Chapter 3: Sisterhood and Childly Infatuation [Act 4] Maze (30)

"Oshima-kun is really polite. (hua.) However, Kato does not know much about the culture of the country, and I hope that you will continue to teach me in the future. Yoshio Kato knows that Hiroshi Oshima is not weak, and satirizing his previous diplomatic achievements is nothing more than relying on others and checking in vain, and it is not worth talking about at all. Moreover, Yuan Shikai did not accept all the terms of the "21 Articles" and ridiculed himself for being vain. But he pretended not to know what he meant, and calmly deflected the tone, "Therefore, I wonder what Oshima-kun thinks of the daughter of Lin Zhengdao who was hospitalized, and the Chinese students who were arrested by the Duyi Gestapo for this?" ”

Hiroshi Oshima didn't smile, but he mocked Yoshio Kato in his heart Finally, under his cross-examination, he had to change the topic, imitating himself to preemptively transfer the thorny problem to others, trying to clean himself up, but how can there be such a single? He borrowed the room light, took out an aluminum cigarette case from his bag, lit one of them, and spat a green cigarette at the other party: "Since Kato-kun humbly asks for advice, how dare I not teach it?" In my humble opinion, this matter still requires Kato-kun to make a hard trip to visit the woman in the Charité Hospital on behalf of the Japanese Empire. After all, whether the pro-Japanese government of China can merge smoothly is an indispensable part of it. As for the two Chinese students, they have their own Gestapo to help clean up, so why dirty your hands and mine? What's more, after Lin Zhengdao learned about the cause and effect of this incident, his face must be very good-looking. ”

Yoshio Kato's eyes lit up, and he secretly scolded Hiroshi Oshima for not only being cunning, but also shamelessly following his words, once again throwing chores to himself, and cutting off all the back roads with the strategy of "going up to the house and drawing ladders", so that he had nothing to do for a while. However, as the other party said, the purpose of visiting "Lin Jingru's" illness this time was actually to use her identity to win the loyalty of Lin Zhengdao and other pro-Japanese factions. It can also make Lin Zhengdao realize that his daughter is now controlled by the Japanese side, and if he dares to have two hearts, he will have to consider the sorrow of "separation of flesh and blood".

In other words, as long as we firmly grasp this chess piece, we will undoubtedly choke the throat of the pro-Japanese government, better implement the strategy of "using China to contain China," speed up the division of that vast and thousands of miles of land, and sweep away the current state of diplomatic decadence. &65288;&26825;&33457;&31958;&23567;&35828;&32593;&32;&87;&119;&119;&46;&77;&105;&97;&110;&72;&117;&97;&84;&97;&110;&103;&46;&67;&99;&32;&25552;&20379;&84;&120;&116; &20813;&36153;&19979;&36733;&65289;After it is occupied and digested, and the "Greater East Asia New Order" is established together with North Korea, Taiwan and other places[133], this will be a great and even unprecedented achievement! At that time, what was a mere Hiroshi Oshima!?

Thinking of this, Yoshio Kato turned his anger into joy, and then remembered the sentence mentioned by Hiroshi Oshima's friend Seishiro Itagaki on the phone a few days ago, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan", and for a moment I felt extremely relaxed, as if I had unloaded a load. He bowed to Hiroshi Oshima and strode into the meeting room.

"Scolding others 'red deer', in fact, he is an out-and-out idiot!" Seeing Yoshio Kato's back go away, Hiroshi Oshima removed the mask of a humble gentleman in the past, and laughed wildly on his back, "It's really as Shina said, 'pick up the bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks and scold the mother', if it weren't for the hard work of the six armies of the Japanese Empire to expand the territory and grab food, oil and other war materials, how can you ensure that your navy is well fed and clothed, start ships, and maintain the glory of the 'Nisshin War' and 'Rilu War' [134]?" Why bother to preserve strength for the sake of the 'northward expansion plan', and cease fire with Lu two days ago to end the 'Nomenkan conflict' [135]? A group of rat-eyed Tian Wu [136]! ”

Exegesis:

[133] On November 3, 1938, Japanese Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe issued the "Second Konoe Statement", calling for the establishment of a "new order in Greater East Asia", in a vain attempt to establish "Japan, Manchuria, and China to cooperate with each other and establish a chain of mutual assistance in political, economic, and cultural aspects", with the goal of "a new order of coexistence and common prosperity" in Japan, East Asia, and Southeast Asia.

[134] That is, the "Russo-Japanese War", which is transliterated in Japanese as "Lucia", or "Luguo" for short. From February 6, 1904 to September 5, 1905, the two sides fought a war over the Korean Peninsula and what was then Manchuria (i.e., Northeast China). The Russo-Japanese War led to Japan's military superiority in Northeast Asia and the right to garrison troops in Korea and Manchuria, which hindered Russia's expansion there. Ironically, the land battlefield of the Russo-Japanese War was Manchuria in the Qing Dynasty itself, but the Qing government was forced to declare neutrality and even set aside a special war zone for this war. The Japanese Navy fought four major naval battles: the Battle of Incheon, the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the Battle of Ulsan, and the Battle of the Sea of Japan (Battle of the Tsushima Strait), and the naval commander at the time was Heihachiro Togo. ）

[135] On September 16, 1939, although the Soviet army won a victory against Japan in the Battle of Nomenkan, it had no intention of expanding the victory. The two sides ceasered fire on 16 September, and Japan recognized the existing border to end the conflict. For details of the Battle of Nomenkan and the plan for advancing northward, see Notes [27] and [29] in Chapter 2, Act 3, "Disillusionment". Historical references: Wikipedia.

[136] Japanese: A hillbilly who has no knowledge. Hiroshi Oshima was born in Tokyo, while Yoshio Kato was born in Kagoshima, the southernmost part of Kyushu, which is relatively remote from Tokyo.
