Seeing Li Kongrong talking about such a philistine as buying and selling, and investing, the reporters finally couldn't help it, this time it was Yu Dafu, he said: "Colonel Li, is this really appropriate?" Wasn't the war started by the Japanese warlords? The Japanese people were only deceived and coerced by them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIs it really appropriate for us to demand huge war reparations from Japan, and in the end it will fall on the heads of the Japanese people? ”

"......" Li Kongrong was originally very proud that he had the wit to pull the ice battleship out to coax people, which could not only mislead the Japanese, but also explain very well why the navy was bound to win the war of resistance. He was thinking about whether he should invest some money to build a small-tonnage ice test ship, and the problem of Yu Dafu's brain-dead came to him. He was a little dazed, and after a while, he said, "Does everyone think like this?" ”

"Yes, Colonel Lee." Zhang Chukun also said. "The Japanese people are kind and peace-loving, and the war was completely provoked by the Japanese warlords for their own selfishness."

"Huh." Li Kongrong smiled, "Then let me ask you, what is the benefit of the war to the Japanese warlords?" ”

"They can ......," Zhang Chukun said in a cliché, and if he really wanted to say that the Japanese warlords had any benefits, he couldn't answer the specifics. Can't you get rich by fighting? It's impossible for them not to embezzle military pay, right? ”

"And how much can they embezzle?" Li Kongrong continued to ask. "Since the beginning of the war, Japan has invested 20 billion yen in military spending, which is basically more than its annual national production income. This year is the year in which Japan's military spending is the highest, and it is also the year in which Japan's economy is most prosperous when it is stimulated by the war. Of course, as in China, you can only see an increase in military spending in numbers, and in the case of high prices, real military spending is reduced.

20 billion yuan is only these three years, and tens of billions of military spending will be spent in the next few years. Do you really think that the Japanese are stupid? Five or six billion military expenditures, hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, just to make the generals embezzle? Since they can provoke a war, why didn't he choose a truce and directly embezzle these tens of billions of military spending? ”

Zhang Chukun's face was red when he was refuted by Li Kongrong, and he forcibly endured his displeasure and said: "Then why do you say the warlords provoked the war?" Didn't Japan start a war to destroy our country and exterminate our species? ”

"Where is the evidence of the extinction of the country and the extinction of the species?" Li Kongrong asked rhetorically, "How are the Japanese compared to the Mongols and Manchus in the past?" Did the Mongols and Manchus go extinct? I think the articles written by you journalists are fundamentally contradictory. On the one hand, he said that the Japanese were going to destroy the country and the species, and on the other hand, he said that the people in the occupied areas were pitiful, and the Japanese tried their best to enslave them. Is this going to be extermination or enslavement? ”

"Colonel Lee, then who do you say started the war?" Guan Chupu, the editor-in-chief, couldn't sit still.

"Of course, a group of contradictory journalists, plus a group of low-level staff officers who want to make a difference, and finally countless people who fanatically support the war." Li Kongrong said disdainfully, he put the reporter at the forefront. "And the emperor can't get rid of it, and his weight in it won't be known until after the war."

"Journalists can also provoke wars......" Guan Chupu smiled embarrassedly, he really didn't know how to evaluate Li Kongrong's views.

"Of course. A few decades ago, the Russo-Japanese War was provoked by a Times reporter named Morrison, so the West called the Russo-Japanese War 'Morrison War'; and now the war in Europe is also provoked by a group of tabloid reporters, who blame the Jews and the German Communist Party for Germany's defeat in World War I. The Sino-Japanese war is also inseparable from journalists, and without the instigation and deception of journalists, China and Japan would not have reached this point.

Journalists have a problem. What's wrong? They judge things in advance: the big guys are bad and evil; The little people, such as the people, are good and kind. That's how they fantasize about it, and even if reality is in front of them, they have to find a lot of excuses to prove themselves completely right. If Japan is defeated, if you go to Japan and take a look, you will definitely come to the conclusion that the war was provoked by a small number of militants, warlords, and the like, and that we, the people, were deceived. If Germany had been defeated, the Germans would have said that the war had been provoked by Hitler alone, and that the people had been deceived by them, and even the German generals would have said that Hitler had screwed up the war, and what would have happened if he had listened to me.

What's the point? Of course, the sin is borne by the dead or others, and the living do not lie or shirk their responsibilities, how can they live their lives? Will they tell you how happy and happy they were when the Japanese army occupied Nanjing? Will they say how excited and proud they were when the Japanese army occupied the Northeast without blood? Will they admit how enthusiastic they were when they signed up for the army and how much they hated the brutal Chinese people?

No! They will only tell you how much he suffered because of the war, especially how many people died in their family when they blockaded Japan and landed in Japan, and how they survived with their families in the ordeal of the war. If you make a movie about these things, you will definitely shed tears for them and be moved by them when you pay to see them.

So put away your wishful thinking. This war was not provoked by any warlord, but by fanatical low-level officers who wanted to contribute to Great Japan, and the vast majority of the people, through the persistent deception of journalists, supported this war. ”

"What evidence do you have?" Zhang Chukun hurriedly asked, he is also picking the wrong one now.

"Evidence? Do you know about the Hibiya Yakita Incident in 1905? Li Kongrong looked at him, his eyes flickering.

Zhang Chukun shook his head, but Fu Wushu said: "It seems that Japan and Russia signed a contract back then, and the people were very dissatisfied with the trouble. ”

"Yes. Japan and Russia signed a contract in the United States, but there was no reparation in it, so the people were very dissatisfied. Li Kongrong nodded, feeling that Fu Wuboring still had something to do. Because of the Sino-Japanese War in 1895, the Manchus paid reparations, and the Japanese made a lot of money at that time: they spent 80 million taels of silver on military expenses, but the indemnity was 230 million taels of silver, earning 150 million taels.

In the Russo-Japanese War, 1.7 billion yen was spent on military spending, and the Russians paid nothing except for the food of the prisoners. The spoils of war were only the southern half of Sakhalin Island, half of the Dongqing Railway, and then the Lushun fortress and Dalian, that is, the Kwantung Prefecture. This must be a huge loss, so the Japanese people wanted Russia to pay reparations, and their demand at that time was whether to get 2 billion or 3 billion yen, which was probably this number, and they could earn a little anyway. However, the Japanese government compromised due to international pressure, and the people were very dissatisfied, believing that this was a traitorous official and a shameless attempt to make peace. So starting from Tokyo, there was a large-scale harassment across the country, and finally had to send troops to suppress it.

Let's take the Russo-Japanese War as a scenario for the current Sino-Japanese war. After spending 20 billion yuan in military spending in three years, the Japanese army has hit Wuhan, our heartland, and it is okay to stop the war, but the question is how much do you want to give Japan? At least 20 billion yen without losing money; Then there is Northeast Manchukuo, which you must recognize; In addition, it is certainly necessary to set up a demilitarized zone in North China and along the coast, as Gengzi or 128 did, in which only Japan can garrison troops. If you can't do these three things and sign a contract, Hibiya Yakita will definitely be staged again. You say that the Japanese people are kind, and it is precisely because of these 'kind' Japanese people that none of the Japanese government dares to openly advocate an armistice and peace talks.

The Chinese denounce traitors, while the Japanese hate non-nationals. What is a non-national? It is a person who does not unite with everyone and the whole country and opposes the war alone. This kind of person does not need the Japanese police to come forward, the people themselves will clean him up, relatives and neighbors will not associate with them, as long as they go out, they will be despised and scolded, and their children will be bullied at school. Can you say that the Japanese people do not support the war? ”

Li Kongrong looked at Yu Dafu and Zhang Chukun, and his eyes became more and more aggressive: "Will the Japanese cabinet not know that the Chinese battlefield is a bottomless pit?" They have known for a long time, and those generals have known for a long time, that the so-called 'one-hit theory' is not precisely to avoid such a situation. However, the Japanese cabinet could not control the situation very early, and after the assassination of Prime Minister Inu Yangyi by a low-level officer, the cabinet completely lost the last bit of control over the military department, and then it was not the Japanese cabinet that commanded the Japanese soldiers, but the Japanese soldiers who commanded the Japanese cabinet.

What does 918 have to do with the Japanese Cabinet? This is something that the Kwantung Army made up on its own. The Chinese side thought that it was the Japanese government's intention and did not dare to shoot back. Well, more than 10,000 Kwantung Army, under the command of more than a dozen Japanese staff officers, captured hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army and seized the entire Northeast. At this time, the Japanese government's opposition to the invasion and occupation of Northeast China will be a traitor, and the Hibiya Burning Attack will definitely be staged again, so they can only push the boat down the river, find out if China is wrong, and help those staff officers wipe their butts......"

Guan Chupu, Fu Wubo, Wang Junshi, and Yu Dafu were all wide-eyed, surprised by what Li Kongrong said, and only Zhang Chukun smiled at the corner of his mouth -- from the moment Li Kongrong said that the Japanese people enthusiastically supported the war, he did not believe what he said.

"The 77 Incident is almost the same routine. The Japanese government really had a premeditated plan, why were most of the officers of the North China garrison not at their posts that day? At that time, there were only a few thousand Japanese troops in North China, but Song Zheyuan had 100,000 horses.

At first, the Japanese government only said that it was the 'Lugou Bridge Incident,' and only a few days later said that it was the 'North China Incident,' and after August 13, it said that it was the 'China Incident.'" The incident escalated step by step, and the instigator was the Japanese low-level staff officers, who were jealous of the group of people who launched the 918 campaign to increase their official ranks, and the Japanese cabinet was just an institution that wiped the ass of the military department, and the cabinet also hoped for the country. When the Japanese army could not bear the losses and agreed to peace talks, they would negotiate peace with Nanjing as soon as possible, but Songhu did not hold and occupied Nanjing, Wuhan did not hold and finally retreated to Chongqing. ”

Speaking of which, Li Kongrong finally stopped. In his description, the low-level Japanese officers were the initiators of the war, the people were the supporters, and the high-ranking officials of the Japanese government were innocent and had no choice but to do so.

"Colonel Lee, I don't believe your explanation." Zhang Chukun didn't believe it at all.

"Huh." Li Kongrong didn't care, "Of course you don't believe it, your logic is that the proletarians are noble and the propertied are despicable." Of course, the war was started by high-ranking Japanese officials, warlords, and chaebols for their own selfishness, and the good Japanese people were deceived by them. But you can never explain why the Japanese fought a losing war. ”

"Because ......" Zhang Chukun's logic really couldn't explain this problem, and when he wanted to say it, Fu Wubo held him down. At this time, Wang Junshi then asked: "Does the colonel mean that the war was provoked by low-level Japanese officers, supported by the Japanese people, and the Japanese government had to acquiesce?" ”

"Of course. After spending 20 billion on military spending, everyone still hasn't surrendered, and if they surrender, they have no money to compensate, so what else to fight? Li Kongrong said: "The Japanese magnates have brains and know that the Sino-Japanese War is a loss-making business like the Russo-Japanese War. The Russo-Japanese War was fought because Russia did not guarantee that Korea would belong to Japan's sphere of influence, and they were worried that after Russia swallowed Northeast Korea and Korea, it would be their turn next.

On the Chinese side, the Northeast will not dare to swallow it, and if you want to erect a cover of Manchukuo, what can he do in the Guannai? I can't swallow it, I can't immigrate, and I'm still very poor; The resources are there, but he wants to build the railroad like he did in the Northeast. What are you doing when you knock it down? If it really wants to fight, why did it start with an increase in troops in North China instead of Shanghai? And why did you attack Wuhan immediately after taking Nanjing without going up the river? From the perspective of military strategy, the most lethal thing in China is the Yangtze River, it is useless for you to occupy the railway, the railway is easy to be destroyed, but the Yangtze River shipping is difficult to destroy; The railway can't support a million-strong army, but the Yangtze River can.

If the Japanese wanted to destroy the country, they would definitely mobilize more than thirty or forty divisions and regiments to attack Shanghai directly, and they would fight along the Yangtze River without any skills. The next section is controlled for a period and hits all the way to Chongqing. Then, with Wuhan as the center, along the railway or north or south, the slightly larger forces in the country can be wiped out in two years. After buying, differentiating and utilizing, in another three years, China will be a 'royal paradise'.

The fact that the Japanese did not do so shows that Japan had no intention of destroying the country at the beginning, and that the war escalated little by little, first at Lugou Bridge, then in North China, and then after August 13, there was a full-scale invasion. Obviously, it was the Japanese low-ranking military officers who provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident, and because the two governments could not agree on public opinion, the Lugou Bridge Incident turned into the North China Incident, which in turn led to the Battle of Shanghai on August 13, and only then did the two sides start an all-out fight.

This is clearly a war caused by small people, not a decision from the top. Many people laugh at Japan as a small country that doesn't understand strategy, but if you look at the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Japanese-German Qingdao War, these three wars were planned and launched by the Japanese government, can you say that the Japanese don't understand strategy? Can you find a waste of chess in these three battles? No, you can't see it, and even if there is, it's an intelligence mistake. From the very beginning, the Army General Staff Headquarters and the Navy Command Department drew up a detailed war plan, and they grasped it all from the very beginning and knew it in their hearts. Only in the current war, the Japanese are constantly scrapping chess and disorganized. There is only one explanation for such a war: that is, the officers are alone, the people are fanatically supportive, and the government has no choice but to deal with the aftermath.

If you don't understand this, you won't be able to win against the Japanese. Because we cannot grasp the pulse of the enemy, we do not know what reason he is fighting and what purpose he is going to achieve. If you don't understand this, you don't know who we should punish after the victory over Japan. You thought it was the warlord who started the war, and then you killed all the high-ranking Japanese warlords. In fact, many of these people were against the war, at least against the war being fought like this, and they knew that it would definitely not work to fight like this, and Japan would definitely be dragged down, but because they were afraid of being assassinated by the soldiers and the people were very fanatical, they did not dare to say it, and it was useless to say it. But you still killed them, and instead spared the real culprits - the low-level officers, the fanatical people, the journalists who advocated aggression, and you treated them as a group of victims.

In that case, not only did you not avenge the tragic death of our compatriots under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army, but you also killed those warlords or high-ranking officials who did not want to fight a loss-making war, that is, your so-called warlords or high-ranking officials, and the result was to clear the last obstacle to the next war for the real culprit, just like Nazi Germany after the loss of Hindenburg.

Do you think there will be no end to this war after it is over? It's a dream! No matter how kind you treat the Japanese, they will think about revenge. Because the culprit is still there, they can still provoke hatred between China and Japan. And your kindness to them before will only make him feel that you are very deceitful, because not only do you not distinguish between right and wrong, but you also violate their belief that the strong man is king, which shows that you are not strong at all, and Japan will never give in to the weak, because it is an insult to them, so he will rise up again to defeat you and trample you under your feet. ”
