I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 497

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "Indeed, this must be carefully regulated.

Otherwise, there will definitely be many guys who will take advantage of the loopholes and marry seven, eight, or more than a dozen Soviet wives at once, and enjoy the blessings of everyone. How can there be such a good thing in the world! He thought for a while, then snapped his fingers, "Yes!"According to the regulations, first, those who have no wives can marry at most two Soviet wives, but half of their family property must be divided when they divorce, so as to prevent women from playing with women in the name of marriage, and finally abandon them; With the consent of the wife, you can marry another Soviet wife, and you have to share one-third of the family property when you divorce, the reason is the same!" After finishing speaking, he grinned.

Jiang Jingguo couldn't help laughing immediately: "Which wife in the world would easily agree with her husband to add another sister to her? Weiguo, this rule you made is really 'sinister'!"

Jiang Weiguo grinned: "I don't want a lot of Chen Shimei to appear in my army, so it's decided!"

Following Jiang Weiguo's ingenious regulations, thousands of Soviet women married Nanjing army officers and soldiers for a while (they must be young and beautiful, and no one will look at the old and ugly). Chinese nationality and the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens are much faster than those technicians, laborers, and officers and soldiers of the Yellow Russian Army. It can be called a shortcut. Under the pressure of life, this wave has intensified. One hundred thousand Soviet women married to China and married Nanjing Army officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers praised Jiang Weiguo: "The second son is so fucking kind! We came to the Soviet Union to fight, not only got honors, land, bonuses, And married a wife!" The troops on the front line shouted "Long live the second son" while busy with group blind dates.

Jiang Weiguo has always been "when someone praises, someone scolds." Sure enough, a large number of domestic defenders and old masters quickly launched a series of criticisms against him, claiming that he was "immoral", and bitterly claiming that "the Nanjing Army is degenerating" and the like.

Jiang Weiguo turned a deaf ear to this, anyway, he had already suffered enough scolding, he didn't worry about having too many debts, and didn't itch if there were too many lice, he knew it all.

After the war, there were too many things that Jiang Weiguo had to worry about. In addition to paying for the dead and disabled officers and soldiers, rewarding the officers and soldiers for meritorious service, and the rectification of the army.

The begging of the Soviet Union allowed the Nanjing Army to seize a huge amount of Soviet weapons and equipment, especially tanks, aircraft, and large-caliber artillery. Jiang Weiguo, who was used to living a poor life, was so happy that he wanted to jump on the roof and sing. Tanks, thousands of aircraft, thousands of cannons, and countless other weapons and equipment can naturally make the Nanjing Army even more powerful. Will produce and improve logistics by myself.

In the hands of Jiang Weiguo (that is, in the hands of China), there are currently seven major military industrial bases: Wuhan, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Qingdao, Jinan, Taiyuan, and Shenyang. It can be expanded. In addition, the eighth largest military industrial base must be established, that is, the Champion City military industrial base located in North Asia. Using Soviet machines and technicians, it will produce the weakest and most scarce military equipment of the Chinese army day and night. Tanks, planes, artillery and other heavy weapons.

Such a wonderful prospect made Jiang Weiguo happier and happier the busier he was, and he was elated and elated all day long.

In late May, Jiang Weiguo's good mood was affected because the Japanese came to him.

The Japanese came to Jiang Weiguo to claim the territory of Central Siberia that China promised to hand over to Japan in the original cooperation treaty.

According to the original Sino-Japanese cooperation treaty, after defeating the Soviet Union, North Asia was divided between China and Japan, West Siberia belonged to China, and East Siberia and Central Siberia belonged to Japan.

"Damn little Japan, come to collect debts now!" Jiang Weiguo was very annoyed, "Forget it, it's time for me to completely solve the problem of the puppet Manchukuo with those little Japan!"

Chapter 577 Great Harvest (1)

There were three Japanese representatives who came to China for negotiations: Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Aoi, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army Hayao Tada, and Chief of Staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army Iimura Aoi.

After learning that it was these three people, Jiang Weiguo immediately knew that Shigemitsu Aoi belonged to the "Pro-China School", Tada Hayao and Iimura Sui both belonged to the "Hehua School", and both Tada Hayao and Iimura Sui belonged to the Japanese Army .

As we all know, the two major military branches of Japan, the land and the sea, and the Japanese navy are generally pro-China and friendly to China at this time, while the Japanese army has no choice but to Disarmament, budget cuts, downsizing, political status, real power, and influence have all plummeted, and China has always been bitter about China. There are very few pro-China factions inside, and slightly more Chinese factions. "Cold and not hot" holistic attitude.

Right now, Hayao Tada and Yoshi Iimura, who came to China on behalf of the Japanese Army, are actually members of the Chinese faction. It can be seen from this that even the Japanese Army, which has the most stubborn attitude towards China, has no choice but to give in today, and dare not fight against China again. Hua is tough. After all, the strong combat effectiveness and brilliant results of the Chinese army during the Soviet War are obvious to all. The Japanese, who have always respected the strong and bully the weak, have to submit, even if the Japanese army has always been arrogant, arrogant, and contemptuous. China also has to be convinced.

In the final analysis, it is still the old saying that the hard fist is the truth.

Over the past few years, the attitude of the Japanese towards China and the Chinese has undergone a major change, almost a U-turn. In a decadent country, the Chinese are just an inferior nation. After the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese generally hated China and hated the Chinese. People's views on China and the Chinese people have become subtle and complicated. On the one hand, they reluctantly intend to "be friends" with China and the Chinese people because they have to obey the "sacred will" of the emperor, but they are definitely not sincere. At the same time, they question China and think that China It will drag Japan back, covet China, and secretly plan to invade China again, thinking that China is not qualified to be Japan's ally, only worthy of being Japan's colony or slave country. After this Soviet war, the attitude of the Japanese towards China and the Chinese It has been further changed, and more and more Japanese people no longer despise China and despise the Chinese, but are shocked and shocked, and then have a trace of admiration and respect, with more or less jealousy and anxiety, because The facts of Nanjing military use proved to the Japanese: China is actually very strong, and China is actually also strong.

Surprised, respected, jealous and worried, this is the mentality of the top Japanese government and the Japanese military towards China at this time. However, there is no "fear" and "fear" for the time being. In addition, some high-level Japanese military and political leaders still have "joy". mentality, they sincerely support China and Japan to turn enemies into friends, join hands, and form alliances. Therefore, China and the Chinese military are becoming stronger and stronger. They think this is a good thing for Japan, or it is a good thing for Japan. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so I feel joy.

——One of the reasons for this mentality is that the Japanese believe that no matter how strong the Chinese army is, it will not be able to threaten the Japanese mainland, because Japan is an island country, and the Japanese navy is far stronger than the Chinese navy. Even if China and Japan turn against each other again In the event of war, Japan is also invincible.

Mamoru Shigemitsu first went to Wuhan and was received by Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek told him that "Jiang Weiguo can negotiate with Japan on behalf of the Chinese government." Mamoru Shigemitsu knew this well, and he came to Chiang Kai-shek to say hello to Chiang Kai-shek. Yes, after all, Chiang Kai-shek is the supreme leader of China. If the Japanese personnel bypassed him and went directly to Jiang Weiguo, it would definitely not conform to the diplomatic norms.

Because of this, although Shigemitsu Aoi came to Wuhan first and then went to Peiping, Tada Hayao and Iimura Yu went directly to Peiping, and after Shigemitsu Aoi came, they went to Jiang Weiguo together.

In the conference hall of the North Parallel Camp of the Military Commission, Jiang Weiguo received the three of them with a smile.

Jiang Weiguo is full of confidence, because his army has won a great victory on the battlefield and has become stronger in Vietnam. The Japanese have to feel jealous, and it is impossible to raise prices in front of him.

Jiang Weiguo couldn't help but think of what Chiang Kai-shek said to Chiang Ching-kuo in the later movie "The Founding of a Nation", "If you can't win on the battlefield, it's useless to talk about it at the negotiating table." After a crushing defeat or returning home, Jiang Weiguo was about to bow down to the Japanese at this time, but the Nanjing Army won, so it was the Japanese who were arrogant and respectful.

"Mr. Jiang, once again we would like to express to you our most sincere respect and warmest congratulations to you, to the Chinese army, and to China! The victories and results achieved by the Chinese army and China through the Soviet war are really extreme Brilliant, great, and amazing! It can be said to be astonishing in the past and the present! It can swallow mountains and rivers! It can shine in the annals of history! It has to make us awe-inspiring and amazed! As we all know, China is a country that has been weak for a hundred years and is waiting to be rebuilt. The Chinese army is now strong It was also fought step by step in the flames of war. China and the Chinese army are indeed not easy! Although Germany is the first main force in the Soviet Union's war, China is the second and well-deserved second main force. However, even if It is the second main force. This test for China and the Chinese army is still extremely severe and arduous, full of hardships, hardships, hardships, and dangers. However, you finally created an unbelievable miracle! Not only did the enemy show no fear, but he also defeated the strong with the weak and turned the world around! Those epic and tear-jerking battles made the whole world know China and the Chinese people again. We are really happy, gratified, and happy. I am very fortunate to have such a great friend and ally as China..." Shigemitsu Aoi was eloquent and eloquent as soon as she came up, and her expression was so warm that it was almost flattering, and her words were so pleasant that it was almost flattering.

Jiang Weiguo smiled calmly and listened to Shigemitsu's eloquence. Although he knew that Shigemitsu was just flattering, he had to admit that those flattering words were really comfortable to hear, let alone the Japanese. He is very accomplished.

Tada Hayao and Iimura Aoi smiled very cooperatively beside them, and there was a bit of helplessness in their smiles. They felt that Shigemitsu Aoi was "so flattering, a little self-deprecating", but they didn't stop them. First, they were afraid of offending Jiang Weiguo, and second, What Shigemitsu Aoi said was the truth.

Shigemitsu Aoi talked for more than ten minutes before stopping, and then brought up the topic.

"Mr. Jiang, according to the internal agreement of the Allied Powers and the treaty signed when China and Japan formed an alliance, after the Allied Powers won the war against the Soviet Union, both Eastern Siberia and Central Siberia belonged to Japan!" Aoi Shigemitsu smiled, " Previously, your country had honored its promise to hand over Eastern Siberia to our country, and now Central Siberia is completely under the control of your country's army, when will your country hand it over to our country according to the treaty?"

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "Do you want it? Then you can take it now!"

Shigemitsu Aoi, Tada Hayao, and Iimura Yu looked at each other eagerly, and they all saw surprises in each other's eyes. They didn't expect Jiang Weiguo's attitude to be so happy.

The total area of ​​North Asia (Siberia) is about 1300 million square kilometers. After deducting the Outer Northeast, Tannu Wulianghai, and Beihai Lake (Baikal Lake) areas belonging to China, the total area is about 1150 million square kilometers. It is divided geographically into East, From east to west, East Siberia is between the Bering Strait and the Lena River, Central Siberia is between the Lena River and the Yenisei River, and West Siberia is between the Yenisei River and the Ural Mountains. , with mountains in the east, plateaus in the center and great plains in the west.

Jiang Weiguo and Hitler had negotiated a long time ago. In order to tie the Japanese to the Sino-German chariot and let the Japanese serve as pawns for China and Germany, China and Germany must provide enough benefits to feed the Japanese (of course, The Japanese will definitely spit it out again in the future), this benefit is a huge amount of territory, including two major parts, one is the eastern and central parts of North Asia, and the other is Southeast Asia and the entire Oceania south of the equator, and it is not ruled out that in the future, it will be divided into India, East Africa and other places were also allocated to the Japanese.

Undoubtedly, such a huge amount of territory can be described as longing and longing for the Japanese, because what the Japanese want most is territory and resources.

"Central Siberia belongs to you Japanese according to the agreement, so it belongs to you Japanese!" Jiang Weiguo was so bold that he didn't have the same penny-pinching style he used to treat the Japanese. "We will definitely give you what belongs to you. Naturally, you also give us back what belongs to us!"

Shigemitsu Aoi nodded again and again: "Of course, it's only right and proper!"

What Jiang Weiguo wanted was naturally the Chinese territory that was still under the control of the Japanese at this time, that is, Liaoning Province (Liaobei), Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province (Heidong), Tianjin City, Shanghai City and Taiwan Islands, among which the first three are the "land" of the puppet Manchukuo at this time.

In fact, speaking from a broader perspective, the Korean Peninsula and the Ryukyu Islands occupied by the Japanese are also China's, but they certainly cannot be taken back at present.

"When your country handed over the central part of North Asia to our country, the Chinese troops stationed in Tianjin and Shanghai will withdraw immediately, the Japanese government will announce that it will no longer recognize 'Manchukuo', and the Japanese army will also completely withdraw from 'Manchukuo' !” Iimura said.

Jiang Weiguo narrowed his eyes: "Where did the Kwantung Army retreat to? The Korean Peninsula? Japan? Or the Kanto Prefecture?" He smiled, with a contemptuous and menacing attitude, "Don't you want to continue to occupy the Kanto Prefecture?" That is Lushun Dalian area. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to "lease" the Luda area. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan, which defeated Tsarist Russia, occupied Luda in black and white land. After the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Japan forced the Beiyang government to sign a contract with it. The "Four Treaties of the People's Republic of China and Japan" extended the lease period of the Luda area to 99 years, that is, until 1997. After the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo, Luda was a "special territory" directly under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo headquarters, not a puppet state. The "land" of Manchukuo (historically, after Japan's defeat, Luda was occupied by the Soviet Union and was not returned to New China until 1955).

Both Iimura and Hayao Tada's expressions changed, and Iimura said with difficulty: "Due to its special nature, various historical issues and political and diplomatic reasons, the Kanto region cannot be generalized with 'Manchukuo'..."

Jiang Weiguo coldly interrupted Iimura Yu's excuse to bargain: "Stop talking nonsense! In a word, are you still paying it back?" He looked at the three of Iimura Yu with sharp eyes, "Listen to me, Luda District It is a part of Northeast China, and even more so, there is absolutely no room for bargaining! Today, it is impossible for China to allow other countries to occupy China's territory. This is not only determined by China's interests and dignity, but also It is determined by the strength of China and the Chinese army! If you don’t give me a happy word at the negotiating table, then I don’t mind letting my million-dollar army settle this matter with you!”

Akira Iimura and Hayao Tada suddenly turned into anger from embarrassment. They admitted that the Chinese army is now very strong and getting stronger, especially after the end of the Soviet War, countless Soviet weapons and equipment were seized, and their combat effectiveness has greatly increased. The record of repeated victories has made the Chinese army's morale strong, high in fighting spirit, full of high self-confidence and fighting spirit. Although the Japanese army is not afraid of the Chinese army, it is obviously very irrational to start a war with the Chinese army now. Murakami and Tada Jun were annoyed that Jiang Weiguo spoke so bluntly, it was a naked threat, and he didn't give them any face.

"Of course we will return the Guandong Prefecture to Zhao!" Shigemitsu Aoi hastily smoothed things over, "General Iimura is definitely not trying to shirk, but it will take time for the Kwantung Army to return the Guandong Prefecture. After all, there are too many and complicated things to deal with..."

"Oh, that's how it is!" Jiang Weiguo had a disbelieving expression on his face, "You guys have a lot of work, so you understand, understand.

Well, can I now conclude that your country is willing to return the Luda area together with the entire puppet Manchukuo to our country immediately? "

Kaoru Iimura and Hayao Tada both had sullen faces, but they didn't say anything against it, which was equivalent to acquiescing. Shigemitsu looked at Kaoru Iimura and Hayao Tada, and said with a smile on his face again: "Of course, of course, our country will combine Kanto Prefecture with The entire "Manchukuo" will be returned to your country immediately!" Before this negotiation, the Japanese high-level officials had already discussed the issue of Kantung Prefecture, although many high-level officials were unwilling to return Kantung Prefecture together with the puppet Manchukuo to China, but more The high-level leaders still hold a positive attitude. They clearly realize that today, Northeast China must be completely returned to China, and there is no discount. For the sake of longer-term and broader interests, it is worthwhile for Japan to make concessions at this time.

Iimura's pushback was just a temptation to Jiang Weiguo. Jiang Weiguo's extremely tough attitude completely cut off the hope of the Japanese, so he could only push the boat along.

"That's good!" Jiang Weiguo smiled. On diplomatic occasions, naturally, the tougher the better, the national interest must not yield an inch. Of course, toughness is called toughness with strength, and toughness without strength is nothing but hooliganism. A country in Northeast Asia.

In the final analysis, on the international stage, there are three reasons for others not to beat you. Either you are too strong to dare to beat you, or keeping you will do more harm than harm, and there is no need to beat you, or you Just a bunch of stinky shit, too lazy to get my hands dirty and hit you

"As for the two cities of Tianjin and Shanghai, there is definitely no need to say more!" Jiang Weiguo showed a natural expression, "Where should the local Japanese army go back? Stay as long as you want, and the safety of life and property is protected by Chinese law. We welcome them to continue to do business, work, temporarily reside or even settle in the local area.

How about it?is that OK? "

Shigemitsu Aoi smiled and nodded like a nice gentleman: "Of course there is no problem!"

"Then, let's talk about the Taiwan issue next!" Jiang Weiguo changed the subject calmly.

Kaoru Iimura and Hayao Tada suddenly changed color together, and Aoi Shigemitsu also showed a surprised expression.

"What Taiwan issue?" Hayao Tada asked in a deep voice, "Is there a so-called Taiwan issue?"

"Why doesn't it exist?" Jiang Weiguo said coldly, "Taiwan, which is Chinese territory, is now being occupied by you. Isn't that the problem? The Chinese territory is occupied by Japan. According to common sense, it can only be resolved through war, but, Today, the situation between China and Japan has undergone fundamental changes. China and Japan are allies, and they have also signed an agreement to exchange territories. The Chinese territories in Japan's hands will be exchanged and redeemed by China through the territory of a third country, isn't it? Taiwan? , of course it is the same!"

"Taiwan is different!" Hayao Tada retorted bluntly, "The issue of Taiwan's ownership is completely different from that of Manchuria, Tianjin, and Shanghai! Mr. Jiang, please don't secretly change concepts and confuse the public!"

Iimura said: "Mr. Jiang, I solemnly remind you that in the previous agreement concluded between Japan and China, the Taiwan issue is still pending discussion and is not included in the scope of territorial exchange!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "Anyway, you have to pay back sooner or later, so what's the difference between early and late?"

Tada Hayao sullenly said, "That's for the future! Anyway, at present, Taiwan is an undeniable Japanese territory!"

The talks lasted for more than an hour. Basically, the Japanese were relatively "reasonable" about the ownership of the Puppet Manchukuo, including Kanto Prefecture, and the two cities of Tianjin and Shanghai. They did not bargain or play word games. On the Taiwan issue, the Japanese have a very tough attitude and are resolutely unwilling to include the Taiwan area in the scope of the Japanese-occupied area exchanged to China.

Regarding this, Jiang Weiguo was not overly tit-for-tat. Of course he wanted to recover Taiwan as soon as possible, but he also knew that the Japanese were unwilling to give up Taiwan in terms of interests and psychology. Take it step by step slowly, don't act too hastily, it really won't work, at worst, it will be recovered by force in the future, anyway, China and Japan will have a showdown sooner or later, Jiang Weiguo knows this very well.

In addition, there is another focus of negotiation between the two parties, that is, the scope of central North Asia (Central Siberia). There are no problems in the east, west and north of central North Asia. The Sai River is the boundary, and the northernmost reaches the Arctic Ocean. As for where the southernmost point goes, the question arises.

The central part of North Asia is roughly like this from north to south: Northland Islands, Taimyr Peninsula, North Siberia Lowlands, Tunguska Plateau, Yenisei Mountains, North Asia Four Cities, West Sayan Mountains, Tannu Uliang Sea, Outer Mongolia.

The Japanese recognize that both Tangnu, Wulianghai and Outer Mongolia are Chinese territories. The border between China and the Soviet Union in central North Asia is based on the West Sayan Mountains. The south of the Lingnan is China, and the north of the Lingnan is the Soviet Union. If the central part of North Asia is handed over to Japan, the West Sayan Mountains should still be used as the boundary, and the north of the Mountains, including the four cities in North Asia, must be handed over to Japan.

Of course Jiang Weiguo disagreed. He firmly advocated that the four North Asian cities should be used as the boundary, that the north of the four North Asian cities belonged to Japan, the south of the four North Asian cities and the four North Asian cities themselves all belonged to China.

Regarding the ownership of the four cities in North Asia, China and Japan have very different opinions.

Of course Jiang Weiguo is justified. The four cities in North Asia were beaten down by the Chinese army with blood. They are Chinese territory. How can they be ceded to Japan?

The Japanese are suffering.

As we all know, North Asia is a desolate and bitterly cold place. The more north you go, the more desolate, and the southernmost place is a little bit better. Therefore, the essence of North Asia is in the south. For example, the original Siberian Railway in the Soviet Union is in the south of North Asia, close to China and the Soviet Union. National borders were built.

Previously, Jiang Weiguo gave East Siberia to the Japanese, but the Outer Northeast in the south of East Siberia (bounded by the Waixing'an Mountains) was included in the territory of China by Jiang Weiguo, so that although the Japanese got most of East Siberia, it seems that the area It is vast, and the resources are indeed very rich. In fact, there are places where birds don’t shit everywhere, and there is no city. Right now, Jiang Weiguo is going to do the same. The essence of Central Siberia is also in the south, which is the four cities in North Asia. Jiang Weiguo After taking away the four cities in North Asia, what is left to the Japanese is still a vast area, rich in resources, and a place where no bird shits. It is very difficult to develop and operate. Of course, the Japanese will have opinions.

Japan’s Minister of Finance (Minister of Finance) Kaya Konobu complained: “The Chinese handed over half of Siberia to us. It seems that the empire’s territory has greatly increased, and Japan has endless resources and development space. But in fact, Siberia This is a barren land, and the slightly better places are all in the south and have been taken away by the Chinese. As a result, what we get is an amazing area, extremely rich resources, but no cities, no railways, no people, no infrastructure, A barren land without modern civilization.

It is certain that after ten or twenty years of proper development and operation, East Siberia and Central Siberia will surely become Japan's treasure house and provide Japan with huge wealth. Wealth, on the contrary, requires us to invest a large amount of money, not only cannot feed back the local economy of Japan, on the contrary, it also drags down the local economy of Japan, which is simply a super big burden!"

Objectively speaking, among the three major parts of Siberia, the west is the best, because the west is the Great Plains, the terrain is very good, you can grow food, and there is also the famous large oil field in Tyumen (the recoverable oil reserves exceed 70 billion tons) As for the central and eastern regions, although they are also rich in resources, they are indeed not as good as the western regions. This is why Jiang Weiguo was willing to "temporarily hand over" the central and eastern regions to the Japanese.

The eastern part of North Asia and the central part of North Asia are known as the "Northern Continent of the Empire" among Japanese high-level officials. At the same time, it also has a not-so-nice nickname: chicken ribs.

Chicken ribs, there is no meat to eat, and it is a pity to discard them.

This shows the entangled mentality of the Japanese towards eastern and central North Asia.

Some Japanese high-level officials said very annoyedly, "I would rather not have Siberia, but Manchuria." It is indeed a barren land, but as long as it survives the most difficult development period, it will be the great treasure house of the empire in the future." "Just like Alaska.

Back then, the Russians thought Alaska was a useless place, so they sold it to the Americans for a mere $720 million, but the Americans didn’t think it was a good deal. Ward was also ridiculed by all walks of life in the United States, but Seward said, "If I buy it now, how many years later, our descendants will get huge benefits because I bought this land." Now the fact It has been proved that Seward's decision back then was correct!The same is true for the northern continent of the empire!The Chinese disdain it, and many of us don't understand it, but the facts will eventually prove that it is correct for us to abandon Manchuria and other places to exchange for the northern continent, just like the Americans bought Alaska in the first place! "

However, the Japanese still hope to obtain a ready-made city in the "Northern Continent" as a foothold.

Of the 16 cities in North Asia, 6 of the 5 in the east are in the hands of China (the only city in the hands of the Japanese is Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on Sakhalin Island), and the 6 in the west are naturally in the hands of China. If the 4 buildings in China are also in the hands of China, it will be too difficult for the Japanese to go to develop them, and there is not even a train station (the southern part of North Asia that the main line of the Siberian Railway passes through is in the hands of China).

After some bargaining, in return for the return of Lushun and Dalian by the Japanese, Jiang Weiguo reluctantly agreed to temporarily lease Krasnoyarsk, the easternmost of the four North Asian cities, to the Japanese for a period of 30 years.

The Japanese were very grateful for this, and then renamed Krasnoyarsk "Showa City".

Showa Castle, Taiwan Islands, and Sakhalin Island are the remaining Chinese territories that are still in the hands of the Japanese after this negotiation and territorial exchange. The situation of the three places is slightly different. And Sakhalin is on hold.
