1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Fujiwara Kanezane walked to the map in the reception room, took out a small stick, pointed to an area northeast of Harbin and an area west of Qiqihar and southwest of Hulunbuir, and said to Kaufman:

"I've given it some preliminary thought, and these two locations are more suitable for you." Kaufman adjusted his glasses, leaned in to take a look, and couldn't help but read out loud:

"Hegang...Hakger..." "Cun, it's here."

There is nothing special about Hegang. This small city became famous in later generations mainly because of its houses that cost tens of thousands or even thousands of yuan each.

However, in the Soviet Union, just northeast of Hegang, there is a piece of land that historically belonged to China and was forcibly taken away by Tsarist Russia through the Treaty of Nyingchi.

On March 28, 1928, in order to dispel the desire of Jews in the country for Crimea, the Soviet Union passed a plan to designate the land of the state as a "Jewish ghetto";

As a result, Jews from the Soviet Union began to happily come here, and in 1932 the settlement was renamed Birobidzhan Workers' New Village, and in 1934 it was renamed the "Jewish Autonomous Oblast";

The Jewish population soon dwindled to 20% of the local population. The Soviet Jewish Laborers' Land System Committee keenly noticed the state's separatist tendencies and began to restrict it and immigrate a large number of Russians.

Later, although the state was still called the "Jewish Autonomous Oblast", the number of Jews remained at around 5% for a long time, and they were no longer able to influence the state's political power. When the Soviet Union collapsed, they were unable to get it to secede from the Russian Federation.

Therefore, if Fujiwara no Kanezane tricked the Jews into establishing a so-called "Jewish state" in a place close to the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, given the Jews' greed, they would definitely attack the "Jewish paradise" across the way;

The Soviets, or the Russians, were also extremely greedy for land. They were already arguing with China over this piece of land. The Jews also got involved. Once the two sides came into conflict, hehehe...

This is the basic situation of the "Jewish Autonomous Oblast." But what about the area west of Qiqihar and south of Hulunbuir, the "Hakger" that Kaufman is talking about?

Well, you may not be familiar with this place, and it is indeed not very famous or has no sense of existence, but you have probably heard of a certain area nearby:

Nomonhan.

That’s right, it was the Nomonhan Battle where the Japanese Kwantung Army was badly beaten by the Soviet Army and almost lost everything. The northward advance policy was aborted and the "Fourth Division Joke" that was not real was spawned.

Like the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, the land in this area has long been a subject of great dispute between the Soviet Union (Russia) and China.

For the Jews who are plotting evil, this is also a piece of Feng Shui treasure land hehehe...

I really want to see what expressions the Soviet army will have when they face a group of Jews.

Anyway, after they are done with their work, it will be my turn to reap the fruits.

As a long-time Harbin resident and China expert, Kaufman was no fool. He immediately saw the dangers of these two locations and subtly raised questions:

"Your Highness, aren't these two locations a little too close to the border?" "Well, I know what you mean. I'll be frank with you. We chose these two places so that you Jews and the Soviets can interfere and block the way for us Japanese."

Although he knew that the Japanese were definitely acting in their own interests, Kaufman never expected that Fujiwara Kanezane would be so direct. He was stunned on the spot and didn't know what to say.

"I need to tell you two things. First, there is no free lunch in this world. No one will provide you with any help for free. Since this is business, let's talk business.

"Second, a country or nation that has not shed blood on the battlefield for its own freedom and survival will never receive any fair and just treatment;"

"That's all I have to say. Think about it yourself."

248 Great Victory in Harbin! Your Highness, May You Win!

Abraham Iosifovich Kaufman left with a complicated expression. Fujiwara Kanezane was not worried that his directness and the huge difficulties he described would scare away the Jews.

The Jews' greed, business acumen and desire for land were destined to overwhelm all their reason.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward;

The coal mines in Hegang and the big lake in Hakegel... humph... I just don't believe they are not tempted.

But speaking of Hegang... Hey, let's go!

Just like last time, Fujiwara no Kanezane only took a certain company of the 8th Regiment of the 4th Division and the officer observation group to "supervise" the 386th Brigade, which had far more people than them, and boarded the train, and set off in a mighty and rapid manner towards Harbin-Hegang.

Many people expressed concern about this - the enemy was said to have over 3 troops, while our side had only 3000, all newly formed Chinese troops, and they were so "aggressive";

But the commander-in-chief Fujiwara Kanezane himself was full of confidence:

"Bandits! We must eliminate them! I have a good plan for eliminating them! Once the heavenly soldiers arrive, these bandits will be crushed to pieces!"

"...order...chicken powder...what does it mean?"

It was the same Nakamura Masakazu who was beaten by the Osaka police, who asked Fujiwara Kanezane in unfamiliar Northeastern dialect.

This was forced.

Ever since he became the "captain of the Osaka Division Chamber of Commerce's Lijia Village purchasing and sales team," someone has been forcing him to speak Chinese as much as possible, or else he'll die!

Despite the "life-threatening situation," he actually learned Chinese quite quickly. "Increase your followers... I'm just going to kill them all!" "I understand... Click now. Do you really want to fight?"

Nakamura Masamichi expressed his concern:

"We are not afraid of... things, but you..."

"Baga, why are you still so crazy!" "Click..."

"It's impossible to fight a war. I will never fight a war in my life. I can only make a living by fooling around. The bandit dens over in Harbin are all talented people and speak well..."

Masakazu Nakamura, who didn't understand the meme, shut up decisively.

Compared to His Highness's familiarity with Chinese, which is almost like his mother tongue, he still has a long way to go in language learning.

You are truly a genius, Your Highness.

However, where did His Highness get the confidence to be able to eliminate more than 3 bandits in one go?

Most people don't understand this, but the agent who is currently in the bandit's lair knows it very well:

"General Ma, General Li, Your Highness is about 100 miles away. Have the troops prepare and enter the designated location. The battle is about to begin."

Coming soon?

How does she know?

This woman has been with us from beginning to end. Who gave her the message and when?

Isn't this just nonsense?

Believe it or not, the senior generals of the Anti-Japanese United Army have learned one thing from their interactions over the past few days:

Never disobey the orders of this woman named "Dai Liren", otherwise your fate will be no better than that of the wild horse whose head was blown off by her punch.

Apart from his stunning appearance, in the eyes of Ma Zhanshan and others, the agent was no different from a human-shaped tigress.

The first desire of human beings is always the desire to survive!

This is not cowardice, this is following your inner desire and making rational judgment based on reality.

Not long after, a messenger came to report that the "386th Brigade of Manchukuo" had arrived somewhere in the suburbs of Harbin and was heading towards Tonghe County.

Calculating the time and the distance, it is almost exactly 100 miles away from Yilan County where the "Northeast National Salvation and Anti-Japanese United Army" is located.

Ma Zhanshan and Li Du looked at each other, secretly surprised, and then hurriedly ordered the troops to enter the designated positions and prepare for battle.

The first cooperation between the two parties... no, the "battle" begins.

As expected, the vanguards of the "386th Brigade of the 129th Independent Division of the Manchurian Empire" and the "Northeastern National Salvation and Anti-Japanese United Army" met near a sandbar somewhere in the Songhua River, and a "clash" soon broke out.

"Ready! Aim! Fire!"

Brigade Commander Wang looked at the shadowy figures across from him, estimated the distance, and ordered the soldiers, who seemed relatively unfamiliar with the weapons in their hands, to fire.

It must be said that the sight of hundreds of cannons firing simultaneously was truly astonishing. Even a veteran warrior like Chen She found it pleasing to the eye.

Oops, no! A few stupid spores adjusted the parameters incorrectly and actually fired their shells at the opposing troops' positions!

Forget it, even though most of it was just a show, it’s unavoidable in war, and there are always incidents of accidental injuries during military training every year;

Besides, didn’t someone say that the troops arranged by the other side at the front were purely landlord armed forces and bandit troops, so it was not unfair for them to die.

Chen Kang comforted her like this, forcing himself to harden his heart and ordered:

"Reload! Fire another round!"

"Yes!"

The officers who received the order looked at each other, avoided others, and discussed in a low voice:

"Let's hold back and fire the duds and disposal rounds first. After all, those on the other side are our compatriots."

"Well, but it seems like Brigade Commander Wang doesn't really want to fight. Otherwise, with our combat effectiveness, the enemy should be defeated with just one charge."

"Hey, this Brigade Commander Wang is a good man, very upright and capable. If we can develop him into a party member..."

"Hush! Have you forgotten the rules? Can such a high-ranking official of the Qing Dynasty be easily won over? Don't take any risks! We are lucky enough to be able to occupy the technical arms and key officers! Wait for orders from the superiors!"

"I know, I know. I was just sighing...never mind, get ready to fire!"

"Um... Ready! Fire!"

Another burst of artillery shells came crashing down.

On a small hill in the rear, Fujiwara Kanezane ate the fruit fed to him by the alchemist, while enjoying his first big-screen film as a director (the one in Lijia Village was at most a small film), and enthusiastically discussed with his Japanese officers:

"... Gentlemen, how do you think the 386th Brigade is doing in battle?"

Several officers took a look at each other, and the leading squadron leader said politely:

"Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking frankly..."

That's right, some smart officers and soldiers of the 4th Division have begun to call themselves "ministers" in front of Fujiwara no Kanezane.

"...I'm afraid this Chinese army you value so highly will still need years of training before it can truly become a force you and Manchukuo can rely on."

"Oh? Why are you being so euphemistic? You mean they're terrible!" "Yes."

Seeing that Fujiwara no Kanezane was still approachable, the officers became bolder and began to speak in unison:

"Given their fighting power, Your Highness, and I'm not boasting, this single squadron of mine is enough to crush them!"

"Yes, Your Highness. In my opinion, the only commendable thing about this army is their good morale. The rest is not worth mentioning!"

"No, no, no, I think their equipment is still good. After all, it was personally selected by His Highness and taken from the Northeast Army camp..."

"What good is the equipment if the people are not good?"

There was a burst of chattering, and everyone's face was filled with contempt and disdain.

However, unlike the contempt for the Chinese by Japanese elsewhere, the Osaka Division's contempt was purely based on a lack of recognition of the 386th Brigade's strength, rather than the so-called "Japanese superiority theory."

At least, the Japanese officers who had come into contact with the soldiers of the 386th Brigade were more inclined to recognize their hard-working qualities and that of Brigade Commander Wang himself.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being so abrupt, but I'm afraid it would be difficult for the 386th Brigade to defeat the enemy bandits with just artillery..."

“Ah, you may be right...but...it seems that we have been defeated..." “Your Highness, are you...hmm?

Following Fujiwara Kanezane's finger, the squadron leader picked up the telescope in disbelief and looked through it. Sure enough, he saw a large number of "Northeast National Salvation and Anti-Japanese United Army" abandoning their weapons and fleeing in all directions.

What the hell?

Isn't it just a few rounds of artillery fire?!

We've only been firing a few rounds, and the battle for the position hasn't even begun yet. Why are you running away?! Are you that weak?!

If you are so weak, how can you resist Japan and save your country?

Making trouble!

Uh, maybe it's just because they're the vanguard?

Anyway, this is too crispy, right?

I thought the 386th Brigade was a bunch of noobs, but they're actually experts? Wait, that's a bit strange...

The squadron leader's face was filled with confusion and confusion, but Fujiwara Kanezane gave the order without a care in the world:

"Order! The 386th Brigade pushes forward! Pursue the remaining enemies in an orderly manner!" "Your Highness, beware of traps."

“Don’t worry! Absolutely not!” “C Hai!”

Holy crap, do Ma Zhanshan and Li Du know how to act? I told you to fake a defeat, but I didn't tell you to lose so quickly! Fortunately, I have a high prestige, otherwise this drama wouldn't be able to go on today! You have the same last name as me, Ma, but why are you so stupid in doing things?

How could Ma know that the man opposite him was also livid. Damn it, even though they weren't the main force and were prepared for a show, you still have six or seven thousand men!

After being bombarded with artillery, they were actually routed without even any casualties. What a fucking shame!

It turns out that we can't recruit local militias and bandits! They are really not reliable at all!

Under the agent's half-smile, Ma Zhanshan angrily shouted to the messenger:

"Pass my order! All troops, prepare to engage the enemy! Each man fire ten rounds into the air before retreating!"

Seeing the agent's scrutinizing gaze, he quickly explained:

"Mr. Dai, if you lose too quickly, it will easily arouse suspicion. You should fire a few more shots. It won't take much effort anyway."

"Heh... better not play tricks, or you won't get paid." "How dare I..."
