Chapter 3: Sisterhood and Childhood Infatuation [Act 4] The Confusion (27)

Yoshio Kato hurriedly bowed goodbye to the Swedish minister, glanced at the young man, and said lazily: "Taniguchi-kun, what is it that makes you so excited?" Could it be that our Imperial Japanese Army has completely captured China? ”

The young man called "Taniguchi-kun" smiled. His name is Kunosuke Taniguchi, and he was originally a commercial attaché at the Japanese office in Finland. Due to his outstanding work, he was appointed Third Secretary of the Japanese Embassy in Germany three days ago. He replied in a Japanese voice with a Kansai accent: "Thanks to Kato-sama's Yoshiyan, the government of China is now shrinking to the southwest, and nearly half of the country's territory has fallen into the hands of our empire. Swallowing and destroying China is just around the corner! ”

"Of course!" Due to the effect of alcohol, Yoshio Kato was already slightly drunk, and his voice did not hide his sarcasm, "Our Imperial Japanese Army has now successfully occupied Northeast China, North China and East China, and it can be said that it is invincible all the way!" It is ridiculous that under such a situation, the Chinese army did not make a concerted effort to fight against us, but instead there were many factions and mutual dislikes. No wonder in the Battle of Nanjing two years ago, after learning the news of the 'retreat', those seemingly well-armed Chinese troops actually fled faster than rabbits, and handed over hundreds of thousands of Chinese pigs to our army to kill heartily! What is the vocation of a soldier in the first place? It is not to expand the territory, let alone plunder the people's property, but to protect the people who provide for them! Those wastes that can't even protect their own people, what kind of face do they have to compete with our Imperial Japanese Army!? ”

Taniguchi Kyunosuke bowed his head repeatedly, lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "My lord is really high-minded!" However, the information I learned below did not involve the military in China, but at about 6 o'clock this afternoon, the Duyi secret police arrested two female students in China at the University of Berlin. It is said that the two of them had a physical altercation with another woman, causing the other party to be seriously injured and hospitalized. ”

Yoshio Kato immediately laughed out loud, his blushing face showing disdain: "Why did Naito-kun once sigh 'There is no China after Yashan' [121]? Very simply, just as the main ethnic group of the Japanese Empire is the Yamato ethnic group, and the main ethnic group of the Chinese people is the Han nationality, the prosperity of the Han nationality will lead to the prosperity of China, and the decline of the Han nationality will lead to the death of China. Why is the Han weakened? Because their self-proclaimed Chinese civilization was infected by the 'virus', the whole nation became weak, so how could the Song Dynasty, founded by the Han people, not be conquered by the Mongols? If it weren't for the Mongolian and other non-Cypriot peoples to 'detoxify' this civilization, this weak nation would have been extinct long ago! Now, it is the turn of our Yamato nation to 'detoxify' their nation and civilization! ”

Exegesis:

[121] "There is no China after Yashan" originally came from the poem of the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which was a metaphor for the defeat of the Southern Ming Dynasty in the naval battle of Yashan, lamenting the shattering of mountains and rivers and the sinking of land in Shenzhou, which was later misinterpreted as the Chinese civilization was cut off after the death of the Song Dynasty. This is also the view of the Japanese modern Chinese historian Torajiro Naito, who believes that a very important reason why Chinese civilization can survive forever is that whenever the decline is revealed, there are foreign nationalities to help "detoxify", such as the Han for the Wuhu Chaohua, the Mengyuan for the Song, and the Manchu for the Ming. As a result, he considers China's frequent invasion by nomads to be "very happy." This fallacy was inherited and carried forward by his proud disciple Miyazaki Ichidai, and was elaborated on in Miyazaki's magnum opus, "Oriental Naïve Nation and Civilized Society." During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the last century, in order to propagate the so-called theory that "aggression is good for health," to create a "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere," and to shake the will of the Chinese people to resist the war, Japan vigorously advocated this viewpoint of Naito and Miyazaki. And this absurd view is obviously untenable: since "Chinese civilization was cut off after the fall of the Song Dynasty", then what was the Ming Dynasty? How to define the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan? Historical materials refer to People's Daily Online, Phoenix Network, etc.
