    At the Caoshan Residence, the official residence of the President of Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek, as usual, wore a traditional Chinese robe and mandarin jacket. He stood in front of a rose garden in the rose garden of the official residence and looked at a plum blossom attentively. Whenever he felt tired or flustered at work,  At that time, he would go to the garden to watch plum blossoms and orchids to express his mood and calm his emotions. Chiang Kai-shek, who had always been rigid and rigid, loved plum blossoms and Taiwan's phalaenopsis orchids. After being driven to this island, he fell from the pinnacle of power in China.  When I'm in a trough, I always have the heart to "strive for self-improvement" and "recover the mainland". Therefore, my love for plum blossoms is more of a feeling of appreciating things and clarifying my ambition.  Although he retreated to the isolated island of Taiwan, he still compares the plum orchid to the deep valley jungle. Although it grows with the wild mugwort and weeds, it still retains the demeanor of a humble gentleman and the noble spirit of a noble scholar. Chiang Ching-kuo walked over uncharacteristically and walked quickly.  Chiang Kai-shek called out from behind: "Father."  Chiang Kai-shek may have been too immersed in watching the plum blossoms but was startled by Chiang Ching-kuo's voice. He frowned and said, "What are you yelling about?" "Father, the Japanese Retsu Kawada is here as Japan's special envoy. Asking to see him.  You want to talk to you about Sino-Japanese relations. Jiang Jingguo couldn't help lowering his voice and said softly. "Oh," Chiang Kai-shek responded and paused for a while before saying, "Why is Japan suddenly talking about Sino-Japanese relations now?"  ?" "There is something in Kawada Retsu's words that it seems that the Japanese government took the initiative to talk to them about the peace treaty. He came to Taiwan to inform us about the situation." Xiao Jiang replied cautiously. "Yes." Chiang Kai-shek's right hand was unconsciously on his own.  He touched his bald head here and there. After a long time, he put down his right hand and said, "I don't see him. Let Chen Cheng talk to him first and find out their true purpose." "Yes, I will inform Chen Cheng right away." After Jiang Jingguo finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.  He was stopped by Chiang Kai-shek. ¡°Jingguo, is there any news on the Korean Peninsula?  "Chiang Kai-shek asked with concern. "No. At present, neither the Communist Party of China nor the United Nations have made any big moves. The US military is replenishing and resting south of the 37th parallel. After the battle, the Communist Party of China only made some mutual adjustments.  , and are not moving forward. The South and North Korea are fighting each other along the 38th parallel. I have informed our ambassador to South Korea and asked him to report any new information immediately.  "Chiang Ching-kuo replied. Chiang Kai-shek withdrew his gaze from the flower garden, turned around slowly and asked, "How is the situation on the other side?" "They are expanding airports in Fujian, Guangdong, Shanghai, and Qingdao. According to our intelligence personnel there,  They bought some advanced MiG-15 aircraft from the Soviet Union in the name of the Korean War. But I don¡¯t think they will pose a big threat to me in the short term, because training a jet pilot is not an easy task.  I don't think it will take less than a year to form combat effectiveness. Unless they use the Soviets." Chiang Kai-shek shook his bald head and said: This is unlikely. The Soviet Union is too busy in Europe now. If it can help, then we can help  Where is **?" After saying that, he slowly walked towards his study room thoughtfully.  At 10 o'clock in the evening, Chen Cheng took a summary of the day's meeting with Japanese special envoy Retsu Kawada and presented it to Chiang Kai-shek.  Chen Cheng reported to Chiang Kai-shek the entire negotiation process today. Retsu Kawada said: The Japanese side now wants to sign a Sino-Japanese peace treaty with them. This time, they came to inform us and wanted to hear our opinions. I said, the Republic of China  The government represents China's orthodox government and has led the war of resistance for eight years. How can you sign a Sino-Japanese peace treaty with Japan? Even if you sign it, the international community will recognize the legality of the treaty. But Retsu Kawada said that Taiwan can only be regarded as  The local government is not the central government, and China and Japan cannot sign a peace agreement. Although we have deep feelings between us, we have to consider the emotions of the 470 million people on the other side of the mainland. If Japan is willing to give up its claim, they  I have to sign a contract with the Japanese government." "These damn Japanese are just taking advantage of the situation." Chiang Kai-shek knocked on the table lightly and said angrily: "It's really unreasonable. The government of the Republic of China is the only legal government in China. For a long time, we have  They have always been repaying kindness with kindness and being lenient towards Japan. They are pushing their limits. They want to gain greater benefits from cross-strait conflicts." Chen Cheng hurriedly said: "The principal is wise, and the students think this is the purpose of Retsu Kawada's trip." Chiang Kai-shek locked eyes.  Frowning, thinking for a long time, he sighed deeply and said: "We are facing the military threat from Japan and the abandonment of friendly countries, the diplomatic crisis of recognizing the bandit and puppet regime, and the situation of the Korean War is now confusing. It is difficult to see the next step for the United States and Japan."  What do you want to do? It¡¯s so difficult!¡± ¡°Yes, Japan¡¯s ambition is obvious. If they sign a contract with Japan, our situation will be even more difficult.¡± Chen Cheng said. ¡°It doesn¡¯t make much economic sense for us to give up war compensation against Japan.  It can be reduced or completely abandoned as appropriate." Chiang Kai-shek touched his smooth head with his right hand and said: "We have taken the initiative in international relations by making peace with Japan. It is conducive to isolating Japan internationally. You can talk about rhetoric.  Don't lose to the Japanese in politics and diplomacy, just grasp this principle" Retsu Kawada, the special envoy of the defeated country, played Chiang Kai-shek around in Taiwan for more than two months. In the end, Chiang Kai-shek had to press Japan's  human stepsGo on. People say that selfless people are fearless. For the benefit of his own party, Chiang Kai-shek signed a "Sino-Japanese Contract" with Japan and gave up the claim for war against Japan. Retsu Kawada took this document one month earlier than in history.  The <Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty> returned to Japan happily after more than 10 years. There is a peaceful and neat alley on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street near Dongdan, Beijing.  In the middle of the alley.  There is a complex of buildings with a long history, a solemn red door, and a majestic stone lion on the left and right sides.  The Chinese-style bungalow on the west side of the entrance is the reception room.  A combined Chinese and Western building with upward cornices forms the main building, the east building.  This used to be the Prime Minister's Office for Foreign Affairs of the Qing government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang government. Now it is the seat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China. In the negotiation hall on the east side below the main building, representatives from China and Japan sat discussing the issue of Japanese war compensation.  The two sides have been arguing fiercely and have been at war for two days. Li Dawei proposed based on the compensation clause in the draft peace treaty drafted by China: The Chinese government requires the Japanese government to immediately pay 120 billion U.S. dollars in inter-state compensation to China and 1,800 U.S. dollars to the Chinese people.  100 million U.S. dollars in national compensation claims. On this basis, the "Sino-Japanese Friendship Treaty" was signed with Japan. The two sides announced the end of the state of war and established formal diplomatic relations.  Japan initially moved all the equipment of Japanese steel companies such as Nippon Steel Company, Nippon Steel Pipe Company, Kobe Steel Company and Kawasaki Steel Company to China, Shanghai, Ma'anshan, Tangshan and Taiyuan, worth 5 billion; Japanese shipbuilding companies such as Kawasaki and Mitsubishi  Heavy Industries, Ishikawashima Harima Heavy Industries Shipyard in Yokohama, Japan, Kawasaki Shipbuilding Company, and Mitsui Shipbuilding Company moved to Dalian, Guangzhou, and Shanghai as a whole, equivalent to US$5 billion; dismantled 6,000 lathes, 3,000 milling machines, and 3,000 planers from the Japanese equipment manufacturing industry  3,000 grinding machines and 2,000 boring machines, equivalent to 200 million U.S. dollars. Considering the food problem of workers in these enterprises, the Chinese government decided to hire these workers and engineering and technical personnel with high salaries. At 100 U.S. dollars per person per month, the income of these workers and engineering and technical personnel  The wages are deducted from the compensation and paid by the Japanese government. The Chinese government and people fully consider that Japan cannot be self-sufficient in food. The Chinese government is responsible for providing food and accommodation for these Japanese workers while in China. In order to encourage Japanese workers and engineering technology  personnel, the Chinese government and enterprises will give them a certain amount of bonuses every month based on their work performance. Japanese negotiator Ichiro Takashima insisted that Japan has compensated China. China has confiscated all Japanese property in China and committed suicide.  From January 1948 to September 1949, China sent a total of 22 ships to transport back 12,504 boxes of compensation equipment, measured in tons.  The Chinese representative refuted the Japanese representative's statement: "Japanese property in China is the result of Japan's plunder of China. It belongs to the Chinese government and people and cannot be counted as Japan's property. It cannot be counted as part of Japan's claim.  Like a robber who robbed your things and hurt your people. After he was caught, he returned the stolen things to you. Can this be considered as compensation to you by the robber? What was transported back between 1948 and 1949?  tons of compensation equipment is only worth US$22.5 million. Can these US$22.5 million compensate for the damage caused by Japan's 14-year invasion of China? According to the estimate of the Compensation Committee of the Kuomintang Executive Yuan at that time, China's wartime losses were calculated based on the prices at that time.  , no less than 62 billion U.S. dollars, and the compensation materials China received were only worth 22.5 million U.S. dollars, which accounted for only 30,000 U.S. dollars. Can this be considered the entire compensation? According to the different views of the two sides on the draft peace treaty drafted by China, the negotiations have reached deadlocks many times.
