How did I become a villain

"The Japanese have always been familiar with the trick of changing concepts secretly." Kennedy also responded with words. "After all, we don't understand what the East is doing. Some sayings are just another way of saying things in different packaging."

He has a deep understanding today.

Indeed, Kennedy was anxious about how much of a similar problem the Japanese were hiding from the United States.

"When the Japanese army burned, killed, and looted in Asia, they didn't respect the priests and locals here. Why did the church advocate for forgiveness for those victims when they needed to be liquidated?" Griffin concluded Add one more sentence. "The emperor is the biggest tablet of militarism. As long as the emperor does not fall, fascist thinking will always exist in Japan. General, you want to comprehensively reform Japan. This is a hurdle you cannot avoid. After all...you don't want your efforts to become A breeding ground for the remnants of the military nation?"

After listening to her speech, MacArthur frowned and remained silent.

There is some truth to Griffin's words, at least she clearly pointed out the problem of the emperor, and even mentioned the differences between Shintoism today and the past.It's just that it's okay for others to propose a solution, but her identity is a German who was once an ally of Japan.

Are you embarrassed to say such a thing?Didn't you Germans do similar things?

Volume 174.4: [-] The Supreme Emperor Was Persuaded

Having said that, MacArthur must also admit that the other party's point of view is correct.

Former war criminals continue to be active as today's entrepreneurs and new government bureaucrats. Even the emperor has not been tried, let alone these accomplices.You must know that even those companies in Germany that manufactured military equipment and materials for the war faced dismantling and acquisitions after the war, and their managers also received due sanctions.

Even Germany is like this, why can these companies in Japan be an exception?

Even though a round of splitting has been implemented on them... But now it seems that this punishment is far from enough!

MacArthur had the ambition to be president, and Japan was the stage for him to display his aspirations. If he couldn't even implement this only political achievement, how could he persuade voters to vote for him.

But... Although MacArthur believes that these people are indeed not good birds and will become an important obstacle to Japan's democratization reform in the long run, he is still hesitant about what to do to sell them at a good price.

MacArthur revealed to the two people in the office: "It's not that I haven't considered what you said. But without enough economic strength and backing as a foundation, I am very worried that doing so will cause turmoil in Japanese society. Moreover, I have long missed it. It is too late to talk about the second trial now. More importantly, it will cause interference by external forces and give the Soviet Union an opportunity. You may not know that there are still a considerable number of members of the Japanese Communist Party."

He had just pardoned the emperor's war crimes, thereby stabilizing a large number of high-level Japanese officials, but now he wants to settle the score?After all, MacArthur was not a mature politician, he knew very few tricks, and he couldn't save his face.

Moreover, it is not clear how many Japanese people are still loyal to the emperor. If there is a national incident, he is very worried that he will not be able to complete the suppression in a short time.If the Japanese economy returns to its original shape because of this incident, his work in the past two years will be in vain.

"It might have been a matter of consideration to put it in the Soviet Union in the past, but now it won't be." Griffin shook his head with a profound expression. "Europe's energy core is enough for them to be busy. How can they take care of Japan at this time. If you can't break it, you can't build it. The longer this matter is delayed, the less conducive to the reconstruction work after the war. New meat? Let me say that the future of Japan should be reborn from top to bottom and from the inside out. If not, can you leave Japan with confidence?"

"So when you handed over the energy core, you already anticipated the present?" MacArthur was stunned for a moment, and he asked in surprise: "You have already started thinking about Japan's issues since then?"

Well!The old man reacted quite quickly, and he knew that I had been coveting Japan for a long time.

Griffin settled down, and only listened to her explain: "You have to know, I proposed the establishment of the Human United Front at the Berlin Conference. The purpose is to unite all countries on the earth and resist the threat of alien civilization. But before using force , we must first develop the technological level of the earth and increase cooperation between countries. Facing the invasion of alien civilizations, no country on the earth can survive alone. Don’t you think that Japan can be forgiven by neighboring countries? "

If you can't even talk about forgiveness, how can you talk about cooperation?

"Of course not!" MacArthur said without hesitation.

As the supreme commander of the Asian theater, he is not ignorant of what the Japanese have done.But still the same sentence, apart from the fear of almost becoming a member of the Bataan Death March, he lacks sympathy for the tragedies that happened in other countries.

At the same time, he is also a narrow-minded person. The Japanese just made such a "trivial" mistake against him, and he will use thunderous wrists to deter him.In the eyes of some people, MacArthur is a tyrant, but he himself does not mind using this derogatory title, because he believes that as long as he can achieve the desired purpose, even a tyrant can gain a large number of supporters.

Kindness does not lead soldiers, and MacArthur is not kind at all.

He had to admit that this girl's ideas had transcended the shackles of the world, and were based on the assumptions of all human beings.

From the perspective of human civilization, the earth and outer space, Griffin regards the concept of all human beings, or the collective, as more important than countries or individuals.It's a pity that the reality cannot be so simple. It's not that if you say "we should unite", we can really unite regardless of objective factors.

State-to-state intrigues are enough to prolong this ultimate purpose indefinitely.

But... so what?

Does this conflict with my desire to reform Japan and realize my political ambitions?

MacArthur wanted to enter the political world, so he worked hard to transform Japan, just as conscientiously as he did gardening in his own back garden.When the reform plan encounters a bottleneck, it is not that he cannot accept other suggestions, but he must be on the right side from beginning to end.

Since the Guardian of the Rubik's Cube has the idea of ​​uniting all mankind, let her first try to unite the Japanese people.If she does well, she will honor her statement at the Berlin Conference, and she can benefit from it; if she does not do well, she can also act as a backer to come forward to save the situation.Even, he can get more from these Japanese.

After thinking like this, MacArthur finally felt that he had found a proper way to solve the problem at hand.He said: "So I can't help but wonder, how can you deal with problems that we can't even solve? Use unlimited energy? Or do you plan to make Japan a purely high-end technology manufacturing center in Asia?"

This slightly provocative rhetoric and the message revealed between the lines were of course captured by Griffin.

He let go, but still wanted to take advantage.

But Griffin is here to do business, not to pick words. As long as the core interests are not involved, she does not intend to delve into the small flaws in the process.Compared to this, she wanted to get the other party's promise not to interfere with her actions.

"We have the same attitude towards the future development of Japan. Militarism must be eliminated, the binding of religion since Emperor Meiji should be dismantled, and even gods should be banned like the National Socialist Party when necessary. Taoism. Even the point you mentioned, General, to make Japan an important base for the tertiary industry in Asia and even the world through unlimited energy technology, is also possible.” Do you want a completely reformed Japan?No problem, I can give them a complete makeover. "But General, to accomplish this, I need your unreserved support."

MacArthur was greatly benefited from such a formal statement and gesture of goodwill. He waved his hand and said, "Of course. I will support your plan. The US military stationed in Japan is your solid backing. Where do you plan to start?"

Volume 174.5: [-] Japanese god assists

In fact, sometimes dealing with political noobs has unexpected benefits. As the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan, MacArthur ignored the possible political impact of doing so.He was not interested in how the girl planned to implement the plan, but asked her directly where to start.

As long as unlimited energy becomes an important guarantee for Japan's technological development, it doesn't matter if Japan's volcano erupts now.

Simple and direct, in line with the thinking of American soldiers.

He didn't even confirm that Griffin agreed to place the power core in Japan.Because he didn't know how many energy cores there were.

After all, after this group of U.S. troops who have never fought a serious battle and the United States behind it became the world's hegemony, their great glory concealed their meager family background and basically no army tradition, which gave them the birth of Laozi Tianxia First illusion.

But she needs to capitalize on that illusion now.

Griffin was not in a hurry to answer. She looked at Kennedy beside her, as if she had just remembered that there was such a person in the room.

"Finally it's my turn to play?" Kennedy recovered from his drowsiness.He cheered up, he had been convinced from the very beginning, and he was even more eager to try her plan. "I don't know what the Lord Guardian wants me to do?"

This man even had the mood to put on a show.

Griffin said to him: "Please also ask the ambassador to lodge a diplomatic protest to the Japanese government as soon as possible, on the grounds that during the visit to Japan, the American representatives were forced by the Japanese side to visit local shrines, accept the concept of cults, and interfere with the freedom of religious belief of Americans. Persecuted by cult members, the US team visiting Japan urgently moved to the US military base in Japan to take refuge."

Just a diplomatic protest?What kind of move is this?Are you sure the protest works?

Kennedy couldn't help asking: "And then?"

"Wait for them to mess around."

This is just an excuse, not the crux of the problem.It’s okay to deliberately criticize that the fish served by the Japanese during the banquet was contaminated by nuclear radiation, and not everyone knows the nuclear radiation value of the atomic bomb.With their guts, do they still dare to have a re-enactment of the Honnōji BBQ?

"I thought you would use unlimited energy to reach some kind of deal with him." Coming out of MacArthur's office, looking at the peaceful night scene, Kennedy said.

"Of course not, I made the energy core for Germany." Griffin shook his head.You regard the energy core as jelly beans, how much do you want to make?Besides, it was given to Japan.Why, do I think Asia is not chaotic enough?Germany is the hometown of my predecessor and my wife, but Japan is not. "Too much reliance on external forces cannot become a qualified diplomat. Because this trick is too easy to crack."

"Well, what you said is indeed reasonable. The Japanese should be taught a good lesson." Kennedy shrugged. "But don't we really have to do anything other than protest?"

"Of course. The Japanese are the best at figuring out others, and they will fill in the rest for us."

During the day, the Japanese representatives were already in a state of confusion, and at night MacArthur's behavior of deliberately leaving the other side alone deepened the panic.When this protest comes out, all the attention will be on the religious conflict.Regardless of whether it is the Vatican Church or the local religion that attracts at that time, just a few more misunderstandings will further intensify the contradictions between them.

If I find a suitable time to release the lore, I will be able to deal with the issue of Japanese militarism and Shintoism in a logical manner.

This is the first time she has acted in a dishonorable way, and it can even be said to go against the positive image she has always given people.But Griffin never thought of herself as a saint, nor did she want others to see her as one without blemish.

She has always been an ordinary person with joys, sorrows, sorrows and worldly utilitarianism.

But what she never dreamed of was that the Japanese's assists would come so quickly.

The Japanese were indeed panicked. They tried their best to please the person they were trying to please, but because of their ignorance, the scene that should have been harmonious was once very embarrassing.Not only did the representatives frown coldly, but even the Allied Commander, who had always been able to speak in the past, now thanked guests behind closed doors.The US military station blocked the news, and the Japanese side could not get any wind direction. Although many people who came here said that the situation was unclear at this time, and internal chaos could not be caused first, a serious protest document from Kennedy, the visiting representative to Japan, was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. , the already cloudy situation finally had violent ripples.

American Dad is angry, with serious consequences.

They even slandered Shintoism as a cult. Japan's invitation to visit the shrine hindered the freedom of belief of the American representative and became a victim of Zism.

Where is this going!

Although the Japanese were dazed by this inexplicable punch, they also realized the crux of the problem.

The Yankees are going to fire on their religion.

As a native Japanese, no one knows better than them what is hidden behind this belief, and no one knows better than them what it means.

A series of blows threw them into chaos.

In the past, as long as the method of cracking this trick was to respond to the United States, it also hindered one's own religious belief and freedom, but for Japan now, it dare not say it anyway.As defeated and vassal states, they do not have the confidence and strength to speak.

But it doesn't work if you don't respond. The Japanese side quarreled endlessly about this, and gradually divided into two points of view. But they are still rational at this time, and they are very tacit and have not put forward stupid words that will kill the net.Both sides advocate appeasement, but there are differences on the specific implementation.

But in the face of the pressing American representatives, the differences between the two groups are getting bigger and bigger.

In the end, the more radical party even came up with an unthinkable solution.They carried out this plan without informing the Intellectuals.

One day in mid-May 1947, when Kennedy and his lover and girlfriend Adele appeared in the block outside the station, a Japanese man in white unlined clothes suddenly rushed out and completed it in front of everyone on the scene. From the run-up to the emergency stop, kneeling on the ground to the whole process of drawing the knife and cutting the abdomen.

The decisive action and the precision of the knife did not give the shocked Kennedy any time to react.When the surrounding crowd shouted in panic and the guards went up to stop him, the man who had undergone laparotomy was hopeless and died on the way to the hospital.

Kennedy knew the man, the Japanese representative who had invited them to the shrine that day.Faced with the crazy behavior of the other party who chose to apologize by harakiri, this playboy was really frightened.

Regardless of whether the man was doing it for apology or intimidation, whether it was his own arbitrariness or at the behest of the Japanese side, his actions have pushed the already tense situation hard.

With this incident, the situation became more complicated.

Volume 174.6: [-] Faint tricks frequently appear

It is impossible for Griffin not to know about such a big event at the Allied Forces station.

"When people are attracted to an event, the best way to regain the initiative is to create another event and use one headline to cover another headline. New events need time to ferment, but the old heat is fermenting. Time fades away. When the whole thing dies down, who will remember what really happened in the first place?"

This trick will be widely used in the future Internet age, and the memory of most Internet users is usually only a few days.There are a lot of melons on the Internet every day, and some truths are hastily buried by meaningless traffic.

Seeing this familiar routine again now, not only did she feel calm in her heart, she even wanted to laugh.

"It's just a traditional distraction method, don't say you don't understand."

"Indeed, the current behavior of the Japanese is similar to what you described." Kennedy frowned and nodded slowly. "But his behavior was too extreme."

After all, he had experienced the war, and he himself was not frightened by the bloody scene at that time, but Adele, who was traveling with her, had never seen such a tragic scene.

Although he only regarded Adele as one of many lovers at the beginning, as time went by, her understanding character began to fascinate Kennedy, and his concern for her changed from an ordinary lover to a lover. The most special one.

Because Kennedy did not meet his destined original partner Jacqueline this year, but instead got along with Adele day and night and developed feelings.Although they did not officially admit it, both in private and in some public places, the two are no different from men and women in love.

It seems that the only thing that can stand in the way of him and Adele is the other party's parentage.

Now that his girlfriend is being frightened like this, Kennedy, who claims to be a gentleman, feels anxious and feels that he has not fulfilled the duties that a gentleman should have.

Knowing that the idol was frightened, a large number of American soldiers were furious and threatened to make the Japanese look good. The scene got out of control for a while, and was suppressed by their superiors in the end, but the conflict between the two sides is deepening little by little.

Holding part of his mind to vent his anger on his girlfriend, Kennedy's attitude towards Japan has become increasingly indifferent in recent days.He clung to the initial diplomatic dispute, thinking that the Japanese were rude first and then threatened with their lives, which made the Japanese, who have always been polite, very embarrassed.

The two sides have been arguing about this matter for more than half a month. In the eyes of the Japanese, they have already paid for their mistakes with their lives. Why do you Americans still hold on to this matter?

What else do you want?

"This is putting pressure on us." The girl sneered. "They intend to 'shock' us in this way, emphasizing to us that Japan still has the spirit of not being afraid of death. If there is a death, we will be more inclined to use peaceful means to solve the problem."

Everyone has different views on the same thing. Although such an understanding includes personal feelings, it cannot be said to be wrong.

If the Americans follow the script given by the Japanese side, the incident will naturally subside smoothly, and then the Japanese side can publicize to the public that the deceased sacrificed themselves for the country, and by the way, it will increase a wave of cohesion.They even put his spiritual seat in the shrine grandiosely, to find a reasonable explanation for the return of more heroic spirits who "died for the country" in the future.

Griffin will not allow this to happen. She is here to destroy militarism, not to be the initiator of all this.The Japanese can't engage in such small tricks under her nose.

In her opinion, it was a failure for her not to level the shrine, let alone let them continue to transport ghosts into it.

Isn't it good to accept your mistakes honestly and reflect on them?Do not struggle to the death.

The behavior of the Japanese aroused the competitive spirit of the girls. You just dance and do it, resist and struggle as much as you want, and I will only be more excited.

Then she tried to persuade MacArthur to stick to the principles. Fortunately, the Japanese overlord still remembered how the Japanese treated her in the past, and now she saw that they were also trying to sue the US government and indirectly put pressure on herself.

At this time, Truman's main focus was on the energy core placed in the underground base of the Pentagon in Washington. His newly formed research team has been trying to analyze infinite energy, and has no time to deal with this dispute that is not a major issue in his eyes.Although in the end the president meant to make MacArthur, the commander of the Allied Forces, pay attention to the influence, but the Japanese's overreaching behavior still made the pipe-smoking man feel that his majesty was offended.

"The Japanese approached me to talk about this before we met during the day. They wanted a credence, a bottom line on which to agree. They must have realized that I wanted to use this incident to expand the scope of the attack, maybe The previously interrupted reform plan for the demilitarization of native religions. They are trying their best to avoid this kind of thing from happening. There is no doubt that they are still as loyal as you said. So I did not express my position at the time." MacArthur said, He couldn't help laughing himself. "But you will never guess how they want to buy me-they actually proposed to let me be the 'general who conquered barbarians'. Let the emperor retreat into the background again and become the spiritual symbol of the Japanese people."

"puff!"

When MacArthur uttered these familiar words, Griffin really couldn't hold back.The girl hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, but she still couldn't help laughing out loud.

The Japanese Conquest General was originally established by the emperor to deal with the Ainu people in northern Japan, that is, the Ainu people. In the past few hundred years, the Yamato people have gradually expanded their sphere of influence from the west to the east. Expand from the south to the north, and eventually unify the Japanese archipelago.The Ainu also gradually integrated into Japan in this process and became a minority.

Now the Emperor of Japan wants to grant the post of General Conquering Barbarians to MacArthur, the conqueror of Japan, just like he did to Genji back then. I don’t know whether this is a kind of favor or Americans who want to accept Japanese as dogs.Who would be willing to change a worker who was demoted from the Japanese emperor to the emperor for no reason?

The Yamato expelled the Ainu, and now they handed over the position of general to MacArthur, who was born in Xiyi, and MacArthur conquered Japan.Feng Shui takes turns, but don't you realize that your actions indirectly prove that you have become the barbarians before you knew it?

Which hellish idea is this?Is it a temptation made knowing that it is impossible to achieve, or are they doing everything they can to keep militarism?

Volume 174.7: [-] No way

"I don't think so." Griffin arched. "Japan's shoguns were the actual leaders of the entire country during the feudal period. They were all Genji, and Genji came from the emperor's lineage. It is far-fetched to say that the emperor's blood is ruling Japan. If they really want you to be the general who conquers barbarians , then you should find a princess from the royal family to marry you."

MacArthur obviously didn't understand this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But I'm already married. It is impossible for my descendants to marry a Japanese woman, no matter how noble she is. So they are playing me?"

"With your prestige, general, you can indeed consider it." Kennedy also joined the chat at this time and laughed. "Then you will be Japan's first white general."
