"Haha, we've met again. It turned out to be an old friend." Xuan Jianzhang was very happy to find that the arrested Japanese officer was Saigo Congdao.

Xixiang saw Xuan Jianzhang in the Dao and looked ashamed. This was the second time he fell into Xuan Jianzhang's hands. He heard that his brother Xixiang Ryosheng was also captured alive by Xuan Jianzhang three or four times, "General Xuan."

Xuan Jianzhang did not show his expression of contempt for Xixiang Congdao, "No need to do this, we are all old friends, and there are both losses and losses on the battlefield."

"Yes." Xixiang's confiscated for a long time, and could only use the word "Yes". I don't know if I will be released if I am arrested this time. He knew the discipline of the Chinese army. After being arrested, I will first have to undergo labor reform for three years.

"Take it down." Xuan Jianzhang waved his hand. He said this to Saigo Congdao only because of his old acquaintance. Otherwise, he would rarely talk to prisoners.

"Wait a minute, general. What is a defeated general? But I still have something to say to the general." Saigo Congdao suddenly remembered something.

Xuan Jianzhang smiled indifferently, thinking that Xixiang wanted to be released, "What's the matter?"

"General, although the combat effectiveness, weapons, equipment, tactics, and soldiers' training qualities of your Chinese army are much higher than those of the Japanese government army, it is unjust for you to seize our territory. No matter how long we Japanese fight, unless all of us die, we will never give up."

Xuan Jianzhang and Li Hongzhang had discussed this issue a long time ago. The Chinese army had publicity measures within it, and there were publicity measures among the Chinese people who moved to Jiuzhou Island. Therefore, Xuan Jianzhang did not know how to answer this question.

"Do you rarely care about news? Even if the Japanese official blocked the news we sent to the main island of Japan, you are a senior officer, and it is impossible for you to be clear about the Chinese army's claims? You are the North Korean province that invaded our China first. Shouldn't we teach you a lesson?" Xuan Jianzhang asked with his head held high.

Saigo Congdao frowned, "Do you have to give me an explanation? If you don't come up with an explanation for a long time, do you want to kill all our Japanese and occupy all Japanese territory?"

"We have the conditions to put forward. Either the Meiji government of Japan gave up the entire Kyushu Island as compensation for our China, or let your General Tokugawa Kyoki come to talk to us. We retreat to the area west of Fukuoka and Kurume, and only occupy a small area such as Fukuoka, Kurume, Kawazu, Saga, Hirado, Sasebo and Nagasaki Castle." Xuan Jianzhang said seriously, "It's not that we don't talk to you, it's that you want to use Westerners to suppress China. Asia's president country is China. You use forces outside Asia to be unjust!"

China has been the largest country in Asia since ancient times. It not only has the foundation of a great country, but also the style of a great country. Confucianism has also influenced the entire Asia. Unless the Japanese do not recognize themselves as Asians, it is indeed untenable.

Saigo Koudao said angrily: "Such harsh conditions, no sincerity! General Tokugawa Keiki has returned the major power. What is the reason for a general who stepped down to participate in international affairs? You are interfering in our Japanese internal affairs! You are too bullying!"

"It's your internal affairs if Tokugawa Kyokawa is not out of power, but here in China, I still admit Tokugawa Kyokawa!" Xuan Jianzhang was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and snorted, "Take it down!"

This time, Xuan Jianzhang did not plan to let Saixiang Congdao go. The last time he let Saixiang Congdao go was because of political needs. This time it was different. The few times he let Saixiang Congdao go away was because of Saixiang Congdao, and the warrior army had unified command to facilitate the Chinese army's attacks. It was also due to political needs. Every step of the Chinese army was stable and strategically planned.

While protesting, Saigo Congdao was escorted by two Chinese soldiers.

The reason why the Chinese army was so powerful when China was not very powerful was because all the power of China was concentrated in the hands of the Emperor of China, and there was a complete strategic plan to guide everything!

Why did the Japanese lose a crushing defeat in World War II? Why did they lose all the wealth accumulated in nearly 80 years since 1860 in less than ten years? It is because their system itself has problems and their system cannot support a comprehensive plan. Not to mention a country or a small village, without a complete plan, and not to think about development.

From a grand strategy perspective, the biggest mistake made by the Japanese army that invaded China was that lower-level officers involved the upper-level army, upper-level army involved the entire country, the economy did not have an overall plan, the strategy did not have an overall plan, and short-sighted vision. Taking one step at a time was completely a set of wild dogs snatching food in the early feudal society. At this level, it was embarrassing to the world stage, and it was normal to lose.

What is the highest goal of the Japanese invading China?

The Japanese military officials did not understand this issue until they were defeated, and they did not even clarify their basic political goals, so what else can they talk about?

First, if the goal of invading China is to completely destroy China, then any other interests can be negotiated. The interests of Manchuria can be shared by the Soviet Union and Japan. Before stabilizing the situation in China, they will completely give up their ambitions for Southeast Asia. All diplomatic efforts will be based on cutting off Chinese foreign aid as the highest guideline. The main military energy will be devoted to the mainland, and large-scale training and activation of the puppet army.

Second, if the goal of invasion of China is to preserve the existing interests of Manchuria and Taiwan or to maintain China's separatist state for a long time, then a full-scale war should not have broken out. It is even more stupid to shout "Destroy China in March", which is equivalent to pushing all Chinese political forces to the opposite side.

Third, if the goal of invasion of China is to provide a safe rear for the southward and northward advance, then let alone the full invasion of China, it is questionable whether the "September 18th" will be launched. For the poor and lack of industry, normal trade income is more efficient for Japan than to directly grab it directly.

What did Japan do? At first, it wanted to expand its interests in China and maintain China's separatist state and support the new warlords; then chose to completely destroy China. After facing a certain stalemate in the mainland battlefield, it did not continue to increase its troops, but instead provoked the Russians in the Northeast, but was beaten to the point of being beaten to the point of being beaten to the point of being blue. Then it felt that Nanyang seemed profitable after the outbreak of the European war, and wanted to escape from the peace talks, but was reluctant to let the bottles and jars it snatched from it, so it established the Wang Puppet Government, but it completely angered the bald head and the peace talks were completely hopeless. Then it found that France seemed weak and could be bullied after the defeat, and then extended its hands to Vietnam and Thailand, stimulating Britain and the United States, which had always regarded Southeast Asia as its sphere of influence.

Before the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan seemed to have won one victory after another and robbed one piece of land after another. However, it failed to achieve a complete victory in any direction, but instead angered and offended all the forces around it. This level of hatred even made even the Third Reich feel inferior.

In fact, Japan is not obsessed with having too much goal to fail, but it does not have a clear highest goal. It only relies on the instinct of wild dogs to grab food to seek all the benefits it can see in the short term. It does not know that only by giving up can you gain. It depends on its limited national strength but in fact, it wants to achieve n major strategic goals. These goals conflict with each other. How can this view of the overall situation and strategy level that is worse than that of the Manchus in the 17th century be defeated in the end?

In the final analysis, after the bubble burst in the Taisho era, since millions of petty bourgeoisie could not come up with the determination to bury the bureaucratic system, the only way to rise was the army with a fair selection system. The Fujiwara men were also happy to see the disasters.

In this wave of collective militarism that is one of the upper and lower levels, any rational strategic decision can only make way for domestic political needs, and the final outcome is expected - born in unrighteousness and die in shame.

The root cause of Japan's disease was planted since the Meiji Restoration Period!

The Meiji Restoration did not eradicate the class, but created a royal family, aristocrats, geniuses, civilians, and people on the edge of the city. A strange classification was combined together, which made class contradictions infinitely magnify. Therefore, the Emperor Hua became more and more aware that Hiromoto Ito was more and more powerful. In Hiromoto Ito, these sharp social contradictions were always well controlled. The strategic planning of the entire country was so sophisticated that it was designed. When and when it should be done, what should not be done are all very rigorous.

That is why Emperor Hua chose to directly compete with Japan in 1879, when China had just been unified and was not yet rich. This is why, if China and Japan developed at a normal speed, they were dragged down by the vast territory and huge population at the beginning, and the initial speed was scary and scary, and they would definitely not be able to catch up with a small group of Japanese speed. At that time, if China took a wrong step and the Japanese followed the powerful after which the Japanese picked up a bargain, it would be very likely to interrupt all the strategic concepts of Emperor Hua. Therefore, after the unification of China, Emperor Hua first extended his hand to annex Korea, and then cut off Japan's Kyushu Island.

Japan is still very weak now. When it becomes stronger in the future, their social differentiation will become more and more serious. All classes are locked down. If young people want to develop, their only way is to go to the army. Therefore, the Meiji Restoration itself is destined that the Japanese will take an infinite path of death, and history cannot be changed by anyone. Therefore, Emperor Hua never had any fantasies about the Japanese.

When strategic goals are difficult to achieve, whether to complete them at all costs, consider changing goals, or give up the goal history has proved many times that the first method can basically lead to failure, and this is the path taken in the history of Japan.

Napoleon once said that changing strategic goals requires genius, and judging from the average intelligence level in Japan at that time, it was obviously not enough.

The Japanese are poor and have short-sighted. In the war to invade our Greater China, the assumption of slaughtering Wuhan and returning to the Yellow River is feasible, but it is unrealistic. This price is too great for the Japanese. Maybe there will be a mutiny, let alone obtain political chips through counterattacks in the future.

Therefore, the active attack on Japan led by Emperor Hua this time is completely different. Although the Chinese country is not able to distribute materials to supply the battlefield of Kyushu Island for the time being, the early delivery of 600,000 people sent the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army, the most elite Chinese Army, to Kyushu Island, to prepare for long-term occupation. At the same time, the Chinese army did not plan to launch an attack on the Japanese main island.

This time, after Li Hongzhang and Xuan Jianzhang discussed, attacking Xiaguan City was just to scare the Japanese. In this way, they would make their whole country live in fear. Under the powerful force of the Chinese army, all counties and villages in Japan would set up defenses. How can such a small agricultural country play defense with China?

Consume your population, let you live in fear, and do not give you room for development. This is the cute president's policy of suppressing Japan. Li Hongzhang has fully understood the idea of ​​Emperor Hua.
