This kind of dirty and tiring work that ordinary people are unwilling to do, where have you ever seen soldiers do it before, let alone such elite soldiers?

But this group of soldiers not only did it, they also cleaned up the surrounding ditches and garbage, and even asked the people if they needed any help, which scared many people so much that they waved their hands and said they dared not do it.

The military helps us civilians with our work?

What kind of fake wine did he drink to have such a beautiful dream?

However, these soldiers didn't care about anything else. As long as they saw someone who needed help, they would immediately take the initiative to help. If they met someone who really wanted help, they would never refuse.

Finally, and what surprised the common people the most was that at night, the military camp was still brightly lit, and faint recitation sounds could be heard from time to time;

Some curious people climbed over the wall to take a look and found that this group of soldiers were gathered together, reading, writing on the blackboard, and even discussing many issues enthusiastically!

ha??!!

A soldier is actually reading?

Aren't all soldiers blind?

Scholar soldier?

But, those people are definitely soldiers!

The skilled manner in which he helped the common people with farm work and civil engineering work made it clear that he was an old hand at this job and his family background was definitely not high.

But these hands, which were obviously used to holding farm tools, could shoot with guns and even write with pens!

this..

We have heard a lot about people who are both civil and military, but who has ever heard of an entire army of 2,000 people who are both civil and military?

Storytellers did talk about the "Gentleman Camp", but didn't they also say that the "Gentleman Camp" was actually the "Advisor Camp" that gave advice but didn't go to the battlefield?

Are all these people "teachers"?

But these "mentors" all carried guns and fought in battles.

In short, this is what ordinary people see:

Now that we're here, we should do our daily military training, right?

So, is it not too much to let the people of Peking see our army's discipline, appearance, and excellent logistics?

During this process, some young people are yearning to join our army. Isn't this reasonable?

Now that we're here, the soldiers have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, right?

So, is it not too much to do business fairly with ordinary people to meet their own needs?

During this process, the masses developed a favorable impression of our army and were willing to support us. This is reasonable, isn't it?

Now that we're here, we can't lose the tradition of our Northeastern soldiers and His Highness's request. We must continue as usual. Isn't that too much to ask?

So, it is reasonable to help the people with their work, solve their difficulties and needs, and protect their safety, right?

In this process, ordinary people are gradually willing to hand over their grassroots power and their lives to us. Is this reasonable?

Now that we're here, we can't relax on patrol, security, or anything like that, right?

So, for our own safety, we have slightly expanded the scope of defense. Is that not excessive?

During this process, we discovered some crimes, and based on military discipline and conscience, we couldn't ignore them, so we had some minor friction with the source of the crimes. Is this reasonable?

Now that I'm here...

Hey.

In this way, more and more people in Peking became confused and curious about the "Gentleman Camp" of "Grandpa Yue" from the north.

Someone took advantage of Zhang Xueliang's referendum failure and risked sending troops into heavily surrounded "enemy territory" to achieve his goal:

freshness.

Once actual contact is made, a sense of freshness will inevitably arise:

Once a sense of novelty arises, curiosity is bound to arise;

Once you are curious, you will inevitably get in touch with and understand;

Once you get to know it, you will inevitably feel a greater sense of freshness;

A virtuous cycle is thus formed.

By then, the Northeast will not need to do any propaganda work at all. Many people will take the initiative to help with the propaganda, and truly "welcome the royal army" from top to bottom.

That’s right, it’s the famous “peaceful evolution”.

If this effect were truly achieved, given the organizational fragility of the Nationalist government or local warlords, would they be able to withstand this type of "peaceful evolution"?

Stop making trouble!

On the solid foundation laid by the older generation of revolutionaries, later generations of China almost encountered great turmoil due to peaceful evolution, let alone now?

Most importantly, although Chiang Kai-shek's army and the local warlords' forces were insignificant, the Red Army, which had already advanced into the northern region, was not so easily "dealt with";

You can't really let his "People's Army" fight with the Red Army or the future People's Liberation Army with bayonets, right?

If these two armies, whose inner beliefs are almost identical, were to fight, the severity of the conflict would far exceed any other war in the world.

Think about it, on the battlefield, there are "Huang Jiguang" and "Qiu Shaoyun" one after another belonging to different factions. Every unit will not leave the front line until the last man...

Just thinking about that scene makes my scalp tingle.

He, Ma, is not an alien monarch from somewhere, so how could he allow such a thing that consumes the elites of the human race to happen?

Therefore, once the "peaceful evolution experiment" in Peiping was successful, when it came time to "deal with" the Red Army in the future, Fujiwara no Kanezane would have enough excuses and reasons to dispel the suspicion and resistance within Japan.

Can't you see the great success that Your Highness has achieved in the Peking area?

How much did that cost?

How much does it cost to fight a war?

You can’t fight. If you fight, you won’t be able to make money.

To "solve" the Red Army at a low cost, it still depends on how His Majesty Kanezane can come up with clever excuses, win over heroes, and exert pressure. Only if they surrender will the Red Army follow suit.

how?

Do we have to fight the Red Army to the death?

Do we have to let the soldiers bleed?

Hoho!

Traitor!

Die!

In short, it took only one week for the Northeast "puppet army" led by two Communist Party members to initially gain a foothold in Peiping.

488 Royal Palace Intrigue

The "peaceful evolution social experiment" in Peking will take time, so let's put it aside for now.

"Agent, please take note. I'm making the following arrangements... ahem..."

"Reply to Zhao Ziqi, he's the chairman, don't bother me with trivial matters..."

"Reply to Chen Geng, tell him to clean up his mess and wait for me to come back and kill him. If he asks why, let him figure it out himself..."

"Reply to Doihara and ask him to pay more attention to the recent developments in Japan and the Soviet Union..."

"Reply to Soong Ching Ling, the person has already been given to her, she can use him as she pleases, don't keep testing me."

"Replying to Chiang Kai-shek, where my navy goes is none of his business... Fine, fine, I'll be nice... Our navy was deployed after the Shanghai Incident to protect overseas Chinese. What? Quanzhou? My family's military exercises are none of their business! I'm in Egypt, so I can go wherever I want!"

"Replying to Chairman Chiang, I will be extremely cautious and will not be caught by the Communists or the Japanese. I will die without regrets. Delaying national affairs is a sin. Please take good care of yourself, President..."

"Replying to Wu Hao, I've reported to Baldy and successfully arrived in Shanghai, preparing to rush to the Northeast. Due to the complex and drastic situation, to ensure safety, I'm temporarily... What was the code I agreed on with him? Oh, I'm offline for the time being..."

"Reply to Dai Li, thank him for his concern and care, and warn him that there must be a high-level spy within the Party Affairs Investigation Section, otherwise Gu Shunzhang would not have been killed."

Reply to Pan Hannian: This is just a small thing, no need to be polite. We are all political parties that believe in the same ideology, so it is natural for us to help each other. I also suggest that they strengthen their infiltration of Dai Li's side..."

Previously, someone had made a bunch of weird replies under a series of weird identities, stirring up trouble with various forces;

Fortunately, his most capable secretary is a top AI from hundreds of years from now, and it is impossible for her to make any mistakes. Otherwise, how could he have such an easy time?

At present, after the major events and layouts on the Chinese mainland have been handled almost completely and corresponding achievements have been made, he can finally be the "Hachimangu Kanezane-oh" in a serious manner and continue to do things in other places.

The target is of course... the beautiful island of Taiwan, which is only a stone's throw away from Quanzhou.

When the Republic Navy Fleet arrived at Keelung Port in Taiwan, not only were there a large number of local officials waiting near the port, but the leader was a strange old man who should not have been there. He saluted Fujiwara no Kaneshiro respectfully:

"Your Majesty Hachiman-no-Miya! Congratulations on your prosperous military career! Conquer another Chinese city!"

“Hahahahahaha…”

Fujiwara Kanezane jumped down from the deck with a hearty laugh and warmly shook the hands of this "relative" he was not very familiar with:

"Uncle Fushimiya, we're all relatives, just call me Kanezane, why be so formal?"

“I dare not…”

The visitor was still cautious and had no intention of changing the address. Seeing this distinguished person behave like this, the other greeters also restrained their expressions and did not dare to act rashly.

He is Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi, the Chief of the Naval General Staff of the Empire of Japan. His real name is Aiken. He is the eldest son of Prince Fushimi Sadaai, a Japanese Army general and brother of Emperor Meiji, who died just ten years ago. He is 58 years old.

Although he was a member of the imperial family and even another uncle of Emperor Hirohito, Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi never dared to show off in front of the current Fujiwara no Kanezane.

If he had not been of a high enough generation, old enough, and experienced enough, if he had not been a naval hero in the Russo-Japanese War, if Hirohito had not needed him, how could he, a non-close relative who was once deprived of the right to inherit the Fushimi Palace, have his current status!

Although they were both "His Highness", compared to Fujiwara no Kanezane, who was crowned a prince at the age of 20 and gained real power through his own achievements, the gap between him and "Prince Hiroyoshi", who only managed to hold on to his position with the Emperor's blessing, was indeed quite large;

It was polite for Fujiwara Kanezane to call him "uncle", but if he really considered himself Fujiwara Kanezane's uncle, then he really didn't know the rules.

"Haha, uncle, I'm a casual person. You'll understand after spending more time with me..."

Seeing that Prince Hiroyuki was so polite and unwilling to "relax", Fujiwara no Kanezane was too lazy to talk to him any more and went straight to the point:

"By the way, why did uncle suddenly come to Taiwan this time?"

"this…"

Due to their limited contact, Prince Hiroyuki was clearly not used to Fujiwara no Kanezane's style of doing things as he said. He paused for two seconds, looked around, and then made a gesture of invitation:

"Your Highness, shall we talk somewhere else?"

"Hold on.

Fujiwara no Kanezane turned around and gave some instructions to Kudo Shunsaku and the others, then walked to the dock shore with Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi, avoiding the others.

"Uncle Bogong, what on earth could have caused you, the Chief of the Naval General Staff, to come all the way from Japan to Taiwan to stop me?

In fact, because there were also people in the high-ranking positions within the navy, Fujiwara no Kanezane knew very well why Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi, who was the Admiral of the Navy and the Minister of the Naval General Staff, was so "out of control".

It was simply because the internal strife within the Japanese Navy was becoming increasingly intense, forcing the other side to come to him, Prince Hachimangu Kanezane, who had great influence over the navy, to ask for help!

This has to start with what exactly the Naval General Staff is.

After the internal struggles between the navy and the army led to the "joint efforts" to shut down the "Joint Staff Headquarters", the General Staff Headquarters became the exclusive plaything of the army;

The Navy also wanted to establish its own "General Staff Headquarters", but was unwilling to follow the Army's example, so it established the "Naval General Staff Headquarters" based on the "Naval General Staff Bureau".

According to the Meiji Constitution's principle of "the Emperor commands the military, and the Supreme Command is independent," the Naval General Staff should actually be parallel to the Navy Ministry.

However, since the successive ministers of the Navy Ministry were either Meiji Restoration veterans or Navy veterans, the Naval General Staff was suppressed and could only be subordinate to the Navy Ministry, compiling training outlines and writing mobilization plans. Their lives were very frustrating:

Until Hirohito actually began to rule the country.

In order to suppress the army, he sent Prince Kan'in Yasuhito as the Chief of the Army General Staff, and in order to control the navy, he sent Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi as the Chief of the Naval General Staff.

The former was relatively successful, but the latter was not so smooth.

As we all know, the navy is divided into the "treaty faction" who advocates compliance with the London Naval Treaty and a rational attitude towards naval expansion, and the "fleet faction" who advocates desperately developing the navy and building ships (this is roughly what it means, no need to go into details).

What faction does Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi belong to?

He was not part of any faction, but the development of the Fleet Faction would help him place people, expand his power, and complete the Emperor's mission, so he supported the Fleet Faction for the time being.

But the problem is that the navy may appear to be more refined and disciplined than the army, but in reality they are just as stubborn and rebellious;
