After the defeat of the invasion of China in 1936, Japan's domestic economy has been in a state of decline. Not only did they saddle huge military expenditures and foreign debts, but they also lost all the markets south of the Great Wall of China.

Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national strength has become stronger and stronger day by day, and the process of industrialization has been completed step by step, not only with the help of the east wind of World War I, but also on the premise that it can continue to suck blood like a leech on China. However, after 1936, Japanese forces in China were expelled from all areas south of the Great Wall. All the qiē products produced in Japan were driven out of the Chinese market without pulling one piece.

In 1938, Japan still controlled the three colonies of Northeast China, Taiwan, and Korea. However, under the long-term pressure of Japan, the consumption power of these three colonies has been suppressed to the minimum, and where can they digest the industrial products produced locally. Japan's big chaebol conglomerates, relying on their abundant capital and official background, have eaten the markets in these three places cleanly, while ordinary small and medium-sized enterprises are left to sit back and wait for their lives. In order to tide over the difficult "harsh winter," the Japanese government has had to "return to its old business" and organize a large number of women to go to Nanyang to "export and earn foreign exchange" (in fact, to do the leather and meat business) in order to improve the country's increasingly deteriorating economic situation.

However, Lin Han, who knows the old bottom of the Japanese, will make it so easy for the Japanese to make money easily. At his behest, a film that reflected the tragic life experiences of Japanese geisha in Nanyang, called "Tears of the South Seas", was quickly made. Then it was released in Europe and the United States. Although the box office generally lost money, it was hyped by the media that collected the money. The emerging women's human rights organizations in Europe and the United States came forward to protest and demanded that the British and Dutch governments put an end to the "cruelty to women" carried out by the Japanese government.

Since 1937, every month in Japan, you can hear the news of the bankruptcy of a certain company, and it is not news that the boss commits suicide, or even kills the whole family and then commits suicide. Japan's domestic economy, which had improved as a result of the success of swallowing up Tohoku, deteriorated dramatically due to the disastrous defeat in the war in 1936.

In less than 17 months, from January 1937 to May 1, 1938, there were seven successive cabinet changes in Japan. No cabinet has ever been on the bench for more than three months. In the past, various forces coveted positions such as the prime minister of the cabinet. Now it's all a hot potato, and no one wants to touch it.

Without him, Japan's economy collapsed, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises went bankrupt, and large conglomerates and large enterprises could take the opportunity to merge some small and medium-sized enterprises at a very low cost. But before finding a new sales market. This kind of does not improve the unemployment rate in front of the strict zhòng. Taxes cannot be increased by the state, and even such annexation is more likely to quench the thirst of the dove.

The roots of a qiē lie in "Made in Japan." Nobody cares".

In 1936, the defeated Japan not only lost the Chinese market, but also its traditional export project, the silk industry, was strongly challenged by "nylon" produced in Germany.

Before 1936, Japanese stockings had always been the most popular product among European and American women, but the emergence of chemically synthesized nylon stockings suddenly sent traditional stockings into hell and almost forced Japan's silk production industry to death. Last year alone, Japan's exports of raw silk to foreign countries shrank by 50 percent, and the price of raw silk in the London market fell again and again, but the initiator of this qiē was the nylon products that began to become popular in the international clothing market in 1936, especially the hot sales of nylon stockings.

The first appearance of nylon stockings in the eyes of the public was the end of the "Easter egg" shot after the third ending of "The Legend of King Arthur", thirteen current or "future" Oscar actresses, collectively dressed in sexual (crab) black or white stockings, with Hannah's plagiarized clothing design of later generations, showing off their beautiful legs, among which Hannah, who played King Arthur and wore white nylon stockings, and Katyusha, who played Mordred, and wore black stockings were the most eye-catching and charming.

After the "Arthurian Legend" trilogy was released on the screen, it has long cultivated a large number of loyal female fans. With the release of the film, millions of pairs of nylon stockings were brought to the market while they were being made and stockpiled in warehouses. Compared with traditional silk stockings, nylon stockings have lower cost, better elasticity and better tightness. Coupled with successful marketing efforts, the first batch of five million pairs of nylon stockings were sold out by women all over the world within a few days - in order to sell stockings, even during the war in 1936, Li Huamei once wore a pair of black stockings and stood next to her HE51F fighter plane to take pictures and advertise as an image spokesperson. This incident caused controversy within the CCP, and it was only after Lin Han came out to explain to the CCP leadership the importance of selling nylon stockings to crack down on Japan's silk exports.

Nylon was originally developed in 1935 by the chemist Walter Brown. Walter Carothers randomly tinkered with some metapolymers in DuPont's real room. He discovered that by mixing these metapolymers with a certain percentage of water, he could create strong and resilient fibers. The new fabric, known as "nylon stockings," quickly became a sensation and soon became a must-have for women everywhere – the first four million pairs of nylon stockings sold out within two days. This new miracle fabric even became in short supply, and the birth of nylon crushed the Japanese silk export industry that was rampant at the time.

But in this era of rampant traversers, first a suspected traverser Chinese made out stockings and was later killed. Later, Lin Han also set his eyes on the windfall profits of stockings, and simply shot with Hannah to kill Walter, the inventor of nylon, in advance.

Since 1936, Hannah and Bayer have cooperated in the production of nylon stockings, and the nylon stockings that began to be dumped on a large scale were sold in Europe and the United States at a price of two dollars a pair (this is the historical price), which made more huge profits for the German war planes, and also brought a devastating blow to the Japanese silk industry. (PS: Stockings sold for $2 a pair at their highest before World War II.) The protagonist of a certain book made four billion dollars by selling stockings, and I want to say that there were only two billion people in the world at that time, and I wanted to spit out the ignorance of this author, how many pairs of stockings each person had to buy to make this money)

Today, Japan has lost the war, suffered setbacks in foreign trade, closed down a large number of factories, and has also incurred huge foreign debts for the war. Worse still, the seizure of China's northeast. It is also facing the threat of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) going out of the customs to "regain lost territory" at any time.

Manchuria, Mongolia is the lifeblood of Japan. Wherever it is lost, Japan does not want to lose "Manchukuo". Because the loss of the three northeastern provinces is equivalent to the loss of Korea, and the loss of these two most important places of ointment makes Japan even more hopeless. Neither the navy, which advocated southward expansion, nor the army, which shouted to the death to protect the lifeline of Manchu and Mongolia, did not dare to shout the slogan of abandoning Manchu and Mongolia.

The consequences of this. It is Japan in an extremely difficult economic situation. I still had to grit my teeth and withdraw a large amount of money. A large number of fortresses were built in the vicinity of Jinzhou in case the PLA went to war in the future. For the debt-ridden and financially struggling Japanese government, such an approach is undoubtedly worse.

Due to the large amount of military spending in favor of the Army. The Navy will get even less money. The vicious circle brought about by this was that from 1937 onwards, when Britain and the United States began to build keels and build new warships, the shy Japanese government could not afford to add a new ship to the navy. Not only that, but even the 30,000-ton hydraulic press ordered from Germany was forced to cancel due to lack of money, and this is a machine that the Navy has been coveting for a long time.

Japan made the first payment to Germany in March 1935 for the hydraulic press ordered to build the Yamato, and then due to the China Incident, Japan and Britain invaded China, and Hannah, under the instruction of Lin Han, ordered the severance of commercial ties with Japan under the pretext that Japan's actions had infringed on Germany's interests. After taking the down payment, the hydraulic press that had already started to be manufactured was no longer scheduled to be delivered to Japan on time, although it continued to be manufactured.

By the end of the war in 1936, the hydraulic press had already been built, and the Germans lifted sanctions on Japan, but the Japanese government, which had lost all its gambling capital in China, could no longer come up with the money to pay the final payment. Hannah then took the opportunity to accuse the Japanese of default, hacked their $2 million down payment, and then casually sold the 30,000-ton hydraulic press to China at a "friendly" price.

The current Japanese government is very eager to find another "thigh" to hug in the international community. The British even extended an olive branch and offered Japan a precious low-interest loan to tide over the difficulties, but the British themselves were not having a good time, and they were able to provide "fish" instead of fishing for Japan, an ally. As for the other thigh, the United States, the president of Cactus Ghana is now also staring at the British colonies with glowing eyes, and is considering whether to pull a piece of beef from the "old cow" of the British Empire with a suitable wave of his claws. In their eyes, even a weakened Japan is still a nasty potential "meat grabber", where can it be a "cheering brother".

If we cannot resolve the issue of land hostility with New China and reopen China's commodity market, we will not find a solution to Japan's current domestic crisis.

Even the most brain-dead militarists in Japan today know in their hearts that the bad hostile relations with China cannot continue like this.

Since 1937, the Japanese government has been trying to hold secret negotiations with New China to discuss the issue of resuming trade between the two sides, but it has been touched with dust every time. "Northeast China and Taiwan must be returned to China unconditionally" has always been a major prerequisite for the Chinese communists to agree to the resumption of economic and trade exchanges between the two sides.

In the era of Chang Kaishen, the Japanese government could still secretly sell goods to China through guò smuggling and other means, but in the face of New China, where the regime could go from the top to the end to the village-level units, the smuggling ships that the Japanese wanted to smuggle goods into China have always been a loss-making business in which meat buns and dogs have gone and there is no return of blood. Except for the few remaining spy agents who were exposed in vain, nothing good was gained.

In Chang Kaishen's time, Japan could forcibly open China's doors through cannons to demand "trade", and even demand war reparations, but now the new republic has stepped on the scarred bodies of the Japanese through the 1936 war, proving to the world that this ancient country has been revived. In the war of Tongguò, anyone with even a little knowledge in Japan realized that the country in the west was "bloody" with him. He has woken up like a lion, and he should not be lightly bullied.

"Whether it is swallowing China or encroaching on China, it is just a dream, and it is time to wake up."

It was only after the defeat of the Japanese Army in 1936 after the Olympic offensive and forced to evacuate to the Great Wall that Yamamoto received the last words of his old classmate Momoto Gentake, who had been late for a year and a half. At that time, the former commander of the Third Fleet told his chief of staff, Eijiro Kondo, about this sentence, but was "eaten" by Eijiro Kondo without permission. After the defeat of the war of aggression against China in 1936, Eijiro Kondo, who came to his senses, regretted it and told Yamamoto Isoroku and apologized to him.

Unlike the "middle two" army, which was stacked with heaps, the Japanese navy was relatively open-minded. There are many exchanges with overseas. In contrast to the well-informed army red deer, who still have many people still dreaming of embezzling China or pretending to be asleep and refuse to wake up, those in the Japanese navy who advocate "abandoning the mainland policy" and hold the plan of "going all out to the south" are gradually becoming the mainstream.

At a time when the Japanese government is becoming increasingly desperate. The CCP suddenly relented. It took the initiative to ask Japan for "collusion". Among the invitations proposed by the Chinese side, there are many "China experts" who know China, such as Okamura Ninji. Ishihara and the navy, they even invited the new commander of the Combined Fleet, Yamamoto 56ichi, to go to China by name.

The day after the Japanese side received the Chinese Communists' request for "collusion," the new commander of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, and the former commander, Zengo Yoshida, were holding talks at a ryotei shop near Nagata Town, Tokyo. In three days, at the invitation of the Chinese side, he will follow the Japanese mission on a secret visit to China.

Yamamoto Fifty-six in the chat suddenly asked the guard at the door:

"Young man, how long have you been my guard?"

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, I am your guard on the first day of February this year, and it has been exactly three months until today."

"Three months? Not short. At least much longer than the Prime Minister. ”

After "spitting up" at the young guard, Yamamoto Fifty-six turned around and asked the former commander with a sad face.

"Yoshida-kun, what is the intention of the Chinese side to ask me to go with the team this time?"

"According to the news from our representative at the CCP's office, it is said that the person named Lin Han wants to see you. In addition to you, he also mentioned Ishihara-kun's name. ”

"Ishihara Waner?"

"Yes!"

"What the hell is that Lin Han?"

Yoshida Zengo said: "His origin is very mysterious, Tegaoke has been investigating, but there are no clues." His experience of studying in Europe was "done" as if it were real, and the people of Tegaoke once sent people to Europe to investigate, but they couldn't find any flaws at all. ”

Yamamoto agreed: "With his close relationship with Hitler, if the German government had personally forged these experiences for him, then the people of Tsugaoko would not have been able to find out anything." ”

Yoshida said: "I got news from Tegaoke that the CCP people were able to rise rapidly after 1932 because this person played a huge role in threading the needle between Germany and the CCP. Regarding the origin of this person, the people of Tegaoke provided a very interesting information. ”

Yamamoto Isoroku asked, "What information?" ”

"There are rumors that that Lin Han is not a human at all."

"Not human?"

Yoshida said: "This statement is very popular among the Manchurian students who were sent by him to study in Germany. They privately rumored that he was the reincarnation of Emperor Xuanwu."

Yamamoto Fifty-six shook his head and sneered: "I heard that guy created a Xuanwu Taoist sect by himself and proclaimed himself the sect leader. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the White Lotus Sect, in the history of China, there are many people who play this kind of magic stick method. ”

Yoshida said: "The people of Tegaoke don't believe this statement either, and I don't want to believe it. But when he was 32 years old, you also saw it in the American fighting ring, is that what human power can do? In addition, I remembered an interesting thing. ”

The Navy is a more superstitious branch of the army than the Army, and Yoshida Zengo believes a little bit of this information sent back by the people of the special high-tech department.

Yoshida asked, "Remember the Deutschland?" ”

"The pocket battleship?"

Yoshida said: "On the day he went into the water, a mysterious woman appeared on the mast of the ship, and she appeared twice. ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six shook his head and said, "I heard about this, and the public opinion at that time was that this German had done a successful magic trick of light and shadow. ”

"Maybe that's true."

Yamamoto's face changed.

At this moment, a guard suddenly came hurriedly outside the tatami room where the two were talking, and he patted the paper door and said, "Your Excellency, Commander! ”

"What's the matter?"

The visitor said in a very strange tone: "Something happened outside." ”

A few minutes later, Yoshida Zengo and Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the hundreds of gold bars spread out on the tatami and looked stunned together.

"Who sent this thing?"

"It's a woman, and, and it's a beautiful woman with big boobs, and"

The guard who replied was very young, and he said with a red face and squeak:

"And she seems to be a half-breed, with mostly black hair, but if you look closely, you will see a lot of blonde hair, and her eyes are black and blue, like glass flowers, nay, like black and blue gems."

As he spoke, the guard still had a look of fascination. (To be continued......)
