Chapter 1479: Eight Articles of Peace Talk with Japan! (3)
"My grandma Xipi, Lu Shan is simply lawless and sluggish. Where is he going to do this?" Old Jiang was extremely angry and knocked the Huanghuali Rice's desk with the civilized stick in his hand, without feeling any distress.
"Chairman, please calm down. The Northeast has always been a natural line. If you don't listen to zy, there is Zhang Hanqing in front and Lu Shan in the back. These people are ambitious and unruly..." Deng Wenyi, director of the attendant's room, bent down and picked up the telegrams scattered on the ground one by one.
"Hmph!" Old Jiang snorted coldly. How could he not know that all the warlords in these places were not convinced by themselves and wanted to oust themselves so that they could come up, but do they have the ability?
"Chairman, since things have happened, we are still thinking about how to deal with them, right?"
"Faced with this, this has fulfilled Luo Wengan's thoughts. I'm too lazy to care about diplomatic matters, let them deal with them!" Old Jiang said angrily. In the government, his status is not the highest, but he has the military power, and it is impossible to bypass it in any matter.
"Yes, yes!" Lao Jiang was angry and might not hear his words. He would wait until his anger fades before he said it.
"Wait, invite Mr. Bu Lei to me!" Old Jiang called Deng Wenyi, who was about to leave, and ordered.
"OK!"
Chen Bulei was not very slow. Almost when Lao Jiang calmed down, he appeared in Lao Jiang's office.
"Mr. Bu Lei is here, please sit down!" Old Jiang stood up and greeted, "Come here, serve tea!"
"Thank you, Chairman!"
"Mr. Bu Lei, have you heard of the eight peace talks with Japan?" Old Jiang also sat down.
"I heard that. I've heard this topic all the time. I guess this 'On the Sun' wind will soon blew in Nanjing." Chen Bulei nodded and said.
"What does Mr. Bu Lei think of this pair of Japanese Batou?" asked Lao Jiang.
"It seems to be out of reality and delusion, but it contains profound meaning!" Chen Bulei smiled slightly.
"How to say it?"
"Donggong has always been known for his tough attitude towards Japan, so they will never compromise on the issue of Japan, otherwise they will lose their foundation. The same is true for the eight peace talks proposed this time. Perhaps it was because of the several consecutive victories that gave them great confidence that they had such bold words, but their spirit is also admirable!" Chen Bulei said.
"But where did they do this? Once their eight points are released, will the government's foreign policy be passive?" said Lao Jiang.
"There will be some passiveness, but the Dong Kang did not issue these eight articles on behalf of the government, which shows that this is their attitude. They are expressing their attitude to the outside world. If we pay too much attention, it means that we have no power of autonomy and are completely led by the place!" Chen Bulei said.
"Mr. Bu Lei means, we don't have to worry about him?"
"No matter of course, that doesn't work. First of all, the national public opinion will not be let go. How to control it is a big question!"
"Please give me some advice?"
"Chief, please be polite, Bu Lei has some simple insights!"
"Mr. Bu Lei, please say!"
"Although the Eight Articles of Japan are only targeted at Japan, it is actually a strong signal for the great powers. The interests of Japan and Western countries in China are included in it. The first article of the East Anti-Japanese said something we dare not say publicly. If we abolish all unequal treaties with Japan and confiscate Japan's interests in China, then we will have the ability to abolish all unequal treaties with Western countries. This potential goal is not only Japan, but also Western countries!
So, just this first point, Western countries will join forces with Japan to boycott it. Of course, for now, we are not able to do this, but Japan will definitely use this point to pull Western countries on their ships.
Therefore, these eight articles of the East Anti-Japanese War are not only for Japan, but also for all Western countries that have signed unequal treaties with China!”
"Mr. Bu Lei said it well, and I have seen this too. It's tantamount to confronting Western countries!" said Lao Jiang.
"Chairman, in fact, the Japanese have always been building momentum. They want to negotiate with us, not with them. Even if we want to, we cannot show it too much!" Chen Bulei continued, "Why do the Japanese take the initiative to show weakness? In fact, they have their difficulties, but the fundamental purpose is to force us to bow our heads and sign a peace treaty that is beneficial to them!"
"Yes!" Lao Jiang nodded.
"The Japanese have been venturing for so long, but there are no substantive terms for peace talks. If what I expected is not bad, they are actually waiting for our reaction!" Chen Bulei said, "Once we have an intention to negotiate, or can we negotiate with a positive response, then they will immediately throw out a terms for peace talks!"
"And this condition is definitely something we cannot accept!"
"I also thought of this, so I am considering the limits of conditions that we can accept and maintain the dignity of the country as much as possible!" Lao Jiang said.
"But we are not ready for any peace talks now, are we?"
Chiang was silent. The government did not have a unified opinion on peace talks. He was inclined to have peace talks, but it was not until he came forward to speak out.
"If we agree to the peace talks, it will be beneficial to Japan, because this is exactly what they need. We do not respond. The longer we delay, the heavier the pressure we will bear. Domestic and international are also beneficial to Japan, because in this way, the more Western countries will stand on which side of Japan, and in turn accuse us of not being in peace!"
"In a hurry, we can't come up with a principle framework for peace talks, so in peace talks, the Japanese can only lead the way. If such a peace agreement is signed, it may be a criticized treason agreement!"
"Not bad!" Lao Jiang nodded.
"But now with these eight peace talks against Japan, it's different. Although these eight are too high and there is suspicion of being interfering with the Japanese, it can be completely a bargaining chip for us to negotiate with the Japanese. We can recognize these eight, either not recognize them, increase or decrease. This means that we have already made a move. You see how the Japanese take it, and we can jump out and watch the development of things!" Chen Bulei analyzed.
"Mr. Bu Lei is right!"
"Those people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are experts in Tai Chi. I think it is not difficult to deal with domestic and foreign public opinion. Our strategy is: use calmness to control it!"
"What a calm person who is speaking well. He listened to Mr. Bu Lei's words and made Zhongzheng suddenly enlightened!" Old Jiang said happily.
"Chief, please be polite. Bu Lei is just making a little effort!" Chen Bu Lei said modestly.
"Mr. Bu Lei is too modest. If you don't drink tea, the tea will be cold!" Old Jiang laughed and hurriedly greeted.
"Thank you!" Chen Bulei went to the teacup and lowered his head and said thank you.
"Murai Jun. What do you think of this 'Bao'?" Hirota Hirota asked Aosuke Murai sitting in front of him.
"Your Excellency Hirota, in my humble opinion, this should not be what Nanjing means!" Murai Aosuke thought for a while.
"How to say it?"
"Although Nanjing also has intentions in this regard, they are old politicians, and they will not easily express their true thoughts, and there is no news in advance, which is not consistent with common sense!" Murai Aomatsu said.
"Maybe it was instructed by Nanjing?" Hirota Hirota said.
"The subordinates think it is unlikely. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to mention these eight items at this time. Although they have been calling for decades, they have never been able to put these conditions on the negotiating table, or in other words, no one can succeed!" Murai Aomatsu said.
"Do you think this is a personal act of the Chinese army's east resistance?"
"Hai, what do my subordinates think!" Murai Aomatsu said, "From the usual tough style of the Chinese army's East Anti-Japanese War, this is indeed their work. Although their demands are unrealistic, they are the most real!"
"Well, Murai Jun is still very knowledgeable about the Chinese army's east resistance!"
"His Excellency Hirota has been awarded!"
"But these eight points they proposed have caused great trouble to our plan, and Nanjing's response will be very important!" Hirota Hirota said.
"Yes, Lord Hirota!"
"I wonder how Shigekami Jun responded to this crisis?" Hirota Hirota muttered to himself.
At this moment, the Executive Yuan of Nanjing Government.
In Wang Zhaoming's office, Japanese ambassador to China Shigemitsu, but the soldiers stopped him and forced himself in. Facing the second person in Nanjing's government, Shigemitsu had no respect. He asked angrily: "Mr. Wang, I am very disappointed with your country's unfriendly behavior. In order to maintain peace in East Asia, the Great Japanese Empire did not hesitate to damage his dignity and expressed his sincerity to peace to your country. But this is how you treat the Great Japanese Empire?"
"Sir, please calm down, come and make tea!" Wang Zhaoming hurriedly stood up and said.
"Mr. Wang, if you don't give me an explanation today and give the Japanese Empire an explanation, I will not leave!" Chongguangkui sat on the sofa in front of Wang Zhaoming and said coldly.
"What kind of explanation does the Minister want?" Wang Zhaoming was also angry. His identity was at least equal to that of the Prime Minister of the Japanese Cabinet. It would be fine if a small minister openly broke into his office, but he was so arrogant and asked him to explain. Isn't this too bullying?
"I ordered Dong Kang to take back the eight items immediately, and declared that all of them were Dong Kang's private actions, and sincerely apologized to the Great Japanese Empire, and promised that such incidents would not happen in the future!" said Shigekami.
Wang Zhaoming's face suddenly turned dark. What is this? Even if Dong Kang privately issued the "Eight Articles" to the outside world, which one is not the reasonable demand of a dignified country? These are actually denounced as rude behaviors and have to apologize. What is the reason for this?
"Mr. Minister, I don't have any control over the military affairs. If you want to find someone to apologize, please go to Mr. Jiang!" Wang Zhaoming said coldly.
"Mr. Wang is the President of the Executive Yuan. Doesn't he even have this power?" Chongkui sneered.
"Mr. Minister, I am in charge of administration. All matters involving military diplomacy belong to the Military Commission, which is not within my jurisdiction!" Wang Zhaoming said, "If there is nothing else, Mr. Minister can leave!"
"Mr. Wang, are you giving me an order to expel guests?"
"This is the office building of the Zumg Capital Executive Yuan, not the Japanese Embassy in China. Please leave immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for asking the guard to invite you out!" Wang Zhaoming said coldly.
"Wang Zhaoming, you are very good!" Chongguangkui knew that her purpose was difficult to achieve, so she stood up and gritted her teeth.
"Not giving!"
Chong Guangkui came in a fierce momentum and left in shame!
Wang Zhaoming is not stupid. Of course, he knew the purpose of Chongguangkui. He wanted to make a statement and deny Dong Kang's "Eight Points against Japan". This is a matter of public anger. Once he really issued this statement, he should become infamous!
Wang Zhaoming, who cherishes his feathers, is unwilling to do such a stupid thing!
Although he was scared by the aggressive Chongguangkui just now, he still recovered from Qingming Festival in an instant and did not surrender.
The news of Chongkami's defeat in the Executive Yuan soon spread in Nanjing, and soon the news reached Shanghai again.
Chong Guangkura lost all face and did not participate in any public activities for several days since then.
Although Shigekkimiya didn't get what he wanted, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State Government issued an vague statement.
The statement only accuses the Donggong side of the Communist Party of China of not publishing such news related to the national foreign policy alone. This is an act of overreach of authority and warns it, but it does not mention the content of the "Eight Articles" at all!
Neither admit it nor deny it. Once you make a criticism, there will be no following, which makes the Japanese side very angry!
Western countries are also confused. What's going on?
"The Chinese people have seen through our intentions. Now they are free to advance and retreat, and we must take the initiative to attack!" Hirota Hirota sighed. The game of chess was played well. Who knew that a disruptor came out on the way and disrupted the entire chess game!
"His Excellency Hirota, are we going to formally contact Nanjing?" Murai Aosuke asked.
"Well, Shigeki-kun, let him prepare a formal document. The Great Japanese Empire will formally sign a peace agreement on China and actively request to start negotiations on issues related to Manchuria and North China!" Hirota Hirota ordered!
"yes!"
"Appoint it, I'll go to see Shin-min in person tonight!" Hirota Hirota said.
"You went to see him in person, didn't he come to see you?"
"In the future economic strategy of the Great Japanese Empire for China, Shintoshi Fukago is a very critical pawn, and I must give enough respect!" Hirota Hirota said.
"Hayi!"
"You don't understand these things yet, you'll know them later!" Hirota Hirota said, "Tell Kondo to arrange for Major Takano to transfer to the reserve service and send him back to Japan!"
