~.-~   Chapter 579 Peace (Part 2)

(... Everyone says I am a war madman, but I want to say that I actually want to see peace the most because I see the most deaths; but weak people have to fight every battle, and weak countries have to fight every time they have to fight, and we have no choice... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

It was not dawn, but Wang Jingwei had already gotten up, and all his delegations had gotten up.

Because yesterday's Gao Zongwu's activities were effective, Japan had agreed to the request of Wang Jingwei to unify China as the premise of negotiations. The members of the Peace Mission were very excited and were already making final preparations for today's negotiations. What was even more encouraging was that even Cao Xiaomin, the most toughest warring faction in China, also sent a telegram saying that as long as the Japanese army did not take the initiative to attack, ** would not take the initiative to attack - ** would take the initiative to attack? You first attack the beachhead of Daya Bay, and it would be great if the Japanese did not take revenge and fight! Wang Jingwei and others were very confident that the negotiations would be held in peace.

"I think we cannot make any concessions in war compensation, otherwise we will be the same as the Qing government..." Mei Siping suggested: "But if the Japanese really do not give in, we can promise to compensate their expatriates..."

"I am worthy of being a legal specialist!" Wang Jingwei agreed with Mei Siping's proposal. When everyone saw that Wang Jingwei agreed, they agreed, and pretended not to hear Chen Bijun's words, "What should we do with the compensation for our Chinese people?"

"One principle of peace is that the Japanese retreat, but if I want all the Japanese to retreat at once, they will definitely refuse, and it is not practical..." Wang Jingwei said: "I plan to let them retreat in stages and batches, but this time and area are indeed difficult to grasp... How long do you think we can accept the Japanese stay for the longest time?"

This is a very difficult problem. After all, there may be any changes in the Japanese when they stay in China. No one can come up with their bottom line for this issue. So everyone's conclusion is to touch the Japanese's bottom during negotiations and see if the Japanese's meaning can be accepted by China.

Regarding the issue of Manchuria where the Japanese would never give in, Mei Siping also made a suggestion by the Legal Commissioner: He did not admit it by default! He would not admit it in writing or verbal recognition, but he would default to the current situation.

"Some problems cannot be solved now, so let them be solved by their descendants..." Wang Jingwei felt that there was no other feasible solution besides this.

Everyone was very serious and discussed the future Sino-Japanese relations, including jointly preventing the development and utilization of republic resources to the concession issue that has been hated by the Chinese people all the time. Perhaps because of the continuous encouragement the night before, everyone's ideas were also clear, and most issues could be brought out to the bottom line of negotiations. Before they knew it, it was dawn and the negotiations for the new day were about to begin.

"You are going out to attract storms!" Wang Jingwei was in a good mood and sighed to the sky that suddenly started to rain. He led a group of representatives to board the car with the celebrities from the provincial and Hong Kong who had been waiting in front of the door...

"Real peace depends on artillery!" Cao Xiaomin held a press conference at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall early in the morning. His words became the front page of almost all Guangzhou newspapers that day!

Last night, the Japanese army attacked Humen Fortress and was repelled by the ** and the airborne team was completely wiped out by the **. The news that the fleet was fighting with the Chinese Navy and Air Force at the Pearl River Estuary was spreading rapidly in Guangzhou like a storm. Countless citizens have begun to flock to the streets to marches spontaneously. On the one hand, the citizens were celebrating the defeat of the Japanese airborne operation, and on the other hand, they were protesting against the Japanese army's attack on China during the peace negotiations. During the time of the peace talks between Hong Kong and the Japanese, Wang Jingwei did not know that Guangzhou had started a large-scale anti-Japanese march!

"I really want to thank the British for their great help this time. Our reconnaissance plane brought back the final result..." As soon as I returned to the tiger's den, Cao Xiaomin was blocked by Zhou Zhirou, who was excited to report the result: "Our navy and air force attacked with all its strength, severely damaging the two main battleships of the Japanese army. Among them, the "Navonmen" sank in Fukunaga's waters, and the "Muo" was forced to strand the Dazhao Island (in the northwest of Shekou today, in real history, this island was occupied and the front-line airport was built before the Japanese landed on Daya Bay to bomb Guangzhou.)... I really didn't expect the British to help like this..."

Cao Xiaomin still looked calm because he had known the damage to the war earlier, which made him unable to laugh no matter how big the result of the battle: only five of the thirteen Stukas came back, and the entire ** formation has been left to participate in the battle; the bombers in the first and second formations are also around 20%, and the third formation, the main attack, has suffered more than half of the losses!

"Baifu! The British are insidious..." Cao Xiaomin whispered to Zhou Zhijuju: "The British have always wanted to bleed the Japanese fleet but they don't want to come forward. This time, they just saw that we had the opportunity but were not capable of taking the initiative to participate. They are the people who are most worried about the Japanese Navy. They just used a weak country like us who cannot produce more weapons to plot against the Japanese. In fact, they specially approved a batch of torpedo aircraft and other weapons to be loaned to us this time. If they exchanged these two battleships, they would be willing to pay ten times the price; but now these are still considered to be loaned to us..."

Zhou Zhirou was so emotional that Cao Xiaomin said, but in fact he was the one who felt most sorry for the loss of the Air Force this time.

"In fact, we have no choice but to stop the Japanese army from attacking Guangzhou along the Pearl River, I would not be willing to exchange aircraft for battleships..." Cao Xiaomin then whispered: "It is best to leave these Japanese warships for the British to chew on their own, unless it is like this battle, and it cannot be fought without fighting, otherwise we will try not to touch their warships..."

Zhou Zhirou returned to the Air Force Command Platform, and Cao Xiaomin returned to the command platform with a little loneliness. For some reason, his heart fell in his heart: a group of "very stupid and naive" from the Peace faction went to Hong Kong to pursue peace, and they were doomed to fail; but what about his own war faction? Although he may erase the debt in the future, so far, isn't he a war maniac who consumes a lot of life and increases debt to the people of the entire country? Is there any other achievements be made in addition to this?

After experiencing the "door god incident", Cao Xiaomin felt a crisis even more. People like Wang Jingwei, Li Zongren, and Yan Xishan are actually their own protective umbrellas! One death means one missing, and it will never increase again...

During the lunch break, Wang Jingwei and others already knew about the battle between the early morning and the morning in the Pearl River Estuary. Although they had not yet known the result, the authenticity of the battle had been confirmed.

The Japanese deceived themselves again! Wang Jingwei was very frustrated: How could it be that Cao Xiaomin took the initiative to attack at the estuary of the Pearl River? Cao Xiaomin, the killing star, had an excuse to make a big fight this time...

"Zhongming, you are ready to rush back to Guangzhou. I will write a letter to you for General Liehou. Please be sure to keep restrained..." Wang Jingwei frowned: "A man who dares to bomb even Tokyo, this time he was deceived by the Japanese, will definitely not give up..."

"They didn't lie to us. The Japanese only said they would not attack Daya Bay. Instead, we told Cao Liehou that the Japanese would not attack on the initiative..." Chen Bijun added: "Zhongming, you can explain what the Japanese said clearly to General Cao so as not to cause misunderstandings... Alas, Cao Liehou has not responded directly to us now. If even he misunderstood, we are completely on the side of the Japanese, then the mission of peace will be even more difficult..."

Wang Jingwei nodded: "Well, this is very necessary. The Japanese play word games to deceive us. If we are deceived, we have to bear this responsibility. But I believe that many people in Japan hope that China and Japan will have peace. But just like our country, there will definitely be fanatical warlords in Japan who will destroy this peace opportunity at all costs. We shoulder the mission of peace and must be able to endure humiliation until the mission is achieved."

"...The word sacrifice is harsh. We sacrifice ourselves, and we must sacrifice our compatriots across the country. Because we are weak countries and we are people of weak countries. What we call resistance has nothing else, and the content is just sacrifice. We must make everyone and every piece of land become ashes... Whether it is Tongdu Town or remote villages, people and the land must be ashes. After we sacrifice, our purpose of resistance has also achieved... Now the whole country is unanimously shouting the slogan of "complete resistance and sacrifice to the end". In fact, how many percent of people are really ready to sacrifice for the country? Most people shout sacrifices, but the concept of sacrifice in their hearts is to let others sacrifice, not sacrifice themselves. Why do most people refuse to say that they are unwilling to sacrifice for the country? Most people shout sacrifices, but their inner concept of sacrifice is to let others sacrifice, not sacrifice themselves. Why do most people refuse to say that they are unwilling to sacrifice.

Honestly, they are afraid of the charge of treason and the responsibility for the destruction of the country... Now is the War of Resistance, so the word "harmony" is something that ordinary people do not want to listen to, because the result of peace is naturally not as successful as the result of victory comes. Now, because people hate Japan's invasion, they want to destroy Japan as a whole, and then enjoy it. They are naturally uncomfortable when they hear peace... Although the people can sing high-profile, the government must grasp the reality. If they have to fight, they will fight, and if they can negotiate peace, they will be careful and care for the country at all times. It is a reasonable way to find a way out for the country..." (The above content is an excerpt of Wang Jingwei's speech on different occasions, compiled into letters to the protagonist, which can generally express Wang Jingwei's political views...)

Cao Xiaomin put down Wang Jingwei's handwritten letter and pondered at one of the passages, "War when you have to fight, when you can negotiate peace, when you can discuss peace, when you are careful, and find a way out for the country is the reasonable way." He sighed: "What does it mean to have to fight? What does it mean to negotiate peace? Don't you know that a weak country has to fight every battle? No matter how much peace you can negotiate, no matter how much peace you can negotiate, no matter how much peace you can negotiate, no matter how much peace you can negotiate, no?"

He didn't say anything else, and raised his hand and handed a telegram to Zeng Zhongming: "You can see it yourself..."

"At 2 a.m. yesterday, the Japanese army landed in Shantou on a large scale..."
