Chapter 982: The Fuse
"Talk! Of course we have to talk! Meng Xiang smiled directly at Yan Xishan's request, "We still have to talk about it." Salute first, then soldier! ”
Meng Xiang bit the word "etiquette" very hard, and Lao Yan's head naturally understood it.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Huaxia and the Americans to make a fuss over the issue of negotiations with Japan.
Huaxia's attitude is very resolute, and Japan, which invaded China and caused great harm to the Chinese people, will resolutely counterattack to the end unless it surrenders unconditionally.
The conditions behind Huaxia's unconditional surrender are not the superficial "unconditional" in the previous life, first of all, the trial of war criminals involved Hirohito and other imperial families. Perhaps Hirohito played ventriloquist and could shirk the responsibility for the war against Britain and the United States, but it did not work for Shangxiaxia.
From the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War to the present, there has not been a clean situation in the whole of Japan.
Even if there are pro-China factions, most of them are political speculators with ulterior motives.
Of course, it is not denied that there are good people, there are always differences in a nation, China and Japan are separated by a strip of water, some are related to China, and some are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and their attitudes towards China are still a little different. But under the collective madness of Japan's plundering from China, there are too few people who can maintain a conscience and persistence.
Although Meng Xiang regretted that these people had also become victims of the national and national wars, he was unrelenting in his actions. Not to mention that it is difficult to distinguish the people involved, it is the bane of the future.
I'm going to wipe out the whole of Japan, and I still expect these people to be grateful to Dade?
Wars, especially wars between nations and nations, and between nations and nations, never give the green light to a very small number of people.
Although on the surface, the conditions for Huaxia's demand for Japan's unconditional surrender did not involve the guilt of civilians, but the trial of Japan's top leaders and backbones was enough to make those who controlled Japan's power unable to speak, and besides, the astronomical war reparations demanded by Huaxia against Japan would definitely make the Japanese not complete for eight lifetimes.
Although there is still a tradition of "no money to take Xi'er". But the Japanese were so depressed that even if they scraped the ground for the whole of Japan and sent all the Japanese women out to do the kind of work that they did before the First Sino-Japanese War for the rest of their lives, they would still not be able to pay it off. Even the wealth looted by Japan is not enough.
Not to mention the cession of land in Hokkaido and Kyushu. The return of the Ryukyu Islands and the stationing of troops on the Japanese main islands will never agree to the payment of reparations and the punishment of war criminals.
The Americans will not agree to these conditions of the Chinese people, not to mention that they want to keep Japan to balance China and that China will grow stronger after absorbing so much nutrition from Japan, but that China will roll the land in Japan and cut the cake on the Americans' plate. Americans are anxious.
After fighting for so long, not to mention the war dividends, even the cost will not be recovered. Fiscal deficits are one thing, and it is the fundamental thing that shakes the upper echelons by making many capital predators extremely unhappy.
For the sake of huge profits, the capital predators who are not afraid of the gallows also do not hesitate to launch a war that drags the whole world into hell, not to mention that in the eyes of the vast majority of Europeans and Americans, the destructive power of China is greater than that of the Germans. Even the Russians came weaker. What's the point of fighting?
From the very beginning, the Americans did not regard the war with China as too serious. Naturally, there is no intention of negotiating in good faith.
And China also needs a challenge to the United States to establish itself as the hegemon of Asia.
War is inevitable, and what is missing is only a fuse.
Meng Xiang buried this fuse in Japan.
Although Meng Xiang knew that the biggest loot that Huaxia could grab was Europe, even Meng Xiang could not predict in advance what kind of difficulties the Huaxia army on an expedition to Europe would encounter.
Even with the support of the bases, even with the German allies, the difficulties of fighting across continents would affect the outcome of the war. Fighting in an unfamiliar environment, there are too many unexpected factors. On the contrary, it is not as sure as the decisive battle of Japan at home. Even the Philippines, which had planted a lot of mines for the Americans, was more conducive to the Chinese war
The Americans do not have a golden finger and cross the Pacific Ocean to fight. Even if it is tied to the Japanese, even if the base is not an accident, it is difficult to pose much threat to China.
Therefore, Meng Xiang put the main battlefield in the early stage of the war between China and the United States to Japan.
Europe, the Chinese army will go. But even if there were Chinese troops entering Europe, for a long time. It will also be dominated by unwilling Germans.
Meng Xiang is also happy to continue to let the Germans who maintain their pride and honor take the lead.
Huaxia's supporting role in Europe in the early days was also conducive to Huaxia's international dealings.
China is not as developed as Germany, and it still needs to introduce various technologies and talents from the outside world, but in the end, it will catch the German chariot, which means that the number of enemies will increase and the number of friends will decrease.
These friends and enemies are not just a kind of recognition, but a combination of various interests behind them.
There is only one market, and Huaxia cannot get around.
It is impossible for China to close itself off and rely only on its own resources and market development.
In this way, the role played by China cannot be like Germany, which directly shows its ambition to single-handedly challenge the whole world. When the majority of public opinion is controlled by Westerners, standing up for reason has always become an excellent front for finding friends who can put aside their hostility in all kinds of complex international relations.
To enter Europe, one needs a valid reason. We cannot directly enter the country recklessly under the banner of Germany's allies, and we cannot let the storm of public opinion of the Yellow Peril ignite prematurely.
Of course, it doesn't matter if the Yellow Peril is a given fact when it sweeps across the planet.
And now, Meng Xiang needs to make a grievance and wait for the Americans to light the fuse of Japan, and then trigger China's next step-by-step global strategy.
It is a common international practice to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and when Huaxia retaliates against Japan, others will not be able to intervene at all, while the Americans will intervene as victims, so they will naturally have to cause friction with Huaxia.
Huaxia also seems to be fair in the division of the spoils of war between the two sides. The original Philippines and the Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Caroline Islands, and other territories attacked by the Americans were not touched by the Chinese in the slightest, and this was completely in line with international practice.
Even if the Americans picked up the bargain, Huaxia did not ask about the occupied areas of the Japanese mainland and other islands, but only grabbed the braid of punishing war criminals and war reparations.
Ever since the Americans landed on the Japanese mainland on 10 November, negotiations between China and the United States have been ongoing.
From Nagoya in Japan, to Naha in the Ryukyu Islands, which had just been recovered by China, to Manila in the Philippines, where the Japanese retreated rapidly and the Americans recovered without firing a single shot, and even Washington in the United States and the central capital of China, the location of negotiations has been constantly changing.
Meng Xiang also mobilized various public opinion media resources controlled by the shadow company and other forces, from newspapers and magazines to radio and television, all of which closely followed the negotiations between the two sides in real time, striving to let the whole world understand the position of China and the United States, and understand that all accidents that occur in the future are forced by the Americans.
The Huaxia delegation led by Lao Yan and Zong Li, two masters, was polite and courteous with one move, and one move was Tai Chi pusher, blocking the embarrassed departure of the Americans who came with great momentum every time.
"If the Japanese had committed a crime like the Nanjing Massacre in Washington, what kind of measures would you have taken? Do we want to spare the warmongers who provoked the war and the murderers who slaughtered innocent civilians as we do now? The personable Zong Li spoke and behaved generously and decently, which made people feel good, but the words he said blocked the United States and only rolled its eyelids.
"Is this possible? The matter of the Hawaii Overseas Autonomous Territory is just a special case, if we really want the Japanese monkey army to stand on the streets of Washington, even if they only create the misfortune of only one thousandth of the scale of the Nanjing Massacre, our army will definitely make all the Japanese monkeys regret living on the earth! "Extremely confident Americans can only talk about it in their hearts, but they can't put it into debate.
If the Americans can do it, why can't the Chinese do it?
"I believe that if such a misfortune had happened, the American people would never have agreed to these compromise terms!" Zong Li continued to say with a righteous attitude, "And in the same way, all the people of Huaxia will never agree!" ”
Once again, the Americans could only be silenced and returned in embarrassment.
From the day the negotiations began, both sides were constantly deploying troops to accumulate strength on the Japanese island and waiting for the moment when the fuse of war was ignited.
The Americans even hoped that the war would be fought a little later, so that more troops could be transported to the Japanese mainland to resist the superiority of Chinese forces on the Japanese mainland.
Meng Xiang can put the Americans into the Japanese mainland, and he is also confident that the Chinese army will have more advantages in fighting on land, but there is a degree to everything. In addition to dealing with the troubles of the US-Japanese coalition, it is also two concepts to hurt the Americans and make the Americans crazy.
When the American army, with the cooperation of the Japanese, put 150,000 troops on the Japanese mainland in a short period of time and began to enter the frontline areas such as Hamamatsu and Sendai, Meng Xiang also issued his own new order:
"Light the fuse!" (To be continued)
