1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"...Brother! Can I try it? I'll just drive for a while!" "I'll go too! I'll be in charge...and watch over him!"

"...Oh, then please be careful, the chassis of this car..." "Don't worry! I'm an experienced driver! I guarantee there will be no problem!"

Two hours later, driver Chen Kang and co-pilot Mr. Chongren drove the car to the roof of their house.

327 The Soviets wanted to do a big job

"Ahh..."

Fujiwara Kanezane put his hands on his hips, first looking at the car that was at least 3 meters off the ground and Chongren who was looking down in reflection, then looking at Wang Genying who was blushing and Chen Kui who was laughing awkwardly, and asked doubtfully:

"Boss, who is your driving instructor?"

Actually, after watching too many compilation videos of car accidents on Bilibili in later generations, scenes like "flying onto the house", "climbing up the tree" and "playing Jenga" are considered commonplace.

The question is, how the hell did you manage to get your foot on the gas in 1932, with a 65-horsepower engine that would be considered embarrassing in later times, a manual transmission, and a road that was only 10 degrees off?

There's no meat cart, only meat people, right?

, my driving school instructor back then really had some tricks he didn't teach me. "....Uh..."

"Come on, I don't want you to pay for the car and the rent today. I have a few cars here. Can you show me again how you flew up there?"

"Hehe...this...this...this..."

Chen made a gesture of Korean exasperation: "It takes a little bit of skill and luck..."

"You still say that!!"

Encountering such a funny husband, Wang Genying immediately got angry, pulled his ears hard, pressed his head, and reluctantly apologized to Fujiwara Kanezane:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness! We will compensate for the car!"

"Forget it, it's just a car, just consider it the cost of a test drive." "Your Highness, this..."

"Alright, alright, if you said you don't have to pay, then you don't have to. If you really have to pay, you can't afford this car. Just do your job properly from now on. Besides, look at this guy named C...Wang. He doesn't look like he's going to pay at all."

"Hehehe... Black hehe..."

Fujiwara Kanezane rolled his eyes at Chen Wei's lazy look, and then looked at Chongren: "Boy, are you okay?"

“Brother…”

Although Chongren was not primarily responsible for ruining his brother's beloved car, which he was planning to promote to politicians and wealthy people around the world, he still felt guilty.

"Okay, you look like you're not injured. As long as you're not injured... Ah, let's take a closer look and then get ready to leave. Don't stay too long."

Seeing that more and more people were watching, Fujiwara no Kanezane waved his hand and asked the soldiers to quickly cover up the car and take it down, so as to avoid leaking too much information before the car was put on the market.

However, this is not the Internet age, and information flows slowly. Even if this thing is left here for a day and a night, and even if reporters report it, the possibility of it being known to the world is still small.

The good thing is that it's not easy to leak secrets when doing things, and the bad thing is that it's not easy to leak secrets when doing things. Talking about mass supervision these days is really difficult...

Just as Fujiwara Kanezane was lost in thought again, thinking about random things, the agent came over and whispered in his ear:

"Commander, Sorge, do you remember? He's nearby, watching us. Please don't move. He's alert. He's behind you, at 7 o'clock, in the first house 312 meters in a straight line."

"Um?"

Just as he was about to taunt a brigade commander with a smug look on his face, Fujiwara no Kanezane paused and asked calmly:

"When did you come?"

"He's been following us since we received the news and left the palace. He's not the only one. Ozaki Hidemi just met with him today. I think he leaked your information."

Damn it, you bunch of JCP bastards, I've already let you off so much, can't you be a little more cautious and respect my performance?

Fujiwara no Kanezane was speechless.

In fact, from the first day that Ozaki Hidemi and others arrived in Northeast China, their whereabouts were monitored by UMP40 and other humanoids. However, they unexpectedly discovered that they did nothing except go to get off work and drink and have fun.

I thought these guys had learned their lesson and knew to be more cautious, but after all this time, it turns out they were just waiting for Sorge to arrive?

Incidentally, Sorge entered Northeast China about two weeks ago and has been under surveillance by agents and other humanoids ever since.

Therefore, UMP40 detected that within two days of the shipment's arrival in Northeast China, it sent a telegram to Soviet intelligence teams in Harbin, Qiqihar, Dalian, and other places, posing as the head of a Soviet intelligence line in Manchukuo.

The content basically has only one central point - please ask each intelligence team to send the information they have collected about Fujiwara Kanezane to Sorge.

Perhaps because the intelligence content was too much, they no longer used telegrams to transmit the information, so it is unknown what exactly they communicated.

However, taking this opportunity and historical materials, Fujiwara no Kanezane basically got a complete understanding of the Soviet intelligence group in Northeast China.

Therefore, all the Soviet intelligence points in Northeast China that Sorge had contacted have now been exposed, and more are expected to be exposed in the future.

Of course, Fujiwara no Kanezane would not pull them out, after all, they were finally exposed, so keeping them so as not to have to replace them with new ones was the right way to play.

So, because of his own activism, did Sorge change from being primarily active in Tokyo after leaving Shanghai to being primarily active in the Northeast?

interesting.

Could this guy be trying to get close to me, just like in history? "Commander, what should I do? Should I..."

The agent made arresting gestures. "Catch them all in one fell swoop again?"

"...Hmm... Never mind, let's just observe and see what the Soviets are up to..."

Right.

Anyway, I have a banquet with Germans to attend soon, maybe this guy will come?

Fujiwara no Kanezane pretended to be completely clueless. In the dark, Sorge, using the alias Friedrich Adolf, asked Ozaki Hidemi with a look of shock:

"What is that? A flying car? Invented by you Japanese?" Although it was too far away to see clearly, its shape, which was obviously different from ordinary cars, still revealed its uniqueness and advanced nature.

If this is the case, then the actual industrial capabilities of Manchukuo, at least the industrial productivity of top products, need to be re-evaluated.

"Uh... Mr. Adolf, if my guess is correct, firstly, it can't fly, it's just an operator error, and secondly, it's probably another new invention of Manchukuo... no, His Highness Prince Kanezane."

Ozaki Hidemi gave an awkward laugh and could only explain it in German. "You mean, it was invented by Fujiwara Kanezane, a member of the Japanese royal family?"

"Yes, in fact, we have seen similar things more than once. He always brings us new concepts and new items."

Ozaki Hidemi replied in German with some admiration:

"As I reported to you, this Prince Kanezane is not what we initially imagined. He is extremely intelligent and his methods are extremely powerful..."

During the few months he spent in Northeast China, Ozaki Hidemi truly felt the complexity of China's struggle environment.

In Shanghai he only had to deal with the Kuomintang and foreign police, but in the Northeast he had a lot to consider.

For example, the Japanese military police, the Manchukuo army and police, hidden resistance elements and CCP members, the temptation of intelligence agencies of various countries, and so on.

Anyone facing such a complex environment would be overwhelmed, but Fujiwara no Kanezane not only assembled a powerful 386th Brigade, but also successfully defeated Ma Zhanshan, who was hated by the Japanese Emperor, and stabilized the Northeast.

The most important thing is that although Fujiwara no Kanezane was doing things that undermined the communist cause and was leading the Japanese army to invade China, the communist Ozaki Hidemi surprisingly could not hate him.

On the contrary, he admired it very much:

"...It's no exaggeration to say that Prince Kanezane is the true master of the entire Northeast. Not only the Manchukuo army, but even the Kwantung Army must obey his orders."

"...I'm sorry, I still can't believe it. You're saying it was this young man who stabilized the situation in Northeast China?"

"Believe it or not, it's true."

Sorge took a deep breath and restrained the light in his eyes.

In fact, he had known these things for a long time through the Soviet intelligence agencies, and had accumulated a lot of information about Fujiwara Kanezane. He said this now just to test Ozaki Hidemi.

Because, according to Ozaki's intelligence, a member of Japan's top royal family and the ruler of Northeast China, was not too resistant to the left and even the Communist Party members?

Even knowing the identities of Ozaki Hidemi and his gang, they allowed them to take up key positions in Manchukuo?

Sir, this joke is not funny.

So, who can guarantee that Ozaki Hidemi has not betrayed and is now playing tricks on the Soviet Union?

After all, this man, who is now the first deputy director of the National Highway Bureau of Manchukuo and an executive member of the "Manchukuo Ministry of Internal Affairs", is responsible for many key affairs and is also involved with the traitor Zhao Ziqi. Who wouldn't be suspicious when seeing this?

These days, rebellion and counter-rebellion are eternal themes.

The great failure in Shanghai, the reason of which has not been figured out to this day, has made Sorge extremely sensitive and suspicious of everyone, including Ozaki Hidemi, who left Shanghai for Japan "just in time".

Why, we got into trouble right after you left? Is it you... hehe...

Ozaki Hidemi, completely unaware of Sorge and the Soviet Union's censorship of him, pointed to the crowd in the distance and continued:

"Look, that tall lady in black and white is said to be called Ma Daili. Although she doesn't hold a specific position, she's practically inseparable from Prince Kanezane. It's easy to imagine she's a trusted and capable assistant..."

"The man directing the unloading is Ma Shiling, the first political official of Manchukuo. After the Manchukuo government completely collapsed following the assassination attempt, he seized power and effectively presided over the entire government affairs of Manchukuo..."

"The one being pulled by the ear is Wang Yong, the commander of the 386th Brigade. He's the direct leader of the most important armed forces in Manchukuo, aside from the Japanese Kwantung Army and the former Northeastern Army..."

"The one holding Wang Yong's ears is his wife, Wang Genying. She used to be the logistics manager for the Shenyang Imperial Palace. Now she works for the government, I think at some 'Administrative Service Center'..."

"The guy standing there grinning foolishly is called Wakasugi Sumiya. He's actually Emperor Hirohito's fourth brother, Takahito. He's currently the Second Deputy Director of the National Highway Bureau and the head of the National Highway Guard, but he doesn't actually handle specific operations..."

"Those who didn't come today include Kenji Doihara and..."

Ozaki Hidemi told the Soviet representative everything he knew without reservation, including some secret information that only the top officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could know.

But he didn't think that if Sorge was exposed one day, he would be suspected first and then be doomed together with him.

Sorge felt a little relieved.

What Ozaki Hidemi said was similar to the information he already knew, and some of it was obviously obtained by the other party after they infiltrated Manchukuo, so it was highly likely that he was not lying.

In other words, the people who appeared before them now were the most core group of people in the entire Manchukuo, apart from the senior generals of the Kwantung Army?

Sorge suddenly had a "bad idea": "Ozaki."

"Um?"

"Tell me, if we launch an armed attack on these people, can we cause the Japanese fascist rule in Northeast China to collapse directly?"

Ozaki Hidemi was frightened and subconsciously growled: "No! You can't kill him!"

"Um?"

Unexpectedly, Ozaki Hidemi's reaction was so strong, and it was mainly directed at Fujiwara Kanezane alone. Sorge's eyes suddenly became sharp:

"Ozaki, don't you think the leader of this invading army should be killed?" Ozaki Hidemi quickly explained:

"No, not really. It's just that, after our Japanese Communist Party comrades' evaluation, we believe that His Highness Prince Kanezane has done nothing wrong and is a person worth winning over..."

As he spoke, he gave a detailed account of Fujiwara no Kaneshige's actions in civil affairs, and then advised:

"Your Highness's actions in the Northeast have won the hearts of the people. If he is assassinated, his successor will certainly not be so gentle towards the people of the Northeast. When the time comes, they will surely suffer extremely brutal retaliation."

"I'm sorry, but now that you mention it, I'm even more inclined to assassinate him. Isn't a Japanese fascist who knows how to appease and disguise himself more difficult to deal with than a butcher who only knows how to kill? Don't forget, he's an invader."

.

That being said...

But recalling his encounter with Fujiwara Kanematsu and everything he saw in Tohoku, Ozaki Hidemi couldn't bring himself to do that, so he could only insist:

"Mr. Adolf, I think we should test him again. Perhaps his position is not on the side of counter-revolution and fascism. Please give us some time. We are still infiltrating Manchukuo and the Kwantung Army."

Originally, Ozaki Hidemi wanted to say something like, "Please don't underestimate this prince. He was able to survive several assassination attempts unscathed. He is not that easy to deal with."

But after thinking for a few seconds, he thought that this sentence seemed a bit threatening to Sorge, so he gave up.

"Okay, then please work hard..."

Having said that, Sorge had already become wary and distrustful of the national stance vaguely revealed in Ozaki Hidemi's words.

Is it true that even Marxism and Communism cannot completely eradicate the "reverence for the emperor" mentality in the minds of the Japanese?

It seems that we can't rely on them and have to find someone else.

When dealing with such a cunning Japanese enemy, the Chinese, who have a deep hatred for the Japanese, may be more trustworthy.

After sending Ozaki Hidemi away, Sorge once again reorganized all the information he had on Fujiwara Kanezane. After repeated comparisons and reflections, he came to a not-so-surprising conclusion:

No! This "His Highness Prince Kanezane" must not be allowed to live!

If he were to live, Northeast China would truly fall into the hands of the Japanese, and the resources of Northeast China would truly become Japan's war power, threatening China and also threatening the Soviet Union's interests in Northeast China!

Soon, a telegram was quickly sent to the Far Eastern Branch of the Soviet General Staff, placed on the desks of a group of leaders, and then flew to Moscow and the Kremlin at an even faster speed.

e...fujiwara...”

This was not the first time that the name "Fujiwara Kanezane" appeared on Stalin's desk, but it had not been given such a high priority before.

The reason was that intelligence from the Soviet General Staff's Far Eastern Division, the Communist International's Far Eastern Division, and the diplomatic system all indicated that the existence of Fujiwara no Kanezane, a member of the Japanese imperial family, posed a significant threat to Soviet interests in the Far East.

Moreover, the diplomatic intelligence system revealed one thing:
