Education is the foundation of a country. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info In this era, there is no major country in the world except the Ming Dynasty that can achieve complete education popularization work. Because it requires a huge amount of capital investment.

In this era without the internet, the cost of paper alone is enough to put many countries off. Not to mention the investment of teachers.

Even Germany, which claims to be as developed as the Ming Dynasty, has many illiterates, not to mention Japan, the countryside of Japan. The reason for this phenomenon is very simple, that is, the strong rise of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty began to carry out the Age of Discovery, which was a complete tragedy for other countries and nations in the world. The mighty Ming Dynasty used hundreds of years to occupy almost all the delicious fruits of the entire Age of Discovery. With a large amount of capital, and forced the world to transfuse blood for the Ming Dynasty, he was able to implement universal education for the people.

And those countries and nations that failed to take advantage of the Age of Discovery, or were defeated by the Ming Dynasty, want to keep up with the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty in the industrial age, so they can only choose to squeeze the domestic surplus value. But how much oil and water can a country squeeze out?

When this oil and water is invested in industry, military, economy, infrastructure and so on, education can only be pushed back. In order to solve this situation, many countries have opted for elite education, and this is the case in Japan.

The so-called elite education is unable to support the whole country to study, so it can only select a group of elites to concentrate resources to support. All countries are basically the same, and they all choose urban populations. Japan is no exception. This makes the city people real city people, and they have an inexplicable sense of pride in front of the villagers because they can have more opportunities to receive education. It is by no means as in the modern moment that the concept of the city and the countryside has long been blurred.

More than 90% of Japan's educational institutions are located in large and medium-sized cities, and only those in each city have access to complete educational resources. As for the countryside, it really can only be the countryside.

"I heard you're playing against North Koreans? How's it going? Li Ling motioned for Oda Masao to sit in the jeep and talk.

Flattered Oda Masao hurriedly nodded, got into the jeep, took out a cigarette and lit it for Li Ling before he spoke: "Yes, Your Excellency." Those North Koreans looked down on us, believing that they were equipped with artillery, heavy machine guns, and armored vehicles, and that they were inevitably better than our security forces, which only had Type 38 rifles and Type 11 light machine guns. So we compete to see who can kill more Japanese soldiers in one day. We won. ”

Oda Masao's expression was very flat when he said this, and Li Ling's heart tightened when he saw it.

"Do you know why they can be armed with so many heavy weapons, and you can only use rifles?" Li Ling played with a windproof lighter in his hand, and asked with a smile.

"Why?" Oda Masao also felt very strange, these self-defense forces were absolutely loyal to Daming. Because their future can only be pinned on the basis of the victory of the Ming Dynasty, and in Japan they are traitors. How can a person who surrenders in the first place to survive not be loyal to his master?

So Oda Masao has always wondered why the Ming Dynasty would let those ineffective Koreans be equipped with the same equipment as the Ming regular army, while his loyal soldiers could only use old-fashioned rifles?

"Because you have strong fighting power." Li Ling smiled and said, "Those North Koreans don't have any combat effectiveness. Therefore, give them sophisticated equipment, let them improve their combat effectiveness and give them a sense of security at the same time, so that they will not collapse before they go to the battlefield. And you are very good, you are all elite warriors, even if you just use ordinary weapons, it is enough to exert full combat effectiveness. Here's why. ”

"I see." Although he could feel that Li Ling was talking nonsense, Oda Masao would definitely not contradict him.

"What did you win?" Li Ling changed the topic curiously. He went to the regiment headquarters yesterday to deal with things, and he didn't know the actual content of this so-called competition.

Oda laughed out loud when he heard this: "A few kilometers away in the valley, there is a small village of Tachikawa Village, and we made a bet with the North Koreans that whoever wins the village will belong to whoever wins. After we won, we opened the village last night. ”

"......" Li Ling looked at Oda Masao with a flat expression on a strange expression, he didn't understand what these Japanese were thinking at all. How can they do cruel things that none of the real invaders have done, and these Japanese people can do it without any sense of dragging?

What does the so-called opening of the village mean, Li Ling, who has been messing with these Japanese for a while, is very clear. To put it simply, it is to burn, kill and loot, and vent all the dark sides in your heart.

Li Ling was silent for a moment, but finally shook his head and didn't say anything more.

"Let's go." When the Self-Defense Forces who were wielding iron drills to fill in the pit began to climb the trucks one after another, Li Ling looked at the fresh smell of soil not far away, and sighed in his heart, "The harvest here next year will definitely be very good." ”

......

The powerful, mechanized, overwhelming naval and air forces and a hundred times the Japanese army's logistical supply soon swept away the entire island of Kyushu, annihilating the hundreds of thousands of Japanese defenders stationed there.

The capture of Kyushu Island had an immeasurable impact on the entire Japanese war situation. After the end of the war on Kyushu Island, the Americans judged that the Japanese could no longer hold on, and that it was no longer meaningful to continue to maintain the North Pacific route, which had suffered terrible casualties.

The Americans, who were mercenary and had seen everything very thoroughly, decisively ended the route to aid Japan that suffered heavy casualties under the joint strangulation of the Ming attack ships and submarines, and pressed the last straw for the collapse of the Japanese.

After the loss of US aid, Japan's top leaders fled to the United States one after another in despair. The dissatisfaction of ordinary people with the government and the emperor has reached the extreme. They sacrificed their lives to fight, and those who sold their sons and daughters saved their own rations to support the country. As a result, his family was about to be starved to death, and the Ming army had already hit the Japanese mainland!

Instead of getting any war dividends in this war, ordinary people contributed all of themselves. Naturally, no one wants to bear this outcome. However, they forgot that they also rejoiced when Japan took the initiative to go to war and seized a lot of benefits in the early stages of the war.

The Japanese, unable to endure it any longer, launched a massive riot that engulfed almost all of Japan. They destroyed shops and warehouses, plundered the homes of the wealthy, and engaged in fierce fighting with the army and police who had come to suppress them. The whole of Japan was in turmoil.

The Japanese government knows that it can no longer continue to fight, and if it still grits its its teeth and insists on it in this case, it will really destroy the country and exterminate the species.

They secretly sent an envoy to the imperial capital to beg for peace with Zhang Cheng, the helmsman of the Ming Dynasty. They also mobilized all the forces and connections they could to try to lobby Zhang Cheng. The Japanese said that as long as the integrity of the Japanese state could be maintained, the emperor would continue to exist, and Japan was willing to accept all the conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Cheng was simply dismissive of the Japanese begging and peace. It is said that it accepts all conditions, but in fact it is nonsense.

The so-called maintenance of Japan's national integrity means that Japan does not have to cede land and pay compensation. The continued existence of the emperor meant that the mastermind who had single-handedly pushed for the outbreak of war could go unpunished. Moreover, most of the high-ranking Japanese personnel who Zhang Cheng regarded as war criminals have fled to the United States with huge sums of money, and the trial of war criminals is, at least for now, empty talk.

What else is there? Reparations? With Japan's terrible situation at this moment, what more can they pay for reparations?

Gold and silver from the treasury and private sector have been shipped to the United States, and domestic targets of some value have been blown up. What else is there in Japan besides tens of millions of mouths waiting to be fed and waiting to eat?

Where is this begging and? This is clearly preparing for the Ming Dynasty to feed tens of millions of hungry people in Japan.

Not surprisingly, the Japanese envoy was driven away. Their begging and conditions were thrown back by Zhang Cheng, and they only accepted unconditional surrender. What Americans can do in modern time and space, there is no reason why Daming can't do it. Could it be that in the eyes of Japan, Daming is easy to bully?

As for those upper-level people who were moved by the Japanese and spoke and lobbied for the Japanese, they all fell into bad luck, and Zhang Cheng took them all down. Now no one dares to speak for the Japanese in front of Zhang Cheng. Everyone thinks of the Japanese as plague gods, and it's just a rhythm of hiding when you see it.

The door to begging for peace was closed, and the Japanese, who had no way out, could only choose to continue the war even more frantically. After all, these Japanese who hold the power will not be able to send themselves away in order to save Japan. No one is so great.

When the Ming Dynasty swept Kyushu Island, the Japanese organized several large-scale air raid operations in succession. The total number of warplanes dispatched exceeded 4,000. And a significant part of them are kamikaze fighters.

The end result was that the Japanese fighter force was almost completely wiped out. The battle damage of thousands of fighters left the Japanese with little air power to use for a long time. Relative to their losses, the Japanese achieved quite limited results.

When the Ming Dynasty had a detailed understanding of the Japanese army's tactics, there was no possibility for the kamikaze troops, who had no pilots alive to return to impart their experience. And the Ming army is getting better and better in every aspect.

For example, the Ming army knew to give early warning, knew to open the air defense circle as much as possible, and knew to shoot down kamikaze fighters before they approached the target.

The Ming Dynasty's strong industrial strength and a steady stream of various aircraft are the most important bargaining chips in this war. In less than a month, the Ming army gave birth to two ace pilots who shot down more than 100 planes. And there are countless pilots who have shot down more than 10 planes.

The powerful air power of the Ming Dynasty put boundless pressure on the Japanese army. Even the movement of Japanese troops on their own soil became a very difficult task. And this is the true embodiment of the gap in strength on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
