ACT218: Taoguang Yanghui

In an unbelievable way, the Tang-Japanese War lasted less than 5 months and ended with a Japanese victory, and the Tang Dynasty agreed to the other side's demand for peace talks and paid reparations to Japan. Although the amount of money and land was a drop in the bucket for the deep-pocketed empire, the loss of face was unacceptable to the people.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the people! People everywhere spontaneously raised "Wanmin Stickers", hoping to persuade Lingzong to refuse peace talks and reorganize the elite of the Tang Army to fight again. However, Lingzong soon issued a "Letter to All the People" to the whole country, and the content of this speech was like a basin of cold water to extinguish all the people's enthusiasm for war.

Lingzong frankly admitted that the main responsibility for the mistake of this military operation lay with his own underestimation of the enemy, and that he underestimated the strength of Japan, causing hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line to be killed, and the two fleets of the West Wind and the Far East being severely damaged, and he was ashamed of those families who had lost their relatives and flesh. But it's not that he wants to die on the front line, but he must use the other four fleets to ensure that the shipping lanes from the mainland to the colony of Jupiter are unimpeded, because the earth is ...... It's going to be over!

This is the first time that Datang has disclosed the truth of the disaster to the people, and it is also the first government in the world to make the "end of the earth" public. Issued by the supreme ruler of the empire himself, combined with the frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity in various places, it is impossible for the people not to believe the truth of this news!

Subsequently, Lingzong announced that the whole country of Datang had entered a "state of emergency", and that people everywhere must obey the arrangements of government personnel, prepare to emigrate to the colony of Jupiter as soon as possible, and must complete the population transfer work before June 1938. This is the number one priority for the whole country at the moment, and they have no time and energy left to spend on the war.

"Sister, do you think this will make Datang stump from now on?"

In the Martial God Temple in Chang'an, Emperor Yan glanced at the newspaper that Zhao Jian was reading, and said that he couldn't understand the current situation. At this time, there were three people in the room, Yan Huang and Zhao Jian, among whom Zhao Jian was reading the newspaper with one hand, and the other free arm was held by the Yellow Emperor and gnawed. Behind the sofa where the two of them were sitting was Emperor Yan with an unhappy face.

The reason why the other party asked for this kind of question that she was not usually interested in was to attract the attention of "my sister". But the Yellow Emperor was too focused and didn't hear what she was saying at all, but Zhao Jian was willing to talk to her.

"Slumped? Lord Yandi, you underestimate the resilience of the Chinese nation too much! Throughout the ages, the Central Plains has faced many more severe difficulties than this, and we have not survived the same? ”

"Come on! My sister and I have experienced all the difficulties you mentioned, and you didn't know where the road was at that time! I don't need you to give Miss Ben a history lesson! ”

glanced at Zhao Jian fiercely, Emperor Yan has never had a good face towards his "little white face"! At this time, the Yellow Emperor finally "eaten". Satisfied, they breathed a sigh of relief, the energy they got from Zhao Jian was simply the best "delicacy" in the world for them, and the Yellow Emperor felt that he was a little addicted.

"Thank you, Xiaojian."

"You're welcome."

Retracting the arm that still carried the "residual warmth" of the other party's lips from the Yellow Emperor, Zhao Jianxin said that it was only noon, and he had already made up for the second time, and it was possible to do it 4 or even 5 times today. It is not difficult to see how bad the Holy Body is today!

3 days ago. After Lingzong published the "Letter to All the People", his physical condition deteriorated again, and if it were not for Zhao Jian to indirectly provide him with energy, he might have gone to the west long ago. But even if there is Zhao Jian. Lingzong can only hold out for another half a month at most, and Gangwang Li Ti has returned to Chang'an late last night, there is no doubt that Lingzong is ready to explain the future.

"You were talking about the impact of this war, right? Xiaoship, what do you think about this? ”

"I think so! This war was definitely planned by the Spirit Sect. The aim is to eliminate 'factors of instability' in the country. Or to put it bluntly...... Purge dissidents! ”

"Oh~! So do you think this war is wrong? ”

"Nope! I think this war is still necessary. As the old saying goes, if you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger! From a national point of view, this war has cost us a lot of money. But it also served as a wake-up call. It is important to know that the earth will soon become a fireball, and human beings can only flee to extraterrestrial colonies to live, and the limited transportation capacity of various countries is simply not enough to move all the local industrial equipment. The vast majority of old powers will be greatly damaged by this. This is an opportunity for emerging countries to reshuffle their cards. ”

"Then according to what you say, in the future, this world should be very peaceful, after all, everyone has to be bored and engaged in development!" Emperor Yan said for granted, but Zhao Jian shook his head.

"Quite the opposite! Humans have never been creatures who like to level the playing field. In addition to taking the normal development route, taking advantage of the weakness of the old-timer, directly give him a knife, which is also a way to catch up. ”

Zhao Jian's words made Yan and Huang deeply convinced, after all, they had seen more similar things than Zhao Jian.

"The first few years after the Great Migration are very important, if we continue to hold the arrogant idea of 'I am Datang and I am the most hanging', maybe when we come to our senses, other countries have left Datang far behind."

"But what does this have to do with deliberately losing to Japan?"

"Didn't you say that earlier? Warning! This common people, sometimes they are very stubborn, you just talk about reasoning is better than giving them a practical demonstration to be impressive, and defeat can also play a role in showing weakness to the enemy. ”

"Then what if other countries want to unite and take the opportunity to take the life of Datang?"

"In that case, Japan will protect us."

"Huh!? They just fought with us, can they be so kind? ”

"The Japanese have to work hard to be able to eat alone, and we just created this illusion for them. As for the power of Europe and the United States, their union is even more impossible! The Soviet Union and Germany did not like each other, and they were jointly suppressed by Britain and France, and Britain and France were also inseparable, American isolationism was prevalent, no one tried to provoke them first, and Roosevelt said that he would not be in charge of the Congress that was specifically responsible for opposing him. By the way, I personally think that the European one is more likely to fight first! ”

The leader of the analysis of the situation is Dao, Zhao Jian relied on himself to be a traverser, and showed off his "international vision" in front of Yan and Huang. Although there is a big gap between the world in this time and space and Zhao Jian's previous life, there are still traces of history to follow, and Zhao Jian can use the knowledge of his previous life as a reference to speculate on the development of this time and space.

As soon as Zhao Jian finished speaking, before Yan Huang could give any reaction, there was a burst of applause outside the room, and the three people present were all shocked, the other party was able to avoid the perception of the three of them and get close to this position. But when someone pushed the door and entered the house, all three people in the room were dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty!?" (To be continued......)

PS: Stuffy development is the last word!
