9 The Death of Kanto (9)
In the military theories that Hokuchi learned in China, the people's war was repeatedly emphasized. The People's Party has not yet had the opportunity to practice the people's war in an all-round way, so Chen Ke has made special efforts in the military theory of the people's war. The Korean People's War is the best place for the People's Party to study the People's War.
The theories in this regard are all open, and the People's Party has no intention of waging an imperialist war of aggression against the outside world, so it has no fear at all. Seeing that several ensigns were afraid of dying in battle after arriving in Korea, Kita Ikki simply discussed the concept of people's war with them.
"Therefore, those who are good at fighting are invincible. And not lose the defeat of the enemy. Therefore, the victorious army wins first and then seeks battle, and the defeated army fights first and then seeks victory. Kita Yihui spoke to several ensigns. Party schools are not military schools, so military theories are not talked about much. This is the people's party's summary of the people's war theory. No matter how many lies are in the Japanese military academy, they will not be stupid enough not to study the Art of War. Several ensigns knew that this was the original text in the Art of War.
The essence of the people's war is very simple, and the supreme principle is the "justice" of the war, the "mass nature" of participating in the war, and the "integrity" of the practice of war. In military practice, these ideas are implemented as the basic principles and principles for war guidance, army building, and national defense building.
Although Chen Ke did not take part in the People's War, when he asked himself, he did not think that any war of New China was a war of aggression against foreign countries. Although the traitors of New China will have completely different ideas. Therefore, every battle in New China is a just war in the eyes of the broad masses of the people. The same is true of the military from among the people. Only by firmly believing that you are righteous can you have enough will to fight in war.
Inheriting the idea of the people's war, the People's Party's internal and external propaganda only talked about "recovering lost territory" and did not talk about expanding territory. The Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army accepted this line of thinking, which, together with the domestic political system, led to a strong fighting force.
The same goes for the North Koreans. Even the upper echelons of North Korea at both ends of the first rat are not determined to be Japanese. The slogan "Korean restoration" has always appealed to North Koreans. The only question is who will bear the cost of North Korea's restoration.
At the time, North Korea thought that the Japanese could pay for the liberation of Korea from the Manchu control, but now the exploited strata of Korea have tasted the consequences. Japan's exploitation of the DPRK has caused the whole of Korea to suffer from life. Even the North Korean elite felt that their choice was wrong. They very much hope that someone will stand up and pay for the restoration of Korea, and then they can continue to be their rulers after the liberation of Korea.
The lower echelons of Korea and the Korean aspirants had risen up against Japanese colonial rule, and the old upper echelons of Korea had adopted a strategy of covert support for this.
Several ensigns listened to Kita Ilki's slow analysis of the situation in North Korea, and their faces became more and more solemn and surprised. This shock is not only because of the detailed analysis of the situation in North Korea as if he had seen it with his own eyes, but also because the information from various angles brought back by the seniors of the military academy who returned from North Korea can be pieced together in Kita Ilhui's analysis like a puzzle. With the overall guiding ideas, a large number of details were completely dressed in a string, and they were reasonably displayed in front of the eyes of the young officers.
"No wonder my predecessors said that North Koreans can't believe it, and the more officials they are, the more they can't believe it!" Second Lieutenant Miyazaki said as if he were awake from a dream. Because of the harsh military discipline, the Japanese soldiers did not dare to say anything. Now he understands the meaning of the words of the seniors of the military academy.
Second Lieutenant Matsumoto also nodded repeatedly, "Indeed! The North Koreans cannot be trusted. ”
For these lovely young people, Bei Yihui really doesn't know what to say. The injustice of imperialist wars has been revealed to such an extent that these young people simply lament the untrustworthiness of the Koreans, but do not reflect on the need to deny the unjust war. Kita Kazuki wondered what kind of ideological education was being carried out in the Japanese army. In China, no organization like the People's Party can wage a war of aggression. After all, the purpose of a war of aggression is profit, and the people are the ones who pay for the war. This propaganda is completely public. Japan and China are indeed two completely different worlds politically.
"Mr. North, you are so talented, is there a solution to the North Korean problem?" Second Lieutenant Ando, who once lashed out at the War Department for being untrustworthy, asked.
Kita Ikki shook his head, "As long as Japan's policy toward Korea remains unchanged, there will be no end to this war. ”
Second Lieutenant Ando sighed and stopped talking. Second Lieutenant Miyazaki said angrily: "What kind of people's war, kill all the Koreans, where is there any people's war." ”
This time it was Kita Kazuki's turn to smile bitterly, "Second Lieutenant Miyazaki, after you arrive in Korea, unless you fight, you will not see the Korean guerrillas who are armed against the Japanese army." All you can kill are North Koreans who have not joined the North Korean guerrillas. These Koreans even paid taxes and grain to Japan. If you kill them now, in addition to attacking the Koreans who obey the Japanese government, the Koreans who have not been killed for the time being will know your policy of killing all the Koreans, and they will flee to the Korean guerrillas before they are killed, and you are adding to the Korean guerrillas. If you are genuinely in favor of war, your ideas are contrary to your intentions. ”
Second Lieutenant Miyazaki blushed at first, and then suddenly said: "No wonder the seniors who came back from North Korea said that now the army stationed in North Korea is taking military discipline seriously, and the army will never be allowed to be rude to the North Koreans. ”
Seeing that Second Lieutenant Miyazaki was only now understanding the military order, Kita Ikki took a great interest in the education system of the War Department. God knows how torn the War Office guys are when they face a tricky situation. If the Japanese army does not deceive and drive the army with lies, it will not have the will to fight. And no matter how many big lies are told, the crow's wings can't stop the sun. Just by looking at the few war-fearing Japanese ensigns in front of you, you can know what level of morale of the Japanese troops stationed in Korea is.
Second Lieutenant Matsumoto is a relatively calm one, he also mixed with Second Lieutenant Miyazaki's nonsense, looked at Kita Yihui seriously, Matsumoto asked: "Mr. Kita, without China's support, we will definitely be able to solve the rebellion in Korea." But can't we really beat China? I heard from my classmates that you have been in China for a long time, and you have even met His Excellency Chen Ke, Chairman of the People's Party. I hope you can give a real explanation. ”
As soon as Matsumoto said that Kita Yihui had seen Chen Ke, the other ensigns were all stunned. They already admired Bei Yihui's insight, but they didn't expect Bei Yihui to be so promising. Since the First Sino-Japanese War and the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, Japan has gradually looked down on China. But this situation did not last long, and since the People's Party conquered the German-held city of Qingdao a decade ago, and then took out the Japanese troops attacking Qingdao, Japan once again felt the strong pressure brought by China, and the mentality of contempt for China changed dramatically.
After the Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat in Northeast China, they did not dare to underestimate China. Even in the face of Chen Ke, who is the leader of the enemy country, the young Japanese soldier can't help but add the honorific title of Your Excellency. Bei Yihui, who has met Chen Ke, seems to be worth even more.
"If you want to go to war with China, it's not without a chance. This year, due to the fact that the lease of the brigade has arrived. The Chinese Government wanted the Japanese troops to withdraw from the Lushun Dalian area, and they openly said that if the Japanese troops remained in the Luda area on 1 January next year, China would launch a military operation in the Luda area. If Japan wants to go to war with China, this is the best opportunity. ”
Hearing that there was really a chance of a full-scale war with China, several Japanese ensigns did not have the excitement of making meritorious contributions at all, but their faces were very ugly.
After glancing at each other several times, Second Lieutenant Miyazaki, who seemed to be a hardliner, said: "Isn't it possible for China to accept the Japanese army to stay in the Luda area?" ”
"They absolutely don't accept it." Kita Ikki replied very decisively.
With the opportunity to go to war with China, Second Lieutenant Miyazaki could not say hard words about fighting to the death with the Chinese. Because of the young man's good face, he wanted to say something angrily, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"The victorious army wins first and then seeks battle, and the defeated army fights first and then seeks victory." This is the only art of war that Bei Yihui learned in the cadre school, and it is also the art of war that he really figured out, "The purpose of war is to win, China is ready to win, all they have to do is to seek fighters." Therefore, those who are good at fighting are invincible. And not lose the defeat of the enemy. Whether it is China or the DPRK, as long as it stands on the basis of the people's war, it will already be invincible. ”
"Mr. North, is there no way to defeat the Koreans?" Second Lieutenant Ando asked seriously.
Kita was silent for the time being. The discussion environment in the People's Party Party School is quite relaxed, and the level of understanding of "materialism," "seeking truth from facts," and "Marxism" is very high. According to the more popular viewpoint, if you have learned the materialist view of history and seeking truth from facts, you can be a slave owner in the slave era, an official or a landlord in the feudal era, a capitalist in the capitalist era, and a qualified laborer in the socialist and future communist era. In the final analysis, historical materialism and seeking truth from facts are all ways of cultivating the ruling class.
How high the level of revolution of the North Koreans is, Bei Ilhui has no say in the matter without investigation, but from the perspective of historical materialism, there is no way to deal with North Korea. But Kita did not want to contribute to this unjust war, let alone serve the Japanese ruling class. Revolution must first have its own class consciousness, and no matter how inadequate Kita Ikki feels that his consciousness is, he cannot stand on the side of the Japanese rulers.
"Mr. North, why don't you instruct us? Can't you trust us? Second Lieutenant Matsumoto asked nervously.
"I'm just telling you, what's the use? Can you change Japan's overall strategy? Not even to the top, your superiors will listen to your advice? Do you think the Japanese army is the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army? Fortunately, Kita Yihui said it very bluntly.
"What's the difference?" Second Lieutenant Matsumoto was puzzled.
Bei Yihui simply put the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army's pre-war seminars, immortal meetings, mobilization meetings, and corresponding meticulous ideological work, with party members undertaking the most dangerous work during the war, and Communist Youth League members undertaking the next most dangerous work, as well as joining the party in the line of fire, promotion during the war, and post-war summary meetings. In particular, when evaluating meritorious service, combat heroes are basically grassroots soldiers and commanders, and middle and senior commanders only evaluate their abilities, but rarely give meritorious service.
Later, the young Japanese lieutenants were dumbfounded. They wanted to suspect that Kita was making up the story, but it didn't look like it could be made up at all. I've been talking about it for a long time, and it's time for the curfew. Several of the officers, as much as they wanted to stay up all night, were still afraid of military law. Sincerely ask Bei Yihui to meet again the next day, Bei Yihui didn't dare to agree casually. The group of young soldiers in front of them stiffened because of the excitement. If you dare to promise them to see you tomorrow, you may not know who will come.
"I've been very busy at school lately, so I won't be able to come tomorrow. Let's go in a few days. Kita Yihui said kindly.
The Japanese are very respectful and inferior, and even more about the order of the elder and the youngest. Since Kita Yihui said so, the young lieutenants did not dare to make a mistake, and they sincerely asked Kita Yihui to come to "Matsutsuru Maru" when he was free, and then left the liquor store.
Kita has also given little thought to military issues lately, and having been in China for so long, he is well aware of the style of the People's Party. If the People's Party dares to speak out, it will never be possible to go to the hospital because of illness. The maturity of an organization is manifested in patience. Even if the BJP encounters a situation where the butt is burning, as long as they are not prepared, they can endure it. The notion of "self-reliance and abundant food and clothing" is by no means a slogan. This time, the People's Party announced that it wanted Japan to withdraw from the Luda region in 1913, so I am afraid that two years earlier, the People's Party had already begun preparations for all-out war.
However, Kita Kazuki did not worry too much about the issue of war, judging from the virtue of the Japanese army, which was already extremely difficult to deal with Korea, as long as the War Department had the most basic sense, it would not be stupid enough to start a war with China. But they are afraid that they will not choose to withdraw from the Luda area, and they are only afraid that the whole thing will be solved diplomatically. Thinking of this, Kita Ikki couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for the current Prime Minister Gonbei Yamamoto. Becoming prime minister during this period is not glory at all, but a real torture.
The owner of "Matsutsuru Maru" did not dare to provoke the soldiers, and it was already late at night when Kita Ichiki left the store. Although the boss looked sleepy and almost asleep, he still bowed very politely.
Compared to the bright lights of Wuhan, the former capital of the People's Party, Tokyo at night is a dark world. Those who patrol at night carry lanterns, stilt on stilts, and shout from time to time the words "watch out for the candles". The whole of Tokyo is immersed in a peaceful sleep.
Kita Yihui walked slowly, he felt very tired, but he also felt happy. When reasoning with others, it is also a process of sorting out one's own thoughts. Over the past few days, Kita Ikki feels that he has gradually integrated what he has learned. Even the concept of the "proletariat", which was once the biggest difficulty, has made a great breakthrough. After leaving Japan for several years, Kita Ikki learned a lot about the current situation in Japan through social surveys and students' questions while teaching students. The status quo had puzzled Kita in the past, and now he felt that he was able to recognize the inherent inevitability of these current situations. The thing that bothers Kita the most now is how to teach what he has learned to those around him.
Thinking about things slowly all the way, when he returned to his residence, it was already two o'clock in the night, and Kita Yihui fell asleep upside down, and he didn't wake up until almost ten o'clock the next morning.
The students didn't dare to disturb Kita Ikki, and Kita Ikki felt a little embarrassed when he got up. At this time, it was almost lunchtime, and he could only think about what to eat first, and then talk about what to do in the afternoon.
As a result, just after lunch, a guest came to visit. The person who came was still a big one, which made the students feel a little awe-inspired. Kita Ichiki arrived at the door, only to see Okamura Ninji Daisaku of the War Department wearing a summer military uniform, standing in the sun outside the door and waiting. Next to it is Okawa Zhouming, who greeted him first.
Seeing Kita Yihui come out, Okamura Ningji first looked at Bei Yihui carefully, and then said slowly: "Beijun, I heard that you drank with several soldiers of the army yesterday, and you also spread a lot of inappropriate remarks. Is there such a thing? ”
