Chapter 377: Kaufman (1)
Over the next two days, the speed of the move was accelerated due to the large number of horses. And Meng Qingshan also summoned the people nearby, as long as they came to help transport the materials, each family gave 20 catties of grain, and a total of more than 10,000 people came to help carry the materials. Finally, with the support of a large number of manpower, the task that would have taken four days to complete was successfully completed in only two days.
"Commander-in-chief, it's time for us to retreat, the cavalry regiment has come to report that the Japanese reinforcements are still five hours away from Qiqihar." Liu Yalou walked into the room and said.
"Lao Liu, are all the arrangements finished?"
"Commander-in-chief, don't worry! When we were carrying supplies, the engineer battalion of the guard brigade, under the command of Brigade Commander Shen, placed a large amount of explosives at the railway station, the telegraph office, the Longjiang Provincial Government of the puppet Manchurian government, the Qiqihar city government, the headquarters of the Third Military Region, the Qiqihar branch of the Central Bank of the puppet Manchukuo, the provincial and municipal police stations, the regimental headquarters building of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, and all the banks of Japan. As soon as we leave, we will immediately detonate the explosives, leaving nothing for the little devils. Liu Yalou said with a smile.
After listening to Liu Yalou's words, Meng Qingshan nodded, turned to look at Xiao Huzi, who was directing the guards to pack up his things, "Huzi, are you done cleaning up?" ”
"Commander-in-Chief, right away."
"Lao Liu, let's go to the ferry now!" Meng Qingshan walked out with a smile.
As soon as Meng Qingshan walked out of the headquarters of the Japanese army, he saw a commotion in the distance, a group of people gathered in several circles and didn't know what they were doing, Meng Qingshan asked curiously, and said, "What is Lao Liu doing in that direction?" How did the people come together? ”
Liu Yalou looked in the direction Meng Qingshan said. Said: "Commander-in-chief, that place is the place where traitors have been tried these days. I heard that they have just caught a few traitors from Harbin and are preparing for a public trial. ”
"Oh! Then we have to take a look, Huzi, you go and inform Division Commander Zhu and let him lead the artillery brigade to cross the river first. We'll be there. After Meng Qingshan finished speaking, he walked towards the venue.
"Hey, you can't do that! We are not Japanese, we are not your enemies! We are not traitors, we are international friends. ”
"Shut up! Be honest with me, and be careful that you're not being polite! ”
"You barbarian fellows, you have wronged good people and called your chief, and I want to see him."
"Fight a little more and blow your head off!"
Watching the blonde foreigner on the stage speaking not very standard Chinese from the audience, Meng Qingshan's brow wrinkled and said, "Old Liu." Are you sure they are traitors? Why doesn't it look like a soldier? Could it be that the army of the little devils actually recruited foreigners? ”
"It's really not like it, at least it's not in line with the tradition of the devil's army. Besides, it is impossible for the little devil to send three blonde and blue-eyed foreigners here to inquire about the news, these people are like a fire in the dark night is very conspicuous, these people, it is almost the same as spies, although I have also heard that the little devils specially trained a group of foreigners to lurk in the north, but this group of people does not look like it, it can't be the wrong person, right? Liu Yalou said in Meng Qingshan's ear.
Standing at the front was a foreigner in his fifties or sixties, his eyes piercing. has a calm bearing, chic demeanor, quite a star style, and looks like he is the leader of a party. There is some strong aura on his body, very affinity, more like a gentleman.
Meng Qingshan turned around and said a word to Li Daniu before leaving the venue. I returned to the empty conference room.
After a while, under the escort of Li Daniu, three blonde and blue-eyed foreigners were brought to Meng Qingshan, and the elderly foreigner in the lead saw Meng Qingshan in the middle of the crowd at a glance. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly struggled and shouted, "Your Excellency the honorable general." We are not your enemies, we are your friends, we are here to help you, we are not Japanese, we are foreigners, you have caught the wrong person......"
Several soldiers rushed forward to hold him down and tried to push him to the ground.
"Forget it!" Meng Qingshan waved his hand, motioned to let go of them, and then said, "Since we are friends, shouldn't we talk openly and honestly?" ”
The leading foreigner nodded.
"So be it!" Meng Qingshan tapped his fingers on the table and said with a relaxed smile: "Please introduce yourself first and explain your intentions." I don't want someone to lie, though. ”
"Abraham. Josefervich. Abraham Josevich Kaufman (Russian name Абрам Иосифович Кауфман), I am a Jew. The old man was the first to reply.
Meng Qingshan was shocked when he heard the old man's introduction, he didn't expect that these foreigners in front of him were actually well-known Jews, and the old man who led him was a Jewish social activist, the leader of the Harbin Jewish Religious Council, the most important leader of the Zionist organization in Harbin and the Far East, the leader of many Jewish cultural institutions in Harbin, a famous doctor in Harbin, and the most important political leader of the Jews in Harbin in modern times. Kaufman's activities in Harbin are not only of great significance for the study of the history of Harbin Jews, but he is also an indispensable figure in the study of Harbin's history of foreign relations, immigration, politics, religion, and urban development. According to later reports on the "extreme secrets" of the Japanese, Kaufman "is a very capable Jewish social activist with a burning lust for power and fame, and the supreme leader of the Jews in Harbin. Really came to help the Anti-Japanese Federation, weren't the Jews in the honeymoon period with the Japanese at this time? Why did he come here at this time, which made Meng Qingshan very vigilant.
The Jews were a people of great talent, and they were best at doing business and accumulating wealth. After the September 18 Incident, Japan occupied Northeast China, and the resource-rich land of Northeast China made the eyes of the Japanese red, and they were eager to develop the resources of Northeast China in order to support Japan's further expansion of aggression. At the beginning, the Kwantung Army experimented with immigrating from Japan to the Northeast, but the first batch of resettlement plans failed, and in the end only two families of immigrants remained in the resettlement village, in fact, these Japanese expatriates who came to the three eastern provinces would not plant dry fields at all, they planted oats and barley to feed the horses, they said nicely to open up, in fact, they didn't even know how to plant the land, the grain they ate was rice issued by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and they didn't eat sorghum rice, and they wore yellow clothes issued by the Kwantung Army Military Department, In the early stage, these immigrants were simply dragging the empire back, and if it weren't for the materials captured by the Japanese Kwantung Army from the Northeast Army and the materials snatched from the common people, these immigrants would have starved to death.
At this time, the Japanese targeted wealthy Jews. Some Japanese experts on Jewish issues began to study and try to use Jewish capital to build the Tohoku issue. Because this has the advantage of pleasing the United States. The Jews have a lot of influence in the United States, and the Japanese do this, which is easy to arouse the favor of the American Jewish capitalists.
There is a basis for Japan to have such an idea. At the time of the Russo-Japanese War, the Jewish billionaire in the American financial world, Jacob? Out of hatred for the anti-Jewish policies of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, Scheuv raised a loan of $20 million and offered to finance Japan. Emperor Meiji made an exception to invite Jacob in the Imperial Palace? Sheff had lunch together. That is, the Japanese believed that there was a traditional friendship between them and the Jews.
When Hitler came to power, he launched an anti-Semitic campaign. Japan has developed a "Fugu Project". In 1934, Ayukawa Yoshisuke, a Japanese steel magnum, published an article in a diplomatic journal called "A Plan to Invite 50,000 German Jews to Manchukuo." This is the indiscriminate nature of the puffer fish program. At the same time, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs instructed the embassies in Europe to collect a large amount of information on Jews, and also set up a special office for the study of Jewish issues in the country. Japanese intelligence agencies also sent spies such as "expert on Jewish issues" Yasue Senhiro Daisa to Europe. Finally, Yasue and others presented a detailed plan for Jewish immigration. In the same year, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs approved the plan and named it the "Fugu Project".
The reason why it is called the Fugu Project is because the Japanese like to eat fugu and know that it is highly poisonous. Without the chef's correct, careful cooking. It will poison people to death. The Japanese believed that Jews would be very beneficial to Japan, but they were also very dangerous, like pufferfish. The Jews who had been reformed by Japanese immigrants were like the puffer fish that had been cooked by a chef, and it was good for Japan. (To be continued.) )
