The true biography of Yaqiao, the first chivalrous king of the Republic of China

Chapter 55
The "Letton Report" is divided into eight chapters, with 10,000+ words in eloquence. It elaborates on the situation in China, the truth of the incident, and Japan's actions after the incident. It cannot be regarded as a solution to legitimate self-defense." But it also claimed that Japan has special interests in Northeast China and has contributed to the economic development of Northeast China, "recognizes Japan's interests in Manchuria. Japan's rights and interests in Manchuria cannot be ignored fact".It even suggested "international co-management" of Northeast China. After the "Lytton Report" was announced, the Chinese were greatly disappointed, and they gathered and condemned it.Hu Yuzhi commented in the "Oriental" magazine, pointing out sharply: "This report does not ask whether it can have the effect of solving the incident, but the content of his text can always be used as an excuse for foreign powers to interfere in China."

On the evening of September 9, after the Litton investigation team arrived in Shanghai, various newspapers reported it one after another, and for a while, the "Letton Report" became the talk of the town.That night, at the Grand China Hotel on Sima Road, Wang Yaqiao met in secret with anti-Jiang and anti-Japanese friends Shen Junru, Chu Fucheng, Zhu Ziqiao, Xu Shiying, Wu Mai, Li Cishan, Xu Jigong and other celebrities from all walks of life to discuss countermeasures.After a few glasses of wine, everyone expressed their opinions. Some proposed to jointly issue a telegram, express their attitude, and publicly protest; The group stayed at the Huamao Hotel for a demonstration... Wang Yaqiao frowned, smoking one cigarette after another.

It's late at night, I've had enough wine, and I've finished talking.Everyone blushed and felt strange: Wang Yaqiao usually speaks quickly, why is he dumb today?
"Wang Jiu, we've explained everything, why didn't you say a word?" Shen Junru asked.

"I...everyone has a different opinion, and what you say makes sense. If you let me say it, I am a real person and I will not tell lies. The Litton investigation team was sent by the League of Nations to uphold international justice. Now it seems that the ass decides the head The "Lytton Report" is essentially sacrificing China to protect the interests of imperialist countries. There is no justice at all. Since the forest principle is followed in the world, the weak prey on the strong, and the power of the strong does not speak of justice, then there is only one way..." He paused, and slashed down with his palm like an axe, "He is unkind, and I am unrighteous. We can only resort to force and kill Li Dun!"

As soon as the words came out, the venue was noisy.Some applauded, some shouted "You have kindness", and some shook their heads, not sure whether they were in favor or against.

After the meeting ended, Wang Yaqiao went to Dahua Apartment to hold an emergency meeting to study the assassination plan.

The next night, five people including Gong Chunpu, Long Lin, and Tang Ming checked into the Huamao Hotel respectively.After secret investigation, there are only nine sets of first-class guest rooms in the hotel, which are decorated in the styles of nine countries including China, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan, Italy, Spain and India.Lytton lived in the Indian suite.The floor where the investigation team is located is on high alert. Yang Hu, director of security in Shanghai, sits in person. Police are stationed in front of each first-class guest room. There are special elevators for guests to enter and exit the hotel.Gong Chunpu and others decided to ambush Li Dun at the gate that must be passed through.

At night, the lights are shining brightly, and there are few pedestrians.Li Dun and others did not return for a long time.Gong Chunpu waited impatiently.However, after waiting and waiting, the "little loach" came.He winked at Gong Chunpu, who was drinking coffee in the hall, and walked into the public toilet.Later, Gong Chunpu followed in.

"Any new instructions?"

"Boss Zheng asked me to inform you and stop the action immediately."

"what why?"

"I don't know. Boss Zheng just asked me to tell you to stop." After finishing speaking, "Little Loach" washed his face with water, grabbed a dry square towel prepared on the marble sink, wiped his face, and left first. .

Full of suspicion, Gong Chunpu sent a retreat signal to the other four team members, and then, according to the prior agreement, everyone came to the European War Victory Monument on the Bund one after another.After whispering for a long time, no one could guess why Brother Jiu temporarily canceled the assassination plan.According to organizational principles, on the second day after the operation ends or is canceled, all pistols must be handed in for unified storage.

Long Lin said in a low voice: "We have been busy for a whole day, and we haven't even caught a dick. It's really angry!"

"If you didn't catch it, you didn't catch it. You know Brother Ninth's temper. If you tell him to go back, who would dare not go back?" Gong Chunpu criticized.

"Why don't you take the opportunity to do something."

"It's so late, what can we do?"

Tang Ming blinked his eyes and said, "Basically, all businesses on the Bund are closed. I passed Chunmao Bank just now, and the lights were still on inside."

"Then...then let's go to Chunmao Bank to borrow some change, shall we?" Long Lin asked.

Among the five people, four agreed, and only Gong Chunpu objected.

"You don't want to go. Brother Gong, didn't you see that these days, Brother Jiu sent all the valuables at home to the pawn shop in order to fight against the Japanese? We are all good brothers of Brother Jiu, how can we see Let him work so hard for everyone's livelihood?" Long Lin asked.

Gong Chunpu couldn't speak with his hands alone, so he didn't say a word.

So they took out the long handkerchiefs they carried with them and tied them on their faces.The three entered the bank to rob, and the two covered at the door.There were only two employees in Chunmao Bank, and when they saw the three gangsters rushing in, they didn't yell or resist, they hid obediently in the corner of the wall, raised their hands high, facing the wall, and let them scratch.Long Lin went straight to the telephone and disconnected the line.He knew that this operation was to beat rabbits with grass, and there were many patrolmen in the Bund area, so he didn't dare to be greedy for money, but just poured all the whole money and small change in the desk drawer into a cloth bag; A staff member gagged his mouth with a towel and bound his hands and feet.Then, the three of them hurried out and ran towards the darkness.

However, they didn't go far, and the sirens were all around, and there were machine guns in the watchtowers at every intersection.Patrolmen surrounded him like a tide from all directions.Seeing that the situation was not good, Gong Chunpu whispered to his subordinates: "Throw that guy away quickly, and run for your own lives." So everyone threw away their pistols and money bags and "broke through" separately.However, it was too late.The British and Indian police had already set up a net and captured the five people one by one.

That night, they deserved to be unlucky.

Since Litton and others knew that the Chinese were very dissatisfied with the "Report", they would be bored if they stayed longer, and they were also worried about complications.So, when they arrived in Shanghai, they were going to take a British cruise ship at 23 o'clock the next day to return home. Out of courtesy, Mayor Wu Tiecheng held a farewell banquet for the investigation team on behalf of the Chinese government and Shanghai.Considering that the time was too tight, Li Dun asked the members to check out early and take their luggage to the banquet. Therefore, the assassination team waited in vain.However, Li Guofeng was deeply shocked when he learned that Wang Yaqiao had sent someone to assassinate Li Dun. That evening, he went to find Wang Yaqiao and tried to persuade him not to act recklessly. , lead to international incidents, then, in the arms of the Japanese, the Chinese nation will be burned, and it will pay a price greater than that of the Eight-Power Allied Forces invading China.By that time, you, Wang Jiu, will be a national sinner!Wang Yaqiao was finally persuaded by him and decided to suspend the assassination plan.

The Chunmao Bank was robbed not long ago. In order to ensure the safety of the bank and catch the robbers in time, the patrol room installed a special electric bell on the second floor of the Chunmao Bank. Next to the bell, the bank sent people on duty 24 hours a day.Once the robbers come to the door, the downstairs staff don't have to resist, and the upstairs watchman sends a signal, and the patrol room will act according to the containment plan.Therefore, Long Lin and others were all arrested.In court, guns, purses, witnesses, and physical evidence were all available, and Gong Chunpu and others could not deny them. Wang Yaqiao used many social connections to go to the police station and the court to clear up. Unfortunately, the case was serious and the evidence was solid, so it didn't work.In the end, the court sentenced Gong Chunpu and others to death.

Ever since they caught up with Wang Yaqiao, these people had already pinned their heads to their waistbands and were not afraid of death at all.However, they felt that they were all men of indomitable spirit, and it was too embarrassing to spread the word that they were executed for robbing a bank. "When a husband lives in the world, he makes a name for himself, and when he makes a name for himself, he comforts his life." Therefore, after the death sentence was pronounced, they tried their best to take over all the cases of assassinating Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen.The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.The authorities in the British Concession felt that the matter was serious, and quickly notified the Shanghai Police Station; the Shanghai Police Station did not dare to neglect, and immediately reported it to Nanjing.

After Chiang Kai-shek heard the news, he was furious, called Dai Li to his side, scolded him, and ordered him to take someone to Shanghai immediately, offering a reward of 10 yuan, and Wang Yaqiao must be arrested and brought to justice.This reward is on the same level as Lin Biao, Xu Haidong and other senior Red Army generals.Because of the joint war of resistance, the relationship between Jiang and Wang who had just eased became acute again.

Facing the net of heaven and earth under which his brother Dai Li was cast, can Wang Yaqiao fly high?
