"General Tachibana Koichiro decided this because the division from Korea did not yet have a regular tank unit like the Shina people. One of its main drawbacks was that it never got anything it needed - no tanks, no ample artillery, no transports. Although their progress is still going fairly well. However, it seems to us that the resistance we have encountered is nothing more than that. Our troops on the right flank were under heavy attack by the Soviets, but because of the enemy's lack of ammunition, these attacks quickly lost their initial momentum, and since it was ascertained that the enemy troops attacking us were our troops who were pursuing us along the mud, I do not think that these attacks were serious. Finally, after a long wait, we launched a counteroffensive. I thought that the Russian army would not respond to this attack in a few days, but I was wrong. After this offensive, the Soviet Russian army suffered heavy losses and for a long time almost disappeared. ”

"The cessation of the enemy's offensive gave me time to admire the vast and fertile land of Siberia, which I was fascinated by when I first came here."

"The name 'Siberia' is said to come from the ancient Xianbei people, and it is also said to be called 'Xianbeilia', and on the ancient map of China that I found, Siberia is also called 'Luo Wilderness'."

"The word Siberia is more of a figurative regional scope than a geographical term. The entire east of the Ural Mountains, the entire northern part of the Asian continent, many people, especially foreigners, call this land so. Those who have never been here have a preconception about this vast area—cities, forests, seas, rivers, lakes, and swamps—that they associate it with wilderness, snowstorms, bitter cold, emptiness, and savagery. In fact, Siberia is a complex of diverse regions, its western and northern regions, Altai, Tuva, Khakassia, Sayan and Transbaikalia, Yakutia, and even part of the northernmost part can be included in Siberia. Siberia covers an area of 7,000 kilometers from west to east and 3,500 kilometers from north to south, 10 million square kilometers, almost equivalent to the area of 20 Frances. ”

"Siberia is vast, according to natural conditions, can be divided into three main regions, the west is the West Siberian Plain, between the Ural Mountains and the Yenisei River, the terrain is low and flat, the swamps are wide, the average altitude is 120 meters, the main rivers are the Ob River and the Yenisei River; The central part is the Central Siberian Plateau, from the Putolana Mountains in the northwest corner of the Yenisei River in the west to the Dalena River basin in the east, with an average altitude of 300 to 500 meters. Siberia is located in the middle and high latitudes, and the continental climate is remarkable, gradually increasing from west to east, with long and cold winters and mild and short summers. The average annual temperature is below 0°C. There are obvious spatial and temporal differences in rainfall, and the rainfall is mainly concentrated in summer. The vegetation includes tundra, forest swamps, taiga coniferous forests, forest-steppes and treeless steppes. Siberia is rich in natural resources, including oil, natural gas, coal, gold, diamond, etc., and the distribution of various resources is relatively concentrated, and there are many large mineral deposits. ”

"What a fertile land Siberia is! This area has large areas of fertile chernozem and chernozem land to be developed; The famous Siberian forests cover a vast area of the Siberian region, and its timber stock accounts for more than three-quarters of the entire Lucia; Numerous lakes and thousands of rivers make Siberia rich in hydropower. Lake Baikal, the world's largest freshwater lake, is located here. Siberia is Lucia's largest freshwater fish producing region, accounting for more than a quarter of its total freshwater fish production. In addition to Lake Baikal in Eastern Siberia, the basins of the Yenisei and Lena rivers are also important freshwater fish producing areas. Siberia is rich in metallic and non-metallic minerals, and is home to almost all the mineral resources that have been found in the world. Iron, copper, aluminum, tin, lead, zinc, magnesium and other non-ferrous metal ores, gold, silver and other precious metal ores, tungsten, molybdenum, potassium and other rare metal ores, mica, asbestos, fluorite, graphite, talc and other non-metallic minerals, as well as salt, apatite, phosphosphacite and other natural chemical raw material mineral resources reserves are very considerable. Among them, iron, copper, aluminum, and tin reserves are particularly abundant. This vast area is known to the Lucians as an 'inexhaustible treasure trove of resources'. General Yasumasa Fukushima came to the same conclusion when he visited the area. ”

"The population of Siberia is not large, and the Asian ethnic group is the majority, but after the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1905, the region began to develop on a large scale, and the population mainly Lucia moved eastward in large numbers, and after the arrival of the Lucia, the local indigenous people, including the Chinese people, were massacred, and the Lucia people now account for more than 80% of the population here."

"In the Qing Dynasty, the people of China have been demanding the recovery of the land that was usurped by the Lucia, and now, together with China, they will become the real masters of this land."

"Siberia's vast territory, sparse population, and harsh climate are extremely unfavorable for the development of transportation. In view of this actual situation and the development needs of this region, I believe that in the future, a comprehensive transportation network combining river transportation, railway, highway and aviation should be built here......"

“…… Although it was difficult for the Russian army to launch a large-scale offensive, in individual cities and villages, the fighting was still very fierce, and the Russian army relied on the strong fortifications that had been operating for many years to resist stubbornly, while our army concentrated its limited forces to launch a surprise attack on the stronghold of the Soviet Russian army, first cutting off the foreign aid of the defenders, and then laying a victory in one fell swoop.

"During yesterday's battle to capture the railway station, I insisted on commanding the commandos to be in the vanguard. Your Excellency the Commander greatly appreciated my courage and allowed the front line to fully cooperate with our operations. I lived up to expectations and raided the headquarters of the Soviet Russian troops, captured their commander, and forced the remnants of the defenders. Some of the Russian troops tried to escape, but our army seized the time to pursue them and finally wiped them out. ”

"In this fight, I didn't really fight very often, but it was a very thrilling scene. While we were attacking the railway station warehouse, a dense burst of bullets suddenly shot out in a row of warehouses. The soldiers returned fire, blew open the gate, rushed in, and after a fierce battle, we killed five Russian soldiers hiding inside and captured two prisoners. Then I found a locked door, and when I opened it, I saw that there were Asian corpses all over it, full of bullet holes, and among them were the bodies of stripped women, who were clearly being brutalized. These brutes! The soldiers punched and kicked the captives and drew their bayonets, but I stopped them. Because no matter what they did, they are now prisoners of war! We are military and must be disciplined! If we let our impulses go, we will become beasts just like them! We will be disqualified from continuing as human beings! There will be no way to win this sacred war! ”

"I took one look at the two prisoners of war with bruised noses and swollen faces and multiple fractures, and told them to go to the military doctor. Suddenly, I stopped, strode into the pile of corpses, and examined them closely. Because I found out that there is still a living person here! ”

"This is an unkempt child, ** body is covered with blood, breathing is very weak, and his forehead is very hot. I took off my coat, wrapped the child tightly, and handed it over to the military doctor who had arrived. Then he led the commandos to continue the search in depth, and soon after, I was wounded by enemy shells during the engagement, and was carried by my men to a field hospital. Here I met the medic and I was pleasantly surprised and said, 'Ah! You're the doctor from yesterday! How's that kid doing? The medic smiled and replied, 'The one who lives next door to you' is the one who lives next to you. ”

"When I rushed to the next room, I couldn't help but be stunned, because on the bed, there was a beautiful girl with long hair, sleeping."

"It's a girl......"

"'Don't worry, she's nothing. She had malaria. The other party is also afraid of infection. Luckily, I found it early, and I just happened to have quinine on my hand. The doctor said, and I didn't have the heart to hear what he was saying. ”

"The girl's sleeping face is so cute, she can't see any shadows, like a little princess in a fairy tale......"

"It took me a long time to calm down and say to the medics: 'Doctor, for the first time, I feel the horrors of war. Thinking that once he fails, the children of Yuben may have such a fate. ’”

"'You're thinking too much, Ishihara-kun, don't worry. I'll give you a shot and let you have a good dream! The medic said with a smile, and I knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for me......"

"War is brutal. Although we have done a good job in Siberia and rescued many local people, we are worthy of being a model soldier. But I feel that the greatest benefit here is a deeper understanding of the nature of war. ”

"This war is by no means a military struggle in the ordinary sense, still less a colonial war fought by the great powers in modern times, but a war to liberate Asia. For the sake of the common prosperity of Asia, I must actively help the people of Asia, and I believe that this is the most important thing for me to do. ”

"I think that we should pass strict laws prohibiting corporal punishment in the army, prohibiting the mistreatment of new recruits by veterans, prohibiting the corruption and degeneration of senior officers, and strictly restricting the privileges of soldiers, so as to lay a solid foundation for the creation of a new army, and then become a strong pillar for the country to march towards a new great history, which is an indispensable prerequisite for winning the war. If this is not done, there will be no hope of success in the war, and there will be no bright future for the war. ”

"Many people are dissatisfied with the fact that the political axe actively promoted peace talks with China during the war without the military, and eventually turned enemies into friends with the China army, but I don't think so. In my opinion, the political axe did the right thing this time, not only to prevent Yuben from falling into a crisis, but also to avoid a permanent hatred with China. You know, if the Asian people hate each other, they will never be able to get rid of their subordination to the Western world, and they will never have the ability to read and be free. If I had had this idea earlier, the 'Vladivostok Incident' might not have happened, and the two countries would not have had to go to war. In hindsight, I was actually a sinner in history when Asia was plunged into war, and now I came to Siberia to fight just to atone for my sins. ”

"It is said that the peace talks proposed by Prime Minister Mr. Hara Kei have received strong support from the wise and martial His Royal Highness the Prince of the Regent Palace, and the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Regent Palace cannot be surpassed by the famous generals of ancient times. And His Excellency the Prime Minister's lightning swiftness in ending the imminent war against China and winning the opportunity to expand its territory in Siberia has won Benben such a great cause, not to mention in Ben, in Asia, and in the world. And the ignorant ronin in society think that His Excellency the Prime Minister's wife is benevolent, and he can't quickly attack Yanjing, defeat China, and delay the war, which is really ridiculous. They are all superficial people who only know the surface, and they do not know that military and politics have their own intrinsic connections, and they cannot arbitrarily come to the ground. ”

"With the great strength of the emperor's [***] team, it is not difficult to conquer the entire territory of China, but the common prosperity of Asia cannot be solved by force. We have occupied the land of Manchuria in only a few months, but we have never been able to gain a foothold on this land, in fact, there is a bloody lesson, from the beginning of this war to the present, at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on both sides have died, and the current cooperation alone is not enough to resolve this hatred. ”

"I have always believed that China should have made a great contribution to the industrial development and economic prosperity of China, like the United States, so that China could avoid the fate of being carved up by the Western powers and become the most dynamic country outside the great powers. What is now China, with the help of the United States, has ended the bloody civil war, and peace has returned to the southern provinces. The officers and men of China have a high reputation for strict discipline in the European battlefield, and this should not be a place to study? As long as we understand our mistakes, remedy them in a timely manner, and get the situation back on track, we will definitely get the rewards we deserve. ”

"Before I came to Siberia, I went to some of the southern provinces of China, and I visited the people there, and their living conditions were much better than during the previous Manchu rule, the taxes were halved, the people were free to receive modern education, the systems were on par with those of the United States, and everyone was on the mission to catch up with and become a great power like the original one. The most important thing is that the current China has truly realized the republic of the Manchu, Han, Tibetan, Mongolian and Hui ethnic groups, which was expected but failed to be realized by the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen. In my opinion, it is a very wise move for the political axe of Shina to choose to accept the help of the United States, although it is said that the Shina of Reading Power does not truly embody the true meaning of the liberation of Asia. However, this strategy, which combines the western industrial civilization and the traditional culture of China, is the greatest advantage of China that distinguishes it from the European and American powers, and it is also the most suitable for the rapid development of China now. ”

"It is an extremely wrong and harmful view that many people in the country regard the people of China as an inferior people and that any cooperation with China is shameful. In the long run, coexistence and co-prosperity in Asia will eliminate the boundaries between nations and states, but at the current stage, it is necessary to first realize a situation of peace, unity, and co-prosperity among different countries and nations, which is the most basic step. And because of the belonging of Manchuria and Mongolia, it led to the discord between the Chinese and Chinese countries, which was the greatest danger facing the cause of liberation in Asia. The foreign interference of Europe and the United States will one day be eliminated, but Asia's neighbors will not disappear, and neighbors cannot help each other and prosper, so where can we talk about Asian co-prosperity? In the past, I was obsessed with short-term interests but undermined the long-term strategic foundation, and I really could not be called a qualified strategist, and the strategy I planned at that time could not be regarded as an excellent strategy, and without the diligent efforts of His Excellency the Prime Minister, the idea of Asia's common prosperity would have been wiped out after the 'Vladivostok Incident'. Even now, relations between the province and China have not returned to the state they were in before the 'Vladivostok Incident', and there are probably more people in China who hate the country than before. Will those who have lost loved ones in conflict be easily forgiven? I don't expect much from that. Time will tell. After peace, the people of all countries did not hate France, and the Russian aristocracy even popularized the French court culture. I am not at all as good as Napoleon, who succeeded in ending the feudal era by war, and I tried to end the colonial history of Asia by war, but I did not succeed. Napoleon's military exploits are incomparable to those of later generations, and his defeat is due to environmental constraints, which make him unable to appreciate the difference between the power of one person and the power of the world, which is the root cause of failure. However, his failure alone has shaped the progress of the world, and this failure is more beneficial to mankind as a whole than the success of one person, and it can be said that Napoleon is a martyr in the military world, and the martyrdom of a religious man has a different path and points to unity. As much as I admired Napoleon, I didn't want to be a martyr, nor did I want others to be martyred. Napoleon did everything for the benefit of France as a country, while His Excellency the Prime Minister did it for the sake of Asia as a whole, and his ideas were ahead of his time, and he might become a monument in the future. I don't think there has been a man as great as His Excellency the Prime Minister. This is not due to the lack of ideological realm, but the disconnection between thinkers and doers. How to implement spiritual comprehension into material practice is actually a difficult problem for human civilization. I am just worried that there are too few people like Your Excellency the Prime Minister to implement the concept of co-prosperity in Asia in the future, and that this great cause will not be fully accomplished. ”
