The country is planning for the future, and the republic is also planning for the future. After receiving the news that Yan Shanglong had returned from Paris. Wang Yuanqing immediately convened a high-level meeting of the republic.

Expanding the scope of strategic bombing and strengthening the strategic blockade have become ironclad facts, and no one has expressed opposition. It's just that Gu Weimin and Zong Yingren are a little dissatisfied with Wang Yuanqing's "arbitrariness", and even Ye Zhisheng doesn't understand such a heavy decision. Why didn't Wang Yuanqing inform others in advance? Xiang Linghui will definitely not think about these questions. Yuan and ordered the expansion of the scale of the bombing, which was exactly what he thought. Only Li Cunxun really understands Wang Yuanqing. In order not to let others carry the burden, Wang Yuanqing took all the risks and responsibilities alone. Fortunately, the result did not go far, at least the death of the Japanese emperor, and did not cause discontent among the citizens of the republic.

"I gave the order, it's done, and I don't want everyone to dwell on this issue anymore." Wang Yuanqing's attitude is still very arbitrary, and Sang has given others a chance to express their opinions. "What we need to be concerned about is how the situation will unfold after Japan withdraws from the armistice talks, and how we should respond."

Gu Weimin took two puffs of cigarette and said nothing. It seems that motivation has been hit hard.

Zong Yingren hesitated for a while, but still kept his mouth shut and did not rashly express his opinion.

I know Wang Yuanqing's temper very well for victory. It will not make a high-profile appearance at this time.

Xiang Linghui glanced at everyone and said, "What else can I do?" The bombing is also blown up, and the dead cannot be brought back to life. Since Japan voluntarily withdrew from the armistice negotiations, we continued to fight until Japan signed the armistice treaty. ”

"If Japan does not sign the armistice treaty. What are we going to do? ”

"Then go ahead"

was kicked by Li Cunxun, and Xiang Linghui closed his mouth.

Wang Yuanqing shook his head with a smile and said: "According to the current situation, there is only one way to get and sign the armistice treaty, that is, to go out and occupy the Japanese mainland and support the pro-China regime." Of course, we will not send troops from our own country, not to mention how many casualties there are, how to solve the tens of millions of war refugees? There is no justification whatsoever for the Republic to provide livelihood support and medical assistance to tens of millions of Japanese refugees. ”

Xiang Linghui sneered, and the net wanted to speak. Li Cunxun handed the cigarette to his soil.

"In that case, we should end the state of war as soon as possible." After pondering for a while, Gu Weimin guessed Wang Yuanqing's intentions.

"End the state of war? The war is not over. It's not clear when it's going to end, we"

"Lao Gu is right, we must lift the state of war as soon as possible." Wang Yuanqing did not let Xiang Linghui continue, so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the meeting. "The strategic bombing and the strategic blockade will continue, and we have prepared sufficient funds for the war and have reached an agreement with the national capitalists that part of the procurement costs can be deferred. As long as it does not have a negative impact on the country's economy, there is really no need to end combat operations. When the situation stabilizes, I will declare a return to normal order. According to the strategic strike plan drawn up by the General Staff, the large-scale bombardment will be over in less than three days. In other words, in about three months, we will return to the state of peace. War is no longer the main purpose. ”

Gu Weimin nodded slightly, and his expression looked a little better.

"When to end the state of war, I'm afraid it is not up to us to decide, it depends on the attitude of Europe and the United States." Zong Yingren also spoke at this time. "The killing of the Japanese emperor will definitely have an impact on Europe and the United States. If Europe and the United States change their attitude and provide strategic excursions to Japan, I am afraid that the war will last longer"

"That's exactly what we need to think about." Seeing that Zong Yingren pulled the topic over, Wang Yuanqing took the opportunity to say, "The attitude of Europe and the United States has definitely changed, but I think it is unlikely that Europe and the United States will support Japan with great fanfare." So far, the attitude of Europe and the United States has been able to explain their basic policies. As long as we are determined to carry the war through to the end, the United States will not support Japan at the risk of direct confrontation with the real people, and Europe will not be able to play the role of the main culprit. The biggest possibility is that Europe and the United States will come forward directly. We are asked to provide security for humanitarian relief operations. ”

"Lao Wang is right." Gu Weimin was obviously more active, "It is unlikely that the United States will come forward in person, and it is very likely that it will put pressure on us through Europe, asking us to provide Japan with the most basic humanitarian support after expanding the scale of strategic poisoning." We have little room for manoeuvre in this regard, and we should not go against Europe. In the foreseeable future, Europe will not be our main enemy, but an effective force thrown to weaken the hegemony of the United States. We must give face to Europe, especially France, Germany and Italy, and help Ousi to strengthen its momentum and strengthen Europe's courage. Besides, given Japan's current situation, even if we reduce the intensity of our bombing, we will be able to save more than 3 million Japanese at most. In this way, even if Japan had the full support of the United States and could recover as quickly as possible after the war, it would not have posed a threat to us in the first 30 years, or even half a century, because the population was too prolific. Have we reached? Purpose, there is no need to rush to exterminate. From another point of view, we don't fight to kill all the obituaries, Bi Fang has tens of millions of Japanese nationals in dozens of countries

Xiang Linghui snorted coldly, seemingly disdainful of Gu Weimin's opinion.

Seeing Xiang Jiehui's expression, Li Cunxun sighed secretly. Fortunately, Gu Weimin did not continue to serve as the premier of the State Council, otherwise I don't know how many conflicts he would have with Xiang Linghui.

"I completely agree with Lao Gu's opinion." Wang Yuanqing glared at Xiang Linghui and said, "We have expressed our sincerity to the EU with practical actions. France has also expressed its intention to cooperate with us with concrete actions. The situation in Europe is very complicated, and I will not be able to finish talking about it for a while, but everyone knows it in their hearts, so I will not be too wordy. As Lao Gu said, how to make good use of the EU will have a crucial impact on our future exhibitions. As large-scale strategic bombing unfolds, the situation in the EU will become more complicated. The United States, which is the same as us, knows more about European countries, and therefore is more able to use European countries. If I guess correctly, the United States will definitely put pressure on the EU countries in public opinion and let the alliance put pressure on us. At the moment, unless we stop strategic bombing, there will be no effective timely measures. The only way to win over the EU is to cooperate diplomatically with the EU and express its sincerity in armistice negotiations with Japan through the EU. Whether we talk about it or not, we can't say it, and it's up to Japan to decide. If Japan refuses to talk, we will not have to bear responsibility. In terms of humanitarian relief, we need to be fully prepared and not leave a talking point. The State Council is directly responsible for this matter and will report to me at any time. ”

Zong Yingren nodded and agreed.

"The key is still the United States." Wang Yuanqing lit a cigarette and said, "Before making the decision to expand the scale of strategic bombing, I thought about it very much, and what I was most worried about was to let the United States go to extremes. On the other hand, our concerns are somewhat unnecessary. The United States did not enter the war and does not intend to do so, will it want the war to last? Our attitude has been very clear, and the United States must have some concerns. As long as we do not occupy Japan, we will not undertake the post-war construction of Japan. In the eyes of the United States, Japan is not an ally in the true sense of the word, but a pawn to contain us. What good can the United States do to blow Japan up? The current situation in the world is very different from the situation after the end of World War II, and the United States is no longer the only world hegemon, and its economic strength is far inferior to that of Yue at the end of World War II. "Marshall, the post-war reconstruction plan cannot help Japan complete the post-war reconstruction work with the strength of one country. From this, it can be assumed that the United States, like us, wants the war to end as soon as possible, not to fight endlessly. ”

Gu Weimin listened very carefully, and when Wang Yuanqing finished speaking, he couldn't help but nodded.

In this combination, including Wang Yuanqing. The top brass of the republic is most worried about the sudden change of tactics of the United States and its going to extremes. It can be said that many of the previous decisions, such as taking the initiative to propose armistice negotiations, were mainly influenced by US policies in addition to domestic factors. Gong Yuanqing changed his perspective and lived farther than others, firmly believing that the United States would not support Japan, and he strengthened his determination to completely destroy Japan.

Obviously, this is a big gamble of faith and will!

Whoever can't hold on first will lose everything.

"If the United States does not enter the war, Kenan will cooperate with Europe on humanitarian issues" Gong Yuanqing took a few puffs of cigarette, threw most of the remaining cigarette butts into the ashtray, and said, "It's just that judging from the current situation, the United States will not put pressure on Japan to force Japan to return to the negotiating table." If I were the president of the United States, I would do one thing, and that would be to try to preserve Japan's life, so that I could recover after the war. It is likely that the United States will accept some Japanese refugees, if not at home, in overseas territories administered by the United States, such as the Northern Mariana Islands and Puerto Rico. To this end, the United States will press us after the European Union intervenes to reduce the intensity of the strategic blockade and allow some Japanese refugees to go to the resettlement sites offered by Western countries. In addition, the United States will also purchase bulk materials from the county in advance, such as buttons, iron, cement and other raw materials for post-war reconstruction. For us, this is a very good opportunity. In the past, it was the United States that plundered other countries, but now it is everyone's turn to plunder the United States. ”

"Yuan means

Wang Yuanqing glanced at Ye Zhisheng and said with a smile: "We will hoard what the United States buys." Of course, the republic does not need to come forward in person, as long as the news is released in advance, many countries can benefit. This war has had an impact on the very Ukrainian country, and no matter how big the cake is, we can't eat it. It is better to divide it out, let other countries get some light, and by the way, enhance our country's international influence. ”

Ye Zhisheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Wang Zhiqing meant.

"Of course, there are many ways to hit the United States, and we can think slowly and act when we think of it.

Everyone laughed, and they had to admire Wang Yuanqing's strategic vision.

The atmosphere of the meeting was relaxed, and Wang Yuanqing was divided like an understatement, and the negative repercussions caused by the killing of the Japanese emperor seemed to be all at first glance.
