Chapter 1450: The Sorrow of the Weak
If it is said that in this world, Yang Yuanzhao knows the Japanese best, Yang Yuanzhao definitely calls it one of them, not that he has studied Japan very thoroughly, he is not even as good as those students who have studied in Japan in this era, but the future history has given Yang Yuanzhao a reference, because of the emergence of China, history has changed, and it cannot be the key to judging the problem, but for Yang Yuanzhao, judging what Japan needs from the history of later generations is relatively simple.
The Japanese have a strange personality and tenacity, and after World War II, they were able to grow into the world's second largest economy under extremely difficult conditions, and even their master, the United States, felt threatened, and oppressed Japan with strength, so that Japan agreed to the Plaza Agreement, harvested Japan, and let Japan begin a 30-year recession, almost collapse.
But Japan still persevered, that kind of tenacity in the bones, they can't be difficult because of Alaska, the desire for land, so that they will cherish every inch of land, Alaska's 1.71 million square kilometers of land, much larger than the three northeastern provinces, resources, definitely more abundant than the three eastern provinces, because this is a deserted place, to the 21st century, there is also the discovery of dog's head gold.
If Alaska is not a tempting bone, you can add Canada, a huge territory of 9.9 million square kilometers with a population of just over 10 million, although Canada is also a member of the British Commonwealth, but at the juncture of war, how much can Britain interfere.
Under the premise that it is destined that China will not be able to win enough rights and interests in the Americas, it is better to cheapen Japan than to lose these things, which can be used as a huge cake. Such a huge territory is enough to meet all the needs of the Japanese side for land, and as long as the Japanese take the bait and set foot on the territory of the Americas, it will be impossible for the Japanese to turn back, and their relationship with the United States is destined to be irreconcilable.
At that time, Japan will have two choices, one is to completely abandon its territory in Asia and enter the Americas, which is the best choice for China, and there will be no worries about the future, and the direct result of entering the Americas will be to confront the United States, and Japan will not necessarily fall behind in the confrontation with the United States when it has Canada's huge territory, and when Japan's desperate spirit confronts the United States, the United States will never have peace. On the other hand, if Japan does not give up its Asian side, China can pinch Japan's life at any time, and its vital point will be directly exposed under China's attack range, and the strategic aircraft group deployed in Korea can cover the entire territory of Japan, and when the time comes, the strategic bombers with further strength will be enough to bomb the four Japanese islands back to the primitive society.
Between countries, there is no so-called friendship, relationship, only eternal interests, this is a naked conspiracy for Japan, under the temptation of land, Japan has no choice, Japan is not an opponent of the United States, but the kind of madness that the Japanese have, that kind of desperate combat effectiveness, if under the promotion and arming of China, will become another sharp knife, a sharp knife that threatens the entire Entente.
It seems that this is a good choice, after becoming a superior, many ideas of the **** era gradually disappeared, and the principles and positions will not change, but in some things, Yang Yuanzhao knows more about flexibility, as long as the goal remains the same, in the choice of the road to achieve the goal, it can be more flexible, and even black, but so what, between countries, it is the naked law of the jungle, between the strong and the weak, you can use some means, but it is impossible to solve everything, the real thing lies in strength.
Just like Li Hongzhang, who was known as the Bismarck of the East, he crisscrossed the field of diplomacy, but it was useless, the great powers were arrogant, and they punched him directly, and there was no way to accept it.
Slowly perfected this idea, with the support of such an idea, Yang Yuanzhao looked at this problem again, and there was no sense of humiliation in the previous peace talks with Japan, but at a higher level, weighing this issue, Japan seemed to have a very low attitude, and also showed sincerity, but in terms of what he looked at, this sincerity was not enough, or even far from enough.
In the eyes of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff, the advantages of letting Japan join are more beneficial than disadvantages, and Japan has already shown this attitude, adopting a tough attitude towards Japan, some of which are too harsh, and Japan's little things, in China's view, are almost dispensable, and after China has undergone complete industrialization, the output value of an ordinary province may exceed that of Japan, and the pursuit of the two sides is no longer the same.
It is precisely in this understanding that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Intelligence have agreed to Japan's request, as long as Japan is willing to attach itself to China and provide sufficient help for China in this world-class war, Japan can join China's camp, and then Japan can rush to the front, exert their strength on China, and help China share the pressure.
Yang Yuanzhao, who came from later generations, understands very well that although the Japanese are at the end of the road, they have not reached the final point, what is the trick played by the Japanese, he knows very well, that is, relying on China's strength to resist the Entente, for China, this is the way to go, there is no need to let the Japanese get benefits, and they will prevent disasters for them, this is unreasonable, we must squeeze out the bubble, so that Japan can be weakened to a certain extent.
Yang Yuanzhao's instructions are very perfect, which explains how much benefit Japan will gain if it changes its position, and mentions Japan's personality and future requirements for Japan, not only to grasp it, but also to introduce Japan into the Americas, so that Japan can replace China and confront the United States.
Those who can currently serve in China's General Staff and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are all elites, and they quickly saw a lot of things from this information, not to mention that they analyzed the situation in Japan before, and analyzed it more from the perspective of Japan's economic situation and state form, and did not analyze the benefits that Japan has gained by joining the general camp, more than 6.5 billion US dollars, even if it is placed in China, it is not possible to completely ignore it, and even in this case, Japan is in its hands. There is also some cash and resources, these must be squeezed out, not to mention all, then the Japanese must come up with enough benefits, the Chinese will take them to play a circle, if not, then the Chinese would rather play by themselves, this attitude must be shown.
For the Japanese, when China and the Entente officially fight, it is okay to switch, but they have no way to get external support, China does not attack the mainland of the four islands of Japan, even if it blocks the outside, Japan will be finished, this is also Yang Yuanzhao's confidence, this is Yangmou, I am not worried that the Japanese side will rebound, let Japan get such a big benefit, always let them bleed, besides, even if it is a falcon training, it must be boiled to a certain extent, and directly give the eagle meat to eat, maybe, it will rebound immediately.
The history of later generations cannot directly guide Yang Yuanzhao and the path that China wants to take, but taking history as a mirror, what Japan did in World War I and World War II, and even after World War II, is almost all bloody evidence, Japan has never given up its rise, even after World War II, under the most unfavorable circumstances, it is still making efforts, especially in the economy, under the situation of great progress, the militarism in Japan's bones continues to germinate, not only in Africa, occupying the land resources that may be occupied, And began to confront the United States, wanting to break away from the arms of the United States.
That is, after World War II, the new pattern formed in the world made Japan's ambition not crushed by the United States, but used peaceful means to completely disintegrate Japan, otherwise, before World War I, Japan would have perished.
China is unlikely to follow the same path as the United States, and in this case, there are many things that must be taken into account before cooperating. Before China and Japan, there was still contact, but this contact was not opened before, however, the telegraph line was formulated by the British, through this cable telegraph, easy to expose, in the radio popular years, China could not re-lay the contact with Japan, only exposed a contact point, this is located in the bustling area of Tokyo, Japan a small building, bought by the intelligence bureau 5 years ago, as an intelligence command center, China has seen the attitude of the Japanese clearly, and grasped the initiative, However, it is impossible to expose all the intelligence networks, and after careful selection and consideration of many problems, this was finally determined.
Although this point is said to be a command organization, it has nothing to do with other points, and even if it is exposed, it is impossible to affect the overall situation of the intelligence network, but it can ensure exchanges between the two sides.
Under the current situation of a world war, this kind of liaison will certainly be drowned in almost infinite telegrams all over the world, and it will not cause the slightest ripple, but between Japan and China, through alternative methods, a relatively stable and secure liaison has been established, and negotiations have begun, and they have quickly reached a certain level, and the Japanese side has directly sent the foreign minister, even if the other party is only a Chinese dispatcher, which shows that the Japanese side attaches great importance to this contact, and even the Japanese side deliberately ignored itWhy is there such a point of contact in the hinterland of Tokyo, whose purpose is only to conclude a treaty with China, as long as this threshold is crossed, Japan's future will be a smooth road, and there will be nothing to hinder it.
However, when they saw the final reply, the Japanese Foreign Minister was taken aback, they did not expect that it would be like this, so they asked the emperor and the prime minister, and hurriedly left with the reply. (To be continued.) )
