1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"...This is the current organizational structure of the CCP's pseudo-government and a list of some of its leaders..."

"...This is my guess as to the content of the agreement reached between the CCP and the United States..."

"...I heard the CCP is colluding with the 19th Route Army in Fujian..."

What is an intelligence genius?

This is intelligence genius!

Not to mention Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, even Dai Li, who was listening in, was astonished. How did he get so much valuable intelligence in just a few days?

"...After the explosion, I lied and claimed to be a missing member of the Communist Party, then slept with an important female CCP cadre, and then..."

"Convince? How did you convince him?"

"Sleep clothes, sleep." "...Ah? Pfft!!!"

Chairman Chiang, realizing what was happening, nearly spit out his tea. It turned out to be a beauty trap... a beauty trap!

"...She was a classmate of bandit leader Li Desheng's ex-wife and a good friend of bandit leader Qu Qiubai's ex-wife. She had close ties with many Communist leaders and knew a lot of key intelligence. I saved her, and she..."

Great writer Ding, you've caused so much trouble for the Party and the revolution. So, is it not too much to sacrifice a little honor for my...the Party's cause?

Anyway, I will write it down in my diary in the future.

Mark's mixed words made Chairman Jiang smile ambiguously: "Oh... Mu Zhi, you are really good..."

Although Wu Shi has not yet fully gained his trust, this information alone is worth all the previous investment.

Humph, but it seems that the CCP is not doing any better!

They shout about fairness, justice, integrity and honesty, but inside they are still full of thieves and whores!

This important female cadre who knew so much crucial intelligence was unexpectedly captured by the handsome man we sent in just one day!

What is a sleeping suit? This is a sleeping suit!

Chairman Chiang found considerable comfort in this nonsense. "Thank you for the compliment, President. I have one more thing to report." "What?"

"The Communists don't seem to trust me." "Huh? What do you mean?"

"I wanted to stay in Nanchang, but the bandit leader Wu Hao didn't agree. Instead, he immediately ordered me to go undercover in the Northeast, asking me to work in the central government or the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Northeast puppet government. I think he was testing me..."

“!! !”

As soon as this statement came out, not to mention Dai Li, the master of intelligence, even Chairman Chiang, the master of micromanagement, realized that there must be many CCP spies lurking in the Northeast!

Moreover, this CCP spy was extremely high-ranking and could very well be someone from their pseudo-central government or even the Ministry of Internal Affairs controlled by Japanese official Kenji Doihara!

"...So, Principal, Director, please take a look..."

"Um... Muzhi..."

"headmaster?"

"Since the Communists have said so, to avoid their suspicion, why don't you just take this opportunity to go undercover in Northeast China?"

"The principal is so wise that he will see the students even if they die!"

"Well, well, well, you're worthy of being a pillar of the Party and the country! I think this mere major has wronged you so much!"

"I dare not..."

In this way, a Japanese army lieutenant colonel successfully promoted his rank to lieutenant colonel in the National Government.

462 Fujian-Guangdong Incident! Chiang Kai-shek's government collapses!

While General Springfield was causing trouble in Shanghai and Nanchang, a major event that was about to shock the whole country was taking place in Fuzhou, six or seven hundred kilometers away from Shanghai.

"...Three Represents, huh..."

Li Jishen put down the information, confirmed his previous guess was correct, and smiled at Chen Mingshu, the former Northern Expedition general and former Guangdong Provincial Chairman, who was standing beside him.

"Zhenru, what do you think? Wasn't I right? This Ms. Field has absolutely no affection for Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Even if she came to Shanghai, she would definitely not accept his flattery."

"You're still right..."

After learning what happened in Shanghai, Chen Mingshu, who had been worried about the Americans' reaction, finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy.

Good, good, as long as the Americans don't support that Generalissimo Chiang, we'll have hope for great things!

Seeing all this, Li Jishen shook his head in his heart.

Just like my brother, he still can't get rid of the influence of his unfortunate childhood and the imprint of the old times...

He wasn't a bad guy, but he was a bit backward in his thinking and had a strong warlord vibe.

Although they are not completely profit-driven, most of their life goals are always fixed on their own little piece of land.

No, no, this kind of person cannot be considered a comrade, and it’s even a stretch to call him a “comrade-in-arms”. We have to wait a little longer and observe.

But never mind, Comrade Runzhi said that the development of things depends on whether they conform to the actual situation and objective laws;

It's like a woman giving birth, if she forces the baby out before the seventh month, then it's definitely "left", but if she still refuses to let it out after 10 months, then it's "right".

Some people, unless they learn a lesson, will not be sure who can truly represent China's future and will not easily accept reality.

As long as the 19th Route Army does not fight with the Red Army, some future failures would not be surprising, and it would also be a good opportunity to dig out and eliminate the rebellions within the army.

Thinking of this, Li Jishen smiled and said:

"Since the situation is set, the Guangdong side has been contacted, and you've made up your mind, let's do it!"

"Well, but..."

Even though this was discussed before, Chen Mingshu still had some doubts when the time came:

"...Brother Ren Chao, you really don't want to be the chairman?"

Over the years, he and Li Jishen, the two most influential leaders, had been vying overtly and covertly for the "ownership" of the 19th Route Army, each wanting to ensure that the army obeyed only their own orders.

But after the "Wuhan Defeat" last year, Li Jishen seemed to have lost his spirit and no longer cared about many things. He didn't even seem to care about fighting for military power.

This change made Chen Mingshu a little uneasy, but Li Jishen smiled and confirmed: "Alright, brother, you are just like me. You are as decisive as a word. Now that the rules are set, I won't argue with you anymore. Just focus on your work!"

"Okay! Since Brother Ren Chao is so kind, I will be honored to receive your kindness!" "...Haha, I really hope you can rest assured..."

On March 30, 1933, Chen Mingshu, Vice President of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China and Minister of Communications, Commander-in-Chief of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison and Commander of the Songhu Garrison, officially announced in Fuzhou, Fujian:

Because Chiang Kai-shek has lost his integrity and humiliated the nation, effective today, the former Fujian Province and the former 19th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army officially secede from the Republic of China, establishing the "Republic of China" with Fuzhou as its capital and changing the reign title to "Year One of the Republic of China."

On the same day, the "People's Revolutionary Government of the Republic of China," "Military Commission of the Republic of China," and "Headquarters of the First Front Army of the People's Revolutionary Army" were established based on the former 19th Route Army and the Fujian Provincial Government.

Subsequently, documents such as "The People's Revolutionary Government's Internal Announcement," "The People's Revolutionary Government's External Declaration," "The People's Political Platform," and "The Wanted Notice for Chiang Kai-shek and His Collaborators, Wang Jingwei and He Yingqin" were issued.

They advocated "developing national capital and encouraging industrial construction," "realizing equal rights for all nationalities in the country," "eliminating imperialist influence in China and abolishing unequal treaties," and "distributing land according to the number of people in the country."

This is very similar to the "Fujian Coup" in history, but the differences from that incident are even greater.

For example, the country's national flag was historically a "five-star flag with red on top and blue on the bottom." Red represented workers, blue represented farmers, gold represented uprightness, magnificence, and seriousness, and the five stars represented the great unity of the productive people.

But in this world line, the designer was inspired by something, and while the golden five-star remained unchanged, the overall base color completely changed to bright red... well, just like the background color of the national flag of the "Eastern Five-Star Republic" and the future People's Republic of China.

For example, historically, Li Jishen served as Chairman of the Government and Chairman of the Military Commission, while Chen Mingshu served as a member of the Government and Chairman of the Cultural Commission. This time, the situation was completely reversed.

This is because Chiang Kai-shek's defeat in Wuhan and the series of subsequent defeats led Li Jishen to come into contact with Li Desheng early on, which changed his thinking and made him willing to give in.

Chen Mingshu, who had a strong personality, did not seek refuge abroad, but stayed in the country and was more active in communicating with his superiors and subordinates. As a result, he became the head of the "Republic of China".

For example, in history, the 19th Route Army was also actively suppressing the Communists in the early days after being transferred to Fujian. They fought fiercely with the Red Army and had the blood of many Communists on their hands.

But this time, because the CCP was far more capable of fighting than in history, it started its "Eastern Expedition" early, occupying key areas such as Zhangzhou, Yongding, Wuping, and Mingxi, successfully blocking Fujian's eggs;

Against the backdrop of the KMT-CCP ​​collaboration, the 19th Route Army, lacking a clear interest in its own interests, did not dare to open fire on the Red Army, which had a brilliant record, was strong in both men and horses, had air support, and was clearly not to be trifled with.

Chairman Chiang was trapped in Wuhan for a month or two, and his 19th Route Army was not a direct line of attack. He must be mentally ill to jump out and bring trouble upon himself.

Therefore, not only did the Red Army and the 19th Route Army not come to blows, they also quietly started doing business. After reaping some benefits from each other, they even began to discuss the construction of the Ganmin Highway!

For example, historically, the people involved in the "Republic of China" were basically Li, Chen, Jiang, Cai, Feng Yuxiang (Yu Xinqing), Jiang Guangding, and Sa Zhenbing. Other local warlords were just waiting to see when the other side would get into trouble.

But this time, not only Chen Jitang from Guangdong and Li Baihuang from the Guangxi clique, but also some warlords in the north sent plenipotentiary representatives to "observe"...

In short, compared with the "People's Republic of China" which was officially established on November 22 in history, this time the country was established earlier, with greater momentum, and a better living environment.

Who caused our poor Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to be severely ravaged in the ass (physics)?

At the same time as Fujian declared the establishment of a new nation, Guangdong King Chen Jitang also immediately announced that Guangdong Province and his army would completely secede from the Republic of China, establishing the "Guangzhou National Revolutionary Government" and electing Hu Hanmin, a veteran of the National Government, as its chairman.

Not only that, they also recognized each other with the "People's Revolutionary Government of the Republic of China" in Fujian, exchanged envoys, and echoed each other between the north and the south;

In addition, Chen Jitang himself had been in contact with the Communist Party of China in Jiangxi. Now, Jiangxi, Guangdong and Fujian formed a triangular interdependence.

As for Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others in Guangxi, due to the existence of the "drug trafficking channel" that led to their significant interests in the Chiang Kai-shek government, they did not publicly declare their independence for the time being;

But they had always maintained an ambiguous relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, always in an independent or semi-independent Schrödinger state;

In name, Guangxi belongs to the Nationalist Government and is under the command of the Military Commission. But if you, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, really dare to carelessly send someone to Guangxi to take office and take over power...

Oh, as everyone knows, our Guangxi is a barbaric place. There may be hundreds of millions of bandits, robbers and violent elements. In the three thousand mountains, many people are lost every year (physics).

Next up are Long Yun of Yunnan and Wang Jialie of Guizhou. Although they also haven't explicitly declared independence, what kind of people are these two?

They were just waiting and watching to see what outcome the fight between Chairman Chiang and the "new government" would produce.

They will help whoever wins.

So, in the final analysis, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou have already split from the Republic of China, while Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, and parts of Shaanxi are basically under the (semi-)control of the CCP;

It is no exaggeration to say that "the Nationalist government has lost half of China." This is what happened in the south, and something even worse happened in the north.

Deeply concerned about the excessive military power of the "Five-Star Eastern Republic", Song Zheyuan of Chahar Province, Zhang Xueliang and Shang Zhen of Suiyuan Province, Yan Xishan of Shanxi Province, and Han Fuqu of Shandong Province "colluded" with each other.

At present, these warlords are unwilling to surrender to the Japanese and become traitors (mainly because the Fujiwara no Supremacy is very rude to them and is too lazy to even pay the price);

Nor was he willing to join Chiang Kai-shek, who had always been unreliable and looked like a dead body after several major defeats.

They were afraid that the "puppet army" would continue to attack North China, occupy their territory, or even kill them like they had done to Tang Yulin;

They were also afraid that if they invited the Kuomintang's Central Army to enter North China to help them jointly defend against attacks, Chiang Kai-shek would take advantage of the opportunity to seize the territory.

Therefore, after the "Battle of Rehe", they discussed privately many times and planned to establish a military and political alliance covering North China, South China, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shandong and other areas on the front line of the anti-Japanese war to fight against the "puppet army" in the north.

If they hadn't been sour on the Communist Party and worried about the central government's reaction, coupled with strong opposition from many within their already formed alliance, they might have even considered bringing in Yang Hucheng of Shaanxi and Li Desheng of Yulin...

Well, "CCP-Progressive Warlord Anti-Japanese and Anti-Chiang Cooperation Alliance".

Chairman Chiang was certainly not completely ignorant of this, but after the "Rehe Defeat", he was also worried that the Central Army's entry into North China would trigger a full-scale conflict with the Japanese army, causing Fujiwara Kanezane to take the opportunity to move south, so he could only turn a blind eye.

In short, under the active promotion of Ji Hongchang, Feng Yuxiang and others, this alliance had already taken shape. After hearing that Fujian and Guangdong had openly raised the flag, they simply took advantage of this trend and sent a telegram to the whole country:

The "North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Autonomous Committee" and the "Northern Anti-Japanese Allied Army" are officially established from today!

The north of China in the traditional sense has now also been "split" away.

It is difficult to say how much actual effect this "autonomous committee" had, but the fact that it was established instead of collapsing midway was really thanks to Zhang Xueliang, who showed his toughness for once.

After the loss of Rehe, despite desperate persuasion from his staff and generals, Zhang Xueliang, whose conflict with Chiang Kai-shek had already deepened due to instigation by others, stubbornly refused to resign and refused to take responsibility for the loss of Rehe.

Although this caused strong dissatisfaction among some Chinese people and caused Zhang Xueliang to lose his dignity and political reputation, it preserved the Northeast Army's final strength and territory.

Otherwise, if Zhang Xueliang steps down and flees, as he did in history, the Northeast Army will inevitably split completely this time, and most of them may flee north, back to their hometowns!

By then, forget about establishing an autonomous committee. The war situation in North China won't completely collapse unless you hope that His Majesty Fujiwara is too cold to move!

In general, after a series of miraculous operations from the "September 918th Incident" to the present, the Kuomintang, the nominally legitimate government of China, has successively lost the Northeast, Inner Mongolia, North China, and most of South China and Central China.

As for the Northwest and Tibet regions, which are even further away, is that something the government has the right or the ability to interfere with?

The only areas that could be truly controlled by the Nationalist government were Jiangsu and Zhejiang, of which most of Anhui and Henan were still part of the "Hubei-Jiangxi anti-communist buffer zone", and in Shanghai, only the economic power was barely in the hands of the Nationalist government.

As a result, even worse collapse-like consequences occurred - warlords of all sizes in various places and even people within the government began to openly or secretly obey orders but not announcements, and even refused to listen to "orders" at all.

Chairman Chiang, in danger. "Damn it!!"

In just a few days, the situation regressed by decades, and Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he jumped up and down in his official residence in Nanjing and smashed countless precious porcelains.

Although he had been mentally prepared for the current situation after the "Wuhan defeat" and the "Rehe defeat", he did not expect it to deteriorate so quickly!

Of course he knew the reasons why his warlords were defeated, so he wanted to invent a super bomb right now and fire a few hard shots to destroy Nanchang and those American ships.

"Darling, drink some water... calm down..."

".."

Hearing this voice, Chiang Kai-shek's anger subsided a little. Madam is still the best...
