1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

The moment we arrive is when the general attack will begin.

"Yes, but, Your Excellency, how do we respond to Shanghai?"

"Isn't this a ready-made excuse?"

Consul Murai pointed to the trash can:

"Tell them that we will not be satisfied until Wang Yaqiao is captured and killed!"

"Yes!"

Just as this subordinate went out to pass on the order, another subordinate from the Army Staff rushed in in a panic:

"Colonel, something terrible has happened!"

???

Shortly after the Nationalist government responded to the Japanese, large numbers of members of the "Iron-Blooded Anti-Traitor Corps" suddenly rushed out of the major streets and alleys of Shanghai.

This group of thugs who usually bully men and women and cause trouble to the local area were not busy collecting protection fees at this moment. Instead, they rushed into major movie theaters, newspaper offices and printing houses with suitcases.

Then, they did three things.

First, they used an axe to force cinemas to play the "films" they brought;

Second, using an axe to force cinemas to offer free movie viewings to the public;

3. They used an axe to force newspapers to write articles based on the text they brought and then send them to the printing factory for quick printing.

"..."

The Axe Gang's strange behavior left everyone confused.

No...what are you doing?

The Japanese have specifically called for your boss to be killed, yet you're still so arrogant?!

Besides, when war is about to break out, who would have the mood to read newspapers or watch movies?

Despite thinking so, many people still walked into the cinema and bought newspapers out of curiosity because it was free.

Then, public opinion exploded.

Because the so-called "movies" played in the cinema were actually the interrogation videos of the "five naked pigs" before they were killed, the interrogation videos of several Japanese ronin, and various videos of them at the scene of the riot!

The 1930s was not as developed as the Internet in later generations. If people wanted to obtain information, they could only do so through movies, newspapers, telegrams, and even word of mouth.

Among them, movies are the simplest and easiest way to understand and the easiest way for the public to actively help promote it!

Through the explanation of the subtitles, everyone finally understood the Japanese's overall plan. While they were shocked and angry, they also felt refreshed!

So that's how it is. The Japanese are really shameless!

Now let’s see what you say!

At the same time, after seeing the text content, the newspaper began to consciously or unconsciously exert its efforts, and the printing factory worked at full capacity, striving to reveal the Japanese plan as quickly as possible!

Just like the Tanaka Memorial incident back then, at least it can make them lose face internationally, or at least put them on the passive side in public opinion!

Related news such as "The Japanese deliberately provoked, the Japanese monk incident and the Three Friends incident were all conspiracies" quickly spread.

At the window of the room in the Cathay Hotel, a man and a woman were looking at the vast Shanghai, watching the members of the Axe Gang, newspaper employees, and newsboys running around.

Shanghai is moving.

"Have you figured out the locations of Tanaka and Kawashima?"

"Yes, I have marked their signal in the cloud map."

The agent, dressed in men's clothing and a black hat covering his hair, answered softly and then asked:

"Commander, did you think of all this when you first started planning?"

"what you mean?"

"The attitude of the Kuomintang government, the attitude of Wang Yaqiao and the Green Gang, the attitude of the Japanese... and so on."

The agent recalled his actions over the past few days - from arresting the five guys to "arranging" Wang Yaqiao to do this and that, it seemed that every step was taken very accurately.

This cannot be achieved simply by knowing history.

What's more, the commander did not ask him about the historical details of this period.

"Of course not. We'll just take it one step at a time."

"...As expected of you, you are so far-sighted."

"Haha, enough, stop flattering me and get ready for action. This isn't over yet!"

"...You've changed so many things. Will the Japanese still invade Shanghai?"

"..."

Facing the agent's question, Mark turned his head:

"...I'm not going to tell you about some unstoppable trend. I'm just asking you, agent, would you be polite to a weakling who is no match for you?"

"I have no interest in the weak."

"Yes, you are not interested, but humans are not humanoid. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is something that is engraved in human genes. You will understand it later."

Mark waved his hand:

"Go! Go and bring bad luck to those stumbling blocks!"

041 Death of Future Vice Admiral 1

2920 words

In a developed metropolis like Shanghai, when a gang leader wants to publicize something, the news spreads very, very fast.

As a result, the warships staying outside Shanghai, the fleet that was rushing towards Shanghai, and the Japanese who were marching and demonstrating on the streets of Shanghai and preparing for war were all in an awkward situation.

Although they didn't care about the excuse for starting a war, nor did they care about "no justification", but "being caught with no justification" was still a bit...

Of course, even if such a change occurred, it would not affect Japan's determination to attack Shanghai.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

Whether the navy can stand up and completely break free from the shackles of "the army dominates the navy" depends on this time!

plan?

what's the plan?

Plan to cause trouble?

nonsense!

That is a shameless slander!

That was a confession forced out under torture!

How could the Empire of Japan do such a despicable thing!

Putting the facts aside, so many of our people died! !

Don’t you Chinese have any compassion at all?!

With the army in hand and the Chinese being too weak, the Japanese were too lazy to even engage in verbal attacks. Facing the inquiries from Shanghai, they casually perfunctorily answered while continuing to prepare for war in full swing.

Of course, not everyone was punished.

After being beaten and scolded by Colonel Murai and being ordered to arrange people to kill Wang Yaqiao as soon as possible, Tanaka Takayoshi walked out of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai with a gloomy and injured face.

He still has things to investigate.

The news that broke out yesterday confirmed one thing:

Someone told the whole plan to Tianqi and the other five, who were not supposed to know the whole plan;

The only people who knew the whole plan, apart from Colonel Murai and Lord Itagaki who was far away in the Northeast, were him and a certain woman.

Damn it!

Kawashima, you'd better not let me find out it's you!

Due to the approaching war and the events of the previous few days, the Chinese people's anti-Japanese sentiment became increasingly strong. Tanaka Takayoshi was not stupid enough to go out on the street alone. He took two of his men with him, disguised himself, and went to the Chinese neighborhood.

However, among the Japanese expatriates who were preparing to run to the Japanese army-controlled area to seek protection, someone suddenly called out his name with a deep sense of surprise:

"Longji-kun!"

"Ok?"

Tanaka Takayoshi was surprised.

After I took up my post in Shanghai, which man would still call me by this name?

He looked back and immediately revealed a surprised expression:

"It's you! Kanezane-kun!"

The person who came was Fujiwara no Kanezane.

Why does he know Tanaka Takayoshi?

Because Tanaka Takayoshi was good friends with Hashimoto Kingoro, Okawa Shumei, Kita Ikki and others;

And the former "Fujiwara Kanezane"...

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, even Tanaka Takayoshi, who was in a bad mood, couldn't help but smile, but this aroused his wound, and he suddenly grimaced.

Fujiwara Kanezane asked doubtfully:

"Longji-kun, what are you doing..."

"I am fine."

Tanaka Takayoshi waved his hand, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his former "little brother," and changed the subject:

"Come to think of it, weren't you in Tokyo? Why are you in Shanghai?"

"Come to Shanghai and play!"

Fujiwara Kanezane said without hiding anything:

"And by the way, I'll complete the task that His Majesty the Emperor has arranged for me to go to Manchuria... woo woo woo..."

Tanaka Takayoshi quickly covered the man's mouth and pulled him into the alley next to him, sighing in his heart:

First, Fujiwara is still so carefree, unconcerned, and without airs;

Second, it’s good to have a noble status, you can easily meet the emperor and take on tasks to gain merit;

3. This guy still trusts him as always and hides nothing from him.

"Don't talk about Manchuria!"

"I know, I know, but it's you!"

Fujiwara Kanezane waved his hand nonchalantly, then turned the topic back to Tanaka Takayoshi's injury:

"Did something happen to you recently? Why are you injured like this?"

"..."

Tanaka Takayoshi was a little unhappy, but he knew that Fujiwara Kanezane meant no harm, so he didn't get angry, but his voice became a little colder:

"He was just injured while on duty. This is a work secret, so don't ask."

"Oh, I understand, I understand... But Longji-kun, the battle in Shanghai is imminent, you must pay attention to your safety..."

"..."

Fujiwara no Kanezane's chattering made Tanaka Takayoshi a little impatient, but since the other party meant well and they were acquaintances from another country, he had no choice but to listen.

However, Tanaka Ryukichi soon heard a concerning point and immediately interrupted:

"Our female spy? How do you know it's ours?"

"At this time, he's still walking into a Chinese street and cursing in Japanese. If he's not one of you, then who else could he be?"

"...on Chinese streets?"
