"Hehe, meet again.It turned out to be an old friend. ”Xuan Jianzhang was overjoyed to find out that the arrested Japanese officer was Saigo Congmichi.Xixiang saw Xuan Jianzhang from the road, his face was full of shame, this is the second time he has fallen into the hands of Xuan Jianzhang, I heard that his brother Xixiang Takamori has also been captured alive by Xuan Jianzhang three or four times, "General Xuan." ”Xuan Jianzhang did not show a look of contempt for Xixiang Congdao, "No need to do this, we are all old friends, and there are winners and losers on the battlefield." ”"Hmm."
Xixiang squeaked from the road for a long time, and he could only squeak out such a word, and he didn't know if he would be released if he was arrested this time, he knew the discipline of the Chinese army, and if he was caught, he would have to be reformed through labor for three years."
Take it down."
Xuan Jianzhang waved his hand, only for reasons of old knowledge, he said such a sentence to Xixiang Congdao, otherwise, he rarely spoke to the captives."
Wait, General.I am a defeated general, but I still have something to say to the general. ”Saigo suddenly remembered something.Xuan Jianzhang smiled indifferently, thinking that Saigo Congdao wanted to be released, "What's the matter?"
"General, although the combat effectiveness, weaponry, tactical level, and training quality of your Chinese army are much higher than those of the Japanese government army, but you seize our land, this is unjust, no matter how long we fight, we Japanese will never give up unless all of them die." ”Xuan Jianzhang and Li Hongzhang have discussed this issue for a long time, there are propaganda measures within the Chinese army, and there are also propaganda measures among the entire group of Chinese people who have migrated to Kyushu Island, so Xuan Jianzhang is not unable to answer this question."
Do you usually pay little attention to the news, even if the Japanese official blocks the news we disseminate to the main island of Japan, you are a high-ranking military officer, it is impossible not to know the proposition of the Chinese army, you invaded our Korean province of China first, shouldn't we teach you a lesson?"
asked Xuan Jianzhang with his head raised.Saigo frowned, "Cutting land or paying compensation, you always have to give an explanation, you don't come up with an explanation for a long time, do you want to kill all our Japanese and occupy all Japanese territory" "We have put forward conditions, either, your Japanese Meiji government will give up the entire island of Kyushu as compensation to our country, or, let your Tokugawa Yoshiki come and talk to us, we will retreat to the area west of Fukuoka and Kurume, and only occupy Fukuoka, Kurume, Karatsu, Saga, Hirado, Sasebo and Nagasaki Castle are small areas. ”Xuan Jianzhang said, "It's not that we don't talk to you, it's that you want to use Westerners to suppress China, the president of Asia is Huaguo, and you use forces outside Asia, it's you who are unjust" Huaguo has been the first big country in Asia since ancient times, not only has the heritage of a big country, but also has the demeanor of a big country, and Confucianism has influenced the whole of Asia, unless the Japanese do not recognize themselves as Asians, otherwise, it is indeed untenable.Saigo Congdao said angrily: "Such harsh conditions, there is no sincerity General Tokugawa Keiki has already returned the great government, what reason is there to let a general from the lower field to participate in international affairs, you are interfering in our internal affairs of Japan and bullying people too much" "Tokugawa Keiki can't go to the wilderness, that's your internal matter, but here in Huaguo, you still recognize Tokugawa Keiki" Xuan Jianzhang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, snorted, "Take it down" This time, Xuan Jianzhang doesn't plan to let go of Saigo Congdao again, last time he let go of Saigo Congdao, That's because of political needs, this time it's different, and the reason why Saigo Takamori was let go several times was because Saigo Takamori was there, and the samurai army had a unified command, which was convenient for the Chinese army to strike, and it was also out of political needs, and every step of the Chinese army was steady and strategically planned.Saigo protested while being escorted down by two Chinese soldiers.The reason why the Chinese army was already so strong when China was not very strong was because all the power in China was concentrated in the hands of the Hua Emperor, and everything was done with a complete strategic plan as a guide Why did the Japanese lose all the wealth accumulated in nearly 80 years since 1860 in less than ten years, it is because their system itself has problems, and their system cannot support a comprehensive plan, let alone a country, It's just a small village, without a complete plan, and don't want to develop.From the point of view of grand strategy, the biggest mistake made by the Japanese army that invaded China was that the lower-level officers involved the upper-level army, and the upper-level army involved the entire country; there was no overall economic plan, there was no overall strategic plan, and they were short-sighted, and they took one step at a time, which was completely a set of wild dogs in the early days of feudal society to grab food.What was the supreme goal of the Japanese invasion of China, and the Japanese military department and the gang did not understand this question until the defeat of the war, and they did not even have a clear basic political goal.First, if the goal of the invasion of China is the complete annihilation of China, then any other interests can be negotiated.Manchuria's interests could be touched by the Soviet Union and Japan, and before stabilizing the situation in China, the ambition of the South Seas was completely abandoned, and all diplomatic efforts were based on cutting off China's foreign aid as the supreme guideline, and the main military energy was devoted to the mainland, and the puppet army was trained and used on a large scale.Second, if the goal of invading China is to protect the existing interests of Manchuria and Taiwan or to maintain China's separatist state for a long time, then there should be no full-scale war at all, and shouting "China will die in March" is even more stupid, which is equivalent to pushing all China's political forces to the opposite side.Third, if the goal of the invasion of China is to provide a safe rear for the southward and northward advances, then not to mention the all-out invasion of China, it is debatable whether or not the "918" campaign will be launched, and for the impoverished and industry-deficient Republic of China, normal trade gains are more efficient for Japan than direct open robbery.What did Japan do at the beginning, it wanted to expand its interests in China and maintain China's division, and to support new warlords; then chose to completely annihilate China, and after facing a certain stalemate on the mainland battlefield, instead of continuing to increase troops, he provoked Mao Zi in the northeast and was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face; Then he felt that after the outbreak of the European war, Nanyang seemed to be profitable, and wanted to get rid of the peace talks from the mainland, but he was reluctant to give up the bottles and cans he had snatched, so he established a puppet government of Wang, but the result was completely angry and the peace talks were completely hopeless; Later, finding that France seemed weak after the defeat, it extended its hand to Vietnam and Thailand, which provoked Britain and the United States, which had always regarded Southeast Asia as their sphere of influence.Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan seemed to have won victory after victory, grabbing land after land, but it failed to achieve complete victory in any direction, but instead angered and offended all the forces around it, and this level of hatred was inferior to that of the Third Reich.In fact, Japan is not obsessed with a goal too much to fail, but precisely does not have a clear supreme goal, just relying on the wild dog's general instinct to seek all the benefits that it can see in the short term, does not know how to give to get, relying on limited national strength but in fact want to accomplish n major strategic goals, and these goals are in conflict with each other, this kind of overall view and strategy level that is not even as good as the Manchus in the 17th century, and finally how can it be undefeated In the final analysis, after the bubble of the Taisho era burst, Since the tens of millions of petty bourgeoisie cannot come up with the determination to bury the bureaucratic gate system, the only way to rise is to select an army with a fairly fair system.In this wave of collective militarism, any rational strategic decision can only make way for domestic political needs, and the final outcome is also expected to be born of injustice and die of shame.The root of Japan's disease is that the Meiji Restoration, which began to be planted since the Meiji Restoration, did not eradicate the class, but created a strange classification of the imperial family, the aristocracy, the nobles, the commoners, the people on the fringes of the city, and a lot of messy classifications were blended together, which made the class contradictions infinitely magnified, so the emperor would feel more and more that the reason why Ito Hirobumi was powerful was here, in the hands of Ito Hirobumi, these sharp social contradictions have always been well controlled, and the strategic planning of the whole country is as precise as a designed programWhen to do what should be done and when not to do are all very rigorous.That's why Emperor Hua chose to go directly to Japan in 1879, a very peaceful period in history, when China had just been unified and was fledgling, and this is the reason, if China and Japan are developing at a normal speed, with the speed of civilization of China, dragged down by a vast area and a huge population, the initial speed is slow and scary, and it will definitely not be able to catch up with the speed of a small and big Japan.
It is very likely that all the strategic ideas of the Chinese emperor will be interrupted, so after the reunification of China, the Chinese emperor first extended his hand to the annexation of Korea, and then cut off the Japanese island of Kyushu.Japan is still very weak now, and when it becomes stronger, their social differentiation will become more and more serious, all classes are locked up, and the only way for young people to develop is to go to the army, so the Meiji Restoration itself is destined for the Japanese to take a road of infinite death, and history cannot be changed by anyone, so the Chinese emperor has never had any illusions about the Japanese.When a strategic goal is difficult to achieve, it is necessary to complete it at all costs, or to consider changing the goal, or to abandon the goal, and history has proven many times that the first method can basically only lead to failure, and the history of the Japanese state has taken this path.Napoleon said that the transformation of strategic goals required genius, which was obviously not enough at the average level of intelligence of the Wa Kingdom at that time.The Japanese people are poor and short-sighted, and the rats are short-sighted.In the war of aggression against China's Greater China, although the assumption of slaughtering Wuhan and retreating to the Yellow River is feasible, it is unrealistic.This price is too great for the Japanese people, and they may have to mutiny, let alone gain political bargaining chips through counterattacks later.Although China does not have the ability to allocate materials to supply the battlefield on Kyushu Island for the time being, the transportation of 600,000 people in the early stage and the transfer of the first brigade of the first field division of the Chinese army, the most elite of the Chinese army, to Kyushu Island are all in preparation for long-term occupation, and at the same time, the Chinese army has no plan to launch an attack on the main island of Japan.This time, after Li Hongzhang and Xuan Jianzhang discussed, the attack on Xiaguan City was just to scare the Japanese, in this way, it will make their whole country live in fear, forced by the strong force of the Chinese army, all the counties and villages in Japan will be equipped with defense, such a small agricultural country, playing defense with China, how to develop and consume your population, let you live in fear, and not give you room for development, this is President Meng's suppression policy for Japan, Li Hongzhang has fully understood the idea of the emperor.As a result, the Chinese army has always been a few positions ahead of the Japanese at the strategic level, and as long as the Chinese army is still in Japan, this gap will never be narrowed, and will only widen.t1706231537:
