The Bravest

In Kenji Doihara's office, Lin Jie was excitedly talking about his ideas. When he was imagining the future, he suddenly mentioned that Japan's population and resources were insufficient, and that with its current military strength, it would take over China in a short period of time.

Doihara Kenji and Kagesa Makoto, who were originally calmly drinking tea as a pastime, suddenly changed their expressions. Kagesa Makoto was even more furious and slammed the table and stood up: "Lin Jie, you are so bold that you dare to slander the Imperial Army and openly fight against the Empire of Japan."

"Teacher, you said I can speak freely in front of you." Lin Jie didn't care about Ying Zuo Zhen, here Doihara Kenji is the most important, so he quickly asked Doihara Kenji for help. And he used the words he had said before to show his broad-mindedness to shut him up.

Since the Japanese launched the war of aggression against China, they have always been superior to the Chinese, so Lin Jie's words just caught the arrogant mentality of Kenji Doihara. Kenji Doihara certainly would not be looked down upon by Lin Jie, a Chinese who thought he was his student.

He suppressed his anger, pretended to be a calm and sage, and said calmly: "Kagesa-kun, calm down. We should give this young Chinese man a chance to see what he can say. We in the Empire of Japan can also accept different political views. In addition, we can see how much he has learned in our Tokyo Police Academy and whether he is worthy of being my student."

Kenji Doihara was very scholarly, and he persuaded the furious Kagesa Yoshitsugu in an elegant and gentle manner, showing his magnanimity, which was superior to Kagesa Yoshitsugu. He also did not forget to belittle the Chinese, mocking that everything Lin Jie learned was taught by the Japanese. It made sense, because the Japanese taught well. If Lin Jie could not give a reasonable explanation, then don't blame Kenji Doihara for not giving him a chance, it's just that you, Lin Jie, are a waste who can only talk big. As for how to deal with it, it depends on whether you, Lin Jie, are still valuable.

"Well, I'll give the commander a favor and give you one last chance to explain." Yingzuo Zhenzhu sang well with a white face, and his expression was still indignant. Compared with Doihara Kenji, his demeanor was indeed much worse.

"Thank you, General. Let me continue. What does Japan need most to become or surpass a first-class power like the British Empire?" Seeing that the two old devils did not respond, Lin Jie pretended to be superior. Lin Jie had no choice but to ask and answer his own questions.

Things have developed to this point, Lin Jie has no scruples, and he pours himself a glass of water to drink to moisten his throat. The two old Japanese soldiers' eyelids are twitching, and Yingzuo Zhenzhu wants to get angry again. Fortunately, Doihara Kenji does have a little bit of tolerance. He gestured to Yingzuo Zhenzhu to calm down and slowly said: "Go on!"

"Cough cough," Lin Jie first coughed and cleared his throat before starting the performance.

"Teacher, Japan does not lack technology or industry, just like the British Empire a hundred years ago. However, Britain's only opponent a hundred years ago was Spain. Japan now has too many opponents. Let's not talk about Germany, which is an ally. The comprehensive strength of Britain and the United States is not worse than that of Japan, or even stronger. Therefore, Japan needs a large territory and a larger population to support Japan's long-term strategy. It just so happens that China has all of these, which is why Japan is operating in China. However, there is another important condition that Japan may have overlooked, and that is time. From the July 7 Incident to today, the Imperial Army has actually been unable to launch a large-scale offensive, and the war has entered a stalemate phase. It is just maintaining the advantage of strategic initiative. This is undeniable!" Lin Jie paused here, seeing that the old devil had no intention of applauding him at all, and still did not cooperate with Lin Jie's performance, the one-man show could only continue.

"If the war lasts longer, Japan may fall into an endless quagmire of war, which will fall into the calculations of the British and American white people, consuming a large amount of Japan and China's war potential for a long time. This is not in the interests of Japan. It is not in the interests of China. So the students still believe that only the union of China and Japan is the best way for both sides. Then the question is, if China cannot be conquered in a short period of time, where will Japan go?"

Lin Jie kept keeping the secret, and this time Kenji Doihara finally showed some interest: "Lin Jie, what do you think? Is there any way to change Japan's current predicament?"

"Good question." Lin Jie couldn't help but give the old man a thumbs up in his heart, so that he would have the motivation to continue.

"Teacher, hasn't the Empire already found the answer? I am just speaking after the fact." Lin Jie flattered him first and then changed the subject.

"Since China can't do anything, let's change the goal. I have been thinking for a long time and have an immature idea. I want to express it here and ask the teacher to correct me."

"Well, you said."

"The target is Australia, a country with a land area not much smaller than China but a population of only six million. Students believe that it is definitely much easier to conquer than a country like China with a history of 5,000 years and a population of 400 million. The only trouble is that it is a little far away. So we should conquer the small countries in Southeast Asia first, integrate their resources, and use them as a springboard to occupy Australia and solve the development dilemma that Japan has not solved for hundreds of years." Lin Jie's tone was very loud, even crazy.

"Even if this can become Japan's strategy, then the question is, why should Japan help China develop? Is it just to create a powerful enemy for itself? I think you, Lin Jie, are a lobbyist sent by Chongqing!" Ying Zuo Zhenxuan asked Lin Jie with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Haha, General Yingzuo, when do you think China can threaten Japan? Fifty years? Or a hundred years, before it can have a navy and marines that can land in Japan and gain a foothold?" Lin Jie also asked Yingzuo Zhenzhu.

"Although China cannot threaten Japan within a hundred years, what benefits will Japan get from supporting China's development? If there are no benefits, you can't change the reality with just your mouth." The old devil Yingzo Makoto is not so easy to fool.

"Of course, this is my idea from the Chinese side, but we can use this as a negotiation condition to ask China to arm a large number of troops to make up for the lack of troops in Japan's foreign strategy."

"So, what do you think is the possibility of Chongqing's surrender?" This was what the old Japanese Kenji Doihara thought of Lin Jie.

"Teacher, this is just my conception of Sino-Japanese friendship. It's still a very rough idea and does not have the ability to be put into practice. The details must of course be planned by you and the headquarters, and then implemented by the lower levels. But the teacher mentioned earlier that there will be good news today, which means that the empire already has a complete plan and has begun to implement it. I am just a student showing off my skills in front of an expert. The teacher has already taken the trouble to let me say so much." Lin Jie bowed to Kenji Doihara and also bowed to Yokogawa Yoshitaka.

"Hahaha, not bad, you are worthy of being a top student trained by our Great Japanese Empire. Although the idea is crude and full of loopholes, and its feasibility is hard to describe, but considering your current age and vision, it is commendable that you dare to think about it and spend time thinking about it. It is worth the painstaking efforts of General Kagesawa and I. Work hard in the future for the friendship between Japan and China and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Journey!"

Kenji Doihara really has his way with words. He first pointed out that Lin Jie's current status was due to the training of the Japanese, and warned Lin Jie not to forget his roots. He then demoted Lin Jie's ideas to the point of being worthless to suppress Lin Jie's arrogance, and then encouraged him like coaxing a child, showing his magnanimity.

"Well, the commander is right. You, Lin Jie, must not let the commander down." Ying Zuo Zhenxu also pretended to be a kind elder, with seriousness in his concern, as if Lin Jie was his grandson.
