Three days later, Hirofumi Ito submitted the plan and goals for this negotiation he had formulated to the Japanese cabinet. After only one day, he received approval from the cabinet and agreed that Hirofumi Ito would negotiate according to the actual situation encountered during the negotiation and could adjust the plan according to the actual situation encountered during the negotiation.

At this moment, Naotao Miyamoto visited Hirofumi Ito again and proposed that he hoped to go to Shanghai with Hirofumi Ito to participate in this negotiation and do his best for Japan.

Hirofumi Ito was quite moved when he heard this, because this negotiation was not a good job, and others avoided it. Those who were ordered were reluctant and had to repeatedly infer it. However, Naotao Miyamoto volunteered to follow him to negotiate in Shanghai. Such a responsible spirit is really valuable. And Hirofumi Ito has been quite convinced of Naotao Miyamoto's knowledge and judgment. Therefore, if Naotao Miyamoto follows, there will be someone to negotiate. With Hirofumi Ito's power, it is of course no difficulty to transfer someone to the negotiation team.

In fact, Naotao Miyamoto’s real purpose is to observe the time travelers of East China at close range and make a new assessment of East China at the same time.

In the past, Naotao Miyamoto was a Japanese intelligence officer, sneaked into Qingdao, Shanghai and other places and planned the explosion in Shanghai, but he did not have contact with the time traveler, because he was a time traveler who was the leader of East China. Although he is now in modern society, the quality of the leader still has a considerable impact on a country.

In addition, the history known to Naotaku Miyamoto had undergone major changes at this time. In the old time and space, although Japan paid a significant price, it won the Russo-Japanese War and obtained major geostrategic benefits, laying a solid foundation for Japan to become a player in the international power game.

However, in this time and space, the scale of the Russo-Japanese War expanded into the Far East War, but the victorious side became the East China ***. Japan not only did not gain geostrategic benefits like the old time and space, but also basically lost the opportunity to compete with the East China ***. Naotao Miyamoto was also from the future and knew the advantages and disadvantages of Japan and China better than people of this era. Therefore, it is necessary to reconsider the direction of Japan's next development. All of this is to understand the quality and ability of the leaders of East China ** to make a clear judgment.

The negotiator sent by East China ** is the second-ranked Qin Zheng, which is a great opportunity to understand the leaders of East China **. Therefore, Naotao Miyamoto asked Hirofumi Ito to participate in the negotiation.

Soon, Naotao Miyamoto's identity was completed, and his public position was Hirofumi Ito's personal assistant, and he joined the Japanese negotiating delegation. Two days later, Hirofumi Ito led a total of 64 people from Tokyo and took the Japanese merchant ship Hirakawa Maru to Shanghai.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When East China ** received Japan's confirmation of changing the negotiation candidate, Qin Zheng rushed back to Qingdao from Shenyang. After learning that Japan had confirmed that Hirofumi Ito was the negotiator, Qin Zheng was also very satisfied. In the past few days, Qin Zheng also carefully divided the negotiations and determined the preliminary negotiation plan and the benefits East China ** should obtain. This time, he came back to Qingdao to report to the Executive Yuan and confirm.

In fact, in Qingdao, the discussion of this negotiation on Japan was far greater than that of negotiations with Britain, France and the Netherlands. First, the time travelers had special emotions towards Japan, which made the time travelers still interested; second, the negotiations with Japan were delayed for a long time and there was enough time to ferment.

Of course, there are various statements about the negotiations between time travelers on Japan, such as asking the Emperor to abdicate; the East China ** stationed troops in Japan; prohibiting Japan from owning troops or limiting the size of the Japanese army; not allowing Japan to make offensive weapons; requiring Japan to spit out all the Korean Peninsula, Ryukyu Islands, and Taiwan, in short, it is to kill Japan.

The Korean Restoration Organization in Qingdao, led by Kim Changshu, is also actively appealing to demand that East China ** join the Japanese forces in this negotiation and withdraw from the Korean Peninsula, and allow South Korea to be independent and independent, and has also received support from many time travelers. First, from the perspective of geostrategic considerations, the Korean Peninsula is a springboard for entering China from the sea and an important strategic buffer zone for China. Therefore, it must be a pro-East China regime; second, some time travelers were from the old time and space, and loved the house and the Ukrainians, so they also had a good impression of Kim Changshu and other people.

Of course, after Kim Changshu came to Qingdao, with the support of the East China **, he recruited more than 2,000 Koreans and formed a regiment of troops. Kim Changshu himself also actively engaged in Qingdao and made many friends, which was quite active.

Xia Bohai of course knew that these conditions that would slap Japan to death were not realistic, because East China ** does not have the ability to fully control Japan, and Japan has not completely lost the power of counterattack. Therefore, Japan cannot accept these conditions and can only fight to the end with East China **. Such a result is not what East China ** wants to see. Then it is definitely not an easy task to grasp the limits in the negotiations.

However, East China ** confirmed that Qin Zheng was the negotiator and that Qin Zheng was not in Qingdao, so he could not start a discussion. Now that Qin Zheng returned to Qingdao, Xia Bohai immediately ordered the Executive Council to hold an administrative meeting to discuss the strategies and conditions for negotiations with Japan.

Qin Zheng first spoke at the meeting: "This negotiation with Japan mainly consists of four issues. The first is the amount of compensation. Of course, the more the amount, the better, but Japan's ability to bear it must also be considered; the second is the land, the three colonies in Japan, the Korean Peninsula, the Ryukyu Islands, and Taiwan are all strategic areas around China. Since it is Taiwan, it was originally China's inherent territory, whether it was taken back during this negotiation; the third is the issue of prisoners of war, including whether the labor we captured from Japan later was returned to Japan after the negotiation; the fourth is other issues, such as the South Korean issue, our diplomacy and trade relations with Japan, etc. Of course, this part of the issue is relatively simple, not Guan Jian of this negotiation."

Xia Bohai said: "Very good, let's discuss it one by one. First of all, we are sure, how much does it cost to knock Japan this time?"

Everyone laughed all of a sudden, and Jia Zhenzhao said: "France lost 600,000 pounds, the UK is 28 million pounds plus 1/4 of Kalimantan Island. Japan's compensation must not be lower than that of Britain and France. I think at least 80 million pounds, it is best if 100 million can be mentioned."

Wang Jun said: "80 million pounds are not a small number, almost 7.8 billion yen. Japan's annual financial income is only about 200 million yen, but I am afraid that Japan will not be able to afford it now."

You Mingqian said: "Whether Japan can afford to pay compensation, it has something to do with us. If we can't afford it, we won't pay it. That's the reason."

Wang Jun said: "You can't say that. If Japan really can't afford to pay, it's useless to force him. Our goal is to get compensation, so it's more practical. Isn't it better to set a amount that Japan can afford!"

Qin Zheng said: "I think that affordable and affordable are not the same concept. 'Affordable' should include borrowing money. Japan's compensation must not be less than that of Britain and France. Otherwise, what is the point of winning this battle? Therefore, I think the amount of compensation is set to be within the range of 80 million to 100 million pounds."

Xia Bohai said: "I agree with this. We are the winner. There is no need to accommodate the losers too much. Just be almost done. This is not to let Japan pay 1 billion or 800 million pounds! As for how to borrow money and let Japan find a way on its own, we just need to collect the money. If we can't afford to pay, then continue to fight. We must never give in."

Qin Zheng said: "That's the decision. The second point is, what should I do if I have land issues?"

Xiao Jianjun said: "Of course, we have to do it. The Korean Peninsula, the Ryukyu Islands, and Taiwan are strategic locations, and Japan must be spit out. South Korea can restore its country, but it must be under our control. The Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan must be included in our possession, so that we can push the southeast border line to the first island chain, increasing the depth of our defense."

Qin Zheng said: "I judge that Japan's chances of accepting compensation of 80 million to 100 million pounds are quite high, but the possibility of accepting these three colonies is very low. Because Japan only guards the four local islands, it basically has no future for development."

Xiao Jianjun said: "Then continue fighting until Japan spits out all three colonies."

Qin Zheng said: "Then it is different from our negotiation goals. In this negotiation, our primary goal is to obtain funds for future development, and continuing to start a war is not in our current interests."

At this time, Xia Bohai said: "My opinion is that it is best to only collect money in this negotiation, not land. After the war, our primary goal is to develop and achieve comprehensive industrialization as soon as possible within the scope of our control. Therefore, funds are what we need most. Although the strategic value of these three places is great, Japan's strength cannot leverage the strategic advantages of these three places for at least 20 years. And as long as our own strength improves and develops, we can retake these three places from Japan at any time. There is no need to rush to this moment."
