Chapter 443: The Inducement of the South and the North

M: "Today our topic is the resources of the Malay Peninsula. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Sayuri, can you guess what resources are available in the Malay Peninsula? ā€

F: "I studied geography, but then I forgot about it, and for this show, I also read a little bit of a book to make me think about rubber, rice, and tin. Right? ā€

M: "It's not easy. All three are correct answers. The climate in this region is hot, and two rice crops can be harvested in a year. ā€

Woman: "Two seasons? Harvested twice a year? Sounds remarkable. ā€

M: "Yes. It is the most important source of natural rubber. In fact, you're missing one of the most important resources. ā€

Woman: "It's a coal mine?" ā€

Man: "No. Coal is also abundant, of course, but the most important thing here is oil. Modernization, one is coal, one is steel, and the other is oil. Oil is... ā€

F: "Oil is the blood of industry. ā€

M: "Correct, it's also the blood and motivation of war. Did you know Sumatra? ā€

Woman: "Isn't it the place that produces gold, called Golden Island, Golden Island?" I've heard a lot of stories about the scramble for Sumatran gold, and I've heard a lot about the scramble for colonies. ā€

M: "Correct. Today, scientists have discovered oil here. The oil here is of high quality and has a large reserve, and it is also a large oil field of several hundred million tons. ā€

The command of the Kwantung Army, the staff officers were listening to the radio.

"Imagine that millions of barrels of crude oil are produced here every day, how much wealth is that?"

In the Kwantung Army, the vast majority of people supported the policy of advancing northward. They are very attentive to the show. This show is too seductive. There's always something you want, and there's not much to do every time. Every time the staff officers finished listening, they went to find information and checked the content of the program.

This show is so good. Both the southward and northward factions can find their own arguments. The credibility of the program is very high, and the relevant intelligence services have even done verification work, and the result is that all the economic information stated by the program is correct.

The radio waves were transmitted to the Japanese mainland through a two-stage relay station, and because of the strong signal, most of the Japanese islands could receive the signal from this station.

This radio station broadcasts in a fresh style that makes people like to listen to it so much that if you listen to it once, you will want to listen to it a second time. Recently, the Soviet Union and the Pacific islands had two major mineral resources, and people who were concerned about Japan's policy of expanding southward and northward had come to listen to it.

Those who support the southward expansion policy can find their favorite content, the rich resources of the Pacific islands, and the simple folk customs. The so-called simple folk customs mean that the people there have a tradition of being colonial people, do not resist much, learn foreign languages in schools, do not use their own language, and are not like the Chinese and Soviets, and the sense of resistance is too strong.

Those who support the northward expansion policy can also find their own information, such as Russia's oil, coal mines, natural gas, diamonds, and scarce population, all of which are powerful materials that support the northward expansion policy.

The whole country in Japan listened to it with unprecedented enthusiasm.

In Tokyo, Japan, at the base camp of the army and navy, everyone is also listening.

"Sumatra's two of Indonesia's largest potential oil fields, Dauri and Minas, are said to be confidential. The ideal climate is the climate, where oil can be extracted and smelted all year round. ā€

"How about Birch Island?"

"Let's compare with China first, China does not have a large oil field, this oil field is hundreds or thousands of times larger than China's largest Yumen oil field, and it is also close to the sea and has convenient transportation."

"Yumen Oilfield? In what place? ā€

"In the Gobi Desert in the northwest, thousands of kilometers away. It is difficult to transport the oil produced to economically developed areas. In addition, oil experts in several countries have not found that there is oil in China. China's modern industry does not have oil, and the future prospects can be imagined. ā€

"Understood. China has few or no resources, and with a large population, it is definitely poor. The Yumen Oilfield is very remote and the transportation conditions are not good. ā€

"If you compare it with Huatai Island, it can only have its own merits, and Huatai Island is cold and difficult. Such abundant resources, if the Chinese know about it, they will not envy death. China is a vast country, but it is a pity that God does not favor China, and there is a lack of minerals. ā€

"It's the same in Japan. There is no oil. ā€

"You know what? At present, there are oil fields on Huatai Island, which produce a small amount of oil. Some scientists believe that this oil field is only a small corner of the entire large oil field developed. Because of its location on the border, large oil fields cannot be developed. ā€

"If the oil from Huatai Island is developed on a large scale, Japan may not be the same."

"Here's the ad."

"Jasmine brand soap is fragrant and durable, which is good for skin health."

"White brand toothpaste, protect teeth, beautify teeth, the first in the world."

"I have a question: Jasmine brand soap, white brand toothpaste, these two products are so good, where are they made?"

"I beg your pardon for the time being. What can be said, though, is that these products are of the highest quality in the world. ā€

"Is it better than Britain, Germany, and America?"

"That's true. Believe me. ā€

"Okay listeners, it's over. Below is the cultural dictionary column. Teacher, which word do you say this time? ā€

"The word we're going to say is chicken ribs."

"Chicken ribs? Is it part of chicken? ā€

"Yes, that's the word. Excuse me, do you like chicken ribs? ā€

"Of course I don't like to eat it, there are more bones, less meat, and the taste is not good."

"If you don't have meat, it's good to have chicken ribs, but if you have two pieces of meat, one that looks big and one that looks smaller, which one do you want?"

The answer, of course, is self-evident, even children can make the right choice. How can this word be a word with cultural connotations? ā€

"This word is used in Chinese culture as a metaphor for things that are unfortunate when thrown, difficult to use, or have no value to use."

"Is there a story? Conventionally, we are going to tell the story of the word to our listeners. ā€

"There is a story, and the story takes place in the Three Kingdoms era."

"Oh, it's Three Kingdoms again."

"Yes, there are two protagonists of the story, one is Cao Cao and the other is Yang Xiu."

"Cao Cao, I know, it's the prime minister who killed people in his sleep."

"Yes. Once, he led a large army to a place and could not capture it for a long time. It is very difficult to attack or retreat. ā€

"The Prime Minister is leading the army on the march? Terrible. ā€

"One night, the officer on duty, that is, the staff officer, asked him, what is the password tonight? He replied casually: Chicken ribs. ā€

"Oh, here's the point."

Yang Xiu's position is roughly equivalent to that of the deputy chief of staff, and as soon as he heard this order, he packed his luggage. A general asked him why, and he said that the chicken ribs were not meaty, and it was a pity to abandon them, and the prime minister wanted to withdraw from the army. As a result, the whole barracks spread, and everyone packed up and prepared to go home. ā€

"Does Premier Cao know?"

"Yes. He was very angry, so he arrested Yang Xiu and killed him. The crime is to disturb the morale of the army. ā€

"It's cruel. Love life. The result? ā€

"The result was simple, and soon, they withdrew."

With the broadcast of the World Resources Geography program in the past few days, a frenzy of discussion has been set off in Japan.

To advance south is to compete with the United States for the Pacific Ocean, and to advance north is to seize Northeast Asia with the Soviet Union.

Now, because the theory of quick victory in China has been shattered, the Japanese have insufficient military strength and insufficient national strength, so it is natural to discuss where to invest their limited national strength.

Is it the warm and hot Pacific Ocean, or the icy Northeast Asia? Is it to open up a battlefield in the Pacific? Or to flank the USSR in the North and Germany? Will it continue to fight the old adversary, the Soviet Union, or will it create a new adversary, the United States?

In Japan, this issue is almost discussed by the whole people, and many people start arguing about it after drinking two glasses, and even the peddlers and pawns are concerned about this issue.

Because in addition to comparing Japan's resource-poor with these resource-rich regions, the program also compares China's resource-poor population with them, and slowly, everyone seems to accept the fact that it is not interesting to enter Chinese mainland in the south, or to enter the north.

Many people at the top decision-making level in Japan have started to use the phrase, "chicken ribs." "I'm talking about China.

This radio station is very interesting, and it is not like the other stations, which is rigid in its news, in its songs and plays, but in lively dialogue, and even the news is a lively dialogue.

Some propaganda experts can see that on the surface, this radio station has no tendencies, but in fact, their tendencies are very clear, and they are brainwashed without revealing traces, and although they cannot be imitated, they are worthy of admiration. Of course, this is the opinion of a minority, and it cannot be agreed with by everyone at all.

Unlike Japan's official broadcast, this radio station can objectively report some news, and many people have begun to disbelieve Japan's official broadcast, and they need to listen to the content of this radio station in order to make a correct judgment on the situation.

In this era, there are very few broadcasters at home, and there are very few in China, and of course there are many in Japan, and those who have broadcasters are all people with status and status, or at least knowledge. Therefore, the influence of this radio station on Japan is very great.

It turned out that the Japanese believed that in terms of military combat power, Japan was the first, Manchuria was the second, the Soviet army was third, India was the fourth, and the United States was fifth. After the Battle of Nomenkan, the Soviet army has become the second, and even threatens the first. Japan is still number one.

After watching the two German battles, Germany's rankings were also greatly advanced and roughly similar. However, the combat effectiveness of the US military has not been improved in the eyes of the Japanese. The Japanese studied the combat power of the U.S. military, mainly in World War I.

This is a very important point that the northward policy is not as good as the southward policy.

If modern people listen to this broadcast, they will say: this technique is too old-fashioned, too old-fashioned. Big flicker.

Yichun's influence on Japan was to provide them with a large amount of economic intelligence in the form of broadcasts, so that policymakers would think that although the southward expansion was a good policy, it was not much better than the northward expansion.

At the same time, Yichun was also influencing the Soviet Union in the north. Yichun and the Soviet Union became more and more closely connected, and their economies were heavily interdependent. Yichun imported machines, machine tools, and raw materials from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union imported light industrial products and grain from Yichun.

Recently, the Soviet Union took the initiative to find it, which provided a new opportunity for Yichun to influence them.
