Chapter 219: Puppet Manchuria
ββ Tokyo
Hirohito asked in disbelief, "Is this true?" How could there be a Soviet general defecting? β
Konoe said excitedly, "This shows that Your Majesty's benevolence has spread far and wide, and it has come from all directions. β
Hirohito shook his head and said, "It's too much, does this general provide any important information?" β
"Indeed, Ryushikov reported that Stalin had amassed more than half a million troops in the Far East, and that there were more than 1,300 aircraft and more than 5,000 artillery pieces and a large number of chariot troops, and that in our Manchukuo there were hundreds of Soviet spies in operation, and that Stalin had a plan to intervene in the Soviet Union as soon as China was in danger of a total fall." β
Hirohito snorted coldly and said, "It seems that our truce this time is still too easy, and the Soviet Union should be punished more severely." β
Konoe smiled, "But this time I also figured out the bottom of the Soviet Union, and the analysis of the battle reports on the front line believes that they are not even as good as the National Army of China, and the hand-to-hand combat is 117:4, as long as they have a few warriors, they will not fight like this." The Soviet Red Army, there is really not a single one that can fight. β
Hirohito nodded and said, "I see that the plan reported by the Kwantung Army can be considered." β
-- Wuhan
Jiang Zhong sighed, shook his head and said, "It's really disappointing that the Japanese and Soviet Union actually made a truce like this. β
He Yingqin raised his glasses and pointed to the map and said, "After the Japanese and Soviet peace, the Japanese army in the north immediately began to act, and the Japanese soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way to Lu'an, the gateway of Dabie Mountain, and all the way to Luoshan and Xinyang, and Wuhan, our army has begun to exchange fire with the forward troops of the Japanese army. β
Jiang Zhong nodded and said, "Tell Li Zongren that all the troops are resisting step by step, and don't give the Japanese army a chance to annihilate our main force, before the Japanese army reaches Wuhan City." I hope he can make the Japanese pay at least 100,000 casualties. β
He Yingqin was walking down, and after a while, Dai Li walked in.
"Headmaster, it's been found out, Childe's money was borrowed from Wei Hua, you see. Do you want to warn Weihua? Dai Lian asked cautiously.
"Hehe, this kid, I've found the right person." Jiang intermediary not only did not get angry, but laughed and said, "Jianfeng has grown up, let him go, he used all this money to build roads and people's livelihood, indicating that he also knows what he should do, as for cultivating a few officers who are close to him, it is normal, but." This centaur is still trained by himself, okay, you go down, by the way, send a message to Wei Hua, I haven't seen that bastard kid for a long time, ask him to come to Wuhan. β
Dai Li's heart tightened, knowing that another political force was about to rise. Nodding slightly, he turned to leave.
Jiang squinted at Dai Li's back. I don't know what I'm thinking.
After 918, the puppet "Manchukuo" was divided into 14 provinces, 2 special cities, and 1 special district in 1934. The form of government is a constitutional monarchy, Pu Yi is the "emperor", and the "era name" is "Kant". Although the puppet state of Manchukuo also had various organs and departments, the real power was in the hands of the deputy ministers of the "ministries" held by the Japanese.
There are many ethnic groups in the puppet Manchu State, including Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Korean, Japanese, Russian and other ethnic groups. The inhabitants are divided by ethnicity, and there are hierarchical differences, and since the July Seven Incident, Japan's domestic economy has shown a short-lived boom, but only industry has prospered. In 1938, Japan began to implement the raw material rationing system, and the very famous Lao Dingfeng could only receive a bag of noodles and a few catties of sugar every day, and later could only be rationed a little mixed noodles, and only a few catties of mixed noodles could be used to produce dozens of catties of mixed noodles and biscuits every day.
- Wangye Temple
This is the border area of the puppet Manchukuo Xing'an Province, and it is still a grassland area, and there are endless steppes everywhere. Dozens of fiery horses are galloping across the steppe. The turf and dust kicked up by the horses' hooves can be seen from afar.
"Boss, no, sir, there is a checkpoint ahead, I heard those herdsmen in front of me say that there are devil soldiers there." It was Wang Yong who spoke, Jiang Cheng and his party had been running on the grassland for a week, and finally came to the border of the puppet Manchukuo.
"Everyone pay attention to their words and deeds, we will meet a lot of devils next, don't miss the horse when interrogating." Jiang Cheng tidied up his outfit and said, "Okay, let's go." β
After a while, an official road appeared in front of everyone, and pedestrians could be seen coming and going on the official road from time to time, and a boundary monument appeared in front of Jiang Cheng and others, but it was a boundary monument of the puppet Manchukuo.
"Humph!" Ye Jianying snorted coldly, and held back without speaking, Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Everyone keep going, don't be too humble, we are the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire." β
On the official road, Jiang Cheng can see the living state of the puppet Manchukuo, the state of the pedestrians on the road can see his ethnic composition, the Japanese are always holding their heads high, as if provoking something, because of the good food, the face is more ruddy, and although the Chinese are not thin, they are mostly in a hurry, as if they are running away from something.
"Who are you?" A loud shout called Jiang Cheng out from the observer's point of view, but when he arrived at the checkpoint, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers and puppet Manchurian soldiers asked themselves nervously, two crooked handles to themselves, the Japanese army equipment here is much better than that in the pass.
Jiang Cheng took out a document from his arms and threw it to the puppet Manchurian officer who asked the question, and shouted in Japanese, "Baga, if I am the enemy, you have been wiped out, is your instructor asking you to stand guard like this?" β
When the puppet officer heard that it was Japanese, he hurriedly held his ID card high above his head and handed it to the Japanese soldier next to him.
When the Japanese soldier saw it, he immediately stood up and shouted, "Hello Mr. Captain, I'm sorry, we haven't received any news that you want to pass, we need to ask our superiors for instructions." β
When Jiang Cheng heard this, a horse whip struck him and scolded, "Bage Yalu, don't you know that I am a special task for special high-tech?" Do you want everyone to know that this task has not been successful, and that your head has been gnawed by a dog? β
The rank of the Japanese soldier is just a captain, and Jiang Cheng's rank is captain, which is a rank only available to ordinary squadron leaders or strengthened squads, where can a squad leader be provoked, and he hurriedly didn't dare to speak again.
At this time, a Japanese officer walked out, and Jiang Cheng couldn't help frowning when he saw his epaulettes. But a lieutenant.
"Captain Kowloon, this is also for the sake of safety, please forgive me." The lieutenant said slowly, took Jiang Cheng's certificate, looked at it, and said, "Why haven't I heard that there is a team like you in Tegaoke going out from us?" β
Jiang Cheng pointed indifferently to the inside of the checkpoint and said, "Then you call, I was transferred from King De, of course you haven't heard of it, you people know that you are suspicious." But there is no way to deal with the real anti-United Nations, and there is no way to do it, so I came to find us. β
The lieutenant looked at Jiang Cheng suspiciously, walked over and made a call.
"Boss, do you want to do it?" Li Qian whispered in Jiang Cheng's ear.
Jiang Cheng touched the button in his pocket and said with a smile: "If he makes this call, I'll give you a box of candy to eat." β
The lieutenant frowned and looked at the phone in his hand, swallowing his saliva, not knowing what was going on.
"I said, have you gotten through? The military situation is urgent. Is that how you do things in Manchuria? Jiang Cheng shouted urgically, and the leather whip in his hand kept snapping.
The lieutenant lowered his head and thought for a while, looked at the document in his hand again, and after confirming it again, he said with a smile, "The phone seems to be broken, but it's just a process, Captain Kowloon is still a matter of military information, let him go." β
The Japanese army was seen putting away their guns. Wang Yong and others who couldn't understand Japanese secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Cheng nodded and put away his documents. Waving his hand and shouting, "Forward!" β
"Slow!!" The lieutenant suddenly pointed at Li Qian and asked, "Mr. Captain, why do you have a woman in your unit?" β
Li Qian was shocked at first, then leaped off the horse, and a dagger appeared in her hand, flashed behind the lieutenant, and whispered in Japanese, "Iga Ninja Nako, please give me a lot of advice." β
Jiang Cheng laughed and said, "This is a ninja from Iga. You're here to learn, Mr. Lieutenant, you're so rare and weird. β
The lieutenant snorted in embarrassment, didn't dare to speak again, and watched Jiang Cheng and his party leave.
β203γ I'm scared to death, how do you know that the call won't work? Li Fuchun asked curiously.
"It's not simple, it must have been our people who cut the phone line in advance, right?" Sister Cai said with a smile.
Jiang Cheng looked left and right and said, "Everyone, we have to decide how to go next, my opinion is to take the train to Harbin first." β
Ye Jianying nodded and said, "Yes, there are dense mountains and forests here in the Northeast, and we just need to reach the Songhua River." β
Jiang Cheng pointed to the map and said, "Uncle Ye, Brother Wang, you see, most of our troops are in the east of Harbin, which is now called Sanjiang Province. After arriving in Harbin, we can go down the river to Sanjiang Province. β
Ye Jianying and Wang Jiaxiang stepped forward to look at it for a while, especially when they saw the dense checkpoints along the way from Harbin to Sanjiang Province, they couldn't help but gasp.
"How did this little devil set up so many levels here, and how many times have we been interrogated along the way?" Wang Jiaxiang asked with some concern.
Jiang Cheng said helplessly, "There is no way, in order to prevent the Anti-Japanese Federation from being resupplied, the little devil adopts the system of group tribes, forcibly relocates our villagers to it, supplies the villagers with food, and sets up a strict blockade line." Establish a large number of no-man's land, and sometimes let the Japanese agricultural reclamation group separate our base areas, here, don't easily trust the people, because you don't know who he is for, and it is even possible that he is Japanese. β
Ye Jianying sighed and said, "The living environment here is too bad, guerrilla warfare without the common people is like a fish without water, Commander Yang is not easy." β
Jiang Cheng put away the map and said with a smile, "It's easy with us, okay, let's go." β
The train ticket in 1938 did not require any documents, in fact, there were a large number of stateless people in Manchukuo at this time, most of these people were Chinese or foreign ronins who did not want to join Manchukuo, such as Gypsies or Jews, at this time there were about 780,000, so Jiang Cheng and others swaggered on the train, because they had military ID, they could also take the train with guns and ammunition.
Traveling all the way east, looking at the fields and factories along the way, Jiang Cheng didn't feel anything from the afterlife, but the eyes of Ye Jianying and others were getting wider and wider, especially when they arrived in Harbin, they saw wires, cars, and high-rise buildings everywhere, as if they had come to Shanghai.
"Little Liuzi's sin is unforgivable!!" Ye Jianying suddenly gritted his teeth and said, and Wang Jiaxiang, Li Fuchun and others also nodded in agreement.
Jiang Cheng pointed to the wire and said, "Japan is building this place as its own territory, if there are 100 industries in China, 80 are now in the Northeast, the other 10 are in Taiwan, and the last 10 are in Kannai." β
Ye Jianying said with his fists in his hands: "Such a place, if we can't get it back, we won't have the face to see our ancestors and ancestors when we go down in the future." β
Jiang Cheng patted Ye Jianying's hand and said, "Yes, okay." We've arrived, and the rest of the way is for us to go our own. β
Jiang Cheng and the others walked out of the train station, thinking that the social atmosphere in the northeast during the war should be very tense, but on the contrary, in Harbin, people of all nationalities can be seen everywhere in their normal lives, the roofs of Orthodox churches can be seen everywhere, the Japanese shrines are also full of fireworks, and the high singing of Japanese or Russian can be heard from time to time in the restaurant, but only the laughter of the Chinese, the original owner of this land, is difficult to hear here.
"Let's go, here's our connector. There are too many of us. Wang Yong led everyone outside, and Li Qian, Uncle Ye, Brother Wang and I went in. Jiang Cheng saw a hotel called "Huohainan" and said.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Cheng saw Zhou Weiguo shouting loudly inside, "You guys, hurry up and serve, this Taijun, the sashimi is still to your taste, oh, my friend, the vodka you want will come right away." β
Jiang Cheng beckoned and said, "Boss, are the two boxes I ordered in?" β
When Zhou Weiguo saw Jiang Cheng, his hands trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Boss, I've been waiting for you to come, come on, come on, hurry, send it to the box and wait." β
"Eight Geya Road, when will the people of China be able to eat in the restaurant?" A drunken ronin shouted at Jiang Cheng with a breath of wine.
Li Qian stepped forward and slapped the ronin to the ground, shouting in Japanese, "Do you want to die?" β
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said in Japanese, "Okay, let's go up, it seems that you still have to speak your mother tongue so that you won't get into trouble." As he spoke, he threw a few yen onto the ronin.
When the drunken Japanese who were drinking with the ronin saw the yen and heard that it was a pure Tokyo accent, they didn't dare to provoke it at all, so they hurriedly dragged the ronin out.
In the box, Zhou Weiguo saluted Jiang Cheng and said, "Boss, I've been waiting for you here for more than ten days, so it's finally here." β
Ye Jianying looked around and asked, "Is it safe here?" β
Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "The two boxes next to this are also our people, and our boxes have good sound insulation, but this store is still monitored by the Japanese, they must have discovered our group of people, I'm afraid it won't be long before they come to interrogate, I think it's better for us to leave early." β
Jiang Cheng asked, "How do we get to the base area?" By water or by land? β
Zhou Weiguo poured a cup of tea, dipped his fingers in the water and said, "When the waterway reaches the river, we can't walk, here we have to go ashore, and then take the land route into the forest." β
Ye Jianying immediately said, "Let's leave immediately, I'm afraid something will happen to that Japanese ronin just now." β
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is very common here, but you are right, I have prepared a boat in the Songhua River, and we can set off immediately." β
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, then set off immediately." (To be continued.) )
