After the September 18, 1931 Incident, Japan invaded and occupied Northeast China and established the puppet state of Manchukuo. Subsequently, the German king established the "Mongolian Union Autonomous Government" under the support of Japan, which carried out barbaric plundering of local resources and property.
In Eastern Jidong, the leader of the "Jidong Defense Communist Autonomous Government" was the traitor Yin Rugeng, which was also the first puppet regime established by Japan in Guannei.
After the July 7 Incident, Japan's all-out war of aggression against China began, and Japan successively established a number of puppet regimes, first in North China
The pseudo-"Provisional Government of the Republic of China" headed by Wang Kemin, former finance minister of the Beiyang Government.
After the Japanese occupied Nanjing, Liang Hongzhi, a beiyang widow, organized a pseudo-"Republic of China Restoration Government" in Nanjing, and served as the puppet chief executive, betraying the country and defecting to the enemy.
Of course, there was also the pseudo-Nanjing Nationalist government formed in March 1940 by the traitor Wang Jingwei.
Japan's purpose is also to establish a unified puppet regime in view of the war situation, on the one hand, to encompass the large and small pseudo-regimes previously established, so as to facilitate unified command. On the other hand, it is hoped to disintegrate China's anti-Japanese united front, and even set aside Chiang Kai-shek to carry out political inducements against China's upper echelons.
Japan used these puppet regimes to act as accomplices in bullying the Chinese people and incurred a heavy blood debt. whereas
Among these puppet regimes, the one that resisted Japan the most was Wang Jingwei's puppet regime.
Because Wang Jingwei was a kuomintang elder, he had great prestige in the party. His surrender led to the surrender of a large number of unstable elements in the Kuomintang and also induced a large number of Nationalist government troops.
The Japanese also want to emulate the puppet state of Manchukuo, hoping that the Puppet regime will also be recognized internationally. So who else but Japan recognized the Wang puppet regime at that time?
We know that after the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo, Japan was deliberately striving for international space, and 23 countries in the world recognized it, although most of them were Japanese allies and puppet states established by the Axis powers.
After the establishment of the Wang puppet regime, Japan once again repeated the same old tricks, and the Wang puppet regime was inferior to the puppet Manchukuo in winning diplomatic recognition.
But the diplomatic space of the Wang puppet is narrower than that of the puppet Manchukuo.
This was because the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China was in Chongqing, the only legitimate government at that time, and although Nanjing had fallen, the government was still there, and the Nanjing government was still a member of the anti-fascist alliance.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Wang puppet regime to gain international universal recognition.
However, this so-called "Wang puppet national government" has even been recognized by 11 countries in the world.
Of course, this is not surprising, the people who recognize the Wang puppet regime are all allies of Japan.
Among them were the puppet governments established by Germany and Japan in Eurasia.
