The premise of the negotiations is a ceasefire. The Royal Navy's Far East Fleet must not send its main force into the South China Sea, while the southwest government must stop increasing troops to the China-Myanmar border.

This is a deformed confrontation between the Army and the Navy, which should not have been the two major arms of the opponent at all, but at this time it has become a collision weight for both sides.

As with any previous negotiation, this is also a long-term negotiation, a month-long tug-of-war, and finally, the two sides reached an agreement in mid-May.

In the history of the Sino-British negotiations known as the "April Fools' Day Negotiations", the British had to admit the factual withdrawal of Hong Kong from Southwest China. In order to regain some face, the British had to negotiate something about the permanent trade of Hong Kong. right'.

The British side immediately ceased maritime operations and no longer had any direct military action against the Southwest. Of course, the stubborn British Bull will not give up all its benefits to make way for the rising Southwest. The British government has asked to sign the China-Myanmar Security Treaty with the Southwest Government to ensure that it does not actively invade Myanmar. At the same time, the British government strongly demanded the release of the captured British Royal Navy sailors and the army originally stationed in Hong Kong. In this regard, the British were particularly tough and resolutely refused to pay the astronomical ransom as in the Sino-Myanmar War. However, as a symbolic compensation, the British government promised to give Hong Kong permanently those warships parked in Hong Kong ports.

The Southwestern government quickly signed a security treaty to ensure that it did not invade Myanmar. At the same time, Li Zongren, the leader of the Chinese negotiating team, announced on the spot that these 'warships parked in Hong Kong' should be changed to water parks for free visit by Hong Kong citizens. It is conceivable that the British representative's face turned green on the spot.

The outcome of the negotiations is at least acceptable to both parties. The British were spared the threat of war on land and the security of the colonies was guaranteed. Southwest China has eliminated the scourge of war and is able to develop the economy with peace of mind and cope with the Japanese people who are eager to try.

The Japanese are different from the British. The British finally chose to negotiate because the distance was too far away, and Burma-India was the lifeline of the British Far East. The old empire needed these colonial resources and markets to support its huge family business. In contrast, Hong Kong seems trivial. The Japanese are ravaging the whole of China and even the whole of East Asia. Once their ambitions break out of the island, they will expand infinitely. Before the Northeast 917 incident, perhaps their ambitions were not so great, but the ensuing victory and the unbearable performance of the Northeast Army magnified their ambitions step by step, and finally hurriedly launched a larger-scale war.

The British's approach is similar to that of a robber. When he finds it difficult to grab something from you, and even fights a bruised nose and swollen face, he will choose to run away. The Japanese approach is more like an evil animal. When they smell **** and meaty Japanese animals, they will only become more crazy. Even if someone slaps them with a stick at this time, they will only bite the bark even more.

After the news of the victory of the peace talks came out, all the people in Guangzhou were empty. There was a sea of ​​flowers and red flags. The streets and alleys were hung with the golden dragon flag of the southwest government. After getting the consent of the authorities, the students lined up in a neat parade Hissing on the street celebrated the end of the war and the victory of the negotiations.

Guangzhou is a special city because of its proximity to the sea and its location in the southeast. From the moment the iron hoofs of foreigners stepped on China, it suffered various kinds of rampant. It can be said that Guangzhou is definitely China's reduction into a semi-colonial society One of the witnesses. Because of the humiliating past, when the news of the peace talks came, the city was full of sadness and joy.

When the results of the negotiations returned to Britain, the whole of London was completely angry. However, when the angry crowd was preparing for a larger demonstration, they heard the news that the Prime Minister had resigned from Parliament. The emergency parliament on the day agreed with Mike in principle. Downer's resignation request, and it is rumored that he will be replaced by Stanley Baldwin, who is about to usher in the third prime ministership. The old man who once served as prime minister twice in 1923 and 1924 has a considerable reputation in Britain. The cry, at least in recent years, has shifted the post between Prime Minister and McDonald.

And at this moment, McDonald, has been unable to clean up the mess after the war. Although Hong Kong is small, it is not a shame to lose it, but coupled with the military's defeat and the seeming failure of peace talks, this series of errors requires a very critical person to take responsibility. Rather resigned.

Before leaving Britain for South America, he said in a last long talk with an old friend: "The whole of Britain will not understand the significance of this peace talk, they will only demand victory and victory. And if I order They said no at the negotiating table, then, the final result will be unimaginable. The great sun never settled, the citizens have not learned to accept defeat, especially against opponents they are not familiar with. I bet those outside Most of the people who are going to participate in the demonstration will not know where exactly Southwest China is. God, in their opinion, Britain must win the war. In their knowledge, the Chinese are not the new modernization of the armed forces of aircraft cannons and aircraft carriers. The army, instead, still holds cold weapons and fights against the sharp British forces as it did decades ago ... "

Compared to the celebrations in major cities in China, Chiang Kai-shek seems to have some complex moods. As the leader of North China, he absolutely hopes that this nation will triumph in the face of foreigners, but people in the southwest should not let this happen. Honor, if he can win, it will be a great thing.

After a week-long struggle, he finally made up his mind to make a phone call to Chen Cheng, who was in Pingjin. The content of the phone call was simple, but he changed his usual style, and what he said was not like he always did. The routine even made Chen Cheng think that the principal had encountered something particularly unexpected. "Resignation. Recent information shows that the Japanese may launch a landing operation behind the Ning Jin defense line. You would like to mention it to Han Qing. Let him pay attention to keep enough troops and strengthen the rear defense line. Well, do n’t wait and see if it changes. If the Japanese really launched a landing operation, your 18th Division must firmly block it. In addition, your position may be moved recently, Pingjin After all, this area is my important place in China. I am going to send a central elite to go. You have to bear greater responsibilities. Remember, not only can Zhang Shusheng in the southwest be able to fight, our party-state is not a breeder who is afraid of death. Our party-state is also a talent. Jiji. "

When he put down the phone, Chiang Kai-shek once again picked up the declaration in his hand, and the title above made him silent: Jiang Gong took a moment's notice, and the southwest one-handedly saved the country. "

Regarding the ups and downs of the butterfly wings constantly flapping, although Zhang Shusheng had heard of it, he didn't take it to heart. History will never fumble through the bumps and twists and turns as he remembers. He doesn't have much opinions about Chiang Kai-shek, but a politician's actions are all from the politician's standpoint. It is meaningless to say that he is wrong or that he is right.

Chiang Kai-shek is not terrible. The trouble is the Kuomintang political system, the territory he controls, and the army.

After the news of the peace talks returned to the southwest, Zhang Shu grew relieved.

In the new Sino-Burmese war, he was far from ready. The Southwest seems to have become rich in recent years, but it is in a comprehensive layout and has invested heavily in all aspects, especially in science and technology, industry, people's livelihood, education, medical care, and the military. In other aspects, the investment is particularly large.

What he needs is a China that has been rebuilt from scratch, rather than letting this mess take its course to develop after the war, which is absolutely impossible. As future generations, I know the importance is important. Some things that are not related to the national economy and the people ’s livelihood can be saved if they can be saved. Governments may have buildings, but they strictly control their budgets. As for office cars, he has made three orders and five applications. Since 1932, governments at all levels have always used jeep to travel and work, and middle and high-level governments can only purchase the most ordinary Chinese cars to travel and work.

Whoever is extravagant and who is laid off, whoever violates the rules, will be subject to extremely severe dereliction of duty. He really understands that the inferior nature of the Chinese people, once they can't stop the bad wind and evil spirit at the beginning, then history will definitely repeat itself, and anti-corruption and honesty should be grasped from this time when the regime is still in the era of dolls.

On the one hand, it is extremely economical, and on the other hand, it is devoting itself to industrial and scientific research fields. Zhang Shusheng is not ready to fight the British in Myanmar, let alone India farther away. However, if the British did not know whether to live or die, if they forced the southwest to the absolute road and blocked all the sea trade routes leading to the southwest, Zhang Shusheng would have to issue a war order.

As a result, he was very satisfied. Although Southwest did not receive huge financial gains, it recovered Hong Kong and consolidated the government.

It was another weekend, and there were not many people on the streets of Kunming. Many people gave up their single holiday and chose to go to factories or units to work, so that they could earn an extra day, but also produce more products and do more things. , In line with the "Southwest Government" initiative advocated by the Southwest Government,

Jiefang Avenue is the most prosperous street in the center of Kunming. It has witnessed the miracle of economic development in the southwest. Under the rule of the Southwest United Autonomous Government, Kunming has become the most economically developed place. The second is the Dongchuan Hi-Tech Zone. Dongchuan City, which was established on the basis of Lishuping Technology Center of the year. However, with the implementation of various policies and increased investment, a series of emerging cities represented by Guangzhou, Fangchenggang, Chengdu, and Chongqing have begun to emerge, and they are gradually modernizing and even surpassing Kunming.

A bus came from a distance and stopped at Jiefang Avenue Station.

The door was opened. A young man in a black suit shirt and a black hat jumped out of the car first. He was very young and full of modern urbanity. In this era, such a dress will make a man look attractive, but not too flashy and high-profile.

The face of the young man under the black hat revealed an intimidating momentum, but it seemed to disappear in an instant, as if the young man in front of him was just a small peasant.

Then, a beautiful young girl in a small white dress with a small top hat came out of the carriage. The young man turned around and took her hand to get out of the car. They were very loving. Although the dress of the two is very trendy, in Kunming City, the same fashionable dress is also not a minority.

"Hee hey, shall we go to Jiefang Shopping Center?"

"Everyone listens to you, my wife, you are in charge of everything today."

If there is a senior Southwest official here, the man must be recognized, Zhang Shusheng, the highest leader of the Southwest. It is unbelievable that he actually took He Ning out for shopping on a single holiday.

He Ning happily embraced Zhang Shusheng, and half of his body leaned on him. "Wow, I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally I can let my big husband, who is devoted to big business all day, accompany the young woman out shopping.

Zhang Shusheng couldn't help crying and laughing. He Ning really tangled him for a long time. He was busy with government affairs. He had been running at home and the government on both ends. Except for inspections in various provinces, he was too busy to spend the night with He Ning. Lu Yunyan is better, often using the position of confidential secretary to accompany business trips.

Although in the impression that all leaders should be living in absent-minded and simple, and the whole family lived in a cage-like life, Zhang Shusheng was not willing, what he wanted was a real life.

Jiefang Mall is the largest mall in Kunming. To Zhang Shusheng's future generations, Jiefang Mall at this time is more like a large supply and marketing cooperative.

The entire Jiefang Shopping Center has only two floors, but the area is very large. For the sake of safety, the door is very large. At this time, it is a single holiday. In addition to some couples to buy homes in the mall, more elderly people or couples bring The little tortoises come to buy delicious and well-dressed.

Zhang Shusheng stood quietly for a while, and people passing by were neatly dressed. At least he didn't see any particularly tattered clothes with many patches. He could smell several brands of soap and even shampoo from the crowd. Even the air is filled with the smell of several brands of perfume. The men straightened their waists, and just looked at the energy and energy, and they saw a lot in their pockets. Today they are coming to sweep a pile of goods. He is very happy, because it shows that the standard of living of the general public is gradually improving, Kunming can do it, and other places can do it.

Just entered the mall ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The lively atmosphere reminded Zhang Shusheng of his childhood when his mother took him to the market. The same crowds of people, the containers were either placed or hung with all kinds of goods. There are daily necessities as small as matches, lighters, soaps, sickles, kitchen knives, cutting boards, etc. There are also sweets, fruits, seasonal vegetables, and hydrogen balloons hanging around that are attracting children's eyes, even He Ning is standing in one In front of the container selling balloons, Zhang Shusheng's hand was turned back.

"These balloons are all new products. Look, girl, this one is pink, which is just right for you. Look, others hold it too." The salesperson at the counter smiled and pointed at some couples holding balloons to Zhang Shusheng in the distance. They said.

Zhang Shusheng saw what He Ning wanted and wasn't too embarrassed to speak, and nodded her nose. "You, I'm afraid I will grow up after being a mother, buy, we buy two." After paying the bill, 3 cents a balloon is really cheap.

"Good." Holding the balloon line, He Ning shyly shoves another small hand into Zhang Shusheng's big palm, touching it slightly. "Yeah, there's a clay figure over there, let's go and see."

Zhang Shusheng then followed her and walked for a long time, not as relaxed and happy as today. It was so easy to come out once, and he would not know if there was any accident, but he knew that he was really relaxed.
