What is the 1991 miniature? (below)
General Su looked at Zhang Lan with some doubts, until now, he still didn't understand Zhang Lan asking this, didn't he, as a soldier, these things didn't make sense at all? Could it be ......
Thinking of what Zhang Lan had said before, General Su's heart began to pound. CaiHonGWeNXue.
Realizing this, General Su tried his best to calm his heart, but he couldn't help but express his views on Japan's constitutional amendment, "In fact, the reason why we have such a relationship with Japan's constitutional revision is because we believe that it has a bearing on the development direction and strategic positioning of Japan in the 21 st century, as well as on peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region...... To put it more bluntly, we are still not confident enough in our strength, believing that if Japan becomes a 'normal country,' it will pose a serious threat to us. β
"Oh? What do you mean? Zhang Lan looked interested.
"It's very simple," General Su said, "if China's oath of national sovereignty is taken as a precondition for constitutional amendment, then it will inevitably affect Sino-Japanese relations and even the issue of Sino-Japanese maritime and air security." There is no need or possibility for China to finally block Japan's constitutional amendment, because it is only a matter of time before a consensus has been reached between Japan's two major ruling and opposition parties, the Democratic Party and the Liberal Democratic Party, but China should therefore realize the importance of earnestly developing its economy and military, and the reason why "soft power" has become strength is, in the final analysis, because it is supported by "hard power." β
"In the final analysis, the reason why we are so nervous and concerned about Japan's constitutional revision is because we are not strong enough...... The Americans have never worried about whether Japan wants to revise their constitution, but on the contrary, they have tried their best to push Japan to revise the so-called 'peace constitution' so that Japan can better serve the interests of the United States. β
Zhang Lan, who said this well, really wanted to applaud, no, the most fundamental reason why the Republic is so concerned about Japan's constitutional revision is that we are not confident enough in Japan...... To put it more thoroughly, if Japan's current domestic situation is similar to that of Zambia, where the common people can't fill their stomachs and many people starve to death every year, will we still be so concerned about whether they will amend the constitution? Even if they revise the constitution and become a "normal country" again, they will not be able to threaten us at all. Even in the more than 70 years since the end of World War II, the issue of "revising the constitution" has always been the "long-cherished wish" of politicians of the "non-mainstream conservatives" (hawks) and other factions within the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, as well as other right-wing forces in the opposition party and politicians with militarist ideas.
As everyone knows, Japan's current constitution (also known as the peace constitution) is a "masterpiece" of the Americans, and it is also the painful and clever "choice" of Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida; it is the punishment and restraint of the "good war" Japan made by Roosevelt and Churchill after consultation, and it is also a "way out" that Yoshida Shigeru and other politicians have sought for the defeat of Japan after painstaking meditation, and Japan has exchanged the price of losing part of its sovereignty for high-speed economic development in a peaceful environment. The broad masses of the Japanese people are in favor of taking the road of peaceful development after learning from their painful experiences, but the constitutional amendment party is bitter about the loss of the right to defense.
Kishi Nobusuke was a pioneer in opposing the "Yoshida Line" (i.e., the "post-war system"), rejecting the "old security" and insisting on the "new security", and his unfulfilled desire to establish an "independent state system" is now being promoted by his descendants. After Shinzo Abe came to power, he believed that it was necessary to vigorously develop Sino-Japanese relations, but his political slogan at the time was to "get rid of the post-war system."
The core of the so-called "constitutional amendment" is to revise Article 9 of the current Japanese Constitution, especially the content that "the army, navy, air force, and other war forces will not recognize the state's right of belligerence." After Shinzo Abe became the prime minister of Japan, in an interview with the media, he talked about the three reasons for amending the constitution: First, there is a problem with the formulation process of the current constitution, which was formulated when Japan was occupied, so it does not belong to the 'autonomous constitution'. Second, the 70 years since the implementation of the Constitution are out of step with the times, especially in the case of Article 9. Third, the determination and will to formulate the country's fundamental principles with our own hands embodies the spirit of opening up a new era. β
It can be said that amending the constitution has always been a "glorious tradition" in Japanese political circles, so much so that if the cabinet did not propose to revise the "pacifist constitution" during its term of office, it would be regarded as a very failure. As early as 1963, the Japanese Constitutional Research Committee put forward the "Direction for Amending the Constitution" to create public opinion for the revision of the Constitution. At that time, in order to cooperate with the right-wing move to revise the constitution, the Japanese cabinet also frequently made remarks denying the "peace constitution." β¦,
In 1968, the head of Japan's Defense Agency, Masuda Koshichi, went so far as to say before the House of Councillors Cabinet Committee that "Article 9 of the Constitution does not stipulate that Japan has the right to rearm." This time, the constitutional amendment failed again due to the opposition of the people. Sixteen years later, the countercurrent of Japan's constitutional revision has once again risen. In November 1982, Yasuhiro Nakasone became the prime minister of Japan and once again advocated the revision of the constitution.
Behind this farce of constitutional amendment, Nobusuke Kishi has appeared again. In order to promote what right-wingers called "reform," Kishi Nobusuke had a secret meeting with Nakasone and told him that Nakasone-kun had only carried out two administrative reforms in Japan's history, one was the Meiji Restoration, and the other was the reform carried out by General MacArthur after the war. If you want to do it in normal times, it will not work without a coup d'Γ©tat. That's how difficult things are, so you have to be mentally prepared for that kind of mentality and do it well."
With Kishi's encouragement and instigation, Nakasone's ambitions swelled. From the very beginning of his tenure, he showed an unusual interest in constitutional amendments. In his book "My Political Convictions," which was circulated to the press, he wrote that Japan must revise the pacifist constitution granted by the United States, and it is my consistent belief. Nakasone's proposal to revise the constitution was more thorough than that of his predecessors, that is, to completely delete Article 9 of the "Peace Constitution" and to continuously expand its armaments, so that Japan would have the right to use force to settle international disputes.
The Japanese Prime Minister's words and deeds on the constitutional amendment have greatly encouraged him
