Chapter 10023 What is a Great Power?
The slaughter of the tiger did not preclude Jews from becoming soldiers of the Wehrmacht. Because he knew that this was just a way for the Jews to show favor for their right to live, not for what they wanted to snatch.
And the Jews can't make any waves in China, they don't have the heart or the courage to do this.
Linsen would not have understood the Jewish feeling of not having a homeland. In other words, the whole coalition government and even the Wehrmacht will not understand the Jewish feeling of being like a drifter in the wind without a homeland.
"It's a heavenly feeling to have a homeland! How ecstasy can call a place, a place, a corner, its own, on this lovely earth...... Together with your comrades, you will accomplish this great task, they will not deny your brotherly title, and you will win it. ”
The words of David Friedlander, a Jewish volunteer in the Prussian army during the Napoleonic Wars, in his book "Total Regret".
Without a motherland, they want to be recognized more than anyone else, to have a motherland that belongs to them and shelters them. This is why after World War II, the entire Jewish nation spared no effort to build Israel.
Germany, on the other hand, had the most liberal Jewish policy in Europe during World War I, which resulted in 120,000 Jews serving in the German army, of whom 120,000 died in the war.
But what is even less well known is that even with the current fierce anti-Semitic policies in Germany, 150,000 Jews, half-Jews, and one-quarter Jews still serve in the German army.
"Let them join! There's nothing bad about that. Tu Menghu smiled, he knew that the Jews were in desperate need of recognition. In Europe, they have been discriminated against and persecuted too much.
Even so, there were countless Jews who wanted to join these armies. In exchange for their own blood and life, they will be recognized by these countries.
In present-day Germany, for example, Marcosnamann, president of the National Jewish Association of Germany, wrote to Hitler in 1935 if the government gave Jews the opportunity to serve in the army. He vouched that they would prove that they were no worse than the Aryans.
But his proposal was rejected by Hitler and the military. But the Jews did not give up, and even in 1940, when the anti-Jewish situation was extremely serious, the Jews did not give up hope of joining the German team.
"Jews need to identify so much...... Tu Menghu sighed, "Teacher, you tell them." As long as they can get the military merit medal of the second class, then those who are willing to become Chinese nationals can join. ”
"They can have freedom of belief and permanent residence, and I will give them everything that belongs to the Chinese." After a pause, Tu Menghu smiled and said, "The Jews can be classified as our minority at that time and dealt with according to the minority policy." ”
Yan Zhengqing smiled and nodded. In fact, a strong country is not just about the strength of the country. What's more important is to deal with major things.
At this point. Obviously, Lin Sen and they are not as good as Tu Menghu. Although they have to admit that Lin Sen's experience, their handling of government affairs, and their diplomatic acumen are not comparable.
But in this regard, Lin Sen and the others are inferior to Tu Menghu after all. The biggest reason is that Tu Menghu's background is a later generation.
What kind of China will China be in the future?! The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and one of the few powerful countries in the world that can possess nuclear weapons, missiles, satellites and even nuclear submarine technology at the same time.
Since its founding in 1949, this country has openly and covertly cooperated with the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France...... and so on, and other countries have played against each other countless times. Never lost in a war.
These. All of them have established an extremely strong position in the military and political affairs of this country. And this also affected Tu Menghu's judgment and way of doing things.
Unlike Tu Menghu, Lin Sen was born in the turbulent late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. All they see is weakness, and what they touch is decay. Therefore, most of their policies are based on the mentality of a weak country.
This mentality is not bad, but if you want to build a strong country, the mentality of a weak country must be adjusted. If this is not the case, the upward and downward effects will inevitably affect the external attitude of the whole country.
This kind of foreign attitude does not only refer to diplomacy, but also includes war, international affairs, and the introduction of talents...... and so on, and so on, which affect the whole body.
"I want to be a big country, to be a big country. It is necessary to have the mentality of a great power. The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance. Yan Zhengqing pushed his glasses and said.
"In the Tang Dynasty, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, Qixun He Li, Ashina Sheer, and Hei Zhi Changzhi ...... During the Ming Dynasty, Aluge lost Li, Xue Shoutong, and Timur ...... Until the death of the Ming Dynasty, Man Gui, who died fighting for the emperor's capital, was a former foreign general. And they are also loyal and brave men. The country is strong and has the heart to accept all rivers, and naturally there are loyal and brave people who die for it without regrets. ”
Yan Zhengqing looked at Lin Sen and the others and said, "We will find that if you want to become a strong country, you must first have this kind of bearing." If you come. I welcome! If you go, I will send you off. Those who use it are not suspicious, and those who come are not afraid. Be open-minded and tolerant of the world. This can be a big country! ”
Yan Zhengqing's words made Lin Sen and the others a little ashamed. In the words of later generations, their ideas were somewhat small-scale peasant consciousness. In fact, this cannot be blamed on them, on the one hand, they are all old now, and they are a group of political personnel who have grown up in semi-colonial and semi-feudal China.
On the other hand, it is true that in recent years, the country has developed too fast, and they have not kept up with the pace of the times in terms of thinking. After all, the sudden transformation from a semi-colonial, semi-feudal country to a major power in Asia is too fast.
It's so fast that it's so dizzying that many officials like Lin Sen and others can't change their roles conceptually. In the handling of political, military, and even diplomatic issues, it still retains the profound atmosphere of the Republic of China era.
"We ...... It's already a big country......" Lin Sen was silent for a while, and suddenly said with emotion. As he spoke, the old man suddenly dripped a few cloudy tears from his bloodshot eyes......
No one has a greater sense of the word "great power" than they do.
Once upon a time, China's rivers were like public toilets, on which boats of any nationality could rampage. Shanghai's highways are like an adventure paradise for foreigners, and the families of the Chinese people who were killed in the crash are crying and grabbing the ground, but as a government, there is nothing to do.
Once upon a time, Germany, France, England ...... In Japan, the ambassadors of any country can defy the leader of that country, and even send troops to defeat Jinan and torture Chinese diplomats, but the government can only swallow its anger.
At that time, if you open a map of China, you will see "concessions" that exist all over the country. All the regions are divided into a piece of cake, and the great powers of each country are divided.
At that time, the government was even extremely afraid that any Japanese would die in China. For fear that this would cause a war, the troops of the national government at that time looked at the Japanese army as if they were looking at the invincible heavenly soldiers.
"We, already a big country......" were silent for a few moments, and some of the members of the Supreme Council of the coalition government began to sob quietly.
They remembered the grievances they had to endure because the country was weak.
"Let them join! We are already a big country, and a big country should have the atmosphere of a big country. A big country should have the strength of a big country! Lin Sen raised his head, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and smiled.
"Our five thousand years of China have been incomparably brilliant. It's been too aggrieved in the past 100 years, and it's time for us to rise. Lin Sen suddenly got up, looked at Su Zongzhe, chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, and said, "Qi Liu, tell our sons and daughters of the National Defense Forces!" Take the bones of those Japanese people and tell the world about the rise of Ming! ”
"My old man's time is running out, I hope that in my lifetime I can still see our motherland standing tall among the nations of the world, and my Chinese people can proudly tell them: I am the blood of Yan and Huang!"
"Yes! It will definitely live up to Lin Gong's expectations! Su Zongzhen stood up excitedly, and replied loudly with red eyes: "Our soldiers will fight to the death, and we will let China stand again among the nations of the world!" ”
As he spoke, Tu Menghu and Su Zongzhen both stood up and gave a solemn military salute to the old man.
On the aircraft carrier of the Wehrmacht Navy, a gray-haired old man was welcomed. The old man, dressed in the uniform of a Wehrmacht Admiral, stood tall like a javelin and walked around the aircraft carrier.
Shen Honglie, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Navy, accompanied the old man and constantly introduced the advanced nature and various functions of the aircraft carrier to the old man all the way.
Shen Honglie even led the old man onto the bridge to observe the training of aircraft carrier fighters taking off and landing.
"This is an aircraft carrier...... This is our aircraft carrier......" The old man couldn't help but cry as he watched the battleship ride the wind and waves at sea and the fighter plane soaring in the sky.
"Yes! Marshal, this is our aircraft carrier! Our aircraft carriers for the Chinese! Shen Honglie couldn't cry, how long has the Chinese Navy waited for this day?! After Dadonggou, the essence of the Chinese Navy was lost. The road to the rise of sea power has been interrupted......
"Hahaha...... In my lifetime, I have seen the launch of the aircraft carrier of our Chinese Navy, and this life is in vain! Hahaha...... "The old man is the living fossil of the Chinese Navy and the famous admiral Sa Zhenbing."
"Nope! Old marshal, this is not enough! Shen Honglie burst into tears, looked at the old man and said firmly: "You just saw the aircraft carrier in the ranks, this is not enough!" What we want you to see is that our Chinese Navy can travel all over the world! Restore my sea frontier!! ”
"This is just the first aircraft carrier, in the future we will have a second, a third or even dozens of aircraft carriers!" Shen Honglie's eyes were red, and he looked at the old man and said, "Old marshal, you need to take care of your health!" The moment when our navy is in the sea! ”
Sa Zhenbing's eyes suddenly burst into a blazing light, and the old man laughed loudly in the bridge: "Hahaha...... Good! The old man works hard, and he must see the day when our navy will be prestigious! ”
