I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

) In the original history, the United States did not give China the first aid until the end of 1938 (it is the time in the book, China in the book has not received a single cent of aid from the United States), and it was not free. China used 22 Thousands of barrels of tung oil were exchanged for a loan of 2500 million U.S. dollars, and Britain also gave China the first aid. How much? £95.

In 1943 and 1944, the most difficult years of China's Anti-Japanese War, the value of the US's annual assistance to China was only about 5000 million US dollars, which was really not much, very little.

Jiang Weiguo really didn't like the United States, the reason is very simple: China and the United States agreed to deal with the Japanese together, but after the fighting started, the United States obviously had cannons at home, but they only gave China pistols.

Some people may say, "At least the United States has given pistols. It is better to have them than not." But the crux of the matter is that China and the United States have signed an alliance agreement. Responsibility to help China to the greatest extent possible.

Watching China insist on fighting Japan with pistols, but the United States hides its cannons at home and refuses to give them to China. Isn't this behavior a violation of the alliance treaty?

Compared with the short-sightedness and favoritism of the United States, Germany has always attached great importance to China. Even in the original history, Germany not only worked hard to mediate the Sino-Japanese War, even until 1936, the German Ministry of Defense still advocated such a policy: strengthen China Japan’s military strength made Japan dare not act rashly against China. Since then, it has given up the idea of ​​​​invading China and single-mindedly fought against the Soviet Union with Germany. Even Hermann Wilhelm Göring, the number two Nazi, once advocated "wooing China to form Germany and Japan" China’s three-nation anti-Soviet alliance front” (in other words, even if Jiang Weiguo did not change history, the idea of ​​​​establishing a “Germany, China, Japan, and Three Kingdoms Alliance” appeared in the German high-level, so at this time this idea became the mainstream will of the German high-level A very natural megatrend.

).

Right now, the overall situation of Germany, China, and Japan is hard to change, and China is already on the verge of riding a tiger, because China can achieve peace and regain a large area of ​​​​occupied land at the negotiating table, and it is inseparable from Germany's contribution. Germany has put a lot of effort into this. bloody.

If China refuses to accept this peace, or, in the future, reneges on Germany or even betrays Germany, the consequences will be very serious.

The most important thing is that China accepts peace at this time and recovers the occupied land that the Japanese promised to return, which is directly equivalent to agreeing to join the German-Chinese-Japanese Triple Alliance.

To put it bluntly, after China takes this step, it means that it will be on the German "thief ship" and tied to the German tank. Unless it learns from Italy, it will change during the war, abandon Germany and join the opposite camp (Italy I have done this kind of thing that pits Germany more than once, I did it in World War I, and I did it in World War II).

Previously, China and Japan negotiated a peace and armistice for the first time, and China has a choice next. It can choose to form an alliance with Germany and Japan to fight a world war, and it can choose to fight again with Japan. There is no choice. You cannot choose to fight Japan again, because this is tantamount to betraying Germany. You can only choose to form an alliance with Germany and Japan to fight a world war.

China, do you want to take this step?The problem is huge.

Jiang Weiguo's attitude is inclined to "take this step". Although he is extremely worried that his step will bring the Chinese nation into a state of doom, he repeatedly weighs the pros and cons. He feels that there is no one hundred percent absolute thing in the world. It's a risk, and if not a big one, it's worth the risk.

Jiang Weiguo wanted to know Chiang Kai-shek's attitude.

Chiang Kai-shek was actually more contradictory than Chiang Wei-guo. He wanted peace between China and Japan, and he was also afraid of an alliance with Germany and Japan.

However, the current situation and the conditions offered by the Japanese had to make Chiang Kai-shek extremely tempted.

Chiang Kai-shek’s refusal to accept the conditions of the Japanese’s big mouth, on the one hand, was related to national interests, and on the other hand, he was worried that “the national government would not be able to gain a foothold” (if the behavior of ceding land for peace, losing power and humiliating the country was too serious, it would inevitably lead to domestic The emergence of anti-government forces, which in turn led to the collapse of the national government in various aspects of domestic opposition forces), but the conditions offered by the Japanese at the moment can be called "explosion of conscience", which made Chiang Kai-shek extremely tempted in extreme fear.

"Wei'er..." After pondering for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo, "The current situation in our country is indeed very good, as long as we do what the Germans said, it will really be a rainy day, but I am only worried something..."

"Become the enemy of the United States with Germany!" Jiang Weiguo looked solemn, "Father, I am also worried about this, and I am very, very worried.

The United States is so powerful that to become its enemy is almost certain death!"

"Do you have any countermeasures?" Chiang Kai-shek's expression became more and more anxious.

"Two countermeasures!" Jiang Weiguo has already thought about this extremely important issue. "First, try our best to prevent Germany and Japan from provoking the United States. If one of Germany and Japan goes to war with the United States, we will immediately withdraw from the Triple Alliance!"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "As long as we don't harm the interests of the United States in peacetime and wartime, even if we are in the same group as Germany and Japan, as long as we have no hatred or conflict with the United States, there is still a great possibility that we will protect ourselves wisely." !"

"The second countermeasure is the atomic bomb!" Jiang Weiguo looked at Jiang Weiguo solemnly, "It is impossible for us to compete with the United States in building airplanes, tanks, cannons, and warships. It is even more difficult to tie us with Germany and Japan." But the United States, but as long as we have the atomic bomb, we will be invincible, although we may not win, but we will definitely not be defeated!"

"Wei'er..." Chiang Kai-shek looked worried, "You have told me about this atomic bomb more than once, but, after all, this kind of weapon is only theoretical, there is no such weapon in the world, and its power is really as powerful as you said Is it big? If it is the misjudgment of those scientists or they overestimate the power of the atomic bomb, then we will really lose the last straw.

This matter is too important to take risks, really can't take risks..."

"Father!" Jiang Weiguo smiled, showing full confidence, "Please believe me! I have summoned the best nuclear physicists at home and abroad to study this matter many times. The super power of the atomic bomb and the unprecedented lethality It is a [-]% conclusion! This conclusion is absolutely reliable, and you don't need to have the slightest doubt.

As long as there is enough manpower, financial and material resources, an atomic bomb can be developed!One, about the size of the desk in front of you, can destroy a city in an instant, killing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people!Father, on the matter of the atomic bomb, please rest assured!Our only problem is that the manpower, financial and material resources needed to develop the atomic bomb are astronomical, and our country cannot afford it at all. Even if Germany is added, it will take as little as five years and as much as ten years!"

"Wei'er!" Chiang Kai-shek's mind was not slow, and he immediately realized a terrible premonition, "You said that the development of an atomic bomb requires extremely huge manpower, financial resources, and material resources. Have you forgotten? The United States is the most powerful country in the world. How can we ensure that we can develop an atomic bomb ahead of the United States? Once the United States develops an atomic bomb ahead of us, and we are the enemy of the United States, then... "He had a look of palpitations on his face.

What Chiang Kai-shek said is exactly the "one" in Jiang Weiguo's mind that "one in ten thousand is not sure". He is not afraid of 1941, but just in case. Nuclear physicists were hired with a lot of money, secretly kidnapped, or secretly murdered. At the same time, they tried their best to spy on the US atomic bomb development project (in the original history, the United States formally formulated the Manhattan Project in December 12). To put it bluntly, Jiang Weiguo is doing everything possible to delay the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union from obtaining the atomic bomb.

But what if something unexpected happens?Jiang Weiguo was extremely afraid of that "what if".

"Father, although the possibility of this kind of thing can't be ruled out, the probability is very low!" Jiang Weiguo honestly told Chiang Kai-shek the truth. The American atomic bomb, then Jiang Weiguo is really the eternal sinner of the Chinese nation, "However, there are risks in everything, more or less!"

Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly and long: "This is really an unprecedented gamble with the fate of the country as the stake!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo with a mixture of meaningful and vacillating eyes, "You bet ?"

Jiang Weiguo replied after a full minute: "Father, I bet!"

In late January and early February, Germany, China and Japan resumed the tripartite talks. Representatives from the three countries held the second tripartite talks in Qingdao. The Chinese representatives were Ministers of Military Command Xu Yongchang, Zhang Qun, and Zhang Jizheng.

At this time, the situation on the Sino-Japanese battlefield and the situation in the Far East, China, Japan and the Soviet Union were all greatly beneficial to China. In addition, Germany was inclined to China and put pressure on Japan. Japan finally made a "great concession."

Suiyuan and Chahar provinces have been taken back by the Nanjing Army, so the Japanese side cannot "return Suiyuan and Chahar provinces to China." Naturally, Suiyuan and Chahar provinces are not bargaining chips for the Japanese side. The new conditions, Japan is willing to give up Hebei Province and Beiping City, but China is not satisfied, because after the two provinces of Suicha were taken by the Nanjing Army, the two cities of Hebei Province and Pingjin were located in the Suicha Province, Shanxi Province, In the three-sided siege of Hebei Province, Xu Yongchang said with a firm attitude, "Even if you don't give up Hebei, we can fight back by ourselves." "Tianjin, like Hebei, is already in our army's pocket. If you want to continue to control Tianjin, you must take one The province is here to change", Xu Yongchang said again, "Chengde, the provincial capital of Rehe Province, is already under the control of our army. You mobilized two and a half divisions and failed to take it down. Then, how can our army in Chengde retreat without a fight? Can you give up the recovered land to you?" "It's too little to give up one province and one city!" In the end, the Japanese side had to agree to "give up one more province", that is, Rehe Province.

Among the four northeastern provinces, the core is the three provinces of Liaoji, Jilin and Heilongjiang, and Rehe is relatively marginal. Rehe is not only one of the four provinces in Northeast China, but also one of the four provinces in northern Serbia. , the Japanese army occupied the three provinces of Liaoji, Jilin and Heilongjiang. Rehe Province was occupied by the Japanese army from February to March 1933, not together with the three provinces of Liaoji, Jilin, and Heilongjiang. Extremely unwilling, but in the current situation where China and Japan are at war, the Soviet Union and Japan may also be at war, and Germany is putting pressure on them, they have to give in, and for the Japanese, it is at least much better to give up Rehe Province than to give up the Chinese side. Liaoning Province in China (although Jiang Weiguo deplored the abandonment of Liaoning Province, he had to accept the status quo).

Through the "Winter Battle" and the second "Tripartite Talks", China successfully regained the four provinces and one city of Suiyuan, Chahar, Hebei, Rehe, and Beiping.

Originally, Japan invaded and occupied eight provinces and three cities in China (the four provinces in Northeast China, Sui, Cha, Hebei, Pingjin, Shanghai, and Taiwan). Province two cities.

Except for Shanghai and Tianjin, which have not yet been taken back, the situation between China and Japan has successfully returned to before the July [-]th Incident, and the Rehe Province belonging to the Northeast has also been taken back additionally.

The main contents of the Sino-Japanese Armistice Treaty (New) are as follows:

First, Japan recognizes Suiyuan and Chahar provinces that have been recovered by the Chinese army as Chinese territory;

Second, Japan immediately returned Hebei Province, Rehe Province, and Beiping City to China;

Third, supplementary terms, Japan can substantially control China's Liaoning Province, Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province, Tianjin City, Shanghai City, and Taiwan. The Chinese government does not recognize the puppet Manchukuo. The sovereignty of the three provinces of Tianjin and Shanghai and the two cities still belong to China, and the governance power temporarily belongs to Japan; in addition, Chongming Island in Shanghai is not a Japanese-controlled area (because the Japanese massacre occurred on the island, and China recovered Chongming Island, and the Chinese army controlled Chongming Island It can ensure that the estuary of the Yangtze River is not completely controlled by the Japanese army, and can allow China and the Chinese army to obtain a "narrow waterway for the estuary of the Yangtze River."

Chongming Island was later established as Chongming County, which belongs to Jiangsu Province.

);

Fourth, 15% of the annual fiscal revenue of the three provinces and two cities of Liaoji, Heijin, and Shanghai occupied by Japan will be transferred from the Japanese government to the Chinese government;

Fifth, Japan allows Chinese troops to station no more than 3500 troops in Japanese territory in the south of Sakhalin Island;

Sixth, Germany immediately pays Japan [-] million U.S. dollars for the construction of the Japanese Navy, and the German government pays Japan [-] million U.S. dollars every year for the construction of the Japanese Navy;

Seventh, Germany provides 150 million tons of crude oil to Japan free of charge every year;

第八，德国在一年内以成本价格向日本出售1万支mp-28/38冲锋枪以及3套mp-28/38冲锋枪生产线；

第九，德国在一年内以成本价格向日本出售300辆坦克（包括100辆四号、50辆三号、50辆二号、100辆一号）以及4套4种型号坦克各1套生产线；

Tenth, China opened its resource exports to Japan, selling tungsten sand, pig bristles, tung oil, etc. to Japan at international market prices.

...

This new agreement and armistice treaty is undoubtedly beneficial to China. Although there are still many shortcomings and loss of interests, China is indeed the biggest winner of the second tripartite talks.

After Germany presided over the signing of the new peace treaty between China and Japan, it immediately began to formulate the "Germany, China and Japan Triple Alliance Treaty". In this treaty, Japan made another "sacrifice" and China gained benefits again. The relevant content is excerpted as follows:

First, the Japanese Army was reduced. After the reduction, 12 divisions were retained, namely the Guards Division, the 1st to 7th Divisions, the 9th, 10th, 14th, and 18th Divisions. More than 2.6, the total strength of the Japanese Army does not exceed 35. The Japanese Army can establish reserve troops, but they are not allowed to send reserve troops to the territory of the four Japanese-occupied provinces and two cities in China (in the 12 divisions of the Japanese army, the Guards Division , The 1st and 7th Divisions are stationed in mainland China, the 3rd Division is stationed in Shanghai, the 14th Division is stationed in Tianjin, the 10th Division is stationed in the Taiwan Islands and the Ryukyu Islands, and the 5th Division is stationed in the Korean Peninsula. The 2nd, 4th, 6th, 9th, and 18th divisions are stationed in the three provinces of Liaoning, Jilin and Heibei in the northeast);

Second, the Japanese Army immediately provided the Chinese Army with Japanese weapons capable of arming 30 people;

Third, Japan's military industry has the responsibility and obligation to produce ammunition and weapons for the Chinese army during the war;...etc.

Although Japan once again made a "sacrifice", Germany also gave Japan a great blueprint for the distribution of long-term benefits.

The Triple Alliance of Germany, China and Japan must have been established for war. Regarding the distribution of new territories acquired by the Triple Alliance, under the auspices of Germany, the distribution plan between China and Japan is as follows:

If the Triple Alliance of Germany, China and Japan defeats and destroys the Soviet Union, the Eastern European region of the Soviet Union will belong to Germany, and the Central Asian region of the Soviet Union will belong to China. As for the North Asian (Siberia) region of the Soviet Union, it will be shared by China and Japan. Beginning with the signing of the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" on September 1689, 9, all the territories that Soviet Russia plundered over the past 7 years that belonged to China were returned to China (including the areas to be discussed in the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" and Sakhalin Island ), and based on this basic premise, the east of 250 degrees east longitude in Central Asia belongs to Japan, and the west belongs to China. Japan is divided into about 90%, and China is divided into about 60%.

According to this ratio, it seems that Japan is taking advantage, but China is actually taking advantage, because almost the densely populated places in North Asia are allocated to China (most of those places used to be Chinese land), and China can share 100% In Central Asia, at the same time, the resources in the west of North Asia are more abundant than in the east of North Asia, and the West Siberia Plain in the west of North Asia is the best place in North Asia.

If the Triple Alliance of Germany, China and Japan defeats countries such as Britain, France and the Netherlands (excluding the United States), the Far East colonies of these countries will be completely allocated by China and Japan, and Southeast Asia and Australia will be "one size fits all", with the equator as the dividing line, and the north of the equator belongs to China , the south of the equator belongs to Japan. According to this distribution method, China will get Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaya, Brunei, Singapore and nearly one-fifth of Indonesia, and Japan will get Indonesia. More than four-fifths of the entire Oceania, including the entire territory of Australia and New Zealand; in South Asia, the three countries in southern Tibet (Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim) naturally completely belong to China, as for India (including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Sri Lanka) needs to be discussed in the long run. In principle, the distribution between China and Japan is still the case. As for how to divide it, it will depend on the situation and the development and changes of the world situation. The Middle East belongs to Germany. If it continues to the west, it is the sphere of influence of Germany and China, and Japan. Range no longer extends west beyond India.

Generally speaking, the German blueprint of "Germany, China and Japan to carve up the world as a partnership" deeply encouraged and inspired the Japanese high-level officials who were unhappy because of "too many concessions" to China.

Of course, in the minds of German and Chinese high-level officials, Japan is only used for use.

Behind Japan's back, China and Germany signed another alliance treaty, and it was top secret.

With regard to the major event of China’s joining the camp of the Triple Alliance of Germany, China and Japan, Jiang Weiguo made six additional demands to Hitler:

First, China and Germany jointly develop the atomic bomb, and the atomic bomb development base must be located in China;

Second, Germany must try its best to avoid war with the United States. If Germany goes to war with the United States, China has the right to withdraw from the alliance immediately;

Third, Germany handed over the Jews to China;

Fourth, Germany continues to fully support China;

Fifth, Germany should attack first and only the Soviet Union in the following war;

Sixth, the "integration" of the Chinese navy, the German navy, and the Italian navy (with the French navy and even the British navy that may be controlled by Germany in the future).

Hitler's reply was: Except for the fifth point that needs to be further explored, he fully agrees with the other five points.

"Can you sign?" Jiang Weiguo murmured to himself in his heart, "Fighting the world war with Germany and Japan will completely change history! Sign? Do you really want to sign?" He closed his eyes, "My motherland , I really did my best for you!"

Section 402 Triple Alliance (2)

On January 1939, 1, China and Japan officially ceased war for the second time; on February 23, China and Japan formally negotiated for the second time, under the witness of Germany, signed the "New Treaty on the Friendly Settlement of Several Disputes and Conflicts between China and Japan"; Subsequently, Germany, China, and Japan began to negotiate the "Germany, China, and Japan Triple Alliance Cooperation and Mutual Assistance Agreement" (this agreement is directly equivalent to the formal conclusion of a military alliance between Germany, China, and Japan).

When the dust settled, Jiang Weiguo was also "rescued". For the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army, it can be said to be a double blessing. First, they won another great victory for the country. "Are.

Jiang Weiguo began to appear in the public eye sitting in a wheelchair covered in bandages. After all, there were too many things waiting for him to deal with. He had to deal with official and private affairs non-stop while pretending to be seriously injured.

Jiang Weiguo was "severely injured", which means that he has suffered a lot of his girlfriends, and his girlfriends are collectively in the vulnerable period of women. They either just gave birth, or are about to give birth, or have children in their stomachs.

In order to prevent leaks, Jiang Weiguo did not tell the truth to the four Yangmeis, and never contacted them, which made them fearful for a full month and a half. Cai Wenna, who was the most emotional, almost washed her face with tears every day, and Liu Wugou and Shi Liling were also very sad and worried. Wiping tears every day, only Yangmei is calmer.

Jiang Weiguo had to sigh with emotion, "I have paid so much for the country!" At the end of January, Liu Wugou gave birth and gave birth to a pair of twins. The boy was named "Jiang Xiaoyang" and the girl was named "Jiang Xiaowan". , It was taken from the good line "clear and gentle" in "The Book of Songs · National Style · Zheng Feng · Wild Grass", but Jiang Weiguo was not by Liu Wugou's side that day, which made him feel deeply guilty.

Jiang Weiguo was too busy. Foreign affairs, domestic affairs, public affairs, and private affairs were numerous. The most important issue was naturally the signing of the "Germany, China and Japan Triple Alliance" agreement, followed by the issue of Jiang Weiguo's expansion of power.

Through the winter counterattack and the second tripartite talks, China regained Hebei Province, Suiyuan Province, Chahar Province, Rehe Province, and Beiping City. It is logical that these four provinces and one city belong to Jiang Weiguo, making Jiang Weiguo's territory from The two provinces of Lu and Jin became six provinces and one city of Lu, Jin, Hebei, Suicha, Reping, and the power was greatly expanded.

At this time, Jiang Weiguo's "Ning faction" was already the most powerful faction in the central army of the national government, completely surpassing He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Hu Zongnan, Tang Enbo, etc. Gu Zhutong in the region is his backbone; Chen Cheng belongs to a half-political and half-military faction, and his direct lineage is mainly in the two lakes; Hu Zongnan is mainly a military faction, controlling parts of southern Shaanxi Province and the three northwestern provinces; Tang Enbo is also mainly a military Factions and forces control Eastern Henan and Southern Henan, while Western Henan and Central Henan are Jiang Dingwen's territories.

).

Jiang Weiguo is actually a warlord in essence, but he is different from other warlords. First, his territory was recovered from the clutches of the Japanese, not by Chiang Kai-shek's "enfeoffment". Second, his power itself It is the direct part of the national government, and he is the central government.

原先的鲁晋二省共计30多万平方公里的土地、5200多万人口，眼下增加了冀绥察热平，地盘面积和人口数量都剧增了，分别增至约125万平方公里和约9000万（六省一市的面积和人口数量分别是：山东15万多、3700多万，山西15万多、1200多万，河北12万多、2700多万，绥远约33万、200多万，察哈尔约28万、200多万，热河约18万、400多万，北平约1.5万、120多万。

Note that refugees who left their homes during the war and civilians who died during the war should be deducted from the population. However, after the above-mentioned areas were recovered, most of the refugees chose to return to their hometowns, and Jiang Weiguo’s six provinces and one city were well built, such as the land reform policy, which attracted Many residents from other provinces and regions across the country have come to six provinces and one city, so the population has fluctuated, but overall it has grown.

In addition, because the area of ​​Henan Province on the north bank of the Yellow River, that is, the northern part of Henan, is the only place where the land transportation of the two provinces of Shandong and Jin must pass, northern Henan is actually under the jurisdiction of Jiang Weiguo.

Western Henan and central Henan belonged to Jiang Dingwen, eastern Henan and southern Henan belonged to Tang Enbo, and northern Henan belonged to Jiang Weiguo.

) At this time, Jiang Weiguo controlled a total of six provinces and one city, but the Japanese occupied areas in China were only left with four provinces and two cities (Liaoning Province, Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province, Taiwan Province, Shanghai City, Tianjin City) , the total area of ​​the occupied area is about 100 million square kilometers, and the total population of the occupied area is about 4100 million (about 95 and 3400 million in the three provinces of Liao, Jilin and Heilongjiang, about 3.6 and 350 million in Taiwan, about 0.5 and 250 million in Shanghai, and about 0.8 in Tianjin ,100.

).

When acquiescing that the Japanese could temporarily occupy the four provinces and cities of Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Taiwan, Shanghai, and Tianjin, Jiang Weiguo made an additional strict request to the Japanese: the Japanese side must not use any "Illegal means" of killing Chinese civilians.
