1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

it is good!

262 Assassination of Li Jishen and Beating of Chiang Kai-shek

"...Mr. Ren Chao, if you have the chance in the future, you are welcome to visit Ruijin. That is where we started. Perhaps you will gain something new..."

"Of course, of course. I've long admired Ruijin..."

At a dock somewhere in Wuchang, Li Desheng and Li Jishen bid farewell. Though they had only known each other for a short time, they felt a sense of regret for not meeting each other earlier. This was especially true for Li Jishen.

After taking the risk of contacting Li Desheng, he deeply felt that his previous days had been wasted, and none of the so-called "leaders" he had met were worth mentioning.

Look at Li Desheng's vision, magnanimity, ability, and intellectual realm... this is a true national leader!

So, after Li Jishen went to Nanjing to attend an "anti-Chiang conference" that he wanted to verify a "prophecy" rather than a necessity, he rushed back day and night.

The purpose was to chat with Li Desheng more before he left Wuhan.

how to say...

It’s a bit like the feeling of a little fan girl meeting a big star.

Although he is eight years older than Li Desheng.

"...Chairman Li, I have one more question. Will the Red Army in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui region march north to fight against the Japanese? Will you lead them personally? The Japanese side..."

"Hahahaha... Chairman Chiang thinks he can use the Japanese to destroy us. Well, I can only say that he is daydreaming!"

"I'm afraid the Japanese are no match for the Red Army you lead!"

"Oh, that's not right. The Japanese are a strong enemy. We haven't even fought them yet, so how can we..."

Just as the two were talking about the future, one of Li Jishen's adjutants came over with an anxious look on his face. He was about to report something, but when he saw Li Desheng, he stopped talking.

Li Jishen frowned and shouted:

"What is it that needs to be hidden from Chairman Li? Tell me!" "...Commander, you..."

After listening to his subordinates' report, Li Desheng frowned, and Li Jishen suddenly became furious:

"Use your brain! Would the Communist Party do such a thing? This must have been done by someone named Jiang!"

It turned out that after Li Jishen was appointed as the "Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Bandit Suppression Campaign and Commander-in-Chief of the Right Route Army," he had originally planned to go to Bengbu to take charge, but was forced to stay in Wuhan due to various reasons including the siege by the Red Army.

In order to understand the situation in various places, he appointed three progressive students from Huangpu Military Academy, Liu Guang, Qin Xiangpu, and Zeng Zhizu, as colonel councilors to inspect the work in various places in his car.

As a result, just now, his car was turned into scrap metal by several bombs, and the three people in the car were shot by the armed personnel who followed. At the same time, the hats of the Communist bandits and other items were left at the scene.

It was obvious that this was an assassination attempt against him, but the wrong person was killed by mistake.

As for the "communist assassination"?

It's obvious that this is just a frame-up!

Li Desheng was right in front of him, and he wanted to kill him, but at this moment? Damn Chiang Kai-shek!

Li Jishen was furious, not only because he had nearly been assassinated, but also because Chiang Kai-shek treated him like an idiot!

Did that idiot think that by doing this, he, Chen Mingshu, and the 19th Route Army would become enemies of the CCP?

"Damn Jiang! I'm going to get to the bottom of this! I'm completely breaking off all ties with the Jiang family!"

Li Jishen lost all his composure and cursed loudly, throwing his hat hard on the ground and commanding:

"Get the car ready! I'm going to Hankou Hospital to settle accounts with that bastard!"

....

Li Desheng was also very angry, but he knew that this was not a good time to turn against Chiang Kai-shek, so he suppressed his anger and comforted him:

"Mr. Ren Chao, don't be anxious. This matter still needs to be investigated. Don't fall into the enemy's trap..."

"No! Mr. Runzhi, you don't have to persuade me, I..." At this time, a leisurely female voice sounded:

"Mr. Ren Chao, why don't you let me take someone to investigate first?" "...Mr. Shi Wu..."

Li Jishen's anger level dropped a lot at once.

If what impressed him about Li Desheng was his outstanding strategic vision, broad mind and exquisite command art, then this "Instructor Ma" was "all-knowing".

That’s right, it’s “know-it-all”.

No matter what the topic is, she can keep up the conversation; no matter who is being talked about, she has a considerable understanding of them; no matter what field, she has some knowledge of it.

Not to mention the depth of knowledge, just the breadth of knowledge is so great that even Li Desheng would feel ashamed of himself, not to mention Li Jishen.

After hearing what Ma Shiwu said, Li Desheng quickly responded as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw:

"Right, right, right! Let Comrade Shiwu investigate first! If you can find the murderer, you'll be more confident even if you go to Chiang Kai-shek to settle the score!"

"Isn't this...not very safe?"

Li Jishen hesitated, but Li Desheng smiled confidently:

"Don't worry about safety! In our entire Red Army, there's no one more capable of fighting than Comrade Shiwu! If she can't find out, then no one can!"

When Ma Shiwu arrived at the scene, the special brigade, which had received orders in advance, had already organized a Red Army unit and Li Jishen's guards to surround the scene, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

Don’t ask why there were Red Army troops in Hankou, which was controlled by the Kuomintang. The reason was to “receive aid.”

"...Okay, you all can go away. I can handle the rest by myself."

Ma Shiwu ignored the surprised looks of the Hankou police and the uneasiness of Li Jishen's guards and walked leisurely to the front of the exploded car.

She took a quick look, squatted down and fumbled around for a while, looked at the surroundings, picked up a few "Communist bandit evidences", and walked in a certain direction without hesitation.

Rough, really rough.

This assassination method was far inferior to that of the gang of thugs in Berlin, Germany. They even left fingerprints and footprints, making the investigation surprisingly easy.

UMP45 shook her head inwardly.

Of course, she also knew that this was because she was in human form and could easily scan out those remaining traces that were difficult to detect.

But even if humans were to investigate themselves, it probably wouldn't take long and they would be able to easily find the murderer's general whereabouts.

It can only be said that the assassination methods sent by the chairman were too crude. Everyone didn't know what Ma Shiwu was thinking, so they could only hurry to catch up. Then they saw her enter an alley, stop in front of a bungalow, and then, aiming at the door, raised her thigh and kicked it:

"FBl open door! !"

If Deng Wengyi, president of the Wuhan branch of the Renaissance Society, had known that he would be kicked in the door and beaten by a female Tyrannosaurus, he would never have come to Wuhan, let alone taken on the task of assassinating Li Jishen.

But there are no ifs in this world.

The Renaissance Society, which was just established in 1932, was inexplicably wiped out in Shanghai by most of its action elites, leaving only a few "commanders" such as Hu Zongnan, Huang Jie, Deng Wengyi, Kang Ze, and Gui Yongqing unaffected.

This heavy blow not only completely bankrupted Chairman Chiang's plan of "monitoring military officers at all levels and strictly preventing Communist infiltration" (temporarily), but also frightened Deng Wengyi.

So, he volunteered to come to Wuhan, thinking that it would be alright here, far away from Nanjing and Shanghai where the Sino-Japanese struggle was fierce.

Unexpectedly, the Communist bandits actually broke into Wuhan and even brazenly began to "station troops" in Hankou;

That would have been fine, but he was actually given a verbal order to find a way to kill Li Jishen and frame the Communists.

Damn it, is Li Jishen so easy to kill? Are the Communist bandits so easy to frame?!

Even though he was full of complaints, when Deng Wenyi found that Li Jishen's private car had been frequently roaming around the "Communist-controlled area" recently, he couldn't help but have some thoughts, and then...

“Ahhhhhhhh!!”

Having his arm twisted and fingerprinted, Deng Wenyi didn't know what Ma Shiwu was doing and could only roar in pain:

"I am from the Renaissance Society..."

"Deng Wenyi! I know you."

UMP45 lazily threw the stunned Deng Wenyi aside and kicked him far away. Then, he ordered the special forces members, Red Army soldiers, and Li Jishen's guards behind him:

"This guy isn't a direct action officer. That...that...that...is the one who planted the bomb. That...that...and that one, fired the gun...Forget it, arrest everyone here and take them back for interrogation!"

"Yes!"

A group of people pounced on them like wolves and tigers, without caring at all that this was the territory of the Kuomintang.

Some members of the Renaissance Society tried to resist, but were immediately hit with fists as big as casseroles, and were beaten so hard that they cried for their parents.

President Deng Wenyi was still shouting:

"What are you doing? We are from the Renaissance Society! Do you want to destroy the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?"

"Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party? Of course it must continue, but no Kuomintang spies will be allowed to enter Wuhan, otherwise..."

UMP45 smiled and scratched her neck with her thumb. "I said so."

Deng Wenyi shuddered.

A day later, Li Jishen, who had calmed down, rushed into a ward of a hospital in Hankou, threw a pile of confessions and evidence on the bald head of a national leader, roared for a full half hour, and felt very satisfied.

Faced with this irrefutable evidence, and faced with Li Jishen, whose status was not much lower than his own, who also had the support of the 19th Route Army, and most importantly, who was very close to the Red Army, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, lying on his sickbed, had no choice but to admit defeat and decisively threw all the blame onto Yang Yongtai:

"...It was all his own decision! I really don't know! I really don't know!"

In the end, the two sides reached a settlement with some explicit or implicit conditions, such as "a nationwide wanted notice for Yang Yongtai," "guaranteeing full supplies for the 19th Route Army," and "releasing arrested members of the Renaissance Society."

Not long after, a man with glasses and a shiny forehead sat on a train from Shanghai to Beijing, looking west, his eyes filled with hatred:

just wait!

You treat me like this, I will repay you!

The world is so vast, there's no place I, Yang Yongtai, can't go! I'm going to seek refuge with His Majesty Fujiwara!

263 Where will the Red Army stay when it goes north?

Fujiwara no Kanezane had no idea that an abandoned "Wolong" was rushing to join him after hearing about his deeds in the Northeast, and even if he knew, he would not care.

Or rather, I don't have time to care.

Because he had to plan the next performance... no,... how to deal with the Red Army that was about to go north to fight against the Japanese.

"Kang'er, where do you think it would be best to place the Red Army? Shandong? Beiping? Zhili? Rehe? Or perhaps Chahar?"

"I..."

Chen Biao opened and closed his mouth again and again, but finally gave up correcting the strange name "Kang'er" in the other person's mouth, because "Yong'er" would only be more weird.

After pondering for a while, he honestly analyzed the location of the "Northern Base" as he had discussed with Zhao Ziqi and others before:

"Shandong is a good place, but Han Fuqu is already entrenched there, and it's some distance from the Northeast. Unless Chiang Kai-shek wants the Red Army and Han Fuqu to fight to the death, he probably won't agree."

"After all, the Red Army beat him up badly. He should be well aware that the Red Army's combat effectiveness is far stronger than Han Fuqu's army. Sending the Red Army over is like giving away territory..."

"Beiping and Zhili are currently Zhang Xueliang's territories. Based on my understanding of Chiang Kai-shek, he still needs the Northeast Army and Zhang Xueliang's support for the time being, so he won't choose this place to intensify the conflict between them."

"But this kind of thing can't be guaranteed 100%, because Zhang Xueliang is said to be mentally unstable and easily deceived..."

"Compared to Beiping and Zhili, if the Red Army were stationed in Rehe, Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang might be able to accept it, because as long as they stab the Red Army in the back when they are fighting against the Japanese, they can be easily eliminated..."

"We think the Chahar region is the most likely target, because this province is vast and sparsely populated, with scarce resources and deep-seated Han-Mongolian conflicts. If we send the Red Army here, the internal affairs alone will keep us busy."

Yes, because many things are mentioned briefly in history books and there are problems with publicity, many people's cognition has been distorted (including the author before he went to college), namely:

After 1931, the Japanese army stationed troops outside the city of Peking, and then waited until 1937 when the "Lugouqiao Incident" occurred and the full-scale war of resistance broke out (who made us promote the "Eight-Year War of Resistance" before that?).

In fact, after the "September 918th Incident", the Japanese army was busy establishing Manchukuo and sorting out internal affairs in Northeast China for a long time, and had no time to move south or west.

It was not until 1933 that the Japanese army, which had initially stabilized its rear, launched attacks on Rehe, Chahar and other areas in the name of "recovering the homeland of Manchukuo". It was not until the end of 1935 that they barely stopped and began to digest the new territory.

This is even more true in this world line.

Who caused so many "accidents" in Northeast China and so many Japanese soldiers to die, right?

I wonder how much of a headache Mutō Nobuyoshi of the Kwantung Army would have felt when he faced the 4th Division, which, under the training of Fujiwara no Kanezane, did not want to fight at all.

I can only wish you the best.

"I see..."

Fujiwara Kanezane pondered the map, listened to the agent's historical explanation, and gave his own thoughts:

"Why don't we contact the central government and just choose Rehe?"

Rehe Province, a province in the old China at that time, spanned the later Inner Mongolia, Hebei, and Liaoning, with its capital in Chengde, and was one of the "Four Northeastern Provinces";

Compared with humanistic and geographical factors, its political implications may be stronger - it is a province hastily established to deal with the loss of Outer Mongolia.
