"You're almost ready, right?" In 1936, the leader of the unification faction, Nagata Tetsuyama, was already a lieutenant general and officially entered the high-level field of the Japanese military department, and he and Okamura Ninji were discussing their next move. Over the past few years, the theory of the control faction has become more and more "perfect." Of course, if Kita Yihui saw Nagata Tetsuyama's plan for Japan, he was afraid that he would sneer. It was a plan that copied the successful experience of "successful countries", that is, Europe, the United States and China, and also copied a lot of Kita Ichiki's ideas.

To sum up, in addition to the absence of land reform, Nagata Tetsuyama planned to build a new Japan that was somewhat "similar" to China. The reason why I say it is similar is because the grassroots organizations in Japan in this plan are very bad and bad. Although the pace of implementation has not been rapid and the bureaucracy has instinctively resisted, the role of the people's congress at the grassroots level in China is gradually becoming apparent. The people's power to accountability is ebbing and waning. On the Japanese side, the grass-roots level is completely under the control of the military, and the civilian population is managed in accordance with the strict system of the army. In theory, it is very tight, but in practice the military department simply does not have enough manpower.

The greatest similarity between Nagata Tetsuyama's ideas and Kita Ichiki is that the state should nationalize the lifeblood economy, while the state should directly lead important economic policies and implement an access system for less important economic sectors. This was originally Kita Ikki's proposition, and it was Kita Ikki who tried his best to lobby Takahashi to implement the policy of the Qing Dynasty. All of these were absorbed into the Nagata Tetsuyama system into the plans of the Regime.

The pro-establishment faction also exercised strict control over journalism and the educational sector, and wanted to ban the vast majority of political parties in Japan and replace them with various social organizations under the leadership of the military department.

This kind of plagiarized content is not without a market in Japan, and Takahashi Shikiyo also realized that Japan needs to be more effectively "controlled", so he wants to solve the gangster forces and strengthen law and order. Unlike the unification faction, Takahashi wanted the bureaucracy to be the ruler.

Kita Ikki wanted a people's democratic dictatorship, in which the Japanese workers would unite and frame the future of Japan on the Soviet model.

Naturally, the military department hopes that it will become a leading force in Japan. The conflict between the three parties is very deep, but on the surface, there is a lot of similarity between the three sides and the future of Japan.

"The people below can't wait." Okamura replied. The growing influence of the Chinese factor in Japan is not just a huge economic success. After the Taiwan Campaign, the Japanese military finally admitted that Japan was backward than China, and immediately stepped up its study of China. Land reform and equality are the most hated things in the eyes of the Japanese. After abandoning these, China's concentration of forces on major affairs left a deep impression on the Japanese military department.

After World War I, Japan also obtained several small islands in the Pacific Ocean, and the small islands thousands of kilometers away were a demonstration of Japan's glory, and the practical significance was very limited. China easily seized the territory of Japan's current land area through the war, and the abundant oil resources under those lands, which made the Japanese military department salivate three feet long.

If Japan had also gone south back then, ...... this kind of imagination made the young Zhuang faction of the Japanese military department feel as if they had 25 little mice stuffed in their chests. If Japan had not pursued a stupid continental policy at that time, but had joined forces with China at a time when it had the upper hand, who else in the whole of Asia would be the opponents of China and Japan?

The frustration of the young soldiers added to the already burning anger of the Emperor before the First Sino-Japanese War, when the entire of Japan was united to defeat China, and the Emperor donated money. After the victory over China, the chaebols, politicians, and rebels began to divide Japan, depriving Japan of opportunities that could have chosen the right path. It's time to liquidate these people.

"What needs to be resolved now are five people" Lieutenant General Nagata Tetsuyama came up with his final list, "Takahashi is Kiyoshi, Saionji Konozo, Saito Minoru, Makino Nobuaki, Suzuki Kantaro. ”

These five men were either staunch supporters of party politics or representatives of the perceived collusion between Britain and the United States, all of whom were representatives of the old Japanese forces. All five of them were supporters of Takahashi's "balanced budget". By 1937, Japan's monetary easing had reached a stage where something would happen if it did not change direction. "Balancing the budget" means reducing public spending by cutting the military across the board. Nagata Tetsuyama had no personal hatred for these five people, and he even had a lot of respect for at least three of them, believing that it was not a last resort, and that he would not ask the five people to "sacrifice" for Japan. In particular, Takahashi was forced to accept the demand that "no one should be exempt from the implementation of a tight fiscal policy" because Takahashi was clear in financial capacity, but Takahashi was able to force the military department to accept the demand that "no one should be exempt from the implementation of a tight fiscal policy." This is the reason why Takahashi is Kiyoshi must die.

"After they are dealt with, it will be the turn of the Imperial Road Sect and Kita Ichiki." Nagata Tetsuyama then said to Okamura Ninji. Nagata Tieshan has no regrets about these people, these forces are the real opponents of the ruling faction, and they are absolutely impossible to let go.

"Kita Yihui seems to have sensed something." Okamura replied. Okamura Ninji is not as shrewd as Tetsuyama Nagata in politics, but he is in no way inferior in specific matters. Even though he firmly supported Nagata Tetsuyama, Okamura Ninji still did not quite accept Nagata Tetsuyama's vision of "the final battle between the yellow race and the Anglo-Saxon nation". Okamura even thinks that the idea itself is too risky, and that judging by the current performance of the People's Party, China is likely to be satisfied with the benefits it has already received. If China had not entered into an all-out war with Britain as Nagata had predicted, Japan would have no chance of joining China in the war and gaining benefits.

Nagata Tieshan snorted contemptuously, "Kita Yihui can't control the Imperial Dao Sect, as long as we release the news that Takahashi is Qing is going to cut the army, someone will naturally jump out." It didn't matter if they wanted to kill the others, as long as they could get rid of those five people. ”

Since Nagata was so sure, Okamura Ninji could only obey the order. In terms of engaging in propaganda warfare, Okamura Ninji does have a few brushes. He knew very well that unless it was a monster like the People's Party, with figures like Zhang Yu and Li Runshi dominating China's propaganda department, the Chinese government would dare to tell the truth boldly. It is impossible for Japan to do this, and it is impossible to completely straighten things out in terms of political propaganda. It is necessary to mix up all the problems in a mess. Faced with the current situation of not having a clue at all, those who are strong and strong will adopt the method of "cutting through the mess with a quick knife". That is, the characteristic action of the Japanese Restoration Era, "Heavenly Punishment".

The imperial faction has always advocated the elimination of all chaebols and high-ranking officials, the elimination of party politics, and the implementation of dictatorship by the emperor. Knowing that Takahashi is Qing "and others" want to cut the army, it is not uncommon for these people to rise up and make trouble, and not making trouble can only prove that Okamura Ninji has not done a good job in propaganda enough.

Therefore, after the Chinese representative Li Runshi and Wu Xiangyu arrived in Japan together, they soon learned that a lot of "rumors" began to circulate in Japan.

Since they were going to work together in the Lanfang area after completing the work in Japan, Li Runshi and Wu Xiangyu both brought thick documents, which were information related to Lanfang. These two highly promising young Zhuang factions in the People's Party both firmly believe in and practice the attitude of seeking truth from facts, especially Li Runshi, who is a person who does not like to evaluate things by good or bad, right or wrong. Doing the preliminary homework is something that the two of them choose to do.

However, after the Chinese ambassador to Japan provided Li Runshi with some of the latest Japanese information, Li Runshi frowned when he looked at it. Wu Xiangyu discovered Li Runshi's abnormality, he picked up the document and looked at it for a while, and his brows furrowed.

The ambassador to Japan knows the positions of these two comrades, one is a member of the Politburo Standing Committee who has served as foreign minister, and the other is a vice premier of the State Council. The ambassador couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with this?" ”

Lee Yun-seok replied: "To what extent is the factional struggle in Japan? ”

The factional struggle in Japan has always been very fierce, so fierce that the Chinese ambassador to Japan feels numb. The information refers to all the more common slogans of struggle. It is probably to attack some people as traitors who collude with Britain and the United States, some people are lackeys of the chaebols, and some people are big bastards who cause political chaos in political parties and desecrate the universal suffrage system. The fact that China supplied machine tools to Japan was also highlighted as the introduction of everything.

The People's Party has talked about interest groups, but in fact the People's Party itself knows that interest groups have begun to form in China. The feudal system of power feudalism has undergone new changes in the industrial age, and new interest groups have begun to appear. According to the traditional power model, whether officials are loyal to centralized power translates into loyalty to their superiors, and whether their own interests can be consistent with small groups in various fields are the more important qualities of officials in the era of industrialization.

Although this may not be taken as a joke, most comrades in the party believe that Chen Ke has the ability to be a mentor in these rather negative areas of thought, which is one of the driving forces behind the strict discipline within the BJP. Comrades in the banking sector, for example, are very much in favor of a war against a foreign country. The victory over the Netherlands once again knocked on the door of China's banking sector in Southeast Asia, and the banking industry was left to openly chant long live President Chen.

It is naturally impossible for Li Runshi and Wu Xiangyu not to know this, but the power of the Central Committee of the People's Party has completely overwhelmed the interest groups, and the interest groups themselves have not formed the ability to act on their own, so Chen Ke is at most at the level of vaccination. However, in Japan's latest intelligence, it is not the attitude of the People's Party that treats things and people, but completely treats people and people wrong. The purpose of all propaganda is to shape the enemy, to point out the enemy.

Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? This question is the first question of the revolution. Find and point out the enemy, and the next step is to strike and destroy the enemy, even if you haven't heard the above words, you will instinctively act like this. And these rumors spread in Japan are even more inciting these emotions. Blame everything on a few people. If this were in China, these people would have been almost certain to be doomed. Although they didn't know much about the situation in Japan, both Li Runshi and Wu Xiangyu felt that a fierce struggle was imminent.

These guys who were "named" are all high-ranking and powerful guys in Japan, and it is actually of little use to make unfavorable remarks against them. You will never be able to kill these people by insulting, so there must be a deeper purpose behind such incitement with ulterior motives. Assassinations are now common in Japan, such as the public assassination of the Minister of Culture, Education and Education Inuyangyi.

In 1934, Navy junior soldiers attacked the Prime Minister's residence, the Metropolitan Police Department, the residence of Minister of the Interior Nobuaki Makino, the Bank of Mitsubishi, the headquarters of the Political Friends Association, and substations around Tokyo. The coup failed, but Prime Minister Takahashi and others were not assassinated, but Inukai Yi, the Minister of Culture and Education, was unfortunately killed. Because Inukai insisted on civilian politics, the Minister of War and the Minister of the Navy did not have to be soldiers, and the Cabinet could appoint rather than recommend the Military Department. And demand disarmament. This can anger the young Zhuang faction personnel of the military department. Japan's economy is sluggish, and if the poor people want to get a better life, they can only join the navy, which can "eat white rice at a time", or be admitted to a military academy.

The Minister of Culture, Culture, and Education was killed, and the cold-blooded murderer of Inukai was prosecuted by military law, but before the trial, a petition signed by 350,000 people in blood, signed by people from all over Japan who sympathized with the murderer, asked for leniency. During the trial, the murderers used the court as a propaganda stage to "promote" their sincerity and loyalty to the emperor, arouse more sympathy among the public, and call for government and economic reform. In addition to the petition, the court received another plea sent by eleven young people in Niigata Prefecture. They asked for the death of the eleven officers, and at the same time attached eleven fingers to express their heartfelt wishes.

The military was so rampant, the silence in politics or the change of stance, and the people even sympathized with the assassins and petitioned one after another, and the results of the implementation of real "party politics" for more than ten years were not as good as the people expected, so the Japanese people's thinking gradually unified, the era of militarism came, and the court finally "fell from (extremely) leniency", and the media also expressed no doubt that the murderer of the prime minister would be released within a few years. For the Japanese military department, the conspirator of the May 15 incident, such a light sentence in such a serious case is a further erosion of the rule of law and democratic government under the confrontation with military power.

The BJP was very appalled that such a thing had happened, and that the public assassination itself was an intentional homicide, plus a gang action, not to mention a soldier to carry out such an act. It is inconceivable that such a thing would happen in China, let alone that no one would be sentenced to death.

Subsequently, Japan's "Heavenly Punishment" actions occurred repeatedly, and the public use of death threats was even more endless. This time, some people in Japan have created such public opinion, and in addition to the Japanese government's weak response to terrorist acts, this cannot but make Li Runshi and Wu Xiangyu intuitively feel an unusual taste. Lee Yun-seok was a foreign minister, but he was not a professional who specialized in the study of Japan, and the People's Party's external affairs were mainly Europe and the United States, but it had an attitude of talking about Japan. No matter how skeptical he is, he can't really make a clear judgment.

Li Runshi and Wu Xiangyu, as representatives of China, could not guess without such evidence, and their job was to negotiate with Japan to buy and sell machine tools. After meeting Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Isaki, the two representatives did not see any clues from Takahashi Isaki. Takahashi Kiyoshi didn't seem to feel any danger at all. Of course, the old man is 82 years old, and it seems that he doesn't care at all what happens. Being able to continue working energetically is already the limit of the old man.

After meeting Takahashi Shikiyo, he was sure to meet with Japanese politicians. Kita Yihui is naturally a person who can't be avoided. And Kita Ikki is also a person who can provide a lot of information. Sure enough, Kita Kazuki introduced the recent changes in Japan. Overall, Japan's economic recovery is coming to an end. Without a good relationship with China and a supply of raw materials from China, it will not be possible for Japan's steel industry to develop. There can be no real development in modern industry without enough steel.

Kita Ikki also provided very interesting news that the control faction in the Japanese military department was actually advocating dialogue to ease relations and even reach a Sino-Japanese alliance. Although this is a point of view put forward by Nagata Tetsuyama, the leader of the ruling faction a few years ago, Nagata Tetsuyama actually did it, which cannot but be a little surprising.

Faced with the Chinese representative's question about whether there would be an assassination in Japan, Kita Yihui smiled bitterly and said in rather subtle language: "This is Japan, and there is a tradition of assassination. Although I have tried my best to restrain the Imperial Sect, the Imperial Sect is becoming more and more radical, and there are many people who propose that the Emperor pro-government. They really wanted the emperor to be in power, but they didn't expect that the emperor would not let go of his core power at all. I remember that there is a saying in China that says that anti-corrupt officials are not anti-emperor, and they do not understand that the emperor himself is the source of power for corrupt officials. ”

Seeing that Bei Yihui's attitude was so depressed, Li Runshi changed the topic, "But I don't know what the results of Comrade Bei Yihui's anti-feudal alliance are?" ”

Bei Yihui smiled bitterly: "Now there is no way out for those who are not sober enough in the anti-feudal alliance. Those who are sober enough to understand Marxism simply use what they have learned to defect to more promising forces. The whole exercise may just end without a problem. ”

"Is it true that the Japanese masses cannot mobilize?" Li Runshi is most concerned about this, and if theory cannot be integrated with the practice of the mass movement, it will have no practical significance at all.

Kita Kazuki replied: "The reactionary forces in Japan are too strong to surpass the revolutionary forces. Moreover, the so-called revolutionary forces in Japan are more populist than pro-democracy. ”

Just as Kita Ikki was talking to the Chinese delegates about the situation in Japan, an eerie conversation began at Okawa Shumei's residence, with some young officers sitting with him. Because of the excitement, these people are so energetic that even their facial muscles are a little distorted.

"Last time, Takahashi Kiyoshi and Nobuaki Makino escaped. This time, we must punish them and strive for a better future for Japan! A young officer said viciously. And Okawa Zhouming, as the master, nodded again and again after hearing this.
