In the living room of the Liang family, almost everyone felt extremely unbelievable about Zhou Hexuan's words.

Ding Wenjiang frowned and said, "Mr. Zhou, do you know that if Japan invades China in an all-round way, it will be impossible to resist it with China's current situation. ”

Jiang Tinghuang also said: "As long as the Japanese Kwantung Army comes, with the previous performance of the Northeast Army, I am afraid that North China will also fall soon." ”

Zhou Hexuan nodded helplessly: "I know that not only North China, but also Central China and South China will be lost." At that time, it is time for the people to really wake up from their sleep, and the central government and local warlords must unite to resist Japan. In fact, China has always been powerful, and it has always had an advantage in the face of Japan. Japan's territory is small and its resources are scarce, while China's vast territory and large population will inevitably drag Japan into the quagmire of war as long as it persists in resisting. During the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan's economy was on the verge of collapse, and as long as the Qing government could hold out for a year and a half without surrendering, countless people in Japan would starve to death. In the same way, if Japan now wants to swallow the whole of China and conquer a country whose land area is several times larger, it will be difficult for Japan to support its military spending. ”

Jin Yuelin asked: "What about China?" ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly: "China will kill a lot of people, and the national economy will also collapse, but it will definitely win the final victory and regain the territory of Northeast China and Taiwan." ”

Zhou Hexuan is not all making up nonsense and talking big, it is really expensive to fight the national war.

Japan began its full-scale invasion of China in 1937, and in just half a year, military spending accounted for two-thirds of Japan's annual fiscal expenditure.

By 1938, Japan's finances began to be unable to hold on, so it relied on the means of issuing public bonds to mobilize the people to invest money to support the war attrition.

By 1939, Japan's economy was in a general decline, and the passing of China could not make up for the attrition, and military spending accounted for 28% of the gross national product.

By 1941, the Japanese government had poured all its money into war-related activities (including military production and the purchase of resources), and imposed special mandatory requirements on the people: no gifts to each other, no banquets, no extravagance in clothing, no extravagance and waste, and the people were encouraged to keep all their money in the bank. Ordinary people in Japan can only survive on potato grains, and malnutrition is widespread throughout the country.

By 1943, the Japanese economy was facing collapse. In the name of saving fuel, the government did not allow Japanese citizens to bathe at home, and they had to go to the bathhouse to soak in the large pool. In order to collect metal to make weapons, the iron street lamps on the streets of Japan were dismantled and replaced with wooden poles, and the police went door to door to collect iron tools.

By 1944, Japan's military expenditure accounted for 98.5% of its gross national income, and almost all of its people's money was spent on wars.

By 1945, Japan's military expenditure exceeded 80 billion yen, more than double the gross national product.

On the eve of China's victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese people could not even afford to eat miscellaneous grains, and the so-called middle class was generally starving. And the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were also miserable, they used to wear leather boots, and there were all kinds of canned meat in the food, but later they could only wear rubber boots, and they often fought hungry.

This is a typical snake swallowing an elephant, holding itself to death.

Even if the United States and the Soviet Union did not intervene in the Sino-Japanese war, even if the Chinese army was defeated again and again, as long as they persisted in not surrendering, the whole of Japan would starve to death.

Sometimes Zhou Hexuan even felt that the two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki actually saved Japan's life. If the war continues for another two or three years, at least one million people will starve to death in Japan every year, and perhaps a revolution will break out, and the Japanese emperor will end up with the tragic fate of the Tsarist Russian imperial family.

Jiang Tinghuang said: "There is some truth in Mingcheng's words, but I am afraid that if a national war really breaks out, the Chinese will not be able to hold it in the first place." ”

Hu Shi also said: "Yes, since the late Qing Dynasty, China's foreign wars have been fiasco. I was afraid that as soon as the Japanese came, the warlords in various places surrendered one after another, and at that time it was the end of the slaves who died in the country. That's why I think it's better not to fight if you can, and you have to rely on diplomacy to solve the problem. ”

Zhou Hexuan's tone was mocking: "To say that it needs to be resolved by diplomacy, it is just a matter of lingering and waiting for a slow death." ”

"What else can I do?" Hu Shih was very distrustful of the government, the warlords, and the Chinese soldiers.

"Fight, we must fight, in order to fight the future of the Chinese nation!" Zhou Hexuan cut the railway.

Zhang Xiruo also echoed: "If this is a good saying, China will lack a national war!" ”

The two men were clamoring for war, while others expressed concern, even fearing that China would be occupied by Japan in a few months.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Lin Huiyin hurriedly mediated: "Let's talk about other topics, does Shima have any new poems recently?" ”

"I've been bored these days, and I'm not in the mood to write poetry." Xu Zhimo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Speaking of poetry, Zhou Hexuan remembered Lin Huiyin's poem "918 Idle Walking" ten years later: "But I don't believe that blood is still boiling, and thoughts are not still spread on the street. ”

This poem was written by Lin Huiyin's third brother who died on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and Lin Huiyin was written under pain and indignation.

There is also Lin Huiyin's "Chinese New Year's Eve to See the Flowers": "The moonlight has frozen, pointing to the mountains everywhere, and the river is even more messy...... Trembling the sorrows of thousands of people, everyone is worried. ”

Flower appreciation is still flower appreciation, but Lin Huiyin's mood after appreciating the flowers has nothing to do with the wind and moon, but has become a sigh of sadness for the broken mountains and rivers, and a sadness for the displacement of the people.

Lin Hui became worried because of the Anti-Japanese War, and Zhou Hexuan was very much looking forward to what poems Xu Zhimo would write in the Anti-Japanese War.

The topic of the salon turned to literature, Zhou Hexuan was not very interested in talking, and barely agreed a few words, but Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin chatted energetically.

In the evening, everyone dispersed, and the next day suddenly came a bombshell news: the 128 incident broke out in Shanghai!

At this time, Lao Jiang couldn't sit still, thinking that the Japanese army was really going to attack Shanghai, so he hurriedly rushed back to Nanjing from his hometown to take up his post, and fully supported the 19th Route Army in the Shanghai War of Resistance - Shanghai is one of Lao Chiang's bases, and it can't be lost!

Chang Kaishen is already crazy, like a cat that has been stepped on by its tail. On January 29, he became chairman of the Central Government's Military Commission (the origin of Chairman Chiang, formerly known as Chairman Chiang or Commander-in-Chief Chiang), and on January 30, he issued the "Declaration on Moving the Capital to Luoyang", saying that he would rather move the capital to fight the Japanese army to the end, and on February 1, he ordered the air force to enter the war, and on February 4, the country was divided into four defense zones, which was a rhythm to be with the Japanese for a long time.

Unfortunately, this posture did not last long, and after discovering that the Japanese had no intention of occupying Shanghai, Lao Chiang quickly withered, and instead took advantage of this "anti-Japanese" to gain more power.

However, after the outbreak of the 128 Incident, Zhou Hexuan's family came to visit again, and he was still a general of the Northwest Army, who came to ask him for advice on strategies for dealing with the Japanese.
