1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"I'm sorry, please convey my gratitude to Mr. Fujiwara no Kanezane, but I can't possibly serve the invaders.

He knew how sensitive his identity and status were, and how much impact or even damage it would have on the Communist Party of China and the Chinese revolution if he went to the Northeast.

"Mr. Chen, please forgive me..."

"I know, you want to talk about 'Three Represents', right?

Chen Duxiu interrupted Hu Di:

"That's right. Whoever can bring happiness and well-being to the Chinese people is qualified to rule them. I agree with this. But in fact, he is an invader after all, and I will never serve an invader.

"List."

"Okay! No need to say more! Please go back!

Chen Duxiu showed such a resolute attitude that Hu Di was silent for a while, then suddenly saluted:

"Mr. Chen, please allow me to express my respect for you. Now, please allow me to bring another person to see you.

"Alas?

Not long after, Hu Di's "attendant" came in from outside the cell and nodded to Hu Di. The latter left the cell, and the former searched the room. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he also took off his hood. Chen Duxiu was even more shocked:

"Comrade Pan...???

“Yes, Chen…Mr. Chen.

Chen Duxiu took a deep breath and realized that Hu Di must be a CCP spy hiding in the Northeast, and he had achieved a very good position!

Wow, the CCP actually managed to contact me through the channel of collusion between the Japanese and the KMT!!

Chen Duxiu's heart was filled with both joy and a hint of sadness.

I am delighted that the CCP has actually developed to this point;

Sadly, I can no longer participate in it.

After calming down a bit, Chen Duxiu began to communicate with the "newcomer":

"So, comrade, you came here on orders from the Central Committee?

"Yes, Mr. Chen, to make a long story short, the secretary and the chairman asked me to ask you if you are willing to return to the party organization.

A

This made Chen Duxiu silent for a while.

"If I say yes, you will find a way to rescue me?

“No, even if you don’t want us to, we will still find a way to rescue you, but the method will be different.

If Chen Duxiu was willing, the CCP would immediately overturn its previous decision to expel Chen Duxiu from the party and formally protest to the KMT.

If he doesn't want to, then we have to find another way.

Chen Duxiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked sarcastically:

"What's going on? Has the Party Central Committee changed its opinion on how to deal with me? I thought you would continue to say that I was the leader of the opposition!

During this period in history, after Chen Duxiu was arrested, people from all walks of life, including Hu Shi, were desperately trying to rescue him or kill him;

Only the Chinese Communist Party, under the intervention of the Communist International and the leadership of Wang Ming and others, did not do either of these two things, but instead engaged in all-round ridicule and sarcasm.

On October 23, the 37th issue of Red China, the official newspaper of the Provisional Central Government of the Chinese Soviet Republic, published an article titled "The Leader of the Liquidationists Cannot Escape, Chen Duxiu Arrested in Shanghai":

"Chiang Kai-shek might not necessarily spare his life because of his anti-communist nature, or even turn a disaster into a blessing and remain a Chiang Kai-shek official for a few more years!"

On November 1, the Central Soviet Area’s Red China magazine, issue 38, published an article: “Unfortunately, my prediction has come true. Chen Duxiu is going to be Chiang Kai-shek’s anti-communist advisor! If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.

On November 14, the second edition of Red China reported: "News has come out from the Kuomintang Military Court that Chen Peng is quite quiet in prison. He reads the Party Principles book every day (Mr. Chen has since converted to Chiang Kai-shek)... How could Chiang not applaud his righteousness!"

On December 21, Red China published an article titled "Chen Duxiu's Liquidation Clique Rebelled Against the Party and the Communist Party! Let's Listen to Jiang Menglin's Account." The article stated, "After Chen Duxiu rebelled against the Party, he surrendered to the bourgeoisie and became a running dog, acting as a vanguard of 'anti-communism.'"

and many more.

How to evaluate?

The smell of a villain who has succeeded and is taking advantage of others' misfortunes is overwhelming. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "unsightly" and "shameful".

You are a serious political party!

The person arrested was the first leader who made great contributions to your birth and development!

Even if there were some disagreements, even if Chen Duxiu made some mistakes, at least the friendship was still there, right?

Why don't you just keep silent? Why do you have to make it like this?

Well, let's take a step back and say, since you've already called him a traitor, why not just kill him?

Anyway, just like the "Protecting the Soviet Union Incident", this incident caused the CCP to lose a lot of points in the eyes of many people, especially intellectuals.

But this is a global phenomenon. Due to someone's intervention, the CCP saw some historical issues earlier, so it did not comment on Chen Duxiu's arrest. Instead, it kept a backup plan and rescued him secretly.

Pan Hannian knew that Chen Duxiu was resentful and the source of his resentment, but he did not receive orders from the Party Central Committee, so he could not say it openly and could only hint at it:

"Mr. Chen, there have been some changes within the party that you are not aware of. Since your party membership and position have not yet been restored, I cannot clearly inform you now.

The implication is that as long as you agree to return to the Communist Party of China and resume your party membership and duties, some things will be cleared up for you.

Chen Duxiu narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and suddenly asked:

"Comrade, is it because of something that happened after the Kuomintang destroyed the Shanghai Party Central Committee that the Communist International's interference in our...CCP has decreased in the past year?"

Although he was expelled from the party and had fierce conflicts with the Communist Party of China, Chen Duxiu still paid attention to the party and learned a lot of information from various channels.

The growing strength and continuous victory of the Communist Party of China are also the reasons why his secretary Xie Shaoshan betrayed him much later than in history.

By the way, this time, the man surrendered after being arrested and tortured because he was too showy, not because he surrendered voluntarily because his status was not satisfied.

M

As expected of the former leader...

Those "weaknesses" were indeed not his intention.

Pan Hannian did not answer, but this was the answer.

Chen Duxiu understood, paused, and then asked:

"The CCP is still unable to completely break free from the control of the Communist International and the Soviet Union, right?

"So that means our party still needs Soviet aid?

M

Pan Hannian remained silent, so Chen Duxiu quickly made a decision:

"I understand. Then I refuse to return to the party and I refuse your rescue.

"Mr. Chen, we have the ability to rescue you, whether it is 'legal' or 'illegal'."

"I know, but, comrade, you have to consider some things that you have to consider.

Chen Duxiu shook his head, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes:

"If you rescue me, what will the Soviet Union think? What will the Communist International think? What will Stalin think?

Pan Hannian remained silent.

In fact, the Party Central Committee also has concerns about this issue.

Chen Duxiu was hated to the core by the Communist International and the Soviet Union, especially that person...

Even so, after careful consideration, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China still decided to rescue the people.

As long as Chen Duxiu is willing to be rescued.

"So, you can't get involved in saving me. On the contrary, you should distance yourself from it as much as possible. Otherwise, if it affects the aid, it will be more trouble than it's worth.

"List…"

"Okay, that's it, leave quickly, don't worry, I will keep it a secret. Seeing that Chen Duxiu had made a decision, Pan Hannian did not persuade him anymore:

"Mr. Chen, we have never doubted your integrity, otherwise I would not have come."

"Well, thank you for your trust, you."

“However, there is one more person who wishes to see you.

"???"

besides???

So my place is crowded with guests today?

After Pan Hannian left, a more concealed figure suddenly appeared, "Hello, Mr. Chen Duxiu, my name is Chuntian.

496 How about forming a new Trotskyist faction in the United States?

"...Hello, my name is Haruta."

This time, Chen Duxiu's eyes widened the most. Spring Field!

President of the United States!

She actually came to me in person?!

Even someone as resolute, stubborn, and fearless as Chen Duxiu could not help but feel his chest heave several times before he managed to calm down completely and made a gesture of invitation:

"Ms. Field, please take a seat." "Yes, thank you."

Chuntian, who was so covered up that not only his appearance but even his gender could not be seen, sat down across from Chen Duxiu with a smile on his face, not rushing to get to the point:

"Mr. Chen, how are you doing? Did the Kuomintang give you any trouble?" "Not bad, not bad. They just interrogated you a few times, no torture." "Haha, I don't think they would dare to."

"Yes, but they..."

Haruta's attitude is quite unpredictable.

Even in such an awkward situation, his handsome face, which seemed inhuman, always wore a gentle and polite smile, and he always firmly controlled the rhythm and atmosphere of the conversation.

One can't help but sigh that he is truly worthy of being called the President of Springfield.

After the two chatted for a while and asked some questions about life, Chen Duxiu finally spoke first:

"Ms. Field, what brings you here?"

Of course, he wasn't so stupid as to think that Chuntian was just bored and came to hang out in the Kuomintang prison, but he couldn't figure out how the two words "President of the United States" and "Chinese Communist Party" were connected.

Could it be that the two sides reached some kind of miraculous cooperation in Nanchang?

ha?

Even if the largest capitalist country wanted to seek external cooperation or assistance, it should have turned to the Soviet Union. Why would it turn to the CCP?

Despite its considerable achievements, in the eyes of most people, isn't the CCP just a larger warlord?

"Haha, before we talk about this, Mr. Chen, I would like to ask you a question first."

"What?"

"Do you regret the failure of the Great Revolution and your expulsion from the party for joining the Trotskyists?"

This question caught Chen Duxiu off guard.

It's not that he hadn't thought about it in the past few years, but he didn't expect to be asked by an American, and the President of the United States;

But after thinking for a moment, looking into Chuntian's beautiful eyes filled with encouragement and expectation, Chen Duxiu suddenly answered resolutely as if venting his feelings:

"regret!"

If Wang Ming or some people in the party heard this answer, they would probably be ecstatic and extremely proud:

Did a tough guy like Chen Duxiu finally realize his "mistake" and give in? But Chuntian knew it was definitely not the case and continued to smile:

"Oh? What do you regret? Why do you regret it?"

"I regret that I gave in to the Communist International because of the financial issue. I regret that I did not correct their erroneous instructions more resolutely.

"I regret not inheriting my second uncle's property and selling it all. I also regret not establishing our own party's own hematopoietic organization sooner!"

"I regret not having systematically studied Trotsky's theories and political positions, not having carefully analyzed the internal political struggles of the Soviet Union, and having blindly trusted certain people and made a choice!"

In later history books, when talking about Chen Duxiu, the sentence is often as follows: "Right-wing opportunism, compromise and concession to the Kuomintang reactionaries which led to the failure of the Great Revolution, and organization of Trotskyists to split the party organization, etc."

But the real history is not so simple.
