In the modern history of China, there has been a very humiliating history. Facing the powerful ships and cannons of the Western powers, China has lost power and humiliated the country time and time again, and gradually fell into the dark abyss of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.
Among the many countries that bully us, Tsarist Russia occupies the largest territory of our country, reaching 1.5 million square kilometers of land. Japan has done the most harm to China, not only causing tens of millions of casualties to our military and civilians, but also almost causing China to be exterminated.
Many people may know that the Japanese once established the puppet Manchukuo in Northeast China, hoping to achieve the goal of occupying China by "using China to control China".
What is little known is that in addition to supporting the puppet Manchukuo forces in the Northeast, the Japanese also launched a "puffer fish" plan in an attempt to unite pro-Japanese Jews to establish a country in Northeast China and carve up China's territory. So, if this plan had succeeded, what impact would it have had on China? Let’s take a look together!
1. The puffer fish plan conspired by the Japanese and the Jews
For a long time, anti-Semitism has been very prevalent in Europe. Whether it is the British, French, Germans, or Tsarist Russia, they all hate the Jews and want to eradicate them. In order to find their own living space, the Jews colluded with the enemies of these countries and formed an alliance.
In 1904, the Russo-Japanese War broke out in Northeast China. This dog-eat-dog war caused huge damage to both sides of the war and China.
In order to oppose Tsarist Russia, the Jews decided to stand with the Japanese. There was a wealthy Jewish man in the American financial circle named Jacob Schiff. He supported Japan in large quantities during the Russo-Japanese War, leaving a good impression on both sides, and the exchanges between the two sides increased day by day.
The Japanese believe that they can rely on the economic strength of the Jews to help them realize their dream of dominating the entire East Asia and even the world. The Jews believe that they can help the Japanese to fight against the anti-Semitic forces in Europe.
Therefore, for a long time, Japan has received a lot of support from the Jews, not only financial support, but also material support, as well as international relations support, which allowed Japan to accelerate the pace of occupying the entire China after the end of the Russo-Japanese War.
At the same time, Zionism emerged among the Jews, and soon gathered a large number of believers who were eager to establish a Jewish state and realize a true " national rejuvenation ".
In view of the good relationship between Japan and the Jews, coupled with Puyi 's various uncooperation after becoming the emperor of the Puppet Manchukuo, Japan had the idea of letting the Jews replace the Puppet Manchukuo in the Northeast.
Therefore, the two sides hit it off immediately and had a plan to establish a Jewish state in Northeast China. A large number of Jews came to Northeast China to invest and set up factories. On the one hand, they helped Japan better occupy and develop the Northeast, and on the other hand, they also laid a solid foundation for their own country.
In Japan, relevant personnel call this plan the "Puffer Fish Plan". The Japanese believe that although puffer fish is poisonous, it tastes very delicious. This is the same as helping the Jews to establish a country in the Northeast. Although it seems a bit dangerous, the benefits are quite obvious.
2. The specific implementation process of the puffer fish plan
In 1922, Two Japanese military officers who participated in the Soviet-Russian Civil War, Yasue Nobuhiro and Inuzuka Yui, returned to Japan and brought back the "Protocols of the Magi" they discovered in Siberia. The two were obsessed with this book, believing it to be the future and direction of saving the Yamato clan in Japan.
For this reason, in addition to searching for Jewish culture in the Middle East , the two also tried their best to promote everything about Jews in the country, especially asking the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to pay more attention to Jewish-related activities in Japan, which can bring many benefits to Japan.
In view of the selfless help of the Jews to Japan during the Russo-Japanese War, everyone in Japan at that time had very beautiful illusions about the Jews and considered them to be their true allies.
On the eve of the September 18th Incident, Yasue Senhiro and Inuzuka Weishige came to the Northeast together and became a member of the Kwantung Army. Together with Seishiro Itagaki and Kanji Ishihara, they were eager to expand in the Northeast and even invaded the entire Northeast and Northeast Asia.
However, under the influence of the Great Depression, Japan at this time could not spend so much money to support the fantasies of these people. As a result, the puffer fish project was pushed to the forefront and received support from many high-level officials in Japan.
From this time on, the Japanese began to lobby Jews to invest in the Northeast and supported Jews in establishing settlements in and outside Harbin.
After several rounds of talks, the two sides finally reached an agreement in 1938. Jews began to move to Northeast China in large numbers, and Jewish communities in cities such as Harbin gradually grew in size.
The Jews also declared for this: "We enjoy racial equality and justice under the laws of the country and will cooperate with Japan and Manchukuo to establish a new order in Asia. We ask for help from those who share our religious beliefs to be treated equally "
However, due to various reasons, the hope of Jewish capital to help the Japanese industrialize in the Northeast eventually collapsed, and the Jewish attempt to establish a Jewish state in the Northeast also died due to strong opposition from the Chinese and people around the world.
With the complete failure of the Japanese in World War II , the puffer fish plan finally failed completely. The Jewish investment in the Northeast was ultimately in vain, and they had to return to the Middle East to start their own nation-building plan.
3. The harm of the puffer fish plan to China
Once the puffer fish plan is implemented, a nation completely different from China will be entrenched in the northeast of China for a long time and become a major problem. A China that has lost its northeast is not a complete China, and it will cause great damage to China's territorial integrity.
At the same time, the extreme religious ideas of the Jews cannot tolerate any outsiders. Once the Jews establish their country in the Northeast, the Chinese people born and raised in the Northeast will be devastated. It is very likely that their families will be destroyed, and their wives and children will be separated. At that time, tens of millions of Chinese compatriots will have to leave their homes and look for a way out elsewhere, bringing instability to themselves and the entire country.
Secondly, Jews are notoriously unsympathetic and profit-seeking. They ignore the fact that the Chinese have helped the Jews and repay kindness with hatred, ultimately destroying the fragile and delicate relationship between the Chinese and the Jews.
Finally, the Jews are a wandering people. The biggest characteristic of the wandering people is that they like to burn, kill, and loot, and do all kinds of evil. Let the Jew establish a country in the Northeast, just like a cruel enemy sleeping on his pillow, and he may suffer disaster at any time!
