Chapter 251: The Captive Sent to the Door
Whether it is air defense or the other side of the sea, the firepower of this type of destroyer has been greatly strengthened, and although the torpedoes have been reduced, the carrying capacity of 6 torpedo tubes and 12 torpedoes is enough in actual combat.
For the 15th Army, which did not even have a gunboat before, even a destroyer seemed to be invaluable, but how to keep them made Hu Weidong quite big. At this moment, Japan's Prince Takahito Mikasamiya, who did not know the truth about the Qingdao Mutiny, and his teacher Masanobu Tsuji, landed at the Qingdao Army Airfield on a DC-3 passenger plane purchased from the United States
Although the crime was not as big as in history, but it was enough to die several times, Masanobu Tsuji was naturally put on trial and subsequently executed, but Hu Weidong was not carried away by hatred for Chongren, a teenager who would not turn thirteen years old until a few months. And as Hu Weidong expected, although Masanobu Tsuji was brutal in his heart, he never showed this side in front of his disciple Chongren, after all, he also knew that most people could not accept his set of animal theories at all, and the status of the prince was noble, in case he was scared out of trouble, Masanobu Tsuji could not afford to be guilty, at least until he became an adult and his psychological endurance was enhanced. Because of this, the young Takahito still thought that his teacher was kind-hearted, so when Tsuji Masanobu was pointed out in the public trial for those crimes that dehumanized, he refused to believe it at first, saying that the Red Party was deliberately slandering, and he even said in public that the "imperial army entered China" to help the Chinese escape the slavery of the Western white colonists, and was almost killed on the spot by the angry masses
Hu Weidong couldn't help but be a little speechless about this. But it is precisely because he has been kept in the dark since he was a child, this teenager came to China in 1943 (during which this guy made up and sneaked into the base behind the enemy line to investigate for a period of time, otherwise I don't know how long he would have been deceived. After seeing with his own eyes the crimes of the Japanese army. He "suddenly" (after returning from the base area, he completely changed his position) and turned into an anti-war person, not only publicly preaching on many occasions that "the Red Party will win, and Japan will lose." As a result, some of the articles he wrote were banned in Japan for a long time, and because troops were strictly forbidden to disturb the people everywhere he went, he made him the most hated prince of the Japanese officers and soldiers, and he was less than 20 years old in the later stage of the war and launched a coup d'état to try to seize military power to end the war, if Japan did not surrender soon, it is really hard to say what would have happened to him. If you don't have a chance, you won't have a chance to become the longest-lived member of the imperial family in Japanese history (you are not dead yet, you are all 108 years old).
Although Hu Weidong was not prepared to kill the only member of the Japanese imperial family in history who openly expressed his goodwill to Japan's invasion of China and to China everywhere, this teenager now believes that the Red Party is fabricating charges and slandering Tsuji Masanobu, and it is really difficult for Hu Weidong to convince him to believe in himself for a while. Fortunately, Masanobu Tsuji is also a single. He never thought that there was anything wrong with his set of animal theories, but now he knew that he would not escape death, so he simply educated his disciples on the spot, which saved Hu Weidong a lot of lips and tongues. But how could Chongren, who is kind-natured and not yet thirteen years old, accept such a fallacy? After realizing that the teacher he had always loved was actually a demon in human skin, the spirit of the young Takahito almost collapsed. After all, he is not the 18-year-old young man who has already started a family in 1943
However, after all, Chongren was born in the royal family, and it is impossible to be ignorant of those things that are deceived by me, and he was deceived by Masanobu Tsuji before just because of the common superstition of the young man for the teacher. In addition, he has been precocious since he was a child, and his psychological endurance is much stronger than that of teenagers of the same age. After crying for an afternoon, when Hu Weidong saw him again. At least the teenager's expression has returned to normal...,
The value of Chongren, who may have been the only "pro-China faction" among the Japanese imperial family before and after World War II, cannot be overestimated, and the stronger his ability, the greater the benefits he could seek for China after the war, but if he was too strong, it was likely to bring danger, after all, power was enough to change people's hearts. Therefore, for Chongren, Hu Weidong on the one hand guides and even cultivates his ability, and on the other hand, he seizes every opportunity to undermine his self-confidence, to be precise, his self-confidence as a Japanese in the face of the Chinese. There are many similar precedents in history, and there were so many strange people in China at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, why only Taizu successfully led the Chinese to win national independence? Although Hu Weidong respected that great man, he would not deify him, and the reason why others could not do it was because those people lost their self-confidence in front of foreigners, and no matter how strong their ability was, they could only be in the nest, while Taizu always believed that Chinese were no worse than foreigners, which was the most fundamental gap between them
If Chongren wants to convince Chongren that the Chinese are better than the Japanese, since there is no such strong example as resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, even Hu Weidong, who is feared by the Japanese as the "big snake of the eight chaos", can only find another way, first saying that "after the invasion of Western colonizers in Asia, the small country of Japan rose against the trend to become a great power, while China has such a land and population, but it has sunk to this day?" This question is clear, in fact, this is also the topic that the Japanese like to use to attack the self-confidence of the Chinese
"The reason why China was bullied by the Western powers, while Japan took the opportunity to rise, is because the West is afraid of China, and so many Western countries, which are already very powerful, have not changed their attitude towards China, that is, to carve up and suppress them, and resolutely refuse to give us a chance for rejuvenation." Hu Weidong sneered, "Japan is the opposite, because you are too poor and weak to attract the greed of Westerners on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are not worried that Japan will become a threat to them." In fact, Japan's rise was also strongly supported by the Western powers, especially the British, whose aim was precisely to use Japan to contain China. It can be said that it is precisely because of China that Japan has the opportunity to rise as a great power, in fact, to be able to face the aggression of almost all powerful countries alone, and still be able to hold on to the present without losing the country, which is enough to prove the excellence of the Chinese"
Note 1: "Pro-China faction" refers to foreigners who admire "China" and not just "Chinese civilization", the two seem to be similar, but in fact there is a big difference, during the Republic of China, many "pro-China factions" in Japan were the vanguard of the invasion of China, while "pro-China factions" are different, many of them even advocate that Japan should become a province of China (this is also the main sign to distinguish between "pro-China faction" and "pro-China faction", and another important sign is that the Japanese pro-China faction believes that China and Japan are "the same language and different species", and the "pro-China faction" I think it's "the same kind of text") (you are welcome to come to your support, which is my biggest motivation.) )
