The Henan Puppet Provincial Public Office is the highest ruling body supported by Japan to rule the occupied area of Henan,and it has been ruling for more than 7years.During this period,the Puppet-Provincial Public Office established a comprehensive departmental organization system,and established various levels of pseudo-government,with jurisdiction over more than 40 counties in eastern and northern Henan.The Puppet-Provincial Office,as the "emerging regime" in the occupied area,is actively working to rectify the ruling order.Its purpose is not only to provide a stable rear base for Japan's invasion of China,but also to ensure the long-term rule of the Japanese puppets.In order to restore local order,the Puppet-Provincial Office made the construction of the staff as the first priority.After the establishment of the Puppet-Provincial Office,it actively recruited employees of the original national government to fill the vacancies of the "new regime".As the Japanese puppet rule continued to stabilize,the Puppet-Provincial Office tried to introduce various regulations to bring the management of public officials into "regular".However,Puppet-organizations at all levels are arbitrary blocking the "employee power" of the Puppet-Provincial Office.Puppet-organizations also generally have the phenomenon of "lucky advancement" and "appointment of relatives".The various staff management systems of the pseudo-provincial office only remain in the file.Because the pseudo-staff is the basic force for governing the occupied area,the salary and benefits are paid close attention to by the pseudo-government.The Puppet-Provincial office gave them various allowances and allowances.However,with the rising prices and shortage of resources in the enemy-occupied areas,the lives of pseudo-staff became very difficult.Coupled with the indoctrination of Japanese puppets and the control of words and deeds,the lives of pseudo-staff experienced a process from relatively comfortable to very difficult.The armed forces are an important rely on the Puppet-Provincial Office to maintain the ruling order.The armed forces of the Puppet-Provincial Office aremainly composed of police,garrison and local self-defense regiment.After the emergence of the modern police,the role of the police in maintaining order has continued to increase.On the basis of inheriting the rule of the original national government,the Puppet-Provincial Office continued to strengthen the support and utilization of the police.Through the rectification of the Puppet-Provincial Office,the role of the police in maintaining law and order in the occupied area has been strengthened,and to cope with the Japanese invasion of China,"special agents" and "intelligence" have become the main tasks of the grassroots police.The security team is mainly responsible for crusade and security tasks.Through the adaptation and training of the Puppet-Provincial Office,the security team became an important force to assist the Japanese invading China.However,because there is no special financial appropriation for the funds of the security forces,it has led to unreasonable increase in apportionment and increased the burden on the people.The local armed groups that are widespread in the occupied areas have also been adapted by the Puppet-Provincial Office in the form of "self-defense groups." The establishment of the "Self-Defense Corps" has enhanced the ability of the Puppet-government to suppress the Communist Party and defend itself,but a large number of low-quality local armed income Puppet-governments,rampant domineering and bullying the people in the name of "government officials",also shaken the rule of the Japanese and Puppet basis.Because the occupied area of Henan used to be an important battlefield of the Sino-Japanese War,the infrastructure was severely damaged,and the impact of the flood and drought locust disaster,the society in the occupied area was in chaos,and the order needed to be repaired urgently.Therefore,while strengthening its own ruling ability,the Puppet-Provincial Public Office has also continuously increased the construction and control of the social,economic,and ideological fields in the occupied area.First of all,the Puppet-Provincial Public Office managed disasters in the enemy-occupied areas by setting up disaster relief agencies,funding for food,and building embankments.Affected by insufficient money and poor implementation,the Puppet-government disaster relief failed.In order to restore the ruling order,the Puppet-Provincial Office also carried out repairs to infrastructure,such as buildingwarehouses,restoring factories,and building roads.However,when the Puppet-Provincial Public Office carried out social construction,various measures are not well implemented.Apart from the success of the Japanese invasion of China,other measures were mostly superficial articles.In the construction of prison administration related to social security,although the Puppet-Provincial Office has formulated various construction measures,during the implementation of the policy,the grassroots administrators procrastinated and caused various measures to be formalized,and prison construction is lacking.Secondly,because the occupied area was used by the Japanese as a resource supply base,the Puppet-Provincial Office was heavily influenced by the Japanese invasion strategy when implementing economic control.In the economic field,the Puppet-Provincial Office mainly cooperated with the Japanese invasion of China to implement an economic blockade,military looting,and labor export.The various economic measures of the Puppet-Provincial Office are completely dominated by the Japanese strategy and provide resource support for the Japanese invasion of China.Moreover,in order to increase fiscal revenue,the Puppet-Provincial Office even disregarded the facts of severe disasters and exhausted resources in the occupied areas,and took advantage of tax collection and issued various tax payment rules to instruct the pseudo-organs at all levels to intensify the call for payment,create names,and make random allocations.Under the economic control of the Puppet-Provincial Office,the economy of the occupied area fell to the brink of collapse.Thirdly,in terms of thinking,the Puppet-Provincial Office aims to establish the authority of the Japanese-Puppet regime and strengthen the ideological control of the people.Under the guidance of the Japanese strategy,the Puppet-Provincial Office on the one hand strengthened the political propaganda of "anti-communism and anti-Jiang" and "counter Britain and the United States" to guide the direction of public opinion,on the other hand,through the education in Japan and compulsory Japanese language learning,instilling pro-Japan ideas.The Puppet-Provincial Office also strengthened people's recognition of the "legitimacy" of the Japanese puppet rule by rectifying school education and strengthening religious control,and established an ideological atmosphere to assist Japan's invasion of China.In short,the Puppet-Henan Provincial Public Office has strengthened various fields in order to maintain the "long-term security" of its controlled area.However,the administration of the puppet-government has always been dominated by Japanese policies,and all its purposes are for the interests of Japan's invasion of China.In addition,the puppet-political regime is filled with all kinds of things such as power struggle,profit-making reforms,and perfunctory laziness.Finally,with the defeat of the Japanese invasion of China,the rule of the Puppet-Provincial Office also came to an end.
