Chapter 177: Christmas

The diplomatic relations of any country are very complex, involving various aspects, and most of the time they are not subject to personal will at all.

But Japan in this era was an exception, because the United States controlled all aspects of them, and the entire country was almost controlled by MacArthur alone.

From the beginning of 45 years, it was decided that four countries should occupy Japan, and finally it became the exclusive possession of the United States. From the beginning, he was preparing to depose the emperor, and finally the emperor remained.

It also includes specific examples such as the divine toilet, all of which prove that MacArthur in this era is covering the sky with one hand.

Of course, all of this is limited by one criterion, which is that it is in the interests of the United States in Asia, which is the premise of all of this.

The foreign policy of the United States has never been static, and it is affected by changes in the current situation and is being fine-tuned at any time.

There is a matter of core interest in everything, and as long as MacArthur does not violate this general principle, no one can interfere with his decision.

So when MacArthur's heart was moved, although Zhou Nan's face was silent, his heart was full of joy.

How domineering MacArthur was can be seen from President Truman.

MacArthur came to Asia in '37 and returned to Hawaii only once, in a meeting with President Roosevelt. Truman had been in office for several years, and several times he called MacArthur to go back, but MacArthur did not drop him at all.

If Zhou Nan's memory is correct, the only time they met was more than a year later, in October 50.

For this meeting, Truman specially accommodated him, flew 12,000 kilometers, and spent a whole day flying to Wake Island in the western Pacific Ocean to meet him.

But at that time, MacArthur had almost completely fallen out with Truman, who belonged to the Democratic Party, and only gave him three hours, and flew back to Japan without even having lunch with Truman.

Because of Zhou Nan's proposal, MacArthur gave him much more face, not only invited Zhou Nan to a sumptuous lunch, but also discussed with Zhou Nan how to carry out industrial reform all afternoon.

Forty-five years after the defeat of Japan, much of the industrial equipment was planned to be dismantled to compensate China and other countries.

However, after many countries received only $10 million worth of industrial equipment, the compensation program was halted by MacArthur.

Since last year, MacArthur has wanted to use Japan as a testing ground for his political ambitions.

Of course, Zhou Nan did not want to see this, because the rise of Japan would mean repeating the history of another life.

He would prefer MacArthur to turn his attention back home and focus on the presidential election in a few years' time.

As long as he does not insist on Asia as the strategic center, the military's impression of him will change, and the Congress will change its impression of him if he no longer desperately asks for aid from Japan.

He will no longer protect Japan, and Asian countries will also have a different impression of him.

Suffice it to say that in the last year before the fifties, the United States did not see the mainland as a threat, let alone the blockade of the island chain.

As long as MacArthur did not insist, South China would even have a chance to take over the British-occupied zone of Borneo and turn the South China Sea into an inland sea for the Chinese.

If this opportunity is missed, this goal will never be achieved.

MacArthur still believes in Zhou Nan's international vision, and he also thinks that Zhou Nan's analysis is very reasonable.

Asia's European-centric foreign policy will not change now, at least in the short term. It was not until the fall of the Soviet Union that they shifted their focus to Asia.

But in this era, no one can believe that the behemoth of the Soviet Union will fall in just a few decades.

Therefore, turning MacArthur's eyes back to the United States and abandoning his hard-line policy in Asia became Zhou's main goal.

Of course, he couldn't tell MacArthur directly, but just broke everything down, analyzed it to him bit by bit, and let him think about it for himself.

Whether he listens or not, there is no loss to Zhou Nan.

As long as he can continue to lock Kishi in prison, it is one thing whether the Liberal Democratic Party will emerge in the future, let alone rule Japan for 57 years from 55 years.

Without him, a-stirring stick with a lot of hidden funds, even if there are still far-right parties, there is no money, no people, and it will take a while to form a powerful force.

As the sun set, Zhou Nan's special plane flew away from the US military air base in Cavite.

MacArthur walked alone on the lawn by the runway for a long time, and he still hadn't fully digested what Zhou Nan said today.

From his heart, he thinks that Zhou Nan, a Chinese, is not credible. But he had to admit that many of the things he said made sense.

The United States' current strategic focus is indeed on Europe, and in the past decade, it has moved further and further away from the domestic government.

Although his banner also uses interests to attract a large number of soldiers, he also has to admit that this will only make it more and more difficult for him to turn now.

He has run twice, but the results have been disappointing. Now the only chance is the one in four years, because he will be sixty-eight years old this year, and in four years, he will be seventy-two.

If he still can't succeed after four years, it means that he will retire from the stage of history.

Zhou Nan has become a devil's spokesman in his heart, and his advice will plunge Japan into the abyss.

Of course, he will not do exactly what he suggests, and then Japan will probably become a red Japan.

However, Japan's chaebol cannot be left uncontrolled, and how to grasp the scale in the middle will be a very important task.

Yes, he has decided to adopt some of Zhou's suggestions, because the benefits are obvious.

As long as he relents a little, the countries of Asia will support him as a god.

As long as Japan is not left in ruins, it is time for him to use Japan's compensation to maintain her impression in the minds of other countries.

This is good for his plans in four years.

It's just that he still hasn't guessed Zhou Nan's heart, which makes him a little worried.

He has never liked the Chinese, because the history of this nation is too long, they have fought for thousands of years, and when it comes to intrigues and tricks, there is hardly any nation that can compare with them.

Perhaps, he could increase his support for the Blues a little, even though it looks like they are already losing.

A huge nation with endless infighting is not a threat.

No matter what Zhou Nan's true purpose was, he wouldn't let him achieve it easily.

He beckoned, and the guards immediately trotted over. "Get the plane ready, I need to get back to Tokyo right away."

Zhou Nan only stayed in Nanhua for one night, and the next day he took off directly from the runway of Hughes Aircraft Company and left Nanhua.

On the plane, two have recovered, but Storko still has five more that have not recovered.

Huang Zhiqing's family also returned to Switzerland with Zhou Nan, and this time they will discuss the wedding arrangements with Kelvin's mother.

Although Huang Zhiqing is only eighteen years old, Kelvin is almost thirty-one years old. The proposal to marry was made by Stolko, but no one in the Huang family refused.

It was already December 21 after returning to Switzerland, and the day before, it had snowed heavily, and the Buochs airport was closed, and Zhou Nan's plane had to stop at Zurich airport.

On the 22nd, Zhou Nan went to Bern to attend the last regular meeting before Christmas.

On the 23rd, he postponed his trip to Germany for Christmas, but stayed at home, waiting for news from Asia.

It was almost noon, and the news that seven Class-A war criminals including Hideki Tojo were hanged on the radio all over the world was broadcast, and Zhou Nan's heart was completely calmed.

He has changed many things in this world, but for this event, he does not want to change at all.

What made him even happier was that the South China delegation to Japan also sent a telegram at the same time, saying that Kishi Nobuyuki, who had been acquitted and released the next day, could not be released from prison this time.

MacArthur claimed to have obtained another conclusive piece of evidence that Kishi Nobuyuki had a direct connection with the notorious Unit 731, and that he was responsible for participating in and supporting the biochemical experiments of 731.

Therefore, the Tokyo court will review his responsibility and will decide at a later date.

The Tokyo Tribunal was a knife in MacArthur's hand, and even the Far East Tribunal, which began to be established by the United Nations, was almost the same.

Whoever he wants to die, there is no possibility of life.

Zhou Nan is also waiting for this result to see what MacArthur can do?

If he really executes Kishi Shinjie, Zhou Nan will definitely accept this favor. But if you just deal with it without pain, don't blame Zhou Nan for stumbling on him in the future.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Zhou Nan's plane took off from Zurich and landed at the airport in Braunschweig, a small town south of Wolfsburg.

Caroline's mother and they drove dozens of kilometers to the airport despite the cold, just to admire Zhou Nan's plane.

Leon, in particular, was about to get excited, and he said vigorously that he would sit down once when he went back.

This made Melissa, who came to the vacation with Zhou Nan and them, mock very unceremoniously, and the angry Leon ignored her, the yellow-haired girl.

But if he ignores her, she will cry. Leon has no human rights at all now, and has no choice, so he has no choice but to coax her again.

The adults were very happy to watch them make trouble, but he complained to Zhou Nan behind his back, women are really troublesome.

Zhou Nan really wanted to ask him, I'm afraid he hasn't experienced women! But considering his age, he still doesn't take this younger brother with him.

Everyone was happy, only Audrey was a little nervous.

Because before coming to Germany this time, she was allowed to visit her father by the United States and Germany.

Zhou Nan is also very curious about this father-in-law, although his life is a tragedy, but after all, he brought Audrey to the world and gave him a good wife.

So he is still looking forward to this meeting.

He looked forward to it, but Audrey was afraid that her father still didn't like her, and she always thought that the reason why her father abandoned her in the first place was because she was a girl.

Although she has memories of her father's love for her, and there are many photos of her father taking care of her, she is still afraid.
