Chapter 552 Accepting Negotiations (4)

Li Sanjie also said: "The negotiation conditions we have proposed against Japan are: 1. Recognize the sovereignty of the East China government in Northeast China. In the future, the actions of the Japanese government and citizens in Northeast China will be based on the legal system of the East China government; 2. Pay war compensation, the amount of the scheduled compensation is 80 million pounds, and the bottom line is 50 million pounds, the same as Russia; 3. Japan opens a trading port, and the East China government enjoys the most favored-nation treatment with other countries; 4. Citizens in the East China government enjoy the same treatment as other foreigners, and the Japanese government has the obligation to ban anti-China movements at home; 5. The East China government shares its economic power on the Korean Peninsula with Japan; 6. Threatening military facilities against the East China government within 50 kilometers of the Sino-South Korea border; 7. Share fishing rights with Japanese territorial waters and territorial waters; 8.

The Japanese warships captured in the war belong to the East China government. Among these eight conditions, 1, 2, 8 must be met and cannot be negotiated, while 5 and 6 must be done to achieve them. We must ensure the legal ability to operate on the Korean Peninsula. 3, 4, and 7 must negotiate with Japan to plan together, and we can make appropriate concessions. In particular, according to the situation we have mastered, there have been serious anti-China and anti-China behaviors in Japan. There are a large number of overseas Chinese, and international students have been beaten to death and injured by the Japanese. The Foreign Affairs Commission has issued a warning to Japan on these situations, so this article is included in the negotiation clause."

While Li Sanjie introduced, a staff member had distributed the printed negotiation terms documents to everyone one by one. Li Sanjie said: "This is the case with the preliminary drafting of the negotiation terms documents. If you have any questions or opinions, you can raise them."

Wang Jun first said: "I have a few questions to mention. First, we only made the demand for cede land to Russia, but not for Japan. Why is this? Secondly, as we all know, Russia is the country that invaded the most territory of our country, with accumulating about 1.7 million square kilometers. We only want one Sakhalin Island for Russia, and the bottom line is only half of Sakhalin Island. Is it too little? I think even if it is not restored to the provisions of the Treaty of Nebchu, at least the Ussuri River Basin should be returned."

Li Sanjie said: "First of all, I want to explain that Sakhalin Island, the Ussuri River Basin, and the Outer Khingan Mountains can be regarded as China's inherent territory, but it was occupied by Russia. Therefore, our land requirement for Russia is to repatriate land, not to let Russia cede land; but in Russia's view, in the [China-Russia Aihui Treaty] and the [China-Russia Beijing Treaty], it has clearly stipulated that these places belong to Russia, so there is no return territory.

The three northeastern provinces are the land occupied by Russia. As for matters, Russia's attitude is based on legal basis. Even if we say the [China-Russia Aihui Treaty] and the [China-Russia Beijing Treaty] are both unequal treaties, but the two treaties of Bijing were signed by the legal government of China at that time. Therefore, in order to avoid legal reconciliation, we used the neutral term "leverage to the East China government for management" in the terms and documents. In short, we will get the land first."

"The primary goal of our negotiations is to obtain compensation, pay off our foreign debts, and obtain development funds. The lost land is only the secondary goal. After all, there is too much land ceded by Qingting, so we cannot recover them all at once. This time, we not only recovered the three northeastern provinces, but also Vladivostok and Shuangchengzi. The land has been recovered has been enough, and we can also explain it to the people of the whole country. After all, we only have one province in Shandong now, and at most half of Henan Province is added.

To be honest, our appetite is limited and if we expand too much, we may not be able to digest it. The land we recovered needs to develop, otherwise it will only become our burden, and development requires funds. Only when our own strength is strong can we continue to regain other lands. Therefore, the goal we set in this negotiation is to recover Sakhalin Island, and it is enough to recover half of it, mainly because of the strategic value of Sakhalin Island. The cooperation between Sakhalin Island and Vladivostok can pose a threat to northern Japan."

"At least why we don't make land claims on Japan. This is because Japan does not occupy much territory in China. In fact, there is only one Taiwan, and we will inevitably be petty. The terms of the negotiation cannot be wishful thinking. We must also consider the advantages and disadvantages of both parties, the bargaining chips and the other party's ability to bear. Although we do have the military advantage at present, this advantage is not big enough to ask for Japan. At least we do not have much threat to Japan at present, so it is impossible to increase the amount unlimited. In addition, once we make Taiwan's request to Japan, Japan is likely to use the return of Taiwan as a transaction to reduce the reparation of Taiwan. This is obviously not worth the loss for us. It is better not to mention Taiwan. In short, the same sentence is that as long as we are strong, we can continue to regain other lands. At that time, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Ussuri River Basin, including the Outer Khingan Mountains, and the Tannu Oraladabah. "

You Mingqian said: "What does it mean to share economic power on the Korean Peninsula with Japan? Don't we have no requirements for the Korean Peninsula this time? Otherwise, the troops that were attacked by North Korea would not be withdrawn again, and how much economic benefits can the Korean Peninsula have?"

Li Sanjie said: "The goal of this is certainly not for the economic benefits on the Korean Peninsula, but to gain the power to let our people move freely on the Korean Peninsula in the name of doing business. The Korean Peninsula has always been a buffer zone in Northeast China. Therefore, after we develop and grow, we will definitely include the Korean Peninsula in our sphere of influence. Then from now on, we should prepare for this. After we gain economic power on the Korean Peninsula, we can do business, invest, and open factories on the Korean Peninsula, and go deep into the Korean Peninsula to collect intelligence, support and buy agents. In the future, it will be much easier to compete with Japan for the Korean Peninsula."

Lu Hong said: "Why only limit the size of Russia's naval in the Far East, but not Japan's navy? Isn't it more beneficial to us if it limits the size of Japan's navy."

Li Sanjie said: "There are two aspects: first of all, we occupied Vladivostok, and Russia lost its port in the Far East. If the navy wants to find a port stationed, it can only go to Miaojie, which is Nikolayevsk in the old time and space. However, Miaojie is too far north and is not an ideal naval port. Therefore, Russia's navy in the Far East cannot maintain its previous size. In addition, we only restrict the scale of Russia's navy in the Far East, but it does not restrict Russia's navy. Russia can develop its navy in Europe, and wait until the opportunity in the Far East and the conditions are ripe before being sent to the Far East. OK, then this condition is completely within the acceptable range of Russia. You only need to discuss with us the details of how big the naval scale is. If we require restrictions on Japan's naval development, it is equivalent to completely interrupting Japan's hope of re-emerging in the future. This is a condition that Japan absolutely cannot accept, so Japan can only fight with us to the end. To put it bluntly, the same sentence is still the saying, "The terms of the negotiation cannot be wishful thinking, but also the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, the bargaining chips and the other's ability to bear it." If it exceeds the other's ability to bear it, it is impossible to succeed."

Ye Yanfu said: "How is the amount of compensation formulated? If we follow the bottom line we set, the compensation from Japan and Russia is 100 million pounds, and the foreign debt we borrowed has reached 60 million pounds. The total bonds issued in Shandong and Shanghai have reached about 70 million silver dollars. In addition, the interest is totaling between 75-80 million pounds. That is to say, the amount we finally get is only more than 20 million pounds. Isn't it too little? I think it should be 50 million pounds anyway."

Li Sanjie said: "20 million pounds are actually not a small amount. It is converted into silver dollars, which is about 180 million, which exceeds our fiscal revenue for one and a half years. In addition, according to the situation we have mastered, although our loans are quite large, they have not been completely used up yet, and there are about 3,000 silver dollars left. Moreover, our own funds and fiscal revenue this year have not counted our own funds, so the net income of 20 million pounds is acceptable. Moreover, 100 million pounds is just our bottom line. We will try our best to reach a higher number and reach the 50 million pounds you require. In addition, we set this number, which is also a comprehensive reference to many factors, not only in the range that Japan and Russia can bear, but also to ensure that if Japan and Russia do not accept this condition, the losses they will suffer will definitely be greater than the amount we ask for compensation."

Jia Zhenzhao said: "Have the Foreign Affairs Commission considered that if Japan and Russia have a tough attitude and refuse to accept our conditions and make the negotiations break down, will we have a solution to deal with it?"

Qin Zheng took over this topic and said, "Of course there is, once the negotiations break down, we will immediately launch a new war. Although we do not have an overwhelming advantage over Japan and Russia at present, our military advantage is still quite large. If the negotiations break down, what we can do for Russia is to attack Shenyang, annihilate 300,000 Russian troops there, and then send troops to attack Manzhouli, drive the Russian troops out of the northeast completely, and also send troops to capture Sakhalin Island, Ussuri River Basin and other places, and fight to Miaojie, which completely makes Russia lose its ports in the Far East. The Russian army's strength in these areas is quite thin and basically not
