Chapter 34: October 8 (1)
As the time entered October, the temperature in Mukden gradually began to cool, but the anger in Hannah's heart continued to rise as the temperature decreased. As angry as she is, it is Ishihara Wan'er who planned 918.
With He Yingqin becoming the commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces, the political situation in China began to become clearer. The warlord forces on all sides, you look at me, I look at you, and no one wants to be the first to challenge the weakened permanent system. Britain and the United States, for the sake of their own interests, also joined hands at this time, made empty checks, and gave He Yingqin "verbal cannon" support in diplomacy and propaganda, and with Britain and the United States backing him, Tokyo could not induce He Yingqin to sign a treaty similar to the "21 Articles"; on the other hand, Zhang Xueliang in the northeast was also unable to enter the country, and no matter how the Japanese envoy encouraged him, he would not move.
The shape of China began to spread in a direction that the Japanese did not want to see. In this case, the voice of "rush attack" gradually became louder again, and during this time, the unwilling Ishihara Wan'er kept lobbying in the Kwantung Army garrison outside Mukden City, and the wind of "going alone" rose again.
But the person who really lit the fuse of the war was not Ishihara Waner, but Hannah.
In the early morning of October 6, 1931, a fire broke out in a warehouse in Mukden, destroying a large pile of supplies. The warehouse, which belonged to the Manchurian Railway (South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd.), was killed in the fire by the owner of the warehouse and several Japanese employees. When the scene was cleaned up afterwards, traces of stab wounds were found on the body.
And the person who did this qiē was the SS special forces commanded by Hannah.
Since "918" refused to "arrive on time", it created a new excuse to send it to the Japanese and asked them to move the new 918, and this qiē was carried out without Lin Han.
After the case was born, Ishihara Wan'er and his group, who couldn't find an excuse to attack Mukden, were suddenly overjoyed, and they were really asleep and someone sent pillows.
On the same day, the special envoy of the Kwantung Army stationed in Mukden issued a notice to Zhang Zuoxiang, who was left behind, limiting him to crack the case and hand over the murderer before 24 hours, that is, 12 o'clock on 7 October, otherwise the Kwantung Army would send a large army into Mukden to carry out the operation of "protecting overseas Chinese."
But how is this possible?
At 12 o'clock on 7 October, the Japanese side reluctantly agreed to extend the extension for another 24 hours under the representations of the Chinese side, but this was only a cover-up. The middle and lower echelons of the Kwantung Army, led by Seishiro Itagaki, were determined to go alone at this time. For the middle- and lower-ranking officers of the Kwantung Army, although it was a prudent "good policy" to encroach on and delay the attack on China, the credit was taken by the upper echelons, and it was more in the interests of the Sixth Army, who had been brainwashed by militarist ideology, to go their own way, causing a fait accompli to swallow up and attack urgently.
Militarism is a cannibalistic monster, and in order to evade responsibility, the Japanese upper class deliberately indulges the middle and lower classes to "go alone".
In the history of 918, it was Ishihara's "solitary walk" that gave his "juniors" a bad start and became an example for the junior staff officers to worship and imitate. Those juniors of Ishihara only have the ambition of promotion and wealth, but they do not have Ishihara's talent. Shi Yuan became famous in one fell swoop for engaging in a "Manchurian Incident", and you will and I will too, so the big guys swarmed up, and all kinds of "incidents" were like dog pee moss after the rain, and the middle and lower-level officers continued to "go alone", so that Japan, a monster, in the future war of aggression against China, constantly "missed" the good opportunity to digest the territory and encroach on China, and finally fell into the "Chinese quagmire" where greed was not enough to swallow the elephant and break the belly.
The history that was shattered by Lin Han was finally pulled back to the original point under the inevitability of history and the unintentional cooperation of Hannah and Ishihara. The arrows have been wound, and the bow has been bent even more, to the point where it has to be.
At the same time, Zhang Xueliang, who was temporarily "raised" by Lin Hansan's cannonballs last month, wilted back after a month of tranquility. He telegraphed Zhang Zuoxiang to negotiate with the Japanese, find out the murderer, and severely punish him to confess. If the Japanese provoke them, they should endure again and again, and they should not start a war without permission.
In the early morning of October 7, Lin Han, who had woken up, was shocked when he received the news that Hannah had sent someone to hear that the Japanese warehouse had caught fire and had "burned" several Japanese to death. Lin Han hurriedly found Hannah, and after driving away the unrelated people around him, he immediately asked her face if the matter had anything to do with her, and Hannah admitted it without reservation.
Lin Han roared loudly at Hannah, "You bastard woman, how can you do such a thing!" ”
Hannah replied without anger, "Because I need that money, and you need that money, and you need that gold more than I do." In fact, deep in your heart, you hope that 918 can explode while we are still here, because then you can get that gold. ”
"Damn it!"
Lin Han, who came in a rage, instantly became dumbfounded, forming part of Hannah's consciousness, which is the rationality of Lin Han's own soul, and she can always tell the deepest and darkest part of his heart.
Hannah said coldly to Lin Han: "If Zhang Xueliang transferred the gold away earlier after your shelling, I would have no choice." But in the past month, he has not done anything, he is still deluding himself with illusions, and you also have illusions about him and his scumbag Northeast Army. The goddess of victory does not favor delusional people who deceive herself. Do you understand that the current Northeast Army is a scum with an out-and-out combat effectiveness of only five, but you delusionally think that those three shells can transform the Northeast Army, is this possible? One soldier is a bear, and there will be a nest of bears, and their leader is a ** ghost Zhang Ershao, and now it is this kind of attitude at both ends of the snake and rat, to paraphrase the Japanese evaluation of them after the war, it is just a local chicken and a dog! As long as the Japanese wanted, they could take Shenyang in one day. The later 918 dragged on, the more prepared the Japanese became, and the more difficult it would be for us to get that batch of gold, and that batch of gold could be of greatest use in your hands. ”
Most of what Hannah said was Lin Han's cognition. Unlike Lin Han, who is still human and full of emotion, Hannah has a "belligerent" nature, but most of her personality comes from Lin Han's rationality. In those days when she was one with Lin Han, Hannah's consciousness and will were inadvertently eroded by Lin Han. At the beginning, she told Lin Han that the two of them were actually the same person, which was not wrong at this point.
Hannah said what was hidden in his heart, and Lin Han fell into speechlessness. Lin Han and Hannah's mouth cannon rarely prevails, because she absorbs Lin Han's "rationality" and is an absolute utilitarian, how can he quarrel with the "rational" "self".
Hannah said to Lin Han: "You like to do things the most layout, you like to count three steps, one step." At this juncture, what you should do is to go back to Fengtian University immediately, predict the current events in the next few days to those students, and prepare for the future harvest of talents here. ”
Hannah doesn't understand people's hearts very well, but for Lin Han, she is completely aware of his way of thinking. Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, Lin Han turned around and left.
Hannah lives in a newly built brick house not far from Mukden Bank. For the sake of that gold, she carefully placed the "site of the investment and construction of the factory" near a private house only more than 1,000 meters away from the Fengtian Bank. In order to obtain this gold, the Nazis and Sephiroth tried their best to make countless preparations for half a year.
In addition to sending people disguised as investors to build a machine in Mukden, in August, ten large trucks used to transport gold were sent to Mukden in the name of engineering vehicles. The ten twelve** trucks are products ordered by Hannah from Mercedes-Benz at a high price, designed to carry three tons each, and can actually easily carry six to eight tons, and then the body is structurally strengthened, the load capacity is larger, and when the extreme test is carried out in Germany, it even carries twelve tons, and it has run hundreds of kilometers without breaking down. After the car was built, Hannah did not hesitate to consume the power of faith to strengthen the material of the key parts of the vehicle, such as the motive, to improve the horsepower and service life of the motive. In addition, there are corresponding forklifts and forklifts prepared for the convenience and speed of transporting gold. All the vehicles were sent to Fengtian in the name of engineering construction vehicles, and they waited for the gunfire to sound and rushed into the Fengtian Bank to grab a ticket.
Lin Han walked out of Hannah's residence and scanned the surroundings with his senses, where he had seen fifty Germans, most of them muscular and well-trained special forces, and the rest of the dozen or so, although older, were all veterans of the Storm Commando in World War I. The Storm Commando was the elite of the German army during World War I, and Hannah and Mustache were able to mobilize these veterans with rich combat experience, and it was obvious that the Junkers officer corps had also secretly intervened in this operation.
In addition to Shanghai, Fengtian Bank is the largest financial center in China, which not only stores Zhang Xueliang's own family wealth, but also the wealth of ordinary people in the north, especially in the northeast, is also stored in large quantities. (Note: I checked the history, the weight specifications of gold bars in the Republic of China were different from now, and the weight standards of gold bars in different forces were also different.) There is a stick that weighs 375 grams, and there is also a 325 gram one. As for the specific figure of Fengtian Bank's gold, I have found a number of forty tons.
"There are wolves outside, tigers inside, it's really a pack of wolves!"
Lin Han sighed in his heart, shook his head and left.
Lin Han originally wanted to go to Zhang Zuoxiang, the supreme military commander of Mukden, and remind him to guard against the Japanese going alone. In the past month, Lin Han has become famous in Mukden, and he has become a well-known celebrity in the local area. Under his deliberate large amount of money, he also had an excellent relationship with the local magnates.
With Lin Han's current status, it was not difficult to see Zhang Zuoxiang to warn him, but Lin Han finally gave up the idea because he didn't think it made much sense.
