"Chairman Chen Ke's visit to Japan demonstrates the new friendly and goodwill relations between Japan and China!"
"China and Japan join hands to share the future!"
¡¡
Japanese newspapers carried out large-scale publicity for Chen Ke¡¯s visit to Japan, and a lot of clues can be seen in the title and theme. Those who regard Chen Ke's visit as a return visit to Japan's Emperor Hirohito's "visit" to China are undoubtedly royalists. Those who mainly discuss Chen Ke¡¯s visit and the future of deepening Sino-Japanese economic cooperation are undoubtedly the financial and business people. Those who are anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism are undoubtedly the socialists. Of course, there are also a group of people who advocate globalization, which are ordinary new-school people and a group of people who want to reap more benefits faster. The common point is that Japanese interest groups have expressed their expectations for a bright future.
Since the upper class has such an attitude, Japanese people are even more permeated with a pro-China atmosphere and a return to Asia, which ranks among the most advanced in the world. Everyone wants to live a better life. Japan's plight cannot be solved by war, so Japan is naturally willing to choose peace.
Kita Ikki is not a person who particularly loves war. One of the reasons why he chose to declare war on Britain this time was to cut ties with old Japan. The Anglo-Japanese alliance is undoubtedly a symbol of old Japan. Following colonialism, imperialism and hegemonism, if Japan still treats the world with this attitude, sooner or later it will have trouble with China. Rather than that, it would be better to directly set the direction of Japan's future politics.
Chen Ke has delivered speeches many times. His tall figure is very eye-catching among the Japanese officials accompanying him, and his energetic movements make the Japanese feel in awe just by looking at him. In a mood of awe and expectation, Chen Ke's speech on Sino-Japanese friendship received a response like a roaring tsunami from the Japanese.
Some people are happy and some are worried that Britain was suddenly accused by Japan of instigating the assassination of Chen Ke in Japan. The evidence for these accusations is clear and detailed. Assassinating the leaders of warring countries is not a particularly strange thing. If successful, it can even become an operation with great deterrent effect.
¡°It¡¯s just that kind of deterrence needs to be successful. Assassination warfare aims at physical destruction, so there is no longer any issue of the so-called bottom line of war. Based on the principle of reciprocal retaliation that is now generally recognized internationally, the British have to consider whether their country¡¯s leaders will be harmed by China. aspects of assassination. After all, China is a big country, and the assassination force they can use is powerful enough. Assassinations would push the war into a new, merciless phase, where both sides would escalate from war to include the killing of everyone on the other side.
What is even more detrimental to Britain is that the assassination failed in a third country. Japan seemed to have no other choice but to declare war on Britain.
Of course, the UK immediately jumped out to deny it. They claimed that they would never use assassination by intelligence personnel to conduct a war. There is nothing that can be done about this. There are very few core personnel that the British colonies can rely on. If China carries out large-scale assassinations against these people, the British colonies will collapse even faster.
The United States also jumped in to help Britain put out the fire. They clearly opposed political assassinations and believed that "even war must have a bottom line" and such assassinations must be completely prohibited. Now that China has taken an anti-colonial stance and the United States does not want to easily follow suit, what Americans have to do is to put forward a "more humane" perspective and establish a more civilized model for the world. Opposing assassinations, at least opposing such assassinations in the future, has become a big selling point for the United States. To this end, the United States has fortunately sent documents to countries around the world, hoping to establish a clearer treaty on war operations.
Before this call could be responded to by China, the Soviet Union, Germany, and the United Kingdom, some South American newspapers had already ridiculed Roosevelt's call. Americans have a tradition of conducting coups and assassinations in South America, and all South American countries have suffered greatly from it. Roosevelt's hands were not clean either. He himself had issued considerable orders to get rid of the South American regime. It seems that this kind of propaganda that attempts to build a positive image of the United States has failed to create a righteous image of the United States.
At this time, uprisings occurred in several states in India. The rebels carried out assassinations against local British officials. This was a treasure trove for the British, who immediately began to accuse China of carrying out assassinations against British officials in India. On the one hand, it tried its best to claim that it had not assassinated Chen Ke, and on the other hand, it tried its best to muddy the waters. The British could only adopt this method.
After Chen Ke returned to China, the comrades were speechless at the British statement.
"This can't even be called hypocrisy, right? This is simply shameless!" A comrade from the Politburo commented.
Chen Ke said with a smile: "Hypocrisy is the tribute that evil has to pay to kindness. No matter from any angle, the British's current stance proves that most of the forces in the world still pursue justice."
"Most of the power in the world refers to China." Zhang Yu said with a smile. Although this sounds like a joke, Zhang Yu actually didn't mean to be joking at all when he said this.
"It seems that the Americans have decided to intervene in the war." Chen Ke did not want to make a fuss about hypocrisy. Justice is something that must be supported by strength. No matter how unjust the British actions were during the Opium War, China had no power and was still beaten to cede territory and pay compensation. In history, the liberation of colonies has never relied on the kindness of the mother country, but on the balance of power. So the attitude of the British is not important, what is important is the actions of powerful countries.
The United States is trying to establish a new international order this time. The ridicule of the United States by newspapers in South American countries is not important at all. South American countries have no power to change the world situation at all. If the changing world situation requires the strong intervention of the United States, other countries will not pay attention to the position of South American countries at all. This is one of the true colors of justice.
"Now the United States can only take action in the direction of Europe, right?" Wu Xiangyu asked. A deeper involvement of the United States in Europe is what China hopes to happen most. At this time, the strategic situation in the Western Pacific has become increasingly obvious, and all China needs is time.
Li Runshi replied: "The United States' war preparations are still insufficient. The important thing is that the United States has discovered that if it does not intervene in the world situation, they will no longer be able to effectively intervene in world affairs in the future. Roosevelt's performance can only be seen as an attempt to mobilize before the war. Over-interpretation is necessary.¡±
"Don't over-interpret" is a point of view that has been used more frequently by the People's Party in recent years. In recent years, there have been more and more interpretations of Chen Ke's words and deeds, especially among the new literati class and young cadres, who are trying to interpret more "hidden content" from Chen Ke's words and deeds in order to "dig deeper" into his ideas. The practice is becoming more and more popular. Chen Ke specifically criticized this. Finally, this trend was temporarily suppressed.
Chen Ke¡¯s comment on this matter was, ¡°I did this too when I was young! My feeling about it now is that it¡¯s a waste of time, and it also ruins your character.¡±
Comrades of the Political Bureau agree with this. Most of them are people with high emotional intelligence who have rich experience in practice. What needs to be interpreted is the various needs expressed by each person in their words and deeds. As for the profound meaning of words and deeds everyone feels that sometimes words are actually quite redundant.
As China and the United States understand each other more and more, people have fewer and fewer misjudgments about the United States. Fighting relies on realistic weapons, realistic command systems, and bloody battles by soldiers. No matter how well a person can interpret other people's thoughts, if he goes to the battlefield, he will die even if he takes a bullet in the head. This is the essential manifestation that matter determines everything.
"Then should we consider formulating a military plan to attack the United States?" Pu Guanshui asked. Now the troops are less and less worried about the United States. The United States has obviously lost the best opportunity to participate in the world war, at least in the Western Pacific War. China has now taken over all the British and French islands in the Pacific, especially those in the Central Pacific. As China builds up its military on these islands, China's chances of winning the attack on Hawaii are increasing. As a soldier, making such a war plan can be regarded as an occupational disease.
"We still need to make preparations. What we need now is people who will vigorously assist the anti-colonial movement in India. All the weapons we have seized and eliminated will be shipped to them, and we will give them as much as they want." Chen Ke is even more concerned about this. . Even the United States is trying to occupy the moral high ground, and China has no reason to give up the advantages it already has in the future wave of colonial independence.
"Now many Indian revolutionaries have come to China, requesting arms support from China. There are also some local independent forces who hope to receive comprehensive training from China." Li Runshi replied.
"We must support these revolutionaries. I think there are two things at this stage. One is to resume comprehensive oil trade with Iran. The second is to see what actions the Soviet comrades will take in the near future." Chen Ke replied , ¡°Soviet comrades are still silent, I think it¡¯s abnormal.¡±
The actions of the Soviet comrades are indeed somewhat abnormal. Chen Ke officially issued a declaration to the world in the United States that China will overthrow the world colonial system. The United Kingdom will definitely want power to oppose it. The United States also has a colony in the Philippines, and they will definitely not withdraw willingly. However, the Soviet Union has not yet made a clear response. Chen Ke thinks this is abnormal.
The relationship between China and the Soviet Union is very delicate in a sense. Both countries are big countries with long borders. Trying to maintain peace along such a long border is inherently difficult. The timing of history was so good that Chen Ke managed to maintain a peaceful border with the Soviet Union.
China and the Soviet Union also need each other¡¯s support. This is something that leaders with sufficient IQ understand. But this does not mean that the two countriesYou can have a consistent view on other things.
Chen Ke is a very pragmatic person. There are too many lessons from the same socialist camp in history. As long as the state, the highest contradiction born in human society, still exists, we cannot have too many illusions in the current world.
It is very easy to maintain confrontation in high-end areas such as ideology. For example, China and Germany both regard the other as an enemy to some extent, and the best they can do is to break out of a war. This actually makes it easier to have frank communication.
But for countries like China and the Soviet Union, which share basically the same banner, maintaining common ideological consensus requires too many conditions. Instead of getting out of hand in the end, it would be better not to get so close in the first place.
Since we use this concept to deal with Sino-Soviet relations, we can¡¯t help but feel a little alienated. The two countries are not like brothers in the same trench, but like neighbors trying to maintain non-conflict.
¡°But the Soviet Union and China had also had exchanges on anti-colonial aspects, and China had clearly informed the Soviet Union of the banner that China would play in its war of liberation in Asia. Now that China has revealed its flag to the world, the Soviet Union has not yet given a clear answer.
There are two possibilities for this. The first possibility is that the Soviet Union has its own plans, and the second possibility is that the Soviet Union has no interest in destroying the colonial system. No matter which option he chose, Chen Ke felt that the Soviet Union's current attitude seemed abnormal.
