Beijing, Zhongnanhai Jurentang.

Sun Yat-sen, Chang Ruiqing, and Kolchak had already walked into the banquet hall, Sun Yat-sen was wearing a gray uniform with a somewhat strange style, a bit like a student uniform, and a bit like a military uniform, wearing a blue sky and white sun badge on his chest, walking in the first one, waving to everyone as he walked. Chang Ruiqing was one step behind him, wearing the uniform of a general of the Wehrmacht, wearing several medals on his chest, carrying a Western-style command knife in his waist, and a golden tassel on his shoulder. Next to him was Kolchak, dressed in a white naval uniform, the ruling power of the Russian Provisional Government with a perpetual face, a pair of eagle eyes that revealed a melancholy gaze.

The three of them are probably going to make some statement, and a podium has been set up at the entrance of the banquet hall, will there be a monthly pass from the 261st chaos onwards? Okay, megaphone. Seeing the three of them walking towards the podium, everyone gradually quieted down, waiting for them to speak.

Natalie frowned and looked at the three of them gloomily. She's discerning the real from the fake, and in an era where it's common for leaders of certain countries to use stand-ins in public to avoid assassinations. Natalie recognized Kolchak at first glance that Kolchak was not pretending, probably that kind of water chestnut face is really difficult to find someone with a similar appearance to pretend, right? However, she is not very sure about Chang Ruiqing and Sun Yat-sen. Just as in the eyes of the Orientals, the faces of Europeans all look similar, Natalie is also very clear about the faces of the Orientals, and at present, the printing level of Chinese newspapers is limited, so photos are rarely published. Natalie has only seen the "standard portraits" of Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing posted in public, but this thing is not the same thing as a real person: "Friends from the distant Russian Republic, I, Sun Wen, on behalf of the government and people of the ancient China, welcome your arrival. At a time when there is still a brutal civil war, repression and persecution going on in Russia, we have a banquet like this, which shows a little disrespect for those who are suffering. But will there be a monthly pass from the 261st chaos onwards? It is I who would like to tell all the ......people on such an occasion that the Nationalist Government of China, the Kuomintang of China, and the GCD of China "have an attitude towards you Russian friends who have temporarily left their homeland" about the Russian Civil War.

Natalie shifted her gaze to the civil and military officials in the banquet hall, and saw that each of them seemed to have a look of piety and reverence on their faces. It's like when the Russians see Lenin,

Trotsky's time! It seems that the little old man who is talking should be Sun Yat-sen himself. Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, and slammed the tall glass in her hand to the ground!

A crisp bang was the signal for the Assassin's actions! The three Cheka warriors, who had been waiting for a long time and were a little impatient, pulled out without hesitation. The pistol in the bag was aimed at Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing on the podium and pulled the trigger!

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! After a burst of gunshots, Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing were each hit by several bullets in the chest and abdomen, and the two immediately fell to the ground screaming. The banquet hall was in chaos, with the screams of women, the angry scolding of men, and the voices of shouting guards and doctors.

Natalie also screamed along with the women, as if in a panic running into the corner, but her eyes kept scanning the banquet hall, looking for a chance to escape.

Chang Ruiqing's wife, Wang Ruonan, cried her husband's name loudly and rushed in the direction of the podium regardless of a single qiē. To be honest, our Changda Ge family is definitely a big carrot."

The number of mistresses or little wives is estimated to break through double digits soon! is somewhat snub to this genuine lady, but Wang Ruonan's love for her husband is still the same, if she can let herself be bulleted instead of her husband, she will not hesitate to come forward!

However, she is not the first woman to rush to her husband's side, "That woman is actually a thirteen-year-old Xiao Luo lì Sun Yuexun!" This Xiao Luo was originally standing next to Song Qingling, and when the assassination occurred, she was much farther away from the podium than Wang Ruonan! I don't know how she rushed through the chaotic crowd? However, this little Luo lì did not pounce on Chang Ruiqing and cry, but knelt in front of him and covered him with his body! Because at this time, the shootout has already started in the banquet hall!

The two sisters, Zhao Xiang'er and Zhao Sanmei, both held the position of Chang Ruiqing's guards, so they entered the banquet hall with a pistol. The moment the gunshots rang out, the two women subconsciously pulled out their pistols and opened fire on the three assassins, killing one of them in one fell swoop!

Immediately afterward, the other guards in ambush in the banquet hall also opened fire, and the two remaining assassins were shot dead in a short time. Others rushed to Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing's side, lifted them up with all their hands, and ran outside the banquet hall. Kolchak of the Russian Provisional Government was not shot, "and he also knows a little first aid, so he went out to help rescue, but I don't know if he can save the lives of the two?"

The two men who were shot did not seem to die immediately, but they were already unconscious.

Kolchak did a cursory examination, and the two of them were each hit by three bullets, and all of them were critical!

Blood gushed out of the wounds, "staining a large area of red clothes!" It seems that his little bit of three-legged cat medicine is useless. He hurriedly ordered the Russian guards around him to go to the banquet hall to find a few really skilled White Russian doctors, and a few Russian guards had just left. Wang Ruonan and Sun Yuexun The two women ran out with each other's arms, Wang Ruonan's face was full of tears, and Chang Duanqing and Sun Yat-sen, who were lying flat on the ground, only glanced at them, and immediately sighed and stopped crying.

"Sister Ruonan, this is ......" Xiao Luo also seemed to see that something was wrong, and a surprised expression appeared on her face.

"They're stand-ins!" Wang Ruonan turned to the Chinese and Russian medical personnel who rushed to the scene and ordered: "You must do your best to save their lives, just as you are saving the life of the leader himself!" ”

Then she nodded gratefully to Xiao Luo, and said softly, "Sister Yuexun, you were really brave just now. At this time, her eyes noticed the badge of the Left People's Research Association on Sun Yuexun's chest. Sun Yuexun also proudly straightened up her chest that had not yet fully developed, pointed to the bright red medal and said: "I am also a believer in Zuomin, and I can dedicate myself to him at any time!" ”

Hearing the word "dedication" and looking at the bright and delicate girl's face, Wang Ruonan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she already felt that she might have another "sister".

At the time of the assassination, Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing were having dinner with Foreign Minister Wang Zhengting and a friend of Sun Yat-sen's "Japan" Miyazaki, in the Xihuā Hall not far from Jurentang.

Miyazaki is now also a special envoy, but this time he represents the Japanese Army, which advocates the occupation of the Republic of Cimbellia and the war with Soviet Russia. At present, the mainland policy of the "Japan" Army is not very consistent with their government, and the "Japan Army" that the "10-year peace national policy" that the "Japan" government is trying to implement is even more disgusted from top to bottom! War Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka, as well as his historical opponent, Yusaku Uehara, chief of the Army General Staff Headquarters, now advocate the "Japan-Russia theory of a quick war." The approximate meaning is that the Russo-Japanese War was fought early and the peace was early!

The main reason that prompted these two army giants to openly put forward the "theory of a quick war between Japan and Russia" was that relations between Soviet Russia and its western neighbor Poland had become increasingly tense.

Pilsudski in Poland seems to be preparing to launch a war aimed at seizing Belarus and Ukraine, taking advantage of the fact that Soviet Russia is still in its prime! In addition, the Polish side had their delegates at the Paris Peace Conference make secret contacts with the Japanese delegation, and proposed a plan for the two countries to jointly launch an east-west attack on Soviet Russia. Of course, the Japanese army is very interested in this, thinking that it is a godsend opportunity to defeat Soviet Russia and seize the Republic of Cimbilia in one fell swoop!

However, after all, Soviet Russia is a traditional power, and even if Poland and Japan join forces, they may not necessarily be sure of victory. Therefore, Tanaka Yoshiichi and Uehara Yusaku wanted to pull the country into the water again, so they invited Sun Yat-sen's friend Miyazaki to come to the country as lobbyists to test the meaning of Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing.

But the result of the temptation is obviously not understood, whether it is Sun Yat-sen or Chang Ruiqing, they are all vague and there is no quasi-letter, and Wang Gu always talks about him left and right. When he was pulling around, he faintly heard the sound of gunshots, and then Deng Tianyi, the chief of Sun Yat-sen's guard, pushed the door and rushed in to report: "Sir, there is an assassination in Jurentang!" Both stand-ins were seriously injured! ”

Sun Pingshan put down the wine glass in his hand, frowned and asked, "What about General Kolchak?" ”

Deng Tianyi reported: "General Kolchak was not injured, and the target of the assassins should be Mr. and Yaoshuai." ”

Chang Ruiqing's face was already gloomy, and he was now more and more disgusted with assassination or something! He hurriedly asked, "Is there anyone else injured?" Did the assassins catch it? ”

Deng Tianyi shook his head: "No one else was injured, the three assassins were all Russians, and they have all been killed!" ”

Miyazaki slapped the table and shouted with righteous indignation: "It must be the hand of the Russian Bolsheviks!" They want the lives of Mr. Sun and General Chang! No, they want China to plunge into civil strife again, and they want to take advantage of the chaos to use their Bolshevism to redden China! He said loudly to Sun Yat-sen: "Mr. Sun! For such a dangerous enemy, you must not be soft, you should immediately form an alliance with the [Japan] Empire and fight against it together! ”

Chang Ruiqing and Sun Yat-sen glanced at each other, and when they didn't know how to answer Miyazaki. There was a disturbance outside the door, and Song Qingling, Wang Ruonan, and Sun Yuexun rushed in breathlessly. As soon as he saw that Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing were safe and sound, he cried and told about the scene in the banquet hall of Juren Hall just now. When Wang Ruonan mentioned that Xiao Luo lì Sun Yuexun used his body to block the injured "Chang Ruiqing" and "Sun Yat-sen", Chang Ruiqing also rarely cast a grateful glance at her.

"Mr. Sun, the most important thing now is to calm people's hearts." After listening to Wang Ruonan's introduction, Chang Ruiqing frowned and reminded: "Now we must let the outside, especially the high-level in the army, know that the two of us are safe and sound, otherwise I am afraid that rumors will spread and people with ulterior motives will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble." There is also a curfew in the Beijing-Tianjin area......"

"Do you want to close down the Russian Consulate General in Beijing?" Sun Yat-sen asked in a calm voice.

"Not yet." Chang Ruiqing shook his head and said: "Until the truth of this matter is clarified, we still have to maintain relations with Soviet Russia." It is not yet time to break up. He turned his head to look at Miyazaki and said with a wry smile: "After all, Soviet Russia is a strong country, and the border between China and Russia stretches for thousands of miles......

On the Eastern Front, we can join forces with Japan to resist Russia, but on the Western Front, we can only fight alone. So before we thoroughly reorganize the national defense forces and deploy the affairs of the north-western frontier. Relations with Soviet Russia should always be maintained as much as possible. ”

Miyazaki shook his head and wanted to say something. Sun Yat-sen was the first to interject: "Whether or not to break with Soviet Russia or not is still to be considered in the long run." The most urgent task now is to reassure people's hearts. ”

He stood up and walked up to Chang Ruiqing, patted his arm, and said gently: "Now that the troops around Beijing and Tianjin are under the control of the Zhangjiakou Military Commission, you still have to hurry back to Zhangjiakou."

First of all, settle the morale of the army. There is also the border defense problem of Mongolia: "I am afraid that Soviet Russia may take the opportunity to attack Mongolia!" We must make arrangements so that we can go south with peace of mind. ”

Chang Ruiqing stood up, gave a military salute to Sun Yat-sen, and was about to turn around and leave.

Sun Yat-sen's secretary general, Wang Jingwei, suddenly rushed in angrily, he saw that Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing were all right, and he also sighed softly, but then shouted loudly: "Sir! Something is wrong! A suicide bomb attack has just occurred at the gates of the Palace of Versailles in Paris! Special Envoy Cao Rushuang and Special Envoy Kikujiro Ishii of [Japan] were assassinated at the same time! And there were also newspapers who claimed to be the spokesmen of the Red Brigade who called the French and said that the Red Brigade was responsible for the attack! ”

At this moment, everyone's faces changed greatly. Foreign Minister Wang Zhengting stood up suddenly, looked at Chang Ruiqing and said, "General Yaoru, is this the Red Brigade doing?" Bombing at the Paris Peace Conference was no joke: "If you don't get it right, it's a situation in which the great powers are discussing together!" ”

As soon as he said this, even Sun Yat-sen set his eyes on Chang Ruiqing: "Yaoru, isn't your Red Brigade already disbanded?" Could it be that someone is acting in the name of the Red Brigade? ”

Miyazaki shook his head and said: "The death of an envoy is not a big deal, as long as the Japanese side is not investigated, Britain and France will not meddle in their affairs!" Now, as long as China and Japan form an anti-Russian alliance, the Japanese Army will naturally suppress this matter! ”

But Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing shook their heads at the same time, and Sun Yat-sen said: "It's not time for the anti-Russian thing yet, and now we have to stabilize the situation first." He said to Chang Ruiqing: "You hurry up and let Bid go."

If you make a statement denying that you directed the attack, you yourself will make a statement denying it...... In addition, it is better to stabilize the army, or hurry to Zhangjiakou, by the way, you must pay attention to safety on the road. ”

Chang Ruiqing nodded, and also said to Sun Yat-sen: "Mr. should also pay attention to safety......" He suddenly remembered something, and turned his eyes to Sun Yuexun on the side, wanting to speak, but he didn't know what to say, and finally sighed, and gave a military salute to Sun Yat-sen, and left the West Huā Hall with Wang Ruonan. However, he did not go to Zhangjiakou immediately, but returned to Sizhaotang, where he was stationed in Zhongnanhai, and used the telephone there to hang up the telephone to the commanders and division commanders of several armies near Beijing and Tianjin to report their safety, and then used the cipher code to contact Chen Duxiu, Wu Shi, Bai Chongxi, Pan Yu, Cheng, Mao Zd, Zhou Elai and others in Nanjing.

And after Sun Yat-sen sent away Miyazaki, "he was also busy hanging a long distance for Hu Hanmin and Xu Chongzhi who stayed in Nanjing, and Jiang J Shi, who was sitting in Shenyang." At this time, the most fearful thing is chaos, so you must let your subordinates know that they are safe. When he hung up the phone, senior Kuomintang officials in the Beijing area, as well as diplomats from the United States, Japan, Britain, France, and other countries came to greet them, and Sun Yat-sen met them in his study, "so that they could see with their own eyes a lively Sun Da's chair."

With such a hectic arrangement, most of the night has passed. When this kind of thing happened, Sun Yat-sen couldn't sleep, "so he talked with Wang Jingwei, Dai Jitao, Song Qingling, and Wang Zhengting in their own study while drinking *coffee, discussing the current situation that is about to become a mess at home and abroad."

Of course, the situation is very bad" and it seems to be shrouded in a fog, and no one knows where the way out is? I just think it's going to be a messy situation right now. And only Sun...

If the two of them quarrel again, I'm afraid that the country that has finally settled down will be in chaos again! As for the terrorist attack in Paris, several people think that it was not Chang Ruiqing's handiwork, but most likely Soviet Russia is playing ghosts! However, it is also worrying about what measures will be taken, and I wonder if they will continue to promote normality. In short, the current situation is a mess, and no one knows what the future holds.

A few people talked and talked all night like this, and the morning light outside the window spilled in.

Sun Yat-sen felt a little sleepy, so he asked everyone to go back and rest for a while, so that he could sleep well.

Song Qingling got up to send everyone out, and as soon as a few people left, they saw Xiao Luo lì Sun Yuexun carefully walking in with a glass of milk, followed by a servant, holding a few snacks, it seemed that he was going to serve Sun Yat-sen for breakfast.

"Sir (her daughter has no name, so she can't be called an old tease), I asked someone to prepare some breakfast for you." Not only is the appearance of Xiao Luo very likable, but the voice is also as crisp as a silver bell. Sun Yat-sen smiled and nodded, and when he took the milk from his daughter's hand, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw his daughter's student wearing a pinned badge. Frowning, he drank the milk in one go, and ate a few snacks, and suddenly felt a heavy sleepiness, so he waved his hand to let Xiao Luo lì retreat, and let his personal servant help him go to bed in the bedroom next door...............,!!!
