Chapter 8 Tone
Speaking of shocking those people, Yang Rui rarely smiled badly. After lamenting that the historical landscape had changed completely and the ability to grasp the situation completely, he found that he had something that others could not match, that is, understanding the direction of the world's science and technology tree and the impact of the science and technology tree on history, military, and politics. The previous Revival Army was invincible because of new tactics and the use of new weapons.
Yang Rui's general idea was: in the war to interfere with Italy's invasion of Abyssinia, the Chinese version of Rpg-3 with an effective range of 45 meters was thrown out in large quantities, and in the Spanish civil war, the Chinese version of PRG-6 that was about to be finalized was thrown out, making countries around the world believe that tanks are useless; if World War II really breaks out, Guderian's armored division will face the stormy strike of the infantry PRG-6 of France and Poland, to see if the blitzkrieg can still flash? By then, Germany, which started the war, may be defeated or imploded. Anyway, the whole world will soon return to peace, and the United States will continue to be isolated in the Americas.
As for the rpg being copied by the enemy, it threatens its own tanks... Anyway, fiberglass and ceramic armor have been developed. Because of the low price, the Navy has used it to Changning and Yongning's replacement aircraft carriers. In addition, the single-layer hangar has been changed to a double-layer hangar to reduce the armor protection area. The most criticized center of gravity of the armored aircraft carrier is unstable, and the problem of easy support is completely solved. The Navy claims that in the future, only the mother is installed and not the naked mother. (Although the armored aircraft carrier is still
There are problems such as money and labor-intensive, but referring to the newly drafted wartime shipbuilding plan, the labor-intensive problem has been completely solved; while the cost, two ships in quantity, can improve the survival ability of the other fifteen ships. This is a stroke-making insurance transaction. After all, aircraft carriers are not disposable chopsticks, and losing one less ship is equivalent to building one and a half new ships); the latter is extremely expensive, but it may not be used in small quantities on tank armor. Besides, in actual combat, individual anti-tank weapons cannot stop the torrent of armor at all.
Bei Shoutong heard that Yang Rui was going to throw his two kicks out, but he didn't expect that he would even throw out the new generation of anti-chariot weapon RPF-6, which had not yet been finalized. So one thing was that he had no reaction. He was still confused about the strategy of opposing the United States, and asked after a refreshed cough: "Sir, the Americans have never let go of the shooting down the American pilot. During this period, the call for the passage of the second Calvinson Act in China is getting higher and higher. There are also many discussions about the London Naval Disarmament Treaty Conference in the second half of the year. Splitting a China-Japan-DPRK alliance is a prerequisite for negotiations that is destined to be generally recognized. There are also some discussions in our country. Many people think that the alliance should be abandoned, and we are..."
Listening to Bei Shoutong's words, Yang Rui just raised his head to smoke. Seeing him like this, Bei Shoutong had to bite the bullet and said, "...How should we deal with it?"
"What else can I do to deal with? Splitting off the alliance is just an appearance. What the Americans really have to do is to destroy the Three Kingdoms Customs Alliance and the increasingly close financial forces of the two countries, and ultimately prevent the issuance of Asian dollar." Yang Rui snatched the cigarette and his eyes became a little sharp. "Some people are used to being slaves! It's like someone telling him that if you throw the gun, you won't hit you, and he will throw the gun; then the person says again. If you hand over the money, you won't hit you, and then the slave will hand over the money. In short, as long as others scare him, even if he can rely on himself to ensure safety, he would rather live under the charity of others."
He lit a cigarette and sighed a long sigh. Yang Rui calmed down his previous dissatisfaction and said calmly: "The establishment of national self-confidence cannot be established for a short time, nor can it be supported by a few people. The negotiations in the second half of the year will be handed over to the people of the Jiyi Academy. If they are willing to give up the alliance, then they will give up the alliance. If they are unwilling to give up the alliance, then it will be our business."
Unexpectedly, Yang Rui had this idea. Bei Shoutong was surprised, "Sir, if this is the case, they will probably agree to the Americans' request!"
"What's the use of their promise? Will the Americans agree to their request?" Yang Rui mocked. "Of course, if they will kneel down whenever they are beautiful, then we have nothing to say. If there are all such people in the pass, then we'd better keep it alone. There's all our place outside the Great Wall. At worst, it's not too late to go inside the pass from now on."
Yang Rui said that on the point. Bei Shoutong thought about it and said: "If we really give up the alliance under the pressure of the United States, Japan will be very angry, and our previous efforts will be in vain."
"So what?" Yang Rui thought of Song Jiaoren. Fortunately, he was killed by Chen Qimei, but with his intention to instigate populism, the Revival Association will kick him down sooner or later. What! This low-end trick of holding public opinion is also used, and he is worried about the country and the people, and donating all his annual salary is really damn!
"If we give up the alliance, if the United States does not win over Japan, it will destroy Japan. After the war between Japan and the United States started, they might still stand by and watch, hoping that the Americans would also promote democracy in our country after occupying Japan." Bei Shou was in Beijing for a long time and knew very well about some people in the Academy of Scholars, especially the New Kuomintang after Song Jiaoren's death. Many of them are students studying in the United States. They are definitely unhappy to see the Sino-Japanese Alliance for the sake of democracy and freedom, and they hope that the US Marines will land on Shanghai again.
"Then how many such people are there in the Jiyi Academy?" Yang Rui smiled and said, "To be honest, if most of the people in the Jiyi Academy really want to give up Japan and curry favor with the United States, then what is the value of us who have worked hard? You should go and don't underestimate the wisdom of merchants. We basically give them all the power, what else are they dissatisfied with? Those smart people who hold great power will not know the importance of the Sino-Japanese alliance? We don't want the emperor to be anxious and eunuchs to be anxious. There will always be people who stand up to play against them."
"But what if these people are bribed?" Bei Shoutong was still worried.
"The so-called 'people representatives' in the past were bought by others. Now the representatives of the sceptics are all well-known figures in various provinces. Who can buy them all? Those who will agree to give up on Japan are just those verbal parties who rely on newspaper manuscript fees and pay taxes on university professors' wages. They are homeless and unemployed. Naturally, they hope that Americans can help themselves and get to the next level. To put it bluntly, that is, this country is more valuable than before, and they plan to sell it for a good price."
Yang Rui talked about the verbal dynasty and thought about Qingliu in the late Ming Dynasty. Suddenly, he felt that it was not enough to just pay taxes as the qualification to run for election. University professors were extremely treated, while some of the university professors were formerly foreign students of the Boxer Treasury. These people were 100% able to be the leader of the United States in order to achieve the national victory, democracy and freedom.
"Ji Mei, you are a soldier. Soldiers should not interfere in government affairs. The choice of the Juyi Academy is ours." Yang Rui said last.
After Yang Rui explained this, Bei Shoutong fell silent, but judging from his stubborn expression, he obviously couldn't figure it out. At the moment when Yang Rui was drinking tea leisurely, he finally said angrily: "Sir, we must not watch those people destroy this country!"
"What do you want to do?" Yang Rui said gently, "jump out and take over the government and declare all the management?"
"No!" Seeing Yang Rui staring at him, Bei Shoutong shook his head again. He didn't know what to do.
"For more than two thousand years, when Rome had not yet ruled the world, there was an ancient Carthage country in North Africa. They controlled the entire Mediterranean trade and were extremely rich. Although there were no steamships at that time, the Mediterranean was still too small. Rome and Carthage eventually started a war due to an occasional event. The war lasted for twenty-three years, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, but in the end the Romans resisted, and Carthage had to admit defeat and pay compensation. From then on, the Mediterranean sea power was controlled by Rome rather than Carthage."
Speaking of this, Yang Rui looked at Bei Shoutong, "Ji Mei, do you know what is the real factor that determines the outcome of the war?"
"Really decide..." The motto of the former Revival Army was science and art, but Yang Rui asked this question, obviously not the answer. He thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Sir, please help me solve the problem."
Unexpectedly, there would be such a teacher-student answer decades later. Yang Rui smiled and said, "It is not the generals who really determine the outcome of the war, it is not the generals, it is not the technique, it is not the tactics, it is not the art. What really determines the outcome of the war is who is more savage to the two sides."
"Brutal?" Bei Shoutong didn't expect that it was the answer.
"Bariality is not fierceness. It is not that anyone is more cruel than anyone, and who kills more people. Because ruthlessness is only temporary, from the inside out, being cruel to oneself is really barbaric. A civilized person will not want to fight again as he fights, and they hope for peace. But a truly barbaric person hates peace in his bones. In his opinion, killing and being killed are the norm, and peace is perverted. In other words, war originates from the innate beast nature. Peace depends on human nature.
Long-term wars are maintained by animality, and the European War is an example. The Germans are more animality than the French, so the Germans can hold on until the end, while the French want to truce after three years of fighting. Is this the difference between democratic systems and constitutional monarchy? No. This is actually the difference in the proportion of animality in the two countries. You can see this difference from the daily life of the Germans and the daily life of the French. Berlin is not as comfortable as Paris, so Germany is more barbaric than the French.
The Academy of Scholars represents that most people are elected by the people. No matter how many votes these people spend money to buy, they are representatives of the people. If they are not barbaric and not beastly, then what if you force them to keep Japan? So what if they force them to start a war against the United States? The people do not want to fight and surrender, and do not want to be lazy. Maybe you fight ahead and revolution will be in the rear. At that time, you are not only a hero of the nation, but a sinner who provokes the war. Even if you judge you and strangle you, it is not the Americans but your own people. There have been many such examples in history.
In history, whenever there are heroes, there are backgrounds for the decline of the country and nation. Otherwise, why are there only heroes but no heroes? Otherwise, why will the country and nation fall into a state of life and death, making it rely on several heroes to save the situation? If the general trend of the nation-state is to disappear, even if the heroes turn the tide, the final outcome will not be changed. This time, we will use the negotiations in the second half of the year to test how beastly this country is. If we can’t pass this level, what if we win the war? After we die, who can support this country?"
Even if the heart is hot, Yang Rui's words will make Bei Shou cool down. Yes, if the people don't want to fight, what's the point of what they do? He suddenly remembered an internal speech by Yang Rui many years ago, which said: Humans only have two states, one is beast, and the other is slave. Humans are just a comfortable process of transforming from beasts into slaves. The more refined the artifacts are, the more developed the civilization, and the more human the thoughts are, then people are not far from being slaves, because they completely forgot the supreme way of survival in nature.
Thinking of this, Bei Shoutong sighed and said, "Sir, no one cares about others, but the young students are full of passionate people. These people are always beastly, right?"
"Young students are not beastly, they are brainless. The result of standing with them is that the country is completely ruined by them. The ending of you and me is suddenly shot dead like Japanese Prime Minister Yuyuki Hamaguchi." Yang Rui did not expect that Bei Shou and his ideas were actually attacked by young students, and they had to warn again, "Public opinion should not be arbitrarily. I incited farmers to have a bad intention for later generations. Song Dunchu was finally finished because he wanted to go this way. Although Chen Qimei killed him just to provoke civil strife in the country, this person has never stayed in the country and has no idea of the effect of judicial independence, but Song Dunchu can still say that he learned from me and died."
"The verbal answers from those who oppose the Sino-Japanese alliance and demand that the United States be well answered: After the alliance is dissolved, if Japan decides to start a war under the pressure of the United States, the war will start with a sneak attack with their style. At that time, they cannot defeat it, and the US soldiers are in a dilemma and want to occupy the entire Japan. How should we act?
Should we sit back and watch Japan be tamed and transformed by the United States and eventually become a vassal of the United States, or join the war group to help Japan fight against the United States?" Yang Rui seemed a little angry and said excitedly. "The United States is not Britain. He cannot accept the mediation of the third country in this situation and let Japan go. He will definitely want Japan to surrender unconditionally before he will be passively angry. From this perspective, the Sino-Japanese alliance can restrain Japan and curb the war, rather than talking nonsense. Alliance is the root of war.
This is also why Beiting wanted to annex, leaving a neutral country between two powerful countries, with a layer of separation, you guess me, I guess you will have an accident sooner or later. Isn’t this how the European war started? The cause of the war was not a conflict between Germany and Russia, a conflict between France and Germany, or an Austria-Russia, but a conflict in the semi-neutral area where the two sides intertwined forces, and eventually detonated the entire Europe.
Japan's political situation is very chaotic. The assassination of Hamaguchi five years ago was a sign of unstable political situation. If we hadn't strongly protested and demanded that the murderers be sentenced to re-sentence, Japan might have become Germany. Even now, it is entirely up to Inukaishi's constitutional friends to support the situation independently. If Inukaishi is killed by young soldiers again, Japan will be crazy. What is certain is that after the Sino-Japanese alliance is disbanded, the war will happen within five years, and Japan will be the one who initiated the war, with the purpose of pulling us to our own side."
Speaking of this, Yang Rui stood up and said, "Don't forget that the Jiyi Academy is the boss, and he is just a friend. Don't make decisions for the boss. What we do now and the money we spend is our own, and it is still within the scope of the government's laws. Preparing for war is one thing, but not fighting or not is another matter. You must not interfere with it!"
"I understand, sir." Bei Shoutong was sweating all over his head.
"Okay, it's not an exaggeration for you to have this kind of thought. There's nothing to blame yourself." Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "I will go to Japan next month. If you have time, please accompany me."
"Ah, go to Japan?" Since resigning, Yang Rui has basically only been on his fiefdom and has never gone anywhere except for the funeral...
