Yang Ziren and the others were stunned to find that he was respected and welcomed in Manchuria that he could not enjoy in the Soviet area! It's the New Year, and the whole of Manchuria, except for some special departments, the rest of the departments are on holiday.

Products from Yan Zhengqing to Yang Yuting and other bigwigs in charge of the three eastern provinces rarely relaxed, and they were gathering and drinking at Yan Zhengqing's house today. Tu Qianjun brought Yang Ziren and them with him.

For the first time, Yang Ziren and them joined this kind of banquet with extremely high specifications for the three eastern provinces, and this banquet even came with Yang Zengxin, who is now in charge of Xinjiang government affairs! The puppet-like four horses naturally did not come, and they did not hold the real political power like Yang Zengxin now.

The banquet was arranged in the dining room of Yan Zhengqing's house, where three tables were set up. Yan Zhengqing, who studied under the imperial kitchen, made two large tables of dishes in one go!

Unlike the Imperial Banquet, there are no particularly valuable ingredients in these dishes. Basically, they are made with ingredients that can be found in the market in Manchuria. Therefore, this birthday feast is precious but not precious.

The wine that came up was roughly the specialty wine of several places, Qinghai barley wine, Inner Mongolia's mare's milk wine, Yili's liquor and the local burning knife of the three eastern provinces!

The comrades who had just seen these tables with Yang Ziren still had some contempt in their hearts, thinking that this was too extravagant! Seeing the performance of the comrades, Yang Ziren smiled bitterly and explained quietly, and they were dumbfounded!

Now beef and mutton is basically not a rare thing in the entire three eastern provinces, and Mongolian truckloads of trains are sent to the three eastern provinces. Pork and more, due to the stability of the economy, the living standards of the entire three eastern provinces are directly higher than those in the Guannai!

With wages, selling grain, pigs or pulling carts, and working in factories, ordinary people in the three eastern provinces basically have no problem eating meat.

People in the disaster area are also provided with meat and vegetables even after receiving food and seeds! It is procured by the provincial government in Mongolia, sent back, slaughtered, and then sent to various places by rail.

Soybeans and other crops that were rushed to be planted in the disaster area have gradually entered the harvest season, and they are purchased by the three provincial governments in the east! With cash payment, most of the people in the three eastern provinces have received a piece of the ocean.

If you have money in your hand, the New Year is naturally unambiguous! Large slices of pork are bought at home, and New Year's goods are purchased in piles and piles! Even extravagant firecrackers were bought quite a bit. The entire three eastern provinces are immersed in a piece of joy!

The large-scale reduction and exemption of agricultural tax burden has made the people thoroughly understand what it means to have a luxurious New Year! And at the same time, because I have money in my hand, this year is very comfortable!

The same is true of business, the vacant market after the families who originally monopolized the entire three eastern provinces were forced out made countless small and medium-sized businessmen full! This year has also been extremely rich!

A wine feast. Nothing was discussed. They didn't even talk about their respective political beliefs, but mostly talked about what they had seen and heard in their respective places, grassroots inspections, and their own experiences.

Yang Ziren and they were not left out in the cold, on the contrary, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai also came forward to toast! For this young director of the Agricultural Production Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he really did a good job!

Not long after I arrived in the three eastern provinces, I have already adapted to the way the data structure works in the three eastern provinces. Recently, the resettlement and spread of the agricultural environment have all been handled by the director of the Agricultural Production Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!

The agricultural production plan, which was still a little chaotic, gradually became orderly, and you must know that it was Yuan Jinkai, the chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the three eastern provinces, who originally focused on agriculture.

First, Yuan Jinkai didn't have much experience in the peasant association, and he was an old showman who was not used to dealing with the "mud legs" in his subconscious opinion. So a lot of things were delayed.

Yang Ziren has no such concerns, he was originally from a peasant family. It's not good to be familiar with all kinds of farm work. Closer, understand the situation he is very familiar with. It's a perfect fit to do!

Both sides think and do things differently, which leads to different results. And Yang Ziren put the entire agricultural Dali in order, which also made the bigwigs of the three eastern provinces look at each other differently.

In fact, they more or less knew Yang Ziren's identity, but under the influence of Tu Qianjun, they did not regard red as a flood beast like Zhang Zuolin. In their opinion, it is basically okay to do things and not do things.

For example, the current Nanjing government in the three eastern provinces is also in the department, but basically those who do not do anything have been driven back for various reasons. Some honest people who are doing things have stayed.

"I said it! The interests of the country and the nation are above all political beliefs and ideologies! Since they are all working hard for the country and the nation, why should we exclude them?! Tu Qianjun once set the tone for the internal debate on this matter: "Don't do anything." Fuck off! It doesn't matter what he believes in or what ideology he has! ”

"As long as he is sincere and sincere in doing things for the people and bringing benefits to the people, this is good! What bullshit, political beliefs, ideologies are all false! The common people took the benefits. That's the way it is! ”

Tu Qianjun's words set the tone for all the debates. At the same time, it also set the tone for the political attitude of the three eastern provinces! In hindsight, this is really a sharp statement!

Indeed, isn't it better to put it bluntly for the common people to live a better life? ! Since it's all about this goal, is it really that important to have political beliefs?! As long as the people really get the benefits, then these goals have been achieved.

After the meal, everyone dispersed with laughter. Yang Ziren and a group of them were arranged into a uniformly planned dormitory. The one who dragged the family over and arranged it was a suite.

There is nothing to do in this New Year. So Yang Ziren took these newly arrived comrades to inspect various places in the three eastern provinces and took them to familiarize themselves with the situation.

After all, the identity of the arrangement is the director of the agricultural production department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the three eastern provinces. The new comrades were naturally also subordinate to him. So familiarity with the work is still needed.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival has passed. The work of the various government departments in the three eastern provinces has begun to recover, and the undercurrent in Japan, which is not far away, is constantly surging!

......The maple leaves in the wind are constantly swaying. In the room, the non-commissioned officers in yellow Japanese uniforms were silent.

The protagonists of their meeting were officers such as Ichiro Hirata and Isamu Honda.

In fact. The meeting was attended by children from poor families, who had no money to study and only attended tuition-free military schools, and even the fiancée of Honda Yong, one of them, was forced to sell herself for a living. Although Hondo had told her before that she hoped to share any difficulties, she refused.

Life forced her to do something like this. This led to Hondo scolding her after finding out. And his fiancée later committed suicide in shame.

"Should we do this?! This would cause a lot of turmoil, and the soldiers might not want to......" said a non-commissioned officer named Saito with his head bowed.

"You don't understand the thoughts of children from poor families!!" Ichiro Hirata said angrily: "In April last year, Mizoguchi, a soldier of the Sendai Wing, shot and killed a superior officer in order to rescue his sister Ah Xun, who was sold into a brothel because of poverty, and was sentenced to death. Keisuke Miyagi, the captain of the wing, failed to defend him, and handed over the 1,000 yen he had borrowed to Azuk! ”

"But what about the army?! They're a**! Ichiro Hirata took a deep breath and said in a deep voice to everyone: "When the Manchurian Incident occurred, when the Aomori Fifth Wing returned the bones of the war dead. In order to get a pension, the families of the war dead staged a battle for the bones in front of the barracks! What kind of country has this country become?! ”

"Only by eradicating corrupt officials can we achieve the "Showa Restoration" and build a new Japan! Honda Yong looked at the rest of the non-commissioned officers and said coldly: "For this reason, I myself will not give up!" Even if you don't want to, then I'm going to do it alone!! ”

"Listen to me, the emperor does not want the people to suffer like this, and he is a privileged faction around him. Conceal from him the suffering of the people and the true national conditions. Sakai said in a deep voice, "I believe that the people can understand us!" Believe. Everyone will support us ......"

Ando was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then said slowly: "I don't want to affect my wing, the soldiers are always innocent......"

Before Ando's words were finished, Tanaka Takeshi's "Smack!" A piece of paper was thrown out! Seeing the contents of this piece of paper, Ando's face suddenly turned pale!

This is the promotional paper of a sales talk center in the countryside of Tohoku, Japan! And the so-called talk house is actually a brothel!

"Do the soldiers who died tragically in Manchuria and face each other know that their families and sisters are now living by selling their lives?!" Tanaka looked at Ando and said coldly: "We have to do something after all, if we don't do anything, we won't have a chance!" ”

Ando couldn't help but fall into silence when he heard this, he didn't know the current situation. In fact, he knows better than anyone else!

After World War I, the markets of the European powers gradually recovered, and Japan had a better time.

However, the economic bubble during the war period burst, and in 1919 (Taisho 8), the Japanese economy turned into a super-state. The "Yonedo Rebellion", triggered by the arrival of troops in Siberia to hoard military rations, which caused the price of rice in the market to soar, was an uprising with unprecedented scope, scale, and violence in modern Japanese history!

The constitutionalism since the early years of Taisho did not provide the most basic protection for the Japanese people at the bottom, and the Great Depression in the 30s seriously damaged the Japanese economy, and the situation was even more serious than anyone expected!

Destitute peasants in rural eastern Japan even had to sell their daughters in exchange for a sack of rice; Girls from the countryside rush to the big city to be wandering girls, so that they can have enough to eat. Even the college-educated middle class is unemployed!

The Great Kanto Earthquake, which occurred once in a century, caused the Japanese people's mental endurance to reach a state of near collapse......

This is also one of the reasons why Japan did not continue to act after the Kwantung Army was annihilated by Tu Qianjun: they really had a big crisis of their own and had no time to take care of it.

North Korea too. The frenzied attack of the Tu San Cannon actually caused a lot of shock in the army! But the damage caused by the economic crisis made it impossible for Japan to fight a war at all. Therefore, the military department has been clamoring for war, while the cabinet has prevented it.

"We're pressed for time!" Tanaka looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I have received the news that those bastards of the control faction are ready to transfer us all to North Korea!" The time has been set, just at the end of February! Gentlemen. If we continue to sit still, then the empire is about to be destroyed! ”

"Are we just going to leave Japan behind and die in a foreign land?!"

Everyone was silent, and after a long time, Ando of the Third Wing said to everyone, "Since that's the case, then let's prepare......

The crowd below was ecstatic when they heard this! The reason why they gathered today is to convince Ando of the 3rd Wing to join them! Carry out this "Showa Restoration" operation in their hearts!

The 3rd Wing of the 1st Guards Division, which Ando is in charge of, has always been known for its strong combat effectiveness and cohesion! If they are involved, the chances of success will increase!

Originally, this would have happened in 1937. However, since Japan did not occupy Manchuria. And with heavy losses in the DPRK! This led to the continuous increase of domestic contradictions, and the hardships of Japan, which had lost its strategic location and even the privileges of Manchuria, became even more difficult.

This catalyzed the assassination of political discontent, and at the same time brought many things forward in the crisis!

At this time, Manchuria was busy, but Tu Qianjun smelled a hint of difference in the air! Jin Jiu quietly visited Tu Qianjun. The commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht was silent.

After a long time, he summoned the top commanders of the three armed services, including Su Zongzhe, chief of the general staff, Chen Haihua, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Air Force, and Shen Honglie, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Navy.

In order not to leak information, this secret meeting was held in a small meeting of the Wehrmacht Command.

"Jin Jiu just sent me a message!" Looking at these heavy generals, Tu Qianjun said heavily: "Great changes are about to take place in Japan, and we have no way of knowing what this great change will bring. You all have to be prepared, we may face war! ”

Tu Qianjun's words made the hearts of these three veterans sink uncontrollably, Manchuria is now a period of great development that takes time! The process of building and modernizing the armed forces is changing with each passing day!

The Navy was equipped with battleships. The army is gradually equipped with new tanks, heavy machine guns, etc.! The Air Force's ME109 is in the test flight phase and will be equipped by mid-year at the latest!

The outbreak of war in such a situation will undoubtedly interrupt the pace of modernization of the Wehrmacht!

"Commander, what the hell is going on?!" After being silent for a while, Su Zongzhe said to Tu Qianjun: "If it's just an assassination, Japan will do it almost several times a year. It's not that serious......"

Tu Qianjun smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said to Su Zongzhe: "This time the situation is different, according to Jin Jiu's news, what they carried out this time was a mutiny!" Previously, their assassination was nothing more than an assassination of a maximum of dozens of people. This time they actually greeted the soldiers! In other words, the situation is likely to escalate......"

Gather the soldiers?! Everyone couldn't help but gasp, no wonder Tu Qianjun was so cautious! I am afraid that this is really a big change in Japan, and if they succeed, it may lead to the radicals coming to power.

The radicals will undoubtedly wage war – they have always hated the cabinet's concessional gestures in Manchuria and Korea. If they come to power, they will definitely start a war!

At least, that's what Su Zongzhen and they see. But Tu Qianjun knew better that the chances of success in this mutiny were very small. The biggest crisis is when the subsequent rulers come to power!

After the integration of the Japanese Army, there is no doubt that the war will be waged! That is, the Wehrmacht may well face the strongest military attack from Japan!

This is completely different from the previous Kwantung Army and Korean garrisons. If Japan mobilizes, organizes, then the troops they can dispatch will be amazing! The expansion of the reserves can even reach as many as a million!

Coupled with their modern industrial process, there is no doubt that they can arm these troops!

At the same time, those warlords in the country did not dare to count on Tu Qianjun, if Japan chose to land and attack Han Fuyu from Shandong and other places, it would definitely not be able to stop!

They advanced from Shandong, and then flanked with North Korea in the Shanhaiguan area, and Manchuria was in danger!

"Everyone go back and prepare...... Tu Qianjun looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I need you to work out a complete set of coordinated response strategies for all branches of the military, how should we respond to the Japanese army once they attack......

Su Zongzhen and the others nodded silently, and the short meeting dispersed immediately.

Snow. It's bigger! Looking at the children giggling on the street, Tu Qianjun fell into silence. Perhaps, this is their only relaxation. Regardless of whether the Japanese army will take action against Manchuria this time, it is inevitable that Japan will enter a stage where the unification faction will take power.

That is, the pace of the war will be accelerated! The peace will be broken, but I don't know how those old men in Nanjing will choose......

At this time. Nanjing State Mansion.

Jiang Zhongzheng, who was back in power, swallowed the entire Nineteenth Route Army in one go, and he was full of ambition! And Wang Zhaoming, who lost the 19th Route Army, was several years old all of a sudden, and without the army, he basically lost the capital to compete with Jiang Zhongzheng.

In this era, the army is fundamental. Otherwise, everything is illusory, even if it has great political influence, but without the support of the army, all this is just a castle in the air.

"The red bandits are now entrenched in eastern Fujian and southern Jiangnan, and their arrogance is extremely arrogant!" At the military meeting of the national government, Jiang Zhongzheng's face was full of red light! He said in a deep voice to the military and political dignitaries below: "For the sake of the party and the state, these people must be annihilated!" It's going to be cleaned up, and I didn't have my hands and feet free before! This time, we're steady! Strive to kill it in one battle! ”

"Oh?! Could it be that our encirclement and suppression were released before?! Why are the red bandits fighting bigger and bigger?! Wang Zhaoming, the premier, sneered and said, "We haven't attacked the red bandits before!" But they all failed, who should be responsible for this?! (To be continued)
