Chapter 122: Wait

The contradiction between China and Japan in Shanghai, because Sanyou Industry and Donghua Towel Factory were burned down before and after, and the contradiction between China and Japan was further expanded.

Wen Hao thought to himself that the Japanese were born to just find an excuse to attack Shanghai, China, so as to divert international attention.

Wen Hao simply made the matter bigger, so that some people became wary of the Japanese, and he didn't have the heart to tell those politicians some great truths that would transcend time and space in later generations.

Those politicians have been full of mud in their minds for a long time, and it is useless to say it, so it is better to make a big deal out of it and make them think that the Japanese will definitely retaliate. It's more useful than reasoning with them.

Chinese politicians pay lip service to reasoning, but their actions are completely different from what he says.

Therefore, some politicians gave Wei a chance to let the Japanese into the negotiating table, but because of the troubles of the black man, the Japanese would retaliate against Shanghai.

Wen Hao hoped that it would be good for the government to have such thoughts, so that it would be good to increase the vigilance of the Japanese.

The most popular words for a dictatorial government, a government of corrupt officials, are peace, friendship, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, and so on.

A country full of corrupt officials is full of internal contradictions, and if there is only the intervention of foreign forces, such a regime will be unstable.

A clear and honest government is deeply loved by the people, but when other countries are allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the country, will the people listen to foreign forces?

As the old saying goes, the body is not afraid of shadows, and a government should not be afraid of others making irresponsible remarks when it does its job well. Don't forget that the eyes of the masses are bright and know who is right and who is wrong.

The first choice before the Nationalist Government was: Shanghai to fight or not to fight?

There is no doubt about the conclusion, of course, that you should not take the initiative to fight. The Shanghai Incident was only a means for Japan to divert international attention, and its purpose was to smoothly establish the puppet state of Manchukuo.

If it does, it is unlikely that China will win in the first place. In terms of military strength, the Japanese army could easily mobilize a well-equipped army of 100,000 to Shanghai. At that time, the squadron was not a modern army at all (in 931, it was just opened to form a new army under the guidance of German advisers, and by 1936 only 56 new divisions had been formed. Although the combat effectiveness of these divisions is several times greater than that of the 1931 divisions, they are still not modern armies, and there is still a huge gap in equipment and training. Even if the Chinese side mobilized 250,000 people, it would be difficult to completely defeat the 100,000 Japanese army, and at that time, it was only 500,000 (including some warlord troops) that could be commanded. They have to rely on money to impress), keep at least 400,000 or more to deal with ** and local warlords, and the rest of the troops are really unable to fight with the Japanese army for a long time, and there are only six infantry divisions on the Beijing-Shanghai and Beijing-Hangzhou fronts. Less than 80,000 people.

To fight a war is to win in the end, and if you take the initiative to fight even though you know that you will lose, you are undoubtedly a fool and a person who ignores the lives of your own compatriots.

Therefore, some people always accuse the Nationalist Government of not resisting, and try to ask if it is necessary to fight the war if it is bound to lose? Unless it's a fool. Either it is the wrong thing to take the lives of the Chinese.

War is an objective comparison of national strength, and not only enthusiasm can win. At that time, 600,000 Boxer soldiers shouted the slogan of invulnerability, danced broadswords and spears and braved the fire of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and swore to the death again and again.

Second, to start a war is to fall into the trap of Japan. Manchukuo was established on March 9, 1932, when the League of Nations was busy sending a delegation to Shanghai to deal with the problems of Shanghai. There was no timely and strong condemnation of Manchukuo. By the time the Lytton delegation arrived in Shenyang, China, it was April 21, and Manchukuo had been established for a month.

It can be said that the 128 Incident was relatively successful for Japan, and it effectively diverted the attention of the international community.

Again, the objective conditions are not yet available. Since December 1931, Chiang Gong has been forced to stay overnight for the sake of national reunification under the strong attack of the Kuomintang internal opposition on the side of the Guangzhou government. The Guangzhou government, which attacked Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship, betrayed the country, and did not resist the Japanese, came to Nanjing to take up his post and preside over the overall situation of China. They were unashamed to declare. There is a decisive battle with Japan. (At that time, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's son, Sun Ke's foreign minister, Chen Youren, even suggested that the government break off diplomatic relations with Japan and prepare for a war.)

The so-called people are not struggling to carry the burden, and they are carrying the burden and breaking the spine.

War is an objective comparison of national strength, and not only enthusiasm can win. At that time, 600,000 Boxer soldiers shouted the slogan of invulnerability. Dancing broadswords and spears braved the fire of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance, although the courage was commendable, but in the end the whole army was defeated, and the blood flowed like a river, and even the Forbidden City in Beijing was occupied by foreign devils, and the most humiliating Xinchou treaty in Chinese history was signed.

Corrupt government such as the Qing government and the Nationalist government. The corrupt official system will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people of the country, so the biggest task of the corrupt official government must be to suppress domestic resistance, and there is no spare strength to use troops abroad. Historically, there has never been a precedent for corrupt government governments to use military force to win abroad. I have a saying that I would like you to remember: If a country does not know that there is a people, the people do not know that there is a country.

Once encountering external aggression, there is only weak concession, even if you dare to fight against the invaders, you will not be able to defeat these invaders.

China's victory was partly due to its own resistance, and it was also due to the intervention of external international forces that we had a great chance to breathe.

When such a corrupt government encounters a provocation from a country weaker than itself, today this small country occupies an island of yours, and tomorrow that weaker country will dare to invade a reef on you.

Why do they dare to treat a great country like this? Because this is a country ruled by a corrupt government, in their eyes it is a paper tiger, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

What kind of government is a real paper tiger? Whether it is imperialism or fascism, maybe they are paper tigers, but the real paper tigers are corrupt governments.

Wen Hao also knows that judging from the current situation in China, fighting a war with the Japanese is more defeated than won, but this war is unavoidable, so it is better to let the Sino-Japanese contradictions expand and let the Chinese government be more psychologically prepared.

Therefore, as soon as he attacked the Japanese, he was a killer, and sometimes even the Japanese expatriates were not spared.

Moreover, these Japanese expatriates also received weapons from the military and will also participate in the Shanghai Incident.

Wen Hao could only wait for the coming of January 28, 1932, when Shanghai would suffer the first catastrophe. (To be continued.) )

PS: I don't think I'm very good at writing cool essays, so I'm wondering if I should rewrite a fantasy or science fiction novel.
