1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

As expected, after Fujiwara Kanezane said this, for the first five minutes, no one questioned the theory itself, except for a few people who asked "technical questions" such as "What is 'zero-sum game'?"

Those who were able to ask, either because of their great trust in Fujiwara no Kanezane or because of their deep understanding of the current delicate situation, remained cautiously silent;

Those who have the courage to ask questions are often limited by their personal abilities and cannot find theoretical answers, so they don’t know what to ask.

More people were intimidated by the grandeur of the party constitution and the power of Fujiwara no Kanezane himself.

You can't just stand up and accuse Fujiwara no Kanezane of being a dictator, right? Hahaha, there shouldn't be that kind of big...

"Your Majesty Hachiman! I have a question to ask!"

A rough, loud voice, with the penetrating power of a biting cold wind between white mountains and black waters, suddenly tore through the suffocating silence. Even without a microphone, it almost spread throughout the entire venue.

Everyone turned their attention. A man, over 190cm tall and built like an iron tower, had already stood up. Ignoring the staff's warnings, he walked over to the microphone and spoke again:

"Your Majesty Hachiman! I have doubts about this party constitution! I don't agree with it!"

Damn...

Who the hell is this...

Not only non-members, but even members of the CCP were stunned. This statement was a bit too direct.

Even if you could just say something euphemistically like "I have a different opinion" or add the "Criticism and Self-Criticism" clause in the Party Constitution, that would be fine!

The agent behind him whispered a reminder, and Fujiwara Kanezane nodded:

"Oh, I heard Commander Wang mention you. You are Comrade Zhang Guanyi, Deputy Director of the Harbin Public Security Bureau, right?"

"

As soon as this name came out, there was a lot of discussion below. Why?

The story of him calling Wang Yong a traitor in public and not only not being punished but being drafted into the 386th Brigade as a soldier and then rising through the ranks was repeatedly reported by newspapers in Manchukuo and Japan at the time as evidence of "Sino-Japanese friendship" and "His Highness the Holy King."

It is undeniable that Zhang Guanyi's rapid promotion was not only due to his own ability, dedication and achievements, but also due to political considerations.

Unexpectedly, this guy has remained true to his original aspirations and is still so reckless. Yang Jingyu, who has already successfully established his image as a "rough guy," was wearing a new black police uniform and his eyes were fixed on Fujiwara Kanezane on the podium:

"It's me! I have a problem! I..."

"I know you have a problem, tell me!" Fujiwara Kanezane interrupted unhappily:

"No one has ever been punished for speaking out here, and we won't be punished now. If you have something to say, speak up!" "I'm not well-educated. I don't know what a party is, and I can't understand the complicated Party Constitution. I only understood one thing: you want to be an emperor! An emperor like Yuan Shikai! You want to be a dictator!"

Yang Jingyu patted his chest and shouted, half in disguise and half in sincerity:

"Why did I, Zhang Guanyi, agree to join the army as Commander Wang? I came to benefit the people! Not to serve a new emperor! Not to work for a new dictator!"

"If you insist on being the emperor, I won't do it! I'll accept your beheading, but I'm not a beggar. I don't have the face to eat this bowl of rice that I kowtowed to the emperor to beg for on behalf of my fellow villagers!"

"boom!"

It seemed that Zhang Guanyi was not very educated. His words sounded rather confusing, but they caused the whole meeting to explode silently!

Well, although this guy explicitly stated that he wanted to "question the Party Constitution," no one expected that he would dare to be so direct, so ferocious, and so reckless in accusing the top leader of Northeast China in court at the Party's founding conference, which was watched by thousands of people!

Some people opened their mouths in shock, some wiped the sweat from their foreheads nervously, some glared at Zhang Guanyi angrily, and some had an indescribable light and expectation flashing in their eyes.

Shock, fear, bewilderment, astonishment, and even a hint of secret admiration... countless complex emotions surged and collided among the crowd, and the air was as stagnant as if filled with lead, as if a spark could detonate the entire venue.

Even Chen Kui, the famous "Northeastern socialite", couldn't help but tighten his expression at this moment.

You have to know that he was the one who brought Zhang Guanyi in, so there was no guarantee that someone would not make a fuss about it.

Although Chen Kui, who knew Fujiwara no Kanezane's true identity, was certainly not afraid of being politically purged, he might still cause some unnecessary trouble, right?

What on earth does this kid Zhang Guanyi want to do?

Alas, when there are more people around, thoughts become much more complicated.

In the almost frozen atmosphere, Fujiwara Kanezane's voice rang out:

"If you don't have any education, go learn it. If you don't understand the true meaning of theory and the Party Constitution, do you still think you're proud?"

"Uh..."

No one ever thought that Zhang Guanyi, a "rough guy", could refute Fujiwara no Kanezane theoretically. The only thing they worried about was that Fujiwara no Kanezane would get angry and use his power to crush all opposition. Now it seems that the other party has no intention of doing so?

He is indeed the broad-minded "Holy King".

"Comrade Zhang Guanyi, let me ask you, do you agree with the 'Three Represents'? Don't tell me you don't even know this, or I'll have you jailed for a few days."

As soon as these words were spoken, some people at the scene looked tense.

After this meeting, maybe it's time to read the "Three Represents" carefully. Just in case I get asked about it someday...right?

Zhang Guanyi's tone was firm:

"I've read it! I agree! But that doesn't mean dictatorship is right!" These words express the sentiments of some who believe in "democracy." Whether they believe in Soviet-style democracy or American-style democracy, even the worst kind of democracy is better than dictatorship!

"Don't worry about that for now... Let me ask you, how have I treated the people of the Five-Star Eastern Republic?"

"...Good! Very good!"

"Have I personally been extravagant and cruel to the people?" "No!"

"Since I came to power, has the country been thriving in all aspects, including economics, culture, politics, and military?"

"Yes!"

Fujiwara Kanezane asked Yang Jingyu a series of questions, gradually leading him into his own rhythm, and suddenly asked loudly:

"Then let me ask you, can I represent the interests of the general public? Can I represent their voices and wishes?"

"...able!"

"Since I can represent the people, and the people are the foundation of our party's governance, is there anything wrong with the party constitution I wrote? What is it that you are dissatisfied with?"

"Let's take a step back and say, even if I want to be an emperor or a dictator, I want to be an emperor or a dictator who can represent the interests of the vast majority of the people. Why don't you go to the streets of Shenyang or Harbin and ask them whether they hate me or welcome me? Can you represent their will?"

Yang Jingyu was suddenly unable to answer.

In these difficult times, those who believe most firmly in pragmatism all share very similar ideas:

No matter what doctrine it is, as long as it is useful and usable, that’s fine! Otherwise, how did the Nazis come to power?

If Xier increases the price of a loaf of bread from 50 to 2000 million, do you think the German people will still support him?

People are very realistic!

However, Yang Jingyu was not disappointed or frustrated, because he had originally planned two things:

Or, further create the image of a loyal minister and create a "new Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng";

Or, use his mouth to allow Fujiwara Kanezane to better explain the relevant theories, in other words, "act as a babysitter."

Neither side is a loss.

This was just because he was "bullying" Fujiwara no Kanezane because he had a good temper and had just donated panda blood to save the other party's "favorite general" Ye Fei some time ago. If it were any other tyrannical and ungrateful Chinese warlord or Japanese aristocrat, Yang Jingyu would not dare to be so reckless.

If you are not cunning enough, it is impossible to deal with the Japanese army for so long.

"Okay, if you can't answer it, go away! Read more! Don't think you can be proud of your lack of education!"

After teasing Yang Jingyu, Fujiwara Kanezane, who had been severely criticized, once again scanned the entire venue:

"Since we've brought this up, I need to emphasize again that Comrade Zhang Guanyi is right. The most basic position that every true and conscious member of the Communist Party of Asia should have is loyalty to the people! This is the foundation of our survival!"

"We must work hard to do everything that benefits the people, and we must fight hard to resist everything that is not beneficial to the people. The object of loyalty of all members of the Asian Communist Party is not me, Fujiwara Kanezane, but the Asian Communist Party and the people!"

"It's just that now, I, Fujiwara no Kanezane, personally represent the highest will of the Party and the people. Loyalty to me is essentially loyalty to the Party and the people!"

"In that case, I, Fujiwara no Kanezane, am not just the Party's General Secretary! I am the symbol of the people's will at this historical moment! I am the core of authority necessary for this country, in need of rebuilding order and becoming stronger!"

"This core is not my greed for personal power, Fujiwara no Kanezane, but a heavy burden entrusted to me by the people and history! It cannot be shirked! It cannot be questioned! It cannot be weakened or divided in any form!"

"Because the core of this authority is to more efficiently remove all obstacles, guide the direction of history, and concentrate national power on the needs of the people! It is a necessary dictatorship born to meet the future expectations of the people!"

"

As mentioned above, no one can refute this statement.

Northeast China is not a big place. If you say this to anyone in any corner, everyone will agree. Ordinary people will probably ask in return: "If you don't listen to Lord Fujiwara, who else are you going to listen to?"

There's no way around it. The "Five-Star Oriental Republic" was born out of nowhere—the Zhang and Jiang families were disappointing, the Qing dynasty was already a mess, and Japan's influence hadn't yet penetrated deeply...

All of this led to the fact that the common people in this land only recognized "His Majesty Fujiwara" and no one else.

At this moment, personal authority that may be questioned and the "interests of the people" that can never be questioned are firmly tied together. Questioning either side is almost equivalent to questioning the other side, thus shutting everyone up.

"on the contrary..."

After shocking everyone, Fujiwara Kanezane's tone softened again:

"If one day, I can no longer represent the interests of the broad masses of the people and the requirements for the development of advanced productive forces, then there will be no need for you to remain loyal to me and obey my will... The same goes for the Communist Party of Asia."

"

atmosphere.

Really grand.

Throughout history, no top ruler has ever said to the lower classes, "The people are supreme" or "You don't have to be loyal to me."

In his eyes, everything from himself to the party he founded is worthless. If they stray from the predetermined path, they can be eliminated!

How confident and bold must one be to say that!

Putting aside the enemy positions of China and Japan, more and more people have developed a deep respect for Fujiwara no Kanezane.

However, Fujiwara Kanezane's actions were always so unpredictable - the next moment, he shouted:

"Alright! I've already explained the criteria for becoming a leader of the Asian Communist Party. Now, what about the qualifications for becoming a member of the Asian Communist Party? You don't think that just because I invited you to attend the meeting, you'll automatically become a member, right?"

well??

To be honest, many people really think this way:

If not, why did you go to all the trouble to gather everyone here?

However, this Japanese prince, who has always played by his own rules, made a surprising choice this time.

"If I cannot represent the interests of the majority of the people, then I cannot lead the entire party. If some people cannot serve the people or even cannot refrain from harming their interests, then they cannot become members of the Communist Party of Asia?"

With the previous preparation, this sentence is naturally reasonable.

"Over the past year or so, I've given certain people countless chances! Countless times!"

Fujiwara no Kaneshi roared on the stage:

"But many people have disappointed me so much! They say one thing and do another! They swear loyalty to me on the surface, but secretly disobey my policies! They are even more corrupt and degenerate, completely betraying the people's expectations!"

To those who truly understood Fujiwara no Kanezane's identity, these words would be interpreted as "betraying the people and so on." However, to the ears of the vast majority of people, these words only meant one thing:

You're fucking disloyal!

If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal!

"Since that's the case, since they refuse to follow me and the will of the people, then they don't deserve to be a member of the Asian Communist Party! They don't deserve to be called 'comrades'!"

Fujiwara no Kanezane had a cold expression and gave clear and precise orders:

"Come here! Arrest all these people who have betrayed the people and my ideals!"

He waved his hand, and a group of elite cadres from the National Security Bureau, the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs filed in. They had obviously been carefully deployed and repeatedly rehearsed, and they rushed towards each representative area with great precision.

The sounds of exclamations and chairs falling over instantly broke the silence of the meeting room.

Regardless of whether they are Chinese or Japanese, military or political, regardless of gender, age, status, profession, or whether they are members of the Communist Party of China...

In every area, people were pinned to the ground by disciplinary inspection cadres in an undignified manner, and a few who dared to resist were even beaten with batons.

Especially a North Korean named Park Chung-hee, who was so powerful when wielding a stick. No matter what your name or background was, he would hit you with a stick if you didn't obey him.

how to say...

This scene is actually not unfamiliar to everyone.

Similar incidents have occurred every month over the past year or so, and this group of people particularly likes to arrest people during meetings, and seems to particularly enjoy the panic-stricken appearance of those being arrested.

The most "deadly" thing, and the one that suppressed all resistance, was that there were almost no wrongful convictions. Obviously, arresting someone in such a solemn occasion, with Fujiwara no Kanezane himself present and making such a statement, made it even more impossible to make a mistake.
