In the winter of 1933, Taipei seemed to be colder than the previous winter, and the cold wind, which was usually felt in the more northern regions, blew people in the streets and alleys of Taipei.

Standing upstairs in the Taiwan Governor's Palace, looking at the familiar streets of Taipei in front of him, Umezu Mijiro was holding his hand with a knife, numb by the cold wind.

Umezu Yoshijiro, who succeeded Matsui Ishine as Taiwan's governor-in-chief, was transferred from the post of director of the General Affairs Department of the General Staff Headquarters to the post of governor-general of the Taiwan Governor-General's Office, the highest authority in Taiwan. This is already a very high honor for a soldier who was born in a peasant family in Oita Prefecture, Kitakyushu.

However, in less than a year, before Governor Umezu Yoshijiro's ambitions could be realized, the situation of the Sino-Chinese war was completely reversed, and the former governor of Taiwan, His Excellency Matsui Ishine, the commander of the garrison, went to the battlefield in Shenyang, and did not change the fate of the empire's defeat, and even became a member of the surrender himself.

As an excellent high-level commander of the imperial [***] team, Umezu Mijiro knows very well that in a situation where the domestic situation is getting worse and the country is getting stronger and stronger, a war with no hope in sight, defeat is inevitable. However, it is very difficult for him to give up on Taiwan.

"Beautiful and rich Taiwan, 39 years of life, which has made a great contribution to the strength of the empire, is now coming to an end in my tenure."

Looking at the sunset slowly falling into the mountains in the distance, Umezu Mijiro's heart was cool. Is it really a portrayal of the empire, the powerful empire that dared to gamble with the fortunes of the country, fight the big with the small, and defeat Korea, China, and Tsarist Russia with militaristic ambitions, is it really going to fail?

"Report."

"Come in."

Umezu Yoshijiro recovered from his trance, turned and walked back to his office, regaining the majesty of the calm governor of Taiwan and the commander of the garrison.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this is the official withdrawal notice I just received, the Imperial Cabinet and the Military Department, two withdrawal orders." The staff officer of the Governor's Palace, said carefully.

"Put it down, you go out first."

Umezu Mijiro waved his hand to signal the staff officer to withdraw, although he had long known that the Chinese had adhered to an unprecedented position in the Shanghai peace talks, and had also received news from the military department in advance that Taiwan might be abandoned, but when the matter came, Umezu Mijiro was still a little reluctant to give up, but as an emperor [***], the cabinet's order may not have to be obeyed, but the military department's withdrawal order was not something he could disobey.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Mikami Mao from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Governor's Mansion had approached him, saying that there were some 'Chinese who were extremely loyal to the empire and were willing to follow the empire and make their own efforts for the grand cause of the empire.

Picking up the phone, Umezu Mijiro dialed the number of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Mikami Mao, "You come to the Governor's Mansion immediately, and by the way, bring the Li Jinlong you said." ”

An hour later, "Your Excellency the Governor!!" ”

Mikami Mao came to the Governor's Mansion with a nervous and excited Li Jinlong, and when he saw Umezu Mijiro, both of them were a little nervous. The empire's defeat on the Taiwan issue, the news has gone crazy these days. Some Chinese who have access to the road even smuggled out of Taiwan by boat in advance, for fear that the negotiations would fail and Taiwan would become the next place to fight.

"Yes, loyal citizens of the Empire." Umezu Mijiro walked over rarely, patted Li Jinlong on the shoulder, and said approvingly.

"Your Excellency, Governor, I am willing to follow the Great Empire forever."

Li Jinlong didn't even hesitate in his mind to say his allegiance.

He even got some information from the secret documents of the police department that the results of the Shanghai peace talks had already been achieved, and the two days would be officially announced. Some police officers are already arranging plans for the transportation and loading of valuables such as gold and silver.

However, Li Jinlong did not want to let go of his own thighs; first, when he worked in the police department before, he did not rely less on his own power, and he did a lot of hurtful things to his compatriots, and if Taiwan returned to the mainland, what would he do? Second, in his yearning, although the book was defeated, the native country was unharmed, and it was still a civilized, civilized and romantic country. Perhaps, as long as he works a little harder, not only his sons Lee Teng-hui and Lee Teng-chin can go to their own books, but they will also be able to enjoy happiness.

As for the continent across the sea, all he had was the sad memories of his childhood, the devastation and ruin, all of which made him afraid.

When teaching his son Lee Teng-hui, he said this: "Teng-hui, are you willing to go to the mainland? There is no school, no lunch, no new clothes to wear, no cherry blossoms, and your classmates will not be afraid of you because your father is no longer the section chief of the police department. ”

"No!! Dad, I'm going to go to Samoto, I like Moto, I'm going to see cherry blossoms, I'm going to learn kendo. One day, I want to be a real person. Lee Teng-hui remembered the feeling of being inferior when playing with those children of the Chinese diaspora, and although he was only less than 12 years old, he understood the difference between himself and those children who were really born in Japan.

"Okay, Daddy will let you go to Ben. Dad will be sure to get you a ticket. ”

Therefore, although Li Jinlong heard that the continent opposite was undergoing great changes, but his imagination was blank, and it was difficult for him to imagine what the continent was like today, and his intuition told him that it must be inferior to his own homeland.

For many reasons, he must completely lean towards the book.

"Mr. Li Jinlong, you are a true friend of the empire and the most loyal follower of the empire." Umezu Mijiro patted Li Jinlong on the shoulder and said in a word of approval.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your cultivation." Li Jinlong bowed down and said, "Your Excellency Governor, I am willing to sacrifice everything for the cause of the common prosperity of the empire in East Asia. ”

"Yo Xi, I heard that you have some, well, in Chinese, called like-minded friends?"

"Your Excellency Governor is really wise, our plan is to be headed by people from the Taipei Police Department, and then contact some Socialist Parties, and now the situation is unstable." What Li Jinlong didn't say was that the existence of this organization had two purposes, it would be best if he could follow Yue himself to withdraw to Yueben, and if not, the large number of people could also negotiate with the New Deal Axe in the name of Ming Cooking. Otherwise, these Han anniversaries with their bare hands will eventually be inevitably purged.

This trick was seen by Li Jinlong in a foreign newspaper confiscated by the police force. I can not only do things for myself, but also have the opportunity to become a person with a new political axe.

"Yes, you will be rewarded for your loyalty."

When Lee finally said his request, Umezu Mijiro simply agreed to him.

"Li Xiansheng, as long as you contribute to the cause of the empire's co-prosperity in East Asia, the empire will definitely reward you heavily. We will provide your child Lee Teng-hui with a ferry ticket. As for you, as long as you are able to complete the final action, in the future there will be Imperial agents to lead you back to your hometown, become citizens of the Empire, and enjoy special treatment. ”

Umezu Mijiro patted Li Jinlong on the shoulder and said in a seductive tone, "I heard that there are a lot of guns and ammunition in the warehouse of the police department, and this work of collecting and counting will be entrusted to you." ”

"This, this...... Thank you, Lord Governor!! ”

Li Jinlong was ecstatic, it seems that he also supports himself, but he actually left so many guns, and the mainland's political axe propaganda is people-oriented, if he can organize a small force, he will have the strength to dialogue with the mainland's political axe.

Umezu Mijiro secretly smiled in his heart, these stupid Chinese are very deceiving, leaving them to sabotage and obstruct the smooth recovery of China's political axe, which is really a very happy thing.

As a result of the negotiations, after the question of war reparations was transferred to the question of prisoners, this most sensitive and difficult to negotiate issue was put on hold for the time being. China's political axe was not in a hurry to get much war reparations from the war itself, and the "combined compensation clause for the defeat of the war" put forward included the following points: 1. The return of the war to Taiwan. 2. Recognize the autonomy of the Ryukyu Islands and withdraw troops from the Ryukyu Islands. 3. The permanent surname recognizes that the 15 large and small islands near the median line, such as the Diaoyu Dao and the middle line, which may be disputed, belong to the Chinese government. 4. The issue of prisoners of war will be negotiated separately in the future as part of the war reparations.

In addition to the war reparations negotiations, the nearly month-long negotiations also involved more aspects, and the greatest advantage of this was that it could bring the expatriates back to China, and at the same time, it would be able to redeem the prisoners of war in the form of reparations after a period of time. This would be a huge project involving nearly 2 million wartime immigrants and nearly 400,000 Japanese soldiers. It can be said that if the issue of overseas Chinese is not counted, these 400,000 troops are already two-thirds of the most elite troops in the country. Without these 400,000 troops, even if they wait until World War II, they will be greatly damaged.

The Chinese side, on the other hand, promised to demarcate the demarcation line between China's land forces as the Yalu River after the two sides signed an armistice agreement.

Of course, the terms of the negotiations are not public, and they also include many secret clauses, which are classified as confidential by China and the two countries, and are strictly forbidden to be made public. Overall, however, China peacefully recovered Taiwan, acquired large and small islands, including the Diaoyu Islands, and laid a solid foundation for the upcoming political referendum in the Ryukyu Islands.

On the other hand, he temporarily ended the Sino-Chinese war, saved himself from the bottomless pit, avoided losing North Korea, avoided being cut off by the sea, avoided being further counterattacked by China, and was able to spend time recovering the economy, developing the military, and accumulating strength for the next operation.

However, as soon as the negotiations ended, China's political axe announced the appointment of Huo Weiguo as the commander of the Northeast Garrison and the establishment of the Northeast Garrison Command, which would have two or three elite standing group armies stationed in the northeast in the future, thus forming an absolute local superiority over the Red Soviet Union and the Chinese army. After all, the Red Soviet Russia in the Far East was only a 100,000 'peasant' army with backward equipment and lack of training, and the troops stationed in Korea were even more pitiful. In the face of the nearly 350,000 troops of China's three group armies, it is no longer the Northeast Army of the past, and Russia does not dare to make any changes.

As the key direction of pressure, there are 100,000 soldiers along the side of the Yalu River, and once there is a change, the army will be able to cross the Yalu River overnight.

Judging from the national defense pressure faced by New China, the pressure on the entire south is much smaller, and only the pressure on the north is the greatest, one from the increasingly powerful Red Soviet Russia, and the other from the other from the country that wants to invade other countries in its dreams. If there were no heavy troops stationed in the northeast, this region, which was rich in land and densely populated with Xinjiang Province and Mongolia, would have been subject to constant disputes.

He said that his retreat was very hasty, because there was intelligence that the Chinese army in the Fujian area was likely to cross the sea in advance and go to receive Taiwan.

"Quick, Quick, Fast......"

Keelung Port was one of the most important retreat ports for the Japanese army. He sent the Third Fleet to Taiwan to escort the retreating troops and expatriates.

Taking Keelung Port as an example, the first batch to board the ship were dignitaries, the second group was the overseas Chinese, the third group was the officers and soldiers, and finally the traitors who were 'concerned about the book'. These people were also allocated tickets, but they were at the bottom of the ranking. Ben's ships were limited, and the given time to negotiate a retreat was too little. The transport fleet not only has to load people, but also wants to carry machinery and equipment, important cultural relics. All the gold, silver, jewelry, etc. were taken away.

"Wow......"

“#￥%……”

The entire Keelung Harbor was crowded with people and chaotic, and the army was carrying a 38-type rifle with bayonets, strictly guarding and maintaining order. If you don't have a pass, you don't have a ticket, and you want to break in, except for yourself, all of them will be hit with a bayonet.

There were no less than a dozen Han soldiers who died in the port, all of whom wanted to board the ship first because of their relationship with Yue, but they were killed by their own dog owners.

There are three sea ships parked in the harbor, all of which have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, but they are still too few compared to the crowds of people who are in a hurry to retreat.

"Report sir!"

A communications staff officer of the army quickly ran to the side of Umezu Mijiro, who was watching the retreat from the warship, and said anxiously: "Ten kilometers away from the cordon, a large number of Chinese warships have been discovered!" ”

"What are they going to do!!"

Umezu Mijiro suddenly tightened his nerves, do the Chinese want to repent? Continuing the war?

"Send a telegram to the military department to report the situation. The fleet was ordered to be on alert, the retreat plan was suspended, the land forces looked for cover, prepared anti-aircraft and anti-artillery shelling. ”

After quickly giving the order, Umezu Mijiro had to sit and wait for the order and the arrival of the Chinese.

Soon, he received a reply from the military department, and it turned out that half an hour earlier, China's political axe had just informed Yue Ben that there was a group of illegal armed elements intending to disrupt the normal handover of Taiwan, so China had dispatched a task force to sail through the narrow Taiwan Strait to carry out a joint alert mission.

Half an hour later, Keelung "Let them check!" ”

When he learned that the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet was just a stone's throw away, facing the inspection detachment sent by the Chinese, Umezu Mijiro waved his hand and signaled for them to check.

Of course, the result of this is that all the gold, silver, and property that has been swept away in Taiwan over the years and has not had time to be brought back will be confiscated, and no one will be allowed to be taken away except for himself and overseas Chinese.

"No gold or silver goods, factory equipment, or grain or minerals shall be loaded on ships. All Chinese are not allowed to board the ship and leave. ”

When the detachment docked with a battalion of marines in a menacing manner, the army was also dumbfounded.

The emperor [***] people, who were originally high, had to be supervised by the [***] team with guns on the side. The precious metals and belongings that had already been loaded on the ship had to be unloaded.

The original port entrance has changed from the original group of soldiers to two teams of soldiers, and the evacuation documents are checked at the same time.

"Chinese? Why do you want to run away in a panic? Take! ”

The lieutenant [***] officer headed by him just glanced at the identification certificate handed over, and with a wave of his hand, the two soldiers immediately went out of the column and escorted away. After all, the 39-year rule of Yuben has caused a large number of Han annihilation and traitors to appear in Taiwan, and this time the Ministry of National Defense's order is not to allow a single Chinese to board the ship and leave and go to Yuben.

"Our nation does not need traitors, and once the crime is verified, it will be punished as treason! If they didn't do anything to betray the nation, why did they flee to Yuben? None of those who confess a thief as a father is worthy of forgiveness. ”

This is what Zhang Shusheng said to Defense Minister Cai Yi. He knew very well that at this moment of liberation, instead of jubilantly waiting for his country's army to liberate him, he would run after himself, either to annihilate traitors or to exterminate criminals. Although New China is very tolerant of the people, it does not mean that it is also tolerant of these traitors and traitors.

Sooner or later, I will have to settle the accounts with them, but these Han traitors will have to start trial at the same time as they recover Taiwan.

What awaits them will be a people's trial.

On that day, no one knew that a child named Lee Teng-hui, an ordinary traitor, was not given the opportunity to get on the ship. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jinlong temporarily took him away and took him into the mountains with him, along with more than a thousand 'Mingzhu soldiers'.

Half a month later, in the mountains of Tainan, the bandit suppression unit of the People's Army broke through the last nest of the 'Mingzhu soldiers'. It only took 15 days for the People's Army to disintegrate these former puppet army and puppet police forces from the point when the People's Army sternly rejected the negotiation demands of these Mingzhuo fighters.

And the bandit leader Li Jinlong took his youngest son to the road of death. Li Jinlong personally shot Lee Teng-hui and then committed suicide by jumping off a cliff with him.

When Zhang Shusheng saw the news about the suicide of the bandit leader from the Hanjing newspaper that day, he was stunned for a long time, and then smiled comfortably: "It is said that dogs can't change their eating*, because they have eaten since childhood*." This Lee Teng-hui, although he is now inconspicuous, still has a pair of Han annihilation bones, and he died well, died well. ”

If you change a person, you may still feel sad for this child, Zhang Shusheng naturally knows that it is a good thing that this kind of national disaster is dead at this time, is it okay to leave him until he grows up and become a part of the '[***] Han Annihilation'?

Zhang Shusheng had heard many stories about Lee Teng-hui before, for example, he studied kendo when he was in middle school, he liked to wear Yueben clothes, and even his mother was suspicious of him, and he also asked him many times to strengthen cooperation with Taiwan. One of his famous remarks was: "Only with good management can Taiwan be prosperous." ”

This kind of goods, the more you die, the better, and the future generations have no choice but to spurn the photos in the newspaper, but I didn't expect that I could coincidentally and indirectly cause the death of this "famous [***] and separatist in this era.

In January 1934, the New Chinese People's Army landed in Taiwan and, after carrying out a necessary rectification storm, quickly calmed the situation in Taiwan and established Taiwan Province, with the governor being Chen Yunsheng, a former vice minister of the Government Affairs Yuan, who served as spokesman of the Government Council and director of the Macroeconomic Department of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Taiwan has set up a Taiwan Garrison Command, with Qiao Pusheng, former deputy commander of the 48th Division, serving as the commander of the Taiwan Garrison.
