Chapter 649: Japan's Future
The night in Edo Bay is beautiful, but in the eyes of many Japanese, Edo Bay is also humiliating, because there are Chinese warships in Edo Bay, and even the Chinese have leased Yokosuka, although it was once just a fishing village, but in the eyes of many "Chinese factions", it is after all Japanese soil.

Japan's Land ...... Perhaps in the eyes of many "Chinese factions", Japan is still the "country of God". However, for many Japanese countries who understand the world and the times, Japan's "China" is simply a joke. They even ridiculed the "Chinese faction" and told them that without China's protection, Japan would have ceased to exist long ago.
In this regard, many "Chinese factions" of course agree that they recognize the necessity of China's protection of Japan in those years, but they oppose China's step-by-step annexation of Japan, and they believe that Japan will one day be as powerful as China.
However, the views of the "Zunhua faction" have not been recognized, at least for the "Zunhua faction", they have never believed in this viewpoint of the "Zunhua faction".
For Ito Hirobumi who is in China, in the past two years, he has repeatedly witnessed China's strength, so that his whole person has been completely conquered by China, from the original "China faction" to the current "China faction", and even some are developing in the direction of "pro-China faction".
Of course, Ito Hirobumi has not been able to do the "pro-China faction", putting China first in everything, and even taking pride in the name of China, advocating a Japan-China alliance, after all, for Ito Hirobumi, he still has that "Japanese heart" in his heart, but now this heart has been tested again and again.
"And Japan, on the other hand, what does Japan have? Narrow land, even because of the large population, poor land, many farmers have to rely on loans to barely survive, and in order to repay usury have to pawn their daughters, why are so many Japanese daughters married far away from China, in the past we often said that Japanese daughters were robbed by China, but don't forget that they are married to Chinese, do you have to let all the daughters of Japanese farmers go to the city to become prostitutes? It's really ......."
When Ito Hirobumi's complaint just fell, Genrui Kusaka stopped him and said,
"We can also follow China's example and gain colonial ...... overseas in the future"
This is exactly what many "Chinese factions" claim, maybe they don't know much about the world, but through Chinese channels, they know that there are also many uncivilized "barbarians" in Nanyang, and those "barbarians" even stay in the primitive era, maybe Japan can't defeat China, but there is no problem at all in defeating those "barbarians". It is precisely for this reason that the "Chinese faction" believed that without China's constraints, Japan could also be strong, and even acquire more colonies overseas than its own country.
"Colony!"
Kusaka's answer was exchanged for a burst of laughter from Ito Hirobumi, as if he had heard some funny joke, and after a burst of wild laughter, he stared at Kusaka and said.
"Do you know what the trigger for this war between China and Britain was?"
After the rhetorical question, without waiting for Kusaka Genrui to answer, Ito Hirofumi said in a serious tone.
"It is for the sake of the colony, because China is unwilling to make concessions on the colonial issue, and when China looks overseas, they find that the whole world has been occupied by Western countries, and Western countries have basically completed the division of the world hundreds of years ago! And what should China do when it has to go to Africa, where the environment is harsh, and the local natives are in the company of the local people, even if the South Seas, which are close to China, are controlled by the Western powers? Africa was their only choice, but even so, the British and Westerners were not happy to see them expand in Africa, and in the end, China had to defend itself, challenge Britain with relatively weak national strength, and use force to seize richer colonies from Britain......"
When Ito speaks, he often uses an attitude similar to that of the Chinese, which is also a common characteristic of international students who have eaten "Nanjing rice".
"Japan, colonies? Does Japan have the ability to challenge other Western powers? Or will it challenge China in the future? The world of the present is no longer the world of the past, the world of the present, rather than the relationship between countries, but the survival of races, the world of the future must be a competition between Orientals and Westerners, a competition between Caucasians and yellows, only the winner can win a place to survive, if China loses, we, all East Asians, will become Indians, enslaved by Westerners like Indians......"
When he was studying in Nanjing, Ito, like many people, accepted the "concept of racial mapping", and in the future, a war of unprecedented scale would inevitably break out between East Asia and the West, and that war would no longer be for colonies, no longer for others, but for the survival of race, for Westerners who believed in white supremacy, their shouting of "white supremacy" was enough to make East Asians wary.
In order to complete the final integration of the "Chinese civilization system" in East Asia, China has always supported this viewpoint, in addition to instilling in people the "concept of racial mapping", of course, it is inevitable to promote another viewpoint to people, and this is the "theoretical basis" of the East Asian countries, and it is also the idea that China instills in those overseas students.
"China, Japan, North Korea, and Vietnam, the same culture, if in this race map, the four countries can not form a single heart, then it will inevitably be taken by Westerners, and once it fails, there will be no place for East Asians in the world!"
Ito Hirobumi's exclamation made Kusaka Genrui silent for a while, he is no stranger to this point of view, in fact, in Japan, almost all newspapers have articles mentioning this point of view, although Japan is not so convinced of the statement that Japan originated from Xu Fu Dongdu, but it does not prevent the spread of this trend of thought, whether it is Zhao Tuo's Vietnam, or Xunzi's Korea, or Xu Fu's Japan, in fact, it is only to eliminate the "nationalism" of the Three Kingdoms, or China relied on nationalism to overthrow the Manchu Qing, However, they did not want similar views to emerge in Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, and in order to dispell the possible "nationalism" in the three countries, the "same language, same species" theory became the most advantageous weapon. First, there was "the same culture, the same species", and then there was the "common prosperity and common prosperity" to prevent the invasion of Asia by the European powers, and the ultimate goal of "common prosperity" was precisely to integrate the three countries into China.
Many people with lofty ideals in the three countries are very aware of this, but they are powerless to compete with it, not only because they cannot control the government, but even if they control the government, they have no power to resist China, and more importantly, China has always controlled the public opinion of the three countries -- the newspapers of the three countries are all controlled by China, and as early as when the prime minister was first dispatched, the prime minister reached an agreement with the three countries, and the power of examination and approval and examination of newspapers rested with the prime minister, not in the official offices of the three countries. It is not so much a newspaper in Japan, North Korea or Vietnam as it is a newspaper in China, although they are aimed at the people of the three countries, and the people of the three countries also learn about current affairs and the world through these channels, and many of the ideas instilled in the newspapers have influenced the minds of the people of the three countries.
"The Indians were slaves of the Westerners, but what about the Japanese? If we give up, what awaits Japan in the future? Isn't it a slave in China? ”
Kusaka asked with some excitement.
"Aren't Chinese slaves slaves?"
Chinese slaves were slaves, just as the Chinese were slaves of the Manchurians.
"How could China enslave us? Even in the African colonies, can't we Japanese now enjoy the treatment of "honorary Chinese"? Is this slavery? What's best for Japan right now? ”
"What is most beneficial to Japan, I don't know, but Ito, do you want to say that one day there will be no Japanese, and all Japanese will become Chinese!"
Ito Hirobumi was silent for a while due to his friend's questioning, and he did not doubt this possibility, because according to the current situation, this day would be inevitable, and in fact, many Japanese people have chosen to naturalize as Chinese, if this day really comes......
At that point, will it be accepted or rejected?
And this is exactly what Ito Hirobumi is unwilling to face, maybe he is pro-China, but it does not mean that he is willing to see Japan disappear from the world, and he does not want to see no more Japan in the world.
"Japan cannot ...... independently"
Ito shook his head, then said in a painful tone.
"Japan is too small and too weak, and if we become independent, it is very likely that we will become enslaved by Westerners, and at that time, even if we want to be second-class subjects of the empire, we will not be able to do it, because for Westerners, we are not human at all, but a bunch of ridiculous monkeys......"
Second-class subjects of the Empire...... This is the irony of the Japanese for the "honorary Chinese", after all, the "honorary Chinese" are still different from the Chinese in their identities, and it is precisely because of this that there is a "second-class subject of the empire".
"Even as second-class subjects, we can still fight for the same treatment as ordinary Chinese, but if we are enslaved by Westerners, Hisaka ......"
Looking at his friend in pain, Ito said in a heavy tone.
"At that time, no one will treat us as human beings at all, we are just a bunch of slaves who are inferior to pigs and dogs......"
