1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

For example, Zhang Juzheng (a magical name), the president of the Nationalist government’s Judicial Yuan, delivered a public speech filled with grief and anger, slamming the Soviets harshly:

"...According to recent news, the Soviet Union has gone so far as to rip off its veneer of socialism and join hands with imperialism to oppress our country! They are truly beasts! Worse than beasts!"

What Zhang Juzheng said was actually the result of Chiang Kai-shek's instructions and even the entire Nationalist government's anger, disappointment, helplessness and a trace of unspeakable fear towards the Soviet Union and Stalin.

The international situation seemed to be undergoing some tremendous changes, but the Nationalist government knew very little about these changes and was unable to resist or even intervene.

Amidst the outcry against the Soviet Union, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Nanchang unexpectedly issued a statement. Although the wording was not particularly harsh, the general meaning was also to protest the Soviet Union's sale of the Chinese Eastern Railway to Manchukuo!

This surprised many people.

As we all know, the Chinese Communist Party has always advocated "armed defense of the Soviet Union." During the "Chinese Eastern Railway Incident," it even called on all of China to "welcome the Soviet army."

What? Did they finally come to their senses and realize that the Soviet Union wasn't what it seemed? Regardless of how many mistakes they made before or what the real reason for the protests was, the CCP's ability to issue such a statement this time has indeed added another wave of goodwill to their reputation, which had already been restored in the "Nanchang Monastery Incident."

Aside from being annoyed by the CCP's non-cooperation but unable to reprimand it, the Soviet Union basically turned a deaf ear to China's criticisms and continued to push forward the sale and handover of the Chinese Eastern Railway.

It was not until some CCP members in the Soviet Union began to make a fuss and Chiang Ching-kuo wrote a letter in the newspapers requesting an audience with Stalin that the Soviet Union sent Deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Sakolnikov to speak blandly:

"Since several provinces in the Northeast have now joined Manchukuo, if they reconcile with China and recognize Chinese sovereignty, then the Chinese Eastern Railway, although purchased by the Manchukuo government, will naturally remain Chinese property. If reconciliation is not possible and sovereignty is permanently lost, then the railway will belong to the Soviet government or the Manchukuo government. What difference will China make?"

This translation is a bit awkward, so let’s translate it as follows:

If China wants to retain its sovereignty over the Chinese Eastern Railway, it should fight against Japan and Manchuria. If it wins, it will naturally restore its original sovereignty. The Chinese Eastern Railway will belong to the Republic of China. Otherwise, all this talk is useless!

The Nanjing government, having been tricked, protested to the Japanese government. Japan responded by saying, "The matter was a negotiation between the Soviet Union and Manchukuo, and the Japanese government bears no responsibility." It also mocked:

"We also find the Soviet Union's reply quite reasonable." How do you put it?

Putting aside the stance, this statement itself is very reasonable. Memories of the "Northeast Massacre" and the "Rehe Defeat" instantly came to mind, shutting up many Chinese people.

Although we understand it intellectually, it does not mean that the Chinese can accept the Soviets' words and actions emotionally. It is as if we have been deceived by a scumbag.

As a result, the Soviets were cursed even more harshly.

However, in this intense atmosphere, someone actually "went against the tide." It was Dr. Hu Da.

He published an article in the newspaper - "On the Consideration of the Chinese Eastern Railway and the Four Eastern Provinces in Relation to the Major National Interests."

"...Just as we heard that the Chinese Eastern Railway would be sold to Manchukuo, some radicals clamored for punishment of the Soviet Union and even for war against it. This is truly foolish!"

"...Have you not heard of the great defeat in Rehe? The fall of Chengde? The easy disintegration of an army of 200,000? A small country against a big country, a weak country against a strong country, who rashly talks about going to war, they claim to be patriotic, but in fact they are selling out their country..."

"... those who constantly clamor for resistance against Japan are truly foolish and evil. The argument that fighting the war is patriotism, avoiding war is selling out the country, and compromising is treason is extremely childish..."

The previous content is relatively good. It just says that China's military and national strength are not as good as those of the Soviet Union. Even if the Soviet Union did such a thing, China could only endure it and could not go to war.

Although his words were extremely harsh and full of defeatism, people from all walks of life in China at that time recognized some of what he said, and it even suited the taste of some people.

However, the following content completely exposes Dr. Hu's true ass. Just a few of these excerpts would make a normal patriotic Chinese furious and ashamed:

"...Fujiwara no Kanezane has always been diligent in his work and cared for his people, prioritizing peace. If it weren't for the rebellious government troops, why would Your Highness, your majesty, brave the arrows and stones and march to northern China?"

"What he did in the Northeast was truly for the benefit of the people of the Northeast. After achieving his great revenge, he led his troops back instead of continuing south. This shows the kindness of his heart..."

What this means is that if the National Government had not committed the "Northeast Counteroffensive" and the "Northeast Massacre" on its own, Lord Fujiwara would never have personally led the army to attack Rehe. Everything was the National Government's fault.

Moreover, Fujiwara no Kanezane is a kind-hearted person who loves peace. We should not give up this opportunity and should quickly shake hands with him and make peace, "thoroughly readjust Sino-Japanese relations and create an opportunity for 50 years of peaceful construction for the country."

"...Japan is also facing economic and financial difficulties. Maintaining a large military for a small country is also an embarrassing pressure on Japan, so a peaceful solution is not hopeless..."

"...Commentators often doubt this view, believing that the enemy will not be satisfied. This is a big mistake. The Japanese have truly longed for recognition of Manchuria..."

"They should know that my country will not give up, so they say that there is no need for recognition. In fact, they attach great importance to this point, because they should know that if I do not recognize it, then the League of Nations member states and the United States will not recognize it..."

"If we acknowledge the fait accompli, we will be able to avoid the disaster of war and benefit the country... If we continue to engage in war, given our country's weakness, the strength of the Japanese, and the bravery of Fujiwara no Kanezane, we will have no chance of victory..."

What these words mean is that the Japanese wanted to invade China because they were indeed in economic difficulties, they were experiencing a great depression, and their people were suffering, and there was nothing they could do!

It's not easy for them either. As long as we meet their demands, we can have peace. Why do we have to fight?

The Japanese really wanted Manchukuo to be recognized, but we actually refused to recognize it! If we didn't recognize it, and the United States, Britain and other countries didn't recognize it either, then the Japanese would definitely have an opinion!

The Japanese have opinions because we did something wrong and because we do not recognize the puppet state of Manchukuo;

As long as we are willing to recognize Manchukuo, the Japanese will have no objection and peace will come.

China was weak, Japan was strong, and Fujiwara no Kanezane was so capable, so if we went to war with the Japanese, there would be no other outcome except the destruction of our country!

"We are truly a foolish and lazy nation, one part human and nine part ghost, a nation that has not made any progress. We must admit that we are inferior to others in every way..."

"Not only are our materials and machinery inferior to ours, not only are our political systems inferior to ours, but our morals, knowledge, literature, music, art, and even our bodies are inferior to ours..."

This means... well, there's no need to explain what it means. Anyway, it's just to find all kinds of "legitimate reasons" for the Japanese to occupy the four northeastern provinces.

Dr. Hu Da even proposed a so-called "best solution to resolve the Sino-Japanese dispute," arguing that as long as the following conditions were met, the Nationalist government could recognize the puppet state of Manchukuo.

1. People in the four eastern provinces can choose their own nationality;

2. Citizens of the Republic of China within the four eastern provinces shall enjoy freedom of residence, business, and land purchase;

3. The people of the four eastern provinces must have ample opportunities to establish an autonomous and independent constitutional republic;

4. The people of the four eastern provinces can vote to return to the Republic of China, and other countries shall not interfere;

5. Rehe may not be returned to the Republic of China, but a demilitarized zone must be established. Other conditions remain unchanged.

6. The line from Shanhaiguan to Dushikou is defended by the Republic of China.

7. Japan relinquishes all privileges within China, withdraws its troops, and China and Japan conclude a non-aggression pact...

Judging from this, Dr. Hu probably felt that his peace plan would surely make the people of the four northeastern provinces "welcome the royal army" and "vote for return", and Japan and Manchukuo would also gladly accept it.

Finally, he publicly persuaded Chairman Chiang:

"...We should be determined to make the ultimate sacrifice, giving up the four northeastern provinces, in order to preserve the remaining territory and maintain administrative integrity, and to achieve a thorough adjustment of Sino-Japanese relations..."

"If you recognize that fifty years of peace for our country is worth all sacrifices, then I sincerely ask the government and the people to grant you full authority to make one last peace effort before war..."

"The League of Nations and the International should also aspire to prevent the situation from escalating. This is a matter of urgency, a matter of seconds... All the gossip and opposition cannot hinder a sincere sense of responsibility. This can be asserted!"

What I meant was that I was the one with the greatest sense of patriotic responsibility, so I hoped that Chairman Chiang would also be patriotic and must negotiate with the Japanese to cede the four northeastern provinces and preserve the other territories. This is true patriotism.

As soon as this divine article came out, the whole of China fell silent.

For a while, no one even cursed Hu Shi.

It’s not that people don’t want to curse, but they suddenly don’t know how to curse.

The fact that someone could sell out his country so readily and righteously made many patriots doubt for a moment whether they were the ones who were wrong in being patriotic and resisting Japan.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, rage and astonishment ensued.

Chairman Chiang, who was first publicly @ed by Hu Shi, was shocked after reading the article and said to his subordinates:

"Should we send a doctor to Peking to examine Hu Shih's head?"

He also sold out his country, and indeed he sold a lot of things to Fujiwara no Kanezane through Zhang Qun, He Yingqin and others, but he sold them more or less secretly!

Not only are you selling it openly, but you're also selling it so confidently! I even turned off the lights!

Do you think you are invincible just because you are the Dean of the School of Arts and the Head of the Department of Chinese Literature at Peking University?

Floating?

Do you believe that if I dare to listen to you, I will be shot the next day? However, Hu Shi has certain connections in the United States and Japan. Chiang Kai-shek instinctively felt that he could not rely entirely on He Yingqin, so he planned to keep him in case he needed him in the future.

So, the chairman pretended not to see and did not respond to Hu Shi's words. Then came Li Desheng. After reading the article, he was silent for a long time. He picked up a pen, wrote for a while, and then tore it up. After repeating this many times, he found a notebook he had secretly kept:

“...按照你这逻辑,小日本鬼子揍你的时候,你是否也应该跪下来舔他们的脚，哭着喊着说我的粪门如菊花，还请太君怜悯?”

Well, other words can't express the feelings in my heart, so I'll just copy this!

Soon, a letter filled with all kinds of obscene words, which would definitely be banned if published on a regular website, flew to Nanchang via telegram, and was then refuted by Wu Hao's telegram:

"That's too filthy! You still want to publish this kind of stuff in the Party publication? Are you going to ruin the Party and your image?!"

"Also, didn't you sign a document saying you'd never learn that article? Send me the notebook!"

"Also, no rubbings allowed!"

After suppressing Li Desheng, the Chinese Communist Party officially published a rebuttal article with thousands of words, which was full of curse words and completely exposed Hu Shi's feminine and masculine nature.

Next up was Lu Shuren. He was busy with things like "Travels in Northeast China" and before he could write a post to criticize, he received a message:

Hu Shih gave a speech at a meeting of all faculty and students in the Great Hall of the Third College of Peking University, promoting his "peace theory," which was met with strong boos from Peking University students.

Dean Hu was extremely dissatisfied and yelled at the students:

"You are not Peking University students. Peking University students are rational. Peking University students should stand up and protect the truth!"

One student denounced:

"We are willing to shed our blood for China and sacrifice ourselves to save our country, rather than shouting surrender and compromise. This is our truth!"

Hu Shih cursed back:

"Some people tell you to sacrifice yourself to fight for the country, but I want to tell you that fighting for personal freedom is fighting for national freedom, fighting for personal dignity is fighting for social dignity. A truly free and equal country cannot be built by slaves like you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a student threw a big leather shoe and hit Dean Hu in the face, forcing him to come down from the podium. While scolding the students for having no manners, integrity, or respect for teachers, he ran away with his head in his hands and bleeding from his nose.

Regardless of the public outcry, President Hu, whose stance on selling out the country was even more resolute than that of a certain Hu Diaopan in later generations, simply felt that everyone was being unreasonable:

Putting aside the fact that we can't win, you idiots, can't you see that His Highness Fujiwara no Kanezane is on the verge of unifying the world?

If we don't pledge our allegiance now, are we really going to wait until the enemy arrives at Peking and attacks us with swords and axes before we kneel down and kowtow?

A bunch of clueless idiots!

Hu Shi walked home while cursing, not knowing that he had been targeted.

"Are you sure it's him?" "Confirmed."

"No...why would we mess with him? Besides, isn't this a violation of discipline?" "The boss said he was disgusted by him, and I heard this was an order from the top."

“Hiss… Could it be the palace…” “Shh!”

"But...but...he's speaking for our Manchukuo!"

"Didn't you listen to the first fucking lesson? The Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't need traitors. Manchukuo needs talented people with backbone, not spineless traitors."

...I...ah...I'm getting more and more confused...Okay, let's do it! Do you want to take action or do I?"

"No, didn't the higher-ups say we should give this guy a horrible death? I have an idea."

"What?"

"Call over those guys from the streets of Peking. They're pretty delicate, and he's sure to like..."

"hiss..."

The next day, when the (former) prostitutes in Shanghai began to publicly criticize Hu Shi, an old farmer found a body in a cesspool outside Peking and immediately called the police.

After an autopsy, it was confirmed that the victim was Dean Hu. The main cause of death was suffocation due to feces entering the lungs and too much sticky substance stuffed into the stomach. He was suspected of being sexually assaulted before his death, and his anus was two sizes larger than that of an average person.

Some time later, the Manchukuo official newspaper, the Manchuria Daily, published an article titled "On the Death of Hu Shih." The article consisted of only twelve large characters:

Hu Shizhi, a traitorous dog, disgusts me.

417, someone come! Feed these Beijing gentlemen with a clamp!

"...Tsk tsk tsk... Lao Wang, Lao Wang, these people under you..." After receiving the intelligence from Peking, Chen Wei's face twitched: "Can you do something...ah...that is..."

"Haha, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?" "No, no, I'm fine..."

Although Chen Kang would never treat Hu Shi in this way because he was a Communist Party member, it did not mean that he had no temper, nor did it mean that he would oppose others (non-CCP members) treating the traitor Hu in this way.

On the contrary, seeing Hu Shi's end, he was immediately delighted! Hey! Traitor! He deserved a miserable death!

Let’s see who dares to be a traitor in the future!

Alas?

Wait a moment?

I seem to be from the 386th Brigade of Manchukuo... cough cough cough... saving the country in a roundabout way... lurking, please understand.

To be honest, the person who gave the order to kill the traitor was the very man that the traitor boasted about so much!

Anyway, the world couldn't possibly get any more outrageous, so it was okay for Chen Kang to be a little crazy, right?

"Then why are you so stubborn?"

Wang Yaqiao glanced at Chen Kui and even said with some dissatisfaction: "Damn it, it's too easy for this traitor to die..." "Is this still cheap?"

"Haha, if it weren't for the lack of manpower and the inconvenience of Beiping, I would have made him experience the methods of Shanghai. This traitor..."
