Fang Xinshan looked at Fang Lang, who had a thoughtful expression on his face, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and said quickly:
"Lang'er, you can't be confused!"
Fang Lang looked at Fang Xinshan and smiled:
"Dad, don't worry! I'm thinking about how to squeeze money out of the traitors! Some big traitors are very wealthy! Don't think they can just walk away from the crimes they committed in their hometown."
In Fang Lang's impression, the real big traitors all had considerable wealth, but given the nature of the Kuomintang government, these people's wealth should have been drained long ago.
Some big traitors had even reached a deal with the Kuomintang officials before the Japanese surrendered, and transformed themselves into Kuomintang officials.
It would never be Fang Lang's turn to pick up the spoils. Most of the so-called traitors who were sold like pigs should be small traitors who were dependent on the big traitors.
After considering it again and again, Fang Lang still felt that he could not simply condemn everyone with one blow. He had to differentiate these people and treat them according to different policies.
Therefore, he laid down three principles:
...
...
First, all the traitors who were responsible for the bloody crimes would have all their property confiscated and would be sunk into the sea.
Second, all traitors who have not committed any murder but whose wealth is obtained through illegal means will have all their property confiscated and will be sent to Brazil for ten to twenty years of labor reform.
Third, there was no bloodshed and no property, just ordinary people who were traitors and vassals. After being transported to Brazil, they were subjected to three to five years of labor reform.
As for the ideological education work during the labor reform period, it will also be unremitting, and everyone must be made aware of the unforgivable crimes they have committed against the country and the nation.
Let them live with a mindset of atonement and become examples for other people.
We must make it clear to everyone that if they do something that is against the country and the nation, they will not escape punishment even if they go abroad.
Further strengthen the immigrants' sense of national identity.
After Fang Lang expressed his idea, Fang Xinshan thought about it for a long time before expressing his agreement and calling Fang Xinshui back.
While returning to the base from the dock, Fang Lang was still thinking that most of these puppet soldiers had been incorporated by the National Army. Wouldn't these National Army soldiers be sent here directly in batches?
Then the number of national troops will be significantly reduced! Will my immigration actions indirectly accelerate the demise of the national government?
However, Fang Lang did not want to accept too many traitors. If that happened, all the Chinese in Brazil would be dominated by traitors. What would that be?
As Fang Lang thought about it, he felt that he should give priority to building schools among immigrants. While training their work skills, he should also firmly grasp their ideological trends and strengthen their national consciousness.
There must never be another creature like a traitor.
Of course, Fang Lang also knew that he couldn't completely eliminate it.
However, Brazil, an environment where one is unfamiliar with the place and cannot speak the language, is actually very suitable for Fang Lang to carry out ideological education.
After returning to the base, Fang Lang had no time to rest. He had to seize the time and transport the wealth away.
At the same time, he also needs to pay close attention to the political situation in Brazil. After all, he knows that the new presidential election is coming soon.
The current Brazilian President Vargas is a dictator who came to power through a coup.
Although he is also learning American-style democracy, he is the only one who can be chosen in a democratic election.
Unfortunately, he overestimated his status in the hearts of the Brazilian people, and as soon as the election began, the situation began to get out of his control.
When he saw that the situation was not going well, President Vargas began to use his power to manipulate the election, trying to make his newly formed Labor Party win directly.
This behavior immediately aroused dissatisfaction among other domestic parties and the expeditionary soldiers who had just withdrawn from Italy to Brazil.
After all, these soldiers were trained in the United States for two years and were exposed to American-style democratic ideas.
What happened next happened naturally and logically.
Of course, Fang Lang learned all these things through the communication with his friends in Brazil over this period of time.
Fang Lang, who came from the future, knew that President Vargas would be overthrown by the military in October, but he was not clear about the specific time and reason.
However, when he was in the expeditionary force, he had already seen clues from some things in the army.
When the close associates of President Vargas were gradually marginalized within the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, which was personally formed by President Vargas against all odds, it was clear that the Brazilian Expeditionary Force was no longer the expeditionary force loyal to President Vargas.
Given Fang Lang's current status, he has no choice but to keep an eye on the domestic political situation.
Today he finally got a name from Colonel Teach of the Rio de Janeiro Naval Base - Eurico Gaspar Dutra.
Minister of the Brazilian Expeditionary Army, currently also holds the rank of Major General.
Recently, the Brazilian Social Democratic Party and the Brazilian Workers' Party have begun to frequently contact General Dutra because of the obstruction of democratic elections.
Judging from the information Fang Lang has collected so far, this person should be the one who launched the coup and overthrew Vargas.
It is not known whether President Vargas is too confident or does not pay enough attention to intelligence work. Now even Fang Lang, who is on an expedition to Japan, has seen the tension in the political situation.
Vargas, sitting on the presidential throne, is still confident that he can actually manipulate the election and continue to be re-elected.
It can only be said that several years of re-election and the constitution specially promulgated for the purpose of maintaining his dictatorship have indeed paralyzed Vargas's nerves.
In fact, these things were not surprising to Fang Lang. After all, he knew the history. What really surprised Fang Lang was the information Colonel Teach revealed to Fang Lang about the Japanese immigrants in Brazil.
The fact that Fang Lang destroyed a Japanese spy organization in Sao Paulo was known to almost all of Fang Lang's friends.
As Fang Lang's friends, they generally began to have a critical and cautious attitude towards Japanese Brazilians.
Especially after the expeditionary force participated in the Pacific battlefield, people in Brazil, especially the military, began to be wary of Japanese-Brazilians.
Colonel Teach was also paying close attention to the movements of the Japanese in Rio de Janeiro. After Japan announced its surrender, Colonel Teach discovered that the Japanese-language newspapers in Brazil had published several very fantastic news stories for several consecutive days.
Fang Lang now thought of Colonel Teach's teasing tone and felt a little amused:
"Hey... Fang, you know what? The Japanese newspapers in Brazil have published some important news. Do you want to take a look? I have the newspapers here!"
Fang Lang didn't understand what kind of important news could be in Japan at this time, and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"Oh! I'm in Japan now! I haven't heard of any big news!"
As a result, Colonel Teach burst into laughter and couldn't stop.
Fang Lang was afraid that she would laugh until she almost choked. It took a while before he heard Colonel Teach say:
"Don't you know? The Japanese newspaper in Brazil said, 'Japan used the atomic bomb with amazing destructive power to destroy the British and American coalition forces.'
"Japan's atomic bomb attack on the U.S. mainland caused more than 30 million American deaths and injuries."
"The Soviet Union and China surrendered unconditionally, MacArthur became a prisoner, Japan occupied Hawaii, the United States surrendered, and the president was appointed by the Japanese",
This is big news! Aren’t you in Japan? You don’t even know this?”
This kind of news refreshed Fang Lang's worldview. It seemed like a fairy tale and unbelievable.
He even suspected that Colonel Teach was joking with him.
"Are you serious? Do you want to switch to writing novels?"
"Haha... Fang, I don't have such imagination. These are all published in the Japanese newspapers. If you don't believe me, I'll send you a few newspapers to see."
Hearing Colonel Teach's confident tone, Fang Lang had to believe it even if he didn't want to.
“So how does the government deal with it?”
"What else can we do? Seize the newspapers and arrest the rumormongers. But these Japanese believed them even more, and even thought we were spreading false propaganda to deliberately undermine their fighting spirit.
They even organized a grand celebration, which made me doubt for a while that the news of Japan's surrender I received was false.
If you weren't in Japan right now, I would have believed them."
This is also full of magical realism. But Fang Lang knew it in his heart.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the Japanese in Brazil. It has something to do with their living environment in Brazil.
Except for a few wealthy people who owned plantations, most Japanese immigrants were hired farmers or engaged in low-level jobs such as laundry. Most of them did not understand Portuguese and hardly communicated with local Brazilians. The Japanese circle was the only group they had contact with.
As Brazil joined the Allied camp, Japan withdrew all its diplomats and Japanese companies' resident employees, including Brazilian Ambassador Ishigami Ichiro. The Brazilian government also began to restrict the activities of Japanese Brazilians and even forced them to use Portuguese.
Japanese expatriates in Brazil have almost lost contact with their homeland. Knowing nothing about news from their homeland, they feel isolated from the world.
The Japanese began to huddle together for warmth, especially after the São Paulo city government took a series of blockade measures because it suspected the Japanese of engaging in espionage activities, which made the Japanese collectively panic-stricken.
At this time, their only source of information was Japanese newspapers. They did not understand Portuguese, and most of them lived in two different worlds in the same country as ordinary Brazilians.
The Japanese newspapers told them that Japan had won, so they naturally believed it and started celebrating wildly.
There are even some fanatics who have begun to advocate that Japanese in Brazil should take the initiative to contribute to and provide help to their homeland.
Therefore, in July 1945, the Japanese in Brazil established the Chendao League to "support Japan's war and insist on victory in the war." The number of members soon expanded to nearly 120,000.
Almost all the Japanese have joined in, which makes the Brazilian government very vigilant. Major Blackwell's intelligence agency is now focusing on these crazy Japanese.
Fang Lang learned more from Major Blackwell. According to Major Blackwell's intelligence, the Japanese Chendao Alliance has now developed differences and has begun to attack each other.
The reason for the disagreement was naturally that some Japanese who could speak Portuguese learned through Brazilian newspapers and radio stations that Japan had actually surrendered.
These people spread the news among the Japanese, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chendao Alliance, which insisted that Japan would win. Therefore, the Chendao Alliance quickly split into the winners and losers.
Historically, the Japanese in Brazil belonged to different groups and had constant conflicts. There were many terrorist attacks between them, and casualties occurred frequently.
It was not until 1973 that three Japanese immigrants, dubbed the "final winning group" by the Brazilian media, flew back to Japan after decades away.
Looking at Japan, which is in a period of rapid economic development and extremely prosperous, they said to the large number of reporters who came to watch:
"Look, Japan is so prosperous. We obviously won the war."
This farce finally came to an end.
