    ??

    Reducing military spending is understandable: military spending will inevitably affect financial reinvestment and is a natural enemy of economic development.  Without the military, conquering Nanyang by force would naturally be an empty talk, and there would be no need to make such plans.

    War and economic development are two ends of the same train. Unless, like the United States in later generations, it has allies as cannon fodder and huge post-war profits as motivation for war, no country that resorts to militarism will eventually be buckled by this.

    With the weakening of one's own military strength, one must become friends with countries with strong military strength, such as the declining British Empire.  If you want to compete with the strong, you must have equal strength.  In the Western Pacific, no country has stronger naval power than Britain, France, and the United States, and it is imperative to keep pace with the strong.

    Letting officials with civilian backgrounds serve as advisers to the emperor is a good move to break the influence of the royal family and nobles who monopolize the emperor's decision-making circle. They hope to change Japan's tradition of military dictatorship.  But why did Emperor Taisho's concessions involve Hirohito?  Even his education issue is used as a bargaining chip?

    The royal family and nobles believed that the root cause of the "Taisho Coup" lay with the emperor, and that it was his laziness and lack of decision-making ability that led to the crisis of imperial power.  Therefore, when Hirohito was only 70 days old, he was fostered in the home of a retired naval admiral and received a "bushido" education. He was then trained by teachers from a specialized "royal academy" with the purpose of creating a qualified autocratic monarch for the future.  Imperial power can make a comeback.

    The only good thing for China during this period was that Japan basically held a "non-interference" stance towards the development of Zhang Zuolin and his family in Northeast China - it was unable to interfere and had no clear political thinking. In addition, Zhang Hanqing and the people he controlled  The conglomerates are inextricably linked to the chaebols behind various Japanese political parties. It can be said that the Feng Feng clique can develop faster and more violently because of the tacit approval of the Japanese chaebols who have benefited.

    They all want to maintain the existing relationship - everyone makes money. Isn't it better to make money by being friendly than by fighting?  Because of this, the still-insignificant Kwantung Army and the Japanese military could only watch helplessly as the old and young Zhangs gradually encroached on small and medium-sized forces and expanded their territory. When they found that the People's Army and the Feng faction were invincible, they could not start the war lightly.

    During World War I, Japan¡¯s national strength was not yet strong enough to compete with the great powers. However, Japan was still eager to join the club of great powers without overestimating its capabilities, even if it had a reputation of being militaristic.

    Representatively, by the end of World War I, the total number of standing divisions of the Japanese Army had expanded to 21, and the Navy was also carrying out the "Eighty-Eight Fleet" plan, which had exceeded the limits that Japan, a de facto small country, could afford.  .

    According to the famous saying of Soros, the international financial tycoon of later generations: "A declining superpower that has lost its political and economic dominance still has absolute military superiority is a dangerous mixture." Losing its absolute economic advantage over China  Japan, which is excluded from emerging countries such as the United States in terms of status and politics, is in danger. Japan's historical and traditional military interference in politics may bring the country to the brink of collapse.

    Especially China, which was once defeated by its subordinates, turned over like a prairie fire from all sides and established a strong government in the ruins.  Under the leadership of the People's Party, the new government of the Republic of China has brought China's politics and economy, which had been dormant for many years, to a very glorious height. Starting from the reform in Fengtian, it has triumphed all the way, making ancient China rejuvenated.

    Starting from 1923, when the government's disposable finances were flat, in just one year, China's disposable finances, including the poor provinces in southwest China, were close to 1.5 times that of Japan; in 1925, they reached 1.76 times, and by the end of 1926, they reached more than twice  .

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Based on this solid military industry foundation, the Chinese People's Army is unprecedentedly powerful.

    Various sources indicate that the Chinese People's Army has regarded the Imperial Japanese Army as its imaginary enemy, keeping pace with the enemy in terms of numbers and catching up in terms of equipment.

    According to Zhang Hanqing's plan at the beginning of the year, starting from 1927, the plan to increase firepower was first completed in the five main armies: combat defense artillery was transferred to the company, and a double-squad artillery platoon with 4 combat defense artillery was added at the company level; the plan was cancelled.  The battle defense artillery battery of the infantry regiment was changed to a 75mm field artillery battery with certain attack capabilities;

    Gradually add an anti-aircraft artillery regiment to each infantry division to make up for the weakness of the air force and prepare for the future development of the world's air force; the military artillery regiments of each army will be equipped with 125mm heavy howitzers¡ª¡ªalready  The army equipped with about 10 105mm howitzer regiments will all be re-equipped at the end.

    This is taking into account the development trend of 125mm and the willfulness of car towing.

    In this way, a division of the People's Army will have 54 howitzers, 18 field guns, and 81 60mm mortars, so as to fight against the Japanese??As subjects of the Emperor All this begins with the annexation of China.  "How great is the ambition of this sea snake? It not only wants to swallow China, but also the world, and takes all the wealth in the world as its own!

    Is this a personal fanaticism?  The Japanese believe that this is the highest interest of the entire Japanese nation.  Otherwise, how can war criminals enjoy the Yasukuni Shrine amid global condemnation?

    ¡°But the Japanese are also born politicians, shameless and powerful.  From top to bottom, no one has ever spoken out about the benefits that this kind of plunder has brought to Japan. Instead, they have mostly promoted the advantages of Japan's national character, as if its economic take-off fell from the sky overnight.  As the saying goes, heroes do not care about their origins, and history is written by the victors.

    For example, Shigeru Yoshida, Japan's most famous post-war Prime Minister in history, wrote "A Hundred Years of Turbulence" in passionate language in his later years. In the book, he vividly summarized how the Japanese nation overcame difficulties, had a far-sighted vision, and was brave and enterprising.  , good at learning and pursuing perfection.

    He said that the Japanese nation "has a professional spirit that strives for perfection. Unless you do nothing, you must do your best in whatever you do. This is deeply rooted in the blood of the Japanese nation. This is the result of Japan's Meiji Restoration and post-war economic miracle.  , the main reason why China has become the world¡¯s second most powerful economic power.¡±
