1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"puff.."

Hirohito couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed out loud:

"If there's a chance, I'd better keep a hand and give those warships to Manchukuo for free. It can be considered a gift from me to you on behalf of the Nanjing government."

"...Okay, I'll go back and give the order later... Ah, Chairman Chiang is truly our good comrade..."

"A guy like this must be allowed to sit on the Chinese leadership position forever..."

"Well, we should keep him. After all... he's our logistics captain. He provides over 10% of the empire's military budget!"

"Hahahahahahahaha... Oh, by the way, speaking of this, I had someone allocate a portion of the Boxer Indemnity that China sent you some time ago. Before you leave, go to the Ministry of Finance..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane had held back on the previous part about "sending gifts on behalf of the Nanjing government", but he really couldn't hold back on this sentence.

The Sino-Japanese War has been going on for a year, and the KMT and the CCP have begun to "cooperate to resist Japan." Not only has the KMT not dared to declare war on Japan, it has also continued to pay compensation to Japan!

Incidentally, many people online later defended the KMT, saying things like, “After the July 7 Incident, the KMT only paid compensation for two months and then stopped.”

"The reparations after September 1937 were not paid directly into the Japanese accounts, but were placed on account at the Japanese Bank of London. The British did not pay them."

"After China formally declared war on Japan in December 1941, all treaties between the two countries became invalid, and all outstanding indemnities, including the Boxer Indemnity, were also cancelled."

"To summarize, the claim that 'the Kuomintang paid the Boxer Indemnity to Japan throughout the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression' is a typical case of quoting out of context."

Oh.

The money lost from 31 to 37 isn't really money, right?

The period between 31 and 41 doesn't count as the Anti-Japanese War, right?

The British intercepting the deal is equivalent to the Chinese not paying any compensation, right?

So if it's rape with a condom, as long as no ejaculation occurs, it's not rape, right? Oh my god.

Forget it, the more I think about this kind of thing, the higher my blood pressure gets.

I'd better think about which article I should refer to in order to "confront" "On Protracted War".

If it really doesn't work, let Comrade Li Desheng help write it. It's really difficult for me;

If this continues, I'll become schizophrenic.

The Emperor and Fujiwara-dono were completely indifferent to the actions of the National Army. It is easy to imagine the attitude of the Japanese, Kwantung Army, and Manchukuo high-level officials towards the "Northeastern Counteroffensive":

Don't be nervous, just defend your position. If the enemy dares to attack, just repel them!

To be honest, apart from those troops commanded by Mutō Nobuyoshi and which Fujiwara Kanezane had not yet infiltrated, other "Japanese and puppet troops" in Manchukuo, such as the 4th Division and the 386th Brigade, did not have time to deal with the "invasion" of the National Government.

Do you think that the series of instructions that His Majesty Fujiwara recently issued to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including the "Central Inspection" and the "Great Purge," can be completed in one day?

Damn it, the heavens and the earth are so big, but nothing is bigger than me completing His Highness's mission! Your national army can't do anything to me, but His Highness will really chop off my head!

Well, even if I don't die, if I get kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce for not doing my job well and not obeying His Highness's orders, my gentle wife at home will really pick up a rolling pin and beat my dick to pieces!

Oh my god, why did we get another report?!

Get the car ready! Let’s go!

I want to see which bastard is violating His Highness's orders and oppressing the people again!!

Thus, a rare spectacle appeared.

Here, the various Nationalist armies were marching towards the Northeast with great fanfare, but they were extremely cautious along the way, moving at an extremely slow pace, and deliberately choosing to travel through deserted areas, not daring to stray too far from the transportation lines.

Over there, the Manchurian Interior Ministry, the 4th Division, the Independent Garrison, the 386th Brigade, the Police Force, and the National Highway Guard were carrying out their duties as usual, even hurriedly.

They were patrolling everywhere, investigating incidents, intimidating those who refused to obey, dealing with complaints from ordinary people (which was very meaningful), arresting criminals, and protecting construction sites across the Northeast...as if the "invasion" of the National Army had never happened.

The two sides generally adopted an attitude of not disturbing each other.

However, the Northeast is too big, the "border line" is too long, and the number of troops involved in the operation is too large...

Somewhere, problems will eventually arise.

The problem lies with those former Northeast Army troops who still remain in the Northeast and have not moved south.

These Northeastern troops were basically the "pioneer puppet troops" who surrendered to Japan along with the former Northeastern high-ranking traitors such as Aixinjueluo Xiqia. They should have been the core troops of Manchukuo.

However, their superiors were almost all killed in the bombing, and Lord Fujiwara only paid attention to the newly established 129th Division 386th Brigade, so they were ignored and even had their military pay reduced significantly.

If it was just ignored, it would be fine, but the problem is that Lord Fujiwara has begun to strictly enforce military discipline, and various reports have been emerging recently. Many officers and soldiers who have committed serious crimes have been shot, causing panic and dissatisfaction in the troops.

Some people choose to retire and return home;

Some were absorbed into the 386th Brigade; some ran off in anger to join the anti-Japanese forces; then, what about the remaining people?

Most of them are just useless people with limited vision and no power. If no one is watching over them, under the high-pressure management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they dare not do anything and can only slowly dissipate;

But the Nationalist army launched a "great counter-offensive".

"Sir! Go this way! I know there are traitors in the village ahead!!"

A former battalion commander of the Northeast Army was overjoyed when he discovered that a Kuomintang army unit was approaching his base. He "gloriously revolted" on the spot and transformed himself into a "National Army" again.

This is a battlefield uprising, and we are going to make great contributions! But the performance of the Kuomintang commanders was a bit strange.

First, they were lukewarm about their "uprising," and then they seemed a little wary of "leading the way":

"How far is it ahead?" "Uh...about...20 miles?" "20 miles..."

Now the commander hesitated.

The superiors had ordered us to take a few photos to prove the "results of the counterattack," but we were not allowed to stray too far from the transportation lines or penetrate deep into the heart of Northeast China...

In short, you must not engage in direct conflict with the Japanese troops in the Northeast! Hide when you see them!

Of course, this was an order from the higher-ups, and the people below (especially the Northeast Army itself) had their own ideas, which could be roughly divided into two categories:

1. One wants to verify whether the rumor that "Northeast China is doing well now" is true, and then make other plans;

2. A kind of hatred for the Japanese invasion, wanting to take this opportunity to take revenge and gain some military merits.

This officer was the latter.

But even so, it would be a great loss to sacrifice one's life in a perfunctory operation for the sake of revenge and military merit.

After much thought, the officer still felt that 20 miles was too far and he could not go alone.

So he called over the leader of a "troop" organized by the Kuomintang that was sent to the Northeast with him:

"...It's said that there's a village just ahead that has divided your land. Take your people and go destroy these traitors!"

"Yes!"

The young man, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks but still vaguely showing his former wealthy appearance, had a glint of hatred in his eyes.

He is a landlord in a village nearby, or rather, he used to be.

Fujiwara no Kanezane carried out land reform and distributed land in Northeast China. Although he eliminated most of the landlords, he did not kill all of them. A considerable number of them still escaped and fled to Beijing, Qingdao, Tianjin and other places.

Then, after hearing their "blood and tears cry", the local Kuomintang party branch almost instinctively organized them and formed a "Returning Home Corps" that later became famous.

Yes, that’s the name.

Hot knowledge: the Homecoming Corps was not an organization that only came into being during the War of Liberation. Long before the "412" Incident, the Communist Party was carrying out land reform in various places, and the Kuomintang established a large number of "Homecoming Corps" to crazily kill revolutionary cadres and the masses.

Then, in this "counterattack", this group of guys who had deep hatred for the Japanese, the 386th Brigade and the people of Northeast China took the initiative to apply to participate in the counterattack.

Of course, they didn't know about the political show, they just thought it was a good opportunity to take revenge.

After receiving the order from their superiors, this group of landlord remnants and their lackeys followed the rebellious "puppet army" and rushed towards the village roaring.

At this time, the villagers who were completely unaware of the danger were unloading the grain transported from the county town. Although they were exhausted, each of them had a happy smile on their face.

Since the "September 918th Incident" happened to occur during the grain harvest season, the damage to agricultural production was fatal, and the farmers in Northeast China had a very desperate winter last year.

If it were not for Fujiwara no Kanezane, Japan, which had already completely occupied the Northeast, would have been stealing industrial and mining resources, enclosing arable land, forcibly collecting grain, destroying irrigation, and burning farmland.

Fortunately, Fujiwara-dono arrived and quickly stabilized the situation in Northeast China, prohibiting destruction, fully restoring agricultural production, and distributing land to the farmers. Even then, he was still worried that they wouldn't have enough to eat, and he got a large amount of "relief food" from nowhere!

By the way, because of corruption and reselling of relief grain, the heads of Manchukuo officials were chopped off one after another and hung on flagpoles in various places, making room for newcomers.

"Listen up, folks!"

After the grain was transported to the village entrance, the newly elected village chief stood on the platform and shouted:

"Every household! This time, men over fifteen years old, 20 kilograms, women, 15 kilograms, and children, 10 kilograms! Come and collect food! Once you've collected it, go home quickly! I heard there's going to be another war! Be careful..."

Before he could finish his words, a young man ran over in panic: "Village Chief! Our Northeastern...Nationalist Army is back!"

Looking at the mountain of food before him, the head of the Homecoming Corps was heartbroken. He didn't know it was relief food from the United States, but felt that this food should have been his, but it had fallen into the hands of these damned untouchables!!!

Fortunately, the great national army finally counterattacked!

Otherwise, how long will these untouchables be able to be proud?

The village chief didn't know what the landlord was thinking. As the village representative, he asked cautiously:

"Sir, these grains were given to us by those damned Japanese. We didn't dare touch them..."

Cursing the Japanese in front of the National Army is not surprising. In troubled times, survival is the most important thing.

Besides, although we are all satisfied with our current life, we are all Chinese after all.

It’s hard to say how long the Japanese can stay here.

After apologizing to Fujiwara Kanezane in his heart, the village chief flattered him, saying, "Everyone is very happy that the commanders have returned to fight back..."

"Happy? You are happy, but I, your Excellency, am very unhappy!"

The landlord, who had once tried to surrender to the Japanese but failed, sneered: "Anyone who sees a traitor like you who surrenders to the Japanese invaders should kill him!!" "Huh?"

"Come here! Hang this traitorous dog at the village entrance, skin him, pull out his tendons, and rip out his heart and stomach!"

"Why??"

The village chief was about to say something when two soldiers knocked him to the ground with their rifle butts. Amidst the blood, he vaguely recognized one of the soldiers; it seemed he was a lackey of the landlord from the neighboring Lijiatun Village.

After that, the village chief had no time to think.

Because the soldiers first gouged out his tongue, then cut off his ears, and then dug out his eyes.

Then, they hung the village chief, who could not even scream, on a pole at the entrance of the village and tied him up.

Of course, the commander of the group must personally execute this kind of "chief offender".

"Listen up, you bunch of untouchables! Anyone who dares to surrender to the Japanese, anyone who dares to accept Japanese food and aid, is a traitor!"

The head of the Homecoming Corps held a small knife and shouted wildly at the cowering villagers below the stage:

"Traitor! You deserve to die! Traitor! This is what happens to you!"

As he spoke, he cut open the village chief's abdomen with a knife, and the contents inside fell to the ground with a popping sound.

In the midst of extreme pain, the village chief vaguely heard words like "Oh, you are using too much force, he will die too quickly", "It doesn't matter, there are still many traitors", "Commanders, brothers want to have fun", "It's up to you".

Traitor...

Japanese...

Nationalist Army... Chinese... Why?

Why, even though we are all Chinese, they treat us worse than the Japanese?

I'm sorry! Your Highness! I was wrong! I was so wrong! They are not our own people!!

They are not human!!!

387 Chairman's assist is too powerful

"Asshole! Asshole!!"

The furious Lu Xun, like Mr. Zhao beating Ah Q in his novel, madly beat a Northeast Army soldier who was pinned to the ground, and no one else could stop him.

The only difference is that Mr. Zhao only slapped Ah Q once, while Lu Xun slapped him again and again, and even borrowed guns from Japanese soldiers to swing around and hit him, almost beating him to death.

Because Soong Ching Ling had left and the investigation team's research in the Northeast region was almost over, Lu Xun planned to return to Shanghai to write an article. When he passed through the Jinzhou area, the Kuomintang's counterattack happened to begin.

Thinking that his own army's territory was just a few steps away, he ignored the obstruction and insisted on returning. As a result, he saw a village with black smoke on the road. When he got closer, he discovered that the counterattacking Northeast Army and the Homecoming Corps were committing violence.

He and Snow and the others were quite brave. They rushed forward and angrily denounced the other side's atrocities and revealed their identities. Unexpectedly, these thugs wanted to kill them to silence them!

If Fujiwara no Kanezane had not issued a death order, requiring Lu Xun and others to be protected even if they were rejected, and if Fujiwara no Kanameta had not been specially transferred to follow them, this great writer and foreigners such as Snow would have really died.

But Lu Xun was not angry because he almost died, but because these "nationalist troops" were killing, burning, looting, raping and committing all kinds of atrocities in the village, as if they were not in their own country, but treating citizens of an enemy country!

As a world-renowned literary giant, Lu Xun had indeed witnessed the suffering of the Chinese people; otherwise, he would not have been able to write such penetrating works.
