"Please Comrade Hu Fu to convey our heartfelt thanks to Chairman Chen Ke." Bei Yihui said seriously to the Chinese envoy Hu Fu.

The Japanese Navy dared to impose a blockade on the Japanese sea, and the Chinese side simply transported a lot of new printing presses and paper by air. This kind of support, which is almost cost-free, at least solves the current propaganda problem. Chen Ke knew very well how the color revolution was carried out, that is, to take advantage of information asymmetry and the vigorous mobilization of the rebel side.

Just like a joke on the Internet in the 21st century, "I sell Hetu, Tianshu, Qilin, Spirit Turtle, Qingyun, and Jiahe; Substitute learning fox calling, explaining astrological transmission nursery rhymes, compiling proverbs, writing persuasion tables, customizing one-eyed stone man (embedded), writing yellow silk silk book (free into the belly of the fish), sewing yellow robe (free to add body), and angry demon snake, angry Xiao Han, Huanglong Xianjiang, Phoenix Laiyi and many other businesses, accept the custom jade seal of the country, the crown of the dragon robe. ”

When engaging in propaganda and incitement, the truth is actually not very important, the key is to effectively arouse associations. Although the People's Party started out in a very different way from Japan, it was essentially a difference in the city. By the time the People's Party rose up in rebellion, the whole of China had already abandoned the old system, and what the Japanese revolution needed was to make the Japanese people think that the old Japanese system was going to end. When the people of a country abandon the old system together, the system is inevitably at the end of the road.

The People's Party provided new printing presses, large quantities of paper and operators, mainly for printing pictures. The photo of the Emperor cordially receiving the complaining crowd cannot be blurred. There are photographs to testify to, and the printing house controlled by the Japanese Restoration Force printed a large number of copies of the cause, purpose, and process of the Restoration. The propaganda of the Japanese Anti-Feudal League at the grassroots level has convinced more and more Japanese people that the emperor supports the people and is willing to solve the suffering of the Japanese people. Although more and more officers and soldiers of the Restoration Force are gradually beginning to realize that this idea may be a bit "too optimistic".

These propaganda documents were obtained by all bases of the Japanese Air Force, and because of the short time that the Air Force had been established, most of the soldiers were young people. Some of the old stubborn people think that this practice is lawless, but the younger people do not. After looking at the pictures of the emperor receiving hundreds of people in each group, the scenes of the kneeling people crying and crying frozen in the pictures, and reading other written descriptions, the young soldiers of the Air Force also began to boil with enthusiasm. At the instigation of the Restoration Army, all wings of the Air Force privately sent representatives to Tokyo for a "visit." They found that things were exactly as the Restoration Army had said. Ordinary people are getting the chance to meet the emperor. This kind of thing that was unimaginable before was not a lie created by the new army, but a fact that actually happened.

The young Air Force members finally believed that these Restoration troops were not for their own personal fame and fortune, but for the sake of Japan as a whole. The vigorous action of the Restoration Army was not to harm the Emperor, but to break the blindness of the Emperor by the bad guys around him. Young people are the most stupid and cute, they are direct enough to believe that there is something in the world once and for all, at least there is a shortcut that leads directly to the end of victory. The Restoration Army undoubtedly did it.

So by April 22, more than half of the air force units had reached a consensus with the Restoration Army that they were willing to "provide limited help" to the Restoration Army. The remaining half of the air force units are still in control of the situation, and the old guys say the classic Japanese words, "What you do, I don't know anything." ”

With the assistance of the Air Force, the well-defended naval base was subjected to "air raids," and a large number of leaflets were scattered into the naval camp like snowfall in June. The Navy, which had been keeping the news tightly shut from the inside, finally knew what was going on outside. Not only the navy, but also the forces controlled by the ruling faction were also attacked by air, and the tightly guarded barracks intelligence blockade was broken through the sky.

These days, the forces of the Command faction have been worried about being attacked by the forces of the Imperial Sect, and their attitude towards the reform forces has been extremely hostile. After learning about the behavior of the reform army in these days, and seeing that the peasant workers and other low-level of society were able to complain to the emperor, the attitude of the low-level soldiers of the army in the unified army toward the reform army suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

After such vigorous propaganda, the division commanders, brigade commanders, and wing commanders of the commanding troops were dumbfounded. In addition to the old stubbornness, there are actually many people among these people who approve of the actions of the Restoration Army. Their only concern is whether they may be liquidated.

So the old guys, who had been closed off to the Restoration Army, finally began to contact the representatives sent by the Restoration Army, and after receiving assurances, although they were also skeptical, they were no longer prepared to act immediately. Instead, they chose the "wait" strategy.

Kita Yihui did not expect that his revolution would be able to come to this point, and the possibility of the total annihilation of the reform forces after a tragic siege also existed. And now it is inconceivable that Japan is beginning to consider the possibility of taking a new path. The power of the printing press sent by the People's Party was as powerful as that of five divisions. At least five divisions have now said that "they can consider supporting the Restoration Army at a critical moment," and five other divisions and regiments have expressed reluctance to march into Tokyo. The rest of the troops are "not aware of anything." The likelihood of a military attack is already slim.

Comrade Hu Fu was also very satisfied, "Those upper echelons are afraid that such an action will shake their position, but they can't find any other way to deal with it for the time being." This is a very critical moment, and if it were our People's Party, we would strengthen our integration with the masses. This is, after all, the root of all power. ”

Kita Ichiki nodded again and again, the People's Party's line of mobilizing the masses is very different from Japan's current actions, but after the Japanese people are mobilized temporarily, its power is beyond imagination.

Hu Fu didn't dare to be too arrogant, although he already had a feeling of being too emperor in his heart, but before this trip, Chen Ke repeatedly explained that he should respect the Japanese comrades. The organization department of the People's Party never rubs sand in its eyes, and the result of getting carried away is inevitably to turn this great opportunity into a noose that stifles its own path of progress. Therefore, holding back his strong sense of complacency, Hu Fu relayed the speech prepared by the People's Party, "We have the term system in China, and the system is the system is management, and the degree is how to manage." The work behind this is a very arduous process, and Comrade Bei Yihui will definitely work very hard. Chairman Chen and the Central Committee agreed to fully resume normal trade with Japan. This is something we can do in the near future. ”

"Thank you so much!" Kita Yihui said from the bottom of his heart. No matter how popular the Japanese revolutionaries may be and how advanced their ideas are, if these positions and ideas cannot be transformed into immediate social improvements, once the revolutionary fervor has passed, Japan will still go back to the old road. The fact that Japan was able to reopen trade with China, and even to receive orders from China, was the best "proof of rationality" for the revolutionaries. The purpose of the Japanese people's participation in this revolution was not to make a revolution, but to try to take a new path out of the pain of the moment. As Chen Ke repeatedly emphasized, "It is not that our People's Party can create revolution, but that revolution is born in the people." Revolution is the way and means for the people to be liberated and to have a better life. ”

"Chairman Chen also asked me to convey to Comrade Bei Yihui that you must not admit your guilt. No matter how much external pressure there is, you cannot admit that you are guilty of any sin in this action. No matter how much the class that is now forced to compromise deceives you, you cannot confess your guilt. It must not be admitted that the path you are taking is wrong. Chairman Chen sent you eight words: the revolution is not guilty, and the rebellion is justified. Although Hu Fu didn't quite agree with Chen Ke's attitude, he didn't dare not convey Chen Ke's words.

After hearing this, Kita Yihui nodded again and again, these days, many dignitaries and dignitaries have privately said to Kita Ikki that as long as they admit their guilt and admit a small mistake, then these dignitaries will firmly stand on Kita Ikki's side and do their best to persuade the emperor to make a compromise. Even though Kita Yihui knew that the person who said this was harboring evil intentions, he was still a little shaken. It was relatively simple to launch a revolutionary action, but it was a painstaking and lengthy process to maintain Japan's national operations after the operation was successful. Compromise seems to be an immediate solution. After listening to Chen Ke's suggestion, Bei Yihui finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least the revolutionary pioneers in Asia were still in favor of Kita's actions.

After receiving the support and commitment of the Chinese side, Kita Yihui put the focus of future work on the navy first. Kita Ikki officially sent a representative to ask King Fushimi Miyahiro, the chief of the Naval Command Department, who is now leading the navy, to meet with the emperor and make sure that the reformists did not harm the emperor.

King Fushimi Miyahiro Kyoshi finally met with the representatives of the Restoration, and the naval base is now in an extremely unstable situation. The servicemen on the ship can be temporarily blocked from all news, but the navy can not always float on the sea, they need to replenish food, fresh water, and need some maintenance. The actions of the Restorationists have spread "like a plague" in the naval fleet.

The reason for maintaining morale in the Navy is the high salary, which is needed to sustain the family life of junior and middle-ranking officers and even soldiers. Most of the sailors' families were not wealthy. Knowing that their families' lives could be truly improved, the wavering attitude of these soldiers can be imagined.

Senior naval officials could only rely on the mode of strong bomb pressure to temporarily stabilize the navy, but the strong bullet pressure triggered more fierce antagonism. Now the officers of the entire fleet are no longer thinking about attacking the Restoration Army, and their attention is focused on how to maintain order in the navy without changes.

The representatives of the Restoration faction demanded not only that King Fushimi Hirokoshi go to ensure the safety of the emperor, but also that the navy lift the blockade so that the fleet could transport fertilizer to other areas as planned.

Stand with the people at all times, at least to meet the interests of the working people. Bei Yihui was extremely appreciative of China's method of dealing with the land of 412 people killed in Zhejiang. When the People's Party carried out land reform, it guaranteed the interests of ordinary laborers who bought the land of the murdered people and grew food on it. All the money from the sale of the land was returned, and the grain grown on the land also allowed the working people to reap the harvest. No matter what kind of conflict there is, the principles cannot be shaken.

As for the willingness of King Fushimi Miyahiro to see the emperor, the reformers did not care at all. They now want to expose the actions of the Japanese Navy to prevent the people from obtaining fertilizers. Fight the old forces in the navy through such propaganda.

King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong was fooled, and he didn't see through this. Not only did he fail to see through this, but also the upper echelons of the Navy. Some people think that Kita Ichiki is going to advance and retreat, and if he can't trick King Fushimi Miyahiro Kyoshi into going to Tokyo to recognize the reality that the Japanese Restoration Army is temporarily in power, then they will have to enforce their de facto administrative control over Japan. There are also those who believe that the reformers wanted to send key personnel to Shikoku and Kyushu in order to control these areas. So the top brass of the Navy unceremoniously vetoed the demands of the reformers.

As soon as the Navy's reply was confirmed, the Restorationists wrote a comprehensive report on the matter and disseminated it to Shikoku and Kyushu through the Air Force and various information channels. Even though there were many problems with the control of fertilizer distribution by the Regime, chemical fertilizers did effectively boost Japan's agricultural production. Farmers in Shikoku and Kyushu are eagerly waiting for this year's fertilizer to be used for spring planting. Even if there is a mutiny in Tokyo, if the fertilizer can be delivered in time, it will come in handy during the top dressing period. The farmers of Shikoku and Kyushu were really shocked and angry to see that the Japanese navy had prevented the transportation of fertilizers that could be transported to various places according to the plan.

On 18 May, a mid- and high-ranking naval officer finally suggested at a military meeting whether King Fushimi Miyahiro could temporarily allow ships transporting fertilizer to pass through the naval blockade. In fact, this is already very polite, and the so-called naval blockade has the flavor of existing in name only at this time. The bases are in a state of faltering. As to whether this change was a "mutiny" or a "Showa Restoration", the Navy's opinion gradually leaned towards the "Showa Restoration". For the Japanese, the Meiji Restoration was a righteous act that opened the way for Japan to become strong. King Fushimi Miyahiro knew very well that if the navy believed that this change was the Showa Restoration, the traitors would truly grasp the righteousness of Japan. Everything will be different then.

King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong came to the navy to be the chief of the Navy's Military Command Department, and the real purpose was to purge the navy of the guys Hirohito did not trust, so Fushimi Miyabo Gong was very suspicious of what the purpose of these people was. The Japanese people were nothing in the eyes of King Fushimi Miya, but now they have become even more hateful accomplices of the rebellious party. Instead of trying to save Hirohito at this time, they followed the rebels to put pressure on Hirohito. In Fushimi Palace, King Hirokoshi was serious, and it was a complete act of treason.

It's just that now the situation in Japan is very different, the bigwigs of the ruling faction are either killed or arrested, Hirohito simply falls into the hands of the traitor, and the powerful force behind King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong disappears at this time. So King Fushimi Palace could only snort coldly and did not respond.

The top brass of the Navy also refused to bow to the Army, and they were only pressured by the lower ranks to make this point of view. Since King Fushimi Miyahiro refused to speak, they also stopped mentioning it with interest.

However, if the top level does not mention it, the lower level has no way to ignore the matter of fertilizer. The young soldier knew that fertilizer could determine this year's harvest, and when King Fushimi Miyahiro went to the deck to inspect it, a young sailor with a cloudy face suddenly stepped forward and saluted King Fushimi. "Your Excellency, I would like to ask you for permission to transport fertilizer to Shikoku and Kyushu."

King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong was extremely sensitive to this issue, he already knew that the rebels this time were all young people, and when he saw the young face of the sailor, the panic in his heart erupted like a hostile dare. "Take him down!" King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong scolded loudly. After the guards took the young soldier down, King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong said angrily: "Carefully find out what kind of comrades he has!" After saying this, King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong shouted angrily: "Find out who spread the rumors!" ”

The fate of this sailor is miserable, and there are stubborn guys in the navy, especially those who are military officers. They wanted to be respected from above, and King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong demanded that "carefully find out what his accomplices are!" So the soldiers were brutally tortured, and the soldiers tried to get the information as soon as possible, and the torture was extremely heavy. He actually beat this soldier to death.

After killing someone, the soldiers were a little flustered. It's not because there will be any punishment for beating people to death, but there is an order from King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong, and if you kill someone, you will be killed. The problem is that after killing the young soldier, there is no clue. After all, King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong asked for the arrest of his comrades.

So the poor soldier, the soldiers of the same unit, were killed, and they were arrested and tortured and interrogated together. Under the feudal system, these appointees were accountable only to those in power. In order to satisfy the demands of those in power, they do not care at all about the Navy's own system of military law. In other words, the military justice system is just a tool in the hands of these people. It is the rule of the game for them to be powerful or promoted to make a fortune.

First, there are people who want to take advantage of this to get this thing and can't even do it, because the Navy has asked for a ban on spreading the news this time. If the news can reach the ship, it means that there is a chain of transmission of the message. This chain must be dug up completely.

Before the navy could fight the "traitors", a major inventory began within the naval fleet. The news spread very quickly, and all the soldiers who knew the news felt that everyone was in danger. On May 27, a conclave meeting was held in the engine room of the Kirishima, the flagship of the Combined Fleet. There were soldiers, lieutenants, and even colonels. What these participants have in common is that they are very young. All of them were born in rural areas.

What I want to say these days has been said a long time ago, and the most important thing now is what everyone wants to say but dare not say.

After a few conversations, who was arrested and who was investigated. These words only added to the gloomy atmosphere of the meeting. In the eyes and expressions exchanged with each other, these naval officers and sailors knew each other's thoughts.

Finally, the captain loosened his biting lip, and he said with a resolute look, "Let's participate in the Showa Restoration too." ”

On June 1, 1937, the Combined Fleet's fleet near Tokyo, led by the flagship Kirishima, approached the port of Tokyo, and the troops defending the coast were immediately alerted. But after the exchange of flags, the defenders on the shore received the shocking news that the first detachment of the combined fleet of the Navy requested to participate in the "Showa Restoration"!
