1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Registered in your own name?

Ah, that's okay. Anyway, she's keeping it for the time being. The couple can live a good life without any worries. But if they divorce, she will have to give it up.

what?

So not getting married?

Then register it under the other party's name?

Okay, if you get cheated or divorced, don’t blame the government.

You've already registered it under the other party's name and signed to confirm it, what can the government do?

The government is not omnipotent.

Hiss...isn't all of this what the CCP is pursuing?!

They never talk about love or ideals, and only talk about "money, money, money." But are they more likely to promote the development of a new socialist marriage model?

Li Desheng looked at Mark with some horror and admiration.

This guy's brain is so sharp?

He didn't know that this wasn't because Mark was so smart, it was just a matter of deducing from historical experience.

The top leadership of the Chinese Communist Party has always been firmly opposed to the practice of bride price and has been desperately trying to suppress this new form of exploitation through transfer payments, but the public has always ignored it and many people still give it.

There was no other way, so the authorities could only resort to risky tactics. Later, various cases related to "ordering the return of at least the betrothal gifts" have clearly explained the most effective way to combat this:

Anyway, you won't listen to me, so if you want to give the betrothal gift, go ahead and give it!

Anyway, if something goes wrong, you just need to see whether the court will recognize the betrothal gift you gave and that’s it.

Kill a few more chickens that paid betrothal gifts but met with misfortune, and severely intimidate other idiots who still want to pay betrothal gifts, so that they can open their eyes and take a good look at whether they should still pay betrothal gifts!

Of course, it is excellent at the strategic level, but the Maternal Prosecution Law is too poor at the operational level, and has produced jokes such as "focusing on confessions rather than evidence" and "although there is no fact of rape, it cannot be said that there is no rape", which have dealt a heavy blow to the country's credibility, increased the cost of trust between men and women, and supported the marriage and fertility rate, which is another matter.

Anyway, the main reason for the decline in marriage and fertility rates, apart from industrialization, is not boxing at all, but various overt and covert, explicit and implicit excessive recordings.

Just like the "White Feather Movement" that originated in the UK, on ​​the surface it was women humiliating men in the name of cowardice, but in essence it was the rulers who lacked morality and wanted to avoid delaying production and needed to recruit soldiers, so they incited women to replace men's jobs and work in the rear, forcing men to go to the battlefield.

Ultimately, it's a class issue.

By the way, let me tell you a joke. The outstanding female representatives who can truly be regarded as "version preview" at this time are precisely the Japanese working women who triggered the rice riots and directly confronted the landlord class and wealthy businessmen. They are a hundred times stronger than the British feminists who only dared to fight men of the same class and did not dare to offend the old men with whining eyes.

...Finally, let's talk about the issue of determining the value of housework. I think you've already figured out that this approach in Northeast China is to force more women not to become full-time housewives;

"What if someone still insists on being a full-time housewife? Then we'll determine the value of their services based on the average local nanny rate! If you like being a full-time housewife, then go for it! Don't cry too loudly when you're abandoned!"

"Our goal is to allow both men and women to participate more in social and economic activities. As for the issues of housework and child-rearing, both parties have to negotiate. This is a game between men and women within the family.

"Of course, the government needs to get involved and build more education and childcare institutions, improve the labor market, and ensure that parents' energy isn't always so heavily tied up in the family..."

"besides.."

In this way, Li Desheng and Mark talked tirelessly in the tent until dawn the next day, discussing all kinds of issues.

Some questions were big, some were small, some were specific, and some were vague. But if Wu Hao and the others were present, they would definitely be able to tell the difference:

These basically point directly to the core and fundamental issues of national construction, and can be regarded as the kind that sets the tone for a new country.

"0 Ping

Li Desheng, his eyes bloodshot but full of energy, solemnly put away his notebook, which was full of notes, and smiled at Mark who was also taking notes:

"Alright, Comrade Mark, I think we've pretty much concluded this time. There are some things we need to each go back and persuade our comrades, arrange implementation, and see how it works... What should we do next? Should we discuss that Non-Aggression Pact?"

"What treaty? Our two armies must fight first."

"Oh, that's right. Hmm?"

557 The Blue Army is going rogue, the Red Army is warm

The Ulanqab area has not been very peaceful and stable in recent months, and many major incidents have occurred.

First, the Yunwang Palace, which ruled over hundreds of people in the Ulanqab area, along with all the nobles, was completely wiped out, leaving no trace. Finally, a new ruler arrived.

Secondly, the new king who took over the Yun Palace not only did not increase taxes as usual, but instead distributed cattle, sheep, and pastures to them, and held a "party" where everyone was treated to free food and drinks. It was like the Changshengtian incarnation.

Finally, the Chinese Communist Red Army, which had been denounced as "red bandits" in the propaganda of Mongolian princes, also came to Ulanqab and confronted the 129th Division in the Northeast.

For Ulanqab, any one of these major events would be earth-shattering, especially the last one - the outbreak of war and the devastation of countless lives.

But strangely, the entire Ulanqab maintained a considerable degree of calm. The farmers, herdsmen and slaves who had completely gained freedom not only did not flee, but instead observed the "meeting" between Fujiwara Kanezane and Li Desheng from afar with great interest.

The grasslands were the same as the Han areas. Even if two tribes were going to fight, the leaders of both sides had to discuss the rules first - for example, how to distribute the grasslands after the battle.

There will definitely be no war before the charter is negotiated.

Moreover, judging from the amazing style shown by the 129th Division in recent days, even if a war breaks out, they will definitely not harm civilians, nor will they allow the opposing red bandits who are said to steal other people's wives to play with to do bad things. Everyone can rest assured.

However, after a day and a night, the talks between the two sides seemed to have broken down.

The two armies retreated separately, and the 129th Division began to send people to notify the herders in Ulanqab not to go out for the time being. It also designated a large "battle zone" and strictly prohibited unauthorized personnel from entering to avoid accidental injuries.

Oh, is a fight finally about to break out?

Well, let's see how capable our new king is and whether he is the next Genghis Khan!

"...Ah, we still have to fight after all..."

Hearing this complaint, a soldier from Xu Shiyou's Red Army unit couldn't help but look at his comrades:

"Comrade Zhang Hu, we are Red Army soldiers. If our superiors want us to fight, then we should fight. Why are you so reluctant? What's the matter? I see you are such a big bully, but you are afraid of fighting.

"It's not that I'm unwilling, nor am I afraid of death... I just, I just don't want to fight with that Northeast Army..."

“Why?

"Look, why did we join the Red Army?

"To liberate the people!"

"What about them? They also want to liberate the people.

"Well "

"If they were just talking nonsense, I would have ignored them. But we also saw on the road that they are really good to the people, and their treatment is almost the same as what we asked. I feel that in some things, we seem to be doing worse than them.

"Since we served in the army and fought to liberate the people and let them live a good life, and they served in the army and fought to liberate the people and let them live a good life, and they actually did it, then why should we fight them?"

"We encountered bandits on the road before, but as long as they didn't harm the people, we didn't fight them. Some of the kind ones even joined us and became part of the Red Army. Aren't they doing better than the bandits now?"

"Then if we beat them up, wouldn't that be a bit unreasonable?"

" this"

The squad leader was speechless, and the other Red Army soldiers who were about to say a few words also fell silent.

Because Comrade Zhang Hu also expressed the doubts hidden in their hearts.

They felt no psychological pressure in beating the Japanese;

When beating up Chinese people, as long as they are bastards, they will beat them even harder:

But what if it is a strictly disciplined army, one that not only does not harass the civilians but actively helps them, one that integrates the military and civilians, one whose style is almost the same as theirs, and whose main members are even Chinese?

Fighting with such troops can easily lead to a sense of guilt: "Why am I attacking friendly forces? Am I committing a crime?" This will greatly affect the morale of the combatants.

This sense of guilt was felt not only by Xu Shiyou's Red Army troops, which had once "deeply penetrated enemy territory," but also by other newly arrived Red Army troops, as the top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party deliberately "indulged" the spread of news from the Northeast.

Of course, this kind of "weakness" will only occur in an army like the Red Army that has educated its grassroots officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers and told them why they are fighting. The Kuomintang and local warlord troops do not have to worry about this at all.

Therefore, someone has already figured out a way to deal with it.

"Comrade Zhang Hu, this is due to your lack of understanding of history.

A voice came from outside the tent. Everyone turned and saw the company commander walking in with a smile on his face. He gestured to stop everyone from greeting and continued:

"In fact, if you read more history, you will understand that similar methods have been used before, so the Japanese can't use them now, and even if they do, they won't be able to use them for long.

"Ah? Then Captain, tell us about it!

"Okay, actually, this is about the Qing Dynasty."

As he spoke, the company commander briefly explained the history of the period when the Ming and Qing dynasties changed.

"...Compared to the Ming army at the time, the Qing army had better military discipline, which allowed them to win the support of the landlord class to a certain extent and seize power. However, the Manchus soon introduced the 'shaving of the head and changing of clothing'."

"...Think about it yourselves. After what the Manchus did, would anyone in China still dare to trust foreign invaders? Would they believe that the invaders were truly doing it for our own good?

There was a sudden realization in the tent, and many people felt a surge of pride.

China's long history has its advantages!

It turns out that the Manchus had already used the same trick that Fujiwara no Kaneki was using, and they had even blocked the road!

yes!

Having been deceived so badly before, even the wealthy landlords would not easily trust the Japanese, right?

What about us?

Although it seemed that the psychological barriers of the comrades had been resolved on the surface, the company commander was secretly sighing in his heart because he knew that the problem had not been solved at all.

The remarks he just made did not come from the Party Central Committee or the Corps Headquarters, but were inspired by them when they were dealing with landlords and wealthy people, chatting with them and asking them about their opinions on Fujiwara no Kanezane.

Although he reported his idea, the company commander knew that his superiors would never agree.

The reason is simple:

The Red Army and the Ming Army were not the same type of army, nor were the Fuji Army and the Qing Army the same thing. To compare the goals and actions of feudal armies with those of modern armies is flawed and can even be considered an insult.

Moreover, that army's performance was truly outstanding. The targets they "did not harm a hair" were exactly the same as the Red Army. You say they were "disguised" and would be exposed once they took over the world. What about the CCP and the Red Army?

If you think about it for a moment, a lot of questions that cannot be answered will come to mind.

But there is no other way. Comrades must have a way to vent their ideological obstacles, otherwise when they really fight with others, the problem will become even bigger.

In fact, the company commander could clearly see that even after he had explained it, there were still a few soldiers with doubts in their eyes, but they just suppressed their doubts and did not say it clearly.

Alas, this chaotic battle, and even the many more battles we will have to fight in the Northeast, will probably be very difficult to fight.

The company commander was terrified at the thought of fighting with "himself".

Regardless, the Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention still need to be observed.

At this moment, a logistics officer ran in:

"Hey! Hurry up, comrades! Go get your company's equipment for this battle!"

"Equipment? What equipment?"

All the old Red Army soldiers knew that the Red Army had always been extremely poor, but it had only in the past year that it had suddenly become much richer. Not only had their clothes and weapons been changed, but all kinds of new equipment were also emerging.

At first, everyone thought that they had obtained it by taking advantage of the "rich" just like the time when they fought Yue Weijun. It was not until some new equipment appeared that even the Kuomintang could not have it that they vaguely realized that things seemed to be different.

However, few people go into it deeply.

Of course it’s the equipment for this exercise!

"Perform....Drill?

"Yes! Aren't we going to conduct military confrontation exercises with the people in Northeast China?

Therefore, the current combat weapons and equipment need to be replaced.

"No...isn't it a war?"

"What were you listening to during the announcement? It's an exercise! An exercise! A war!

There are quite a few misunderstandings like this.

Not only the Red Army has them, but the 129th Division also has a lot of them.

Many people mistook orders such as "prepare for battle" and "conduct military exercises and confrontation" as combat orders. They thought that Li Desheng and Fujiwara Kanezane had completely broken down in their talks and that the two sides were going to fight each other, and they were very conflicted.

With no other choice, the top leaders of both sides could only postpone the exercise and explain to their soldiers what it meant to "use military exercises to replace real combat."

The reason given to the outside world was that the top leaders of both sides assessed that a full-scale conflict would result in at least 80% casualties among the armies of both sides (which was indeed the case), which would be bad for both sides, so after discussion they replaced it with acting...ahem, exercises.

In other words, the two sides really couldn't reach an agreement (fake), but fighting would easily result in both sides suffering losses (real), so there was no other choice (fake), they had to compete to see who was tougher (real), and then negotiate terms and an agreement (fake).

In short, with the strong support from the Northeast, the Red Army added a lot of exercise equipment and planned to have a good competition with the 129th Division, the "Blue Army" in this exercise.

Although everyone was confused about this "game method", the Red Army was not unfamiliar with the exercise itself.
