Diplomacy is an extension of a country's politics and military. The strength of the military is also the basis of the strength of diplomacy. I have never heard of any country where the military department and the diplomatic department are at odds with each other. This is tantamount to involution.
"Lu Sang, it's difficult to explain this question clearly. Things that we take for granted are really difficult for you or other foreigners to understand." Qiantian gestured with his hands, his expression anxious, and he couldn't explain clearly for a moment.
"Two departments, just like brothers, have their own interests and are entangled, right?" Lu Ming roughly understood what he meant, but still couldn't let go. In the final analysis, the Japanese just wanted to take advantage of other countries.
"To explain this matter, we have to start with the Meiji Restoration. This is a domestic scandal, and it is not very honorable to the outside world." Kenta said with a bitter smile.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Qian Tianjun, feel free to do whatever you want. I'm just curious and have no intention of prying."
"This is actually not a secret, but something that is exposed on the surface, but outsiders cannot see it. I have done research and found that the diplomatic and military departments of the United States get along better. That is because the United States is a civilian government, and the military only controls
To obey orders, national policies are formulated by the government, but this country is completely the opposite." Kenta took a sip of wine and smacked his lips.
"Then your country is going to turn into a military government?" Lu Ming frowned.
"There is this trend, so the government is trying its best to suppress the military, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also trying its best to fight against them and prevent them from expanding. However, it seems that it is a bit difficult to suppress." Qiantian made overturning movements with his hands.
.
Although at this time there were still several years before Japan would completely turn into a military government, that is, militarism, the general trend had already taken shape, and people with insight could clearly see it at a glance.
The two drank another bottle of champagne, ate the dessert, and ordered a pot of coffee, chatting while drinking.
"Lu Sang, if something big changes one day, I hope we can still be friends and not become enemies." Qiantian said suddenly.
"If Mr. Kenda makes a bold guess, what changes will happen between China and Japan?" Lu Ming asked.
"It's hard to say. The international situation is unpredictable, and it's hard to say where China-Japan relations will develop in the future." Kenta sighed.
Both of them knew in their hearts that there would be a war between China and Japan. Unless China surrendered voluntarily, in that case China might become a big North Korea.
If China fights hard, it will be a brutal war. The country will inevitably be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. The entire nation will also face a life-and-death test.
Kenda is an absolute pacifist. He opposes any form of war, whether it is just or evil, whether it is aggression or counter-invasion.
Whether they will be friends or enemies in the future cannot be determined by the will of two people. Once the conflict escalates to the survival of the nation, it will be life and death.
Thinking of this, both of them felt a little emotional. They didn't know what to say. They felt that such a beautiful time was running out.
The most unfortunate thing for a country is that you have a powerful and aggressive neighbor.
"Lu Sang, please believe that we Japanese are not all warlike by nature. On the contrary, most of us Japanese are peace-loving, and those who instigate war are just a handful." Kenta knocked him down lightly with his fist.
Get off the table.
"I believe that the people all hope for peace. No one is keen on war. Once the war begins, ordinary people are just cannon fodder and dead souls under bombs. In the last European War, 65 million people participated in the war and 10 million people lost their lives.
, 20 million people were injured." Lu Ming carefully reviewed the historical materials of the First World War in the United States.
"I am also very worried that if there is another war like this that affects the whole world, the last European War is just a prelude to this war. All the machines in the country are making guns and ships day and night. How can this happen?" Qian
Tian said a little desperately.
Kenta has seen the crisis. The Japanese military has been instigating and coercing public opinion to put pressure on the government and foreign affairs departments, and even on the emperor, in order to activate the war button.
The people have lost their judgment under the strong noise of public opinion and have transformed from being coerced into being restless. Japanese society has entered a fever stage.
At this time, the record player in the restaurant played Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony". Both of them were deeply shocked by the exciting and ups and downs of the music. They did not speak for a long time and drank the bitter coffee.
Lu Ming paid the bill and the two of them walked out of the restaurant. At this time, a car with a Japanese Consulate license plate parked in front of the restaurant.
"Lu Sang, please don't be offended. In order to ensure your safety, I asked the consulate's car to wait here in advance." Qiantian explained.
"Okay, thank you Kenta-kun."
The two got in the car together, first took Lu Ming to the detective station, and then Qiantian returned to the consulate.
After Lu Ming returned to the detective agency, he sat at the table and fell into deep thought, recalling the conversation with Qiantian and slowly chewing on the profound meaning contained in these words.
What Qiantian said unintentionally actually reflected many problems, some of which Lu Ming had thought of before, and some of which were the first time he heard about them.
What distinguishes an excellent intelligence agent from ordinary people is mainly the way of thinking and the ability to discern things and draw inferences about other cases.
Newspapers, magazines and news broadcasts, and even conversations among citizens on the streets, are all effective sources of intelligence.
What intelligence personnel need is the ability to analyze, summarize, summarize and even predict, instead of always taking risks and going deep into the tiger's den to steal some top-secret information.
The fire in the fireplace had already burned out, so Lu Ming lit the firewood again to warm up the room.
Cold can keep people awake, but it can also slow down people's thinking ability.
The detective agency was very quiet in the afternoon, and he continued to ponder until the evening. Only then did he slowly sort out his thoughts and get some clear ideas, and came to a conclusion that even he was afraid of: the Japanese military might take action without permission, and the target of the action should be
Either Northeast or Shanghai.
He didn't know much about the situation in the Northeast, but he also knew that the Northeast was under the effective control of Marshal Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army.
After the Huanggutun Incident that shocked the whole country, people from all walks of life suspected that it was the young officers of the Japanese Kwantung Army who were responsible. Unfortunately, there was no conclusive evidence.
But this feud has been forged. If the Japanese want to take action in the Northeast, aren't they afraid of the resistance of hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops and Marshal Zhang Xueliang?
Do the Japanese want to create another Huanggutun incident in Shanghai? But who will be the target? What is the purpose?
After the founding of the Republic of China, Shanghai was classified as a special city, and the interests of the British, German, French and European powers in China were all involved.
If the Japanese military comes to Shanghai to step on mines, it will mean a showdown with the European and American powers. As a result, even the fig leaf under the crotch may be torn off.
Since last year, the economic crisis that has spread all over the world has caused the global Great Depression. As an emerging industrial country, Japan has been severely hit. It currently does not have the strength to risk launching an all-out war against China, let alone against European and American powers.
However, in order to resist recession, maintain rapid economic growth, and then dominate Asia, the possibility of Japan launching a predatory war is rising significantly.
Isn't this what Teacher Flanders reminded him? A teacher is a teacher, and people stand tall. Lu Ming, who had been depressed for a long time, slammed the table!
This shot made the phone ring. Lu Ming picked up the phone and answered it, and Yan Xiaohui's voice came out.
