Japanese Army Shanghai Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
At this time, the old soldier Matsui Iwane looked at a list of more than 20,000 people killed in battle, and subconsciously scratched his hair with his right hand, almost pulling out all the hair.
With a sad face, although the final blame was thrown on Prince Beibai, the headquarters was already very dissatisfied with him.
Matsui Iwane was very worried about this matter because he was originally an idle person who was idle at home. Later, because the little Japanese coveted China, and Matsui Iwane was a China expert, he was reactivated and sent to China.
In the same situation as him, there are Chief of Staff Iinuma Mamoru of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force and Deputy Chief of Staff Toshichi Uemura. Before the outbreak of the Songhu Battle, they either held idle positions or did not even hold any official positions. there is none left.
Then the three old guys with similar smells hugged each other to keep warm. At this time, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Matsui Iwane looked at the red number of casualties on the report and said nothing for a long time. Because in the Battle of Huainan, more than 20,000 well-trained imperial soldiers were packed into small boxes in just a few days. Even the bodies of some people could not be found at all.
Of course, this is not important. If a person dies, the mainland will send troops for reinforcements. The key thing is that if they can't win the Jinpu Line, they may not just be dismissed and investigated. Tens of thousands of people have lost money, but you haven't even gotten back a single bird's egg, so what's the point of keeping you?
So the three old devils were very anxious.
The old devil Matsui Iwane was in a daze, and Toshichi Uemura was thinking, but with his brows furrowed it was obvious that he hadn't even thought of a single thing.
However, at this moment, Iinuma Mamoru suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Why don't we do this..."
"Nani?"
Matsui Iwane and Uemura Toshichi looked at Iinuma Mamoru at the same time.
But at this time, Iinuma Mamoru opened his mouth, but forgot about the flash of inspiration he had just had.
Matsui Iwane said angrily: "Numamori-kun, it's already this time, so stop teasing me."
At this time, Matsui Iwane felt that Mamoru Iinuma was teasing him. But Iinuma Mamoru did just think of a good idea, but Matsui Iwane and Uemura Toshichi looked at him together and made a sound of exclamation, so he forgot the idea again.
Iinuma Mamoru waved his hand to signal the two of them to stop talking, and then turned his back to meditate.
But this kind of meditation didn't help him much except giving him a headache.
At this time, Matsui Iwane and Iinuma Mamoru seemed to realize that Toshichi Uemura had thought of something, but he had forgotten it again.
This kind of thing is very common in daily life. Maybe you just thought of a wonderful idea just a second ago, and when you wanted to share it with others, you forgot what you wanted to say the moment you opened your mouth.
Of course, this is not a disease, nor is it a precursor to Alzheimer's disease. It's just that our brains filter it out after a moment of memory.
Memory in our brain can be divided into instant memory, short-term memory and long-term memory according to the duration. What you decided to do in the last second is instant memory, also called sensory memory.
For example, when you are sitting on the sofa watching TV, your wife who is preparing to cook in the kitchen opens the window door and makes a noise.
At this time, hearing the sound of the window being pulled will make us instinctively aware that your wife will call you in the next second, and your body will respond accordingly.
And this memory of less than one second is instant memory, which allows your body to make the next response: should you continue watching TV, or should you listen to what your wife wants to say to you?
At this moment, your wife spoke: The soy sauce, salt, and chicken essence in the kitchen are all gone. By the way, I want you to buy another bottle of vinegar and bring back some tomatoes.
You recited it silently in your mind and felt that you remembered it.
However, the moment you put on your shoes and open the door and close the door, you find that you can't remember what you want to buy. What you just said was forgotten as soon as you turn around. Why is this?
Because you are closed.
In order to help us remember, our brains will cut all events into small fragments: the fact that my wife just asked her to go out to buy soy sauce and that she is going out to buy groceries have actually been divided into two things, and the "separation" of these two events The "talisman" is the action of closing the door.
The moment you close the door, your brain will automatically clear the previous short-term memory fragments for you, leaving you with only a rough idea: you need to make some mistakes. This will leave more space for processing other information later.
For example, where do you go to buy soy sauce? Is it the supermarket downstairs or a large shopping mall? Do I want to buy something myself?
Buy some cigarettes, what brand? There are no more pills in the drawer of the bedside table. Should I buy some on the way?
There is no Little Pill Supermarket, but you still need to take a bus to go to the big shopping mall. So should I wait until I get to work tomorrow? etc.
The famous German psychologist Ebbinghaus proposed the forgetting curve of memory, pointing out that what happened on the first day is most likely to be forgotten until it is no longer remembered. Memorizing a word can only be firmly remembered by repeating it at least six times. remember.
The same goes for Iinuma Mamoru. He thought of something, but when Matsui Iwane and Uemura Toshichi looked at him together, he was actually a little proud, and he was thinking, if I tell this plan, Matsui Iwane will I am afraid that both I and Toshichi Uemura would admire me.
So, the short-lived memory fragment just disappeared.
Iinuma Mamoru had a splitting headache and couldn't remember anything, and he was sweating profusely.
At this time, it was Matsui Iwane who advised him to relax. Because he had been in this situation before. He thought of something one second, but when he wanted to talk to the other party the next second, he forgot what it was.
He comforted Iinuma Mamoru and helped him remember, because just now, what they had been discussing was that they had no chance of making another mistake. If the battle fails again, they will be knocked back to their original shape even if they don't die.
This is nothing short of miserable, and especially for Matsui Iwane. Why did he come to China several times? In fact, to put it bluntly, it's because he has been dismissed and is at home.
But Matsui Iwane is also a restless person. That's why he came to China several times to negotiate with many warlords in China.
It's just a pity that no one buys his face, including the Chairman.
He was turned away several times, and the chairman of the committee did not accept his proposals. Only then did Matsui Iwane take revenge and create the appalling Nanjing tragedy.
"I remembered!"
At this moment, Iinuma Mamoru suddenly stood up from the sofa, overjoyed.
Old Japanese Matsui said quickly: "Hurry, tell me quickly, don't forget it again!..."
