Glorious Mission 1937

Regarding the issues discussed at this meeting, Roosevelt communicated with Chen Feng during the meal. There were two in total, one was to end the war as soon as possible, and the other was the political arrangement of the post-war world.

With Chen Feng as a new force, many developments are beneficial to the Allied forces. Take the Soviet Union as an example. Because of Chen Feng's support, the Soviet army still suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the war, with a small 300 million troops wiped out. With Chen Feng's cooperation with the Soviet Union, a large number of advanced weapons and equipment were added to the frontline Soviet troops, especially the use of T34 tanks, which made the Soviet army even more powerful.

At this time, the Soviet army had gained a firm foothold on the Soviet-German battlefield, and even gained the initiative in the war on some battlefields, and the situation was excellent.

As far as the whole world is concerned, the strength of the Allied forces is growing rapidly, while the forces of fascism are declining. In particular, Japan, which dominates the Asian battlefield, has suffered unprecedented blows to its army, navy and air force, and even its homeland has been frequently attacked by Chinese strategic bombers. After each major bombing, Japan's national strength will decline.

The leaders of the allied countries have no doubts about the victory of the war, but with the long-term war, the economic decline of the countries is very serious. In addition to the huge casualties, the high-level headaches of the countries, the increasing unemployment rate The poverty and poverty of the population is also a difficult problem before the governments of all countries, which must be solved.

However, there must be a prerequisite for solving these problems, that is, a stable development environment is needed. Only in this way can the economy develop. Therefore, leaders of various countries urgently hope that the war can be ended as soon as possible.

Everyone wants to end the war.But who has the ability to end the war as soon as possible, Roosevelt did not, Stalin did not, Churchill and Chen Feng also did not, this requires the cooperation of all countries in the world.

Although the ties between countries are also strengthening after the Atlantic Charter, there are still many problems in forming an intimate relationship, so this meeting can also be said to solve the problem.

After the meeting began, Roosevelt put forward his own political ideas, hoping that all countries would abandon their previous prejudices and work together to deal with the axis of evil between Germany, Italy and Japan, and restore peace to the world.

In principle, Chen Feng agreed with Roosevelt's question.However, he raised some of his own "concerns? What concerns? It is still the territorial dispute between China and neighboring countries, first of all, the territorial issue between China and the Soviet Union. It was signed when the Soviet Union was facing a powerful foreign aggression. After the Soviet Union won the Great Patriotic War, it is still unknown whether it will recognize the previously signed agreement. Therefore, Chen Feng needs Stalin to reconfirm the legal status of the previously signed Sino-Soviet territorial resolution on behalf of the Soviet government. .

Followed by Sino-British and Sino-French territorial disputes.The territorial disputes between China and Britain involve Xiangjiang, Kowloon, Myanmar and the southern border of Tibet. The UK has promised the Chinese government to return Xiangjiang and Kowloon to China, but it has not stated the time of return.In addition, under the pressure of the war, the British government voluntarily gave up the ownership of Myanmar and recognized China's status as the suzerain of Myanmar.

Now Chen Feng needs the British government to give a clear answer. Britain must return Xiangjiang and other places to China at the same time as the war ends, and at the same time withdraw its troops from Myanmar. Myanmar will become a province of China in the future.In addition, the British must stop infiltrating the southern Tibet region of China. The Chinese government has never recognized the bullshit McMahon Line. China's territory does not need a foreigner to point fingers.

There is only one place involved in the Sino-French territorial dispute, and that is Annan (Vietnam). China’s suzerainty over Annan has lasted for hundreds of years. It was because of the arrival of the French that forced China to give up its ownership of Annan. During Annan's time, he also snatched a large area of ​​Chinese territory, which must be returned.

The last is the territorial dispute between China and Japan. It is a big problem between China and Japan, because China still has a large area of ​​territory controlled by the Japanese, including North China, Northeast China, Central China, and South China. In addition, there are Baodao and its affiliated islands.These places have always been China's inherent territory, and China's ownership of them is unquestionable, and there is no need for discussion at the General Assembly.

But Japan still controls the Korean Peninsula and the Ryukyu Islands. The Korean Peninsula has regarded China as its suzerain since hundreds of years ago, and pays tribute every year. Before the Sino-Japanese War, China still had a standing army in North Korea. The relationship with servants and ministers, so China must have ownership of North Korea after defeating the Japanese.

The Ryukyu Islands have not been Japan's inherent territory since ancient times. According to the map of the Qing Dynasty in China, before 1609, the Amami Islands, Okinawa Islands, Miyako Islands, and Yaeyama Islands belonged to the Kingdom of Ryukyu.China and Western countries include the Amami Islands before 1609 as the "Ryukyu Islands". In 1609, the Satsuma Domain of Japan invaded Ryukyu and ceded the Amami Islands to Satsuma.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan sent troops to occupy the Ryukyu Islands. In 1871, the Ryukyu King was first forcibly "canonized" as a vassal. At that time, the Ryukyu Kingdom was still a subsidiary state of the Qing and Japan, making Ryukyu a Japanese dictatorship. Set up the Ryukyu Fan. In 1872, the Ryukyu Fan was abolished. It was first incorporated into Kagoshima Prefecture, and then relocated to Okinawa Prefecture. The remaining island groups except the Amami Islands of the original Ryukyu Fan were brought under the jurisdiction of Okinawa County, and the Amami Islands belonged to Kagoshima. Under the jurisdiction of the county.Although the Qing government made representations about this from 1879 to 1877, it ended without a problem as the Qing Dynasty weakened.

On behalf of the Chinese government, Chen Feng raised objections to the ownership of the Ryukyu Islands, demanding that the Japanese government must return all the territory in China, Treasure Island, the Korean Peninsula, and the Ryukyu Islands after the war.

Chen Feng is well aware of how important China's position is in the world's anti-fascist war now. The United States is powerless to look eastward. In order to protect their Hawaiian Islands and west coast in the Pacific, the Americans must rely on China; the same is true for the Soviets, if not for Chen Feng For their generosity, the Soviet Union is probably still being beaten passively; if the British want to keep India, the most beautiful pearl in the queen's crown, they must cooperate with the Chinese government, otherwise the imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire will kill all those Indians. shredded.

The old man at the Cairo Conference in history, as the leader of a weak country, achieved the achievement of "returning Manchuria (Northeast China), Taiwan, Penghu Islands, etc. to China". Chen Feng does not believe that with China's current strength, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and other countries cannot agree above conditions.

Moreover, in history, the old man participated in the Cairo meeting because of some concerns, and made mistakes in judgment on all important issues. For example, when talking about depriving Japan of the islands it occupied in the Pacific Ocean, Roosevelt thought of the Ryukyu Islands, and said to Chiang: "The Ryukyu series The arc-shaped archipelago composed of many islands should also be deprived of the island that Japan used improper means to snatch the island. I consider that Ryukyu is very close to your country geographically and has a very close relationship with your country in history. If your country If you want to get the Ryukyu Islands, you can hand them over to your country for management."

Sifu suddenly proposed to hand over the Ryukyu Islands to China, which greatly exceeded Jiang's expectations, and Jiang did not know how to answer.After a while, he said to Roosevelt: "I think these islands should be occupied by China and the United States, and then the two countries should manage them together." When Chiang said this, Roosevelt felt that Chiang did not want the Ryukyu Islands, so he did not go any further. Next say.

Chen Feng came here this time to resolve all these regrets. It is mine that must be given to me, not mine to strive for. Besides, the places Chen Feng mentioned were indeed Chinese vassal states before. China was a weak country in the past, and weak countries had no diplomacy. , even if this government has any ideas, no one cares.

But it is different now. China's navy, land and air forces have developed into a powerful military force in a very short period of time. The army has launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese army on the entire Chinese battlefield, becoming the first Allied army to enter the counterattack. battlefield.Its navy almost wiped out the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy and achieved unprecedented success.And China's long-range bomber fleet has already achieved large-scale bombing of the Japanese mainland. From various signs, the Chinese government has risen. Just like Napoleon said, the lion in the east has woken up.

These issues raised by Chen Feng were quickly brought to the conference for discussion. Although they were very sensitive and sharp, some issues were really not wanted to be faced by the Soviet Union and Britain. Churchill even roared at the conference and refused to discuss any issues related to the future of the British colonies in the Far East. And refused to return Hong Kong and Kowloon to China.

Because according to the unequal treaty signed between Britain and the Qing government, the British lease of Xiangjiang was as high as 99 years. Although Britain recognized China's ownership of Xiangjiang before that, it would not return Xiangjiang to China in advance.

Followed by the Myanmar issue, the British thought that the clan relationship between China and Myanmar was very vague. After the war, Myanmar either maintained its independence or joined the Commonwealth of Nations, but China would never be allowed to annex Myanmar.

Due to Churchill's resistance, many of the issues raised by Chen Feng were only passed on the territorial dispute with Japan, and reached a stalemate with the Soviet Union, Britain, and France.

However, Chen Feng didn't care. Some things can't be resolved through negotiation. Britain, the Soviet Union, and France, the Soviet Union's attitude is not tough, because they have seen the power of the Chinese Army, and the two countries have agreed before, but there are some details On the one hand, we still need to discuss, and there is no problem in the general direction.

And now France doesn't even have a government. The Vesey regime can't represent France at all. The government-in-exile is under the eaves and must follow in the footsteps of the British, so the key to all problems lies with the British.

As for the British, Chen Feng thought that there was no need to do anything by himself. When the Japanese approached them, these Anglos would voluntarily surrender. (To be continued..)
