Chapter 193: Huge Indemnity

Defeat, cede land, and pay compensation! This is the law of this era. In wars between major countries in the world, the winner receives land and compensation, and the loser cedes the land and pays compensation. If the land and compensation are not obtained, it is not called victory, and it can even be said to be a failure after victory. The enemy is a victory after failure. This is also the reason why the Allies and the Allies fought to the death there at this time. For the compensation raised by the East China Government, various places demanded compensation, and compensation for the property plundered by Japan during the Eight-Nation Alliance invasion of China. In terms of land cede, the area of ​​the East China Government requested by the East China Government to cede Korea and Sakhalin Island was too large. If Japan ceded Korea and Sakhalin Island, it basically means that all the colonies that Japan expanded since the Meiji Restoration were lost.

Taiwan and Ryukyu Islands have been captured by the East China Government. The Mariana Islands, Caroline-like Islands, and Marshall Islands, which Japan just snatched from the Germans, were also captured by the East China Government.

What Japan has left is the two main areas of the Korea Peninsula and Sakhalin Island. If these two are also lost, then Japan will have no colonies. But at this time, Japan has no trump card. Britain, France and Russia are not able to put pressure on the East China Government. If the East China Government turns to the Allies, it will not be worthwhile to safeguard Japan's interests.

This war allowed the East China Government to prove its strength, that they had the ability to defeat Japan and could also defeat any enemy in Asia.

At this time, the UK had to consider how to get along with the East China Government in a way that Japan could not allow the UK to risk offending the East China Government in a way to help them.

Therefore, after the negotiations began, although the representative of the contract was speaking for Japan, he did not dare to speak too rigidly. He just said that this clause was unreasonable and suggested to modify it.

"Mr. Zhu, I think this clause is indeed too harsh. Although China defeated Japan, your appetite is too big."

"Yes! And I think the culture between China and Japan has commonality, but why can't both sides be like brothers? You can be more tolerant of brothers."

Representatives of Britain and France took turns to say that they mainly wanted the Sino-Japanese War to end as soon as possible so that Japan could mobilize troops to support the European battlefield.

It now seems that the Japanese government is willing to truce the war and is already willing to accept defeat, but Japan will not accept such harsh conditions.

"I have to admire the thinking of all the gentlemen. Although China and Japan have cultural commonality, China is by no means Japan's brother, Japan is also our brother. Japan is just beggars, thieves, and robbers. In the Tang Dynasty, they were beggars, and our China helped them transform from slave society to bans and build society, and brought them culture. In the Ming Dynasty, they were thieves and robbers. At first, they were harassed our coastline, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil. Later, they evolved into an official attack on the Korean War, and they were determined to destroy China. However, China was the Han Chinese at that time, so they failed.

And they launched the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 before, exactly the same as in the late Ming Dynasty. This time we failed because China was the Chinese ruled by the Qing Dynasty. Now, our China is dominated by the Han people again, so Japan failed again this time.”

Zhu Xiaocheng said: "We will not forgive this thief and robbers because they are too despicable. If they include their crimes in history, this is no longer a harsh condition. If Japan does not want to cede, we can occupy the entire thief in just half a month. In terms of compensation, we have not yet included the crime of Japanese officials selling drugs to China for a long time, and you, the UK, have a share."

"We are only responsible for production for things that are not beautiful, and our purpose is to produce medical products." The British representative said in a low voice.

"It's really despicable thieves and robbers. Such despicable people must be punished severely." The German representative said, adding that he was in trouble.

Japan declared war on Germany and launched a large-scale attack on Germany's Asian colonies. Germany naturally felt very unhappy about Japan. In the eyes of the Germans, Japan itself was a clown, and it was a shame for Germany to hand over Jiaozhou Bay to Japan.

"We Japan cannot accept such unreasonable terms. If this is the case, then we Japan will resist to the end." The Japanese representative was furious and almost yelled.

"We only have five days." Zhu Xiaocheng stretched out his hand and waved his five fingers... "If Japan does not show sincerity, then I can only apologize. Our East China Navy will impose a complete seal on Japan. At that time, ships from any country will not transport any raw materials like Japan, and at the same time, they cannot transport any goods from outside."

"We are very sincere, but you China is not sincere." The Japanese representative said with a stiff expression, trying hard to show a humble look.

Force is the trump card of politicians. Japan was frustrated at this time and could only retreat step by step at the negotiating table.

"Since you doubt our sincerity, we don't have to talk about it anymore. Our Chinese army can invade North Korea at any time. Our navy can deeply seal Japan at any time." Zhu Xiaocheng threatened and made a move to leave. "No, no, no, we are not doubting China's sincerity." The Japanese representative was startled and finally let China come to the negotiating table. How could they let them go?

"Since you all admit that we are sincere, why not sign this clause? Is it because you Japanese side has no sincerity?"

"No, no, no..."

The Japanese representatives were completely disorganized. At this time, China suppressed Japan from the army, navy and air force. Japan was simply randomly rubbed and pinched and flattened by China.

After the persuasion of representatives from various countries, Zhu Xiaocheng then said in a dilemma: "We can not want the North Koreans, but this compensation cannot be reduced by one point. You must also have cessation of land, otherwise how can we be considered a victorious country?"

The negotiation ended one-sidedly, and the entire negotiation lasted only three days.

On the third day, the Japanese Political Government finally agreed to most of the terms of defeat.

The main content is: paying 590 million taels of silver to China, withdrawing from Lushun, and ceding Sakhalin Island and China.

The compensation was paid in three years, with a total of 690 million taels of silver, and the first batch required a third of the compensation, which is 230 million taels of silver.

The Japanese government communicated with the British government, and the British government was willing to issue low-interest loans to Japan to help Japan pay the compensation.

The premise is that Japan must send soldiers to the European battlefield, and it is a large-scale combat force.

Now Japan doesn’t have much money and warships, and some of them are just people. It’s easier to send one or two million people to the European battlefield.

Although the terms of defeat were harsh, the ongoing war has brought serious losses to Japan, especially the recent maritime traffic closure of the East China Navy to Japan, which has brought heavy economic losses to Japan.

Even if Japanese merchant ships are flying national flags from other countries, the East China Navy will stop these merchant ships to check. If they find that they are Japanese merchant ships, they will immediately confiscate all the ships and cargo.

For Japan, the losses are far more than the problem of some cargo being made by a few ships, but the factory cannot start construction and the goods cannot be shipped out. Foreign merchants' confidence in the Japanese environment has declined, leading to capital statements...

There is no benefit to continuing war with China. In addition to suffering more heavy losses, North Korea is likely to lose its security.

It is a necessity to accept the terms of defeat.

After approving the acceptance of the clause, Teraunuchi Masato was ready to be criticized by Japanese citizens, but he understood that Japan could not continue to fight at this time.

On January 22, Japan admitted its defeat and signed the "Japan Defeat Treaty" with the East China Government. The treaty stipulates that Japan needs to pay 230 million taels of silver to the East China Government every year and pay the compensation for three years, totaling 690 million taels of silver, which must be paid in silver.

At the same time, Japan ceded Sakhalin Island and issued a notice of defeat and a confession.

The compensation of nearly 700 million taels of silver has made many people feel incredible after the news came out.

At the same time, Japan issued a notice of defeat in domestic radio stations and a "Confession to the Chinese People", which is also part of the dog.

What the East China Government did not expect was that Japanese manuscripts used a lot of Chinese classical Chinese, so that most Japanese people were confused.

However, the news of the defeat of several Japanese governments could not be kept under control. The Japanese people soon learned about Japan's defeat and the terms of the defeat they accepted.

Suddenly, many Japanese people burst into tears and cried.

In the face of the substitution, the Chinese people were happy. This time, the East China Political Government defeated Japan, not only conquered Taiwan, Ryukyu Islands, Mariana-like Islands, Caroline Islands, and Marshall Islands, but also recovered Lushun and even ceded Sakhalin Island.

It was like a major operation on Japan. After a war, all the colonies occupied by Japan were lost except for Chaoxian.

China has defeated this evil neighbor.

From then on, China also separated from the ranks of backward countries and began to move towards a world power.

Xia Jun was also very satisfied with the negotiation result. Chaoxian definitely didn't want it, because the next battlefield with Japan was Chaoxian, and it would be unsightly to take it back.

Although it was successful, there were still many aftermath work.

First of all, the recaptured Taiwan, Ryukyu-like island and Sakhalin Island need to be governed, especially in terms of culture, Japanese culture must be removed. The easiest thing is to immigrate, and someone must preside over the presidency.

In addition, the military construction of these territories must be carried out as soon as possible, and air bases, naval bases, coastal defense, etc. must be built.

The war was basically over, and we would hide to the west and take the sword to Outer Mongolia.
