Chapter 1574 The Saigon Declaration (continued)
ww.x.om Chairman Liu Yimin was introduced at this time. One was that Liu Yimin had already prepared and would speak in more detail and with more evidence. The other was to let these heads of state know that the territory recovered by our army was from the defeat of the Soviet Far East Red Army.
It was taken back from the Kwantung Army. What we say and do depends on our strength. Our party and our army have this strength!
After listening to the translation, President Roosevelt first said: "General Liu Yimin is a legendary invincible general in the Anti-Japanese War. His deeds have been reproduced in major newspapers and radio broadcasts in the United States. Strictly speaking, the reason why we can sit here for a meeting is because General Liu Yimin led his troops bravely.
The result of hard work. The future attack on Japan will require more efforts from General Liu Yimin. Personally and on behalf of the United States of America, I believe that General Liu Yimin is fully qualified to speak at this conference."
President Roosevelt expressed his stance, and Churchill naturally agreed. In any case, Churchill is one of the most outstanding politicians of this era. It is precisely because of his leadership that Britain stands firmly at the forefront of the anti-fascist battlefield.
It withstood the bombing and attacks of the German invaders. However, Churchill raised a question, that is, when will the CCP prepare to hand over Hong Kong to the British government, because Hong Kong was leased by the British and the lease has not yet expired.
Stalin did not express any objection, which was equivalent to acquiescence. He also wanted to see Liu Yimin's level.
Liu Yimin stood up and saluted Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek and Chairman one by one, and then said respectfully: "Dear President Roosevelt, respected Comrade Stalin, respected Prime Minister Churchill: thank you for allowing me to speak in such a solemn ceremony.
It is my honor to speak at the meeting. If what I said is wrong, please criticize and correct me based on historical facts and international practices in handling territorial disputes."
What he said is very principled, that is, he must be refuted based on historical facts and international practices in handling territorial disputes. He must be fair and cannot quibble or quarrel.
Liu Yimin first answered Churchill's question, which meant that it was impossible for China to hand over Hong Kong to the British for management. There were three reasons: First, the treaty signed by the British and the Manchu Qing government on the concession of Hong Kong Island, the treaty on the Portuguese concession of Macau, and the establishment of a concession in China by the great powers.
The concessions were all unequal treaties imposed by the colonialists on the Chinese people. According to international laws and practices, all unequal treaties should be abolished. Secondly, when the Nationalist Government declared war on Japan, it announced the abolition of all treaties signed with various countries.
All unequal treaties. This decision is in line with the world trend of peaceful development, democracy and justice, and should be supported and affirmed by all countries in the world. Third, the United States and the United Kingdom have just announced the abolition of all unequal treaties signed with China and gave up all privileges in China to encourage
The people of the Chinese government rose up in the war of resistance and contributed to the world anti-fascist war. Now, the ink on the declarations of the United Kingdom and the United States has not yet dried, and the Chinese army has just wiped out all the Japanese invaders. It is unnecessary and inappropriate for the United Kingdom to raise the issue of the Hong Kong lease again.
The people should think of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force who sacrificed their lives in the tropical virgin forests of Myanmar in order to cover the retreat of the British army. This comradeship in taking bullets for the British army must not be mixed with any attempt to continue to bully China. Therefore, Hong Kong has never
The lease was canceled the moment the Chinese army regained it. Hong Kong belongs to China. Please ask Prime Minister Churchill, the British and great statesman who has made outstanding contributions to the world's anti-fascist battlefield, not to mention this matter again, so as not to hurt China and Britain.
The friendship and affection of the Chinese people. Of course, Hong Kong is an open island. The Chinese government welcomes citizens from the United Kingdom, including those from all over the world, to come to Hong Kong to do business and run enterprises, cooperate together, and achieve common prosperity under the premise of abiding by Chinese laws. The Chinese government and
The military will indeed protect the legitimate rights and interests of foreign nationals.
Liu Yimin's words were beautiful, polite and well-founded, and he also stated his stance on the peaceful development of Hong Kong and the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of foreign citizens in Hong Kong. Therefore, during his speech, the attaches from our party and the National Government who attended the meeting continued to
The crowd applauded enthusiastically, and even Chiang Kai-shek and the Chairman could not help but applaud several times.
Churchill was a genius at speaking. He wanted to interrupt Liu Yimin several times and argue with him. But what Liu Yimin said was indeed reasonable and humane, and he could not argue. In the end, Churchill had no choice but to express his willingness to discuss Hong Kong and the concessions in China.
We will conduct in-depth negotiations with the foreign affairs department of the Nationalist Government on the issue.
Chiang Kai-shek immediately expressed his welcome to the United States and Britain, proceeding from the overall situation of anti-Japanese and international anti-fascism, to abolish all unequal treaties signed with China. He appointed Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui on the spot to quickly organize a negotiation team to start negotiations with the United States and Britain to reach an agreement as soon as possible.
After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, Liu Yimin asked Chen Yun, who was in charge of the conference affairs team, to submit the prepared materials to the heads of state for review.
Compared with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and the others, Liu Yimin has an obvious advantage, that is, he came from time-travel. He studied military history intensively before time-travel, and he has a very clear understanding of the whole story of the loss of the Far East territory. After time-travel, Liu Yimin was determined to fight with the Communist Party
The red country came. Therefore, he wanted to make up for the shortcomings of history, so he quietly asked Huang Wei to encourage "Wen Wei Po" to establish a military forum, and then there was the Japan-Soviet Far East War. He knew that the Soviet Union was a big country
, a powerful country, although it temporarily signed the "Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality" with Japan in order to avoid a two-front war, it was all a dead letter. When the Soviet Union defeated the German devils with the cooperation of Britain and the United States, after being trained on the battlefield, the Soviet Red Army with advanced equipment would never
It will sit back and watch the Far East be lost, and will inevitably declare the agreement signed with Japan invalid. Even if our army now takes back these homelands, the Soviet Union will not give up. It is very likely that a war will break out between China and the Soviet Union. There is no way, that is a large territory,
There was an eagle head on the original Russian double-headed eagle flag. Stalin was so domineering, how could he allow the Far East to be lost from his hands? These things must be made clear at international meetings. It is best to formulate something written and iron-clad, so that there will be no worries.
Because of this consideration, Liu Yimin paid great attention to collecting information. Especially when our army occupied Peiping, Tianjin, Shenyang, Changchun, Shanghai and other places, Liu Yimin transported the archives and information he could collect back to the logistics headquarters for storage and cataloged them for future use.
It was urgent. No, as soon as she heard that Stalin was coming to attend the meeting, Liu Yimin knew that she was not here to discuss how to defeat the Japs, but to talk about the issues of Northeast China and Sakhalin. Unexpectedly, Stalin also included the Kuril Islands.
Okay, just solve it together.
Stacks of archival materials were brought up, including maps, treaties, announcements from both sides, and notebooks of participants in the negotiations at the time. The most precious thing was the original maps of all dynasties that Liu Yimin found in the basement of the Peking Library.
Liu Yimin first took out the maps and briefly narrated the origins and changes of the Xirong, Nanman, Beidi, and Dongyi ethnic groups in China starting from the Zhou Dynasty. He also talked about the brief history of the development of Donghu in Beidi represented by the Xianbei people.
, talked about the origins of the Mongolian people and the living conditions of their descendants, the territorial establishment and grassroots political power establishment in the Northeast during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the history and changes of the garrison. It even talked about the history of the rise of the Russian nation, and finally talked about Russia's eastward expansion and the Manchus
The conflicts between the Qing regime and the massacre of Chinese people in the northeastern region, including the Ming Dynasty, the approximate number of residents of Sakhalin Island during the Qing Dynasty, and the situation of Dongzhu and Haidongqing in the palace are explained one by one with the help of data.
There is a lot of content, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as vast. However, Liu Yimin spoke standard Mandarin and was fully prepared. He spoke in a clear and logical manner. Chairman and Chiang Kai-shek nodded repeatedly. After the translation, Roosevelt and Churchill
, Stalin also heard it clearly.
The massacre of Jiangdong No. 64 Village and the expulsion of the aborigines of Sakhalin Island, which was caused by Russia's eastward expansion. These are all first-hand information. Moreover, these information were originally stored in Chita, the central city of the Soviet Far East. Our army learned from the Japanese army
It was seized in hand and now it has become the most solid and powerful evidence.
By the time Liu Yimin reached this point, everyone in the conference room knew the ins and outs of the Far East Territory, which was equivalent to a vivid lesson in the history of Russia's invasion of China.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yimin began to talk about how to deal with the disputed territories in the Far East and China after the establishment of the Soviet Union. Stalin and Molotov were the decision-makers on these matters, and they were very clear about it.
Liu Yimin obtained not only records of contacts and negotiations between the Beiyang government and the Soviet Union, but also Soviet newspapers that published Lenin's instructions and two statements by the Soviet government. There were also large-scale Soviet purges of Chinese cities in the Far East seized from police stations in various cities in the Far East.
Detailed information about the aborigines. Behind the strings of numbers are bloody stories.
Stalin's face was black and blue, and he was about to get up in arms and walked away.
Liu Yimin finally expressed his views: "Fellow heads of state, I believe that the above historical facts are very clear to everyone. I have said so much, and the core meanings are as follows: 1. Before the signing of the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" between China and Russia, the current Urals of the Soviet Union
The Edom area is all Chinese territory, and people from several ethnic minorities in China live there. Some of them even became emperors and civil and military ministers in Chinese history. They also gave birth to great poets like Li Bai who are household names all over the world.
It can be said that for China, the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" between China and Russia is an unequal treaty imposed on the Chinese people by the Tsarist Russian invaders and should be abolished. The Soviet Union should return these traditional territories. 2. Sakhalin Island,
The Kuril Islands have been Chinese territory since ancient times. It is untenable that Comrade Stalin said that Russian explorers were the first to discover Sakhalin. This can only show that when Russia expanded eastward, its level of civilization was still low, and there were few people who were literate and did not know about China.
The development history of five thousand years of civilization. Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands belong to China. Our army's liberation of Sakhalin is to recover the lost land. Third, the people of Outer Mongolia have given up their independence and returned to the family of the motherland. The sovereignty of Outer Mongolia naturally belongs to the Republic of China.
All. The Soviet Union has no right to reach any agreement with Japan on the ownership of Outer Mongolia. Fourth, considering respecting historical facts. After our army destroyed the Kwantung Army, our party has repeatedly stated to the Soviet government that our country is willing to use the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk" to
As long as the Soviet Union recognizes the validity of the national boundary delineated by the Sino-Russian Nerchinsk Treaty, we will report it to the National Government, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will negotiate with the Soviet Union to redraw the national boundary and transfer the territory occupied by our army to
The land that originally belonged to the Soviet Union was returned to the Soviet Union, including the Kamchatka Peninsula. 5. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in China, the Soviet people were the first to extend a helping hand to China. The Soviet aid aviation team and Chinese pilots fought against the Japanese invaders.
, blood stains the blue sky. The Chinese people will always remember the kindness of the Soviet Union and the people of other countries in the world, and are willing to live in friendship with the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom and other peoples of the world for peaceful development and common prosperity and progress. 6. Since the Opium War in 1840, the Chinese people have suffered
were invaded by foreign powers and plunged into dire straits. For the independence and liberation of China, generations of Chinese people have fought against the aggression and fought endlessly, throwing their heads, blood, and lives at all costs. Until now, the Japanese invaders have been annihilated.
, China’s war of resistance has been victorious. The next step is to eliminate the Japanese Army in the South and force the Japanese government to declare unconditional surrender. We have defeated the Japanese devils, will we still be willing to accept any country to occupy China’s territory in any name? The answer is yes.
Yes, I will not accept it to the death! At worst, we will just have to fight another war of resistance. The Chinese people are not afraid! If the major powers are unwilling to join China in continuing the war against Japan, China has the confidence and determination to rely on its own strength to force Japan to surrender. However, after the war,
China has the final say on Japan’s political situation, territory, maritime rights, etc. Other countries have no right to interfere! I have finished speaking, thank you all!”
Chiang Kai-shek, the chairman, took the lead in applauding, and the accompanying participants from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party behind him continued to applaud. Even Chen Yun and Luo Ronghuan clapped their palms so red.
There is no way, Liu Yimin has studied the history of Russia's eastward expansion so thoroughly, even more thoroughly than Stalin and Molotov, who were born in the revolution. And his final statement is very firm. For the sake of the country, China will not hesitate to fight again! It is very impressive!
President Roosevelt stated that the United States of America has publicly declared that it recognizes the undisputed sovereignty of the Republic of China over the territories in the Far East delineated in accordance with the Treaty of Nerchinsk between China and Russia, including Sakhalin Island and the Kurile Islands.
Churchill stated that judging from the available information, the Far East and Outer Mongolia have been Chinese territory since ancient times, and the Republic of China has unquestionable sovereignty over these territories. The United Kingdom of Great Britain has issued a statement recognizing China’s sovereignty over the Far East, Outer Mongolia, and
Sovereignty of Sakhalin Island. It is hoped that China and the Soviet Union, in the spirit of unity and joint opposition to fascism, will conduct negotiations as soon as possible, delimit national boundaries through negotiations, and fight side by side against Japanese fascism, especially German fascism, at an early date.
The Soviet Union was indeed defeated in this battle. The Soviet Union made peace with Japan, gave up the territory of the Far East and Sakhalin Island, and recognized the sovereignty of Outer Mongolia as belonging to the Puppet Manchukuo. In addition, Liu Yimin provided a large amount of real and effective materials, and Stalin had nothing to say.
It can be said that we can only express our willingness to resolve disputes through diplomatic negotiations.
Because Liu Yimin spoke for too long, it was already night. President Roosevelt adjourned the meeting and will continue the meeting tomorrow to study the issue of continued war against Japan.
