China's disease is milder.

That's all.

Gu Weijun also knew better that 1933 meant a lot of things to the empire. The imperial central government had decided to make efforts to reverse the difficult situation of the entire world economy and significantly increase its holdings of foreign debts from Britain, the United States and other countries, thereby promoting the restoration of world trade and financial order.

stability.

If this can be done effectively, the empire will completely become the world's largest economic power this year.

Because there are no exact economic statistical standards in the international world today, only China and the United States have cooperated to establish this modern national GDP and M0\M1\M2 review statistical system to establish a relatively macro statistical analysis of the national economy. Therefore, Japan

We cannot figure out exactly how strong China is, nor do we recognize how strong China is.

In this case, it is almost impossible to engage in diplomacy with Japan based on the strength of both sides, because Japan has long measured the strength of its country by military force. A strong military force means strong national strength. This is their logic

, So in their opinion, Japan is stronger than China because Japan has more main battleships.

Many years later, we will feel that Japan's ideas are problematic, but it is a recognized fact in this era.

When it comes to economic scale, the economic scale of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China was very large, and they were not like birds. They were beaten and could not even recognize their parents and ancestors. This also shows that Japan's idea actually makes sense, but it is too extreme.

As the foreign minister of the empire, Gu Weijun is very familiar with this, so when he heard Muye Shin-hyun say the first thing he knew today's negotiations would be difficult.

Gu Weijun thought carefully for a long time before choosing a very straightforward way to say to Makino Shin-hyun: "Mr. Insider, although the incident of our Navy sinking two cruisers is a bit too much, and it is not me*

The orders of the Ministry and the Emperor, but you attacked first, which caused our patrol planes to be unable to return. I think this matter should not be taken into consideration. You apologize, let's apologize, and this matter will end first.

You don't have to compensate the plane, and we have no intention of compensating for warships. Let's just regard it as unlucky. If you have a neighbor like Japan, we have a bad luck. If you have a different evidence like our country, you are unlucky. What I am talking about is vernacular and very realistic.

, there is no water or diplomatic hiding."

Makino thought for a while and replied very seriously: "First, the report submitted by my ** department clearly stated that your country's attack was first, and our navy was just a self-defense and warning. This matter has been reported publicly in my country. There are also clear reports from all countries around the world, so your country should apologize first; second, if your country does not compensate the warships, then ask your emperor to apologize in person, or the emperor appointed a special envoy to our country to apologize."

Gu Weijun smiled and said sarcastically: "Why?"

Makino looked more and more serious, and replied righteously: "This is the basic truth!"

Therefore, diplomatic work will kill people. People who are not obsessed with a big stomach and are not patient enough must not be diplomatic officials, especially those who work like the foreign minister. How much tolerance is required to take responsibility?

Gu Weijun continued to ask with a smile: "Mr. Secretary, don't you feel guilty when you say this?"

Makino looked silent, and his expression was still serious and hard.

Gu Weijun could only sigh again and said, "As the foreign minister of the empire, I have had frequent exchanges with your government and the civilians in your country over the years. I know you very well, so I know something very well.

It’s nonsense to talk to you. I just want to remind you here, don’t just regard the 65 million people of your Yamato nation as humans, but treat our 470 million people as slaves, don’t just regard the dignity of your great Japanese empire as great.

But if you only want to safeguard your interests and dignity, and do not take our interests and dignity seriously, war is a matter of time sooner or later, and it is better to fight early than to fight late.

”

The animal husbandry body showed no humility and no arrogance and answered: "External Minister, please forgive me for reminding me that threats and ruthless words cannot solve the problem. The real reality is that our navy has twice the strength in the Pacific region, if

If you really want to fight this war, it will be more unfavorable for your country."

Gu Weijun sneered and said, "The Chinese government still proposes that way. You apologize first, and we apologize. If there is any dispute over the whole story, then keep the disputes of each other. It is better than going to war directly. As for compensation for warships, we

There is no such plan, the central government has financial difficulties, and there is no such much money. Both sides apologize, Japan and the Netherlands suspend all disputes, and you do not need to compensate the Dutch Navy for the losses, and promise to recognize and maintain the status quo. The three countries settle down and make peace.

Let the small things be changed, and the storm will end. If you must compensate, then on the basis of your compensation for the aircraft and Dutch destroyers, our country will compensate the Nagano-class cruiser at its discretion. There is no more

If you choose to start a war, then I believe that the scale of this war is definitely not as simple as a naval battle. You know very well in your heart why our country bought ownership of Jeju Island from North Korea. As for why our country retained southern North Korea

Here is the reason for you. China and Japan either don’t start a war, but if it starts a war, it will inevitably be a full-scale war. If you really want to fight a naval battle, you won’t feel sorry for all our warships. What kind of mentality do you have? I won’t

It's clear."

Makino Shin-sama said: "War is terrible, and everything will happen. In the end, it may not be as simple as you imagined. Your country should not forget the end of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. We are not arrogant.

, but hopes to remind your country that war is always unpredictable. Therefore, if China and Japan want to maintain peace, they must both make more efforts and costs. Of course, there are other possibilities in things, if China does not

Blindly helping the Netherlands and keeping neutral, our country will uphold a fair attitude to solve the problems of the Dutch Navy provoking and threatening our country. If the Netherlands transfers the ownership of Dutch Indonesia to our country, our country will continue to safeguard your country's Indonesian

All interests will not change any policies within ten years, and we are happy to jointly guard Indonesia with your country.”

Gu Weijun asked Makino Shin-hyun and said, "Guess why I met you in Nanura?"

Makino showed no doubt, but pretended to be modest and asked, "Please give me advice!"

Gu Weijun replied: "In the past twenty-two years, your country has used various means of sow discord against our country through the Governor's Office, spies and civil institutions, and the various means of sow discord in the North Korea in the north.

All kinds of secret training methods are enough to prove that Japan is not a trustworthy country at all. We give you the opportunity to jointly monitor North Korea, and that's the ending. Do you think we will give you another chance? Why should we stop you from attacking the Netherlands?

You seize Indonesia? The root of the problem is North Korea. The situation in North Korea has fully demonstrated that there is no positive cooperation between China and Japan. The IQ of our Chinese is not low. The reason why we do not choose your methods is not because of us

Stupid, but we don't want to compete with you in the lower level. I think you can understand that the word "low" is the gentlest word we can use. You know what you have done best. The government is also good,

Whether it is a private organization, we are provoking discord and training North Korean spies to sabotage these things after all, all of which are done by you, the great Yamato nation. There is an old Chinese saying that is "A gentleman is close to a man, but far from a villain." We really don't want to continue to do so.

You have cooperated. Although the Netherlands has had many conflicts with our country on the Indonesian issue, at least it still follows its promises and will not cause fraud. Therefore, whether it is our country or the United Kingdom, everyone hopes to maintain the status quo.”

In fact, Gu Weijun doesn't like people who say things so directly and unpleasantly. If you hit someone in the face, Gu Weijun has always regarded himself as a humble gentleman, but he really has no choice. Japan is very strange. If you negotiate with him in a friendly manner, he will

You will feel that you are weak and easy to bully, and you will make all kinds of unreasonable demands.

In general, it was not suitable for war in 1933. This year was indeed too important for the empire, and it was very important for the empire's economy and the long-term development of the country. It was very important for the establishment of the Asian League and for the empire to improve the international environment.

Influence.

Therefore, the empire is now ready to go to war in full swing, but still hopes to end this dispute and crisis in other ways as much as possible. War is not scary. What is scary is just huge military expenditures. What is more regrettable than expenditure is to surpass Britain and the United States to become

The new world's number one power.

After hearing Gu Weijun's words, Muye suddenly burst into a strange laugh and said, "I didn't expect that your country has such a deep misunderstanding of our country. This is a private meeting between us. There is no meeting record, so of course you can do whatever you want.

Say what you want to say, but these words actually cannot solve the problem. Our country's goal is not to have a comprehensive or naval war with China, but to make final negotiations with the Netherlands on colonial disputes to avoid Japan and the Netherlands

Similar disputes arise in the Navy again. If we want to maintain peace in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, Japan must properly resolve all problems with the Netherlands. In response to this, if China and Japan apologize to each other, China promises not to be able to do so again.

Interventions in the subsequent negotiations of the Bandahai incident in Japan and the Netherlands, as well as other related matters, China and Japan can end the current special state and restore Sino-Japanese peace. Japan also promises to maintain peaceful relocation on the Korean Peninsula and will never support any organization to engage in illegal activities.

and things that go against the common interests of China and Japan.”

Gu Weijun simply replied: "The empire has considered formally forming a military alliance with the Netherlands."

Makino Shin-hye threatened: "Please think twice before your country. Affiliation with the weak cannot change the fact that the strong are justified above the ocean."

Gu Weijun ignored his threat and said, "That's how it is. China does not accept any unilateral attempt to change the status quo. The dispute should be resolved through peaceful negotiations between Japan and the Netherlands."

Makino Shin-sei said: "As the largest country in Asia, your country should support the cause of Asian countries and nations. Our country hopes to help Indonesian indigenous people restore freedom. Even if they cannot completely defeat them, Indonesians should also be in the

Japan and your country enjoy more autonomy under the protection of support and protection. If your country is unwilling to take risks and sacrifice its own interests to achieve this, then it should support our country and should not interfere even if it does not support it."

Gu Weijun sighed and said, "What's the point of saying these self-righteous words? The current situation is very simple. With Japan's commitment to comply with the status quo, negotiations can be carried out, just how to talk about the final way of handling it, if

Japan's decision to change the status quo, so there is no meaning to negotiations."

Makino seems to think that he is already the most rational person in the Great Japanese Empire and keeps the farthest distance from fascist militarism expansionism. Even so, he heard Gu Weijun's tough and barbaric attitude on behalf of China.

I wish I could support the navy immediately to smash the Chinese navy.

He was cynical in his heart, that kind of Chinese is the kind of Chinese.

He thought that if Japan had such a vast territory, resources and population, it would have dominated the entire world long ago. Therefore, there was nothing terrible about China, but fate prefers them more.

The reason why Saito Mi asked Makino Shin-hyun, the inner minister, to negotiate with China was because Emperor Showa had already secretly expressed his desire to break out of a large-scale war against China. Although Makino Shin-hyun is an anti-fascist cabinet official,

Japanese bureaucrats, however, did not want to express the meaning of Emperor Showa to Gu Weijun directly, hoping to seek more national interests for Japan.

On the other hand, Makino Shin-sama seems to "China has no respect for the great Japanese Empire. If you still express this meaning directly, it will only make the other party look down on the empire even more."

There are many problems between China and Japan, but the biggest difficulty in diplomacy is the difference in positioning between the two sides. Japan believes that it is a powerful world power on par with Britain and the United States. Even Britain and the United States are afraid of their military strength and need to do so in diplomacy.

Continuous military concessions. For example, during the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, the United States made many concessions to Japan, and China is just developing towards the level of Britain, the United States and Japan, and cannot be regarded as a world that can be on par with Britain, the United States and Japan.

The first-class power.

It cannot be said that Japan has such a judgment that it is completely unreasonable. After the First World War, France, Germany and Italy basically failed. The Japanese Navy was treated second only to Britain and the United States in the Washington Naval Treaty, which itself shows that the international world is in line with the

Japan is "very respectful".

Power is axiom. China's judgment standard is that national strength determines everything, while Japan unilaterally believes that military strength determines all this.

From the perspective of Japan, China's true resumption of independence was also a matter after World War I. Before, even colonies such as Hong Kong and Macau could not be recovered. To this day, a large number of so-called international new areas have been retained; although China's economic scale is large, it is mainly because

Thanks to its huge population and vast resources, rather than population quality and industrial level, its so-called modern industry is funded by foreigners and foreign capital, and its industrial strength is not as good as Japan's - this is Japan's view.

China's perspective is different. In China's view, Japan is a small country with only a navy and military force. It does not have the strength of a country that really fights a full-scale war. It has scarce resources and low population quality. The level of science and technology and industry are in the world.

Even second-rate industrial countries in Europe, such as Italy and Sweden, are not as good as those in Europe.

China cannot recognize that Japan is an equal world power. Otherwise, Japan requires equal sharing of Asian interests. How can China answer?

What's more, Japan does not deserve this qualification.

Under such a contradiction, Gu Weijun and Muye Shin-hyun could not reach any agreement. The two sides had to negotiate secretly for three hours, and they could only communicate the basic requirements of each other without any other

The results are obvious.

...

London.

In recent days, important leaders and economic experts from all countries have gathered in London to attend the international economic conference. In fact, all countries are very clear that if you want to revive the global economy, you must first solve the exchange rate problem of international currencies. As long as the international exchange rate stabilizes, you will be able to stabilize the exchange rate of international currencies.
