Chapter 31 Nan Lixiang

Subtitle of this chapter: After thinking about it, Murong decided to respect Japanese performing artists and not always joke about them. After all, these teachers are still very dedicated than their colleagues in a major country in the East.

……………………

"In the early 20th century, two pamphlets appeared in Japan that had a profound impact on history: one was the Outline of the Japanese Reform Act, and the other was the "Japan Can Say No". Later, people combined these two books into one and called it the Japanese version of "My Struggle".

"The author of the "Outline of the Japanese Reform Act" is Kitaichiko, the 'Father of Japanese Fascism'."

"In 1906, when he was twenty-three years old, he joined the Revolutionary Commentary and the Tongmenghui, and began his thirteen-year career in the Chinese revolution. After Japan occupied Qingdao, the Chinese people's anti-Japanese sentiment was high, and Kitaichiko thought he would no longer serve the Chinese revolution. After that, he began to turn his attention back to Japan. In order to seek peaceful coexistence between China and Japan, he advocated overturning the current Japanese political system and completely abandoning the traditional Chinese policy of invading China as a country. In 1919, he wrote the "Outline of the Japanese Reform Act" in Shanghai, advocating the reconstruction of Japan by force revolution."

"This book is divided into eight parts, and the last part is the rights of the state. In addition to defense, the state has the right to start war for other countries and nations that are strongly oppressed by injustice, such as India, China, Siberia and Australia."

"Kitakaki claimed that Japan is the international proletariat, Russia is the world's big landlord, and Britain is the world's richest man, and it is just to start a war against them. Through war, an Asian empire centered on Japan was established, and then abolish national borders and achieve world peace."

"However, Japan Can Say No" is more radical than the Outline of the Japan Reform Act. It unabashedly put forward the claim of "the ultimate war in the world". Only one between the yellow and the white people can dominate the world in the end. Therefore, Japan, as the representative of the yellow people, must prepare for this war from the moment."

"However, the author of "Japan Can Say Not" only has one pseudonym, or a feminine pseudonym, Minami Rika (Minarika). Most historians in later generations believe that the author used this pseudonym to pay tribute to Kitaichi. He must be a believer of national socialism. And according to the Japanese version of the writing method, this person should be an officer with a complete military education. It is very likely that he will be a member of the "Showa Staff" in the future."

"The way "Japan Can Say Not" is circulated is also very strange. The place known to this booklet was not Japan, but the United States. When it first appeared in front of the world, it was actually in the English version. No wonder Japan called it a fake "slander of the Great Japanese Empire" at that time."

"However, neither Americans nor Japanese in the same era view "Japan Can Say Not" this way..."

——Excerpt from "100 Books that Influenced the Twentieth Century"

After reading it, Minister Shi Zhaoji couldn't help but shake his head and sneer: "What a battle between yellow and white, it's really a fool..."

"Hongjian..." He pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it."

Our Master Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Zhi Gong, you think it's a fool, but some fools in this world are really having such a big dream, and some unintentional people want other fools to have such a big dream. And we want the whole world to know that the Japanese are such a fool."

Shi Zhaoji was not stupid, and he completely understood Yuan Yanshu's tongue twister. However, he was a little dissatisfied with this operation method, and smiled and shook his head, "Hongjian, I understand what I mean. However, your idea is too wild, and it's a bit... cough cough."

The intellectual who was still too angry with the turban swallowed the four words "using any means" and then said: "What's more, will the Westerners believe it if we throw out this booklet?"

Yuan Yan suddenly retorted: "Zhigong, why don't the Westerners believe it? They can believe the even more absurd Huang Peru theory, so why can't they believe the battle between Huang and Bai?"

Whether a hundred years ago or a hundred years later, there must be fewer and far fewer Westerners who know the East than Easterners who know the West.

There is no way, the center of human civilization after the Age of Discovery and the Renaissance is indeed in the Western world. It can be said that Western civilization suppresses Eastern civilization in all aspects, which forced Easterners, especially elites, to understand the West and deal with Westerners.

Capitalism, which pursues profits despite all obstacles, has allowed Western industrial products to penetrate into every household of Oriental people. For example, in 1914, Mobil Oil had more than 500 outlets in China. Anyone who can afford kerosene lamps knows the name of this company.

So at that time, even when he was in the Bin Township, he was ignorant and even thought that the emperor's ignorant civilians had learned from these foreign oils, foreign fires, foreign nails, foreign guns and cannons that the big noses of Westerners were so powerful.

Conversely, Westerners, their civilian class, and most elites do not have this need to understand the East.

This Western-centrism and public opinion hegemony further blocked Westerners' channels for understanding the East.

This is why until the 21st century, some Westerners still thought that the Cyris were still wearing braids and wrapped their feet.

For example, the famous Japanese culture monograph "Chrysanthemum and the Sword", the author of this book, is indeed an anthropologist, but she has never been to Japan or even understood Japanese.

She simply "constructed" the overview of Japanese culture through the promotional films released by Japan at that time, interview records of Japanese Americans and prisoners of war in concentration camps, and information collected from Japanese literary works.

The bisexual anthropologist concluded that the Japanese men were spoiled, which led to many contradictory personalities when they grew up.

In this way, the little suns of a big country in the East, including Yuan Hongjian, will become neon gold when they grow up.

To our Master Yuan, "Chrysanthemum and the Sword" is simply a joke. He will not copy it even if he beats it to death... Well, he will be anonymous even if he copys it.

However, because of this, he can easily guide Western public opinion to "smear" Japan. Anyway, even Mrs. Nidicett has not been there these days.

Yuan Yan Shu said earnestly: "Mr. Zhi, Machiavelli has a famous saying: When you can win by deception, you must never rely on force. Another wise man said, don't let your sense of morality prevent you from making the right decision."

Well, this sage is called Isaac Asimov.

"It's better not to say the force of our country, and this book is not a deception, it was written by the Japanese themselves..."

Hi, Japanese people ten years later are also Japanese.

"Of course, we don't believe in rumors or spread rumors, but we can still help Westerners recognize the true face of the Japanese and make them more vigilant. Zhigong, Zhigong, this has all the benefits and no disadvantages for peace in East Asia and even the world."

Alas, for the sake of world peace and to make things difficult for the Japanese, please follow us!
