1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"Being misled and deceived by the Japanese, he made inappropriate remarks without the government's permission and undermined the country's plan to recover the Northeast."

He did not explicitly call Lu Xun a traitor (he didn't dare), but the meaning of this sentence is basically equivalent to "Lu Xun is not a traitor, but he is worse than a traitor."

Because it destroyed the "national plan"!

Hu Shi's words were tantamount to admitting the atrocities committed by the Nationalist army in the Northeast, but he felt that it was nothing big. The lives of ordinary people were far less important than the "national affairs."

Therefore, this kind of speech, like his statement after the "September 918th Incident" that he "advocated giving up the three northeastern provinces in exchange for peace", was met with overwhelming condemnation.

Even the "Conscious National Salvation Association" that Hu Shi had just joined was exposed - on the surface it was a national salvation organization, but in fact it promoted surrender ideas and advocated "autonomy" for the three northeastern provinces.

Now, regardless of whether there will be disciples and followers in the future to clean up his name, Mr. Hu has become a stinking piece of shit that everyone wants to beat up.

Even Chiang Kai-shek, who, after hearing about what happened in Northeast China, said, "I never thought the Japanese were so cruel that they actually distributed food and land to the people," could not help but complain privately to his staff:

"What is Hu Shih thinking? How can he say such things publicly? Obviously, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek doesn't care how many poor people die in the Northeast, but he is not so stupid as Mr. Hu to not even put in the effort.

However, Fujiwara no Kanezane did not give any chance for superficial efforts. The "Manchukuo Administrative Council" directly sent a formal note to the Nanjing government in the name of Empress Wanrong and the Manchukuo government, demanding the surrender of the murderer and compensation for the losses.

Otherwise, Manchukuo would not rule out the use of force to resolve the issue.

This note, which was open to the whole world, directly put the Chiang government in trouble.

The reason is not very complicated.

First, this is inherently just and righteous. Even Chinese outside Northeast China cannot say that the demands of "Manchukuo" are wrong. On the contrary, most people support it.

Secondly, the Northeast Counteroffensive was originally just a political show. After this incident, the counteroffensive became a complete joke. It also really angered the Japanese and may have led to the escalation of the war. The National Army was not prepared at all.

Thirdly, handing over the murderer and offering compensation would mean that the Chiang government admitted that it was its fault and sold out its base, which would cause dissatisfaction among the landlord class, so they could not hand it over;

But refusing to hand over the murderer and offer compensation? Haha.

Force, force.

Finally, Manchukuo had not yet been recognized by the Nanjing regime, so this note was actually illegal. However, this move made it difficult for the Chiang Kai-shek government to accept or reject it.

Accepting the note was equivalent to your formal recognition of the legitimacy of the "Manchukuo," which the Chiang Kai-shek government undoubtedly could not and would not accept;

Not accepting the note - Good fellow, your army has committed such atrocities against the people of Northeast China, and you don't even have the courage to solve the problem?

Therefore, whether the Chiang government accepts the note or not, hands over the murderer or not, their position will be very uncomfortable.

In this public confrontation, the Chiang Kai-shek government finally realized how difficult the young man was to deal with, and he couldn't shirk the blame!

Because Wang Jingwei, who was qualified to take the blame, had already left the country!

After much deliberation, the Nanjing government, while silencing the media and literary world, unexpectedly chose to send a note to the Japanese government, which had not yet declared war or severed diplomatic ties, demanding that both sides negotiate to resolve the matter!

Yes, from Chiang’s perspective, this would avoid the dilemma of “recognition or non-recognition” and “solution or non-solution”, and this is indeed the Sino-Japanese issue;

But the Japanese top brass are not stupid, and with advance instructions from Fujiwara no Kanezane, how could they possibly admit that this is a "Sino-Japanese issue" and then foolishly intervene?

The Japanese government immediately rejected Nanjing's note on the grounds that "this is an internal affair of Manchuria", and then dissed Chairman Chiang, "We urge the Chinese side to contact the Manchukuo government as soon as possible and deal with the aftermath of this inhumane incident."

So, things are back to square one.

On the one hand, the Manchukuo army deployed heavily on the border, sharpening their swords and publicly issuing a note demanding the surrender of the murderer and compensation for the losses;

On the one hand, the Nanjing regime was forced to remain silent in response to Manchukuo’s notes and threats, acting like a “dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water”;

The people are numb, completely numb.

The people in Northeast and North China are particularly upset. In their eyes, things are like this:

It is quite common for "one's own army" to massacre its own people, and that's fine;

It was actually "other countries' governments and armies" that provided assistance and justice to the survivors, which is fine, as we have seen this before;

However, even after the incident was exposed, "their own government" still stubbornly protected the murderer, refused compensation, suppressed public opinion, and diverted the topic...

Damn it! Who is our “own government” and “our own army”?

Oh, the one from Northeast China, right?

We can accept another Qing Dynasty!

In this way, with the strong "assistance" of Chairman Chiang, the people's hearts in Northeast and North China began to subversively lean towards "Manchukuo".

388 Your Highness! Lead us south!

"...Your Highness, congratulations. Now, the hearts of the people in the Northeast are in your hands!" Yang Yong...xin bowed to his master with a smile on his face. He was very proud that he could provide assistance in this highly successful "battle for the hearts of the people".

Although the main idea of ​​this series of public opinion attacks was proposed by Fujiwara no Kanezane, the refinement and execution of the details were the responsibility of people like Doihara Kenji and Yang Yongxin.

Seeing Yang Yongxin's smug look, Doihara Kenji hesitated to speak, while Fujiwara Kanezane simply shook his head and rebuked him slightly:

"What's there to celebrate? Those who died were people under my rule, and I haven't been able to get them justice yet... Is this something worth celebrating?"

"Uh...."

Yang Yongxin then noticed Kenji Doihara's expression and reminder, and quickly put on a serious face:

"Your Highness is kindhearted, I made a mistake." How could I be so stupid!

Even if this kind of thing is indeed an achievement, can it be regarded as such on the surface?

If you don't know, you might think that you think it's good for ordinary people to die!

Yang Yongxin really didn't care whether the common people lived or died, but he knew that Fujiwara Kanezane did care.

So, he must also "care".

E=('o`*)>)Alas... It's been so long since I've done anything good, I'm getting a little impatient... "Yeah."

Fujiwara no Kanezane then nodded and asked, "Has there still been no response from Nanjing?" "No."

Speaking of this, Yang Yongxin couldn't help but reveal a look of contempt:

"Your offensive is so fast and so intense. From what I understand, that person is not a quick thinker. It will probably take several days for him to come up with a suitable plan..."

Speaking of this, Yang Yongxin himself was amazed.

Fujiwara no Kanezane's tactics—one ring after another—are fine, but the key is "fast! fast! fast!"

Without giving the enemy any time to react, the situation has been brought to a point where the other party has to respond directly.

This style of play is not unheard of, but it is definitely very rare.

Because this poses a huge challenge to resource control, intelligence, action, influence and other aspects.

Apart from anything else, President Ma issued hundreds of flawless orders in one day. This is something no ordinary person can do!

I have to learn to adapt quickly, otherwise I will fall behind and be left behind.

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. Even if we can't force the Nanjing government to openly recognize Manchukuo, we'll make them lose face in the battle of public opinion!"

"Yes! I will definitely live up to your highness's trust!"

Yang Yongxin was overjoyed.

He is very confident that he can do this.

Because this time, it was an extremely rare case that the left and the right, the people and the government, the domestic and foreign, the enemy and the friendly forces all "united" to attack Chiang Kai-shek.

Even though it was just a media offensive, it had already made the other party feel overwhelmed and unable to continue.

Moreover, the offensive in public opinion is only one leg of the campaign. China... the people of the world are united!

Yang Yongxin left in a hurry with great interest. Doihara Kenji shook his head slightly:

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being blunt, but Mr. Yang is a bit too impatient."

"I know, everyone has their own personality. But in this case, his impatience is exactly what's needed."

Fujiwara no Kanezane smiled nonchalantly and changed the subject: "Okay, have the troops been assembled?"

"Yes... But, Your Highness, I still insist that you are the hope of all of Japan and Manchukuo. You should not go to the battlefield in person. It is too dangerous."

"Since ancient times, which founding emperor of a powerful dynasty did not personally lead the troops and brave the arrows and stones?"

Fujiwara no Kanezane picked up his military cap, put it on, and strode out the door.

"Just stay home and continue to fulfill your duties. This time, I will personally seek justice for my people!"

"Ha! I wish your highness good luck in military affairs!"

The carriages are light, the horses are neighing, the pedestrians are walking with bows... ahem, it's a different scene.

In short, when the tall and handsome "Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Army and Air Force" Fujiwara no Kanezane, wearing the brand new "Manchukuo General's Uniform," stood on the podium, the audience immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers:

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness!" "Victory! Victory! Victory!"

"Kaneshita-sama! Kanezane-sama! Kanezane-sama!"

The fanatical soldiers tried their best to shout out different words from their chests in different languages ​​and accents to express their admiration for the man on the stage.

This wasn't a rehearsed action, but rather a heartfelt outburst. Starting with the Japanese soldiers, it quickly led to the soldiers of the 386th Brigade nearby joining in the shouting!

The roar like a tsunami and the soaring spirit of loyalty made the Soviet Communist Party, Japanese Communist Party and Chinese Communist Party members hiding in the army look horrified and feel deeply depressed.

Since they were ordered to infiltrate, they have secretly done a lot of work and gained the recognition of the soldiers. Some of them were even promoted and moved to key positions, and obtained a lot of intelligence.

However, no matter what they do, even if they express anti-war and anti-war sentiments in the military, they will only be criticized or put in a dark room at best. But there is only one bottom line that must not be crossed:

Insulting Fujiwara no Kanezane.

It wasn't that Fujiwara no Kanezane himself disapproved, but rather that the soldiers themselves disapproved, including the Chinese soldiers of the 386th Brigade.

This group of soldiers are loyal, reliable, brave, have strong military skills, and treat the people well. Except that they do not have the name of Red Army on their heads, do not wear Red Army uniforms, and do not believe in communism, they are almost the Red Army.

However, they were also extremely loyal and loving to Fujiwara no Kanezane.

A party member once secretly tried to probe a junior officer who had great potential to be recruited into the Communist Party:

"What if someone wants to harm Lord Fujiwara?" The other party replied without hesitation, "Kill his entire family." Then he asked, "But this violates the laws of Manchukuo."

The other party still did not hesitate, "Even if it is illegal, I will kill his whole family"; at the end, he added "Otherwise my mother will beat me to death."

Such prestige made it extremely difficult for any "ill-intentioned" lurkers to develop in these armies, and no one could achieve any significant results.

No one is deliberately suppressing them, but they themselves dare not recruit party members! They dare not expand the organization!

Because no one can be sure what choice that "activist" who clearly meets the qualifications of a Communist Party member will make if his identity is revealed!

Chen Ying was riding on the horse, feeling a little worried.

He believed that Fujiwara no Kanezane was a member of the Communist Party, and believed in his ideals and beliefs. He also believed that the "performances" he was putting on were forced;

However, prestige is prestige after all, and it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of officers and soldiers;

When the need arises in the future, will this army follow the party or follow His Majesty Fujiwara?

Will there be any unexpected events during the "handover"? Never mind, let's just take it one step at a time!

Perhaps the World Revolutionary Party had already had a plan.

Fujiwara no Kanemune glanced gently at the more than 3,000 soldiers in the audience who had just completed the full change of uniforms, raised his hands, and the shouts immediately disappeared without a trace, and you could hear a pin drop at the scene.

What does it mean to be able to control something as easily as one's own arm? This is what it means to be able to control something as easily as one's own arm.

In today's pre-war speech, Fujiwara no Kanezane said a single word of nonsense:

"My fellow soldiers! Have you heard about the recent tragedy on the border and the innocent deaths of civilians?!"

The agent translated it into Japanese and conveyed it to the Japanese soldiers. "I heard it! Your Highness!"

"Are you angry?"

"Angry! Angry! Angry!" "What the hell are you angry about?" "Huh?"

Fujiwara no Kanezane's words confused everyone. What is your highness trying to do?

"It wasn't your family members who died. You say you're angry, but I don't believe it! You're just trying to please me!"

As he spoke, Fujiwara Kanezane pointed to the 4th Division next to him:

"You say you are angry? I don't believe it! The dead are Chinese, and the people who killed the Chinese are also Chinese. Why are the Japanese angry?"

Your Highness is still so...real...

If Kenji Doihara gives people the feeling of "sincerity", then Fujiwara Kanezane has always given people who have come into contact with him the feeling of:

reality.

He could talk, laugh, be happy, angry, sad, tease his friends, scold his enemies, behave like a true noble, and mingle with the lowest soldiers;

Anyway, it's not the humanoid statue in Tokyo. So, it feels very familiar.
