Chapter 3637 Transformation Concept
Meng Shaoyuan used the word "rule".
Most people will use occupation or conquest.
But he chose to use domination.
In fact, everyone knows that occupied territory must be ruled.
But most people won't say it directly.
Because this shows his identity as a colonizer.
This kind of thing of being both responsible and established exists in all dynasties and all generations.
However, Meng Shaoyuan has never been a good person.
He knew very well what kind of person the commander sitting in front of him, a five-star general of the Army, was like, and what his future path was like.
Soon, MacArthur would leave the Philippines and become the Emperor of Japan.
During the years when he ruled Japan, he had a very smooth life.
A few years later, during the war that shocked the world, MacArthur arrogantly shouted an arrogant declaration to end the war before Christmas.
The end result was that he was severely slapped in the face.
The song "Mighty and high-spirited" will also inspire countless generations of people in a country.
Meng Shaoyuan had no way to change this major historical trend.
But he could at least quietly influence MacArthur and make his path go even more awry.
"Charles." MacArthur said, "You have dealt with many Japanese, and you are a hero in the U.S. military. And Peter Lin always described your abilities to me over and over again. Yes.
Do you have any good opinions on the upcoming final battle?"
MacArthur had received a secret notice to prepare to command the war against Japan, but only a few people except the top officials knew about this order.
This is also the reason why MacArthur did not enter Manila.
He must devote all his energy to fighting Japan.
In the Philippines, he was once the king.
And if you go to Japan, it will undoubtedly be a joy to be able to continue this identity.
Before the war broke out, he didn't have much ill feelings toward the Japanese.
However, a war completely changed his view of the Japanese.
Charles Meng is a very capable person.
Whether it was his previous lurking in the Japanese army, the shocking rescue, or the subsequent war, Charles Mondo showed his extraordinary talent.
After he served as the top military commander of the US military in Manila, he also performed admirably and managed the city in an orderly manner.
Then, Peter Lin, whom MacArthur trusted most, always praised Charles Meng in front of him.
Of course, there is the most important point.
Charles Meng was more than just a soldier.
He has many powerful friends in politics and business.
And this is also a very important reason why MacArthur likes the other party.
Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Commander, although the war in the Philippines is not over yet, this is not what we need to worry about anymore. Those rats hiding in the jungle will soon be wiped out. You can completely eliminate them."
The main focus is on the final blow against Japan.
I can say frankly that I still have a strong say in the country of Japan. This is a despicable, cruel country that cannot be viewed by normal humans. If possible, I suggest that this country be completely destroyed.
Countries wiped from the face of the earth.
Of course, this is just a beautiful fantasy of mine, and it is basically impossible to do this. However, when we rule this country, we cannot follow the old experience of the past. Especially the experience of the colonies in the past, frankly
That said, it is not suitable in Japan."
MacArthur became interested when he heard this: "Charles, can you be more specific?"
Be specific?
In fact, MacArthur did quite well.
If we must make an evaluation, then, "MacArthur, as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, was also the absolute ruler of a country with 75 million people. He was a dictator, a colonial governor, and a general during the Japanese shogunate period.
, is the Russian Tsar.”
This evaluation is undoubtedly the most objective.
"First of all, it's their emperor." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Japan is a country that is extremely superstitious about the emperor and the spirit of Bushido. Regardless of men, women, old or young, everyone's thoughts are filled with the extreme idea of breaking up for the emperor. This
If the idea is not eradicated, there is still a huge danger.
Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that the first thing you do after arriving in Japan is to prohibit the Japanese government from protecting and supporting national Shinto; prohibit the popularization of Shinto as a state religion. Let the core of Japan's ultra-nationalism, the idea of emperor worship, and national power
Complete separation.
Although this cannot completely transform Japan, it is at least a good start. Your Majesty the Emperor, Commander, I strongly suggest that you show the arrogance of a conqueror and occupier in front of him. Yes, I think I don’t.
Wrong, arrogant."
He paused briefly before continuing: "We must completely shatter Japan's so-called self-esteem and turn Japan into a country with no dignity at all from top to bottom."
Unfortunately, Meng Shaoyuan also knew very well that even though he said so, there were some things that he still could not completely change.
In the past six years, from 1945 to 1951, MacArthur carried out drastic changes in Japan and also carried out gentle appeasement.
Many Japanese people seem to feel that society has returned to the shogunate era. Japan's economy, people's livelihood, including technology, have developed rapidly with the support of the United States.
For eighty years, under the influence of the policies formulated by MacArthur, Japan has been closely following the United States. Although it has lost its diplomatic independence, it has become an important strategic fulcrum of the United States in the Far East.
But it is undeniable that the Japanese people have indeed benefited from MacArthur's series of reform policies.
During his six-year reign, MacArthur could be regarded as the controller of Japan's absolute authority, and even commanded Emperor Hirohito. The ruler who was once regarded as a god was reduced to a mortal at his feet.
In addition, MacArthur also occupied Setsuko Hara, Japan's number one actress at the time, and thoroughly enjoyed the life of the "Emperor" who intertwined power and temptation.
However, what I have to do now is to unknowingly influence MacArthur little by little, so that this "Emperor" can plant one, or several, or dozens of mines in Japan?
And when necessary, these mines will explode, subtly affecting Japan in the future?
