On 9 September, the British newspaper The Times carried the news of Chang Kaishen's assassination on the front page. In addition to describing the news of Chang Kaishen's assassination in a few simple sentences, the rest of the space is a large narrative analyzing who is the most likely murderer of Chang Kaishen.

There are several suspects mentioned in the article: Chang Kaishen's various warlords and political enemies in China, communists, killers sent by Soviet Russia, etc., but if you read this article carefully, readers can easily feel that the suspects mentioned above are all pulled over to make up the numbers, because there is another suspect who is the most eye-catching, that is, Japan.

The article devotes two-thirds of the article to analyzing Japan's current poor economic situation, its ambitions for China, especially for Northeast China, which were exposed by the Nakamura incident in Northeast China not long ago, and the various benefits brought to Japan by Chang Kaishen's assassination. The whole article is simply telling the reader that Japan is the most likely murderer of Chang Kaishen, because killing Chang Kaishen can lead China back to a large-scale warlord civil war, so that Japan can benefit.

At the end of the article, the author of the article even made a prediction about the situation in China: Chang Kaishen's assassination was just a prelude to Japan's war against China, and it took the opportunity to lead to a new round of warlord melee in China. He even claimed that in a month at most, everyone would see Japan stirring up trouble in the Northeast.

Not only the Times, but also the "New York Times" of the United States appeared in a similar article on the same day, but the author pointed out in the article that this qiē was all a Japanese conspiracy, and even the author nervously gambled that he had obtained reliable information from China and found evidence of the presence of Japanese agents at the scene of the murder weapon.

The newspapers of France and Germany on the same day also pointed out that Japan was the biggest suspect, and the reason was the same: Japan was the person who benefited the most from this assassination. The proof is that in the next month or two, Japan will definitely provoke trouble in China, especially in Northeast China, and start a war of aggression against China. In China's domestic newspapers, there are similar voices.

From the very beginning, public opinion in various countries has overwhelmingly accused Japan of being the most likely culprit.

After the news in the newspaper was published, the whole world was in an uproar, and Ishihara Waner, Itagaki Seishiro and others, who were secretly planning the Kwantung Army's "solo walk" in the northeast, received the news, and at that time there were 1,000 "red deer noro" running by in their minds at that time.

Ishihara roared angrily: "Bagayalu, the person who wrote this article is the real murderer!" ”

Ishihara Til's pure roaring vent inadvertently pointed out the truth.

Public opinion in various countries is almost overwhelmingly insinuating and even explicitly accusing Japan of being the most likely murderer of Chang Kaishen, which is entirely the result of Lin Han's behind-the-scenes planning. Long before leaving for China, Lin Han wrote the manuscript of the "assassination commentary" in the American, British, and French media, and handed it over to Hannah to handle on his behalf. These articles, which almost all accuse Japan of being the murderer, are all ghosts carried out by Lin Han behind the scenes.

Lin Han spent a lot of effort pouring dirty water on Japan in propaganda and public opinion, because he wanted to postpone or even delusionally prevent the outbreak of the 918 incident, although he himself thought in his heart that it was impossible to succeed in stopping the 918 incident, but he was always unwilling not to try.

The invasion of China, starting with the occupation of Manchuria, Mongolia and Northeast China, was Japan's "basic national policy" after World War I, and the only dispute was only the difference between encroachment and whale swallowing.

In 1931, the global economic crisis also affected Japan, and Japan was in an extremely difficult situation. The Japanese government was anxious to start a war against China in order to divert the attention of the people at home and ease class contradictions. The "solitude" of Ishihara Wanji and Itagaki Seishiro's "Japanese characteristics" only accelerated this process.

Lin Han's hand in international propaganda undoubtedly brought a lot of trouble to Ishihara Wan'er, who was planning "918", but this was only trouble. In his heart, Lin Han also understood this, and his highest expectation for playing this hand was only to hope that the time of the 918 Storm could be postponed, even if it was delayed for half a year or a few months. According to Lin Han's assumption, when Japan is now facing the accusation of assassinating other countries' brains, its military action against Northeast China can only be temporarily suspended.

Less than an hour after Chang Kaishen's assassination, the agents of the Blue Coat Society found Lin Han's sniper location, where they found an abandoned sniper rifle (with the scope removed) and various clues left by Lin Han.

Lin Han's two shots, the first shot opened a penetrating skylight hole in Chang Kaishen's stomach, and the second shot penetrated his guard before hitting his left chest.

Chang Kaishen didn't leave a word of his last words, so he burped on the spot. After the incident, the entire garrison headquarters was in chaos. This time to "suppress bandits", Chang Kai applied for military experts from Britain, Germany, and Japan to help, but as soon as the sniper rifle rang out, these people all became witnesses at the scene. The British, German, and Japanese military advisers at the scene were all people with a keen sense of smell, and they immediately realized that as soon as Chang Kaishen died, China's political situation was about to change, and the military advisers of the three countries almost immediately notified their subordinates to transmit the news back to China as soon as possible.

At this moment, the headquarters of the "bandits" camp is in chaos. He Yingqin, who was in Nanchang, took a lot of effort to suppress the situation, and then blocked the whole city, although the order to search for the murderer was issued, but at this moment his mind was completely out of the hands of arresting the murderer.

Chang Kaishen was suddenly assassinated and died violently, leaving a huge power vacuum, and who will sit in this position is undoubtedly a big question full of **. In the view of He Yingqin, the No. 2 person in the Huangpu Department of the Nationalist Government, Wang Jingwei and Wang Zhaoming, who stayed behind in Nanjing, were undoubtedly the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the pinnacle of power.

When He Yingqin started to think carefully, the powerful military leaders under Chang Kaishen, the division commanders, the army commanders, and those who had military power in their hands also fell into confusion about the future after losing their allegiance to their masters

Although Nanchang City has done a great job of searching for the murderer, and has the courage to dig three feet into the ground to find out the real murderer, in fact, the senior officials of the artillery party in Nanchang City are completely focused on this matter, and everyone is thinking about their future future. For them, who killed Chang Kaishen is not the most important thing, what really matters is who can take over Chang Kaishen's class.

The "old king" suddenly fell, and the new lord had not yet ascended the throne, whose thigh should he hold, which master he should go to, or set himself up as the king, which became a problem that everyone in Chang Kaishen's family of forces had to face.

Not only is there a great internal turmoil among the people of Chang Kaishen's faction, but the powerful warlords in various parts of China have also begun to think carefully at this moment. While they were ecstatic in their hearts, they made a gesture of "let me show a sad expression", took out onions and squeezed them in their eyes, and shed two tears of "uncomfortable" (uncomfortable, not sad) for Chang Kaishen, but at the same time, they began to contact the powerful military leaders under Chang Kaishen who held military power, and started the idea of embezzling the territory of the "Chang family" warlords.

As for Chang Kaishen's former background backers, the comprador consortium of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebols is also in chaos at the moment. The "Standing Committee Chairman," whom they had worked so hard to raise to protect their interests, was actually shot out with two shots, and all the investments they had made in front of them were wasted. In the just-concluded civil war in the Central Plains, Chang Kaishen was able to suppress the warlords of the Feng, Yan, and Li lines, not because he could fight, but because he had money. Now that Chang Kaishen has fallen, they are "uncomfortable" and sad, but they also have to find a new support object.

When the upper echelons of the Nationalist Government were in chaos because of Chang Kaishen's sudden death, the bandit armies of all walks of life at the forefront were even more chaotic at this moment because they lost the unified command of the rear. The top leaders of the Artillery Party, who were busy fighting for power and profit, had no intention of "suppressing bandits" at this time.

Originally, in the real history without traversers, this period of time was the turning point when the Red Army counterattacked with all its might, eating Chang Kaishen's army of bandits one by one in a few days, and smashing the third encirclement and suppression. As soon as Chang Kaishen died, there were no insects, and the 300,000 bandit army that had penetrated into the Soviet area was in chaos.

According to Chang Kaishen's habit of borrowing a knife to kill people, every time he sent a large army into the central Soviet region to "suppress bandits," the method he used was to "descend" the central army to suppress the formation, and the miscellaneous troops to explore the way forward. In the name of the righteousness of the central authorities, driving away the miscellaneous armies and the Red Army to merge with each other, such a practice has the style of "the imperial army entering the village" in the future, and this time is no exception. Now that Chang Kaishen died violently, the central army who pressed the battle was in great confusion and had no intention of fighting, and the local miscellaneous army was also unwilling to sell their lives as cannon fodder, and the 300,000 bandit army did not cooperate with each other, and they retreated together in unison. In the next half month, the Red Army under the command of Li Runshi seized the opportunity to continue to pursue and fight, one by one, each one was broken, eight battles and eight victories, and more than 30,000 guns were surrendered.

Chang Kaishen's anti-bandit troops are already full of contradictions with each other, with Chang Kaishen pressing on top, they can barely cooperate, and now that they are bald, they will immediately return to their nature, who wants to be a fool to fight with the Red Army? It doesn't matter if you can't outrun the pursuing Red Army, as long as you can outrun the friendly forces that are lagging behind. The 300,000 troops that came out of the Communist Party were driven out of the Soviet area like pigs by more than 30,000 Red Army. After finally escaping the pursuit of the Red Army, the division commanders and brigade commanders of the participating families inspected their respective units, and all of them wanted to cry without tears, and the lightest losses were hundreds of people and countless guns were lost. Except for those who were surrounded by the Red Army and could not escape from being completely annihilated and crushed by heavy losses, the rest of the losses were scattered in the rout. In the process, countless military supplies were lost, and the Red Army chasing behind them only hated that they had two hands and had no time to pick up the leaks.

As soon as Chang Kaishen left, the clumsy performance of the 300,000 "bandits" army born in Jiangxi was not taken seriously by anyone except themselves in 1931. At this time, whether it was the headquarters of the bandits in Nanchang or the government in Nanjing, all forces were busy dividing and competing for a large amount of political inheritance left by Chang Kaishen after his violent death. In the September storm triggered by Chang Kaishen's assassination, the fighting on the front line of Jiangxi's bandit suppression was ignored by most people.

On September 8, 1931, Chang Kaishen's assassination was only the beginning of a series of events that followed, and only two days later, while the aftermath of the bombing was still rippling, another major event that shocked China followed.

The birthplace of the incident was in Beijing, and the residence of Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal who was a warlord, was subjected to unknown shelling.
