"First, let's talk about war. There are three reasons for the outbreak of war: the first is a stupid war without a head and no brain, such as in the Middle Ages in Europe, when a king thought he had been insulted, so he waged war against another country; The second is the most general war of interests, whether it is economic interests or religious interests, there must be benefits before wars are waged, because wars cost money; The third type is the anti-aggression war to defend the homeland and defend the country, which is the case with China's current war of resistance, while Japan's invasion of China belongs to the second type. ”

"To analyze Japan's invasion of China, it is necessary to understand the history of China, Europe, the United States, and Japan at the same time."

"Let's talk about Europe and the United States first. Before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Europe was not powerful. Even in the middle and early Qing Dynasty, European powers could not crush China militarily and economically. The rise of Europe began with the Renaissance, which exploded during the Great Voyage and the Industrial Revolution. The Renaissance broke the ideological confinement of Europe, ushered in the rapid development of natural science, and enabled global navigation in technology; Spain, Britain, and France completed the primitive accumulation of capitalism through colonial plunder through the Great Voyage, giving birth to the arrival of the Industrial Revolution; The Industrial Revolution led to the rise of the bourgeoisie, the rule of the old aristocracy was shaken, and so there was a bourgeois revolution, which led to the emergence of democratic republics and constitutional monarchies. This is how and why Europe has modernized. ”

"Twenty years ago, the European War (World War I) broke out, and the fundamental reason for its outbreak was that the world's colonies were carved up by Britain, France and other old powers. The emerging powers, led by Germany, could not obtain sufficient production resources and sufficient commodity markets, so they had to wage war to seize the colonial territory. Second, the rapid rise of the United States and Germany has led the old powers to adopt trade protectionism, which has exacerbated the contradictions in this regard. Finally, the development of science and technology has greatly improved production efficiency, and the great powers of all countries have the phenomenon of overcapacity, and it is necessary to expand the already insufficient trade market, thus making the contradictions between them more intense. ”

"So, the European war has to be fought, and it is a war of interests for the sake of production resources and trade markets."

"The European war had three far-reaching effects: first, the United States took advantage of the situation, second, European countries suffered heavy casualties, and third, Germany was overly suppressed and national sentiment was high. These effects have continued to this day, and the people of Europe have been frightened by the tragic casualties, so the people of Britain, France and other countries have called for peace. On the one hand, the governments of Britain, France, and other countries were afraid of public opinion, and on the other hand, they were afraid that the resumption of war would cheapen the United States, so they adopted a policy of appeasement for the war. The policy of appeasement has raised the ambitions of Germany, which is eager for revenge and rejuvenation, and has also made Japan's strategy of aggression against China unscrupulous. ”

"And why did Japan invade China? In my humble work "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", I made it very clear that Japan is an island country, and if it is a little stronger, it wants to touch the East Asian continent. From the Tang Dynasty to the present, Japan's invasion of China and Korea has occurred many times. ”

"Since the late Qing Dynasty, China has lagged behind the rest of the world. Under the connivance of European appeasement and the isolated diplomacy of the United States, Japan became even more frenzied, and so there were the 918 and 77 incidents. ”

"Then why do I say that China will win the War of Resistance? Look at the blackboard, I'll draw a map of the world. ”

"The world economic crisis, which began in the United States, led to financial difficulties for the great powers. Under the influence of public opinion, Britain and France and other countries have become more conservative, and the idea of appeasement has risen to an unprecedented height, and they have resolved the crisis through economic means like the United States. Germany and Japan, on the other hand, used the development of military power as a means to stimulate domestic production and consumption. Germany and Japan have overdrawn their national strength and frantically expanded their armed forces, and they will inevitably choose foreign aggression, and if they do not invade China, Japan's domestic economy will be almost unable to support it. The same is true of Germany, and the same is true of Italy, so Germany, Japan, and Italy formally formed a fascist alliance three months ago. ”

"The Japanese invasion of China, the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, and the German invasion of the Rhine demilitarized zone were only the beginning of the war. In the next step, Germany would inevitably choose to annex Austria and expand into the European allies of Britain and France, and the European countries would be forced to be involved in the war. And Japan is a small country, if they can't quickly occupy China, then they don't have more resources to fight, and the only option is to invade Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia, on the other hand, was the traditional power of the European powers, so it was inevitable that Britain and France would go to war with Japan, and a new world war was coming. ”

"This world war has been foreshadowed as early as the European war, and a careful study of the history of the European war will inevitably draw inspiration from it."

Speaking of this, some people were skeptical, some people suddenly became enlightened, and Zhou Hexuan unveiled the fog of the world to them.

"There are two keys to China's victory."

"First, China must persist in resistance, unite all forces that can be united, resist the war of resistance with the whole people, consume Japan's finances and resources as much as possible, and force Japan to take action against Southeast Asia as soon as possible."

"Second, the entry of the United States. The United States is blessed with a unique geographical location, and they can sit back and watch the tiger fight with confidence. Why did Japan bomb American warships, and the United States chose to compromise and forbear? It's not that the United States is afraid, but that the United States has a bigger intention, that is, to make war money. At this time, the United States not only cannot help China, but wants to help Japan and Germany, provide Japan and Germany with financial and resource support, and instigate them to carry out a war of aggression. As a result, the capitalists in the United States were able to sell arms and strategic resources on a large scale, so that the United States could completely emerge from the shadow of the Great Depression. When the world's major countries are involved in wars and fight with heavy losses, the United States will join in as a savior. In Europe 20 years ago, the United States did just that, and as long as Roosevelt was not stupid, the United States would still do it. Even if Roosevelt was a fool, the capitalists in the United States would have forced Roosevelt to do so. ”

"Why do the American capitalists want to end up in the war? Markets & 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 the sake of profit."

"If the United States intervenes, it will definitely be on China's side. Because if we sit back and watch Japan invade East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Ocean, the US market in the East will be destroyed, and there will be no market for US industrial products. Therefore, the foreign policy of the United States is very clear, that is, to first finance the aggressor country to provoke a war to make a profit, and then help the aggressor country to seize the world market and international status. From start to finish, the United States was the big winner. ”

"As for China, we must not just wait for the United States to enter the game, but must resist Japan with all our might. Otherwise, before the Americans can make a move, China will be completely defeated, and even the United States will not be able to return to heaven at that time. ”

Also, many people complained about why the central government did not declare war on Japan. The reason is simple, because of the Neutrality in War Law, once China declares war on Japan, China is bound by international law and cannot receive assistance from other countries, including military equipment, strategic materials and international loans. The same is true of Japan, which does not dare to declare war on China, because once it declares war, it will not be able to get American resources. By the day the two countries declare war on each other, Japan will not be far from defeat, so please wait and see! ”

Zhou Hexuan said so much, even if it was to give confidence to the Chinese people.

During the Anti-Japanese War, more than one-third of students, including Southwest Associated University, Central University, Chongqing University and other universities, threw their pens to go to the battlefield.

The students who listened to Zhou Hexuan's lecture in front of them, not to mention the seniors, half of the freshman and sophomore students may join the army to serve the country. It is important and necessary to give them confidence.

Now talking about the all-people war of resistance and defeating Japan entirely with China's strength, it is obviously more effective than saying that the United States entered the war, because the Chinese people are extremely lacking in self-confidence.

At least, the entry of the United States into the war gave everyone hope.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, although many people were skeptical of Zhou Hexuan's prediction, but more people chose to believe it. First, Zhou Hexuan's analysis is very reasonable, and secondly, people always think on the bright side.

Of course, there are also many who curse the United States and think that the Yankees are simply damned.
