1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

The reason for this was that the naval offensive was completely crushed by the Chinese, and failed to achieve its intended objectives, but was instead badly beaten;

Not only did they lose a large number of personnel and armored vehicles, but they even had their Marine Corps headquarters captured at one point, which was truly humiliating.

Now, they have reached an agreement with the 19th Route Army through the mediation of the American consul to stop fighting at 8:00 PM tonight.

Of course, this is a delaying tactic.

The Navy Ministry is still frantically mobilizing reinforcements, preparing to launch another offensive at the beginning of next month.

This is the Navy's last chance.

If Shanghai cannot be captured successfully next time, the General Staff and the Army Ministry will have sufficient reasons to suppress the Naval General Staff and naval students and demand that the cabinet replace them immediately.

(Note: The base camp had not yet been established at this time)

When the time comes, it will be our army’s turn to take the stage!

In fact, at the beginning of the Shanghai Incident, the Army planned to send troops to formally intervene, but was rejected by the Navy, which wanted to have the monopoly, which made the Army leaders and the officers under them who wanted to make achievements very angry.

Now that things have gotten this way, all the Japanese army members in Shanghai are smiling and are so sarcastic about the navy that they are almost hanging banners in front of the warships to celebrate.

You can't even take down China, yet you still need the United States to mediate the war. You naval idiots are truly weak and incompetent!

In land warfare, our Imperial Japanese Army is the absolute king!

Therefore, in order to ensure that the army can participate in the war, it is necessary to ensure that "the navy is completely successful in failure."

If we want to ensure that the naval stag is defeated, we can only rely on the efforts of the Chinese;

If you want the Chinese to work harder, you must fully inspire their fighting spirit;

If you want to fully arouse their fighting spirit, you must completely irritate them;

What should I do if I want to completely piss them off?

There are many ways, but the general strike currently being planned by China is definitely a very good opportunity.

Think about it, if a massacre led by Japanese occurred during a large-scale anti-Japanese parade held by Chinese people, would the Chinese be even more angry?

Will the Chinese army resist more resolutely?

Does the Nanjing government still dare to talk about peace talks casually?

Only in this way can the navy fail more thoroughly, and only then can His Majesty the Emperor become more disappointed with the navy and send the army into battle.

Hehe, it would be best if the navy asked our army for support, that would be a great scene.

Everything was done to ensure that the Chinese could completely defeat the navy and ensure that the army could play normally.

Therefore, Mr. Murai, the Consul, whose actual identity was in the army, thought of letting Yoshiko Kawashima go to the scene of the upcoming anti-Japanese parade to cause trouble.

It would be best to kill a group of people and thus completely ignite the anger of the Chinese people.

As for the means, Colonel Murai didn't care at all.

Anyway, once an order was given to Yoshiko Kawashima, that woman would do it at any cost and by any means;

Of course, this behavior is not in line with the current "Armistice Agreement" and can easily put Japan in a passive position in international diplomacy.

But what does it matter?

Even if the higher-ups insist on holding someone responsible, just say it was Yoshiko Kawashima's own action!

It's just a dog. If it's lost, it's lost. I'm sure Mr. Itagaki won't mind.

Stupid woman, useless navy.

As long as we can get these rubbish out of here, what means can't we use?

Murai sneered in his heart, then suddenly remembered something and asked again:

"By the way, have you found the friend Tanaka met before he died?"

"No, Mr. Murai, there are too many refugees now, and management is very chaotic. We..."

"Forget it, don't worry about it."

"Yes, by the way, Your Excellency, I heard that the Navy asked the students of the Naval Academy and Shanghai Tongwen College to go to the battlefield. They disagreed and wanted to return home. We..."

"...Needless to say? Students are the empire's precious future talent. How can we allow them to go to the battlefield? Mobilize all resources and find a way to get them back home!"

As long as we can make things difficult for the navy, there's nothing we can't do, right?

"If there's nothing else, get ready and go all out to welcome the arrival of the Imperial Japanese Army!"

"Hi!"

044 A movement divorced from the masses is bound to fail!

3342 words

Yoshiko Kawashima had no idea about the internal strife between the Japanese Army and Navy, nor did she know that she had become a discarded pawn;

After leaving the consulate, she began to arrange personnel in a hurry, intending to give the Chinese a hard time during the anti-Japanese demonstration.

Everyone will be exhausted in these two days.

Because today is January 29th, and according to intelligence, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are likely to be the peak period for marches, strikes and demonstrations.

If you miss it, you may never have another chance.

Lord Murai's order is:

"We must use covert means to thoroughly provoke the Chinese! It would be best if we kill as many people as possible!"

Kawashima Yoshiko didn't care whether the Chinese were angry or not, whether they died or not, how many died or why Lord Murai did this;

She was just worried about how she should achieve this effect;

After much thought, the high-powered bomb came into her sight.

Place bombs of sufficient weight along the corresponding parade route and detonate them when the crowds are densest;

Not only can it cause direct casualties, it can also cause panic, leading to trampling and causing greater casualties!

Then, we must find out the specific time and route of the parade.

In order to achieve this goal, after arranging her men to prepare the bomb, she quickly disguised herself as a "progressive young man" and on the morning of the 30th, she sneaked into the busy Zhabei Japanese Spinning Mill area.

There are seventeen Japanese cotton mills here, and before the war broke out yesterday, the owners had already closed their factories and driven all the workers out of the factories and workshops;

But now, the workers broke back in, drove away the few security guards, sealed off the factory, and took out the stock inside to support the 19th Route Army's war of resistance.

Damn Chinese, how dare they use the precious products of the Empire of Japan!

Seeing this bustling scene, Yoshiko Kawashima felt her teeth itching with hatred, but on the surface she pretended to be a passionate young man. She kept asking for information and soon found out the core location of this march:

The large conference room of Xiaolin Spinning Mill.

But here, the supervision is not as lax as outside, and it is very difficult to sneak in;

There were some people with sharp eyes and a smell that she hated, wandering around, guarding everything around them.

It turned out to be a strike organized by these damn red elements.

Now, how do I get in?

Just as Kawashima Yoshiko was in great distress, inside the spinning mill, a young man in an ordinary worker's uniform, a torn scarf, and an old-fashioned Russian hat was announcing the order of the Provisional Central Political Bureau to the workers' representatives:

"...This time, we will mobilize all the workers in the Japanese cotton mills to launch a large-scale, all-Union general strike and general uprising..."

"...We must develop this strike into a 'Chinese February Revolution', using China's practical actions to support the Soviet Union's revolutionary struggle..."

"...We must find a way to seize weapons from the counter-revolutionary Kuomintang 19th Route Army, organize our own working class armed forces, and then defeat the Japanese army..."

"..."

After the order was read out, there was silence.

The worker representatives looked at each other.

They always feel that something is wrong, but they cannot accurately express what they feel is wrong.

For example, the phrase "support the Soviet Union's revolutionary struggle with China's actual performance";

No?

What does our Chinese resistance against Japan have to do with the Soviet Union’s “revolutionary struggle”?

Why should we look at their faces?

Why are we supporting the Japanese by fighting them?

Even if we take a step back, why should we support them?

Also, isn’t the 19th Route Army fighting the Japanese now?

Why do we have to fight the 19th Route Army?

Isn't this a stab in the back?

We don't understand how to fight that kind of war, but no matter what, we shouldn't be as good as the 19th Route Army, right?

Some worker representatives didn’t understand these principles, while others found it difficult to speak directly.

So, for a full three minutes, no one said a word, from the person who read the order to the person who received the order.

Just as the young man sighed inwardly and was about to explain, a lazy voice rang out from the group of workers:

"No... I'm saying, do you agree with what you said?"

"..."

This sentence is earth-shattering.

Including the "Minister of the CPC Workers' Department" on the stage, everyone looked at the speaker:

A young man with elegant clothes, fair skin and delicate features, looking spoiled, who looked extremely out of place compared with dozens of ragged workers' representatives and this dirty environment;

But if you really want to say that he was out of place, he was wearing clothes that looked very expensive, sitting on a dirty chair without any concern, and mixing with the dirty workers.

It is really curious that this person can appear at the "strike discussion meeting".

The Minister noticed him as he entered, but because he had just had an argument with other comrades in the Political Bureau, was in a bad mood, and was anxious to discuss the strike with the workers, he did not ask any questions.

Unexpectedly, this person actually jumped out and said something so meaningful. This made the Minister even more curious, and he asked gently:

"I'm Zhao Ziqi, the organizer of this strike. May I ask your name, comrade?"

In order to be accepted by the workers' representatives and enter this "strike meeting", of course they had to be called "comrades".

"..."

It turned out to be him. The agent’s information was absolutely correct!

Speaking of this appearance, it is true that it has not changed much compared to decades later.

Mark secretly glanced in the direction of the tactical humanoid waiting in the corner, and remembered the protagonist of an online novel he had read called "Nine Brothers Just Want to Be Salted Fish". The corners of his mouth curled up:

"Just call me Wu Jiu."

"Oh, Comrade Wu Jiu, hello."

Mark, using the alias "Wu Jiu," nodded to someone also using the alias "Zhao Ziqi."

"Hello, Comrade Zhao Ziqi."

"Excuse me, why did you say that just now? What do you think about this?"

"I don't have any special opinions. I'm just asking you, do you agree with what you just said?"

"..."

Zhao Ziqi was speechless.

Because he didn't agree with anything he said.

In his view, first, putting the slogan of saving the "Chinese nation from peril" after "defending the Soviet Union" was completely divorced from the masses, because the workers would not understand or support it at all;

Secondly, they undermined the anti-Japanese officers and soldiers behind their backs, unilaterally labeling the anti-Japanese 19th Route Army commander Cai Tingkai and others as "counter-revolutionaries" and even threatened to attack them and seize their weapons, which undoubtedly helped the Japanese army.

As for radical slogans such as "create a climax", "we must counterattack, attack now and attack again", and "all non-cooperation, all struggle to the end", they are completely unrealistic;

For this reason, Zhao Ziqi protested, but was criticized as a "cancellationist (surrenderist)" and was asked to submit a self-criticism before the middle of next month.
