Before he died, the chairman was relieved of Japan, knocking on the head of the bed three times and holding out three fingers, and the secretary understood the meaning.
Chairman, are you referring to the Miki thing? ”
** smiled and nodded. So, who is the Miki mentioned in Zhang Yufeng's mouth? Why did *** miss this person before he died?
His three hobbies*** He has three major hobbies in his life, which are food, reading, and swimming. When it comes to food, always lead by example, restrain your desires, and be able to cut back even in difficult times.
Swimming is also one of his favorite activities, and even in his seventies, he is still passionate about the sport. However, due to his advanced age, his physical condition is getting worse and worse, and the time for each swim is greatly reduced.
Therefore, only the hobby of reading can be maintained and greatly satisfied from it.
**Since his youth, he has been obsessed with reading, and he never left his hand when he joined the rebel army. During the years of the Revolutionary War, even when the situation was tense, he insisted on taking time out of his day to read, which is why he was able to write so many poems.
Unfortunately, by the seventies of the twentieth century, he suffered from senile cataracts, which seriously affected his daily life and his favorite reading. Even so, he still insists on reading with his glasses every day, but at a much slower pace than before.
In July 1975, under the care of ***, ** underwent cataract surgery, which was very successful, and his vision recovered a lot the next day.
Despite the need for adequate rest after surgery, *** couldn't suppress his thirst for knowledge. On the day of the operation, he asked ** to take off the gauze, pick up the book and start reading.
Although his strength had not yet fully recovered and he needed staff to help him carry his books, he continued to read. Doctors expressed concern about his physical condition and repeatedly advised him not to overuse his eyes, but *** insisted: "Reading is my only hobby and I can't give it up." ”
In the following days, he not only reread classic books such as "The Complete Works of Lu Xun", but also studied "Twenty-four History" in detail. He deeply felt that Lu Xun was a first-class saint in China and always cared about national affairs.
However, his condition deteriorated again in 1976.
In early September 1976, despite spending most of his time in a coma in his hospital bed, whenever he came to his senses, he insisted that the paramedics keep books and newspapers by his side for limited reading.
His physical condition had deteriorated so badly that he could not read a book in its entirety as before, and could only read and rest for a while. Wu Xujun, the chief of **, recorded these touching moments.
September 5, 1976 (** nursing record) 0:00, read the document for 14 seconds 0 time 50 minutes, read the document for 23 seconds 5:10, read the book for 7 seconds. ”
This great leader who led the Chinese people to a new life could not even finish reading a night of newspapers, which made everyone unable to help but be moved.
Surprisingly, the book that he read for only 7 seconds was not "Twenty-Four History" and "The Complete Works of Lu Xun", which he had always loved, but a book about a Japanese called "Takeo Miki and His Political Opinions".
This book tells the story of an ordinary Japanese parliament, the son of Takeo Miki. Takeo Miki was born in 1907 in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan, to an agricultural family, and he was the only son in the family.
Unlike many Japanese of his time, Takeo Miki was not too influenced by his militaristic upbringing, but instead became a teenager who pursued the truth. In order to achieve his own justice, he has been excellent in his studies since he was a child, and in addition to his grades in drawing and handicraft classes, his grades in other subjects are also among the best in school.
After middle school, Takeo Miki actively organized and participated in various activities, during which he also organized charity sales, and was even suppressed by the school because the charity sales were too popular.
In order to protect his rights and interests, Takeo Miki led the students to strike and successfully forced the principal to apologize, although he was expelled for this, he was not discouraged, but moved forward more courageously. A few years later, he was admitted to the Faculty of Commerce at Meiji University, where he graduated with an outstanding performance and not only became one of the top graduates, but also got the opportunity to study in the United States.
In 1935, after graduating from the United States, he did not immediately return to China, but chose to gain experience in European countries such as Geneva and participated in the Congress of the League of Nations.
Although he could only sit in on the audience at the time, it laid the foundation for his later political career.
After returning to Japan, Takeo Miki did not rush into the workplace, but took the exam again and successfully obtained a law degree. Unlike most politicians, Takeo Miki did not rush into **.
However, it was this fulfilling academic career that made him one of Japan's most prominent politicians. In 1937, after graduating from Meiji University, the then Prime Minister Hayashi Juro forcibly dissolved the Diet for his own selfish desires, which aroused strong anger from all walks of life in Japan, especially Takeo Miki.
This incident prompted him to decide to devote himself to **. In April of the same year, at the age of 30, Takeo Miki was elected to the House of Representatives**, and with his outstanding academic qualifications, he was successfully elected to the Tokushima Prefectural Assembly, becoming the youngest member of the House of Representatives in the history of Japan.
However, three months later, Japan provoked a dispute and launched a full-scale war of aggression against China.
Although Takeo Miki is not as extreme as the far-right, he is one of the promoters of the war of aggression and is still pushing for it. However, with the gradual expansion of the war situation, some far-right elements began to have the idea of provocation against the United States.
Takeo Miki, who had studied abroad for many years, was well aware of the power gap between Japan and the United States, so he tried to prevent the outbreak of war. However, in Japan, where the atmosphere of militarism was strong, his efforts ultimately failed.
Although Takeo Miki has always held opposing views with **, his political career has not been affected in any way. On the contrary, he had the support of many opponents of attacking the United States.
And a series of results such as the Pearl Harbor incident that occurred later also fully proved that Takeo Miki's prediction and judgment were correct.
After the end of World War II, Japan's Minister of Post, Takeo Miki, gained the support of several political parties because of his political prowess, and became a member of the equivalent of a ministerial cadre in Japan. However, the position was only a starting point for Takeo Miki, who at this time established the Miki faction, one of the five major factions of the LDP, and became prime minister in 1945 in an attempt to lead Japan out of chaos.
Although Japan** has undergone several changes of prime ministers, the domestic situation has not fundamentally changed. As a result, more and more Japanese ** are beginning to propose cooperation with the United States.
And after the war, Takeo Miki, as an anti-war activist, had a keen insight into the situation in Japan. Takeo Miki felt that the relationship with China was undoubtedly the most important thing for Japan at that time.
In addition, because of his many years of experience in the United States, he has a deep understanding of the national conditions of the United States, and he understands that if Japan really cooperates with the United States, then Japan may lose its right to development.
Therefore, starting in the sixties, Takeo Miki visited China several times and had two friendly conversations with ***, which laid a solid foundation for the normalization of relations between the two countries.
In addition, Takeo Miki also firmly opposed the revision of the US-Japan security treaty and devoted a lot of energy to the US military's proposal to return Okinawa.
In the next few years, because the Miki faction was the weakest, it was supported by the other four factions, and surprisingly, Miki Takeo became the prime minister of Japan in a way that he did not even expect.
Although he was forced to accept the premiership, his ability was unquestionable, but he also had deep worries about Japan's future. Therefore, as soon as he came to power, he immediately set about promoting the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations.
In December 1974, he entrusted Shiro Minamimura to forward a handwritten letter to *** Shiro Minamimura was a staunch anti-fighter who helped China when Japan launched a war of aggression against China, and became friends with ***.
Shiro Minamimura was chosen because the content of the letter was very important.
During his tenure, Takeo Miki had the hope of signing a treaty of peace and friendship with China as soon as possible. He entrusted Shiro Minamimura to convey his attention, and Shiro Minamimura also understood the importance of this letter, so he went to China as soon as possible and had an in-depth exchange with Liao Chengzhi, the president of the China-Japan Friendship Association at that time.
A week later, Shiro Minamimura flew back to Japan with a reply letter from ***. However, despite the importance of the reply, Takeo Miki did not immediately sign the treaty.
Because relations between China and the Soviet Union were extremely tense at the time, the treaty could have an impact on Japan's relations with the Soviet Union. Despite this, Takeo Miki's attention to this matter has not decreased.
At the same time, in China, the great leader *** is also closely monitoring the progress of Sino-Japanese relations.
Since Takeo Miki expressed his desire to ease Sino-Japanese relations, he has paid special attention to Takeo Miki. Even when he was not in good health, he would find time to read the relevant newspapers, and even pay attention to himself as he lay in a hospital bed on September 6, 1976, unable to move.
Actually, the attention to Takeo Miki is not limited to this. Regrettably, on February 4, 1976, the United States issued a statement accusing former Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka of taking a large amount of bribes in the purchase of aircraft in the United States, which caused heated discussions in Japan and damaged the prestige of Japan.
In this regard, Takeo Miki was well aware of the importance of this matter and immediately began to investigate. In order to thoroughly investigate what happened, he repeatedly asked the United States for assistance, but was refused.
During Takeo Miki's investigation, he was thwarted by his domestic political enemies, leaving him in a desperate situation. As prime minister, he could choose to cover up the truth to maintain the trust of the people, but his sense of justice led him to continue the investigation.
On July 27, with the help of the United States, he clarified the case and arrested former Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka. However, this caused revulsion among all the factions, who declared that Takeo Miki was the former prime minister in order to monopolize power.
Despite the overwhelming evidence, the truth no longer matters. In the election held in the same year, Takeo Miki chose to resign after the public betrayed his family.
As it turned out, Takeo Miki's judgment was accurate, and Kakuei Tanaka also suffered the notoriety of **. Despite this, Takeo Miki's ** career is coming to an end.
Despite his friendly attitude towards China, he is generally on the right. During his administration, he visited the Yasukuni Shrine many times in his "personal capacity", which also laid the groundwork for the tradition of later prime ministers visiting the Yasukuni Shrine.
Therefore, ** has been paying attention to Takeo Miki, which is not only about the issue of Sino-Japanese friendship, but also about his doubts about Takeo Miki, worried about whether his words and deeds are inconsistent. However, with or without Takeo Miki, the Sino-Japanese Friendship Treaty was eventually successfully signed.
