Chapter 1223: A Far-Reaching Strategy?
"Young Master, even though Flying Dragon has achieved so much as a gang, we still can't make Ryukyu independent. Is there any point in doing this?" Han Bin asked curiously.
"Hehe, you know, I was actually curious about this before too, but my old man once told me something that explained it, and now it seems that it might really be true!" Wei Shang said with a smile.
"Oh? What did the boss say?" Han Bin sat up straight and asked with a face full of curiosity.
“As we all know, during World War II, the U.S. initially used an island-by-island tactic in the Pacific theater, meaning that every island had to be captured. However, after a period of offensive, the U.S. discovered something that gave them a headache!” Wei Shang said.
"I think it was because the casualties were too great? I think we talked about that in middle school history class," Han Bin said.
“Yes, even if we attack a small island of less than ten square kilometers, the U.S. will suffer at least several thousand casualties. The damage that the Japanese did to the U.S. back then was still very great. So that Pipe Emperor came up with an island-hopping tactic, which is to take advantage of the U.S.'s naval and air force advantages to only attack the islands that are strategic strongholds of the Japanese. Other less important islands will be besieged without being attacked. This has made the U.S. taste the sweetness of success, and they have even praised that Pipe Emperor as the world's number one general!” Wei Shang said with a disdainful expression.
Actually, this isn't just Wei Shang's idea. Any Chinese person with a bit of knowledge and military common sense, standing in that pipe-smoking emperor's position, could come up with such a solution. After all, our military knowledge has been deeply ingrained in our bones for over two thousand years.
“Even so, on Okinawa, the most important strategic stronghold of the Japanese, the Japanese still inflicted huge casualties on the United States. It can be said that at least one American soldier fell on every inch of the island! You can imagine the scene!” Wei Shang said with a smile.
"That's really terrifying!" Han Bin thought for a moment. Although Okinawa Island is not large, it is still tens of thousands of square kilometers. How many people would die?
"Furthermore, back then, the Japanese were clamoring about their 'one hundred million die for the emperor' strategy, which scared the U.S. But later, because of the North Korean War, the U.S. had no choice but to support the Japanese as its logistical base, which created a contradiction. The U.S. doesn't want the Japanese to rise again! Especially in recent years, the Japanese have been clamoring that they can buy the entire U.S. by selling Tokyo. Can the U.S. just let the Japanese clamor? So the U.S. think tank came up with a plan! The 'De-Xiong Plan'!" Wei Shang said with a more serious expression.
"The 'De-Xiong Plan'? What's that for?" Han Bin recognized all four characters and understood some of their meaning, but he really didn't know what problems this plan would pose to the Japanese, or what use it would have for them.
"The so-called 'De-Male Plan' is to make the Japanese never again have the idea of 'one hundred million dying for the Emperor'! To eliminate the Japanese's ambition! To put it simply, it's to make the Japanese lose their masculinity! If you don't even have masculinity, how can the Japanese still have the spirit of Bushido?" Wei Shang said.
"You mean the Ugly Country plans to turn all the Japanese men into sissies?" Han Bin asked, somewhat surprised.
"That's right, just like the Kingdom of Finon now! When they're recruiting soldiers, the scene is so spectacular, if you went to see it, you could probably dig a three-bedroom apartment out of your shoes with your toes!" Wei Shang joked.
"You mean, the Ugly Country is promoting masculine beauty in the Japanese homeland, making them develop into effeminate men?" Han Bin wasn't highly educated, but he was very smart, so he immediately understood the meaning behind Wei Shang's words.
"No wonder that for so many years, the Japanese artists and some famous actors, whether in movies or TV series, always look so awkward! It turns out the root of the problem lies in their shoes. It turns out that they all came here to look good, and then they just posed and preened on TV!" Han Bin said with a look of sudden realization.
"After these years of development, the Japanese are now showing signs of becoming neither men nor women! Many men with a sense of masculinity cannot find a way out in mainstream society, so they have no choice but to join grassroots organizations!" Wei Shang said.
"I understand. The boss means to wipe out all these men with any manly spirit! That way, the men in Japanese society will disappear, leaving only some effeminate men! Can we expect such men to take up arms and fight?" Han Bin said with some joy.
“That’s right! So, our main goal isn’t to seize territory, but to kill or maim those capable men! That way, there will be fewer and fewer men with any manly spirit in Japanese society! And women all admire strength! How could they possibly be interested in those effeminate women? And the men we send are all young and vigorous men, what do you think those women will do?” Wei Shang asked with a smile.
"Of course we should find these kids!" Han Bin's eyes were full of envy! If he hadn't been tied up, how could the Ryukyu Islands have fallen into Feilong's hands?
"So, our goal is to crush the Japanese men's masculinity, then enjoy their women, and finally make the entire Japanese society ours. This is my father patching up the US's plan! Regardless of the state of relations between the two countries, we are united on this matter!" Wei Shang said with a smile.
"Oh dear, why didn't I try to seize the opportunity back then? Feilong got his chance! Otherwise, I'd be enjoying the company of Japanese women now, not Feilong, who already has a wife! I've heard that there are quite a few Japanese women in Portland Street, and they're all very gentle, quite different from our local women! It's such a pity!" Han Bin's regretful expression amused Wei Shang.
"Hahaha, Han Bin, you're supposed to be the head of the Tianqiao Society now, how can you be so spineless? You're a head now, what kind of woman can't you have?" Wei Shang said irritably.
"Oh, young master! You're still young, you don't know how good those women are!" Han Bin said to Wei Shang with a wink.
"Forget it, what's the difference? You're overthinking it! But remember to keep today's events a secret! Don't let anyone else know!" the sanitation worker instructed.
"Don't worry! I will keep my mouth shut! I won't tell anyone!" Han Bin patted his chest and assured him.
"That's good. Remember, whatever you do, don't leak out the current situation and the US's plans!" Han Bin was inwardly panicking!
