1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

really!

really!

Chen Ying is not alone! He is not alone!

There is definitely one or more hidden Communist gangs within the Five-Star Eastern Republic!

Maybe he has been hiding since the Manchukuo period or even since the time of Zhang Xueliang and his son!

Good job!!

Hahahahaha...If we can dig out the communist elements in Northeast China, it will definitely be a great achievement!

Let me think, how should this be done...

Li Shiqun was secretly thinking about how to dig deeper and how to reveal Chen Geng's identity to the Japanese without letting Fujiwara Kanezane or Doihara Kenji lose face, while Chen Geng was sneering in his heart.

Through this test, even though he had not yet received a reply from the Party Central Committee or Shanghai, he was already very sure that Li Shiqun had become a traitor.

Because Chen Geng and Zhao Ziqi, who were the highest officials in the military and political departments of the Five-Star Eastern Republic, were extremely important for the CCP to control the Northeast.

In order to ensure their safety and to ensure the advancement of the plan, the Party Central Committee would generally only arrange for people who did not know them to work in the Northeast to avoid mutual embarrassment.

If they had to arrange someone who knew them, they would definitely notify them in advance and seek consent. It would be impossible for them to just throw someone over without saying anything like Li Shiqun did, and it would be even more impossible for him to still not tell them the unique code after he showed up.

So, there is no doubt that Li Shiqun was lying, and there is no doubt that he had betrayed.

Fujiwara no Kanezane is worthy of being Fujiwara no Kanezane, his guess is really accurate.

We really need to find a way to stabilize this guy, then move him away, squeeze out all his value, and then find a way to get rid of him.

"Oh, since you're not here to see me, you probably have other tasks, so I won't ask any more questions."

Although Chen Kang's attitude was not very enthusiastic, he still showed the mutual help that should be shown among Communist Party members:

"I'm about to lead my troops out. If you need anything, you can go to Army Headquarters and someone will contact me for you."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Brigade Commander Chen...Wang."

Thinking of his bright future, Li Shiqun said a few polite words and then asked impatiently:

"By the way, Brigade Commander Wang, are you really going to attack the CCP this time? I remember it was Li Desheng's Red Army in Yulin, right?"

"Of course, Fujiwara no Kanezane has already said that, so how can we not fight?"

"So what should we do? Do we really want to fight among ourselves?"

"Isn't this easy? Just put on a show."

"That's the army you can control, right? What about the troops led by Fujiwara no Kanezane himself? And what about the Japanese troops? Do they really listen to you?"

“Of course…”

Chen Ying was about to answer nonchalantly, but suddenly, as if remembering the rules, he glared at her:

"This isn't your mission. Why are you asking so many questions? Pay attention to organizational discipline!"

Just like a few years ago, Li Shiqun was taught a lesson again. He secretly resented it, but his face still showed an expression of concern for the country and the party:

"I just don't want to fight against my own family!"

"It's a good thing to have this intention, but organizational discipline is organizational discipline..."

No matter how cautiously Chen Kang tried to hint at the other party members, he refused to reveal the identities of the other party members, which made Li Shiqun very angry, but he did not dare to cross the line for fear of arousing suspicion.

At this moment, he felt somewhat fortunate that he had left Chen Kang with a bad impression of being "reckless" and "lacking in organizational discipline" - after all, I am a "rough guy", so isn't it normal for me to make some mistakes?

At this time, Chen Kui was also complaining silently.

She had to act in front of Li Shiqun while also being consistent with her character to avoid him suspecting she was acting. She had to win Li Shiqun's heart while also being careful not to actually leak secrets...

Fujiwara Kanezane is right. He hasn't acted for too long, and his acting skills have declined significantly. He is no longer as brilliant as when he was beaten by special correspondent Ma Shiwu.

Fortunately, not long after, Kenji Doihara knocked on the door and came in. He seemed to have just discovered Chen Kang was here, and smiled and high-fived him:

"Brigade Commander Wang, what are you doing here? Are you trying to build relationships with my people and poach him again, just like last time?"

"What do you mean by your people and my people? They are obviously His Highness's people. Chairman Tu, you are so careless with your words. Be careful or I will go to His Highness and complain about you!"

"Hahahaha... Go away, am I afraid you'll sue me?"

"Hey?! Are you trying to see who is more trusted by His Highness?"

"

The scene of the two men joking and obviously having a very good relationship made Li Shiqun suppress his previous thoughts of exposing the truth and gaining merit.

This bastard Chen Kui is still that "socialite".

Not only was he highly valued by Fujiwara no Kanezane, he also had a close relationship with Fujiwara no Kanezane's absolute confidant and his future boss.

Even if I expose him, will Doihara believe it?

Even if Doihara really believed it, what if Chen Kui was also recommended by him? What if the two of them teamed up to deal with him in order to avoid being punished?

Be careful, be careful, keep acting, don't act rashly.

Here, Doihara finished his usual greetings with Chen Yan and turned to Li Shiqun:

"Mr. Li, your mission has been assigned." Li Shiqun was startled and stood up straight: "Please give your instructions, Lord Doihara!"

"Well, Your Highness has considered it. I have a very important mission this time..."

Kenji Doihara informed Li Shiqun of the general outline of this "Grassland Ignition Operation":

"...So, His Highness felt that I was short of people around me, and since I recommended you, he decided to assign you to me to complete this mission together. Li Sang, do you have the confidence?"

"Yes! I am willing to die for you!"

Although he was very reluctant to go to Mongolia and wanted to stay in the Northeast to continue digging deeper into the Communist Party, Li Shiqun did not dare to refuse.

This is the first time someone has assigned you a mission, it's like a token of allegiance, and you dare to refuse?

Do you still want to mix?!

"it is good!"

Doihara Kenji patted Li Shiqun's shoulder affectionately and corrected him with a smile, "But you're not dying for me, you're dying for His Highness. In the entire Northeast, there will always be only His Highness as the sun. Do you understand?"

Even with the temperature of the sun, you might not be able to bear it... "Yes!"

呵?

sun?

The sun that was fooled around by Chen Geng?

Chen Geng couldn't help sneering in his heart as he watched Doihara hypocritically "winning over his subordinates".

Humph, idiot.

Although many of Doihara's goals are not consistent with mine, we are a perfect ally when it comes to killing you.

I will temporarily leave the task of eliminating traitors to him.

540 The Western Army fights, Fujiwara gains advantage

If he had just crossed over and faced a traitor like Li Shiqun, Fujiwara no Kanezane would have killed him immediately, or at least tortured him like he did to Kawashima Yoshiko before killing him.

But after meeting and interacting with enough historical celebrities, becoming "Hachimangu Kanezane-no-Ou", and taking control of the Northeast, the mentality of this later-generation entertainer changed considerably.

It turns out that the so-called historical figures are just ordinary people who can cry, laugh, be afraid, eat, sleep and shit. There is nothing special about them.

Therefore, for a mere Li Shiqun, we can use him in any way that maximizes his value. There is no need to kill him in a hurry.

After leaving this task to Doihara and Chen Mie to practice, Fujiwara no Kanezane quickly caught up with the vanguard troops that had already set out in advance and arrived at the first stop of this expedition:

Rehe Province was threatened by a restless anti-Japanese force in North China. "Report!"

"Come in!"

When Zhang Zongxun, a veteran Red Army soldier, a veteran Party member, and Li Desheng's old subordinate, the commander of the 358th Brigade of the 129th Division, stepped into the tent, he saw Fujiwara Kanezane writing and drawing on the map very seriously. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

How great it would be if this person was a Chinese, a member of the Chinese Communist Party?

In that case, the liberation of the whole country is just around the corner...

Forget it, I can’t dream anymore. I’d better do my job well and wait for the Party Central Committee to issue the order to seize power!

That's great. I'll risk my position to help this impeccable Japanese man and at least save his life.

"Your Highness, Zhang Zongsun has arrived to report!"

"I know it's you. Keep your voice down and don't disturb me while I'm thinking." Fujiwara Kanezane said without turning his head.

"Okay, now that I'm here, I'll just pick out the key points of the work I assigned you earlier."

"Yes!"

Zhang Zongxun began his routine work report. What kind of work was it?

When Zhang Zongxun first occupied Rehe, Fujiwara no Kanezane personally arranged for him to do the following:

Crack down on bandits, restore production, thoroughly eliminate landlords, encourage the masses to denounce spies and reactionaries, educate former soldiers and prisoners, expand the army, train professional military and political management personnel, widely carry out anti-drug campaigns, literacy campaigns, and production self-help campaigns...

Yeah, it sounds and looks familiar.

Zhang Zongsun carried out the plan seriously despite the difficulty. After organizing the common people and killing many landlords and bandits, the overall effect was quite good.

"...The above is the result of the work done over the past six months. Please review it, Your Highness."

As he spoke, Zhang Zongxun handed over a handwritten report. Fujiwara Kanezane glanced at it and said disdainfully:

"You've done a good job, but next time, keep these reports simple. Every word must be focused. Delete any nonsense like 'under the wise leadership of His Majesty Hachiman-no-Miya.' You're not allowed to appear again. Understand?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I won't ask about your daily work. I believe you can handle it..." Fujiwara Kanezane threw the teaching stick to Zhang Zongxun and gave up the map position:

"Tell me, in which direction has the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army been moving lately?"

"Yes, Your Highness, this army is currently stationed near Gubeikou, Xifengkou, Chicheng, Fengning, Duolun, and other places..."

The Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army, also known as the "Chahar-Suiyuan Anti-Japanese Allied Army", was an anti-Japanese force formed in the Zhangjiakou area by Chinese patriotic general Feng Yuxiang and others to resist Chiang Kai-shek's "non-resistance policy".

This is the official explanation.

In fact, things cannot be that simple.

If we have to say, Feng Yuxiang certainly had the courage to fight against the Japanese, but he also had the courage to expand his own strength in the name of fighting against the Japanese, and even more so.

Historically, the unit was only officially established in May of this year, but the ever-changing domestic situation, especially the CCP's victory in Wuhan, greatly stimulated Feng Yuxiang's ambition, causing him to announce its establishment at the beginning of this year.

Immediately, they purchased weapons, organized training, and solicited foreign aid, intending to attack the Five-Star Eastern Republic, win a few battles, recapture some territory, and gain more support from the people.

Of course, because someone acted too quickly and Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang made too many bold moves, many of Feng Yuxiang's plans failed, and until now he has only "developed unnecessary ambitions for Rehe."

As for the real threat? I can't see it at the moment.

Anyway, based on the intelligence he had, Zhang Zongsun judged that even if Feng Yuxiang really launched a full-scale attack and the two sides fought each other, the strength of the 358th Brigade alone could at least hold out until the arrival of reinforcements from the Northeast.

"...Feng Yuxiang himself served as Commander-in-Chief, Qiu Shanning as Chief of Staff, Zeng Jishang as Secretary-General of the Secretariat, Fang Zhenwu as Commander-in-Chief of the Front, and Ji Hongchang as Commander-in-Chief of the Front..."

"...the establishment of a 'People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army Military Committee' to handle all military, political, financial, and diplomatic affairs within the People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army region, with the power to enact all laws and issue orders..."

"...Currently, Fang Zhenwu's troops are... Zhao Dengyu's troops are... Peng Zhengguo's troops are... Fuchun's troops are... Ruan Xuanwu's troops are... Zhang Lingyun's troops are..."

"...Based on the intelligence we currently have, this unit appears to have had contact and cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party. The extent of this cooperation is currently unknown..."

When talking about the last piece of "information", Zhang Zongxun carefully glanced at Fujiwara Kanezane and found that the other party did not seem to notice anything, and even made a tut-tut sound in his mouth:

"Tsk tsk... Damn it, this is such a grand show, clearly planning a full-scale counterattack. It really looks like a scene of vibrant vitality and everything competing to flourish..."

"Uh... Your Highness, what should we do next?"

According to Fujiwara no Kanezane's previous orders, as long as the southern army did not take the initiative to attack, the 358th Brigade would focus all its energy on improving its own strength and restoring people's livelihood;

Originally, Zhang Zongsun was quite happy about this because it would avoid the problem of internal strife, but now that the highest leader of the Northeast has arrived in North China, war is probably inevitable.

But, how would his immediate superior start the fight?

We have to find a way to save the 29th Army and other anti-Japanese forces.

噫?

etc?

Bridge bean sack?
