Chapter 323: The Aftermath of the Quarrel

Compared to the U.S. military stationed in Japan who regarded it as a vacation spot after being stationed in Japan, and indulged in alcohol all day long. Since entering the Japanese mainland, the speed of anti-union operations, which have always been at the first level of combat readiness, has been much faster. The U.S. troops here mobilized their forces, and as soon as they surrounded the armored brigade station, the anti-Japanese alliance over there immediately wrapped dumplings with the U.S. troops in front of them.

Under this situation, the US military mobilized two Marine Corps divisions from Okinawa and rushed to Japan. It also stopped the process of recovering and returning to Japan and rearmed those veterans who had recovered but had not yet had time to return home. At the same time, an airborne division stationed in Okinawa was also prepared for combat at the first level. The entire US Army and Navy Aviation Unit stationed in Japan has also entered the first level of combat readiness. The U.S. Navy fleet in Tokyo Bay has taken off the muzzle protection.

The Americans dispatched troops, and Yang Zhen was not to be outdone. The Anti-Japanese Union also mobilized a large number of combat planes and stationed them at airports on Busan, Yeosu Peninsula, and Jeju Island in southern Korea. Three infantry divisions, one armored division and one armored brigade stationed in Korea and northeastern China, moved south from Gwangju and the Gyeongsegawa Peninsula. The 2nd Airborne Division stationed in Beiping was also stationed in Seoul by rail.

And at the Seoul airport, one hundred and forty transport planes were mobilized. As long as the ships of all sizes on the Korean Peninsula are powered, whether they are sailing ships or passenger and cargo ro-ro ships, they have been transferred to Baocheng Bay to be on standby. The entire southern part of Korea and the Japanese mainland were under the clouds of war in a short period of time, and the two sides were very much in a posture of fighting each other.

Watching the Anti-Japanese Federation and the U.S. military on their own territory, they put on a posture of fighting a big fight. In the past, there was a big fight with Tsarist Russia in northeast China, and today's tragedy for the Chinese is about to be repeated in their own hearts by the Japanese, who are quite unpleasant at the same time. I also hope that the two sides can really fight and create an opportunity for Japan to make a comeback.

It's just that what the Japanese didn't want was that although the two sides were ostense on the surface, a big war was almost imminent. But the Americans, who had just finished a world war, did not want to get involved in a new war in a short period of time. And under the domestic situation, the Anti-Japanese Union is also unable to deal with a new world war, let alone an opponent like the United States. The two sides were full of posture, but most of the time it was still a war of words, and the hot war was still not able to start in the end.

After learning the news that the strength of the Anti-Japanese Federation stationed in Japan and the artillery of the US Army stationed in Japan were combined. He immediately put aside the KMT-CCP negotiations and was entrusted by the chairman to immediately rush from China to the DPRK under the coordination of the vice chairman and the former US Secretary of the Army, who was the mediator between the KMT and the CCP. After a month of verbal war, the two sides finally shook hands and made peace.

Yang Zhen eventually gave up his request for the future demolition of the steelmaking part of the Yawata Iron and Steel Plant, as well as other subsequent demolition requests for the factory that had not yet had time to be dismantled. In exchange, the United States did not pursue the action, and the Anti-Japanese Union demolished other Japanese industries, and released all materials and machinery and equipment seized by its navy.

At the same time, at Yang Zhen's request, in the post-war bilateral trade, no matter what the future political situation in China will be, economic exchanges and economic and trade exchanges between the two sides must not be subject to any restrictions. Within the scope of its base areas, the CCP grants the United States most-favored-nation status for trade, while the United States grants most-favored-nation status to China. This trade agreement does not involve a change in China's political situation.

The two sides will negotiate at a different location for the equipment and equipment to be aided by the Lend-Lease Act implemented by the United States in wartime, as well as the repayment method for a large amount of military raw materials. However, on the issue of the remaining ships of the Japanese Navy, the Americans did not budge an inch. The Americans insisted that the Anti-Union must return all the Japanese submarines that it had taken away, as well as the warships above the destroyer.

These ships were handed over to the Allied High Command, and the destroyer level was uniformly allocated by lot. Destroyers and above, including submarines, were dismantled for scrap metal for post-war reconstruction. And all the Japanese naval engineering and technical personnel who were taken away, all the design drawings of all warships, and the stock equipment were returned to the United Nations and the Allied High Command for destruction.

However, Yang Zhen resolutely refused to agree to the US military's request. He insisted that in order to avoid the danger of Japan's rearmament, the ships must be handed over to the Anti-Japanese Union. As for the drawings and equipment, there is nothing left under the bombing of the US military, and the Anti-Japanese Union has not obtained these drawings and equipment.

As the vanguard of the invasion of China, the Japanese Navy should bear the primary responsibility for the suffering suffered by China since the First Sino-Japanese War. These naval engineers and technicians should use their knowledge to serve China's reconstruction in order to atone for the Japanese Navy's history of aggression against China over the years.

This war of words broke out over the issue of the remaining ships of the Japanese Navy. Together with the Americans' demand for settlement and reimbursement of the Anti-Japanese Union, the issue of aid equipment and materiel during the war and the funds needed for the equipment. A month after Japan's surrender, the civil war broke out.

From the outbreak of the full-scale civil war to the founding of the People's Republic of China after the end of the civil war, there was no clue. Eventually, after two major fights during the Chinese Civil War, both sides suffered heavy losses. In the end, the solution to the problem was that the problem of the remaining ships of the Japanese Navy could not be solved, and the US military did not even ask for a torpedo boat or a torpedo to return.

Those Japanese naval engineers and technicians were only half released after a full decade of service for the Chinese. The best of the remaining Japanese naval engineers and technicians were all left in China in the name of becoming Chinese citizens.

As for the settlement of the amount of aid, there was a quarrel from Japan's surrender in four or five years to the seventies, and there was no result. Negotiations on this matter have been held in Japan every year for four or five years. The account books in the hands of the Americans were taken out every year and brought back as they were.

Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the central government held several meetings to ease tensions with the United States and was ready to repay part of the arrears. However, Yang Zhen, who is already a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, a member of the Central Military Commission, vice minister of national defense, and director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, also insisted on not paying back a penny.

What Yang Zhen means is that according to the way the Americans settle accounts, the Chinese side cannot accept it in its entirety. Yang Zhen insisted that at least half of the more than three billion dollars should be found by the Nationalist Government of the year, and they were the Chinese government of the year. The supplies aided by the Americans are for all Chinese, not for the Anti-Japanese Federation alone.

Because the Anti-Japanese Union used this batch of equipment, it was fighting against the entire Japanese army invading China, or even the entire Japanese army, not just fighting against the Kwantung Army. And the representative of China at that time was the Nationalist Government, which is something that you Americans, and even the whole world, recognize. This account is all counted on the head of the Anti-Union, and he can't accept it as the commander of the Anti-League.

If you want to be okay, let the national government of that year return it first. It is true that the Nationalist Government has gone into exile now, but aren't all the high-ranking figures of those years still there? Can you Americans deduct the funds they have deposited in your personal account in your U.S. bank?

As for the remaining half, at least two-thirds should be credited to the Soviets. After all, in the accounts of the Americans, the aid to the Anti-Japanese Union was included in the share of aid to the Soviet Union. In that case, then you should go to the Soviets if you want to pay the account. According to Yang Zhen's calculations, the Anti-Japanese Federation and later the government of the People's Republic of China only owed the Americans a total of 15 million dollars.

Yang Zhen's calculation method almost didn't make the Americans vomit blood. Is there such a reckoning with you? In order to take care of you, and considering the entire war situation, the United States specially included your quota in the Soviets' account. Moreover, the amount of materials and equipment that was provided to you back then far exceeded that of the national government.

Some of the weapons given to you, such as the M 4 medium tank, the B 17 bomber, etc., have not even been given to the Nationalist Government. Now it's good, you let us settle accounts with the Soviets and the Nationalist Government. Let's not talk about whether the Soviets will admit this account, and now that the Nationalist Government has collapsed, where can I go to find someone to return?

It is true that the representative of China was the Nationalist Government in the past, but now the Chinese government is called the Government of the People's Republic of China. According to the legal procedures, since you, the Government of the People's Republic of China, have inherited the seat of the Nationalist Government in the United Nations and the rights of the whole of China, then this account should naturally be repaid by the current Chinese Government. When you do this, you are clearly not paying your debts.

Not to mention the main funds, Yang Zhen didn't think about repaying them, it was the remaining amount when the Americans asked. Yang Zhen had an attitude, Britain, the Soviet Union, France, and those countries that received aid far more than the Anti-Union Union repaid, and the Chinese immediately repaid. Moreover, there is no room for further negotiation between China and the United States for other arrears.

If all other countries pay it back, the current Chinese government promises to repay the 15 million US dollars. But if other big debtors don't pay their bills, then Americans shouldn't be chasing China, which has received less aid and is poorer and more backward. Since Britain and the Soviet Union far surpassed China in national strength, they should set an example.

But for this matter, the attitude of the Soviets is that you Americans are aiding the Anti-Japanese Federation, what is the matter with me? You asked for it at the beginning, but we didn't ask for this share to be assigned to us. I didn't get any of those supplies and equipment to do my? As for the amount of aid they owe to the United States, the attitude of the Soviets is that the British and French will pay me back, and Lao Tzu is also resolute not to pay the bills.

And the attitude of the British is, I really want to pay it back, I don't want to pay it back. But now that my colonies have become independent, without the colonies, I really don't have the money to pay back now. If it's okay, you wait, when I have the money, I promise to pay it back. Besides, we are iron buddies now, you see that I am poor now, and I have to ask for food, and you are embarrassed to let me pay back the money.

The British did not pay it back, but the French hid if they could. Seeing this attitude of Britain and France, the Soviets also resolutely refused to return it. These big debts did not repay, and Yang Zhen naturally resolutely disagreed to pay them back. No matter how Americans collect debts, Yang Zhen means one. China is the poorest of these countries, and others owe their debts, so you are kind enough to force the Chinese to tighten their belts and pay back?

As a result, the British spent several decades repaying a total of $300 million by the end of the eighties, despite the constant collection of debts by the Americans. By the end of the seventies, the Soviets had finally paid back more than 10 million. And under Yang Zhen's insistence, the Chinese still did not pay a penny back in the end.

In any case, the little transaction collateral he had deposited in the U.S. bank had been turned into equipment and technology long before the end of the war, and he had returned to Northeast China. The newly established New China was poor, and naturally there were no deposits in the US banks. The Americans want to seize some assets to get their money back, and there is nowhere to seize them.

As for the most-favored-nation treatment for trade between the two sides, the agreement that Yang Zhen insisted on signing at the beginning now makes the Americans, who did not take it seriously at the beginning, regret that they almost dug up the then approved secretary of state from the cemetery and whipped the corpse 10,000 times. It's called a fucking economic agreement, and it's a monstrous hoax.
