1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Kim Il-sung is a typical example of this, and the future "Korean Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army" also came from this. Fujiwara no Kanezane simply accelerated this process.

Then, facing the surging refugee tide and the deteriorating security environment, His Highness ordered a blockade on the border between Manchukuo and Korea and made the following regulations:

You can come in, but you must be able to speak Chinese fluently, pass the Chinese language test, give up all North Korean living habits, abide by the law, and fully integrate into the Manchukuo system, otherwise you will be deported.

Therefore, a strange sight appeared in the Sino-North Korean border area:

In addition to receiving rewards for reporting illegal immigrants, countless Koreans desperately learned to speak Northeastern dialect in order to enter Manchukuo or even obtain Manchukuo identity. This also gave rise to a "foreign teacher industry" that hired Chinese to teach Koreans to speak Chinese.

So far, His Majesty Fujiwara said that he had no idea where these "foreign teachers" came from, and he had no idea why some of these "foreign teachers" suddenly became "examiners".

In short, when this policy came out, the Japanese liked it, the Chinese liked it, and the North Koreans suffered for half a second. But when they looked at the distribution of land, houses and food in the border villages, they drooled with envy and began to like it.

Before the full de-Sinicization in later generations, North Korea always regarded itself as "Little China", and learning Chinese was a must for the upper class, and the middle and lower classes were proud of knowing Chinese, right? (In fact, Japan is the same)

Except for typical nationalists like Kim Il-sung, ordinary North Koreans are just people who make a living. Who the hell would consider themselves a North Korean if they were given a bite to eat?

Lord Fujiwara gave us a chance to live, and we are grateful to him. Who cares about our nationality or identity?

Is Manchukuo bad?

As for whether the "Korean restorationists" and the "remnants of the yangban aristocracy" are happy or not, that's none of Mark/Fujiwara no Kanezane's business.

Go away, stick!

420 Marriage is a matter of state

In early December 1932, His Majesty Hachiman finally returned to his loyal Japan, met with His Majesty the Emperor, and gave him a brief yet comprehensive report on a series of recent major achievements.

"...Kaneshi, you've been really hard-working during this period." "Why should I be hard-working? Your Majesty is the one who's really hard-working..."

Seeing Hirohito becoming increasingly thinner and paler, Fujiwara no Kanezane could no longer hold back.

Even though he gave himself the little blue pill, this bastard used it too harshly, didn't he?

Eat it as a meal?

No, someone has to give him some tonic, so that this guy won’t kill himself.

At least not now.

By the way, in addition to the blue pill, Fujiwara Kanematsu's new factory also produced a red pill with double the dosage and double the price, making a lot of money.

"Are you mocking me, kid?"

Perhaps because he had been in contact with Fujiwara no Kanezane for a long time, Hirohito could also hear some of the "hidden meaning" of the other party. He scolded him with a smile but did not get angry:

"Don't worry, at least until we see the formation of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere..."

"Your Majesty, I'm not saying that." Fujiwara Kanezane curled his lips;

"You don't have to tie yourself down to Sister Liangzi. I already have several women. It's not a big deal if you secretly find someone who can give birth and try again..."

"You..."

Hirohito was very moved.

Look, look, this is what someone who has no ambition for the throne, has an open mind and truly cares about him would say.

But, perhaps because of this, Xiao Jianshi thought some issues were simple.

Marriage among the royal family, especially His Majesty the Emperor, has never been just a matter between a man and a woman!

Who is Liangzi?

His father was Prince Kunimiya Kunihiko, the third son of Prince Kunimiya Asahiko, a direct descendant of the imperial family and an army general, and his mother was the seventh daughter of Shimazu Tadayoshi, the twelfth Duke of Satsuma. His political weight can be imagined.

Back then, when Yamagata Aritomo wanted to interfere with Hirohito and Yoshiko's marriage, it was regarded as "Choshu Domain's intention to prevent Satsuma from joining the Domain and dominate the court itself";

This triggered a strong backlash from the imperial family, Satsuma Domain and Kunimiya family. The Kunimiya family even threatened to commit suicide as an extremely undignified method, which finally prevented the engagement from being forcibly cancelled.

Now, after finally securing his position thanks to his own skills and the significant achievements of Fujiwara no Kanezane, Hirohito is now going to marry a concubine?

What do you think Liangzi and the people behind her will think?

If you marry someone from Satsuma, the people from Choshu will cause trouble; if you marry someone from Choshu, Satsuma will probably rebel; if you marry a commoner?

It is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to marry a commoner because that would shake his foundation. Even if he wants to play with a commoner woman, he has to do it secretly to avoid causing a scandal in the royal family.

Sometimes I think about it, I really envy the little guy who has no interest in the throne, so he can play around and say and do whatever he wants.

Hirohito shook his head inwardly. To avoid dwelling on his own health, family, and offspring, he shifted the topic to Fujiwara no Kanezane:

"Come to think of it, Kanemi, you'll be 21 in just over half a month, right? Aren't you still considering marriage?"

"Me? I don't want to think about it for now. It's so comfortable to be alone..."

"This is a very serious matter. Don't try to distract me from it. At this point, your marriage is a matter of great importance to the future of the country and cannot be taken lightly..."

"Uh... well... let me think..."

Mom, I can’t delay any longer...

When he was a political nobody, not many people cared about who Fujiwara no Kanezane would marry. But since he came to power in the Northeast, such voices have become more and more numerous, and the pressure has become greater.

In fact, things like "letters of self-recommendation" were almost filling up the warehouses of the Tokyo Imperial Palace, the Fujiwara clan's old residence in Kyoto, and the Shenyang Imperial Palace. All the noble ladies in Tokyo or their parents had ideas.

But, at the beginning of the year, he still needed Wanrong's presence to help stabilize the people of Northeast China and to make money from the Boman people. Now Wanrong herself is of no value, let alone the noble ladies in Tokyo?

Sorry, if you ask Mark to marry a so-called "royal lady" with a big face like Hirohito's wife, he would rather have his penis enlarged by hand.

"Do you have any ideas? If not, I can order the Saga family to be promoted to a higher position and make your lover the principal wife."

"If I had to say, I do have some ideas."

Upon hearing this, Hirohito understood that the Saga family was out of the game;

Although he didn't quite understand why Saga Hiro was not chosen as the principal wife by Fujiwara no Kanezane.

I heard that woman is controlling the underworld in Tokyo, Japan for Kanemachi, right?

Although her mother's family is a little bit inferior, Saga Hiro should be considered a very good wife, right?

Forget it, if you don’t understand something young, don’t force yourself to understand it.

Anyway, Xiao Jianshi had his own thoughts. "So what are your thoughts?"

"I plan to marry a foreign woman, preferably a Chinese woman, as my principal wife." "Oh, so you want to marry...eh?"

Hirohito was so shocked that he couldn't help but sit up on his knees:

"Chinese woman? Are you crazy? Are you planning to marry the Queen of Manchukuo? Are you..."

"Your Majesty, please listen to me... ahem, please listen to me and tell you in detail." Fujiwara Kanezane coughed lightly.

"Your Majesty, as you know, I have always advocated the annexation of China, but not through the foolish method of conquering with force. Instead, we must adopt some circuitous, tactful, and gentle means..."

Hirohito nodded.

As a "Japanese emperor" who was not "the emperor of Japan who holds the supreme power and is the state", he actually did not care much about the means of annexing China.

As long as it can bring enough benefits to himself, the royal family and Japan, and as long as the method is proven to be effective, he is willing to support it, whether it is to massacre all the Chinese or to win them over through appeasement.

It just so happened that Fujiwara no Kanezane's methods were so effective and efficient that he basically pacified Manchuria in just a few months and also won the hearts of the people to the Japanese side. Who else could do it?

As for how Fujiwara no Kanezane did it, and as for the fact that other people's interests were damaged in the process and some forces were dissatisfied, what did it have to do with Hirohito?

Anyway, Xiao Jianshi never gave him any worries.

"Now, Northeast China has been completely stabilized..." "It's Manchuria, Kanezane."

"Your Majesty, the so-called Manchukuo is just a transition. I will change its name soon. In addition, do you remember what I said about the 'East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere'?"

The Union Republic?"

"Uh..."

East Asian Federation Republic.

This is one of the core concepts proposed by Fujiwara no Kanemitsu in his book "The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere":

Establish a "Union Republic" with Japan, the current most powerful country in East Asia, as its core, China, with its population and land, as its foundation, and all East Asian countries actively joining;

After the establishment of the country, it will utilize the human, material and financial resources of the entire East Asia to build an economic union special zone and establish a new order of coexistence and common prosperity.

When this theory was first promulgated, it caused a huge uproar in Japan (at the top level), with countless people supporting and opposing it, and they almost fought each other to the point of beating each other to death;

But as Fujiwara no Kaneshige won one great victory after another in Northeast China, support began to gain an absolute advantage, and more and more people began to participate in "perfecting the details".

I will help whoever wins.jpg.

Hirohito was certainly aware of this and supported it in his heart. With Japan at the core, and himself at the core, why would he oppose it? He would not only be the head of state of Japan, but also the head of state of the entire "East Asian Union Republic." Isn't that wonderful?

Although the word "republic" instead of "empire" was a little unpleasant, Fujiwara no Kanezane said that this was to eliminate possible unnecessary resistance. After all, the head of state was still His Majesty the Emperor, so Hirohito accepted it.

A national society is also a society!

(Note: Although Japan had enacted the Constitution of the Empire of Japan in 1890, different names such as "Japan (State)"/"Great Japan"/"Great Japanese Empire" were used. It was not until after the "226 Incident" that the country's name was unified as "Great Japanese Empire" - what is a grass-roots team?)

"You mean now's the time?"

"Yes, it's almost done. As long as the League of Nations resolution is not too unfavorable to us, we can start building momentum. First, we will merge Japan and Northeast China, and then encourage other East Asian countries and regions to join."

"What about North Korea?"

"This ethnic group should just disappear. There's no need for a special barrier between Japan and Northeast China."

"Um..."

Hirohito fell into deep thought. National character...

Fujiwara no Kanezane's "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" was good in every way, except for two problems: 1. It relied heavily on economic and political means, which took too long.

Of course, this is not a big problem. Which is better, a real success once and for all or being too hasty and ending up messing things up? The army's idiots didn't understand it, but Hirohito knew it clearly.

Therefore, the most controversial issue is actually that Fujiwara Kanezane proposed:

The national characteristics of all ethnic groups, including Japan, must be eliminated quietly. In the East Asian Alliance, there will only be one nation in the future - the "Greater East Asian Nation."

This was very difficult for the Japanese, who have always had a strong sense of national honor, to accept. If it were not for the fact that this was only a small part of the theory, not many people paid attention to it, and the fact that the person who proposed it was Fujiwara no Kanezane, some people would have cried out for divine punishment long ago.

Hirohito felt a little uncomfortable at first, but Fujiwara no Kanezane told him that this was the path he had to take in order to build a true "eternal country."

Moreover, according to the reports submitted by Fujiwara no Kanezane and intelligence collected from other channels, the current situation in Manchukuo fully proves the correctness and foresight of this concept:

The so-called "peace between China and Japan" and "co-prosperity between Manchus and Han" were actually realized in Manchukuo!

No matter whether you are Japanese, Chinese, Korean or even Russian, as long as you are in Manchukuo and are a citizen of Manchukuo, you only have one identity:

Manchukuo.

So, in Manchukuo, you can see Chinese police punishing Japanese ronin, you can see big-nosed Russian soldiers of the 386th Brigade helping Chinese civilians, and you can even see Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and North Korean colleagues eating, drinking, and laughing together.

Although in Fujiwara no Kanezane's eyes, this was still a far cry from what would happen in later times, to people at that time, it was simply a miracle!

In fact, it is not a miracle. It is just that some contradictions are eliminated or suppressed by "official leadership + rapid economic recovery and development + reasonable distribution + compulsory management".

But a superior like Hirohito only looks at the results, and the winner does not need to be blamed, so in his eyes, Fujiwara no Kanezane has undoubtedly proved his correctness and is worthy of his support.

"Well, since you think so, then... wait!" Hirohito suddenly "woke up":

"Are you trying to change the subject again? What does this have to do with your marriage?"

ea

Damn, this old guy is still a little too clear-headed.

What the old bitch said at home is true. The half-dead Hirohito is the good Hirohito...

"Your Majesty, as a member of the Japanese royal family, I will take the lead in marrying a Chinese woman as my principal wife. This will serve as a great example for eliminating Chinese resistance and establishing the Greater East Asia Union Republic."

"You mean... to calm people's hearts?"

"It's not just about reassuring people. Think about it, I, the ruler of Manchukuo, want to marry a Chinese woman. If this news gets out, other parts of China..."

"!! !"

Hirohito, whose health was deteriorating and whose reaction speed was getting slower and slower, finally realized what was happening and his breathing became heavier.

yes!

If just an ordinary Japanese royal family said they wanted to marry a Chinese woman, not only would the Japanese object, but the Chinese would also scoff at it.

But Fujiwara no Kanezane was different.

Rather than being the "leader of a foreign royal family that invaded China," his identity is now more like "a regent who is seeking to unify the various regional forces in China (on behalf of Japan)"!

The resistance brought about by these two different cognitions is completely different.
