Chapter 914: Sino-US Joint Communiqué

readx; Today, the B29 in the United States and the B16 in China represent the most outstanding aviation industry forces in the World War II era, and a large number of advanced technology applications can effectively control the cost for mass production. www.biquge.info To a certain extent, although the B19 ultra-long-range strategic bomber of the Chinese Air Force can be more excellent, it does not exceed the B16 or B29 in terms of technical level, after all, in order to make the B19 ultra-long-range strategic bomber meet the needs of the nuclear bomb carrier, too many sacrifices have been made.

Ma Yinchu and Kodel? After a cordial handshake, the Chinese airport was greeted by a group of American visitors who left Nanjing Airport and then entered the city of Nanjing in a bridge car produced by China Fuhang Automobile Company.

The number of US delegations secretly visiting this time was not large, only about a dozen people, whether they were military representatives, diplomats, or business personnel, all of them belonged to people who have studied China for a long time, and they belonged to the type of China experts, and most of these people had been to China. But Kodel? It was the first time for Hao Er to come to China, and he looked at the vast road on Nanjing and the many vehicles on the road. Hao Er secretly said in his heart, this is the case with this politically centered Nanjing, so what will Shanghai, China's largest city, look like?

Cordell? Hall's curiosity about Shanghai, China's largest city, Asia's largest industrial and financial city, has become a city on par with London, Paris, Berlin and New York as China's industrial economy has grown.

And Shanghai, like New York, has a large number of skyscrapers, and those skyscrapers make Shanghai full of modernity.

Cordell? It was also a pity that due to the tight schedule, he didn't have time to go to Shanghai to see what people call the largest city in the East.

U.S. Secretary of State Cordell? Hall's visit did not cause much of a stir, and now that it is a time of war, any formal diplomatic act between China and the United States will attract widespread attention. Hall's visit was a secret visit, so as soon as he left the airport, he went directly to the Nanjing Central Hotel to stay, and before he had time to rest, the entourage of the US delegation had already carried out intense work with the Chinese reception staff to make preliminary contact for the follow-up high-level official talks between the two sides.

This time on a visit, Cordell? Hall's mission is very important, and this time he came to China, on the one hand, in the hope of inviting China to officially join the camp of the anti-fascist alliance.

If it is impossible to reach a formal military alliance, then it is to strive to allocate the operational scope of the two sides, for example, China is responsible for attacking the mainland, and Australia and Indonesia and the Philippines are responsible for Britain and the United States, and the reason for this is to avoid China's large-scale attack on the Philippines and Indonesia and even Australia, you must know that China is already doing this, and Britain and the United States do not want to see China land in Australia. Now China's attack on the Indonesian archipelago and the Philippines has made Britain and the United States extremely vigilant, and the Dutch exile political axe, as a colony of the Indonesian archipelago, has repeatedly condemned China for attacking Indonesia without their permission, and Britain is also seriously dissatisfied with China's support for local reading power after conquering MalaysiaBritain is a supporter of the local national reading power, but all this must be done in a referendum after the war under the leadership of the United Kingdom.

In the same way, Britain treated India the same, in order to let the Indians vigorously support the British war, Britain has promised the Indian side that after the war will let India read, with this promise the Indians will widely join the British Commonwealth army, and now there are many Indian divisions to fight in North Africa or Australia.

The same is true for the Philippines, as the original suzerainty of the Philippines, the United States has also promised to give the Philippines a reading status after the war, but this must also be after the war and with the permission of the United States, and the United States has maintained a serious attitude of opposition to the current situation in which China has put aside the United States to attack the Philippines alone.

The question of the post-war status of these colonies, and the specific direction of the wars between China, Britain, and the United States, is Cordell? The focus of Hall's visit to China.

In addition to this, Cordell? Hall also had another purpose, which was to seek China's support for the adoption of dollars for post-war international trade settlements. Since the outbreak of the Second World War, the international trade of various countries has fully entered the gold settlement system, either direct exchange of goods, or gold settlement, and the paper money of various countries has no important people.

This is also an urgent problem for China, because China is different from other countries, China has fully implemented the credit currency standard, and the Chinese dollar banknotes issued in China cannot be directly exchanged for gold or silver from the central bank, which means that the value of the Chinese dollar is just a sentence of the political axe, and this kind of currency without gold as a guarantee is unacceptable to other countries.

However, how to solve the problem of national trade settlement after the war, this point has to be considered in detail, but Chen Jingyun will never say that the US dollar will become the only currency for international trade settlement, which is unacceptable for China, but if Huayuan wants to replace the US dollar as the national trade settlement currency, it is also an impossible thing, because Britain and the United States and other countries will not admit it.

In the evening of the same day, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a letter for Kodel? A welcome banquet was held for Hall's visit, and the delegations of the two sides began detailed negotiations on various issues.

Later, Chen Jingyun, who had returned to Nanjing from an inspection in Chuzhou, met with Kodel? Haoer, after a public and superficial conversation, the two entered Chen Jingyun's office and had a secret conversation, but what the two talked about was unknown to outsiders.

Cordell? After a three-day stay in Nanjing, Hall's delegation hurriedly flew to Iran on a GA8 plane and then returned to the United States.

A few days later, China and the United States issued a joint communiqué!

This joint communiqué can be said to be a follow-up to the Pacific Pact signed by China, Britain and the United States at the beginning of the year, which mainly stipulated the distribution of interests between the two countries, including the fact that Britain and the United States will accept China's special interests on the Indochina Peninsula, while China will promise to sever trade with China.

This joint communiqué is mainly concerned with the distribution of the post-war interests of China, Britain, and the United States in the Pacific region.

There are two main contents of the joint communique: the first is that the reading power and freedom of the Asian people are inviolable, and the second is that China and the United States do not recognize any territorial changes in wartime!

The first can be understood to mean that China and the United States support the reading power of the colonies in the Asian region. The reason for this is that both China and the United States want to make the Dutch colonies as well as the British and French colonies fully read, and the other point is that both China and the United States are trying to avoid the other side directly or controlling these colonies, which is very important for the security of the post-war situation and the impact of international trade.

The second article may be said to be a supplement to the first, which ostensibly means that the two countries do not recognize the territories occupied during the war, but in fact prevent them from directly occupying many territories in the Pacific during the wartime.

What the joint communiqué says is grandiose, and in fact there is no actual content from it, and some of the details that have not been announced in the joint communiqué are the specific content.

For example, in the subsidiary rules, it is stipulated that in order to maintain security and stability in the Pacific region and curb the expansion of the Pacific region, the two countries have decided to jointly launch a military attack on the country.

At the same time, the two sides signed a series of humanitarian relief agreements, such as the rescue of overboard pilots and submarine crews, and China will promise to provide supply support to U.S. submarines active in the western Pacific.

In addition, both sides have an obligation to provide intelligence support to the other.

As for the United States' extreme demand that China control the use of ports and air bases, China has resolutely refused, joking that if the United States is allowed to deploy strategic bombers to North Korea or China, then Chen Jingyun will have to worry about these bombers directly bombing Shanghai every day!

Moreover, it is not easy for other people's military troops to let them go, so Chen Jingyun will definitely not start this way, anyway, China does not need the help of the United States to deal with the "Ben", and it is enough to deal with the "Ben" China itself.

Although there are still many contradictions and conflicts between China and the United States, they still maintain full restraint and understanding in the face of such an enemy.

However, this restraint and understanding are extremely fragile, for example, China and the United States have so far not reached a specific demarcation of each side of responsibility for a certain front, and the United States has so far not recognized the legal surname of China's attack on the Philippines, and has strongly opposed China's attack on the Indonesian archipelago.

These issues cannot be reached through negotiation alone, because an agreement is reached but it is difficult to implement it, because China will not give up attacking the Philippines and the Indonesian archipelago because the United States does not allow it, otherwise China's declaration of war will become meaningless, and it cannot control the first island chain, and it cannot control the Strait of Malacca, so what benefits can China gain by launching this war?

However, although no agreement was reached on this issue, both sides had promised to support the reading power of these colonies after the war, and during the negotiations, the United States and China also discussed the colonial status of various countries in Africa, and then both sides came to a conclusion that both sides were extremely satisfied, that is, the reading power and freedom of the African people were inviolable!

In other words, after the war, China will join the United States in supporting the reading power of these colonies!
