Chapter 175: Megalomania, Rats Swallow Elephants

The county seat of Lin'an County. Xicheng Tower. The second floor of the hall.

Nakagawa Rong asked the platoon leader to say something. He wanted to hear what a captured low-ranking officer of the Eighth Route Army would say at this time? What can I say?

The platoon commander of the third company and one platoon of the first battalion of the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment, wearing a light gray torn military uniform, stood up, held his head high, looked resolute, and said confidently and firmly:

"Resist the war to the end, kill all the thieves, protect the family and defend the country, and make China rich and strong." The platoon commander Qi spoke sonorously, loudly, deafeningly, and empoweringly, and the enemy was frightened and the people were excited. Wang Fujiang couldn't help but applaud.

"Eight Tooth Road!" With a loud thud, Nakasa Kawaya stood up and drew his saber.

Two Japanese military policemen rushed over with their rifles in hand, their bayonets pointed at the platoon commander.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and everyone was shocked and their hearts were pounding.

Syllable! The commander of the National Army An Company stood up, his eyes widened angrily, and he glared at the valley and asked:

"What?! What are you doing?! Is the Earnest Symposium about to become an execution ground? What is a meeting if you can't listen to different opinions? Drawing a sword and raising a gun at the earnest talks, what kind of peace and friendship are you talking about? Hum! Isn't it? The murderous nature is exposed. ”

"Yaga!" Nakasa in the valley yelled at Commander An again.

Company Commander An was not afraid, stared at the valley and sneered and said:

"Hmph. If you want to kill someone, come and cut me, and if you don't dare, put the knife away, sit down, and continue to talk. Who do you scare with knives and guns? We have all seen swords, swords, bullets and bullets, don't come to this bluff. Platoon leader, let's sit down. ”

"Hegu-kun, don't be impatient. Sit down! Eiichi Nakagawa ordered.

Nakasa's anger continued unabated, and he put away his saber and sat down angrily.

Wang Fujiang looked at the hypocritical and cunning face of Nakagawa Eiichi with awe-inspiring eyes and said:

"It's boring, ridiculous, and can be over."

"Funny? Why? Nakagawa asked with a pretended puzzlement.

"The war continues, and the killing never stops. Our soil has been trampled on, our people have been trampled, but what peace and friendship are you talking to us about here? It's really a big lie and a deception. Don't you think it's funny? ”

"No, no. Secretary Wang, I don't think so. The reality is undeniable, the war continues. Personally, I feel very sorry and helpless. In war, guns and artillery are ruthless, and casualties and losses are inevitable. Although I am a soldier, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stop this war. Now, I have an idea: Can we strike a truce within the scope of my authority and ability and within the area under my jurisdiction to create a situation of peace and friendship in some areas, and the representatives of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Eighth Route Army, the Kuomintang Army, and the Nanjing Government will sit together to discuss the great plan, and build the western Hebei region into a model area of goodwill, friendship, coexistence and common prosperity between Japan and China. ”

Qian Wanlin lost no time in applauding, flattering and currying favor with Nakagawa Eiichi.

"Humph! Nonsense! Absurd! Wang Fujiang said with a sneer.

"This is peace under the guns, friendship under the bayonet. Nakagawa Daisa, let's change it, if I lead troops to fight your small Japanese island country and kill people and set fire to them every day, I will talk to you about peace and friendship again, do you believe it? Company Commander An added.

"Impossible! What you say is absolutely impossible! You China, simply do not have the strength or the courage to attack the territory of our Great Japanese Empire, and it will never be. Nakasa said arrogantly and completely in denial.

"Humph! Nothing in this world is impossible. I believe that the descendants of our great country in China will definitely do this and will definitely do it. Of course, we can't do it now, and we can definitely do it after China becomes strong and prosperous in a hundred years. Company Commander An said affirmatively.

"Company Commander An, are you saying that after China becomes strong, it will definitely attack our Great Japanese Empire by force? Why? Nakasa Kasanya questioned.

"Yes. You are just a Japanese island country, thousands of years ago to learn from our China, taught by our China, but also violated and bullied our China for thousands of years, we must repay the blood debt, revenge. Tell the Quartet and the Eight Sides of the State that whoever offends my China will die! Mortal! ”

"Yaga! You are anti-Japanese and anti-Japanese remarks! Nakasa in the valley shouted angrily.

"Humph! Yes and what? Kill me again? Come on. Company Commander An was proud.

"Alright, alright. Hegu-kun and Company Commander An, the two of us are talking about gunpowder getting stronger and stronger, so calm down. During the war, the conversation was naturally inseparable from the war. However, such sabre-rattling and aggressiveness also seem unnecessary. Nakagawa Eiichi deliberately shifted the target, he looked at Principal Zhu Shiyao, and said in a calm tone: "Principal Zhu, I know that you are studying geography and history, and you are also teaching geography and history. We are the same in this regard, before the Holy War, I also studied and taught history, and I also studied geography, especially the geography of Japan and China. Now, let us put aside politics, military affairs, and economics, and talk objectively about the trend and outcome of this holy war as a scholar of geography and history and from a materialist dialectical point of view. What do you think? May I? Principal Zhu? ”

"Absolutely. Now that Captain Nakagawa has brought up the matter, I can't help but say it. ”

"No, no, no. President Zhu, please don't call me Wing Captain, please address me as Mr. ”

"Nope! That's your past. Now, you're not a gentleman but a co-captain, and that's a reality that can't be changed. Let me call you sir, it's hard to say. ”

"Okay, since Principal Zhu insists on this, I can only obey and respect. Principal Zhu, please. ”

"From a historical point of view, Captain Nakagawa, the holy war you mentioned, your Japanese army will be more and more difficult to fight, and the final outcome will be complete defeat, and victory must belong to us China. Historically, China has been ruled by foreign invasions, such as the Yuan Dynasty established by Kublai Khan of the Mongols, and the Qing Dynasty established by Huang Taiji of the Manchus, which were later overthrown, while the Mongols and Manchus have integrated into the big family of the Chinese nation. Captain Nakagawa, can I make such an assumption? After the end of this war, will the defeated Japanese Yamato nation become a part of the Chinese nation? ”

"Oh? Principal Zhu, are you so confident? Hum! It's really childish, ridiculous, and very one-sided. ”

"Yes, it's very one-sided. Captain Nakagawa, it is indeed naïve and ridiculous nonsense to talk about a war, but you are not allowed to talk about the political, military and economic aspects that are closely related to the war. In particular, not to mention geography, which is inseparable from war. ”

"Geography? Well, that's interesting. President Zhu, do you think geography is very important for warfare? Can geography determine the outcome of a war? ”

"Of course, geography can play a crucial role in winning or losing a war. The Battle of Wujiang in the Chu-Han Dispute in ancient China and the Battle of Waterloo in Napoleon in France fully illustrate the importance of geography to victory or defeat in war. ”

"Hmm. You're talking a little bit geographical. Principal Zhu, let's not go too far. Can you tell us about China's geography that will determine victory or defeat in the current jihad? ”

"Yes. Captain Nakagawa asked a good question. Please take a good look at the map of China hanging on the wall, and then take a good look at the complex and diverse terrain of China, do you think your Japanese army will be able to win and annex China? Also jihad? Hum! Absurd. ”

"I, the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire, have already occupied most of China, and it won't be long before we will occupy all of your China." Nakasa of the valley interjected arrogantly.
