1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

1. The cost is too high and the efficiency is too low. Even a place like Beijing, with such a concentrated population and relatively high political literacy, cannot hold a referendum in the short term, let alone a nationwide referendum.

2. The will of the masses who have not received sufficient political education can be easily distorted and guided, and their true intentions cannot be well reflected.

3. The choice between either this or that can easily lead to open divisions among the masses and cause internal conflicts among the masses. Politics has always been an art of compromise in dealing with the gray world. It is impossible to be either black or white, and this is especially true for the country.

As for how to improve...

Wu Hao pondered the advantages and disadvantages of the "Soviet system" and "American-style elections" and began to think about what kind of democratic system China should adopt in the future.

"…Okay, okay..."

Li Desheng, who had also received the results report, showed no sign of worry. Instead, he clapped his hands and laughed.

"This has taught the people a deeper lesson about class contradictions!"

Compared with Wu Hao's thoughts and concerns about the system, Li Desheng saw something deeper.

Although this referendum was not completely fair and impartial, it did prove that the majority of ordinary Chinese people don't care about ethnicity or country, they only care about who treats them well and who treats them badly!

Although the 50 votes were somewhat inflated, they fully demonstrated the enthusiasm of the people of Peiping to participate in politics and fully proved that class contradictions were the biggest contradictions, and that national contradictions were really not worth mentioning compared to class contradictions.

If you can't gain the support of the masses, what does it matter if you are Chinese?

If you have the support of the masses, what does it matter if you are Japanese or even American?

Just because you are called "Chinese Government" doesn't mean you deserve to rule China!

The so-called nation and country are merely human definitions. The real factor that determines whether you can maintain your rule over the world lies in whether you can truly represent the interests and demands of the local people.

Although the masses don't yet understand what "communism" and "class contradictions" are, with this introduction as a "demonstration point," the possibility of people from different countries and nationalities uniting together will be much greater!

The "Three Represents" is indeed an extension of the truth of Marxism!

I just wonder how people in Northeast China, who had already won a landslide victory but had their gains taken away with far-fetched excuses, will react to the referendum results.

Fujiwara no Kanezane was not in the Northeast, and after learning the result, he had no reaction.

The expected result!

Like the Communist Party of China, he also sent a large number of people to help Zhang Xueliang complete the referendum and slightly guide public opinion.

Of course, considering that he has so many hundreds of millions of Communists under his command, it is okay for you to insist that it is the CCP that is helping him.

It's real help, not the kind that causes trouble.

After all, he also wanted to see how high his support rate was in Peiping and how Zhang Xueliang would deny his decision if he really voted for him.

Look, he's really starting to act recklessly.

Of course you can renege on referendums, but the prerequisite is that you have the ability to suppress all opponents!

The people of Peking might be easy to suppress, but the King of Northeast China was not so easy to deal with.

If such a good opportunity is not seized, not only in Japan, but even in Northeast China, there will be a lot of discontent, right?

"Agent, orders..."

Soon, an article titled "Fake Democracy, Real Dictatorship - Zhang Xueliang, If You Can't Afford It, Don't Play It" was concocted and quickly published in every newspaper in Northeast China.

If 18 years of age is used as the standard for individual capacity, then more than 60% of adults in Beijing, or 90 people, should be eligible to vote. 50 votes are more than half, so how can it be said that they are "not representative of the people of Beijing"?

"Even in the US presidential election across the ocean, there's never been a requirement for two-thirds of the population to vote in order for the results to be valid!"

"Let's take a step back and say that, according to Pan's reasoning, if half of the people in Peking supported Zhang Xueliang, then there should be 35 people supporting our Five-Star Eastern Republic, and in the suburbs and outside of Peking, there should be nearly 50 people!

"Isn't the will of 85 adults enough to represent the will of the people of Peking? Isn't 85 votes enough to choose a new 'President of Peking'?"

"In my opinion, this so-called 'Peking Referendum' was a complete sham from the very beginning. If Zhang wins, everything will be fine. If Zhang loses, they will use all sorts of excuses, even force, to suppress him!"

"Zhang Xueliang, the tragedy the day before yesterday and the riots in Peking were not your fault. You should have corrected your mistakes. But by going back on your word this time, you have truly lost all dignity in representing the people of Peking!"

"If you can't afford a referendum, don't even try it in the first place!

"a shame!"

This article lambasted Zhang Xueliang to the point of utter wrath, but it was mainly criticizing him for being undemocratic, without much of the resentment of "I could have been the master of Peking, but I didn't because you broke your promise."

Many people read Fujiwara no Kanezane's confidence from this statement - "Beijing is just a mere city. I can take it down with a flick of my hand. Whether there is a referendum or not, or what the result is, makes no difference to me. It's just that you, Zhang Xueliang, are doing things too shamefully, so I have to scold you.

However, the Kuomintang central government, which had little support inside and outside the city and had lost face along with Zhang Xueliang who lost the referendum, was not so frivolous.

Although the article also criticized Zhang, the words used were much harsher - such as "splitting the country", "deliberately creating conflicts", "surrendering to the enemy and selling out the country".

Zhang Xueliang was almost called a traitor among traitors, which was very different from Chiang Kai-shek's previous attitude of calling Zhang Xueliang "my brother".

But this is nothing surprising.

Back then, Chiang Kai-shek even called Feng Yuxiang "Big Brother"!

The Chinese Communist Party, Soong Ching Ling, Japan, the United States, Britain and other forces all sent people to write articles criticizing the Beijing referendum presided over by Zhang Xueliang, and also scolded Chairman Wu.

However, at this time Wu Peifu was discussing "remuneration" and the future political structure of Peiping with Zhang Xueliang, and everyone pretended not to hear.

Just curse me, it's already happened, cursing won't cost you much.

meat.

However, at this moment, a shocking news came from Shanhaiguan:

The 129th Division entered the pass.

484 The Fall of Yuguan

"I am Wu Kehua, the commander of the 1st Battalion, 715th Regiment, 358th Brigade, 129th Division of the Five-Star Eastern Republic Army!"

A young man speaking Northeastern Chinese with a Jiangxi accent looked up at the nervous Northeastern Army soldiers at the Shanhaiguan Pass and said politely and loudly:

"Please ask your commander to come out! I have something important to inform him!"

M

At this time, the 9th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Northeast was stationed on the defense line near Shanhaiguan, and the "battalion commander of the Northeast puppet army" facing him was Major An Dexin, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 626th Regiment.

He looked at the neatly-ironed military uniform of the young man who looked to be no more than 20 years old under the city wall, and a trace of subtle envy flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Captain Wu, I'm An Dexin, commander of the 1st Battalion, 626th Regiment, 9th Independent Infantry Brigade. What brings you so many people to Shanhaiguan? What's the matter?"

He spoke very politely. After all, the army on the other side was not only from a powerful country that had beaten them many times, but also had many more people than them.

As for who the other side calls themselves, the battalion commander?

What's the fuss?

Your camp has at least one or two thousand people!

An Dexin, who had no idea how terrifying the organization of the 129th Division was (both historically and now), suspected that the other party was the regimental commander or even the division commander pretending to be the battalion commander.

Anyway, it's definitely not a good intention.

"It's Captain An, hello."

Wu Kehua politely saluted An Dexin:

"I believe you already know the final result of the Peking referendum, so you should understand why we are here."

"this."

Ande was stunned and felt awkward.

He was of course aware of what was happening in Peking, and like most people, he believed that the so-called "insufficient numbers" was simply a disguised way of shirking responsibility, which was extremely embarrassing.

But the higher-ups had already done so, and he, a junior officer in the Northeast Army, could do nothing but play dumb and pass the buck:

"I'm sorry, Captain Wu, I don't understand what you mean. Otherwise, I will send my regimental commander..."

"Captain An, since you won't speak frankly, I'll speak frankly.

Wu Kehua interrupted An Dexin directly:

"Now that the election results are out, and since the majority of the people of Peking have chosen His Majesty Fujiwara no Yama, then, at this moment, you should peacefully hand over Peking to us.

"Well...well...Captain Wu, I can't make the decision.

"Then please open the Shanhai Pass and let our troops in. We will take over Peking on behalf of our government.

"Sorry, I can't make the decision on this.

"Then please let someone who can make the decision come here.

"Sorry, the officers are not here right now.

"Then please help inform them that I need to lead my troops into Shanhaiguan. At the very least, I can discuss the peaceful transfer of Peking with your top leaders.

"that.."

While An Dexin tried his best to fool Wu Kehua politely, he cursed to death all the superiors who hid behind the scenes and refused to show up.

How dare you let a mere battalion commander take on such a big responsibility?

If you want to fight, fight. If you don't want to fight, give way. It's such a simple truth. Is it so difficult to decide?

If the person on the other side was Japanese, with Andersen's temper of preferring death to disgrace, if the other party dared to speak like that, he would have fired a few rounds of bullets at him, or at least scolded him to death, no matter how much he grumbled;

But the man on the other side was clearly a serious Chinese, from the south, and his attitude was polite. Andexin knew that even if he gave the order to shoot, not many of his men would respond.

After all, they are from the Five-Star Eastern Republic!

puppet army?

Sorry, what is "fake"?

After the two chatted for a few words, Wu Kehua seemed to have lost his patience and waved his right hand heavily downwards:

"Captain An! I've heard you're an upright and courageous man. Tell me clearly now! Has our country legally gained control of Peking? Should we enter Peking?"

An Dexin was weak for a moment, and after a long pause, he gritted his teeth and tasted his conscience.

Say:

"No...no, it's all in the newspapers. The number of voters..."

"Hahahahahahahaha...a newspaper?"

Wu Kehua laughed out loud:

"Captain An! Do you believe what you said? Newspapers? Which is more credible, the newspapers of my Republic or what those people in Peking say?

M

Hechanghe

Of course...you guys.

After hearing Wu Kehua's questioning, An Dexin's face was as embarrassed as a monkey's butt.

Although Pan Wenyu and his team managed to fool people at the referendum with their impressive performance, everyone came to their senses afterward. Furthermore, after the Northeastern newspapers published their analysis, a wave of criticism erupted.

Not only were people in Nanjing, Shenyang, Yulin, Nanchang, and Shanghai criticizing him, but many newspapers in Peking also criticized him, and Zhang Xueliang didn't even dare to refute him!

Not only were the newspapers and intellectuals criticizing them, but even the soldiers themselves thought this was a shameless and despicable act!

Just like what that Northeastern newspaper said - "If you can't afford it, don't play it"!

You set the rules yourself, and then you find excuses to shirk your responsibility when you lose?

How is that any different from a casino sending people to rob gamblers of their winnings?

To put it in the simplest terms of men, it is - "Feel the two balls under your crotch to see if they are still there"!

You are not as good as the "outsiders" in the construction of Northeast China. Now you are not even as magnanimous and have the most basic character as them. If you don't feel ashamed, I am ashamed!

nausea!

Disgusting!

Seeing that An Dexin didn't even dare to meet his eyes, Wu Kehua raised his voice:

"Captain An! And my brothers behind you! I ask you all to ask yourselves with all your consciences: since the founding of the Five-Star Eastern Republic, have we done things that are worthy of the people of Northeast China? Have we done things that are worthy of your elders and fellow countrymen? Are we better than Zhang Xueliang and the Kuomintang?"

No one answered.

Because the answers to these questions are too obvious, no one dares to answer them.

You know, many of the troops and the "returning home group" who carried out the "Northeast Massacre" came from Shanhaiguan!

Therefore, this group of officers and soldiers knew better than ordinary people what happened afterwards. Some soldiers' families even died at the hands of their "comrades-in-arms."

Otherwise, how could the "Three Represents" spread so quickly within the Northeast Army? How could it so quickly disrupt the morale of the entire Northeast Army and the people of Peking? How could it so easily "trigger" the "Peking Riots"?
