One hundred and fifteen, Ishihara's wishful thinking

…… Puppet Emperor of Manchukuo...... Or the holy decree of Emperor Puyi of the former Qing Dynasty?

However, what are you trying to do with this thing when you are an envoy of the Japanese military? Purely to crush us?

Jin Qina looked at Yoshiko Kawashima in some surprise - in fact, she didn't care much about Yoshiko Kawashima's hand, she had heard a lot about such political blackmail in later generations, and now it was nothing big except for a little abruptness, but it made her can't help but burst out laughing.

Immediately afterwards, with Ms. Jinchina's sudden burst of clear laughter, the whole room of people couldn't help but daxiao, and some people even laughed on the spot, or quietly gave Kawashima Yoshiko a thumbs up to say "you are amazing".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hehe, the holy decree of Manchukuo? Miss Yoshiko Kawashima is really a wonderful person, I didn't expect there to be such a ......"

After reacting, Jinjina smiled and waved her hand, changed to a more comfortable position, and then said lazily as if she was instructing her subordinates, "...... That, anyway, it's something inconsequential, and I'm going to take the order, read-"

Regarding Jin China's words, Yoshiko Kawashima just pouted and did not say anything for a while. However, Lu Erxuan, who was an attachΓ©, saw that everyone in the room was actually watching a monkey show at this moment, but his face turned red, and he immediately jumped up and scolded, "...... What is your attitude, China? When you see the holy decree, you don't kneel, and you don't greet me when you see me! You wicked woman without a father and a king, I have to clean up my family today...... Alas! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Gee. The main owner hasn't even opened his mouth yet, what are you yelling at, you harlequin! ”

This guy's shouting came to an abrupt end in the next moment, because Wang Qiu, who was standing next to him, skillfully picked up a brick from his feet and smashed it on Lu Erxuan's head. Immediately, it was as if a water and land dojo had been opened in this guy's head, and gongs, drums, and suona sounded together...... Then, two powerful soldiers were ordered to step forward, carry Lu Erxuan, who was bleeding and delirious, out, and threw him in the flower bed outside the door.

At the same time, Yoshiko Kawashima didn't even glance at Lu Erxuan, who was carried out, but just smiled faintly and opened her mouth. β€œβ€¦β€¦ There is no need to recite this decree. Anyway, it is just some sycophants who praise your pure temperament and gentle and virtuous nature, and give you the title of Mrs. Yipin. It's barely a stepping stone and a meeting gift, and it's really nothing in this troubled world. If you are interested, you can read it for yourself. ”

She casually threw the bright yellow satin decree on the low table, "...... Alas. I think I should understand it. You Bolsheviks, born to eat the bowl of rebellion, how can you possibly take an outdated former Qing emperor in your eyes - even if you are the daughter of the Aixin Jueluo family......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's right, I didn't expect General Yoshiko Kawashima to have such insight, I thought that you, like Prince Ling Zunsu and other widows, were enchanted by the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, and when I saw it, I refused to kneel down to accept the order. It was like a sheep going crazy, and he was so angry that he foamed at the mouth. Scold me for being a 'thug of the poor ghost, an accomplice of Marx, a demon who does not believe in God, and will go to eighteen layers of hell after death!' ’……”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Eighteen Layers of Hell? I have also read the Bible, and I remember that there are no eighteen levels of hell for Westerners! Yoshiko Kawashima said confusedly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Who knows? Perhaps, when the hell of Europe reaches the ground of China, it will also have to follow the local customs......"

Jinchina smiled and shrugged her shoulders, shoved the decree into the hand of the little girl standing beside her, then stood up and slapped her face loudly, "...... Bang Bang Bang! All right! Comrades, don't play, don't play! The Qing Dynasty loves the character of the Xinjueluo family, and everyone has already made enough of it. Next, let Prince Su's Manchurian aunt and grandmother take a closer look, what is our Bolshevik style! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be! β€β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay! β€β€œβ€¦β€¦ Got it! ”

The people in the room stopped laughing at the same time, and then quickly packed up with tacit action--the magnificent splendid pouf and jade screen were all moved out, and the cumbersome Taishi chair and Huanghuali were also not needed, and they were pulled to the backyard together. In order to speed up the progress, even a group of Red Army soldiers who were guarding outside were called in to help, and everyone worked together to clean up the various Manchu-style "set props" one by one very quickly. At the same time, he quickly brought out other furniture and knick-knacks, and arranged and furnished them in the living room as quickly as possible.

In a short time, the whole reception room was arranged in a different shape - surrounded by sturdy and cold stainless steel tables and chairs, red curtains with golden veins hung down to the ground, small blackboards were nailed with maps of Shanghai, China, and Shijie, portraits of Marx and Engels hung on the front wall, and two red flags hung diagonally: the party flag with a sickle and hammer and the flag of the chengguan team with "iron fist and chrysanthemum all over the ground......

Jin Qina also threw off all kinds of bits and pieces on her body, took off the bulky wig on her head, took the gray trench coat handed over by others, draped it diagonally over herself, and then pulled the chair under the Scythe and Hammer Party, and sat down on the ground, "...... Whew, it still feels so relaxed...... Alright, General Yoshiko Kawashima, I think you should be down to business by nowβ€”you're not here to make a decree! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This is indeed more pleasing to the eye, and it is in line with my imagination of the Bolsheviks. After all, time will not go back, the past has become a thing of the past, and even the current Emperor of Manchukuo, Bixia, has long since stopped wearing the dragon robe crown of the former Qing Dynasty. ”

Yoshiko Kawashima nodded, then took out a letter from her bosom, "...... Madam Kim, I have been ordered to come to Shanghai on this business trip at the request of His Excellency Major General Ishihara Wanji of the Imperial Army General of Staff Headquarters, and I hope to submit to you a proposal that will be beneficial to both of us......

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

A few hours later, Lujiazui, Pudong. The headquarters of the Red Fifth Front Army, which consisted of various modern metal mobile houses.

Around the content of the Japanese army's negotiation conditions sent by Yoshiko Kawashima, everyone couldn't help but burst into bursts of cynicism.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is this Major General Ishihara Wan'er crazy? I thought that as long as I bluffed like this, I bluffed twice. Can you scare us away with empty words? ”

Fang Zhimin casually threw Ishihara's letterhead on the table, and said with a cold snort, "...... We must withdraw from Shanghai, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, and other most prosperous coastal cities in China without firing a single shot, and retreat into the relatively poor and barren inland mountainous areas. Just to exchange the verbal promise that 'the Imperial Japanese Army is willing to live in peace with the Bolsheviks in China'? Not to mention why he asked us to take the initiative to give up a large area of densely populated and rich base areas, and could it be that this Ishihara Waner thought that we were fools and would actually believe the deception and promises of the Japanese invaders? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Alas. Although such a request is absurd, if we do agree, then the Japanese will abide by the agreement. At least for a short period of time, the ceasefire between the two sides will be maintained, and any crackdowns will be acquiesced in or even assisted in our diversion efforts, such as undermining the Nationalist Government in Nanjing. Fighting together -- because for the Japanese Army, this is indeed a strategy that maximizes their interests. ”

Wang Qiu sighed. Fang Zhimin explained. β€œβ€¦β€¦ In the struggle for various interests in the Far East, there have always been irreconcilable and profound contradictions between Japanese imperialism and American and British imperialism. In order to maintain the Shili balance in the Far East, allowing the Japanese to actually control Manchuria was already the bottom line of American and British imperialism, and if the Japanese army wanted to further expand its interests in China, it would inevitably encounter a strong backlash from them.

And now, the second shijie war has not yet broken out. The rearmament of the Nazi Party in Germany was only just beginning, and Britain and France did not pose much military threat in Europe. It is entirely possible to form a powerful fleet to the Far East to 'show Liliang'.

Therefore, the short-term connivance of the European and American powers against Japan's invasion of China is only a helpless move to expel our army from Shanghai, and the goal is only to kill people with a knife, use the Japanese army to exterminate our red elements, and restore the original semi-colonial order in the Yangtze River valley...... And when the Japanese army succeeded in achieving this goal, what awaited them was not flowers and rewards, but a blow to the head - ordered to withdraw by the European and American powers!

The Japanese military must have been able to see through this mystery. Because during the last Russo-Japanese War, Japan had already suffered a similar kind of hardship. At that time, they acted as the British thugs to contain Russian expansion in the Far East, fought with the Russians in a bloody battle, spent 1.5 billion yen on military spending, killed and wounded 120,000 people, lost 16 ships, and finally won the war, but the final result was that the three northeastern provinces once again returned to the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty, and the Japanese gained only a few special rights and interests in northeast China, except for the leased land of the Liaodong Peninsula and the desolate Sakhalin Island in the southern half of China, and these rights and interests had to be deliberately managed, and they had to invest money. Otherwise, it is just written on the text of the treaty that it looks good - not even a penny of compensation has been paid. The war bonds issued on the London financial market had to be repaid in full......

On that occasion, Japan's finances were torn to the ground and its vitality was greatly damaged, and it took nearly 10 years to recover. Although the current invasion of China is going well, it is only because it has not yet gnawed hard bones for the time being. Once the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Shanghai, no matter what the victory or defeat was, the European and American powers would stab the Japanese in the back -- if the Battle of Shanghai was won, the Communist Party would be eliminated, and if it was defeated, it would curb Japan's ambitions, and no matter what it was, it would not lose money...... But for the Japanese army, which was determined to invade and annex China, it turned out that no matter how it fought, it would definitely lose......

Therefore, according to Ishihara's Jihua, after the Japanese Army successfully entered Nanjing and reorganized a pro-Japanese Nationalist government, the next step was not to follow the baton of the European and American powers and fight to the death against our Red Fifth Front Army in order to restore the interests of American and British imperialism in Shanghai. Instead, he took advantage of this rare strategic window period to launch a new round of offensive in North China again, completely eliminating or forcing the landing of Song Zheyuan's anti-Japanese forces; At the same time, Han Fuqu in Shandong and Yan Xishan in Shanxi were lured by political means, so as to truly connect the vast Japanese occupation zone from Tianjin to Nanjing.

Otherwise, no matter how many victories the Japanese army has achieved in Jiangnan, the foundation will be unstable. Once the European and American powers turn their faces and come to a multinational joint intervention, the Japanese can only give up the fruits of victory with grievances and gamble on the national fortune to fight the whole Shijie. Make a difficult choice.

However, the problem is that it is impossible for the Japanese army not to attack Shanghai at all during this period, so it will not be able to give an account to the European and American powers that have sacrificed some of their interests in China and connived at the Japanese invasion of China. And the complete defeat of the Red Army is also not a good thing. Because this means that the Japanese army is about to be 'killed by cunning rabbits and cooked by lackeys'!

Therefore, in order to prevent themselves from being crossed over the river and demolishing bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys, and striving to maximize the interests of the Japanese Empire, and at the same time to put the European and American powers on the same page, according to Ishihara's strategy, the Japanese army on the southern front should try to force the Red Army to take the initiative to withdraw from Shanghai and give an explanation to the European and American powers. But at the same time, you shouldn't actively seek to kill the enemy. On the contrary, we must maintain our own dignity, try to preserve the survival of the Red Army, and even sit idly by and watch the 'Red Scourge' spread in South China, which this guy wants us to march westward. While occupying Jiangxi, Hunan, and western Fujian, it is necessary to maintain sufficient military pressure while avoiding the big coastal cities -- so as to create a reason for the invading Japanese army to remain in love with China for a long time and buy time for the expansion of North China.

Specifically. In the coming period. The Japanese army's war in the south was only for the American and British imperialists, and there was no need to take it too seriously, just pretend. And the expansion in the north is one step at a time, and every inch of land seized is truly their own -- the only trouble is that the Japanese army wants to play a drama on the battlefield south of the Yangtze River, and they must cooperate with us, otherwise if the fake becomes true, the war will be out of control as soon as it begins. No matter what you do, it will be a dead letter. Therefore, there is this envoy and ventilation of Yoshiko Kawashima......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Alas! So it seems. Ishihara's little abacus is really one step at a time to see ten steps, and he is shrewd enough! But the only question is - who does he think he is? We, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Weishenme, want to cooperate with the actions of the Japanese aggressors? ”

After listening to this analysis, General Su Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "...... Of course, the European and American powers are not a good thing, but Japanese imperialism is the mortal enemy of our Chinese! Why is he so confident that he thinks we will obediently follow his baton? ”

In this regard, Wang Qiu only shrugged his shoulders -- thinking about things too much is already an old problem of the Japanese, and he has never changed it.

-- Generally speaking, in the vast majority of history, Japan's top decision-making level was a group of people who took it for granted -- there was no way, because the solidification of Japan's social class and the hereditary nature of the ruling class led to the fact that a large number of people who lacked practical experience and were completely unqualified in terms of education and quality easily climbed to the top of the Japanese government.

In this way, some of the strange behaviors of the Japanese government cannot be understood by normal people's thinking at all in many cases, otherwise there will be a feeling that the brain has been hit. MacArthur once commented after coming to Japan that Japan is just a child who does not grow up -- that is, one of the "middle two diseases". There are also people who condense the "Showa War History" of the Japanese Empire for more than ten years into such a unique sentence: On the combat effectiveness of bear children!

In short, Japan in the era of militarism was a fierce bear child, and it always liked to "pre-formulate" the stance and reaction of other countries completely according to its own assumptions, and when other countries "did not act according to the script," they would feel extremely aggrieved. -- During the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the decision-makers of the Japanese Empire always thought that "as long as they succeed in striking at the American mainland, the American people, who feel threatened, will force the US government to sit down and negotiate with Japan...... However, he did not think at all that his provocative approach would make Americans more supportive of the government's efforts to win the Pacific War. At the end of World War II, Japan still ignored that the Soviet Union had long been one of the three major allies, and wishfully believed that the Soviet Union would be willing to mediate for it, one of the reasons was that "Stalin had a big belly like Saigo Takamori, and he must be a good man who values love and righteousness, and will definitely help Japan"!

-- Since even this kind of bizarre logic, which is stunning, can be an important basis for the Japanese cabinet to decide on national policy, then the current plan of Major General Ishihara Waner to manipulate the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army for his own use is naturally not too outrageous in the eyes of the Japanese.

What's more, judging from Ishihara's point of view, the Red Army currently entrenched in Shanghai really had a reason to be forced to cooperate with the Japanese army's actions......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ahem, I'm probably able to guess one or two of them about Ishihara's outrageous self-confidence......"

Facing everyone's inquiring eyes, Wang Qiu took out a note from his arms and put it in the center of the conference table, "...... This is an urgent telegram just sent from the front line in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, that the siege troops of our army were suddenly attacked by a foreign fleet at a long distance during the battle, and the siege operations suffered a serious setback, and they were no longer able to complete the scheduled combat mission...... Judging by the intercepted wireless telegraphy content, this should be the US Pacific Fleet! ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, "...... The joint intervention of the imperialist powers has really begun! (To be continued......)
