1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Well, he became the emperor, and he was not the kind of emperor who relied on local power to ascend to the throne, but the first emperor in Japanese history with real power:

I hold the heavenly law in my mouth and I am the state.

ha?

You said that Japan has become a centralized state through the Meiji Restoration?

Don't make trouble.

If this were true, would Meiji's army have been beaten up by the military leaders? If this were true, would Hirohito's marriage have been nearly ruined by the military leaders?

If this is really the case, how can Your Highness have any chance?

Kenji Doihara thought quickly for a few seconds and came up with an idea. He immediately reported:

"My Lord, this is what I think;"

"The National Highway Administration has a heavy engineering workload involving many businesses, so Director Zhao and Deputy Director Ruoshan will focus their inspections on the government, various engineering projects, and businesses. They'll discuss the specific allocations themselves."

"Brigade Commander Wang is Chinese, and the military discipline issues of the original Manchukuo army really need to be rectified, so his focus is here;"

"I am more familiar with the situation on the Japanese side, so I will be in charge of inspecting the problems of the Japanese Kwantung Army. As for Wang Sang, he will serve as the mobile force..."

"If there are any deficiencies, I will discuss it with President Ma. Is this a good idea?"

Before Fujiwara no Kanezane could speak, a group of Kwantung Army officers cursed in their hearts. Doihara Baka!

Are you trying to take this opportunity to retaliate against us?

Some generals who once looked down on Doihara, had conflicts with him, or even slapped him in the face have begun to worry.

Once this guy has power, will he...

Everyone looked at Fujiwara Kanezane, who thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, I basically agree with your arrangement, but Colonel is too low a rank... Well, now that the incident at the founding ceremony of Manchukuo is over, I'll report to His Majesty the Emperor and have you promoted to Major General first."

With just one sentence, Kenji Doihara jumped from colonel to major general, and the rank was promoted to major general at the behest of His Majesty Prince Kanezane, who specifically applied for it to His Majesty the Emperor.

This kind of major general is much more impressive than those who were promoted according to the order of rank. This is the charm of power...

Everyone looked at Kenji Doihara with envy, and the latter said gratefully: "I will swear to fulfill the master's will until my death!"

Fujiwara Kanezane patted his shoulder:

"Kenji, among all the Japanese in Northeast China, I believe you are the only one who can best understand my lofty ideals, so please don't let me down!"

Soon, everyone hurried off to do their own thing. Some had important work to do, while others were just checking to see if their own bottoms were clean.

Fujiwara Kanezane was waiting for the agent's report:

"Commander, 40 is back."

Commander 353, you don't want people to know that you're a Trotskyist, do you?

"Hello! Commander!"

After two days of running around, UMP40 still looked energetic, with the two big rabbits on its chest jumping, and jumped in front of its commander, smiling, not at all like the world-famous "First Consul of Manchukuo".

"You..."

Mark patted the guy's head and didn't even ask her if she had caught the person, because she had already told the agent in the cloud map;

He had no interest in even meeting those bandits who were bribed by the Jews, mixed in with the villagers, opened fire and intensified the conflict, and were destined to be skinned alive along with their Jewish masters.

However, another piece of news brought by UMP40 forced him to take it seriously: "...The Soviet Union is assembling its troops. I even met their representatives, who are waiting outside... However, I feel their attitude is not very good..."

"Oh, warning or threatening me?"

Fujiwara no Kanezane was well aware of the Soviet Union's plans and actions.

It is nothing more than the usual "muscle flexing and intimidation". War will definitely not be started easily because Moscow will not easily allow it;

At present and for a long time to come, Moscow's attitude towards Northeast China is "allow the Japanese army to occupy it, fight back if provoked, take advantage if possible, but never allow the war to escalate into a full-scale war."

Although this was not consistent with the ideas of Blucher and others in the Far Eastern Group Army, who would dare to act rashly under Stalin's power and the Great Purge?

So, at most it's just intimidation.

However, Fujiwara no Kanezane was not the useless Mr. Zhang who was sometimes bold and sometimes timid. He always had a clear mind and would not change easily because of the change in the Soviets' attitude.

"It's none of their business if I mobilize troops! Let them take care of the Jews in their own country, or I'll take some men to fuck their fathers."

"Got it, then have someone reply that you want to fuck Stalin and have them clean their asses and wait."

"Girls, don't use foul language."

Fujiwara Kanemi knew that Xiao 40 was aware of her bad mood and was deliberately making fun of her, so he smiled and knocked her on the head:

"Okay, let the Soviets come over so I can meet them."

"Okay..."

Soon, a Soviet colonel with a gloomy face appeared in front of Fujiwara Kanezane. Without even a greeting, he said directly and rudely:

“I’m General Vytautas Putner’s…” “I don’t care who you are.”

Fujiwara no Kanezane interrupted the colonel, and his agent translated for him: "Go ahead! What do you want from me? If you have something to say, say it quickly, and then get out!"

The Soviet colonel's face showed undisguised anger, but remembering the order from above, he suppressed it:

"We lodge a solemn protest with you. Why are you mobilizing troops on a large scale in the border area without prior notification? Why..."

In fact, although the Soviet army was somewhat wary of Fujiwara no Kanezane's sudden deployment of troops to the border area, they were not very nervous.

Because intelligence showed that Japan's logistical supplies and heavy weapons were not mobilized with the troops, it was obviously impossible for them to attack the Soviet Union;

The Japanese weren't so crazy as to think they could defeat the Soviet Far Eastern Army of the Order of the Red Banner with just light infantry, were they?

Moreover, in the eyes of the Soviets, the Japanese heavy weapons were almost nothing.

Therefore, sending someone here to inquire this time is just a formality to prevent anyone in the country from making unnecessary comments.

As long as the Japanese could come up with a random excuse, the matter would be over. The relationship between the two sides had always been good, so why bother causing trouble? However, the Japanese who received them seemed less approachable: "Huh? When did the Great Japanese Empire need your Soviet consent to mobilize troops on its own soil?"

Fujiwara no Kanezane said angrily:

"I haven't yet held you, the Soviets, responsible for your messy behavior that led to our large-scale troop deployment, and now you're holding us responsible first?"

“! ! ! ”

After hearing the first sentence, the colonel was angry at first, and then he was shocked after hearing the second sentence:

"What...our responsibility?"

"Heh... a bunch of Soviet idiots, don't they even know this?" Fujiwara Kanezane snorted coldly and had the agent throw out some papers:

"Look for yourself! This is the confession of the resistance fighters we captured!" Well, Kaufman's confession + Fujiwara Kanezane's new version with special embellishments, the main purpose is to shift the blame and put all the responsibility on the Jews and the Soviet Union.

In short, the Jews of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast (then called the Birobidzhan National District) colluded with Jews in Northeast China and tried to stir up trouble in the Sino-Soviet border area near Xingshan, in order to split this area away...

Logically speaking, this plan was very credible. Moreover, the Soviet Far Eastern Group had already discovered some bad signs and was hesitating whether to report them.

Therefore, the Soviet colonel immediately believed most of it and asked anxiously: "Where is that person? Where is he?"

"People? I'll nail them to death! Humph!"

Fujiwara no Kanezane was extremely angry with Kaufman, not only because he bribed the Japanese army to act on his own and even caused a tragedy like the massacre of a village;

Most importantly, this guy's behavior destroyed his long-standing ideas and plans.

Because, what the hell is this "Birobidzhan National Area"? Actually, it was originally Chinese territory, which was clearly defined during the Treaty of Nerchinsk and lost after the Treaty of Aihui!

Therefore, Fujiwara no Kanezane originally intended to use the power of the Jews to make them engage in internal friction or even conflict with the Soviets, and then he would benefit from it;

Even if we can't get this land and railway back in a short time, can we at least move some Chinese residents in and get some "military funds" from the Jews?

Result, Wuhu.

After Kaufman's bold move, someone who could not tolerate the massacre had no choice but to detonate the bomb in advance, thereby enhancing his own prestige and causing headaches for the Soviets.

The "North Manchuria Railway" (i.e. the Chinese Eastern Railway) must be taken back, but how to get it back and at what price are still negotiable.

Historically, Japan spent more than 100 million yen to buy this railway, but His Highness Fujiwara did not intend to be the one who got taken advantage of.

Although Fujiwara no Kanezane said so, the Soviet colonel did not believe it and would not just accept the obviously perfunctory explanation. He actually asked directly:

"Please hand him over to us immediately! I'll take him back and report to the army headquarters!"

"

Where did this young fool come from? Are Russians always so rough in their work? Do you think you are my real father?

Fujiwara no Kanezane, whose temper was growing worse, waved his hand and said, "Beat him up and throw him out with his belongings." "Yes."

"Hmm? What are you going to do? What are you going to do!!! Wuu ...

Soon, all the Japanese soldiers stationed near the "King's Tent" and the soldiers of the 386th Brigade were shocked to see that the group of Soviets who had just walked in with their heads held high were thrown out with bruises on their faces.

It was really thrown out - the majestic maid beside His Highness, who was so beautiful that they couldn't bear to look directly at her, grabbed the collars of these people and threw them out one by one.

Although no one knows what happened inside, this scene is indeed very satisfying. Whether Japanese or Chinese, seeing the Russians get humiliated, almost all of them smiled knowingly.

Let’s not even mention the Japanese; they haven’t forgotten the Russo-Japanese War (the number of deaths is secondary; the point is that even if they won, they didn’t get any money).

What about the Chinese?

Sorry, except for a very small number of forces such as the Chinese Communist Party, there are really not many people in this remote Northeast who have a good impression of the Russians (in the eyes of ordinary Chinese people, the Soviet Union = Russians = Tsarist Russia).

Because, for hundreds of years, whether it was called Tsarist Russia or the Soviet Union, these old Russians have been in constant bloody conflicts with China.

Although 30 years have passed since the Boxer Rebellion, the hugely influential Sino-Soviet War has only been three years since!

That’s right, it was Young Marshal Zhang who first sent people to raid the Soviet Consulate in Harbin and armedly expelled 59 people including the Russian Railway Director and Deputy Director;

That's right, it was Young Marshal Zhang who first sent people to arrest the Russians' Chinese Eastern Railway employees, forcibly took over the telephone and telecommunications agencies along the Chinese Eastern Railway, and sealed off the Soviet Union's state-owned commercial departments...

But all of China knows that even if there was some element of Zhang Shaoshuai being foolish and showing off, the main reason for doing so was that the Russians had found various excuses to delay the return of the Chinese Eastern Railway, which was originally agreed to be returned to China in 1927!

Well, even if Young Marshal Zhang was wrong to forcibly arrest people and expel Soviet forces, was it right for you, the Soviet Union, to first invade Northeast China without declaring war and directly use your navy, army, and air force?

Is it right to bomb Chinese towns such as Tongjiang, Fujin, Mishan, Hailar, and Boktu, destroy all military and civilian facilities along the way, kill and injure thousands of Chinese civilians, and rape and plunder on a large scale?

After the war, they forcibly occupied Heixiazi Island and the eastern shore of Khanka Lake and refused to return them, and established the puppet regimes of the "Solun Republic" and the "Hailar Mongolian Government" in the Hulunbuir region to split China.

Is it right to sell the "Middle East Railway", the cause of the conflict, which should have been returned to China, to China's mortal enemy Japan, and help them invade China?

You say that a weak country deserves to be beaten and bullied, and that there are only interests between countries. This is true, but you should not expect the local Chinese to have a good impression of you while being beaten, right?

You can't be too fairy-like.

By the way, the Chinese Eastern Railway incident also caused the Chinese Communist Party to lose its image in the hearts of the people at that time, and was even denounced as a traitor by many patriots.

why?

Because when the incident broke out, the whole country was indignant, and the anti-Soviet wave was rising, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, chaired by Li Lisan, actually responded to the Soviet Far Eastern Bureau's call for "armed defense of the Soviet Union" and openly supported the Soviet Union!

They mobilized propaganda, claiming the Soviet Union had come to liberate the Chinese people in the Chinese Eastern Railway War. They called for large-scale demonstrations in support of the Soviet Union and against the Nationalist government and Zhang Xueliang, and for a general strike by Shanghai workers to support the Soviet Union's armed invasion of China.

Even Chen Duxiu, who had always clung to the Soviet Union, felt that this was too outrageous. He wrote a letter saying, "We must not simply assume that the masses agree that the Soviet Union is a friend coming to liberate China." As a result, he was expelled from the party.

(This doesn’t mean they were traitors, but rather that a considerable number of people at the time viewed the Soviet Union as a beacon of the world, or even their own father, and placed so-called internationalism above all other interests.)

Because of its shameful and dark history, and considering its relationship with the Soviet Union, the later party history basically glossed over the "Soviet Union Incident" and put the blame on the Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Jiechi governments.

But history is history after all. People in later times can always find out the truth through various channels. It is even less likely that the eyewitnesses of this period would have any good feelings towards the Soviets.

Therefore, when these Russians were driven out by the orders of His Majesty Prince Kanezane, the Chinese and Japanese outside the gate were all delighted, and even had an unbearable feeling of "being proud of it" and "sharing the same hatred for the enemy":

As expected of His Highness!

Hahahahaha... Good job! Kill these damn old Russians!

"...Comrade Commander, these Japanese are extremely arrogant..."

After returning, the beaten Soviet colonel naturally exaggerated the situation and denounced the Japanese for being so brutal and disrespectful to the Soviet Union, but this did not anger Vytautas Putna, commander of the Primorsky Group of the Far Eastern Special Army of the Order of the Red Banner.

Because, the information about Fujiwara no Kanezane in Northeast China was already on his desk, so he was very curious:

How could this young man, who was always described in intelligence reports as "quite talented but mild-tempered and even a little cowardly," suddenly explode?

Could it be caused by the comment "slightly unstable personality"? No, there must be something else.

Putner was finally speechless until Colonel Fujiwara Kanezane, who had no idea how he had angered him, kept talking about the cause of the conflict.

Damn it, this guy just has a good father-in-law, otherwise he would have died long ago. Never mind, I didn't have any expectations for this idiot in the first place.

Get beaten?
