In April 1935, two years before China's all-out war of resistance, there was an assassination attempt against puyi, the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, in Tokyo, Japan. The specifics of the matter are roughly as follows.
Puppet Manchukuo was a puppet puppet regime propped up by Japan on March 1, 1932, after the 918 Incident occupied the three northeastern provinces of China. Because neither the Nationalist government nor the international community recognized the puppet Manchukuo regime, it was called "Puppet Manchukuo".
The Manchukuo Emperor was the last emperor of China, Puyi, whose capital was located in Xinjing (present-day Changchun, Jilin Province) and whose territory included the entire territory of present-day China's three eastern provinces except Kwantung Prefecture (present-day Lushun and Dalian), as well as the cities of Mengdong and Chengde in Hebei Province.
On September 15, 1932, Nobuyoshi Muto, commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army and ambassador plenipotentiary to Manchuria, and Zheng Xiaoxu, the prime minister of puppet Manchukuo, signed the Japan-Manchuria Protocol in Changchun, and Japan officially recognized the puppet state of Manchukuo.
However, in October 1932, the General Assembly of the League of Nations issued the "Report of the Lytton Investigation Mission", which pointed out: The sovereignty of northeast China belongs to the Republic of China, Japan occupies Chinese territory and makes it independent in violation of the league of nations, and "Manchukuo" is a puppet regime organized by the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, which is not recognized by the international community.
In order to hide the eyes and ears of the people, under the arrangement of the Kwantung Army, Japan decided to arrange a visit to Japan by Puyi, the emperor of Manchukuo. In April 1935, Puyi was riding on the 35,000-ton battleship Hiei, and everywhere he went, the Japanese people waving small flags to welcome him could be seen everywhere, showing a posture of "harmony in the sun". But Puyi did not know that according to the files disclosed by Japan, on the eve of Puyi's visit to Japan, the Japanese police had just cracked an assassination plan against him.
On the night of April 14, 1935, Japanese police officers on duty in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo spotted a pedestrian with a suspicious appearance and immediately went forward to inquire.
At that time, Japan was in turmoil, and there were often dangerous people who advocated "one person, one shot to solve the problem". Groups such as the "Shokosha" and the "Blood Compact Group" have been caught endlessly, and Japanese Prime Minister Inuyasha Anduki Inuyasha and Yuyuki Hamaguchi have fallen under the gun of the assassins, and the list is still increasing. Militarism has fully mobilized some of the restless factors in the bones of the Japanese. Therefore, the suspicious person who turned around and ran immediately triggered an all-out pursuit by the police.
Under the full pursuit of the police, the prisoner was soon arrested, this person named Komi Yamaden, 22 years old, officially engaged in the role of Nichiren Film Company. The subsequent interrogation surprised the police that the unsurprising actor was actually a member of an assassination organization whose target was Puyi, the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, who was about to visit Japan.
Born in Okayama in 1913, Komi Yamanoboshi once attended university in Tokyo, dropped out of Kobe, and lived on Rayō (Japan's "Rayo" and China's Beijing Overpass handles are a little different, but of the same nature, and were also popular for a while), and later became favored by Nichiren Pictures and played roles in several films.
However, this Komiyama, who is full of pursuits of art, does not regard the actor industry as the whole of his profession. He also presided over a poetry association called "Shishin Juku" and opened a classroom dedicated to teaching unpaid young people in the neighborhood who could not afford to study.
It is precisely because of this classroom that it has attracted the attention of the Japanese police to Komiyama. They thought that doing such a laborious and unflattering thing was a suspicion of anarchist or a Communist Party, and they were very suspicious of how he could afford to run a classroom as an actor. As a result, Komiyama was once included in the surveillance of dangerous persons by the Japanese Special High School.
The Special High School investigates that komiyama's money for opening a classroom comes from his lover who works as a geisha, so it relaxes its vigilance against him, believing that he is just a right wing with a sense of social responsibility.
However, the brainless Japanese police did not expect that the "socially responsible" right wing of Komiyama is often more likely to go wrong because of his fanaticism! In fact, the "Show Heart School" he founded was actually a political association. Under the planning of him and his disciple Okajima and others, they are preparing to assassinate Puyi when he visits Tokyo.
The weapon used in the assassination was a pistol obtained by Okajima, and this time Komiyama went to Shinjuku to step on the spot, because Puyi was scheduled to pass through it in an open-top car during his visit to Japan.
According to the Japanese Treasure Island News Agency's "History of Terrorist Incidents in Japan", in the official records, the purpose of Komiyama's assassination of Puyi was that he believed that peace in East Asia was related to the friendship between China and Japan, and the existence of "Manchukuo" would undoubtedly seriously affect this relationship. Therefore, he planned to assassinate Puyi in order to disintegrate "Manchukuo" and quell the war in East Asia.
Therefore, Komiyama was easily spared by the police, did not pursue criminal responsibility, and was only considered to be "pro-China factions are troublemakers" (after World War II, Komiyama also organized a campaign of 100,000 signatures to demand the release of Japanese war criminals, which was quite active. His books for the Japanese general Hata Shunroku, who invaded China, are still sold on Amazon today.)
However, the commentary in "History of Japanese Terror" is quite insightful. For this incident, the book cites a suspicious fact: Komiyama must have weapons to assassinate Puyi. The pistol obtained by the search was obtained by Okashima from kaikkaisha (kaikaisha is the club of non-commissioned officers of the Japanese Army), which called the pistol an exhibit and was stolen by Okajima. At the same time, dozens of bullets were "stolen" from the gun. How can exhibits carry live ammunition? This is a real mystery.
At that time, there was a group of fanatical young officers in the Japanese Army who believed that the Kwantung Army's control over "Manchukuo" was not strong enough. One of the reasons for this was that Puyi, a pure Chinese was the "Emperor of Manchukuo" and could not guarantee loyalty to Japan. Their plan was to take advantage of Puyi's childlessness and force him to abdicate and give way to his younger brother Pujie.
Pu Jie is also an authentic Chinese, what is the difference between the two of them?
The difference is that Puyi has always refused to marry the Japanese side, and the Japanese side has repeatedly tried to give Puyi a Japanese princess, but Puyi has politely refused. In 1938, his younger brother Pujie finally married Saga Hiroshi, who was known as the "first beauty" of the Japanese imperial family, and the Japanese side tried to slowly change the bloodline of the "Manchukuo" royal family in this way.
In fact, both Puyi and Pujie are very wary of marriages forced by the Japanese. Pu Jie accepted the Japanese side's marriage arrangement, and he was also quite helpless.
In fact, from the family point of view, Pu Jie is a very good husband, his gentleness and cultivation, so that once tried to fight death against marriage, Saga Hao was deeply moved, even in the post-war years of no news, still insisted on waiting for him. However, politics is politics, and the brains of the Japanese military officers in the feudal era are left behind, so it is more reassuring that Pujie, who thinks that he may marry a Japanese princess.
Puyi did try to change the throne to Pujie for the Japanese army, which was quite painful, and he was frank in "The First Half of My Life", which greatly affected his brotherly feelings with Pujie who had suffered together since childhood.
Therefore, the assassination of Puyi, who got in the way, became the most direct idea of these simple-minded officers. However, they also did not want to cause trouble for the Japanese Empire, so it would undoubtedly be ideal if it was done by a "pro-Chinese faction" like Komiyama.
In this case, if you need to say that it is a gun, it is an aircraft cannon, and I am afraid that Okashima can also "steal" it from Komiyama.

Komiyama's assassination plan was not in line with Japan's national policy at the time. Due to the rise and fall of the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast, the upper echelons of the Japanese army were not willing to easily make major adjustments within the puppet Manchu regime, so as not to trigger an unstable situation. Therefore, this aborted assassination was thrown behind history.
However, Puyi did not know about this assassination at that time. He soon received a new "proposal" from the Kwantung Army: he suggested that Puyi recognize the Japanese god Amaterasu as his ancestor in order to further embody the spirit of Japanese-Manchurian cooperation. This kind of thing, Puyi can only pinch his nose and accept it "happily". What Puyi thought in his heart at that time, only he himself knew. \
