Although Chongren is smart, after all, he is only a thirteen-year-old boy, and he was speechless at the moment, especially what Hu Weidong said is true, which further enhances the persuasiveness.

And then Hu Weidong explained the changes that are quietly taking place in China, "The crimes you committed for the Japanese invasion of China show that you still have a basic conscience, which is very good, but objectively, we should really thank you for your aggression, because it is your invasion of China that has forced the Chinese people to have no way out, so that we can take this opportunity to mobilize and unite the people more quickly, and continue to sharpen and grow in the battle against the invading army, and when we drive the invading army out of China in the future, A strong people's army has also grown up to defend the nascent China. If there is no Japanese invasion, it is very likely that our new army will have to face the overwhelming power of the Western powers when it is not strong enough."

Hu Weidong's "thanks" made Chongren ashamed, but the details of Hu Weidong's words made him secretly pay attention, and in the course of his subsequent many visits to the base areas, Chongren personally experienced the root cause of the strength of the people's army, "This is a new type of army that has never been seen before in human history, and it is not just 'strict military discipline and no offense in autumn.'" That's it, it should be said that it is 'military and civilian integration'. Because the army is the people's army, they will never invade the people, because the people are the people of the army, so even if they die, they will cover those wounded soldiers, such an army, such a people, even if the imperial army is as well-trained and disciplined as I have seen in the country, it will not win at all."

If China is a small country, that's fine. Although Chongren could not accept it in conscience, if analyzed objectively, as long as Japan killed all the people, it could conquer China. But there are four or five billion people in China, and that's terrible. The poor and backward rural areas in the base areas can maintain a ratio of 1:50 or even higher to the soldiers, and the army is full of cohesion and is deeply supported by the people, let alone those places with a higher degree of modernization. If all of China fell into the hands of the Red Party, they could easily mobilize a fearsome army of tens of millions and very strong fighting power. Japan simply could not win this war

Strictly speaking, the historical Takahito was not an absolute pacifist (Note 1), but after his own investigation realized that the war of aggression against China had no hope of victory, it would drag Japan into the abyss. He quickly became an anti-war activist, and he was never anti-war (or for humanitarian reasons), but rationally believed that being hostile to China was not good for Japan, and that peaceful coexistence with China was better for Japan, or for the future of the Japanese people. Hu Weidong, who knew this person very well because he was quite curious about this person, naturally knew this. But he didn't care, because pure anti-war activists can easily be defeated in the face of harsh reality, and only more intelligent and rational realists can achieve lasting peace

Therefore, when Hu Weidong talked to Chongren, he also gave priority to the interests and disadvantages, "Chongren, what do you think Japan lacks the most?" ”

Due to his long-term militaristic education, although Chongren hated the inhumane acts of the war, his consciousness of aggression and expansion still lingered, and he immediately subconsciously replied, "Resources and land." As soon as the words came out, I realized that something was wrong. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Well, even if it is resources and territory, do you think that Japan's invasion of China will be able to obtain these?" , Hu Weidong sneered, "China seems to be a big country. However, the population is very dense, and there are too many unusable wastelands such as Shishan and Gobi, and the cultivated land is less than one-tenth of the total area. You should understand that at the same time as Japan occupied the Chinese lands. It was also a heavy burden to have to take in China's huge population, which not only needed to eat, but was also hostile to Japan. Therefore, even if you occupy China, the life of the Japanese will not be improved in any way, not to mention that your aggression is doomed to failure! As for enslaving the Chinese as cheap labor? Even if it really succeeds, it will only benefit Japan's warlords and big capitalists, for ordinary Japanese, this will affect their employment If Japan's decision-makers are smart enough, they should not entangle with us, but should open up to those resource-rich but sparsely populated areas, such as Nanyang and Australia, in fact, you Japanese just think that we Chinese are easy to bully, and we are afraid of Western powers in our bones, so' Now I find that this persimmon is not so soft, but I don't want to admit it because of my face, and as a result, hundreds of thousands of Japanese young people died in China senselessly"...,

Chongren's face turned red after hearing this, but he couldn't refute it, as a Japanese, of course, he knew the inferior nature of the Japanese nation of "fear of the strong and bullying the weak", and a large part of the Japanese showed admiration for the foreign in front of the Western Caucasian race made him even more disgusted

"In fact, our East Asian race is not only inferior to the Caucasians in the West, but can even be said to be more excellent, whether it is the average IQ, or the hard-working and brave spirit, but now China, including Japan, the degree of industrialization is relatively low, there is still a gap in national strength, and the Western powers, especially Britain and France, are not as strong as you think, they have long been the sunset in the west, and now they are just relying on the afterglow to scare people," Hu Weidong said with deep meaning.

Although Chongren did not answer, the strong confidence that Hu Weidong had when he said this was deeply imprinted in his heart, so that when he heard the shocking news later, he was not very surprised

Although Hu Weidong attached great importance to Chongren, he didn't have so much time to spend on this kid, so when Chongren visited the Yimeng Mountains, he was immediately sent to Kang Da

Note 1: Historically, what he told 386daoqian was "the crimes committed by the Japanese army during the invasion of China" rather than the "Japanese invasion of China" itself (but it is not that he thinks Japan should invade China, in fact, in Japan's culture, which is closer to the West than China, aggression has never been a "crime", they will only say that the invasion of China is wrong, because the gains outweigh the losses and the defeat is inevitable, but they will never say that the aggression itself is a crime. But it's much better than those bastards who deny historical facts and refuse to do so (your support is my biggest motivation.) )
