1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

As for the young man, he was an old subordinate of Mo Xiong, named Liu Yafu.

He may not be famous, but her sister became extremely famous because of an article written by a writer who went to Northeast China:

Liu Hezhen.

In short, once this elite force of the Tax Police Corps is tricked into going to Fujian, many things will be beyond their control!

As for the 467 consortium, let's squeeze out all the oil first.

All members of the Tax Police Corps set out and headed south together.

This shocking news once again shook the entire nation, especially the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, where panic reigned.

They were no different from others. As one of Chairman Chiang's strongest supporters, they were very well-informed. Almost as soon as T.V. Soong left Nanjing, they knew about the dispute between Chiang and Soong.

Therefore, after Song Ziwen led the tax police corps into Zhejiang under the banner of "I can't bear to hurt my sister, so I ask to go south to suppress the Fujian rebels", these cunning people quickly guessed that they were against

Fang's plan made him extremely angry.

damn it!

The damn Qiongzhou Shanghai kid actually wanted to take us as "hostages"!

Logically speaking, even if the people of Zhejiang were once again subjected to "Sun-style tyranny," it would have nothing to do with these gentlemen, but the threat still exists!

(Referring to Sun Chuanfang's entry into Zhejiang, where he demanded that the troops "act like a king's army" and "harm no one"—that they only rape and plunder, but not kill or burn.)

What if Chiang Kai-shek was ruthless and insisted on mobilizing a large army to wipe out Song Ziwen? If the Central Army and the General Tax Police Corps fought in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, it wouldn't matter if many poor people died, but what if they destroyed the flowers and plants in our home?

Therefore, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium quickly took countermeasures, even without any discussion with each other, and acted entirely based on the tacit understanding they had in the past.

On the one hand, Zhang Jingjiang immediately rushed to Nanjing and tried to persuade and threaten the furious Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to calm down and not act rashly.

On the one hand, as local representatives from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, Qian Xinzhi and others hurriedly brought people, money and supplies to Song Ziwen to "consult the troops" and, at the same time, to test the other party's true attitude and thoughts.

As for another famous representative of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, perhaps even the most famous representative in modern history, Yu Qiaqing, he brought a group of bankers and financiers to the center of this incident:

The Preparatory Office of Soong Ching Ling's "Chinese People's Revolutionary Government".

Compared to the deserted place when it was first established, this time, the small but heavily guarded courtyard was crowded with all kinds of people:

There are reporters who want to interview the Mother of the Nation, spies who are trying to get intelligence, but more are speculators who intend to join.

Everyone wanted to see the legendary Madam Sun. The saying "whoever wins gets their support" was perfectly reflected at this moment.

Yu Qiaqing secretly memorized a few familiar faces, and then sent someone to inform them of the meeting.

"...Kaneshita-kun, oh, Kanezane-kun, what do you want to do?"

When she found that everything was really developing as she had imagined, even though Soong Ching Ling was already accustomed to Fujiwara Kanezane's actions, she still couldn't help but ask the question she had asked many times.

"Oh my, my dear Sister Song, why are you so inquisitive?" The "Commander-in-Chief of the People's Revolutionary Army" was lying on the sofa in an awkward position, enjoying the agent's feeding, while tilting his head and answering nonchalantly:

"Anyway, I've already promised you that I won't do anything that's harmful to you and the Chinese people. Why don't you trust me?"

"I believe you, but...what is the price?" Soong Ching Ling was puzzled.

From the time of the incident until now, none of Fujiwara no Kanezane's actions have harmed the interests of her, her new government, or the Chinese people. On the contrary, they have brought her a lot of benefits, which is really puzzling.

Doing good things for free? How is that possible!

Also, the dignified King of the Northeast, a big shot with a lot of affairs on his hands, is just going to stay with her like this?

Doesn't he have anything else to do?

Isn't he afraid of something happening in Northeast China?

Or is he really so confident that he can control the Northeast?

Alas, Chen Kang, Chen Kui, how many members of the CCP are there in Northeast China besides you?

Please speed up, I really can't handle this guy.

"All this... ahem, don't worry, I'm just waiting for my successor to arrive."

"Successor?"

"Yes, I am the ruler of the Northeast after all. I can't be your commander-in-chief and help you command the army for a long time, so I have to find a successor before I leave!"

"...I won't accept any other Japanese."

"You are such a narrow-minded person. In my eyes, there is no such thing as Chinese, Japanese, or Americans... Don't worry, don't worry. I won't send any Japanese to you..."

"Who are you going to send?"

"Don't worry, he's definitely capable..."

"Your words always sound weird." "Your illusion..."

While the two were talking, a servant came in to announce that Yu Qiaqing and others wanted to see him. Fujiwara Kanezane curled his lips:

"Well, you see, I told you they would be anxious."

He was right again.

"What are you going to do?"

"Sister Song, you're the boss of the new government of this new country, right? Why do you keep asking me what I'm doing? Why should I care about things if you don't pay me? If you're too capitalist, you'll be hung up on the street. Do you understand me?"

During the time she spent with Fujiwara no Kanezane, Soong Ching Ling had to admit that she did not dislike him, and sometimes even felt that he was her own naughty younger brother.

Fujiwara no Kanezane also treated her with disrespect, calling her "Ms. Song, Mr. Song, Mrs. Sun" at first, and then he kept calling her "Sister Song", "Big Sister Song", "My Sister" and so on.

By the way, every time she was called "Auntie Song" and "Grandma Song", Soong Ching Ling had the urge to grab Fujiwara Kanematsu's ears and twist them around.

After calming down, Soong Ching Ling made a decision:

"Tell them I have an important guest. Ask them to wait... Um, I'll notify them to come in half an hour."

"Yes."

After the servant left, Fujiwara no Kanezane said with a grin, "Let's leave them out to dry?"

"Let them air it out for a while, don't let them get too complacent."

Soong Ching Ling shook her head:

"Back then, if it weren't for these bastards providing financial support to Chiang Kai-shek, he wouldn't have been able to rebel. In the 412 Incident, Chiang was the principal offender, and they were accomplices, the biggest accomplices at that."

"Then why do you still see them?"

"Why are you playing dumb?"

Half an hour later, Yu Qiaqing, who had been left alone in the conference room, finally got permission—but only three people at most were allowed in;

Qian Qiaqing and the two chaebol heads entered the reception room full of resentment and saw Soong Ching Ling sitting there and a handsome officer in military uniform standing behind her.

If nothing unexpected happens, that person is the commander of the "Shanghai Victory"? Where did he come from?

Judging from his attire, is he a KMT officer? Is he from Whampoa Military Academy?

This guy is quite decisive and quick in his actions...

Yu Qiaqing was pondering in his heart when Song Qingling spoke calmly: "Mr. Yu, I wonder what brings you to see me today?"

Unexpectedly, Song Qingling went straight to the point without even exchanging greetings. Yu Qiaqing was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said:

"I dare not disturb you, Madam. Outside the reception room are all colleagues from Shanghai's banking and industrial sectors. I've been honored to visit you primarily to ask you, Madam, when will martial law in Shanghai be lifted?"

Although the "scale of the war" was not large, due to the invasion of the General Tax Police Corps, in order to prevent Shanghai local police and gangs from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, the "People's Revolutionary Army" naturally announced martial law and curfew.

"Oh? Mr. Yu, are you here to inquire about our military secrets?" "No, no!"

Song Qingling's tone was somewhat ambiguous, and Yu Qiaqing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead:

"It's just that, ma'am, martial law has a huge impact on people's livelihood!" "People's livelihood?"

Song Qingling laughed and said:

"Mr. Yu, do you think the food shipped from the United States is hard to swallow, or do you think martial law has affected your Ningbo Gang's business?"

Martial law will certainly affect people's livelihood, but for the common people of the Republic of China, this is really a common thing. Even the people in Shanghai have experienced the "-28 Anti-Japanese War" last year;

What's more, although Soong Ching Ling ordered the implementation of martial law, she also compensated the people in the areas affected by the martial law - distributing 3 kilograms of food to each person every day.

Even though the grain was old from the US, and even though the firewood problem hadn't been effectively solved, I could still fill my stomach without having to work. In this chaotic time, who would want to do that?

The Chinese people have developed their tolerance over the past hundreds of years, especially in recent decades. Everyone just shouts "Madam, benevolent and righteous" and that's it.

However, this was the thinking of ordinary people at the bottom of society. For wealthy people like Yu Qiaqing who had never known what food shortage was, martial law made them very uncomfortable.

You should know that Shanghai has half of China's foreign trade volume and a quarter of its domestic shipping volume, more than half of the total manufacturing investment and industrial labor force, and more than three-quarters of China's total banking resources;

Although Soong Ching Ling did not order the closure of banks and factories, the market was so depressed that these entrepreneurs would still lose huge amounts of money every day.

However, if you asked them to challenge Soong Ching Ling, they would never dare to do so. Not only because the other party had just defeated the invading tax police corps;

It's not just because the Tax Police Corps has gone to Zhejiang to squat;

Moreover, rumors were circulating in Shanghai that Soong Ching Ling had the support of the Americans, and that she herself had even been favored by the Saintly President!

Putting aside other things, the people responsible for distributing relief food and maintaining order were indeed from the Axe Gang and the American Mark Company...

Before they could figure out Soong Ching Ling's true attitude, the Soong family's true plans, and how much support the Americans would give her, they would never dare to turn against her, or even put pressure on her or express their dissatisfaction.

A group of people who mostly made their fortunes by acting as compradors for domestic and foreign trade, how could they have such a thing as backbone!

What's more, after losing the "Three Shanghai Tycoons" one after another and being forcibly cut off from the concession and Shanghai police due to Mark Company's "security contracting system", the chaebols no longer even had basic military protection.

Resist?

Falling out?

The General Tax Police Corps and the thousand or so men under Soong Ching Ling might not be able to defeat the army that followed Chairman Chiang, but they could still easily deal with a few of them!

You can disobey Soong Ching Ling, but you will be fine if you see no one to criticize you. Anyway, after the "Shanghai Victory", the policies of the "People's Revolutionary Army" were resolutely implemented.

Yu Qiaqing had no choice but to continue to accompany Xiaoxin:

"I wouldn't dare say that, madam. It's just that Shanghai's economy is in decline, and I'm afraid it will be very unfavorable for your future rule of Shanghai. Please give it more consideration when making your decision."

"That's strange of you to say."

Song Qingling imitated someone else and tilted her head slightly, pretending to be puzzled:

"I didn't want to fight this war. With Shanghai in such a state, shouldn't we ask Chairman Chiang, whom you have always supported, when he will be willing to stop the war?"

Oh shit!

If you hadn't rebelled in Shanghai, this wouldn't have happened!

"Madam, you've misunderstood. We are just businessmen who are dedicated to serving the people and doing business in a friendly manner. We do not participate in politics..."

"Not involved in politics? Then why did Zhang Jiaao alone give Chiang Kai-shek a full 1000 million yuan?"

The sneer on Song Qingling's face became even more intense:

"If you don't participate in politics, shouldn't you just run the factory and pay taxes on time? Why did you interfere in the Kuomintang-Communist cooperation and the Northern Expedition?"

Zhang Jiaao, 44, a native of Jiading, Shanghai, is an economics graduate from Japan's Keiichi University. He is the general manager of the Bank of China, the brother of Zhang Youyi, and the brother-in-law of Xu Zhimo.

In 1927, it was this man who directly approached Chiang Kai-shek with 1000 million yuan (some say 800 million yuan), providing him with the most valuable financial and confidence support, enabling him to launch the "412 counter-revolutionary coup";

As for the reason why they, who originally supported the Northern Expedition, suddenly decided to do so, it was actually very simple - the Communist Party was too "progressive" and was always fighting for the interests of the workers, which seriously affected their ability to make money.

"Without you, there would be no 412. Without 412, there might not be the party and government I have today."

The meaning of Song Qingling's words is somewhat obscure, but actually very clear:

Your Jiangsu and Zhejiang financial group strongly supported Chiang Kai-shek back then, which led to my break with him and the current situation. You bear great responsibility. Now please do not try to stay out of this!

So, choose your side, choose me or choose Chiang Kai-shek! "This..."

Song Qingling's difficulty far exceeded Yu Qiaqing's imagination. For a moment, he was speechless and could only curse in his heart:

You two, Chiang and Soong, are fighting for power and engaging in internal strife, why do you have to drag us into this? Until now, Yu Qiaqing and others still believe that Soong Ching Ling broke up with Chiang Kai-shek because some interests were not agreed upon. The fact that Soong Tzu-wen first attacked Shanghai and then quickly turned against Chiang Kai-shek is clear evidence of this.

It's hard to say, the current situation is just a double act put on by the two siblings of the Song family for the world to see!

But, what if I knew it?

Not only can you not say it out loud, but you can also find ways to pretend you know nothing!

Otherwise, do you intend to offend the leader of the most powerful local armed force in Shanghai?

Choosing Soong Ching Ling or Chiang Kai-shek is a difficult question. Should we continue to choose Chiang Kai-shek?

No.
