This book draws on a large number of archives about Manchukuo's participation in the creation of the Puppet Manchukuo State, including the original records of Manchukuo Railway personnel planning to establish the puppet regime of the Puppet Manchukuo State, as well as the original documents and telegrams drafted for the Puppet Manchukuo State. It proposes that the creation of the Puppet Manchukuo State is not a simple matter of Puyi and others taking office. It is closely related to the invaders' siege of cities and territories, collusion and contradictions with surrender factions, and the internal differences and unification process of the invaders. In this process, Mantetsu is not in a supporting role. Giving such a political positioning to Manchuria's aggressive behavior is not intended to share the responsibility for aggression, but to overcome the long-standing one-sided tendency in Sino-Japanese historical research to emphasize military and political affairs over other aspects.

Over the years, the author has collected and sorted out the historical materials of the Volunteer Army, and has mastered a number of precious archives and documents that remain of several large-scale anti-Japanese armed groups in the three provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning. The author comprehensively uses these original historical materials to analyze and understand the issue of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army in the historical torrent of China's Anti-Japanese War and the anti-Japanese national salvation, in order to clarify the nature, status and role of the Volunteer Army in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, to promote the great national spirit of "unity and struggle" of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, and to contribute to the study of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army issue.
