As far as Japan was concerned, the establishment of the Wang puppet regime against the Chiang regime in Chongqing was the established strategy of the Japanese army, and the report submitted to the cabinet by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave a detailed report on the establishment of the Wang puppet regime.

In 1938, the Japanese army captured Xuzhou, and although it was a great progress in terms of the war situation on the mainland at that time, in view of the fact that the future of dealing with the incident was still very far away, in order to gather China's strength to directly resolve the incident in the future, and on the premise of achieving the war goal within this year, on June 13, 1938, the Japanese government's five-phase meeting was held in Tokyo.

The meeting decided on the "Guidelines for Future Incidents in China" and accepted the conditions for friendly mediation by a third country according to the situation. If the old Nanking government surrendered, it would be incorporated under the central power of emerging China; If it did not surrender, it would devote the strength of the whole country to defeat the old Nanjing government or force it to surrender.

At the same time, it is necessary to expand and strengthen the various pro-Japanese regimes, and to unify these regimes into one regime as soon as possible and form them into the Chinese central government, so that the new regime cannot but be recognized at home and abroad to replace the old Nanking government.

Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Nationalist Government led by Lao Chiang has been fighting against the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield one after another, although several major battles have ended in defeat, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the persistence of the Lao Chiang government in the early days that the Japanese army had to change its policy toward China and began to plan to form a new government to replace the Nationalist Government of Lao Chiang.

As a matter of fact, there is no consensus among the top leaders in Japan on cooperating with a Chinese politician like Wang Ching-wei, and some people in the military department have expressed opposition to Wang Ching-wei's work from an operational perspective.

However, the decision of the five-phase meeting on 6 June was that the establishment of a new central government could be used as a general policy to deal with the issue on the basis of an autonomous stance in order to cooperate with the guidance for all-out war at the present stage. The new central government consisted of Wang, Wu (Peifu), the established regime, and the repentant Chongqing government.

According to the minutes of the meeting at the time, the Japanese side described this issue as follows: "Although it is a Chinese issue, our side should appropriately assist in its establishment." At the same time, the future political form should adopt the principle of division and cooperation in accordance with historical and current conditions. As for its contents, in addition to the "policy for adjusting new relations between Japan and China," the Chinese side will handle internal affairs on its own, and it has decided to recognize the Three People's Principles of abandoning the principle of resisting Japan and accommodating the Communist Party and adopting a pro-Japanese "Manchurian" defense against the Communist Party. ”

The establishment of Wang's puppet regime is definitely not a good thing for either Ma Zheng or the entire Chinese nation. The harm of Wang's puppet regime is enormous, much greater than that of the previous puppet Manchukuo and the puppet Nationalist Provisional Government established by Wang Kemin and others in Beiping.

Although Ma Zheng has a certain understanding of the reasons for Wang Jingwei's establishment of the puppet regime, this does not prevent Ma Zheng from hating the members of Wang's puppet regime.

Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun felt deeply under the fence, very depressed, if once independent as the king, although the court is small, the victory over the cow, so the national hypochondria played a role in him. Wang Jingwei and others managed to secretly escape from the control of Lao Chiang and fled to Hanoi, Vietnam, and then Japanese Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe issued a statement on China's surrender, and Wang Jingwei responded by sending a telegram to surrender to Japan, and then negotiated "peace".

After the establishment of the Wang puppet regime, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression ushered in the most difficult moment, and batches of Kuomintang troops surrendered to the nightmare of Lao Chiang, and it is not possible to fully count that from the establishment of the Wang puppet regime to its dissolution in 45 years, more than 1 million Kuomintang troops surrendered to the Wang puppet regime in just five years.

Moreover, the defense area of the Wang puppet regime was extremely large, and the restrictions on the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and other anti-Japanese forces were also extremely severe, and the area under the jurisdiction of the Wang puppet government included most of the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, the cities of Shanghai and Nanjing, and a small part of the provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Shandong, and Henan.

After the Japanese army invaded and occupied China's northeast region, it advanced step by step towards Guannai, and successively established puppet regimes such as the "Autonomous Government of the Communist Party of Eastern Hebei," the "Military Government of North China," the "Provisional Government" (Beijing), the "Restoration Government" (Nanjing), the "Autonomous Government of Chanan," the "Autonomous Government of Northern Shanxi," and the "Autonomous Government of the Mongolian-Xinjiang Alliance."

It was not until after Wang Jingwei's treason that he established a puppet "Nationalist Government" in Nanjing, and integrated the "North China Political Affairs Committee" restructured from the puppet "Provisional Government" in Beijing, and the "Mongolian-Xinjiang Joint Committee" established by merging the "Autonomous Government of the Mongolian and Xinjiang Alliance" with the "Autonomous Government of Chanan and Southern Provinces" and the "Autonomous Government of Northern Shanxi".

Although Wang's puppet "Nationalist Government" nominally has a puppet "North China Political Affairs Committee" and a puppet "Mongolian-Xinjiang United Autonomous Government," in fact it only directly governs Jiangsu, Huaihai, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, and other provinces, as well as Nanjing, Shanghai, Hankou, Xiamen, and other cities; and with the exception of Jiangsu, Huaihai, and Anhui provinces, where the situation is relatively complete, other provinces and autonomous regions often occupy only a few counties, and the puppet "North China Political Affairs Committee" has jurisdiction over the four provinces of Hebei, Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi, as well as the three cities of Beiping, Tianjin, and Qingdao.

The harm caused by Wang's puppet regime was enormous, and politically it co-opted the Kuomintang troops to surrender to Japan, bribed hooligans and ruffians to establish the "Peaceful Nation-building Army" and spy organizations, exercised fascist rule in its jurisdiction, and hunted down and killed anti-Japanese patriots. Cooperate with Japan to lure the Chongqing Nationalist Government to surrender in a vain attempt to disintegrate the anti-Japanese national united front.

In March 1941, the Wang puppet regime also set up a committee to clear the township, gathering a large number of puppet troops to join forces with the Japanese army to suppress the communist party and clear the township, in a vain attempt to eliminate the New Fourth Army and guerrillas who insisted on resisting the war behind enemy lines.

Economically, they have issued paper money indiscriminately, encircled land, "entrusted the operation" of certain industrial and mining enterprises, forcibly expropriated grain and cotton, exercised material control, and collected a wide variety of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and openly levied opium donations. In terms of culture and education, slavery education was implemented. All in all, this is a puppet regime dedicated to assisting the Japanese in their mutilation of the Chinese.

After receiving the news of the establishment of the Wang puppet regime, Ma Zheng was a little stunned, and the Wang puppet regime was established ahead of schedule. Out of his understanding of Wang's puppet regime, Ma Zheng felt that the burden on his body suddenly became a lot heavier. Although Ma Zheng deeply despised Wang Jingwei's crime of betraying the country and defecting to the enemy, he even had an impulse after receiving a telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, preparing to send an elite special operations unit to assassinate Wang Jingwei.

However, Ma Zheng now knows that even if he knows the development trend of history, he is powerless against Wang's puppet regime, and as far as Ma Zheng knows, the Nationalist Government also hates Wang Jingwei's treason against the enemy, and has taken a very extreme and severe way to retaliate against Wang Jingwei.

In fact, after Wang Jingwei fled, the Nationalist Government has always sent people to monitor him. On March 19, 1939, Chen Gongshu, who had been monitoring Wang Jingwei, received a sanction order issued by Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, ordering Wang Jingwei to be severely punished. Late at night on March 20, a shooting occurred in a garden house at 27 Gao Lang Street in Hanoi at the apartment of Wang Jingwei, a former vice president of the Kuomintang who fled Chinese mainland for months.

Wang Ching-wei himself was an assassin and had been assassinated many times in his life, but this assassination in Hanoi was shocking and saddening. Even Zeng Zhongming, a close subordinate whom he regarded as a son, was shot in the abdomen more than 10 times, like a honeycomb, and died the next afternoon. But there is still no way to deal with him, Wang Jingwei is not alive and well, and he has not yet established a puppet regime.

The gunfire on Gao Lang Street also woke up the Japanese, and Kageza Showa and Inuyoken quickly set off to Hanoi to rescue Wang Jingwei, so much so that a thrilling spy war was staged in Hanoi.

At present, although the number of special combat units in the Suicha Military Region is quite large, there are not many of them scattered into various military subdivisions. Besides, there are wars going on everywhere now, and the special combat unit is an extremely important force for the Suicha Military Region, and there is absolutely no room for failure.

Moreover, since the beginning of the current anti-sweeping campaign, the Suicha Military Region has not only sent out all the special combat teams, but even almost all the special combat personnel who have not yet completed their training have been transferred to the front line. Therefore, at this critical juncture, it was impossible for Ma Zheng to send special operations troops to Nanjing to assassinate Wang Jingwei. (To be continued.) )
