Back to the Republic of China as a commander

In Wuhan, the first department attendant to receive a call from Chen Bulei, but the first to hear the news of Wang Zhenyu's assassination was the Gendarmerie Headquarters led by Yang Wangui. Xu Yuanquan, the teaching director of the Army University, directly hung up the phone to the Gendarmerie Headquarters .

"What, someone assassinated the commander-in-chief and wounded two guards?" Since the establishment of the national government, Yang Wangui was pulled down from the chief of staff by Wang Zhenyu because of his own ability, and then he worked in the gendarmerie headquarters.How can this gendarmerie commander satisfy Yang Wangui's desires? You must know that the chief of staff is a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, the vice chairman, and the third person in the army.But now that the commander-in-chief was assassinated, Yang Wangui, who has always had a higher sense of politics than military affairs, immediately felt that his chance was coming. "Okay, you guys have caught him. I'll send someone over to pick him up right away. No, I'll bring someone over to pick him up. Thank you Brother Xu this time."

Yang Wangui put down the phone, rubbed his hands excitedly, and shouted at his adjutant, who was also his nephew: "Liuxi, pass on my order, immediately dispatch all the military police in Wuhan, and put the whole city under martial law. The security brigade of the headquarters is assembled, and grandpa and I will go to the Army University to get people..."

Twenty minutes later, at the gate of Wuhan Army University, Mei Yunping, who was an assassin, was beaten up and lay straight in the university's duty room.And Xu Yuanquan has already selected a hundred students from the school students to distribute weapons to guard the assassin. The students are still emotional. If the instructors hadn't tried to dissuade the assassin from being useful, they would have killed the assassin a long time ago. up.At this time, four large black trucks came from a distance, the standard configuration of the military police.When the car stopped, the fully armed military police in black uniforms with white helmets jumped out of the car, and immediately dispersed the control points.Yang Wangui arrived in a special sealed escort car, exchanged pleasantries with Xu Yuanquan briefly, and took him away.After a while, the people from the Military Intelligence Bureau came, and when they heard that the assassin had been taken away by the military police, they chose to leave annoyed.

This day was originally Wednesday, the busiest time on the streets of Wuhan. Suddenly, thousands of military police appeared on the streets of Wuhan, setting up checkpoints to strictly check past behavior, and pedestrians became panicked for a while.

Relying solely on the military police was obviously not enough. Hao Bing, the commander in chief of security, ordered all the Hubei security corps to be mobilized, and the railway headquarters ordered the blockade of the station. The local garrison in Wuhan also entered a state of combat readiness.

When the whole city was under martial law, everyone discovered a more complicated problem. With so many military agencies, who is in charge of the martial law?Is it the Gendarmerie, MI, or the Security Forces?

In the end, Wang Zhenyu personally confirmed the candidate for the commander-in-chief of this incident, member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission and Secretary-General Zhao Hengti.

It turned out afterwards that it was a wise move for Zhao Hengti to be the commander-in-chief, because Zhou Lan and He Jian, who were most suitable to handle the matter, were both suitable at this time.If it's Zhou Lan, then it's likely to be involved in a lot, because this person is now determined to handle a big case and make great contributions.And if it was He Jian, the situation would be more complicated, because at the end of the whole incident, He Jian himself was involved.

The first order Zhao Hengti issued was to carry out a large-scale search operation at the place where Wang Zhenyu was going at the end of today's itinerary, because it is the most basic common sense that no assassination will rely on a successful one.The most recent example is the European War. The Grand Duke of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was killed after many assassinations. Of course, the main reason was that he was too arrogant. After several failed assassinations, he still insisted on the original itinerary. This is death. .

But is the person who organized the assassination so stupid?Will multiple assassinations be scheduled on the same day after the Army University has been alarmed?Zhou Lan was the first to raise objections, but Zhao Hengti didn't reply. That's all he can do now. Wenlu's side is already in turmoil, and a whole regiment of troops has been transferred to take charge of the outer security.In Zhao Hengti's heart, he still hoped that the situation would subside as soon as possible, after all, this country could no longer stand any troubles.

Captain Li Yi, the captain of the 22th Squadron of the Military Police Corps of the Wuhan Division, originally planned to go on a date today, but received an urgent mission before departure. The 80-year-old veteran was very upset and took more than 402 military policemen under him in three latest vehicles. The configured military vehicle drove out from the [-] base of the Gendarmerie Corps.

Shangfeng's order was to ask the [-]th Squadron to go to the Naval University, the next stop of Marshal Wang Zhenyu's inspection, and then conduct the most stringent inspection there.

When Li Yi jumped out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth, his heart skipped a beat. He felt that there was going to be an accident in this place today, so his hand immediately reached for the pistol at his waist. This action was proved later Saved his life. . .

Zhang Zhicai is an ordinary officer of the navy. He is 23 years old and originally from Minhou, Fujian. He joined the Navy Haichen in the second year of the Republic of China.After the Navy Nantou, Zhang Zhicai was recommended to the newly established Wuhan Naval University. This was also the arrangement of Naval Minister Sa Zhenbing. Almost all students from Fujian were sent to Wuhan, while those from other places of origin went to Nanjing Naval University.

Zhang Zhicai's political leanings are usually not very obvious, because he doesn't talk much.But the people in the same room found that there were always seven or eight classmates around him, and they didn't know what they were doing every day.

Only Zhang Zhicai knew what he was going to do next, to assassinate Wang Zhenyu. . .

During the summer vacation, Zhang Zhicai and his seven best classmates (who were originally officers on the Haichen) went to Nanjing to play, where they met a big man, Wang Jingwei.The matter of assassinating Wang Zhenyu was really too big. Wang Jingwei didn't dare to pretend to others in the selection of assassins. He had to go out and brainwash these assassins himself.

The eight people including Zhang Zhicai were naturally successfully brainwashed by Wang Jingwei, because they accepted the assassination mission, and Zhang Zhicai, the oldest of the eight, was appointed as the supreme commander of the entire assassination operation.The eight people now believe what Wang Jingwei said, that as long as the great warlord Wang Zhenyu and Cao Cao are killed, and the revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen truly leads the national government, the national revolution will achieve real victory.

After Zhang Zhicai and the others returned to Wuhan, they basically ate, lived and traveled together, so that they could monitor each other to prevent leakage of news.But even if he returned to Wuhan, the possibility of meeting Wang Zhenyu and carrying out an assassination is very slim.

When everyone was extremely anxious, they got an important news, that is, on the afternoon of August 8, Wang Zhenyu will come to the Wuhan Campus of Naval University for inspection after inspecting Wuhan Army University.This is simply a godsend opportunity. As long as Zhang Zhicai and the others can get weapons, they will have a chance to kill Wang Zhenyu, a living Cao Cao.

But the thing that surprised Zhang Zhicai was still to come. I don't know what Haida was thinking, so impartially, they actually arranged eight of them to be responsible for reporting the students' thoughts to Chairman Wang Zhenyu.At the same time, on August 8, the eight of them were inexplicably arranged to escort a batch of shell guns to the shooting range of the Naval Officers Club.When Zhang Zhicai was escorting him, he felt that these young students were just pawns in this assassination plan, and there were still people in the upper echelon of the Navy who were promoting it. To understand this, the eight of them naturally took a shell gun and 1 rounds of ammunition each.But it seemed that the higher-ups were worried that the firepower of the eight of them would not be enough to kill Wang Zhenyu who was surrounded by guards, so they sent another box of grenades.This is a very scary thing, anyone can imagine how many people would die when using this thing on that occasion, Zhang Zhi just thought of this and felt a bit of chill for the cruelty of the above.

But the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. If Zhang Zhicai dares to back down at this time, the other seven people will kill him in the name of revolution.

After lunch at noon on August 8, the Naval University began to assemble. Thousands of students were all dressed in beautiful student uniforms to welcome the arrival of Chairman Wang.

At this time, Zhang Zhicai finally felt the tension and pressure, and according to the agreement, Zhang Zhicai would be the first to shoot.Once the target is missed, the grenade is thrown.Under this kind of plan, there is definitely no reason for Wang Zhenyu to survive, it's just that he doesn't know how many people will be buried with him.But can he really complete this task?Zhang Zhicai couldn't help trembling all over. His instructor felt this and patted him on the shoulder lightly, as if implying that everyone was in the same group. Zhang Zhicai forced himself to calm down a little.He seemed to see Wang Zhenyu coming in front of him, and then he took out a pistol and shot him crazily, saving the entire Republic of China, and his name will go down in history.

Just as he was fantasizing, Zhang Zhicai was suddenly pulled back to reality by a screeching brake. He was surprised to see the heavily armed military police jumping down, and couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, something bad happened.

The army leading the team was Li Yi. He pointed to Zhang Zhicai and the others and said, "Anyone who might get close to the commander-in-chief will be searched."

Zhang Zhicai knew immediately that something bad was going to happen, but before he could react, the accomplice behind him chose to resist.

"Bang bang..." The buckle gun fired continuously, and a young gendarme flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Li Yi was taken aback. He didn't expect to catch a big fish. He immediately raised his gun to fight back.But the gendarmes couldn't control that much anymore, they fired immediately, Zhang Zhicai was hit by a stray bullet before he had time to draw his gun, and fell to the ground, the piercing pain made him pass out, who was originally full of pride. . .

Chapter 377 The Assassination Incident ([-])

The Tianyuan Local Building of the Military Commission, although the Gendarmerie Command is located in the local building, the prison and interrogation room of the Gendarmerie are not here.But it doesn't matter, in order to make it easier for the bosses to solve the case, the officers of the Gendarmerie Command have already vacated the meeting room, but before they started interrogating Mei Yunping, he was taken away by experts from the Interrogation Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau.For this reason, Yang Wangui and He Jian quarreled fiercely at the gate, and they didn't stop talking until Zhao Hengti arrived. . .

But before the interrogation started, the sound of gunfire came from a distance, Yang Wangui and others immediately changed their expressions, what's the matter?

After a while, Li Yi, the captain of the Gendarmerie Squadron with a wounded arm, personally escorted three people. The scuffle at the gate of the Naval University just now resulted in the death of 13 people and the injury of 27, of which four were killed by the Gendarmerie and 11 were injured.And after Li Yi bandaged up a bit afterwards, he took his men to count the battlefield. The battle that happened just now was really shocking. Someone actually took out a grenade. Fortunately, he shot in time, otherwise he would not have been knocked down for a while. Blockbuster. . .

And the counting afterwards shocked Li Yi even more. A total of eight students and two instructors carried weapons, and all of them were shell guns and grenades.Li Yi no longer cared about how many innocent students he had killed. He ordered his subordinates to bring back three wounded gunmen, including Zhang Zhicai who passed out from pain.Li Yi looked at the three survivors and cursed in his heart, these bastards must be killers, grandma's, if it wasn't for the gendarmes he brought with him, they were all just transferred from the field army, with their firepower, it wouldn't be enough to replace a bunch of new recruits It was wiped out by the shell gun long ago.

Yang Wangui felt complacent when he saw his military police escorting a new assassin. No matter how arrogant you are, He Jian, you won't be able to snatch people in front of Zhao Hengti.You must know that although Zhao Hengti is not an old man who follows Wang Zhenyu, he is currently a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, the Secretary General of the Military Commission, and a senior figure in the military below Wang Zhenyu.Although his own power may not be great, he has the right to participate in many decision-making matters. He Jian, the spy chief, naturally dare not be presumptuous in front of such a big man. The more domineering.

The interrogation began after the medical staff treated the three wounded. Unfortunately, two of the wounded could not be rescued because of their serious injuries. Zhang Zhicai was finally able to interrogate.

Zhang Zhicai is no longer as brave as he was at the beginning. Since his injuries were not serious, the interrogators were naturally not polite, and all the tiger stool and chili water were brought up. In the words of the interrogators of the gendarmerie, the whole set has not been done yet. It's over, just halfway through, this kid honestly recruited.But it doesn't matter if it's not a move, and the gendarmerie interrogators were shocked by a move.

Yang Wangui was dumbfounded as soon as he got the interrogation record. After much deliberation, he didn't go to He Jian, but to another spy chief, Zhou Lan.

After reading the transcript report, Zhou Lan said to Yang Wangui with a serious face: "Old Yang, this report really cannot be shown to He Jian, it involves too much..."

According to Zhang Zhicai's account, Wang Jingwei, a member of the Central Committee of the National Socialist Party and Minister of Labor of the Nationalist Government, was the first to bear the brunt.According to the action process he explained, the entire naval system is also involved in this matter.And the relationship between He Jian's Military Intelligence Bureau itself and the navy system is also intricate. If Zhou Lan's thinking is followed, this case can be turned into a huge case that can involve anyone who wants to be involved, without missing a single one.

But Yang Wangui was timid after all, after much deliberation, he still didn't dare to accept Zhou Lan's suggestion to expand the case. In the end, the transcript was sent directly to Zhao Hengti's office by the two without He Jian.

Zhao Hengti looked at the transcript carefully, and asked, "Minister Zhou, it's five o'clock in the afternoon, and the martial law will last until eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Hurry up and talk about your analysis."

"Secretary-General Zhao, please see, I can roughly sort out the main line of the whole incident. First of all, the mastermind behind these eight people can be determined to be Wang Jingwei, Minister of Labor of the National Government, and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind them." The mastermind exists, and we need to arrest Wang Jingwei and conduct interrogation to find out how big it is. As for the assassination itself, we analyzed that the assassins who were originally arranged were the ones who did it at the Naval University, because no matter how they look at it, they have the greatest chance of success The assassination of Mei Yunping was probably an accident. It was precisely such a spontaneous act that disrupted the deployment of the assassin and rescued the general by accident! Some officers from the Naval University and even high-level navy officials must have participated in it, otherwise the eight people Why is it so easy to obtain weapons and priority positions for interviews. The Naval Intelligence Department, which was originally in charge of security, seems to be suspected of not reporting it. The most serious thing is what is the purpose of the assassination? If it is to seize the power of the commander, then the next step The matter is even more complicated, because in order to ensure the successful seizure of power after the assassination, the big figures involved are definitely not one or two, but all aspects? What we may have to do is to dig out these people whose intentions are not good for the general These weeds in all directions" Zhou Lan is worthy of being a professional intelligence agent leader, and she can analyze it well.

Zhao Hengti has already heard Zhou Lan's meaning, this is a massacre!From time to time, he tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand.The development of this matter has gone beyond the scope of ordinary assassination incidents. If Zhou Lan's suggestion is really followed, then this assassination will become a huge case, and countless people will be implicated. Zhao Hengti hesitated involuntarily. . .

Zhao Hengti thought for a long time and said: "Minister Zhou! This case should be handled with caution. Wang Jingwei in Nanjing, the Ministry of the Navy and the Naval University here can monitor it first. In addition, the martial law in the whole city will continue temporarily. What should I do specifically? Do it, I'm going to see the commander-in-chief now..."

In Office 101, the largest and most imposing building in the Standing Committee Building, the wall clock was ticking. Wang Zhenyu had already returned to his office from Wenlu to listen to Zhao Hengti's latest report on the assassination incident itself.

"Brother Yiwu, if I heard correctly, this Mei Yunping was not instigated by anyone, but just avenged his uncle Mei Xin. Moreover, his actions not only failed to kill me, but instead allowed me to avoid the real truth. Can I understand this assassination action?"

Zhao Hengti looked at Wang Zhenyu in surprise. He had already reported the analysis of Minister Zhou Lan of the Party Affairs Investigation Department just now, but the commander-in-chief seemed to have heard nothing, but talked about Mei Yunping, who was no longer important.But he didn't dare to express his doubts, but whispered: "Yes, handsome."

Wang Zhenyu's psychology at the moment is also very complicated, and politics is really an extremely dirty thing.No matter how much you contribute, in the face of absolute power, there are still people who hope to replace you.Wang Zhenyu knew what kind of person Wang Jingwei was. He dared and was able to perform such a big move, which showed that many key figures were happy to see their own accidental death.For the first time, Wang Zhenyu felt that he had failed in life. He asked softly, "Brother Yiwu, will our country be better if I die?"

Zhao Hengti was sweating profusely from Wang Zhenyu's nonsensical sentence: "Marshal, don't think so, it's not easy for us to develop to where we are today, and besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who can lead us on. go down."

Wang Zhenyu leaned back and didn't answer Zhao Hengti's words. At this time, the life secretary Zhao Yuting came with tea: "Master, don't be angry. Let's do this matter according to Minister Zhou's wishes. You should be caught. It should be killed, we have never owed those people in Nanjing."

Wang Zhenyu still didn't speak, after a while, he made up his mind. . .

Zhao Hengti walked out of the Standing Committee building with a serious face. Zhou Lan, He Jian, Yang Wangui and others were already waiting in the garden outside the Standing Committee building.

Zhao Hengti coughed with his hands behind his back and said, "The commander in chief is very busy. Let us deal with this matter directly, but except for the Ministry of the Navy and the person directly responsible, other personnel only investigate and do not arrest people."

Zhou Lan and Yang Wangui nodded and went to execute it. He Jian was about to leave, but Zhao Hengti stopped him: "Director He, you and the Military Intelligence Bureau should not participate in this investigation. In addition, the commander ordered you to issue a handbook Mei Yunping brought him here to meet him, and you yourself are on standby at the headquarters of the Military Commission..."

Zhao Hengti then said to the two major officers around him with a cold face: "You two will follow Chief He to his office to rest for a while, pay attention to protect the safety of Chief He, and don't leave."

He Jian was dumbfounded on the spot when he heard this order, he could only salute Zhao Hengti in embarrassment, and left with the two major officers.Looking at He Jian's back, Zhao Hengti shook his head and said, "People's hearts are not enough!"

And at this time, in the Military Commission building, the people of the Ministry of the Navy are about to suffer a tragedy.Zhao Hengti personally went to the station of the guard regiment to speak: "Comrades, now is the time to test you in the organization. I will give you a list later. You should immediately arrest according to the list. Be careful not to be too rude, but to be civilized. Go ahead. !"

In Shanghai, Wang Yaqiao, the head of Jiangnan Station, suddenly received an internal call from Zhou Lan, the head of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and immediately called all the senior officers in the station for a meeting: "Received the latest order from Wuhan, immediately organize manpower to attack the nationals who are plotting to assassinate the committee members." Wang Jingwei, the Minister of Labor of the government, carried out the arrest and immediately contacted the Nanjing Station and the Nanjing Gendarmerie Command, Mao Renfeng, take someone to Nanjing and start the interrogation on the spot. Minister Zhou asked us to dig out the people behind the scenes."
