Before coming to the Philippines, Zhou Nan carefully considered what kind of reason he should put forward for the meeting.

Help Nanhua claim compensation? That's a substitute for the overstepping.

Want to help the Chinese claim compensation? There is no stand.

Want the United States to punish Japan severely? That's even more of a joke!

So from the very beginning, he made a decision, the conditions proposed must not be too big, indecent and embarrassing for the other party, but at the same time it must be reasonable.

What is his purpose? It's not such an unreliable thing as deposing the emperor and blowing up the shrine toilet, he dares to make such a request, it is beyond his strength.

The United States is not Europe, and it does not owe him the slightest favor.

Therefore, the most appropriate means is to be less demanding and not make MacArthur find it difficult to do.

Then, the most suitable condition is to only target the Kishi letter knot.

No one knows how important this person is to Japan's future and how much influence he will have on future changes. Without him, Japan's future revival of militarism, the control of politics by the far right, and the change of textbooks would not have happened.

Even if this happens in the future, the influence will definitely not be so great.

A good leader has a great impact on history.

Liu Bang, Zhu Yuanzhang Before the rise, who could know that they could be emperors?

Without a mustache, who could have known that Germany almost ruled all of Europe?

For the Japanese right-wingers, Kishi Nobuyuki is also such an important figure who carries forward the past and forges ahead into the future, unifies thinking, and unites all the ultra-rightists.

But at the beginning, Zhou Nan will definitely not reveal his purpose, and if he directly targets Kishi Shinkyu, it will make things more difficult to solve.

He must first make a seemingly unreasonable request, and after the other party refuses, then pretend to settle for the next best thing, and then make a less difficult request, so that he is less likely to be denied.

Hearing MacArthur's question, Zhou Nan asked him to sit down before he spoke: "As far as I know, His Excellency the General once wanted to burn down the divine toilet, why didn't he implement it in the end?" ”

MacArthur smiled and said, "Burning down the toilet will meet with fierce resistance from the Japanese side." In its confidential document "Views on the Future of the Yasukuni Shrine," the War Intelligence Bureau concluded that the abolition of the shrine would increase incidents. We want to continue to occupy Japan, not to make it out of control. ”

He asked rhetorically, "On December 15, 45, I issued the Shinto Directive, which included cutting off the protection of Shinto by the state. From this day on, the shrine toilet became a religious shrine in Japan, and it became a religious independent legal entity with the same rights as other religious temples around the world. Don't know if you've studied this file? ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "The general is a far-sighted person, and I admire you very much for this decision." But the general ignores two reasons, so it will only frustrate your purpose. ”

He smiled, looked at his colleagues, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm listening." ”

"The first reason is that the general does not understand the difference between Eastern and Western thinking. The spirit of respecting contracts in the West has become a search for loopholes in contracts in the East to circumvent legal restrictions. What is the ultimate goal of cutting off Shinto thought? It is to humanize the emperor and lose his original godhead. But the East has never been a religious society, and the gods that Westerners believe in have become something that can be seen or inherited in the East. For example, I'm a Taoist heir, but I don't believe in God, I just believe in this spirit, I believe in my ancestors. ”

He frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that I'm cutting off Shinto now and thinking I'm getting there, but I'm not really there? ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said: "Oriental people have never really believed in God, what we have always believed in is only a spiritual inheritance, a bloodline inheritance. Therefore, cutting off Shinto may seem to have caused the emperor to lose his original worship, but in fact, it did not affect people's respect for militarism and their predecessors, and this spirit will still be passed on. ”

He asked with some curiosity, "Then what do you think is really effective?" ”

"Set a strict standard, for example, cancel the worship of some temples and prohibit the addition of new tablets."

He shook his head and smiled and asked, "So, what's the second reason?" ”

Zhou Nan knew that he would not listen to him, because if he did, it would only lead to popular discontent in Japan, which would not be conducive to his rule.

He now just wants Japan to be stable, and then use those results to prove his ability and prepare him for the White House.

Zhou Nan's proposal would only provoke social conflicts, and he certainly refused to do so.

But Zhou Nan's purpose was not here in the first place, even though he had some fame now, but to MacArthur, he was an insignificant outsider. If you can talk to him today, you are already giving face.

Aside from a few suggestions that were sure to be in MacArthur's favor, MacArthur wouldn't give him much face.

Zhou Nan smiled and said: "The general has always wanted to have a higher development in the political arena, and of course he will not stay in Japan forever." When you leave Japan, do you think Japan will continue to follow the path you set? ”

MacArthur laughed and said, "Jonas, if you come to see me today and just talk about this, maybe I'll disappoint you." Japan's policy toward Japan is based on the interests of the United States and will not change because of anyone's wishes. Compared to these suggestions of yours, I am more curious about the meaning of what you just said about 'ordinary young people who want to avenge their father'? I know that your biological father died at the hands of the Japanese, so it is understandable that you are full of hatred for the Japanese......"

Zhou Nan knew that he could not ask for more in this regard, because it was not an individual who was involved, but a country. If he had asked for it from the position of the state, it might have some effect, but today he was meeting with MacArthur on a personal basis.

So he didn't feel sorry, took a sip of coffee and said: "During the invasion of China, there was a person called the Showa Demon, although he never entered the army and directly participated in the invasion of China, but some of the things he did were more cruel than the army......

The smile on MacArthur's face disappeared, and he asked solemnly, "Jonas, is there any proof?" ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said with a smile: "If there is solid evidence, the Far East Trial Court will not directly exempt this Class A war criminal from trial, right?" ”

Zhou Nan deliberately said that the Far Eastern Inquisition instead of MacArthur himself was actually saving face for him.

Because the one who finally decided to let Kishi Nobu go was MacArthur.

"No, he was just mistakenly classified as a Class A war criminal, which has been carefully analyzed by us."

Zhou Nan smiled and said, "I'm not a judge, and I don't need to convict him, I just want to talk about some things I know." ”

He nodded, spread his hands and said, "You please continue." ”

"As far as I know, the notorious 731 Army, all the research funds came from him, you should know how many innocent people have lost their lives painfully in this experiment, but the Far Eastern Inquisition did not investigate the hand holding the knife, only the knife that was held."

MacArthur groaned for a moment and asked, "Does he have anything to do with your father's death?" ”

Zhou Nan wanted to let him misunderstand like this, nodded and said: "According to my investigation, at that time, he was the director of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Industry, the vice minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the deputy director of the General Affairs Department in the puppet Manchukuo government, and collecting Chinese antiques and documents was one of his important responsibilities. My father was trying to protect some of the Taoist scriptures, and then he clashed with the Japanese and was eventually shot. At that time, it involved Kishi Nobuyu, his close allies Matsuoka Yomata, Mitsui & Co., and some big names in the Manchurian-Mongolian Railway Bureau. ”

"So...... You ...... today," he sat up straight, pulled his stool, and said, "You only came to see me today in a private capacity, is that what you mean?" ”

Zhou Nan nodded, and he said again: "Matsuoka Yang has passed away again, Mitsui & Co. is also on the verge of bankruptcy, and the Manchurian-Mongolian Railway Company has been dissolved, so your purpose is the person of Kishi Nobuk." ”

Zhou Nan nodded with a smile and said, "Although I am now a macro international relations expert, I am still an ordinary person. As for the war that Japan once launched, they were also for the rich resources of the mainland, which was a national enmity and had nothing to do with personal grudges. Personally, I only want my enemies to be punished as they deserve. ”

Under the awning, there are not many people sitting. Without a certain identity, they can only sit at the other end of the long table, or they can record the conversation behind them.

So Zhou Nan didn't have any worries, and directly said his request.

The destructive power of this person is too great, and if Zhou Nan is not a family pressure now, he will be released after a few days.

Once released, he would use the gold and supplies he had plundered in Tohoku to open a company in Tokyo. And most of the members of this company are right-wingers and politicians who have been stripped of public office.

After that, he will begin to become active in Japanese politics and form the Liberal Democratic Party, Japan's far-right force. He co-opted the Blue Party in Wanwan, and colluded with the United States, but he was extremely hostile to the mainland, and the Japan-US Security Treaty was also signed after he became prime minister.

Although he was later impeached and removed from power, his power was so great that even his younger brother could become prime minister. In later Japan, the Liberal Democratic Party was also the most powerful.

From the 55th year the Liberal Democratic Party came to power to 2017, there were 44 prime ministers in the 62 years since then. The far-right Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has been in power for 57 years, and 37 prime ministers have all been elected from this party that is extremely hostile to the Chinese.

Therefore, Zhou Nan will not let him be released easily no matter what, and if MacArthur does not give him this face, he will also directly deprive the other party of his life like the opposite Gangmuraji.

Although he didn't want to.

MacArthur did not refuse outright, but asked with a smile: "It's not difficult for me, but why should I do it?" And what do I get? ”
