1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

This is indeed the case.

In the brief exchange that day, relying on the memory of his agent, Fujiwara Kanezane easily recalled what was in Ishiwara Kanji's mind. In short, it was:

Don't fucking escalate the situation any further. First, completely take over the Northeast, explore its resources, and seriously build it into Japan's rear base.

In fact, this was not a sudden "kindness" on the part of Ishihara Kanji, but rather something he had proposed in his "Ishihara Concept" in 1928 after years of research in China:

"The world is divided into East and West, with Japan and the United States at their core respectively. A war is inevitable. To defeat the United States, we must first defeat China. To defeat China, we must first occupy Manchuria and Mongolia. Only in this way can we maintain prosperity..."

To be fair, if the "Ishihara Plan" could be implemented and Japan really gave up further expansion in China, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely compromise and sign countless traitorous treaties;

When Northeast China is completely swallowed up by Japan and all its resources are fully absorbed, China and the world will be faced with a complete industrial country, and the difficulty of winning will be greatly increased.

Fortunately, the arrogant and eccentric Ishihara Kanji overlooked one thing: the thoughts of other Japanese soldiers:

Fine, fine, fine, you, Ishiwara Kanji, have become famous and successful through your "lonely walk" and have eaten your fill, and now you want us to starve?

I'll go to your mother!

If you stand in my way, go to hell!

Therefore, no matter whether it was Ishiwara Kanji's "successors" or "Private First Class Tojo", no one agreed with Ishiwara Kanji's strategic conception after occupying Northeast China.

Not only did they refuse to listen, they also removed this guy from his position as "Acting Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army" and replaced him with Rensuke Isogai. In the end, they even threw him into the reserve and kept him idle until after the war.

By the way, because of his bad relationship with Private First Class Tojo, he was not listed as a war criminal when he was finally tried.

What's even more surprising is that he actually expressed strong dissatisfaction with this: "I was the central figure in the Manchurian Incident, but I'm not a war criminal? Your logic is ridiculous!"

Then, Ishiwara Kanji, who escaped but was still brooding over it, eventually developed bladder cancer due to being stabbed in the crotch by his own sword, tearing the urethra, and urinating blood for a long time.

In this world line, Ishihara-kun didn't have to suffer so much - he was simply sent directly to paradise by the medical expert Fujiwara-kun using the "Abe Treatment".

In short, Ishiwara Kanji's idea was taken and modified by Fujiwara Kanezane and then used directly:

"...The Empire has always wanted to directly annex Northeast China, but it can only rule indirectly through the establishment of Manchukuo through Puyi and Wanrong. The reason is this - we have not yet won the hearts of the people;"

"So, we have to leave these bastards behind and directly contact the Chinese farmers. In this way, we can get two or even three kilograms of grain, but the farmers will still be grateful to us;"

"Most importantly, the Chinese people, especially those who can't even read, are blindly obedient. They will listen to whoever directly rules them."

(Ishihara Kanji's investigation report: "...Chinese people living in this environment will not have any sense of identity with those in power. Even if Japan really invades, these people are unlikely to resist!")

(This guy was conducting research in China, disguising himself as a coolie carrying heavy bags. He worked for half a month and didn't earn a dime. The copper coins he finally begged for were snatched away by the police.)

"And what about the Xie family? If they can be bribed by us, they can also be bribed by others;"

"what does that mean?"

"This means that the Xie family has the ability to bargain with us, disrupt us, or even betray us!"

"This is something I absolutely cannot tolerate! Even more so, His Majesty the Emperor cannot tolerate it!"

"So, for us, only by eliminating insects like the Xie family and these greedy middlemen can we remove the obstacles that stand in the way of achieving our goals..."

"For this reason, we must publicly try these landlords, let the people recognize their crimes, kill their entire families, and let the people feel that we are their saviors..."

"Only in this way can we truly win the hearts and minds of the people, truly establish rule in Manchuria, truly build an East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere that benefits the Empire of Japan, and turn this place into a Northeast that truly belongs to the Empire..."

This was the reason Fujiwara no Kanezane used to convince high-ranking officers like Mori Ren—they couldn't all be killed. If one Mori Ren was killed, another would come up, so they had to find a way to stabilize them.

If they did not listen to him and went to complain or oppose, then Fujiwara no Kanezane would let them see what "the power of Hachimangu Kanezane" meant.

Let's wait for a few years until the CCP or its forces have completely established a firm foothold and are able to completely control the situation in Northeast China. If these people still refuse to change their ways...

Then kill them all, bury one group in the South Pole and one group in the North Pole.

Fujiwara no Kanezane's explanation (huo) and explanation (you) were logically seamless. With Mori Ren's level of understanding, he naturally couldn't hear any problems or feel anything wrong. He was immediately convinced and said:

"Hi! Your Highness! I understand everything! No wonder you asked us to strictly observe military discipline and treat the Chinese people well! You are indeed very clear-sighted!"

Of course, another reason for being persuaded is also very realistic:

His Highness Kanezane said that he would kill all the landlords in the Northeast and even in the Japanese-occupied areas, and rob them of their land and money;

Then, part of the land was distributed to local farmers to win over their hearts, and the other part was distributed to Japanese immigrants to stabilize the country. As for the money...

Thank you for your hard work, brothers!

Come!

This is your attendance fee! What?

Farmers also have money? Stupid!

How much money does a poor person have in his pocket? I will take money from whoever has money!

"That's right. The old idea that 'the Chinese are the bad guys in the front, and we hide in the back and play the good guys' is wrong. These Chinese people are a hundred times smarter than we thought."

"Killing people directly is the most foolish thing to do. It can only solve a temporary problem at best, or it may not solve the problem at all and may even cause even greater problems;"

"Killing is fine, but the heart must be destroyed."

Patting Mori Ren's arm, Fujiwara Kanezane stood up and walked over to the Independent Garrison and the Fourth Division soldiers, all with complicated expressions. He pointed at the heated trial platform and the emotional Chinese people and shouted:

"Soldiers! See? This is why we came to China!"

"..."

This meaningful statement made almost all the Japanese soldiers look at Fujiwara Kanezane with complicated and thoughtful expressions, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

They were unaware that Fujiwara no Kanezane was trying to plant a seed in their minds called "class," "sense of mission," and "His Highness Kanezane is the true king."

But they can feel that something passionate is sprouting in their hearts; don't worry, someone will water this seed more in the future.

One day, hum...

Your Majesty, your seat seems a little dirty. Let me clean it for you... After letting the Japanese fall into thought and imagine the future, Fujiwara Kanezane leisurely walked to the front of the stage, squeezed out Brigade Commander Wang, looked at the thousands of people in the audience, and shouted into the loudspeaker:

"I am Fujiwara no Kanezane, the commander-in-chief of the Manchurian bandit suppression! You can call me His Highness Fujiwara! Or just Your Highness!"

"I came to Manchuria for only three things!"

"Suppress the bandits! Suppress the bandits! Suppress the bandits!" "The question is, what are bandits?"

"In my opinion, people like the Xie family are bandits!"

"Just think about it. You and your wife have been working hard in the fields all year, and now the harvest is almost here, and you can buy some new clothes!"

"Suddenly a group of landlords showed up, stole all your food, took your wife, beat your child to death, and even made you mourn for their dog!"

"This is it! If this isn't a bandit, then what is a bandit?"

“That’s the bandit!”

"Anyone who obstructs the construction of Manchuria Paradise, obstructs the Manchurian people from living a good life, and obstructs the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is a bandit!"

"Whether they are bandits or bandits, they are all bandits!" "Since they are bandits, they must be eliminated! They must be eliminated!" "The days without bandits are good days!"

235 Two or Three Things About the Dividing of Land in Northeast China

In fact, due to the noise in the venue, the poor quality of the PA system, and the language barrier (referring to the ability to understand), most people did not hear clearly what Fujiwara Kanezane said.

But they did figure out a few key points: 1. This "store owner" was going to lead people to suppress bandits throughout the Northeast;

2. This "shopkeeper" wants to kill the landlord and divide the land among everyone; 3. This "shopkeeper" wants to open a factory, he needs a lot of people, and the salary he offers seems pretty good...

So, no matter if he's "Your Highness" or "Your Highness" or "The Store", no matter if he's Chinese or some fucking Japanese, isn't that enough?

What else do you want?!

What must be acknowledged and deeply realized is that in those days, most Chinese people did not follow the path described in later history textbooks: "After the First Opium War, national consciousness and state consciousness awakened."

In fact, it was just a "carnival" for a small number of people, a "carnival" that stayed at the top level and among the intellectual community.

Before the Japanese's inhumanity completely irritated the vast majority of Chinese people, they didn't care about the country, the nation, or the future at all.

The difficult life ahead is enough to consume their last bit of energy. Who has the time to care about anything else?

Just to survive, you have done your best.

Especially those ordinary farmers who live at the bottom of society and work hard in the fields.

To them, it doesn't matter who the master is, we are all just farming, paying taxes, selling our children, is there any difference?

To be honest, after this "918" incident, there's no one in charge anymore, and I don't know what the landlords are busy with. It seems our lives have gotten a little better!

You can't call these ordinary people "traitors".

Because they have almost no sense of "nationality" in their minds, they don't consider themselves "people of a certain country", and they don't care at all about which country the land they stand on belongs to!

Who treats them better... No, with the current excellent matching level in this world, they will favor whoever is a little more humane.

No matter whether the other party is Japanese, American, British, French or some other alien.

Uniting a nation, uniting a country, and turning all forces into one god can never be accomplished by standing in front of a loudspeaker and shouting a few words: "We must work hard! We must struggle! We must die for the party and the country!"

Historically, because a considerable number of the Nationalist troops were even more inhumane than the Japanese, the strange phenomenon of "Chinese people tipping off the Japanese army and even helping the Japanese army to fight the Nationalist troops" appeared more than once on the land of China.

Do you think they like the Japanese? No, they just hate the Nationalist Army even more!

That is why the teacher said to former Army Lieutenant General Endo Saburo who visited China in 1965:

"You are also our teachers. We want to thank you. It was you who fought this battle, educated the Chinese people, and united the scattered Chinese people. Therefore, we should thank you."

(Note: The instructor never said anything like "Thank you to the Japanese invaders for invading China and saving the lives of the Red Army." This kind of rumor is very vicious and everyone needs to be vigilant.)

Because of this, when Fujiwara no Kanezane not only acted as a human being but also as a "big man", one can imagine the reaction of the Chinese people below.

They don't care about "Japanese" or "invaders." As long as His Highness Kanezane delivers on his promises... if he delivers even one tenth of what he said, he'll be the "honest judge" everyone will burn incense and worship!

After the "public trial," several things began to unfold in full swing. The first was the "land distribution," which everyone had been looking forward to, longing for, and paying the most attention to.

The Xie family's crimes were publicized, and most of them were shot on the spot. Some who had committed too many crimes were even beheaded and displayed to the public.

All the property of the Xie family was brutally confiscated and awaited for distribution, and the land under their names was directly taken over by the "Manchurian Empire State-owned Assets Management Bureau" for management.

what?

When was this department established?

Oh, just now, His Highness's words came true. Where is the staff member?

What do you want? You want land!

Having land but still worried about not being able to recruit people?

Anyway, with just one word from His Highness, everything in the Xie family was allocated to the "Manchuria State Assets Bureau".

It is said that a large amount of "fixed assets" will be allocated in the future to strengthen the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

Therefore, the position of director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission is a very popular position, and everyone is coveting it.

However, His Majesty Fujiwara had already made the decision - the measurement and division of the Xie family's land would be handled by Wang Yong, commander of the 386th Brigade! If he performed well, he would be the director!

The reason is very clear and irrefutable - although the Xie family has been destroyed, there are still remnants that have not been eliminated, and other landlords may rebel, so the army is needed as protection and deterrence.

So, Chen Li took up his post and, with hundreds of officers and soldiers from the 386th Brigade, began the work of measuring the land, registering it, and distributing it to each household.

So, under the pretext of "not affecting the construction of the national highway and requiring the National Highway Bureau to come up with a plan in advance," the National Highway Bureau, led by Zhao Ziqi, "reasonably" intervened.

As a result, the Communist Party members hidden in the Manchuria Road Bureau and the 386th Brigade were shocked to find that:

Huh?

what happened?

Putting aside the unfamiliar Director Zhao, why does it seem that Brigade Commander Wang is so adept at "dividing the land"?

As if he had done the same thing!

Someone asked this jokingly and got a "reasonable" answer:

The elders in the family of Brigade Commander Wang used to be the household department of a certain county in the Qing Dynasty (similar to the household department).

Functions include managing land, household registration, taxes, salaries, etc.), so they are familiar with the division of land.

Oh, I see.

No wonder Brigadier General Wang was so highly valued by both the Japanese and the Qing imperial family. It turns out it wasn't just because of his outstanding work ability and social skills...

"...Sir, little...little..."

"We don't call each other little here, so just tell me what's going on!"

Chen Li, whose voice already smelled of ice chips, smiled gently at a man who stood timidly in front of him, obviously wanting to ask something but not daring to.
