the world is at stake

"Because Japan is very important. I have no choice but to guide the work." Zhou Qingfeng said with a bad smile, "I want to have a drink with the Emperor, please arrange it."

Chapter 50 Broadcasting

Ever since Japan was undefeated and defeated, Emperor Taisho has been very timid in the Imperial Palace.Every day, there are thousands of tourists who come here especially for the name, clamoring outside the imperial city, visiting and looking around, and whoever lives in it will be terrified.

It stands to reason that the house is restless, and it is better to live in another place.

But now the vicious "East Commission for Disciplinary Inspection" has continuously investigated and liquidated more than a dozen royal ministers and high-ranking officials.The most recent misfortune is that Goto Shinpei, who served as foreign minister, was executed for causing massacres in Taiwan.

In troubled times, the Ministry of the Interior really didn't dare to cause trouble again, lest it be targeted.But the Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't want to cause trouble, but someone wants to take the initiative to come and smash the scene.

On this day, the Prime Minister's Office sent someone to the door to announce that China's special envoy for foreign affairs, Zhou Qingfeng, the new secretary of the 'Eastern Commission for Disciplinary Inspection', will take up his post in Japan, hoping that the emperor can come forward to entertain him.

What entertainment?

Great Japan has been wronged to the point of being a dog to China, and there are still people who make such excessive demands.

Mizuno Rentaro, who served as the Minister of Internal Affairs, was furious. He cursed Miura for being shameless, betraying the country of the Japanese Communist Party, acting as a lackey of China, and forcing the emperor to open the door for "business" in a whimsical way.

This is not a lady in a kiln, who can be ordered out if she is rich and powerful.His Majesty the Emperor has divinity, and is the faith and spiritual sustenance of the Yamato nation, so maybe he came out to entertain?

His Excellency Mizuno flatly refused, and as a result, the chariot of the Eastern Disciplinary Committee immediately drove to the gate of the Imperial Palace to "pick up" Emperor Taisho and his family to the Tokyo Kokugikan to watch Noh and sumo performances.

This ability to turn back to others is so natural, as if born.

In order to avoid a big mess, Prime Minister Miura bit the bullet and went to the imperial city to invite Emperor Taisho in person, knelt outside the imperial residence, and begged: "This time Zhou Qingfeng is coming to Japan. Hospitality.

This person has always acted without scruples, and will use any means to achieve his goals.In fact, he has been quietly active in Tokyo for a while, and it is not clear what his plan is? "

Miura's words stunned the Minister of Internal Affairs and Emperor Taisho.Dazheng himself found it inconceivable, and asked back: "A figure comparable to an emperor sneaked into Tokyo?"

Yes, that's right!

That guy can really do it.Anyone who knows the inside story knows that this is not the first time he has done such absurd things.

Dazheng's brain is not working well, he looked at Mizuno blankly.

Mizuno couldn't make the decision, so he repeatedly asked Miura if he could refuse?

Miura shook his head vigorously, thinking: "If you refuse, you will die. That guy dared to break into the imperial city and beat the emperor on the head."

During the stalemate, the Imperial Household Agency, which is in charge of the emperor's daily life and foreign affairs, sent someone to report in a panic: "His Excellency Zhou Qingfeng from China has gone to the Ministry of Army."

The Army Ministry is across the street from the Imperial Palace.Last year's mutiny, its "Building No. [-]" was bombed to pieces by four guided bombs, and it has not been rebuilt yet, and it is in a state of ruins.

The killed Si Nei Zhengyi and other high-ranking military officials were still buried under the ruins, as if they were ignored, and no one dealt with them at all.Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingfeng would show up in public. He went to the Prime Minister's Office first, and then went to the Ministry of Army.

"What did he go to the Ministry of Army for?" Miura felt puzzled, "The place was surrounded after it was bombed, and there were only collapsed buildings inside."

Could it be that Zhou Qingfeng was going to take pictures to commemorate his glorious achievements?Ordinarily that guy is not such a boring person.

The person who notified was terrified, "Your Excellency Zhou Qingfeng delivered a short speech in front of the ruins, saying to the Tokyo media that 'the old ruins are unsightly and should be completely demolished, so as not to become a place where the old Japanese army recalls their souls."

Mizuno's heart felt cold when he heard it, and he cried out secretly.

The Japanese army refused to disband, and the government ministries turned a blind eye to the ruins, but they were also careful.Occasionally, someone would go to the dilapidated Army Ministry Building to pay homage, which really meant calling back the soul, hoping to make a comeback after many years.

Miura sighed when he heard the words, "Zhou Qingfeng really came prepared. This man is very tough, and he will definitely not allow the Japanese bureaucrats to fool and deceive him. Please make a decision early, Your Majesty."

The scene was silent for a while, and no one was willing to make a decision.

Instead, people from the Imperial Household Agency came to pass on the news that after Zhou Qingfeng went to the ruins of the Army Ministry Building, he went to the Tokyo Broadcasting Association to be interviewed by the media and broadcast live to the whole of Japan.

Most of the current broadcasts are recorded broadcasts, and live broadcasts are prone to broadcast accidents, which are rare.But the form of live broadcast is indeed novel, especially when no one can predict what will happen in the media interview?

The Imperial Household Agency brought in a radio and tuned to Radio Tokyo.

No one is surprised about broadcasting.But officials, especially senior officials, are always ambiguous when they speak out.Everyone, including Dazheng, was wondering what this 'king-like' character would say?

"Your Excellency Zhou Qingfeng doesn't know how to speak in an official language, let alone charades." Miura recalled with a wry smile that Uncle Zhou molested Miss Samsung in Hong Kong.Facing the kidnappers, the other party still has the heart to broadcast live on the radio.

The host of the radio station has already announced that there will be an important live broadcast. His Excellency Zhou Qingfeng, the Chinese diplomatic envoy and secretary of the Eastern Discipline Inspection Commission, will answer questions from the Japanese media on the spot.

Citizens in Tokyo can even call the Tokyo Broadcasting Association to communicate directly with His Excellency Zhou Qingfeng, and they can openly talk and ask any questions.

This kind of notice is even more appetizing, and even Miura is thinking about whether to arrange someone to call Zhou Qingfeng to ask Zhou Qingfeng, not to embarrass the other party, but to ask him the purpose of coming to Japan.

The current radio signal is very distorted, and the sound from the radio has a rustling sound, not like the original sound.After warming up for about half an hour, a deep bass came out from the radio station to say hello to the audience all over Japan.

"It's him." Miura said in a low voice, he remembered Zhou Qingfeng's voice, and it was impossible for him to forget it in his life.

Mizuno and Dazheng focused on the broadcast itself, but they didn't notice that their prime minister seemed to have a 'close friendship' with Zhou Qingfeng.

Japanese media reporters still dare not make mistakes. The first question is very simple. What is your impression of Japan, the respected secretary of the "Eastern Commission for Discipline Inspection"?

This only needs to say a few words of praise, but Uncle Zhou is very straightforward, and he said calmly in fluent Japanese: "As the two countries that have just ended the state of war, it is too hypocritical to say that I have a particularly good impression of Japan. up.

My purpose of coming to Japan this time is to strengthen the relationship between China and Japan.But I still know very little about Japan, and I am limited to simple reports on the national conditions and the people's conditions.

If I have to give an impression, it is that there are many areas where China and Japan can complement each other and cooperate, but there are also many conflicts between them, and there are many problems in mutual trust.And I'm here to fix the problem. "

To the little devil, such blunt words are like a blow to the head, without any superficial kindness.The reporters at the live broadcast were in an uproar in a low voice, which was transmitted along with the radio waves.Even through the radio, listeners can imagine that the scene is unusual.

With this answer as a starting point, Japanese media reporters are a little more courageous.The second question is about the future direction of China-Japan relations.Zhou Qingfeng laughed, and said directly:

"After the Meiji Restoration, Japan wanted to be the No. [-] in Asia.

But there is a prerequisite for this. China is always gloomy and hopeless, so it can give Japan a chance.Otherwise, with China's size, it is impossible to allow Japan to challenge its position, whether it is population, financial power, military power, or diplomacy.

From the Sino-Japanese War to the present, Japan has always won and won, but it can be finished once it loses, and it has ended up in the current situation.I know very well that there are still many people from all walks of life in Japan who are dissatisfied with the ending of undefeated and defeated, and even have a confrontational mentality.

I advise people with such ideas to go to China to understand the national power gap between China and Japan, and then consider whether the confrontation route is feasible and whether they can find an alliance in Japan. "

These words made countless Japanese listeners restless, either shocked or angry, or confused and contemplative, or unwilling to be impatient.No one wants to admit that Japan is inherently inferior to China, but the reality forces them to bow their heads.

In the imperial city, Dazheng was in a daze when he heard it, and Mizuno next to him shouted to Miura in embarrassment: "Does this person really represent China's position? How can he make such irresponsible remarks?"

Miura answered angrily, "This guy has always been like this, he is very responsible."

Zhou Qingfeng's voice continued to be heard on the radio, "Many Japanese intellectuals and bureaucrats don't understand why they lost? I can explain to them the process of the Japanese people's overthrow of the military department last year.

Do you know how many Japanese nationals obtained Chinese nationality from 1912 to 1917?More than thirty thousand.These people can gain the trust of the Chinese government because they have made outstanding achievements in work or combat.

For example, more than 50 Japanese engineers joined China's railway construction, and more than [-] people died in the construction of the project.Their names can be seen in many railway martyrs' cemeteries in China.

During the Sino-Japanese War, more than [-] Japanese commanders and fighters joined the Japanese Liberation Army.When the Japanese military rule was overthrown, this number exceeded [-].They fought bravely beyond my imagination.

Just because the Japanese liberation fighters have deep-seated class hatred for the reactionary Japanese military.Without much mobilization from the political commissar, they can fight with high morale.

On the day before the air strike on Tokyo, at least [-] lines from the Japanese Navy, Army, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Finance, and private enterprises were reporting real-time intelligence to China.

Information including weather, traffic, army deployment, and the location of important personnel was continuously sent to the revolutionary headquarters in Tokyo.All information can be mutually verified to ensure authenticity and validity.

Have you ever wondered why China can infiltrate Japan so easily?It is impossible to rely on bribery, coercion and coercion.

Because 'justice' is not a slogan, it can really touch people's hearts.There are our party members within the Chinese ethnic group, and we can even control the emperor's three meals a day. How can the Japanese officials and dignitaries win? "

The last sentence startled the Minister of Internal Affairs who was listening, and his first reaction was to exclaim that it was impossible.But think carefully about the offensive of the 'rebels' on the day of the mutiny. It can only be said that 'a good fighter has no great military exploits'.

Even Emperor Taisho himself sighed, but he had seen with his own eyes the critical moment of the war, and the Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy even quarreled to shirk their responsibilities.

China was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], it was completely at the end of the previous dynasty, and the political situation could not be worse.As long as the Chinese government cheers up a little bit, there is no way for Japan to act.

Chapter 51

"I'm not a hawk, let alone a dove. I'm just very frank. The current world structure is very transparent. Lying is meaningless and ridiculed."

"War is serious business, don't have any romantic thoughts about it.

China did not let the Japanese people bear the responsibility for the defeat, but it does not mean that the Chinese government is very kind, because Japan needs a group to accept the punishment of defeat after all.

We determined that the old soldiers and bureaucrats supported by big Japanese landlords and big capital should be liquidated.Any blockers please consider if you want to suffer for this group.

Note that the liquidation does not end with death, but also includes an all-round purge of land, population, property, and ideology.The relationship between China and Japan will be finalized at this moment, otherwise there will be continuous wars. "

In the radio waves, Zhou Qingfeng's voice was distorted and hoarse, strong and severe.But through broadcast stations all over the country, this public interview was broadcast to the whole of Japan.

From the southwest to Kyushu, and the northeast to Hokkaido, whether in urban or rural areas, the listening rate broke through an astonishing [-]%.Everyone who is worried about the fate of Japan must listen to it, carefully pondering every word.

Miura Naikang sat in the Imperial Palace and listened with the Emperor.He knew that Zhou Qingfeng's words meant something, not only for the Japanese, but also for the great powers of all countries involved in the war.

The United States expressed its neutrality and waited for Europe to be smashed into ruins-Britain and France are not stupid, so they would not consume themselves in vain and let the Yankees take advantage.Finding that Germany could not be dealt with quickly, they immediately slowed down their offensive.

Germany is attacking wildly, with the intention of a quick victory; Tsarist Russia is holding on, and its delusion is lingering.

China took advantage of the north and then stopped. Instead, it held high the banner of national liberation and went south, instigating local people to rebel and sweeping across the Indochina Peninsula.

This is destined to be a long and difficult war, and China's limited national strength cannot withstand meaningless consumption.Zhou Qingfeng's appearance in Japan was obviously because 'Shengguang' felt that Japan's integration into the Chinese civilization circle was too slow.

The shocking live recording was repeatedly broadcast by the Tokyo Broadcasting Association within the next week, triggering heated discussions in the Japanese public opinion circles, and the response from the people was extremely strong.

First of all, a bold Japanese scholar stood up and denounced the oppression of the Chinese special envoy for breaking through diplomatic etiquette, and the ambition to annex Japan was hidden in the arrogant words.

But before the "East Disciplinary Committee" published an article to refute, Japanese scholars began to fight among themselves-is this still "hidden"?People understand that they want to swallow it.

Besides, what's wrong with being 'swallowed'?Do you want to continue fighting?Or let ordinary people bear the responsibility for defeat?Your Excellency Zhou Qingfeng's frankness is touching. This is clearly to clarify the interests and avoid confrontation caused by misjudgment.

Associating "confrontation" with "war", Japanese public opinion immediately turned - "Meiji Restoration" decades, Japan's national power has greatly improved, but ordinary people really didn't benefit much, and those who should be poor are still poor.

After the Tokyo mutiny, war-weariness among the people broke out violently, and they no longer wanted to tighten their belts to support the military and bureaucrats to continue the fight-they couldn't eat enough, and even beat a ghost.

The 'East Commission for Discipline Inspection' did not suppress the resistance of Japanese scholars and intellectuals, but launched a propaganda tool to release the voices of ordinary people.

In the past, newspapers and radio stations were heavy assets, requiring particularly high manpower and technology, and required the country to build them.Newspaper editors and reporters are highly respected and well paid professions.

But 'Holy Light' especially likes to lower the right to speak and mobilize the masses to fight against bureaucrats.

Once the class struggle is grasped, it works, and the high-ranking Japanese scholars and bureaucrats are scolded to the point of confusion.They wanted to take advantage of ethnic conflicts and emphasize China's ambition to annex Japan, but they never thought that the bottom would not support them at all.

On the night of Zhou Qingfeng's live radio interview, Emperor Taisho had to agree to "go out for business" and went to Tokyo Kokugikan to accompany him to watch "Noh" and "Sumo" performances.

In order to take care of Zhou Qingfeng, the 'emperor', the kneeling seats in the sumo venue were changed to sofas.And Zhou Qingfeng sat side by side with Dazheng, and shook hands with the performers afterwards to express his gratitude, and took pictures as a souvenir.

With the emperor's divinity in Japan, it is impossible for ordinary people to touch him.

Zhou Qingfeng ignored the obstruction of the attendants in the palace hall, and laughed and pulled Dazheng to "go down to the mundane world"—the actors and sumo wrestlers knelt down on the ground in fear and fear.

It was really a humiliation to the death of the minister. The Minister of Internal Affairs Mizuno, who accompanied the watch, wished he could have a caesarean section on the spot to express his protest.Uncle Zhou didn't care so much, he gave orders to the kneeling people.

"Everyone performed wonderfully. Please stand up and accept the audience's thanks. The emperor and everyone are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low in work."

"If you say there is no, then there will be no?" Miura accompanied him on the other side, smiling on his face, MMP in his heart, "There are really high and low in Japan. Let alone now, Japanese politics will be family-style in 100 years. The son of the prime minister will still be prime minister."

The next day, the front page of the Asahi Shimbun published a photo of the meeting between the two countries' "heads of state".

But Taisho in the photo is wearing a western-style tuxedo.Standing next to Zhou Qingfeng, who was about 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and thick waist, he stood upright like a cricket with slender legs, making him look extraordinarily short and thin, like an idiot.

Dazheng's height is only 1 meters, an authentic dwarf.

The Japanese people dare not imagine their own eyes, and a strange fantasy in their minds has been shattered - the emperor of the eternal line does not seem to be a very powerful existence.

Not only not strong, but also weak.

Longevity, how can people live like this?

The Japanese people refused to accept these facts, and in desperation they called or wrote letters to the Asahi Shimbun, asking to clarify the label on the photo—the burly man with a height of 1.8 meters is probably Emperor Taisho.

The silly dwarf next to him must be the Chinese special envoy.

The Asahi Shimbun wanted to pretend to be dead, but the public reacted strongly, and the rumors in society were blowing like a storm.In the following days, Zhou Qingfeng was very active, and he liked to go to the Imperial Palace to pull Taizheng into the market to experience life together.

Newspapers must report on the activities of the two 'heads of state', and it is inevitable to publish photos of the meeting between the heads of state again, but how to describe it in words is a problem.

Zhou Qingfeng took Dazheng's family to the elementary school, and played with the children of the civilian family - four or five children could climb on him to play, and Dazheng could only be silly by the side.

Zhou Qingfeng can go out before dawn to greet the sanitation workers who sweep the streets in the morning.Dazheng's family was also dragged out of the bed by him, shaking hands with strangers against the morning stars and fog.

Before shaking hands, Dazheng didn't know that there was a street sweeper on the opposite side; the sanitation worker didn't know that it was His Majesty the Emperor who appeared out of nowhere.When the newspaper published the headlines, the citizens of Tokyo were shocked to find out...

The divinity of my own emperor doesn't seem to be a big deal, he is really thin and small, and his appearance is not good.

The majesty of the superior is often produced by the distance. Once the distance is close enough to see the pores, the class gap obtained by blood and identity will quickly disappear.

As for Zhou Qingfeng, he was shaking hands with the excrement collector, asking in detail about the salary, family, housing, and even daily chores at the bottom.Sometimes when asked about the rise, he would call the managers of a certain department to have a meeting on the spot.

There are a lot of bullshit at the grassroots level, and Japan is a country with extremely serious bureaucracy.Some things are known to be wrong, and time will be wasted in red tape and paperwork.

On the first day Zhou Qingfeng brought Taisho to the grassroots, he found that the cleaners in the slums of Tokyo were not enough, and the tools were not complete, and the sewers were in urgent need of dredging and expansion.

So Uncle Zhou called seven or eight senior officials from the Tokyo Environmental Sanitation Department over in the name of the emperor, and kicked them into the sewer full of filth and stench in full view.

Dazheng was watching from the side, and Crown Prince Hirohito was also in a daze.Empress Zhenming wore a gorgeous kimono and was surrounded by more than a dozen maids. She wanted to hide but couldn't. She was so sick that she almost fainted.

Uncle Zhou pointed at the noses of officials from the Environmental Sanitation Department and cursed: "As the secretary of the 'East Disciplinary Committee', I order you to either dig the sewers yourself, or make a quick decision to improve sanitation efficiency. "

Where did the Japanese bureaucrats who are usually well-clothed and well-fed suffer from this humiliation?It's head exploded, I wish I could drown in the sewage of the sewer - wait... no.Dying in the sewers is embarrassing.

Tokyo, Arakawa District, Qianmen Town, there is an unnamed sewage sewer that is not even covered. It is not much better than the imperial capital Longxugou before the renovation.
