The Third Army quickly entered the city of Nanjing, the neat team stepped on the bluestone floor with a unified pace, the sound of "stepping, stepping, stepping" was endless, Chen Fu announced martial law to the entire Nanjing city in the name of Qin Yu, and the people of Nanjing were very afraid of those fierce and vicious soldiers, because these soldiers immediately arrested suspicious people when they saw them, which made the entire Nanjing people smell the third army is a great change.

The soldiers of the Third Army were very angry, their great Chairman Qin was assassinated and his life and death were still unknown, which made them want to break the murderer into pieces, so they didn't have a good face for those suspicious people.

Seven hours after Qin Yu entered the operating room, the operating door finally opened, and the German doctors rushed out, Jiang Fangzhen and Chen Fu immediately surrounded them, "How is our chairman?" ”。

"Tell me, what's going on with the chairman?"

"......," the crowd asked, the German doctors.

One of the chief physicians said loudly: "Don't make noise, the patient is out of danger and is now in a coma, don't make loud noises to the rest of other patients." It should be said that your chairman was so lucky that he received the special care of God and his old man, and he almost had a bullet hit his heart, but fortunately your chairman was lucky enough that God would not accept him, otherwise you would not have seen him. "Everyone was sweating profusely when they heard this, it was so dangerous.

At this time, the doctor asked again: "Who is Jiang Fangzhen?" ”

Jiang Fangzhen immediately stepped forward and said, "I am." ”

Doctor: "The patient woke up once after the operation, and he asked me to tell you that you are now in charge of East China and control the overall situation, especially to keep an eye on the protective line, and ask you to personally go to the protective line and let Chen Fu manage the government affairs of the four provinces, and you must resist and wait for him to wake up." ”

"Yes, Doctor, when will our chairman wake up?"

"I'm not sure yet, this time his energy consumption is too strict, and it will take at least a week to wake up."

After Jiang Fangzhen heard this, he knew that Qin Yu was afraid that someone would take this opportunity to attack East China, and the only ones who could attack Huaxia were Beiyang and the Revolutionary Army, so he asked him to pay special attention to the protective line.

Jiang Fangzhen immediately found Chen Fu and asked him to deal with the government affairs in East China, and he personally rushed to the protective line, and he decided to transfer troops to the protective line. Prior to this, Jiang Fangzhen asked Chen Fu to announce the news of Qin Yu's assassination three days later, during which he must strictly control the whole of Nanjing, not allow any news to be transmitted, and let people specially monitor the radio station, once it is not the government's telegram, it is not allowed to send it.

Jiang Fangzhen personally went to the protective line with 200,000 troops, plus the 100,000 who were originally on the protective line, a total of 300,000 troops were deployed.

With the help of the air force, Jiang Fangzhen arrived in Xuzhou in the afternoon of the same day, where after thinking about it, he decided to arrange 150,000 troops between Xinyang and Shangqiu, and 50,000 troops on the line from Shangqiu to Rizhao, and then flew to Xinyang by plane, and arranged 100,000 troops on the line from Xinyang to Jiujiang, and a large number of troops were concentrated between Xinyang and Huangshi.

After these were done, Jiang Fangzhen began to strictly order the Jiangxi border defenders to guard against Hunan and Fujian, and Zhejiang also began to secretly transfer troops to the Fujian border. Under Jiang Fangzhen's arrangement, the navy began to move, divided into three teams, and drove the small cruisers that the Manchus had taken refuge in into the Yangtze River and marched all the way inland, while the three battleships of the Wangzi class and Jiaolong No. 1 to No. 5 were secretly escorting the south, while the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Liaohe, Zhujiang, and Heilongjiang that had just been loaded with weapons were escorted northward by Jiaolong No. 6 to No. 15, and the navy would immediately shell Wuhan and Beiyang as soon as they made any moves.

Just after Jiang Fangzhen made the arrangement, he immediately received information that the Beiyang Army, which was originally going south, stopped after arriving in Zhengzhou, and the revolutionary army also stopped in Suizhou, Jiang Fangzhen immediately stood up and ran to the map to look at it, and said after a while: "So that's the case, it seems that the Beiyang Army has been premeditated with the revolutionary army for a long time, and it seems that the chairman's affairs are inseparable from you." ”

Then Jiang Fangzhen said to the intelligence officer: "Check, immediately go to investigate the number of their troops, find out what cooperation there is between them, and then investigate whether the chairman's business was done by them, it is best to investigate their latest telegram, no matter what the price is, you must find out for me." ”

"Yes"

The intelligence officer's eyes lit up when he heard that Qin Yu's matter might have been done by Wuhan and Beiyang, and then it dimmed, and their intelligence department also had a huge responsibility for the assassination of the chairman, which proved that the intelligence department had not done a good enough job, and the assassination of the chairman was simply their shame.

Jiang Fangzhen comforted when he saw the frustration of the intelligence officer: "Everyone is responsible for this matter, we are usually arrogant, and we always think that there will be no accidents in our own place, so we must always remember this lesson, I don't think the chairman will blame you, now let's go find out the murderer, we have to pay for it with blood." ”

On the third day of Qin Yu's assassination, Chen Fu officially telegraphed to announce that Qin Yu was assassinated three days ago and is still in a coma and is not out of danger, and that he will temporarily take over the chairman's work, and Jiang Fangzhen will take over the military power, saying that this is a situation in which some careerists do not want the peaceful reunification of the country and destroy peace, and declare that the entire East China has entered a state of military control, and from now on, any provocation by either side against the East China Army will be regarded as a direct declaration of war on East China; Whoever arranged this assassination, once it is found out, will be met with bloody revenge from the East China Army.

As soon as this telegram came out, the Chinese people were very angry about Qin Yu's assassination, and they saw that they were about to be peacefully reunified, and some people would assassinate the heroes who advocated peaceful reunification, and the people in East China were even more angry, the great chairman was assassinated in Nanjing, the citizens and students marched on the streets to demand revenge, and the businessmen vigorously raised funds for revenge. The reason to make more advanced weapons to take revenge was suppressed, and the demonstrations that began in the four provinces spread to the whole country, and the major cities of the country held demonstrations, Wuhan and Beiyang did not expect this, but soon they suppressed the demonstrations for various reasons.

Germany was also very angry after learning about it, fortunately Qin Yu was fine, otherwise Germany would lose a strong friend, Wilhelm II personally published a newspaper to comfort Qin Yu, and warned some countries that it was best not to participate in it, and also said that Qin Yu was a friend of Germany, and after Qin Yu recovered from his injury, let Germany's Far East Navy and Qin Yu's Navy conduct joint military exercises. Some newspapers also reported on Qin Yu and the nationwide march after Wilhelm II was published, and Britain and France also knew Qin Yu's important surname at this time, and also sent people to visit Qin Yu.

On this day, Chen Fu personally carried the thorn strip to Qin's house, Mrs. Qin and Erin fainted directly after hearing this, and soon woke up again under the care of the doctor, and the two of them quickly went to the hospital to accompany Qin Yu.

After another two days, the newspapers in Wuhan and Beiyang reported that Qin Yu was a dictator, he was the only heir of the richest Qin business house in the country, what he did was only to expand the Qin group's industry, he stole the fruits of the revolution, and once used force against the revolutionary army, and also sold a lot of rights and interests in the four provinces to Germany and so on, at this time Chen Qimei and others also jumped out and said that they were persecuted, and suddenly the wind changed, Qin Yu was said that this was just relying on the power of the family, and the people of the four provinces who ate soft rice did not believe it at all, and those who are not from the four provinces believe it, after all, hating the rich is a long-standing tradition in China, so Qin Yu was rumored to be a liar, a traitor, and so on for a while.

Another day later, Wuhan and Beiyang attacked the Great Defensive Line almost simultaneously, and then telegraphed that Qin Yu shamelessly stole the fruits of the revolution and bought and sold national interests, announced the invasion of Qin, and the Battle of the Defensive Line began.

After the telegram was opened between Wuhan and Beiyang, Chen Fu directly telegraphed that these were all false accusations, declared war on Wuhan and Beiyang, and East China entered a state of war, and at the same time indicated that it was very likely that these two parties were responsible for the assassination of Qin Yu.
