Section 404 Creation of the god of war
"Perhaps, I should secretly pick a famous biographer and write a biography of Nogi Noshinori. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Qin Lang whispered, but it was more like talking to himself.
"What do you want to do, Qin?" Duncan didn't get it, "Write a biography of Nogi Noshinori? ”
It's like a joke, and it's the kind of extremely boring joke, the cold joke. Nogi Noshinori was a Japanese general who received almost all of his glory from the war of 1894 and the military campaign to occupy Formosa, and he was an enemy of China and the Chinese people...... Of course, Qin Lang is American, but he is Chinese, and he has always hated the Japanese, and is even openly attacking the Japanese economy.
Is there a colder joke than a Chinese who hates Japan and is cracking down on the Japanese economy to pay for a biographer to write a biography of a Japanese army general?
No. Duncan himself answered the question. Then he told himself that Qin Lang was by no means the kind of guy who liked to make boring jokes, and if he wanted to do something, it must have an implicit, and probably a conspiracy, special purpose - but what was his purpose?
Duncan was curious.
However, Qin Lang completely ignored his question and was still talking to himself in a low voice. “…… What name should be used for this biography? "Yamato God of War - General Nogi" or "The Biography of General San Nogi"? But they seem too Japanese and can only be used as Japanese names. So the name of the English version should be ...... "Fearless Admiral Nogi Noshinori"? Or "Rock Shogun Nogi Noshinori" ......"
His eyebrows furrowed. It's so hard to find a perfect name – or rather, it seems like every name fits, and it's a shame to give up on any of them.
And he's not a good name, and that's what really matters.
Qin Lang thought about it for a long time, but in the end, he decided to leave the issue to the author in charge of writing the biography. After all, it's their specialty.
Then he came back to his senses, and immediately saw Duncan's inquiring gaze.
"What's the matter with you, Duncan?" Qin Lang asked.
He looked confused, apparently not hearing the question. Duncan could only sigh helplessly and repeat the question. "I hear that you are going to find a famous biographer to write a biography of the hapless Japanese general. What do you want to do, Qin? ”
"As you heard, write a biography of Nogi Noshinori." After a pause, he added: "I also have to hire some journalists to promote him to the world." ”
"I know it's not going to be that simple." Duncan said in a tone that was by no means confused, "Qin, your plan must have a special purpose. ”
"So, what do you think my special purpose is?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you."
"You can think about it for some time, Duncan." Qin Lang laughed, "When the time comes, I will reveal the answer." ”
However, the answer was simple: he wanted to make Nogi the idol of the Japanese soldiers, a god of war worthy of their imitation - it had become unrealistic to expect the Japanese government or the Japanese army to do this alone, and Nogi Noshinori had created an embarrassing record of losses enough to dispel any idea of elevating him to the rank of god of war - even if it was not superfluous at all, and the ridicule of the navy could do it.
However, Nogi Noshinori is not completely out of the box with the opportunity to be promoted to the god of war. In the same way, even if he doesn't think about other issues, just for his own sake, Gentaro Kodama will do his best to exploit Nogi Noshinori's merits and elevate him to a high position.
Only by doing so will Gentaro Kodama who personally selected and recommended Nogi Noshinori as commander be able to completely absolve him of his responsibilities.
Nogi Noshinori still has a chance.
Of course, the Japanese Army needed some help. Qin Lang had already praised Nogi Noshinori for his courage and loyalty in an interview with reporters, but this was not enough, and the praise of a Chinese-American brigadier general of the US Army could not withstand the attacks of the Navy and others. However, if a biography by a Western biographer praising Nogi was published in the United States, Europe, and Japan, and then mixed with high-profile propaganda in the Western media, the situation would change completely.
This is because young people, whether they are in a rebellious period and like to express their "independent thinking spirit" and are therefore keen to go against the mainstream of society and like to discover the truth, they are not much different from the Boxers, and are called "angry youths" who are fanatical patriots, and naïve teenagers who wishfully believe that Western media reports are always fair and objective...... In fact, almost all kinds of young people, they have a common characteristic is that they are easily confused by the outside world, take what they see or hear as true, and then stubbornly cling to it, as if guarding a treasure.
This is a universal phenomenon, regardless of era, nationality, country, or creed, and is one of the many problems shared by mankind.
Qin Lang had seen many of the similarities, when he was still in college, on the Internet—even though he didn't often visit online forums—even though much of the widely publicized stuff was closer to the history of another world, such as the ridiculous "Beast of Omaha" who enjoyed almost all the gains of the German army on Omaha Beach alone, or some even more bizarre joke about "four thousand cannons, six hundred tanks, and eight hundred planes."
There were always people who believed in these things, and as time went on, as the jokes continued to be displayed as treasures, more and more people believed in them, and in the end, the jokes became well-known facts.
Of course, it's not that no one stands up to resist, but the ignorant people in this world are always the vast majority, and in front of the opponents with absolute superiority in numbers, the rebels can only struggle a few times uselessly at most, and then retreat to the side and sigh that things have become bad again.
It's a funny situation, but it's always happening over and over again, and it always is, and it always will be.
Qin Lang didn't like this situation, but now, he wanted to create such a situation and use the young man's flaws to help ...... Or force the Japanese Army to promote Nogi Noshinori to the god of war.
A very simple job, much easier than the evolution he had ever seen, because the promotion of the glorious image of Nogi Noshinori would satisfy the needs of almost all types of young people: for a conscientious youth, it was against the government; For naïve teenagers who are superstitious about Western media, this is Western propaganda; For the patriotic and indignant youth, who now occupy the mainstream of Japanese society, the propaganda of a general who dedicated his life to the cause of the emperor and the Japanese empire is a concrete expression of patriotism, even if it was first started by the ghost animals of the United States......
Then, the rest is just a matter for the young people of Japan.
Qin Lang had foreseen a future that would be beneficial to him.
His smile came again.
Duncan noticed his expression, and then realized that his plan must be a plot against the Japanese that would lead them into an even worse situation. Still, Duncan couldn't figure out how the Japanese would ...... by publicizing an extremely clumsy general
An extremely clumsy general! At this moment, Duncan suddenly realized that he had figured it out. If the Japanese soldiers all become Nogi Noshinori, then they don't want to win any war.
This is Qin Lang's special purpose.
Duncan was secretly happy. After all, this was the first time he had tried to find Qin Lang before he revealed the answer himself. But his euphoria lasted only a few minutes, for in the middle of that time a new problem had entangled him.
"I still don't understand, Qin." He asked, "Is it possible for us to fight the Japanese army?" Or are you just going to give China a little help? ”
"As long as Japan continues to expand in the Western Pacific, war between the United States and Japan is bound to break out, but I doubt that Japan will be able to expand." Qin Lang laughed again. These were still his plans, and once they became a reality, the pace of Japanese expansion would stall even if Britain remained allied with Japan.
And soon, Britain will also be in trouble, but not because of the Transvaal, but because of Europe.
If all his plans had come true, the First World War would have broken out earlier, and it would have become even bloodier and more brutal.
Qin Lang's smile became more obvious.
His expression ...... Of course, more important is his answer, which gives Duncan a headache. "Qin, can't you finish your words all at once?"
"China?"
"Yes." Duncan said, "You want to help it, right?" ”
"I only do what's good for the company, Duncan." Qin Lang looked at him, very calm, a little careless, as if he was talking about a topic that had nothing to do with him, "Do you think that helping China is any good for the company?" ”
He asked a question, but without waiting for Duncan to answer, he continued: "As long as you think about this, you will understand whether I will help China or not." ”
Duncan fell into deep thought.
Of course, he didn't know Qin Lang's plan, otherwise he could answer this question right away instead of wasting a lot of time thinking about it. But he's not alone.
There is another person who also wants to find out the answer from Qin Lang's actions that have been made public. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
