Chapter 461: The League of Nations is again going to mediate

After learning that the Chinese army had captured a Japanese wing flag, Qiao Yu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to send this military flag to Beijing overnight by plane, and was able to capture a Japanese wing flag, even if it was placed in the museum, it was a commendable thing.

The flag of the 11th Infantry Wing, stained with blood and gunpowder, was placed in the large conference room of the presidential residence, and the Chinese military and political dignitaries sat in a circle, each with a happy smile on their faces.

Among the people, when Han Yong saw this military flag, he felt very different from others, he had participated in the First Sino-Japanese War, and the Japanese had done it with real swords and guns, and he had seen this symbol of the Japanese army on the battlefield, but they were losers back then, and they could only flee from afar.

Now the feng shui turns around, China has become the victorious side, and the supreme United Wing Flag of Japan has fallen into the hands of the Chinese, history has eyes, retribution cycle, Han Yong, an iron-clad man, can't help but tears, but although the tears continue, but the face is full of big smiles!

Seeing Han Yong's child-like expression, everyone didn't think it was funny, on the contrary, they still sighed with emotion, it was not easy for China to come to this point, just ten years ago, China was still a public colony of the great powers, national sovereignty was aside, foreign armies were everywhere on the land, and the country's fortunes were declining to the extreme.

At that time, all Chinese, including the political elite, also showed an attitude of looking up to foreign countries, whether it was the West or the East, it was an existence that needed to be looked upon, and the gap between the two sides was even difficult to understand, and a considerable number of Chinese were infected with inferiority complexes, and did not dare to believe that China could defeat a great power.

In the former Qing Dynasty, the Chinese had a sense of fear of foreign powers, first blindly xenophobic, and then admired foreigners, and this sentiment continued to ferment, and it became a servile and servile knee. Self-contempt. Everything is good in foreign countries, everything is rotten in China, and even the moon outside is rounder than China, and this sentiment is also very normal in an era where there is almost no hope of catching up.

The best way to eliminate this cowardice is to use the means of war to bring down all the so-called powers and trample them under their feet. Only then can the morale of the people be reinvigorated and the self-esteem that has been lost for a long time can be regained.

China's series of border wars actually have the meaning of boosting the morale of the people, these things are very empty to say, but they do exist, only by abandoning the ideological burden can we really stride forward on the world.

However, this kind of humility and cowardice is not so easy to get rid of, and it has been developed in China for decades in later generations. It has become the second largest economy, and this sentiment is also deep-rooted, especially in the academic circles, and many people in the press have an astonishing masochistic tendency, not only can not see outsiders clearly, but also cannot see themselves clearly, and they are picking their noses and eyes at everything in China, but groveling to foreign countries. Full of minions. Living in the twenty-first world, but thinking is still stuck in the nineteenth century. These people are also known as the biggest ugly people in the world!

The starting point of this ugly national sentiment is the declining national fortune of China that has continued from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, how to regain national self-confidence is not an easy thing, the simplest and most effective way is war, defeat the opponent on the battlefield, there are bloody facts that prove that Chinese stronger than foreign countries.

As long as the people can regain the consciousness of the people as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the government can also regain the prestige of the monarchy in East Asia for 2,000 years, this kind of masochistic sentiment will naturally disappear, and this defeat of Japan will be of immeasurable value to China, not only in terms of gains and losses, but also in a change in spirit.

Japan defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese War, although it suffered heavy losses, but the Japanese proved that the yellow race could defeat the white race and snatched the ID card of the great powers.

Only by changing people's hearts and eliminating the burden of history can we truly move towards a new era, so the Sino-Japanese war came at the right time, China defeated the Japanese in all aspects, and proved to the world and to itself that China is a well-deserved power.

"President, I think this military flag should be exhibited throughout the country, so that all the people can see it, the great powers have bullied the Chinese for so many years, and everyone has a resentment in their hearts, only by letting everyone be smooth, can we get rid of the burden of history, without baggage, can we travel lightly!"

Yang Du proposed with a smile, for this suggestion, many people nodded in agreement, this is indeed a good idea, but Wang Yongjiang said on the side: "I think it's a little early, after all, we haven't completely defeated the Japanese, and when we win a big victory, wouldn't it be better to take these things out!" ”

Wang Yongjiang has something to say, in fact, everyone understands what he means, after all, he didn't win in the end, if he fails, wouldn't it be a joke to take it out and exhibit it in a hurry!

Qiao Yu also nodded on the side, but he didn't think that China might be defeated again, but Qiao Yu felt that this action should be bigger, only one military flag was not enough, and it was best to add other more weighty evidence, such as in the Battle of the Ryukyus, China completely destroyed the battleship Kaga, which was Japan's largest and most powerful battleship, and sank this warship, which is undoubtedly the best proof of China's achievements.

Therefore, the Chinese government is ready to start salvaging the Kaga and then converting it into a maritime museum, as for the anchor and other items are also the best proof, just to be able to tour the country, in addition, Taiwan has not yet taken down, there are some extremely valuable things that need to be taken back to China, it is better to wait until the day of complete victory in the war, and have a grand carnival, so that all the people can feel comfortable.

"The thing to celebrate is to wait until we completely win the war against Japan, we are still a long way from winning the war against the Japanese, I suggest that the navy and the army should strengthen their offensive, tighten the encirclement of Japan, especially after getting Okinawa, we must build this place into our naval base, and the submarine force should let go of the attack on Japan's home routes, especially the routes between Japan and Korea, and we must focus on taking care of them, sinking Japanese ships as much as possible, and aircraft carriers should also be prepared. Always ready to attack the Japanese Combined Fleet! ”

Qiao Yu talked about the next operational concept. Among them, the naval forces are still the main force, especially the submarine forces, and the burden is very heavy, and several army generals suddenly have some opinions; China is a country with a very vast land area, and its land borders are very complicated, and the army has the heaviest tasks, and it is also the undoubted boss among the three armed forces. However, in this attack on Japan, except for the army to show off in Korea, the rest of the army is performing by the navy, and the army has been reduced to a supporting role, and everyone has some ideas.

Xu Shuzheng was the first to ask: "President, I thought that South Korea was ripe. The army can be taken down as long as it goes through, and now that the weather is getting warmer and warmer, the battle in the Far East can also be carried out. In this way, all of Japan's overseas colonies were stripped away. It can be said that Japan, the island country, has been completely removed from the list of foreign powers, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

After Xu Shuzheng finished speaking. Some of the army generals present nodded frequently, opening up the territory and expanding the territory has always been the most important achievement, which general is not eager to make meritorious contributions, such as Wang Zanxu, Pan Wenhua, Liu Yunhong, Su Ding and others are all from this point of view, looking at their posture seems to be able to sweep Japan immediately.

Jiang Baili spoke at this time, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have the confidence to carry out a landing operation against Japan?" What price do you think China will have to pay to completely occupy the Japanese archipelago? ”

The gap between strategists and tacticians is reflected here, ordinary people can only see the immediate benefits, but the decision-maker of a great power must see two, three, or even further moves, and only then can he not make mistakes.

If the Japanese are completely driven out of the mainland now, it will be very pleasant, but the war between China and Japan cannot be stopped, and if China wants to completely defeat the Japanese, it can only land on the four islands, and if it lands on one Okinawa, China will consume a lot of supplies, and the ammunition depots will almost be empty.

This is also because of the ground-penetrating bomb, if you want to attack the Japanese mainland, the materials that need to be consumed are absolutely unbearable for China, and even if China can win, it will exhaust its own strength, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Jiang Baili saw this, so when formulating the strategic plan, he only suggested that China occupy the northern part of Korea, and at this time Wu Tong also spoke, "The question of the chief of staff is very acute, but it is also a fact, in order to cope with this year's war, we have invested more than three-fifty percent of the budget into the war, which has seriously affected economic construction, and we have no strength to land in Japan at all, so it is not realistic to defeat the Japanese by relying on the army, and the great powers will not allow a new hegemon to appear in East Asia, I'm afraid that if we attack the Japanese mainland, an anti-Chinese coalition will appear! ”

Wu Tong also pointed out another concern, that is, the attitude of the great powers, the European and American powers may be able to allow a Japanese island country to become a great power, but for a country like China, it will definitely not be easy to let go, you must know that Europe and the United States have actually formed an alliance to limit the rising countries, if China completely abolish Japan at this time, then Britain, France, the United States and other countries will definitely take action against China.

In this way, China's international situation will become very bad, will bring great inconvenience to economic development, is being discussed, Foreign Minister Gu Weijun suddenly walked in, sent a document to Qiao Yu's hands, this document is Britain and France in the name of the League of Nations sent a diplomatic note, at this time Japan is still a permanent member of the League of Nations, is the vested interests after the war, now China and Japan at war, but also a challenge to the post-war international order, Britain and France can not help but come out.

Subsequently, the United States also sent a similar note, demanding that China and Japan end the war that has brought great disasters to the people of the two countries as soon as possible and restore world peace and tranquility!

The document is written with flowers, but the core meaning is that China can no longer attack Japan, this is already the bottom line of the powers, if it is exceeded, wait for the joint sanctions of the powers!

Qiao Yu looked at it again and again, and then said to everyone: "What the British and Americans said is also reasonable, but now Japan is probably not willing to accept peace talks, we should also increase our chips and let the Japanese bleed again!" (To be continued.) )
