Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    News of the discovery of a large coal mine in Australia.  The shock caused in Japan, especially the impact on the government and military circles, was simply earth-shattering.  You must know that the Australian continent is vast, far beyond the narrow land of Japan.  More importantly, large coal mines have been discovered on this continent. According to secret reports by well-known Chinese geologists, this continent contains rich mineral resources.

    The fundamental reason for Japan¡¯s crazy expansion during World War II was its small land and lack of resources.  In particular, the Great Kanto Earthquake made the Japanese people feel increasingly insecure, prompting the militaristic trend of external expansion to spread in Japan.  But now if there is such a choice, and the Japanese find that they have a more tempting decision after their westward march to the mainland is blocked, what choice do you think the Japanese will make?  At least in popular opinion, disagreements arise.

    Just when news came from the Chinese delegation to the UK that the Japanese delegation had reached a cooperation agreement with the British, a top-secret plan named "Don't Lead the Disaster" was formulated and officially started to be implemented.

    The plan to avoid causing trouble was formulated by a very small number of people in the Cabinet Office after many days of secret deliberations. The general plan is to use the secret power China currently has at its disposal to exert influence on Japan's political and military circles and change Japan's mainstream views from  Continental expansion has become the country's future strategic direction to expand toward the ocean.

    This kind of influence is not a forced influence, but takes advantage of the situation.  For Japan.  They suffered repeated setbacks on the mainland and invested a lot but gained little.  But on the sea, although their navy's influence in the military world is getting smaller and smaller, no one can shake the Japanese navy's dominance in East Asia.  If Japan gives up its dispute with China over its core interests and uses its powerful naval superiority to move toward the southeastern ocean, the benefits may not be unexciting.

    Of course, for Japan, it can also temporarily unite with China and take advantage of the opportunity of Russia's split to move north and encroach on Russia's vast territory.  This is not a temptation for both the Japanese and China.

    How to change the Japanese ambitions towards China, or how to make Japan give up on China, is a buffer before Japan cannot be completely defeated.  The power that China can use is the spies it has planted in Japan over the years.  Most of these people were prepared by Hua Fei for the future World War II.  Now, some of them can play a role.

    Of course Hua Fei understands that Australia¡¯s coal mines have found that China¡¯s hope of competing with Japan is slim.  After all, Britain and Japan have had an alliance for many years. Although this alliance was eventually dissolved due to the Washington Treaty, due to the changes in the situation in East Asia, Britain may not need a reliable ally to balance China.  After all, this coal mine was discovered by the Chinese, and they are very interested in this coal mine.  This is not to say that the British will alienate themselves from China and move closer to Japan because of this.  The only consideration for all those British guys who put profits first.  That is how to maximize the protection of their rights and interests in East Asia.  Relative to China's rising power, Britain's insecurity in East Asia will definitely grow day by day.  So it is certainly not impossible for the UK to maintain a good cooperative relationship with China's old enemy and a former ally of the UK and give up part of its rights and interests in this coal mine.

    What the British may not have imagined is that after the Chinese Olympic delegation rarely won three gold medals, one silver medal, and five bronze medals in Paris, the domestic debate over the peaceful resolution of Sino-Japanese disputes and the use of force to fight Japan to the death changed.  It became more and more intense and became more and more popular.

    Even Hua Fei himself was surprised by the results achieved by the Paris Olympic delegation.  You must know that these people have no formal professional training at all, and some of them may not even understand the rules when they leave Shanghai and board the ship.  But such a motley team has achieved surprising results.  In addition to the good selection mechanism of nationwide auditions, China's huge population base is also an important advantage.

    The winner of the first gold medal was Orion Zhang Dazao. This legendary Orion was a well-known news figure in newspapers before going to Paris. This time he went to the Paris Olympics and became even more famous.  He has absolutely leading results and an absolutely unique look.  The absolutely stunning pose made her a hot star in Paris newspapers.  Almost the entire French people were extremely interested in this hunter who came from the mountains of China and was full of wild and simple temperament.

    You see, a little-known and honest mountain hunter participated in the so-called audition held in China because of the Olympic Games.  The key to the legend is that he did not enter the preliminary selection because of shooting, but because of various track and field events.  He was accidentally selected into the shooting team, and without much professional training, he came to Paris and easily won a gold medal based on his hunting skills over the years.

    In ZhangWhile becoming popular in France, the other two gold medalists were also reported in detail by the media.  Jiang Dawei, a long-term worker nicknamed Little Tornado, won the championship in the 5,000-meter long-distance race in track and field, and also won a silver medal in the 1,500-meter middle-distance race, becoming the only athlete from the Chinese delegation to win two gold medals.

    Jiang Dawei is also quite legendary. He was originally a long-time employee of a landlord's family in Hubei Province. He was well-known in the neighborhood for his good running skills and was known as Little Tornado.  Originally, he was not interested in any competition at all, because the autumn harvest was about to begin, and if he went out to compete, he would have been busy that year.

    However, when the employer who hired him knew that if Jiang Dawei could win the gold medal, he would receive a large and generous recommendation reward from the government, the landlord bought a table of good wine and food and promised that no matter whether Jiang Dawei won the gold medal or not, he would get what he deserved.  The food was still given to him in the same amount as in previous years.  If you can get a gold medal, give him more food.  In this way, he lured Jiang Dawei to Paris with half-coaxing and half-deception, but he never thought that he would actually get two medals from him.

    When the news came back to Hubei, the landowner was so happy that he almost fainted.  When he reacted, he immediately ordered his family.  A banquet and firecrackers were arranged, and when Xiao Xuanfeng returned to his hometown, he wanted to pay homage to his ancestors and entertain the elders from all over the country.

    The last gold medal winner is nicknamed Langli Baitiao, Han Yuyu, and is a professional fisherman.  Ben was a fisherman on Panyang Lake. By chance, he was selected into the delegation and went to Paris to compete.  His amazing attainments in water properties can be seen from his nickname.  She lived up to expectations and won the 1,500-meter freestyle championship.  Afterwards, the Chinese delegation said that if Han Yuyu signed up for other swimming events, the Chinese delegation would definitely win one or two more gold medals.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? These nicknames may have been given to them for a long time, or they were given temporary nicknames after joining the delegation and found that many people had them.  In addition, two of the three athletes who won gold medals had nicknames similar to Liangshan Heroes, which made the Chinese classic novel Water Margin quickly become popular in France and set off a wave of Chinese literature.  This is another story.

    The unexpected results of the Olympic delegation set off a strong national ideological trend.  The rising national consciousness of countless young people quickly led to the expansion of the pro-democracy camp.  However, under Hua Fei's arrangement, a large number of experienced commentators began to advocate reconciliation with Japan and publicize it.

    In this environment, in the early autumn of 2024, the Nanjing government of China announced two announcements that attracted widespread attention around the world.  First, China will officially start the election of a new government in 1925, fully implement the previous election agenda, and establish a new democratically elected central government in the middle of 25 years.  Restructure existing government agencies to some extent.

    Second, the Nanjing Central Committee sent a delegation to visit Japan to conduct extensive contacts with the Japanese government and open up a path for China and Japan to eliminate differences and misunderstandings and develop friendly cooperative and development relations.

    These two announcements quickly aroused reactions from opposition political parties in China. On the one hand, they expressed their appreciation for Nanjing's election plan, but on the other hand, they expressed great dissatisfaction with Nanjing's peace talks with Japan.  The opposition parties believe that when the people have great opposition to the peace talks with Japan, it is really inappropriate for the Nanjing Central Committee to ignore public opinion and go its own way. The opposition parties use their words very euphemistically. Who doesn't know that the Nanjing government's behavior is tantamount to  Give them a lot of votes.  How could they sincerely oppose it and just do it superficially?

    No one knows what Nanjing is doing, and no one knows what happened to Hua Fei.  Many people who are familiar with or not familiar with Hua Fei are wondering. Is this really the same Hua Fei president who was known for his iron fist and who used force as his first choice?  However, people who pay a little attention to politics will guess that Nanjing's choice is also a helpless choice.  After experiencing a severe financial crisis not long ago, the Nanjing government has become somewhat unable to cope with military expenditures.  Moreover, in the past few years of contending with Japan, apart from achieving certain results on the Shandong issue, there have not been many visible achievements in other aspects.  In other words, Japan's all-out attack on Northeast China has something to do with President China's political stimulation.  Could it be that the Nanjing Central Committee has begun a new reflection?

    People who are not familiar with the inside story cannot see the mystery behind it, and those who have learned some of the inside information are even more confused.  It stands to reason that the military has always been dominated by hawks.  Wouldn't a dovish issue such as reconciliation with Japan not receive opposition from the military?  No matter how well-informed the person is, they only know that the presidential office has suppressed countless letters from military generals, and many military generals with radical behavior have even been temporarily transferred from their posts.  It seems that there is not much reaction on the surface, but the turmoil behind it is definitely not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.  It's just that no one can shake Hua Fei's status in the military, and no one dares to go to Hua Fei's mansion to question him, so the military people can only go to the Cabinet Office.  But with the support of Hua FeiThey are naturally fearless.
