"The wisest thing for Japan to do now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and no matter what the outcome of the dispute between the two countries is, there will be no harm to us, and there will even be great benefits." When Chongren said this, he changed his words, "What's more, if there is really an unexpected opportunity, the empire will naturally not miss it, and the peace agreement, to put it bluntly, is just a piece of paper." ”

Hu Weidong and the leaders of the Red Party did not fail to understand this truth, but it is not the same as whether the agreement is signed or not, as long as China does not have major problems on its own, peace between the two countries should be maintained, not to mention that what China needs is only three to five years of peace, and when the post-war reconstruction and initial industrialization are completed, China's national strength and military strength will definitely be able to rise to a greater level than now, and if the little devil really dares to tear up the agreement, it is just asking for his own death.

Therefore, in the end, the two sides formally signed an armistice agreement on October 25, 1939, in which the Japanese side admitted its major mistake in launching the war of aggression against China, and solemnly repented and daoqian to the Chinese government and people, and at the same time the Japanese government will compensate China with a total of 8 billion US dollars, which will be paid off in 50 years, but the proportion of hard currency is not large, and the down payment is only 200 million US dollars, and the rest are repaid by various alternative methods stipulated in the "Japanese War Reparations Solution for China" formulated by Hu Weidong. Otherwise, the Japanese government will absolutely not be able to afford it with its financial resources.

More importantly, the return of Taiwan, a treasure island that had been surrounded by the motherland for nearly half a century, is not only of great political significance, but also of great economic significance. Although Japan took away the local technicians who had previously worked in Taiwan and those Taiwanese with Japanese blood and a heart for Japan (such as the Lee Teng-hui brothers), which greatly affected Taiwan's industry, Taiwan's industrial production was still rapidly restored thanks to the efforts of Hu Weidong's carefully selected reception team, and China's overall industrial strength was significantly enhanced.

As for Taiwan's millions of educated people, Hu Weidong had to make full use of them to speed up the process of popularizing education in China, and also guard against the fact that many of them were deeply affected by Japan's enslavement education and had a negative impact on the students he taught. Cash outlays add up to less than $100 million. Of course, those implicit inputs are a different matter. ), which has a significant dilution effect. In addition, at this time, the people of the whole country were rejoicing at the great victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and China's national strength was also thriving. Therefore, the "Hari people" that Hu Weidong was worried about never became a climate.

In order to avoid the unfavorable situation of a three-front operation. Hu Weidong had to make certain concessions on the issue of war criminals, whose importance was second only to the Taiwan issue. First of all, several original war criminals belonging to the naval system were removed from the list, but after all, the number of war criminals in the army system is much larger, so this can be regarded as grasping the main contradiction; Then there is the need to save Japan's face. Except for the dozens of brutes who committed serious crimes against humanity and sent them to China for public trial, the rest of the guys only asked them to die, and as for whether they committed suicide to apologize or were executed by the Japanese government or "punished" by the Japanese government, the Chinese side does not care so much, and the Chinese side will no longer pursue those who have died before. As a result, those war criminals were basically ordered by Chongren to apologize for their crimes (the explanation when facing the Chinese representatives was to apologize to the Chinese people, while in Japan it was propaganda that they apologized for the defeat of the war), although they were exempted from the humiliation of the public trial, but the pain before death was greater than the shooting, but I don't know how many times, it can be regarded as deserved, right?

In addition, the Korean issue also deserves special explanation, because he was dissatisfied with Japan's pressure on itself in the negotiations by taking advantage of the opportunity of China to create another strong enemy, Hu Weidong incidentally overshadowed Japan on the issue of demarcating the Korean border, and only stated in the peace agreement that "the land south of the Yalu and Tumen rivers and north of the 39th parallel is owned by the Korean People's Republic, and neither Chinese nor Japanese troops are allowed to stay, otherwise this agreement will automatically become invalid." This also meant that the Japanese army could not attack Korea, while the Korean army was not restricted from moving south. However, the Japanese side is very contemptuous of the Korean army, believing that as long as the Chinese army does not participate in the war, the Korean army alone will not be able to turn up any storms, not to mention that the agreement only says that "it cannot be stationed," that is, the ground troops cannot enter, and the use of aviation units to retaliate is not included, so the Japanese side does not think that the DPRK has the courage to launch an attack on the Japanese-occupied area in the south, and even if it does, it is just an opportunity for the Japanese troops stationed in the DPRK to train their troops

In addition to being anxious to get rid of the huge economic burden of the war, another important purpose of the Japanese government was to hope that China would release the many Japanese officers and soldiers who had taken prisoner (Note 1). Historically, the Japanese authorities have a contemptuous and even hostile attitude towards their own prisoners of war, except for elites such as pilots, the Japanese authorities rarely think of rescuing or redeeming them, but Chongren's attitude towards prisoners of war is not the same as that of previous emperors, he believes that the low proportion of Japanese prisoners is very rare in Shijie history, which shows that they have done their best on the battlefield, and the responsibility for defeat does not lie with the ordinary officers and soldiers at the bottom, but with the wrong decisions of the upper level and the ineffective command of the battlefield. Therefore, it is strongly advocated that these prisoners of war should be returned.

However, the deeper reason is that Japan's losses in the war of aggression against China were too great, and the number of people killed in the war alone was more than 2 million, and not only were the veterans of the army almost completely lost, but even industrial and agricultural production encountered great difficulties because of the lack of young and strong labor. Therefore, the total number of Japanese prisoners of war in China with a total number of more than 1.3 million has become invaluable, and if they can return to China, it will be of great help to the recovery of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese ground forces and the recovery of the Japanese economy.

Note 1: The Japanese civilians stranded in China during the war did not need to negotiate and were supposed to be repatriated, but most of them were detained by Hu Weidong, because Japan could not confirm whether those people were still alive, so there was no way to take Hu Weidong's Laipi, just like China treated the cultural relics that were looted by the devils, I don't know if it was "out of the mix, always have to be returned."
