Chapter 19 Japan withdraws from the League of Nations

The well-known Chinese newspaperman Ge Gongzhen once gave a very painful description of the evolution of the situation after the "September 18th" Incident.He said: "With Zhang Xueliang who didn't resist, only the fluke success of the Zhuang Fan; only when the government hesitated and waited, was the establishment of the puppet state. The status of the Japanese was strengthened day by day, and our country's opportunities were missed day by day. In the past It was Japan who wanted to compromise with China, and now it is China that wants to compromise with Japan; in the past, Japan was fighting for power with China, but now China is fighting for power with Japan; The national theory!"

In 1932, Yasuya Uchida, who left the post of "President of Manchurian Railway" to become Japan's foreign minister, stated in the Imperial Diet of Japan that Japan would never give up "Manchuria" even if the Japanese archipelago was reduced to scorched earth. On October 2, 1932, the investigation team of the League of Nations published its findings, denying the reason for the establishment of Manchukuo and demanding that everything return to the situation before the "September 18th" Incident.However, the results of the investigation by the League of Nations aroused outrage in Japan, and they condemned the interference of the League of Nations in Japan's internal affairs. On February 21, 1933, the League of Nations voted 41 to 1 (1 for Japan) to pass a resolution requiring Japan to withdraw its troops from the Northeast.However, Yosuke Matsuoka, the representative of Japan, left the stage with a smile after the vote, announcing Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations, which stunned the representatives of the participating countries.After Matsuoka Yosuke returned to China, he was welcomed by enthusiastic Japanese citizens. The Japanese media also praised Matsuoka for "good job" and "spine".The great success of the Japanese army's military adventure in Northeast heralds the beginning of catastrophe in China, East Asia and even the world.The Japanese Empire has embarked on a path of no return against world peace.
