From the perspective of Britain and the United States, Japan is definitely a world power that cannot be ignored. This is determined by the quality and scale of Japan's naval. Once Britain and the United States intervene in coordination and China also agrees to this coordination, many things are not something that China can say

It's the final say.

This requires real bargaining and negotiation.

At China's suggestion, the talks were transferred to Singapore. Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, Japanese Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida, US Secretary of State Corder Hull, British Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon, Dutch Governor-General of Indonesia Sir Halifax,

French envoy to China Gaston Dumeg has led diplomatic teams to Singapore one after another. China and Japan continue to actively prepare for war. The navies on both sides will break out in large-scale naval wars between Palau and Taiwan at any time. The Netherlands and France will also send

The fleet arrived in Indonesian waters.

China and France are military alliances and are extremely close. When China and Japan go to war, France will inevitably send troops to participate in the war.

As France's attitude became tougher, China also clearly launched a full-scale war. Coupled with the pressure from Britain and the United States, Japan became obviously particularly tragic.

Japan is indeed very pitiful, and this is Japan's fate. As long as China becomes stronger, Japan, which wants to compete with China for Asian leadership, is destined to be a tragedy.

Japan has always relied on Britain to fight against China and the United States in the past. When Britain was strong, there were too deep contradictions between Japan and China and the United States. With the decline of Britain, Japan would inevitably expand to the outside world if it wanted to continue to develop. Going north is the entire China.

The empire went south to the sphere of influence between Britain, the United States, China, France and the Netherlands. Except for Indonesia controlled by the Netherlands, Japan had no other development direction at all.

Even in the distant Africa and the Middle East, Japan cannot find any foothold.

Although the contradictions and differences between China and the United States have been expanding over the past few years, especially as China penetrated into South America to expand its economic interests, the relationship between China and the United Kingdom has improved accordingly, and China, the United States and Britain have been in the process of expanding economic interests.

The stance of competing and interconnectedness throughout the world is becoming clearer and more obvious.

The three major powers themselves have no ideological differences. Although Britain and the United States are common Anglo-Saxons, the contradiction between the former and current hegemons is the most severe, and China adopts a foreign policy of clever strength and maintains good relations with Britain and the United States.

Cooperation relationships, and maintain distance, maintaining a balance between Britain and the United States.

Therefore, between the struggles between these three major powers, it is very difficult for Japan to make profits.

Japan now has no support from Britain. In fact, Britain not only no longer supports it, but instead actively suppresses it to break the existing order. China, the United States and Japan are the old enemies for half a century, and they offended the three most powerful people in the world at the same time.

The pressure from the country and Japan can be imagined.

Throughout September 1933, the entire Japanese society, from top to bottom, from the emperor to ordinary civilians, was filled with extremely sad and angry hatred, but anger could not solve the problem. The reality was cruel, and history was also not only committed to complying with the Rotterdam Agreement.

There is no choice outside.

God can live if he commits evil, but man can’t live if he commits evil!

...

During the Singapore Conference, Song Biao had ended all his visits in Europe, traveled from Lisbon to Canada by boat, and arrived in New York in late October 1933.

Before visiting the Americas, Song Biao and Prime Minister McDonald of England issued the Sino-British Joint Statement. Britain officially apologized for its mistakes during the Opium War and agreed to return the cultural relics looted from the Old Summer Palace collected by the British Museum, except for some special ones.

Cultural relics must be transported back to home and abroad, and most of the cultural relics will continue to be collected in the British Museum.

This basically puts a sentence on the past and contradictions between China and the UK. The UK officially recognizes ** as Chinese territory, recognizes Kashmir as China's protection territory, and China supports the maintenance of a stable exchange rate between the British pound and the China round.

Promising to resume free trade, lower tariffs to pre-Depression levels, and give each other the most-favored-nation treatment.

Commitment is not a simple sentence, which means that China will significantly increase its holdings of British debt, maintain the stability of the pound, and at the same time expand the internal market, allowing British financial capital to further influx into China's investment, and China-UK trade has also re-taken the pound as a calculation.

unit.

This is a high-risk thing, because the UK's trade deficit determines that it is difficult for it to continue to restore the gold standard, which means that the pound has lost its hard currency status in the past and may continue to depreciate at any time, and China wants to expand its presence in the Commonwealth.

Market trade and investment must increase their holdings of pound debt and assets in large quantities.

Song Biao continued to visit Canada and Australia to expand the agreement of the Sino-British Joint Statement to the entire Commonwealth and expand China's total trade volume within the market for returning to the pound.

The United States is very dissatisfied with the agreement reached by China and Britain, but the triangular relationship between China and Britain is already very fixed, and no one can shake it unilaterally, and there is also the common enemy of Japan in front of us.

Poor Japan, how did you get into such a field?

By the way, Japan is also very glorious. After all, not every country can become the common enemy of the three world powers of China, Britain and the United States.

Under such circumstances, Song Biao continued to visit the United States.

China and the United States are no longer as harmonious as they were ten years ago. There are many problems now, especially in the South American market. China's strength has expanded very well. During the entire Great Depression, China almost alone through

The way of significantly increasing holdings and investing in South America stabilizes the economies of South American countries such as Brazil and Colombia, so that they will not fall too badly in the Great Depression, and in this process, the trade volume between China and South America also expanded.

China quickly replaced the United States and became the largest exporter of industrial products to South America.

China and the United States are so similar.

Industry is very similar, agriculture is also very similar, and even education is very similar, because China originally studied in the United States.

Especially during the five years of the Great Depression, China's industrial products not only further improved in quality and variety, but also improved the scale and management capabilities of domestic enterprises rapidly, and their technical level also greatly improved.

By 1933, China and the United States had basically overlapped in industrial products and scale, and the total trade volume between China and the United States also declined sharply. In the past, it was the Sino-Japanese economic and trade war, but now it has gradually evolved into the Sino-US economic and trade war.

In this year, the United States began to mention the issue of technology transfer and blockade, requiring restrictions on China's technology transfer, and at the same time restricting Chinese companies from holding American companies. President Franklin Roosevelt is very tough, and he is indeed active.

implement legislation in this regard.

It was under such circumstances that Song Biao visited the United States.

Although Song Biao arrived in the United States accompanied by Queen Shu Xuan, he knew very well that the secret struggle between China and the United States was already very fierce, and the two countries were starting new competition for the seat of the world hegemony, and Britain might not be able to do so.

Excluded from this competitor's list.

The intensity of the conflict between the United States and Britain lies in the European debt issue, while the contradiction between China and the United States is a more difficult-to-reconcile world factory competition. Fortunately, China and the United States are both focusing on the domestic demand market, and the competition between the two sides has not completely fallen into a white-hot spot.

In order to resolve the crisis as much as possible, Song Biao and Queen Shu Xuan carried out some warm diplomacy as much as possible. After arriving in the United States, the two first visited Kangzhou and Kangzhou Women's College, and held some open and kind-hearted and supportive spending in the United States.

The speech on the difficult situation was then met with President Franklin Roosevelt in Washington, DC. After that, the two went to the Glendale Meadow Cemetery in Los Angeles to commemorate President Theodore Roosevelt for thanking President Roosevelt for his friendship with China and China-US.

He made outstanding contributions and was awarded the title of honorary duke.

...

Singapore.

The meetings of the Seven-National State of China, Britain, the United States, Japan, Netherlands and France, hosted by Britain, the United States, and the Singapore Seven-National State of Australia have gradually come to an end. In the fierce debate, the final coordination result is actually not very beneficial to all parties, and there is inevitably some tendency of appeasement to Japan.

Japan was not held responsible for the voluntary sinking of Dutch warships.

A weak country has no diplomacy.

This guideline is not limited to Asian countries, but also applies to European countries.

The biggest loser of the Singapore Conference was obviously the Netherlands, and although it escaped a war, the colonies suffered large-scale cuts and rebalancing, it was inevitable.

Under the joint proposal of Gu Weijun, a foreign minister from the Empire, and Sir John Simon, the British Foreign Minister, the final result of the coordination of negotiations was that the Netherlands gave up the Bird Peninsula (the western peninsula area of ​​the Netherlands) and the Malugu Islands to Japan.

The Netherlands was paid approximately 7 million pounds in land purchase, British New Guinea, Central New Guinea, and Dutch New Guinea were merged into a Republic of Papian and custodian was entrusted by China.

The southwestern, southeastern islands, Moluca Islands and Sula Islands in the Banda Sea are included in the overseas provincial jurisdictions of Sulawesi, China pays 8.5 million pounds of land purchase to the Netherlands.

China and the United States reached an agreement to include the Sanyihe Islands between the Philippines and Sulawesi Province.

Since then, the Netherlands' colonies in Southeast Asia are only two large islands, Sumatra and Java.

According to the requirements of the agreement, countries are not allowed to deploy main ships in Southeast Asia, and the Japanese Navy can only maintain a military port in Solong Port in Southeast Asia.

Japan has obtained its dream new colony, but under the new Singapore Agreement that will be officially signed, all countries will re-adjust naval deployment in Southeast Asia to enhance military support in this waters, and China has been recognized by Britain, the United States and France.

, The Navy's restrictions in the Washington Naval Treaty have been greatly increased, the main ships can remain the same as Japan, and the aircraft carriers can remain the same as Britain and the United States. The United States has retracted some of its commitments to Japan in the Washington Naval Treaty and re-entered them in the Philippines.

Arrange naval and naval bases.

Through this "Singapore Agreement", countries have adopted a basically synchronized policy towards Japan to curb Japan's expansion to the south, but it also gave Japan some benefits. After all, rabbits are anxious and biting people. As for whether Japan can be satisfied,

It's unknown.

At the Governor's Office in the Straits Colony of the UK, the discussion of the agreement has officially ended. After the countries officially signed the agreement, Gu Weijun, a foreign minister from the Empire, received a public speech and delivered a summary speech on behalf of the countries participating in the meeting.

He personally wrote this speech manuscript, revised it several times, and wanted to say a lot, but he couldn't be too harsh.

The agreement has been determined, and will wait for the diplomatic systems of various countries to return to China to submit approval to the heads of state, which will officially take effect before May 1934. During this period, the Chinese Navy will also withdraw from the Sribaga Bay Naval Base.

Battleship, return to Sanduao Naval Base.

Gu Weijun walked up to the rostrum, opened the speech in the notepad and took a look again. Then he looked up at more than a hundred diplomatic officials from various countries in the conference hall, and said: "A famous modern Japanese thinker, Fukuzawa Yu.

Mr. Ji once said that every country has the right to make the country prosperous and the people happy. This is the right of every country. We all believe in the importance of this statement, but we should also understand that no country has

It is shameful to exploit and plunder other countries, and to make their country rich and strong by plundering the wealth of the colonies, and it is also anti-human progress. This is the consensus here, and our management of the colonies should be orderly promoted toward autonomy and the original.

The prosperity and prosperity of the region and its own country, and eventually become a modern nation.”

"We have always believed that it is also a well-known consensus that the establishment of the Commonwealth itself represents the progress of human society. This is the great achievement of the British. It is a good thing to create a modern country like Australia and Canada.

Good things we hope for. Humanity is always making continuous progress. If the outbreak of World War I was that countries such as Germany and Italy needed more colonies, then after we experienced this cruel and bloody war, we

It is becoming clearer that every country on this planet should be equal, as Jehovah and Sakyamuni guided, human beings are born equal, and everyone is equal, and inevitably, the country should be equal,

No country has the right to be higher than other countries, and is above all else, and is directing other countries with fingers. This is anti-human progress and will eventually be ridiculed by future people."

"There is an old saying in China that history is always fair. No matter what you have done before, even if it seems to be understandable now, because you can bully the weak by being strong. But decades later, even a hundred years later, yours

What you do will be regarded as an atrocities against humanity.”

“As the largest and most populous country in Asia, China has the responsibility to stop any kind of war and aggression in Asia, China has the responsibility to protect those small countries that have been already in power and allow them to govern the country according to their own customs and methods, and

It is not necessary to obey the arrangements of other major powers. China is also here to promise that we can protect our allies and those weak Asian countries. The Chinese keep their promises, as long as we promise to protect peace and stability in other countries and regions.

We will fulfill our commitments at all costs.”
