This extremely noble guest was no one else, but the crown prince Hirohito of Japan.

Hirohito was the eldest son of Emperor Taisho, the patient with meningitis. At the end of last year, Emperor Taisho's body became weaker and weaker. Coupled with his neurotic personality and an easily furious temper, as the highest head of state who mastered a country, he was no longer suitable for governing the country.

Hirohito, who just turned 20, was different from his father, and he received rigorous training from the generals of the Navy and Army. In the eyes of his subjects, Hirohito was a crown prince with a strong personality, a resolute and extremely intelligent personality. Compared with his crazy father, he was more like his grandfather - the famous Emperor Meiji in modern Japanese history. In their opinion, only Hirohito is the hope for the future of the Japanese empire.

Hirohito himself believed that when he ascended the throne of the Emperor, he would inevitably lead Hiro to create an era that was more glorious than his grandfather, Emperor Meiji. So at the end of the 9th year of Taisho, that is, at the end of 1920, he tried his best to convince his mother, Empress Seunghye, to set off from Hiroshi after the 10th year of Taisho to visit Europe.

During this visit, Hirohito's main purpose was to formally visit European countries as the crown prince, and at the same time enhance his status as the next emperor in the hearts of the people. In addition to these, he also had a reason that few people knew, that is, when Hirohito completed his visit and returned to China, he would officially be regent in the name of the crown prince to assist his "sick" Emperor Taisho to take over the national affairs.

Okamura Yasuji is a loyal fan of Prince Hirohito. He was extremely dissatisfied with the current Emperor Kazuhito long before the local war between China and Japan, especially the losses suffered by Japan in the local war between China and Japan. In his opinion, it was completely a serious mistake made by Emperor Taisho as a national leader. Come, the outbreak of the European war. This will be a great opportunity for Japan. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Allies and allies fighting in full swing, Japan's power can further develop its mainland policies through expansion in Asia, especially China.

But such a good opportunity was wasted. First, he responded slowly to the Chinese government's acceptance of Qingdao. Then, due to Emperor Taisho's whim, the highest commander of the Japanese army died in a humiliating manner. Then, before the Sino-Japanese battle for Jiaodong and Fengtian began, the army and the navy quarreled. Both sides did their own things, and eventually laid the consequences of failure.

With so many things, if Emperor Taisho could perform his duties as the head of state, such as Emperor Meiji's reign, the army and the navy were united, this would never have been the result. At that time, Okamura Yasuji had returned to Japan due to the failure of the Chinese mission, but he was resentful of Emperor Taisho's mistakes in national policy. He even acted like a non-committee when there was no one after drinking - cursing Emperor Taisho as an idiot.

Because of this, like most Japanese, Okamura Yasuji placed his hopes on the smart and capable Crown Prince Hirohito. To put it bluntly, in Okamura Yasuji's heart, he hoped that Emperor Taisho would die as soon as possible, and the crown prince Hirohito ascend the throne and lead the Japanese to regain glory.

This time, when the Crown Prince Hirohito visited Europe, Okamura Yasuji raised his hands to agree. Moreover, because the Crown Prince's first stop was Kanto Prefecture, this made Okamura Yasuji even more excited. He even began to look forward to the scene of being received by the Crown Prince.

Okamura Yasuji's plan was very successful. During the negotiations with Fupai International, Waichsky promised that he would not carry out the so-called "export revolution" against the Japanese government and its overseas leaders. At the same time, Japan will provide certain support for Fupai International's activities in various regions of Asia with the focus of the special high school courses. The two sides will work closely on a certain basis.

Of course, Okamura Yasuji is not a fool, and he will not be satisfied by just a promise. This private partnership, let alone an oral agreement, would be like even if there is a formal agreement? He agreed with a Western proverb, that is, the signing of the contract was used to tear it down from the beginning. Japan left Asia and entered Europe after the Meiji Restoration, and regarded this as the truth, and the Japanese did this.

In the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 (called the Japanese-Jinian War) and the Russo-Japanese War after that, the Japanese used this trick to conceal the world and achieved victory, and had already practiced perfectly. Since this was the case, he did not believe that the Soviets, who were no less shameless than him, would keep their promises. Moreover, for Okamura Yasuji, who was familiar with the Bolsheviks, how could such a guy who had no king or father, who could betray the so-called ideals and revolutions, could even be trusted by the closest people?

Two cunning and mutually guarded people came together temporarily. On the surface, both sides now seem to have a tacit understanding of newly married couples, but everyone knows in their hearts that this honeymoon is only short-lived. Once the situation changes, when the interests of both parties are touched, the alliance will naturally be destroyed.

But at least, friends are still standing hand in hand now. While preparing for it, Okamura Yasuji still created many conveniences for Wojchensky, especially when he used Japan-domestic relations to win over the revolutionaries who fell apart after Sun's death, and used them to turn to the Bolsheviks' arms, which was also an important part of his plan.

It is impossible to admit that the Bolsheviks were able to succeed in the Tsarist revolution, oustsar, and even almost seize all power. They did have a way of doing this. And fanatical revolutionaries like Chen Shaobai were more likely to be confused by that theory. Just a few days later, Chen Shaobai and Woyichensky had a fierce fight, and they were already communicating with each other. Even Xu Tongxiong, who was skeptical at the beginning, held the book day and night and read it attentively day and night, and even proposed to go to the holy land of revolution, Moscow to learn what the real revolution is.

A week before the Crown Prince Hirohito was about to travel, Chen Shaobai, who had officially joined the Bolshevik International and became the first member of the Chinese Bolshevik Party, and his comrades Wojcisky and Xu Tongxiong boarded the passenger ship south together. According to Wojcisky, revolution is not only a theory, but also a practical action. If you want to liberate the working people all over the world and take on the responsibility of saving the people in dire straits, as a revolutionary, you must spread the spark of revolution to all directions.

Woychensky's statement was recognized by Chen Shaobai. With like-minded comrades, he believed that Sun's unfinished revolution would be successful in his own hands. According to Xu Tongxiong's suggestion, the most convenient thing was to go north from Kanto Prefecture to Fengtian, and to promote the revolutionary concepts based on the three northeastern provinces, and find more comrades to unite. However, this suggestion was eventually denied by Chen Shaobai. Taking into account the personnel structure and particularity of the Northeast, and coupled with the reminder of Suzuki Satoichi, he finally set his target in southeast China, that is, Guangdong and Fujian.

This choice, first of all, Chen Shaobai is from the south and is familiar with it. Secondly, the atmosphere in the south is open, the education level is high, and it is easier to accept new things. I think the revolution led by Sun was also initiated from the south, which is enough to show that the south has a revolutionary foundation. Of course, there is another place more suitable, that is, Shanghai, called the Pearl of the Orient. However, after the Wang Yaqiao case, Shanghai is no longer suitable for them to appear. For safety reasons, they decided to go to Hong Kong first, and then go north from Hong Kong to Guangdong.
