"Sir Luo, my complexion has recovered well recently."

"This is also thanks to Mr. Chen's medical skills. Traditional Chinese medicine is really amazing. I feel that my health has improved a lot recently."

"Yeah!" Chen Kan nodded slightly and accepted his praise: "This is just a slight effort. I also want to thank Sir Luo for taking in the Chinese who came to Hong Kong."

Chen Kan's patient is named Luo Fuguo, the current governor of Hong Kong. As for why there is a Chinese name, it is not because this person is Chinese, he is a genuine British, but just to make Hong Kong people feel intimate and hope that Hong Kong Chinese people will know and accept the rule of the British. Therefore, the governor of Hong Kong has a Chinese name.

In real world history, Luo Fuguo also provided a lot of help to China's anti-Japanese war, because allowing weapons to enter China from Hong Kong has also caused many protests from Japan, supporting Hong Kong people's anti-Japanese marches, donations and other acts.

Later, the passage into China was cut off, and he began to form an army and lure foreign aid to guard against Japan through a series of means. On the eve of the war, Hong Kong had 10,000 troops, but unfortunately Hong Kong had no danger to defend, so it was abandoned by Fat Chiu. After the waterway was cut off in the real world, it was soon captured by Japan.

However, due to physical reasons, Luo Fuguo resigned a few months before the war broke out and left Hong Kong. He escaped, but did not become a prisoner and eventually died of illness.

However, in this plane, Hong Kong has become a neutral city, and these things should not happen. He is still relatively friendly to China, so Chen Kan uses traditional Chinese medicine to nourish his body, hoping that he can sit in this position for a few more years, and it is best to end the war.

With such a good relationship and good-looking governor Chen Kan is more relaxed in doing things, especially when he took in Chinese who fled to Hong Kong due to the war, which made Chen Kan feel pretty good to him.

Because of the war, a large number of Chinese people fled to Hong Kong, and the population of Hong Kong increased by 50% in less than a year. This is very terrible. In order to support so many people, Longhumen also gave a lot of financial support.

"Sir Luo, what do you think about this war between Japan and China?" Chen Kan asked.

"Japan will be defeated!" Luo Fuguo said without hesitation.

"Oh, why?" Chen Kan asked curiously. To be honest, the whole world is generally not optimistic about China's form now, because the gap between the two sides is too big, and Luo Fuguo is so confident that Chen Kan is very curious.

"Does Mr. Chen know about the Hundred Years' War?" Luo Fuguo asked back.

"Of course." Chen Kan nodded. The Hundred Years' War was a war between Britain and France between 1337 and 1453, and it was also the longest war in the world. It lasted for 116 years and finally ended with the victory of France.

"The failure of the Hundred Years' War, the British Empire learned from the lessons of failure and gave up the mainland policy, which made it today's glory. However, Japan did the opposite and implemented the mainland policy. This was the biggest failure." Luo Fuguo said.

"Yes, strategically speaking, Japan did make a very failed decision. It could have been the second British, but as a Chinese, I am very glad it did not do that." Chen Kan said with a smile.

"Ha ha."

Chen Kan admires Luo Fuguo’s history to speculate on the end of Japan’s defeat in the end. The Chinese people say “learning from history” is nothing more than this.

From the perspective of a prophet, Chen Kan did have many similarities compared with the Hundred Years of War between Britain and France and the Sino-Japanese War. Britain back then was like Japan now, and France was like China now.

The Hundred Years War awakened the French nation and completed the national unity. Similarly, the War of Resistance Against Japan also awakened the Chinese nation and completed the national unity.

Before the Sino-Japanese War, most Chinese people did not have the so-called "national consciousness". Now the slogans such as patriotism and revitalization of China that we see on TV, novels, and textbooks in modern times are actually just slogans of scholars and upper-class people.

The ordinary people at that time had no such idea at all. The general Chinese did not have the so-called national consciousness. What is the difference between this national consciousness and whether it is not?

For example, for example, in the Qing Dynasty, it was definitely a dynasty that was unified by outsiders and invaders, but ordinary people did not boycott them at all.

Because at that time, there was no national consciousness. For ordinary people, the Ming Dynasty was just equivalent to a president of a modern large company. The change from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty was just like a company changing to a president. There was no difference between ordinary employees, and what should be done or what should be done.

Sometimes when I look at modern history, I sigh that there are so many "traitors". In fact, this word is not very accurate, because at that time, there was no national consciousness in their hearts. In their eyes, they just changed a boss. This boss was Chinese or Japanese. What does it matter? Just like the Ming Dynasty was replaced by the Qing Dynasty.

But this is not the case after the national consciousness is formed. For example, we hate traitors now. This is because we now have a collective understanding of the nation. Otherwise, how could you feel annoying? Make an assumption that if the chairman really surrendered during the Anti-Japanese period, will the anti-Japanese war be considered a failure?

No, because of the formation of national consciousness, the Chairman is just a representative. We do not admit that you are nothing. I am for my nation, not for you.

During the Hundred Years' War, France had even become a British vassal state, and the kings surrendered, but the French continued to fight under the national banner and finally turned defeat into victory. This is national consciousness.

Back then, the British used iron cavalry to make the French nation awaken their national consciousness, and the Japanese used guns and bayonets to make the Chinese nation awaken. We must know that the awakening of national consciousness is also a prerequisite for the emergence of modern countries.

The process of the Hundred Years' War and Sino-Japanese War is also very similar. At the beginning, Britain defeated France step by step, but then Britain fell into the People's War. At the end of the war, France turned defeat into victory, completed unity, and laid the outline of today's French territory, which is highly similar to the Sino-Japanese War.

However, Chen Kan talked about these things as hindsight, not because Luo Fuguo came to the conclusion that "Japan will definitely lose". Luo Fuguo's policy on the mainland of Japan determined that its failure was related to the policy after the defeat of Britain in the Hundred Years War.

The Hundred Years War was caused by Britain's favor of European territory. For Britain, the consequences were heavy, but Japan did not learn from it. It had great territorial ambitions to peek at the territory of the Asian continent.

So what is the correct way to do it?

It is what the UK does. From a geographical point of view, the UK is an isolated island. Due to the failure of mainland policies, a famous set of policies gradually emerged and formed, which is the so-called "glorious isolation" policy.

The simple explanation of this policy is that on the surface I am not involved in European affairs, and I seem to be indifferent to the world, but in fact I am acting as the mastermind behind the scenes and "make up" behind the scenes, making it impossible for Europe to have a strong country.

It's a bit like a game called "Gopher Fighting". Holding a hammer in your hand, you will hit whoever comes out. This is the policy of Britain in its strongest era. It is this policy that laid the foundation for the "Empire that never sets the sun", because this policy has never appeared in the European continent that can threaten Britain.

Which country is stronger, let's join forces with other countries to fight him. Queen Elizabeth did a very beautiful job back then. The Spanish fleet was called "Invincible Fleet". It was invincible and threatened Britain. So the queen came to France and said to the French king: "You help me fight Spain, and then I will marry you, how about it?"

Then France fought a battle with Spain, and finally Comrade Queen said that she should consider the major marriages carefully, but she would not marry anymore.

France became stronger, and Comrade Queen came to Spain and said to the Spanish king: "You send troops to help me fight France, and then I will marry you, how about it?"

Spain really fought, and Comrade Queen once again said she wanted to think about it carefully.

The queen never got married in her life, but she used the word "marriage" to play with the monarch of the European continent in applause.

Later, Napoleon swept across Europe and established a powerful French Empire. The anti-French alliance several times, whoever was the most active was Britain. He joined forces with other countries to form an "anti-French alliance" many times, and was determined to kill Napoleon. General Wellington (the commander of the Allied Army in the Battle of Waterloo) was the British.

But after really defeating Napoleon, Britain said that it could not punish France severely and that it was necessary to deal with leniency. It would be best to restore the situation before Napoleon. Is it really a discovery of the conscience of the British?

In fact, I was worried that excessive suppression of France would make other countries bigger, so I couldn't kill France. After Napoleon, Russia became a European policeman, and Britain could not afford to join forces with other countries to fight against Russia. The Crim War was promoted by Britain. This war caused Russia to be defeated and never recovered from then on.

Germany was defeated in the first battle, and France was determined to kill Germany. Whoever stopped it the most? It was Britain. The reason was very simple, and France could not be the dominant one.

This is "fighting gophers". There cannot be a super power. Japan has the same status as Britain in geographically, and it is also lonely overseas and has the third largest navy in the world. Japan's conditions at that time were even much better than Britain, and it was completely playing "fighting gophers".

In fact, Japan did the same at the beginning. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing government was defeated. As soon as the contract was signed, Japan took the initiative to show kindness to the Qing government. Everyone came to cooperate, and what was going to attack the powerful Russia in the north.

At first, the Qing government had not reacted, and was unwilling to do so. It even signed a Sino-Russian Secret Agreement with Russia. This secret agreement would have ruined China after it, and it lost a large amount of territory and sovereignty, which would definitely lead the wolf into the house.

After coming back to his senses, the Qing government quickly started cooperation with Japan; it was indeed a bit incredible. During the Eight-Nation Alliance, Japan was the last one to agree to send troops (the old woman seeks death by herself), and she also took the initiative to protect Chinese residents.

After the Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing, Japan issued small flags to many people, saying that these people were protected by our Japan and that soldiers from other countries were not allowed to rob their property. Of course, it is not that Japan is as close as one of China. That is impossible. It is just for political needs. A large number of Chinese people were also massacred in Lushun. To be precise, it should have a good relationship with the Qing government, and its strategy is correct.

During the Russo-Japanese War, Russia failed, and the Qing government made great efforts behind the scenes. At that time, many progressive people from the people spontaneously raised funds for Japan. Yuan Datou also sent the strongest army to secretly help. The local government took the initiative to provide intelligence to fight in China. With the support of the Chinese, can Japan not win?

If Japan continues this strategy, it will be terrible for China. Later, the Chinese and domestic quarrels were in a melee and local separatism. If Japan still "beats the gopher" at this time, it can be imagined that China's unification process may have lasted for a long time. This is also the reason why Chen Kan would say, "I'm very glad it did not do this."

Japan has inherent strategic shortcomings and has implemented mainland policies. In fact, failure has been inevitable since Japan's occupation of North Korea. There are maritime countries and mainland countries in this world, but there are no complex countries in the sea and land.

The reason is very complicated. This kind of country seems to be born to attract hatred and will make it betrayal of its relatives and relatives. The whole world will take it as its enemy and will eventually end up being ruined, no matter how powerful the country has ever been.

Japan's mainland policy is to turn itself into a complex sea-land country. This can be seen from the subsequent transformation of the world's powerful countries towards Japan's foreign policy, and it has gradually been isolated.
