Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2674 The Golden Age
At the beginning of the Potsdam Conference, the bearded man demanded that Japan be divided into several parts in accordance with the treatment of Germany, and be managed separately by the allies.

This is obviously impossible. The situation in Japan is different from that of Germany. Not only did Russia not play a positive role in defeating Japan, but because of the signing of the "Japan-Russia Non-Aggression Treaty", Japan made a determined effort to launch the Pacific War, which gave relevant National car manufacturing huge loss.

Now that Japan is about to be defeated, Big Beard's plan is purely wishful thinking. Rock and Truman will not give Big Beard any chance.

Rock's bottom line is to restore the pre-1919 border between Russia and Japan.

14 countries intervene in Russia, and Japan's enthusiasm is second only to France.

France is active because Russia confiscated French usury loans, and Japan is for expansion, taking the opportunity to expand its sphere of influence to Siberia and expand Japan's interests in the Far East.

As the first Asian country to defeat the European powers, the rise of Japan can be said to stand up on the corpse of Russia to some extent.

The interest entanglement behind the Russo-Japanese War was very complicated. Without the cooperation of Britain, Japan would have to pay a more painful price if it wanted to win the Russo-Japanese War.

The Japanese don't think so.

The Japanese, who have been dazzled by the victory, believe that the key factor why Japan was able to defeat Russia and win the Russo-Japanese War was Japan's last stand, and the help of Britain was only an external factor, not a decisive factor at all.

With the victory of the Russo-Japanese War ahead, after the revolution broke out in Russia, Japan sent troops to capture Vladivostok in August 1918. Since then, it has successively increased its troops, reaching a peak of 8.

During the peak period, Japanese troops were stationed in all towns east of Lake Baikal. Japan also actively supported Kolchak, supported the Seminov puppet regime, and planned to build an East Asian colonial circle including Siberia.

Japan's expansion aroused the concerns of Britain, France and the United States. The United States proposed an open-door policy after World War I. Japan's behavior ran counter to the interests of the United States. Under the strong interference of Britain, France and the United States, Japan had to make concessions and give up its appeal to the entire Siberia. It is hoped that the special rights in Primorsky, Amur and Transbaikal regions will be preserved.

This plan may be acceptable to Anglo-American law, because Siberia was not fully developed at that time, and the land was sparsely populated and of little value.

Russia certainly did not agree with this plan, so the Far Eastern Republic was established east of Lake Baikal. In order not to give Japan an excuse to play the game, the Far Eastern Republic claimed to be a bourgeois democratic republic, independent of Moscow and independent of each other.

There were some conflicts between them. Japan wanted to launch an attack on the Far Eastern Republic and disarmed 7000 Russian troops.

When the Russian army evacuated from Temple Street, they burned 384 Japanese prisoners to death, creating the Temple Street Incident.

At the Washington Naval Conference, under the mediation of the United States, Russia and Japan conducted several rounds of consultations, but no agreement was reached, and the negotiations were once deadlocked.

It was not until 1922 that Russia defeated the French Intervention Army and established a national defense force of 180 million people. The Japanese army withdrew from Vladivostok in October of that year.

In the following November, the Far Eastern Republic merged into Russia, and Japan and Russia really entered a state of negotiation.

In 1925, Russia and Japan signed the "Basic Treaty of Japan and Russia". The two sides jointly decided to establish diplomatic relations and not be hostile to each other. Japan promised to withdraw its troops from North Sakhalin before May 1925, 5; Russia agreed to give Japan 15 to 40 years 50% of the development rights of the North Sakhalin Oilfield, and give Japan the right to develop coal in specific areas.

The "Basic Treaty between Japan and Russia" was definitely a humiliation for Russia, but it was necessary. Russia thus got a chance to recuperate, and at least gained a relatively peaceful development environment in the Far East, which was very beneficial to Russia at that time.

Like the "Japan-Russia Nonaggression Treaty", the "Japan-Russia Basic Treaty" was a piece of waste paper when Russia was strong and could be abolished at any time.

Even so, these two treaties are like two thorns, deeply rooted in Beard's heart.

Now the opportunity has finally come, and the bearded man will definitely take revenge.

Like Rock, on the issue of Japan, Truman had no room to back down. On the first day of the resumption of the meeting, a fierce quarrel broke out between Truman and Beard.

Big Beard brought up the old matter again, demanding that Japan be divided into four parts, which should be managed by allies.

It's quite easy to divide. The Japanese mainland is composed of four larger islands, which happen to be one family.

Truman could not accept this proposal.

Japan launched the Pacific War, and the United States was the biggest victim. Although the United Kingdom was in a mess, it paled in comparison to the Bataan Death March.

The Bataan Death March can be regarded as one of the greatest disgraces in modern American history, not quite the same as the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was an "undeclared war." The U.S. military was caught off guard, and it is acceptable to suffer heavy losses.

The Bataan Death March took place after the Battle of the Philippines. U.S. commander MacArthur fled the battle. The [-] U.S.-Philippine coalition troops surrendered directly to the Japanese army and were brutally killed by the Japanese army. If Truman gave in to the bearded man on the Japanese issue, then Truman would never Two years later, he will run for president of the United States, and he will become one of the most failed presidents in American history.

"From September 1939, 9 to a week ago, Russia did not launch any military operations in East Asia. Instead, it signed the "Non-Aggression Treaty" with Japan privately, which caused the allies to suffer heavy losses on the East Asian battlefield. I agree with Japan. Cruel punishment, but Russia is not qualified to participate in it." Truman's face was livid, and he was also under great pressure during this period.

The United States calculates the time when World War II broke out, starting from Britain and France declaring war on Germany, which is September 1939, 9.

Southern Africa is counted from Japan's East Asian expansion, starting in 1931.

At the end of the European War, it was not the British who were most frustrated, but the American arms dealers.

Arms dealers are useless in peacetime, and only wars will bring huge profits to arms dealers. If anyone in the world really wants to fight World War Three, then it is the American arms dealers.

After the debut of super weapons, all countries began to enter the time of sages, and the possibility of the outbreak of World War III was infinitely reduced. Therefore, Truman faced tremendous pressure from the United States during this period, and was in a dilemma.

If there is no war, arms dealers have no place to play, and President Truman is not qualified.

It is even more impossible to restart the war. The United States will not take the initiative to provoke conflicts with major powers. Small fights cannot meet the requirements of those arms dealers in the United States, so Truman has to find another way to prove from another angle that Truman, the United States The president is qualified.

"The East Asian battlefield is a part of the world war. Russia's contribution to the world war is obvious to all. Germany's compensation alone cannot make up for Russia's losses. Therefore, Russia has every reason to participate in the management of Japan after the war. We deserve it!" The beard is also tough, and the eyes of Russians who think about money are turning green.

Attlee was in a state of desperation, and the life of the bearded man was also difficult.

Russia suffered far more losses than Britain in the war. Although Britain's financial situation is very bad, it is still stronger than Russia.

Less than 600 British troops have already overwhelmed the British government, and the Russian army is over ten million. Even if the cost of the Russian army is low, this is still an unbearable burden for the Russian government.

Therefore, Russia will also have to disarm next, and the intensity will be greater than that of the United Kingdom.

Like Britain, Russia is also facing a series of problems such as economic recovery and post-war reconstruction. Although southern Africa and the United States have imposed harsh conditions on Britain, they are finally willing to lend to the British.

Russia is unlikely to have a criminal record.

During the war, there was no way for Southern Africa and the United States to give Russia free aid. At that time, the Allied forces needed the Russian army to defeat the German army, relieve the pressure on the Allied forces on the Western Front, and create opportunities for landing in Europe and opening up a second European battlefield.

The Russians have a criminal record. After the end of the First World War, they paid off all their foreign debts, which had to make southern Africa and the United States more vigilant.

"Are you going to vote?" Truman pointed at the Russians.

Russia's biggest problem is that it has too few allies. The small area of ​​Eastern Europe has just completed the so-called "democratic election" with Russia's support, and now it is unable to come to Potsdam to support Russia.

Truman has too many cards. There are more than 60 members of the new League of Nations. Truman raised his arms and shouted, and more than half would respond. If they vote, Russia may lose the three states forever.

"This has nothing to do with voting. Russia lost 3000 million people in the world war, and it must be paid with blood!" The bearded man was equally determined.

Speaking of this, Shuang Rang is unwilling to give in, and Rock will act as a mediator next.

When southern Africa and Russia were at an impasse, Truman and Attlee split up to mediate, allowing the Potsdam Conference to continue.

Now that the United States and Russia have a more serious conflict of interests, someone also needs to mediate.

In order to ease the relationship between the United States and Russia, Roque held a banquet in the Palace of Sanssouci, which was the first time that the Palace of Sanssouci held a dinner since the opening of the Potsdam Conference.

Southern Africa is the most powerful country in the world, so the dinner is naturally perfect, and the variety of food and beverages provided is rare in the world.

Rock first approached Dabeard, hoping that Dabeard could make concessions on the Japanese issue.

"Locke, I understand how much you hate the Japanese as a Chinese; then you should also understand my attitude towards Japan. An island is far from being able to make up for the damage Japan caused to Russia." The bearded man was still angry, and the United States How many people were lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor and the death march in Bataan. In the Russo-Japanese War, the total tonnage of ships lost by the Navy alone reached 27 tons.

This figure was greater than the combined losses of both sides in the famous Battle of Jutland in World War I. 4830 Russians were killed and 5917 were captured.

In contrast, the Japanese lost only three torpedo boats, with only 117 killed and 587 injured.

In addition, Russia's losses in the Russo-Japanese War were actually similar to those of Japan.

Throughout the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army killed 88429 people, of which 35122 were directly killed, more than 10 were injured, and about 2000 were captured.

On the Russian side, 4 people were killed, 14 were injured, and about 8 were captured.

This situation is very clear in Southern Africa.

During the Russo-Japanese War, southern Africa, as a military observer, sent medical teams to East Asia to provide medical support to both parties involved in the war, and Russia was also a beneficiary.

"Of course I can understand, but I understand better the embarrassing situation that Russia, as a working-class country, faces in the international arena—" Rock said bluntly, behind the bearded tough man, there was actually nothing he could do.

The army of tens of millions is indeed frightening, but it is only limited to fear. The British are afraid of war, and the Russians are also unbearable. The pressure on the bearded man is not much less than that of Attlee.

Rock is now very familiar with Russian-style blackmail. The aggression shown by the bearded man represents Russia's bluff behind it. If the allies become tougher, the bearded man will naturally give in.

If there is a suitable step and a bearded attitude, there will naturally be room for change.

In the final analysis, even the bearded man also needs to give Russia an explanation to appease the people and consolidate the ruling foundation, which is also very important for the bearded man.

"I have reached an agreement with President Truman. Once Japan establishes a democratic government based on peace, southern Africa and the United States will withdraw their troops from Japan. This time will not be too long." Rock once again emphasized that the treatment of Japan is completely different from that of Germany. different.

Considering the situation in Germany, the Allied troops stationed in Germany has no deadline. If the Allied forces withdraw and Germany grows a mustache, no one can bear the consequences of World War III.

This is the barefoot who is not afraid to wear shoes.

Southern African countries have great careers and are unwilling to gamble everything for war.

The Germans have nothing to lose. They have reached the current level. No matter how miserable it is, how miserable can it be?

Referring to the results of the Paris Peace Conference, Germany's punishment will only make the Germans more united and more desperate.

"Don't you worry, Japan's militarism will revive?" The bearded man didn't believe that southern Africa and the United States would keep their promises.

This is also normal.

Let’s not talk about whether the Americans will withdraw their troops. Rock’s promise to withdraw their troops is just a tactic to delay the troops.

There is a prerequisite for the withdrawal of troops, and it must be after the establishment of a democratic government in Japan.

The "democracy" here is very debatable. It is not the Japanese who have the final say on whether it is democracy, but the southern Africans.

As long as Japan's democracy is not thorough enough, then southern Africa has a reason to continue stationing troops in Japan, and Japan will no longer have a chance to make a comeback.

In another time and space, the Japanese lost their hearts for 30 years, and there was a golden age before that, which lasted for almost 40 years.

Japan's golden age is thanks to the Korean War. If MacArthur hadn't turned Japan into a logistics base for the United Nations Army, Japan would not have had a so-called golden age at all.
