1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Besides, if I really did something reckless, the Party Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Manchuria would have killed me first... No, no, no, it was the Disciplinary Inspection Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Manchuria that killed me, a member of the Communist Party of China, first...

No! Still no!

It was the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Disciplinary Review Committee that first chopped off the head of a soldier like me, and then the Party organization dragged out a Party member like me and whipped my corpse!

What’s going on?

The two sides are clearly organizations of completely different natures and affiliations, so why are so many of their policies so similar or even identical?

Is it because all strong armies are like this?

Not only did Zhang Zongsun's head explode, but Zhao Qimin of the First Regiment and Li Da of the Third Regiment were also on the verge of schizophrenia.

These symptoms began to appear shortly after I went undercover in Manchukuo and joined the 386th Brigade, and they are now becoming more severe.

But relatively speaking, Zhao Qimin and Li Da's schizophrenia symptoms were better than Zhang Zongsun's.

After all, he had been a Red Army soldier since 27 and had worked in the Red Army for a long time, so he was quite familiar with the Red Army's system. So at first glance, the 386th Brigade seemed extremely confusing.

Of these two, one had been engaged in underground work for a long time, lurking in the cavalry regiment of the Xi'an Pacification Office as a platoon leader, after all, he had served in the old army;

A man who had just participated in the Ningdu Uprising the previous year and had just become the Chief of Staff of the 1st Independent Division of the Red Army and the Acting Commander of the 3rd Regiment, had barely even warmed his seat when he joined the Party on the front lines and was then thrown here, not participating in the "grievance meeting" reform;

Therefore, because they were basically exposed to completely "new things", they were just surprised and did not have many other feelings.

These people did not know each other and used pseudonyms, but because they were all from Shaanxi, they were almost connected by the name of "fellow villagers". The only thing left was to accidentally reveal their identities to each other one day.

However, what makes Zhang Zongshun better than them is that because he is very familiar with the Red Army, he can adapt to the puppet army of Manchukuo very quickly. It is a seamless transition and he is promoted very quickly.

Well, actually, because the 386th Brigade was newly established not long ago, various positions were vacant, and the screening mechanism was in place, people in the royal family were promoted very quickly, and those who climbed the fastest were basically Communist Party members.

In order to select this group of party members, Li Desheng, Wu Hao, Chen Kang, Fujiwara Kanezane and others took great pains, went to great lengths and devoted all their energy.

They should not know Chen Wei, Zhao Ziqi and others, and they should not know each other as much as possible;

One must be both courageous and resolute, yet calm and patient; one must be both lively and outgoing, yet reserved; one must be both agile and adaptable, yet firm in one's stance...

In addition, I have to provide identification information for each of them to ensure that there are no mistakes. Oh, how difficult it is...

After instructing Zhang Zongsun, Chairman Fujiwara gave a few more instructions to Li Da and Zhao Qimin, then turned his attention to a new brigade staff officer who had just been appointed by Chen Kang:

"Xu Quanzhong, right?"

(All the above are pseudonyms, but I won’t use them in case I forget them later, for example, writing “Brigade Commander Wang” as “Brigade Commander Chen”)

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Quanzhong, who has the typical appearance of a northwestern man, stood up straight and saluted.

Well, I've been a party member for 25 years. I participated in the Shaanxi National Defense Army, followed Feng Yuxiang, fought against Liu Zhenhua, ran the "Xi'an Huangpu", participated in the Weihua Uprising, went to Moscow, and was betrayed by a traitor in Tianjin.

After this year's Battle of Wuhan, he was released by the Kuomintang in accordance with the agreement between the two sides. After recuperating for a while, he reported to Li Desheng and was immediately sent to the Northeast.

He has experience in military command, school teaching, local construction, mass work, underground party experience, studying abroad, and even prison struggle. His experience is extremely rich.

He is a good seedling, no less than Chen Kui.

If he hadn't arrived a little late, he would actually be the most suitable person to take charge of Rehe. He's just a little older.

Fujiwara Kanezane's eyes swept over Xu Quanzhong, who seemed unusually nervous.

He was already 38 years old, yet he was sent to lurk in the puppet army in Northeast China. Xu Quanzhong himself was a little confused.

But the Party's orders are orders, and there are no conditions. Hopefully, I can pass the "assessment."

"Well, since Commander Wang said you're pretty good, I won't ask any more questions. Just work hard! Strive to realize the East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere!"

"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness!"

As he said this, Xu Quanzhong couldn't help but secretly glance at Chen Kui.

This person is truly trusted by "Lord Kanezane"...

Just because "Brigade Commander Wang values ​​you", so "I trust you"?

As expected, in the future, I have to follow Brigade Commander Wang closely and curry favor with him in order to climb to a higher position, obtain more intelligence, and provide assistance to the Party and the Red Army in defeating the Japanese invaders in the future.

It's a pity that a good Chinese, with a good temper, character and ability, would rather become a traitor?

After leaving Zhang Zongsun's Second Regiment in Chengde, His Majesty Fujiwara quickly led his army back to Shenyang. Along the way, the local people cheered and welcomed him. However, his father dismissed the army and flew to Tokyo without stopping.

Fujiwara no Kanezane - left, Li Da, the 22-year-old Chief of Staff of the Second Red Army, Chief of Staff of the 129th Division, Chief of Staff of the Central Plains Field Army, Chief of Staff of the Volunteer Army, and Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, "could not help" complaining:

"Your Highness is so biased! I'm the one who made the greatest contribution, killed the most enemies, and arrived in Chengde first. Why should Zhang Zongxun's Second Regiment stay behind to defend Chengde?"

The Second Regiment has the largest number of troops and the best equipment. We must find a way to drive out that Zhang guy and gain control of this unit for the Party to plan for the future.

Chen Geng didn't say anything.

There is nothing wrong with complaining to this extent, and no one would think that this is a sign of disrespect to Fujiwara no Kanezane.

Previously, there were common people who were thrown into prison because their families were killed by Japanese ronin. They insulted Fujiwara no Kanezane in the street and asked for death. However, when His Highness heard about it, he ordered people to investigate the facts, chop off the ronin's head, and then release the common people.

"Brigade Commander, when will you be promoted to commander of the 129th Division? That way I can become a brigade commander too."

Seeing that Chen Geng did not respond, Li Da rubbed his hands again, looking expectant:

"I heard that our 129th Division has another brigade numbered 385? Brigade Commander, I want to be the commander of the 386th Brigade in the future. 385th Brigade should be given to Lao Zhao!"

The head of the Third Regiment, Zhao Qimin, did not respond, but this time, Chen Kang could not bear it any longer and almost blurted out, "Is there any organizational discipline?" He said with a forced smile:

"Then I will give you the position of commander of the 386th Brigade now?"

"Hey? Has the brigade commander been promoted? Why didn't I hear about it? Congratulations!" "Li Da! If you still want to be the commander of the Third Regiment, shut up!"

Chen Kang slapped Li Da on the back of the head and cursed:

"Your Highness has the final say on who gets to be brigade commander and who doesn't. What the hell are you doing here arguing with me? You've only been a regimental commander for a few years and you're already getting cocky! Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!"

"

Li Da was silenced, but Zhao Qimin, 27, commander of the 2nd Red Independence Regiment, chief of staff of the 5th Detachment of the New Fourth Army, political commissar of the 34th Army of the People's Liberation Army, and deputy commander of the Navy, leisurely added:

"Haha, Brigade Commander, don't be angry. Commander Li is just too impatient. He wishes he had another three or four thousand men under his command so he could surpass you and become the division commander."

[This guy surnamed Li is from Shaanxi like me and isn't a bad person, but he's definitely unstable. We need to find a way to get rid of him quickly, or else things might get bad.]

[This time, this guy managed to win by relying on a fierce attack and a fierce charge, but what about next time?] [It would be heartbreaking if such a perfect army as the 386th Brigade was destroyed by the Nationalist army.]

"Zhao! You fucking..."

This bastard Zhao is always shady. Although he's from Shaanxi and has lived in Xi'an, no one had heard of him during the student movement. He even served in the army under Yang Hucheng. He must be a warlord's lackey.

[However, although this guy has always been treacherous and cunning in his words and actions, I haven't heard of him doing anything bad. At most, he just drank and had fun. So I won't kill him, I'll just find a way to get rid of him.]

"Both of you shut up!!"

Chen Li had a terrible headache, and he slapped everyone again:

"Dang...when His Highness needs it, we'll naturally arrange it! Stop the fucking internal strife with me! Your Highness and I both hate this—this—trick! I've said it so many times! Be open and honest!"

"You! You! You! You have nothing to do, right? Have you done any prisoner screening? Have you done any soldier comforting? Have you done any post-war debriefing? Have you written any propaganda articles? Have you done any work to unite the military and the people?"

"Get back to work!"

If Chen Kang was a warlord, he certainly wouldn't want harmony among his people, as that would be detrimental to his rule, but he wasn't.

So, what's the deal with their situation of party members fighting against each other?

Are you guys still secretly plotting to kill each other? Damn!

After driving away the two regimental commanders who were attacking each other and the staff officers and battalion commanders who were watching the fun, Chen Wei was about to have a good chat with Xu Quanzhong about the formal establishment of the 129th Division when someone came over to ask him:

"Commander Wang, Director Zhao invites you for a drink."

Soon after, in a house of the Shenyang branch of the Military Commission under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Manchuria.

"Ahem... The Great Manchukuo Empire of the Chinese Communist Party... Never mind. Anyway, let's have a meeting. First..."

Zhao Ziqi, Secretary of the Communist Party of China's Great Manchuria Empire Party Committee, member of the Manchuria Internal Affairs Committee, and Director of the National Highway Bureau, took a sip of red wine, then a bite of the chicken leg on the table, creating an atmosphere of "eating, drinking and having fun" before continuing:

"In addition to the routine briefings above, I feel the need to remind everyone of one other issue: Party members in Northeast China are attacking each other and fragmenting the Party's strength."

r

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Chen Geng, but also Chen Geng's wife Wang Genying, Zhao Ziqi's wife He Baozhen, and Luo Dengxian, the secretary of the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China who had just joined the new party committee, sat up straight and nodded heavily.

Obviously, everyone may have encountered similar problems. Zhao Ziqi said with a stern face:

"Director Luo, you need to get those people under you to tone it down. They're constantly exposing each other's shortcomings. Either I'm reporting you for drinking, or you're reporting me for not doing my job properly. It's starting to affect our work."

Well, Li Yaokui, Director of the General Affairs Department, Li Shi, Director of the First Technical Department, and Luo Dengxian, Director of the Second Department.

Well, they are all Communist Party members. Luo Dengxian was a little confused:

"I've always asked them to control the range, how come..."

"Their actions inspired others. I don't know if they were party members, but Doihara told me that I had also been anonymously reported for soliciting prostitution and violating His Highness's ban. They wanted to get me removed."

"puff..."

Chen Geng almost laughed out loud.

There was no other way. Being too honest would easily arouse suspicion, so Zhao Ziqi had to act a little - smoking, drinking, and going to brothels.

Was it reported as a result?

Laugh to death.

Wang Genying, who had already entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Labor Work Committee, glared at her husband fiercely and said something similar:

"I was also reported for contacting an unidentified person. I don't know which line he came from, because they didn't know it was Mr. Song. So the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked a few questions and then stopped talking."

"You are Chen Geng's wife, and you can't escape?"

"You can't escape. The Ministry of Internal Affairs' discipline is to treat everyone equally. It's said to be His Highness's death order, and Doihara is keeping a tight rein on it."

"Yes, if I hadn't produced evidence proving that I paid for it myself, didn't accept bribes, and simply hired someone to drink with me, and didn't do anything else wrong, Doihara would have probably filed a petition to take action against me."

"Well..."

Chen Kang was laughing again.

Why does this sound like corrupt officials discussing how to get away with it?

We are all bastards, and Doihara is the loyal and devoted Justice Bao to the emperor?

He Baozhen, the head of the Human Resources Department of Queen's Company, was particularly happy because she was reunited with her eldest son. She reported the situation on her side:

"After another round of purges in the palace, there's nothing left. There must be hidden Party members in the Queen's company as well. Recently, a number of people have been reported for embezzling public funds... This has caused Wanrong to become furious and even had a miscarriage..."

"Oh, by the way, Wang Yaqiao recently hired two young men to work at our Queen Company. One is called Shen Sui (a pseudonym) and the other is called Hu Di (a pseudonym). They're both pretty good-looking."

“…cough cough…”

Chen Kang...

"Chen Kang, what on earth have you been laughing at the whole time? Isn't everything peaceful over there in your 386th Brigade?! Are you itching for trouble again (Shanghainese)? Huh?!"

"Well...."

Not really.

After being scolded by his wife, Chen Kang coughed lightly:

"I think everyone shouldn't be too nervous. Although this incident has somewhat slowed down work efficiency and caused the organization's strength to be dispersed, it is currently under control and there won't be a situation of mutual slaughter."

"Having said that, we still need to find ways to control it and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs focus its energy on dealing with the real criminals, corrupt officials, and counter-revolutionaries, rather than us."

Zhao Ziqi shook her head:

"Also, it allows comrades to focus their energy on their own special tasks, rather than rooting out evil and engaging in speculation and attacks on each other."

"Yes, I think this exposes the danger of our party's organizational work in the Northeast failing. Otherwise, comrades wouldn't be in this situation."

"That's right. Don't forget, it's just our party right now. We don't know if the Soviet Union is involved, and the Japanese Communist Party is even less aware of it."

"Um...."

It is true.

Chen Kang pondered for a while and said:

"Well, I have two suggestions for you. 1. Immediately report the current situation to the Party Central Committee and ask them to issue orders to all departments..."

What everyone didn't know was that at this time, the number of party members who had been sent to work in the Northeast region had exceeded 500, most of whom came from the central government, and a small number came from Li Desheng and other places.

With someone's deliberate cooperation, these people quickly occupied various posts in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, adding a new wave of strength.
