readx; On the point of supporting colonial reading, China and the United States have made it clear that they want to dig into the heels of traditional European powers such as Britain and France, and in other respects the Sino-US disputes are extremely great, but on this point China and the United States have an unprecedented unanimity, and whoever maintains a tough attitude on the colonial issue will be confronted with China and the United States, and if they confront China and the United States, it will basically be a confrontation with the world. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info.

Even if they strongly oppose the issue of India and the colonies mentioned in the Sino-US Joint Communiqué last year, it does not mean that India is not allowed to read power, but that this is an internal affair of the United Kingdom, and they British will let India read power, but you China and Americans should not interfere in the internal affairs of our Britain, to put it bluntly, you want to save face.

Relations between China and the United States, far from being tense, have eased since the Khachach conflict, so much so that October 1945 was spent in tension, but by November the world had calmed down.

And what really calmed down the world situation had to be another thing, that is, after three successive increases in appropriations, almost in a state of full rush, the United States finally made a breakthrough in the Manhattan project, on November 27, 1945, the United States conducted the first nuclear explosion test, and it was a complete success.

That evening, President Truman made a speech to the nation through radio with an excited face, declaring that the United States had officially acquired the technology for the atomic bomb, and that the American atomic bomb would become the guarantee of freedom for the people of the United States and the world.

Chen Jingyun did not react very much to learning that the United States had successfully conducted a nuclear explosion test, because the Manhattan Project of the Americans had already been carried out, and if it had not been for the successive assassination of a number of American nuclear physicists by the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department, they would have had to achieve a successful nuclear explosion in the first half of the year, and according to history, there would have been a nuclear bomb that could be used in actual combat in the first half of the year.

The success of the Americans in developing a nuclear bomb was expected, but in many things in the future, they could not rely on their own nuclear bombs to threaten the Americans. In future diplomacy and various disputes, the two sides will be in a state of equality, and it will be difficult to think of such a thing as last year and this year, which forced the Americans to give up many interests and even make Truman fearful.

To the surprise of the Americans, China did not react too violently in the face of the success of the nuclear explosion of the United States, but immediately put forward a proposal to the United States, that is, China and the United States signed a nuclear non-proliferation treaty, which stipulates that nuclear states among the signatories shall not provide nuclear bomb technology to foreign countries, and non-nuclear countries shall not seek to acquire nuclear bomb technology. In short, the nuclear bomb can only be possessed by China and the United States, and no other country can possess it.

In the face of China's proposal, the Americans are very interested, because the nuclear bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that everyone loves and fears everyone, naturally holds it in their own hands, and it is better if others do not have it. If China does not sign this nuclear non-proliferation treaty, then in the foreseeable future, China may provide nuclear weapons technology to Germany, and the United States itself will provide nuclear technology to Britain for the sake of nuclear balance, and at the same time, the Soviet Union and Russia may also develop or obtain nuclear bomb technology through other means. At that time, the nuclear bomb will be very difficult to control.

So Truman's idea is similar to Chen Jingyun's, that is, the nuclear bomb is a thing, and the fewer countries that have it, the better.

However, the German issue has not yet been completely resolved, and World War II can actually be regarded as continuing, so the signing of this nuclear non-proliferation treaty or any tariff agreement between China and the United States is still empty talk, and all this will have to wait for the German issue to be completely resolved.

On December 1, 1945, in order to express its sincerity in the peace negotiations, Germany took the initiative to withdraw from the territories of Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, and the above areas were handed over to the Allied control.

Three days later, Germany again announced that Germany would completely withdraw its troops from the Czech Republic, and that the western part of the Czech Republic, which was under German control, was accepted by the Chinese troops.

Five days later, the United States announced that it would not consider peace talks with Germany unless Germany completely renounced any territory it had acquired during the war and handed over the war criminals to trial by the Allied Special Tribunal.

Of course, these secret negotiators are unknown to ordinary people, they only know the superficial process.

Soon after, on December 15, 1945, Germany once again announced the withdrawal of its troops from Denmark. As a result, Germany had withdrawn from all the occupied areas and returned its troops to Germany itself, but in fact Germany had lost part of its pre-war territory, for example, East Prussia was now under the control of Soviet Russia, and they had no intention of exchanging East Prussia to Germany.

It was only after the complete withdrawal of German troops from the occupied territories that the two sides entered the formal stage of open negotiations, and on December 17, 1945, Britain and the United States announced that they would enter into limited diplomatic contacts with Germany. Although Soviet Russia was full of unwillingness, it was actually impossible to start a war at this time, and it was impossible for Soviet Russia to continue to drag on like this, and negotiations always had to be discussed, so Soviet Russia also announced that it was willing to hold armistice talks with Germany, of course, with a lot of conditions attached.

After a lot of bickering among diplomats, an agreement was reached that the countries would send negotiators to Baghdad, Iraq, for formal negotiations.

Originally, the Chinese proposed to hold negotiations in Nanjing, China, but the Americans insisted on Washington, and the British initially said that they would hold it in London, and later said that it could also be held in Cairo, Egypt, which was under the control of the British army. And the Soviet and Russian sides also demanded that negotiations be held in Moscow, but as for the Germans, naturally they did not have so many demands, as long as the negotiations were successful.

Therefore, after a round of bargaining, the countries did not want the negotiation venue to mess up the negotiations, so they followed the proposal put forward by the British and held it in Baghdad, Iraq, and the security of the negotiations was fully responsible for the British military.

When these were settled, the negotiation process was very rapid, and on December 23, the negotiators arrived in Baghdad by special plane.

The head of the Chinese delegation to the negotiations was naturally Gu Weijun, a veteran Chinese diplomat and minister of foreign affairs, and when Gu Weijun got off the GA-8 plane, he had already seen Chinese and Cuban diplomats in Baghdad who had come to meet him, as well as representatives of other countries.

As usual, China's GA-8 passenger plane surprised the delegates of various countries a little as usual, because the Baghdad negotiations are the largest and most influential negotiations in the history of the world, so the delegates of various countries basically represent their own strength, and the special planes they take are also the most representative aircraft of various countries.

For example, the GA-8 special plane of the Chinese delegation, which has a maximum take-off weight of 60 tons, is an improved design of the B16 bomber, which is enough to fully reflect China's aviation strength.

The Americans are DC-4 transport aircraft, the Americans did not take out their famous B29 bomber as a special aircraft, but chose the US Air Force a large number of DC-4 transport aircraft, this maximum take-off weight of more than 30 tons of transport aircraft although it looks inconspicuous, but the ultra-long range and excellent low accident rate are still enough to represent the outstanding aviation industry in the United States.

The German delegation's ME323 transport aircraft, the original German transport aircraft with the most representative surname is the JU-52 series, but the range of that aircraft is too short, and it is only a double-engine medium-sized transport aircraft, which is really not suitable for use in the Baghdad negotiations, so the German delegation specially selected a modified ME323 transport aircraft, which is also a relatively successful heavy transport aircraft developed and put into service in Germany in the late World War II. The maximum take-off weight reached more than 40 tons, but the range was as short as that of other German aircraft.

The British delegation's York transport aircraft, during World War II, Britain and the United States reached a series of cooperation agreements, according to which Britain can be said to have completely abandoned the development and production of transport aircraft, all provided by the United States, but there are exceptions, Britain modified and designed a transport aircraft according to the Lancaster strategic bomber, which is the York transport aircraft, and used this transport aircraft as a special plane for important personnel. This is also a four-engine heavy transport aircraft.

The Soviet Russian delegation is riding a PE-8 heavy bomber, well, this is not a transport aircraft, but a four-engine heavy bomber developed and produced by Soviet Russia in World War II, whether it is from the surname or from the production point of view, it is an extremely failed strategic bomber, but even so, it only has a few strategic bombers that can be used in Soviet Russia, because of the scarcity of numbers, it is rarely used for real strategic bombing, mainly used as a special aircraft for key personnel, and has repeatedly carried Soviet and Russian dignitaries to visit Britain, the United States and China. Its maximum take-off weight is also about 30 tons, and its maximum range can reach more than 4,000 kilometers.

The above is the aircraft of the delegations of the four major countries participating in the negotiations, from which you can probably see the aviation strength of each country, China's GA-8 represents China's outstanding strategic bomber research and development and production capacity, and DC-4 is a reflection of the mature and developed aviation system of the United States, and the German ME323 is a reflection of the Germans' passion for new weapons and technology, but it cannot hide the problem that the German aviation industry has too low production. This ME323 is only a few hundred units in total, and the Soviet Russia's PE-8 is a very obvious reflection of the shortcomings of the Soviet Union and Russia in large strategic bombers \ transport aircraft, and it has indisputably won the crown of the bottom aviation capability among the four countries.

As for several second- and third-rate countries that are also involved in the negotiations, they are basically here to observe, such as Canada and Australia on the allied side, and Thailand and Turkey on the coalition side, most of them are on transport planes of other countries, for example, the special planes taken by the representatives of Thailand and Turkey are all GA-7 passenger planes developed and produced by China, while Canada and Australia are taken by American DC-3 passenger planes.

Just from the special planes of these delegations at the Baghdad Air Force airfield, it is basically possible to judge the strength of each country.

After the delegations arrived one after another, everyone did not waste time, and the next day was the preliminary negotiations, and the atmosphere in the negotiation hall did not have the atmosphere of life and death like a world war, but seemed very relaxed at first, and these diplomats were all full of nonsense, and they did not get to the point for a long time.

However, in this big negotiation on the fortunes of the country, the delegates of various countries did not dare to mess around, and would rather be full of nonsense than promise anything, so the negotiations were slowly carried out in a slow and friendly atmosphere.
