"Prime Minister, China's fiscal revenue is very high, and the public fiscal revenue exceeds 150 billion U.S. dollars. However, there are many revenues in China that are not included in the fiscal revenue. I heard that their current arms trade uses another account, and the money will not Into finance. And there are so many government-controlled banks and large groups in China. As long as they need it, their government can raise a lot of funds from these places.”

"Ah."

Hideki Tojo frowned deeply when he heard Masaoyuki's words.

The most obvious gap between big and small countries is the total amount.China's population of [-] million is ten times that of Japan.Therefore, China's industrial scale is many times that of Japan.Looking at fiscal revenue, China's fiscal revenue is almost ten times that of Japan.

Look at private funds.

Not to mention anything else, the deposits of those large banks in China are staggering.Top banks like China Bank of Communications and China Commercial Bank have deposits of nearly 500 billion RMB.These deposits are a direct manifestation of Chinese private wealth.The development of China's economy is accompanied by the growth of private wealth.

The difference in economic scale is also directly reflected in the military.

At present, Japan's military expenditure is less than 40 billion U.S. dollars, which is more than double that of Japan's finances, which puts pressure on Japan's finances.On the other hand, China's annual military expenditure can easily reach tens of billions of dollars, and its finances can still support it.

This is the gap.

"Not to mention the money problem, China has solved the problem in the north and started to reach out into Southeast Asia. The white-eyed wolves of Thailand and Myanmar are really unfamiliar. Are they going to withdraw from the Myitkyina battle? Before that, China had already started to put its troops into Vientiane, the largest city on the Mekong River, and this time they are joining forces with Thailand and Myanmar, what are they going to do?"

"In this world war, everything is cheaper for China."

Gu Zhengzhi sighed.

grandma's.

They killed and killed so many casualties, but the benefits they got were limited.But China, the damned one, has always been a warmonger because the snipe and the clam are fighting each other for the fisherman's profit.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the world war, it took advantage of it.

"Yeah. How much territory China has gained in the north. The territorial dispute with the Soviet Union is over, and everything that should be obtained has been obtained. Now that the north is stable, they start to think about how to gain benefits from the south. They want central and northern Vietnam. It covers an area of ​​[-] square kilometers, and it is a great plain suitable for human habitation, so we are not afraid of supporting them to death. Now we are starting to extend our hands into Thailand and Myanmar.”

"Prime Minister, you can't ignore it like this."

"Yes."

In the Battle of Myitkyina launched this year, Japan failed.After fighting for half a year, Myitkyina was not captured, so it had to be withdrawn and repaired.At this time, Japan needs the support of these countries in Southeast Asia.

But now China is intervening to make these countries alienated, how can this be possible.

Hideki Tojo thought for a while and said, "Foreign Minister, you send someone to contact the United States and tell them that as long as the United States recognizes our country's interests in Southeast Asia, including Illian Island (New Guinea), the Solomon Islands, and the United States promises not to Build a military base in the Hawaiian Islands. Then our country can give up Midway Island, can not attack Australia, and can end the war.”

"Prime Minister, we want to cease war with the United States? Germany will not agree."

"Continuing to fight with an industrial powerhouse like the United States is of no benefit. Enough is the best result. Our purpose is to force the United States to sit on the negotiating table, not to fight them desperately. You find a negotiation channel and tell the United States what we mean Pass it on from the top."

"Yes."

"As for Germany... Forget it, don't tell them. Contact the United States first, and see the attitude of the United States before we talk about it."

"Yes."

Gu Zhengzhi walked out immediately.

Although the United States and Japan are at war, the two have not completely closed the door to negotiations.For such a big country, there will be certain channels for negotiation between each other.

Even if it is not official, there will be some private channels.

"Send a telegram back home to get Base Camp ready for a massive landing. Get ready for a second Pearl Harbor."

After Gu Zhengzhi left, Tojo Hideki spoke to his secretary immediately.

"Yes."

Hideki Tojo wanted a truce with the United States, but instead of begging for their consent, he wanted to force them to agree.Now the US surface ships are seriously damaged, and more importantly, the Pacific Fleet has not been able to replenish.Therefore, in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese navy has an absolute advantage.

Hideki Tojo wants to land a large force and slowly control the Hawaiian Islands, in order to force the United States to make concessions.As long as there is a truce with the United States, Japan can concentrate more power and compete with China for leadership in Asia.

"Chairman, a telegram from Nanjing. Vice Chairman Li (Li Jishen) and Prime Minister Bhamo have finalized the final terms of the 'China-Myanmar Cooperation Agreement'. Vice Chairman Li sent a telegram asking for instructions from the Chairman."

"Finished?"

"Yes."

Duan Xun stayed in Nanjing for 12 days.

On September 1941, 9, the Asian heads of state participating in the Asian Joint Conference jointly issued a statement.In fact, there is no substantive content, and it is almost the same as before, with the same purpose.After all, everyone has different interests, and with the obvious differences between China and Japan, it is impossible to discuss the substantive content.Can only make some general statements.

But still the same.

Since the Asia United Conference is organized by the Asia United Organization, its purpose will not change.That is, Asian countries oppose colonialism, support the independence movements of Asian countries, and support the national liberation movements of Asian countries.

Although no substantive content was reached, at this meeting China and Japan, as the leading countries, still proposed to respect the history and culture of various ethnic groups and support the liberation and independence of various ethnic groups.Statements have even been made regarding the handling of sovereignty issues in some multinational states.That is to respect the wishes of all ethnic groups. Some areas where ethnic groups gather can choose their own future through referendums.

This is the common need of China and Japan.

Why do you say that?

Because both China and Japan have places under their control in Southeast Asia.For example, Japan now controls Kalimantan and Malaysia, while China controls Sumatra.Neither China nor Japan wants to give up these sites, but there is no good reason.It is impossible to say that you are anti-colonial and at the same time colonize these places.There's nothing like that to say.

So a referendum was adopted.

Once it is confirmed, it can be said later that these places are merged into Japan, or merged into China, not because China and Japan want to annex or colonize.It is the will of the peoples in these areas, which is decided by their referendum, and is the future they choose.

Of course, Duan Xun has more ideas.

That is, Duan Xun still has to consider the post-war issues.At present, China seems to have a bright future, but after the war, it will inevitably become the target of public criticism.After all, in this war, China has offended a large circle of great powers.At that time, India, a major country in South Asia, will definitely become a big problem.In the future, India will inevitably receive the support of Britain and the United States, and even the support of the Soviet Union, allowing India to compete with China.So Duan Xun had to take some precautions in advance.What is the biggest problem in India, that is, the main ethnic group does not occupy an absolute advantage.On the contrary, those ethnic minorities in India, who are said to be ethnic minorities, actually have a very large population.They each occupy a place.

This is because India has never been a geographical term, and division is their normal state.

In the future, it may be possible to use such means to suppress India.That's why the Asian Joint Conference put forward such a proposal, allowing some ethnic gathering areas to choose their own future through a referendum.

Originally, Japan also hoped to establish a new military cooperation organization during this meeting.That is to form an Asian joint force under the Asian joint organization to help Asian countries gain independence and stabilize the situation in Asia.The proposal was passed.

But how to form this joint force, the command of the force, the organization of the force, and the use of the force cannot be done within a few days.Therefore, everyone decided that Asian countries would send people to continue discussing this issue.

Discuss the joint force's command structure, organizational structure, and the scope of application of the force.

Japan is more anxious about forming a joint force.

This is not for this army, after all, what is the use of such a joint force.What Hideki Tojo and the others want is to use this joint force model to firmly tie Asian countries to their side.

Duan Xun did not object to Japan's proposal because Duan Xun also supported it.

Of course, it is not the current support, but the future support.Duan Xun hopes that in the future, the Asian United Organization will be able to form a peacekeeping force just like the United Nations.Of course, Duan Xun didn't think about what to do with this army, but to increase the status of the Asian United Organization.Increase China's position in Asia.

After the final statement of the heads of state was issued, Duan Xun left Nanjing.As for the many remaining issues, they will be handed over to the people below.

"You can simply report the specific content."
