Chapter 224 Sino-Japanese Alliance?
5 Li Huamei asked herself: "What is the biggest problem in China now? Over the past 2,000 years, one of the consequences of every large-scale dynastic change in China's history has been a massive shift in the total population. After decades of war and turmoil, when the new dynasty was established, the total population was often only half of the previous dynasty, a third or even less, and it was not surprising that in some places where wars and wars were repeated, the local population did not exist at all. ”
"That's true."
As a neighbor with China, Japan is the country that knows the history of China best, and as soon as Li Huamei's words came out, it immediately aroused the approval of the three people in the room.
"In China, there are two main reasons for the change of dynasty, one is that a large number of land has been annexed, which has caused social conflicts, and the second is that after the Taiping Hundred Years, the population has skyrocketed, and the output of land is not enough to support the old population - this is the topic of Malthus's "Theory of Population" proposed by Malthus in England. But in this era, the change of dynasty in China is much smoother than in history. After the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1910 and the establishment of a new dynasty in 1937, China lost very little population in the process."
When she said this, Li Huamei stopped, leaving time for the three Chongren to think, and the three of Chongren all had thoughtful expressions on their faces at this time
Half a minute later, Li Huamei continued: "I have watched a lot of news about China this month, and the founders of New China, the CCP, are also known as temporary heroes. In the next decade or so, the country will have a period of earth-shaking growth. The rise of national strength and national strength. This means that the national fertility rate will rise and the mortality rate will fall, and in the next 20 years, China will have a period of rapid population expansion. ”
Li Huamei glanced at Emperor Chongren, and then said, "The current China is 450 million people. ”
Yoshida corrected: "This year, the CCP has just released the census number, which is 460 million, but if you add the population of Manchukuo, it has received 500 million people. ”
"Yes, 500 million people! Extrapolating the past at the rate at which a couple generally had five children in their lifetime, you can calculate China twenty years from now. How horrific the population would swell. Is it 600 million, 700 million, 800 million, or a billion. Or even more? ”
Li Huamei was quoted a number. Chongren is also good. Yamamoto fifty-six, his body trembled slightly when he heard it.
"The current CCP, when it came to power. It is already necessary to find a new living space for the population that has exploded in 20 years. Population pressure, food output, this is a very simple mathematical problem, no one can avoid it. ”
In fact, after a country enters the era of industrialization, the fertility rate will decline strictly. Even in China, before the implementation of the mandatory one-child system in 1978, the fertility index of the whole country had fallen to about 2.2 to 2.3, and for a country to maintain a stable population, the fertility rate should be maintained at about 2.1, which is very close to the stable value. However, Li Huamei and the emperor said this, they just didn't have a good heart, of course she wouldn't explain these things to the emperor.
Emperor Chonghito said: "You mean that after the founding of the Communist Party of China, it will also take advantage of this world war opportunity to expand outward?" ”
"They don't have a choice. For a China with a population base of 500 million, they have an endless supply of troops, and the loss of human lives in the war is a disaster for other countries, but for a China with too many people, perhaps this is a good thing to reduce the population. Manchuria is an important granary for China, and how can those people of the CCP, in order to feed the 500 million people in the country, tolerate this granary falling into the hands of the empire? ”
Chongren said dejectedly: "In other words, China will definitely attack Manchuria." ”
"Yes! They have nearly 500 million people, and they are under pressure to feed those 500 million! They can afford to die, and they are willing to die here, so the empire should not have too many illusions about keeping Manchuria. ”
The so-called in the heart, so there is in the eyes. In front of Li Huamei's eyes, the three Japanese devils in front of her are all people who have in their hearts and like to think in the dark side of human nature. Before World War II, the upper echelons of Japan always regarded the soldiers at the bottom as cannon fodder. In their view, the CCP top brass on the other side must think in the same way as them. At this point, Li Huamei secretly guided the thoughts of the three emperors, making them more and more afraid the more they thought about it.
"Before you came, I asked Yamamoto-kun, and he said that in 1936, the exchange ratio of losses between the Imperial Army and the Chinese Communist Army in the Chinese War was about one to three. Let's not talk about whether this number is fraudulent or not, even if it is a one-to-three exchange ratio, can the empire consume more than the CCP? ”
Chongren shook his head with a wry smile.
Yamato Nadeshiko, played by Li Huamei, looked at the sad Yamamoto Fifty-six and Yoshida Zengo, and suddenly smiled: "Fortunately, the two people here are the two of the Navy, if it was someone from the army here, probably they would have flipped the table just now and scolded me for being a demon girl, right?" ”
Yamamoto's eyes lit up and asked, "It turns out that you support the southward expansion policy. ”
Li Huamei did not answer him directly, but continued: "In fact, not to mention the Chinese, even the empire itself, we are not facing population and land pressure. If it had not been for the acquisition of Manchukuo's land, the current empire would also be facing the crisis of not being able to self-sufficiency in food. That's why Manchuria was so important to the empire, and this is the key to the irreconcilable contradictions between the empire and China. ”
Regarding Japan's attitude, Lin Han's view is that only dead Japanese are good Japan. In contrast, Li Huamei, who inherited Lin Han's justice, is not so extreme. However, the top leader of the CCP still wants to lead Japan to the road of socialist revolution.
Japan's problems are, in essence, problems of strict differentiation between the rich and the poor and uneven distribution of resources. However, Li Huamei has just "descended" on Japan, and it is easy for the other party to have a feeling of "how can this god be a communist?" when she talks to the emperor about the redistribution of social resources and the like.
For Japan, Li Huamei is also good. Lin Han or not, both of them believe that the most favorable situation for China is for China and Japan to unite, abandon prejudices, jointly resist the British and American ghosts, and liberate (colonize) all of Asia.
The second world will break out in two years at most, and for the emerging China, this is the last opportunity to expand its territory and fight for more living space for its people before the arrival of the nuclear era. But China is still too weak at this time. There is only a limit to what can be eaten. If China and Japan cease to confront each other. The two sides joined forces to raise their knives and forks against Britain in this feast, which was a win-win outcome for both sides.
As for the question of how Japan became strong after this feast, it was not a problem in Linhan's view - compared to the American giant crouching on China's eastern island chain. What's so terrible about a fat Japan? At present, however, Japan is falling like this. In case one day they "figured it out" and were willing to be the little brother lackeys of the United States. That's the biggest headache.
Li Huamei came to Japan to play the role of a "god", although she didn't have a good intention, but she really held it after recovering Northeast Taiwan. The goal of building a real "Sino-Japanese alliance" came.
However, due to the current situation of strict antagonism of interests between China and Japan, the so-called "Sino-Japanese alliance" is simply inconceivable. But everything has a beginning, and it's always useful to do your homework beforehand. In addition, there is another purpose: to guide the direction of Japan's domestic military spending.
It is simply impossible to expect the Japanese to take the initiative to return Northeast China and Taiwan "peacefully" with great foresight. If the Northeast is to be liberated, China and Japan must fight another war. It is not a question of the will of one or two leaders, but the fact that it is simply impossible for Japan as a whole to accept the "peaceful" abandonment of the interests of the Tohoku. Even if the emperor or the Japanese military were collectively brainwashed by the halo, it would be impossible to do so, because the will of the middle and lower classes of Japan would not allow them to do so. Whoever does this will be a national thief and will be punished by heaven, even the emperor.
At present, from top to bottom, Japan is desperate to defend the northeast, and a large amount of military spending is tilted towards the army. If we can let the Japanese upper echelons see the bright prospects of "southward expansion" and realize in their hearts that the mainland policy has gone bankrupt. In the future, when the People's Liberation Army liberates Northeast China, the Japanese Army's will to fight and the material support it can receive will be greatly reduced. Anyway, don't spend money to fool people, not to mention that Li Huamei's words are not fooling, but the truth, and it is a real "yang conspiracy".
Faced with Yamamoto Fifty-six's questioning, Li Huamei did not answer directly, but picked up the globe and pulled it to the side of Asia and Asia.
"Let's move the conversation away from Manchuria first, let's calculate what will happen in Asia after the war in Europe begins."
The southward advance is the view of the navy, and when it comes to the southward advance, Yamamoto Isoroku and Yoshida Zengo are both interested. After Li Huamei opened the "skylight" in this regard, she deliberately did not speak, and no two people played.
In the past two years, whether it is Isoroku Yamamoto or Zengo Yoshida, and in fact, the majority of the entire Japanese upper strata have realized in their hearts that the mainland policy is facing the crisis of total bankruptcy and that Japan's foreign policy must be reversed.
However, the transformation of a country's foreign policy involves too many interests in the middle, and the process is too painful. Where is it possible for Japan to voluntarily give up its huge interests in Northeast China? Sticking to the lifeline of Manchurian Mongolia is already an untouchable red line in Japan, and even the emperor does not dare to shout out this topic lightly. The core content of the "southward expansion" policy was devised by some people in Japan in order to avoid the red line of Manchuria, and its core content was nothing more than taking advantage of the crisis of the European war and when Britain and France were unable to look eastward, they entered the area and seized the colonies of Britain and France to find a substitute for "Manchukuo" for Japan.
However, Japan is going southward, and there is a presence in the middle that cannot be ignored: the United States.
