Yang Zhen took the Imperial University in Tokyo as the first bombing target, and tried his best to destroy the backbone of the Japanese reconstruction after the war, which was his truest idea of the air raid on Tokyo. And his ultimate goal was not just to change the name of Tokyo Imperial University to the University of Tokyo after the war. Among his series of air raids was the rest of the Imperial University of Japan series except Taipei Imperial University.

Tokyo is the center of education in Japan, and it is home to almost all of Japan's leading universities, except for Tokyo Imperial University. World-class universities such as Tokyo Institute of Technology, Keio University, University of Tsukuba, Hitotsubashi University, and Waseda University are all concentrated in Tokyo.

Taking advantage of the fact that Japan has not yet completely transitioned to a war situation, and that these universities are still in Tokyo without the opportunity to be evacuated, completely destroying these famous Japanese universities and completely destroying the talent base of Japan's post-war reconstruction is what he wants to do the most. Tokyo has been blown up, so can these universities still save zài?

Since the Japanese have weakened the inheritance of the Chinese culture, even the Commercial Press can be blown to the ground. Then he, Yang Zhen, in order to avoid leaving any hidden dangers for the future development of the Chinese nation, used bombers to send the Japanese back to before the Meiji Restoration, which was just a tooth for a tooth.

As for the excuse, Yang Zhen has already thought of it, and the two words of accidental bombing are easy to explain. Tokyo is so big, there is no detailed map of the Anti-Japanese Union, I know where your factory area and military area are? Why don't you provide the Japanese with a military map showing all your military deployments in Tokyo? That way I can avoid this accidental bombing.

And these two words were also in all the press conferences of the Anti-Japanese Federation after the outbreak of the entire Pacific War. No matter how any reporter asks about the fact that Japanese universities and scientific research institutions were bombed during the war, even several times more than Japanese military factories, how can they get the most answers?

It's just that these things and ideas, he absolutely can't say. There are many reasons for the bombing of Tokyo, so why put all of them on the table? There are some things that are too much to say, but it is difficult to explain. Today's meeting is aimed at unifying thinking and understanding on the issue of bombing Japan, not to make trouble for himself.

There are reasons that can be put on the table, and there is no need to explain the others too clearly. And the so-called reasons he said obviously played a certain role. Although there are still people who still don't understand it too much, the previous objections are no longer raised.

After Yang Zhen explained the reason why he finally decided to bomb Tokyo, he heard that he actually targeted the bombing on civilians, and the two old commanders who advanced there frowned deeply. It is obvious that they do not have much opinion on Yang Zhen's bombing of military targets on the Japanese mainland. However, he was very dissatisfied with this kind of approach, which was the same as the Japanese bombing of China's rear, and placed the target in civilian areas.

Especially after hearing Yang Zhen's sentence about burning Tokyo, the two old commanders disagreed even more. Most houses in Japan are made of wood, and if you drop a few napalms, it will cause a fire. Tokyo is also located by the sea, and the winter monsoon can fuel the fire. You're not burning Tokyo, you're going to completely destroy Tokyo.

It is true that there are fascist institutions such as the Japanese military headquarters in the city, but most of them are ordinary people. How many innocent people will be killed or injured if you go down this fire? The initiators of Japan's invasion of China were those fascists and imperialists, not those innocent people.

Putting the target of the bombing on civilians, aren't you putting the cart before the horse? The indiscriminate killing of innocents and the targeting of peaceful inhabitants is something that only the murderous imperialists can do. What is the difference between you and those imperialists who lead beasts and cannibalism?

Among the two old commanders who saw Yang Zhen's inner thoughts very thoroughly, if the commander could still endure it, he didn't say anything. So the political commissar who once rescued and raised two Japanese war orphans in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments was really a little unbearable.

Looking at Yang Zhen, who was still standing in front of the map, looking at everyone present with a stern face, the political commissar spoke: "Comrade Yang Zhen, you want to launch an air raid on the Japanese mainland, we know that you have your strategic intentions. I and the commander are not good at objecting to this. After all, it is also the wish of the whole party and the whole army to draw the flames of war to the enemy's territory. ”

"But shouldn't you reconsider your chosen target? The original intention of our air strikes against Japan, as you said, was to fundamentally weaken Japan's war potential. Then we should target the bombing on Japan's military industrial complex, as well as on the military bases on the mainland. Rather than targeting cities where large numbers of ordinary innocent people are gathered. ”

"Comrade Yang Zhen, you should know that Tokyo is the largest city in Japan, and millions of people are gathered in it. If you go down these napalms, more people will be killed or injured by civilians who have no bomb shelters and no guards. And not those fascists and big capitalists who live in good proper, protected by strong bunkers. ”

"It was those fascists and militarists who invaded our China and slaughtered our civilians, what do they have to do with those ordinary people? They are all innocent. We hope you'll think carefully about your goals. Targeting innocent civilians is something that fascists and militarists would do. And we, we should never do that. ”

"On the battlefield, we must treat prisoners with preferential treatment to enemy soldiers who lay down their arms, not to mention hundreds or even tens of thousands of innocent civilians. Napalm was invented by yourselves. The lethality of this kind of bomb should be clear in your heart. Steel can be melted into molten iron, let alone houses that have no protection? ”

"If you go with napalm, it will be a slaughter in disguise. If you do that, what difference will we have from the fascists who kill innocents indiscriminately? Comrade Yang Zhen, I hope you can think carefully and carefully. Don't let yourself be pointed at by thousands of people like those militarists. ”

"If you want to attack the Japanese mainland by air and weaken Japan's war potential and ability to wage war, it is still the same sentence, as long as you have this ability, we will not support it. But we still want you to focus your bombing on Japan's military industry. Comrade Yang Zhen, the indiscriminate killing of innocents is to be recorded in the history books. We can't turn ourselves into a beast army like the Japanese army, relying on slaughter to win. ”

The political commissar's words were very serious, and even the commander felt that it was too much. The commander believes that no matter what Yang Zhen's starting point is, in the final analysis, the purpose is still for the consideration of the war situation. Is it okay to keep a different opinion, why say it so bluntly.

Although your brother has a strong party spirit and a strong sense of principle, do you have to divide your speech into different occasions? Although he is young and has little qualifications, he is also a regional military commander after all. He has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals, and he controls one of the strongest soldiers in the major strategic areas of the whole army. If you criticize him in front of so many of his subordinates, should you also change the occasion?

However, compared to the commander who was a little dissatisfied, Yang Zhen shook his head at the political commissar's words. After a moment of silence, he explained his original intention. However, he did not explain directly, but said: "Old chief, when I was studying in Beiping, I once heard about a matter about the Japanese people's thinking about China. Although I don't know if this is true, I think that if this is true, it may not be true. ”

"This is about a teacher who is supposed to teach and educate people, and he takes a few apples a day for his students to eat. He asked his students, "Are these apples delicious?" When the students replied that they were delicious, the teacher told his students that these sweet and delicious apples were all produced in China. ”

"The Chinese nation is rich, and the Chinese nation is inferior. When you grow up and fight valiantly for the Empire, kill all the despicable Chinans, and completely occupy the whole of China, you and your descendants will be able to eat more delicious apples. will be truly rich, and will not live in poverty like you. ”

"Although I don't really believe it, or don't want to believe the truth of this rumor. But from some of the things we've been through, I can't help but believe that this rumor is just groundless. Years of indoctrination and education have caused the whole of Japan, including women, children, the elderly, and the weak, to form a deep-rooted concept of invading China. We know this very well. ”

"In the course of our previous operations, we have captured a large number of *** who are engaged in special services for the Japanese army. Among these ***, except for the North Koreans and Chinese, they are forced. The vast majority of all Japanese women are active and voluntary. Except for a few Japanese women, a large part of these Japanese women are normal housewives. ”

"It's not a shame for them to do this. Even among many people, it is considered to be a glorious thing to serve their so-called holy war and to make contributions to the emperor. And this includes not only those illiterate rural peasant women, but also a large number of people with secondary education or above. ”

"And the hundreds of thousands of old and weak so-called Manchurian pioneers we captured, not one of them thinks that the war launched by the Japanese is an unjust war. They cheered for their so-called imperial army, every victory. Some of them treated the Chinese even more fiercely than the bestial educated Japanese soldiers. ”

"There are also Japanese scientific and technological personnel we encountered at the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare base, but they are all high-achieving students majoring in medicine from Japan's famous universities. Even many people have the experience of studying in the West. As highly intelligent people, these people are well aware of what they are doing. And not only did none of these people come by force, but most of them were even proud of it. ”

"Old chief, these people are ordinary Japanese people. Many of them did not change their poor lives because of the war of aggression launched by Japan. However, they still fanatically believe that the war of aggression launched by Japan against China is a just war. And those sober people who oppose this unjust war have become national thieves in their eyes. ”

"As a poor island country with frequent earthquakes, numerous volcanoes, narrow terrain, and almost no resources. The development of the Japanese is of course due to the unity of their own people, but it is more based on the constant desperate sucking of Chinese flesh and blood. The barren Japanese archipelago could not provide too many resources for the construction of modern industry. ”

"The education and industry of the Japanese have come to this day, and it is precisely because of the Qing government's repeated land cession and reparations that Japan has laid the foundation for Japan's development to become a modern industrialized country today, and has provided them with sufficient funds for the development of modern industry and education. Without the huge sums of money from the First Sino-Japanese War and the Gengzi Incident, the Japanese would not have been able to build modern industry. ”
