(Thanks to the book friends for the tip of the command gun!) Thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend Hayashi no Guardian! )
"Uncle Lucas, I must explain it to you, lest you be deceived by those cunning Japanese. The war between China and Japan will definitely be won or lost this time. China will never allow a hostile power to appear in the Far East, so in this war, China will completely deal with Japan. Although, now the focus of the army is in the north, and it is impossible to land in Japan. However, it was necessary for China to do its utmost to disintegrate Japan's war potential before the start of the landing operation against Japan. Japan has 40 million people, and has been poisoned by the spirit of bushido for a long time, and has become a little brainless. Once the squadron lands in Japan, it is obvious that it will be in very big trouble! Therefore, before the start of the war, the squadron needed to completely destroy all industrial facilities in Japan. This is also my order to the Navy. And this time the navy's shelling of the Japanese coast was also a shelling of Japan's industrial facilities. In this process, it is inevitable that civilians will be injured by mistake, which is inevitable in war. As for what happened in Kobe, it was entirely the heavy artillery units of the Japanese Army, hiding in the city and launching an attack on our navy. That's why the Navy launched a counterattack. In this case, it is inevitable that Kobe will be destroyed. In doing so, the Japanese government wants nothing more than to scandalize China in front of the Western people and save Japan. However, I can tell you for sure that such a despicable scheme of the Japanese government is doomed to fail. Even if it is opposed by the whole world, China will use this war to destroy Japan. The hostility of the Western public will not affect China's decision-making. Anyway, now that all countries are enemies of China, time will tell. Germany is an ally of China, and I don't want Germany to be deceived and have our relations affected! Wang Yuze said sincerely. Although there is no good thing for foreign devils, Germany is now needed to contain the British navy in Europe, and China cannot be the enemy of the whole world. So, China needs Germany now.
"If that's the case, then these Japanese people are really hateful. How can an army hide in a civilian area? Isn't this a meat shield for those innocent civilians? Lucas said angrily. He is very unaccustomed to this kind of behavior.
"Uncle Lucas, the Japanese are all brain-dead, they only want to win, and they don't care about the lives of civilians at all. Therefore, this enemy, China must be destroyed. Wang Yuze said firmly.
"So, what does China plan to do with Japan? Kill all the Japanese? Lucas asked.
"Of course it won't be like this, the Chinese are not barbarians. Most Japanese people are not bad, they are just being seduced by those in power. As long as Japan is defeated, and then a pro-Chinese government is formed, plus a period of military occupation of Japan, the Japanese people are indoctrinated. I believe that in the end, the Japanese will definitely change their current misconceptions! Wang Yuze said with a smile. In order to solve Japan's threat to China, China must station troops in Japan, kill all those hawks, and train a large number of Japanese traitors. Of course, there will be a lot of Japanese people who will die in the process. But Wang Yuze doesn't care, even if half of the Japanese die, in his heart, it's just a number, and it doesn't have any other meaning. The Japanese are a very strange nation, afraid of the strong and bullying the weak. After the Americans dropped two atomic bombs on Japan and killed tens of millions of Japanese, didn't the Japanese regard the Americans as their own fathers? Therefore, the more ruthlessly China kills Japan, the more the Japanese will submit to China. By nature, as long as China does not decline, they are the most loyal lackeys.
"If that's the case, it couldn't be better! In the civilized world, it's better not to have too much killing! Lucas agreed. Of course, he is very clear about the relationship between China and Japan. It is also known that China will not appear in the Far East as a hostile Japan. It is inevitable that Japan will be ruined now.
"Well, let's hope that Uncle Lucas will propose to the German side that Germany has been deceived by the Japanese!" Wang Yuze said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I immediately sent a telegram to His Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs explaining to him what had happened. The Germans are not fools and will not be fooled by those Japanese! Lucas said.
"Thank you, Uncle Lucas!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. Britain, France, the United States, and Russia, Wang Yuze is not worried. In any case, these countries are all enemies of Japan, and their governments will certainly add fuel to the fire and scandalize China. No matter how hard China tries, it will be useless. The only way is to defeat them in the war and make them realize China's strength, which is the most practical way. The only thing that Western countries believe in now is interests and strength.
On January 2, Beijing time, France declared war on China under the pretext that China wantonly killed innocent civilians in Japan, and China also declared war on France. As a result, China now faces five enemies.
On that day, the Imperial Daily and other newspapers also reported in detail what happened in Kobe, explained to the people the reason why the Chinese navy opened fire on the city of Kobe, and pointed out that this was a conspiracy by the Japanese to scandalize China internationally. Moreover, Wang Yuze was quoted in the article as asking all Chinese to unite and strive for victory in this war.
The vast majority of the people believed the facts told in the newspapers, and they hated little Japan and those foreign devils even more. In many cities, demonstrations broke out against the Japanese and European powers. Many people have actively donated money to support the Empire's ongoing wars.
Of course, there are also a very small number of people who claim to be elites, especially those old masters who have been poisoned by feudal ideology, and one by one they trumpet the brutality of the empire, saying that 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you', 'warlike will perish', 'the Celestial Empire should subdue people with virtue' and so on. For these people, Wang Yuze will not be soft. Now that China is facing five great powers, it is precisely when it is time to unite and deal with the difficulties together, how can these people be allowed to drag their feet? Major newspapers such as the Imperial Daily have refuted these views, saying that they are misleading the public and disturbing the morale of the military. Even some radical newspapers scolded these people for betraying the country and being lackeys of foreigners.
When a fake foreign devil was directly killed by the angry people when he was slandering the empire, attacks on these fake foreign devils broke out all over the country, and the imperial government did not punish these righteous and brave people. Of course, if someone wants to fish in troubled waters, they are also killing themselves. For a while, these humble gentlemen who were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality became rats crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat them, and they no longer dared to show their faces openly.
At the same time, the Imperial Government also implemented a number of measures to strengthen the patriotic education of the people, strengthen their national self-esteem and self-confidence, and cultivate their loyalty and patriotism. The Interior and Homeland Security departments have also dealt with those who take advantage of the rumors to spread rumors, many of whom are foreign spies who want to cause chaos in China and weaken China's war power. In order to achieve the goal of defeating China on the battlefield. When this news leaked out, it naturally aroused the indignation of the people of the whole country.
"From now on, it is necessary to strengthen patriotic education among the people. In every issue of the Imperial Daily, it is necessary to report on the victory of the imperial ** team, or the crimes committed by Japan and the Western powers in China, so as to educate the people and make them more vigilant, so as not to be deceived by foreign devils! At the cabinet meeting that evening, Wang Yuze talked about this after listening to the cabinet's report on various tasks.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Ministry of the Interior will strengthen the monitoring of speech in this regard, and will not let foreigners exploit loopholes!" Minister of the Interior Lu Zhengxiang hurriedly said.
"Hmmm! The government should step up propaganda and let the broad masses of the people know that the good life they have now is brought about by the imperial government. The foreigners couldn't see that everyone was living a good life, so they launched this war against the empire, and now it has reached the most critical moment for the empire, and the empire needs the people of the whole country to work together to help the empire survive this difficulty! Wang Yuze said.
"Your Majesty, the people of the empire, are all simple. Everyone is very grateful to the Imperial Government. Among the people, many people worship the first emperor and His Majesty as gods. As long as His Majesty says a word, let everyone die, and everyone will not frown! Prime Minister Yang Hua said. Overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, unifying China, reforming the society in the western Sichuan model, defeating the foreign powers, etc., these achievements made the people worship Wang Yuze very much, and they simply regarded him as a god.
Wang Yuze nodded, although the people deified him, which made him feel a little bad. But I have to say that this feeling is indeed very fascinating.
"Your Majesty, now that Westerners regard us as villains, devils, will this be very detrimental to the Empire's next strategy!" Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang said with some concern.
"As long as the Empire can win this battle, there will be no problems. Westerners worship the powerful more than we do. After winning this battle, China will truly rise. Westerners can only accept China too! Wang Yuze said affirmatively. That's why he insisted on fighting this battle. Of course, Britain, France, the United States, and Russia will not do their best to fight China, as long as they suffer huge losses, they will retreat. If these countries do their best, China will really have a hard time coping.
