1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"Well, I'll think of a way..."

"I have a guess about Ms. Field's intentions. Perhaps...she wants to create a god?"

"Creating a god? Herself?"

"Yes, that's her. If she wants to become a god, she must first reject the previous gods. I think she wants to unify the entire American thought and politics in the form of a so-called god, and then do something."

“What to do?” “MAGA?” “Huh?”

"Make America Great Again" is also President Field's words.

"great..."

"No, that's not what I mean. I mean, after she's made America great, what does she want to do?"

This question caused the room to fall into silence again.

Yes, judging from the intelligence gathered from all sides, with a president like Springfield, the United States will inevitably become stronger and stronger unless there are any unexpected events. But what exactly does she want to do after becoming strong? This is the most important question.

Is it simply to make America great, to spread the so-called "glory of God," or to unify and colonize the world, or... that purpose that no one dares to believe?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wu Hao took the opportunity to sigh:

"Forget it. There's not much point in us guessing here. We should think about how to do ideological work among other comrades in the Party."

"Uh..."

As soon as these words were spoken, no one paid attention to the "purpose" anymore, and everyone frowned.

The lethality of the Field Speech is undeniable, as evidenced by the heated discussions among the CCP's top leaders about its contents.

Therefore, ideological work within the Party is indeed an issue that requires high attention.

It was simply that the S.R.P.'s outrageous support had allowed small radios to be distributed to the company level in the Red Army and the village level in the government.

This naturally greatly facilitated the CCP's communication of laws, policies, and directives to the grassroots, and greatly strengthened the connection between the CCP's top leadership and the grassroots;

To this end, the CCP even launched a radio station called "Voice of Red China" to widely publicize the CCP's ideas and achievements throughout the country, thus breaking the KMT's propaganda monopoly with its dominant position.

According to reports from comrades on the intelligence front in Shanghai, Nanjing, and other places, the Kuomintang authorities were greatly alarmed and mobilized all their forces to try to prevent anyone from listening to the radio station. Many places even posted notices:

"No one is allowed to listen to Channel XXXX. Anyone who violates the order will be charged with treason!" It's so stupid that the Chinese Communist Party doesn't even bother to protest.

Who doesn't want free publicity?

But where there is good, there is also "bad".

The widespread distribution of radios also greatly expanded the opportunities for middle- and lower-level officials to learn about the outside world. Whatever the top CCP leaders could hear, the middle- and lower-level officials could also hear.

"1200 million Americans are absolutely unwilling to give up their radios, which connect them to the world." Isn't this also true of the Chinese Communist Party, which was subjected to a blockade a few years ago and felt like it was dying?

Once they come into contact with the outside world, their thoughts will definitely be affected.

The top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party can firmly uphold their beliefs and carefully and calmly analyze the contents of the Springfield Address point by point. But can the middle and lower levels do the same?

Obviously, it is impossible for everyone to do this, so someone must correctly guide and unify the thoughts of comrades to prevent some comrades from going astray.

Part of the message in the telegram sent by Li Desheng was this: ideological and political work must be caught up quickly, otherwise big problems may arise.

"Okay, let's not sleep today and discuss this issue!"

As expected by the top Politburo leaders, severe ideological turmoil soon emerged within the CCP and within its jurisdiction.

According to reports from local party organizations, various schools of thought began to emerge: some felt that perhaps God really existed in this world, and that President Field was right. Beliefs in materialism and even communism began to waver.

Some people feel that the so-called "Saint President" is nothing more than a huge conspiracy and deception, but they can't put their finger on it and can only feel helpless and furious.

Some people felt that many of the concepts in the speech were very similar to some policies previously promulgated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and they happily spread the word that Ms. Field must also be a member of the Communist Party;

Some people think that this is a ploy used by capitalism to confuse communism. Once everyone lets down their guard, capitalism will "go berserk" and turn communism into what they want it to be.

Some people think that Haruta is a formidable opponent, some think she is a respectable teammate, and some are planning to run away to the United States...

The level of chaos is even greater than that in the early days of reform and opening up, when the concepts of "black cat, white cat" and "Three Represents" had not yet been formally introduced.

This is undoubtedly a very dangerous situation for a political party that needs unified thinking and action. If messy thoughts are allowed to ferment, who knows what will come out.

Fortunately, the top leaders of the Communist Party of China realized this in time and had already confirmed their own strategy through frequent exchanges with all members and alternate members of the Central Committee.

Soon, the "Resolution of the CPC Central Committee on Certain Issues Concerning the Springfield Speech" was officially released, with three main points:

1. The CPC highly appreciates Ms. Field's efforts and achievements in exploring the future of mankind, dedicating herself to global peace, and achieving the unity of the people of the world, and is willing to work with her.

2. The Chinese Communist Party fully agrees with and supports the moral and disciplinary requirements of the "Church of God for the People" founded by Ms. Field, and claims that it also has similar requirements for its party members.

3. The CPC warmly invites and looks forward to Ms. Field’s personal visit to Nanchang to address previous outstanding issues and to conduct more in-depth talks and exchanges between the two sides.

This resolution may seem unremarkable, but it temporarily stabilized the ideological confusion within the CCP.

Not only is this an important and authoritative "resolution" issued by the Party Central Committee, whose authority has grown increasingly stronger with each victory;

Moreover, it well expresses the CCP's attitude towards Ms. Field - regarding her as a capable comrade in the "united front."

I completely agree with your point of view. My requirements for the party are basically the same as yours. I hope you can fulfill your promise and come to Nanchang so that we can talk slowly.

This is something that CCP members with some knowledge and experience in party work are all too familiar with:

First "befriend" it, then "swallow" it.

This is how many non-Party members were brought into the Party.

Moreover, judging by the resolution of the Party Central Committee, their evaluation of Ms. Field is much higher than that of famous non-Party figures such as Soong Ching Ling!

In other words, the Party Central Committee is very confident in bringing Ms. Field into the group, or at least in making her a close friend and capable assistant.

At this point, the debates within the party about "whether Ms. Field is a Communist Party member," "Ms. Field's attitude towards us," and "how to get along with capitalist America in the future" disappeared without a trace.

This does not mean that all disputes have been completely resolved, but rather that everyone is willing to wait patiently until Chuntian personally visits China, formally meets with senior Chinese Communist Party officials and expresses his opinions.

The Party Central Committee has already adopted such an attitude and is ready to welcome Ms. Field. As a Party member, you still have to grumble and say this and that. Do you have any organizational discipline at all?

So, did the CCP's statement cause the "negative impact" and "identity exposure" that Springfield initially worried about?

The answer is, absolutely not.

As Li Desheng's telegram stated, many of Springfield's domestic policies are far more radical and "socialist" than theirs, and there is no way they could be exposed by a mere CCP statement.

Secondly, after the Field Speech, there were countless organizations similar to the CCP that "fawned" over her, claiming she was one of their own.

Roosevelt and other American progressive forces claimed that "Ms. Field is the only president and the only leader of the United States for a long time to come."

The Communist Party USA claimed that "Ms. Field is the chosen one who can lead the United States, the Communist Party of the United States, and even communism forward";

American Jewish groups claim that "Ms. Field is a saint who saved the Jews from the wrong path and allowed them to bathe in the glory of God again";

The German Nazi Party cheered Springfield's "policy of exterminating the Jews," but deliberately ignored the fact that "it was Jewish capital that was exterminated";

After much hesitation, the Catholic Church canonized Springfield in a very timid and fearful manner, but without mentioning the Field Speech.

Protestantism does not have a central church and has not issued any statements, but most believers have already taken the initiative to swear to join the Church of God;

Although the Soviet Union rarely mentioned the contents of the Field Speech, it was particularly enthusiastic about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Even the Kuomintang (KMT) jumped out to claim that Field supported them, saying he "repeatedly quoted ancient Chinese sayings, fully demonstrating his friendliness toward the ROC government."

Japan, Britain, France, Italy... no one stood up to confront Field, and almost the whole world praised him.

In this situation, what does the Communist Party of China, which is not even the legitimate ruling party of China, count as?

Therefore, the CCP issued this statement not so much to praise Springfield as it was purely to maintain internal stability.

However, a document later issued by the United States pushed the CCP, a force unknown to most countries and most people in the world, to the forefront.

The third stop of the new US President, Ms. Field’s global tour: Nanchang, China.

423 Eighty-cent gambler wants to pledge allegiance

"...First visit Tokyo, then visit Shenyang, and then go to Nanchang, right? Okay, I get it..."

"You convey my order on this matter..." "Tell them that it is absolutely not allowed..."

"Brother Xuanren, do you know why I didn't let you report on the navy at the meeting?"

On the way to the dock, Fujiwara Kanezane lay in the back seat of the car. After listening to many reports and issuing many orders, he closed his eyes and asked Prince Takamatsu Nobuhito, who was sitting in the passenger seat, a question. The latter still looked respectful:

"Your Highness..."

"I already told you to call me Kanezane... Never mind... Do you know why?" "Is it because my subordinates haven't made any achievements?"

Compared with the army, which is making rapid progress, and the air force, which has made remarkable progress in other aspects despite the difficulties in recruiting personnel, the construction of the navy of the "Five-Star Eastern Republic" can be said to be seriously lagging behind.

Objectively, it was because during the "September 918th Incident", Shen Honglie escaped with the Northeast Navy warships, all members of the Navy Command and important equipment, and the River Defense Fleet also destroyed the warships, resulting in the Manchukuo Navy being left without a single person when it was established.

Of course, on paper, the current "Republic Navy" was still quite powerful—Fujiwara no Kanezane, despite pressure from the army, had withdrawn more than a dozen warships and over a thousand naval officers and soldiers from the Japanese Navy;

But Nobuhito knew that Fujiwara no Kanezane was actually not satisfied, because the other party had always insisted that "in order to truly transform Northeast China into the mainland and realize the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, it is necessary to absorb a large number of Chinese into various institutions without discrimination."

But now?

Rather than calling it the "Five-Star Eastern Republic Navy", it would be more accurate to call it the "Northeastern Division of the Japanese Navy".

Nobuhito replied, but Fujiwara no Kanezane shook his head slightly.

"No, Xuanren, we're all still young. I'm not in a hurry at all. In fact, I've always felt that our country's development is a bit too fast, and it might mask some problems that will be difficult to deal with in the future."

"So you mean..."

"We don't allow you to report because your report will most likely not match others' because you haven't yet integrated into this country."

Fujiwara Kanezane opened his eyes, looked at Nobuhito who turned his head and asked:

"I heard that some time ago, you and Chongren went to the Almighty Gospel Church's mission site together? Why didn't you tell me?"

"That's not the case, Your Highness!"

Xuanren was a little panicked:

"I just thought that Brother Chongren would tell you, so I..."

After living in Northeast China for a few months, Xuanren has become reluctant to leave. He is very afraid that he will be sent back to Japan and live that boring life again.

"Whether he tells me or not is his business, and whether you tell me or not is your business. Of course, I'm not blaming you for not telling me. Everyone has their own thoughts and privacy. What I'm talking about is your inability to fit in here."

"...Your Highness, please give me your guidance."

"It's not about teaching. You can't fit in because you have no faith." "Huh? Faith...faith?"

"Yes, Xuanren, from what I can see, you don't have any faith." Fujiwara Kanezane began to count on his fingers:

"You don't believe in militarism, you don't believe in State Shinto, you don't believe in Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Islam, or any other religion. You don't believe in feudalism, capitalism, socialism, communism, or Nazism..."

At the end, he spread his hands and said:

"In short, I'm sure you don't have any faith. You don't even believe in the Emperor, who all citizens are required to believe in. You just want to live your life well."

"I..."

Xuanren wanted to defend himself, but he was speechless. In fact, that was the case.

For him, talking about faith is too much of a luxury.

I have been living so cautiously for the past 27 years since I was born. Whether I was adopted or joined the army, I had no choice but to obey. I had no other thoughts and was not allowed to have any other thoughts.

Whatever "XXism" is, he can't say whether he likes it or dislikes it, just like some of the "Chinese-style lying youth" in later generations∵:

As long as I can't avoid it, I will do it, but if anyone thinks I will put in much enthusiasm, then don't dream.

For example, he came with the mission of "building the Manchukuo Navy", but when he found that Fujiwara no Kanezane did not urge him, he started to do nothing, showing very little subjective initiative.

In front of Fujiwara no Kanezane, Nobuhito did not hide anything as usual:

"Yes, Your Highness, I admit that. However, I have diligently completed the tasks you assigned me, so is there any problem?"

"That's fine. I have no objection. However, your colleagues all have faith, whether it's 'Greater Chinaism,' 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt,' 'Three Represents,' or something else entirely. They all have faith."

Fujiwara Kanezane smiled slightly:

"Even Chongren is the same. How many times has the gospel been preached to him since that time? What about you? You don't even believe in me like Yang Yongxin does."

"You have no faith, and they can sense it. So, naturally, you will be seen as an alien by them and naturally they will not accept you."

"...Then what does Your Highness want me to do? Find my own faith?"

"I told you, I'm just pointing this out. You can figure out how to do it yourself... Ah... Here we are..."

As they were talking, the convoy had already arrived near the naval base. From a distance, a group of officers in white naval uniforms were already waiting there. When they saw the approaching car, they quickly came to greet it.

But after getting off the car, Fujiwara Kanezane didn't greet the officers first. Instead, he looked at an "illegal building" on the sea not far away, put his hands on his hips and sighed:
