Chapter 228: Jun Watanabe's New Idea
"How can we do this? Didn't we already send someone to find that Wang Meimei......
A monk cried out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's useless! Didn't you see that Yang Chen had also left?"
"So what? The monks of Great Japan will never be weaker than ......"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jun Watanabe: "Don't lie to yourself. According to the information we have gotten, Yang Chen is even able to fight against the seventh-order cultivators of the Hua Kingdom! We have only gone to two fifth-order, and we are not opponents at all! It is impossible to use strength, we can only exchange. ”
"That can't be exchanged!" The monk at the head looked solemn and said coldly: "It must not be exchanged! This is a fifth-order magic weapon, it is extremely precious, and it is a truly priceless treasure! And that mirror is just a secular national treasure, although before, it is also valuable, how can you exchange a priceless treasure for a valuable mirror?"
"That's right, why has China not been able to refine high-grade magic weapons? Because the knowledge that the Tang envoy sent from Huaguo was not complete at all, and there were not enough samples for reference analysis. Now that we have this fifth-order artifact, we can have one more sample, and the success rate of our research will be one point greater! Its value to Greater Japan is far greater than that of a secular national treasure!"
Watanabe Jun sighed softly: "That's why I said that you red deer, all of them are stupid, and you are going the wrong way at all!"
"Nani!Watanabe-kun, you have to explain this to us. Otherwise, even if you are a noble person with the blood of the Emperor, we and other metaphysical monks will not be able to settle down with you!"
There was also a monk next to him, who was already angrily shouting: "Watanabe-kun, even if you represent His Majesty the Emperor, you will absolutely not be able to erase the efforts of so many people with lofty ideals such as our senior monks! Could it be that those seniors are wasting state funds and must apologize for their crimes? This is absolutely unacceptable!"
The other monks also changed their faces.
The connection between the metaphysical world and the secular in Japan is far closer than in China. In fact, Japan's secular government has been doing its best to support the metaphysical community, and of course, in turn, the Japanese metaphysical community has been doing its best to help Japan in the secular world.
Compared with the Huaguo metaphysical circles where the face and heart are not in harmony, it is completely different.
But because of this, the Japanese metaphysical world has also been more deeply influenced by the world. Whether it is the metaphysical world or the secular government, all of them revere their imperial bloodline. For them, the representatives of the emperor meant a lot.
If the emperor's representatives deny the efforts of the Japanese metaphysical circles, then I am afraid that the big figures in the entire Japanese metaphysical circles will really have to apologize for their seppuku.
Jun Watanabe slowed down and said, "I'm not saying that the efforts of your seniors are worthless. I have always respected those who contributed to the great Japan. His Majesty the Emperor has no dissatisfaction. In fact, without the efforts of those predecessors, China's metaphysical circles would have been wiped out by the Chinese metaphysical circles long ago, and their contributions are indelible. But ......"
The faces of several monks became more and more solemn, and they all knew that the previous words were just words. Because according to the traditional customs of Japan, no matter how great a sin a person has committed in life, once he dies, then he immediately "becomes a god" and all sins are written off. Therefore, even if it is just for the sake of the stability of the Japanese state, it is impossible for Watanabe Jun to really wipe out these dead metaphysical monks.
Only after "but" is the real drama.
"But what?" said the monk in a deep voice. He came from the most mysterious shrine of Mount Fuji, the sacred mountain in Japan, which was one of the leaders of the Japanese metaphysical community, and he consciously represented the interests of the Japanese metaphysical community to face the emperor's representatives.
"But we have to admit that times have changed and the situation is completely different. Watanabe Jun said: "Now, with the development of secular technology, the metaphysical world is no longer as important to a country as before, so there is no need to take catch-up measures for the development of the metaphysical world. ”
"Don't you have to keep chasing?" Several monks looked at each other, all of them in uncontrollable shock, but at the same time, they were also a little ...... Relaxed?
"Yes, in the past, the strength of the metaphysical world represented whether the country could survive or not. The reason why Huaguo has declined to the point where it was before, and it can still rise again, is because their metaphysical background is too deep. But now it is different, and modern weapons have become powerful enough to surpass the monks of the metaphysical realm. Jun Watanabe:
"After all, the number of monks in the metaphysical realm is too small. Worldly weapons, guns and ammunition, tanks and artillery, as long as there are enough materials, can easily make hundreds of millions of billions, all of which have the same strength as ordinary level metaphysical monks. But how many monks are there in the metaphysical world? Huaguo is the largest number of monks in the metaphysical world, but can there be 13 million metaphysical monks in the 1.3 billion Chinese people?"
"Can't ......" The monks had to admit it, but they were not willing to admit defeat like this: "But at the high level, ......"
"Don't raise the rank, the low-level ones are not as good as modern weapons, but the high-level ones are comparable? A missile with an ordinary charge can kill at least one sixth-order monk, right? How many sixth-order monks are there in the entire metaphysical world? How long and how many resources does it take to produce a sixth-order monk? And the production of a missile only takes a few hours! What about the higher ranks? Is the seventh-order monk, eighth-order monk, and ninth-order monk comparable to nuclear weapons? At least the current nuclear weapons of the earth can destroy the earth many times. And all the high-level cultivators combined, can they destroy the earth once?"
"But the strength of the monk is more flexible, and modern weapons are also manipulative, and if the ...... of decapitation is adopted," the monk retorted, "Then modern weapons will not work." ”
"So I don't have the value of a monk in the metaphysical realm. Watanabe Jun said: "However, there is no need to pursue stronger and more metaphysical monks! Metaphysical monks only need to maintain a certain number to ensure that our army will not be affected by the enemy's metaphysical monks and cause modern weapons to fail." What's the point of having more? Anyway, in terms of quantity and quality, it is far inferior to Huaguo, and no matter how much China's metaphysical circles try to catch up, they can only defend themselves in this respect, and have no offensive power. You can't deny that, can you?"
“…… That's right...... But ......" the monks had nothing to say.
"Then why should we devote all our limited resources to the metaphysical world? It is enough to maintain a minimum of deterrence and self-preservation, and the rest is better to use all the development of secular technology and military power, at least that is more efficient!"
Several monks looked at each other, speechless, only feeling that their three views had been completely refreshed by Watanabe Jun.
However, the greatest feeling for the Chinese metaphysical community has become the consensus of the entire Japanese metaphysical community. Every Japanese monk, after learning the difference between the Japanese metaphysical world and the Chinese metaphysical world, is left with the idea of catching up at all costs.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Chinese metaphysical circles, the monks in the Japanese metaphysical circles are all eccentric madmen and turtles who have never seen the world. Because every monk who came to China was moving the resources of the Chinese metaphysical world to Japan at all costs. Even if those who are resources Huaguo monks don't look down on them at all, people in the Japanese metaphysical circles will all get their hands on them like treasures.
It's as if all the people in the Japanese metaphysical world are the embodiment of gluttony, and they have an endless greedy desire for all the resources of the metaphysical world.
This point has almost been deeply integrated into the souls of Japanese metaphysical monks and has become a part of their lives.
But today, they were suddenly told that it was not necessary to do so, that you just needed to maintain a certain presence.
Although the truth is correct, it is still not easy for them to accept it like this.
The monk at the head pondered for a long time and asked, "Watanabe-kun, is this idea your own or the emperor's intention?"
The question seemed simple, but Watanabe Jun pondered for a long time and did not answer.
The monk at the head knew that he had asked the key.
The key question is whether the emperor will allow the reduction of funding for metaphysics.
You must know that every emperor has spared no effort to invest in the metaphysical world, and it can even be said that it is at any cost.
At the time, Emperor Meiji preferred to eat only one meal a day and spend his resources on investing in metaphysics. As for the historical record that it was used to build a fleet that surpassed the Beiyang Naval Division, it is not entirely correct. It is true that half of the funds are used to build the fleet, but the remaining half of the funds are invested in the metaphysical world. It's just that because the metaphysical world has been invisible in history, it has not been made public.
In the end, after the Sino-Japanese War, the funds invested in the fleet were rewarded with satisfaction and even ecstasy for the whole of Japan, but the funds invested in the metaphysical world were almost wasted, and there was no result at all.
There is no way, the Chinese metaphysical world at that time had many times more advantages than the Japanese metaphysical world now. If it weren't for the lack of competition in the secular world, how could Japan take advantage?
But even so, Emperor Meiji's investment in metaphysics has not been reduced in the slightest.
So, is it true that the emperor of Japan loves his country so much, and he wants to be strong at all costs?
Of course not.
Emperor Meiji did this for only one reason, one that would never be said in public: he wanted to live forever!
That's right, he just dreamed that the metaphysical world could help him live longer.
Not only the emperor, but also those high-ranking officials and nobles in Japan, why did they also have no complaints about throwing money into the metaphysical world? There is only one reason, that is, they want to live longer.
That's why the monk asked. That's right, from the perspective of the whole strategy, it is actually necessary to reduce investment in the metaphysical world. But from the emperor's personal point of view, it was completely unnecessary, or even impossible.
Jun Watanabe said this, is it really authorized by the emperor?
In the end, he had no choice but to sigh, and although he did not say anything, the monk at the head already knew what he meant.
But his words made Watanabe Jun's expression complicated: "Anyway, you're right. So this time, I'm obligating to your request!"
