45 Liberation of Korea (3)
"Are we really not going to help North Korea establish a new government?" At a meeting of the Party Committee of the Volunteer Army Command, Mi Feng raised this issue. Mu Husan was silent, he made a definition in his heart for Comrade Mi Feng, how high this person's military accuracy is, how ruthless the political idiot is.
In terms of strategy, Mu Husan thinks that Mi Feng is definitely not under him, and in terms of tactics, Mu Husan thinks that he is only afraid that he is a little worse than Mi Feng. If he was the commander-in-chief of the Korean Liberation War, he would have to mobilize more than 300,000 troops and a large number of artillery to participate in the war. Mi Feng skillfully organized the offensive firepower of the troops, adopted the tactics of bulldozing the Japanese strongholds in one fell swoop, and adopted the mode of encircling but not attacking the key cities entrenched by the Japanese. The troops brought into play the spirit of continuous combat and intensified their marches. In twenty days, it advanced nearly a thousand miles to the edge of the plain.
The Japanese thought that the Chinese army would adopt the mode of attacking key points, so they gathered heavy troops to overhaul the fortifications. Such a response has become a burden on Japan itself. The Korean Volunteers first controlled the northern part of Korea, and then cleared the northern part of Korea. Mi Feng commanded more than 100,000 people to fight a beautiful battle.
However, the Central Military Commission has issued instructions to the Northeast Military Region on several occasions to absolutely not take the initiative to interfere in the internal affairs of the DPRK. After the liberation of North Korea, China will not take the initiative to exercise any control over North Korea except for security issues. Needless to say, Mu Husan understands this problem very well. The biggest advantage of the People's Party is that the system is the guide, and the party leader Chen Ke can come up with a set of systems, and he can also list the ideas and conditions for the operation of the system. This system is quite in line with China's national conditions and can also be integrated with the current world situation. As long as you are not politically stupid to the point of Mi Feng, there will not be much problem if you do it.
First, the Korean aspirants did not have the concept of building a modern industrial country, and second, they did not have the ability to absorb various systems and come up with a system that suited the national conditions of the DPRK. This process of exploration is destined to be difficult and difficult, and the People's Party's intervention in this process will not lead to good results.
Mi Feng only saw the merit of establishing a new system in Korea, but he did not understand the difficulties behind this feat. As long as people participate in social activities, they will either succeed or fail. The DPRK comrades have as much courage as their hearts are. This glance is a typical style of not having enough to do and more to lose. Why don't you draw a line with them and wait for your own troubles later?
If it is a person who has nothing to do with Mu Husan, according to Mu Husan's temperament, he will naturally "watch him rise up Zhu Lou, watch him feast guests, and watch his building collapse!" "Now Mi Feng is also a member of the headquarters, and Mu Husan can't get rid of what happened to Mi Feng. Seeing Mi Feng being stupid, Mu Husan finally said, "We must obey the orders of the Military Commission." ”
Mi Feng did not have the courage to challenge the authority of the Military Commission, and after listening to Mu Husan's words, Mi Feng finally closed his mouth.
Recently, there has been an anti-feudal campaign in the army, and many typical examples have been arrested in the army. God knows what to think of a division commander of the Northeast Military Region, who actually replaced the guards with "his own people." After this incident was arrested, the division commander, who could be regarded as a division commander with great military achievements, was immediately deprived of all his posts and imprisoned.
On the one hand, they must firmly defend the security of the chief, and if the chief has any act of collaborating with the enemy, treason, or the party, the security guard must report to the political security department, and in times of emergency, he or she may even subdue the chief who is carrying out reactionary acts. This is clearly a job of security and surveillance. Whoever dares to replace the guards with "their own people" means openly challenging the principle of the party commanding the gun. If it weren't for the fact that it was now peacetime, this division commander would only be able to be shot.
Mu Husan never thought about engaging in any reactionary acts, so he naturally didn't care if anyone was spying on him. Someone did this security work for him, and Mu Husan felt that he could save the boss's thoughts. However, many cadres are now seven dissatisfied with eight resentment, and there is no model for being dealt with, and these people don't know how powerful they are. As far as Mu Husan is concerned, Mi Feng can be regarded as knowing that he is afraid.
Liu Guange immediately interjected, "Then what should we do next about North Korea?" ”
Mu Husan replied: "This war will be a very long-term process, and we will leave the work of reorganizing the DPRK to the DPRK aspirants for the time being." If we secretly prepare food, we are likely to encounter a situation where a large number of Koreans from the south have fled to the north. At that time, the food problem was a big problem. ”
Liu Guange can understand this very well, but he has his own worries, "What if we retreat and the Japanese come over?" ”
Mu Husan replied: "The top priority now is to quickly establish a North Korean government that is recognized by the world. And it's not that we are fighting with the Japanese. As long as there is a Korean government that is recognized by the world, the war will be a war between Korea and Japan, and we will be able to do our best. At the end of the day, it's a political war, a diplomatic war. This kind of preparation should have been made in China a long time ago. Now we don't want to intervene, but get rid of it. ”
Mi Feng still didn't understand this matter, and Liu Guange understood what Mu Husan meant after thinking for a while.
The follow-up events were exactly as Mu Husan had predicted, and the central government sent Foreign Minister Lee Yun-seok to take charge of North Korean affairs. Sure enough, the primary responsibility is to establish a North Korean government.
The military and political representatives of the People's Party have understood what it means to "be crowned by a monkey." As far as the Korean aspirants perceive the world, many people still think that the earth is flat. They feel that as long as they have China behind them, as they have in the past, they can do anything. It's hard to let these guys know that their first priority is to create a North Korean government that is recognized by the world. These people have another idea, they feel that they are part of the world, that they are very important beings.
Mu Husan has given up dealing with North Korean fighters, and all these troublesome tasks are undertaken by Li Runshi, and Mu Husan is only responsible for the North Korean army. Regarding the performance of the North Koreans, Mu Husan felt that Chen Ke's repeated mention of "the Chinese people are a great people", a slogan that seems to be like political propaganda, is actually too correct.
It is absolutely not as difficult to carry out a revolution in China as it is in North Korea. The Chinese people are the people of a big country and have an incomparably profound cultural heritage. At least the Chinese know what to do. Many North Korean aspirants have seen the new industrial zones being built in northeastern China, and before their own government has finished building them, some people have already tried to ask China for assistance in establishing their own industries in North Korea. Politically, those who put forward such ideas are likely to want China's assistance to increase their voice in the yet-to-be-established North Korean government. What seems to be a good opportunity for China to intervene in North Korea can only prove the chaos within North Korea.
Mu Husan became the shopkeeper, but Li Runshi did not have such a blessing. He now integrates theory with practice, and can be regarded as having fully understood the relationship between science and democracy from practice. Chen Ke has always said that science is the foundation of democracy. A democracy without a scientific basis is at best a populist. What North Korea lacks most is science, not only in the natural sciences, but also in the social sciences.
Since its founding, the People's Party has made every effort to promote the establishment of natural and social sciences. In the period when there was not enough to eat, we vigorously promoted modern education. After having a base area, the road is getting smoother and smoother. Compare this with North Korea, which is easy to understand. Comrades who know at least the most basic scientific principles, as long as they do not violate the most basic sociological principles, will not do anything too out of the ordinary. When reasoning, everyone has heard the same noun, and it is enough to discuss the concept of what the noun represents.
Fools are never confused about one thing, but confused about everything. Coupled with the fact that there is no science to back it up, they always feel that just talking about it can bring benefits. If it weren't for the chaos in Japan, God knows what the situation would have developed now. This is indeed a surprise for North Koreans. However, Ri Yun-seok was very capable of working, and he forced the North Koreans to build a government framework first, and in the name of the "Korean People's Republic," he sent a telegram to governments all over the world, announcing the establishment of the North Koreans' own government. And a telegram was sent to the countries to establish diplomatic relations.
The unexpected joy of North Korea was the catastrophe of Japan. China suddenly intervened in Korean affairs and seized the Korean mountains under the banner of the Korean Volunteers, and the Japanese did not even have time to react. In addition to pleading with the British, the Japanese Navy came with a general mobilization.
Japan had won the last Sino-Japanese victory in the Korean War, and theoretically Japan could still copy the strategy of the last time. Japan soon discovered that this idea was no longer possible. The world is changing too fast.
The last war in Korea, there was no railway network in northeast China. Transporting troops or anything has to be carried on two legs, by sea. Now not only China has a relatively mature railway network, but North Korea also has railways in the country. Theoretically, from Zhengzhou, the capital of China, the railway could transport troops into northern Korea within 72 hours. The People's Party's first five-year plan, which officially began in 921, sent a large amount of manpower to the northeast to develop the resources of the northeast. In 1923, the population of Northeast China nearly doubled, and the strength of industry and agriculture developed rapidly. Relying only on the strength of the Northeast, China was able to go to war with Japan. The Government of Japan is extremely distressed.
In the aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake, China skillfully manipulated public opinion. The Japanese victims wantonly killed Koreans and Chinese in the disaster area, and the actions were publicized all over the world. The fact that China's relief convoy was attacked by the Japanese victims has caused the whole world to know that China has naturally stopped providing aid to Japan, and has even played a role behind it.
In recent years, reporters have been collecting information all over the world, and China has skillfully manipulated public opinion to put the Japanese people up and "kill all the Koreans!" Emigrate to all Korea! The slogan was spread to the world. The results of the interviews by journalists from various countries are consistent with Chinese propaganda, which has led to a total passivity on the part of Japan as a whole.
The current Minister of War Yoshiichi Tanaka took advantage of the panic among the people in the aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake to establish the Great Japan United Youth League, a nationwide youth organization with 2.5 million members and a strong support matrix for Tanaka. One of the purposes of such an organization was to enforce an immigration policy towards the colonies. Yoshiichi Tanaka did not expect a large number of foreign reporters to come to Japan for interviews. This confirms the pretext that Japan wants to kill all the Koreans.
When Okamura Ninji realized that something was wrong, he began to restrict foreign journalists' coverage in Japan. Japan's official practice of second-hand goods was immediately revealed. Local officials and powerful factions regard foreign journalists as predators, vigorously restrict the movement of foreign journalists, and even insult and even attack foreign journalists. This is even less beneficial to Japan's public opinion war, which has flooded American newspapers with negative news reports. There is also a lot of such news in European newspapers.
When the countries received the telegram from the Korean People's Republic, they were not in a hurry. This telegram does not mean anything, and it will take a long time for an official representative to go to another country. Newspapers around the world quickly got their hands on the information and reported on it. In addition, China's intelligence warfare units have published a large number of articles about the DPRK, especially the war between Korea and Japan, in many newspapers. A large number of European and American people who read these reports are still inclined to the cause of the liberation of Korea.
At the end of May 1924, Japan's intelligence in Europe and the United States returned to Japan, and the Japanese Cabinet found that things had gone completely beyond their imagination. What was supposed to be such a difficult event in the Far East has turned into international news. With the help of China and the Soviet Union, representatives of the DPRK arrived in Geneva, the seat of the League of Nations, on June 1, 1924, and asked the League of Nations to recognize the independence and sovereignty of Korea and support the cause of the liberation of Korea.
Although the League of Nations itself does not have coercive power, the League of Nations is also in the name of peace, and the League of Nations did not immediately accept the DPRK's request, but it did not completely reject it.
In short, this matter has gradually evolved into a worldwide problem.
Japan's crown prince, now Prince Regent, Hirohito, has become increasingly distrustful of Japan's cabinet, and the young prince wants to have a political team of his own. For the young Zhuang soldiers such as Okamura Ninji and Nagata Tetsuyama, who showed that they were pursuing themselves, Hirohito trusted more and more. While the cabinet was anxiously discussing changes in North Korea, Hirohito simply summoned these people to himself to ask for their opinions.
Nagata Tetsuyama is known as the smartest man in the Japanese Army, and he has completely seen through the current situation. With a blushing face, Nagata Tetsuyama replied, "Your Highness, what I can be sure of is that the People's Party has been planning this for a long time. The Great Kwantung Earthquake gave the People's Party an opportunity, and Chen Ke seized the opportunity to promote the matter. ”
Hirohito is 23 years old, 21 years younger than Chen Ke. Hirohito knew that in 1905, when Hirohito was 4 years old, Chen Ke joined China. During Hirohito's upbringing, he had heard the name of Chen Ke countless times, and every time the news that accompanied the name Chen Ke was about China's war and victory. Hearing Nagata Tetsuyama say this, Hirohito chuckled in his heart.
"Nagata-kun, why do you say that?" Hirohito asked.
Nagata Tieshan's face was still pale, and he replied seriously: "So much news appeared all over the world at the same time, and it is definitely not something that China can do immediately after the earthquake in Japan." It is inevitable that China has already made a lot of layouts in Europe and the United States, and many Chinese are waiting in Europe and the United States to send news. As soon as they received a notification from inside China, they immediately went into action. ”
Okamura Ninji's face was also extremely ugly, although Chen Ke's target was definitely not aimed at Okamura Ninji, but Okamura Ninji himself felt a great shame. As a soldier in charge of news management in the Tokyo disaster area, Okamura Ninji was played hard by China. In this way, a lot of news that was unfavorable to Japan flowed around the world. In addition to his anger at the People's Party, Okamura's more anger was directed at the "Choshu faction" in the Japanese army. If Yoshiichi Tanaka hadn't been so blatant in organizing his own political forces and crowding the port numbers to incite the gang. When foreign reporters arrive in the disaster area, they should visit the news that Japan is desperate to provide disaster relief and that the victims are desperate to save themselves.
The massacre could have been done in 1924, but it couldn't be brought to the table nakedly. It can't be brought to the eyes of the people. What's worse is that there are indeed journalists who are attacked, and journalists who make a living by writing sensational articles, fearing that the world will not be chaotic. They have to make up stories out of nothing, let alone after being beaten. So far, Japan has lost a lot of money.
Hirohito was just a 23-year-old boy who couldn't understand so many things. So Hirohito didn't think that Okamura Ninji had any mistakes in the end. Moreover, Nagata Tetsuyama made it very clear that the People's Party had already set up a situation and took advantage of this earthquake. Earthquakes are not something that anyone can control. Hirohito asked, "What should be the solution?" ”
Nagata Tetsuyama looked at Okamura Ninji beside him, and then at Minshiro Ohata, strategically one step behind, almost step by step. The best way for Japan to do so now is to defeat China, force China to admit defeat, as it did in the Sino-Japanese War, and finally take full control of Korea. Of course, this is only a theoretical approach. Now, as long as China and Japan go to war, the result of a protracted war will inevitably be Japan's loss of Korea. In addition to this method, Japan would have to limit its military objectives to Korea and endure a long war.
They did not dare not fail to answer His Royal Highness Hirohito's questions, and Nagata Tetsuyama was not at all optimistic about the outcome of the war with the battlefield to limit Korea. However, Minshiro Obata was more straightforward, and he took over, "Your Highness, the current response is to defeat the forces of all other countries in Korea. At the same time, there can be no full-scale war with China. ”
Hirohito, who was a student of Nogi Noshinori and Heihachiro Togo, was barely able to understand this suggestion. After thinking for a while, he continued to ask, "So what is the benefit of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance for our country?" Our country has no other benefit than to defend China, the Soviet Union, and the United States. ”
Nagata Tetsuyama, Okamura Ninji, and Toshiro Ohata, the core members of the "Baden-Baden Three Feathers", were unable to pick up this conversation. There is no doubt that the Anglo-Japanese alliance is increasingly becoming a shackle to Japan. Through this alliance, the British restrained Japan and pitted it against the three great powers in the Far East. But what will happen if Japan no longer confronts these three powers? China received from the Soviet Union land on the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin, which is now on the Japanese map, and once China has achieved naval superiority, they will attack Japan without mercy. What did Japan do then?
