Chapter 33: Confused October

In 1931, the golden September was spent in a series of assassinations made by Lin Han, a time-traveler. The assassination of Chang Kaishen and the shelling of Zhang Shaoshuai, the encounters of the two big men who dominated China really frightened the warlords of all walks of life who were in power in China at that time. After Xiqia was blown to pieces by Lin Han with 40 kilograms of picric acid explosives and his car, the powerful warlord leaders in various places greatly strengthened their own protection forces. And Lin Han's assassination route, from the highest-level Chang Kaishen to the second-level Zhang Shaoshuai to the third-level local magistrate, from top to bottom, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the Northeast, and they couldn't help muttering in their hearts: Could this series of assassinations really be the prelude to Japan's attack on the Northeast?

The young marshal's mansion was hit by three shells, and Zhang Xueliang, who escaped death, was stimulated by the close shell, remembered the revenge of killing his father a few years ago, and made a rare comeback, and ordered the Northeast Army in Fengtian to strengthen its vigilance. The sudden killing of Xiqia, a dark chess piece that the Japanese had been operating for many years, made Japan extremely vigilant. Although the facts of the case could not be explained for a while, judging from the residual traces at the scene, the murderer used radio-controlled blasting technology.

In 1931, radio-controlled blasting was an out-and-out high-tech that was definitely not something that ordinary local warlords could do. The Japanese soon realized that there was a huge foreign force behind this, and who was this foreign power?

Briton? American? Or the Soviets from the North? Whichever side does it, it will be a headache for the Japanese. An opponent hiding in the shadows is sometimes more terrifying than an enemy standing in the light, especially when you are scaring yourself. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, the Japanese military department urgently stopped the long-term plan of action that had been prepared for a long time, and waited for the chaotic political situation in China to become clear before taking action.

The shape of the Tohoku seems to be tense, but it is temporarily eased by the initiative of the Japanese to converge. On the contrary, south of the Yangtze River in China, one scene after another of wonderful "big dramas" are being staged one after another.

On 18 September, after the 10-day "race" of the Kuomintang troops participating in the siege of the Jiangxi Soviet area, they withdrew to Ji'an, Yongfeng, Yihuang, Nancheng, Nanfeng, Guangchang, Ningdu, Ganzhou, and other places. At this point, the Red Front Army led by Li Runshi completely smashed the third encirclement and suppression of the Central Soviet Region by the Kuomintang Army. Due to the assassination of Chang Kaishen, He Yingqin, who succeeded him, had no intention of fighting at this time, the front army was in chaos, and the Red Army achieved a more brilliant victory than in history.

Lin Han's two shots were too ruthless, the one in the lower abdomen, the thirteen-millimeter bullet almost broke Chang Kaishen's waist, and the shot in the chest opened a big hole, Chang Kaishen's body was damaged, and the weather was hot. He was buried early after the first seven days of September 15th. Compared with the fate of him dying and not returning to his hometown in history, this time he buried his bones in his hometown Fenghua in advance.

And then, and then he was quickly forgotten.

Whether it was Wang Jingwei, vice president of the Artillery Party who stayed behind in Nanjing, or He Yingqin, who was on the front line of suppressing bandits, what the two sides did at this time was busy forming gangs, looking for support, and sparing no effort to compete for the power vacuum left by Chang Kaishen. At the same time, the ambassadors and relevant personnel of Britain, the United States, Japan, and other countries also went out in all directions, not only Wang and He were busy with traffic in front of their homes, but even Yan Xishan in Shanxi and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in Guangxi were in front of their homes. In the Young Marshal's Mansion in Beiping, the Japanese envoy came to the door almost every day, pestering Zhang Xueliang under the banner of "eliminating misunderstandings".

At this time, the Anglo-American and Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortia were busy looking for a replacement for Chang Kaishen to sit in the position of president of the Artillery Party. According to legal theory, as soon as Chang Kaishen is gone, Wang Jingwei should take his place in this extraordinary period. However, Wang Jingwei has been abnormal several times, and he, the vice president, is just an empty shelf, and he does not have any military power in his hands. In this era when soldiers are kings and power comes out of the barrel of a gun, Wang Jingwei has the identity of "vice president", but the real power of his decrees is not even feasible in Nanjing.

In contrast, He Yingqin, as the second person in the Whampoa Military Academy after Chang Kaishen, has much greater influence on the military than Wang. It's just that his influence and control power are much worse than Chang Kaishen's. The head of the army under Chang Kaishen is the core of his power is the Huangpu system, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang departments of his fellow villagers are the most important. Chen Cheng, Gu Zhutong, and Liu Zhi are his henchmen, as for He Yingqin, because Chang Kaishen pressed the wrong bet before he went into the field for the first time, his "second person in the Huangpu department" is very taboo, although his status is high, he does not have too much real power in his hands.

After Chang Kaishen's assassination, Chen Cheng, Gu Zhutong, and Liu Zhi began to hold together with members of the Huangpu Jiangsu and Zhejiang departments, waiting for the price to sell. These three people are Chang Kaishen's most favored and reused, and they may respect He on weekdays, but without Chang Kaishen's permission, He Yingqin can't mobilize the three of them at all, He Yingqin wants these three people to be as loyal to him as Jiang is, but it is not so easy.

But after Chang Kaishen's death, He Yingqin became a sweetheart in the eyes of Britain, the United States and even the Japanese overnight. Before the third encirclement and suppression was over, and Chang Kaishen was not buried, his Nanchang Garrison Headquarters was about to be stepped on by the envoys of the three countries. In order to protect their own interests, the compradors of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang chaebol also handed him an olive branch.

In addition, another powerful person who entered the Nanjing Nationalist Government was Zhang Shaoshuai in Beiping. Under the circumstances of Chang Kaishen's assassination and the temporary absence of dragons and scattered sand by the Nanjing Nationalist Government, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army was undoubtedly a decisive and important force. It's just that Zhang Xueliang at this time was blown up by Lin Han's three cannonballs, although the Japanese kept sending envoys to explain, and encouraged Zhang to wave the army south and drink the Yangtze River. However, the death of Xiqia immediately afterwards made Zhang more vigilant against the ambitions of the Japanese, and no matter how the Japanese instigated, he just stood still - Lin Han's bombing erased the dirty things done by Xiqia, the "leading party", and allowed him to die a "clean" death.

As soon as Chang Kaishen died, the happiest people in the country were the warlords from all walks of life, in addition, a few years ago, during the Central Plains War, Chang Kaishen used a "silver bullet" to knock down Shi Yousan and others who threw themselves into Chiang, and they were also very happy at this time.

The political situation in China in September has disturbed a mess, and it can be said that you sang and I appeared. By the beginning of October, the political situation had finally become clearer. With the joint support of Britain, the United States, and Japan, and the limited support of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium, He Yingqin finally succeeded Chang Kaishen in his position as the nominal commander-in-chief of the national armed forces, and held the power of the permanent system. It's just that he, the commander-in-chief, is much more depressed than Chang Kaishen, and the people in the Huangpu and Jiangsu and Zhejiang departments, the core of Chang Kaishen's forces, have hooked up with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium represented by Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi during this period. As for Chang Kaishen's motley army of various warlords who have been recruited with "silver bullets" over the years, after more than 20 days of selling, they have also found their new owners. Although his opponent Wang Jingwei has no military power, his political capital is richer than He Yingqin, and he still reaped a lot of benefits after Chang Kaishen's death by virtue of his status as vice president. He Yingqin, who took over Chang Kaishen's position, has shrunk the power in his hands by half compared with his predecessor.

At this time, the Nationalist Government in Nanjing was weaker than ever. The surrounding warlords saw it in their eyes, and they all began to move. It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the former Chang warlord under the leadership of He Yingqin, although he was torn apart because of Chang Kaishen's death, the power of the "silver bullet" in the hands of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium was really amazing, and Zhang Shaoshuai in the northeast was entangled by the Japanese and could not pull his hand, Yan Xishan and Li Zongren and other warlords had a deep understanding of the power of the "silver bullet", and no one was willing to be the first to ignite the flames of war, and every family was in a state of watching and watching.

As the time entered October, the situation in China, with the coming to power of He Yingqin, seemed to be gradually stabilizing.

The Japanese began to be unable to sit still, and even more than the Japanese were the Germans, the war maniacs of Mustache and Hannah.

Because of Lin Han's flipping of the table to stir up the situation, the Japanese did not move the "918" incident on time as in history, which made Hannah spend a lot of effort to lay out in Mukden, and the plan to take advantage of the chaos to rob the Mukden Bank fell through. Throughout September, she and the SS special forces sent to China were forced to pretend to eat dust on the construction site in Mukden with nothing to do. Although Hannah also firmly believed that the Japanese would attack Mukden, she was no longer sure of the timing.

In contrast, Lin Han was in a good mood, and during this time, as a returned overseas Chinese studying in Germany, he frequently went in and out of Fengtian University to give lectures, sell books, and carry out various social activities.

Lin Han's book, titled "The Rise of a Great Power", is a pirated version of the content of the famous Chinese documentary "The Rise of a Great Power", which infiltrates the product of the summary and understanding of various historical materials collected by Hannah and himself. According to Lin Han's plan, after he returned to China, if he could not prevent the 918 students, he would take advantage of this opportunity to publish this book after 918 to "make a name" for himself, so as to attract a large number of patriotic young students to join him and recruit talents. If 918 is prevented from being postponed, this book will also work at this time to make a name for him.

Lin Han was rich, and although he was in Mukden, his books were distributed for free in various universities across the country through guò's subordinate channels, which soon caused a sensation. Many universities in China invited him to give lectures, but Lin Han didn't want to get out for the sake of the students in Fengtian University.

In Lin Han's opinion, he could not keep the gold of Fengtian Bank, but the students of Fengtian University were priceless treasures more precious than gold. Once the 918 explosion occurred, these students all became "exiles" who lost their homes, and whether they fell into the hands of the Japanese or went into exile in China, it was the greatest waste. However, if you can organize these people and control them in your own hands, that will be the most precious talent base for your future actions.

For more than 20 days after coming to Mukden, Lin Han spent most of his time at Fengtian University, mingling with the students in the school. As for the movements of the Japanese army outside Mukden, Hannah and the Germans she brought with her paid attention. These days, Hannah is looking forward to the sound of dynamite in Wicker Lake, so that she can take someone to rob the Mukden Bank. Lin Han, on the other hand, was a flawless "gentleman" in school, while telling his students about the historical process of the rise of Western powers, and at the same time paying attention to various talents among students.

In addition to lecturing, Lin Han also donated a lot of money to help students, and all parties flattered, so in the school, from the principal to the teachers to the students, he was very welcome as a "returnee" who was just over 30 years old. When he walked around the campus, Lin Han used the face of his past life. Before the crossing, Lin Han had just passed his thirty-second birthday. Before he returned to China, Lin Hantong had a relationship with Guò, asked the president of Keele University to give him a diploma from Keele University, and forged a file of his studies at Keele University, giving himself the aura of a "graduate of a prestigious school".

Lin Han is not alone in Fengtian University, during this time, Wu Shaoyu also came to Fengtian with more than a dozen students of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, these people are the backbone of Lin Han's careful training in the past year. Due to their similar age, they quickly blended in with the students at the university.

As the time entered October, Lin Han's reputation among the students became higher and higher, and Hannah, who had been waiting for the explosion of Wicker Lake for a long time, became more and more angry.

However, on the 8th of October, as the 1,240 mm grenade landed on the North Daying, everything changed.

What should come will come after all, Lin Han's efforts only made 918 postpone his life for twenty days.
