    What¡¯s interesting is that among the forces that advocated non-hostile relations with China, Ishihara Kanji, who later became a backbone of the Imperial Road faction, actually contributed a lot. This is nothing short of a huge irony.

    Known as "Japan's number one military strategist," Kanji Ishihara is a very calm-minded soldier, which is different from other Japanese military staff officers who like to make people crazy.  He understands Chinese. Although he is not as familiar with China as Ito Hirobumi, he maintains the simplest understanding of China.  Through his long-term personal experience in China, he believes that the idea that China can be conquered only in a short-term decisive battle is very wrong:

    "China has a high degree of civilization since ancient times, and its material life is extremely primitive. Each place has a high degree of self-sufficiency. These have become extremely favorable conditions for a protracted war. If a war breaks out, it is possible that China will be forced to fight a decisive battle, but it will  Whether it will turn into a protracted war depends mainly on China's intentions."

    He has a clear understanding of China and opposes the relatively established domestic views: ¡°Until the Meiji Restoration, China was feared as an advanced country in Asia. The Japanese thought that China was an old and decrepit country since they defeated China in the Sino-Japanese War.  country and look down upon it.¡±

    Through personal research in China, he believes that China has undergone earth-shaking changes under the leadership of the People's Party and has lost its strategic advantage over China at this time.

    Even if you can¡¯t be friends, don¡¯t be enemies, this is Ishihara Wanji¡¯s view.  Both China and the Soviet Union have become major land powers. Japan cannot defeat these two giants even with all its strength. The expansion direction of the Yamato nation can only be at sea.  At present, the power of Britain and the United States in the Pacific and Southeast Asia is very weak.

    It¡¯s a pity that there are not many politicians in Japan who can have his kind of strategic vision.

    In fact, the Chinese also have strategic problems, which are "more war worries and less strategic rationality" and "more strategic completion and less strategic development."  Perhaps, the foreign aggression of Di Yi is the biggest enemy that the introverted China has encountered. Confucian culture is actually a kind of conservative rather than progressive. The inertia formed over thousands of years makes it difficult for China to have the motivation to pay attention to the outside world, even in the  After opening your eyes to see the world.

    Zhang Hanqing¡¯s analysis of China is objective and fair, and his views on Japan are naturally not biased.  In his view, strategy requires philosophy, and Japan does not have philosophy.

    Counting over Japan, let alone Chairman Mao, there are not even outstanding commanders like Liu Bocheng, Peng Dehuai, and Deng Xiaoping.

    Yamamoto Isoroku is an alternative to the Japanese army. More than 70 years ago, he knew about aerial determinism and seemed to have touched the essence of modern warfare.  In fact, this magical stroke was just the result of his impulse. He did not understand the epoch-making significance of his original tactics. He still set his sights on big guns and giant ships.

    Not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan built the world's largest battleship "Yamato". On the contrary, the Americans, who were beaten to pieces by Japan, captured the light of victory from the disastrous defeat.

    During the Meiji period, most of the Japanese names were heroic, such as Ito Hirobumi (a gentleman who is knowledgeable in literature), Yamagata Aritomo (a friend comes from afar), Natsume Soseki (a pillow that washes stones), Okuma Shigenobu (the people will not stand without faith), Miya.  Qi Taotian At the beginning of the 20th century, Mao Weiren, who was still a middle school student, wrote him a letter and called him "Mr. Bailang Taotian".

    Later, there was a word that "the heavy rain fell down the swallow, and Bai Lang was heer" was inspired by this, but Mao must have noticed the extraordinary name of the Japanese name, otherwise he would not call that.

    But these sonorous names are far away from today¡¯s Japanese.

    Strategic duel is actually a pattern duel and a spiritual duel.  At this point, Japan is far behind.  A country that cannot clearly understand the other party, nor can it seriously dissect itself, but only relies on luck and gambles on the fate of the country to make political judgments and operations. Such a country will cover up the problems when things are going smoothly, but once the core problems break out  , there will be the risk of national subjugation.

    Only a fool would ally with such a country.

    Strictly speaking, in the official history, Japan can only show off against the backward China. When facing the United States and the Soviet Union, which have much stronger industrial capabilities, it immediately becomes clear that its backwardness in tactics and weapons is different from that of old China and its  The contrast is consistent.  When the Republic of China under the leadership of Zhang Hanqing develops, especially in the foreseeable future, China will be on par with the United States and the Soviet Union. Japan and she are not of the same size.

    Even now, the equipment of the vast majority of China's army is no worse than that of the Japanese army.  Due to the numerical advantage, Zhang Hanqing dared to fight with it.  Although he said it tactfully, the visiting Japanese dignitaries were all smart people and they naturally understood what he meant.

    Chang Tso-lam's government "stubbornly" refused to recognize the Central PlainsBorrowing money, rejecting the Boxer Indemnity for Sino-Japanese cultural "goodwill" and embarrassing the Japanese government in front of the great powers, and now rejecting the Sino-Japanese military alliance proposal, this made the Japanese elites present very unhappy.  It seems that the Zhang family and his son are determined to be enemies of Japan!

    Nagata Tieshan said displeasedly: "Mr. Marshal, I know you have millions of troops under your command now, and I'm afraid this is where your confidence lies. But please note that the Empire of Japan just did not arm its people! As long as we  If you are willing, you can mobilize four or five times your elite divisions at any time! In Asia, we absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of a government that is unfriendly to Japan!

    Japan-China friendship and the establishment of a political and military group that shares weal and woe including China, Mongolia, North Korea, and Taiwan are beneficial to everyone. Why do you always oppose it?  With the support of the Japanese government, China can completely achieve national reunification like Japan. Isn't this the goal you have always claimed?  "

    Zhang Hanqing said sternly: "Mr. Nagata needs to correct a common-sense mistake: Mongolia and Taiwan are both inseparable parts of China's territory and should not be treated side by side with China! And as long as China is willing, it can always be armed ten or twenty times more than it is currently  of military strength.

    If you remember correctly, Mr. Nagata is very knowledgeable about military mobilization. If China must enter a state of war, our mobilization population and scale will make Mr. Nagata unable to sleep!

    As for Sino-Japanese relations, Mr. Nagata, maybe you misunderstood me.  We are willing to establish political and economic relations of cooperation and mutual assistance with all countries that are friendly to China, which naturally includes Japan.  As you said, Japan's military power is so powerful that we are embarrassed to join a military alliance with you. Isn't this a drag on you?  "

    He smiled slyly: "This is the embodiment of Sino-Japanese friendship!"

    Zhang Hanqing¡¯s prickly and ¡°genuine¡± rejection really left Nagata Tieshan with no excuses.  The Japanese have had too many dealings with the Zhangs and their sons. Faced with such a powerful overlord who doesn't look down on them, there really is no other way to use except the use of force - but are people really afraid of using force?  At least they didn't come here to declare the use of force.

    During eight years of exchanges, the Japanese government has found out Zhang Hanqing's true identity clearly: he is a staunch Chinese nationalist, has unique economic insights, and is good at managing complex and changeable politics.  The situation has united a large number of brave and capable senior officers in their many years of military career.

    This is a difficult opponent with an extremely repulsive attitude towards Japan, and he is one of the few people in China who despises Japan's strength.  The "protracted war" theory he proposed was feared by Japan's military and political leaders, who believed that it touched Japan's sore spot. This was one of the important reasons why Japan did not dare to expand it in previous conflicts and had to find a compromise.

    Seeing that it was going to be an unhappy separation again, King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace couldn't help but get angry.  He is a typical soldier, so he does not speak in the euphemisms commonly used by diplomats.  But precisely because of his royal status, his words carry great weight:

    "General Zhang, with all due respect, a group of rabble cannot defeat well-trained warriors! If the outcome was determined by population, you would not have so many famous battles in ancient China where a small number defeated a large number. China  You won¡¯t sign so many treaties with foreign countries! The officers of the Japanese Empire have experienced the baptism of blood and fire before they became real soldiers. You became a general at such a young age. Your Chinese generals must be very good.  Is it easy to be a kid?"

    These words made everyone in the venue change their minds, and even Japan¡¯s heart sank.  The Japanese are a bit arrogant in China, but they won't be so shameless in front of a distinguished person like Lao Xiao Zhang. After all, they are still people of status. If they really fall out, what can you do to them?  However, King Asaka Palace Kohihiko is a member of the royal family, and the words have been spoken and cannot be undone.

    On the Chinese side, no matter how young he is, Zhang Hanqing serves as Chairman of the People's Party, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Party, and Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army.

    The Lord was worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and his direct subordinates Jiang Baili and Guo Songling were indignant; as loyal supporters of the successor of the Fengxi, Sun Liechen, the veteran commander of the Fengxi, and Wang Yongjiang, an important political think tank and official, also looked bad.

    Of course, Zhang Zuolin¡¯s face was even worse. No matter how ferocious the Japanese were, they couldn¡¯t be so arrogant as to slap him in the face like this!

    In an instant, Zhang Hanqing almost got angry and hit someone, but the long-term cultivation of Qi allowed him to endure it.  It's not that I don't dare, it's extremely disrespectful to take action because of disagreement. This is extremely rude in diplomacy and it is very likely to cause a major incident, especially when the opponent is an important royal family.

    ¡°But he must say this tone, otherwise the Japanese who got the advantage will take advantage of it, and they don¡¯t know what bad things they will say.

    As for the impact, the current relationship between China and Japan is like fighting a wolf - both sides are afraid, and it is okay to have conflicts, but it will not be good for anyone if it gets bigger, so Zhang Hanqing is not afraid.

    It is disrespectful to come back and not reciprocate. It is not Zhang Hanqing's style to swallow this.  He had already suppressed his smile and said word by word: "We have a saying in China, which is called 'grandfather in a rocking car, grandson on crutches.' What's wrong with being young? As far as I know, your emperor is very young. It seems that in  It must be easy to be the emperor in your country?"
