Why did Feng Chen pay so much attention to the matter of Li Jianfu?

This is because since Feng Chen joined the organization and came into contact with intelligence work, he has been particularly sensitive to the Japanese who are active in China, and Feng Chen has always believed that those who do news and those who engage in intelligence are always inseparable.

In Feng Chen's view, a full-scale war between China and Japan is about to break out, so it is necessary to have a deeper understanding, and these Japanese journalists, who have been active in the north and south of China's great rivers for many years, are very useful in grasping Japan's strategic trends.

Feng Chen had just made tea for Ozaki Hidemi, and Ozaki Hidemi went to the bathroom and turned back.

Hidemi Ozaki picked up the teacup, sat on the bed and drank two sips, and continued to tell Feng Chen about Satomifu.

The Kwantung Army in Mukden set up a desk for Satomi in the fourth lesson of the Kwantung Army, and let Satomi Fu and three other colleagues take on the propaganda work in the army.

Previously, when Satomi was a reporter, he completed a research report on "The Formation of Chinese Social Secularism," which was also approved by the top level of the military department, and thus won the trust of the Japanese military.

Satomi Fu worked very hard in the 4th lesson of the Kwantung Army!

During this period, he not only got acquainted with the commander of the Kwantung Army, Shigeru Honjo, and senior staff officer Seishiro Itagaki, but also many soldiers who were born from old Japanese intellectuals.

In addition, he became acquainted with Matsui Taikuro, the head of the 4th Section, and the Shozo Usuda Kanzo, Yazaki Kanju, Hirata Masatsu, and Junhisa Ikeda, as well as the staff officers of the 4th Section, Yokoyama, Ihachitsuji, and others.

While working, Satomifu chatted with these soldiers, and he was in a very comfortable mood.

At that time, the main task of the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army was to personally create the Manchurian State News Agency, that is, the National Communication.

In the early thirties, the "one country, one society system" was becoming a trend leading the world's telecommunications circles, and for this reason, Kuniaki Koiso, vice minister of the Japanese Ministry of War, also submitted a bill to reform Japan's telecommunications system.

However, the official United News Agency and the private Telegraph News Agency held that it was too early to move on reunification, and that we should not act rashly; In addition, because the two societies disagreed on the organizational structure and the stance of running the cooperatives, the reunification of the two societies in Japan was hindered.

After the September 18 Incident, the Japanese side decided to first unify the communications system of Manchuria.

For this reason, Yukichi Iwanaga of Japan's Yonhap News Agency suggested that the word "Guo" in Manchukuo be taken as the prefix and abbreviated as "Guotong." This suggestion was decided by Seishiro Itagaki, then chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and preparations for the establishment of the "Guotong News Agency" began.

At the beginning, the president of this "Kokuto" agency was prepared to let Takayanagi Hotaro serve as a reserve lieutenant general.

Who is this Hotaro Takayanagi?

He was the chief of staff of the Japanese Dispatch Army during the infamous "Siberian Dispatch" in World War I, and a graduate of the 13th class of the Japanese Army University.

At this time, Honjo Shigeru, the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, who had a close relationship with Satomi, thought for a moment and thought, "Why do you have to find someone else, isn't Satomi Fu very good?"

Honjo Shigeru knew that Satomi Fu had a problem that was not like the Japanese, he was careless, he couldn't sit still, and he had to move places every once in a while, so he called Satomi Fu and asked, "I'll put you in charge of the National News Agency, you won't suddenly pick your son and leave, right?" ”

"What the commander arranged, how can I pick a son and leave?"

This time, Satomi Fu actually agreed very happily, so Honjo Shigeru decided to let Satomi Fu do it.

However, Satomi was only 36 years old at the time, and according to Japanese custom, it seemed that he was too young to be president, so Honjo Shigeru left the position of president vacant, and Satomi served as the "chief officer" of the "national communication", which actually exercised the power of the president.

In addition, Toshio Shiratori, then Minister of Intelligence of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, once held consultations with Suzuki Sadachi Nakasa, the head of the Chinese squad of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Army, on the establishment of the Manchukuo News Agency.

At the behest of Toshio Shiratori, the Minister of Intelligence, Secretary of the Ministry, Yayoshiro Suma, was ordered to rush to Mukden to consult with the Kwantung Army on the establishment of the Manchukuo News Agency and the merger of other news agencies.

In fact, during the Beiping period, Satomi Fu and Suma Yayoshiro were old friends, so when they met, they were unrestrained with each other, and the two sides frankly showed their views and hit it off.

Later, Satomi reported the results of the talks to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and in order to smoothly merge other news agencies, Commander Shigeru Honjo instructed that the Kwantung Army Division 4 redraw a draft of reunification.

The new draft of reunification drawn up is still the implementation of the will of the Japanese military.

Because the task of the fourth section of the Kwantung Army was to create and control the 'national communication' with his own hands, he only acted according to the orders of the military and did not accept any opinions from the outside world at all.

In other words, once the plan is approved, it will be handed over to the Kwantung Army to implement.

However, to truly implement the unification scheme, the resistance is very large, and the key question is . The plan will be recognized by Japan's two major news agencies, Rengo and Dentsu.

As long as one of the parties does not cooperate, this unified plan cannot be implemented.

Although the "one country, one society" system was implemented only in Manchuria, did the United and Dentsu Corporations in Japan approve of it? In particular, can dentsu understand? There was a lot of suspense at the time.

After the outbreak of the Manchurian Incident, all news agencies in Japan focused their attention on Manchuria, and the two major news agencies, Union and Dentsu, gradually expanded their respective organizations and personnel for this purpose.

Sure enough, after the draft drawn up by Satomi was submitted, a series of questions arose as to who would summarize, sort out, and finalize the draft.

At that time, the Japanese Ministry of War and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were too busy preparing for the establishment of Manchukuo to take care of this matter. And the 4th section of the Kwantung Army Command was even more in a state of tension due to lack of manpower.

Suddenly, one day, Usuda Shaosa, who was in charge of the work of "one country, one society", suddenly said to Satomi: "You should also participate in this work!" ”

"Usuda-kun, I've always been a journalist, so it's not good for me to participate in this work." Satomi shirked.

"Satomi-kun, although you are a journalist, in our opinion, you have nothing to do with the two major news agencies in China, and you are very suitable to do this work fairly." Usuda insisted on his opinion.

"Since Usuda-kun said so, then I'll make it difficult for me." Satomi thought to himself, since the draft had been submitted, it was better to let it be.

With the support of the Kwantung Army, the establishment of the Manchurian "Guotong News Agency" went smoothly and successfully, and at the same time, Satomi Fu also began to make a name for himself in the press.

Not only that, the two major news agencies in Japan, "Renhe" and "Dentsu," have also taken advantage of the development of the "Kokuto News Agency" to actively cooperate.

In 1935, the two major news agencies, "United Nations" and "Dentsu", were finally merged to form the "Alliance News Agency".

Fundamentally speaking, Manchuria's "national communication" is only a local news agency, and no one in the international community recognizes "Manchukuo." It is said that "national communication" should not have any major international influence.

However, as early as May 1933, "Guotong" and Reuters signed a cooperation agreement, which suddenly made "Guotong" an internationally renowned news agency.

Satomi's move to establish the "National Communication" has deepened the Japanese military's appreciation for him.

The Japanese military began to entrust him with some hidden special tasks, such as the propaganda and pacification work of the Harbin Grand View Garden, which the military asked him to do at the beginning of the founding of the Manchurian State.

At that time, the underground party organization of the Chinese Communist Party, Ma Zhanshan's plainclothes team, the CC group of the Kuomintang Party, and the opium dealers of the Koreans all lived in the Daguan Garden, which greatly deteriorated the law and order there, and it became a base for anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese activities.

Under the instructions of the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Satomifu, together with the military, began to carry out propaganda and pacification work on the entertainment street of Harbin Grand View Garden.

Satomi not only personally sat in charge of the "Grand View Garden", but also acted as the commander-in-chief of the entire operation.

Although the propaganda work did not achieve brilliant results in the end, Satomifu's command skills were highly praised by the military, which also laid the foundation for the military to reuse him later.

In addition, after the establishment of "Kokuto", Satomi first asked Nobuhiko Oya to serve as the first editor-in-chief of the agency, and when "Kokuto" was on the right track, he transferred the position to Saburo Matsukata.

Satomi himself moved to Tianjin, where he founded the Chinese-language newspaper Yong Pao.

In fact, Yong Pao was also controlled by the Kwantung Army's 4th Lesson, a publication aimed at Chinese readers, and its purpose was to counter the Shanghai Ta Kung Pao, and Satomi Fu used the pen name Li Wu in Yong Pao.

It was during his time in Tianjin that Satomi became acquainted with Takayoshi Tanaka and Yoshiko Kawashima.
