, representative of the Chinese government
Formally filed a complaint with the League of Nations against Japan's barbaric aggression in northeast China, hoping that the international community would give a fair ruling.
Kijuro Kasuhara
Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan
Later recalled: The Chinese side immediately filed a complaint with the League of Nations about the incident and began to attack Japan. The representative of Japan knew nothing about the matter and could not respond to anything. Empty-handed, waiting for a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

, discuss the unprecedented deterioration of the Northeast. The two most powerful people in the country were already in a mess, and they could not come up with any way to stop the deterioration of the northeast, but to put the treasure on the League of Nations.
Although the northeast at this time had China's most advanced equipment, the best equipped army and arsenal, but out of superstition about the League of Nations, they pressed the fate of the northeast to the League of Nations."
Wise, impartial and authoritative
above. Many have great hope for this largest international organization, as if the League of Nations could do anything but have children. How pathetic!!!
September 30, 1931
, the Council of the League of Nations reached a resolution,
The unconditional withdrawal of Japanese troops within two weeks was limited
, to restore the status quo ante before September 18. The Japanese government accepted it and swore an oath:
Japan had no territorial ambitions for Manchuria; the Japanese forces in Manchuria were only moving to protect the lives and property of their citizens; and the Japanese army would immediately begin to retreat back into the railroad dependencies.
Japanese officials also dressed up in extremely innocent guise, claiming that their military actions were self-defense measures that had to be taken under threat from China.
Yan Huiqing
In the case of the Northeast, the representatives of the great powers of the League of Nations in Geneva did not think of it as a war from the beginning, which was exactly what the Japanese wanted from the beginning. Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China in Geneva
Others were shocked to see the extremely cautious and timid behavior of the representatives of these great powers.
Lytton
On December 10, 1931, the Executive Yuan of the League of Nations made a decision to send a mission of inquiry to the Far East to investigate the truth of the conflict between China and Japan.
In January 1932, a 5-member investigative mission was formed by British Sir Lytton. Gu Weijun, former Chinese foreign minister, and Yoshida, Japan's ambassador to Turkey, coordinated the mission's investigative activities.

At the end of February 1932, the League of Nations investigation team first went to Japan and then to the northeast to meet puyi.
Gu Weijun
Representative of Japan to China
His work was interfered with, first he was not allowed to go to the northeast, and then his communications and movements were strictly restricted, and even no means of transportation were provided. The Japanese side also forbade people in the northeast to meet with the investigation team, and people from all walks of life in the northeast had to risk their lives to meet the members of the investigation team. The mission received thousands of letters exposing the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in the northeast. The head of the investigation, Lytton, was vague.
October 1932
The report on the investigation of the League of Nations drafted by the investigation team was officially published, sprinkled with 100,000 words, and finally put forward the propositions of "Manchurian autonomy" and international co-management in northeast China. This fallacious report was accepted by the National Government.
January 1933
The League of Nations finally passed
Report of the Special Congress of the League of Nations on the Sino-Japanese Controversy
Its content is basically the same as that of Lytton's report, but it clearly points out the fact that Japan launched the "918" incident, and demands that the Japanese army withdraw and return to the state before the incident.
The demands of the League of Nations are not binding on Japan at all, and in the Sino-Japanese conflict, the League of Nations has shown a fundamental flaw, and it has no practical ability to maintain international peace.
Unfortunately, the National Government never understood this.
We are an invincible and invincible heroic Chinese nation, and there are countless people in this land who can sing and cry.
We must, and must be able to – remember history, never forget national shame, remember martyrs, cherish peace, and create the future!
