1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"Your Highness, don't be so modest! I once went to your study with Commander Wang. While he was looking for cigarettes there, he came across your poems!"

Chen Shiren read with reverence:

"The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow, looking at the Great Wall inside and outside..."

Damn Chen Kang, he’s rummaging through my study again.

You'll be dead when I get back.

Fujiwara no Kanezane looked pained, but Soong Ching Ling looked shocked.

Although it is a ci poem, the majestic momentum in the ci poem can be heard even by a woman like her who has not received much education in Chinese classical poetry.

He doesn't even care about the Qin Emperor, Han Wudi, Tang Taizong, Song Taizu, and Genghis Khan. How big is his heart?

Isn't it his dream to conquer all of China and Japan? Could it be that he wants to unify the world?

"'Northern scenery' is self-explanatory, but 'Inside and outside the Great Wall, up and down the great river' must have been the scene His Highness saw when he led his army to attack the Great Wall defense line, so..."

Seeing that Chen Shiren was still bragging, and the matter was really hard to explain, Fujiwara no Kanezane could not listen any longer and interrupted:

"Alright, alright, stop talking about this and introduce yourself to Madam Sun." "Ah... yes..."

Seeing that Chen Shiren seemed to be a little shocked, Soong Ching Ling quickly added:

"Have you been to Northeast China? After seeing the scenery there, have you ever written a poem like this?"

"Yes, I have!"

Chen Shiren became excited again:

"Madam, listen—Changbai Snow Peak bids me farewell, Qianshan Snow Peak greets me with a smile, Qianshan Snow Peak bids me farewell again, and Xing'an Snow Peak welcomes me again... Your Highness, Madam, what do you think?"

Although he asked this, his eyes were fixed on Fujiwara Kanezane, obviously wanting to hear the comments from his real superior.

Song Teng and the other man were silent.

After thinking that her serious comments might be a bit hurtful, Soong Ching Ling hesitated to speak, while Fujiwara Kanezane said a series of confusing words:

"Your masterpiece is magnificent and will undoubtedly be of great historical value in the future. However, I'm not very knowledgeable about regulated verse. I see that you, like me, still have endless room for improvement. I suggest you seek out others who understand seven-character regulated verse for detailed guidance, such as Marshal Zhang of Daming Lake... Okay, next!"

After being kicked aside, Chen Shiren pondered over this passage carefully, and then suddenly realized:

Fuck, doesn't this mean that my writing is shit and I should stop writing anymore? Can you be so tactful?

This person's attainments in Chinese literature are indeed impressive...

Song Qingling suppressed her inner smile and looked at the other young man: "What's your name? How old are you? Where are you from? What do you do?"

“..”

The young man, who was obviously the reserved, quiet, and serious person, simply replied in a calm tone:

"My name is Su Duozhen. I'm from Hunan, 25 years old. I've served as a battalion commander and deputy regimental commander in a certain unit of the Nationalist Army. I'm currently the deputy commander of the 129th Division's Reinforced Special Forces Regiment."

Although the positions are not high, but for such a young man to have achieved such a position in the government and the Northeast, he must be quite capable...

After chatting briefly with Su Duozhen and understanding their basic situation and their thoughts, Soong Ching Ling looked at Fujiwara Kanezane, who looked nonchalant:

"How are you going to arrange them?"

"It's up to you! Anyway, I brought the person to you, it's up to you to decide how to arrange it." "..You really don't care?"

"We agreed to leave it alone. Anyway, I'm telling you, these two are at least capable of being generals or even marshals. If you want your career to succeed, it's definitely a good idea to use them well."

Soong Ching Ling still believed in Fujiwara no Kanezane's "vision". Otherwise, how could Chen Kang be promoted by him?

Otherwise, where did so many diligent, loyal, and honest cadres in the Northeast come from? Putting aside how many spies the CCP has planted in the Northeast, being able to select and promote them from among tens of thousands of people is itself a very powerful skill.

After giving Chen and Su a few earnest instructions like "Work hard here, and there will be places for you in the 115th and 120th Divisions when you return", Fujiwara Kanezane disappeared with his agent.

He really just came to help me win the first battle, handle the initial difficult situation, retain the talents, and then left...

Song Qingling and the two newcomers exchanged glances for a while. Just as she was about to speak, her brother Song Zi'an suddenly came hurriedly over and whispered something in her ear.

Her expression changed slightly, and she immediately sent someone to arrange for Chen and Su to rest, changed the room, and received the visitor.

"...Comrade Xiaokai, why are you here? Is there any news from your Party Central Committee?"

"Yes, Mr. Song, the people sent by the Party Central Committee have arrived."

The visitor was Pan Hannian, the head of the CCP's intelligence organization in Shanghai. As for what he wanted to hand over to Soong Ching Ling, it was also very simple:

Send support.

Song Qingling knew that it was impossible for her to accomplish such a big thing as establishing the "Socialist Democratic Republic of China" alone. After the matter was basically confirmed, she immediately sought help from the Communist Party of China.

There is no way. There are not many people in the Kuomintang who are worthy of full trust, and some of them have fled to Northeast China, Fujian and Guangdong. The closest and only one that is worthy of full trust is the Communist Party of China.

Wu Hao and other high-ranking CCP officials were no fools, and they certainly understood that the other side was setting up such a "state" in Shanghai not so much to "struggle for orthodoxy" as to attract attention.

Whether it was out of consideration to protect Soong Ching Ling, to protect the last conscience of the KMT left wing, or to allow the other side to hold on for a while longer, the CCP had to provide assistance to Soong Ching Ling and her "new country."

Since we already have "sufficient experience" in this area, the relevant personnel were quickly selected and are on their way here one after another.

The first to arrive were naturally the military talents.

"Mr. Song, this is the military and political instructor sent by our Party. His name is Nie Rongzhen. He served as Deputy Director of the General Political Department of our Party, Political Commissar of the First Corps, and Political Commissar of the Eastern Route Army. He participated in the command of the Zhangzhou Campaign..."

"This is Tan Zheng, a Hunan native, 25 years old. He was formerly the director of the Political Department of the 12th Red Army and is currently the director of the Political Department of the 1st Division of the 1st Red Army Corps."

Pan Hannian briefly introduced another future marshal and a future general. Soong Ching Ling recalled the past and asked the elder:

"Comrade Nie Rongzhen, did you ever work in the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy?"

"Hello, sir. I didn't expect you to remember me. I used to be the secretary of the political department of that military academy. I met you once a few years ago."

Nie Rongzhen laughed and said:

"I'll be working with you for a long time to come." "You're welcome. It's a great help that you're here."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Pan Hannian left as he had other matters to attend to. Nie Rongzhen and the others quickly got back to work.

"...Mr. Song, our party has some questions about your new army. Do you..."

“That’s exactly what I told you.”

Soong Ching Ling told Nie Rongzhen everything, including how she managed to gain support from the Americans, how she obtained troops and funds, and how she defeated the General Tax Police Corps.

The latter stood up in surprise:

"That 'King of the Northeast' just left here?!" "Yes, just around the same time as you, less than ten minutes ago."

For a moment, even Nie Rongzhen had the urge to violate the Central Special Branch's principles, immediately gather a team, and go kill or capture Fujiwara Kanezane!

Fujiwara no Kanezane is the core of the entire "Five-Star Eastern Republic". As long as he is gone, that pseudo-nation in Northeast China will collapse immediately!

As if she had seen through Nie Rongzhen's thoughts, Soong Ching Ling said calmly:

"I advise you not to do this. No one knows how many cards he has hidden. You don't think he would dare to come here alone, do you?"

In fact, if the CCP really wanted to do this, Soong Ching Ling would even stop them because it would go against her morality and principles.

In fact, Song Qingling didn't need to say anything, the idea that popped up in Nie Rongzhen's mind the moment before was suppressed by Nie Rongzhen himself the next moment.

Not engaging in political assassinations is the CCP's trademark. If any party member dares to violate this, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will never forgive him.

Moreover, Fujiwara no Kanezane was indeed not on the assassination list. On the contrary, from the perspective of saving the Chinese people, he was still a "meritorious person".

Assassinate him?

Sorry, I’m afraid the Party Central Committee will not agree to this.

"Well, don't worry, we will never do anything to him." Nie Rongzhen reflected on himself and asked again:

"Are those the two people he has assigned to you?"

"Yes, those two people revealed their identities to me. They are probably Chinese, but I'm not sure if there are others who have secretly joined."

“..I see…”

Nie Rongzhen fell into deep thought.

According to previous intelligence assessments, Soong Ching Ling went to the United States to seek support, which was known to the Chinese Communist Party. It was a bit unexpected that Fujiwara Kanezane directly intervened in Soong Ching Ling's establishment of a new country.

What exactly does he want to do?

To establish a new pseudo-regime?

But, putting aside the fact that Mr. Song would never be a traitor, isn't this a typical act of dispersing one's own strength?

With the already highly successful "Five-Star Eastern Republic" in the Northeast, why would they risk intervening in the "Chinese Socialist Democratic Republic" in the heart of the Nationalist government?

Is he addicted to the word "Republic"?

Could it be that he was too proud and thought that Mr. Song would be content to be his puppet? No, no, no, from what Mr. Song said, the other party seemed to have no such intention at all, and did not even ask for his whereabouts not to be disclosed.

So what is he trying to achieve?

Nie Rongzhen was puzzled and had to take note of the matter, intending to report back to the Party Central Committee for a decision.

Now, we must first meet those two "Japanese running dogs" and find out their intentions.

"Mr. Song, can I meet with those two?" Nie Rongzhen was sent to Shanghai by the Party Central Committee for three main reasons:

1. Assist Soong Ching Ling, help her build her army, and consolidate her regime. At the same time, the CCP can take this opportunity to further control a new army that flourished in the KMT's heartland, just as it did in the past.

2. Because he had assisted Zhou Enlai in the Central Special Branch and had performed outstandingly, he was also responsible for assisting Pan Hannian in rebuilding the new Central Special Branch and intelligence network to combat CCP traitors and KMT spies;

3. Leveraging his talents in chemical engineering and other sciences, he established an industrial system for the Communist Party of China in Shanghai to provide essential industrial products for the revolutionary war.

In short, the Party Central Committee judged that the situation in Shanghai had undergone a dramatic improvement and it was time to strengthen the CCP's control over the Shanghai area.

Each of these three tasks was of great importance and quite difficult to accomplish. Nie Rongzhen would not allow any accidents to happen, so he specifically asked the organization for an assistant, namely Tan Zheng.

Otherwise, with the complicated situation in Shanghai, he really couldn't handle it all by himself. "Of course."

Soong Ching Ling gave an order, and the two people who had just been taken away were brought up again.

“...”*4.

Marshal against marshal, general against general.

The four of them stared at each other in silence for a while, realizing that something seemed amiss.

They all worked in the Central Soviet Area and held relatively high positions. They had held several meetings together and even fought side by side. Of course, they knew each other.

But, is it such a coincidence?

what?

what?

what?

what?

Forget it, I don’t know what mission the other party is carrying out, so I’ll just lie in wait for now.

After Song Qingling introduced herself, Chen Yi and Nie Rongzhen greeted each other warmly without showing any emotion:

"Hello, Mr. Chen, nice to meet you! What year were you born?"

"I was born in 01, how about you?" "I was born in 99."

"Hahaha... Then I should call you brother?"

93

The two generals were both taciturn. They shook hands with each other and exchanged a few glances, implying that they would communicate any information in private.

In this way, with the help of the Japanese prince and the Kuomintang’s mother, the two future marshals and two future generals of the Communist Party of China successfully met in the Shanghai area.

469 Spy Playing House

After arranging everything properly, Fujiwara no Kanezane left Song Qingling's place, put on makeup again, and walked leisurely to the gate of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, which was not far away. He was stopped by several guards:

"Stop! Who are you? This is Japanese territory! No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter!"

"Please tell Consul General Iwai that an old friend is visiting. Here, here are my ID and a keepsake."

Although Fujiwara no Kanezane spoke fluent Japanese, the guards did not let their guard down at all.

There's no way around it. Ever since the Hongkou Park bombing and other incidents, there have been more and more Koreans and Chinese pretending to be Japanese and carrying out suicide bombings.

During the most severe period, explosions could be heard and human tissues blown to pieces almost every day in the Japanese consulate and Japanese outposts. The Japanese looked at everyone as if they were large mobile bombs and wanted to strip everyone clean for inspection.

Although their actual losses were not large due to the lack of professional personnel, they were extremely annoying, demoralizing, and affected work efficiency.
