Subtitle of this chapter: After thinking about it, Murong decided that he still had to respect Japanese performing artists and not make fun of them. After all, these teachers are still very dedicated compared to their counterparts in a large country in the East.

"At the beginning of the twentieth century, Japan had two pamphlets that had a profound impact on history: one was the Outline of the Japanese Reform Act, and the other was "Japan Can Say No." Later, people combined the two books into one and called it the Japanese version of Mein Kampf. ”

"The author of the Outline of the Japanese Reform Act is Kazuki Kita, the 'father of Japanese fascism.'"

In 1906, at the age of twenty-three, he joined the Revolutionary Review Society and the League, and began his thirteen-year career in the Chinese revolution. After the Japanese occupation of Qingdao, the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese people was high, and Kita Yihui thought that there was no longer any place to contribute to the Chinese revolution. After this, he began to turn his attention back to Japan. In order for China and Japan to live in peace, he advocated overthrowing the existing Japanese political system and completely abandoning the traditional China policy of taking aggression against China as the national rule. In 1919, he wrote the "Outline of the Japanese Reform Act" in Shanghai, advocating the rebuilding of Japan by means of armed revolution. ”

"The book is divided into eight parts, the last of which is the rights of the state. In addition to defence, the state has the right to wage war against other nations and peoples oppressed by the force of unrighteousness, such as India, China, Siberia, and Australia. ”

Kita Ikki claimed that Japan was the international proletariat, Russia was the world's big landlord, and Britain was the world's richest man, and that it was just to wage war against them. Through war, an Asian empire centered on Japan was established. In turn, national borders will be abolished and world peace will be realized. ”

"However, "Japan Can Say No" is more radical than the "Outline of the Japanese Reform Act." It unabashedly puts forward the idea of the 'ultimate war of the world', where only one between the yellow race and the white race can finally dominate the world. Therefore, Japan, as the representative of the yellow race, must prepare for this big war from now on. ”

However, the author of "Japan Can Say No" has only one pseudonym, and it is still a feminine pseudonym, Nan Sato Xiang (南リカ). Most later historians believe that the author's use of this pseudonym was a tribute to Kita Kazuki. He was certainly a believer in National Socialism. And according to the way the Japanese version is written, this person should be an officer with a complete military education. It is very likely that he will be a member of the 'Showa Staff' in the future. ”

"The way 'Japan Can Say No' is also circulated is very strange. The pamphlet was first known not in Japan, but in the United States. It first appeared in the English version before the eyes of the world. It is no wonder that the Japanese side at that time called it a fake to 'slander the Great Japanese Empire'. ”

"However, the Americans and the Japanese of the same era did not see the ...... of "Japan Can Say No" that way."

—Excerpt from "100 Books That Influenced the Twentieth Century"

Minister Shi Zhaoji read it hastily, and couldn't help shaking his head and sneering: "What kind of battle between yellow and white, it's really a fool's dream......

"Hung gradually ......," he muttered, then raised his head, "If you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Our Master Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Zhigong, you think it's a fool's dream, but some fools in this world are indeed dreaming like this, and some people who are not foolish want other fools to have such a big dream." And we just want the world to know that the Japanese are idiots who dream like this. ”

Shi Zhaoji is not stupid, and he completely understands Yuan Yanqian's tongue twister. However, his old man was a little unimpressed with this way of operation, and shook his head with a smile: "Hong Yan, I understand what my brother meant." However, your idea is too fanciful and a bit ...... Ahem, ahem. ”

This intellectual, who was still too strong, swallowed the words "unscrupulous" and continued: "What's more, if we throw out this pamphlet, will the Westerners believe it?" ”

Yuan Yanqian opened her mouth and retorted: "Zhigong, why don't the Westerners believe it? They can believe in the more absurd and nonsensical Yellow Peril theory, why can't they believe in this Yellow and White War? ”

Whether it was a hundred years ago or a hundred years from now, there are certainly fewer Westerners who know the East than there are Easterners who know about the West, and there are far fewer of them.

There is no way, the center of human civilization after the Age of Discovery and the Renaissance is indeed in the Western world, and it can be said that Western civilization suppresses Eastern civilization in all aspects, which makes Oriental people, especially elites, have to understand the West and deal with Westerners.

Capitalism, which pursued profits despite all obstacles, allowed Western industrial products to penetrate into the homes of Orientals, such as Mobil Oil in 1914, which had more than 500 outlets throughout China. Anyone who can afford a kerosene lamp knows the name of this company.

Therefore, at that time, even the ignorant commoners who were in a convenient country, illiterate, and even thought that there was an emperor, knew from these foreign oil, foreign fire, foreign nails, foreign guns and foreign cannons that the Westerners with big noses were so powerful.

On the other hand, Westerners, their plebeian class, and most of the elite do not have this need to understand the East.

And this Western-centrism coupled with the hegemony of public opinion has even blocked the channels for Westerners to understand the East.

That's why, until the 21st century, some Westerners still think that the Seris still dragged their braids around their little feet.

For example, the author of the famous monograph on Japanese culture, "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", is indeed an anthropologist, but she has never been to Japan or even knows Japanese.

She simply "constructed" an overview of Japanese culture by gathering information from propaganda films released in Japan at the time, interviews with Japanese-Americans and prisoners of war in concentration camps, and Japanese literature.

The bisexual anthropologist concludes that Japanese shota are spoiled, which makes them grow up with a lot of contradictions in their personalities.

According to this, the little suns of a large country in the East, including Yuan Hongji, will become neon gold when they grow up.

For our Master Yuan, "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife" is simply a joke, and he won't copy it if he kills him...... Well, if you copy it, you have to be anonymous.

However, it is precisely because of this that he can easily lead Western public opinion to "smear" little Japan. Not even Mrs. Nidictor these days, anyway.

Yuan Yanqian persuaded bitterly: "Zhigong, Machiavelli has a famous saying, when you can win by deception, you must never rely on force. Another wise man said, don't let your sense of morality stop you from making the right decisions. ”

Well, the sage's name is Isaac Asimov.

"I don't want to talk about the force of our country, and this book is not a deception, it is written by the Japanese themselves......"

Hey, ten years from now, Japanese people are Japanese.

"Of course, we don't have to believe rumors or spread rumors, but we can still help Westerners recognize the true colors of the Japanese and make them more vigilant. Zhigong, Zhigong, this is beneficial to me and even to world peace. ”

Hey, for the peace of the world, in order to add to the blockage of the little devils, you are old and have to leave!
