In fact, before the war started, the actions of the United States, Britain, France and other allies were very disgraceful. Later, there was a lot of revealing information on the Internet, so I won’t go into details here.
To put it simply, in the face of a lonely domestic war of resistance, the United States, Britain and France tolerated Benzi and unilaterally provided various strategic materials to Benzi. In the end, due to France's defeat, even the northern part of French Annan was ceded to Benzi.
The last avenue of the domestic war of resistance was closed.
I thought it would satisfy Benzi's appetite. Unexpectedly, Benzi's appetite was hard to satisfy.
Especially the Benzi Navy, they took the opportunity to occupy Hainan Island and the southern part of French Annan. They once again came to defeat the superior, creating a fait accompli.
In fact, neither the Tojo Cabinet nor the Honzi Army would agree with this kind of overpowering of subordinates. This is because there is a huge risk of misfire.
At this time, Tojo asked the navy privately: Are you sure you can defeat the U.S. Navy?
The navy slapped its chest and almost broke its ribs: I guarantee we will win!
In fact, what the Navy secretly means is: Are you, Tojo, a fool? Don't you, the Army, have any idea whether you can win?
As for such a posture, it cannot be said that it is "not sure"? What should we do with the navy's military expenditure next year?
Therefore, Yamamoto Isoroku, the only one who dared to tell the truth, was sent by the Navy Ministry to be the commander of the Combined Fleet. The other senior navy admirals just told lies with their eyes open, for the benefit of their own small group anyway.
In other words, that is the fault left by the elders of the Meiji Restoration - for the benefit of their own small group, the country and the nation are none of my business!
I didn’t expect that the navy was guarding against the army just like it was guarding against domestic thieves. The army really didn’t know?
At this time, in the negotiations between the United States and Japan, the United States continued to use that kind of racial discrimination. What is particularly frightening is that American diplomats did not think that this was racial discrimination at all, and that inferior people like yellow people should be treated like this.
Isn’t this unusual? There was also the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States at that time. Chinese people were not allowed to do jobs that men did, but could only do jobs that women did. Is it even worse than treating black people? So many of the old Chinese in the United States
We can only open laundromats. It’s because of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Of course, Benzi's wolf ambition is real and there is no need to clear the ground. But such racial discrimination makes Benzi unbearable. It even makes them feel that the United States is already preparing to launch a war.
So Tojo and other army generals decided: Forget it, let's just fight. Even if the navy loses, the army can still maintain the results of the invasion.
But I never expected that land warfare on an island is completely different from land warfare on the mainland. An isolated island cannot be defended.
Then...the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor!
…
Should you understand? Regarding the previous disgraceful actions of the United States, Britain and France, as well as the racial discrimination in negotiations, European and American historical materials have all been lost.
However, they dare not talk about domestic historical research in this country.
On the contrary, in the book "Casino", what is there that I dare not say? And there are many, many similar contents in the book.
It can be seen from this that the information is complete and credible (the credit of countless keyboard warriors), and it is an objective evaluation by foreigners. It tells what is concealed or dare not say, and it is also a relatively popular naval history book in China?
Judging from an academic point of view, this is several levels higher. Not to mention, the writing and language are easy to understand and completely suitable for those shallow military history enthusiasts.
As for those dirty words, it doesn’t matter. Translation cannot be original, it can only be said to be better than nothing!
It should be said that according to Yukichi Morimura's many years of book publishing experience, the book "Casino" cannot be as popular as phenomenal novels and comics, but at least it can be a small best-seller to a certain extent, right?
The other is Li Yuan’s interview. After watching it, Morimura Yukiichi discovered that it is very unique!
It’s good to have personality! Controversy will lead to explosive moments!
If Li Yuan could be invited to visit Benzi in China and make some headlines, wouldn't the sales increase "shussfully"?
If Li Yuan likes this kind of overseas visit, and if he coaxes a few more words, maybe the royalties will be free of charge?
But what I didn't expect is, when did mainland Chinese people learn to be smart? What else can we little devils do?
But at this time, Morimura Yuichi no longer dared to delay. Because he had already received a call from a friend in the industry. Since Li Yuan's interview was quite successful, several major domestic publishing houses have taken action, maybe soon.
You can contact us here...
"Sir, if you can trust our Morimun Bookstore, we will calculate the remuneration based on the domestic writers of this book. I believe that no other publishing house is more sincere than me."
"Haha, then we are very sincere. Can you tell us how the royalties are calculated?"
"..."
At this time, Morimura Yukiichi was afraid of long nights and nightmares. He knew very well that if those big publishing houses got involved, he would have nothing to do with him. It was better to sell well and hope to maintain a good relationship. After all, Li Yuan still had
Young, maybe there will be new works in the future?
In fact, Li Yuan's requirements here are not very high. He mainly wants to save face, and he can't be taken advantage of, right? So he can be satisfied with a similar going price.
Since both parties are sincere, it is easy to negotiate the price.
In the end, with a print run of 50,000 and a price of 2,500 yen, Li Yuan was given an 8% share.
The calculation of royalties for books in China is different. In such a contract, Li Yuan can get 8% of each book, which is 200 yen. Since there is a print run of 50,000, it is 10 million yen.
If the 50,000 print runs cannot be sold, the loss will be borne by Morimura Bookstore. If there is an excess, you can still get an 8% share.
It should be said that this contract is quite sincere. As for the 8% share, which is slightly lower, we have to take into account the cost of translation, so Li Yuan doesn't care too much.
In addition, Li Yuan also needs to attend no less than two book fan meetings in Benzi. If there is an opportunity, he also needs to cooperate with media interviews.
There will be a reward of 500,000 yen for each fan meeting, which is another 1 million yen in income. As for media interviews? They are definitely free. Media interviews at least have a publicity effect.
After signing the contract, Morimura Yukiichi readily signed the check on the spot. Facing Morimura Yukiichi's warm invitation, Li Yuan found it difficult to refuse, so he reluctantly went to drink together...
At this moment, Li Yuan secretly thought: Writers in China are really happy, their income is so high. If they publish a best-selling book, it will be enough for them to last a lifetime, right?
