Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter Thirty-One: I'm going to write a book, titled "Wolf and Dog"

into the night.

Male dormitory at the Central Military Academy.

Ye Shaohong was covered with a blanket, one hand behind his head, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Although he had cleared himself of the murder charges and returned to the campus unharmed, the events of the past few days still kept him awake at night.

From the hellish start when they transmigrated to the present day, to their struggle to save themselves.

Ye Shaohong's journey has been arduous, if not fraught with hardship.

Even the slightest oversight or mistake would have resulted in his death. Now that the danger has passed, Ye Shaohong can finally settle down and quietly, undisturbed, contemplate his future.

And... the future of this country.

He didn't know why he had been transported to this strange world.

As a descendant of the dragon and a true descendant of the Chinese people, Ye Shaohong could not stand idly by and watch as 400 million Chinese sons and daughters were plunged into endless suffering.

He felt he should do something.

I don't seek to change the history of this world, but I hope that my Chinese people can suffer fewer casualties and escape from that hell of suffering as soon as possible.

"What should I do?"

"Join the secret service, fight in the shadows, and outwit and outmaneuver Japanese spies?"

"Although in the field of espionage, the true masters are those who infiltrate enemy camps to obtain top-secret intelligence, and at certain times, one person can be worth a million soldiers."

"But that only happened at certain times."

"Moreover, I don't have the confidence to be comparable to these heroes of the world."

"Before I transmigrated to this world, I was just an ordinary college student. My only extraordinary ability was that I had some ideas and approaches to reasoning and solving cases. With my abilities, I was simply unable to turn the current predicament around, let alone be able to fight against a million soldiers."

Ye Shaohong had this much self-awareness.

He wasn't arrogant to the point of being reckless.

It is precisely for this reason that Ye Shaohong wants to find a new fulcrum to help him achieve the aspirations of a Chinese man.

Is there any way for an ordinary person to change an era quietly and without leaving a trace?

"Ha..." He let out a long breath, his furrowed brows revealing a strange glint in his eyes.

A jumble of complex thoughts began to collide fiercely in his mind.

Gradually, he caught a glimpse of a clue.

"Have it!"

"I figured out a way."

"There are three feasible ways for an ordinary person to change the course of the country."

"The first type is to climb up the social ladder by any means necessary. When one's power, status, and wealth reach a terrifying level, one can change the fate of a country single-handedly."

"But this method is too difficult."

"Even if I could completely abandon my moral bottom line and treat everything around me as my pawns, it would still be extremely difficult to climb to that highest position. Moreover, people in this era are not fools; there are many outstanding individuals and heroes. It is simply impossible for me to defy fate with my own strength."

"The second approach is to emulate the Sarajevo incident, look globally, find the key figure among many countries and political figures, kill that key figure as a desperate assassin, and then use the butterfly effect to sweep the world."

"But do such people exist in this world?"

"The president of the US? The emperor of Japan? They have the status and position, but they are not irreplaceable figures!"

"Even if I were to disregard everything and scheme to kill one of them, would the final outcome be as I hope?"

Ye Shaohong shook his head. He knew that although this was a possible solution, and perhaps the only way to change the future with minimal benefits, the unpredictability involved was still too great.

His schemes could even plunge this already troubled nation and its people into an even more desperate situation. Ye Shaohong couldn't afford to gamble.

I don't dare to gamble.

Because he is not so arrogant as to think he can scheme against the whole world and treat everyone in the world as fools to be played with.

"So, in the end, only the third result remains."

"Write a book!"

"That's right, it's about writing a book, a book about the Japanese."

"In this book, I will not only provide a detailed overview of Japanese history and culture, but also discuss the character of the Japanese people, the reasons and truth behind their bloodthirsty brutality beneath their humble exterior."

"Furthermore, it is necessary to recount the details of the Japanese people's eagerness to expand outwards and their intention to invade China."

"Finally, we must use the perspective and knowledge of future generations to anticipate and predict, and formulate countermeasures." "This is the safest approach."

Ye Shaohong had this idea because he suddenly remembered a book he had read in his previous life.

Chrysanthemum and the Sword.

This book was written by Ruth Benedict, a renowned anthropologist from the United States.

It is a very classic social science book.

In her book *The Chrysanthemum and the Sword*, Ruth Benedict provides a detailed account of the general character of the Japanese people.

Opposing contradictions and a culture of shame.

He thoroughly analyzed the Japanese character, which is both combative and humble, both tyrannical and cowardly, both stubborn and adventurous.

In the book, he also outlined in detail the reasons and processes that led to this Japanese character.

He has studied the Japanese to the core. You could even say he has dissected their souls.

The reason Benedict wrote this book is also legendary; he had neither lofty ideals nor extreme pursuits.

Benedict wrote this book because after World War II, the United States took over Japan, and in order to better manage these inherently brutal island nations, he was specifically asked to write this manuscript.

After the Chrysanthemum and the Sword were published, they immediately became essential reading on the desks of high-ranking U.S. officials.

Even the Japanese themselves attach great importance to it, including it in the Modern Education Library, making it a core guide for the upper class in postmodern Japan to play with and manipulate the lower-class commoners.

Of course, if Ye Shaohong were to write this book, he would make certain modifications accordingly.

He wouldn't glorify or praise those short people.

He would only use the most truthful words and the most vicious language to describe all of this. Even the name "Chrysanthemum and Sword" would not be chosen by Ye Shaohong.

In Ye Shaohong's view, those inherently cruel guys don't deserve to be called those three words at all.

There is only one best choice.

Those are wolves and dogs!

Only the words "wolf" and "dog" can most vividly summarize the Japanese character and better reflect the Chinese people's views and evaluations of the Japanese.

"Although I have a general outline of the book 'The Chrysanthemum and the Sword' in my memory, and I am also aware of the changes in the international situation over the next few decades, if I want to write this book, and make it reasonable and convincing to people of the present era to believe and agree with my views, I still need to consult a huge amount of information, interview people who have studied in Japan and returned to Japan, and even force myself to deliberately contact some Japanese businessmen and ronin in China, despite feeling disgusted."

"This will definitely be a difficult and long process, but I don't have much time left."

"It is now February 1937, and there are less than five months left before the outbreak of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the spark that ignited the full-scale war of resistance against Japan."

"I have to finish writing the book 'Wolf and Dog' before that."

"We also need to print it into a book and try to send it to the high-ranking officials in the Nationalist government so that they can read the book, understand the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese, and make countermeasures and arrangements in advance."

“There’s still a long way to go!”
