"First of all, let's talk about war. There are only three reasons why wars break out: The first is mindless and stupid wars. For example, in the Middle Ages in Europe, a king thought he had been insulted, so he attacked another country.
Waging a war; the second type is the most common interest war, whether it is economic interests or religious interests, there must always be benefits before waging a war, because fighting costs money; the third type is an anti-aggression war to protect the homeland.
, China’s current war of resistance is like this, and Japan’s invasion of China belongs to the second type.”
"To analyze Japan's invasion of China, we must understand the history of China, Europe, America and Japan at the same time."
"Let's talk about Europe and the United States first. Before the mid-Ming Dynasty, Europe was not strong. Even in the mid-to-early Qing Dynasty, the European powers could not crush China militarily and economically. The rise of Europe was traced to the Renaissance, and in the great navigation and industrial
The revolutionary period broke out completely. The Renaissance broke the ideological shackles of Europe, ushered in the rapid development of natural science, and technically enabled global navigation; Spain, Britain, and France completed the development of capitalism through the colonial plunder of the Great Navigation.
Primitive accumulation gave birth to the arrival of the industrial revolution; the industrial revolution led to the rise of the bourgeoisie, and the rule of the old aristocracy was shaken, so there was a bourgeois revolution, resulting in the emergence of democratic republics and constitutional monarchies. This is the process and reason of modern modernization in Europe
.”
"The fundamental reason for the outbreak of the European War (World War I) twenty years ago was that the colonies around the world were carved up by established powers such as Britain and France. The emerging powers, led by Germany, were unable to obtain enough production resources;
commodity market, so a war was launched to seize colonial territory. Secondly, the rapid rise of the United States and Germany caused the old powers to adopt trade protectionism, which intensified conflicts in this area. Finally, the development of science and technology greatly improved production efficiency.
, all major powers have overcapacity and must expand their already insufficient trade markets, thus making conflicts between them more intense."
"So, the European war has to be fought. It is a war of interests to seize production resources and trade markets."
"The European War brought three far-reaching effects. First, the United States took advantage of the situation to rise. Second, European countries suffered heavy casualties. Third, Germany was suppressed excessively and national sentiment rose. These effects have continued to this day, and the European people have suffered heavy casualties.
The United Kingdom and France are afraid of war, so the people of Britain, France and other countries are calling for peace. On the one hand, the governments of Britain, France and other countries are concerned about public opinion, and on the other hand, they are afraid that war will resume and will benefit the United States, so they adopt an appeasement policy towards the war. The appeasement policy makes people eager for revenge
The rising ambitions of Germany and its resurgent Germany have also made Japan's strategy of aggression against China unscrupulous. This is the current international situation."
"Why did Japan invade China? I made it very clear in my book "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword". Japan is an island country. As long as it is slightly stronger, it wants to get involved in the East Asian continent. From the Tang Dynasty to the present, Japan has invaded China and
North Korea, it's happened many times."
"Since the late Qing Dynasty, China has lagged behind the world step by step. With the connivance of European appeasement and the isolation diplomacy of the United States, Japan went even crazier, leading to the September 18th and July 7th Incidents."
"Then why do I say that China will definitely win the war of resistance against Japan? Please look at the blackboard and I will draw a map of the world."
"The world economic crisis that started in the United States has led to financial difficulties for all major powers. Under the influence of public opinion, countries such as Britain and France have become more conservative, and appeasement ideas have reached unprecedented heights. Like the United States, they have solved the crisis through economic means. Germany and Japan, on the other hand, have used development
Military power is used as a means to stimulate domestic production and consumption. Germany and Japan overdraw their national power and expand their armies crazily, so they will inevitably choose foreign aggression. If they do not invade China, Japan's domestic economy will almost be unable to support it. The same is true for Germany, and the same is true for Italy, so Germany
, Japan, intended to formally form a fascist alliance three months ago.”
"Japan invaded China, Italy invaded Ethiopia, and Germany marched into the Rhine Demilitarized Zone. This was just the beginning of the war. In the next step, Germany would inevitably choose to annex Austria and expand to its European allies, Britain and France, and all European countries would be forced into the war.
Japan is a small country. If they cannot quickly occupy China, they will not have more resources to fight the war. The only option is to invade Southeast Asia. And Southeast Asia is the traditional power of the European powers. Therefore, it is inevitable for Britain and France to go to war with Japan.
A new world war is coming."
"The foreshadowing of this world war has been laid as early as the European War. If you study the history of the European War carefully, you will definitely get inspiration from it."
At this point, some people were dubious, while others were suddenly enlightened. Zhou Hexuan revealed to them the fog of the world.
"There are two keys to China's victory."
"First, China must persist in resisting, unite all forces that can be united, fight the war as a whole, consume Japan's finances and resources as much as possible, and force Japan to take action in Southeast Asia as soon as possible."
"Second, the entry of the United States. The United States has a unique geographical location, and they can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight with confidence. Why did Japan bomb the American warships, but the United States chose to tolerate and compromise? It is not that the United States is afraid, but that the United States has a greater
The attempt is to make war profits. Not only is it impossible for the United States to help China at this time, it will instead help Japan and Germany, provide financial and resource support to Japan and Germany, and encourage them to engage in wars of aggression. As a result, American capitalists can do whatever they want
Selling arms and strategic resources allowed the United States to completely get out of the shadow of the Great Depression. When major countries in the world were involved in wars and suffered heavy losses, the United States would join in as a savior. In Europe 20 years ago, the United States was
As long as Roosevelt is not stupid, the United States will do this. Even if Roosevelt is a fool, American capitalists will force Roosevelt to do this."
"Why do American capitalists want to finally join the war? Markets and resources!"
"Once China is occupied by Japan, once Southeast Asia is threatened by Japan, once Europe is disrupted by Germany and Italy, then American capitalists will inevitably intervene for their own benefit."
"When the United States intervenes, it will definitely stand on China's side. Because if it just sits and watches Japan invade East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific, the U.S. market in the East will be destroyed, and there will be no market for American industrial products. Therefore, the U.S. diplomatic strategy is very clear. Then
It first finances the aggressor country to provoke a war to gain profits, and then helps the invaded country seize the world market and international status. From the beginning to the end, the United States is the big winner."
"As for China, we can't just wait for the United States to enter the game, we must use all our strength to resist Japan. Otherwise, China will be completely defeated before the Americans take action, and even the United States will be unable to recover by then."
"Also, many people complain about why the central government does not declare war on Japan. The reason is simple. Because of the Wartime Neutrality Act, once China declares war on Japan, China will be bound by international law and cannot receive assistance from other countries. This includes
Military equipment, strategic supplies and international loans. The same is true for Japan. Japan does not dare to declare war on China because once it declares war, it will not be able to obtain American resources. When the two countries declare war on each other, Japan will not be far from defeat. Please wait and see.
!”
Zhou Hexuan said so much just to give the Chinese people confidence.
During the Anti-Japanese War, more than one-third of the students in universities including Southwest Associated University, Central University, Chongqing University, etc. voted to join the army and went to the battlefield.
The students listening to Zhou Hexuan's lectures in front of me, not to mention the seniors, half of the freshmen and sophomores may join the army and serve the country. It is very important and necessary to give them confidence.
Now when we talk about a national war of resistance and defeating Japan entirely with China's strength, it is obviously not as effective as talking about the United States joining the war, because the Chinese people are extremely lacking in self-confidence.
At least, the United States' participation in the war gave everyone hope.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
There was thunderous applause in the auditorium. Although many people had doubts about Zhou Hexuan's prediction, more people chose to believe it. Firstly, Zhou Hexuan's analysis was very reasonable, and secondly, people always thought of the good.
Of course, there are also many people who curse the United States and think that Americans deserve to die.
