Chapter 242: Military Offensive Cultural Invasion

The county seat of Lin'an County. National Model High School conference room.

Zhu Shiyao resolutely disagreed with and did not accept the arrogant order that Chinese students must learn Japanese, Japanese, and Japanese culture. Zhu Shiyao's categorical negative attitude and resolute opposition tone made Hegu Shaozuo very annoyed, and he was angry and angry and asked loudly why? And said that it was an open hostile act against the Great Japanese Empire.

All the Chinese in the conference room, including Liu Guangxiong, Sun Zudong, Qian Wanlin, Song Huaili, etc., were worried about Zhu Shiyao, and they were worried that Zhu Shiyao would be able to leave school alive today and go home for dinner. At this time, Zhu Shiyao had already put life and death aside, he thought of it and prepared for the worst, isn't it just death? The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? Even if he dies, he must not let the Japanese devils get any benefit in school.

Just when Zhu Shiyao and Katani Shaozuo were arguing and arguing with each other, the Japanese combat staff officer walked into the conference room with a telegram, walked to Nakagawa Eiichi's side, and put the telegram on the conference table in front of him. Nakagawa Eiichi looked down at the Japanese text on the telegram: The four teams of our imperial army have arrived at the designated position, ready for attack, and waiting for orders. Eiichi Nakagawa picked up a pen and wrote on the telegram: Attack simultaneously in strict accordance with the battle plan. After writing it, it was handed over to the operational staff officer.

Outside Shuihe Village. The Eighth Route Army replenished the regimental positions. The soldiers were lying in the trenches and waiting for battle, ready to fight at any time, and the regiment commander Yu Genshan and the deputy regiment commander Han Dagang stood in the hidden command post at a high place holding binoculars to observe the enemy situation.

Suddenly, the Japanese troops in the northeast, east, southeast, and south directions simultaneously shelled fiercely at the position of the Eighth Route Army in Shuihe Village, and the dense shells whistled down on the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Ten minutes after the shelling, the artillery fire extended. The Japanese troops of the Fourth Route with rifles and under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles rushed towards the Eighth Route Army at the same time.

The soldiers of the special column ambushed in the cornfields behind the attacking Japanese troops did not move. Meng Dakui, the deputy commander lying on the ridge, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, then rolled over and lay on his back, listening to the sound of the cannon and closing his eyes to recuperate.

The county seat of Lin'an County. National Model High School conference room.

Hegu Shaozuo's face was flushed with anger, and he repeatedly asked Zhu Shiyao why he objected? He also emphasized that not only the students must learn Japanese, Japanese, and Japanese culture, but also all the people in Lin'an County and the western Hebei region must learn it, and if they do not learn, they will be anti-Japanese and anti-Japanese.

Zhu Shiyao looked at Hegu Shaozuo calmly, and said with a soft sneer and disdain:

"Hegu Shaozuo, please don't be so rude and irritable. You ask me why I am against learning Japanese, Japanese, and Japanese culture? I'll start with Japanese. I don't need to learn half of your Japanese to know and understand half of it, because Japanese characters are derived from our Chinese language. Kawaya Shaosa, do you understand the origin of your Japanese katakana and hiragana? ”

"This? I don't understand. How? Principal Zhu, do you understand? You tell me about it. ”

"Yes. I don't know much, just scratching the surface. In front of Captain Nakagawa, who has studied and taught history, he made an axe and made a fool of himself. ”

"Principal Zhu doesn't have to be too humble, please tell me." Eiichi Nakagawa said politely.

"Okay, I said. If what I say is incorrect, please correct it. During the Jin Dynasty in China, Chinese characters were introduced to Japan. In 285 AD, the Japanese scholar Anaozaki invited the Chinese scholar Wang Ren to come to Japan with two books, The Analects and The Thousand Character Text, which was probably the beginning of the official introduction of Chinese characters to Japan. After the spread of knowledge of kanji, Japan began to borrow kanji as musical notes to write Japanese, forming a Japanese syllable alphabet that used all kanji. This borrowing of the Japanese alphabet from ready-made kanji is called Manyokana. Kana is a borrowed kanji. Kana was not designed by someone in a planned way, so there were two overlapping sets, one called katakana and one called hiragana. What is katakana? Buddhism came to Japan in 538 AD. The Nara monks read Buddhist scriptures and annotated the pronunciation and meaning next to the kanji, at first using the entire kanji, and later simplifying the regular script and taking fragments of it, forming katakana. What is hiragana? Japanese women were not very literate, so they borrowed kanji as musical notes, wrote diaries, stories, poems, and phonetized and annotated kanji, simplifying cursive writing and forming hiragana during the Heian period when cursive writing was prevalent. Katakana goes from monks to laymen, and hiragana goes from women to men. At first, different kanji were used to represent the same Japanese syllables, but later the characters were used uniformly, basically achieving one tone and one character, and the standardization of kana was completed. River Valley Shaozo, do you understand? Captain Nakagawa, I don't know if I'm right? Please add and correct it. ”

Hegu Shaozuo blinked his eyes and nodded with a blank expression.

Eiichi Nakagawa smiled silently, and turned his head to look at Captain Oda.

"Principal Zhu, you're basically right. Admire, admire. Captain Oda said.

Zhu Shiyao didn't pay attention to Captain Oda's compliment at all, he looked at Nakagawa and continued:

"Captain Nakagawa, can you say that your Japanese characters are plagiarized, simplified, and changed on the basis of copying our Chinese characters?"

"Huh?" The polite smile on Nakagawa Eiichi was lost in an instant, and he glanced at Captain Oda, who was sitting next to him, with a displeased expression. He knew that a long, long time ago, Japan had only a colloquial language, not a complete and standardized script. Japanese characters are indeed Chinese characters derived from China. In the face of this ironclad and undeniable historical fact, it is impossible to argue with Zhu Shiyao. However, Zhu Shiyao's statement that Japanese characters are plagiarized and plagiarized Chinese characters makes people sound uncomfortable. Even if that's the case, don't say that. He wanted to refute, but he didn't dare. He knew that the result of the rebuttal and argument with Zhu Shiyao would be his defeat, and he would lose his face as a scholar of East Asian history and the majesty of a high-ranking official of the Imperial Japanese Army. At this time, there is only one thing left to say, let the student Oda speak.

Captain Oda saw Nakagawa Eiichi's stunned face, knowing that the teacher had something to say, but he didn't want to say it, or it was inconvenient to say it, so he asked me, a student, to speak it out for him and refute Zhu Shiyao's unscrupulous and insulting remarks. So, Captain Oda said:

"President Zhu, it is not objective and inappropriate for you to say this. It should be said that Japanese characters were created wisely on the basis of learning and borrowing Chinese characters. ”

"Hmph, the statement is different, but the truth is the same. Isn't it true that Japanese characters are basically all used in the entirety of kanji, or radicals of kanji, and the phonetic symbols of ancient kanji? To put it mildly, it is to learn from it, and to put it mildly, it is to be plagiarism. The Korean script is the one that has basically been created by learning and borrowing Chinese characters and belongs to its own country and nation. You still say wisdom? I don't see any other wisdom? I think some of the Japanese usages are ridiculous. ”

"Ridiculous? How ridiculous? President Zhu, please explain. Oda asked, puzzled.

"Yes. A year ago, two Japanese restaurants opened in the prefecture. However, almost no Chinese have ever eaten it. Do you know why? ”

"Hmph, because you Chinese don't have money to eat." River Valley interjected.

"No, no, it's not at all. Mr. Liu, Mr. Song, Commander Sun, and Captain Qian, have the four of you ever eaten at a Japanese restaurant? Zhu Shiyao asked.

Liu Guangxiong, Song Huaili, Sun Zudong, and Qian Wanlin shook their heads together without hesitation, and Wan Fulai, the deputy captain of the detective team, also shook his head, saying that he had never been to eat.

"Hegu Shaozuo is right, we ordinary Chinese people really can't afford to eat. The big guys I asked just now won't be out of money and can't afford to eat, right? So why haven't they been there or eaten? Do you know why? ”

"Huh, you ask me? How do I know why they haven't been there or eaten? You should ask them. Hegu said with a snort of disdain.

"There is no need to ask a few of them, they will not go no matter how rich they are, and Chinese with money and no money will not go." Don't say that it's wartime, even peacetime won't go. We Chinese know the truth in it, but you Japanese don't understand it. ”

"Is there any truth in this? Principal Zhu, please tell us about it. Oda asked.

"Chinese people feel that it is unlucky to go to a Japanese restaurant to eat, so Chinese will not go, and they will not go if they have money or not." Zhu Shiyao explained.

"Huh? Going to a Japanese restaurant to eat is unlucky? Why is that? Principal Zhu, are you belittling and insulting our Japanese diet? Oda said with a displeased expression.

"No, no, not at all, absolutely not. I say this has nothing to do with your Japanese diet, it is just a kind of exquisiteness or psychological feeling when we Chinese eat, and there is no meaning of belittling and insulting. The reason why I didn't go was because of the word cooking. Cuisine means cooking, cooking, and Japanese cuisine in Japanese, and in Chinese, it means taking care of housework and taking care of aftermath, and has nothing to do with cooking or cooking. When the word cooking is mentioned, Chinese people will think that people have to handle these things when they die. So, how can eating be related to cooking? It's better not to do it. Perhaps this is the difference between Chinese and Japanese cultures. Besides, there is really nothing delicious about raw fish fillet (sashimi), beef fillet, and seaweed roll rice (sushi) with dipping seasoning, which is too far and too much worse than our Chinese diet......"

"Baga!" Syllable! Kazuya slammed the conference table and stood up angrily.

Outside Shuihe Village. After the Japanese stopped shelling, the Japanese troops of the Fourth Route with rifles and under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles rushed towards the position of the Eighth Route Army at the same time, getting closer and closer, and the rifle and machine gun bullets were inclined like a storm. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army lay in the trenches, hid in bunkers, and waited patiently, until the Japanese troops reached a distance of 150 meters from the position, and then opened fire, shooting accurately.

After the Japanese attack was 150 meters away from the position of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese soldiers scattered and lay down on the road and in the ditch, and fired intensively at the position of the Eighth Route Army. The Japanese army knew that the Eighth Route Army would not shoot without entering a distance of 150 meters.

"Huh? What's going on? Why don't the little devils lie down and don't move you? What kind of tactic is this? What new tricks are you going to play? Yu Genshan, who was holding a telescope to observe the enemy's situation in the command post, said to himself in confusion.
