1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Wu Hao's words were quite obscure, but he was actually criticizing some comrades' "fear of foreigners" and "local separatist sentiments." He just took everyone's face into consideration and was not as straightforward as Li Desheng.

How about foreigners?

Same two eyes and one mouth!

When you are hungry, you want to eat; when you are thirsty, you want to drink; when you are tired, you want to sleep! In China, if you commit a crime, you will be punished! If you are shot, you will die!

However...

Someone raised the question politely:

"Secretary Wu, that's what we say, but the truth is, we currently lack the strength to resist foreign invasion. Before that, shouldn't we consider being more tolerant?"

In the past, this person would have been accused of numerous technical flaws, but things are different now.

Just like the previous discussion, although there were many different opinions and the arguments were heated, everyone expressed their views very frankly without hesitation or fear of saying the wrong thing;

Well, it was all thanks to Comrade Ma Shiwu. After a severe scolding and the elimination of Wang Ming and others, the bad habit of throwing accusations at people in the party was suppressed a lot.

Everything should be "seeking truth from facts." "Look, look..."

Wu Hao smiled faintly:

"Even you were unable to realize in time that the current situation of our Communist Party of China is different from the past, let alone the ordinary cadres, soldiers and the general public."

"ah.."

The person who said this and those who had similar thoughts in their minds also felt as if they were in a dream.

The current CCP is no longer the "wild child" that was not loved by its father or mother, had no food to eat after the last one, and was not sure if it would have a tomorrow after living today.

Not only did the World Revolutionary Party provide strong support, but even the Soviet Union, which had a neutral attitude towards them, publicly announced in Shanghai newspapers that it would increase its aid to the CCP!

Since everything happened in just a few months, it was so fast and so sudden that not only the ordinary soldiers below, but also many senior leaders didn't fully react and often subconsciously forgot this point!

The current CCP is actually no longer afraid of those things that were once considered "insurmountable chasms."

Why?

Because the situation is completely open!

(At that time) we were trapped in the small town of Ruijin, but we were able to defeat Chiang Kai-shek's encirclement and suppression campaigns. Now we have Hubei and Jiangxi in our hands, and we control half of the Yangtze River waterway. We also have external support. What is there to fear?

However, what the CCP’s top leaders and some mid-level leaders know clearly may not be clear to the people below them.

The public must not be aware of this!

It can even be said that most of the Red Army soldiers who have been reformed through the "grievance conferences" are actually fighting with a kind of tragic and heroic belief:

Facing the incomparably powerful reactionaries, I will certainly die, but I will die for the liberation of the poor people of the world. It is a worthy and glorious death!

But in reality, the struggle situation is not that cruel.

Compared with the revolutionary struggle itself, how to build a new country is the biggest challenge facing the Communist Party of China.

Industrialization alone is enough to give them a headache.

"... Previously, we lacked an opportunity for the entire Party and the entire military to realize that the Chinese Communist Party is no longer the same as it once was, and to change its mindset. Now, that opportunity has arrived."

As he spoke, Wu Hao pointed at the stack of monks' confessions:

"We must openly, impartially, and fairly punish these demons, and convey the convictions of the Communist Party of China to the entire Party, the entire military, all of China, and even the world! Tell them that we are the party qualified to lead China forward!"

"So, I agree that these demons must be severely punished, and in a shocking way. Only in this way can we leave a deep impression on everyone!"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, General Zhu said excitedly:

"If we don't even dare to punish a foreigner, and don't dare to punish him in our own way, what kind of ruling party are we? What qualifications do we have to say we can lead China forward?"

Everyone looked thoughtful, but He Shuheng, the president of the Supreme Court, frowned and said:

"Secretary Wu Hao, the Criminal Law currently provides for the execution of extremely heinous criminals, with only shooting and hanging as the only methods. There is no lingchi, which was introduced in 1905.

Beheading and mutilation were abolished.”

By the way, although this is what was said, in fact, until 1947, prisoners in Guan County (now Dujiangyan) in Sichuan were still being executed by the Nationalist Government by slicing, and beheading was even more common - mostly used to deal with the Communists;

In the past, the CCP might not have hesitated to resort to lynching or something like that, because, to put it bluntly, tens of thousands of comrades within the CCP have been killed by their own people through various forms of lynching.

But now, if the CCP wants to become a legitimate ruling party, it can no longer act as casually as before.

"Dean He, there's no need to dwell on this kind of thing. If even the form of punishment for heinous criminals is limited by legal provisions, then we shouldn't do it."

Wu Hao replied, and He Shuheng insisted:

"Secretary Wu Hao, the spirit of the law cannot be lost because of one person or one incident." "I know."

Wu Hao shook his head and said:

"If there's no law, we can just enact a new law. Or we can discuss each case individually, or hold a public trial to decide. There's always a way... If we perfect the procedures, it won't be us, the Communist Party of China or the Red Army, engaging in lynchings."

Now, He Shuheng or Dong Biwu could not say anything against it.

In fact, they are not opposed to severely punishing the evildoers at all. They just feel that for these few evildoers, the CCP has gradually begun to establish a sound legal system and legal spirit, which will cause greater harm in the future.

To be honest, these two are the ones who have the most "ruling party mentality", because only a normal country will put the law first.

"There are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be punished." Comrade Ma Shiwu's words are firmly in their hearts!

At this time, a cadre knocked on the door of the Nanchang Municipal Government Conference Hall and handed several documents to Wu Hao. The latter picked up the first one, looked at it, and handed it to others. He couldn't help but reveal a rare smile:

"Because this concerns the United States, I think it's best to inform that saintly lady in America. So I've sent a telegram to the American Embassy, ​​the Communist Party USA, and Mark Company, asking them to inform Ms. Field about this."

"Although we haven't received any confirmed information yet, the person in charge of Mark Company in Shanghai has called back and said that Ms. Field will absolutely support us in severely punishing these demons. Otherwise, she would not be Her Highness the Saint..."

only!!

Now, the last bit of worry has mostly disappeared.

Many people are hesitant to take drastic measures, aren't they worried about foreign interference, especially from the United States?

But now that the representative of "American Saint" in China has given such a standard answer without hesitation, it is conceivable that there will be no surprises.

Looking at the expressions of some people, Wu Hao shook his head inwardly and picked up the second document. This time, anger appeared on his face:

"Deng Wenyi has already confessed that he deliberately led General Zhu there. Furthermore, the Kuomintang had long known about all the problems at the monastery, but they didn't dare to make it public because of the foreigners..."

Wu Hao doesn't need to explain the following words too clearly, as those who have read the "Three Represents" theory (rough version) will also know it.

How can such a useless party represent China? How can it represent the Chinese people? How can it represent the direction of Chinese civilization?

What the CCP people don’t know is that the KMT is actually much more useless than they imagine.

In the Jingminglou Incident, it was clearly American soldiers who gang-raped Chinese women, but the useless Kuomintang later charged those women with "disturbing public morals, enticing and seducing Allied troops to engage in lewd activities with the intent to profit" and sentenced them;

You should know that among these women, only a small number are professional dancers, and most of the others are wives of wealthy officials, ranging in age from 15 to 32.

If the so-called "nobles" are like this, what about other ordinary people?

(Of course, this incident was criticized, but because the KMT has done so many bad things, everyone is tired of it, and it involves Americans, so it didn't cause much trouble.)

Therefore, it is perfectly normal that the Kuomintang did not dare to disclose what happened in the Nanchang Monastery and that Deng Wengyi believed that luring General Zhu there would deal a huge blow to the Communist Party of China.

(By the way, there was also the bullshit "Flying Tigers". In fact, they did contribute to the anti-Japanese war, but in reality they were just a bunch of mercenaries, so military discipline...)

This time, the CCP must make a big fuss about this matter and strike hard at the KMT!

What the KMT dares not say, the CCP says! Who the KMT dares not control, the CCP controls! Kill first and then... cough cough... I'm off topic...

Anyway, if there were no CCP, the common people would just accept being bullied by foreigners as normal, and would just accept it, not thinking it was a big deal that the government didn't deal with it.

But what if the CCP stepped in, announced it would intervene in the matter, and actually executed the criminal foreigners while withstanding any potential retaliation?

That kind of shock is absolutely subversive.

Now, almost everyone was convinced - about publicly trying and executing those demons in a more "cruel" way.

There are no such thing as "abolitionists" these days. People's hearts are hardened. Tenderness is reserved for comrades and ordinary people.

The only thing that might cause people to hesitate is probably the "international image", but when it comes to the major issue of the Communist Party of China unifying the country and boosting the confidence of the people, that is nothing.

There is no doubt that this will be an extremely difficult challenge, but if it were easy, who would come here to sacrifice their lives? What kind of bullshit would they be Communist Party members?

Seeing that the opinions of the party leaders were basically unified, Wu Hao made the final decision after discussing the details:

"Let the propaganda and intelligence departments in Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou...all places prepare first...we will do it first...then...then..."

"Send our plan to Comrade Li Desheng and ask for his opinion. If Right 11 has no objection, then we will proceed accordingly!"

When Wu Hao said this, some CCP cadres, while responding, could not help but have a thought that they could not express clearly:

Perhaps, the person who really made the decision is not here...

343 The CCP is fucking crazy!

The headquarters of Min Bao newspaper in Shanghai, China.

"Min Bao" is actually the Kuomintang's official newspaper - "Min Guo Daily".

After the Republic Daily was protested by the Japanese and closed down due to the use of the phrase "unfortunately, only the secondary car was blown up" in its report on the assassination of the Japanese Emperor (which was shameful), the Min Bao was established and became the new official newspaper.

Currently, the president and editor-in-chief of Min Bao is Ye Chucang, secretary-general of the Kuomintang Central Political Conference.

Now, he was receiving a man who had just been released from prison and came to him for help with a mission, and he tried hard to persuade him:

"Junfu, I'm six years older than you, and you just treat me like a big brother with too much gossip. You finally managed to escape from prison, so why bother getting involved with them again?"

"I know it's dangerous."

The thin but elegant-looking man in a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses said calmly:

"But this time, I must get involved."

"Why bother? Why bother! Didn't you already promise Director Xu (Xu Enzeng, the head of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics) that you would no longer have any contact with the CCP or help it?"

Junfu, Bao Junfu, whose real name was Yang Dengying, was a Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agent;

To be more precise, he was once a spy of the Central Bureau of Investigation and even a special commissioner of the Investigation Department in Shanghai (head of the Shanghai intelligence department), but was later thrown into jail.

Why was he arrested?

Because the CCP spy Gu Shunzhang betrayed and exposed the fact that Yang Dengying was secretly acting as an insider for the CCP, Xu Enzeng and others, who had already lost face because of the Qian Zhuangfei incident, were extremely angry, so they arrested him.

Logically speaking, if it weren't for the Kuomintang officials such as Cai Yuanpei who tried their best to bail him out and his outstanding abilities, he would have been shot long ago.

Incidentally, most of the CCP members or leftists whom Yang Dengying had helped or even directly saved were still somewhat famous:

Wu Hao, Qian Zhuangfei, Chen Kang, Ren Bishi, Peng Pai, Yang Yin, Mao Dun, Chen Yangshan...

Therefore, this time, when Li Desheng negotiated with Chiang Kai-shek in Hankou, Yang Dengying was among the list of "political prisoners who must be released" he provided;

The Communist Party is grateful and repays kindness, and so is Yang Dengying.

Although he was imprisoned because of the Communist Party, it was actually the Communist Party that rescued him. Therefore, when the Communist Party needed him, he stood up without hesitation.

But Ye Chucang couldn't understand why he continued to "seek death" even though he had already escaped from prison. Wasn't it better to be a rich playboy?

Facing Ye Chucang's questions and persuasion, Yang Dengying simply knocked on the thick envelope on the table:

"...Secretary Ye, you'll understand if you take a look at what's inside. I believe that any Chinese person with even a modicum of conscience would absolutely not turn a blind eye to this."

Ye Chucang instinctively felt that the contents of the envelope were extremely dangerous, but under Yang Dengying's gaze, he could only bite the bullet and open it. He only took a glance, was stunned for two seconds, and then stuffed the photo back in fear, growling:

"Junfu! What is this!"

"Evidence of the Nanchang Monastery's massacre of Chinese infants and young children and a copy of the confession." "...was it given to you by the CCP?"

"Yes."

"They want you to help publish it in the newspaper?" "Yes."

"What do they want to do!" Ye Chucang finally roared out:

"Are they trying to sow discord between China and the US? Are they crazy?!"

Although this was only Ye Chucang's personal reaction, it actually represented the reaction of most KMT bureaucrats upon hearing the news:

Fine, fine, I know you Communists recently defeated Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's 30-man army and brutally beat Jing Yuexiu in Shaanxi. You are very arrogant and are showing off your power in front of us. We can tolerate this.

But you're actually going all out on the Americans, bringing up their problems and even going so far as to publicly announce it in an attempt to siege them. Are you crazy?

how?

You want to go to war with the United States?

If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!
