Furthermore, Kenji Doihara had another very notable characteristic that permeated his entire life: he treated pro-Japanese people with affection but without respect, regarding them as hunters raising dogs.

We treat anti-Japanese people with both affection and respect, and regard them as friends.

This left people with a very sincere impression, leading many Chinese people to be willing to become traitors for him.

For example, there was once a Chinese writer who insulted the Japanese in various ways in the newspapers. Doihara was not only not angry, but also visited him many times to discuss literature, history and culture with him.

Protect the other party from being arrested;

In the end, out of admiration for Kenji Doihara and some other special reasons (such as the Kuomintang government's inhumanity), this man actually became a traitor, which is shocking.

Look at the Japanese Kenji Doihara, and then look at those Chinese warlords who fought over their own selfish interests and a few taels of silver. It is really shameful.

(However, Doihara still uses the old-fashioned Chinese methods of using both kindness and force, dividing and buying people's hearts, and taking sides, so he can't solve the ethnic and cultural differences between the two countries.

Geopolitical and political conflicts)

Therefore, it is completely understandable that Kenji Doihara would do something like "ruining his family to help the country", and that he would have a great liking for the equally "big-minded" Fujiwara Kanezane and even be willing to directly serve him.

not to mention...

"First, he's not a member of the Saber Group, and second, he's not favored by Hirohito. It would be a shame to not use such a good tool."

Again, if you can wake up, then continue to use it. If you insist on your own opinion, then kill it and eat the meat after use! Anyway, Mr. Ma said that this was a good deed done by the Japanese Fujiwara Kanezane, what does it have to do with him, Wu Jiu?

"I understand... Oh, Commander, the results of the alchemist's interrogation are out... Here's the compiled confession..." "Let me see... Oh? It was actually Jin Jiu who ordered it?"

"Yes, Commander."

While straightening Fujiwara Kanezane's shirt collar, the agent reported the results of the alchemist's interrogation:

...After you announced your itinerary in the newspaper, Jin Gu became interested and, with the help of the Kuomintang, used the radio to contact the Korean resistance forces..."

"But before the action was launched, these chosen individuals suddenly became terrified and didn't want to commit suicide bombings like Yoon Bong-gil, so they hid the bombs in the students' bouquets..." "Wait, how is this related to that bald guy?"

"Actually, it was Chen Guofu. He felt that Jin Jiu was useful, so he provided him with a lot of help. So strictly speaking, he also had a part in this assassination..." "Oh. Oh..."

Fujiwara Kanezane remained silent on this, and instead kneaded the agent's breasts through her clothes, asking, "Did you kill those guys?"

"Don't worry, the alchemist is an expert in this area. She won't leave even a scratch on those three humans. I guarantee they'll obediently go to Jiaxing to deliver the letter to Jin Jiu."

Despite being sexually harassed at work, the agent continued to report with a calm demeanor until she noticed her commander staring at her chest. She then asked in confusion, "Commander?"

"Ah? Ah! What?" "That..."

The agent thought Mark was interested, so he lowered his collar slightly, revealing his round, white breasts: "Commander, if you want..."

"Agent, I suddenly remembered something." "...What?"

"You and the alchemists have never worn bras, right?"

"...Yes, because the humanoid breasts are made of a special material and won't easily deform or sag, so there's no need for something like that." "But, I remember Wanrong was still wearing a bellyband the last time I saw her? Little Mouse didn't wear anything at all?"

"I see. You mean to ask me to plan some bra... no, women's products factory?"

"Who would complain about having too much money? Women's money is the easiest to make. At that time, bringing in more people will also be beneficial to our plan." "Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

"Well, okay! Let's go! Let's go to the next activity!" "Yes."

The agent rolled up his collar and hid his spring light, sighing secretly.

"..."

Fujiwara Kanezane's subsequent itinerary was not interrupted at all, and after completing a series of performances, he arrived in Shenyang smoothly. By this time, it was already the end of June.

In other words, it was time for the Second and Fourth Divisions to switch positions. "Kaneshi, nice to see you again..."

Prince Tokugawa Tokugawa, the commander of the Second Division, had a bitter expression on his face. His initial enthusiasm had vanished, and even his hair had turned a lot grayer. Fujiwara Kanezane knew why he had become like this. With a smirk on his face and a sigh on his face, he patted his shoulder and said comfortingly:

"Uncle, this isn't your fault. It's just that the enemy is too cunning..."

"what you do not know."

Because there were outsiders present, Minoruhiko didn't complain much to Fujiwara Kanezane. After a brief chat, he calmly began to hand over his duties to the 4th Division Commander, Terauchi Hisaichi. Actually, there wasn't much to hand over.

At Fujiwara no Kanezane's suggestion (actually a cloud map proposal by his agent), the 4th Division had already designated the garrison locations for each regiment, battalion, and company in advance, and only needed to rotate positions with the original garrison units.

And what about the Second Division?

Since the founding of Manchukuo, and especially after receiving the news that they were about to be replaced, their morale had dropped to the point of doing almost nothing, not even bothering to deal with the "bandits" roaming around outside the camp and showing off their power. In short, they were just playing rotten.

When the new division commander Prince Tokugawa Norihiko took office and started an investigation and purge together with Muto Nobuyoshi, this group of people added "resistance to superiors" on top of their bad behavior, and the main theme was "undercurrents surging beneath the calm."

Therefore, it is not surprising that when they saw the high morale of the 4th Division, they missed "the vigor and vitality when His Majesty Fujiwara was in charge of Manchuria, and everything was flourishing." "Your Majesty!"

"Your Highness!" "Your Highness!"

While the senior officers were having their routine conversation, Fujiwara no Kanezane, a junior officer (he was only a lieutenant colonel after all), was also chatting happily with the junior officers of the 2nd Division and the Independent Garrison. To be more precise, one junior officer after another was venting to him about all the troubles they had encountered in the Northeast and expressing their loyalty.

You have to remember that these were the officers who were qualified to greet him, and they all had so many complaints. One can imagine how angry the officers and soldiers who were not qualified to greet him and were still stationed in various places were. Before being reorganized, the Second Division was basically useless.

"Alright, alright, everyone."

Fujiwara no Kanezane calmed down the chattering crowd with a gentle gesture, saying,

"Everyone, I know you've been through a lot recently. You've been so dedicated to your duties, yet you've been treated like this..."

Some officers with more emotional feelings immediately had tears in their eyes.

Yes, we are all so loyal to the Empire, so devoted to our duties, and yet we are met with such suspicion!

During the last meeting, Prince Tokugawa Tokugawa was so furious about the "Japanese-style stealth confrontation" that he even blurted out his thoughts: "Don't think I don't know what you're doing secretly! Someone has infiltrated our team..."

Although he realized the problem and stopped talking in time, the phrase "infiltrated" still completely chilled the hearts of the officers under the Second Division. No matter what "infiltrated", it was definitely not a good word.

As a result, these lieutenant colonel and major officers increasingly led their soldiers to confront the newly assigned colonel and major general officers. To this day, the relationship between the two sides is not to say that they are alienated, but at least they regard each other as enemies.

Fortunately!

Fujiwara-dono is coming!

When His Majesty comes, Manchuria will be at peace! When His Majesty comes, there will be a clear sky!

It’s a pity that we are no longer here at such a good time.

The officers sighed and regretted that they were serving in the Second Division instead of the Fourth Division.

Though filled with regret, everyone knew that discussing transfers at this point was sheer nonsense, so no one made such a presumptuous request. Seizing the final moment, they chatted happily with Prince Hachiman-gu Kanezane, then dispersed as soon as Prince Higashikuni and the others arrived. With their return to Japan imminent, they made no attempt to conceal the disparity in their attitudes toward the two princes and their complete estrangement.

"Kaneshi, what are you guys talking about?"

"I appeased them so they wouldn't cause any more trouble for you on the way back home..." Fujiwara Kanezane briefly skipped over the topic.

"Uncle, have you completed the handover?"

"The time is short anyway, so there's nothing much to hand over. But you, Kaneshiro, being the bandit-suppression commander-in-chief isn't easy..." "Oh?"

Fujiwara Kanezane pretended to be unaware and frowned:

"What do you mean? The situation has gotten worse?" "You know Ma Zhanshan, right?"

"I know, that's the one..."

"It was only after he rebelled that we found out that this bastard had actually swindled so many weapons and equipment from us... That idiot Doihara..." Minoruhiko complained bitterly and said a bunch of bad things that were bound to be known by Doihara Kenji, then warned:

"I've helped you equip your newly established 386th Brigade, but you have to be careful. Beware of them turning against you... The Chinese can't be trusted!" "Don't worry, Uncle. I have Commander Wang's wife and children in my care. There will be no problems..."

"Ah... I hope so... I wish you good luck in martial arts..."

Minoruhiko sighed deeply and said nothing more. After discussing some other matters, he left with the other members of the Second Division and returned to Japan by ship or plane. At this point, Commander-in-Chief Fujiwara officially entered Northeast China with the Fourth Division!

Good days are coming!

224 Control of the Black Dragon Society, King Kanezane takes the throne

Logically, the first thing that Fujiwara no Kanezane should have done after taking office as the "Manchurian Bandit Suppression Commander-in-Chief", besides paying a visit to his superiors, was to summon his direct subordinates, such as Wang Yong, the commander of the 386th Brigade; but he failed.

the reason is simple.

A damned old bastard had come to the Northeast on a ship carrying troops, and he had even come to visit with men and knives. "His Highness Kanezane."

"Mr. Toyama..."

That's right, the person who came was none other than Toyama Mitsuru, the founder of the Genyosha/Black Dragon Society, the old man who had always wanted to "transform Manchuria into the Japanese mainland" and had been tirelessly promoting Fujiwara no Kanezane's reputation in recent months. Although not detailed in the previous article, due to this guy's crazy promotion, Fujiwara no Kanezane's superficial prestige in the Black Dragon Society is not much worse than that of the current actual helmsman Uchida Ryohei.

"Mr. Touyama, why did you suddenly come to the Northeast?"

"Your Highness, I believe you know the reason. There is no need to preserve the last bit of dignity for an old man like me."

Touyama Mitsuru gave a bitter laugh, rolled up his trouser legs, knelt deeply, and pressed his head to the ground. "Your Highness, on behalf of the Black Dragon Society and the Touyama family, I sincerely apologize to you."

"..."

Yes, the reason why this guy came to Northeast China is actually very simple:

Damn it... oh no... it was the army and navy bosses behind the scenes who forced them to do that.

As mentioned earlier, the assassination attempt by the navy targeted Prince Hachiman-no-miya, sparking outrage not only for Hirohito but also for the entire imperial family and aristocracy.

Originally, Fujiwara no Kanezane was planning to "forgive" them, but with the joint "fueling" of Saionji Kimmochi and the army, he gave the answer that "a 'murderer' must be handed over"; no one actually cared who the unlucky guy was who took the blame, but there had to be such a person.

Obviously, because the assassin was Fujiwara no Kanezane, the murderer couldn't be too low-ranking, at least he had to be of a certain status, otherwise the imperial family wouldn't be able to appease them. Thus, Toyama Mitsuru was pushed out.

Who asked you to lend your villa to that group of naval officers? Your son Toyama Hideyama personally participated in the attack on the Constitutional Rights Association headquarters and was even caught? So, you are the only one who can bear the blame.

It just so happened that His Majesty Hirohito and Saionji Kimmochi had been dissatisfied with Toyama Mitsuru and the Black Dragon Society for a long time, so a consensus was quickly reached. (See Chapter 19)

Let me emphasize again, no matter how much the Japanese people and some historical inventors boast about Toyama Mitsuru (the emperor of the Japanese underworld), he is always just a gangster;

What the hell is the "Emperor of the Underworld"? The real power holders can kill him if they want!

Therefore, under pressure from the imperial family, the nobility, the army, the navy, and the constitutionalists, Toyama Mitsuru had no choice but to travel to Tohoku to personally apologize to Fujiwara no Kanezane, lest his entire family be annihilated. Prince Kanezane sat firmly on the throne, looking at Toyama Mitsuru kneeling on the ground with his seppuku blade placed beside him, his eyes indifferent:

"Master Toushan, since I'm still willing to call you Master, it means I have no intention of pursuing this matter further and will not implicate the Black Dragon Society or your family. However, this is no reason for you to come and force me."

Touyama Mitsuru's body trembled, and he crouched even lower. "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Your Highness."

"So don't play these little tricks in front of me." "Yes, Your Highness."

"Get up! Let's talk about the Black Dragon Society."

Knowing he was doomed but still feeling relieved, Toyama Mitsuru cautiously climbed to his feet and knelt upright to listen to Prince Kanezane's words. However, the other party's first words shocked him: "I heard that your Black Dragon Society has recently been collaborating with an organization called the 'New Japan National Alliance'?"

"Ah this..."

After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government introduced the provision of "freedom of religion within the legal scope", which only allowed some mainstream religions to obtain full legitimacy, and all other religions were restricted; however, this did not prevent the crazy development of cults of all sizes in Japan at all.

Let's not talk about secretly preaching. Even if I am forced into a corner, I can just register my sect under legal organizations such as Inari-gō, Ontake-kō, and Izumo Taisha Shrine, and keep changing the name of the group! "Omoto-kō" is such a cult organization.

Its establishment process and development history are omitted here. In short, this evil cult that believes in "Kunijo Dairitsu-kami" is in deep conflict with Japan's State Shintoism, which reveres "Amaterasu Omikami" and regards the emperor as a living god. Therefore, around 1921, this evil cult was wiped out by the Japanese government, and its leader Deguchi Ohinsaburo was sentenced to five years in prison.

(Actually, it’s not that simple. There are many complex struggles inside. However, since this is just a novel and not the main point, I won’t go into details.)

However, due to the successive events of the Taisho Emperor's death and the Showa Panic, Japan's domestic political, economic and social contradictions became prominent, and the religion became active again.

They joined forces with a group of politicians calling themselves "Emperor Socialists" (a name they rarely use) to form the New Japan National Alliance, which then joined forces with the Black Dragon Society. Why did Fujiwara no Kanezane mention this religion?

Because this religion is so active and raises various political demands, it has attracted the attention of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Special High Technology Bureau, thus providing a lot of cover for his low-key "Almighty Church". What a good person!

But Toyama, who had just come into contact with the New Japan Alliance, didn't think so. He had no idea why someone had known about what had just happened, and asked in horror:

"Your Highness, how are you..."

"Don't worry about how I know this, as long as my intelligence is correct." "...Yes...Yes, Your Highness."

"Haha, Your Excellency Touyama, I remember you said before that you would hand over the Black Dragon Society to me. Is this promise still valid?" "Of course it is valid! But Your Highness, didn't you say..."

"I just don't want to see the Black Dragon Society suffer the same fate as the Omoto Cult." "Failure? What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"It's obvious what it means, that you're going to be in big trouble." This was a half-truth.

He said it was a lie because Fujiwara no Kanezane didn't care whether the Black Dragon Society was in trouble or not, and he even hoped that it would suffer a disaster; he said it was the truth because if the Black Dragon Society continued to mix with this "Omoto Sect" and even deepened its ties, it would really be in trouble.

Historically, the Omoto sect, in partnership with the Black Dragon Society, established the "Showa Holy Society." Through various connections, they recruited a group of high-ranking officials, nobles, and military officers, claiming to have developed millions of members. They then formally put forward their own political demands, including but not limited to:

Repeal the Washington Naval Treaty, establish an imperial cabinet, completely overthrow the existing system, purge all chaebol landlords, provide famine relief in Northeast China...

Does it look familiar?

That’s right, it’s exactly the same as what the guys in the "226 Mutiny" proposed.

Therefore, how Hirohito treated the group of "Imperial Way" soldiers was the same as how he treated this group of "religious elements".

In December 1935, the Ministry of Internal Affairs mobilized police to raid the holy sites of "Omoto-kyo" and began a large-scale crackdown on "Showa Shinto-kai" and "Omoto-kyo" across the country;

On February 25, 137, Chief Karasawa arrived in Kyoto Prefecture to direct the suppression, declaring that "Omoto-kyo is a heretical cult that is absolutely incompatible with the state religion and cannot be tolerated, and must be completely wiped out from the face of the earth." Then, the "226" incident broke out...
