The sirens sounded one after another, and the people of Nanjing inexplicably felt a panic.

This kind of situation is not uncommon, but there is only one time, that is, when the East China government launched a full-scale riot in various places, and the garrison troops stationed in Nanjing at that time were under martial law throughout the city. At that time, Nanjing was the city with the least blood shed in East China, but during the martial law period, all the people who went to the streets were detained and interrogated, and all the resisters were killed on the spot, and the blood was the least, which was only relative.

The whole city was on alert, and almost all the citizens of Nanjing immediately thought of that year and hid in their homes. In an instant, the bustling city of Nanjing became extinct, and only the officers and men of the garrison and the Rongwei troops who came by car were on alert.

All 60,000 or 70,000 troops around Nanjing were mobilized to quickly block all intersections in Nanjing and set up checkpoints to blockade the line.

The Xiaguan ferry was crowded with people, all of whom were blocked by the troops, and not only those who came to Nanjing were not allowed to leave, but also those who wanted to leave could not leave. A large number of cargo ships were all detained and not allowed to load or unload cargo. The port was full of heavily loaded officers and soldiers, and even a few tanks were on guard, eyeing the enemy.

Such a sudden change naturally caused dissatisfaction among the passengers and merchants at the wharf, and there was chaos for a while.

When an officer saw this, he grabbed one of the soldier's light machine guns and swept it into the sky, and the sound of the gunfire poured cold water on the noisy people. The officer sneered: "Shut up Lao Tzu!" The president was assassinated, Lao Tzu was ordered to block the dock, and those who resisted were killed! ”

The officer's words were like thunder, and everyone fell silent, almost unable to believe their ears.

The officer said, "The assassin may be among you. If you don't want to die, just obediently cooperate with the investigation! ”

In an instant, the wharf fell into a dead silence, and people also felt the infinite murderous aura brought by the officers and soldiers. You must know that the capital Rong Guard Division is not something that any army can do, and the simplest point is two requirements: 1. Absolute loyalty; 2. Absolute elite.

Li Bufan, China's interim president, and most importantly, the founder of the modern Chinese National Defense Force. This current first Chinese president was actually assassinated? This is simply a matter of heaven and earth, no less than the assassination of the emperor during the feudal dynasty. Such a big event, if it is touched, it is definitely a place to die.

At this time, a destroyer docked at the dock of Shangeshangguan, and a large number of high-ranking naval officers disembarked from the warship, many of whom were old men in their fifties and sixties. The person who came was the former old Beiyang naval officer who was specially dispatched to Port Arthur to surrender, and the leaders were naturally Sa Zhenbing and Li Dingxin.

Sa Zhenbing was holding a long gift box and Li Dingxin talking and laughing off the warship, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning. With decades of military experience, they naturally understood that this was martial law in the army, and a feeling of uneasiness rose in their hearts.

Sa Zhenbing and the others naturally knew how strong Li Bufan's control over the army was, and they were not worried that it would be a mutiny among the troops, but thinking that if Li Bufan ordered a complete blockade, an earth-shattering event would definitely happen in Nanjing, so they immediately sent someone to ask.

"The Great President is assassinated!?" The questioner had not yet returned, and the warship had already received a radio telegram.

With a "click", the gift box held in Sa Zhenbing's hand fell to the ground, and the gift box was loaded with the command knife of the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army who surrendered in Lushun. With the support of Li Bufan at any cost, the Chinese Navy defeated the Japanese Navy, rose in East Asia, and washed away the shame. In particular, Li Bufan asked the old Beiyang Navy to go to Lushun to accept the surrender of the Japanese Kwantung Army, so that the first fortress in the Far East, which Japan captured almost without a single soldier, was also recovered in a bloodless state, opening the heart knot of the old Beiyang Navy, and Li Bufan was simply a kind rebuild for them. They even planned to come to see Li Bufan, and asked Li Bufan to allow their old navy to correct their former robe in Dadonggou and Weihaiwei, hold a memorial service, and pay tribute to the heroic soul.

However, Li Bufan was actually assassinated? This leader who led China to defeat Japan and made China's dragon rise to East Asia actually assassinated? What international jokes? Looking at China, where to find a leader who can support the development of the navy at any cost like Li Bufan? You must know that the navy is a gold-eating beast.

"Great President! How so? Sa Zhenbing's whole person was almost demented, and then they remembered that although they served in the navy and defeated Japan, although they were admirals, they had never seen Li Bufan so far, because the old navy had been attached for too short a time, and the war against Japan was imminent, almost all the officers and men of the navy were directly engaged in the training of being familiar with warships, and then war broke out. Everyone was ecstatic about the huge victory, and at the same time admired Li Bufan, everyone wanted to meet Li Bufan and see this miraculous and wise leader with their own eyes, but when they came to Nanjing, they actually got such news.

Then all the officers and men of the old navy fell into a rage and galloped away into the city.

"Enter the city and immediately go to the presidential palace!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－

Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng and Tang Shaoyi rushed to the presidential palace as soon as possible.

They saw that the presidential palace was moving extremely fast, and in a short period of time the whole city was already under martial law, and the entire city street was on alert with heavily armed officers and soldiers, and the atmosphere of slaughter was permeated.

When they came to the vicinity of the presidential palace, they had already seen the assassin's hiding place that had been smashed into ruins, and the residences around the presidential palace had been fully controlled by officers and soldiers, and all the personnel were detained at home and were not allowed to act without permission.

Duan Qirui and Tang Shaoyi were both heavy-hearted, entered the presidential palace, and soon met Li Bufan's military adviser Wu Di.

"Mr. Wu, how is the president?" Tang Shaoyi's tone trembled a little, and his tone changed.

Wu Di's face seemed to be ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "We say to the outside world that the president suffered a minor arm injury, and this is mainly to stabilize people's hearts. ”

Duan Qirui chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Is it very seriously injured?" ”

"It's heavy!" Wu Di said bitterly, "I was shot in the left chest, and the bullet head was coated with poison!" ”

Duan Qirui and Tang Shaoyi sounded like a bolt from the blue. Where is the left chest, that's the heart. There is also poison, can the poison used to assassinate a character like Li Bufan be a simple poison? Such an injury is not only very serious, but there is no way to live.

Wu Di seemed to see their thoughts, and continued: "We have a high-level antidote elixir, and the poison has been cured. The president was born a strange man, and his heart happened to be on the right side, and the bullet did not hit the heart, avoiding the inevitable death. However, the injury is still very serious, and he is still being rescued and is not out of danger. ”

Duan Qirui, Tang Shaoyi, and Xu Shuzheng breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the first two sentences, but the latter sentence made their hearts rise again.

"God willing, Amitabha. The president must be auspicious. Tang Shaoyi almost immediately prayed to God and worshiped Buddha.

Wu Di frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" The president believes in the authentic Taoism of China. What are you asking for God or Buddha, aren't you cursing the president? ”

Tang Shaoyi had some six gods and no masters, and immediately hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes, Sanqing Patriarch, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" followed by a large list of Taoist immortals.

Wu Di couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it, but he still had to put on a sad and heavy appearance on the surface, and he couldn't bear it in his stomach, and said secretly in his heart: I can't see that this old man Tang still cares about the boss. Why does this Qirui look like he wants to eat people? He's about to take the position, and he should wish the boss was lying down. That's right, he has to behave, otherwise he is worried that he will not be able to control the millions of troops in my country.

Duan Qirui said in a deep voice: "Nanjing's medical level is not the best in China. ”

Wu Di immediately said: "Don't worry, you have ordered to dispatch H-1 Thunderbird bombers to Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai respectively, please ask the best doctors, and be sure to ensure the safety of the president's life." ”

Duan Qirui said with a gloomy face: "Who did it?" Is it the old Beiyang? ”

Wu Di said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be, the whole family of the owner of the house has been controlled, and they don't know what happened." In order to make a lot of money, they rented out their houses to others, and it was said that they were a foreign trading company in Beiping. Due to the urgency of the moment, the assassin was killed on the spot, and the clue was cut off. ”

Duan Qirui's eyes widened and he said hurriedly: "How can you kill it?" No matter how big the price is, it must be captured alive on the spot, tortured, traced down the mastermind behind the scenes, and then these damn miscellaneous corpses must be broken into pieces! How can you shoot it? This answer made Duan Qirui's stomach burst into flames. Although Wu Di said that it was very likely that it was not done by the people of Lao Beiyang, but that group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals may not think so, the house is yours, can you get rid of it? If you can't catch the real murderer, then the whole family of the old Beiyang will have to be tortured, and it's okay to die, if you are beaten to confess that it was the old Beiyang, it will be a catastrophe.

Who is most beneficial to Li Bufan's death? Duan Qirui, of course. You must know that Duan Qirui has almost been recognized as the official president of New China, but in any case, as long as Li Bufan is there, then Duan Qirui will not think about using military power, there is no force in hand, and he Duan Qirui has no confidence to speak. If Li Bufan died, then he Duan Qirui might take over the three armies with his prestige.

The second is the old Beiyang system, everyone knows that Li Bufan likes to appoint young people, whether it is an officer or a political system, he has appointed and promoted a large number of young officials, which makes the older generation of Beiyang bigwigs embarrassed? But Li Bufan is dead, and Duan Qirui is on the throne, so they have a lot of opportunities to regain the authority of the state. What can't politicians do for the sake of power?

However, Li Bufan supported Duan Qirui's ascension, and Duan Qirui didn't need to do this, the biggest possibility was Lao Beiyang. This inference really made Duan Qirui shudder.

Xu Shuzheng suddenly said, "What kind of gun did the assassin use?" ”

Wu Di's eyes lit up and said, "Japanese-style rifle!" Fortunately, it is a Japanese-style rifle, which has a small caliber and strong penetrating power, and the bullet passes through the body. If it is a British, French, American and German rifle, the bullet flips, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Duan Qirui's eyes narrowed, and he was murderous: "Could it be the Japanese?" ”
