"Don't mention being forced to be helpless, you see that gang of traitors, death row prisoners, and criminals, how many of them said that they did bad things because they wanted to do that? If they don't want to, will they do it? The real cowards will say that they are forced. When the revolutionaries went to the execution ground to face death, who said that they were forced? At that time, if they are willing to say that they have surrendered, they will survive! ”

There are many reasons why Chen Ke has been beaten since he was a child, and as long as he dares to say "I was forced", then this beating will not be able to escape. After Chen Ke's parents beat him, they won't pull him down. After the physical stimulation is over, it is such a "mental torture".

Before joining the revolution, Chen Ke was very impatient with such words, even if they thought they were correct. It wasn't until after joining the revolution that Chen Ke understood what his parents had taught him. Fathers and mothers are fathers and mothers, and in the face of a bastard like Chen Ke who is unswerving on the wrong path, it is really an indoctrination like a cow not drinking water and pressing his head.

So about Hirohito's assassination of Kita Yihui, Chen Ke didn't think it was a big deal at all. Hirohito did this all the time, and no one would obediently hand over power, not even Chen Ke himself. The only thing to worry about was the opinion of the Showa Restorationists, and it would be bad if they felt that Hirohito was forced to do so.

After receiving the news almost at the same time as An Teng Huisan, Chen Ke ordered Li Yunshi to go and talk to An Teng Huisan to see what the Meiji Restoration Party had to say about Hirohito. The news that Li Runshi brought back made Chen Ke very satisfied, at least An Tenghuisan himself didn't think that it was because of any special treatment for Hirohito. I think that the weapons have been confiscated, so it will be enough to pay more attention to the next negotiation with Hirohito. Moreover, Teruzo Aten believes that it is necessary to make Hirohito temporarily disappear from the political scene for a year and a half at this time.

"To what extent can Comrade An Tenghui's attitude represent the ideas of the Imperial Dao faction?" Chen Ke asked Li Runshi.

He said that there were still some people in the Imperial Road faction who wanted the emperor to be in power, and it is said that this incident was also caused by Kita Yihui asking Hirohito to personally diagnose him. Li Runshi investigated very clearly.

"It seems that Hirohito is not confused." Chen Ke still appreciates Hirohito's judgment.

Unlike the emperors of China, the Japanese emperors did not have a tradition of pro-government, they were either played by the Japanese shoguns in the palm of their hands, and the current emperor is also a traitor in the legal senses. This knowledge was explained in detail by Richiro Kuroshima to the comrades of the People's Party. Kuroshima Renichiro, also known as Kuroshima Ren, claims to be of 3,000-year-old Chinese ancestry and is a direct descendant of the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

After Emperor Go-Daigo eliminated the Kamakura shogunate, he carried out the first royal government retrospective, and implemented a new policy, which is known as the Kenbu New Deal in history. The new policy failed to meet the demands of the samurai and only reused the nobles of Kyoto, which caused the samurai to be dissatisfied. Among them, the fallen shogun Ashikaga Takashi was even more dissatisfied, although he was given the name of the emperor, but he wanted to open the palace, but the Ashikaga Takashi forced Emperor Daigo to abdicate. The new Emperor, Emperor Kogan, made him the Great General of the Seiyi. It was for the Northern Dynasty.

After Emperor Daigo abdicated, he retreated to Yoshino in Yamato (present-day Nara Prefecture) with the three artifacts symbolized by the emperor, which was the Southern Dynasty, and thus the Northern and Southern Dynasties were finally formed, and the history books are still called "One Day Two Emperors Southern Beijing".

After many attacks and defenses, the power of the Southern Dynasties declined. In 1392, the third shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, forced the Southern Dynasty to surrender, and Emperor Go-Kameyama handed over the three artifacts (the eight-foot mirror passed down to Amaterasu, Qiongquyu, and the Tenye Cloud Sword) to the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, ending the Northern and Southern Dynasties era.

The question of who was orthodox in the history of Japan has been debated for hundreds of years, and it has been said that the Northern Dynasty controlled most of the country, so it was the de facto ruler and should be orthodox. But some people also say that the artifact transferred by Go-Daigo is fake, so orthodoxy is still on the side of the Southern Dynasty. Until 1911, Kotoku Akisui, the pioneer of the Japanese socialist movement, said eloquently: "Isn't the emperor today the descendant of the usurper who snatched the three artifacts from the Empress of the Later Southern Dynasty?" For a while, it caused an uproar in Japan, and political veteran Aritomo Yamaguchi also consulted the Privy Council on this. In the end, Emperor Meiji, who was the generation of the Empress of the Northern Dynasty, made a ruling that the Southern Dynasty was legitimate, and that the emperors of the Northern Dynasty were not included in the Emperor's Inheritance Series, but the status of the emperor and his treatment remained unchanged. As a result, Ashikaga was seen as a rebellious thief, and Kusunoki Masanari became a model of loyalty to the emperor.

Of course, this guy was killed, and the People's Party didn't care what role his remarks played in his death. At present, Hirohito's actions are obviously to provoke trouble, no matter what, Hirohito or the emperor, there is no control faction composed of Showa warlords, and there is also the banner of the imperial faction of "respecting the emperor and eliminating traitors". Unless Hirohito is ready to let Kita Ichiki's group of reformers completely take power, he will also have to take action.

Kita Yihui did not dare to directly kill the emperor and set up a new monarch. If he had done so, the legal principle of the Restorationists would no longer exist. This is not the People's Party rising up to rebel, it doesn't matter what your identity is. On the opposite side of the revolution are counter-revolutions. The BJP has no need to rely on the existence of the other side to establish its legitimacy.

Whether the revolutionary idea is thorough or not is a very important matter for a revolutionary group. One of the reasons why Lenin killed the Russian Tsar was to eliminate the so-called "legal unity" of old Russia. If Hirohito doesn't want to be completely killed by the reformers who are slowly accumulating strength in the future, then he can only establish his existence with the determination to die.

Li Runshi and Chen Ke talked for a while, and the two confirmed their common thoughts. "It's a very tricky problem indeed." Li Runshi sighed. Even though the revolutionary theory of the People's Party is quite perfect, it will still take a long time to make peace with Yuan Shikai, the future is bright, and the road can never be tortuous enough.

"Hirohito is only afraid that this matter will not make a big fuss, and now it seems that the reformers have temporarily mastered the situation. Let's hope they can continue to master it. Chen Ke sighed.

"We can only wait!" Li Runshi has the same patience as Chen Ke.

Only those who are ultimately chosen by the people can become the leader of the country, and this is the same for any country. The silent majority is using silence to show their attitude. When the people speak out together, no one can resist it. Chen Ke knew very well that Chiang Kai-shek had overwhelming power back then, but when the people shouted "We want liberation", Chiang Kai-shek was defeated and finally ran away to such a small island.

"What's the reaction of the British now?" Chen Ke asked. The Minister of Propaganda took over the responsibility of leading the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Japan made such a fuss that the British shouted some words, but they did not see any real action from the British.

"Britain is still the same old thing, but the American side has asked us a question. Did we meddle in this? Li Runshi replied.

"What is the ...... of the United States?" Chen Ke simply said, and then fell silent for the time being. The attitude of the United States is very important, and Japan has always been the toughest adversary of the United States in the Western Pacific, and the United States has been focusing on internal affairs since the implementation of Roosevelt's New Deal. Do everything you can to get out of the Great Depression. However, temporary silence is not the same as permanent silence, and Chen Ke does not believe that Americans will watch the play so honestly to see the end. You know, in the ongoing Spanish Civil War, the United States was very clear.

The United States was hostile to the new republican government, believing that the Soviet Union had been involved in the Spanish overthrow of the royal family in 1931. When the civil war broke out, Secretary of State Cordell 61 Hull ordered a ban on all arms sales to the Spanish government, "adhering to a policy of neutrality." But U.S. civilian companies provided much support to both warring sides, with Texaco providing the National Army with 3.5 million tons of gasoline and providing indefinite loans, General Motors and Ford providing 12,000 trucks to the National Army, and DuPont selling a lot of ammunition to Franco.

Anglo61 Saxons seem to have an innate attitude of-stirring sticks, and Chen Ke can't help but think about it, even if he is not a racist.

The question that the United States asks China is actually quite dangerous, which indicates that the United States is likely to have a showdown with China on the issue of Japan.

"Wouldn't it be a good thing if the United States had a showdown with us?" Li Runshi looked at Chen Ke's serious expression, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?" Chen Ke felt a little puzzled.

"If the United States really wants to have another black ship incident in Japan, then it is tantamount to forcing Japan to our side." Li Runshi replied. Seeing that Chen Ke's expression was still not so clear, Li Runshi smiled, "I don't think we can control the precise direction of the future. But isn't the first thing materialists have to believe is the fact that has already happened? ”

A smile finally appeared on Chen Ke's face, and Li Runshi's reminder allowed Chen Ke to get rid of the idea of wanting to control the situation. This is one of the habits of Chen Ke for a long time, and he always tries to grasp the situation and lead the revolution in a better direction. This is what leaders have to do, but it is theoretically contrary to materialism. Materialists believe in the primacy of matter, that all their actions must be based on facts, and that they must treat the world with a realistic attitude.

As a downstream of history, Chen Ke can base his actions on the fact that he is in his time and space, and when the two time and space are highly overlapped, Chen Ke can also "predict the future and control the future".

This is something that Chen Ke knows, and it is also something that Chen Ke subconsciously is difficult to do. Li Runshi's reminder made Chen Ke suddenly have a feeling of seeing the sun. All of a sudden, all the pressures that have been accumulating over the past few days have flown out of the sky.

Seeing the change in Chen Ke's expression, Li Runshi couldn't help but smile. Many people have said that Chen Ke is ready to let Li Runshi become the next party chairman, and Li Runshi knows it. According to Li Runshi's own judgment, there is also a clear trend in Chen Ke's actions. But Li Runshi himself doesn't care about this, he is first and foremost a materialist, so he is very anxious about Chen Ke's increasingly non-materialistic approach in the past two years.

Ever since Chen Ke told the 12-member meeting about his plan to go south, Li Runshi has been observing Chen Ke, and he found that Chen Ke was under increasing pressure. This kind of pressure is very unnecessary, if viewed from the materialist's point of view. Chen Ke has become more and more interested in results, rather than working to effectively promote social progress, as he used to do.

Of course, Chen Ke is the leader of the People's Party after all, his judgment is still correct, and even if the direction he leads is dangerous, when Chen Ke says that he is willing to take all the responsibility, the comrades can still firmly obey Chen Ke's orders. Even Li Runshi felt that since Chen Ke dared to say this, the direction he pointed out should be able to achieve the goal to a certain extent.

Li Runshi is well aware that failure is normal, and Chen Ke's willingness to take responsibility is only to control the hearts and minds of the People's Party. This kind of statement is meaningless to avoid risks in actual implementation, even if Chen Ke patted his chest and swore poisonously, there is still an unknowable and uncontrollable possibility of failure in actual practice. And Chen's actions themselves may well be expanding the likelihood of such a failure. This is what Li Runshi wants to oppose. So taking advantage of this Japanese incident, Li Runshi simply criticized Chen Ke very tactfully. What makes Li Runshi happy is that Chen Ke is still the same Chen Ke after all, and he has already discovered the problem.

There is no need to talk too much nonsense between smart people, Chen Ke said to Li Runshi: "In the past two days, we have been drinking, chatting, and having retreats together. Ideological problems are sometimes very difficult to solve. ”

Li Runshi smiled, "The retreat can be held, you can also eat, do you drink, I will pour a glass of wine." If you want to get the meeting going, you can drink it, and I'll just eat it. ”

"Thank you, Comrade Li Runshi. At this time, most of the comrades were thinking about how to understand the orders I gave and complete the work I had given. But you can consider whether I'm wrong. Thank you so much! Chen Ke said while pouring water for Li Runshi.

Li Runshi replied without humility or arrogance: "I can only see this mistake you made, and I can't make judgments on other specific work, just like other comrades." The facts will be left to the facts. ”

The judgment of facts came faster than Chen Ke thought, as long as Chen Ke acted according to the attitude of seeking truth from facts, he was still the Chen Ke from the lower reaches of history. On September 11, 1937, the appearance of the U.S. Pacific Fleet off the coast of Tokyo Bay caused a sensation in Japan.

In July 1853 (the sixth year of Kaei), the commander of the U.S. East India Fleet, General Matthew 61 Calbraith 61 Perry (1794~1858), led four warships to the mouth of Edo Bay and threatened the shogunate with force. The black modern ironclad warship in the fleet is the first time in the life of the Japanese. Perry gave the shogunate a model locomotive and a telegraph to show industrial civilization, but the shogunate could only show his strength by carrying the rice in return by the samurai. Perry's voyage shocked the Japanese and deeply felt the huge gap between Japan and foreign countries. The Japanese called the incident "the coming of the black ship". Since these four warships had a total of 63 cannons, and the range and firepower of Japan's coastal defense guns in Edo Bay at that time were only about 20 compared with these four warships, under the threat of opening fire without opening the country, the shogunate did not dare to refuse the request for the opening of the country, but it was afraid that after accepting the credentials brought by Perry, it would be attacked by the whole country, so the chief of the shogunate at that time, Nakabe Masahiro, used the excuse that the emperor had to approve the treaty before accepting it, and agreed that Perry would give a reply in the spring of the following year.

This was the first Black Ship incident. The second incident occurred the following year. On February 13, 1854 (the 7th year of Kaei), Perry again led a fleet to Japan, this time with a total of seven warships, and the fleet went deep into Edo Bay until it reached the vicinity of Yokohama. As a result, the two sides signed the Japan-US Treaty of Amity in Yokohama, which was also the first unequal treaty between Japan and the Western powers. The other Western powers followed the United States and made trade demands to Japan, so Britain, Russia, the Netherlands, and other Western powers signed treaties of goodwill with Japan. Japan was forced to end the era of national isolation, and the shogunate system collapsed.

Since then, the Meiji Restoration has broken out, and after the Japanese fleet seized maritime supremacy in the Far East through the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the United States became Japan's greatest enemy at sea.

At present, the Showa Restoration in Japan is at its most dangerous, and the US Pacific Fleet has once again appeared off the coast of Tokyo Bay in Japan, which has undoubtedly triggered a great sense of crisis among the Showa Restorationists. Could it be that the United States is preparing to take advantage of the fire to rob the third black ship attack?

Japan's transitional government immediately questioned the U.S. side, and the U.S. Pacific Fleet's reply was "routine training," which made Japan even more nervous with extremely unfriendly words. After the United States occupied the Philippines, it had not conducted any military training in Japanese waters for decades, so why did it come to "routine training" this time? Could it be that the United States is still ready to come to Japan for a few laps if it has nothing to do?

On September 14, a large fleet appeared outside the Gulf of Tonkin, in addition to the Japanese fleet confronting the US Pacific Fleet. The fleet was painted in gray, and on the battleships as flagships, the red flag of the Chinese People's Navy flew fiercely in the sea breeze. At the invitation of the Japanese Transitional Government, a joint maritime military exercise between the Chinese People's Navy and the Japanese Combined Fleet took place outside Tokyo Bay.

This time, China urgently mobilized the Yellow Sea Fleet, whose home port is in Qingdao, and the East China Sea Fleet, whose home port is in Fujian and Taiwan, and the fleet formed by the two fleets includes two battleships, four aircraft carriers, and four heavy cruisers of about 10,000 tons. Flying in the sky were bombers from the roadbed, as well as groups of fighters and torpedo attack aircraft taking off from aircraft carriers.

For a time, the waters off Tokyo Bay became a place to show off military might. In the sky, on the sea, and under the water, the equipment that gathers the most advanced military technology of this era is all sabre-rattling, showing off its might!
