After she became the daughter of a vicious warlord, she cleaned herself up

Chapter 206 Puppet Regime

"Baga! Where did these damn photos come from?!"

In the Prime Minister's residence in Saikyo, Japan, Konoe Fumio slammed a newspaper on the table, his eyebrows almost burned with anger.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, there is great pressure from international public opinion right now. Western countries have all lodged solemn protests against our country..." Foreign Minister Hirota Koki lowered his head and reported tremblingly.

"Protest? What's the point of protesting? Do they dare to go to war with our Great Japanese Empire just for China?!"

Konoe Fumi was furious, but deep down he was feeling a little uneasy.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, although Western countries have not yet taken any substantive actions against our country..."

"But they have begun to impose economic sanctions on our country and have frozen our overseas assets..." Hirota Koki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued speaking with gritted teeth.

"What?!" Konoe Fumio's face changed. Economic sanctions and asset freezes are undoubtedly a fatal blow to Japan, which is in a state of war.

"Baga! These cowards are just doing tricks behind my back!"

Konoe Fumimi roared in frustration, but he had to admit that Japan today could not afford the consequences of a full-scale war with the Western countries.

"Mr. Prime Minister, what should we do now?" Hirota Koki asked cautiously.

"What should we do? Of course we should stabilize them first!"

Jinwei Wenmi suppressed his anger, rolled his eyes, and a sinister plan emerged in his mind.

"Pass the order down, and have that old man Matsui Iwane immediately stop all his unfriendly actions against the people in Jinling City."

"Tell the outside world that all previous actions were aimed at protecting the safety of local residents and maintaining peace in East Asia..." Konoe Fumi said sinisterly, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth.

"In addition, establish a new Jinling Municipal Government and find a few Chinese puppet officials to manage Jinling's daily affairs..." Konoe Fumi paused and continued.

"Hi!" Hirota Koki nodded quickly in response. He knew that the Prime Minister was going to adopt a conciliatory policy to temporarily calm the anger of international public opinion.

"Humph, a bunch of stupid foreigners, do you really think we will let those Chinese go so easily?"

Jinwei Wenmi looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and a sinister and vicious light flashed in his eyes.

"When we find the right time, we will make those Chinese and those meddling Westerners pay a heavy price sooner or later!"

So, on January 1938, 1, the Japanese formally established a new municipal government in Jinling, namely the Jinling Autonomous Committee.

Those puppet officials who had defected to Japan began to control Nanjing's municipal administration, finance, social welfare, police, commerce, and transportation affairs under the manipulation of the Japanese army.

They helped the Japanese army maintain the so-called "stable order" in Nanjing, and were actually accomplices and tools of Japan's rule over Nanjing.

Jiang Shiyuan was now completely certain that the history of the Nanjing Massacre had been completely rewritten by himself and the people of Nanjing City.

Now the Japanese pirates had to put on a mask of hypocrisy, adopt a policy of appeasement, and gradually establish a puppet Japanese regime in Nanjing.

She knew that her historical mission of coming to Jinling this time had been perfectly accomplished.

Next, Jiang Shiyuan had to return to the battlefield in Shanghai immediately.

Her identity as a Japanese spy should be officially activated soon.

At the same time, the Jinling Safety Zone and other small safety zones were gradually disbanded, and the people of Jinling returned to their ruined homes.

With the feeling of surviving a disaster, they work hard to rebuild their homes together with their families.

They always firmly believed that as long as they were still alive, they could start all over again and wait until the day when they drove the Japanese back home!

Jiang Shiyuan bid farewell to his grandfather who had decided to live permanently in the headquarters of Qing Yu Tang, bid farewell to Instructor Shen and the Twelve Beauties, and set out on the journey back to Shanghai through the secret passage of Purple Mountain.

"What a bullshit Autonomous Committee! To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than a puppet of you Japanese pirates!"

In the city of Jinling, an old man in ragged clothes yelled at the fake police who came to post notices.

"Watch your mouth, old man!"

"Now Nanjing is ruled by the Imperial Army. If you know what's best for you, go home!"

The fake policeman glared at the old man fiercely and hit the wall heavily with the baton in his hand.

"The Imperial Army? Bah! A bunch of bandits, are you worthy of being called the Imperial Army?!"

The old man was not afraid at all and spat at the feet of the fake policeman.

"You..." The fake policeman suddenly became furious and raised his baton to hit someone.

"stop!"

A cold voice came from outside the crowd.

An officer in Japanese military uniform walked slowly towards them, surrounded by a group of Japanese soldiers.

He was tall, with a face full of flesh, and a pair of hawk-like eyes that flashed with sinister and vicious light.

"It's General Matsui!"

Someone in the crowd recognized the newcomer and was immediately frightened into silence.

Matsui Iwane, commander of the Japanese Central China Front Army, was one of the main culprits in the capture of Nanjing.

This time he came to Nanjing in person to inspect the effectiveness of the implementation of the "appeasement policy".

"General, this old guy..." The fake policeman ran to Matsui Iwane with a nod and a bow, pointing at the old man and complaining.

"Enough!" Matsui Iwane waved his hand impatiently, his eyes swept over the people around him, and a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"From today on, all citizens of Jinling must hold a good citizen certificate in order to live and work normally."

"Anyone without a good citizen certificate will be considered a spy and killed without mercy!"

Matsui Iwane's voice was icy cold, like a demon from hell, making people shudder.

"Good citizen certificate?"

The people looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and fear.

"What is a good citizen certificate?"

“Why do you want to do this?”

"Will you really be killed if you don't have a good citizen certificate?"

Various discussions were heard in low voices among the crowd.

"Humph, a bunch of stupid Chinese!"

Matsui Iwane looked at the panicked people in front of him, his heart filled with contempt and disdain.

"The good citizen certificate is a tool used to distinguish between you obedient citizens and those who resist!"

"As long as you are obedient and honest, we, the Great Japanese Empire, will naturally guarantee your safety and interests."

"But if you dare to resist, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Matsui Iwane's voice exploded over Jinling City like thunder.

The people were silent, knowing that what awaited them would be an even darker and more terrifying future...
