Chapter 316: Let Japan Be a Dog
ZTE 12th year, December 12.
Zong Li came to the imperial study early this morning, and Chen Shao hadn't finished breakfast at this moment. However, Chen Shao did not let him wait for a long time, and before the cup of tea was finished, Chen Shao also came to the imperial study.
"How's the rest?" As soon as he entered the door, Chen Shao was the first to speak.
"Very good, it's been a long time since I've had such a good quality of sleep. Coming together today, I feel a hundred times more energetic. Zong Li nodded.
"It's very good, more energetic than yesterday, remember to combine work and rest, things are busy. If the body is exhausted, who will govern the country. Chen Shao picked up the teacup handed over by Wang Jie, took a sip and said.
"Sometimes when you are busy, you can't take care of so much, there are so many things every day, and you don't dare to slack off in your position." Zong left the mouth.
Chen Shao shook his head and didn't say anything more. Stretched out his finger and pointed to the chair, motioning for Zong Li to sit down and speak. Chen Shao can only be described as very satisfied with the efficiency of the Chinese government departments, mainly because Chen Shao will always create an atmosphere of urgency, so that they dare not slack off. However, it is a good habit to do things, but it also makes them lose a lot of rest time. It's not that there is no time to rest, but they don't dare to take a break for fear of delaying work. Whether it's urgent or not, today's work is completed today, and it really can't be delayed until the next day. As a result, they have less time to rest.
Chen Shao originally hoped that the government departments would not procrastinate, but he didn't expect that the goal was achieved, but it was exceeded. There are priorities in things, and these are not seen in many departments in China, and everything is treated the same. This point is now for Chen Shao to make them change, and it will take a while. However, to be honest, Chen Shao doesn't want to change such an attitude towards doing things, it is not easy to develop such a habit, if it becomes procrastination in the future, it will be a headache.
Now that World War II was looming, he needed an efficient government, not one that gave him a headache. This kind of attitude is a bit tiring, but it is exactly what China needs. It's a big deal to give more compensation in terms of material life. Whether it is a salary increase or an extension of vacation time, things like this are all within Chen Shao's power, and he is happy to compensate them.
In Chen Shao's words, as long as you sincerely do things for China, you don't have to worry about other problems. This is Chen Shao's guarantee to them, and he has always done a good job.
"Your Majesty, this trip to Japan has made me feel a lot of emotion. A few days ago, I was still puzzled by the decision made by His Majesty, but what I saw in Japan made me feel very clearly how prepared our neighbor is for war. I don't know what it was affected by, but now the whole of Japan is like a war machine, and it has not stopped for a moment. More than 90 percent of the factories are producing armaments, which is really amazing, and I can't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Zong Li's return to today's theme is also his first impression when he talks about what he has seen and heard in Japan. It was his first time in Japan, but everything was fresh. Speaking of Japan's military industry, he was quite emotional.
At the previous Qinzheng Palace meeting, he didn't understand Chen Shao's preparation of armaments with such fanfare. More than 30 billion yuan a year is invested in military funds, which is already a huge amount of military money, and there is no country in the world that can reach such a figure in military expenditure. However, the trip to Japan made him feel the power of this small island country around him. Although Japan's annual fiscal revenue is more than 20 billion yuan, the more than 20 billion yuan has not been wasted, and according to his estimates, military expenditure accounts for at least 90 percent of the fiscal revenue, which is a terrible figure.
However, if this number is put in Chen Shao's understanding, 90 percent, such a number is nothing at all, and it is not surprising to reach 100 percent. It was a crazy nation, and the whole nation had been fooled to the extreme by the emperor and militarism. Even if there are sober people, how many can affect all Japanese people? And there has always been no shortage of secret police in Japan, and those Japanese who are still sane cannot exert their power at all.
"The Japanese nation is a crazy nation, with many earthquakes and natural disasters, and it is a country with a very serious psychological crisis. Since the reform of the people's rule, the rise of militarism has further relieved this kind of anxiety, and foreign aggression has become a direct way for the Japanese to release this pressure. Scarce resources, scarce land, crowded populations, 90 percent of resources need to be imported, all these are problems. Speaking of this, Chen Shao took a sip of tea and continued: "It is living in such a place that the Japanese nation is quite warlike and has developed a warlike nature. They are hungry for foreign wars, to get what they lack. From the First Sino-Japanese Naval War and the Russo-Japanese War to Japan, Japan gained huge benefits. More and more Japanese began to believe that only foreign aggression could get them out of their predicament, and they wanted to turn from an island country into a continental country. This is not a Japanese dream, and it is not a dream of a Japanese era. As long as the Japanese live on those islands, this ambition will not go away. ”
When Chen Shao said this, he remembered Japan in later generations, after decades of economic development, when Chen Shao traveled to this time and space. At that time, Japanese militarism was already showing signs of its rear, and this was not a problem of the Japanese of the times. They fear that one day a tsunami or earthquake will engulf the island nation, and no matter what era of Japanese people in the future, such pressure will always be there.
"Listening to Your Majesty say this, now I can clearly feel the nature of the Japanese, and with such neighbors, it seems that we still need to maintain a constant vigilance in our hearts." There are also some ideas in Zongxing. The Japanese government attached great importance to this trip to Japan, and not only did the foreign minister personally go to the airport to pick up the plane, but also held a shrouded reception, and then asked him to visit the Japanese 1st Division.
When visiting this prestigious First Division, Zong Li felt an air of madness from those Japanese soldiers. This is an aura that he can only feel in the Chinese army, a feeling of seeing death as nothing. No, not only the Japanese First Division, but also other divisions and regiments, all have such an atmosphere. This kind of breath can't be seen or touched, but Zong Li just feels it, and it's very shocking.
"I can tell you that Japan's heart for China will not be eliminated, it will never be eliminated. He will only fear and fear us, but he will not give up his ambition for China, and as long as we are in a weak position, Japan will pounce on us without hesitation. During the Great Kanto Earthquake 17 years ago, and the Japanese Cabinet convened the Oriental Conference 11 years ago, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka said that if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China. If we hadn't taken timely action to stifle Japan's invasion of China, China might have been in a mess today. ”
It is now 1938, and there are not as many disasters as Japan imposed on China in later generations, if it were in later generations, now the land of China is already in full resistance to Japan. Where is the scene of peace now, countless Chinese will fall under the butcher's knife of the Japanese. Today, in Nanjing, the term "disaster" will no longer appear. And what Chen Shao has to do is to control the Japanese butcher's knife and let him go to the scourge of the white world. In the end, Japan was kicked into the abyss, leaving it to struggle in a dark world forever.
"Then why does Your Majesty still support Japan so much?" Speaking of the conversation between the two, Zong Li also felt very puzzled, since Chen Shao saw that the Japanese were not dead, why did he export resources to Japan and open the sea route for Japanese steamers to pass by.
"The reason is simple, we need a dog, a dog that dares to bite anyone. Don't you think the Japanese have the potential to be dogs? Bullying the weak and fearing the hard, relying on the support of the master, dare to grin at anyone. This is a rare good dog, and there is no better dog in the whole world. After Chen Shao finished speaking, he laughed lightly.
The reason for Chen Shao's laughter is very simple, in later generations, Japan relied on the power of the United States, jumping around all day long, regardless of the fact that the Japanese side is still trying to get rid of being a dog, what it did made Chen Shao feel very angry. In later generations, Chen Shao was just a flat-headed commoner, and it was difficult to realize what he wanted, and it was difficult to realize his ideas. And in this time and space, he has the strength to do what he wants to do in the hearts of future generations.
Zong Li saw Chen Shao's smile, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable murderous aura, and when he was connected to what he said, such a smile made him feel a palpitation. I already have some understanding of the future outcome of Japan. Being targeted by such a person can only ask for more blessings.
"Your Majesty, but I'm worried that this Japanese dog will suddenly bite its owner back." Zong Li thought for a moment and spoke. Let the Japanese be dogs, be a Chinese dog, Zong Li is very happy, but he will not think that the Japanese are fools and will be willing to be a dog. If you wait for the day when the Japanese wake up, you will inevitably bite back.
"Since it's a dog that bites, and the heartfelt question is still to be tested. You can't expect it not to want you, and if there is a guide of interest, it is not surprising that such a mad dog will bite its owner. But since I have the confidence to be its owner, I am sure that I will be able to contain it in time. Before it opens its fangs at me, I'll knock it straight at me with a blow. Chen Shao said confidently. He did more work with the Japanese than with the Germans, taking into account all aspects.
"Since Your Majesty has thought it through, then I don't need to worry too much about this. However, Your Majesty, I learned from this visit to Japan that Japan is stepping up the construction of warships, especially capital ships. And the tonnage is huge, I've seen some of the models, they look powerful, and I think we have to pay attention to that. ”
