Chapter 187: Tempting Communication, Assassinating Chen (Happy Lantern Festival)

In addition to the Manufacturing Bureau, Zhang Xiong and others also had to reconnoiter the topography and armament of personnel at various key points, such as the Shanghai Customs Road, the Nanshi Police Station, and the Songhu Barracks, so as to provide a basis for formulating military plans for the Shanghai Command Headquarters to be established soon.

In fact, judging from the comparison of the forces of all parties in Shanghai at that time, the number of Qing troops was not large, and the victory of the merchant group was relatively certain. Moreover, Chen Wenqiang had been using Xingyitang to infiltrate the patrol police for several years, and this force, which nominally belonged to the imperial court or the government, would not affect the actions of the revolution even if it could not charge forward in the revolution.

As for whether to transfer troops from the southern sea, Chen Wenqiang has such an idea, but he will not make a decision until after weighing and considering. The Shanghai Command is in charge of the military, and their opinion is very crucial.

Although the six-month launch of the revolution has not been clearly announced, there are already signs that the time for action is not far off, and the cadres of the Revival Society of the level of Zhang Xiong are keenly aware of this, and they are more energetic and more eager to look forward to it.

Chen Wenqiang is busy with other work. Participating in gatherings, visiting celebrities, inviting friends, and even having a lot of contacts with big businessmen and high-ranking officials from various countries have a lot of high-level communication and temptation, and the effect is not easy to see, but it is also crucial.

As he analyzed and judged, Britain and France were concentrating their energies on Europe, lacking the strength and motivation to intervene in the Far East, preferring stability or maintaining the status quo. Based on its enthusiasm for business and the guarantee of its open-door policy, the United States also opposes unilateral interference by other countries as long as it excludes the basis and necessity of their intervention in China's internal regime change. The Germans have good relations with Chen Wenqiang, and as long as they know that Chen Wenqiang is a revolutionary party, neutrality is the minimum choice, as long as they protect the interests they have already gained in China.

As for Japan and Russia, Chen Wenqiang does not have so much energy. Despite their vigilance, they can only take a roundabout approach and suppress them with the help of other powers, suppressing them to take the opportunity to interfere.

Even if he hoped that Japan and Russia would not interfere in China's internal affairs, Chen Wenqiang did not flatter or bow his head, and the movement to Japan continued. It is also a way of showing strength, and if Japan insists on intervening, it will inevitably provoke a wider and deeper resistance.

You can't expect mercy from others by showing weakness and flattery, especially for the Japanese, whose character dictates to respect only the strong. Although Chen Wenqiang does not yet think that he is strong enough to be respected, a strong heart, and even the unity and strength of the Chinese people, must be demonstrated.

In Shanghai, Chen Wenqiang stayed for a full month, doing all the work he could. Just as he was about to leave, the action against Chen Yingshi finally came to fruition.

The plan of action was reviewed and approved by Chen Wenqiang, and it was a good move to kill people with a knife, which not only cleared up the mutual struggle between revolutionary groups, but also achieved the original goal.

Chen Yingshi died, died on the ship that went to Hankou to organize the "Mainland News", died at the hands of government agents, died of resisting arrest, died of gunfire. Because of his status as a revolutionary party (naturally someone provided evidence), this is nothing unusual, and are there still fewer revolutionaries who died from Qing court agents or government offices?

Undoubtedly, this is a heavy blow to the desperate operation that the alliance is about to embark on.
