Chapter 294: Stillness

In the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society, the officials of the Black Dragon Society, including Mitsuru Toyama, Ryohei Uchida, and Saint Murakami, all sat in their rooms, waiting for the news that might come.

Whether it's success or failure...

Kneeling on the delicate tatami mats, seeing the calm faces of Mitsuru Toyama and the others, Murakami could almost feel the oppressive atmosphere in the room. At the same time, I also remembered another thing that Touyama and others said to me a few days ago.

The reason for the Black Dragon Society to deal with Yan Shao is very simple, one is because the Kuomintang Socialist Party's strategy against Japan's Manchurian and Mongolian countries is likely to cause obstacles, great obstacles, and the other is the original rubber stock trend, Yan Shao has caused Japan a lot of harmβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” regardless of whether Yan Shao did it on purpose or not, the Japanese will regard him as intentional. And the fact is that Yan Shao did it on purpose at the beginning...

But they're in such a hurry to do this for another reason...

Time...

Under the current situation, it is impossible for Japan to seize Manchuria. Not to mention the seizure of Manchuria, it is absolutely impossible to expand even if you want to expand your interests in China. This is because Britain, the United States, Russia, Germany, France, and other countries will absolutely not allow Japan to develop in China.

And with the current strength of Japan, it is not enough to fight these countries.

Although the size of Japan's navy may seem large, in reality Japan's industrial level is simply not comparable to that of other powers. At the beginning, Japan seemed to have won the Russo-Japanese War, but in fact, it lost almost all the benefits won in the First Sino-Japanese War, and it was also because of the war that made Japan a real great power. As a result, Japan remained a debtor country for several years after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, until it borrowed the east wind of the First World War...

However, now the situation in Europe is becoming more and more tense for the imminent outbreak of war. Neither the Entente nor the Central Powers had made too many preparations. While many hope that the war that will destroy the 'Golden Age of Europe' will not come, it is no longer a stop.

As long as war breaks out, neither Britain, Russia, nor the United States, France, and Germany will be able to take into account what is happening in Asia, and that will be the best time for Japan to expand its interests in China.

There is a consensus on this point among the top leaders in Japan.

According to the Japanese view, this war may not take a few years.

And then. Here's the problem...

"Now the development situation in Anhui, Murakami-kun, you have to know very well that if you give Anhui a few more years, it will definitely be the biggest obstacle to the empire's Manchurian and Mongolian strategy. And..."As he said this, Ryohei Uchida lowered his head slightly, rubbing his palm against the teacup in his hand, feeling the heat coming from the wall of the cup. "Just like I said before. Now Anhui's biggest weakness is Yan Shao. The foundation of the Kuomintang is not strong, and there are contradictions between the localists and the returnees, as long as Yan Shao dies, Anhui will definitely be turbulent in a short time. ”

"However, if Yan Shao is given another two or three years to stabilize Anhui's economy and political system, so that the military government can still operate stably without him, then. Even if we kill him, it's useless..."

"So we have to deal with this problem before the situation in Anhui is completely stabilized. As long as there is no Yan Shao, then only Yuan Shikai is left in China, and when the situation in Europe changes, Yuan Shikai alone will definitely not be able to stop the pace of the empire..."

After thinking back to the words of Ryohei Uchida, Murakami looked out the door again.

"I don't know what kind of news will come back after the most difficult road? Succeed? Fail? Or, like the previous two times, there was no ambush at all? ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Compared with Murakami's side, the situation on Yan Shao's side is a little worse.

Maybe it's because of the pampered life in the past, and the fact that there are often a large team of people around to protect them in normal times, so whether it is Yan Shao or Elainor, their response to the crisis has decreased a lot, and when they saw Ke Yun and Du Ying rushing up with bundled grenades, Yan Shao didn't even react to what was going on, and Elano and Caterina only had time to throw Yan Shao and Lu Ying down in the car.

It was at that moment that an explosion sounded.

With a loud noise, the car suddenly flipped out on its side, and the body was slightly twisted when it was visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, gunshots rang out.

Unlike Yan Shao's people, who gradually forgot the danger, since Yan Shao was bombed once in the Xiangshan Iron Factory, the people of the Guards Regiment have been ashamed of this, and they have been conducting strict training day and night.

It can be said that in terms of actual combat experience, they may not be as strict as other units that often fight or carry out the task of suppressing bandits, but in terms of training, there is no one in the Kuomintang Army who is stricter than them.

Moreover, the training of the Guards Regiment is also very targeted, and in addition to combat, most of them are aimed at sudden situations. Therefore, the soldiers of the Guards Regiment in the front and rear vehicles had already opened the doors and rushed out of the cars, and some plainclothes in the crowd directly drew their pistols.

At the moment when the car rolled over on its side, one of Ke Yun's people had already fallen to the ground. It's just that there are too many pedestrians on the street, and it is impossible for soldiers and agents to shoot unscrupulously, which also gives Ke Yun more opportunities.

"Is it just a rollover..."Seeing a companion throw a bundled grenade next to the body, only to turn the car over on its side, Ke Yun was also stunned.

Because the power of the grenade is not small, not to mention that there are still three grenades tied together, if the average car can't be completely blown up, I'm afraid it won't be too bad, but the car just now just rolled over on its side, and the body was slightly deformed...

"If it doesn't succeed this time, it'll be all over..."Seeing that the soldiers in black uniforms had rushed up, Ke Yun hurriedly threw the bundle of grenades in his hand out of the car, and threw it on the chassis position exposed after the car rolled over, and as a result, the car that had been blown out of the car suddenly flew out of the car a few meters away. The chassis of the car is also twisted ...

The grenades brought by Gao Sencheng this time were only enough for each person to have a bundle, and Ke Yun and the others only had a total of 6 people. It all adds up to 18 grenades.

Although they are all dead soldiers sent by the Kuomintang, they are different from ancient times, after all, there can really be no dead soldiers, and they are just relatively not afraid of death and are willing to give their lives for the interests of the party...

However, even if you are not afraid of death, if you can not die. It's better not to die...

The reason why they didn't throw all the grenades out of the gang in the first place was because they wanted to save some to open the way, so that they could at least have some certainty that they could rush out of Anqing. As for how many people will survive after the last death, no one knows...

Just look at what it looks like now...

Thinking so, Ke Yun threw the grenade in his hand out of the cannon again, and then rushed to the partner who was shot. Pick up the grenade in his hand. Then he slammed it on the ground and threw it in the direction of the car.

After a few loud bangs, the car, which was already somewhat deformed, was blown out of a distance of more than ten meters again, and the whole car was blown to tatters, and the body could no longer be seen in its original state.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of those guards regiments suddenly turned red, and the pistols in their hands also shot at Ke Yun and the others, but in an instant. There were already three people who fell to the ground, and Du Ying was among them.

Count the previous one. Four of the assassins had fallen, and the rest of Ke Yun and the other were rushing out through the crowd.

The sudden explosion, along with the bullets in all directions, panicked the people in the streets, and almost at the same time as the explosion, the screams of several schoolgirls on the street.

The panicked flow of people ran out of the street, dispersing the police who were rushing to the center of the explosion, and hindering the arrest of soldiers and agents. After all, there were so many pedestrians on the street that they couldn't have been as careless as the Assassins.

In addition to the Assassins, others ran to the car.

After being bombarded by more than a dozen grenades, the car has been completely deformed, and no one knows whether the people inside are alive or dead...

"In case something happens to them..."

Thinking of this, the platoon commander, who was running towards the car, suddenly became anxious.

At the same time, standing on the second floor of the office, looking at the busy downstairs, Gao Sencheng hesitated in his heart.

Because he didn't know whether to stay and see the results, or get out of here as soon as possible.

If he stays, he will probably wait for more than ten minutes, and he will be able to tell whether the people inside are dead or alive, but according to the efficiency of the Special Affairs Bureau, I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire city will be blocked, and he will not be able to leave even if he wants to.

And as the person in charge of the office, there are not a few people who know him in Anqing, and even if he stays for an extra minute now, it can bring a lot of risks.

So after thinking about it carefully, although it was indeed attractive to stay and see the results, Gao Sencheng still chose to live a small life.

He had also heard of the torture technique of the Special Affairs Bureau, and it was said to be unique, and he didn't plan to try it.

"Anyway, it's already successful, and whether the people inside live or die, it doesn't have much to do with me..."Thinking so, Gao Sencheng packed his things and hurried downstairs, and then walked out of the back door, where there was already a car parked at the back door, and then he just needed to rush to the dock before the lockdown...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

In the conference room of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Fu Xiuming and the others were still talking about the issue of establishment.

As mentioned earlier, the establishment of more than 18,000 people is almost 2,000 more than the establishment of German infantry divisions. With such a large establishment, there is absolutely no problem with any kind of troops.

But it is precisely because of this that the Ministry of Finance and other departments feel that it is unnecessary and stand up for boycott. In their view, instead of spending money on unnecessary matters, it is better to invest in economic construction.

According to the Ministry of Communications, "I don't know how many kilometers of highways need to be built in Anhui now, and instead of throwing money on it, it is better to throw it on the road, even if it is to build an extra kilometer of highway, it can play a lot of role in Anhui's economy..."

Although the other departments are not so direct, they are actually all about the same.

As a matter of fact, other branches of the government have long been strongly dissatisfied with the fact that the military spends more than half of the junta's financial expenditures.

And the other departments have an unyielding attitude. It gave Fu Xiuming a headache.

Most of the generals of the Ministry of Military Affairs have been trained in France, so naturally they do not have the idea of self-respect of those soldiers in other provinces, even if they do. It won't be so strong, so naturally they can't put on a too tough posture in the face of government departmentsβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” and it's also because of this relationship, in fact, they have always been very envious of their counterparts in other provinces.

It's just that they also know very well that in a government, the rights of the army need to be limited to a certain extent, so even if they are envious, they still know what to do. Of course. Not everyone can be that rational, but the number of irrational people is too small to change anything.

It's just that when Fu Xiuming and the others were still discussing how to do it. A person suddenly ran in from outside and informed them of the attack on Yan Shao's convoy.

"What?"

After hearing that Yan Shao had been assassinated and his life and death were unknown, Fu Xiuming and the others immediately stood up from their seats.

"What did you just say. Say it again! "Put your hands on the table. Zhang Ying said with some excitement.

"Yes..."It seemed that he was frightened by Fu Xiuming and the others, and the person hesitated for a moment, but still spoke. I just got the news that the Governor's convoy was assassinated by the Assassins on the way to the park, and I rushed over after receiving the news, so I don't know much about the follow-up situation..."

Almost as soon as the man's voice was finished, the phone in the conference room was already ringing.

Glanced at the others. Fu Xiuming walked to the phone to answer it, and then nodded. After a while, after hanging up the phone, he turned his head to Zhang Ying and the others. "It was Minister Li who called, and he also got the news..."

"And what does he mean?"

"Minister Li's side got more detailed information than us, according to the news we just got, there are a total of 6 assassins, 4 of them have been killed in the process of assassination, and two have escaped in the crowd, and now the people of the Guards Regiment and the Special Affairs Bureau are chasing them, Minister Li means to let the garrison block the entire city first, don't let the murderer run away, as for the rest..." It's up to the governor to see how he goes..."

This is also something that can't be helped, in fact, since Li Guoyun ran away, Li Liang has taken over the position of deputy governor, plus he is also the minister of finance, it can be said that Li Liang, the deputy governor, is definitely much more comfortable than when Li Guoyun was there.

And in terms of status, Li Liang is also much higher than Fu Xiuming.

It's just a transfer of the garrison or something, this kind of thing can't be done even by Li Liang, and judging from the current situation, if the garrison is not mobilized in time to seal the city, it is difficult to say whether the murderer will run away.

That's why Li Liang called Fu Xiuming, because he needed the cooperation of the Ministry of Military Affairs in this matter.

"What do you think?"

"Let's do it..."After thinking about it, Zhang Ying agreed. The most important thing now is not to let the assassins run away, relying on the police alone, it may be a bit hairy for Minister Qin, but it is really difficult to say whether there will be anyone in the police who will collude with the assassins, and now the most reliable thing is the garrison, and if the governor is assassinated, there will definitely be a sensation in the city, and now the garrison is needed to maintain order..."

With Zhang Ying opening her mouth, everyone else nodded in agreement.

It's just that not everyone has the same idea as Zhang Ying, and a few people have the idea...

"If something really happened to the Governor, then wouldn't we be soldiers..."

It's not surprising that this is also an idea that soldiers in this era basically have, and from a certain point of view, Fu Xiuming's is different.

Anyway, now that everyone else has agreed, there's no need to say anything about the rest.

Gao Sencheng's luck is good, just half an hour after he left, the military government issued an emergency order, and several troops originally stationed around the provincial capital immediately surrounded Anqing, it can be said that if Gao Sencheng left later, or if he really stayed there to wait for news, then his result can be imagined...

On the other hand, after mobilizing nearby garrisons to blockade the provincial capital, Fu Xiuming and the others also got news about Yan Shao...

Seriously injured, unconscious, but not dead yet ...

Some people may regret getting this news, but most of the people in the military government still rushed to be happy, and after sending a telegram to the garrisons in Suzhou, Dangtu, Huizhou and other places to pay attention to the vigilance, Fu Xiuming and others immediately set off for the hospital...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the hospital bed, Yan Shao covered his head with his right hand, only feeling that his head hurt.

As for what will happen to the Lu...

After thinking about it a little, Yan Shao seemed to remember a lot...

"Assassination..."Yan Shao sighed. But since I'm still alive, it seems..."

Thinking of this, Yan Shao suddenly remembered one thing, that is, he was not the only one in the car at that time. Thinking of this, Yan Shao suddenly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Lu Ying, who was sitting next to him with a worried face, and several other doctors in white coats.

"The Governor is awake!" Seeing Yan Shao open his eyes, one of them immediately walked outside the door, while several other doctors hurriedly ran over to examine Yan Shao...

Reluctantly pushing away the doctors, Yan Shao sat up from the bed. "What about Elaline? How are they doing now? This sentence was said to Lu Ying, and at the same time, after hearing the doctor's words, Fu Xiuming and the others, who had been staying outside, also squeezed in together...

There was no need for Lu Ying to answer, Yan Shao had already seen Elaline and Caterina on the hospital bed next to him.

At this time, the two of them were lying quietly on the bed, but there were bandage marks everywhere on their bodies, seeing this scene, Yan Shao's heart calmed down... (To be continued......)
