The debate in the American political arena is caused by "Ling Chi".
Xuebingjun Lingchi executed Hisao Tani, Mukai Toshiaki, and Noda Takeshi. Needless to say, it was very popular, but it also gave Japan an excuse to criticize the Xuebingjun internationally. Frankly speaking, Lingchi's punishment was against humanity. If it were peacetime, it would definitely be criticized unanimously by the international community and even trigger a series of diplomatic incidents. However, in the wartime, there are Nanyuan and Shantouzi Village massacres before them. The Japanese want to To use this as an excuse to attack the international prestige of the Xuebing Army and achieve its ulterior motives is only to bring humiliation to oneself.
Needless to say, the Japanese did this with good intentions. On the other hand, they were forced to do so. Xuebingjun has cooperative relationships with many large companies in the United States, and Gu Lianyun, the representative of Xuebingjun in the United States, has a good personal relationship with the Roosevelt family of US President. , and in this war of the century, China is the obvious victim, so the United States, from the government to the people, is unanimously sympathetic to China. Therefore, although Japan also has spokespersons in the United States, its influence is not equal to that at all. For those who support the student army, since last year, U.S. foreign policy has been increasingly tilted toward China. With the opening of the long-distance route from Hong Kong to New York, business exchanges between American civilians and the student army have become more frequent, and the U.S. government The relationship with the Xuebing Army is getting closer and closer, which makes Japan feel threatened. You must know that many of the military raw materials Japan currently needs rely on imports from the United States.
It was under this general situation that Japan's spokesperson made a fuss about the "Ling Chi" issue, which immediately triggered a major debate in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
If I had to use a more popular term to describe the so-called democratic politics in the West, it would be noisy politics. The Japanese spokesperson used "Ling Chi" to talk about it. The reason is that it represents the regression of human civilization and is a negative impact on modern civilized society* Naked challenge, and took out a few photos of Hisao Tani being tortured by Lingchi, "Everyone, please note that the person in the photo who is undergoing Lingchi's torture is not an ordinary person, he is a former Japanese Army 6th Division division Chief, a lieutenant general,.”
The photo of Hisao Tani being beaten was taken by Ouyang Yun with permission. Since he wanted to shock, how could he not leave a corresponding image?
Before the Japanese spokesperson could speak, he was interrupted by a congressman who was pro-study of Bingjun (the word pro-study of Bingjun seems a bit awkward, so that’s what it means). The Japanese spokesperson just took out a few photos, but this congressman He said, "White, do you mean that generals should be superior to civilians? Have you forgotten that in front of God, all living beings are equal, and no one is nobler than anyone else. Everyone, are you watching a traitor who has committed a crime?" Before taking pictures of criminals for crimes against humanity being punished, please take a look at this stack of photos. I need to state that these photos were taken by our New York Times reporter, Braun, an American citizen. Everyone, please be honest. I am not an sentimental person, but when I saw these photos, I was shocked and shed enough tears to fill a bathtub. Sir, please don’t laugh, I am very serious... …”
Some of the photos taken by this congressman have been published in newspapers. Of course, due to various reasons, the tragedy that occurred in a small town on the other side of the ocean did not make the front page of mainstream newspapers in the United States. Therefore, many congressmen here are When they saw it for the first time, there was no doubt that they were immediately shocked. Many people shed tears on the spot, even if the tears were just for other people to see.
As a result, the Japanese spokesperson shot himself in the foot. The discussion about Lingchi changed direction and turned into whether we should continue to export strategic resources to Japan, a country with no humanity. For various reasons, this debate did not ultimately take place. It was a clear programmatic resolution, but because it had already sent out a signal, it caused panic among Japan's top brass.
On March 13, a meeting of unprecedented scale and extraordinary significance was being held in a conference room of the Military Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. The reason why it was said to be of unprecedented scale was because the participants were all big bosses with backgrounds in the landing navy. Among them, The Commander-in-Chief of Japan's Military Command, Prince Fushimi Miyahiro, and Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi are sitting in the middle. Behind them, on the left are Yamamoto Isoroku, Hasegawa Kiyoshi, Okaku Sumio, Inoue Narumi, Shimada Shitaro, Toyoda Sadjiro, and Vice President Toyoda. Takeshi, Furumine Kaichi, and on the right are Tojo Hideki, Sugiyama Gen, Hata Shunroku, Umezu Yoshijiro, Nishio Hiszo, Matsui Iwane, Itagaki Seishiro, Okamura Neiji, which is of extraordinary significance because of its arrangement. This is the first time that the position order has happened, that is, the admiral actually sat on the left,
The meeting was initiated by Prince Fushimi Miyahiro and Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, and the seats were arranged by them through consultation. This made Tojo Hideki and other army generals look angry, but at the same time, it was difficult to break out on the spot and hold a meeting of this scale. It is not an easy task. It is easy to recruit navy generals, but many army generals have to be recalled from China. This is why Tojo Hideki and other army generals choose to endure it temporarily.
There are two topics at the meeting. The first is how to deal with the possible refusal of the United States to sell strategic resources, and the second is to formulate a new China strategy. This is also the main reason why Okamura Neiji was able to attend this meeting. As for Okamura Neiji Why was it possible to break out of Xue Yue's Ninth Theater? This can only be asked by Jiang in Chongqing. Just as the Japanese army and navy had their own plans and discord for a long time, Jiang also always had Without truly devoting himself wholeheartedly to the national war of resistance, Okamura Neiji miraculously led hundreds of people out of the encirclement of the Ninth Theater Zone. Although he was immediately removed from his position as commander of the 11th Army, he never Judging from his ability to attend a meeting of this caliber, he seems to have a chance to make a comeback.
The Japanese army's encirclement and suppression of the Xuebing Army, which began with the complete defeat of the southern front troops of the South China Front, could no longer be maintained. More than half a million troops were mobilized at a time, and three aircraft carrier fleets wanted to solve the scourge of the Xuebing Army in one fell swoop. They were determined not to It can be said that it was not a big deal, but the result was counterproductive. The Army lost more than 200,000 troops at once, which has shaken its foundation. Although the Navy also suffered heavy losses, because the three aircraft carrier fleets were not damaged, it was only slightly damaged at best. It's just a traumatic injury, one waxes and wanes. In today's meeting, the seats of the navy and the army were shaken.
The meeting was chaired by Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, and the secretary was a "divine man" whom many generals had heard of but met for the first time, Koizumi Minichiro.
Koizumi Toshiichiro quickly established his reputation due to Yamamoto Isoroku's tireless recommendation. Yamamoto Isoroku often "recommended the notes", and each of his memorials had something to say and pointed out the shortcomings of the current affairs and military affairs of the empire. Hirohito "I am deeply comforted." He praised Yamamoto lavishly, and Yamamoto took the opportunity to say that this was Koizumi's contribution. As a result, the name Koizumi Minichiro spread like wildfire, and he gradually became a rising star in the Japanese military.
The Japanese have always been a nation that likes to engage in personality worship. With Yamamoto as his guide and Koizumi himself as a real person, it is difficult for him not to become famous. Koizumi has been focusing on two tasks recently, one is the development of new fighter jets. , and the other is the manufacturing of new aircraft carriers. At the same time, the development of new Japanese combat vehicles was also influenced by him. It gave up its usual East Asian characteristics and began to follow the international route.
Two time travelers appeared in one time and space, and they both advocated the theory of aircraft carrier invincibility. This is not so much an accident as an inevitability. Be it Ouyang Yun or Koizumi Toshiichiro, two people traveled through time with a clear purpose. In the past, their respective ultimate pursuits were to enable their country to stand tall among the nations of the world for a long time. Naturally, they wanted to build an armed force that could maintain deterrence for a long time. How could the time and space where they lived be? The most powerful armed force is the Dark Blue Navy of a certain scale.
Both time travelers were aware of the threat from the other side, and both wanted to eliminate each other through abnormal means. However, after a fight, Koizumi Toshiichiro, who had a weak foundation, was defeated. Not to mention becoming the youngest eunuch of this century, he almost... I even lost my life,
Xiaoquan is not dead, and the contest between the two time travelers will definitely continue. After becoming an eunuch, Xiaoquan's temperament changed drastically. He was no longer as out-of-the-box and arrogant as before, and began to become pragmatic and low-key. And his change, for Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army were not in trouble. The Japanese army was defeated in northern Jiangxi, eastern Fujian, and southwestern Fujian. The whole country was shocked. Only one person was secretly happy. It was Koizumi who created a powerful deep blue navy and defeated the United States. Many people may not understand Koizumi's ultimate dream, because based on historical understanding, China and Japan are mortal enemies. It seems that the one he wants to defeat most is China. This is not the case. China is certainly Japan's mortal enemy. But Japan's most powerful enemy is not China, but the United States. You must know that Japan before Koizumi traveled there still had a number of U.S. troops stationed in it. There was a foreign army stationed on the country's territory, and it was said that it could win over the other side. protection from aggression by other countries, but in fact, Japan is already an occupied country.
Yamamoto Isoroku obeyed Koizumi's words, and the construction of the Japanese navy was able to change in the right direction. However, this was not enough. The army controlled the military headquarters, and it was impossible for the navy to obtain sufficient resources. At this time, the army suffered A huge defeat, almost a quarter of the troops were lost at once, and the senior army officials collectively lost their voices. Koizumi Toshiichiro was first surprised and then happy. He immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity for a navy man to take over the military department. Then, it happened to coincide with the U.S. Senate The two houses of Congress debated the issue of "Lingchi", and then news came out that was not conducive to Japan, so there was this meeting of high standards and extraordinary significance.
