I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

The shipbuilding industry of the United States is extremely powerful. During the Pacific War in history, Japan built 17 aircraft carriers (more than half of which were modified or refitted aircraft carriers, not regular aircraft carriers), while the United States built 27 regular aircraft carriers (including 24 medium-sized The Essex class and 3 heavy Midway class, there were 8 Essex class and 3 Midway class under construction at the end of the war), Japan built 2 battleships, and the United States built 10 battleships, Japan built 9 cruisers, the United States built 48 cruisers, Japan built 63 destroyers, the United States built 355 ships, Japan built 147 submarines, and the United States built 203 ships. The United States has also built 498 frigates, more than 100 escort aircraft carriers, and more than 740 anti-submarine ships. The gap between the two sides is very wide.

【British Navy】

The British Navy is slightly inferior to the U.S. Navy in terms of scale, but its shipbuilding capability is much lower than that of the U.S. Navy. The specific compilation data are omitted.

Chapter 618 The Wind Blows (1)

After sending Yamamoto 56 away, Jiang Weiguo stayed alone in the office. At this time, night fell and the lights came on, the curtains in the office were drawn by him, and the lights were turned off by him.

The lights of the city and the hustle and bustle of traffic were blocked outside. In the quiet darkness, Jiang Weiguo sat motionless on a chair like an old monk in meditation, closed his eyes and fell into meditation.

He needs to think.

Jiang Weiguo knew that this war was about to usher in a real climax, and it was a climax like a huge wave, because the United States was about to join the war.

If this is a story, then this story is about to turn a new page.

The United States' participation in the war is undoubtedly a major change, and it is an earth-shaking change. It can even be said that the United States' participation in the war is the turning point of this war, but what kind of turning point will this "turning point" bring to the world?What kind of focus will it bring to China?Jiang Weiguo remembered that in the original history, after learning that the United States entered the war, the British Prime Minister Churchill, who had been living physically and mentally exhausted since the outbreak of the war, was relieved at once. He directly said to the British senior officials, "We finally won this war", and then That night, I had my first peaceful sleep since the outbreak of the war. At the same time, Chongqing was also decorated with lanterns and festoons, gongs and drums blaring, and the whole city was jubilant, forming a very absurd and stark contrast: after Pearl Harbor in the United States was attacked by the Japanese army, , the United States is miserable up and down, and Japan is celebrating and ecstatic, but the allies of the United States, Britain, China and the Soviet Union are just like Japan, celebrating happily and wantonly.

Britain, the Soviet Union, and China certainly did not take pleasure in America's misfortune, but why were they as happy as America's enemy, their own enemy Japan?Because the top leaders of Britain, the Soviet Union, and China firmly believe that as long as the United States officially enters the war as an ally, the war will undoubtedly be won.

Why are Churchill, Stalin, and Chiang Kai-shek so "superstitious" about the United States?Because the United States is super strong, and the United States joined the three-nation camp of Britain, the Soviet Union and China, it would be difficult for the four-nation alliance of the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, and China to lose.

Jiang Weiguo is very clear about this.

For the United States, Jiang Weiguo's attitude is: three points of disgust, seven points of attention, he does not hate the United States, nor does he like the United States (the biggest reason why Jiang Weiguo does not like the United States is that even if the United States formed an alliance with China in World War II, it did not give China real benefits. In addition, before the war, the United States also used the Sino-Japanese War to make a fortune from the war. In addition, don’t forget that the United States also has the "Chinese Exclusion Act", which blatantly included the exclusion of Chinese in American laws.

Since Americans don't like Chinese people, why do Chinese people like Americans? ), his invariable attitude towards the United States is of the highest importance.

Right now, the United States is about to join the war. For China, the most terrifying thing about this matter is that the United States did not join the war as an ally of China.

Although Jiang Weiguo tried his best to "keep China from becoming a direct enemy of the United States", China and the United States are indeed not allies in the ensuing war. It is dangerous to be neither an enemy nor a friend.

Jiang Weiguo tried to guide the relationship between China and the United States in this war like the Soviet Union and Japan during World War II in the original history.

During World War II in the original history, the Soviet Union belonged to the camp of the Allies, and Japan belonged to the camp of the Axis powers. In the dirty matter of dividing up Northeast China and Outer Mongolia, it is still a "friendship of sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils".

It would be great if China and the United States could do what the Soviet Union and Japan did.

The United States is about to enter the war, which is a big event, but Jiang Weiguo's heart is not too turbulent, because he has already made sufficient psychological preparations.

It is now March 1942, and Jiang Weiguo did the math. He officially started his struggle in July 3. Time flies, almost six years.

After such a long time, Jiang Weiguo is obviously "old" from the outside. After all, he was in his prime back then, only less than 20 years old, and now he is almost 26. Of course, this "oldness" is not aging, but He is mature, so everyone around him can see that Jiang Weiguo's temperament has changed significantly compared to before. If we say that Jiang Weiguo at the beginning was a sharp blade, then the current Jiang Weiguo is just as handsome as ever. It is a large octagonal copper hammer that is stable and unobtrusive, but it can smash the opponent's head to pieces if you really want to use it.

Jiang Weiguo himself is also very touched by this, because now when he thinks back on what he has done in the past five or six years, he feels that many things he did at the beginning were not thoughtful or even childish and absurd.

In fact, not only his temperament, but more importantly, Jiang Weiguo's mentality has also undergone a major change. At the beginning, he was full of awe of history. The goal he set for himself was to "change history", and even if it was just to change history, He also acted like walking on thin ice, with great sincerity, but now, he has subtly transformed into "making history".

Jiang Weiguo understands that although he has been only "changing history", after accumulating small amounts, quantitative changes will inevitably lead to qualitative changes. The so-called "changing history", as time goes by, the "butterfly effect" becomes more and more obvious, and it will naturally transform into "Creating history", this point will not change with his personal will. Since this is the case, he has gradually figured it out and looked away. Anyway, he has no way to turn back.

Jiang Weiguo told himself: The United States has joined the war, and the only thing he can do is to face it seriously.

After lighting a cigarette, Jiang Weiguo began to think more deeply.

The United States is about to join the war. If there is no change, the reason why the United States participated in the war is the same as in the original history: Japan took the initiative and attacked the United States in a sneak attack, thus providing the United States with the most perfect reason to join the war, and pushing the United States to the point where it had to In a combat situation.

The eight major powers in the world, the Soviet Union has existed in name only, France has bowed its knees and surrendered, and Italy is only a vassal of Germany. Then, there are only five protagonists on the war stage: Germany, Japan, China, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The five countries form two distinct camps. A group of Japanese and Chinese, a group of the United States and Britain.

Serious analysis, what is the relationship between Germany, Japan, China and the United Kingdom at this time?Germany and Britain are undoubtedly enemies because they have already declared war on each other; Japan and Britain are undoubtedly enemies because they have also declared war on each other; There is also the British embassy, ​​and there is also a Chinese embassy in London at this time, and the two sides still maintain diplomatic relations), but they are actually in a state of war, similar to the fact that China and Japan clearly fought on the battlefield in the early days of the Sino-Japanese War in history However, the peculiar situation of not officially declaring war, the UK did not declare war on China, because "one more thing is better than one less thing" and "one more enemy is better than one less enemy". China did not declare war on Britain because it did not want to "offend" the United States behind Britain.

Now that the United States is about to enter the war, what is the situation of Germany, Japan and China?

Germany: Although it does not want to or cannot go to war with the United States, it must go to war with the United States, because Germany has beaten the United Kingdom to the brink of death, and it is almost at the door, but the United States has continued to transfuse blood to the United Kingdom openly, seriously hindering Germany from gaining Europe The process of total victory in the war.

The German navy does not have a strong surface fleet, so it can only use submarine swarms and unlimited submarine warfare to blockade and trap Britain to death. It drove to the UK, came with a full load, returned empty, and then came with a full load to continuously transport to the UK the most urgently needed food, medicine, fuel, living supplies, machinery and equipment, weapons and equipment at this time. Britain, which was almost exhausted with unrestricted submarine warfare, got a lot of resources, and then continued to resist Germany.

From Hitler's point of view, how can Hitler and other high-level Germans not hate the United States?Therefore, there are very sharp and almost irreconcilable conflicts of interest between Germany and the United States, and a war between the two countries is almost inevitable.

China: I don't want to go to war with the United States at all, and there is no great conflict of interest between China and the United States.

However, China needs Japan to go to war with the United States, because Japan has become stronger and stronger at this time because of the "free ride" of Germany and China. If this continues, without the United States participating in the war, Germany, China and Japan will carve up Asia and Africa Europe, Australia, China will be very strong in the end, and Japan will also be very strong. At that time, whether it is a one-on-one match between China and Japan or a partnership between China and Germany, defeating Japan will definitely make China pay a huge price. Therefore, why Why not let the rich and powerful United States consume Japan?The best ending is like this: the United States counterattacked Japan and beat Japan to its desperation, but the United States suffered a lot of casualties and couldn't stand it anymore. At this time, China will take over the baton of "fighting Japan" from the United States. Not good?At that time, Japan will be beaten to death by the United States, and it will definitely be much easier for China to start again. Moreover, the United States will definitely be frightened by Japan at that time. China will actively ask to cooperate with the United States or unite with the United States to fight Japan.

However, if China and Japan are now hostile countries, Japan will definitely not dare to provoke the United States. Japanese high-level officials must think that Japan cannot withstand the joint attack of China and the United States. Therefore, China must now be Japan's ally and Japan's "strong backing." ", and then instigated Japan to provoke the United States and make it burn itself.

Japan: The reason why Japan provoked the United States in history was that Japan’s war of aggression against China exhausted Japan’s resources. The United States joined forces with the United Kingdom and the Netherlands to sanction Japan and interrupt the export of various industrial raw materials to Japan, especially the most important ones. For oil, Japan can either honestly do what the United States says and give up its invasion of China, or jump over the wall in a hurry and make a desperate gamble to snatch the territory of the United States, Britain, Holland and France. Japan will take what the United States, Britain, Holland and France do not give, naturally. , the Japanese chose the second.

Right now, Japan is actually not short of resources, because China provides them, such as iron ore, coal, petroleum, tungsten sand, bristles, tung oil... China has given everything that should be given, which is enough for Japan's "peacetime expenses".

It stands to reason that Japan does not have much reason to provoke the United States, but in fact, Japan has reasons.

Japan has three reasons for provoking the Japan-U.S. war: First, seventy-eight out of ten of the resources that Japan needs now come from China. This kind of lifeline is in the hands of other countries. Naturally, it is very uncomfortable, not to mention, Although China and Japan are "very close" at the moment, they are only using each other and there is no friendship at all. If China is not happy, it can cut off Japan's resource supply at any time, especially oil. At that time, Japan's situation can be imagined You know, therefore, Japan must obtain the resource area that completely belongs to Japan. Therefore, Japan must continue to fight and seize more territory. Moreover, according to the internal treaties of the alliance countries, the whole of Australia belongs to Japan. Japan has long regarded Australia as a There is no reason not to occupy and seize the Australian continent, which is also in line with the "continental policy" that the Japanese have longed for for thousands of years. After all, the North Asian continent is too desolate, and the more livable Australian continent is naturally more attractive. Secondly, Japan's expansion has aroused the United States' vigilance and targeted measures, especially the Philippine Islands. This archipelago happens to be stuck at the throat of Japan's mainland and its "new southern territory", which makes Japanese high-level officials deeply feel that they are stuck in their throats. It must be pulled out. Since the Philippines, which belongs to the US territory, is to be pulled out, it is inevitable to go to war with the United States, and it is necessary to pre-emptively strike first and strike first; third, Japan’s two major allies, Germany and China, are agitating, Encouraging and urging Japan to attack the United States. Of course, Germany and China are "involved in their own plans." Germany hopes to use Japan to severely injure the United States, thereby completing Germany's great cause of defeating the United Kingdom and dominating Europe. China hopes to use the United States to severely injure Japan.

The interests of major powers are intricate and complicated. To join forces vertically and horizontally among them is no less than walking a tightrope. A single movement will affect the whole body. You must be careful and cautious, cautious and cautious.

Nietzsche said that when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Jiang Weiguo's understanding of this sentence is: When you are calculating others, others are also calculating you.

Jiang Weiguo believed that when he was scheming the Japanese, the Japanese must also be scheming himself. When China was scheming the United States, Roosevelt must also be scheming China.

The Japanese are about to attack Pearl Harbor. Are the Americans setting up a trap and waiting?

Jiang Weiguo has seen a lot of military materials about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II in later generations. There is a saying among them is "conspiracy theory". Pretending to be ignorant and pretending to be confused, they even secretly reduced Pearl Harbor's defense force and "cooperated" with the successful Japanese attack, which completely changed the anti-war voices and isolationism in the United States at that time, and stimulated the United States to participate in World War II with one heart and one enemy.

The statement about this "conspiracy theory" can be said to be plausible, with a nose and eyes, and a lot of so-called evidence is listed, which really makes people have to doubt this super "bitter plan" of the US government.

But at this time, Jiang Weiguo could judge that the Japanese army's attack on Pearl Harbor was definitely not the result of the "deliberate release of water" by the United States. There was no so-called "bitter tricks" and those "conspiracy theories" were actually untenable.

Why do you say that?Because after many discussions with Yamamoto 56, Jiang Weiguo understood one thing: attacking Pearl Harbor or storming Hawaii is by no means as easy as it seems, it is very difficult, full of various uncertainties and risks, and very difficult , There are many difficulties to overcome, and the success rate is difficult to grasp. It is indeed a feat for the Japanese to be able to accomplish this.

Those who claim that the Pearl Harbor incident was "Roosevelt's conspiracy" are talking lightly. After reading the information on this incident, they think that the Japanese fleet only needs to sail to the vicinity of Pearl Harbor easily. Deliberately order Pearl Harbor to be undefended, and the Japanese will win a big victory. In fact, this is a very wrong misunderstanding, because it takes a lot of effort and risk to complete this kind of thing, and there is absolutely no paper As simple as described above.

The successful attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese army was by no means a bitter plan by President Roosevelt, because there are too many reasons. At the same time, the analysis of this matter must not make preconceived mistakes:

First, in order to successfully attack Pearl Harbor, the Japanese prepared meticulously for nearly a year, collected countless intelligence materials, and overcame many difficulties. For example, the Japanese fleet sailed [-] kilometers secretly in the North Pacific without It was very difficult to be discovered by the U.S. military, and historical data have also proved that the Americans did not find it until the Japanese fleet approached the city of Hawaii; also, the water depth of Pearl Harbor is only a dozen meters, and the torpedoes will hit after being thrown from the plane. Into the mud of the seabed, the Japanese ingeniously designed torpedo wooden fins to solve this difficulty.

Think about it the other way around, if President Roosevelt waited for the top American officials to wait for the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor, how sure is President Roosevelt that the Japanese can overcome these many difficulties?How sure is President Roosevelt that he can control the behavior of the Japanese within his own control?One can imagine the uncertainty.

The biggest reason why the Japanese army was able to successfully attack Pearl Harbor is that the Americans really never expected it.

Second, when the Pearl Harbor incident happened, both the Japanese and the Americans regarded battleships as the main force in naval warfare, and both believed that aircraft carriers were only an auxiliary force for battleships. President Roosevelt was a politician, not a military strategist, and he did not have much research on naval warfare. How could he be so sure that the Japanese used the carrier group to attack Pearl Harbor?Also, what would President Roosevelt do if the Japanese came to capture Pearl Harbor?Isn't his bitter trick the same as luring wolves into the house?You know, once the Japanese capture Hawaii, the west coast of the United States will be attacked by the Japanese army. Will President Roosevelt take such a huge risk?When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, only three U.S. aircraft carriers escaped by accident. How could President Roosevelt predict that aircraft carriers would replace battleships?If it was really a bitter plan, it would be reasonable for President Roosevelt to transfer several of the most advanced battleships in advance. How sure is he that the U.S. military can turn defeat into victory in the following Pacific War by relying on these three aircraft carriers?Will he bet on the victory of the US military and the national fortune of the United States?It's too risky to act like this.

Third, the Pearl Harbor incident brought heavy losses to the United States. In the following half a year, the Japanese army was invincible and invincible in Southeast Asia, obtained various resources that Japan urgently needed, and completely solved Japan’s biggest problem. It was only after the Battle of Midway Island that things were turned around, and a careful study of the Battle of Midway Island will reveal that the reason why the US military was able to win this crucial victory was seven points of courage and three points of luck.

How can President Roosevelt be absolutely sure that the U.S. military can turn things around in the Battle of Midway?If the US military loses the Battle of Midway again, the Japanese army will be even more unstoppable. what to do?How sure is President Roosevelt that the United States can turn defeat into victory in the face of the fastest outcome?Deliberately allowing the Japanese army to successfully attack Pearl Harbor, wouldn't it be playing with fire and setting yourself on fire?President Roosevelt would never have dared to do that.

Fourth, think about it again, if President Roosevelt planned to play tricks, why did he let Pearl Harbor be bombed so badly?As long as the Japanese army does not declare war and throws bombs at Pearl Harbor, even if no one is killed, President Roosevelt can confidently declare that the United States is at war with Japan. Japan, the Philippines and other American sites launched attacks, so Pearl Harbor did not need to be beaten so badly. Even if the Japanese army failed to attack Pearl Harbor, the United States could smoothly declare war on Japan.

If President Roosevelt really knew in advance that the Japanese army was about to attack Pearl Harbor, he would definitely order Pearl Harbor to stand ready at the last minute.

What is the purpose of President Roosevelt's tricks?Just to have a legitimate reason to declare war on Japan (in history, the United States did not declare war on Germany when it declared war on Japan, but Germany declared war on the United States in advance). A hundred people to achieve it?This is also not logical.

Fifth, from the perspective of President Roosevelt himself, if he wants to play such a luxurious trick, he must not be able to coordinate the overall situation alone, so he must have many "conspirators". What if something happens?If the U.S. military lost the Battle of Midway and the U.S. mainland was attacked by the Japanese army, and President Roosevelt’s deliberate bombing of Pearl Harbor was exposed again, would the U.S. still join the war with one heart?Isn't it about to fall into a huge internal chaos?President Roosevelt will inevitably lose his reputation. How can he ensure that those "accomplices" keep their mouths shut?How to ensure that everything that happens next can be under his control?With so many high-level generals in the United States, will everyone really help President Roosevelt lie?As long as one person speaks the truth, it will all be over.

Sixth, in fact, before the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor, the top US leaders had already begun to abandon their neutrality policy, and had begun to participate in the war more forcefully, such as aiding Britain on a large scale. Therefore, the top US leaders before the Pearl Harbor incident were not really insensitive , but has realized the threat of Japan, the Netherlands, and there is no need to come up with such a set to "wake up the American people."

After all, President Roosevelt is a man after all, not a god. He is not a "historical cheater" like Jiang Weiguo. It is impossible for him to surpass the times and grasp so many uncertain things in his hands.

If the Pearl Harbor incident is really President Roosevelt's bitter plan, then President Roosevelt must do these things: first, he must ensure that the Japanese will attack Pearl Harbor desperately, and second, he must ensure that the Japanese will overcome the attack on Pearl Harbor Third, he must ensure that the US Pacific Fleet is still capable of defending the United States after the bombing of Pearl Harbor suffered heavy losses. Fourth, he must ensure that the US military can turn defeat into victory in a short period of time, because If the U.S. military is unable to launch a successful counterattack against the Japanese army for a long time, the foundation of the Japanese army’s rule of East and Southeast Asia will become deeper and more solid, and it will become more and more difficult to defeat Japan. Industrial productivity also did not give the U.S. a military advantage. The U.S. had three aircraft carriers in the war, but the Japanese had four. President Roosevelt had to ensure that the U.S. could win in such a situation. In fact, this was impossible because the Japanese had originally He planned to dispatch 3 aircraft carriers to the battle, but 4 of them were injured in the previous Coral Sea Battle. President Roosevelt could either predict that the Japanese army would have 6 aircraft carriers injured before the Battle of Midway, or he could ensure that the US military used 2 aircraft carriers. Fifth, President Roosevelt must ensure that Japan, which has greatly increased in strength after the Pearl Harbor incident and its crazy expansion in Southeast Asia, can be defeated by the United States. Surrender; Sixth, as a statesman, President Roosevelt had to be farsighteder than a military strategist to realize that aircraft carriers would replace battleships in naval battles.

President Roosevelt can only play this bitter game that is almost a gamble, but if he can really do these, then what is the difference between him and God? Zhuge Liang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was evaluated as "a lot of wisdom and close to a monster", and President Roosevelt was basically the same. He was either a god, a monster, or he was a "historical cheater" just like Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo was very convinced at this time that the Pearl Harbor incident was definitely not a bitter plan by President Roosevelt or the President of the United States.

In the final analysis, the trick is to use self-injury to achieve the goal, but if you cut your own flesh too much, you will die if you bleed, so what is the purpose?Zhou Yu's beating of Huang Gai is a typical bitter trick. Zhou Yu's beating of Huang Gai can make Huang Gai gain Cao Cao's trust, so Zhou Yu didn't chop Huang Gai's hands and feet.

Therefore, since the purpose has been achieved, as for paying a higher price?

Therefore, the Japanese army's successful attack on Pearl Harbor was by no means a "bitter plan" by President Roosevelt or the U.S. government. The most reasonable analysis is this: the U.S. government, including President Roosevelt, had indeed sensed that Japan was about to strike, but they judged that the Japanese army would attack the Philippines. Waiting for the attack, basically did not expect that the Japanese army would directly attack Pearl Harbor, because the difficulty of attacking Pearl Harbor was too high, so the Japanese were caught off guard.

The statement that the attack on Pearl Harbor was a conspiracy is actually the same as many people in later generations claiming that "Apollo No.

Putting out the cigarette butt in his hand, Jiang Weiguo opened the curtains and windows, and the oncoming cool breeze refreshed him immediately: "People make decisions, and heaven makes things happen. This is the famous saying of Marquis Zhuge Wu, but I don't think so. It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to people to make things happen!"

With such contemplation and still unshakable belief, Jiang Weiguo is ready to meet the new and greatest challenges for himself and the whole of China in the future.

At the same time, the Japanese archipelago on the other side of the sea, Tokyo, and the Imperial Conference are being held.

Chapter 619 The Wind Blows (2)

The Imperial Conference is the highest-level meeting held by the Japanese military and political leaders. The so-called "Imperial Conference" means "in front of the Emperor". There is no doubt that such a meeting is extremely decisive and can directly determine national policy.

A war against the United States is a ground-breaking event. The Chinese high-level officials in Wuhan are extremely nervous and cautious about this, and the Japanese high-level leaders in Tokyo are the same, but the degree is different.

In the final analysis, no matter how arrogant and arrogant the Japanese are, if they really want to fight against the United States, the world's most powerful country, they will inevitably feel guilty and panic in their hearts.

The convening of this imperial meeting is not only the "sacred will" of Emperor Hirohito, but also the hope of high-level Japanese officials, because Emperor Hirohito also feels unsure about this major event, and he needs his humerus ministers to give him a final statement face to face. Japan's high-level officials hope to take this opportunity to obtain "clear emperor's will".

The place where the imperial meeting is held is the conference hall in the imperial palace. This conference hall is both magnificent and simple and solemn. The ceiling and walls full of dark styles make the conference room faintly shrouded in a sense of majesty and oppression. It is not spacious. The conference hall was almost filled with large conference tables.

The conference table is rectangular, with the long sides facing the north-south direction and the short sides facing the east-west direction, because the Japanese regard "east" as the respect, and the arrangement of the participants is as follows: seven people sit on the south side, and the north side also sits Seven people, there is no seat on the west side, and a separate main seat is set up on the east side. This main seat is very unique. Its uniqueness lies in its height. The main seat is not on the ground, but on a platform, and the height of the platform is the same as that of the desktop. In this way, the participants on the north and south sides are at normal heights after sitting down, while the person in the main seat is high after sitting down, and the height of his seat is as if his seat is placed on the table, so that other people Everyone is "lower than him", but he is "higher than others", and can look down on other participants from a high position.

Undoubtedly, such a weird and ingenious arrangement and layout has profound meaning, because this main seat is not for ordinary people, and even, this seat is not for "people" at all, but for "gods". of.

Sitting on this lofty throne is Emperor Hirohito himself.

In the hearts of more than 7000 million Japanese people, the Emperor is a descendant of Amaterasu, by no means a "mortal", but a "god who lives in the world in a human way", extremely noble and sacred.

Naturally, gods look down on ants-like human beings from high in the sky, and the emperor is the same. Even in meetings, the emperor's seat should be superior to others, so that he can "look down on mortals."

On the main seat, Emperor Hirohito was dressed in a spotless military uniform, sitting upright with no expression on his face. His gaze was ethereal and empty as if "not stained by any mortal things", which made his whole body exude a kind of mystery and a kind of otherworldly solemnity that people dare not face.

Hirohito didn't mean to do this, he just had to, because the emperor is a "god". Since he is a god, he must not laugh and scold like ordinary people. The mystery of the space makes it difficult for others to use ordinary people as a reference to guess the "unfathomable" in the emperor's heart. Therefore, Hirohito will always be like a god in a temple in front of outsiders, although he is alive.

At the foot of the Emperor, the high-ranking Japanese officials who participated in the meeting bowed their heads in reverence and trepidation. In fact, even if they looked up, they could not see Hirohito's "sacred face". They had to look up to see it, but no one would do this. It is a matter of disrespect, because the high-level Japanese attendees all have a pious, solemn, and solemn mood similar to that of a pilgrim.
