Chapter 551 Accepting Negotiations (3)

At this time, the withdrawal of the Korean Peninsula had been completed. The 5th Army still retreated to the west bank of the Yalu River to guard the situation. However, a division was still retained on the east bank of the Yalu River and expanded the defense line to a range of about 10 kilometers east of the Yalu River. The Marine Corps all abandoned Pyongyang, Zhennanpu and other places and retreated to Shandong. One unit was stationed in Yantai and part was stationed in Qingdao.

After learning about the withdrawal of the People's Army, the Japanese army was very cautious, and they dispatched one division to station in Pyongyang and another division to retreat to Seoul. The other three divisions maintained a distance of about 50 kilometers from the People's Army, and did not dare to get too close to the People's Army.

After returning to Qingdao, Luo Yue reported to the working group about the process of this landing operation and the tasks assigned by the working group. When talking about Kim Changshu, Qin Zheng suddenly asked: "How old is this Kim Changshu, and where is his hometown?"

Luo Yue said: "According to his explanation, he was born in 1876 and is exactly 30 years old this year. He is from Haiju, Hwanghae-do, North Korea."

Qin Zheng said again: "What did Jin Changshu do before he joined Dongxuedao?"

Luo Yue said: "According to his words, when he was a teenager, he studied Chinese and Korean characters in a private school, and studied general reviews, historical briefs, military books, universities, Tang poetry, etc. In 1891, he failed the imperial examination and therefore joined Dongxuedao."

Xia Bohai smiled and said, "I am another person who failed the imperial examination, so he looks a bit like Hong Xiuquan."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "That's all right. As I guess, it should be this person."

Everyone else knows that Qin Zheng is familiar with history. Even though he says so, it seems that Jin Changshu should be a relatively famous figure in history. Wang Yunpeng said: "Political Commissar, this Jin Changshu is not General Kim, right?"

In fact, not only Wang Yunpeng, but also several people have this idea, because General Jin is the most well-known peninsula among time travelers, and is almost a person of this era, with the surname Jin, so it is reasonable for everyone to speculate that General Jin is General Jin.

Qin Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Everyone guessed wrong. This person is not General Kim, because General Kim was not born at this time? Of course it would not be him. However, this person has something to do with General Kim. In the history of our time and space, he should be named Kim Jong. He is a legend in Korean history. He is known as the "Father of South Korea". He went into exile in Shanghai after the Trinity Movement in 1919. He worked for South Korea's independence activities and participated in the establishment of the South Korean Provisional Government and served as the Korean Provisional Government. The president of the government also made great achievements during this period. The most worth mentioning is that he presided over two assassinations against Japanese senior officials. One was on January 8, 1932, sent by Kim Kowloon, and South Korean patriot Lee Bongchang threw a * at Sakurada Gate in Tokyo and assassinated the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, but unfortunately failed. The other was on April 29, 1932, planning the explosion in Shanghai Hongkou Park with Wang Yaqiao, a famous killer in the Republic of China. This time, it was a complete failure, killing Shirakawa Yoshinosa, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, and the Japanese Minister to China, Shigekimizu, was also blown off his leg."

Xia Bohai nodded and said, "It seems that this person is indeed very capable and has certain actions, which meets our requirements."

Wang Yunpeng said: "But what does he have to do with General Jin? Is the same clan?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "That's not the case. After the end of World War II, after North Korea was liberated, it was occupied by the United States and Soviet subdistricts and established independent countries respectively. With the support of the United States, Syngman Lee became South Korea's first president. Kim Jong opposed the division of North Korea, opposing South Korea's establishment of a government alone, and was committed to establishing a unified country on the Korean Peninsula. He proposed that the establishment of a unified government should be negotiated by the north and south. He once met with General Kim to discuss the establishment of a unified government of North Korea, which is their relationship. However, because Kim Jong had high prestige in both North and South Korea and advocated unification of North and South, it aroused Lee's hatred and eventually found a killer to assassinate him. If Kim Jong did not die, it would be possible for the Korean Peninsula to establish a coalition government, so there would be no subsequent Korean War."

Xiao Jianjun said: "I have a problem. Judging from the performance of the old time and space, Jin Jiu is indeed a character, with ability, responsibility, action, and ideas. He has a strong sense of mission and responsibility for the country and the nation. But can such a person accept our control for a long time? After all, his behavior must be based on the interests of South Korea, but not a ungrateful wolf. First, use our strength to restore South Korea, and then kick us away with one kick. There are too many such examples in the old time and space. North Korea is one, and Vietnam, so we must learn from the lessons."

Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't think there is any need to worry too much. The old time and space have special national conditions in the old time and space. The relationship between countries does not focus on feelings but only on interests. North Korea and Vietnam became ungrateful. It was indeed a certain mistake in our policy at that time. But in the final analysis, we had to choose a thick hug. Before we traveled through time, weren't there any iron buddies like "Pakistan Tie" and "Cambodia"? Even the Kim Son General of North Korea were improving their relationship with us. It was not Pakistan, Cambodia and Vietnam who valued feelings more than North Korea and Vietnam. It was not because of the conscience of General Kim Son's discovery, but because our strength was different from before. Therefore, whether there was ungrateful depends on our strength, not on choosing a person who was easy to control. Teammates like Italy were of course easy to control, but it was not for us, but it would also become our burden."

Xia Bohai also said: "I agree with Lao Qin's opinion. What we need is capable and capable people, not pig teammates. As for how we will be in the future, we will look at our own development and our collective operations. Moreover, South Korea's interests may not conflict with our interests, so we cannot easily draw conclusions now."

Qin Zheng said: "This way, I will meet this Jin Changshu and talk to him before making a decision."

Xia Bohai said: "The talk must be discussed, but these days probably won't work. The focus of the work is on the preparations for the Ptsmouth negotiations. Lao Qin has the deepest understanding of the international situation. You will be responsible for this matter and let everything else be put aside. Kim Changsoo asked him to wait a few days first. He was the founding father of South Korea in the old time and space, but now he is just a patriotic young man, and he must respect him too much. After finishing this period, it will not be too late for you to meet him."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Okay."

Xia Bohai Road: "Major General Luo."

Luo Yueji was cold on the side for a long time. When he heard him calling him, he hurriedly said, "Come."

Xia Bohai said: "You will take care of Kim Changsoo and other Koreans during this period. You can take them to visit our military camps and train their troops to give them a preliminary understanding of our army."

Luo Yue said: "Yes."

Subsequently, the focus of the East China government's work was completely shifted to the preparations for the Ptsmouth negotiations. Of course, before that, the Foreign Affairs Committee had already begun to do some preparations, and now it mainly revises and supplements the details, and also formulates the principles and techniques of negotiations, etc.

Three days later, the East China government recruited an enlarged cabinet meeting, and all the working group and cabinet members participated to discuss the plan for the Ptsmouth negotiations. First, Qin Zheng introduced the overall goals of this trip to the United States.

Qin Zheng said: "We actually have two goals for this trip to the United States. One is to participate in negotiations, consolidate and expand the benefits we have made on the battlefield, and obtain a large amount of financial compensation from Japan and Russia, which can allow us to pay off foreign debts and have certain development funds; the other is to attract investment. The Northeast is a good place with a vast territory and rich resources, but the foundation is backward. To develop the Northeast, it is not enough to rely solely on our strength. We also need to actively introduce foreign investment. Only in this way can the development of the Northeast be accelerated. Only when the Northeast develops can our East China government develop.

Therefore, this trip to the United States is to take this opportunity to promote the development plan of the Northeast in the United States and meet more American consortiums and entrepreneurs to attract them to invest in the Northeast. In addition, this is also beneficial to our negotiations. Judging from the current situation, the US government represented by US President Roosevelt is obviously biased towards Japan and Russia, but the United States is a capital-controlled country after all. If the American consortiums and entrepreneurs are interested in developing the Northeast and put pressure on the US government, it can force the US government not to be too biased towards Japan and Russia."

After a pause, Qin Zheng said: "Next, Comrade Li Sanjie will introduce to you our participation in the negotiations and formulate the negotiation conditions for Japan and Russia."

At this time, Li Sanjie stood up and said, "These conditions are all preliminary terms formulated by our Foreign Affairs Commission based on the current situation. After listening to it, you can ask questions and express opinions, and we will further improve it."

After saying that, Li Sanjie opened his notebook and said: "First of all, the negotiation conditions we have put forward for Russia: 1. Withdraw troops from Northeast China and hand over the Northeast China to the East China government for management; 2. All privileges of Russia in the Northeast region have been abolished, and the actions of the Russian government and citizens in the Northeast will be based on the legal system of the East China government as the criterion; 3. Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi are both handed over to the East China government for management; 4. Leave Jeye Island to the East China government for management; 5. Middle East Railway and affiliated rights are all handed over to the East China government for management; 6. Pay war compensation, the amount of pre-determined compensation is 80 million pounds, and the bottom line is 50 million pounds; 7. Restrict the military strength of the Russian Far East Navy; 8. Open up Manzhouli and other places for bilateral trade; 9. Share the fishing rights of Russian territorial waters and territorial waters. 10.
