In this year, although Guofu has repeatedly deceived the people, whitewashed peace, and suffered corruption and other bad scandals, in general, the people still have basic trust and expectations for their government.
As the mouthpiece of the party-state, China Daily naturally represents authority and official voice in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, with the publication of China Daily, the vast majority of the people finally believed this fact, which was like a fantasy.
There really is a patriotic assassin organization, named after Two Kickers!
This two-kicking assassination group really did something earth-shattering in the enemy headquarters surrounded by heavy troops!
In a domestic public opinion environment that was generally pessimistic about the Battle of Jehol, the sudden occurrence of such a "countercurrent" reversal undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale and confidence of the Chinese people in this war.
Especially the beheading of Nishi Giichi, the Japanese bandit chief, made the people of the country cheer and cheer loudly.
In such an atmosphere of national celebration, newspapers across the country published reports one after another. In addition to reporting this "good news", they also published lengthy and enthusiastic praise for the Erkiji Assassination Group.
Er Kiji is known as "China's No. 1 Hero". Although people still don't know who Er Kiji is and how many there are, this does not hinder that many Chinese people have regarded Er Kiji as their idol.
He became the most loyal supporter of the Erkiji Assassination Group.
Gradually, some newspapers began to speculate on who the leader of the Erkiji assassination group was.
Some newspapers listed several candidates, including Geng Liangchen.
However, newspapers generally ruled out Geng Liangchen as an option, because in their view, although the "Jinmen Hero" assassinated the traitor Zhang Jingyao, he is now injured and is recovering in his own apartment. It is impossible for him to appear in hot spots.
river.
Moreover, Geng Liangchen's recuperation at home has been confirmed by some people.
The most vocal suspect is Wang Yaqiao, who is known as the number one killer in the Republic of China.
On the surface, Wang Yaqiao is very likely to be the leader of the second kicker!
First of all, they are in Rehe.
Secondly, as the number one killer, especially nine months ago, he successfully assassinated Army General Shirakawa Yoshinori in the Magic City, seriously injured Shigemitsu Aoi, and caused the death and injury of thirteen high-ranking Zhepeng officials and senior generals. This person is
There are "successful precedents".
Finally, and most importantly, He Poguang's sacrifice and the confirmation of his identity almost clearly point to Wang Yaqiao.
Most newspapers are just guessing, and their wording is ambiguous, using uncertain words such as "maybe", "probably" and "high probability".
However, there is also a small number of newspapers that have firmly assigned the title of Erkiji to Wang Yaqiao, and they have written eloquently, praising Wang Ya Bridge as unique in the world, and saying that Wang Ya Bridge is the "secret" of defeating the Zhe Peng people.
weapon", or "key person".
To a certain extent, these newspapers cater to the rising nationalist sentiments of the Chinese people, but there are also discerning people who can see the sinister intentions of these newspapers at a glance.
"This is killing with flattery! This is killing with a borrowed knife!" an upright scholar told the reporter angrily, "They speak with certainty about things that are obviously not yet certain, knowing that saying so will only make the Zhepeng people take it more seriously.
The Erkiqi organization, they are still scaremongering and make the Erkiqi assassination group the hope of the whole country!"
"Why do they say that? Do they really think that all the people in the country are blind and their hearts are stupid? Shameless! Shameless! From ancient times to the present, such despicable and shameless people are rare to see in a century! It is no exaggeration to say that
, This is the behavior of a traitor! It is disguised as a flower, but in reality it is a traitor’s behavior!"
These heated controversies are happening almost all over the country.
Wang Yaqiao has many enemies, and there are countless people who want him dead. It is true that people pretend to be loyal and kill him, but who is the mastermind behind it?
It's like a fog, making it difficult to see what's going on.
In addition to Wang Yaqiao, there is another person who has also become a hot topic in national public opinion and has become a "person of the hour".
This person is Tang Yulin.
Whatever praise he had received earlier, now his infamy has been returned tenfold.
The name Tang Yulin is simply a bad name.
After "Opium General", he successfully earned himself a new codename - Marshal Bastard.
The tortoise is also a tortoise. This creature likes to shrink its head in order to gain longevity.
Before the name "Er Kicking" became known to the outside world, Tang Yulin's "good news" made people across the country look at him with admiration, and a lot of praise came to him like a downpour.
Many people were so excited that they burst into tears. There were even some literati and poets who were thinking of ways to write poems and articles for him.
But now, these literati and poets just want to tear up the paper and burn it, and then crush the pen they just used and throw it away.
Those who rejoiced and burst into tears because Tang Yulin "resisted the Japanese aggressors and protected our mountains and rivers" felt as disgusting as if they had been force-fed a piece of shit.
They thought that the "patriotic iron-blooded general" who was a prodigal son who could not be exchanged for gold was actually still the same old dog-eat-dog. He cowered in the summer city in fear of the enemy before Erqiji sacrificed his life to buy him a good opportunity to reverse the situation of the war.
They stood still and watched as all their fighters were lost, allowing the three brigades of the Eighth Division to retreat calmly without suffering any damage.
He failed to live up to the results that Erjiqiu worked hard for, and also failed to live up to the expectations of the people across the country.
That's all. At best, he is incompetent, stupid, and cowardly.
But he shamelessly took the credit for himself, claiming that he was responsible for guarding the summer city, which made the Eighth Division "fearful and flee"!
This is not stupid, this is shameless and bad!
The criticism was overwhelming, but did it have any impact on Tang Yulin?
There will still be subsequent effects, but at least not yet.
As an opium general, Tang Yulin no longer cared about the reputation of the people. Instead of being ashamed, he felt complacent about his wit.
He even felt confident about his "credit".
Marshal Zhang called to question him, but he just asked: "Are the Japanese retreating?"
As long as it is true that the Japanese retreated, this is Tang Yulin's contribution, and no one can take it away.
He really thinks so, although he does not deny that his credit "has an element of luck".
The war situation in Rehe seems to be turning around, but the senior officials of the Guo Mansion are still busy fighting for power. Everyone, including Marshal Zhang, is still generally not optimistic about the situation in Rehe.
The reason is naturally due to the all-round disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, as well as the unreliable Rehe Chairman Tang Yulin.
They believe that local temporary success or failure will not affect the final result and the overall situation. The fall of Rehe is almost a foregone conclusion. Everything they are doing now is actually a desperate struggle to give an explanation to the people across the country.
And since Tang Yulin's reputation had already spread to the streets, they had someone to take the blame for, and they boldly stopped the supply of supplies to Rehe.
As for Zhe Peng, because the photos of the 8th Division headquarters site were openly published in Western newspapers, their face was completely disgraced.
Muto Yoshinobu, who had just arrived in the Splendid State, was furious when he heard about this incident. He personally called Dohi Madoka Kenji, the chief of the top secret service agency of the Special High School, and ordered him to conduct a thorough investigation in person. No matter who was involved, he would never tolerate it!
Madoka Doi quickly gave Muto Nobuyoshi the answer - a Colonel officer who became an intelligence broker because of his greed for dollars. He was abandoned and escorted back to the country along with more than a dozen other officers. What awaited them was a severe trial by the Edo Military Court.
Because of the unfavorable public opinion environment, Muto Yoshinobu once again asked the spy chief Madoka Doi to cooperate to reverse the negative image caused by this incident.
Madoka Doi took over the task at the critical moment and began to launch a public opinion war.
He cleverly activated some "traitor public intellectuals" and began to publish some questioning voices in some newspapers close to Zhe Peng.
For example, some people question that war is a national event and represents the image of the country, while assassination is a despicable and cruel act that should be cast aside. Will Erkiji assassinate an enemy general "surprise the friendly countries" and have any impact on the consequences?
Does it have the effect of creating distrust or even contempt for the government?
Some people still question, can killing a few enemy generals really change the war? If it can, then all countries might as well train assassins. Why spend money and material resources to build armies? After all, assassination is a small way, no matter how hard it is, Wang Yaqiao
No matter what, they are just superficial and do not understand the overall situation. Such a momentary courage does not deserve too much praise from people.
What's more, some people even accused Erqiji of being reckless and ignorant and harming the country. Because they felt that assassination would not solve any problems, but would anger the Zhepeng people, causing the Zhepeng people to take out their anger on the people and carry out murders on the people.
Bloody revenge.
Therefore, Er Kiji did this just for his own pleasure, without caring about the life and death of the people. This man appealed to Er Kiji not to act anymore, to make excuses for the Zhepeng people to harm the people, and to hand him the knife.
There are further extensions to this view. Some people agree with this statement and say that if Erqiji is really a hero who is willing to serve the country, then he should "be a good man and do things like a good man" and take the initiative to find the Zhepeng people and surrender.
Instead of enjoying the cheers himself, let innocent people become the victims of Erjiqiu's "fishing for fame". If Erjiqiu really did this, this person might even praise him as "man", otherwise, he would despise Erqijia...
Is it true that someone’s mind can be so twisted that they ignore facts and right and wrong?
Can someone’s views really go against morality and common sense?
In fact, no. As intelligent and advanced creatures, humans have been educated to be kind since childhood, and it is impossible not to have a basic sense of right and wrong and a sense of morality.
But he still said so, and even thought so...
That's bad.
Or tell lies with your eyes open.
In order to match what these traitors said, Doi Madoka also suggested that Muto Yixin really took over the newly occupied areas in Chaoyang, Nanling, Kailu, and Beipiao, and executed 380 people at once, and attacked more than a thousand people.
"anti-Japanese elements"!
These "anti-Japanese elements" were all randomly arrested on the streets!
This is Hongguoguo’s bloody revenge!
Not only did they retaliate, the Zhepeng people also went against the norm this time and allowed the media to publicize their atrocities.
They categorically said that this was just some stubborn anti-Japanese elements who committed "violations and violations of laws and disciplines" and that they were "executed in accordance with the law" in accordance with wartime laws. However, the sensitive number of 380 simply revealed their deliberate revenge.
undoubtedly!
Tenfold revenge!
This is the attitude that Zhepeng people want to express!
This incident caused an uproar in public opinion across the country, and all walks of life were indignant at Zhe Peng's brutal behavior.
But at the same time, the voices opposing Erqiji began to grow stronger because of this incident.
Many celebrities jumped out and said that Er Kiji should be responsible for the tragic deaths of more than a thousand innocent people. If it weren't for his reckless behavior, more than a thousand innocent people would not have died tragically.
Although the people felt that the devil Xiao Zhepeng was more to blame for this incident, under the subtle influence of public opinion, they also had some complaints against Erqiji.
After all, so many well-educated gentlemen say that Erqiji is a reckless person.
The hero who was originally praised by everyone suddenly became a mixed bag of praise and praise overnight.
This is evident from the unpredictable nature of world affairs.
When Su Yi knew about this, he had already met with Hua Kezhi and others in Yebaishou County, at the intelligence station of the Three Youth League.
The news was told to him by Liu Haiqing. As the country's largest intelligence chief, Liu Haiqing was still relatively young, but his business had already spread, so he was naturally very well-informed.
"Xiao Geng, why don't you stop temporarily." Liu Haiqing advised on the phone, "Public opinion is very unfavorable to you now, and if you kill again, the Japanese are already on guard, and it will be difficult for you to succeed. Even if you succeed,
The bloody revenge of the Japanese will be placed on you again."
Su Yi sneered: "Put it on me? Did I kill the person? Aren't these innocent people killed by the Japanese?"
"Japs are just beasts, but you are a good person..."
"Good people should be pointed at gunpoint? What kind of bullshit is this?" Su Yi sneered, "I don't care how the so-called public opinion describes me, I only do what I think I should do! Those innocent people were
The people who were killed are very pitiful, but these are troubled times! This is the tragedy that slaves who have subjugated their country must face!"
"I know I can't persuade you." Liu Haiqing sighed, "But can your body still hold on? Tomorrow, your medicine will be over and you will enter a period of weakness. You don't really want to
Is this where my fate lies?"
"Of course not." Su Yi said, "I asked Luo Yu. He has a way to stabilize me in this situation. And now that I am not alone, I don't need to do everything myself. What's more, what you said before
You're right. The Japanese are now on guard against me. If they want to assassinate me again, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. I will definitely slow down my future actions."
"Who do you want to deal with next?" Liu Haiqing asked.
"I originally wanted to deal with the Zhe Peng defenders in Lingyuan," Su Yi said, "but now that they have all retreated to Chaoyang City, it is difficult to do anything. How is the situation over there?"
"There is a stalemate." Liu Haiqing sighed, "We are in urgent need of supplies. There is also Marshal Zhang in Jinling who only said that he would find a way to coordinate, but there has been no progress."
Su Yi sneered: "Maybe they don't want anything to happen."
