Chapter 25 Proportions and Weight

The country's "defection" really made Murakami Sadamasa extremely angry. 【Reading.com】

At the end of the negotiations in Geneva, Murakami had a premonition that something big was going to happen. Before he could react, the United States "betrayed" Japan in the "quadripartite talks." Subsequently, the United States played the "Taiwan card," and with Murakami's mind, it was impossible not to understand the intentions of the United States.

In Murakami's view, the United States is on the side of Japan.

Among the three major events, the United States played the leading role, and China only took the opportunity to put pressure on Japan.

Because the Geneva talks came first and the "quadripartite talks" came later, Murakami had enough reason to believe that the United States would do its best to improve relations with the Republic and prevent Japan from making a fuss about Taiwan. Murakami even has reason to believe that the United States is encouraging China to wage war against Japan through this series of moves.

If this is the case, Japan will pay not only the angry China, but also the cunning United States.

Before Tamu Shinohara's return to Tokyo, Mura asked Shunji Kiryu to put aside all afternoon meetings and work activities and spend hours alone in the office.

The situation is very complex and the outcome is unpredictable.

During the talks, the United States suddenly stated that all nuclear-weapon states, except for the five permanent members of the Security Council, should completely eliminate their nuclear weapons. Although O'Neill hinted at Japan in the negotiations that as long as Japan destroys all nuclear weapons and renounces the right to develop nuclear weapons, the United States will not only provide Japan with a nuclear umbrella, but also make China promise not to use nuclear weapons against Japan; However, Japan is unlikely to accept such a negotiation result, because no commitment from the United States and China will fundamentally ensure Japan's security. Even if China does not use nuclear weapons against Japan, Japan will not become safer if it gives up nuclear weapons because of the huge gap in conventional military power between the two sides, but will only become more vulnerable.

The United States' approach is tantamount to acknowledging that Japan only deserves to be a second-rate or even a third-rate country.

This result is not only unacceptable to Japan. Murakami Sada, too, couldn't accept it.

Even if Japan becomes a "nuclear power" under the leadership of Murakami Sadamasa. As long as Murakami is making any commitments related to the destruction of nuclear weapons in the "quadripartite negotiations". On his behalf, Tamu Shinohara's signature on the negotiation agreement was the site of a military coup in Japan.

The problem in front of Murakami Sadamasa is: Behind him is an abyss. Compromise only brought him to ruin.

No compromises. I can only keep going.

Keep going. There will be a war with China!

With the help of the United States, China has made it clear. The Quartet cannot be dragged on forever. The Japanese nuclear issue must be resolved as soon as possible. Although China has not stated in any diplomatic statement that it will use war to solve the problem, it is in accordance with traditional Eastern culture. No leader will talk about 'war'. Negotiations cannot be used to resolve issues that have a bearing on the fundamental interests of the country. The only thing left is war.

After calming down, Murakami realizes that there are not many options left for him.

Although the United States has sent a signal to warn Japan not to manipulate the Taiwan issue, Murakami really has no other choice. If Taiwan is not used to contain China, will it be a war with China?

India has been staying out of the woods and has not said that it will fight alongside Japan.

Even if Japan has nuclear weapons, can Japan be the first to use them in war?

Murakami Sadamasa does not want to become the last prime minister of Japan, let alone bury the Yamato nation with his own hands. As long as Japan is the first to use nuclear weapons in the war, even if the nuclear warheads do not fall on the Chinese mainland and fall into China's exclusive economic waters, China has every reason to use hundreds or thousands of nuclear warheads to make Japan and the Yamato nation history.

In a large-scale conventional war, none of the 0 Japan is necessarily China's opponent.

Although Murakami has never visited China and has never been to China, he is well aware of China's national sentiment. China can defend Korea with the lives and blood of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Peninsula War, and it will defeat Japan with the lives and blood of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of soldiers.

In the words of Chinese youths on the Internet: I am willing to donate my life to fight Japan!

If a full-scale war breaks out with China, even if the United States supports Japan with all its might, Japan will lose the war, and it will lose completely!

When the decision was made to develop nuclear weapons, Sakami realized that Japan would never go to war with China until it had the strength to completely destroy China. Although China did not take advantage of the East China Sea War to launch a full-scale war against Japan, no one can deny that China did not have the strength to completely defeat Japan in 16 years. More importantly, China was involved in the East China Sea War by extreme accident and won the final victory, achieving all the objectives of the war. China in 2027 not only has the ability to completely defeat Japan, but also has the determination to completely eliminate Japan.

Only a real madman would fight a full-scale war with China at this time.

The only way to avoid war is for China to divert its attention from more pressing issues.

At a meeting of all the officials of the cabinet and the military department, Murakami made the decision to use Taiwan to contain China, with the aim of making China give up the initiative to Japan

to concentrate on solving the Taiwan issue. Although according to the military department's estimate, it will take two to three years for China to fundamentally resolve the Taiwan issue by military means, Murakami is not so optimistic, and he has only one goal: to get China to make concessions in the "quadripartite talks."

As long as China makes concessions in the "Quad talks", Japan will be given extremely valuable time.

After a few years of negotiations, India will be able to shed its dependence on China and pose a threat to China. Without dealing with India, China is likely to concentrate its efforts on resolving the southern Tibetan issue. In order to avoid a two-front war, China will certainly improve relations with Japan when dealing with India. With India, Japan was able to gain more time. As long as Japan perfects its national strategic strike force during this period and acquires a strategic retaliatory capability sufficient to destroy China, even if it is only capable of breaking through China's "national strategic defense system," China will compromise with Japan on fundamental issues and avoid a full-scale war with Japan.

A very clear and purposeful strategic development plan.

For Japan, all that is missing is time.

Murakami did not estimate China's leaders, because since Japan possessed nuclear weapons, all of China's foreign policies and foreign actions have been directed against Japan, even the war on the peninsula.

By participating in the Korean Peninsula War, China did not want to help Korea complete reunification, otherwise it would not have allowed North Korea to fight a civil war for several months.

China's root is to obtain a forward base for attacking the Japanese mainland! Both Busan and Jeju Island at the southern tip of the peninsula were springboards for China to attack the Japanese mainland. In the words of the generals, China can destroy all the major cities on Kyushu Island, the western part of Honshu Island, and the northwest region of Shikoku Island with long-range rocket artillery deployed on the southern tip of the peninsula and Jeju Island without using bombers.

Japan's policy of tightening has left Japan with nowhere to escape.

Since 20211, China has spent a full six years preparing for war with Japan.

Will China give up its six-month war plan because of the problem of face or the reason for war?

Others can not worry about this issue, but Murakami Sadamasa must consider this issue.

If the answer is in the affirmative, Murakami will have to refrain from giving China a reason to go to war; If the answer is no, Murakami Sadamasa will have to put Japan into a state of war as soon as possible.

When making the decision to meddle in Taiwan's affairs, Murakami believed that China needed a casus belli, so he asked the intelligence services to try to keep a low profile and not get into trouble. What's more, Murakami's request for the intelligence services to report on the situation before taking any substantive action must be approved.

What happened on July 11 and 12 changed Murakami's perception.

The "indulgent attitude" of the United States will certainly boost China's determination and confidence in seeking a military solution to Japan's nuclear issue and make China lower the threshold for starting a war. As a result, it is likely that China will not deliberately justify war, let alone wait for the situation to become out of control.

Should Japan be prepared for war?

This question has been pondered by Murakami for a long time.

Although Japan has been preparing for war, it has not taken substantive steps on key issues that would have triggered it. If Japan suddenly prepares for war with great fanfare and puts the country into a state of readiness, it will inevitably send a signal to China that war is about to break out and that war can only be solved by war, thus triggering war. If war had broken out without Japan's preparation, the outcome would have been even more difficult to conceive.

This is a very difficult decision for any leader.

It's like doing surgery, you have to get the right balance and severity.

When Shunji Kiryu came to inform Shinohara's arrival, Murakami Sadamasa made a decision.

Regardless of whether China decides to start a war against Japan or not, it will make it clear in the "quadripartite talks" that it will not immediately turn against Japan at the negotiating table.

It's not too late to see China's reaction before making a decision!

Seeing Shinohara, Murakami first asked about the details of the negotiations, and then asked Shinohara, to prepare to return to Jeju to participate in the sixth round of negotiations.

After sending off the negotiators, Murakami asked Kiryu Shunji to contact Foreign Minister Kitayama Shikawa, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a diplomatic note to the other three countries in the "quadripartite talks," saying that Japan was willing to participate in the sixth round of talks, but should not express Japan's attitude toward the negotiations in the note. During the phone call with Kitayama Shikawa, Murakami clearly felt that this "ultra-nationalist" was very dissatisfied with the prime minister's performance in the "quadripartite negotiations" and thought that the prime minister was too weak.

seemed to let go of a stone in his heart, and Murakami Sadamasa suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

During dinner, Murakami asked Kiryu Shunji to contact Ryohei Taniki and ask the director of the National Security Bureau to come over in the evening to report on his work.

After the turmoil in the military headquarters, Murakami did not like to deal with work affairs at night.

Only under very special circumstances will Murakami Sadamasa let people come to report at night!
