He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (61)
“Do you think we have a chance?”
“Not at all. No, in the worst case scenario, Mongolia could fall to the Soviet Union.”
This is Yan’an, the stronghold of the Chinese Communist Party.
Communist Party Vice Chairman Liu Shaoqi and State Council Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping held secret talks.
Chairman Mao Zedong is trying to attack Shang Hang again without understanding the situation, but the Communist Party does not have the luxury of doing so now.
Would the Soviet Union, which was trying to communize Poland and Hungary, leave Mongolia alone?
When the world’s total national power is considered to be 10, liberal democratic forces account for 5, communist forces account for 3, and the rest of the countries account for 2.
So, is the communist camp worth a go at with the United States?
The United States has a strong supporter in the United Kingdom, and now there is the variable of Korea.
But the communist bloc is nothing but the Soviet Union.
Where are the countries that could help the Soviet Union?
Recently communized Eastern Europe is so poor that it would be difficult to survive without Soviet aid, and China would be in trouble without the Manchurian industrial zone that the Soviet Union ceded.
Mao Zedong, who did not understand reality, only criticized Khrushchev as a revisionist, and from the Soviet Union’s perspective, the Chinese Communist Party was like a thorn in the side.
But it is true that there are no useful allies other than the Chinese Communist Party.
The Soviet Union provided food and weapons to the Chinese Communist Party in an effort to completely communize China, but Mao Zedong defeated his 3 million-strong army in Shanghai.
What would the Soviet Union think in this situation?
Should we continue to support the Chinese Communist Party, or should we absorb Mongolia and, while we’re at it, swallow up northern China as well?
Looking at what the Chinese Communist Party is doing, the latter is the correct answer.
Knowing this reality, the Chinese Communist Party leadership is focusing on Mongolia rather than Shanghai.
The liberal camp was reluctant to engage in a head-on conflict with the Soviet Union, so they gave up on advancing north early on. Why did they set up a base in Shanghai and defend space?
Well then, the southern front will be quiet for a while.
However, Mao Zedong, who does not understand the situation, keeps talking nonsense about invading Shanghai again.
Mao Zedong had to die for the Communist Party to survive, but Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping did not dare to stage a coup.
Who is Mao Zedong?
A revolutionary who grew the People’s Liberation Army from less than 30,000 soldiers to 400,000 soldiers and stopped the unilateral rule of warlord Chiang Kai-shek.
Mao Zedong’s position in the Chinese Communist Party cannot be ignored.
If you stage a coup with half-hearted confidence, you might suffer the opposite, so whether you like it or not, you have no choice but to appease Mao Zedong.
“Please come to your senses. How can we afford to attack Shanghai now?”
“That’s right. Many soldiers have already been killed or injured, and supplies are in short supply. For now, it would be better to focus on Mongolia…”
“If you have the troops, don’t worry.”
“Where do you plan to get your troops from?”
“There are Japanese soldiers who fought against the Kuomintang in the Sino-Japanese War. We can recruit them.”
Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping were astonished.
When Japan was defeated, Japanese soldiers and their families were abandoned in China.
The number is approximately one million, and those who were killed in action in Japan are living in hiding, pretending to be Chinese, as they have nowhere to go.
That was already 10 years ago,
How are you going to find those people and use them as soldiers? Even if you find the Japanese soldiers, is there a chance that they will cooperate with the Communists?
Mao Zedong, who speaks like a dream,
Liu Shaoqi was convinced that Mao Zedong was not in his right mind.
“You want to use Japanese soldiers as military force?!! Your Majesty, you are having a strange dream right now!!”
“Yes. It’s already been 12 years since Japan’s defeat, and the Japanese people left behind in China are nowhere to be found. Are you going to use them as soldiers? That’s impossible.”
“Do you think I’m stupid? I have thoughts too!!”
Mao Zedong brought up an incident that happened in Korea five years ago.
At that time, the Korean government tried to repatriate Japanese people hiding in each region to their hometown, but when Japan refused, they accepted the Japanese people as Koreans.
The procession of surrender continued here,
At first, there were about 1,000 people, but as people hiding in various places poured out, the number of defectors reached 12,000.
If Korea is like this, how many Japanese people are hidden in China?
Moreover, they are qualitatively different from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the veterans who fought against the Chinese Nationalist Party in the Sino-Japanese War.
Mao Zedong planned to use them to capture Shanghai.
An amnesty was declared nationwide to recruit Japanese people.
[Japanese soldiers, surrender. I know you fought bravely against the puppet government led by Chiang Kai-shek. If you surrender to the Communists and capture Shanghai, I will accept you as a member of the People’s Republic of China.]
At first glance, it sounds plausible,
But no one came forward.
Word has already spread throughout the world about how many men the Chinese Communist Party has lost in Shanghai.
The bigger problem was that the Communists did not even provide their soldiers with proper weapons. Did the Japanese fight in China with spears and swords?
We should at least provide them with proper weapons and tell them to fight. This is like telling them to just go out and be bullet shields.
Besides, I’ve been living quietly for 10 years pretending to be Chinese, so why should I come now and shout ‘I’m Japanese!!’
Mao Zedong’s choice led to unexpected results.
‘Since it’s come to this, let’s go back to Japan via Shanghai.’
‘I want to go back home!! Mother!! Are you still alive?!! I haven’t seen you in 12 years!!’
‘Now is the chance. Go home!!’
The Japanese did not miss this opportunity.
Crowds of people moved silently, a whopping 700,000 Japanese people rushed toward Shanghai.
***
“The Japanese requested a return ship?”
“Yes, I asked the Korean government for help.”
“Wow~ This is an unexpected harvest.”
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I listened to the urgent news coming from Shanghai.
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army may soon invade Shanghai, and Japanese former soldiers have surrendered just in time?
Rearming them would give us an additional 100,000 troops.
The problem is that you can’t just exploit them without any conditions, they want to go back to their hometown anyway.
So I set a condition.
[It is easy to get Japanese refugees on a ship to return home. However, Shanghai is under threat from the Chinese Communist Party, and if it falls, the way back to their homeland will be cut off. If Japanese soldiers cooperate in the defense of Shanghai, the Korean government will help the Japanese return home.]
I first sent 20 ships to Shanghai.
And it was decided to move 40,000 Japanese people to Jeju Island. Japan’s society is not yet stable, so it cannot afford to accept 700,000 refugees.
So, for the time being, Korea decided to manage them.
The Japanese government also accepted Korea’s proposal.
All Japanese refugees were to be repatriated within ten years, and the Japanese refugees accepted this condition.
“We will also fight together with the Allied Forces!!”
“Give me weapons!! Those communists are nothing!!”
In this way, the Allied forces secured an additional 100,000 Japanese troops.
The moment when the criminals who once committed massacres in China became members of the Allied Forces was shocking, and thanks to Mao Zedong’s antics, the Allied Forces grew to 1.03 million.
[Even Zhuge Liang in the novel couldn’t show this kind of talent.]
[The Korean President created an army of 100,000 soldiers overnight.]
This incident turned all of China upside down.
There was a time when Zhuge Liang took 100,000 enemy arrows from the fog, but this is just a story from a novel.
But is it really true that the Korean president was able to recruit the Japanese and quickly create an army of 100,000 men?
In any case, this incident caused Mao Zedong to completely lose his mind.
“War now!! Take Shanghai!!”
“Kill all the Japanese!!”
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army advances again, with an army of 2 million men advancing toward Shanghai, but 500,000 men deserted along the way.
A large number of troops, many of whom were hastily recruited from ethnic minorities,
Would an army like this sacrifice its life for China?
The generals judged war impossible, but Mao Zedong would not permit retreat.
“Bring the heads of those Japanese bastards to me right now!! I won’t forgive that guy Park Sang-geun!! Kill all the Korean rebels too!!”
A leader who only makes impossible demands, in this situation, victory or defeat has been decided before the war even starts.

“Should I just settle down in Shanghai?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“That’s 870,000 people. We need their power to suppress the Chinese people in Shanghai.”
The same routine that repeats itself today,
I discussed at the State Council the idea of settling Japanese people in Shanghai.
Although there was an agreement with Japan to send the refugees back to their homeland within 10 years, Japan is actually reluctant to allow so many refugees to return to the mainland.
The mainland population is 70 million, so where are we going to accommodate 700,000?
I really hope that Korea will take care of it, so I have to find a way to use them to my advantage.
And if there are no jobs in Japan, what can I do when I go back? In addition, the number of Japanese people coming to Shanghai continues to increase, reaching 870,000.
With these people, it would be possible to suppress the Shanghai Chinese, but it would be impossible to control them with only 30,000 Jews.
So, they even mobilized the Japanese to control the Chinese, and the US government also turned a blind eye to this problem.
Now Shanghai is virtually a Korean controlled area.
The US and UK are now frantically trying to control the Nanjing-Wuhan area.
If even Shanghai’s 1 million people are out of control, what about Wuhan and Nanjing, where the population exceeds tens of millions?
While the Chinese army is powerless in Shanghai, the US and UK are trying to take over Nanjing and Wuhan, turning the Republic of China into a vegetative government and devouring half of the Chinese mainland.
Shanghai has long been a spoil of war for Korea, even though we never signed the treaty, so whatever I do here is up to me.
It was decided to send 40,000 people to Jeju Island as planned to show goodwill to the Japanese, and to settle the remaining 830,000 people in Shanghai.
Specific support measures were also specified.
[Japanese people can choose either to board a ship to return home or to settle in Shanghai. If they settle in Shanghai, they can receive support from the Korean government, but if they return to Japan, support is not guaranteed.]
Japanese people who were about to board the ship to return home flinched.
Since they have ears, they must have heard what the situation is in mainland Japan right now.
The Japanese people in China, who have already been treated as war dead, will they be treated as living people if they return to their hometown now?
Even if you somehow manage to settle down, making a living is a separate issue. In that case, it might be better to stay here like the Japanese who naturalized in Korea.
“Just stay there!! Don’t come here!!”
“How much discrimination do hikiagesha face in Japan!! Don’t ever come here!!”
The hikiagesha living in Japan also advised him not to return to his home country.
The 40,000 Japanese people who went to Jeju Island were hesitant to return home, saying that if they wanted to live like humans, they should just stay there.
In this way, 870,000 Japanese people fell into the hands of the Korean government.
100,000 Japanese soldiers were also absorbed into the Korean army, and the number of Korean soldiers stationed in Shanghai increased to 214,000.
Now that Shanghai could be defended by South Korea alone, and the rear had stabilized, the Allied Forces switched from holding out to taking the offensive.
Mao Zedong, taken by surprise, requested a ceasefire from the Allied Forces, but belatedly realized the reality, but the situation had already turned too quickly.
