"Comrade Lu Ming said it very well and has a high level of consciousness. The threat of the Communist Party exists in every country, and it is the most fundamental and fatal threat. Therefore, we must always regard the eradication of the Communist Party as our mission.
The first goal is to pacify the domestic situation before resisting foreign aggression. This is our national policy." Mr. Jiang said.
Lu Ming was confused. That's not what he meant. Mr. Jiang was too good at making inferences. He must be careful when speaking in the future and avoid those three words as much as possible, so as not to make people scratch his pigtails again.
"Comrade Lu, let me ask a question. If China wants to engage in a full-scale war with Japan, according to the current comparison of strength between the two countries, we will be defeated or even subjugated in less than three months or even in half a year. The Japanese can launch a war against us.
A quick and decisive war, so Japan’s economy will not collapse.”
Lu Ming didn't know this person, so he probably belonged to Mr. Wang or was a member of the Peace Club.
The basic argument of the members of the Peace Club is that China can only continue to make concessions to Japan in exchange for a humiliating peace. If China goes to war with Japan, it will be subjugated in three months.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Since the September 18th Incident, there have been various debates on the topic of war and peace. You represent one of them, and my view is exactly the opposite of yours. The military and national strength between China and Japan are indeed
There is a gap, but the earth is round. From the perspective of the international strategic pattern, will China be subjugated?"
"I think you are too optimistic. According to the intelligence we have, Japan will soon launch a full-scale war against China." The member of the seemingly peaceful club retorted to Lu Ming.
"In the international strategic landscape, the most important point is strategic balance, which is mainly determined by the two fulcrums of the Monroe Doctrine, the established foreign policy of the United States, and the global strategic balance formulated by the United Kingdom. These two fulcrums are also
It is the consensus of all European and American powers that no matter how arrogant the Japanese Empire is, it is not the rule maker, and it is even less capable of breaking the rules." Lu Ming continued his statement without being disturbed by him.
"The Japanese fleet has been anchored in Wusongkou. If they don't want to carry out large-scale operations, they should not choose a city like Shanghai. Since they have chosen Shanghai, it means that they are fully prepared." The man continued to fight against Lu Ming's point of view.
.
"If Japan wants to fully occupy China's territory, it will break the situation of equal interests and strategic balance established by the great powers. Neither the United Kingdom nor the United States will allow the Japanese to do this. This is tantamount to provoking their dignity and usurping their huge rights in China.
interests, so from this perspective, the Japanese dare not do this now, but they will definitely do so in the future."
"Little guy, your words are enough to confuse people." Chen Mingshu said with a smile.
"Please tell me clearly whether the Japanese will do this." Chen Lilao said seriously.
"Yes, I will explain in detail below, first of all why Japan does not dare to do this.
First of all, Japan is a country with a single structure. Their economy mainly relies on importing raw materials from overseas, especially the United States, and then processing them into goods for export to overseas European and American markets. In particular, strategic resources such as oil, rubber, scrap steel, and iron ore are almost all needed.
Imported from the United States.
If they dare to cross the red line between Britain and the United States, the United States will probably cut off all commercial ties with Japan.
In this case, Japan will not be able to obtain strategic resources such as oil, rubber and scrap steel.
Without oil, all the surface combat ships they have built and will vigorously build in the future will become useless iron lumps.
Without rubber, it would be impossible to make car wheels and soldiers' boots. Without iron ore and scrap steel, Japan's steel-making furnaces would have to stop production. Without steel, of course, no weapons can be made.
These are resources they cannot plunder from China to supplement. Without the support of these strategic resources, Japan's modern army will transform into an agricultural-era army, similar to the army of our Qing Empire.
Moreover, we have not yet said whether Britain, the United States and other countries will eventually declare war on Japan and intervene in the war between China and Japan. In terms of resources alone, Japan must abide by the rules of the great powers at present and dare not fully occupy China."
"Well, that makes sense." Chen Mingshu said thoughtfully.
"Well, that's interesting." Mr. Jiang also said.
"Then what do you mean when you say they will definitely do this again in the future?" Chen Mingshu asked again.
"What I mean is that if Japan really wants to become stronger, they have no second way, only one way, which is to break the colonial system of European, American, Dutch and other powers in Asia, seize their colonies, and suppress Asian countries to become Japan-led.
The vassal state system with the core of Juche.”
"How ambitious are the Japanese?" Chen Guolao couldn't help but ask again.
"Guo Lao, Japan is not ambitious, but they want to be strong and must do this. They cannot become strong just by plundering China's land and resources. In fact, they have not concealed their views. They have proposed a Greater East Asia Communist Party.
The honor policy is actually this plan.
The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Policy is actually not mysterious. This policy has two aspects: political and economic. Let’s talk about the political aspect first. That is, Japan encouraged and helped all colonial countries in Asia to carry out independence movements and resist white rule. Finally, with Japan’s help
It gained independence from Japan, of course, as a semi-independent country that respected Japan as its sovereign state.
From an economic perspective, if Japan really successfully implements this policy, it will be able to obtain a steady supply of various resources from various vassal states, and even supplementary soldiers.
To put it in the simplest terms, Japan wants to be like the Ming Empire or the Qing Empire in the modern era, with itself as the suzerain state and other countries as vassal states, thus establishing such a political structure.
This is of course the most important and ultimate goal that Japan wants to achieve, but Britain and the United States are not fools, and they will not let Japan succeed.
At a certain period of time, the balance between the two sides is completely broken, or Japan's behavior exceeds what Britain and the United States can tolerate, and countries such as Britain, the United States, and the Netherlands will launch a full-scale war against Japan."
Lu Ming talked eloquently, and his words really shocked everyone.
"Comrade Lu, as you said, Britain and the United States are not fools, but the Japanese are more cunning. Why do you say that they must conflict with Britain and the United States? They can definitely get the benefits they need within the colonial system of Britain, the United States, and the Netherlands.
"A person in the middle row stood up and asked.
Lu Ming said with a smile: "We have an old saying in China, which is to listen to what they say and watch what they do. Let's not talk about how Japan explains their Greater East Asia co-prosperity policy, but let's take a look at what they have done in recent years.
"
"Why does Japan focus on its navy? Is it a smokescreen?" asked a young officer in the back row.
"This is exactly the question I want to ask you. Japan's domestic military expenditure accounts for more than 40 percent of its gross national income. The bulk of military expenditure is on the navy, not on the modernization of the army.
Japan does not hesitate to spend its national treasury reserves to build such huge modern warships, aircraft carriers and aircraft. Who is it to deal with? It can't be against us, China, right?
It can be said that even if Japan's current navy and air force do not further develop, based on the current level of their navy and air force, we will simply not be able to catch up within ten years. In other words, if Japan only aims to invade China, they should develop it.
It’s a modernized army, not a navy. It’s impossible for Japan to target our current navy, right?”
When Lu Ming said this, everyone present showed bitterness on their faces. Everyone knew the situation of China's navy.
Yes, even if you want to be someone else's opponent, you are not qualified. Although Lu Ming said it a bit hurt his self-esteem, it is indeed the real situation.
"They may also be developing their navy to deal with their old rival, the Soviet Union," the man said.
"This is impossible." Lu Ming objected.
"Why is it impossible? I think it is entirely possible." The man insisted.
"Since the last decisive battle between Japan and Russia in the Tsushima Strait and the Russian Pacific Fleet was completely annihilated, Russia has learned this lesson and will no longer fight a naval war with the Japanese. However, the Soviet Union's army modernization level and land combat strength are far superior to Japan's.
.”
"This means that both countries have their own advantages, but the Japanese navy is neither targeting China nor the Soviet Union. What exactly is their intention?" A civilian official said he could not understand.
