Liao Yaquan held the more than 20 pages of the manuscript newly written by Zhou Hexuan and read it curiously:

"The Japanese are aggressive by nature and gentle and modest; It is both reckless and advocating beauty; both arrogant and polite; It is both stubborn and unrelenting, but can stretch and bend; tame but unwilling to be manipulated; Loyal and rebellious; both brave and cowardly; Both conservative and receptive to a new way of life.

The chrysanthemum and the knife symbolize this contradiction.

In order to deal with Japan, we must first understand the intentions of the Japanese, which is extremely difficult.

Japan has been opening its closed doors for decades. Nowadays, when foreigners talk about Japan, they are still confused by their actions.

A serious and responsible humanistic sociologist, as long as he is not Japanese, will not say that this people is polite and at the same time add, 'However, they are very arrogant and arrogant,' nor will he say that this nation is stubborn and 'but they are also quite adapted to drastic change'...... Nor will it talk about how the people admire Western culture and exaggerate their stubborn conservatism......

In a major war, the Japanese considered it completely unnecessary to help the victims. For example, in the Russo-Japanese War, when retreating, military doctors would even shoot all the wounded and sick first, or let them commit suicide with grenades. It seems to us that the Japanese have simply committed a crime against their compatriots......"

The original work of "Chrysanthemum and the Sword" analyzes Japan mainly through World War II. Zhou Hexuan naturally could not do this, he focused on the analysis of the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, as well as various extreme contradictions since the Meiji Restoration in Japan.

Even the Jinan tragedy that had just occurred was brought up by Zhou Hexuan for discussion: "When the Japanese were fighting, they often considered an issue that showed the uniqueness of Japanese thinking. They often say, 'The whole world is watching us!' Therefore, in the course of the war, they must carry forward the Japanese spirit and bring out the most glorious and magnificent side of this nation...... The Japanese care so much about the impression they leave on the rest of the world, and honor is even more important than their own lives. At the same time, they have no regard for a bad international image. The Jinan tragedy completely showed the bestiality of the Japanese, who did not even abide by the basic international rules and disregarded their own national reputation, as if this was not a modern civilized country......"

The original work is extremely flawed, after all, the author has never been to Japan, and everything he writes comes from the collection of sources. For example, it ignores the differentiation of Japanese social classes, the changes in Japan's social environment, and the evolution of Japan's historical traditions.

Zhou Hexuan deleted a lot of content about World War II, but added the origin of Japanese culture and history, starting from the period of sending Tang envoys, and even added the influence of Korea on Japan during the Han Dynasty.

Liao Yaquan sweated on his forehead when he read it, and he was not only shocked in his heart, but even felt a kind of fear, which was the fear that his soul would be seen through.

She thinks these manuscripts are talking about herself!

"Are you uncomfortable?" Zhou Hexuan didn't know when he came to her.

"I didn't ...... Oh yes, I'm a little uncomfortable. Maybe I had a cold and was sweating a little. Liao Yaquan wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with a panicked expression, completely losing his basic qualities as a spy.

Zhou Hexuan smiled with concern: "I'll accompany you to the doctor, don't be tired." ”

"No, no, I'll just go myself." Liao Yaquan hurriedly said.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Then I went to the foreigners' club with Le Yi and Wanrong, and you have a good rest after taking the medicine." ”

"Okay, you don't have to worry about me." Liao Yaquan smiled reluctantly.

When Zhou Hexuan took Zhang Leyi and Wanrong out of the house, Liao Yaquan took the manuscript of "Chrysanthemum and the Knife" and called a rickshaw to go straight to Inoue Hospital.

Jiro Mitsui sent a patient away, took out a medical record book and asked, "What new information do you have?" ”

Liao Yaquan took out the manuscript and held it with both hands: "Mitsui-kun, please be sure to read this book, this is a new book written by Zhou Hexuan." ”

Jiro Mitsui opened the manuscript and read it carefully, and his face was solemn after reading a few pages.

As the saying goes, I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.

No one has ever summed up the national character of the Japanese, and the Japanese themselves are accustomed to it, so they don't find anything strange about it.

However, Zhou Hexuan's "Chrysanthemum and Knife" analyzes the national character of the Japanese thoroughly and profoundly. When Mitsui Jiro read it at this time, he felt that it was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Zhou Hexuan is worthy of being a university scholar, and reading this book can give you insight into the spiritual outlook of the empire." ”

Liao Yaquan worried: "Once this book comes out, it will be like being stripped naked and recognized by the world without reservation. Perhaps, one day the Chinese and Westerners will take this book and carry out targeted strategies against the empire. ”

Mitsui Jiro nodded, "That's true." This Zhou Hexuan also has too deep an understanding of our Great Japanese Empire. ”

Liao Yaquan said coldly: "Do you want to kill him?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry," Mitsui Jiro warned, "If Zhou Hexuan is just a simple scholar, then there is not much of a threat, and this book "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife" is only an academic work. In the face of ferocious guns, even if China had ten such books, it would not be a match for the empire at all. You must always remember that your mission is to find out the mysterious organization behind Zhou Hexuan. ”

Liao Yaquan said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, every time Zhou Hexuan talks about key points, he deliberately changes the topic. Why don't we arrest him and torture him to extract a confession, we will definitely be able to pry his mouth open! ”

"No," Jiro Mitsui said, waving his hand, "what if you can't ask anything?" It's going to startle you. The organization behind him is very mysterious, and Zhou Hexuan is the only clue, and this clue must not be broken. In the future, you have to find the right time to ask him more when he is drunk, because people can't always stay sober. ”

"Understood!" Liao Yaquan bowed and said, "Please prescribe cold medicine for me for a few days." ”

Jiro Mitsui pointed to the manuscript and said, "When you go back, copy all the manuscripts of "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife" to me." ”

Liao Yaquan was sad when it came to copying books, she copied it for more than a month some time ago, and said weakly: ""Chrysanthemum and Knife" has not been written yet, you can buy it directly after it is published. ”

Jiro Mitsui shook his head and said, "I want the original manuscript of it, and the original manuscript and the published content are not exactly the same." Only the original manuscript can analyze the author's true thoughts, and remember, even if the content of the original manuscript is deleted, it must be copied word for word. ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" When Liao Yaquan spoke, his wrists couldn't help twitching.
