Due to the correct development strategy, coupled with the support of a large amount of funds, and the repeated defeats of the Japanese army on the battlefield of aggression against China (the worse the defeat, the higher the anti-war and war-weary sentiment in Japan, the difficulty of the Japanese Communist Party's development organization
It has continued to decline.), the Japanese Communist Party has made great progress in the past two years. By the end of 1938, the total number of party members had exceeded 100,000. In addition, due to the huge battlefield of Japan's invasion of China,
Forced to significantly expand the army due to casualties, the review was far less strict than before. The current members of the Japanese Communist Party were mainly young people. Now they just seized the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. As a result, among the 1.5 million recruits incorporated into the army by the Japanese, there were members of the Japanese Communist Party.
There are actually no less than 10,000 people, and the more recruits there are (which generally means weaker combat effectiveness), the higher the proportion of troops. Hu Weidong's layout before the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance has finally seen results...
Most of the 20,000 Japanese troops in Bengbu were such troops. Although under normal circumstances the few hundred Japanese Communists in the army could not make any waves, and they did not dare to take the initiative to cause trouble and expose themselves, but in Japan
Even in a large-scale attack, these few hundred people are enough
They deceived their 20,000 "comrades". It should be noted that even the Japanese, who have always been known for their stubbornness, will also have a sharp decline in their fighting will after recruiting too many recruits. Now there are hundreds of people taking the lead in surrendering and even secretly beating the officers with black guns. This morale
How can we still maintain it?
In addition, it is worth mentioning that during this period, Shiraishi Tomohisa, who was already resourceful, not only improved his military talents, but also deepened his understanding of communist ideas. In order to facilitate the acceptance of the Japanese, especially the Japanese soldiers, he risked certain political
Risk asked Hu Weidong whether he could use it in Japan
Part of the thoughts of Kita Ikki, who had great influence in Japan, were incorporated into it, and he used his banner to promote Japan. If it were another leader, he would definitely not agree with Shiraishi Tomohisa's whims. He might even think that Shiraishi Tomohisa is incompetent based on this.
Trust. But as a wearer with independent thinking ability, Hu Weidong
A transcendent person has a profound understanding of the series of ideas proposed by Kita Ikki at that time that far exceeded the times. He knew very well that although this controversial figure in Japanese history objectively pushed Japan to embark on the path of further aggression and expansion,
That was just used by the Japanese military. His thoughts
, especially the early thoughts themselves were actually more left-wing than the right-wing that later historians considered "public opinion". Among other things, they only opposed the emperor system (note 1), overthrew the chaebol and warlords, abolished the hierarchical system, and suppressed the differentiation of rich and poor.
These four points cannot simply be said to be right-wing conservative ideas.
Even when Kitaki was young, he believed that the implementation of socialist revolution in Japan would inevitably encounter many obstacles. It would be better to focus on the revolution in China first, and after the success of the Chinese revolution, promote the revolutionary situation throughout Asia, and then
Return to Japan to promote the revolution (at that time, the number of Japanese young people who held this idea was far more than Kitaki Ikki). This is what China can take advantage of.
For this reason, he came to China to participate in the revolution for thirteen years. However, due to the gradual rise of anti-Japanese sentiment in China and the rapid decline of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, he was completely disappointed with the prospect of China leading Asia and was forced to leave China.
After returning to Japan, my thinking also underwent a major turning point, but it still retains a considerable amount of positive and progressive content.
The same was true for the "226 Mutiny" with its ideology as its banner. Due to the failure of the mutiny, Kita Ikki's progressive ideas such as overthrowing the warlords and chaebols had no hope of being realized. The treatment and situation of Japanese officers and soldiers at the grassroots level were also not good.
What an improvement. On the contrary, the Japanese military department he wanted to overthrow consolidated and strengthened the military dictatorship. Later historians listed Kitaki as the main person responsible for Japan's further rightward shift simply because he advocated foreign expansion and centralized politics.
One, in fact
It is very unobjective, because even without this person, Japan at that time would still have embarked on the path of cruel oppression at home and aggression and expansion abroad. This is actually the same as the Soviet Union later using the so-called "public opinion" to collapse and disintegrate, but the national wealth was originally
There are many examples of bureaucrats collaborating with foreign capital to carve up everything, but the common people only suffer from it. In a centralized country, unless there is a broad-based revolution from the bottom up, the situation will always get worse and worse for the lower class people.
Oops...
Even Kita Ikki's partially degenerated later thoughts are not completely without merit in Hu Weidong's view. Take his Greater Asia doctrine for Japan's aggression and expansion. When Japan is stronger than China, it will indeed become Japan's
The theoretical basis for invading China, but as long as the strength and weakness of China and Japan are reversed, this idea will become a powerful ideological weapon for China to control Japan in the future, and China can also use it as a theoretical basis to "liberate" the West in Asia
The colony...
Of course, the obvious mistakes in Kitai's thinking still need to be resolutely discarded. For example, he promoted assassination methods but did not pay attention to mobilizing the masses. In Hu Weidong's view, these two points were the key to his ultimate failure. The Japanese Communist Party wanted to have a great power.
development, and to subvert the Japanese fascist regime from within, we must never follow his old path again.
However, although Hu Weidong felt that Bei Yihui's thoughts, especially his early thoughts, could be used, such an important matter was far from being decided by him, let alone him, or even Zhongyuan, who was now a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.
Bureau Secretary Zhang Hao did not dare to make the decision without authorization, but had to report it to the central committee for discussion.
The great man said that he could use it, but he could only use it, and not in a big way, so as not to attract attacks from the Communist International. However, this did not matter in the eyes of Hu Weidong. Anyway, he would not be stupid enough to promote this idea among the Chinese military and civilians.
, just using it to fool the Japanese devils...
Although it has been more than a year since Kitaki was executed by the Japanese government, he still has many admirers and sympathizers in Japan, especially among the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army, even the emperor is not as good as him. Therefore, Hu Weidong
After allowing the new idea of Kita Ikki to be promoted among Japanese commanders and even captured Japanese troops, it immediately received miraculous effects far beyond imagination. Later statistics showed that the 15th Army converted Japanese prisoners of war at a faster rate than before.
add
It is more than twice as fast, and the conversion rate is unprecedentedly over 50%. It should be noted that this 50% is not just obedient, but the proportion who are willing to take up arms to fight the Japanese warlords. If Hu Weidong is willing, he can even
The Japanese army expanded to more than 100,000. Of course, Hu Weidong is not that stupid. It is okay to use Japanese prisoners of war, but if it exceeds the limit that he can easily suppress, then he is playing with fire...
Note 1: When he was young, Kitaki strongly advocated the abolition of the emperor system, but later discovered that the vast majority of Japanese people were still superstitious about the emperor, so he was forced to give up this idea and instead fantasized about using the emperor's prestige to realize several other ideals.
, and it was precisely from this that he was destined to fail.
