Chapter 136: An Assassination That Shocked the World
"Boss Qin said it well! Without the young marshal, how can we have today's Sichuan industry and commerce! ”
"That's right, the young marshal has always supported our industry and commerce, everyone can see it, let's toast the young marshal together!"
"Yes, a cup to the young marshal!"
……
Everyone present stood up and toasted Wang Mo, in the past, they were not less helped and supported by Wang Mo, of course, they were sincerely grateful to Wang Mo. In this era, there is really no local authority who has done so much to support industry and commerce as Wang Mo.
Wang Mo stood up, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said with a slight smile: "You have praised it, I just provided some convenient conditions, and the development of Sichuan industry and commerce today is inseparable from your efforts." You have provided a large number of high-quality jobs for the people of Sichuan, you have promoted the rapid development of Sichuan's economy, and you have paid a large amount of taxes to the military government! I should give you a toast, and I only thank you on behalf of the Sichuan Military Government and the people of Sichuan! ”
After saying that, Wang Mo raised the wine glass and saluted everyone around, and then drank it all.
"!"
"It's done!"
"Happy!"
Everyone present raised their heads and dried up the wine in the glass, and their perception of Wang Mo became better and better.
After everyone sat down again, Wang Mo continued: "In the past year, your business has been prosperous, and the market in Sichuan must have been almost developed, have you ever thought about going out of Sichuan?" ”
Hearing Wang Mo's words, everyone's eyes lit up. Indeed, as Wang Mo said, with the Sichuan Military Government's rectification of various parts of Sichuan, those who set up factories and opened shops have also successively spread their sales networks to all parts of Sichuan, which can be regarded as almost occupying the market development in Sichuan.
Now, it is indeed time to go out of Sichuan and expand to the whole country.
Qin Xianglin, who is the president of the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, stood up and asked Wang Mo on behalf of everyone: "What does the young marshal mean, is it for us to expand our business to Hubei?" ”
"That's right, you don't have to worry about any trouble if you expand your business to Hubei, I'm the governor of Hubei. I would like to assure you that I will continue to help and support your business! When Wang Mo said this, he clenched his fist with his right hand, and his voice increased. Nowadays, foreign goods are popular and have seized the vast majority of the market in China. You are all leaders in our country's industry and commerce, and I hope to see you expel foreign goods from China, and then fight abroad. Compete with them in the international market! ”
Before these people came to Sichuan to set up factories and open shops, they were not less suppressed by foreign goods, and Wang Mo's words naturally spoke to their hearts, and they all looked excited.
Qin Xianglin said with some concern: "Young marshal, if you can contribute to the expulsion of foreign goods, everyone is naturally willing." It's just that foreigners are strong, and everyone is afraid that they may not be able to suppress foreign goods. ”
This is also true, the scale of the foreigner factory is huge, so the products produced are low in cost and not bad in quality. Naturally, the competitiveness is not comparable to that of Chinese local goods.
Wang Mo smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to worry, I will urge the Hubei Provincial Government to introduce relevant policies to impose an additional entry tax on foreign goods, so as to increase the cost of foreign goods, I believe it will be of great help to you." ”
Impose an additional entry tax on foreign goods?
This is a trade barrier to Chiguoguo, and this stick alone can almost smash foreign goods half to death.
The business people present were all overjoyed, and it was good that there was a bias from the official policy. If these are still not competitive with foreign goods, then they simply don't eat the bowl of industry and commerce.
"Good. With the support of the young marshal, what foreigners are we afraid of! ”
"If you go to Hubei, you will go to Hubei, damn it, you will have a fight with foreign goods!"
". Foreign goods have dominated our domestic market for so long, it's time to drive them out of China! ”
……
Now that Wang Mo is behind him, everyone no longer has any worries and concerns, and they have expressed their willingness to expand their business to Hubei, start a comprehensive competition with foreign goods, and seize back the domestic market.
With the opening of the Chongqing branch of Taihe Textile Factory. Wang Mo successfully guided and encouraged a large number of Sichuan industrialists and businessmen to expand their business to Hubei Province, sharpening their knives and rushing to foreign goods flooding all parts of the country.
This is also what Wang Mo has been deliberately planning, only with the development of national capital, can the domestic economy truly develop, and China can truly move towards prosperity and strength.
It is better to take advantage of the fact that during the First World War, when the power of foreigners was shrinking so much that they had no time to take care of the Far East, they would expel foreign goods from China in one fell swoop.
Therefore, after arranging the planning and development of various industrial projects in Sichuan, Wang Mo took a battalion of guards and a large number of Sichuan industrial and commercial people to Hubei.
……
Hubei, Wuhan, in an apartment in the British Concession.
Knock-knock-knock
There was a knock on the door, and someone in the room said, "Come in." ”
The door was pushed open, and a person in the room asked the person who walked in, "How is it, Asano-kun, have you determined the specific time for Wang Mo to return to Wuhan?" ”
The person who questioned him was none other than Japanese secret service agent Shinsuke Kimura, and it was his subordinate Taro Asano who was walking into the room.
Closing the door, Taro Asano gritted his teeth and said, "The people of Shina are so greedy, it's just the approximate time when a ship arrives at the port, and they actually ask for ten gold bars!" ”
Shinsuke Kimura frowned and said, "Asano-kun, you have to understand the importance of our operation. Wang Mo's power has grown too fast, and this person is extremely hostile to our Great Japanese Empire, and he will definitely become a strong enemy that threatens the Great Japanese Empire in the future. As long as you can get rid of him, let alone ten gold bars, even a hundred are worth it. ”
"Kimura-kun, it's not that I don't understand this, it's just that I'm very angry with that person's greed and extortion." Taro Asano replied, "The official of the Hubei provincial government in China has revealed that four days later, in the morning, Wang Mo's steamer arrived at the Hankou wharf. ”
"Four days later, ...... morning," Kimura Shinsuke muttered softly, and then asked, "Have you found out how much Wang Mo's bodyguard force will have, and presumably, the Hubei Army and the Second Division of the Sichuan Army will also send troops to the Hankou dock to guard at that time, and this situation must also be clarified." ”
"This ...... I'm afraid it's hard to find out, and even if we do, I'm afraid we won't be able to break through the blockade cordon. Taro Asano said with a series of embarrassments.
At this time, another person in the room suddenly snorted coldly and said coldly: "You mean, you Japanese have no way to assassinate Wang Mo?" Then what are you still looking for me for, fooling me? ”
The person who spoke was gloomy for a while, the whole person was as cold as ice, and the rich hatred and killing intent in his eyes were like substance. Almost anyone can see it. This person has completely fallen into the world of hatred.
This person is none other than Lu Feng, the former eldest son of the Lu family, who was once famous as a young talent in the military circles of southern Sichuan, but he never thought that he would become what he is today.
Kimura Shinsuke knew that Lu Feng was absolutely unreasonable at this time. So he hurriedly said: "Lu Sang, don't be impatient, Wang Mo is the young marshal of the Sichuan army and the governor of Hubei, and the vigilance force around him is definitely not small, and it will definitely not work if he wants to attack." However, there is another plan, it depends on whether Lu Gongzi dares to implement it. ”
"What a plan. Hurry up! As long as you can kill Wang Mo's turtle son, even if you lose my life! Lu Feng's words were full of bitter hatred.
Kimura Shinsuke was not surprised by Lu Feng's reaction at all, and it was precisely because he liked Lu Feng's bitter hatred for Wang Mo that he chose Lu Feng to carry out the plan to assassinate Wang Mo.
"Lusang, we have contacted and bought off a former senior officer of the Hubei Army, who can help us to infiltrate one or two people in the Hubei Army, who will go to the Hankou docks to carry out a guard duty in four days. As long as you carry a large amount of explosives and suddenly rush up at the moment when Wang Mo gets off the boat, it is definitely not a problem to blow up Wang Mo. Kimura Shinsuke said with some demagogy, this assassination plan is obviously to kill Lu Feng and Wang Mo together.
Lu Feng was silent, even though he hated Wang Mo. also repeatedly told himself that even if he died with Wang Mo, he would kill Wang Mo to avenge his father, but he was still a little hesitant when he made the decision to risk his life.
"Lu Sang, to tell you the truth, Wang Mo's power will only get stronger day by day. Now he hasn't noticed it yet, and we have a chance. Once he is on guard, I am afraid that we will no longer have the possibility of assassinating him, and you will no longer be able to avenge your father and the entire Lu family. Asano Taro was also on the side, using words to stimulate Lu Feng.
Thinking of the Lu family who were scattered as birds and beasts, and thinking of his father who died tragically in Chengdu, Lu Feng's eyes suddenly turned red. The hatred in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will do it, as long as I can kill Wang Mo and avenge my father and the entire Lu family." Even if it is death, I am willing! ”
Shinsuke Kimura and Taro Asano glanced at each other, and there was a hint of joy in their eyes. Originally, they were also going to send Japanese dead soldiers to carry out this suicide assassination plan, but now that Lu Feng volunteered as a replacement, they were naturally happy to see it happen.
Four days later, around 10 a.m., at the Hankou wharf.
The entire wharf area was cordoned off by the Sichuan Army and the Hubei Army on the third floor inside and the outer three floors. There were heavily armed soldiers everywhere.
However, it was precisely because there were too many soldiers in charge of guarding, and the Sichuan Army and the Hubei Army were not particularly familiar with each other, that the former senior officer of the Hubei Army bribed by the Japanese was given the opportunity to exploit the loophole and successfully mixed a Japanese dead soldier and Lu Feng into the ranks of the Hubei Army.
Soon, the dock area was crowded with high-ranking military and political officials from Hubei who came to greet Wang Mo, and the scene became a little noisy and noisy.
After a while, the steamer appeared on the river in the distance and slowly docked towards the pier.
After the ship was completely docked on the ship, the gangway was erected, and Wang Mo's guards were the first to come down, and then Wang Mo, dressed in military uniform, appeared on the deck and was walking off the ship through the gangway.
Suddenly!
The Japanese dead soldier disguised as a soldier of the Hubei Army rushed out of the guard post, drew his gun and shot at Wang Mo.
Bang -
A gunshot rang out, and everyone was shocked.
"There are assassins! Protect the young marshal! ”
Bang-bang-bang
The guards immediately raised their guns and fired at them, beating the Japanese dead into a sieve.
However, taking advantage of the chaos at the scene, Lu Feng, who was disguised as a soldier of the Hubei Army, successfully pretended to rush over to protect Wang Mo, and successfully approached Wang Mo, who was only injured in his left arm just now.
"Wang Mo, go die! I'll let you pay for our Lu family's lives today, haha-"
Lu Feng pulled the explosive bag tied to his body, laughed wildly and threw himself at Wang Mo.
Everyone didn't expect that after the assassin who was assassinated with a pistol, there was also a suicide attack by Lu Feng who was strapped to a bag of explosives, and he didn't have time to react at all.
Boom -
A violent explosion sounded, and the fireworks and shock waves generated by the explosion instantly engulfed the area around Wang Mo. (To be continued.) )
