"Sir Luo, your complexion has recovered well lately. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Thanks to Mr. Chen's medical skills, Chinese medicine is really amazing, and I feel much better recently."

"Hmm!" Chen Kan nodded slightly, and accepted his compliment: "This is just a gesture, and I also want to thank Sir Luo for taking in the Chinese who came to Hong Kong." ”

Chen Kan's patient is called Luo Fuguo, the current governor of Hong Kong, as for why there is a Chinese name, it is not because this person is Chinese, he is an authentic British, just to let Hong Kong people have a sense of intimacy, and expect Hong Kong Chinese to know and accept British rule, so the Hong Kong governor has a Chinese name.

In the real world history, Atcoco also provided a lot of help to China's anti-Japanese resistance, because allowing weapons to enter China from Hong Kong has also caused many protests from Japan to support the anti-Japanese demonstrations and donations of the Hong Kong people.

Later, the passage into China was cut off, he began to form an army, attract foreign aid through a series of means to guard against Japan, on the eve of the outbreak of the war, Hong Kong has 10,000 troops, but unfortunately Hong Kong has no danger to defend, was given up by Qiu Fatzi, after the real world was cut off from the waterway, it was quickly occupied by Japan.

However, due to physical reasons, Luo Fuguo resigned a few months before the outbreak of the war and left Hong Kong, which can be regarded as escaping, did not become a prisoner, and finally died of illness.

However, in this plane, Hong Kong has become a neutral city, these things should not happen, he is still relatively friendly to China, so Chen Kan uses traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate his body, hoping that he can sit in this position for a few more years, and it is best to end the war.

With such a good relationship and good vision, Chen Kan can do things relatively easily, especially he also took in Chinese who fled to Hong Kong because of the war, which made Chen Kan feel good about him.

Because of the war, a large number of Chinese people fled to Hong Kong, and the population of Hong Kong increased by 50% in less than a year, which is very terrible.

"Sir Luo, what do you think about this war between Japan and China?" Chen Kan asked.

"Japan will be defeated!" Luo Fuguo said without hesitation.

"Oh, why?" Chen Kan asked curiously, to be honest, the whole world is generally not optimistic about China's form now, because the gap between the two sides is too big, and Luo Fuguo is so confident that Chen Kan is very curious.

"Does Mr. Chen know about the Hundred Years' War?" Luo Fuguo asked rhetorically.

"Of course." Chen Kan nodded, the Hundred Years War was a war between England and France from 1337 to 1453, and it was also the longest war in the world, which lasted intermittently for 116 years, and finally ended in a French victory.

"The defeat of the Hundred Years' War, the British Empire learned the lessons of defeat and abandoned the continental policy, which led to today's glory, but Japan did the opposite and implemented the continental policy, which was the biggest failure." Luo Fuguo said.

"Yes, strategically, Japan did make a very unsuccessful decision, it could have become a second British, but as a Chinese, I'm glad it didn't." Chen Kan said with a smile.

"Haha."

Chen Kan expressed his admiration for Luo Fuguo's ability to start from the history of his own country to speculate on the outcome of Japan's defeat in the end, and what the Chinese call "learning from history" is nothing more than that.

Chen Kan looked at it from the standpoint of a prophet, comparing the Hundred Years War between Britain and France and the Sino-Japanese War, there were indeed many similarities, Britain was like Japan now, and France was like China now.

The Hundred Years' War awakened the French nation and completed the unification of the nation, and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression also awakened the Chinese nation and completed the unification of the nation.

Before the Sino-Japanese War, most people in China did not have the so-called "national consciousness," and now the slogans we see on television, novels, and textbooks such as patriotism and rejuvenation of China in modern times are actually just slogans of readers and upper-class people.

At that time, ordinary people did not have such ideas at all, and the general Chinese did not have the so-called national consciousness, what is the difference between this national consciousness and whether it is or not?

For example, the Qing Dynasty, for example, was definitely a unified dynasty of outsiders and invaders, but ordinary people did not resist it in any way.

Because at that time, there was no national consciousness, the Ming Dynasty was just equivalent to a president of a modern large company for ordinary people, and changing from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty was nothing more than a company changing a president, and there was no difference between ordinary employees, what to do or what to do.

Sometimes when looking at modern history, I feel how there are so many "traitors", in fact, this word is not very accurate, because at that time there was no national consciousness in their hearts, in their eyes it was just a change of boss, this boss is Chinese or Japanese, what does it matter? It's like the Ming Dynasty for the Qing Dynasty.

But after the formation of national consciousness, this is not the case, for example, we hate traitors now, this is because we now have a collective understanding of the nation, otherwise how can you have hateful emotions? Make an assumption, if the chairman of the committee was really demoted during the anti-Japanese period, would the anti-Japanese resistance be considered a failure?

No, because of the formation of national consciousness, the chairman of the committee is just a representative, we don't admit it, you are nothing, I am for my nation, not for you alone.

In the Hundred Years' War, France had even become a British vassal state, and the kings had surrendered, but the French continued to fight under the banner of the nation, and finally turned defeat into victory, which is the national consciousness.

At that time, the British used iron horses to complete the awakening of the French nation's national consciousness, and the Japanese used guns and bayonets to awaken the Chinese nation.

The process of the Hundred Years' War and the Sino-Japanese War is also very similar, at the beginning Britain defeated France one after another, and then Britain fell into the People's War, at the end of the war, France turned defeat into victory, completed unification, and laid the outline of today's French territory, which is highly similar to the Sino-Japanese War.

However, Chen Kan said that these were all afterthoughts, and this was not the reason why Luo Fuguo came to the conclusion that "Japan will be defeated", and Luo Fuguo's mainland policy decided that its defeat was related to the policy after Britain's defeat in the Hundred Years' War.

The Hundred Years' War was caused by Britain's interest in the territory of Europe, and for Britain, the consequences were disastrous, but Japan did not take a lesson and peeked into the territory of the Asian continent and had great territorial ambitions.

So what's the right thing to do?

It is the practice of Britain, which is geographically an isolated island, because of the failure of the mainland policy, it has gradually derived and formed a set of famous policies, that is, the so-called "glorious isolation" policy.

The simple explanation of this policy is that on the surface I do not participate in the affairs of Europe, as if I have no quarrel with the world, but in fact I am acting as a mastermind behind the scenes, "messing around" behind the scenes, so that Europe cannot become a strong country.

It's a bit like a game called "whack-a-mole", with a hammer in hand, whoever comes up will hit whomever he wants, this is the policy of Britain in the most powerful era, and it is this policy that laid the foundation of the "empire on which the sun never sets", because of this policy, so that the European continent can never appear to be able to threaten the United Kingdom.

Which country is stronger, unite with other countries to fight him, Queen Elizabeth did a very beautiful job, the Spanish fleet is known as the "Invincible Armada", invincible, threatening Britain, so the queen found France, and said to the French king: "You help me fight Spain, and then I marry you, how about it?" ”

Then France fought a war with Spain, and finally Comrade Queen said that the marriage should be carefully considered, or not married.

France became strong, and Comrade Queen approached Spain and said to the king of Spain: "How about you send troops to help me fight France, and then I will marry you?" ”

Spain really fought, and Comrade Queen once again said that she would think about it.

The queen never married, but she used the word "marriage" to play with the monarchs of the European continent between applause.

Later, Napoleon swept across Europe and established a powerful French Empire, several anti-French alliances, who was the most active, it was not Britain, many times united with other countries to form an "anti-French alliance", bent on killing Napoleon, General Wellington (Allied commander of the Battle of Waterloo) was British.

But after Napoleon was really defeated, Britain said that France could not be severely punished, and that it was better to restore the situation before Napoleon, was it really the conscience of the British?

In fact, it is worried that excessive suppression of France will make other countries bigger, so France cannot be played to death, after Napoleon, Russia became the European policeman, and Britain could not afford to unite with other countries and Russia if it had nothing to do, the Crimean War was promoted by Britain, and this war made Russia lose to the ground, and it has been in a state of collapse ever since.

Germany was defeated in World War I, France was bent on killing Germany, and whoever stopped it the most was Britain, for the simple reason that France could not be allowed to dominate.

This is "whack-a-mole", there can be no superpower, Japan has the same status as Britain geographically, the same is isolated overseas, and has the third navy in the world, Japan's conditions at that time were even much better than Britain's, completely playing "whack-a-mole".

In fact, Japan did the same at the beginning, after the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing government was defeated, and as soon as the contract was signed, Japan took the initiative to show goodwill to the Qing government.

At first, the Qing government did not react, and was emotional, unwilling, and even signed a "Sino-Russian Secret Treaty" with Russia, after which China could be miserable, lose a lot of territory and sovereignty, and properly lure the wolf into the house.

After coming to his senses, the Qing government hurriedly cooperated with Japan; It is indeed a bit unbelievable to say that during the Eight-Nation Alliance, Japan was the last to agree to send troops (the old woman herself was looking for death), and she also took the initiative to protect the Chinese residents.

After the Eight-Power Coalition Army captured Beijing, Japan issued small flags to many people, saying that these people were protected by our Japan, and soldiers from other countries were not allowed to rob their property, of course, it did not mean that Japan was close to China, that was impossible, just for political needs, and a large number of Chinese were also slaughtered in Lushun, to be precise, it should have a good relationship with the Qing government, and its strategy was correct.

Russo-Japanese War, Russia failed, the Qing government made great efforts behind the scenes, at that time there were many progressives in the people spontaneously raised funds for Japan, Yuan Datou also sent the strongest army to help secretly, the local government took the initiative to provide intelligence, fought in China itself, with the support of the Chinese, can Japan not win?

If Japan continues this strategy, it will actually be very terrible for China, and if China still engages in "whack-a-mole" at this time, it is conceivable that the process of China's reunification may continue for a long time to come, which is why Chen Kan will say, "I'm glad it didn't do so."

In fact, since Japan's occupation of Korea, defeat has been inevitable; there are maritime countries and continental countries in this world, but there is no composite country on land and sea.

The reason is complicated, it seems that such a country is born to attract hatred, it will cause itself to rebel, and the whole world will make it an enemy, and it will be doomed in the end, no matter how powerful the country may be.

Japan's continental policy is to make itself a composite country on land and sea, which can be seen from the subsequent changes in the foreign policy of the world powers towards Japan, and it has gradually been isolated.

Therefore, an American historian said that "Japan has gradually plunged itself into a strategic deadlock through one tactical victory after another." ”
