Beiyang reactionaries

Duan Xun asked Gu Weijun directly.

Although the "Ili Declaration" issued by China, the United Kingdom and the United States called for Japan to surrender unconditionally, how could it be possible to surrender unconditionally? This is just an attitude.With the fanaticism of the Japanese army, if the conditions put forward were really unacceptable to Japan, how could they agree to surrender.Including the Emperor of Japan, if the conditions are too harsh, how could he announce the surrender.The generals of the army shouted "[-] million pieces of jade" and "a decisive battle in the local area".

So if Japan does not surrender, the war will continue to be fought.

How many casualties will be added.

Japan has been hit hard, but Japan's core defense circle, the Philippines and the Ryukyu Islands, still have 150 million troops.There are also about 70 Japanese troops in other places, such as the Republic of Indonesia, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Malaysia.

Of course, there are more Japanese troops in Japan.Although many of Japan's mainland troops have little combat effectiveness, they are large in number and will cause a lot of trouble.

If it was really a fight with Japan, China, Britain and the United States would not know how much casualties they would have to pay.Therefore, although China, Britain and the United States all demanded Japan's unconditional surrender, they did not really think so.China, Britain and the United States are now constantly attacking Japan, hoping that Japan can take the initiative to accept the fact of defeat and declare its surrender.

As long as the conditions proposed by Japan are not too excessive, both China, Britain and the United States are acceptable.

The same is true in history.

Although it is said to be an unconditional surrender, in fact, the United States also agreed to many conditions of Japan, and the Japanese emperor chose to surrender.If the United States is too harsh, then even if the atomic bomb goes down, Japan may not necessarily surrender.

So Duan Xun asked Japan's conditions directly.

"First, keep the Emperor."

"It can be discussed, but the traditional emperor system must be reformed."

It doesn't matter whether the emperor keeps it or not.

Anyway, after the end of this world war, Duan Xun will not allow the Emperor of Japan to take power.For an industrial country like Japan, which also has an educational foundation, Hitler must not be allowed to appear in them.Because Japan has a solid foundation, even if it is defeated, it can recover faster than other agricultural countries.Therefore, the emperor of such a country has too much power.

It is necessary to decentralize power so that they lose the possibility of waging war.And only when there are more various interest groups, can China win over some of them and influence Japan's politics, economy, and culture.

So keeping the emperor is only in name, and it is very necessary to stay.

"Second, Japan requires troops from various countries not to land on the Japanese mainland."

"this…………"

Duan Xun frowned slightly.

It is unlikely that the troops will not land on the Japanese mainland.This time dismembering Japan and hitting Japan hard, how could it be possible without the cooperation of the troops.Without the deterrence of the troops, how could Japan accept the transformation obediently.

"Shigemitsu Aoi specifically mentioned the North Korean army and asked our country to promise that the North Korean army will never be allowed to land on the Japanese mainland."

"Ah."

Duan Xun nodded and said: "North Korean troops can be prevented from landing on the Japanese mainland, but the Chinese army must land on the Japanese mainland. Since Japan wants to accept the 'Ili Declaration', it should know that Japan will abolish its military and military industry after the war. These things must be done under the supervision of the army."

The deterrence of the military is very necessary.

The Chinese army should go to the Japanese mainland no matter what.Gu Weijun's opinion on Duan Xun was immediately written down on paper.Because the current situation is that China, the United States, Britain and Japan are fighting fiercely, while China and Japan still have to negotiate.

Negotiations are not easy to complete.

Especially the cessation of war, there are too many things to discuss.How to end the war and what kind of punishment the defeated country will suffer are very complicated.Japan hopes to end the war decently and preserve its vitality as much as possible.However, China, the United States and Britain have their own interests in Asia, and they have different ideas about Japan.So the truce seems easy, but there is a lot to talk about.

"Thirdly, Japan hopes to discuss with Japan when determining war criminals."

"After our country and the United Kingdom and the United States determine the list of war criminals, we can disclose it to them in advance so that they can be prepared. And when they are tried, we can appropriately help them mitigate their crimes. As for discussing with Japan to determine the list of war criminals, we can tell them directly This is impossible. If the Japanese government must protect some special people, it can report to us in advance, and we can find a way for them."

A defeated country is a defeated country. It can make some demands, but the demands cannot be too excessive.

There must be awareness of the defeated country.

In the current situation in Japan, it is impossible to retreat completely, and it is also impossible to end the war in a completely decent manner.What China can guarantee is that it can reduce the blow to Japan and help Japan preserve some vitality.For other things, Japan is not qualified to bargain.

Duan Xun was able to give them some face and keep some special people they wanted to keep, which is already giving Japan a lot of face.China will never agree to Japan's more demands.

"Also, Shigemitsu Aoi said that as long as China agrees, Japan is willing to join the Chinese Federation."

"This can be discussed in the future. But this attitude is very good, tell them I am very satisfied."

In a short period of time after the war, Japan's diplomacy will be in the hands of China.

Whether to join the Federation of China or not, Japan will have to listen to China for some time to come.Of course, Duan Xun hopes that Japan will always listen to China's words, but this is just a good wish, not realistic.A person has his own thoughts, and it is impossible to manipulate him forever, let alone a country.

What China wants in the future is not to completely control Japan, but to constantly exert influence on Japan and let him follow China in the general direction.Not only Japan, but all countries in Asia are the same.Even a small country like Vientiane, which is completely dependent on China, has its own ideas and interests to protect.What China has to do is not to completely control them and make them completely obey China.Instead, let them choose the same direction as China.This has been very successful.

"no others?"

"Finally, we talked about some issues of war reparations. Japan hopes to reduce war reparations as much as possible."

"This is negotiable."

It's not that Duan Xun pities Japan, but that Duan Xun also has his own considerations.

According to Britain and the United States, they have fought Japan for so long, but they have not gained much benefit.Therefore, it is certain to demand a large amount of compensation from Japan.However, Japan paid too much war reparations, which is of no benefit to China.

Compared with war reparations, it is better to allow Japan to use the money for economic development, which will drive the economic development of the entire Asia and is more beneficial to China.Japan's current money is also Asian money.The outflow to the hands of the United Kingdom and the United States is instead a loss to Asia and a loss to China.

"About Japan's request, that's my opinion. Tell Japan about our request. First, we ask Japan to return Taiwan in its entirety. I don't want to go to war in Taiwan. If Japan breaks the pot and wreaks havoc Taiwan, or a war in Taiwan, all our promises will be null and void.”

"Second: Guava Island, Kalimantan Island, Sulawesi Island, and the Maluku Islands all surrender to our country."

"Third: All warships and transport ships of the Japanese Navy must surrender to our country."

"If these terms are agreed, then our country is willing to build a bridge for Japan and facilitate negotiations between China, the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. And it will also come forward to take care of Japan, and will not let Britain and the United States make a big judgment against Japan and make a big compensation."

After the "Ili Declaration", the situation in the Far East changed rapidly.

Although Japan has decided to end the war, it will not be able to end in a short while, because there are many ways to end the war.Being beaten in, choosing to surrender unconditionally, or withdrawing from the war conditionally and decently are all completely different situations.It is precisely because no one has a complete answer to how to end the war.So not only the Japanese emperor is still hesitating, but the Japanese military is still clamoring slogans such as "[-] million pieces of jade" and "a decisive battle in the local area".

Negotiations between China and Japan are also continuing.

But during this period of time, the battlefield is changing rapidly.

The armies of China, Britain and the United States gathered together and advanced rapidly on all fronts. On August 1944, 8, the seven-nation coalition led by China and the British army encircled and suppressed 29 Japanese troops in Malaysia.

The attack from the north and the south did not give the Japanese army a chance at all.

Millions of troops flooded into Malaysia, not only having an absolute advantage in numbers, but also far surpassing the Japanese army in terms of weapons and equipment.In addition, the South China Sea Fleet and the British Far East Fleet have already blocked Malaysia, completely cutting off contact between the Japanese army in Malaysia and the outside world.The ammunition and logistics supplies of the Japanese army in Malaysia were completely exhausted, and the troops could not guarantee food at all.The Japanese army on the Malaysian side has not had a full meal for a long time, and their situation is no better than that of the Burmese front army.

In addition, the resistance forces in Malaysia are not small, and the Japanese army's logistics are attacked everywhere, which also puts a lot of pressure on the Japanese army.

Under such circumstances, the army suppressed the border and broke through the Japanese defensive positions in Malaysia within a few days.In less than a week, the Japanese army divided and surrounded Malaysia.Soon, various forces in Malaysia announced their separation from Japan, and in turn declared war on Japan.

There is a lot of resistance in Malaysia.
