———— the following text———— with Chen Shao's current ability, it is not difficult to kill all Southeast Asians. Some people may say that the secret slaughter of one or two nasty peoples is not enough, but paper cannot contain the fire after all. If it is declared, how will the people perceive it, and how will the whole world perceive it? And once the butcher's knife is deployed, you can only go down in the dark. Because it is estimated that all the occupied areas will not be peaceful in the future, and everyone is in danger. It's easy to lift a butcher's knife, but it's hard to put it down.

Chen Shao knew about the border refugees as early as a few days ago. However, until today, he did not give a clear answer.

China needs a shuffled Southeast Asia, and the hand that is washed is Japan. In the war of aggression against China in later generations, Japan caused countless evils in the land of China, and Chen Shao did not intend not to settle accounts with Japan in the bloody cases in history. And now, Chen Shao plans to let the Japanese beastliness vent to Southeast Asia. In order to establish a reputation for justice in the future when China takes over Southeast Asia, let the Chinese army take Southeast Asia in the name of the righteous army.

Don't think that reputation is not important, the issue of reputation is important, very important.

In the imperial study, Wang Jie introduced the latest situation of the Chinese gathering places in various war zones to Chen Shao one by one.

"Your Majesty, the latest situation in Europe shows that the situation of the Chinese living in Poland is quite peaceful. Whether it is the Poles or the Soviet-German teams, they are very careful to avoid Chinese gathering places. The wars that broke out were also far away from the Chinese settlements, and the daily life of the Chinese in Poland was still safe. It's just that there are some problems in life, after all, it's a war, and there is a shortage of materials and goods, but the impact is not very great, just overcome it a little.

Most of the Chinese in Southeast Asia have moved to China, and only a few people still live in Southeast Asia. However, these people all hold our Chinese nationality, and the Japanese dare not harm them. But I'm afraid that if there is a mistake, after all, they all look similar, unlike Europe that can be seen at a glance. Therefore, it is difficult to say that the personal safety of those Chinese who still live in Southeast Asia is relatively difficult. ”

After listening to Wang Jie's words, Chen Shao frowned, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table. As Wang Jie just said, Chinese people can be seen at a glance in the white world of Europe, while in Southeast Asia, they all look similar. It is difficult to avoid being accidentally injured by the Japanese, or even being killed as an aborigine. This requires a good way to ensure the safety of the Chinese.

"A note was sent to the Japanese side to pay attention to the safety of the Chinese in Southeast Asia. If you hurt anyone with Chinese nationality, it would be tantamount to a declaration of war against China. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Shao was still a little dissatisfied, thought about it and said: "Send a telegram to Du Yuming and ask him to send a vigilance force to not allow the Japanese army to come within one kilometer of the border." One kilometer beyond the border, as a military buffer zone between China and Japan. ”

"Then the second point needs to be talked to Japan, so as to avoid friction." Wang Jie said.

"You don't need it, just rub it, and you can't fight now." Chen Shao knows very well that it doesn't matter if there is a small friction, it doesn't matter if it's a military conflict, and no matter who is right or wrong, Japan will obediently admit its mistakes. Now that the war has just begun, Japan absolutely does not dare to offend China, and with the constraints of Germany behind it, it does not dare to stare at China with a big eye.

"I see."

After Wang Jie left, Chen Shao took out a list and looked at it. He muttered, "Matsui Ishone, Muto Akira." If the two of you still have a big effect, let you live a few more days. As for Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, hum! ”

———————————— base camp in Tokyo, Japan, Hirohito can be said to be full of red light these days, and for half a month, his face is full of joy. The war in Southeast Asia was smooth sailing, and in half a month, the area east of the Burma Railway was almost completely taken.

Naturally, there is another person who is happy, a person that everyone is familiar with. Hideki Tojo is currently the Prime Minister of Japan and Minister of War. Born in the Kwantung Army, he is good at action and short on thinking, and he is known as the "razor general" in the Kwantung Army because of his arbitrariness, ferocity and brutality.

In later generations, he launched the Pacific War, the Japanese army instigated an attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, the United States, frantically invaded and trampled on more than 10 countries and regions in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and at the same time launched the Battle of Hengyang and the Battle of Changde in China, causing tens of millions of lives to be destroyed.

Originally, he would not become Japan's prime minister until next year, but here, he came to power early, making the whole of Japan crazy with him. Here he is also moving towards even more crazy ideas than the crimes of the afterlife. At the base camp meeting before the attack, he even put forward the idea of "destroying the Southeast Asian nation and making room for the Yamato nation to live."

Because of his crazy ideas, coupled with the command ability of the half-hanger, he was called "Superior Private Tojo" by Ishihara Wanji and Okamura Ninji. It means that Hideki Tojo's command ability is at most a high-class soldier, and he doesn't even have the qualifications of a military officer. In later generations, the bald head was said to be a "battalion commander", and he was even more simply, just a first-class soldier. Both of them are the same, they are both nicknames called by their subordinates, not imposed by others.

And Hideki Tojo's happiness is also mixed with a little madness. At this time, he had not long been in the position of prime minister, and before that he was the prime minister of the Konoe Fumiro cabinet. Last year, the United States began to impose more restrictions on Japan, enacting many unfavorable policies against Japan and pressuring Japan to withdraw from the Axis alliance. At that time, Fumiro Konoe still did not have the courage to directly clash with the United States, and demanded that Minister Tojo should act "cautiously" in major decisions.

At that time, Hideki Tojo said with disdain: "Sometimes, we also have to have the courage to do something extraordinary—like jumping off the platform of Kiyomizuji Temple, just close our eyes." He also shouted: "Regarding the withdrawal from the Axis alliance, I will not make the slightest concession!" If it withdraws, it means that the United States has defeated Japan - just like it was defeated by China back then, it will be a shame in the history of the Japanese Empire! ”

The aristocratic retreat of Konoe Fumiro also caused Showa Hirohito's strong uneasiness. Reluctantly, the resignation of the cabinet was announced. Japan, which was on the brink of war, needed a fool to use as a signboard, and the Japanese chose Hideki Tojo, and Tojo consciously stepped on this step. The day after the resignation of the Konoe Cabinet, the Tojo Cabinet was nominated by the Council of Ministers. Hirohito summoned Hideki Tojo, promoted him to the rank of general, and ordered him to form a cabinet as an active military officer as prime minister and serve as minister of land.

With the support of many parties, the Tojo Cabinet was formally established, which was a centralized "cabinet" that waged war, and Hideki Tojo himself served as the Minister of Land, the Minister of the Interior, and later the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Commerce, Industry, and Munitions. In his inaugural statement, the war maniac declared that "it is the national policy of the empire to take the lead in occupying French Indochina and establishing the 'Sphere of Co-prosperity in Southeast Asia,' and to march forward for the fulfillment of the holy cause under the authority of the emperor." ”

In this time and space, there was no "Nokanmen Incident", and there was no Japanese army that was beaten by the Soviet Union. Therefore, there is no negative impact on Hideki Tojo's popularity, and his extremely crazy personality has aroused extreme admiration from right-wing and militarists in China. gave him one opportunity after another, and even Hirohito often listened to his opinions.

However, in the heart of this crazy militarist, there has always been a thorn stuck in his throat, pricking his nerves from time to time. And China is the thorn in his throat, making him toss and turn and can't sleep.

The originally happy mood was greatly disturbed by the official note sent by China. Looking at the tough and threatening words on the letter, Hideki Tojo couldn't help but curse constantly: "Yaga, China deceives people too much, deceives people too much. ”

Previously, because China had "taken in" tens of thousands of British and French soldiers, Hideki Tojo was very unhappy. And this time today, the joy brought by the interests of the war has been diluted.

"You Chinese are all treasured, you can't even touch it, and you threaten war with it, it's too bullying."

At the moment, he couldn't do much but curse. After all, now that the United States has begun to impose an embargo on Japan, nothing can be circulated. In the past, Japan's oil was imported from the United States, but now this channel has been cut off. It can only be imported from Europe, because China does not give Japan oil either. But in addition to oil, more things need to be exported to Japan by China, especially in terms of steel, which is mainly bought from China by Japan with gold. Steel alone, today's Japan does not dare to offend China. Unless someone can support Japan on a large scale and ask Japan to import materials from China, Japan will definitely not dare to confront China.

Oil and steel are vital in modern warfare, without which a war machine would have to strike, and without steel, even bullets and rifles could not be made. Now despite the US embargo on oil shipments to Japan, there is a way for oil. Japan imports steel from China, and now that the war has begun, the world situation is antagonistic, and Japan cannot find a huge steel import place for the first time.

This is the sorrow of a small country, where there is nothing and the ambition is still so big.

In response to this note, Hideki Tojo also quickly replied.

"The Japanese side will strictly restrain its troops and will absolutely not allow anything that damages Sino-Japanese relations to happen."

Later, Hideki Tojo sent a telegram to Matsui Ishone, commander of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army.

"Before 'doing things', we must confirm that we must protect the Chinese when we encounter them, we must not hurt the Chinese, and we should not include those 'natives' who can speak Chinese on the list of 'handling'."

Making such a decision made Hideki Tojo feel extremely depressed, but there was nothing to be done, the situation was stronger than people. If Hideki Tojo feels that he has a chance to defeat China now, it is estimated that he will not endure it any longer. Washing away Japan's defeat twelve years ago, coupled with today's threat, with unwillingness, made the crazy gene in Tojo Hideki's heart soar.

"As long as the empire digests the territory of Southeast Asia and then takes the Soviet Far East, it will be time to wash away the shame."
