Respectfully

Capital

In front of the Japanese embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane, a black car stopped, and two short men stepped out of the car, one of them was wearing a foreign suit, the other was wearing a Japanese kimono, and a Japanese military officer greeted him from the embassy.

"Your Excellency Aoki, Your Excellency Sakanishi, and Your Excellency the Minister are waiting for you two."

At the same time, another black car slowly drove over, and there were four middle-aged men in black bunts sitting in the car.In the back seat, a man with a scarred face looked out the window and said, "Virgin, the one in western clothes is Rihachiro Sakanishi, the one who greeted him was Shigeru Honjo, as for the other..."

"That's also a big fish." The chief of the third branch of the Intelligence Bureau who personally carried out the assassination mission sneered, "I didn't expect to get a lot of rewards this time, and I could catch this big fish by the way. It's worth it!"

"Big fish?"

"That person is Nobujun Aoki, and Sakanishi's qualifications are not as old as his." The chief of the third department patted the front seat, "Remember, throw the bomb before shooting when you go out later, and all the bullets will be fired!"

"Yes!"

The two people in the front seat took out black cloth towels and tied them on their faces, and pulled the bolt of the gun.

"Besides, don't forget what I told you."

"Don't worry, Virgo."

The driver agreed, while the other person in the front seat looked out the window coldly.

With a "hands-on", the car door was opened at the same time. Before Banxi and others entered the gate of the embassy, ​​several bombs fell from the sky. In the sound of the explosion, not only Banxi and others, but also the guards in front of the embassy and several embassy workers nearby. All personnel have suffered.

The sharp whistle sounded, and the guards stationed in the legation began to gather. The four of them fired all the bullets in their guns and shouted: "Long live the Korean Empire! Long live the king!"

After shouting, he was supposed to retreat according to the planned route, and there were arrangements in several alleys to respond, but one of the men pulled off his jacket, revealing the bomb strapped to his waist.In the white smoke, he yelled something in Korean, but unfortunately the other three people who participated in the assassination couldn't understand, and the Japanese were also taken aback by his desperate attack method.

"Virgo, Anzi..."

The chief of the third office gritted his teeth, "Let's go!"

Seeing the backs of the three of them disappearing into the alley, the man with the bomb strapped to his body smiled.With a loud bang, he died together with five Japanese soldiers.

Rihachiro Sakanishi, who was shot six times in the body, died on the spot, and Hiroshi Aoki, who was injured by the bomb and hit his vitals by the bullet, also died. After the people from Section [-] left, he was still conscious, and shouted loudly to a Japanese soldier in the legation: "Doctor, I need a doctor!"

After the two Japanese doctors arrived, Shigeru Honjo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his life had been saved, but he was too relieved to see the flash in the eyes of the "Japanese" doctor when he took out the injection from the medicine box Cold light.

After simple treatment, the injured Shigeru Honjo and the Japanese soldiers were sent to the nearest Japanese hospital.Ben Zhuangfan, who was lying on a stretcher, grabbed a clerk of the embassy and wanted to tell him that the assassination was not simple, and that it was probably not an act of revenge by the North Koreans, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't say it. Little voice.

Ben Zhuangfan held his neck in astonishment, opened his mouth wide open, his eyes almost protruded from their sockets because of panic.

The Japanese clerk didn't understand what was wrong with him, and thought he was seriously injured; he immediately called for a doctor.

The doctor who had treated Fan Zhuang's injuries before trotted over. Amidst the clerk's scolding, he carefully examined the wounds on Fan Zhuang's abdomen, and said, "Your Excellency is seriously injured and must be sent to the hospital immediately."

Ben Zhuangfan looked at the doctor in front of him and always felt that something was wrong, but the doctor suddenly pressed hard on the wound on his abdomen, a burst of severe pain spread throughout his limbs, and he quickly passed out.All this happened so quickly that even the nearest clerk didn't notice something was wrong.

The news that Sakanishi, Aoki and others were assassinated in front of the Japanese embassy quickly spread among the envoys of various countries.

Lin Quanzhu, the new Minister Plenipotentiary to China, was so angry that he was really out of luck. Banxi and Aoki came to the embassy together only at his invitation, but they were both assassinated unexpectedly.Among the Japanese intelligence personnel in China, the two were the oldest and most valued by the headquarters, but now they both died at the hands of the assassins!

Judging from the information fed back from the scene, this was a planned assassination.The people sent to hunt him down have not found any useful clues so far, which shows that the assassin's arrangements are quite careful.Is it Korean?perhaps.However, Lin Quanzhu narrowed his eyes, and it is very likely that he is from Huaxia!

If it was really done by the Chinese, why did they suddenly do it?Or blatantly do it in front of the embassy?

Lin Quanzhu knew a little about the activities of Banxi and others in China, but not in detail.After Goodnow returned to China, the "Republic and the Monarchy" was not published publicly, and the plan to disrupt China was aborted, and Sakanishi and Honjo Shigeru would not tell others about their private dealings with the British.Lin Quanzhu could only make guesses based on what he knew, and if he wanted to make a final decision, he had to wait for Shige Honjo's injury to recover.

However, Lin Quanzhu was doomed to be disappointed.

That night, news of Ben Zhuang Fan's death came from the hospital. The cause of death was serious injuries.Three of the seven Japanese soldiers who were admitted to the hospital also died.The remaining four are permanently disabled.When Lin Quanzhu was so angry that he jumped up and was worried about how to face the accusation from the headquarters, the assassination incident had already been reported in the newspapers.Newspapers in Beijing, Shanghai, and the six northern provinces all made extensive reports on this, and some newspapers even included photos.People in the Japanese legation found it very strange. When the incident happened, there should be no reporters near the legation. When were these photos taken?

Regarding the assassination, the newspapers have different opinions.Most of the rhetoric tended to be an act of revenge by the North Koreans.In order to prove the truth of the speculation, several newspapers specially wrote long reports on the "grievances" between North Korea and Japan. From the Sino-Japanese War, when Japan became a protectorate of North Korea, to the complete occupation of North Korea, almost all major events did not fall.

King Lee Hee of North Korea and Governor Jeong-yi of North Korea all appeared in the report. The well-informed also made reports on the surging resistance movement in North Korea in recent years. Lee Dong-do and Kim Jong-sun of the North Korean National Salvation Army were also mentioned.The action of clearing up the payment initiated by Zhengyi in the temple in North Korea was even more famous.

From what happened in North Korea, Chinese people think of what Japan did in China, Gengzi Rebellion, Lushun Massacre, Fengcheng Massacre... More and more crimes Japan committed in China appeared in newspapers, Japan People realize that the situation is wrong, but it is too late.

Activities to boycott Japanese goods have been launched across the country. Many young students also organized speeches and parades, shouting "Japanese get out of China!" Japanese expatriates flocked to the Shanghai International Settlement.The emergence of a large number of Japanese ronin and gangsters also brought brothels, smoking dens and gambling dens, and the security problem became very serious.The Japanese settlement in the concession became overcrowded and smoky.This caused great dissatisfaction among the expatriates of other countries living in the concession, especially the French, who had long had quarrels with Japan, and publicly declared that all problems must be completely resolved by driving the Japanese away.

The Americans sided with the French. There was no way. Who made them and the Japanese neighbors in the concession. Many American expatriates complained that there were too many Japanese.The attitude of the British is vacillating. France is their ally in Europe, and France is indispensable to fighting the Germans, while the Japanese are their dogs in Asia. They respect the opinions of France, but they cannot let others take their own. The watchdog was killed.

The Chinese government intervened at this time. After discussing with Song Zhou, President Lou Da dispatched special personnel to discuss with the consuls of various countries.

Out of "friendship" with other countries, the Chinese government will take over the security management of the Japanese-inhabited areas in the concession.When countries were worried that Huaxia would use this to send troops to the concession, the Huaxia representative said with a smile: "Don't worry, of course only the police are in charge of law and order."

The Japanese consul's protest was ignored, and the British would feel guilty no matter how arrogant they were. They didn't want to conflict with China at the moment, and France and the United States vented their anger from the same nostrils.Germany has announced that it will return the Chinese Concession to China, and it is none of their business if China sends more troops to the concession. If it can cause headaches for the British and French, they will be happy to see it.

Of course, the Huaxia police did not come for nothing. A large number of low-priced necessary supplies became the price for these Europeans to betray the Japanese.America doesn't need supplies, but they need markets.The huge Chinese market and the growing purchasing power of Chinese people have long made these Americans salivate.

What about competing with the Chinese in Europe?Sooner or later, the war will end, and they must prepare for the "future".

John of the American firm has become a "myth" among American businessmen in China.From an inconspicuous tycoon of a foreign firm to a rich man with a wealth of wealth, he has also established friendship with the real power faction in northern China. From John, they saw opportunities, a lot of opportunities to make money!

In the seventh year of the Republic of China, on August 1916, 27, the Chinese government announced the dispatch of police to the North District of the Shanghai Public Concession. The arrest houses in this area are still reserved, but the patrols must be performed by Chinese people. They will cooperate with the Huaxia police who entered the concession to manage the North District. law and order.

When the news hit the papers, 500 policemen, still in uniform yesterday, were marching into the International Settlement.These [-] people are only the first batch. In the following period of time, there will be more police stationed in the North District.Although they were wearing police uniforms, they were holding rifles instead of batons.According to the words of Huaxia officials, this is just in case.At this time, there were tens of thousands of Japanese expatriates in the concession, and it would be impossible to "manage" these people well without the number of police.

The British and the French began to regret that the "ambition" of the Chinese people was clearly not only in the Japanese-inhabited area, not even in the North District, but even in the East District there were shadows of the Huaxia Police!But it’s useless to regret, it’s easy to ask God to send God away, people have come in, want to invite them out again?It is impossible to think about it.

The Japanese wanted to cry but had no tears. They couldn't figure it out. It was their diplomats who were assassinated, so they were the victims, right?How did the situation develop into what it is now?

However, no matter how bad the situation was, most of the Japanese in the concession had no plans to return home.The situation in Japan is terrible now. The farmers are hungry, the workers are not full, and the soldiers have to cut down on food and clothing.Men sell their strength, women sell their bodies, and the family still can't get enough to eat.It's hard to live in China, at least you can still have a full stomach, and you won't go back if you kill them!

Gradually, some Japanese began to try their best to establish a good relationship with the Chinese. In order to stay and maintain their lives, they became the "Japanese traitors" in most Japanese population.But they don't care, just like those Chinese people who work for foreigners, they only think about themselves, as long as they can live a good life, let others die.

The first "Japanese traitor" was pretended by Imai Ichiro and others. The power of role models is infinite. As long as someone starts, there is no need to worry about the subsequent development.Of course, there are also Japanese spies who fish in troubled waters, but Song Wu's purpose is not to get much useful information from these Japanese, let alone fully trust them. What he wants is to "split" the Japanese expatriates in these concessions , as long as they are not twisted together, it is very easy to clean them up.

At the end of August, the group of the three places that successfully completed the assassination returned to Guanbei.

The actions of the people in the three places were very secretive, and even President Lou Da didn't know about it in advance.After something happened in Dongjiaomin Lane and Banxi and others were stabbed to death, he received a telegram from Marshal Lou from Guanbei.

After reading the secret telegram, President Lou Da's nose was almost crooked, but after the anger passed, he grinned and laughed, "This bastard, I'm sure I'll be sure!"

Sakanishi, Aoki and others had long displeased President Lou Da. Compared with Li Jinyan, who only learned about these Japanese spies from documents, President Lou Da actually dealt with them.Rihachiro Sakanishi is fine, President Louda has some taboos towards Nobujun Aoki.This person is not only a Huaxia Tong, but also has a terrifyingly accurate understanding of other people's characters and behaviors.Few people can make President Lou Da jealous, and this Japanese is one of them.

Now this man is dead, well dead!

A dead Japanese is a good Japanese.

President Lou Da immediately ordered a large-scale arrest of Japanese spies in the capital under the pretext of investigating the assassination case in front of the Japanese legation.Xiao Youde in Beijing was ordered to take charge of the operation.

Retiring from the position of the chief of the intelligence bureau of the six northern provinces, Xiao Youde saw many things clearly. Looking back on what he did before, he really regretted it.I thought it was a blessing to be able to survive, but it will be like this for the rest of my life. After all, the more you know about what he does, the less likely you will be able to die well.Unexpectedly, President Lou Da would still use him.Being grateful, he put in his best efforts to cooperate with the intelligence network that Mr. Sima had deployed in the capital in the early years. All the Japanese spies who were locked up, no matter how big or small the fish were, would all be lost.

When Nobumi Aoki and Rihachiro Sakanishi died, the Japanese intelligence agencies in China were leaderless for a while. If Shigeru Honjo hadn’t died, there might be a turnaround, but he also “died of his injuries” in the hospital. These Japanese spies seemed to be released The fish on the chopping board is useless even if it jumps up and down, it can only wait obediently for the knife to fall.

President Lou Da and Sima Jun got off the net in the capital, and Song Zhou started in the south. The Japanese intelligence agency in China, which had been lingering, finally came to an end in 1916.Even if there are still fish that slip through the net, it will not be able to cause much trouble.If they still want to do some ghostly tricks, the only thing waiting for them is death.

China's series of actions against Japan are also shocking. The Japanese warned Europeans that China's national strength is not as good as them, but today's Chinese people have never been afraid of anyone!Get anxious, desperately want to bite off a piece of their flesh!

What's more, the Huaxia people have never lacked means. After arresting the Japanese, the Japanese Minister Lin Quanzhu still had to twist his thighs and grit his teeth, while bending down to thank Huaxia for their great help in arresting the "assassination murderer".

Guanbei

Li Jinyan read the telegrams sent back from the capital and Shanghai, and sighed. It would be great if he could completely strangle the poisonous snake in Japan. Unfortunately, John Bull is there, so it is not possible yet.

The chiming clock on the wall rang, Li Jinyan looked up at the time, got up and stretched, it was time to practice calligraphy.Mrs. Lou called. Mr. Bai and several masters of Chinese studies will arrive in Guanbei in the near future. Li Jinyan can guess why these old gentlemen came without being reminded by others.Calculating the time, it will take some time before the ship reaches the shore. What are these old gentlemen doing in Guanbei so early?

For some reason, Li Jinyan suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and always felt that he might not have a good time in the next few days.

In fact, Li Sanshao's premonition was quite accurate. On the special train from Beijing to Guanbei, Bai Laozheng boasted to an old friend that his grandson-in-law had not been learning calligraphy for a long time, but she already had a strong willow style.

"Really?" The old man happened to be good at calligraphy, after hearing Bai Lao's words, he said: "Since that's the case, after arriving in Guanbei, we should have a discussion with you."

Li Sanshao, who was writing, sneezed, paused, and the written word had to be discarded.

On September [-]nd, Bailao and his party arrived in Guanbei. Marshal Lou and Li Jinyan went to the station to greet them in person. Except for Bailao, the six masters of Chinese studies looked at them, especially Li Jinyan, all looked very "kind".

Li Jinyan was confused by the "enthusiasm" of the old gentlemen, and secretly guessed that it was probably because of the ship of antiques he brought back.However, soon he will understand how wrong he is... By then, Li Sanshao can only ask for more blessings.

On September [-]rd, the new bomber of the Guanbei Aircraft Factory tried again. Compared with the original model, the new bomber still adopts the double-wing design, but the shape has changed a little. If it was Zhong Kui level before, it has been improved to Zhong Wuyan at least now up.

On the same day, a Zeppelin airship carrying out a bombing mission was shot down by a British plane over London. Since the beginning of the war, the German airship, which has repeatedly caused the British to panic, finally tasted its first defeat.
