When Su Yi said this name, Wang Yaqiao was obviously surprised.
What surprised him was not the high status of this man. What surprised him was that he came to Jinling this time just to meet Hu Zhantang. He had just met Hu Zhantang last night.
Who is Hu Zhantang?
He was the second-largest figure in the Guo Party after Huang Xing's death. He was Sun Deming's most trusted and loyal assistant, no one.
When Sun Deming died of illness, Hu Zhantang was acting as the acting generalissimo of the Kuomintang army. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have taken over Sun's position. Unfortunately, Wang Zhaoming, who was by Sun Yat-sen's side at the time, was responsible for drafting the prime minister's will and gained the support of the Soviet advisers first.
He became the leader that everyone expected after Sun Deming's death, replacing Hu Zhantang.
Later, Wang Zhaoming and Chang Kaishen joined forces to completely expel Hu Zhantang from the power center of the Guo Party.
How highly virtuous is this person?
To the extent that Chang and Wang need to join forces to defeat him!
But is Hu Zhantang just lying down?
not at all!
Later, Chang and Wang fought, and Chang Kaishen was at a disadvantage, so he had to invite the great master Hu Zhantang out again, and the two cooperated to fight Wang Zhaoming.
However, Hu Zhantang has been the No. 2 figure in the Kuomintang Party for a long time and is also the undeclared successor of the founding father. It is easy for Chang Kai to apply for a job but it is difficult to give him away. As Hu Zhantang’s power becomes more and more powerful, there is a tendency to replace him. Chang Kai
Shen began to be afraid, so he simply used a trick to trick Hu Zhantang into being placed under house arrest.
This incident happened in May last year.
Hu Zhantang was placed under house arrest, which caused an uproar. Warlords across the country opposed and protested. Wang Zhaoming even took the opportunity to unite the Guangdong army and the Guangxi clique to abnormal. The army even broke through Hengzhou for a time. However, due to the September 18th incident, the war had to be suspended.
Amid internal and external troubles, Chang Kaishen was forced to step down, resigned as head of state, and released Hu Zhantang.
It can be said that the fundamental reason for his dismissal was caused by Hu Zhantang.
Chang Kaishen's current position is the chairman of the Military Commission, not the head of state.
From 1931 to 1943, there was always someone else as the head of state in Guofu. This person's existence was extremely low. I am afraid that many people have never heard of this person's name - Lin Sen.
The only thing Lin Sen did that made a difference was to declare war on Germany, Italy, and Japan in the name of head of state in 1941.
Lin Sen made the head of state of Guofu a "virtual position", so much so that the Chinese people actually "have no head of state in their eyes, only the chairman of the committee."
Let’s go back to Hu Zhantang.
After Hu Zhantang was released, he began to devote himself to "abnormality", which gave Chang Kaishen a headache.
In fact, although Wang Yaqiao didn't say it, Su Yi knew that Lushan was a regular assassin, and Wang Yaqiao was taking people's money to eliminate disasters for them.
Whose money to take?
It belongs to Hu Zhantang.
Hu Zhantang was put under house arrest by Chang Kaishen for more than eight months. He hated the latter so much that he wanted to kill Chang Kaishen and then be quick.
Wang Yaqiao himself also wanted to kill Chang, and Hu Zhantang offered him two hundred thousand yuan, so he just went with the flow and agreed.
In short, Hu Zhantang is definitely a big shot, so big that he is hanging around under Chang Kaishen's nose, and Chang Kaishen can do nothing about him.
Chang Kaishen might have guessed that Hu Zhantang wanted to kill him, but he didn't dare to do anything to Hu Zhantang.
So think about it carefully, if Su Yi wants to assassinate Chang Kaishen in Jinling, the only person who is most likely to help him is this old man - Hu Zhantang!
"What do you want me to convince Mr. Hu?" Wang Yaqiao asked curiously.
"Let him go to the Jinling Garrison Headquarters to see Gu Zhenglun." Su Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
Wang Yaqiao was horrified and blurted out: "You are forcing Chang Kaishen to kill Mr. Hu!"
Who is Gu Zhenglun?
He is the commander-in-chief of the Jinling garrison, the first person to protect the safety of the capital, and the right-hand man Chang Kaishen relies on most.
Gu Zhenglun can be considered a veteran from the Tongmenghui period. He and Hu Zhantang are old acquaintances and can be considered Hu's old subordinates.
He is a man who adapts to the wind, speculates, and is best at flattering others. He is extremely submissive to Chang Kaishen, almost to the point of sucking hemorrhoids. This is also the main reason why he can win Chang Kaishen's trust even though he has always had an eye-catching relationship with CC.
reason.
Chang Kaishen knows his character well and knows that as long as his position is stable, Gu Zhenglun will be loyal to him and will never dare to make mistakes.
But if he, Chang Kaishen, loses power, then Gu Zhenglun may not necessarily continue to be loyal to him, Chang Kaishen.
In this situation, not long after Chang Kaishen was forced to let Hu Zhantang go, Hu Zhantang was secretly colluding with the warlords in Southwest China and Guangdong and Guangxi to oppose Chang Kaishen.
At this time, Hu Zhantang suddenly and inexplicably visited Gu Zhenglun, who held the power of the Jinling Garrison. What would Chang Kaishen think? Can he still sit still?
I'm afraid Chang Kaishen's first reaction was that Hu Zhantang wanted to persuade Gu Zhenglun to switch sides, stage a coup, and kill him.
With Chang Kai's character of retribution, he might be so frightened and angry that he might strike first and kill Hu Zhantang at the speed of lightning.
Wang Yaqiao was well versed in official politics. He knew very well how serious it was that Hu Zhantang visited Gu Zhenglun rashly, so he said that Su Yi's idea was to force Chang Kaishen to kill Hu Zhantang.
But Su Yi doesn't see it that way.
"Chang Kaishen would never dare to kill Hu Zhantang." Su Yi said, "If he dared to kill Hu Zhantang, why wait until now? Before he put Hu Zhantang under house arrest, Hu Zhantang's threat to him was not ten times greater than it is now? Did he take action?"
"By killing Hu Zhantang, he is renounced from the party-state. By then, the conflicts between him, warlords from all over the country, and Wang Zhaoming will become completely irreconcilable. His ambition of 'great unification' will be completely shattered. This is Chang Kai
The consequences are absolutely unacceptable to Shin."
Wang Yaqiao frowned and thought, and finally had to admit that what Su Yi said made sense.
Even if Hu Zhantang really goes to see Gu Zhenglun, and no matter how much Chang Kaishen wants to kill Hu Zhantang, as long as he still has political ambitions and ambitions, he will never dare to take action against Hu Zhantang.
"When Mr. Hu goes to see Gu Zhenglun, Chang Kaishen will definitely not sit idly by." Wang Yaqiao caught Su Yi's train of thought, "But Mr. Hu is stubborn and has a high moral character. Even in front of Chang Kaishen and Wang Zhaoming,
They dared to point their noses at them and scold them. No matter who Chang Kaishen sent to stop this matter, they would not achieve the effect he wanted. Only by going there in person could he frighten Gu Zhenglun and persuade Hu Zhantang to return.
…”
At this point, Wang Yaqiao couldn't help but frown: "Do you want to take action on the road? Or do you want to take action from the garrison headquarters? As long as you leave Huangpu, Chang Kaishen will have his guard regiment accompanying you all the way to protect you, and you will never find anyone who takes action.
Opportunity! If you want to be at the garrison headquarters, it will be even more impossible! As long as Chang Shenkai arrives at the garrison headquarters, Gu Zhenglun's subordinates will definitely respect Chang Kaishen, and it will be impossible to touch him by then. "
"How about planting a bomb on Chang Kaishen's way to the garrison?" Su Yi asked, "Chang Kaishen will definitely rush to stop him when he learns that Hu Zhantang has gone to the garrison headquarters, so he will
Take the shortest way there."
"This means that we know his whereabouts in advance. We can place bombs on the path that Chang Kaishen must pass before he goes out, and when he happens to pass by, we can detonate the bomb and kill him!"
The more Wang Yaqiao listened, the brighter his eyes became. He had to admit that Su Yi's plan was very feasible, and a group of them had been discussing for a long time but could not come up with a practical plan to assassinate Chang. However, as soon as Su Yi came, he gave
gave him a surprise.
However, this solution is neither safe nor perfect.
"Every time he travels, Chang Kaishen's motorcade meanders for miles." Wang Yaqiao said, "And he is always cautious. He often creates suspicions and creates several 'special cars' to hide from others. Which car is he sitting in?
, no one knows.”
"What's more, even if we figure out which car he's sitting in, it's still a problem whether we can hit him accurately. The car is going very fast, like a white horse passing through a gap. We only have a split second to take action. We can't seize it.
The action failed completely. The risk was too great and the failure rate was too high!”
"Once we fail, what awaits us will be a city-wide blockade and a blanket manhunt. By then our losses will be heavy..."
"The most important thing is that all this is based on the premise that Mr. Hu agrees to serve as bait for us. It is difficult to convince Mr. Hu to agree to such an assassination plan that is extremely risky and difficult to succeed."
"I didn't say that this was a real assassination plan." Su Yi knocked on the table with a smile, "The purpose of detonating a bomb on the road was just to arouse the enemy."
"Snatch the enemy?" Wang Yaqiao was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"First of all, we can confirm that as long as we can lure the snake out of the hole and plant a bomb on Chang Kaishen's only path in advance, this step can be done, right?" Su Yi said.
"Okay." Wang Yaqiao nodded seriously, "But it's very likely that Chang Kaishen won't be killed."
"Of course it's best to be able to deal with him at once, but if you can't deal with him, it doesn't matter, as long as the bomb goes off." Su Yi said, "We might as well think about the subsequent development. The bomb exploded, but Chang Kaishen didn't die. Guess he
What will you do?"
"He will never be implicated again. I bet he will return to Whampoa Military Academy." Wang Yaqiao said without hesitation.
"What about his security team?" Su Yi asked.
Wang Yaqiao's eyes flashed, his brain worked rapidly, and he mused: "He will definitely doubt Mr. Hu, and he will also be more worried about whether Gu Zhenglun has betrayed him, so he will most likely send his guard regiment to surround the garrison headquarters and control the situation."
Having said this, Wang Yaqiao understood something again, and couldn't help frowning and looking at Su Yi: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain? Do you want to mobilize the guard regiment and then assassinate? But Chang Kaishen will definitely return to his rest house, and he is sure that he will definitely
Only when it is safe will they send out their own guard regiment. You are right to mobilize the guard regiment, but Chang Kaishen has also returned to his den. In Whampoa Military Academy, there are more than 3,000 teachers and students, all of whom are Chang Kaishen
Guards, no one can assassinate him there!"
"Chang Kaishen must think so too," Su Yi narrowed his eyes, "Not only Chang Kaishen, but also Dai Chunfeng, all the teachers and students of Huangpu Military Academy, and even people all over the world will think that no one can do it in Huangpu
In the military academy, kill Chang Kaishen!"
Wang Yaqiao's heart was beating fast and she looked at Su Yi excitedly.
As expected, Su Yi said something that made him excited and excited.
"When everyone thought it was impossible, my chance to succeed came." Su Yi said slowly, "I have a way to kill Chang Kaishen in Whampoa Military Academy!"
"What can we do?" Wang Yaqiao asked excitedly.
Su Yi smiled and shook his head, showing an apologetic expression: "Brother Ninth, this matter involves other people's lives. Please forgive me for not revealing too much. I can only say that I can sneak into Chang Kaishen's resting house safely.
Waiting there for his return."
Wang Yaqiao was horrified: "Brother Geng, this is no joke! Do you know how many strict inspections are required to enter the Qilu? At least three! Even Mr. Hu wants to go to the Qilu to see Chang Kaishen
, he can’t even bring an extra piece of paper or pen in! How could you sneak in? "
"In short, I am 100% sure!" Su Yi showed a confident look and said with certainty, "Brother Ninth, if it were not the case, I would not talk about the assassination!"
Wang Yaqiao's face was cloudy and uncertain, with a look of deliberation on his face.
"In short, I came to Brother Ninth this time for two things. First, to ask Brother Ninth to persuade Hu Zhantang to cooperate with us; second, to detonate a bomb on the road that Chang Kaishen must pass."
"Brother Ninth, as long as you do these two things, leave the rest to me!"
"Brother Geng, once you take action on this matter, there will be no turning back!" Wang Yaqiao looked deeply at Su Yi, "Once I make a decision, the lives of the brothers outside, including Mr. Hu, will all be at stake here.
The matter has been discussed! But how did you kill Chang Kaishen? In fact, you didn’t reveal it at all..."
"That's right." Su Yi nodded, "Not only that, but for some reasons, I only have one chance tonight. If I don't succeed before dawn tomorrow, this assassination will be declared a complete failure! Time is against you.
For me, it’s very urgent!”
"You're asking me to risk everyone's lives to gamble with you!" Wang Yaqiao smiled bitterly, "But you didn't even tell me the rules of winning and losing."
"So Ninth Brother, are you willing to take a gamble with me?" Su Yi smiled.
"Of course I have to bet!" Wang Yaqiao's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand resolutely, "If it were anyone else, I would never follow, but Brother Geng you are an exception! In Jinmen, you took a huge risk to send me out of the country;
In the heavily guarded Liuguo Hotel in Peking, you entered as soon as you asked and easily killed Zhang Jingyao, a traitor!"
"Whether it's because of your kindness to me or your own ability, I have no reason to reject you! What's more, in the final analysis, you are the one who takes the biggest risk! Xiao Geng, tell me the truth, even if you can
Sneak into the military academy, but can you get out safely?"
Su Yi was silent.
He is not lying. Whether he can evacuate safely depends on luck. This thing itself is impossible without taking some risks. The chance of success is a miracle. If you want to escape unscathed...
Easier said than done?
Su Yi's silence made Wang Yaqiao even more moved and emotional. He couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Geng, it seems that you have put life and death aside."
