The cold moonlight shines through the clouds in the sky and falls on the glazed tiles of the ancient palace. Tall ancient trees rustled in the chilly evening breeze. After the wind stopped, the surroundings became completely silent again, as quiet as a cemetery. The sudden drop in temperature at night caused a thin layer of frost to form on the ground, covering the branches and leaves of every precious flower and tree in the palace, as well as the lawn of a Western-style golf course.
And in a traditional Japanese palace not far from the golf course, a middle-aged man was lying on a luxurious Western-style bed. But for some reason, he had been sleeping very uneasily. He tossed and turned almost all night long. This time he almost alarmed the plump woman named Liangzi next to him.
This middle-aged man is not tall, his skin is slightly dark, his body looks a little thin, and his expression seems a little nervous - boring royal life, countless rules and complicated etiquette, obedient palace maids, flattering courtiers, The historical accumulation of more than 2,500 years since the legendary Emperor Jimmu made him almost forget that he was a human being, and only regarded himself as a "living god" in the world.
He is the contemporary Emperor Showa of Japan, His Majesty Hirohito, and the legendary Amaterasu Omikami of Japan - the descendant of the sun goddess!
Compared with the modern Japanese society of the 21st century, those subsequent generations of emperors who lived under the shock of the US military stationed in Japan, the constraints of the democratic system and the impact of American culture, and who lived without a sense of existence, the power of the Showa Emperor And prestige is obviously very different from those unscrupulous descendants - in this country that belongs to him. His words are holy edicts, and his instructions are holy parables. Millions of Japanese navy and army officers fought for him alone, and 70 million Japanese citizens died for him alone. He is their totem of faith and their spiritual pillar. It is the embodiment of Yamato Soul!
The past few months have been the most high-spirited time in Emperor Showa's life - the invincible Imperial Army swept through the entire China at a very slight cost, from Shanhaiguan all the way to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and has completely destroyed this ancient empire. Nanjing and Beijing are all in the bag!
This unprecedented feat not only fascinated the subjects of the Empire of Japan, but also made His Majesty the Showa Emperor deeply excited.
Since the first batch of troops crossed the sea to fight. He prayed every day in the palace for the military fortune of the empire. When the good news of the "bloodless opening of Nanjing" came, Tokyo citizens excitedly organized a lantern parade, and the emperor also rode a white horse. Passionately cheering on Japanese soldiers and civilians on the streets of Tokyo.
¡ª¡ªIf this momentum continues, the Japanese Empire¡¯s grand plan to conquer China and unify East Asia seems to be no longer a dream!
The fertile soil of Manchuria with its white mountains and black waters, and the vast Mongolian grassland. The magnificent ancient capital Beijing. The prosperous and splendid Jiangnan resort Such a vast territory that his grandfather, Emperor Meiji, and his father, Emperor Taisho, could not even dream of, was planted with the rising sun flag in his era!
However, while he was full of excitement, joy and pride, Emperor Showa occasionally could not help but feel a little worried in his heart.
¡ª¡ªIs the decaying and dying empire across the sea really like a rotten old house that can collapse with just a kick?
¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
Generally speaking, in the long history of the past. The Japanese nation has a deep sense of inferiority, but it also has a deep "feeling for a great country."
??From the Asuka Period and Nara Period when Japanese civilization was born. In the millennium before the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese could only huddle on four small islands, introduced Chinese cultural classics, believed in Buddhism from India, and spent a long time in peace - from Everything from culture to religion is not original. Even the Japanese kana has to borrow the strokes of Chinese characters. Moreover, they are located on a small island with frequent earthquakes and poor products. Looking at the vast, rich and vast country on the other side of the sea of course, the Japanese feel very inferior.
¡ª¡ªEven before and after the Sino-Japanese War, in the minds of many Japanese, China was still a celestial country that was far superior to itself.
However, despite living on a remote island, the Japanese have never been able to get rid of the feelings of a great power. This kind of feelings did not arise in modern times, but has existed since ancient times and has never changed. As an outer island of the East Asian continent, As a country deeply influenced by Chinese civilization, Japan has always been unwilling to integrate into the tribute system of the Chinese Empire. It does not admit that it is a younger brother in the Chinese civilization circle. Instead, it has been holding back its energy since the birth of the country. Want to break up with China: In the letter of credence he wrote to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, Japan¡¯s Prince Shotoku brazenly claimed that ¡°the emperor at sunrise writes to the emperor at sunset.¡±?, completely regardless of the huge difference in power and status between the two This is the origin and origin of Japan's feeling of being a great nation.
Next, even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, after being defeated by Tang Gaozong's navy at the Baicun River, the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty only acted like students and paid respect to the Tang Dynasty as a teacher, rather than being like Silla. They generally bowed to the Tang Dynasty. Later, facing the Mongols sweeping across the Eurasian continent, Japan during the Kamakura Shogunate era launched an open challenge without fear. In the late Ming Dynasty, Japan under the rule of Toyotomi Hideyoshi even had the crazy idea of ??annexing North Korea, dominating China, expedition to India, and finally dominating the world in one battle!
¡ª¡ªIt should be noted that the Japanese¡¯s feelings about a great country are not the same thing as the so-called ¡°big country feelings¡± of Koreans in the future. The Koreans' sentiments about a great country that "overlooks history and opens up new territories through maps" are essentially just a kind of boring obscenity and a hysterical clamor. They have never thought about how to turn their dreams into reality: although the Koreans A large area of ??land in Northeast China and the Russian Far East is claimed to be theirs, but have they ever thought about how to implement this? It seems that let alone a colonial operation, there is not even a rudimentary invasion plan listed!
This shows the so-called "great country sentiment" of Koreans. It is just a self-deceptive spiritual victory method, and I have never even thought of actually putting it into action - the division of the North and South of the Korean Peninsula is still unresolved, and I still hope to cut off the flesh of a powerful country. It can really only be described as death.
On the contrary, the Japanese are a very serious nation. They will not be satisfied with the spiritual victory method like the Koreans. They dare to do what they dare to say - the Yamato court in ancient times claimed to be "the emperor of the sunrise", and then dared to send troops On the Korean Peninsula, he competed with the great army of the Tang Dynasty; Toyotomi Hideyoshi dreamed of conquering China and "moving the emperor to Beijing." They actually sent 200,000 troops and fought fiercely with the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces for eight years; the Japanese in the militaristic era declared that Manchuria was the "lifeline of Manchuria and Mongolia", and then they dared to launch the September 18th Incident. Swallowing the white mountains and black waters of the three northeastern provinces in one gulp; and then proposed a "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", even starting a Pacific War, and at the same time going to war with world powers such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union!
Historically, Japan only needs to be a little stronger internally. will expand externally. After several failures but still not regretting it, it can be said that it is very perseverant.
Of course, even if you have both ambitions and the ability to act in reality, you may not succeed - Toyotomi Hideyoshi's unrealistic expansion dream was disrupted by the famous Korean navy admiral Yi Sunshin and the Ming Dynasty reinforcements. Buoying, but also riding on the foundation of the Toyotomi family. Realizing that their wings were not yet full, the Japanese once again retreated to their islands. Focus on studying traditional arts such as ikebana, tea ceremony, waka and jujitsu.
After another three hundred years, Japan¡¯s era has finally arrived. With the arrival of the black ships and the Meiji Restoration. Japan began to transform itself at a dizzying speed. Businessmen turned into capitalists, and samurai turned into warlords Through two war adventures in which all their bets were bet, Japan succeeded in using small gains to make big gains, and not only overthrew the decadent The Qing Dynasty also repelled the Russian polar bear's peek into the east, thus achieving the status of an internationally recognized great power and officially joining the camp of imperialist powers dividing the world. It was no longer the sick man of Japan who allowed others to bully during the Bakumatsu era!
However, in this cruel world that advocates force and preys on the weak, the Japanese after the Meiji Restoration are still full of a sense of crisis of national subjugation and annihilation. Every knowledgeable Japanese knows that even if the country modernizes, even if it is destroyed, After winning the Russo-Japanese War, Japan, with its extremely limited land resources and strategic depth, will definitely be at an absolute disadvantage in future comprehensive competitions and fierce games with European and American countries.
What should I do if the site is too small? Of course, it is launching a war of external expansion and cutting off the flesh from China, the only soft persimmon and big fat sheep around us!
¡ª¡ªIn the eyes of the modern Japanese ruling class, which considers itself to be shouldering the ¡°sacred mission of leading the global yellow race,¡± Japan¡¯s many innate disadvantages are precisely China¡¯s advantages. If the two can complement each other, as long as China's population, territory, and resources are added to Japan's technology, management, and funds, then it will equal a huge, populous, well-funded, scientifically advanced, and well-organized country that can The superpower that dominates the world!
The only trouble is that China will never be willing to give up everything it has. The only way is to use the knife to rob At this point, the war of aggression against China no longer just represents the glory and martial arts of the soldiers. At the same time, it also means leading the yellow race to save the nation in the face of Western white civilization-in this way, Japan will inevitably embark on a development path of robbery and killing. The main theme of Meiji history, Taisho history and Showa history is a series of conquests and killings in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, which also made Tokyo NineThe Yasukuni Shrine in Saka is always full of incense.
However, the official statement obviously cannot be so straightforward, but must claim that this is for the "co-prosperity of China and Japan" and for the liberation of the suffering Chinese people. Then, Japan will help the Chinese to establish the "Promised Land of Kings" and quickly move towards modernization to catch up with the civilization gap between East Asia and Europe, thereby eliminating the crisis of the yellow race being subjugated and genocide - at least this is what the official say, and it seems that there are many That¡¯s really what the Japanese think.
Of course, the process of Japan "helping" the Chinese to promote modernization must be very painful and many people will die, but this is also a necessary price Anyway, in their view, today's China has long been degenerated into "China". Not only is it backward in terms of system, it is also an inferior nation with backward culture and race. It is also a garbage country that will only become more and more declining. Even if it is not conquered by the Japanese Empire, it will sooner or later be ravaged by the European white people, and eventually the country will be exterminated. It hurts now. Being able to survive in the future is better than not being in pain now and being exterminated in the future.
so. According to Japanese propaganda agencies, before the Imperial Japanese Army killed Chinese people, they still had the consciousness to kill you because they love you. In this case, the Chinese should fully understand Japan's good intentions and difficulties, bow their heads, kneel and surrender before the rising sun flag of the invincible imperial army.
The problem is that the Chinese are not Japanese and do not have the almost perverted "worship of the strong" mentality. It is really impossible to accept this kind of "distorted care" Therefore, the current Emperor Showa is puzzled to find that even in the Japanese Empire, he has received unanimous support from the imperialist powers around the world. After successfully occupying China's northern and southern capitals and the surrounding elite areas, and declaring their unquestionable military power to all Chinese people, there still has not been the expected surrender scene in various parts of China. Not only the Bolsheviks in the south chanted the anti-war slogan loudly, but also other Chinese communists. They are also still fighting against the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan. Even if you are trying to beat a rock with an egg, you must persist until the end!
So far, except for the Nanjing government of Wang Jingwei, who was single-handedly supported by the Japanese army, other local warlords have rejected the olive branch offered by Japan. Even after seeing the painful lesson of Shandong warlord Han Fuqu being overthrown by his pro-Japanese faction, leading to the death of his family, Shanxi's Yan Xishan just continued to waffle in the negotiations, with no intention of handing over his rights and truly surrendering. Instead, he increased his control over the territory. The pro-Japanese faction's purge efforts. As for Shaanxi¡¯s Yang Hucheng and his old rival Zhang Xueliang. They even set up a posture in the Central Plains, claiming to fight the Japanese army to the death. Even the Guangdong warlord Chen Jitang and the Guangxi warlords Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren, who had always cooperated well with Japan in the past. They also said that they were completely unable to recognize Wang Jingwei's Nanjing National Government, let alone accept the direct rule of the Japanese Empire - especially the Gui Army in Guangxi, and even expelled the Japanese instructors they hired in the past!
Such anti-Japanese resistance attitude makes the Japanese find it extremely difficult to understand - according to the experience of Japanese samurai for hundreds of years in civil war, if any force can occupy the two famous cities of Kyoto and Edo at the same time, then the remaining places will be It's almost time to spread the message. When encountering a strong man who cannot resist, decisively choosing to bow his head and surrender is never something to be ashamed of But why are the Chinese people so stubborn?
¡°Alas, you ignorant and inferior Chinese people, why don¡¯t you understand that the Imperial Japanese Army entered China for your own good and wanted you to share the glory of advanced civilization? Moreover, the outcome has been decided long ago, why are you still unwilling to bow your head and admit defeat?
¡°Forget it, since you can¡¯t figure it out, just don¡¯t think about it, just start fighting and let bullets and bayonets do the talking!
Why can¡¯t I sleep? Emperor Showa curled his lips, sat up from the bed with his head full of troubled thoughts, and looked at the hazy Ukiyo-e and China war maps on the wall through the moonlight. Even in the dim light of the night, the small sun flags inserted on the map to represent the occupation and the thick arrows representing the offensive actions of the Imperial Japanese Army were still clearly distinguishable - Xuchang in the Central Plains and Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, two fierce battles The war was in full swing, and progress was not going well. The North China Expedition Army kept asking for reinforcements, while the South China Expedition Army lost face and asked for fire cover from the navy. Coupled with the diplomatic conflicts between European and American powers and the empire regarding this war, the emperor realized that there seemed to be great variables in the previous victory.
Emperor Showa sighed distractedly, got out of bed, came to a shrine next to the wall, knelt down, and prayed silently. He prayed to his ancestors to bless the imperial army to continue their victories, to bless the European and American powers not to change their conniving attitude towards the empire, to bless the Japanese combined fleet that was about to weigh anchor and set out to bombard the Chinese mainland, to have smooth sailing, and to bless the Japanese Empire to land on the mainland and dominate the mainland. The grand blueprint for East Asia should not be turned into a disaster by another mishap on the eve of the final victory.The withered cherry blossoms turned into a shattered yellow dream
However, what Emperor Showa didn't know was that all the imperial hegemony he had brewing in his heart was already destined to come to nothing at this time.
Because, another "black ship" that is about to bury all the ambitions and ambitions of the Japanese Empire is about to knock on Japan's western gate
¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
The remote control command center set up at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport is still bustling with people and brightly lit even in the early morning.
"The infrared remote sensing and radar data detected on the suicide airship have been entered into the computer, and the retrieval of terrain matching has begun"
¡°It was confirmed that the suicide airship passed over the Goto Islands, it is still 40 kilometers away from Sasebo, and it adjusted its course slightly to the north"
"If in the 21st century, a remote-controlled airship was actually allowed to carry a hydrogen bomb and cross the sea to nuclear bomb an enemy country in the dark, it would be a joke. But in this era when radar had not yet been invented and night air defense relied entirely on searchlights and the naked eye, it was already so-so. What's more, in the minds of the Japanese at this time, their homeland was still in a "peaceful era" and they could not even do it at night. There is no concept of air defense.
Therefore, this remote-controlled airship carrying a 20-million-ton hydrogen bomb safely flew across the East China Sea, which is more than 700 kilometers wide, for eight hours And the navigation problem without GPS satellite positioning is also caused by the compass. With the help of instrument and pointing radio beam, a preliminary solution was obtained.
When it was confirmed that the suicide airship had successfully arrived on the west coast of Japan, classmate Wang Qiu, who was sitting in the command center, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but thought that he would soon press the button and send hundreds of thousands or even millions of people away. Going to heaven together, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
Generally speaking, the Chinese people have always been accustomed to leaving room for action. It is said that when a poor enemy is defeated, he must not pursue him, and when he besieges a city, he must lack it. In fact, try not to force others to die. Mercifully letting others live can also avoid forcing your opponents to fight you desperately, and ultimately creating a bad situation in which both parties will lose.
¡°However, the Chinese, who are currently at war with the entire capitalist world, have no room for the Japanese.
Therefore, in order to win the revolution, the Chinese Workers¡¯ and Peasants¡¯ Red Army had to use the most violent form to teach the enemy the most painful lesson! The thought of invading China will make any enemy tremble from the very marrow Wang Qiu thought this while pressing the red button.
"Confirm the approach over Sasebo, activate the fuse, enter the 90-second countdown, 90, 89 3, 2, 1, 0, detonate!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
