The two were eating and drinking, chatting about some things, and they were in a good mood.

Lu Ming suddenly asked: "Mr. Qiantian, do you think that if China really wants to transfer enough economic benefits to Japan, can Japan dispel its intention of aggression against China? That is to say, China and Japan can use the bond of economic cooperation to bring Achieving permanent peace?"

"Lu Sang, what do you mean by that? You don't represent the government to test our Japanese intentions, do you?" Qian Tian stopped his chopsticks and asked.

"No, I just heard this kind of argument from the top government. Some people hold this view. I am very confused. Is it really possible to achieve peace in this way? Is there such a possibility?"

In fact, Lu Ming did not have this kind of thought in his heart, that is, China and Japan are economically complementary, and using economic cooperation to achieve peace between the two countries is also the best way in his opinion.

But this method came out of Mr. Wang's mouth, and Lu Ming wondered if it was a kind of self-enchanted, a kind of poison.

Now that Japan has said that even the sovereignty of the Northeast can be discussed, there is also the possibility of peacefully taking back Taiwan in the future. Of course, China must give Japan some economic compensation.

Although this is a bit like the Chanyuan alliance between the Song Dynasty and Khitan, it is also the best way for China, and it is much better than smashing a country into ruins and rebuilding it.

"Lu Sang, do you know about a major event that happened in Japan recently?" Qiantian asked.

"I haven't heard of it, what happened?" Lu Ming looked dazed.

"In Japan, a nasty incident occurred in which a naval officer assassinated Prime Minister Inuyang. After this incident broke out, the Inuyang cabinet fell." Qian Tian said.

"What? When did this happen?" Lu Ming was surprised, this is not a trivial matter.

"Just two days ago, this month's NO.15." Qian Tian said.

Today is May NO.18, which means that this happened the day before yesterday, and it seems that there is no rest in Japan.

"These soldiers have the guts to assassinate the prime minister of their own country? This is to subvert the government." Lu Ming was surprised.

"Those young and strong officers are so bold that they dare not assassinate anyone except the Emperor. They don't even have any scruples at the top of the army." Qian Tian sighed.

It’s a very shameful thing to say, the military of any country has a bounden duty to obey the government and the chief, but those young Japanese officers go their own way, as if they are all monkey monkeys making troubles in the heavens, without them they dare not rebel of.

"Why did they assassinate the prime minister? What happened to that dog?" Lu Ming asked puzzled.

"Because the Inuyang Cabinet and your high-level government reached a secret treaty, they wanted to return the sovereignty of Manchuria to the Republic of China government, but Japan has the right to station troops in the Northeast, and the other is the deep economic cooperation between China and Japan. So you asked me whether it is possible to achieve peace between China and Japan through economic cooperation, and this is the answer, and the young Japanese military officers do not agree." Qian Tianzheng said.

Lu Ming lost his voice for a long time. It turned out that there was a trap in Qian Tian's words, and he couldn't react.

Qian Tian didn't care about Lu Ming's reaction, he just drank and ate food, which was quite delicious. It seemed that he liked the food of this restaurant very much.

Lu Ming couldn't get interested, he was still thinking about the shopping list that Mr. Dong gave him.It seems a little inappropriate to bring up this topic now.

"Isn't the Kwantung Army occupying our Northeast? Why did a naval officer make a disturbance and assassinate your Prime Minister?" Lu Ming still didn't understand.

"This is the special situation in our country. At any time and on any issue, the navy and the army are enemies. They are incompatible. Even the emperor has nothing to do with this issue, but it is China. No, especially in China. On the issue of China, the navy and the army wear a pair of trousers." Qian Tian said with a wry smile.

"What about your diplomatic circles? Look at this issue this way?" Lu Ming really wanted to clarify this issue thoroughly.

"The mainstream of our diplomatic circles still advocates peace and economic cooperation between China and Japan, that is, to support each other. Of course, there are many outliers in the diplomatic circles, such as the diplomatic madman Yosuke Matsuoka, who are even more extreme than the military. In short In a word, whether it is the government, the diplomatic circles or the military, there are peace factions, moderate factions and extremist factions.” Kentian explained.

"The extremists always have the upper hand, that means there is no possibility of peace between China and Japan?" Lu Ming sighed.

"That's not the case. It is not impossible to achieve peace between China and Japan through economic transfers as you just said, but the prerequisite is that the sovereignty of the Northeast cannot be returned to China, and must be controlled by Japan. "

"If the sovereignty is not returned, what is it called a transfer? Isn't this treating China like a fool?" Lu Ming said angrily.

"It is indeed like this. In the eyes of most Japanese, China is a soft persimmon in the hands of an old lady. You can squeeze it as you like. Of course, it is not the case in the eyes of some very wise people. China is not a fool, but As Napoleon said, it is a sleeping lion. It is a pity that these people are only a minority, although there are many high-level people, but they cannot control the army." Qian Tian said.

"Isn't your emperor omnipotent, why can't you even control your own army?" Lu Ming asked.

"To tell you the truth, His Majesty the Emperor really can't control the army. Although every Japanese soldier swears allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor, and they really do, but when it comes to practical issues, there are too many variables. Those arrogant young men Military officers believe that their own excesses are their allegiance to the emperor, and the upper-level politicians, chaebols, and military bureaucrats are all moths, and they are all targets to be eradicated."

Qiantian wiped his face with his hands helplessly, as if to erase some unpleasant memories.

"Why does it feel a bit like the scene of the separatist regime in the Tang Dynasty in China?" Lu Ming laughed.

"It's really similar. You also know that Japan has been ruled by the shogunate for a long time. The so-called shogunate rule is actually a separatist regime. The emperor is only the head of state in name. Chief, the feudal towns still act on their own, conquering each other, why the navy and the army are incompatible, isn't it because the navy and the army are composed of different feudal forces?" Qian Tian said.

"Japan is now like a wild horse that has lost control and is galloping towards the point of no return. I think if this continues, it will eventually fall to the bottom of the cliff." Lu Ming said bluntly.

"Let me tell you this, in our country, the financial circles, the political circles, the diplomatic circles, the military circles, the high-level and middle-level young officers in the military circles are all different factions. It can be said that the phenomenon of fragmentation is no worse than that of your China, but there is one thing Different, after all, everyone has a common object of allegiance, which is the emperor, and another common point is to deal with you China, only in dealing with China, Japan can be said to be consistent from top to bottom."

Qian Tian drank a glass of sake, he seemed to have felt numb, and there was nothing to be angry about.

Lu Ming shook his head, he really couldn't understand the chaos in Japan.

"There is a dangerous trend now, that is, the top military officials in Japan are increasingly surrendering to the young military officers, or these young military officers have become pawns of certain politicians, specially used to fight against the government, chaebols and diplomatic circles, If this continues, it will become more and more militarized, and Japan will become a full-fledged warlord country."

"Isn't Japan still a warlord country?" Lu Ming said.

"Not yet, but there are signs of this. At present, the emperor is still on the side of the government. If one day the emperor is trapped by warlords and the government is composed of soldiers, then Japan will become a complete warlord empire. , not fascism, but more terrifying than fascism." Qian Tian said with some worry.

"If it really evolved into the warlord empire you mentioned, what would happen?" Lu Ming asked.

"As a result, according to my analysis, there is no worst, only worse. Those soldiers will lead the Yamato nation into the abyss step by step, and it may be a catastrophe to destroy the country in the end." Qian Tian said sadly.

"Mr. Qiantian still has a vision, you are truly patriotic." Lu Ming said with emotion.

"But people don't need a patriot like me, and I'm a little numb now because they think I'm in their way." Qian Tian said with a gloomy expression.
