Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944
Chapter 18: Harming the Gentry
"Miyauchi-san, what do you think about the future?"
Cui Jianchu is a smart man.
Whether it was when he went to study in Japan or when he returned to China to make a living.
He is one step faster than others most of the time.
So he also realized that the Japanese probably didn't have much time left.
Now there has been a turning point on the European battlefield.
The Normandy landings had been successful, and the Soviet Union had begun to push back.
As long as Germany is defeated, the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States will definitely turn around and deal with Japan.
Even now America's main focus is on Europe.
Just a part of the US fleet had already fought back and forth with Japan in the Pacific.
The thought of the United States transferring all its troops sent to Europe to East Asia makes me feel uncomfortable.
By the way, the Soviet Union's million-strong army also followed south.
With Japan's small body, there is no way it can withstand being abused by two big men.
Miyauchi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.
He looked at Cui Jianchu with burning eyes, but did not say anything.
Now all the smart people in Japan are not optimistic about Japan's future.
If Japan did not provoke the United States, the Soviet Union.
If Japan only manages places like North Korea, Northeast China and Taiwan, its future will definitely be bright.
But Japan is too big now.
Not only did they swallow up most of China, they also occupied parts of Southeast Asia.
And also attacked the United States.
Occupying southern China and Southeast Asia was tantamount to robbing the Western powers of their colonies.
This is a struggle for interests. As long as the Western powers catch their breath, they will definitely take it back.
At the same time, Pearl Harbor in the United States was attacked.
This is like jumping up and slapping America in the face.
As long as the United States wants to be a great power, it must retaliate, and retaliate severely.
To the extent of deterring other countries.
It is precisely because of his understanding of the international situation that the palace is worried.
Now Cui Jianchu asked him this question directly.
It is obvious that Cui Jianchu is not optimistic about Japan's future either.
He is not optimistic about Japan's future and will devote himself to Japan wholeheartedly, but people like Cui Jianchu are not optimistic about Japan.
Then it is very likely that they will betray Japan.
Cui Jianchu was a little frightened by the looks in the palace.
He hurriedly explained
“Miyauchi-kun, please don’t misunderstand me, I mean if the empire’s front line shrinks.
So will the lives of local residents be even more difficult?
I am worried about your family."
After hearing Cui Jianchu's words, Gongnei finally smiled.
It’s not that he believed Cui Jianchu’s words, but even if he knew that Cui Jianchu wanted to jump ship, he couldn’t do anything about it.
"Don't worry about that, the difficulties are only temporary, and our empire's soldiers will never fail.
American soldiers are all spoiled brats who cannot endure any hardship.
According to our investigation, even your Chinese soldiers are better at enduring hardships and fighting spirit than American soldiers.
The United States is strong only in its weapons and resources.
But you have to remember that all weapons are used by people.
If a soldier has no will to fight, it would be a waste even if he is given the most advanced weapons.
Among Chiang Kai-shek's ace troops, which one had poor equipment?
But why did they suffer defeat after defeat and achieve no results?
The main reason is that their tactics and fighting spirit are too poor.
I believe that we will definitely defeat the United States.
As long as the stalemate lasts for a while, once the Empire has the resources, it can compete with the United States."
Miyano had a glimmer of hope about the future.
The words he just said were also what he often said to comfort himself.
He completely ignores the current resource gap between Japan and the United States.
I just hope that the United States can be delayed by Europe for a few more years, preferably until Japan completely digests the occupied territories.
By then, the population and resources under Japan's control will be enough to compete with those of the United States.
But these are just the Japanese's beautiful fantasies.
Due to the activities of the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines,
Japan has never been able to make its population dense through industrial development plans.
The North China region, which is rich in natural resources, has become a positive-income region.
On the contrary, a large amount of manpower and material resources are needed to maintain law and order in North China.
In the Northeast region, the resistance activities of the Anti-Japanese United Army also caused military expenditures to remain high in the fiscal expenditures of the puppet Manchukuo.
In other words, Japan's occupation of North China was a losing business.
It is a burden to the country.
It was precisely because of the efforts of the base areas behind enemy lines that the Japanese realized that it was no longer possible to quickly occupy and control China.
So they sent troops to Southeast Asia, thinking that the countries in Southeast Asia would quickly surrender.
Then mount their chariots and join them in the fight against the Allies.
In order to achieve this goal, they also painted a big pie for Southeast Asian countries.
Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
Cui Jianchu didn't take any of the words in the palace seriously.
“Well, after listening to what Miyauchi-kun said, I feel much more at ease.
A few days ago, I received a telegram from my son, in which he said that life in Japan is also very difficult.
Hope I can mail him more money every month.
After I mailed it to him yesterday, I thought of Miyauchi-kun and Koinu-kun.
I thought your families might not be doing well either.
I just want you to make more money so that your family can live better."
Cui Jianchu is a man who can do anything as long as there is money to be made.
His main purpose today is to drag Gong Nei into the water and make money with him.
When Miyane heard that there was money to be made, he also became interested.
Patriotism is patriotism, and making money is making money. The two are not contradictory.
"Mr. Cui, let us make more money? What do you mean?"
Cui Jianchu looked around and asked the two waitresses standing next to him to go down.
"Miyauchi-kun, the imperial army is very short of food right now."
"Hmm? What do you mean? You can get food?"
"I can't, but the Imperial Army can."
Miyano didn't understand.
Now the Japanese devils have already plundered the land for food.
They plundered all the food that could be collected.
"Appreciate further details!"
“Miyauchi-kun, I know that the empire has always been very kind to the gentry. They just have to pay a sum of money so that they can continue to enjoy the same treatment as before.
But do you know how much food these gentry have at home? Since the imperial army is short of food, why not let these gentry donate their food?"
Cui Jianchu dared to come up with this bad idea mainly because he saw that the Japanese were about to be destroyed.
At this time, the Japanese would not consider long-term rule as they had before.
We must do our best to collect supplies.
As long as the Japanese attacked the gentry, he could profit from it.
After hearing what Cui Jianchu said, Gong Nei suddenly had an epiphany.
Yes, I wanted to rule for a long time, so I was quite polite to these gentry.
But now that the empire is on the verge of bankruptcy, shouldn’t these gentry also donate some of their property?
“This is not good, they are all good citizens under the rule of the Imperial Army, and we want to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
You can’t treat them like this.”
Gong Nei said that this was not good, but he did not say it was not allowed.
He wanted Cui Jianchu to find a reasonable excuse for him.
