Chapter 274: The environment is sinister and survival is difficult
The county seat of Lin'an County. Fang's compound, the headquarters of the Japanese army. Front yard main house living room.
Nakagawa Eiichi would never have imagined that the two conversations with Zhu Shiyao in the morning and in the afternoon would be so unbearable and unbearable. I secretly decided in my heart that I couldn't let such a person live anymore, and I had to secretly execute him as soon as possible. Although Zong Hanichiro felt very uncomfortable when he heard Zhu Shiyao's explanations of the various issues raised by them, he sincerely admired Zhu Shiyao's knowledge, courage, and integrity, and was also interested in discussing and debating certain issues between China and Japan. Therefore, he constantly asks questions.
Zhu Shiyao seems to have made full preparations in advance, and he has all kinds of questions. When Ichiro Sohan raised the question of how Japan and China should interact, Zhu Shiyao felt the need to admonish and persuade the two senior Japanese commanders in front of him.
Zhu Shiyao picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took two sips of tea, then put down the teacup and said:
"Captain Nakagawa, Mr. Special Envoy, you Japan should not provoke aggression against any country, and the last thing you should provoke is our great China, which is separated by a strip of water and across the sea, and you should not provoke the United States. Japan should respect and worship China and rely on China, so that long-term exchanges will be Japan's way of survival and development. Otherwise, there is no other way. To wage war is a big mistake, madness, stupidity. β
"Huh? President Zhu, why do you say that we in Japan should respect and worship China and rely on China? Zong Hanichiro asked rhetorically as if he didn't understand.
"Actually, you don't necessarily don't know, it's easy to say. China has a vast territory, a large population, and abundant products, so we have everything you want. However, Japan, a small island country that is isolated overseas, has nothing to offer, and 30 percent of the plain land area can hardly feed nearly 100 million people a year. Japan, on the other hand, has the only natural conditions for frequent devastating earthquakes, overwhelming tsunamis, and active volcanoes that may erupt at any time. If Japan wants to survive and develop, it must have a heart of reverence, benevolence, and humble and friendly exchanges with China, so as to obtain valuable resources that can survive and support social progress and economic development. I don't know if you think what I said? β
"Hmph, exaggerated, exaggerated, not to be believed. Principal Zhu, is this the only way to do it? Is there no other way to do it? Nakagawa Eiichi asked unconvinced.
"Yes. There is no other way to do it. I know that you Japanese people have a strong sense of danger and are trying to change the naturally formed treacherous and barren living environment, so they have chosen the strategy of foreign aggression and expansion. Alas! It's stupid to get home. β
"President Zhu, what you just said is a way of thinking, but war is also a path, maybe Japan can become the dominant player in Asia and even the world, and then the situation will be completely different." Ichiro Sohan said whimsically and unashamedly.
"What? Asia, the world's leader? Impossible, completely impossible, simply impossible, absolutely impossible. Just you Japan? Don't even think about it. Zhu Shiyao shook his head and said three impossible and categorically denied in a row.
"Huh? Why is it impossible? All the people of the Great Japanese Empire are working hard toward this goal. Nakagawa Eiichi said emotionally.
"Hmph, it's one thing to work hard, it's another thing to achieve your goals. I want to work hard to pluck the moon from the sky and use it as a light bulb at home, can this work? Captain Nakagawa and Mr. Special Envoy, don't be unpleasant to hear it, let me tell you the truth, you Japan will never be able to dominate anywhere else outside of your own homeland. Believe it or not, we'll see. β
"Why can't it be done? Principal Zhu, you have to make it clear. Ichiro Zong asked.
"Why? Don't you yourselves know? Well, if you let me say it, then I'll talk about it. Mr. Special Envoy, because you, Japan, are so small, with a small land area, a small population, and so few resources that there is almost nothing, and the serious lack of comprehensive national strength is simply not enough to assume the qualifications and responsibilities of being the leader of the region outside your own country. The most important thing is that the Japanese nation has a bad temperament and character, that it is small in strength, small in heart, small in vision, small in structure, and militant and belligerent in its own power, covets its neighbors, bullies the weak, and brutally kills the enemy. Therefore, Japan will definitely not be able to become a dominant player in Asia and the world. β
"Not really. President Zhu, we in Japan are now the dominant players in China, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, as you must know. Ichiro said smugly.
"Mr. Special Envoy, that is not the dominant one, you are the aggressor, the occupier, and you have been resisted endlessly and desperately by the people of the occupied countries and regions, and in the end you Japan will be the loser. Don't confuse or misunderstand the concept and meaning of the word dominant. β
"Huh? Am I misunderstood? So what do you say is the dominant one? β
"A country that can promote the social progress of its neighbors in the four directions, promote mutual economic prosperity, bring common peace, tranquility, prosperity, and happiness, and is respected and supported by all parties is the one that can be called the leader."
"Oh? Is there such a country in the world? Sohan Ichiro asked curiously.
"Of course, there is only one country in the history of mankind in the world that has been the leader, and that is China. You should also know that the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Kangqian era of the Qing Dynasty, when all countries came to the court, called ministers and paid tribute, and had frequent exchanges and friendly exchanges, all of them were honored to have contacts and friendships with China that was strong at that time. β
"Huh? This is all an old thing from more than a thousand years ago and hundreds of years ago, and it is not worth mentioning at all now, nor is it nostalgic capital to show off, and China will never be able to become the dominant player it was at that time in the future, what is the use of saying this? Nakagawa Eiichi said disdainfully and mockingly.
"Not really. Based on my understanding of my own country and people, I believe that in 100 years, China should be able to rise again and rejuvenate again, become a strong and prosperous power, and become the dominant power in Asia and even the world. Zhu Shiyao said confidently and yearningly.
"Huh? China may become the dominant player in the future? President Zhu, if this is the case, how should I deal with it in Japan? β
"It's simple. You, Japan, can still rely on the wings of our great China and get shelter and resources in order to survive and develop. It's not that hard, is it? Japan used to be a vassal state of China during the Tang Dynasty, and many of you Japanese ancestors were our Chinese, so China can be especially gracious to JapanΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"A bunch of nonsense!" Nakagawa Rong interrupted Zhu Shiyao's words in a frustrated manner.
"President Zhu, I heard that many Japanese ancestors are Chinese who came to Japan from China. Can this statement be confirmed by historical facts? Sohan Ichiro asked.
"Yes. There are historical facts that can be determined. Zhu Shiyao replied affirmatively.
"Hmph, of course you Chinese want to say that it can be certain, but for us it is something that is not believable and difficult to determine." Eiichi Nakagawa was skeptical and said negatively.
"Captain, what President Zhu said has historical records, and it is completely certain." Hirochi Takagi, who was sitting next to him and taking notes, stood up and looked at Eiichi Nakagawa and said affirmatively.
Takagi Hirochi suddenly stood up and said what he said, which made Nakagawa Eiichi, Zong Hanichiro and Zhu Shiyao all surprised and surprised.
