Chapter 16 3. Reach out for crisis

The biggest problem arising from economic development is the widening gap between rich and poor, and most people have not benefited from economic development.One of the most typical examples is China, India, Russia, and Brazil, known as the "BRICs". These four countries are the most favored by the world, and their economies are developing very fast.A few years ago, India's economy developed at an astonishing speed, catching up with China's. However, during the election, the BJP, which led India to achieve an economic miracle, stepped down instead, and the Congress Party was elected.Why don't ordinary people vote for the People's Party?Because they think that in the process of economic development, it is the 500,000 IT elites who get the benefits, and the rural areas don't get the benefits, so I will use votes to pull you down.You take care of the rich, regardless of the life and death of the poor, so the gap between the rich and the poor is the most serious problem in a country.A healthy social structure should be jujube-pit or olive-shaped, while an unhealthy social structure is pyramid-shaped, with more people as you go down.Why is the social structure stable in today's European and American countries?Because they are all date-pit-shaped, there is a large and stable middle class team, especially in Western Europe, Northern Europe, those countries with universal welfare.The income gap between the poorest people in Sweden and the richest people is only 6 times. The rich take pleasure in giving, earning 1 million and paying 870,000 taxes. The more they pay, the more glorious they are.The United States at that time had a pyramid-shaped social structure.The richest 1% of people in the country account for 20% of national wealth; the poorest 20% only own 2.5% of national wealth.

There is a huge disparity between rich and poor, and there are too many poor people who cannot afford things, so they have no purchasing power.It doesn't matter if you don't have purchasing power, you can pay in installments, just like now, sell on credit.Now among Chinese young people, installment payment is very popular, and there are many "negative men".Installment payment is a concept advocated by the country now. Houses can be paid in installments, cars can be paid in installments, watches, pianos, everything can be paid in installments.The problem with installment payment is that it occupies the future market in advance.

When I was teaching in middle school, teachers who were younger than me all bought houses and drove nice cars.But the school said that we are going to Europe for inspection now, each person is 16,000 yuan, the school gets 12,000 yuan, and the individual pays 4,000 yuan. No one dares to go.I said that I can afford the 16,000, but none of them dare to go, why?When he thought about the house and the car, he had to pay 6,000 yuan a month, and 4,000 yuan was a year's gas money, so he couldn't go to Europe.Do you think you have lived a life of injustice?It's better to ride a bicycle to protect the environment and exercise.I only have so much money. If I have to pay off so many debts in the future, I can't afford to spend elsewhere.Therefore, selling on credit is to occupy the future market in advance.What if I can't afford it?No one thought about it at the time.

You want to pay in installments. A car costs $10,000. You pay $500 and drive home. The $9,500 is advanced by the bank. Why should the bank advance it?You have to have something as collateral—fixed assets, securities, gold and jewelry.You must have no house. If you have a house, how about taking a loan to buy a house?If you want gold and jewelry, it’s over if you sell it, and you don’t need a loan.what?marketable securities.what?stock.This can be used as collateral.At that time, all people in the United States speculated in stocks. If all the stocks in the U.S. stock market were sold, their value would be equivalent to 24 times the U.S. gross national product.Therefore, everyone can understand its danger.Stock trading does not say that ordinary people can make a fortune.

The result of everyone’s stock market crash was that the stock market crashed, and all things were finished. On October 24, 1929, a "Black Thursday", the stock market on Wall Street in New York crashed, triggering an economic crisis of unprecedented scale, that is, the Great Depression . This economic crisis has affected the entire world from the United States. It has been extremely long-term, wide-ranging, and destructive.The U.S. economy has set back 20 years, and 1933 is equivalent to 1913.Germany was even worse. 1933 was equivalent to 1896, and it was back to the era of William II.Economic production in the entire capitalist world has come to a complete standstill.

In the 20 years from 1919 to 1939, the biggest impact on the capitalist system came from two aspects, socialism and fascism.As soon as the economic crisis broke out, socialist movements and fascism developed within capitalist countries, which severely impacted capitalist democracy. 1929 was the election year of the United States. The Republican Hoover was elected president of the United States with a high number of votes, because he promised the people at that time that you would vote for me. Everyone had a car at home. A steamed chicken, the common people voted for him seeing that he could drive and eat chicken.Unexpectedly, if you can't eat KFC, you will have an economic crisis.Once the economic crisis broke out, President Hoover stubbornly insisted on the laissez-faire economic policy, ignored the crisis and let the market adjust.He also refused to provide relief. The United States of America does not raise lazy people. You are poor because you are lazy. Why am I not unemployed?Why is my president still doing it?At this time, many former white-collar workers were forced to live in the packaging boxes of large electrical appliances, in shacks made of linoleum and broken plastic sheets. The common people called this "Hoover House"; He chewed leftover chicken bones, potato skins, and rotten fruit. He called the plastic bag a "Hoover bag"; he wore newspapers to keep out the cold. Call that suit a "Hoover suit."Foreigners don't save money, and everyone has debts, so the dissatisfaction of the common people has reached its peak, which is a serious threat to democratic politics.

Don't think that only Germany has fascism, and Britain also has fascist organizations.The one in France is called the "Fire Cross Party". Listen to how terrifying the name is. The leader is an active army colonel. He launched an unsuccessful military coup to overthrow the democratically elected French government and establish a military dictatorship.The largest fascist organization in the United States is called the "German Association in America", which is mainly composed of German citizens in the United States.When this group of people rallied in Washington, they wore Nazi brown shirts, gave Nazi hand salutes, hung the Nazi flag side by side with the American flag, and hung the portrait of General Washington side by side with Hitler. Big insult.The ruling order within the capitalist countries has been severely impacted.

The economic crisis has severely impacted the external order of capitalist countries, and the contradictions between capitalist countries and colonial and semi-colonial countries have intensified, and the contradictions between capitalist countries have also intensified.Because everyone wants markets and raw materials, is beggar-thy-neighbor, and passes on the crisis, so there are many contradictions among countries. Throughout the economic crisis from 1929 to 1933, only one country escaped—Soviet Russia, which implemented a planned economy and had no connection with the world market.But with the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, this lesson was made up. In the non-war state in the 20th century, the two events that had the greatest impact on the human economy were the economic crisis from 1929 to 1933 and the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

In the entire capitalist world, the economic crisis has reached the point where it must be resolved. How to solve it?Different countries have adopted different methods, but they are all inseparable from state intervention. Roosevelt's New Deal was state intervention, and the fascist dictatorship was also state intervention. The old capitalist countries represented by the United States, through reforms, took the road of Roosevelt's New Deal and got out of crisis.This is not only the case in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom and France.The core of Roosevelt's New Deal is the three Rs—reform, relief, recovery, reform, relief, and recovery.

The first point of the New Deal measures was to rectify the banks. The economic crisis in the 19th century occurred in the manufacturing sector and ended within a year or so.In the 20th century, economic crises first occurred in the financial field.Once there is a problem in this field, it will be over. It means that there is a problem at the source of economic development. The most critical link in the chain is broken, and nothing can be done without money.Therefore, President Roosevelt rectified the banks and shut down all U.S. banks for three days, and the government had to conduct an assessment.After the evaluation, 8 of the more than 70,000 banks were allowed to resume operations. The deposits of these 8 banks accounted for 70% of the 70,000 banks, and they were all big banks.For example, Citigroup, which everyone is more familiar with, is called City Bank by Americans, and Citigroup is the Chinese name.The president asked these big banks to do their best to absorb funds. As much money as you can absorb, the Federal Reserve Board, which is equivalent to the central bank of the United States, will allocate the same money to you.In this way, the big banks absorbed more than one billion U.S. dollars, and the government allocated so much money. With the money, the economy can recover.

The second measure was the passage of the National Industrial Recovery Act.The output of products, the place of sale, and the minimum wage of workers are all determined by the state. When the "National Industrial Recovery Act" was sent to the Congress, members of Congress were anxious when they saw it, thinking that it was a copy of the "Communist Manifesto" and that a planned economy should be implemented in the United States.The first reading was rejected, and the second reading was rejected again. Roosevelt was sent to Congress for the third time. If he was rejected again this time, the president could order it to be implemented in the form of a presidential decree. If you break up, you usually can't reach this step.However, this time President Roosevelt made up his mind and forcibly passed the "National Industrial Recovery Act" in the form of a presidential order.Congress was also in a hurry and sued the Supreme Court.Isn't the United States divided into three powers?Congress sues the president, and the Supreme Court will try.The Supreme Court justices are so old that they almost forgot their last names.Besides, suing the president is not a trivial matter, and the trial will take a long time. When the Supreme Court strikes the gavel, the National Industrial Recovery Act is unconstitutional and can no longer be done.Roosevelt dressed it up and renamed it: "National Industrial Revival Directive Plan."It was sent again, but the Congress failed the first instance and the second instance, and then it was brought to the Supreme Court, and the same path was followed again.He just made this time difference, as long as you haven't ruled me unconstitutional, I'll do it.In this way, American industry was restored. The third measure is to adjust agriculture. More than 20 million large livestock were killed and buried for manure, tens of millions of acres of farmland were bulldozed, 10 million gallons of milk were poured into the Mississippi River, and you were going down there to bathe and get your skin ready.Why did it fall?It's not that the melamine exceeded the standard, it was too much, the common people couldn't drink it, and the entire Mississippi River was poured into the Milky Way.Why not sell the food?Poor people wear newspapers and sleep in refrigerator boxes. How much does your beef cost per pound? Can he afford it?The money you sell the cow for is not worth the cost of shipping it from the farm to the slaughterhouse.Therefore, it is simply destroyed, and the government compensates the farmers for the loss, waiting for the market to recover. How will the market recover?Ordinary people have to find jobs. Without jobs, they will not be able to earn money, and the market will not recover. Employment opportunities must be created for ordinary people.The Roosevelt administration promoted "relief with work", established specialized government agencies, and set up public projects to increase employment, stimulate consumption and production, and stabilize social order. In terms of social welfare, the government has strengthened relief work and provided social security for the elderly, the disabled, the unemployed and children. The implementation of Roosevelt's New Deal had an important impact: First, the U.S. economy has gradually come out of the slump, social productivity has been restored to a certain extent, and people's living standards have been restored and improved. Second, the implementation of the New Deal eased the social contradictions in the United States to a certain extent, curbed the fascist forces in the United States, and prevented the United States from taking the road of fascism in a crisis situation. Third, the New Deal created a new model of state intervention in economic development.The great economic crisis shows that the "laissez-faire" economic policy can no longer adapt to the rapid development of capitalist productivity, and it is urgent for the state to plan, control and regulate the economy as a whole to ensure the coordinated development of the national economy.The New Deal fixed the responsibility of the state to ensure economic stability and development through legal form.Since then, capitalism bid farewell to the era when the "laissez-faire" policy dominated, and ushered in the period of state monopoly capitalism characterized by state intervention in the economy. In the first 30 years of the 20th century, the planned economy appeared to be a success. After the implementation of the three five-year plans of the Soviet Union, it changed from an unranked country to the second industrial power in the world. Contains quite a few questions.At this time, the market economy appeared to have big problems on the surface, but through Roosevelt's New Deal, these problems were repaired by state intervention. Facing the economic crisis, Germany and Japan adopted a method different from Roosevelt's New Deal to get rid of it and established a fascist dictatorship. Both Germany and Japan established a fascist dictatorship, but the way the fascist dictatorship was established is different.Germany is a civil political party - the Nazi Party, which came to power through legal elections and gained power from the bottom up.In the past, when we had trouble with democratic politics, once we eliminated Western elections, we used this as an issue. Look at your democratic elections and elect a Hitler.However, there is only one Hitler who was elected. Democracy may elect Hitler, but no democracy must be Hitler. The establishment of the fascist dictatorship is completely the product of the lack of a nation's soul, and it is impossible for a healthy nation to worship such a figure.None of the fascist dictators were born in rich families and well-educated, basically they were born in petty bourgeois families.Hitler's father was a junior civil servant in the customs. He had studied in junior high school for five years.Hitler was not happy, he wanted to engage in art, and he applied for the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, but the result was yellow, so he could only wander on the street, earning a living by painting pictures and postcards for people.So he has a deep hatred for the society. A person as educated as me can't pass the exam. This society is too corrupt and dark.How can the deep-seated hatred be vented?That is, once I have power, I will be ruthless to this society, and I will take revenge on this society! When "World War I" broke out, Hitler applied to join the army in Austria, but failed the medical examination. He didn't know what was wrong with this guy, so he went to the German army instead. to the battlefield.Hitler showed amazing, almost crazy bravery on the battlefield. When others saw the bullets lying down, he stood up straight up, like a death squad, so he was quickly promoted from a soldier to a squad leader and won the Iron Cross.Generally speaking, such medals are rarely awarded to soldiers.In one battle, he was poisoned by the poisonous gas of the British and French forces and his eyes were damaged. He lay in the hospital for a year. When the gauze on his face was finally removed and he could see clearly, the war was over.Hitler was in pain and wanted to commit suicide.He felt that if the war did not end, I would be promoted to general.Now he rested, the war was over, he resumed his status as a tramp, and went to work as a spy in the German Army Intelligence Department. Because the German Army after World War I could only retain 100,000 people, it was impossible to leave a job for a person like him who didn't even have German nationality.When he was a spy, he was assigned to monitor a small party of less than a hundred people called the German Workers' Party.Later, he became the 97th member of the party, developed the small party, and changed the name of the party to the National Socialist German Workers Party.At first glance, it seems to be established by Marx.The German abbreviation is NAZI, and the transliteration is Nazi. According to the Chinese translation, it should be the Democratic Socialist Party.Hitler designed a brightly colored party flag for the party, with a white circle on a red background and a black swastika in the middle, which is a cross with a hook, a symbol of terror for the ancient Aryans.Party members wear uniforms.Because of the support of the bourgeoisie and the lower class people, the power has greatly increased. In the parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party became the largest party in the Congress, and Hitler was elected as the Chancellor of Germany. When President Marshal Hindenburg died of illness in 1934, he became the head of state of Germany, combining the powers of president and prime minister, and established a fascist dictatorship. After the fascist dictatorship was established, Germany began to expand its military and prepare for war. This military expansion and preparation for war actually solved the unemployment problem.Germany and Japan also intervene in the economy by the state, because they implement the militarization of the national economy, and the products are ordered by the state, which is equivalent to creating employment opportunities for workers.All heavy industrial enterprises have also been revived.If you still can't find a job, it doesn't matter. Now that the military is expanding and preparing for war, you can serve as a soldier.Joining the army has military pay, so that you can support your family.The Autobahn was invented by Hitler.China began to build expressways in the 1980s, and soon ranked third in the world in traffic mileage, second only to the United States and Germany, and now it seems to have surpassed Germany, because China has a large land after all, and it has surpassed Germany after building a few roads.The Germans built high-speed roads in the past to transport troops quickly, and now they can be used as airstrips during wars. Germany withdrew from the League of Nations in order to expand its armies and prepare for war.The German army was originally not allowed to exceed 100,000, but Hitler got 500,000, and later it grew to more than 1 million and 2 million, and the air force and navy were rebuilt. In 1936, German troops entered the Rhine Demilitarized Zone.At that time, there were more than 1,000 people in three battalions of the German army, and they entered on horseback.On the other side of the Rhine, the French have 23 divisions and more than 600 tanks. Once the French do it, the Germans will definitely be finished.Hitler gave the commander of this small force a secret order saying that if the French do it, run away.Unexpectedly, the French didn't do anything.Hitler saw through the harshness of the Versailles country, and only raised a few weak protests.The German soldiers were warmly welcomed by the local people in the Rhine region. A German boy who was about 1.8 meters tall rode a horse more than 2 meters tall and could be buried by flowers.The people of the Rhine have not seen the army of the motherland for more than ten years, and warmly welcome the German army to occupy the Rhine Demilitarized Zone.Hitler became more confident in expanding his military and preparing for war, and formulated a four-year guidance plan for the national economy. Generally, only authoritarian countries can formulate economic development plans. Isn’t it a joke that the US president formulated a five-year plan?Get out in four years, you make a five-year plan? Thought control began outside of military expansion and war preparations.There can only be one thought, and only one person in the country can think, and that is the Führer himself.Children in Germany had to join the Hitler Youth League when they were young. They wore white shirts, blue pants, and scarves. They got up every morning and went to school. There was a portrait of the Führer standing next to the blackboard in the classroom. The teacher led all the students to pay tribute to the Führer and report his thoughts. Children after the age of 12 must join the Hitler Youth League. In the Youth League, every child is told that the role of boys is to become a qualified fighter, and the role of girls is to produce more qualified fighters for the country.Why do German soldiers count as ten and ten on the battlefield, because they have received military training since they were 12 years old, and the whole country is a Spartan militarism.Before putting on the military uniform, the children were already proficient in all kinds of combat skills except that they had never really killed anyone. After they went to the battlefield, they fired two shots at the dead body, and their courage became stronger. Dare to beat the living.After the Allied forces landed in Normandy, they encountered the most elite troops in Germany, the 12th Division of the SS, also known as the Hitler Youth Division. All the soldiers were seventeen or eighteen-year-old children, members of the Hitler Youth League, and division commanders. Just 33 years old.But on the battlefield, his division resisted hundreds of thousands of allied troops. Originally, there were 18,000 troops in his team. After the battle, there were only 200 left, all of whom died in battle.These seventeen or eighteen-year-olds are completely brainwashed. The most horrific and heinous aspect of the Nazi regime was its genocidal policy.Who will be killed?Jewish.Because the Jews are considered heretics and do not convert. In addition, the Jews are even more popular when they get rich.Therefore, the Jews were persecuted throughout Europe.During the period of Nazi rule, about 6 million Jews were killed in concentration camps.The most terrifying of these is the Auschwitz concentration camp. The three gas chambers can poison 6,000 people a day. The Germans are very efficient in killing people. Unlike the Nanjing Massacre in Japan, which was hacked with a knife, it was an agricultural society. way of killing.German murder is industrialized and assembly line.As soon as the Jews walked into the concentration camp, they saw a line of big words engraved on the iron gate of the concentration camp-work makes people happy.After entering, they all regarded themselves as going to work.Immediately, women and children, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled were singled out and sent directly to the gas chambers.Young and middle-aged men stay here. If you are a skilled craftsman, such as making jewelry or sewing leather, your chances of survival are relatively high.Send the Jews to the gas chambers, and lie to them that they are taking a bath, 2,000 people are in one room, how to wash?When you take off your clothes, the Germans will tell you to hang your coat here, your coat there, your shirt here, your shoes here, and your socks there.The Germans took it back for disinfection, distributed it to German residents for use, sorted it and shipped it away directly.Then the Jews entered the gas chamber, and when the faucet was turned on, what came out was poison gas instead of water.About 20 minutes later, 2,000 people in a house were all poisoned to death. The blower blows away the poisonous gas, and the iron door is opened.The guards of the concentration camp and the scum among the Jews used iron hooks to hook the corpses out one by one.Those who have gold teeth in their mouths are pulled out and rings are worn, and those with tattoos are peeled off, and the skin can be made into gloves, lampshades, and leather bags.The next workshop was responsible for melting human fat and making soap for use by the Germans.In the next workshop, the rest of the body was burned.The next workshop is responsible for spreading the ashes in the fields to plant crops, absolutely no waste.There is also a workshop responsible for shaving people's hair and weaving carpets.When the Soviet Red Army entered the Auschwitz concentration camp, there were 7 tons of hair and more than 2 million pairs of shoes that were too late to transport.So, if you worship such a regime and the leaders of such a regime, the distance between you and people is about 5000 trillion times the distance from the earth to the sun. The characteristics of Japan are different from those of Germany.Germany is a political party that comes from the people, and through legal elections, it gains power from the bottom up.Japan's fascist dictatorship is a bureaucracy - the military took power from top to bottom through an illegal coup.Because no one elects them if there are elections, how can anyone elect soldiers to govern?Japan also does not need a civilian leader like Hitler, there is a ready-made thing there - the emperor.The Japanese believe that the emperor is the descendant of Amaterasu and is supreme. It is impossible for anyone to challenge his authority, so there is no need for someone like Hitler. If the emperor wants to establish a dictatorship, it will be a feudal autocratic monarchy, which is similar to a fascist dictatorship.The emperor can directly establish a feudal dictatorship, who will establish it? In 1889, the Emperor of Japan promulgated the "Constitution of the Empire of Japan", marking the establishment of a constitutional monarchy in Japan.But its constitutional monarchy is a typical dualist constitutional monarchy. The Japanese cabinet obeys the emperor, the prime minister is appointed by the emperor, not elected by the Diet, and the ministers are accountable to the Emperor, not to the Diet.In addition to leading the cabinet, the emperor also leads the army.The highest command organization of the army is called the base camp. This is not a formal organization, but was established during wartime. For example, the base camp was set up during the Sino-Japanese War;There are two institutions in the base camp, one is the army's staff headquarters, and the other is the navy's military command.The Japanese Army and Navy are separated, and its Army Staff Headquarters and Navy Command Headquarters are equivalent to our General Staff Headquarters.In addition, the Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy, which belong to the cabinet, are equivalent to China's Ministry of National Defense.One is a military and political agency, and the other is a military command agency.The Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy, which belong to the cabinet, and the Army Staff Headquarters and the Navy Command, which belong to the base camp, are collectively called the Military Department. Japan's political system has a very special feature. In all democratic countries, the Minister of Defense must be a civilian official. The most basic principle is that civilian officials rule the army.Today, the defense ministers of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany all wear suits, not military uniforms. Soldiers are absolutely not allowed to interfere in politics.I am a four-star general. I want to run for governor. You can’t even be elected as village chief. You have to retire, take off your military uniform and return to civilian status before you can run for national office.Therefore, the rights of soldiers in democracies are limited.However, Japan is different. Japan's Minister of Army and Navy must be served by an active military attache, and military generals hold military power.Where is the danger of generals in power?If a general wants to make meritorious service, he must fight.He is useless if he does not fight, but he can only drink and run a red light, but nothing else can tell him what he is capable of.So, he wants to fight, won't my ability be revealed once the war is fought?But "one general succeeds and all bones die", your ability has been revealed, you will not die anyway, you don't think about whether this battle should be fought, and you gamble with the fate of the country.Therefore, this is the reason why countries impose restrictions on generals. Soldiers cannot interfere in politics, whether to fight or not is the politician's business, how to fight is your business.If politicians say you can't fight, you can't fight.Japan is good. Politicians—the ministers of the army and navy are generals, and the ministers of the army and navy also have the right to report to the emperor.In doing so, the cabinet was dissolved.When the Minister of Army and Navy clashed with the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the cabinet had to be dissolved and a new cabinet was formed.The candidate for the Minister of Army and Navy must be a soldier, so he must be recommended by the military department.If the military department is dissatisfied with the new cabinet and refuses to recommend candidates for the army and navy ministers, the result will be that the new cabinet will be aborted and stillborn, and you will not be able to form a cabinet.You can't have a Minister of Defense in this country, can you?You can live without the Director of the Family Planning Commission, but you cannot live without the Minister of National Defense.In the end, it became a practice that the cabinet is decided by the military department, and whoever the military asks to be the prime minister can become the prime minister. As long as he disagrees, you, the prime minister, will not be able to be the prime minister.Therefore, the politics of the whole country went astray. In the end, Japan simply had a soldier as its prime minister. During the "World War II", all the prime ministers were active-duty soldiers. Of the 12 Nazi Class A war criminals hanged by the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal, only two were soldiers, and the rest were civilians.Ordinary soldiers will not be tried as war criminals, because soldiers only obey orders, as long as they do not commit crimes of killing prisoners of war or abusing civilians, they will not be liable for crimes against humanity or war crimes, while politicians are tried as war criminals.10 of the war criminals executed in Germany were civil servants, and 6 of the 7 Japanese Class-A war criminals hanged by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East were military generals, because military generals held power directly.If a military general is going to participate in the election, it is impossible to be elected, so what should we do?Only an illegal coup. In Japanese culture, there is a very deformed thing called Xia Ke Shang.The social hierarchy in Japan is very strict. The two of us work in this company. I am a senior. If you don’t use honorifics, I will give you a big mouth.Why are the Japanese soldiers famous for their cruelty, and to pass on oppression?The class monitor hit me yesterday, what should I do?I can only kill captives and ordinary people. The superiors suppress the subordinates, and the subordinates can only bully the weak.However, if the superior bullies me to the point of death, I can get up and kill him.Of course, I would kill myself too.Such behavior was seen as consistent with the spirit of Bushido. A group of Japanese fascist young military officers said that in order to save the country, we should kill all the cabinet ministers, and the emperor directly leads the military headquarters and follows the fascist road.Thus, in the 1930s, Japanese fascist young military officers planned three assassinations, all of which succeeded.Three Japanese prime ministers were killed one after another.At first, Prime Minister Takashi Hara was killed. This is the first prime minister to be assassinated since the establishment of the cabinet system in 1885.Then Yukio Hamaguchi was assassinated and died a few months later.Two years later, Inuyang Yi was assassinated again. He was Sun Yat-sen's buddy.After killing the prime minister, the punishment for all officers and soldiers involved in the assassination is to do 100 push-ups, exercise well, and continue to kill next time.You said that if you kill an ordinary person, you must be sentenced to death. The prime minister was killed, so you can do some push-ups and finish.In the midsummer season, they were fully armed and doing push-ups on the playground. As soon as the fascist officers and soldiers went out, their comrades, one helped him carry the gun, the other helped him carry the water bottle, and the other helped him carry the helmet, and finally lifted them up and paraded in the barracks , Everyone applaud them.At this time, the emperor was furious, and you kept saying, this one is loyal to me, that one is loyal to me, the prime minister I appointed, you kill as soon as you say, do you still have the emperor in your eyes?So the trial of these people was demanded, and the court opened. At that time, eleven young military officers were tried. Before the trial, a petition signed by 350,000 people in blood was sent to the court. The petition was initiated and signed by people from all over Japan who sympathized with the murderer, asking the court for leniency.In addition, 11 fascist right-wing youths cut off their little fingers and sent them to the judge. If they are sentenced to death, we are willing to die for them. They are for the good of the country.After the judge saw a bottle of fingers, he announced his resignation. I sentenced them to death, and my fingers had to be cut off.No one dared to take over the case, and finally let it go.With these connivances, this group of red-eyed officers and soldiers played more and more, and successively launched the "September? 18th Incident" and "September? 26th Mutiny". In the "Two? Two Sixth Mutiny" in 1936, more than 1,000 fascist right-wing officers and soldiers headed by Lieutenant Xiangtian Qingzhen attacked the official residences of the Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Finance Minister, Army Minister, Army Education Director, etc., and occupied the Tokyo Police Department. Office.The captain is the captain of our army. The military ranks in Japan are general, assistant, and lieutenant. Each rank is divided into major, middle, and junior.The Chancellor of the Exchequer was killed on the spot.The emperor's entourage was shot six times in the body. I don't know whether it was because the rebels were too accurate with marksmanship or the Japanese pistols were too good. None of the shots hit the vitals, but they were all in the arms and legs.The rebel officer saw that the chief attendant was still alive, lying on the ground gasping for breath, so he drew his sword and tried to cut off his head.Japanese pistols are very "advanced". When committing suicide, the trigger can't be pulled, and it often jams. It can be called the pistol with the highest failure rate in the world.That's why the Japanese officers all carried swords that were useless except for stumbling themselves.As soon as the rebel officer drew his sword, the chief attendant's wife threw herself on the old man, saying that he was going to die soon, so you should leave him a whole body.The officer may have heard that it was the case, and it was impossible to survive six shots.Put the knife in the sheath, I'm sorry, I made your house dirty, turned around and left.After the Japanese robbers killed their masters, they always told their servants, sorry to cause you trouble.Very "polite" people.The wife immediately sent the chief attendant to the hospital, and the chief attendant survived miraculously.This person is the last prime minister of Japan during World War II, Suzuki Kantaro. The prime minister at the time, Keisuke Okada, survived by hiding in the bathroom, but the prime minister's secretary and the prime minister's brother-in-law were mistaken for the prime minister and killed.Under the bayonet of the rebels, the Minister of War bowed his head and obeyed his orders, and promised to tell the Emperor the conditions of the rebels.When speaking to the Emperor, the Minister of War referred to these rebels as rebels.The emperor was furious, and said that if you don't suppress it, I will personally lead the Guards Division to fight for it.Only then did the Secretary of State for War declare these men to be rebels.There is no need to fight, just raise a few balloons, and hang a big slogan under the balloons, His Majesty the Emperor announced that you are rebels.When these soldiers saw that the emperor said that we were rebels, they handed over their weapons and returned to the camp.More than a dozen military officers who participated in the coup d'état shouted long live in the square in front of the palace, huddled together, and committed suicide by pulling a grenade.Why did the United States keep the Emperor of Japan after the war?In Japan, the emperor is equivalent to the leader. If you kill him, all Japanese will fight with you.Look at this mutiny, the officers and soldiers raised a balloon, the emperor said that you were rebels, and the soldiers were calmed down without bloodshed. Although the "Two? Two Sixth Mutiny" was unsuccessful, the Japanese understood that the gang in the military should not be offended, and they could kill whoever they wanted.After the mutiny, Hirota Hiroshi formed a cabinet. This man was the only civilian hanged by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, and the Japanese fascist dictatorship was established. In this way, both Germany and Japan established a fascist dictatorship, and Soviet Russia established a highly centralized political and economic system. These three countries have embarked on a completely different path from the Anglo-American law. So, what are the reasons why they have embarked on a development path different from that of Anglo-American law?Politically speaking, historical traditions are different.The United States, Britain, and France are bottom-up revolutions, while Germany, Japan, and Russia are top-down reforms.Therefore, capitalism in the former has developed relatively thoroughly, while that in the latter has not.Both the United Kingdom, the United States and France have established typical democratic politics-parliamentary democracy, and everyone sits together to discuss anything.Germany, Japan, and Russia have a tradition of autocratic monarchy, worshiping strongmen, and their favorite thing to do is to shout long live, and it will be uncomfortable not to shout long live. Another is that the level of economic development is different. The capitalist economy in the United States is highly developed and has a strong self-regulation ability.Needless to say, Japan is backward among capitalist countries and cannot be compared with today's Japan.In Asia it is the number one, but in the entire capitalist world, it is not ranked high.Although the German economy is not backward, it relies heavily on British and American investment, so its self-regulation ability is poor. There is also the influence of the Versailles-Washington system.Anglo-American law is the beneficiary of the system, so it tries to maintain the system.Germany and Japan are restricted in the system and want to break the system.Based on these three points, Germany and Japan embarked on a development path different from that of the United States, Britain and France in the 1930s. 另外,领导者的个人素质不同,也决定了他们采取的措施是不一样的。罗斯福为了推行《国家工业复兴法》,跟国会和最高法院都闹掰了。当时美国人说,如果总统告诉我们,国会应该一把火烧了,我们会举双手赞成,这把火怎么还烧不起来?如果罗斯福当时要建立法西斯专政,在美国是具备某些条件的。但罗斯福不是那种人,他出身富贵家庭,受过良好的教育,治国最起码的一点,就是应该对社会充满爱心。老挑动群众斗群众,那这个人不配做一个国家的领导者。 德国、日本的法西斯专政建立后,开始对外侵略扩张。当时西方大国奉行绥靖政策,维护既得利益。尤其英法两国,它们是“凡尔赛—华盛顿体系”的受益者,不愿意改变这个体系,怕德日铤而走险。但它们要维护既得利益,就要牺牲弱小民族,并把祸水引向苏联。当然,苏联也不是玩意儿,也希望祸水西引。在英法和苏联眼里,德国都是跟对方一伙的。苏联认为德国跟英法一样,都属于资本主义国家,最好你们资本主义国家拼个你死我活。在英法眼里,德国跟苏联一样,属于法西斯国家,最好你们俩法西斯国家拼个你死我活。
