Chapter 324 Fang Buwei's wings
Fang Buwei subconsciously turned his head, they were two middle-aged men who were not tall and wore suits.
His first reaction was, from whose mouth would such a thing come out?
Could it be a high-ranking Japanese military official, or a high-ranking spy?
But how could someone of such a status talk about such an important topic in such a public place?
When he noticed that the shadow of someone around him stopped, one of the Japanese subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Fang Buwei.
Fang Bu's mind was in a hurry, thinking about whether to speak a few words of Japanese, pretend to be Japanese, and see if he could take advantage of it. But he also suddenly thought that in this era, there are really not a few Chinese who can speak Japanese. Except for watching action movies, I don't know anything about Japanese etiquette and habits, and I will wear it every minute.
He was about to pretend that he had no intention of staying and leave quickly, so that the two Japanese could continue talking, when his eyes subconsciously swept down and saw a newspaper spread out in front of the two Japanese.
At the top are four bold traditional Chinese characters "Huazi Daily".
No wonder it was said in public, it turned out to be talking about news in the newspapers?
What's the matter, two Japanese people, reading Chinese newspapers, actually speak Japanese?
I almost scared myself out of it.
Isn't that right?
Fang Buwei was slammed again.
It is not surprising that the Japanese have been clamoring for an attack on Nanjing, and it is not surprising that it was published in Japanese newspapers, but why did it appear in the International Times in the port city?
Looking at the headline on the front page again, Fang Buwei sighed in his heart: "The Japanese ambassador disappeared for no reason, and the Third Fleet was pointed at Nanjing......"
Fang is not a cold sweat.
He wanted to punch himself twice in the head.
Isn't this the famous 613 incident in the summer of the twenty-third year of the Republic of China?
No wonder he was so familiar with Zhao Shirui's name when he heard it.
This case was solved by Zhao Shirui.
At that time, Japan was trying to make the reason for occupying North China more sufficient, and also to find an excuse for the official start of the war.
The Japanese military deliberately made the vice-consul of the Consulate General in Nanjing disappear and prepared to create the false image of being killed.
The Japanese military, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, believed that the consul had committed suicide in accordance with the order. He issued three statements in succession, saying that the consul had been murdered by the Chinese government, and that he had conclusive evidence in his possession.
On the day the statement was issued, the Japanese Third Fleet went straight down the river overnight to Xiaguan in Nanjing, where it aimed at the Nanjing Presidential Palace.
The Nationalist Government did not even react.
In the face of the imminent situation, the whole national government went crazy.
The wind in the city of Nanjing is loud, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. Many people fled Nanjing ahead of schedule through various connections.
The whole country thought that this war could not be avoided no matter what.
Not to mention the dispatch of all members of the Capital Police Agency and the Military Police Headquarters, the Nationalist Government issued a huge reward order to search for the Japanese consul.
The amount has risen from 10,000 oceans at the beginning to 50,000 oceans at the end.
After searching for five days, I couldn't find even the roots.
Just when the Nationalist Government was in despair and hurriedly transferring troops from everywhere, a miracle happened.
Even the Japanese did not expect that the consul would hesitate at the last moment of suicide?
He struggled in the mountains for five whole days, and slashed hundreds of knives on his body, each of which was just bleeding, and he would be frightened to retract it.
During these five days he drank dew with thirst and gnawed at the bark of a tree with hunger. In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I secretly went down the mountain.
There are no people on the mountain, only the management office of the Zhongshan Cemetery. When the consul went in to ask for water, he was recognized by the staff of the cemetery through a photo of the bounty.
The director of the cemetery immediately sent someone down the mountain to inform the Capital Police Department, which was in charge of the case, and Zhao Shirui's investigation department was the first to know the news, and he immediately led people to search the mountain and find the consul.
At the moment of seeing the Chinese police, the consul actually plucked up his courage and stabbed himself in the chest with a knife.
Fortunately, the consul was starved for five days, and in addition to his physical strength, he was also in a trance. In addition, Zhao Shirui was not bad, and he took the knife first.
Then he coaxed and deceived the consul who claimed to be on a great mission.
The Japanese failed in their ploy and claimed afterwards that the consul was under too much pressure and suffering from mental illness, so he went up the mountain.
The consul was also drowned in the sea by the military headquarters on the way to Japan.
So far, the Nanjing government has also avoided a catastrophe.
Afterwards, all relevant personnel were rewarded, and the most outstanding one was Zhao Shirui.
The Kuomintang later unanimously agreed that Zhao Shirui, who personally prevented the consul from committing suicide, had the merit of relieving the party-state from being in trouble, and his official military rank was directly promoted from lieutenant colonel to major general, a full two levels.
The official history after embracing the Kuomintang also admitted that if it were not for Zhao Shirui, the official war between China and Japan would definitely be advanced by three years.
Zhao Baorui's contribution is not insignificant.
Thinking of 613, the Lord Buwei thought of some of Zhao Shirui's later deeds.
Two years before Japan's surrender, it was also Zhao Shirui who found out that the Central Union colluded with the Japanese to create counterfeit money, and worked together with Ma Chunfeng to pull He Qingnan off the horse.
The whole party and the state were taken aback, and the central unification actually cooperated with the Japanese to print counterfeit banknotes for six whole years?
At that time, the reason why the fiat currency depreciated so quickly was also due to part of the central system.
He Qingnan claimed that he did not know, but his ex-wife was the main participant.
If it weren't for Chen Zuyan's protection, He Qingnan's fate would definitely be lifeless.
While Fang Buwei was still reminiscing, one of the Japanese looked at him and asked in slightly stiff Chinese, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Fang Buwei didn't listen to what the Japanese were saying at all, so he turned around and walked to the bar.
All he could think about was the disappearance of the consul.
Fang Buwei asked Chen Xinran again, "Is it the tenth today!" ”
Chen Xinran glanced at Fang Buwei strangely, "You don't remember?" ”
Fang does not remember for nature.
He didn't give up and wanted to make sure.
The newspaper that the two Japanese people read is exactly what it is today.
This incident is called the 613 incident because the consul was taken down the mountain by Zhao Shirui on the morning of June 13. In the meantime, after five days of searching, the Japanese claimed that the date of the consul's disappearance should be the 8th, and the 3rd Fleet arrived in Nanjing on the 9th, that is, yesterday.
He walked directly to the bar and asked the waiter in Chinese, "Is there an international Times these days?" ”
The blonde waiter could not understand Chinese and could only shake his head.
The "......" side had no choice but to repeat it in Japanese.
The waiter pointed to the café on the side of the restaurant.
Fang Buwei glanced at it, there was a newspaper folder there.
When he walked in, he took down all the relevant newspapers and looked at them one by one.
All of them are local newspapers in Hong Kong, both English and Chinese.
I think it was specially bought when the cruise ship was berthing at the harbor in the morning.
The Japanese General Mission in Nanjing informed the Nanjing government that the time of the consul's disappearance was the 8th, and the 3rd Fleet was on the 9th, and sent a warship to Nanjing under the pretext of supervising the Nanjing government to find the culprit.
However, by the afternoon of the 9th, the Japanese military had conveniently claimed that the Nanjing Government was maliciously harboring the real culprit and that it was to be resolved by force, and the number of warships of the Third Fleet arriving at Shimonoseki had increased to five......
Fang Buwei sighed secretly.
If this kind of news was in China, it would have exploded a long time ago, but he has been out more than once today, and he has not seen anyone talk about it.
Hong Kong has been ruled by the British government for nearly 100 years, and except for some patriots with lofty ideals, I am afraid that most people no longer regard themselves as Chinese people.
"Why did something so big happen all of a sudden?" Chen Xinran looked at the newspaper in front of him and asked in disbelief, "If you want to go back, you can't go back?" ”
Are you kidding?
If you want to go back, you can only jump into the sea.
He was thinking, should he inform the Nanjing side of the news that the consul was hiding in the Purple Mountain?
The effective range of that radio transmitter was five thousand kilometers, which was completely sufficient.
But he was afraid that because of his rash participation, the situation would take an unpredictable direction.
On the last day, the consul was already dizzy from hunger, coupled with psychological torture, his spirit was about to collapse, and he didn't want to give up the idea of suicide, but the desire to survive was too strong, so he couldn't give up.
On the contrary, the moment Zhao Shirui found him, the consul plucked up his courage.
What Fang is not afraid of is that if he finds the consul when he has not suffered enough and has not suffered so much, his courage will be even stronger.
Don't say that Fang Buwei, I'm afraid that God doesn't dare to guarantee that Zhao Shirui can snatch the knife from the hands of the consul who has not been weak to a certain extent, both physically and mentally?
Forget it, for the sake of insurance, it is better to let it develop according to the established track more prudently.
Fang Buwei gritted his teeth and hung up the newspapers one by one.
After Xiao Zaiming and Chen's father learned the news, they also had a solemn face, especially Xiao Zaiming.
For half the night, he beat his chest in his room, scolding himself for not thinking of buying a newspaper and coming back to read it before he got on the boat.
But it has come to this, and it is useless to be anxious.
Fang Bu comforted him for a good voice, saying that the situation might not be as serious as they imagined.
Again, staying on the ship, without any sources, and being in a hurry will not help.
Xiao almost beat Fang Fang in Mingqi.
On the fifth day, that is, on the 14th, the cruise ship left the port city and docked for the first time.
The Vietnamese News Times not only did not publish the news that the consul had been found, but instead wrote that the Japanese warship had opened fire on the air on the 13th.
The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that if the Nationalist Government could not find a reasonable answer in the last two days, that is, by the evening of the 14th, they would declare war?
Could it be that his own wings have changed the development of things?
Fang Budang was scared out of a cold sweat.
