1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"Wait until you get back and write a self-criticism! And a report on using a gun! You're such a big guy, but you're acting like a pig! I transferred you here because you're strong, and you're just giving me extra work!"

"oh.…"

Zhang Guanyi, who had just pretended to be almost chopped to test his companions, pretended to be extremely annoyed, unconvinced and secretly grateful, but in fact he was extremely shocked in his heart.

Actually...actually shot the Japanese...

Why did his first reaction seem to be that writing a report was too much trouble, instead of running away immediately or confessing to the Japanese?

Yes, that's right, it was the Japanese Ronin who resisted arrest and it was the Japanese Ronin who first drew his knife and tried to kill;

So according to the regulations, they could have shot each other; but...but...

Regulations are regulations, reality is reality!!

Whose Northeast is it? You're talking as if no one knows?! Are all the people from the 386th Brigade so fierce?

He was even more ferocious than when I cursed Wang Yong in the street! At least I was only cursing a Chinese person! A traitor! He just killed a real Japanese! And that Ministry of Internal Affairs!!

The two leaders are both Japanese, and one of them is even a Japanese "prince" (a misconception, but it's almost the same). Can they really tolerate this situation??

Damn it, these damn Japanese are not really serious about building that ridiculous "Manchurian Paradise"?

Ma Shangde, who was only six years older than Fujiwara no Kanezane and had not yet changed his name to "Yang Jingyu" or "Zhang Guanyi", was a bit overwhelmed and then received another slap on the head:

"What the hell are you standing there for! Go save them!"

According to the regulations, police can retaliate with pepper spray, batons, or even pistols and rifles if the prisoner resists arrest and three warnings are ineffective;

However, after forcing the other party to lose their ability to resist, they must be immediately sent to a medical institution for treatment. They must not stand idly by or deliberately delay time to cause worsening injuries or death.

"Save...save people?"

Ma Shangde finally woke up from his dream and immediately entered the state of "Zhang Guanyi". He said unconvincedly:

"They were the ones who attacked us first! They deserved to be beaten to death! Why should we save them?"

"Fuck you! Do you have any sense at all?"

The head of the Shenyang Imperial Palace Police Station slapped him again, feeling frustrated.

"I finally met someone who's willing to follow the rules, but you're so frivolous you don't follow the rules. You want people to use guns and knives on you, right?"

Deep down, the director was reluctant to save these Japanese ronin, but he was now a formally trained Manchukuo police officer, and he was very clear about one thing:

Under the leadership of His Highness, it is rare that the Japanese are willing to follow the rules. If the Chinese themselves do not follow the rules, then the Japanese will probably not follow the rules in the future.

A world without rules, where the strong prey on the weak, would be quite disadvantageous for a weak China, wouldn't it?

As he said that, the director hurried over to check on the Japanese ronin and began to perform simple rescue according to the training manual. Zhang Guan, who was "stood there in a daze", followed him "reluctantly".

At this time, the Japanese gendarmerie, the Ministry of Internal Affairs patrol force and the National Police Headquarters support mobile force rushed to the scene after hearing the gunshots.

Seeing the mess and the two policemen handcuffing and rescuing the vagrants, the Japanese military police looked grim but said nothing. They followed the support troops from the police headquarters to evacuate the crowd, maintain discipline, and treat the wounded.

As for the Ministry of Internal Affairs patrol team, after inquiring about the situation, they took the director and Zhang Guanyi, who might have made a mistake, back for investigation.

If the facts are confirmed to be correct, these two people may have to take 1-3 days of "administrative leave", but one may have to receive retraining and re-education, while the other may be put in a small dark room for hitting and swearing at others.

Why did the Japanese military police not react much when they saw their compatriots being injured by the Chinese, and even offered to help?

In addition to Fujiwara no Kanezane's order, the main reason was the three words "Ministry of Internal Affairs" embroidered on the two troops.

Although the "Three-Year Special Operation to Crack Down on Organized Crime and Evil in Manchukuo" was only officially launched in the past two days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' reputation has been circulating among the Japanese army in Northeast China and even in the country for some time.

There are three main reasons.

First, this was a "secret agency" established with the personal approval of His Majesty the Emperor and the personal supervision of His Highness Kanezane. Its authority in Northeast China was virtually unlimited, and it could arrest and kill anyone it pleased, with officers below the rank of Lieutenant General.

If it weren't for His Highness Kanezane who had been suppressing the arrogance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, demanding that there must be clear evidence for every arrest, that no one should be arrested at will, and that torture should not be used at will, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would have gone crazy with killing.

Secondly, although the "Manchukuo Police General Bureau" was actually under the management of the Manchukuo 386th Brigade, it was nominally directly affiliated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was considered a "fellow citizen";

In other words, if a conflict really occurs, it is a question whether these few people in the gendarmerie can defeat the two opposing teams. Wise people do not do stupid things.

Third, if it were simply a "highly respected position," the Ministry of Internal Affairs wouldn't be so intimidating. But the problem is that not long after its establishment, the Ministry of Internal Affairs "secretly" caught a bunch of corrupt officials.

Criminal acts include bullying men and women, embezzling public funds, robbing gold from the Northeast Bank and keeping it for oneself, and reselling military supplies (Fujiwara Kanezane: Ah, don't look at me, that doesn't count as reselling);

The criminals included members of the Second Division, which was previously stationed in Northeast China and now has returned to Japan, members of the Independent Garrison, members of the Manchuria Railway Company, and members of the current Fourth Division;

The criminal ranks ranged from second lieutenant to lieutenant, major to lieutenant colonel, and even included two colonels, a nominal major general, and middle and high-level managers of the Manchuria Railway;

This terrifying efficiency shocked all those in the know, and also shocked the Japanese military police system, which had achieved nothing and had not yet found the real culprit of several assassinations or even uncovered a single chicken feather.

Moreover, during this period, with the strong support of His Highness Kanezane, the Ministry of the Interior frantically poached people from various departments of Manchukuo and Japanese institutions in China, causing everyone to be uneasy and many people chose to change jobs.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this "Internal Affairs Review Committee" is a new organization that is efficient, has a brilliant record, a complex staff, strong backgrounds, and strict systems.

They had the Emperor's permission and, following orders from His Majesty Kanezane, had directed the National Police Agency to launch a "special operation to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil." Who would dare to question or even stop it?

Similar scenes occurred in various parts of the Northeast.

Not only Japanese, not only Chinese, but also Americans, British, French, Russians stranded in Northeast China...

In the past, they were arrogant and domineering because of their "extra-legal power". Apart from being slightly polite to the Japanese, they bullied the Chinese at will and no one dared to intervene.

Now, as long as you dare to commit a crime and are caught red-handed, the Manchukuo police or the Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrest you directly, no matter who you are!

If you dare to resist, pepper spray, batons, spirit injection sticks (random access) and even pistols and rifles will be used directly. No matter who the hell you are, you deserve to be beaten to death!

protest?

Opposition? Dissatisfaction?

Fine, fine, I see you're just a bug intent on opposing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere strategy, subverting the Manchurian Empire regime, and sabotaging the Manchurian Paradise construction plan!

Comrade...ah, this is not the same channel...

You bastard, I think you need to go to Siberia to dig potatoes!

313 A Japanese prince is hanging out with the brigade commander?

"...In fact, Wakasugi-kun, the first few successful operations of our Ministry of Internal Affairs had nothing to do with us. Instead, it was the clues given by His Highness Kanezane, and we simply followed them..."

From a distance, Takahito watched as several "Manchukuo police" arrested three Russians who had bought things without paying and two Japanese ronin who had attempted to rape women. Doihara, who was accompanying him, explained:

“That’s why we have the power we have today and can mobilize so many forces to restore order throughout Northeast China;”

"What you're seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. More arrests are actually being made in secret, and they're not primarily targeting these petty thefts..."

In fact, when he said this, Kenji Doihara himself was in considerable shock.

Unexpectedly, this temporary police force, mostly converted from the 386th Brigade and placed under the Ministry of Internal Affairs at His Highness' request, was so highly mobile, even rivaling his veteran subordinates!

My people are all battle-hardened, and I worked hard to win them over, which is why they have such strong cohesion and fighting power. How many days have these policemen been trained?

It seems that it is time to go and learn from that Brigade Commander Wang. He must have unique methods of training soldiers. No wonder His Highness values ​​him so much. He is indeed an extraordinary person.

Of course, His Highness was even more powerful. He had built a powerful, secret intelligence unit all his own without anyone noticing. Otherwise, how could he have helped the Ministry of Internal Affairs win those first few battles?

This is what Kenji Doihara thought, but Chongren was obviously shocked by something completely different. He pointed at the group of Chinese-speaking police officers who were dealing with foreigners and asked in disbelief:

"Doihara-kun, are they... are they the Chinese... are they... are they arresting us Japanese? And the Russians? And even people from the UK and the US?"

For a moment, Chongren even thought that the status of countries like Japan and the Soviet Union had been reversed compared to China, and that China was the more powerful one.

why?

Why didn't the Japanese military police nearby stop it? Are they crazy?

Speaking of which, their uniforms are quite nice and have a unique aesthetic.

it is as expected.

Although His Highness Chongren is considered the future elite of the royal family, his mind, vision, and knowledge are not even one ten-thousandth of His Highness Kanezane...

Apart from anything else, are Russians the same as Soviets?

Stop it, Mr. Chongren. If we arrest all the Russians who can escape to Northeast China, it won’t necessarily be a big deal if they are innocent.

Kenji Doihara sighed inwardly and asked seriously:

"Wakasugi-kun, please don't use the word 'China' anymore. This is an administrative order issued by His Highness Kanezane... Also, are you familiar with the Manchurian Paradise and the East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere?"

"I know...I understand it quite well. That is the great plan and ideal of Brother Kanezane." Speaking of this, admiration appeared in Takahito's eyes, and he used the word "great" without hesitation, because the grandeur of that plan was indeed far beyond the imagination of almost everyone in the entire Japanese political arena.

Seeing Takahito praising Fujiwara no Kanezane so much, Doihara Kenji, who was proud of it, nodded slightly, and then asked in a slightly sarcastic and disdainful tone:

"Then, before Your Majesty, have you ever heard of anyone else in our country proposing any similar plans?"

Chongren thought about it and shook his head.

It’s not that no one has ever proposed the idea of ​​occupying China, but rather that no one has ever come up with a plan for how to occupy China or what to do after occupying China.

At least, Chongren, who had the power to read many imperial books and secret records, had never seen it, nor had he ever heard his own brother Hirohito talk about it.

Does the "Tanaka Memorial" count?

Before the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere Strategy" was proposed, everyone thought it was a pretty good and complete plan.

However, when the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" came out, this memorial that had caused Japan countless troubles was instantly discarded.

Anyone with a bit of political insight can see that the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere Plan" is essentially aimed at destroying China, but you can't blame the Japanese for not doing so!

Who doesn't know how rotten the Nationalist government is?

How come, now, the Japanese "sincerely" want to help the Chinese become stronger and help the Asian people stand up, and this is also wrong?

Compared to the blatant "Tanaka Plan" that had to be desperately concealed, and the even more blatant "Hirota Three Principles," His Highness Kanezane's plan was completely publicized to the world, yet no one could refute it!

Therefore, even after seeing this plan, the Chinese people, including the Chinese Communist Party, could only say that "the Japanese actually have bad intentions", but they could not publicly accuse the plan itself of being wrong.

In Kenji Doihara's view, this is the highest-level conspiracy that countless strategists have been pursuing all their lives, and it is a conspiracy that the enemy must accept even if he is unhappy.

To put it bluntly, this doesn't seem like a plan that the Japanese could come up with.

"Then, Wakasugi-kun, do you know what the biggest obstacle to realizing His Highness Kanezane's great strategy is?"

"This... please advise."

"Let me tell you, there are two main reasons." Doihara raised two fingers:

"1. China boasts a rich history and age-old culture spanning five thousand years. Although this nation has yet to fully awaken, even a small awakening would be enough to make it an unmatched opponent for Japan..."

Before he finished listening, Chongren subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Don’t be fooled by the Japanese who keep saying “China, China” and who declare “the essence of China is already in their own country” (later they also declared “China perished at Yashan and Coal Hill”, etc.);

But in fact, the educated people in the upper echelons of Japan were very interested in Chinese history, or at least Chinese culture. The fact that all the high-ranking aristocrats could write Chinese characters, compose Chinese poetry, and even speak Chinese is a clear proof of this.

They also know very well that if Chinese civilization did not have such a strong culture, it would have been destroyed time and time again by Japan or some other country.

What is both funny and regrettable is that the Chinese people at this time regard their own culture as stinky dog ​​shit, and even many patriotic writers believe that Chinese characters should be abolished and replaced with Roman letters or English.

Kenji Doihara's view is slightly more radical:

"...The Liao Dynasty was like this, the Jin Dynasty was like this, the Yuan Dynasty was like this, and the Qing Dynasty was like this. Now, Japan wants to control China, just like the Qing Dynasty, a small tribe, faced a big country. Only by completely integrating into China can it achieve this..."

(Note: If the Japanese still have a certain amount of awe for the Mongols, they completely despise the Qing Dynasty, which is similar to the attitude of North Korea towards the Qing Dynasty.)

Chongren's face looked a little ugly, but he was unable to refute.

They are not Koreans, and they cannot say nonsense like "Chinese characters were invented by Koreans".

After all, Japanese culture is basically passed down from China, and educated people understand its importance.

"The second is the narrow vision and mindset of us Japanese, from top to bottom..."

"Doihara-kun! Are you looking down on our own people?" "Am I wrong? Is it a sin to have the courage to admit one's shortcomings, Wakasugi-kun?"

Doihara bluntly confronted a future prince:

"From the Manchurian Incident to the present day, apart from His Highness Kanezane, has anyone in the country come up with any reliable national strategic plans?"

"Have any of these people in Manchuria or even in China ever seriously considered the future of the country, other than seeking profit and credit?"

Chongren's anger froze on his face and he was suddenly speechless.

To review knowledge, until the end of World War II, even with the "East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere", Japan did not have a comprehensive strategy for invading China or even going to war.

After the US military occupied Japan, they questioned all the Japanese ministers and generals, but were shocked to find that, just like the two incidents, the Japanese had no plans to end the war!

This is not because they are warlike (at least not all of them), but because they themselves do not know when to stop and what to do after stopping. They simply fight wherever and whenever they can.

To be frank and to put it bluntly, the Japanese mindset is still very similar to that of the nomadic peoples who came and went in Chinese history:

Oh, I can't survive anymore. I have to go south to fight in "Grass Valley". If I can grab some good stuff, that would be the best. If not, I can use this to consume some people. Anyway, I won't lose anything.
