Chapter 126 accuses the national policy of being defeated by the family

The county seat of Lin'an County. The headquarters of the Japanese army in the Fangjia compound. Front yard main house.

"Yes. In the past two days, a new radio call sign has appeared in Lin'an County, and the special high school is making every effort to search for it. In addition, I have received important information that there is a Chinese army operating in the western Hebei region, which has relatively strong combat effectiveness. Now, the number, number and armament are unknown, but they are not the supplementary regiments of the Eighth Road, nor the Kuomintang army, and they are not like bandits. ”

"Yes. I already know about this mysterious army. The failure of the military operation led by Ono-kun and the army of Kui Ken to attack Shuihe Village at night, the loss of troops and the almost total annihilation of the army, it is very likely to be related to this Chinese army, this is a potential danger, very unfavorable to us, you must investigate the whole situation of this team as soon as possible. ”

"Hey." Ono Tachimasa bowed and turned to leave.

"Alas! There are more and more tricky and troublesome things, so let's not talk about that. Zong Hanjun, how is Teacher Zong Han's situation now? I haven't been to see my teacher for many years, it's really disrespectful to the students, how are the teachers and my wife okay lately? When you meet your teachers and mothers after you return to China, please ask Zong Hanjun to convey my thoughts and greetings to them. ”

Speaking of his father, who had admired and respected him since he was a child, Zong Hanichiro was sad and said sadly:

"Alas, two months ago, my father, who was a member of parliament, questioned the launching of the Greater East Asian Holy War at a cabinet meeting, and called on and suggested that the cabinet and the military department should end the war as soon as possible and withdraw troops from all theaters. Unexpectedly, one night a few days later, my father was assassinated by right-wing soldiers."

Nakagawa Eiichi was shocked when he heard this, and said angrily:

"Huh?! How could such a thing happen?! Bastards! Alas, it was so unfortunate that I expressed my deep condolences to the teacher. Zong Hanjun, please take care of your condolences. How are your wife, your wife and the children doing? What about the rest of the family? Are there any difficulties in life? ”

"After my father was killed, the Sohan family was regarded as traitors to the Yamato nation and was discriminated against, and the fanatics of the right-wing forces went to the house almost every day to harass them, and the younger brothers and brothers-in-law lost their jobs, and the whole family could no longer live peacefully in Tokyo," said Sohan Ichiro sadly. I had to sell all my real estate and family property, and my two younger brothers returned to my father's hometown of Hiroshima with their wives and children, and my mother took my wife, children, and my two younger sisters, who were forced to divorce and kicked out of the house by their husbands, back to my mother's hometown. But I can't predict what more disasters will happen in the future? ”

"Yes, your Zonghan family has suffered an unprecedented disaster, in fact, this can be avoided. Zong Hanjun, I also think that the question of Lord Ling Zun and my mentor's anxiety and doubts is reasonable, but it should not be raised at the cabinet meeting at this time. Jihad has been going on for a few years, and it's not like you can stop it. The only way for Japan to survive and develop better is to expand its territory in order to obtain abundant resources and markets. Otherwise, there is no other way. ”

"Oh? Is war the only way out for Japan's survival and development? Nakagawa-kun, I don't agree with you. I believe that Japan can wage an economic or financial war against China without waging a military war, and it will be able to achieve Japan's national development strategic goals and economic goals. ”

"Zong Hanjun, what you said is not impossible, but it will be too slow to do that, it will delay for a long time, and it will not be able to catch up with the needs and speed of Japan's development."

"Slow? So will Japan be quick to launch this Greater East Asian Holy War? And, don't you know what a huge price we have paid? Is it worth it to provoke the great hatred and desperate resistance of the Chinese people? How long will this war go on before it ends? Nakagawa-kun, have you ever considered these things? In the final analysis, the Great East Asia Holy War is just a meaningless and cost-loss gamble by a handful of arrogant war maniacs who kidnapped the entire Japanese people, and the final outcome of Japan will definitely be miserable. ”

"I have not thought about these problems, and the cabinet and the military department have also fully considered them, so the empire has now adjusted its war strategy, believing that only by using war to nourish war, to govern China with China, and to strengthen law and order can we achieve the final victory of the holy war. Zong Hanjun, what do you think the outcome of the holy war will be with such a strategy? ”

"Huh? The strategy of using war to feed war, to govern China with China, and to raise Japan with China is just our own naïve wishful thinking, which may not be feasible if we deceive ourselves and others. First of all, the Communists will vigorously oppose and sabotage this strategy, and the Eighth Route Army will always be a formidable opponent of the Imperial Army. Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang government, with the help of American assistance, would not give in to the Empire. And Wang Jingwei's Nanjing government, Puyi's Manchukuo, and the Jidong Autonomous Government are just puppets and taming tools in the hands of the empire, and they will not do anything. The Chinese government that truly represents more than 90 percent of the people is the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. When it comes to the outcome of the holy war, I think there are only three possibilities for the outcome of any war: one is complete defeat and humiliating surrender; Second, the two sides are unable to fight again, and negotiate peace and strike the army; The third is to pay a heavy price and win with difficulty. ”

"Zong Hanjun, what kind of possibility do you think the outcome of this holy war will be?"

"Defeated and surrendered. Other than that, there is nothing else. ”

"Zong Hanjun, you are too pessimistic, is there really no other hope beyond these three possibilities that you imagined yourself?"

"Maybe there is more, that is, His Majesty the Imperial Emperor issued an edict, took the initiative to unilaterally declare a truce, fully withdraw troops and return to Japan, and end this war with dignity."

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"Yes. I also don't think it's possible. However, a few years ago, it was clearly pointed out in "On Protracted War" that China would win and Japan would lose. ”

"Zong Hanjun, with all due respect, some of your views and statements are exactly the same as those of the Communist Party, which is very dangerous and terrifying."

"Maybe. However, in the past few years, I have arrested and met with Communists, and I have gained some understanding of the current situation and purpose of the Communist Party. From a hostile standpoint, I also think that they are absurd and weak, but from the perspective of a political party and a nation, the theory and military strategy of the Communist Party are undoubtedly correct. ”

"Zong Hanjun, I also understand the situation of the Communist Party, let's not talk about its theory and military strategy, the poor and weak Communist Eighth Route Army will not be able to save and revitalize China, the sick man of East Asia for thousands of years, and the Kuomintang may still have this ability, but it is not the opponent of our imperial army."

"Before the start of the holy war, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party gave up their long-standing grievances, shook hands and made peace, united to resist Japan, and called on all Chinese to fight against Japan together. Therefore, I believe that the Great East Asia Holy War launched by Japan has only awakened China, an oriental giant that has been sleeping for thousands of years, and in the end, it is very likely that Japan will seek bitter fruits for itself, and the gains outweigh the losses. As a matter of fact, after we have completely occupied and conquered Manchukuo, Taiwan, and the Korean Peninsula, we should stop fighting and stop fighting, and we should no longer provoke the two major powers, China and the United States. ”

"No, no, no. Musashi-kun, what you said is a bit biased. Japan and China have different state systems, and the militaristic tactics of the empire are invincible, while China, which is scattered, can only accept the fate of defeat. ”

"I don't think so. It is inappropriate for Japan to override militarism, the army, and military personnel over the state, the nation, and democracy, and it runs counter to the law of development of human society. The Kuomintang and Chiang Kai-shek called China a party-state, and if the Kuomintang was above the state and the nation, it would fail sooner or later, but I rather agree with the Communists' idea that everyone is equal......"

"Report." The captain of the Japanese army came in with a folder, walked up to Eiichi Nakagawa, bowed, and said, "Wing Commander, the battle plan and quartermaster equipment have been formulated, please approve it,"

"Put it here, I'll approve it after I read it. You go out. ”

"Hey." The captain bowed, turned and walked out.

"What? Have a combat mission? Nakagawa-kun, I won't hinder you, right? ”

"Yes, I want to completely encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in the western Hebei region, how can you hinder me? I'm also going to ask Musashi-kun to give me advice. ”

"Nakagawa-kun, are you really going to send troops to sweep up? I advise you not to fight again. The Bible says, "Whoever wields the sword will die by the sword." ”
