8 The Death of Kanto (8)

"If we can defeat China......"

"If you can get market ......"

"If you can ......"

That's what you hear in the "anti-government salons." It seems that if we get rid of other countries and take what they have, all of Japan's problems can be solved.

There are too many slots in this kind of thinking, and Kita Yihui can't systematically comment on it. Regardless of the fact that these fantasies are not possible at all, Kita Kazuki thinks that the most ridiculous thing about these people is that these Japanese people will actually believe that the Japanese ruling class will share most of the benefits of the realization to the people at the bottom.

In the system built by the People's Party, efforts are made to turn all working people into the ruling class in China. Regardless of the size of the ruling class, China's benefits are naturally shared by the sheer number of ruling classes. As the ruled class, the lower strata of Japan can only rely on others and wait for the ruling class to scatter some scraps and feed these people. The state is an instrument of class rule, and the toilers who cannot become the ruling class are doomed to no future. The level of consciousness of the Japanese masses made Kita Kazuki, who was trying to carry out revolutionary propaganda, like a tiger gnawing on a hedgehog, and he had no way to put his mouth shut.

Even so, Kita Ichiki haunts various counterrevolutionary salons whenever he has time, and if he wants to mobilize the masses, he cannot detach himself from them. Mixing up the face is also a preparation before publicity.

Opportunities are available to all without discrimination, and only those who are prepared can discover them. As soon as Kita Yihui sat down, before he could take a sip of the wine mixed with water, he saw several young soldiers who were talking about it looking at him with very unfriendly eyes. Drinking slowly alone without showing signs of sadness is a very uncommon situation in Japan.

Picking up the wine bowl, he smiled kindly at the young soldiers, and Bei Yihui had no intention of taking the initiative to go over and talk. However, those young soldiers were different from Bei Yihui, a young man wearing the rank of second lieutenant got up and walked up to Bei Yihui, and said loudly in a very unfriendly tone: "What have you been watching us do? ”

can be mixed into the second lieutenant, which can be regarded as entering the middle and lower ranks of the army. The second lieutenant was not very old, and he had learned to speak loudly in the army, but he had not yet reached the point of being rude to civilians at will. Bei Yihui got up and said with a smile: "I just listened to a few people talk about the situation, and I felt a little touched." ”

Bei Yihui didn't know whether to tell the truth or not, the performance of young soldiers obviously didn't know the cruelty of war, and they didn't know what kind of bloody wind they would encounter if they went to the battlefield.

The second lieutenant looked at Bei Yihui's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and his heart was even more angry, "Do you think there is anything wrong with what we said?" ”

Bei Yihui smiled, he felt that the second lieutenant's words were not right, and seeing that the other party was very unrelenting, Bei Yihui said: "The number of Japanese troops is now about 500,000, and the number of Chinese troops is 5.5 million. As far as I know, the equipment training of the Chinese army is no less than that of the Japanese army. In the event of a war, the Japanese army would face at least three times as many enemies, even if they did not have to fight 10 enemies, and I do not think that we would have any advantage in such a situation. ”

The second lieutenant obviously didn't expect that Bei Yihui would actually say such a coherent thing, and this time it was his turn to be speechless for the time being. Only six or seven years have passed since the last Sino-Japanese war, and the Japanese army has not forgotten the last tragic defeat.

The other soldiers who were eating together were also surprised, although the number of Chinese troops of 5.5 million was not a blockade news, but the Japanese were able to clearly say this number, which they did not expect. Already another second lieutenant stood up and walked over, he looked at Bei Yihui carefully, and then said, "May I ask this gentleman's surname." ”

"In Shimokita Ikki."

"......, is it Mr. North from Kenju University?" The newly joined second lieutenant hurriedly asked.

"......" It was Bei Yihui's turn to be surprised, he didn't deliberately publicize himself, but he didn't expect the other party to know about Bei Yihui's leadership of the social investigation.

"One of my junior high school classmates is a student at Reclamation University, and he is now in your social investigation team." The second lieutenant said excitedly, "My classmate said that your knowledge is unfathomable, and you are a true scholar!" ”

The best way for young people from ordinary backgrounds at the moment is to go to college or military school, and if they can become a captain officer at a young age, they will naturally be born in a military school. There are social connections, and what began as a tense situation immediately turned into a warm invitation.

Kita Ikki joined the table of young soldiers, and after talking, it became clear that these young people were all from near Tokyo and would soon be transferred to North Korea. This is also why they put forward such a fierce line of thinking about the DPRK.

Korea has already suffered the greatest casualties among the Japanese army in recent years, and guerrillas throughout Korea, especially in the north of Korea, have attacked Japanese troops everywhere. In the early years, the Japanese army was able to suppress these Korean guerrillas. The guerrilla warfare lasted five or six years, and the combat effectiveness of the Korean guerrillas increased day by day. Many of these young men and many of the seniors of the military academy died in North Korea, and the seniors who came back alive told the juniors in frustration that if possible, they should be assigned to the southern plains of North Korea as much as possible. The northern mountains are already full of beacon fires, and Japanese soldiers are killed every day. A large area of North Korea with the Yalu River at its back has even become the domain of guerrillas. The Japanese army repeatedly encircled and suppressed, and failed repeatedly. Those North Koreans were so elusive that they fought if they could win, and if they couldn't win, they ran into the deep mountains and old forests, and they were chased by the Japanese army in a hurry, and even ran across the border to the Chinese side. According to the information brought by the seniors, thousands of Japanese soldiers are now killed every year.

These officers were fortunate enough to be stationed in Seoul. However, the troops stationed in Korea often have to be mobilized, and even if they are stationed in Seoul, it does not mean that they will not participate in the war in the north of Korea. Because of the great anxiety in their hearts, the young soldiers simply put forward the idea of killing all the Koreans.

"Kill all the North Koreans?" Kita Yihui smiled bitterly. North Korea has a population of tens of millions, and the number of Japanese troops stationed in Korea is less than 150,000. In the face of more than 15 million Koreans, the Japanese army could not even wipe out the guerrillas in northern Korea, let alone one enemy of 100.

After listening to Bei Yihui's statement, the ensigns fell silent. None of them participated in the war, at least in the education they received in the military school, the war is victory, glory! The seniors who returned to China were depressed one by one, and they didn't see any excitement and satisfaction brought by serving the country. This has greatly stimulated the psychology of the people. Listening to Bei Yihui's completely reasonable statement, the young man's mood was even worse.

"If it weren't for the support of the Chinese, we wouldn't have been able to fight like this!" The second lieutenant Miyazaki, who had initially provoked Kita Kazuki, said angrily.

"North Korea has always been a vassal state of China, how could they not support North Korea?" Kita Ikki thinks that young people are really cute.

"But North Korea is already the territory of Japan! It's not right for them to do that! Ensign Miyazaki's attitude was still indignant.

There was no need for Kita Ikki to say anything more, and the second lieutenant Matsushita of a classmate in Kita Ikki's social investigation team said: "China lost Korea after its defeat, and they will definitely try their best to recapture Korea." ”

"Then we'll have another war with China!" Second Lieutenant Miyazaki said angrily, "Last time we were able to defeat China, this time we can still defeat China!" According to the assessment in the school, the Chinese can only fight with us if they have at least two against one. ”

Bei Yihui was almost amused by this, but after holding back his laughter, he found that this thing was actually not funny at all, not only not ridiculous, but even a little scary.

Since its defeat in the war with China, the Japanese War Department has tried to avoid war with China as much as possible, which is a very wise choice. However, the War Office is still doing the unwise thing, which is to start deceiving the military with lies.

If the army does not face the facts, but begins to deceive its own soldiers with lies, the results will be terrible. Soldiers who do not believe in lies will naturally lose trust in the army. And it is even worse for military personnel who believe lies, who are likely to act irrationally by overestimating themselves.

Kita knew that China wanted a war between China and Japan far more than Japan. From a strategic point of view, once China recaptures Korea, it will be tantamount to holding a dagger against Japan's waist. No matter how strong the Japanese navy is, it can only take Korea, which is close at hand, as its primary target. In this way, the threat to China from the Japanese Navy, which has an all-round advantage, can be greatly reduced.

Once the Japanese army, which had been defeated in Korea, arrogantly believed the lies of the War Department, thinking that they could win the war, it would definitely be Japan, not China, that would suffer.

I didn't know how to advise, but I saw another second lieutenant who had never spoken much, "You can also believe the words of the War Department?" Believe them, the North Korean guerrillas would have been bulldozed long ago! ”
