Regarding the analysis of the Japanese nation, if Xiao Letian considers himself second in this world, then no one would dare to say that he is first. The reason is too simple. Xiao Letian has studied this nation for two lifetimes.
Not to mention the Fuso Kingdom, which has been forcibly interrupted in the Meiji Restoration process. Even if it was the first modern country in Asia in its previous life, and even if they Westernized all its people early, the national nature of being small and low-minded is still difficult to eradicate. .
In the previous life, before World War II, the cards Japan held were ridiculously good. After the Sino-Japanese War, there was the Russo-Japanese War. After that, there was another war, and they annexed Ryukyu, Taiwan, and North Korea. Finally, before the outbreak of World War II, even the three northeastern provinces The bag is in the arms.
Abandoning national sentiments and analyzing purely from a strategic perspective, almost all politicians must admit that Japan really had a handful of good cards in its hands at that time. He did not have to waste his brains to figure out how to play these cards. If you don't put it in your hand, you will already be sure of victory.
It may seem a little unbelievable, but what we cannot avoid is that before Japan fully entered World War II, the international powers had actually recognized Japan's suzerainty over Korea, Ryukyu, Taiwan, including the Puppet Manchukuo, especially those ceded by the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. North Korea, Ryukyu, and Taiwan have no legal loopholes.
In such a good situation, there is actually no need for Japan to take the initiative to do anything. It is enough for them to just hold on. Guarding those newly opened territories, like the United States, will hold on until the situation becomes clear and until the end of the war, even if they are unable to do anything from the beginning to the end. Stay neutral and you will win.
It's a pity that this small and violent nation is too small-minded... No, no, no, it should be that individuals are too small-minded, which backfires on the national interests.
The reason why militarists are so warlike is actually for personal gain. They need military exploits and war to change their social status.
Those soldiers who fanatically launch mutinies do not consider the national interests or the grand strategies constructed by politicians at all. All they want is to improve their status, and the only way to improve is to launch a war.
Throughout the history of Japan's military state, it is a farce in which low-level soldiers continue to take military risks and gamble, and then high-level politicians wipe the slate.
When the September 18th Incident was launched, the senior civil servants in Tokyo had no idea about it, and even the emperor did not know about it before.
During the February 26th Mutiny, the crazy army actually attacked the cabinet, and two prime ministers were assassinated, and the whole world was in an uproar.
Whether it is killing foreigners or own people, there is no just excuse. The appearance of complicated things is actually the root cause is what Xiao Letian said today.
"The spirit of Bushido is originally a narrow ideological value system with only the ego and no big ego. Everyone pays too much attention to the interests of themselves or their own small group, coupled with the abnormally strong desire to improve themselves and change their class, let you I lost my mind even more!"
"I don't care about your fight. What I care about is whether you can integrate into the Chinese community in the future. If your hearts are forever immersed in the narrow bushido spirit of the past and cannot be sublimated, then something like this The mindless conflict will become more and more intense in the future..."
"One day, you will fall into a strange circle. Your brain can no longer control the sword in your hands. On the contrary, the sword can control you... It is understandable to pursue personal progress and class improvement. But will you take the right path? Will you sacrifice the interests of the greater self for the sake of the small self?"
"I'll see! Just because of the disagreement between the three chief officers, the soldiers under my command actually fought in the entire battalion and even attempted to rob the arsenal? Do you have any brains? Well...do you have any brains!"
"In the end, you dared to attack friendly forces? The military level of the military port is three levels higher than that of your Ba Dao camp. How do you think you are justified?"
"Things got out of hand in the end, and you still want to apologize by disemboweling yourself? To put it bluntly, don't you just want to threaten me with death? Play moral kidnapping with me? Can you fool me with your little tricks?"
"Don't keep shouting about disembowelment or not. That's a kind of moral kidnapping. You know very well that most people don't want to be stigmatized for not saving lives. No one wants to be accused of being cold-blooded... So you threaten me with suicide. Isn’t the subtext very clear..."
"If you, Xiao Letian, are not afraid of being called a butcher and a cold-blooded killer, then you will let us die! You know that I, Xiao Letian, will not watch hundreds of veterans commit suicide, so your sincerity in apologizing is purely A scam is a moral kidnapping!”
"Stop it, are you playing this trick with me? Are you my opponent? Believe it or not, I can expose all your dark thoughts by just writing two random editorials in the newspaper? Believe it or not, I will Did the paper decree cut off all Fuso’s paths to promotion as a samurai because of your stupidity?”
"I have ten thousand ways to teach you about your stupidity, but I didn't do that. Why? Isn't it because you have shed blood and sold your lives under my command?"
"But what about you now? You're still going further and further down the wrong path, and you're even here to kneel down and force yourself into the palace? What kind of hunger strike are you holding in the military camp? What are you thinking about in your head? Is it a brain? Or is it sashimi?"
Hyoutaro was the youngest and the most unstable in his emotions. His emotions collapsed when his godfather blasted him with a cannon. He covered his face and cried bitterly, "Then what should we do? Lord foster father, I beg you to tell me the correct answer." Right? I don’t have enough brain power, I’m confused... Wuwuwu, what should I do! What should we do to calm you down!"
Just when the atmosphere was at its most depressing, Sister Wu, who was not far away, suddenly spoke. After all, they were all of Japanese origin, and she felt sorry for Hyoutarou and the two of them when they were in so much pain.
"Isn't the answer in your military regulations? Why are you so confused! What the Prime Minister wants is not to punish you, what the Prime Minister wants is for you to realize from your heart where you went wrong..."
"Have you forgotten the daily meeting, three-day meeting, and weekly general meeting required by military regulations? Have you forgotten the rule that a post-war summary and exchange meeting should be held immediately after a bloody battle?"
"Examine yourself three times a day! Meetings are not needed only during war. Today's situation requires you to hold self-examination meetings even more. If you don't repent from the bottom of your heart and don't let every soldier realize where his mistakes are, Then such mindless mistakes will definitely be made again in the future!”
"Can't you understand the Prime Minister's painstaking efforts?"
Hyōtaro tilted his head and snarled his neck, "Shut up, you bitch! What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson? You have no right to speak here!"
Damn it, Xiao Letian almost fainted from anger, this godson really failed!
