Volume 8 Hundred Years of Resentment Chapter 25 Proportion and Weight
The country's "turning over the battle" really made Sadashi Murakami extremely angry.
When the Geneva negotiations ended, Sasashi Murakami had a premonition that something big was going to happen. Before he could react, the United States "betrayed" Japan in the "four-party negotiations". Then the United States played the "Taiwan card". With Sasashi Murakami's mind, it was impossible for it to be unclear about the United States' intention.
In Murakami Satomasa's view, the United States has set up Japan.
Among the three major events, the United States is the protagonist, and China is just taking the opportunity to put pressure on Japan.
Because the Geneva negotiations are ahead and the "quad-party negotiations" are behind, Sasashi Murakami has enough reason to believe that the United States will strive to improve relations with the Republic and prevent Japan from making trouble in Taiwan. Sasashi Murakami even has reason to believe that the United States is encouraging China to launch a war against Japan through this series of actions.
If so, Japan pays not only the angry China, but also the cunning America.
Before Tamu Shinohara returned to Tokyo, Sadashi Mura asked Toshiki Kiryu to turn down all meetings and work activities in the afternoon and stayed alone in the office for several hours.
The situation is very repetitive and the results are unpredictable.
During the "party negotiations", the United States suddenly stated that except for the five permanent members of the Security Council, other nuclear countries should completely destroy nuclear weapons. Although O'Neal hinted in the negotiations that as long as Japan destroys all nuclear weapons and gives up the right to develop nuclear weapons, the United States will not only provide Japan with a nuclear protection umbrella, but also make China promise not to use nuclear weapons against Japan; but Japan cannot accept such negotiation results, because any promises between the United States and China cannot fundamentally ensure Japan's security. Even if China does not use nuclear weapons against Japan, due to the huge gap in conventional military forces between the two sides, Japan will not become safer after giving up nuclear weapons, but will only become more vulnerable.
The Midea approach is equivalent to admitting that Japan is only worthy of having the identity of a second-rate country or even a third-rate country.
This result is not only unacceptable in Japan, but also in Sadashi Murakami.
Even if Japan becomes a "nuclear country" under the leadership of Sasashi Murakami. As long as Sasashi Murakami makes any promises related to the destruction of nuclear weapons in the "four-party negotiations", Tamu Shinohara represents that when he signs the negotiation agreement, it is when Japan's military coup breaks out.
The question before Murakami Sadashi was: Behind him is a deep abyss. Compromise can only ruin him.
You can't compromise. You can only continue to move forward.
Keep going. It will inevitably go to war with China!
With the help of the United States, China has made it clear that the "Quad-party talks" cannot be delayed. Japan's nuclear issue must be resolved as soon as possible. Although China did not say in any diplomatic statement that it would use war to resolve problems according to traditional Eastern culture. No leader would talk about "war" and it cannot use negotiation to resolve issues related to the fundamental interests of the country. The only place left is war.
After calming down, Murakami Sadashi realized that there were not many choices left for him.
Although the United States has sent out a signal to warn Japan not to tamper with Taiwan issue, Sadashi Murakami really has no other choice. If he does not use Taiwan to restrain China, will he go to war with China?
India has always been in trouble and has not expressed its intention to fight side by side with Japan.
Even if Japan has nuclear weapons, can Japan use nuclear weapons first in war?
Sadashi Murakami does not want to be Japan's last prime minister, nor does he want to destroy the Yamato nation with his own hands. As long as Japan uses nuclear weapons first in the war, even if the nuclear warheads do not fall to China's mainland and fall into China's exclusive economic waters, China has a full reason to use hundreds of nuclear warheads to make Japan and the Yamato nation history.
In a large-scale conventional war, no one in Japan is necessarily the opponent of China.
Although Sadashi Murakami has never visited China or visited China, he is very clear about China's national sentiment. China can defend North Korea with the lives and blood of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Peninsula War, it will defeat Japan with hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers' lives and blood.
To use the remarks made by Chinese youth on the Internet: I am willing to donate my life to fight against Japan!
If a full-scale war breaks out with China, even if the United States devotes its whole country to support Japan, Japan will lose the war and will lose all of it!
When he decided to develop nuclear weapons, Sadashi Katsumasa realized that Japan must not go to war with China before it has the ability to completely destroy China. Although China did not take advantage of the opportunity of the East China Sea War to launch a full-scale war against Japan, no one can deny that China in 16 years did not have the strength to completely defeat Japan. More importantly, China was involved in the East China Sea War by extreme accident and won the final victory, achieving all war goals. In 2027, China not only has the ability to completely defeat Japan, but also has the determination to completely eliminate Japan.
Only the real madman will fight a full-scale war with China at this time.
The only way to avoid war is to divert China's attention and have to pay attention to more urgent issues.
At the meeting of the cabinet and all military officials, Sadashi Murakami made the decision to use Taiwan to restrain China, with the purpose of making China give up taking the initiative to go to Japan
The idea is to concentrate on solving the Taiwan issue. Although according to the military estimate that the mainland will complete the unification by military means, it will take China 2 to 3 years to fundamentally resolve the Taiwan issue, Murakami Sasaki is not so optimistic. He has only one purpose: to make China make concessions in the "four-party negotiations".
As long as China makes concessions in the "four-party negotiations", Japan will gain extremely valuable time.
If the negotiations delay for a few years, India will be able to get rid of its dependence on China and pose a threat to China. Without being able to deal with India, China is likely to concentrate its efforts to resolve the southern Tibet issue. In order to avoid fighting on both sides, China will definitely improve relations with Japan when dealing with India. Using India, Japan will get more time. As long as Japan improves its national strategic strike force during this period and obtains enough strategic retaliation capabilities to destroy China, even if it can only break 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.
Sadashi Murakami did not evaluate China's leaders because since Japan possessed nuclear weapons, all China's foreign policies and foreign actions have been targeted at Japan, and even the Peninsula War is no exception.
Involving in the Peninsula War, China is not helping North Korea complete unification, otherwise it would not allow North Korea to fight a civil war for several months.
China's fundamental purpose is to obtain a frontier base for attacking Japan's mainland! Whether it is Busan at the southern end of the peninsula or Jeju Island, it is a springboard for China to attack Japan's mainland. In the words of military generals, China does not need to dispatch bombers at all. It can destroy Kyushu Island, all major cities in the western region of Honshu Island and the northwest region of Shikoku Island.
The policy of tightening pressure leaves Japan nowhere to escape.
Starting from 20211, China has spent 6 years preparing to start a war with Japan.
Will China give up preparing a six-deficient war plan because of face issues or war management issues?
Others can ignore this issue, but Murakami Sadashi must consider this issue.
If it is a positive answer, Murakami Sasatsu must avoid providing China with reasons for going to war; if it is a negative answer, Murakami Sasatsu must bring Japan into a state of war as soon as possible.
When making a decision to interfere in Taiwan affairs, Murakami Sasaki believed that China needed a reason to start a war, so he asked the intelligence department to act as low as possible and not to get into trouble. More importantly, Murakami Sasaki asked the intelligence department to report the situation before taking any substantial actions and must be approved.
What happened from July 11 to 12 changed Murakami Sasaki's view.
The United States' "indulgent attitude" will definitely encourage China to seek military means to resolve Japan's nuclear issue and reduce the threshold for starting a war. In this way, China is likely not to deliberately create reasons for the war, and will not wait until the situation develops to an uncontrollable point before taking military action.
Should Japan be prepared for the war?
Murakami Sadashi thought about this issue for a long time.
Although Japan has been preparing for war, it has not taken substantial measures on key issues that are sufficient to trigger war. If Japan suddenly prepares for war with great fanfare and allows the country to enter a state of preparation, it will inevitably send a signal to China that the war is about to break out and that the problem can only be solved with war, thereby triggering war. If the war breaks out without Japan being prepared, the result will be even more difficult to imagine.
This is a very difficult decision for any leader.
This is like doing surgery, you must grasp the degree and importance.
When Kiryu Toshiji came to inform Shinohara Tamuro, Murakami Satomasa made a decision.
Regardless of whether China decides to launch a war against Japan, it will make some statements in the "four-party negotiations" and will not immediately turn against Japan at the negotiating table.
It’s not too late to see China’s reaction first and then make a decision!
Seeing Tamatsu Shinohara, Sadashi Murakami first asked about the detailed process of the negotiations, and then asked Tamatsu Shinohara to prepare to return to Jeju to participate in the sixth round of negotiations.
Saying off the negotiator, Sadashi Murakami asked Toshiji Kitano to contact Foreign Minister Shikawa Kitanyama, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent diplomatic notes to three other countries in the "Quadian Negotiation", saying that Japan is willing to participate in the sixth round of negotiations, but should not express Japan's attitude towards the negotiations in the note. When talking to Shikawa Kitanyama, Sadashi Murakami clearly felt that this "extreme nationalist" was very dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's performance in the "Quadian Negotiation" and believed that the Prime Minister was too weak.
As if he had let go of a stone in his heart, Sadashi Murakami suddenly felt much more relaxed.
During dinner, Sadashi Murakami asked Toshiji Kiryu to contact Ryohei Tani and asked the Director of the National Security Administration to come to report on the work situation at night.
After that turmoil in the military headquarters, Sadashi Murakami didn't like to deal with work affairs at night.
Only in extremely special circumstances can Murakami Sasaki come to report work in the evening! (To be continued,)
