Chapter 639: Curves Save the Country
When Shanyu and Erdenbu were digging out their hearts, Asano was not idle, and after he was depressed in no one for a while, Takumi Takizawa sent someone to find him. When he saw the big forehead again, Asano was almost scared to death, and the drunken Takumi Takizawa was killing people. More than a dozen sturdy people from Kumamoto Castle were tied up in the shape of hairy crabs, kneeling in a string one by one, and Takumi Takizawa was beheading one by one with a samurai* sword.
"Big Forehead!" Asano almost trembled and called Takizawa, he was not afraid that Takizawa would cut him, but Takizawa's inhumane behavior made him creepy.
"Division Commander, you're here! Come and try the knife, Wenbo just sent it to me at night, saying that it is the village demon knife! Takizawa looked very happy, and raised the knife in his hand, as if he wanted to show off.
"Uh...... A good knife indeed...... I'm not going to try! Asano felt a burst of nausea, looked at the head that was still rolling on the ground, and said something insincerely.
Asano didn't want to kill, and Takizawa didn't say anything, and the two smirked for a while, and then entered the dormitory of the lord of the Kumamoto domain together. After reassembling the cups and plates, Takizawa didn't drink a few glasses, but he began to sing and dance, as if he was drinking happily. After playing for a while, he drove out all the servants who were waiting, saying that he wanted to drink with Asano all night. The subordinates only promised, and no one hesitated, and they all obediently withdrew.
"Division Commander, don't worry! It's quiet here now, and there's no one in the miscellaneous department. Takizawa seemed to be an actor who had stepped off the stage, and suddenly withered.
"You?" Asano's sense of smell is very insensitive, but Takizawa has changed so much that he can still react.
"Don't worry! I can say anything with confidence and boldly! Unless it's a rebellion, the Miscellaneous Affairs Section can't afford to mess with Da Gege, so I definitely don't have anyone from the Miscellaneous Affairs Division! "Takizawa was also the focus of the miscellaneous affairs department, but then the miscellaneous affairs department missed something, and Da Gege Junyu almost scratched Fushun's face, and after that, Takizawa's front was very quiet.
"Ahem!" Asano didn't know what to say to Takizawa, although Takizawa was his old department, but the two didn't get along for long, and they didn't have any deep friendship.
"The commander of the division is gaining momentum, and the attack on Kyushu is also a remarkable achievement, how can there be anything unsatisfactory, why do you see you today, but you are bored!" Takizawa also knew that after meeting his own people, he was a little too excited, and he made a deep conversation. His identity and his attitude today, if you think from Asano's point of view, now it is clear that he is playing Asano's words.
"The general treats Asano Tianben with kindness, where do I have anything not to be satisfied with, but since the attack on Kyushu, the killing has been too great, and it has hurt Tianhe, so I feel a little uneasy in my heart!" Asano leaked a little, but he was still very cautious, he really suspected that Takizawa was here to trick him.
"Division Commander, I am also Japanese, I know the pain in your heart very well, but we have to kill! Our sin today is indeed too heavy, but we are saving people! If we kill one person, we will save ten people, and if we release one person, we will harm hundreds of people. For the sake of the future of the Yamato nation, we must kill, and we must kill it cleanly and thoroughly, otherwise the Yamato nation will not escape the scourge of extermination in the future! "Asano doesn't tell the truth, Takizawa can only start by himself.
"You're talking about it!" Asano can be sure that Takizawa is a lobbyist sent by Koko, so as not to be unconvinced.
"You think I'm trying to make sense, no, no, no, I'm telling the truth! You are clear about the gap between the national strength and military strength between Japan and North Manchuria, and if Japan and North Manchuria fight to the end, what do you think will be the end? Takizawa asked Asano rhetorically.
Takizawa Takumi actually loves the Japanese Empire more than Asano, he was born in the Hizen Domain, and his former desire was also the Restoration, but because he was really from a humble background and shy in his pocket, he had to devote himself to Northern Manchu in order to survive. When he first joined the mercenary division, Takizawa did not have the intention of learning the military technology of Northern Manchukuo and returning to China to serve in the future. And now the people of Kyushu slaughtered by Asano can be regarded as the hometown father of Takizawa, and his pain is much deeper than Asano. When Goxinga sent troops to Japan, Takizawa was in pain at home, and when Kagoshima slaughtered the city, he was even more heartbroken, but in the end he figured it out. Japan was simply powerless to resist North Manchuria, so Japan should submit, just as he surrendered to Junyu Gege.
"It's just an egg hitting a stone!" Asano was confident that he could run rampant in Japan with his mercenary division, and there were too many troops in Northern Manchukuo that were more powerful than his mercenary division.
"Do you think that the Japanese rulers and the samurai of all Japan will give up this idea of striking stones?" Takizawa poured himself a drink and asked Asano again and again.
"No!" Most of the samurai were concerned about the general situation in the world, so Asano also knew the situation in Japan very well, and even if there was no war, there would be a war between Japan and Manchuria sooner or later. In order for Japan to develop, it must go out, and if it wants to go out, it must defeat its neighboring Manchuria, and this is an unchangeable thing.
"There can only be one hegemon in East Asia, and China has been it for thousands of years, but Japan has never given up the idea of competing for hegemony. What a behemoth China is! How can Japan, with its small country and small people, challenge it? At this time of unprecedented changes, if Japan challenges the Qing Dynasty, there may be a glimmer of opportunity, but in the face of the sudden rise of Northern Manchuria, where is the opportunity? "When Takizawa was a teenager, he also fantasized about Japan's domination of East Asia, and now he is not without emotion.
"The Great General is not a person who can tolerate Japan's challenge to him, so he will not sit idly by and watch Japan's development, as long as Japan has the slightest thought, the Great General will immediately strangle Japan with thunderous means, and Japan will have no chance of development at all. The Taiwan incident was nothing but an excuse, and the general saw Japan's intention to concentrate and develop in order to compete for hegemony in East Asia, so he set out to attack Japan. Even if there is no Taiwan incident, there will be the Qingdao incident, the Korean incident, and what the general wants is just an excuse to strangle Japan! "Takizawa accompanies his noble wife at home every day, but his mind is very lively, and he thinks of a lot of things.
"Alas! There is no hope for Japan for a long time! Asano knew very well that one day from the rise of North Manchuria, Japan was destined to be only a vassal of the hegemon of East Asia.
"It's not that there is no hope, it's that you're dying! In today's situation, if Japan still does not submit and attempts to hegemonize the imperial country, it will be seeking its own death. The consequence of hitting a stone with an egg will only be the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species! "It's rare for Takizawa to see Goxinga, but after all, he is a member of the clan, and he has a lot of opportunities to contact people at the top, and he can still feel Goxinga's intention to destroy the sun.
"All the princes in power are heroes of the world, how can they be afraid of difficulties and surrender, and they will inevitably fight like carps." The Japanese have a habit of flattering each other, and although Asano has never met Okubo Ritsu and others, he is still willing to glorify them as heroes who are rare to see in a thousand years.
"The result of their heroic deeds will only be to endanger the emperor and the entire Yamato nation to perdition!" Takizawa is not interested in the heroes of Japan, and the township heroes in the land of projectiles are just like that in his eyes, after all, the exploits of Guoxinga and others are calculated in millions of square kilometers.
"Alas!" Asano had nothing to do but let out a long sigh.
"Now I can only rely on you, to save the Yamato nation, you can't be the commander of the Asano Division!" Takizawa slammed Asano's drawer.
"Me?" Asano was shocked, he didn't think he was a heroic character, and Takizawa's words seemed to have the intention of encouraging him to fight against Goxinga.
"For today's plan, if you don't move the curve, you can't save Japan, and if you save the country with the curve, then you can't save the Asano Division!" Takizawa didn't drink anymore, but just looked at Asano with an enthusiastic face.
"How?" Asano thought about it, but he didn't find a clue.
"You don't have to do anything, just obey the general's orders, and do as much as possible, the general wants one, and if you can do two, you will save the country." The more Takizawa's words were spoken, the more mysterious they became.
"The general just asked me to kill people and slaughter the city!" Asano shook his head in annoyance.
"Killing people is also saving the country! The more you kill, the more hope there is for Japan! Takizawa nodded repeatedly.
"How can killing people save Japan?" Asano was puzzled.
"We were born in the Edo period, but we shouldn't be completely unaware of the events of the Warring States period! As soon as the slaughter of the city and the plundering of the territory comes out, they will be terrified, and they will be intimidated by our military prestige and submit to the general. The more you kill, the greater the deterrent, the more people will surrender, and the fewer people will resist. If Japan asks for surrender, the general will not persecute it too much, and Japan will have any hope of survival. If all parts of the country are not afraid and still resist, then the flames of war will burn all over Japan, attacking city by city, even if there is no order to slaughter the city, I am afraid that there will not be many people left in Japan! "Takizawa understands the character of the Japanese very well, and once a large-scale massacre is carried out, the Japanese will inevitably fear submission.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese also used this trick on the Chinese, hoping to make the Chinese fear and submit through massacre. As a result, the Chinese and the Japanese are different, the Japanese are afraid to submit, but the Chinese have risen to the challenge, and the new Great Wall built by flesh and blood has dragged down the hegemony of the Japanese emperor. However, this trick was extremely effective against the Japanese, and as long as there was such a terrible massacre in the Japanese war, the defenders would inevitably collapse.
"But so!" Asano also nodded repeatedly.
"If you obey the will of the general and complete the task perfectly, you will not only be able to further appreciate you, but also protect more Japanese. If you are a woman for a while, not only will the general no longer trust you, but Japan will be completely hopeless! Takizawa held Asano's hand tightly.
"Thank you! Without your teachings, Asano and I would still be obsessed! Asano was relieved, and the stubborn knot in his heart was finally opened.
