Chapter 341: The Case of Assassinating Song

Wang Yaqiao, who was in charge of foreign intelligence work, did not know what kind of powerful person his subordinates were going to face, but after Akashi Motojiro was transferred to the post of deputy chief of staff and the appointment of the chief officer in charge of China's intelligence work was issued, this information was detected by the Japanese distribution of the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau.

After investigation, the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau learned that Motojiro Akashi had also fooled Sidney Reilly into working for the Japanese intelligence service, during the Russo-Japanese War, this person funded the launch of Russia in 1905**, which turned the Russian hinterland upside down, in 1904, the assassination of the Minister of Internal Affairs of Tsarist Russia Vyacheslav von Preve, and the "Sunday Massacre" in Petersburg on January 22, 1905, in which 4,600 petitioning workers were killed and wounded in one day. In addition to this, he also arranged an intelligence and communications network, plotted against Russian officers, instigated the independence movement of the three small Baltic states, met with Finnish independence leaders, obstructed the transportation of troops, secretly smuggled weapons to anti-imperialist Russian organizations, worked closely with the British government, and guided European public opinion to be friendly to Japan. To explain the relationship between Jiro Ishimoto and Yasumasa Fukushima, he was a student of Yasumasa Fukushima.

At this time, Akashi Genjiro was still serving in North Korea, he was the captain of the 14th military police, the captain of the military police stationed in South Korea, the chief of staff of the Korean garrison army and the head of the military police stationed in South Korea, the commander of the military police stationed in North Korea and the chief of police of the Korean Governor-General's Office, with the rank of major general. Of course, after returning to China and taking up the post of deputy chief of staff in charge of China's intelligence work, I believe that a war between the two countries in the field of intelligence will inevitably break out.

On 22 October, the Negoro army of Men, together with 20,000 Serbian Ibar troops, attacked the Ottoman forces in northern Thrace and northern Albania, and the Bulgarian army advanced south across the border with Serbian Ibar. The Army, located on the right flank of the Defenders' group, repelled the upper army. The 1st and 3rd Armies of the Protectors, fighting on the left flank, after repeatedly repelling the Ottoman army, defeated the 3rd Army of the Ottoman Army near Kirk-Kilishe on October 22~24 and began to advance southward. From 29 October to 3 November, fierce fighting took place in LΓΌlΓ© Burgas, in which the Ottoman Fourth Army was routed and hastily retreated.

On 24 October, the Serbian army groups launched a general offensive, and the Ottoman army groups in Macedonia were crushed. In southern Macedonia, the Greek army won a victory near Yenige on 1 and 2 November and launched an offensive against Thessaloniki, and the defenders of the city surrendered on the 9th. The Greek Navy blocked the Turkish Navy's exit from the Dardanelles Strait and carried out a campaign to seize the islands of the Aegean Sea. On 28 November, Albania declared independence. But the next few Allied military victories did not serve the interests of some of the great powers. While supporting the Balkan states, the Russian Empire was worried that the arrival of the Bulgarian army in Istanbul would not be conducive to solving the problem of the Black Sea straits. The German Empire and Austria-Hungary, on the other hand, did not want Serbia and Greece to be on the side of the Entente and therefore did not want them to be strong, but saw Turkey as their potential ally and tried to prevent the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Under pressure from the major powers, in December, the Ottoman Empire signed an armistice with Bulgaria and Serbia.

On January 23, 1913, a coup d'Γ©tat took place in the Ottoman Empire, and the new government (the Young Turks) refused to accept the terms of the peace treaty. On 3 February, the Balkan Confederation countries resumed their war. After several successive defeats, the Ottoman Empire had to sign a second armistice again, and the First Balkan War finally came to an end with the signing of the London Peace Treaty by the Balkan countries.

During this period, Yuan Shikai, the president of the Beiping Provisional Government, was rolling up his sleeves and competing with the Kuomintang for seats in the Senate and House of Representatives of the National Assembly.

On February 4, the Senate and House of Representatives of the Beiping Provisional Government were re-elected, and the Kuomintang won 392 seats, while the four major parties of the Republican, Unity, Democratic, and Iron Party won only 223 seats. According to the spirit and purpose of the "Provisional Covenant Law," Soong Jiao-jen, chairman of the Kuomintang Party, should be appointed as prime minister of the cabinet. In March, Song Jiaoren was invited by Yuan Shikai to go to Beiping to discuss the appointment of the premier of the cabinet.

20th, 10 p.m., Shanghai North Railway Station.

A young man in his thirties in a black suit and a top hat walked in from the door of the waiting room, looked left and right, found the location of the bathroom, and headed for the bathroom.

Came to the bathroom, he didn't have time to solve a personal problem, he was touched, and then a figure appeared and handed over a package with newspapers, he quietly took the package and stuffed it into his arms, and then walked into the squatting pit and closed the door, took off the newspaper, inside was a box cannon, unloaded the magazine and looked at it, the magazine was full, he loaded the magazine again and inserted the box cannon on the back of the waist to open the door and walked out.

After coming out of the bathroom, the young man pulled the brim of his top hat, bowed his head slightly and walked to the railway platform behind, at this time there was no train departure, the iron door at the entrance was closed, there was no station staff on duty, the young man turned his head left and right to look, although there were some passengers in the waiting room, but these people were basically sitting on the benches, many people had fallen asleep on the benches, he walked to the waist-high iron door at the entrance of the station, quickly turned over when people were not paying attention, and then walked quickly into the platform and disappeared.

At about 10:30 p.m., a train bound for Beiping was ready to depart, and the staff in the waiting room of the railway station opened the iron gate at the entrance of the station and began to check the tickets.

At the gate of the railway station, a car came from a distance and stopped, and several people got out of the car, they were Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing, Yu Youren, and Liao Zhongkai, who were members of the Kuomintang Party. Tonight, Song Jiaoren was going to take a train to Beiping to discuss state affairs with Yuan Shikai, and Huang Xing and others were here to see him off.

Since Xiao Zhenlei took over the power of the four southeastern provinces, the local authorities have recently deployed guards and guards at important transportation hubs such as railway stations, steamship docks, carriage and horse shops, and large bridges in order to crack down on Japan's intelligence networks in various places.

When several people came to the entrance of the waiting room, a small squad leader stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Please show your ticket and ID card, and accept the inspection!" ”

"Why do you have to check your documents?" Yu Youren hurriedly said: "This squad leader, this is Mr. Song Jiaoren, the acting chairman of our Kuomintang Party, and he is going to Beiping tonight."

The squad leader Yan said: "I don't know who Song Jiaoren is, my duty is to check the documents and tickets, and you are not allowed to enter without documents!" ”

Song Jiaoren grabbed Yu Youren, took out his ticket and documents and handed them over, and said with a smile: "Hard work, this is my documents and tickets!" ”

After checking the ticket and documents, the squad leader asked a person next to him to record it, and asked another soldier to search Song Jiaoren's body, and after making sure that he did not carry a gun or other dangerous weapons, he returned the documents and tickets to Song Jiaoren and said, "You can go in!" ”

Song Jiaoren stuffed his documents and tickets into his pocket and walked into the passage, and then the squad leader stopped Huang Xing and the others: "You can't go in, if you want to go in, you must buy a platform ticket!" ”

Huang Xing and the others looked at each other, and Liao Zhongkai hurriedly said: "We are here to send people away, why can't we go in?" ”

In order to prevent Japanese fine work from carrying out sabotage activities in our country, checkpoints are deployed at important transportation hubs such as railway stations, ship docks, carriage and horse shops, and large bridges to check the identity of passing passengers, and anyone is prohibited from carrying firearms, knives, flammable and other dangerous items on the train to threaten the safety of other passengers. ”

Only then did Huang Xing and the others understand why there were soldiers standing guard at the railway station to check, Liao Zhongkai hurriedly ran to the ticket hall and bought three platform tickets, and several people were allowed to enter and send Song Jiaoren to the platform after checking it.

Huang Xing said as he walked: "I have to say that over the past year or so, under the governance of Xiao Zhenlei, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the four southeastern provinces, the social atmosphere has improved significantly, and the people's living standards have improved significantly. ”

Song Jiaoren smiled and comforted: "Brother Keqiang doesn't have to be envious, this time our Kuomintang won a big victory in the re-election seat of the Congress, and after our Democratic Party forms a cabinet, we will definitely do better than Xiao Zhenlei!" Under the leadership of our Kuomintang Party, China will certainly be able to make the country rich and the people strong! ”

Huang Xing only felt a little bitter in his mouth when he heard this, and said, "Hope! ”

Several people talked and smiled and came to the entrance of the carriage that Song Jiaoren was going to get on, Liao Zhongkai took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said, "Brother Dunchu, the time is almost up, it's time to get on the car!" ”

Song Jiaoren nodded and turned to Huang Xing and the others: "Brother Keqiang, Youren, Zhongkai, Mr. Sun is preparing for the construction of the railway, and he has no time to take care of the party's work, after I leave, the party's affairs will be handed over to you, wait for my good news!" ”

Huang Xing stretched out his hand to hug Song Jiaoren: "At the beginning of the escape, have a smooth journey, call us as soon as possible to inform us of the news!" ”

Song Jiaoren patted Huang Xing's back and said, "I will."

At this time, no one noticed a dark barrel sticking out from a window on the train behind the side, the muzzle of the gun was facing Song Jiaoren's waist, "bang" a gunshot, a puff of green smoke came out of the muzzle, Song Jiaoren suddenly let out a muffled snort, followed by two more gunshots, and Song was shot twice again.

The passengers on the platform who were about to board the train and those who had already boarded the train heard the gunshots, and there was a sudden chaos, and the passengers on and off the train were in a state of confusion for a moment, and the passengers fled one after another, and the assassin calmly fled in the crowd.
