Chapter 490: The Military Intelligence Agency is in action

The carriage of Xiyuan Temple is a Western-style carriage, there are 2 horses pulling the carriage and 1 groom in front, but the back carriage is a little different, almost completely enclosed, you can't see anything inside from the outside, at this time there is an oil lamp lit in the carriage, so that the two people in the carriage can see each other clearly, such a carriage design is also to prevent assassination, and a layer of 15 mm iron plate is added in the middle of the wooden board of the carriage, and even the rifle bullet is difficult to penetrate.

The situation of this carriage, the agents of the Military Intelligence Agency in Tokyo also understood that the chances of success in assassinating the person sitting in the carriage with a firearm on the street were not very high, so the two action teams did not recklessly carry out the operation.

At this time, in the carriage, Saionji Gongwang said to his teacher Ito Hirobumi: "Teacher, do you say that our Great Japanese Empire still has a chance to negotiate with Lin Daxin?" After all, if the Northeast Navy and the Dingbei Army launch an attack on our Japanese mainland, it is our Japan that has withstood or even repelled their aggression, and our entire Japanese economy and industry will suffer a fatal blow, and the achievements of the decades since the Meiji Restoration will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and it will be extremely difficult for our Great Japanese Empire to rise again in the future. ”

Ito Hirobumi sighed and said: "I also understand this truth, and His Majesty the Emperor also understands, but if you were Lin Daxin this time, would you let Japan go?" ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang can only sigh a long sigh, more than 2 years ago Japan launched a war against Lin Daxin, Japan was finally defeated, not only carried out land reparations, Lin Daxin and Japan also signed a 10-year non-aggression treaty, as a result, only a few years, Japan joined the Eight-Nation Alliance. reached out to Lin Daxin's territory again.

is a person with a good temper, facing Japan's virtue of going back on his word. I also have to hate the root of my teeth, not to mention that Lin Daxin's temper is not good. If he can let go of Japan lightly this time, then Lin Daxin definitely has the potential to be a monk, without quarrel with the world and compassionate, but does Lin Daxin have it?

Then Ito Hirobumi showed a depressed expression and said: "According to the news from all sides, the Dingbei Army won an unprecedented victory in Krasnoyarsk City in Russia by virtue of their aircraft superiority, and the European countries combined with more than one million armies, and they did not hold out for a few days in Krasnoyarsk City, so that the Dingbei Army was defeated at a small price. Most of the more than one million armies of various countries were annihilated, and only a hundred thousand people fled from Krasnoyarsk in the light of the situation, and now the Dingbei Army is relying on the Trans-Siberian Railway to continue its rapid advance westward. I think it is impossible to expect the other countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance to defeat the Dingbei Army on the battlefield on the northern front, and we in Japan must step up preparations for war. ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang hesitated for a moment and said: "Teacher, if those European countries can't hold out on to the northern front battlefield within the territory of the Russian army, then our eight-nation alliance will be a complete defeat in this war." I think I can contact those countries in Europe to see if it's time to negotiate with Lin Daxin? The students thought that it would be better to negotiate before Lin Daxin sent troops to attack our Japanese mainland, although in the end we may pay a heavy price, but it is better than the Dingbei Army to attack the Japanese mainland. All our coastal cities were destroyed by those dreadnought battleships of the Northeast Navy, much stronger. ”

Ito Hirobumi nodded and said, "I also considered the possibility of negotiation, but with Lin Daxin's greedy character. His conditions for us in Japan must be something we can't afford, and I really don't think it's going to be that strong. However, it is possible to probe the tone of the ambassadors of those European countries to Japan. Let them help and ask their respective countries if they have any intention of ending the war? If those countries in Europe are ready to end this war, they want to negotiate an armistice. We in Japan can pay less in front of that greedy Lin Daxin. ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang nodded and said, "Okay, teacher, I will send someone to handle this matter." ”

Ito Hirofumi also said: "Don't delay the preparation of the whole people for war, if we can't negotiate or Lin Daxin's conditions are too harsh, we need to rely on a local defense war to protect our Japanese Empire." ”

After that, the two masters and apprentices talked about some details about the formation of millions, or even tens of millions, of the Self-Defense Force, and also exchanged plans for the factories and citizens in the port city to move inland. ”

"No need, I'll go back in the carriage by myself, you quickly gather your subordinates and start these things, we must hurry!"

"Okay, teacher, if there is something that can't be solved, the student will go and ask you for advice."

Ito Hirobumi got out of Saionji Kobo's carriage and got into his own carriage behind, his carriage was almost identical to Saionji Kobo's, and then Ito Hirobumi's carriage continued to drive ahead under the protection of 26 guards, while Saionji Kobo's carriage turned around and headed for another street, in the direction of the Prime Minister's Office.

Of the 26 guards, 24 of them were wearing Japanese Army uniforms and carrying rifles, and were sent from the Guards Division to protect Ito Hirobumi, who would serve as Ito's guards during the war, and 2 guards in black suits, who were Ito's own personal guards.

The place where Ito changed cars was not far from his residence, and shortly afterwards Ito Hirobumi's carriage turned another street and came to the street where he lived.

This street is inhabited by some Japanese military and political dignitaries, and it is impossible to live on this street without a certain identity, so this street is also relatively deserted, and ordinary people will not be idle and have nothing to do to walk on this street, and there are Japanese soldiers standing guard in front of many courtyards.

The carriage did not stop until it came to the gate of a relatively large compound, outside the gate of this courtyard stood 4 soldiers wearing Japanese army uniforms and carrying rifles, these were also officers and soldiers of the Japanese Guards Division who were ordered to protect Ito Hirobumi, and there were 25 Japanese soldiers in the courtyard, and the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division protecting Ito Hirobumi were a total of 53 Japanese Army officers and soldiers in one army squad.

After the carriage stopped, one of the personal guards stood beside the carriage and said, "Lord." We're home. ”

"Crunch-" Ito pushed open the door of the carriage. I got out of the carriage, but at this moment, the courtyard where Ito Hirobumi lived was diagonally opposite. The door of a small courtyard suddenly opened, and a group of people rushed out, without saying a word, each armed with a submachine gun or pistol, and fired at Ito Hirobumi and his guards.

The street was not wide, only a dozen meters, so that Ito Hirobumi and his guards were completely shrouded in the range of submachine guns and pistols, and in an instant, more than a dozen people, including Ito Hirobumi, fell to the ground. Including 2 body guards who are by Hirobumi Ito's side.

"There are assassins! There are assassins! Protect Your Excellency Ito! ”

The four soldiers of the Guards Division standing outside the gate of the courtyard immediately shouted, and quickly brought their rifles to the front of them from behind, but before the four of them had time to pull the bolt urgently, they were hit by a dense submachine gun bullet, and they all fell at the gate.

And the remaining guards who protect Hirobumi Ito. Because the rifles were carried behind their backs, it was not so easy to shoot, so no one could successfully return fire, and all the guards were hit by the Assassins' bullets one after another. They all fell to the ground, but they were not directly killed, but they were also seriously injured. I could only fall to the ground and hum.

One of the first members of the group of assassins quickly approached Ito Hirobumi who had fallen to the ground, but Ito was not dead. Lying on the ground in agony, the assassin quickly aimed his submachine gun at Hirobumi Ito. "Da Da Da-" pulled the trigger, and a dozen bullets hit Ito Hirobumi's body, this time Ito Hirobumi was definitely dead and couldn't die again.

After confirming that Ito had been killed, the leading Assassin waved his hand and shouted, "Withdraw!" Then the group of assassins ran to the small courtyard where they came out, ignoring the guards on the ground who were still humming, and the whole assassination operation had not passed for a minute until now.

At this time, the door of Ito's house was opened, and the soldiers of the Japanese Guards Division inside heard the gunfire and rushed out to support.

However, as soon as the gate was opened, some of the assassins suddenly threw several grenades at the gate, and after a burst of explosion, several soldiers of the Japanese Guards Division fell down at the gate, and the soldiers behind them quickly fell to the ground.

"Yaga! Get up! Get up! Rush out and protect Your Excellency Ito! The squad leader yelled.

The Japanese soldiers quickly got up and continued to rush out of the gate, this time they rushed out smoothly, but by this time the group of assassins had already retreated into the small courtyard diagonally opposite, and they only saw the back of the last assassin, and disappeared in a flash at the entrance of the small courtyard diagonally opposite.

As soon as the squad leader of the Japanese Guards Division saw the tragic scene outside, he fainted in fright, and the former Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, whom he had ordered to protect, fell in a pool of blood, and his unwilling eyes were not closed, looking straight at the blue sky.

After the group of assassins entered the small courtyard diagonally opposite, they did not stop at all, and continued to run behind the small courtyard, and the group of assassins came to the wall behind the small courtyard, and one by one they jumped over the wall and jumped into an alley, and then the group of people came to a lively street along the alley, and soon dispersed and merged into the crowd.

The squad leader of the Guards Division and his soldiers chased into the small courtyard diagonally opposite Ito Hirobumi's house, and found that the original owner of this small courtyard, a high-ranking official of the agricultural department, and a family of more than 20 people, including servants, had all been killed.

The team leader and the soldiers found the back wall and the alley outside the wall, and then chased the soldiers down the alley to the street, where they could no longer chase them, and the pedestrians on the street did not know where the assassins had fled.

The group of assassins was the two operational teams of the Military Intelligence Agency in Tokyo, Japan, and 24 people completed the task of assassinating Ito Hirobumi unscathed, and shortly before they assassinated Ito Hirobumi, in another residential area of dignitaries in Tokyo, Japanese Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu was also assassinated and killed at the sight of his home, and the other MIA operational team responsible for the assassination, 12 agents still did not lose anything.

Saionji returned to his prime minister's residence, and before his ass was hot in the chair, he received the news that his teacher Hirobumi Ito and Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu had been assassinated almost at the same time, and he immediately slipped from the chair to the ground in shock.

After a few minutes of slowing down to accept this cruel reality, Saionji Gongwang, holding back his grief, immediately ordered the army units in Tokyo City to immediately blockade the entire Tokyo, arrest a suspicious person, and added the guards of the Guards Division to the high-ranking officials in Tokyo, of course, his own protection force was strengthened a lot.

After the outbreak of the war, the troops of the 1st Wing of the Guards Division were stationed around the palace, plus the royal guards of nearly 1,000 people, the palace should be very safe.

However, when such a major event happened, Saionji Gongwang was still ready to report to His Majesty the Emperor immediately, and after learning the general situation of the two assassination scenes, Saionji Gongwang rushed to the Tokyo Imperial Palace under the protection of a large number of guards.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the current situation in Japan is very difficult, and it has lost two political cadres all of a sudden, especially Ito Hirobumi, who can be described as a figure like a Japanese think tank, was assassinated at the door of his home, which can be regarded as even worse for Japan in the storm.

Emperor Meiji had been in a depressed mood, because Japan's national preparations for war had become much better, and after the departure of the five important ministers, Emperor Meiji suddenly felt some appetite, so he had a big meal accompanied by the imperial concubine Shoko Sono.

The man was full, and there was a beautiful woman beside him, and Emperor Meiji hadn't shown his majesty in bed for many days, at this time a fire in his heart suddenly came up, and then Emperor Meiji withdrew his servants, and the imperial concubine Shoko Yuan rolled onto the bed.

Just when Emperor Meiji was about to let his little Ding Ding enter the cave, he heard someone shouting outside, and suddenly shrank back the little Ding Ding who had been erected so hard.

Emperor Meiji put on his clothes and walked outside with a blue face, he was going to let the person who shouted and screamed be punished severely, but when he came outside, he found that the person who was shouting turned out to be his prime minister, Saionji Gongwang.

Seeing Emperor Meiji, the prince of Saionji suddenly burst into tears and shouted, "Emperor, my teacher has been assassinated and killed!" (To be continued......)
