1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Sure enough, I was not wrong about him.

This prince is by no means an ordinary Japanese prince! He is a man of great wisdom and great ideals!

He could definitely unify all of China and even all of East Asia, and build a powerful alliance capable of resisting the invasion and oppression of Western whites—the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!

"But what are you going to do?"

"This is what I think..."

Shen Zui told Fujiwara Kanezane the plan mentioned by "Twilight" to "become the head of the Northeast region of the Restoration Society" without reservation:

"...This way, I can control the Renaissance Society's operations in Northeast China, prevent similar attacks from happening again, and obtain more intelligence for the country."

"What a backstab without hesitation..."

Fujiwara Kanezane sighed softly, then asked casually, "Was this your own idea?"

"Yes."

"real?"

Shen Zui's heart tightened, and he insisted: "Yes, this is my idea."

"Oh, I see. So, do you have any requirements for doing something like this?"

"I know I am guilty and cannot escape punishment. I only hope Your Highness can spare the life of my brother-in-law, Yu Lexing!"

This time Shen Zui knelt down decisively and kowtowed several times:

"Like me, he was originally against this operation. He only provided the explosive technology under Wang Tianmu's coercion and did not participate in the massacre of civilians!"

Humph, as a human being, I still have some conscience, it's usable, and perhaps very useful;

However, if one wants to be an organized and disciplined Communist Party member, he is not qualified.

So, some punishment is needed.

Fujiwara no Kanezane waved his hand noncommittally.

"Well, okay, you're very good. I agree to your request... Go down and do your job well in the future."

"Yes!"

Shen Zui was about to leave when he heard Fujiwara Kanezane's voice:

"Why do you take a step with your left foot first?"

"Hey?"

"I'm not happy about this."

"what?"

"Agent, drag him away and beat him up."

"Yes."

"?? ?"

Before Shen Zui could react, the agent grabbed his collar and dragged him out of the room, took him to a corner, and gave him a mild beating.

After the incident, the agent wiped his hands calmly, as if he had just ripped off the girl's hair, and asked calmly:

"Do you know why you were beaten?" "Uh..."

Shen Zui had two panda eyes and his mind was full of confusion. After thinking about it, he could only think of one reason:

"Because... because... no matter what, I did something that harmed the country before..."

"If you still haven't figured it out, then keep thinking about it. When you do, you'll probably understand His Highness's intentions."

The attacker handed the victim a handkerchief to wipe his nosebleed, and his tone softened slightly:

"However, I tell you on behalf of His Highness that from today on, you are one of us."

"...yes!! !"

Soon after, major media outlets in Shenyang and throughout Northeast China began extensively reporting on the attack. Under the will of someone and the manipulation of Kenji Doihara and others, a mix of true and false details were revealed.

In particular, the slogans shouted and leaflets thrown by the first group of thugs when they rushed out were reported in great detail, directly pointing the finger at the Chinese Communist Party.

Although official media outlets such as the Republic Daily, Shenyang Daily, and Qiushi Qiuzhen Newspaper have not yet made any statements, some small and medium-sized newspapers are not concerned.

The more cautious ones would just say "the attackers may have been sent by the Chinese Communist Party";

The more radical ones even shouted slogans like "The murderer is the red bandit" and "Destroy the Communist Party!"

Now, following the "Middle East Railway Incident", the reputation of the CCP in Northeast China, especially among the so-called "middle class", has once again fallen to the bottom, causing a number of CCP members lurking in various departments in Northeast China to be anxious but dare not say anything.

The most anxious among them was Li Yaokui, who was in charge of publicity work.

As the highest leader of the CCP's propaganda department in Northeast China and a member of the Manchuria Provincial Committee, even though the incident had just happened, he had some channels and knew that it was absolutely impossible for the CCP to do it, and the murderer was most likely the Kuomintang.

However, without orders from above, even he would never dare to arbitrarily order those newspapers not to report or suppress accusations against the CCP.

This was not only because they were worried about saying the wrong thing and exposing themselves, but also because the State Council of the Republic, the Manchuria Provincial Committee and the Central Committee had not yet issued any orders, and acting on their own might disrupt the organization's overall plan.

There was no other way, so Li Yaokui had to "take the risk" to go to his direct superior and colleague of the same level - Luo Dengxian, Secretary of the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of Justice of the Five-Star Eastern Republic, under the banner of "communicating about the promotion of legal publicity work."

"... Secretary Luo, look at this..."

"Ahem, you forgot?"

"Ah... well, Minister Luo, what do you think we should do? We can't just let these newspapers talk nonsense, right? What if it affects that person's judgment..."

"Minister Li, you made a mistake."

Luo Dengxian shook his head:

"It's not how the newspaper reports that influences the person's thoughts, but the person's thoughts that influence the newspaper's coverage."

Among the military and police officers who participated in the operation at that time, there were people from the Manchuria Provincial Committee, so he had already known that this was done by the Renaissance Society. There was no reason for him not to know.

"what?"

Li Yaokui was stunned for a moment, then he understood:

"You mean to say that he knew what was going on, but he deliberately allowed the newspapers to report it in such a futile way?"

"Well, it must be intentional." "What...what is his purpose?"

"Who knows? It's not like they want to cleanse us."

Although he was not very clear about the overall arrangement of the CPC Central Committee, Luo Dengxian knew that most of the members of the Manchuria Provincial Committee alone had been fully integrated into the system of the Republic, and the Party Central Committee must have arranged other people.

Even Zhao Ziqi, the highest administrative official in the State Council, was sent by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Need I say more about how many Communist Party members are there in other departments?

Therefore, as things have developed to this day, even if Fujiwara Kanezane really suddenly went crazy and wanted to carry out a purge, it cannot be said that it is impossible, but the cost would definitely be terrifyingly high, so high that he would not dare to do so;

What's more, after more than a year of getting along, Luo Dengxian didn't think Fujiwara Kanezane would do such a thing.

"So what do we do?"

"What was the central government's previous order?"

"Uh... stay hidden as long as possible, study hard, gather intelligence, don't cause trouble, and do your best to obey and cooperate with Fujiwara Kanezane's orders..."

"That's it, isn't it? If he doesn't do anything, we'll just watch. If he does something, we'll just follow his orders and pass the intelligence back to the central government."

"But..."

"Don't worry, the central government definitely knows more than we do. If we take everything into consideration, there won't be any problems."

"I see..."

Similar conversations took place in every corner of Northeast China, and almost all party organizations and members made the same choice:

While carrying out orders, he collected information and sent it back, then watched to see what Fujiwara no Kanezane was trying to do.

As a result, with no one to stop it, this trend of blaming the CCP grew stronger and stronger.

At the same time, the news of the mission's failure was passed back to the Nanjing Fuxing Society. Dai Li felt dizzy and almost fainted.

completely annihilated..

Considering his previous experience, he knew there would be heavy losses, but he never expected that the entire army would be wiped out.

What the hell is Wang Tianmu doing!!!

Just how careless must one be to end up with such a result?!

Dai Li was disheartened.

As mentioned before, this action was a big gamble for him and the Renaissance Society;

If you win, you'll soar to the sky; if you lose, everything will be over.

But after such a huge failure and the loss of so many elites, even if he was the most trusted person in charge, he probably had no choice but to resign from the chairman.

I never thought that in less than two years, I, the great Dai Yunong, would find myself in such a desperate situation...

Just as Director Dai was in despair, wondering how to resign in a more graceful manner, the trembling telegraph operator handed over two new telegrams:

A report from an intelligence officer codenamed "Drunkard," also known as Shen Zui, detailed the causes and consequences of the operation's failure, pointing out that it was Wang Tianmu's reckless and lack of caution that led to the failure.

This was nothing. If it were just this useless intelligence, Dai Li would even suspect that Shen Zui was shirking responsibility. However, the other contents of the intelligence made him overjoyed!

Fuxing Society's top agent, Huang Hun, promptly detected the movements of the Northeast puppet regime's Ministry of Internal Affairs and National Security Bureau, and intervened at the perfect moment to rescue Shen Zui and Wang Tianmu. Although the latter was killed during the escape, he at least managed to save Shen Zui!

Another piece of intelligence sent by Huanghun himself confirmed Shen Zui's statement. Not only that, Huanghun also told Dai Li a great piece of news:

Our initial assessment is that Fujiwara no Kanezane and the puppet regime in Northeast China have been successfully misled, or perhaps they already had this intention and have already decided internally to take action against the CCP!

Although it is still unclear how the other party will act, where they will act, and how large the scale will be, at least one thing is certain:

This action of the Renaissance Society cannot be considered a complete failure!

After figuring this out, Director Dai suddenly felt like the dawn had come! Good, good, good, worthy of being a drunkard, worthy of being dusk!

Because of your efforts, the Renaissance Society is not only innocent, but has actually achieved merit! What are a few casualties?

The strategic goal has been achieved, everything is worth it!

Dai Li instantly forgot about the death of Wang Tianmu and others. While thinking about how to continue to send manpower to the Northeast and how to commend Jiuzu and Huanghun, he happily reported the results to Chairman Chiang.

As expected, not long after, Fujiwara no Kanezane publicly announced:

He will lead his troops once again to seek justice for the victims of Shenyang! Target: Yulin!

538 Disbanding the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Burning the Prairie

With Fujiwara no Kanezane's roar of "I will seek justice for the people", the raging flames of war are about to burn the northern part of China once again.

However, this time, the people were unusually quiet. There was no mass exodus or hiding that usually occurred before a war due to fear of disaster.

At least, for the people in Northeast China and the Peking area, such worries are completely unnecessary.

Because the leader was the invincible Prince Hachimangu Kanezane, and the troops he led were the 129th Division, the "Royal Division" that was famous throughout northern China.

What the hell is he worried about?

Are they worried that, like last time, the army will do too much work for them, leaving their shrewd son to go fishing in the river every day. Or are they worried that the reincarnation of the ancient sage king, Fujiwara no Yama, will come and give everyone benefits and lavish money again?

In short, although it did not reach the point of "rejoicing at the news of war", not many people panicked. Everyone watched happily as one army after another passed by the door and headed west.

"...Geng'er, see? This is what the people want!"

Someone, who was getting dressed and preparing to attend the "departure ceremony" with a top leader of the 129th Division, said proudly:

"As long as it's profitable and doesn't harm them, even if I go crazy, the people will support me! As for what others say, it's none of my business!"

The corners of Chen Kang's mouth twitched.

In the eyes of the ordinary people in Northeast China, there is no doubt that there could be no leader who is better than Fujiwara no Kanezane and cares about them more, but this is not the case in the eyes of some politicians.

As Fujiwara Kanezane said, his behavior was tantamount to madness in the eyes of these people.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "A master should not raise an army out of anger."

Just because a few lowly people were hurt, they put aside the plans for selecting a concubine, the chaos in Korea, and the upcoming "Greater East Asia Conference" and went on a thousand-mile expedition at great expense?

This is not the behavior of a rational person, and it is likely to lead to failure... Well, putting aside the victory in Rehe and the issue of Peking, Fujiwara no Kanezane's actions were extremely reckless and not at all like what a wise leader should do;

Only a very few smart people vaguely realized that perhaps Fujiwara no Kanezane had long wanted to deal with the CCP, and this terrorist and violent incident in Shenyang was probably just a small excuse for him to send troops.

Don't forget, at the beginning of this year, this gentleman personally led a cavalry to the Ordos grassland near Yulin, Shaanxi, and it is said that he played a trick on the Red Army before returning in triumph.

Although no significant results were achieved that time due to too few troops (i.e., the Red Army was not annihilated), this gentleman's ambition for the grassland was exposed.
