1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

but...

Soong Ching Ling sneered in her heart.

Prince Kanezane, don't be too confident. I'm afraid you'll never guess it, right?

The leader of your largest armed force is actually a member of the Chinese Communist Party. "It's right not to accept it."

Someone nodded pretentiously:

"Otherwise, when I unify all of China, you two gentlemen will be in an awkward situation. I really don't want to have to purge you one day."

This matter-of-fact tone was as if he had already seen the future in which he would unify China.

Even though she knew the other party was doing this for her own good, Soong Ching Ling still couldn't help but retort: ​​"Mr. Wu, I told you last time that you can't become the emperor of China."

"So, as I said last time, you really don't understand the Chinese people well enough. If Yuan Shikai could recapture Outer Mongolia, crush Europe and America, beat up Japan and Russia, and rebuild Haitang, would he still be honored as the 'Great Emperor'..."

Seeing that the agent had already begun to signal with his eyes, Fujiwara Kanezane shook his head, too lazy to persuade him any further:

"Never mind. There's no point in arguing, gentlemen. Facts will prove who's right and who's wrong... But since we've met, I do have a small favor to ask of you, gentlemen."

"whats the matter?"

Although the two sides are enemies at the national level, putting this aside, Song and He both have a very good impression of Fujiwara no Kanezane. As long as it does not harm the country and the nation, they will not refuse any small favor.

"Take me to see the chairman!"

"???"

"...Report to the Chairman! Madam Sun and Madam Liao are here again!" "Hmm?"

Chiang Kai-shek, who was already angry because Soong Ching Ling and He Xiangning, two ungrateful women, rejected his proposal, was very confused when he received the notice.

What are they coming back for?

After welcoming the two in, Chiang Kai-shek saw Song Qingling with a stern face. As soon as she entered the room, she said:

"This is the man who saved Xiang Ning and me. He said he wanted to see you, so I brought him here..."

Having said that, He Xiangning also said to Mark, "You take care of yourself," and then left the room with Soong Ching Ling. The whole process took no more than a minute.

Chiang Kai-shek, with a confused look on his face, welcomed a guest whose name and life he didn't even know.

However, when he saw Mark wearing the uniform of a Kuomintang officer, he asked him to sit down, started chatting with him with a smile, and then quickly figured out the "reason".

So that's how it is. This guy used the life-saving favor he gave to Soong Ching Ling and He Xiangning in exchange for a chance to meet me?

No wonder those two women looked so grumpy. Hahahahahahahaha...

Chiang Kai-shek was suddenly in a good mood and immediately began to like Mark. "...Wu Shi, you said you were from Whampoa Military Academy? Which batch?"

"Report to the principal! The student is from the eighth class of Whampoa Military Academy! Graduated from the Wuhan branch!" Mark sat up straight, meticulous like a real soldier.

Why choose the eighth batch of Huangpu?

Because not only were there no celebrities in this period, but many people died in the "Wuhan Battle", a lot of information was lost, and students who were merged from all over the country had to graduate early. The management was extremely chaotic, and it was impossible to find out anything even if you wanted to.

In this regard, He Yingqin is still capable.

Hearing the word "Wuhan," the expression on Chairman Chiang's face faded a little. He never wanted to recall the awful things that happened in that shabby place again in his life.

But this cannot be blamed on Wu Jiu, it can only be said that he was unlucky.

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek changed the subject:

"You're a captain, right? I vaguely remember that among Whampoa graduates, only the most outstanding or those who made outstanding contributions would become lieutenants or captains. What's wrong with you?"

"Report to the principal! This student was temporarily promoted to captain because he wrote a petition expressing his views on the future of the country and was appreciated by the superiors!"

"Oh? What proposal?"

"Peace talks with Japan!"

Chairman Chiang's face froze, and then turned gloomy: "Wu Shi, you are a soldier!"

"Report to the principal! The students believe that the gap in power between China and Japan is too great. At this moment, we can only endure it, keep a low profile, confuse the Japanese, and buy space for time;"

"Otherwise, blindly talking about resistance against Japan without considering the actual situation will only make the country weaker and weaker. This is truly a scholar's view. The principal's painstaking efforts are not understood by the Chinese people, but students have studied it for many years and deeply agree with it!"

Using Chairman Chiang's own words to fool him was certainly effective. Even if it hadn't hit home, he couldn't afford to contradict himself.

As expected, Chiang Kai-shek was very pleased:

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect a young man in his early twenties like you to have such insight! What did you write, and who did you give it to? Tell me about it."

"Yes, student..."

Mark only said a few words and Chiang Kai-shek understood everything.

What! Ying! Qin!

Mother! Hope! Pi!

458 Chairman's confidant - the King of the Northeast

What! Ying! Qin!

Mark only said part of it, but Chiang Kai-shek understood it. Wasn't this the same idea that He Yingqin had given him?

Although Wu Shi's is a bit tougher, the general idea is exactly the same, and it can be said that they are almost the work of one person!

However, Chairman Chiang had never heard of Wu Shi or his achievements before today!

In other words, that old dog He Yingqin has concealed himself again!

Wu Shi's words successfully aroused Chairman Chiang's resentment towards He Yingqin's previous major mistakes, which he had almost ignored.

If you dare to hide such a thing today, what will you dare to hide tomorrow? Oh! That’s right!

Nanchang! Nanchang!!!

I almost forgot about Nanchang!

If it weren't for that old dog He Yingqin, how could Nanchang be lost so easily?

If he had known that Nanchang had been attacked by Communist aircraft, how could Wuhan have been bombed so badly?

Almost immediately, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek wanted to call He Yingqin, who had just gone north, back to confront him, scold him, and give him a good beating.

But almost immediately, he calmed down.

Not to mention that He Yingqin is not here, not to mention that He Yingqin is now one of his most important pillars;

Even if He Yingqin were summoned for confrontation and accused of greed and concealing talent, what would happen? He could simply shirk responsibility, blaming it on his subordinates. The difference between a lieutenant and a general is truly enormous. It's perfectly normal for superiors to be corrupt toward their subordinates.

Well, I'll just bear with it for now and find a chance to deal with that guy later. Chairman Jiang asked some more questions and became more certain:

Those "good strategies" written by Wu Shi were somehow passed to He Yingqin, who then made them his own, gave Wu Shi a captain rank, and sent him on "research missions" everywhere to prevent his secrets from being exposed...

Chairman Chiang made up a lot of things in his mind and took a heavy toll on He Dongliang in his heart, but on the surface he remained gentle and kind:

"Okay, okay, you're truly a talented person. Where have you been since graduation... um... um... researching?"

"Report to the principal! My subordinates have been to Shanghai, Tianjin, Beiping, Fengtian, and Harbin.

Chairman Chiang didn't seem to care much about the places mentioned at the beginning, but when he talked about the major cities in Northeast China, he sat up straight:

"You also went to the Japanese territory?"

"Yes, Principal! I just skimmed the surface and didn't get to the point." "Oh! Don't say that."

Chairman Chiang waved his hand:

"In less than a year, you've traveled across most of China. Thank you for your hard work." "Serving the Party and the country is what students should do!"

"Haha, well said! This is the kind of spirit and ambition that a Whampoa student like me should have!"

Chiang Kai-shek praised the King of the Northeast and asked:

"Then tell me, what did you see during your trip to Northeast China? What are your feelings?"

Speaking of this, Chairman Chiang felt a little resentful.

Xu Enzeng and Dai Li, those useless people, boasted that they would send people to establish roots in the Northeast, but what happened?

Of the spies sent there, except for one young man who achieved a certain status, the rest were completely wiped out!

He is even worse than this "researcher" who changed his career halfway!

There are simply too many rubbish within the Party-State, hindering my grand strategic vision... "Yes, Principal, then the student boldly said it..."

Then, the King of Northeast China told Chiang Kai-shek some of the situations in Northeast China, and the latter was shocked.

This guy is definitely an expert at gathering intelligence! No, he's a genius among geniuses!

"You wait first."

Chiang Kai-shek sent for Xu Enzeng and Dai Li to come and sit in on the trial, but unexpectedly the former had already gone to Shanghai, while the latter was waiting outside the door:

"headmaster!"

"Sit down, Yunong. I've found a talented intelligence officer for you. His name is Wu Shi, and he's your junior from the eighth term! Wu Shi, this is Director Dai Li from the Fuxing Society's Secret Service Department, and he's your senior from the sixth term."

After introducing themselves to each other, both Mark and Dai Li showed awkward expressions on their faces. The former was obviously pretending, while the latter had come to Chiang Kai-shek to report the "accusation against Wu Shi" incident!

Of course, a mere captain didn't have the nerve to do that, but since it involved Mrs. Song and Mrs. He, he had to report it.

Chiang Kai-shek noticed something unusual and asked in confusion: "You, what's going on?" "Uh..."

Dai Li hesitated for a second, but still told the whole story, which made Chiang Kai-shek furious:

"Nonsense! What do your men mean? Is this how they view our Party and country's officers?!"

"Principal, this is a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding? Yunong, Yunong, you still don't realize the seriousness of the problem. If everyone in the world views our party and country in this way, how can our party and country still gain support..."

After taking the opportunity to give Dai Li a good beating, Chiang Kai-shek allowed Wu Shi to continue reporting on the situation in Northeast China:

"...Currently, the 386th Brigade has been upgraded to the 129th Division, but this number is unreliable. According to students' observations, the actual strength should be no less than 20,000, and among them are a large number of Japanese officers and soldiers..."

"...In addition to the 129th Division, they also have a unit called the 'Armed Police,' or PAP for short. Despite the name, their equipment is not much worse than that of the Party-State Central Army, somewhat similar to the General Tax Police Corps..."

"...The equipment of the puppet air force was basically inherited from the Northeast Army. I suspect the person in charge is from the Japanese royal family... The puppet navy was mainly transferred from Japan, and I heard that they were also training a Chinese navy..."

"...As for the pseudo-government, Zhao Ziqi is nominally in charge, but beneath him is a vice-chairman named Kenji Doihara, who is primarily responsible for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and investment attraction, and may be the actual person in power..."

After listening for a while, Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li made almost the same conclusion: the "Five-Star Eastern Republic" is simply an upgraded version of the "Manchukuo"!

On the surface, they are all Chinese, but inwardly, just like the 129th Division, they are actually completely controlled by the Japanese!

That Wang Yong might just be a puppet!

It's even possible that, as Wu Shi guessed, he is actually a Japanese who just changed his Chinese name!

Otherwise, why are almost all Japanese immigrants required to have a Chinese name?

It's not just to confuse the audience!

With Fujiwara no Kanezane as the leader, the Chinese as the meat, the Japanese as the bones, and supplemented by money and goods, a new army was established!

The Japanese were becoming increasingly sophisticated in their control of China. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek was secretly surprised:

"...Did all this happen after that Fujiwara no Kanezane arrived?"

"Yes, students went from street to street and talked to many people. Before that person arrived in Northeast China, the situation was completely different... For example, he also used this method to 'extinguish' the anti-Japanese wave in various places."

"...Have you met him?"

"Yes, I did. I happened to be in Shenyang when he returned from his expedition to Inner Mongolia, so I went over to take a look. Principal, please forgive me, but there were too many people around him, so I couldn't find a chance to assassinate him."

"Hey! Don't say that. A talent like yours shouldn't be used for such rough work..."

Chiang Kai-shek half-truthfully praised the King of the Northeast a few more times, and then asked: "So what do you think of the situation in the Northeast, compared to the Party-State?" "Of course..."

"Hey, young man, don't flatter me like the corrupt officials."

So you, old man, are aware of how bad your family is... Mark curled his lips inwardly and replied seriously:

"Principal, please forgive my frankness, but compared to the pseudo-republic, our Party-state still has a lot of room for improvement, whether in military equipment and morale or administrative organization and management capabilities."

Jiang and Dai were stunned for a moment before they realized what "there is a lot of room for improvement" meant.

What it means is that there is a huge gap! This statement is quite novel.

Surprisingly, Chiang Kai-shek did not get angry, but continued calmly, "So, according to you, there is no way our country can win?"

"That's not necessarily true. There are also serious problems within the pseudo-state." "What problems?"
