1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

The reason why the current Manchukuo Ministry of Internal Affairs is so powerful and why it almost immediately overwhelmed and replaced the original Manchukuo political system upon its establishment has a lot to do with the fact that it is full of CCP members.

Because, I wouldn't say all of these people, but at least the vast majority of them came to the revolution with the ideal of saving the country and the people. Whether in terms of learning ability or dedication, they are top-tier elites.

Just as Qian Zhuangfei and others had anticipated, as long as the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs and the entire Manchukuo were filled with CCP members, it would be difficult for the enemy to detect any abnormalities.

After all, they all have the same "red smell". Only when you can smell something abnormal is it called "abnormal", and it will make the person who discovers the abnormality doubt whether he or she is the abnormal one.

Among a group of honest and dedicated cadres, a guy like Zhao Ziqi suddenly appeared, a guy who "ate, drank, gambled and whored", if you were in his place, you would report him too.

This would have been great, but the problem was that, in order to ensure absolute safety, most of these party members were connected through single lines, resulting in more than 200 hidden lines, which were bound to conflict with each other.

In order to ensure its own safety, this line wants to expel or even kill the other line...

Therefore, it is time to unify "thoughts", correct "mistakes", reorganize and stop "internal fighting".

By the way, in addition to the Chinese Communist Party, there were also a small number of Japanese Communist Party members and Soviet Communist Party members mixed in to stir up trouble.

I'll talk about this later, anyway it's very "messy".

"2. I'll talk to Doihara and see if he can agree to recruit more Chinese people to join the Disciplinary Review Commission as grassroots review cadres. I can take this opportunity to squeeze our cadres in and slightly control the scope."

"He will agree to this?"

"Fujiwara...His Highness Fujiwara has always thought so. Doihara and I just need to have a few more drinks and settle this matter sooner rather than later."

"Oh, yes..."

.…."

Luo Dengxian couldn't help it:

"Hey, you say, that Fujiwara no Nakadashi, could he be a member of the Japanese Communist Party?" Otherwise, why do so many of his policies have a "socialist" flavor?

".."

The two couples in the room frowned, and Chen Kuisa curled his lips and said,

"Are you dreaming? A member of the Japanese royal family is a member of the Communist Party? Haven't you read 'Class Analysis'? He's the leader of the Japanese militarist ruling group who will be liquidated in the future! And he's one of the first to be liquidated!"

Zhao Ziqi quickly interjected:

"He's just a broad-minded and kind person, but he's far from meeting the standards of a Communist Party member. You can't expect someone who wants to be the emperor of China to be a Party member, right?"

He Baozhen followed:

"I think so too. He's a good person, but we can't pin our hopes on him. He hasn't discovered our plans yet. If he did, it's hard to say what an old feudal noble would think."

Wang Genying added:

"That's right. The Japanese royal family is still the Japanese royal family. We must not entertain the idea of ​​recruiting him as a party member. Otherwise, it could cause serious problems."

The four people who were ordered by the central government to keep Fujiwara no Kanezane's identity absolutely secret all came together and finally dispelled Luo Dengxian's doubts, but he still sighed:

"To be honest, this isn't just my opinion. I've noticed that many party members share similar thoughts. If there's a reckoning in the future, they... well, I even think he shouldn't be reckoned, or at least shouldn't die..."

"Let's not worry about this for now. Let's listen to the decision of the Party Central Committee!" "Okay..."

After the report of the "CCP Great Manchuria Empire Party Committee" was submitted, Wu Hao and Li Desheng were also a little embarrassed.

It's still possible...

After a while of discussion, they made a decision and managed to secretly inform all party members. In short, it was this:

Remember your identity as a member of the Communist Party of China, and make collecting intelligence and learning knowledge and skills your top priority. Without orders from your superiors, stay hidden quietly and regard yourself as a true Manchukuo cadre.

Only then did the officialdom of Manchukuo become a little more "harmonious".

However, some people misunderstood the meaning because of the excessive "discretionary power": "...think of yourself as a true Manchukuo cadre? That means you must obey Fujiwara no Kanezane's orders, perform well, and build Manchukuo well?"

In that case, according to His Excellency Kanezane's philosophy, the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and the core ideas of the Three Represents...

"I understand!" "Uphold justice!" "Save the people!" "Crack down on crime!" "Clean up corruption!" "Report illegal activities!" "Step up efforts!"

After a while, senior officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs held a meeting.

"...Zhao Jun, why were you reported again? Oh, by the way, Wang Sang, don't laugh, you've been reported too."

Two people broke through the defense.

393 Only the Army Red Deer was injured in the world completed

Leaving aside the question of how the CCP in Northeast China adjusted for its earlier "mistakes," a certain prince, having just returned to Tokyo and planning to report to the Emperor before sailing to the United States, encountered trouble.

"Alright, Kanezane, I know you're concerned about the Empire and don't have time to accept the public's cheers, but the Army is very dissatisfied with what you did this time."

Facing Hirohito's sigh and reminder, Fujiwara no Kanezane just sneered:

"Hmph, what do those idiots know about national affairs? All they think about is their own military achievements, and they never consider the overall situation!"

Why was the army dissatisfied with Fujiwara no Kanezane?

The reason was simple - this time, Fujiwara no Kanezane did not allow the Japanese Army to participate in the "Battle of Rehe" and did not even allow them to step out of the "border".

Therefore, many people in the army felt that such a good opportunity to gain military merit did not allow the Japanese to gain merit, but actually allowed a group of Chinese to show off their wealth!

Therefore, they all ran to Hirohito to complain, and at the same time, they also intentionally or unintentionally made some slanderous remarks - "The Chinese army is so powerful, is it possible that it will get out of control?", "His Highness Kanezane's power is getting stronger and stronger" and so on.

Of course, His Majesty Hirohito was not his mentally retarded father, and there was no way he would be so foolish as to believe such divisive words;

In fact, he strongly agreed with the general principles that Fujiwara no Kanezane had reported to him before launching this campaign:

This is a matter between Manchukuo itself and the Nationalist government. No other forces, including Japan, should (openly) get involved!

That's right, with the League of Nations report about to be released, Japan must not give anyone an excuse to complain!

As a result, everything that happened later was exactly as Fujiwara no Kanezane had reported and predicted:

The war was won, Rehe was "recovered", the treaty was signed, and the compensation was received: the strategic situation improved, and no country in the international community jumped out to accuse Japan of wrongdoing.

Because the Japanese army really did not appear in Rehe or even along the Great Wall. Those who fought against the Chinese army were all Manchukuo troops, all Chinese!

The Japanese government even rejected the Chinese government's "unreasonable request" to intervene and "mediate" the war. What else can you say about me?!

This is the profit gained from a legal perspective, but from a practical perspective, in the entire Rehe Campaign, the Japanese king invested almost nothing, yet he won every step of the way. There is no better way to play the game than this!

So this is what Fujiwara no Kanezane meant by the benefit of "fighting proxy wars"!

Hirohito also strengthened his future "war strategy against China" because of this - unless it was an all-out war, the Japanese army and even the entire Japan should never personally take part in it again!

If you really want to participate personally, that's fine, but first, everyone should become "Manchukuo Army"! In any case, I will not allow anyone to have room to complain!

In a nutshell - avoid Japan's direct involvement in the war, and instead use China's money to arm the Chinese to fight the Chinese!

However, Hirohito was the Emperor, and he considered the interests of the entire Japan, so he thought so and supported Fujiwara no Kanezane's approach. But what about the army?

The Army doesn't think so.

After learning that Fujiwara no Kanezane had "only" taken Rehe, and had refused to cross the Great Wall, take Beiping, and even withdrawn his troops when the National Army's support troops were not deployed in place, they were furious!

You actually gave up a great opportunity to take over the entire Beiping area and even the entire North China region and expand the war against China?

what?

You said the 386th Brigade was undermanned and couldn't capture Peking even if they crossed the Great Wall, nor could they hold it even if they did?

Don’t we still have the Japanese Army? Don’t we still have the Kwantung Army?

Let's not talk about other troops for now. Are those 10,000 or 20,000 people from the Merchant Division just going to sit there and eat shit? At least they can occupy part of the Great Wall defense line, right?

what?

The 4th Division was a "guest army" and could not participate in the war against China?

We've come this far, and you're still being so hypocritical?? What?

We need to consider the overall national strategy? What?

With insufficient troops, forcibly occupying the Great Wall defense line or even attacking Peking would only result in a fuel war with heavy casualties.

what?

At present, neither the Kwantung Army nor the Japanese mainland are ready for a full-scale war with China?

I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen!!!

Anyway, since you missed such a good opportunity to expand the war, you are a sinner of our army...ahem...the country!

Whether now or in the future, everyone says "Army idiots" and "Army idiots", which is actually very reasonable - because they are a group of idiots who completely do not consider strategic goals.

What is the war for? I don’t know.

Just fight anyway!

As long as I can get a promotion and a raise now, I don't care what happens after I die!

To put it bluntly, the dissatisfaction of the army's top brass is actually their dissatisfaction with the suppression of their intention to "go it alone" and the further restriction of their power, which had already successfully expanded;

This is a problem that has continued since Fujiwara no Kanezane came to power in the Northeast and was finally completely triggered by the "Battle of Rehe".

Obeying orders, strictly observing military discipline, not allowing massacres, not allowing looting... not allowing this, not allowing that, in itself makes the warmongers and anti-human elements in the White Army very irritated;

This time, they even forbid me from personally participating in the war and expanding the war, which is the most important thing!

To be honest, if Fujiwara no Kanezane had not been of noble status and had gained the support of some people in the country and the army, someone would have jumped out to "punish the traitor from heaven."

Prince?

The Emperor can't be killed!

Hirohito was also very clear about this, so he would not fulfill the wishes of the army, whom he had always wanted to control, and end up suppressing the only royal official who could help him suppress the army.

However, the army is strong after all, and their emotions cannot be ignored;

After all, they might be needed in the future if the war escalates; it wouldn't be good if they were pushed too far and an assassination attempt occurred. "...So, how do you plan to deal with this gang?"

”..”

"Your Highness!" "Your Highness Kanemi!" "Your Highness Hachimannomiyahata!"

When Fujiwara no Kanezane walked into the conference room, everyone except the Emperor had arrived. When they saw him, they stood up and bowed with respect.

You have to know that this is a meeting of the Imperial Court plus an expanded meeting of the Cabinet. Those who are qualified to attend are all important ministers and close officials from the Parliament, the government, the army, the navy, and the upper class of the country!

For example, Prime Minister Saito Makoto, Finance Minister Takahashi Korekiyo, Foreign Minister Uchida Yasuya, the Minister of Navy and Army and the Vice Minister, Vice Speaker of the House of Peers Konoe Fumimaro, former Chairman of the Political Development Council Mori Satoru, Seiyukai President Suzuki Kisaburo, and so on...

No matter how noble their status or how old they were, they all showed utmost respect to Fujiwara no Kanezane without exception.

Even the high-ranking army officers who had strong opinions about Fujiwara no Kanezane were no exception, and they even had to behave more humble than ordinary people.

There was no way around it. This "Rehe Victory" not only shocked the entire Chinese, but the Japanese were actually even more shocked. Almost the entire nation was shouting "Unbelievable! The company won!"

In just less than a week, including the time of the march, with just over 10,000 troops and hundreds of aircraft, they defeated 20 Chinese armies, captured Chengde, occupied Rehe, and approached the Great Wall defense line...

The most important thing is that the cost of the action is almost nothing, while the final benefits are so huge that they make your balls tremble!

The entire Rehe Province fell into their hands effortlessly! God bless you, when has Japan ever fought a war with such a high return ratio? If His Majesty Taisho were to be resurrected, he would probably understand how amazing this achievement is! If Emperor Meiji were to be reborn, he would probably cry after seeing the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War and then looking at this!

In comparison, the proud feat of the Japanese Kwantung Army last year, which used more than 20,000 people to drive out the Northeast Army and take over Manchuria, suddenly became dim.

To be honest, the Kwantung Army caused such a big mess in Northeast China, but in the end it was His Majesty Fujiwara who helped to clean up the mess!

So, no matter how unhappy the army was with Fujiwara no Kanezane's prohibition on them from expanding the war and prohibiting them from personally participating in the war, if they dared to be disrespectful on the surface, then guess who would be "punished by heaven"?

“Hello everyone… Hello everyone…”

Because there were so many people, Fujiwara no Kanezane couldn't greet everyone one by one, so he could only nod with a smile and then sit down below the emperor's seat.

After a while, Hirohito walked in leisurely, glanced at Fujiwara Kanezane and the others, and coughed lightly:

"Ahem... Now that everyone's here, let's have a meeting... to report on the Rehe Campaign and make follow-up decisions!"

Everyone sat up straight, and then turned their gaze to Fujiwara Kanezane, who spoke simply:

"Please wait for the official report later for the full details of this battle. I will only describe how I captured Chengde and captured Tang Yulin with 128 soldiers..."

Everyone's ears were perked up.

This is the biggest doubt and highlight of this battle. Almost everything that follows is for this purpose. As for things like "a certain Chinese army surrendered again", it is not worth mentioning at all.

When the news reached Japan, everyone's first reaction was that Lord Fujiwara might have learned bad things from the army idiots and was just bragging, and they refused to believe it at all.

Leading more than a hundred people all the way from Shenyang to break through or quietly cross the defense line of hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops, then capture Chengde and capture Tang Yulin?

How many dishes did you have to drink like this?

Hirohito didn't believe it at first, but what happened later proved that Fujiwara no Kanezane was not lying.

He really was in Chengde! He really caught those people! How did he do it?
