It's also strange to say that the Osaka soldiers are also wonderful, they are calculating when they are at war with the enemy, but they are very resolute in dealing with their own people, under the threat of mutiny, Kitano Kenzo, who has just been promoted to the commander of an army not long ago, was forced to agree to surrender to the Anti-Japanese Union, and became a Japanese general who "lost his reputation" because of the Osaka division, but if you think about it from another angle, he should be considered a lucky person who can save his life

The reason why the Japanese army specifically demanded surrender to the Anti-Japanese Union instead of the Soviet Army was, on the one hand, because the Anti-Japanese League had been deeply respected by the Japanese army for their arduous and outstanding fighting over the years, and on the other hand, because although the "preferential treatment of prisoners" policy of the Red Party armed forces was not necessarily as good as it claimed, it was much better than being sent to a prisoner of war camp in Siberia by the Soviet army

Although the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Federation all hate the Japanese army to the core, if the enemy surrenders voluntarily, no one will be stupid enough to refuse, even Xu Xiangqian, who is not afraid of casualties in the battle, will not let his subordinates sacrifice needlessly. What's more, relatively speaking, the Osaka soldiers were already regarded as the least harmful to the Chinese among the soldiers of the Japanese army, and out of the idea that businessmen "make money in a long way", they rarely forced the people in the area to the end of the road, although there were often things like forced buying and selling, but they were not guilty to death. Besides, in the most difficult stage of the Anti-Japanese Federation, if there were no weapons and ammunition secretly sold by the Osaka soldiers, it is difficult to say whether they could hold on to the plateau and usher in a turning point

More importantly, however, because Osaka is the most ideologically active and economically prosperous city in Japan, the cultural level of Osaka soldiers is generally higher than that of Japanese soldiers in other places, and at the same time, they are much less poisoned by militaristic ideology. The former made the Osaka soldiers more valuable after their transformation, while the latter greatly reduced the difficulty of ideological transformation, and Gao Yuan, who had already learned the essence from the old leader Hu Weidong, naturally did not waste these "superior" (Note 1) Japanese prisoners of war

There were some opinions from top to bottom of the Soviet army about the surrender of the enemy troops to the Chinese comrades instead of themselves. But in the northeast, they can't do without the help of the Anti-Japanese Federation after all; And even if the 18th Army captured Jinzhou, if there was no participation of the Soviet Far Eastern Front. It was still too reluctant to rely on the two major military regions of the Red Party to deal with the Kwantung Army, which was the strongest in the Japanese Army. Therefore, although there is some slight unhappiness between the two sides, they can generally continue to cooperate sincerely. Of course, this is also because the current Soviet army has not been like in the late stage of World War II in history, because of the large losses and everyone is stuffed into the troops, resulting in a sharp decline in military discipline. There is also a great deterrent to the Great Purge, which is still going on (the Great Purge was long since the end of World War II when the Soviet army entered the Northeast, but there were still more than 1,000 Soviet officers and soldiers who were executed for violating military discipline, if it was during the Great Purge). Therefore, it is generally quite regular, and there are not many incidents that disturb the people, otherwise with the temper of the plateau, it is inevitable that nothing unpleasant will happen.

In addition, after the Soviet Union's million-strong Red Army swept through the Kwantung Army, most of the industrial equipment and a lot of money and materials in the northeast were rolled back to the Soviet Union or simply destroyed on the grounds of "Japanese pseudo-assets", so as to prevent China from turning to the West and confronting the Soviet Union in the future (the Soviet Union was not optimistic about the Red Party at that time) and posing a greater threat to the Soviet Union with stronger industrial strength. As a result, China was worth more than $1.5 billion (about $1 billion in 1939, given that inflation was not low in all countries during World War II). Huge economic losses.

But in this time and space, because the Anti-Japanese Union is not as weak as in history and can only lead the way for the Soviet army, but a powerful military liliang that should not be underestimated, the Soviets naturally dare not mess around like this again. What's more. Historically, the Soviet Union thought that it was Chiang Lao who would unify China, so he was worried that China would turn to the West and become an enemy of the Soviet Union, but in this time and space, Stalin was worried that Lao Chiang would not be able to hold on. Although in the eyes of Stalin, who was a Georgian but on the contrary a Great Russian, even a fraternal political party could pose a threat to the Soviet Union after the reunification of China, these words could only be put in the stomach and could not be spoken, after all, the mainstream ideology of the international communist movement was still internationalism, and if he, the leader of the international communist movement, openly spoke out his heart, not only would he meaninglessly make the contradictions between the two parties and the two countries of China and the Soviet Union public, but would also cause serious ideological confusion in the international communist movement, and even problems would arise in the Soviet Union. You must know that Trotsky, who had a greater appeal than him, is not dead. Besides, the Japanese army in Harbin surrendered to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, so what reason did the Soviet army have to enter the city to receive enemy property? And having said that, unlike the Soviet Union, which was severely damaged by World War II and was in ruins, in the eyes of the Soviet Union, which is currently thriving, the backward machinery and equipment of the Japanese are actually not very attractive, especially the so-called industrial development of Harbin is only prominent in the relatively backward North Manchuria, and it is not even ranked in the top 5 if it is put in South Manchuria, so why should the Soviet Army be laughed at as a dirt bun for this little benefit?

However, for the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Federation who have been poor for many years, Harbin is already a "very large" industrial city, and because the Japanese army surrendered on its own initiative, the urban facilities and factory machinery are relatively well preserved, according to the estimation of an engineer from the North Manchurian Arsenal, if it is properly transformed, a considerable part of the industrial equipment can be converted to the production of munitions or the production of raw materials needed for munitions, and after completion, the munitions production capacity of the Northeast Military Region will surge at least five times more than the current one. At that time, if the Anti-United Nations is still dominated by light infantry as it is now, as long as there are enough soldiers, a million-strong army can be maintained

At a time when the anti-Japanese coalition was in high spirits, Japan was in a state of mourning, and it was just a matter of losing troops and abandoning cities and land, and what made them even more chilling was that the Western powers represented by the United States did not want to provide much support to Japan after discovering that Japan was so useless. Although the Americans have money, it did not fall from the sky, and seeing that the Japanese not only failed to inflict much losses on the Soviet army, but generously sent their achievements and captures again and again, if they continue to fund Japan, isn't it a brain disease?

Note 1: Hu Weidong's assessment report of Japanese prisoners of war listed Japanese prisoners of war with high value and easy to reform as superior, those with high value and difficult to reform were medium, and those with low value and easy to reform were inferior. )
