1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

As soon as the translation was finished, the leading Japanese veteran started yelling, "Follow me! Kill them! These Chinese people will definitely not dare to shoot!"

As he said that, he strode towards the first one, and several veterans beside him followed suit.

Chinese? Shoot us?

Aren’t they afraid of the Kwantung Army? However, the veterans made a wrong bet. “Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The group of Chinese police opened fire without any hesitation. The veterans who were at the front were shot to pieces on the spot. They fell to the ground, bleeding profusely and twitching, which frightened the other veterans and Japanese immigrants.

They...they really opened fire...this group of Chinese really dared to open fire...wait a minute.

Are we Japanese or are they Japanese?

Something is wrong!!!

Where's the Kwantung Army? Please save them!!

Several Japanese military police who were less than 300 meters away from the venue heard the gunshots, but they just looked up and continued their patrol lazily.

How should I put it, just kill the habit.

"Drop your weapons! Surrender now!!"

This time, Wang Yaqiao's roar worked instantly. The veterans hesitated for less than a second, and when they saw the policemen reloading their weapons, they quickly threw their knives and weapons to the ground and were tied up obediently.

No one wanted to die in such an unclear manner on their first day in Manchukuo. "See? This is the consequence of violating the laws of Manchukuo, personally enacted by His Highness Prince Kanezane!"

Wang Yaqiao pointed at the arrested criminals and shouted:

"It's a waste of life to die. The rest of us are destined to be taken away and forced into hard labor!"

The Japanese immigrants suddenly realized, and the surviving Japanese veterans were almost crying. Damn it, you should have told me that there was something about His Highness Prince Kanezane!

You told us earlier that we would never commit suicide!

It turns out those heads were taken because they violated His Highness's orders!

The name "Fujiwara no Kanezane" or "Hachimangu Kanezane-no-Ou" is now known to everyone in Japan.

It was this man who negotiated a contract that was extremely favorable to Japan;

It was this person who stabilized the chaotic situation before and after the establishment of Manchukuo;

It was this man who defeated the "National Salvation and Anti-Japanese United Army" that had greatly humiliated Japan and pacified Northeast China;

It was this man who used his own land and money to provide welfare to the Japanese people and reduce rent and interest for the families of serving soldiers.

It was this person...

Not to mention that there was a certain Fujiwara father secretly promoting his son, even if there was no such thing, Fujiwara Kanezane already had a considerable degree of fame in Japan;

Moreover, since who knows when, rumors have quietly spread among the people, saying that this person is very likely to become the future Emperor...

Therefore, as soon as Fujiwara no Kanezane's name was mentioned, the Japanese present's disdain and dissatisfaction with Wang Yaqiao, a Chinese, immediately disappeared.

Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. Besides, this "monk" really dares to kill people, and he has the support of His Highness Prince Kanezane, so it's okay to kill him.

The buzzing scene suddenly became quiet.

Seeing that his show of force was indeed effective, Wang Yaqiao sighed inwardly that the guy's name was indeed very useful and continued his lecture:

"I say it again! Since you have come to Manchukuo, you must abide by its laws and regulations, work hard, and strive hard!"

"His Highness will never mistreat anyone who obeys his will! The Manchukuo Ministry of Internal Affairs will also keep an eye on everyone in the entire Northeast region for His Highness!"

"My speech ends here. The logistics team will come out to clean up the mess! Now, please allow President Ma Shiling, the First Consul of Manchukuo, to speak. Everyone, welcome!"

No one in the audience applauded. It was as quiet as a chicken. Wang Yaqiao felt a little embarrassed and shouted, "Applause! You are all deaf!!"

After a while, some people began to applaud sparsely under the leadership of the staff.

It’s not that they have any objections, it’s just that everything seems so unfamiliar, and the bloody scene just now scared them to death, and now they don’t know what to do.

"Alright, alright, Commissioner Wang, we've all just arrived here and aren't familiar with the situation yet. Don't be so rude all the time!"

Interpreter UMP40 smiled and "stopped" Wang Yaqiao from playing the villain, and played the villain against the backdrop of the police arresting people and dragging corpses:

"Dear Japanese immigrants, hello everyone. I am Ma Shiling, the First Consul of Manchukuo or Chief Executive of the Government. The title doesn't matter. In short, all the current government affairs of Manchukuo must pass through my hands..."

"My other identity is that of a maidservant to His Highness Prince Kanezane. His Highness has entrusted me with arranging your work and daily lives after arriving in Manchukuo..."

Such a beautiful and gentle woman came on stage to speak, and immediately formed a very gentle and amiable good impression on people, diluting the negative impact of Wang Yaqiao's rude behavior;

The identity she introduced made everyone feel more respect and fear for her.

She looks so young, and she's a woman, but she's already become the "Prime Minister" of Manchukuo?

this...

Aren't the Prime Ministers a bunch of old men who deserve to be punished by Heaven? Some smart people are speculating in their hearts:

Could it be that because she was a maidservant of Prince Kanezane...

After the customary welcome, UMP40 began to educate everyone about the basic system, legal construction, social system and related requirements of Manchukuo.

Although the immigrants were somewhat confused, they still understood the key point that was most relevant to them, which was what the Japanese veterans had just verified with their lives:

The law must be obeyed!

Must obey management!

You must not go against His Highness's will!

Otherwise, His Highness will not care whether you are Japanese, Chinese, Russian, European or American, you will be treated the same!

If you don't believe me, you can carefully identify those hanging heads and see what nationalities and races they belong to!

"...In Manchukuo, we already have fairly comprehensive laws at this stage. From His Highness to Her Majesty, from the top down to the grassroots, everyone must strictly abide by them."

UMP40 smiled and pointed at Wang Yaqiao next to him and said:

"Including him. Don't be fooled by his evil face, but he would never kill, beat, or cause trouble for others at random. Otherwise, he would be punished. I'm not kidding."

Wang Yaqiao's face was tense, as if some part of his body would hurt if he didn't do this.

"...In short, since we have come to Manchukuo, we have arrived in a new world. This world may not be perfect in every way, but at least it is a place where rules and principles are respected, and where as long as you work hard, you can live a good life;"

"Under the leadership of His Majesty Prince Kanezane, Manchukuo is undergoing large-scale reform and construction. There are many job opportunities. If you are interested, you can register at the Labor Bureau under the Manchukuo government..."

"If you're bullied, you can file a complaint with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the police, the 386th Brigade, the 4th Division, or any other organization, institution, or department... Don't worry, someone will definitely handle it."

With the help and comfort of Wang Yaqiao and UMP40, the first batch of Japanese immigrants arriving in Northeast China were indeed much more well-behaved than before, and they were very cooperative in the subsequent registration, photo archiving, identity verification and other related work.

Then, they were led to their temporary residences in batches by joint working groups composed of soldiers from the 4th Division and the 386th Brigade.

On the way, someone approached these soldiers to chat, and the topic was naturally what happened today:

"...Has Manchukuo always been like this? No matter who they are, as long as they commit a crime, they will be killed?"

"It's not as if they were all killed!"

A soldier from the Japanese Fourth Division named Masao Kawatani laughed heartily and said, "Your Highness's decree is very clear. Which crimes are punishable by death, which by imprisonment, and which by beating... If you follow it, you won't make any mistakes. As for me, those who were killed, just like those just now, deserved it!"

As he spoke, a sense of gloating came over him, and he had no sympathy at all for his "former colleagues" and "former seniors".

Someone murmured their dissatisfaction:

"Your Highness is too inconsiderate of our people..."

After saying this, he realized that this was suspected of "slandering the king" and quickly covered his mouth. Kawatani Masao and the soldiers of the 386th Brigade beside him glanced at the speaker with dissatisfaction. The former snorted coldly:

"Don't worry, Your Highness is merciful. In Manchukuo, no one is sentenced for speaking nonsense, but my family and I have received great favors from Your Highness. If you continue to speak without restraint, I will give you a beating even if I have to spend a few days in solitary confinement."

The soldier from the 386th Brigade kindly reminded him in halting Japanese:

"In Manchukuo, if you don't insult His Highness intentionally, you won't be guilty. However, if you insult His Highness and others hear you, you might be beaten..."

Then he added:

"The commander of our brigade was pointed at and cursed at in the street last time, but he didn't pursue the matter. Don't worry, in Manchukuo, the higher-ups are generally very polite and tolerant."

Masao Kawatani echoed his teammates:

"Those officers who were rude to others and beat and scolded their subordinates and soldiers were either driven back to Japan or hanged on the flagpole."

The air was silent for a moment, and the immigrants didn't know what to say.

In order to liven up the atmosphere and complete the task, Kawatani Masao ostentatiously pulled out a small piece of metal from his pocket and waved it in front of everyone, proudly teasing them:

"You guys, do you know what this is?" Damn it! Damn Osaka guys!

Isn't it just that I surrendered to His Majesty early? Isn't it just that I was lucky enough to be born in Osaka? Isn't it just that I joined the 4th Division? Isn't it just that...

Damn, it's getting more and more sour. Someone said:

"This is...what a beautiful thing! What is it?" "This is my ID card!"

Masao Kawatani proudly handed the exquisite stainless steel ID card to others

"Your Highness personally supervised this! This proves my citizenship as a Manchukuo citizen! Only those who are most obedient to Your Highness and have made contributions to the development of Manchukuo can obtain this!"

Everyone passed it around and looked at it, and they were all amazed and praised His Highness's generosity and magnanimity.

However, although this thing is good, what practical use does it have besides proving identity and showing off?

"What's the actual effect?"

Masao Kawatani hummed and waved his ID card:

"With this ID card, you are a citizen of Manchukuo! You can buy things in all state-owned stores in Manchukuo at only 6-8% of the original price!"

"You are protected by the armed forces of Manchukuo. If anyone infringes upon your legal rights, you can seek help from the army and police at any time!"

"As long as you have this ID card, you can live in a good house first, eat good food first, and enjoy a good life first. You will be the most comfortable person in Manchuria!"

"

Listening to Masao Kawatani and the soldier surnamed Chen bragging about every aspect of Manchukuo, those who had been skeptical just now gradually believed it and showed envious expressions.

When the immigrants were sent to the "tube-shaped buildings" with bright windows, shelter from wind and rain, and even beds and running water in the rooms, painted white and clean, they became even more convinced that they could live a good life in the Northeast.

These conditions are a hundred times better than our shack in Japan! Just listen to His Majesty!

Just obey His Highness Kanezane! Just follow His Highness's rules!

The immigrants happily moved into this new house, which they were said to be able to live in for free for three years. They carefully studied the various equipment and facilities inside and outside the room, and did not get tired of it until dark.

In the shadows, dozens of immigrant teams gathered their members in a room, set up sentries, and quietly held a meeting:

"The first meeting of the 13th Bishopric of the Almighty Gospel Church in Manchukuo... The first agenda item is to discuss whether His Highness Prince Kanezane is the living God prophesied by His Highness the Saint. If so, how should we pledge our loyalty?"

On the other side, after the immigrants were safely delivered, several Chinese and Japanese soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They each took out a small notebook from their pockets and looked at each other:

"This time, everyone agrees that the mission is accomplished, right?"

In Kawatani Masao's team, there were not only Japanese and Chinese, but also a Russian who had defected early and a Korean. When they heard the captain's words, they all nodded:

"Agreed!" "Agreed!" "No problem." "Okay."

Kawatani Masao took out the notebook:

"Then please sign each other's names to certify this, and then submit it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for review." The soldiers signed each other's names, completing the mission.

"Another 3 points..."

Kawatani Masao stretched and said with a smile:

"Brothers, you've all worked hard. We don't have any other tasks today. How about I treat you all and we go have a drink?"

"I agree!"

"Good!" "Captain, you are so proud!"

"As expected of a captain who married a rich woman!" "Fuck you..."

The soldiers cheered and joked, walking arm in arm towards the tavern. Their harmonious appearance made it impossible to tell that they belonged to different countries or were even enemies.

Because, that prince had emphasized that in Manchukuo, there was no so-called distinction between "nationality" and "race". Everyone was the same and he treated everyone equally, so there was not even an item called "nationality" on the identity card.

Although they were not used to it at first, as their interests became more and more connected and they cooperated with each other more and more, they gradually adjusted.

The armies directly under Fujiwara no Kanezane have changed the fastest and most profoundly. Recently, they have been broken up and have been working together to complete tasks more and more frequently.

Regarding Fujiwara no Kanezane's actions in Northeast China, the officers and soldiers all had their own thoughts, but they all had one thing in common:

Obey orders, work hard, build Manchukuo into a solid base for His Highness Kanezane, and ultimately help His Highness ascend the throne!

what?
