Why did Changchun, which was unknown at that time, become the capital of the puppet Manchukuo?

There are many reasons why Japan chose Changchun as the capital of Manchukuo, but the most important reason is political factors. At that time, the population of Changchun was only 6.5438+0.3 million, and there were more than 6.5438+0.00 million Japanese who could live here for a long time. The Japanese have the privilege to live here for a long time, do business, and have consulates and garrisons. It is the most powerful city of Japanese in China and an important stronghold of Japanese colonial rule. The Japanese army has strong control over all aspects of Changchun, while Feng Jun and the Soviet Union have weak political influence, which is very suitable for the Japanese army.

Land price and transportation Changchun was a city with relatively cheap land price at that time, and the price per square meter was only 50 cents 1% counterfeit money, which was lower than that of Harbin and Jilin. After the Japanese established the puppet Manchukuo here, it was more convenient for them to plunder land resources at a low price. Changchun also has a very important strategic position in transportation and is very suitable as the capital. The railway lines here extend in all directions, and after arriving in Dalian, they can also go directly to Japan by sea, which can play a strong role in Japan's military deployment and material transportation.

Resources and Urban Construction Japan believes that Changchun is also suitable to develop into a provincial capital city in terms of resources and urban construction conditions. Changchun is vast and sparsely populated, and has a very vast and fertile black land, which is very conducive to Japan's resource development and agricultural immigration here in the future, and is very suitable as a colonial stronghold. The city scale of Changchun is relatively small, and there is no burden of old city reconstruction in the future, which is conducive to future urban construction; Changchun is also rich in water resources, with Yitong River in the city and Yinma River outside the city, which provides a strong guarantee for future urban development.

Political factors, but the most important thing is that the Japanese have strong control over Changchun. Is this a tradition? Manchuria Railway Subsidiary? I have a large number of people and great influence here, and I control Changchun to a great extent. In contrast, the local Feng Jun's influence here is very weak, and the Soviet Union's political influence here is not strong, so Changchun is the first choice for the Japanese to carry out long-term colonial plans, so it was designated as the capital of the puppet Manchukuo.
