469 [The ass is crooked, the head is not easy to use]
While Zhou Hexuan was wandering at sea, several major events occurred in China.
First, Japan's military and political officials decided to celebrate the Emperor's birthday in Shanghai's Hongkou Park and hold a "Songhu War Victory Ceremony" at the same time.
Chen Mingshu, who was the Songhu garrison commander at the time, was very angry, so he approached the "assassination king" Wang Yaqiao, and the two planned an assassination operation to destroy the Japanese celebrations.
Because the Japanese were very vigilant and did not allow any Chinese to participate in the "Vietnam Congratulations Conference", Wang Yaqiao invited the Koreans in exile in Shanghai to take charge. Wang Yaqiao found An Changhao and provided 40,000 yuan in funds, and An Changhao found Jin Jiulai.
Specific implementation.
Jin Jiu found Yun Bongji, who was proficient in Japanese, and he sneaked into the Japanese army's "Victory Congratulations". The man rushed to a few meters away from the rostrum and dropped a bomb disguised as a kettle into a crowd of Japanese military and political dignitaries.
Sadaji Kawabata, Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the Japanese Militia in Shanghai, was killed on the spot. Yoshinori Shirakawa, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Expeditionary Force in Shanghai (Army General), was hit by 204 shrapnel and died after nearly a month of resuscitation. Ueda, Commander of the Japanese 9th Division
Kenyoshi and the Japanese Minister to China, Aoi Shigemitsu, both had one leg broken, and many Japanese officers and soldiers were injured or killed.
Yin Fengji, who was responsible for the assassination operation, was arrested on the spot. Then the Japanese army retaliated wildly against the Koreans in the French Concession in Shanghai, and 17 people including An Changhao were arrested. Jin Jiu claimed through Reuters that he was the mastermind and warned Japan not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Finally, under Chu Fucheng (
He managed to escape with the help of the guy who banged the table at the national crisis meeting).
The initiator of this assassination operation was Chen Mingshu, the chief planner was Wang Yaqiao, the liaison person was Ahn Changhao, and the specific planners and implementers were Jin Jiu and Yin Fengji. It can be described as a successful international cooperation between China and North Korea. (In a forum, he mocked the old man.
Wang Ditan Literature Guy, you can take a rest, Wang Yaqiao is right to plot the assassination of Shirakawa Yoshinori, don’t just remember South Korea’s Jin Jiu)
News of Shirakawa Yoshinori's death brought great shock to both China and Japan. Because this guy had served as Minister of War and actively advocated the use of force to conquer China. He was also the first commander of the Kwantung Army to disobey orders and act without authorization.
Guo Songling rebelled and deployed the Kwantung Army in large areas of Northeast China.
It can be said that if the Kwantung Army successfully invaded Northeast China, Shirakawa Yoshinori's contribution would not only rank first, but at least rank among the top five.
This guy was actually assassinated and bombed to death. The whole Chinese people rejoiced and many patriots spontaneously set off firecrackers in celebration.
The Emperor of Japan decreed that Shirakawa Yoshinori be granted the title of baron, and wrote a poem to express his condolences: "Girl Hina pays tribute to the sun, when the war ends and peace is planned. The great achievements will be indelible, and will be remembered for a long time."
Chinese newspapers also wrote two poems for Shirakawa Yoshinori: "Come on a warship, leave in a coffin."
Shirakawa Yoshinori was the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army that invaded Shanghai. He was seriously injured in the bombing and was rescued. The Battle of Songhu was immediately unable to start. China and Japan quickly accelerated the pace of peace talks. With the mediation of various powers, the two countries concluded in May
The "Songhu Armistice Agreement" was signed on the 5th.
The armistice agreement was signed in a hurry. Both sides wanted to finish it as soon as possible. The performance of the Nanjing National Government once again showed that it was weak and can be bullied.
When Zhou Hexuan had secret talks with Chang Kaishen in Luoyang, he had already analyzed the situation very clearly. He hoped that the central government would be tougher. Chang Kaishen also said that he would be tough, but during the actual negotiations, he would not care about anything in order to make peace with the situation.
The "Songhu Armistice Agreement" actually classified Shanghai as a "non-war zone". While stipulating that the Japanese troops must withdraw, it also stipulated that the Chinese troops were not allowed to be stationed in Shanghai, in order to please friendly countries (powers).
China's territory has been invaded for no reason. After the armistice, Chinese troops were not allowed to station. Fortunately, this regulation is only temporary.
To tell a joke, although the two warring parties in the Battle of Songhu were China and Japan, they were actually reduced to supporting roles during the settlement period, and the major powers were the real protagonists.
The United Kingdom sent 10 warships and more than 6,000 troops to Shanghai. The United States concentrated all warships in Asia in Shanghai, up to 17 ships. France also increased its military strength in Shanghai to 3,000 men. Neither China nor Japan dared to fight anymore for fear of themselves.
Acting too tough will anger these European and American powers.
The three countries of Britain, France and the United States are biological fathers. It doesn't matter if two sons fight. But now if they want to destroy the family's things (interests in China), then we will definitely not tolerate it. Whoever dares to move again will be spanked.
In fact, both China and Japan have been frightened by the European and American powers, and what is popular in the world today is "appeasement." Even if China and Japan go to full-scale war, Britain, France, and the United States will at most condemn them. Their warships are just to scare people.
It's impossible to actually fire.
The difference is that Japan was really intimidated. Although the real goal of the "December 28th Incident" was to divert attention, the Japanese military has never been short of lunatics. Many guys wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fully invade China. The intimidation of the great powers actually curbed
The scale of the war expanded.
China, on the other hand, is happy to be intimidated by the big powers. The more ferocious the battle arrayed by the big powers, the happier people like Chang Kaishen and Wang Zhaoming will be, because they really do not want to fight and do not dare to fight.
Although the Battle of Songhu was successfully resolved, Chang Kaishen's prestige fell rapidly. All walks of life across the country were clamoring to take back the Northeast and establish a democratic constitution. On the one hand, Chang Kaishen quickly tried to divert people's attention, and on the other hand, he wanted to unify and consolidate military power.
Announced the policy of "Anti-foreign forces must first pacify the internal situation", and regardless of the central government's huge fiscal deficit, the army was mobilized and began to encircle and suppress the red areas.
Half a month after the signing of the "Songhu Armistice Agreement," Chang Kaishen appointed himself the "Commander-in-Chief of Bandit Suppression" and wasted money and food to continue fighting the civil war.
In fact, due to China's vast territory and abundant resources, economic development during the Republic of China was not slow. According to incomplete statistics, during the golden decade of 1927-1937, China's GDP growth probably reached 9%. If it continues to develop peacefully, let alone catch up.
The Premier League is beautiful, but it is completely possible to catch up with Japan.
Unfortunately, the dividends brought by economic development have been exhausted in successive years of civil war. The lives of ordinary citizens have not improved at all, and the country's military technology has also developed slowly. Until Japan fully invaded China, the central government was still in debt.
, on the contrary, the four major families made a lot of money.
Especially those big conglomerates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regretted that they actually supported Chang Kaishen, a white-eyed wolf, in the Northern Expedition. Now that Chang Kaishen has become the boss, not only did he not repay them, but he intensified his plundering. The four major families used various means to embezzle their wealth.
Benefit.
When Zhou Hexuan's Europeans learned the contents of the "Songhu Armistice Agreement," they could only sigh. He told Chang Kaishen everything he needed to say, and Chang Kaishen also humbly accepted the advice, but in the end nothing changed.
The head is a good thing, but the butt often determines the head.
