1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

and many more!

What did I just see??

Is this something humans can do!

This is the royal sword!

Not fucking American soda crackers!

At that moment, both the grandfather and grandson of Saionji were even wondering if someone had replaced the real sword.

Could it be that this masked maid is actually a world-class magician?

But no one was willing to use their own body to test whether it was magic.

At least, the sound of metal falling to the ground and the metallic luster of the broken blade cannot be faked.

The room fell into complete silence.

Fujiwara Kanezane took the hilt from the agent's hand, patted it in his hand, and snorted:

"So, no one can order me around. I only do what I want to do."

"..."

Both Saionji Kimmochi and Saionji Koichi knew that what Fujiwara no Kanezane said was true.

With such a maid by his side, at least, it was impossible to force him by ordinary violence.

Unless, a large number of troops are dispatched?

But is that still called coercion?

It's a life-and-death battle, okay?

After all, Fujiwara no Kanezane is the future head of the Fujiwara no Kita family. How could the Saionji family do anything to him?

Thinking of this, Saionji Kimmochi spoke softer:

"Kaneji, I'm just worried that it's unbecoming of you to be with the gang."

"identity?"

Fujiwara Kanezane laughed heartily and said:

"Sir, don't you think that my behavior of not caring about my status at all is the best way to reflect the noble status of our Fujiwara family?!"

"..."

Leaving behind a confusing remark, Fujiwara Kanezane left with the intimidating maid.

The grandfather and grandson of Saionji looked at the broken sword on the ground in silence for a long time.

Finally, Saionji Kimmochi sighed:

"Kongichi."

"grandfather."

"From now on, keep an eye on him as much as possible."

"...I...can't keep an eye on him."

"At least he's willing to give you a little face."

"..."

Although this was true on the surface, Saionji Koichi felt that Fujiwara no Kanezane was not giving him face, but something else.

"Yes, Grandfather, and today..."

After listening to his grandson's report, the politically experienced Saionji Kimmochi suddenly felt that he seemed to have grasped Fujiwara no Kanezane's purpose;

But at the age of 82, he really didn't have that much energy to think, so he could only instinctively take the simplest approach:

"Inform everyone that our Saionji family commends Chang Yong for his actions this time... well... let me just say that Chang Yong's killing of the incompetent termites this time is worthy of praise."

"Hey?"

Saionji Koichi was surprised:

"Grandfather, haven't you always hated those militarists? Isn't this the same as..."

"...You still need to learn one more thing."

Saionji Kimmochi shook his head.

This grandson is capable and knowledgeable, but he is still a little too immature in politics.

Look, see how the group of people on the opposite side attack.

024 The Emperor of Japan's Underworld (I) 1

3356 words

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang.

He was born in the Tokudaiji family of Kyoto, a branch of the Fujiwara clan's northern branch, the Kanin-ryu Seika family, and was the second son of Tokudaiji Munezumi.

Since the then head of the Saionji family, Saionji Motoki, had no children, he was adopted by the Saionji family and named Saionji Kimmochi.

From then on, a veteran of four dynasties who had participated in the Boshin War, studied abroad, served as prime minister twice, and fought wits and courage with the Japanese military forces embarked on the road of politics.

This person's political background is much deeper than some young people today. He just said "I admire Chang Yong for killing incompetent termites" and put some people in the army in a difficult position.

Do you agree with Kimmochi Saionji's views?

In other words, they admit that Hashimoto Kingoro and Okawa Shumei, who were supported by them and were traveling with them, as well as Kita Ikki and others who were not killed, are complete "incompetent parasites"?

If these guys are "incompetent parasites who only know how to embezzle state funds for their own personal enjoyment", then who are the people who promote them, support them and employ them?

Don't support Kimmochi Saionji's views?

Good man, no matter who the person who was killed was, the murderer Chang Yong was from your Army General Staff Headquarters!

Now, outsiders are praising Chang Yong’s behavior, but you your own people don’t support your own people?

If you pass it on, aren’t you afraid that your brothers will be disappointed?

The navy and police are still watching!

This is probably a dilemma.

With just this one sentence, Saionji Kimmochi not only strictly controlled the murder of Nagatake Isamu within the scope of "internal fighting out of righteous indignation", preventing some people from taking advantage of the situation;

At the same time, he also gained the favor of some young army officers and young militarists who were unaware of the truth, forcing some centrists to choose to support him;

Most importantly, Saionji Kimmochi successfully attracted everyone's attention to himself, thus protecting Fujiwara no Kanezane who was "involved" in this matter.

"...This is the method of a political veteran, far beyond the reach of those idiots in the military..."

After hearing what Saionji Kimmochi said from Saionji Koichi, Fujiwara no Kanezane sighed like this.

"Yes, it took me a long time to figure out my grandfather's intention. I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly, Kanemi."

Saionji Koichi glanced fearfully at the agent standing beside him and praised:

"You are so smart, why are you always unwilling to..."

"Alright, alright, Brother Gongyi, let's not talk about politics. I hate that stuff."

Fujiwara Kanezane waved his hand:

"What do you want to see me about today?"

The time has come to January 14, 1932.

On January 9, the Kuomintang's party journal, Minguo Daily, published an article in an inconspicuous corner: "Korean Patriot Li Huosuo's Attempt to Bomb the Japanese Emperor Failed."

Because the title of the article referred to the Koreans who assassinated the Japanese emperor as "righteous men," the Japanese Consul General Kawagoe Shigeru protested to then-mayor of Qingdao, Shen Honglie, saying that "The Republic Daily has an anti-Japanese tendency."

On January 12, the Japanese instigated ronin to cause trouble, and then, under the pretext of protecting overseas Chinese, 500 Japanese marines landed in Qingdao, Shandong, burning, killing, and looting in Qingdao for a whole day;

Afterwards, after successfully getting the editor-in-chief of the Kuomintang's party journal to apologize, suspend publication of the party journal, and publish an apology in the newspaper when it resumed publication, along with a promise not to commit the same offense again, the Japanese army triumphantly withdrew, leaving behind a mess.

Incidentally, in March, the KMT Central Committee issued an order that the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee temporarily lead the lower-level work in secret until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, when it would be publicly re-established.

It can be said that it was a severe slap in the face of the Kuomintang and the Chinese people.

When the news reached Japan, Tokyo was filled with jubilation, dispelling some of the gloom of the "Emperor's assassination."

Servants of the Fujiwara family were also discussing this matter, which reminded Fujiwara Kanezane of a major battle that was about to take place in Shanghai.

He planned to go over and have a look, and have some fun at the same time;

As for the mess in Tokyo?

None of my business.

Tokyo affairs should be handled by Tokyo people themselves.

By the way, did I forget someone?

Never mind, it’s no big deal if I forget about it.

So, Fujiwara no Kanezane packed up and was about to leave for Shanghai with his agent when Saionji Koichi came to him again.

"...I came to see you today because I want to invite you to a tea party."

"The Communist Party?"

"...right."

"I am not interested."

"Very interesting, Kanemi, they are all very powerful people, you can..."

"No matter how good he is, can he be as good as China's Li Desheng?"

"Li Desheng? Who is that?"

"Ok?"

Fujiwara Kanezane then remembered that during this period, teachers had little influence in Japan;

To be more precise, that person seems to be at the lowest point in his life and career.

Speaking of which, the Chinese Communist Party during this period didn’t seem to be very famous?

What have you been doing recently?

Oh, under the guidance of the great Communist International, the Soviet areas are desperately engaging in intra-party struggle!

Do you want to go take a look...

Saionji Koichi thought Fujiwara no Kanezane was avoiding the topic again, so he continued to persuade him:

"Kaneshi..."

At this moment, the agent's voice sounded outside the door:

"Master, we have a visitor."

----

"It's you?"

When Xiyuan Temple saw the person coming, his brows immediately frowned and he shouted:

"How dare you come to visit Kanesato's house? Get out!"

It’s no wonder that Saionji Koichi acted like this without regard for his master Fujiwara no Kanezane.

The person who came was Kita Ikki, the one who had been living a life of luxury and debauchery with Hashimoto Kingoro and Okawa Shumei, who were killed by Naga Yong before.

Putting aside his character, even Koichi Saionji, who had studied Marxist theory relatively systematically, looked down on the other party's theory.

Look at what kind of shit is written?

In 1926, Kita Ikki wrote the article "On the Reform and Revolution".

The content in it about "all revolutions, ancient and modern, have relied on military movements is a universal rule of history", "revolution is the cause of young people", "it is a struggle between an extremely small number of people" and so on is fine;

"Establishing an equal and democratic civil society under the emperor's order, overthrowing the chaebol and the aristocracy", "state capitalism, using a powerful state machine to control the operation of capital throughout the country" can only be said to be utopian;
