    Due to the growth of its anti-Japanese power, China's policy towards Japan has also undergone subtle changes: the anti-Japanese hardliners, led by Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing and their sons, have become more and more powerful. Even Wu Junsheng, who has always been afraid of Japan, has also changed his stance.  mouth, leading public opinion in Congress to open fire on the Japanese-occupied Kanto Prefecture.

    In the daily work of the government, how to return Kanto Prefecture to the country is also the focus of Japan policy.

    It¡¯s just that China¡¯s development in recent years is a bit like an upstart. The growth index looks good. However, due to long-term bullying by foreign powers, China still lacks external confidence.  Nearly half a century of shackles has resulted in a poor industrial foundation, a small base, and a late start. There is still a certain gap between Japan and a large country that has accumulated industrial revolutions for decades.

    As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Japan¡¯s ability to defeat polar bears in one corner is certainly a well-deserved reputation.

    Considering that the country's economy has just got on the right track, and there is still a big gap in industrial strength with the old imperialist powers such as Britain, France, and Germany, and it is even different from the United States, so the Republic of China government still chose the general direction.  Low profile.

    As a guide, Zhang Hanqing summarized China's foreign policy in the future with a sixteen-character policy: "hide your strength, bide your time, immerse yourself in development, do something, and do something not to do."

    Japan formulated a "perfect" mainland policy a century ago, and has always regarded the Far East and North Korea as its "lifeline." Therefore, the continuation of the government's policy and the spirit of the people have placed a tight curse on "Manchuria"  , becoming an irresistible force.

    It is easy to seize Kwantung by force. In Zhang Zuolin's words, "the two hundred thousand Northeastern Army still won't let these tens of thousands of Kwantung Army make dumplings"?  However, the Japanese people cannot bear the loss of the soul that symbolizes the Japanese Empire. China and Japan will inevitably have a war in advance, which the nascent Republic of China government cannot bear.

    Of course, in the current situation where China's power far exceeds that of official history and the country's industrial and transportation capabilities are getting stronger and stronger, the variables of whether Japan dares to launch a war that is destined to be protracted are getting smaller and smaller, at least it does not currently meet this condition;  China's capital to deal with this war is accumulating, and its confidence is increasing.

    "The inability to take the initiative to start a war does not mean that we can sit back and watch Japan's development and expansion in Kanto."  After the old Feng clique firmly restricted Japanese influence along the South Manchuria Railway in 1922, the Zhang Zuolin government became increasingly strict in controlling the iron ore, coal mines, forests, and farmland in the Northeast, and there were already many cases of Japanese insurrection.  Crossing the border and going deep into Northeast China, he was beaten to death by "unknown persons".

    In response to this, the Chinese government issued a statement based on the 1922 declaration, accusing the Japanese government of being unable to constrain its citizens to abide by the border, resulting in this dispute.  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly reiterated: "Japanese people cannot be tolerated to illegally cross the border, and therefore the safety of illegally entering Japanese nationals in China cannot be guaranteed."

    The people of Northeast China have made a lot of work and sacrifices for the liberation of Kanto Prefecture. After the "May 30th Movement", Chinese people in major Japanese industrial and mining enterprises in Northeast China have resigned and transferred to state-owned enterprises, causing Japanese enterprises in Northeast China to encounter the second crisis.  A "labor shortage".

    With the government of the Republic of China tightening its control over the mining industry in Northeast China and its constraints on Japanese companies, it has become difficult for Japan to expand reproduction in the Northeast.  The opening of the Jingjia Line not only diverted the passenger and freight traffic of the South Manchuria Railway, greatly reducing its strategic impact on China, but also caused a slight change in Japan's domestic policy towards China.

    As we all know, since 1924, in order to get rid of its economic difficulties, Japan's former foreign minister has pursued a "coordinated diplomacy" of compromise with the United Kingdom and the United States and an economic aggression policy of avoiding force against China as much as possible.

    Because China¡¯s national power has grown, people¡¯s sense of identity and mission for the country has also grown simultaneously. It was this year that the famous poet Wen Yiduo wrote his famous ¡°Song of the Seven Sons.¡±  Regarding Japan, a call was made to the Chinese people to reclaim the Japanese-occupied Kanto Prefecture:

    ¡°We are twin brothers from Lushun and Dalian.

    How should our fate be compared?

    Two strong neighbors kicked me back and forth,

    We are two lumps of mud at the feet of the mob.

    Mother, the return date has come, please bring us back quickly.

    You don¡¯t know how much we miss you!

    Mother!  We want to come back, mother!  "

    The "unfriendly" behavior of the Chinese people and the increasingly tough attitude of the Chinese government have made Japan's "continental policy" that has lasted for nearly a century gradually become illusory: Japan has always regarded the East Asian continent as its lifeline, and originally wanted to use North Korea  This was a springboard to integrate Northeast China and eastern Inner Mongolia to establish a pro-Japanese Manchuria-Mongolia government (this was also done historically) and use its resources to lay the foundation for supporting Japan's expansion.

    After the Meiji Restoration, Japan embarked on the road to a modern industrialized country. "Japan is surrounded by the sea. If it is attacked by the navy, it will be easy to attack and difficult to defend. If you are on an islandAfter the signing of the Treaty of Washington and the post-World War I situation, Japan later revised its "Imperial Defense Policy" for the third time and judged the United States as the number one imaginary enemy. The war between Japan and the United States has since embarked on a path of no return.

    China at this stage is no longer the same as in the past, and the situation has become much better for China than in history: when China has appropriately demonstrated its national strength and national will, Japan has become at a loss when it wants to covet mainland territory.

    After a large-scale, protracted and unpredictable national war is destined to occur, it is really a 50-50 decision whether the Japanese government has the confidence to support the two wars of aggression against China initiated by certain military personnel in the future.

    ¡°As long as Japan is involved in the vortex of being tough on the United States, it will be China¡¯s luck.  After all, with a few more years of buffering time, China can naturally regain its strength and regain its glory as a great power.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
