Yamashita Kinnosuke resolutely drew his gun and shot at the man on the high platform. He had long been brainwashed by Japan's militaristic education.
International students in Japan are divided into two types: government-funded and self-funded.
In the early years of Meiji, the Japanese government sent a large number of overseas students to study in Europe and the United States. It turned out that these students were all children of high-ranking officials and nobles, which was a waste of the country's precious study abroad expenses. Emperor Meiji was furious and ordered all international students to return to their country for testing, and those who failed were cancelled.
Study abroad status.
Even so, all Japanese students studying abroad during the Meiji Restoration era still came from wealthy families.
However, during the Taisho period, with the popularization of compulsory education, more and more common people appeared among Japanese students studying abroad.
Yamashita Kinnosuke's father was a traditional craftsman. When he was 13 years old, the government tightened its control over the education field. Japanese textbooks began to gradually become militarized, and all content that was unfavorable to the Japanese government and the emperor was deleted.
After nine years of brainwashing through militaristic education, Yamashita Kinnosuke is now filled with thoughts of loyalty to the emperor. What's more, he is a government-sponsored overseas student and receives a subsidy of 2,500 yen per year, which is equivalent to two days' salary for an ordinary lecturer at Tokyo Imperial University.
Double the annual salary, it can maintain the minimum living expenses of ordinary citizens in Tokyo for 24 years.
In Yamashita Kinnosuke's view, since the country used such a huge amount of money to support his study abroad, he must serve the motherland and the emperor.
Killing Zhou Hexuan is the greatest act of loyalty to the emperor!
It's a pity that the people around him are cowards. Yamashita Kinnosuke secretly connected for more than half a month, but only found two like-minded people. Especially those rich and noble children, they don't even have the courage to kill, they are simply a bunch of cowards!
Not only that, some people were actually bewitched by Zhou Hexuan and began to reflect on the injustice of Japan's invasion of China.
Then, let me solve all this with my own hands!
"One, two...three! Do it!"
Following the shouts of Yamashita Kinnosuke, he and his two companions threw bombs on the podium at the same time.
The bombs were homemade. Yamashita Kinnosuke was studying chemistry. He only made three bombs this time because there was no time for him to drop more bombs.
The moment after dropping the bomb, three Japanese students raised their guns and fired, all aiming at Zhou Hexuan on the stage.
The podium was temporarily built with wooden boards, about 5 meters high and 3 meters wide. Perhaps because of too much nervousness, the two bombs flew directly over the podium and fell into the crowd behind.
The ball thrown by Yamashita Kinnosuke rolled to Zhou Hexuan's feet.
Zhou Hexuan was talking enthusiastically when he caught a glimpse of a black thing rolling towards him from the corner of his eye. He subconsciously raised his foot and kicked it away.
The moment the bomb was kicked away by Zhou Hexuan, a gunshot rang out. Zhou Hexuan was shot three times in the left shoulder, abdomen, and calf, and a bullet flew past his head, knocking off half of his ear.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The gunshots continued to ring out, and the three Japanese students had fallen into a state of madness. They completely forgot to leave a bullet for themselves and only kept pulling the trigger.
Since Emperor Hirohito came to power, Japan has begun to strengthen militarism education. It not only brainwashes students ideologically, but also incorporates military training into educational courses. The three foreign students have all practiced shooting in school. Their marksmanship is very accurate, and each of them fired
The first shot all hit the target.
But they were amateurs after all, and when they fired the next few shots, bullets were flying all over the sky. They were obviously shaken by the recoil of the pistol and couldn't find their way around.
Zhou Hexuan's reaction was very quick. The moment he was shot, he subconsciously jumped to the side and fell down to avoid it. However, the moment he fell to the ground, he was shot again. This time, he took the initiative to move forward. The killer's bullet had already missed.
, he just rushed forward to catch the bullet with his arm.
Having said so much, it only takes two or three seconds.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Just as Zhou Hexuan was lying down, three bombs exploded one after another.
Sun Yongzhen was the first to react. He was standing behind the podium. The moment Zhou Hexuan was shot, he moved. He ran over and lay on Zhou Hexuan, using his body to protect Mr. Zhou.
"ah!"
The whole square became chaotic, with screams and cries everywhere. Two bombs exploded in the crowd, and one bomb exploded on the edge of the podium, scaring the London citizens who came to listen to the speech to panic and run away.
The street policemen hired by Zhou Hexuan to maintain order were obviously frightened and stunned for several seconds before they could react. Some policemen lay on the ground in panic and raised their guns in defense, while some quickly looked towards the place where the gunshots were fired.
"Well!"
Sun Yongzhen, who was lying on Zhou Hexuan, suddenly groaned. He was also shot. The last bullet from Yamashita Kinnosuke hit his butt.
Yamashita Kinnosuke's mind went blank, and he was still pulling the trigger after all the bullets were fired. His companion Ozawa yelled: "Run quickly, he has been shot!"
"Ah? Yes, run!" Yamashita Kinnosuke also came to his senses and rushed towards the crowd frantically.
A street cop yelled: "Over there, the shooters are over there! They're out of bullets!"
When they heard that the assassin was out of bullets, the other police officers immediately became heroic and started chasing him desperately. As long as they caught one of them, they would achieve great success.
But the scene was too chaotic. After the three Japanese students got into the crowd, they disappeared within minutes. The police on the street looked dumbfounded at the panicked and fleeing crowd.
"Mr. Zhou!"
"Go and save Mr. Zhou!"
Ma Jue and her classmates struggled to swim against the current, supporting each other and finally rushed to the podium.
At this time, both Zhang Leyi and Yu Peichen were frightened and rushed to Zhou Hexuan's side to check the injury. Zhang Leyi covered the wound on Zhou Hexuan's abdomen and shed tears: "Brother Xuan, brother Xuan, wuwuwuwu, don't scare me!"
"
"Still... not dead yet, hurry up, take me to the hospital!" Zhou Hexuan said reluctantly.
Sun Yongzhen was shot in the butt because he was protecting Zhou Hexuan. He limped to his feet and shouted to the policemen: "Come here, protect Mr. Zhou and go to the hospital!"
It's a pity that Sun Yongzhen spoke in Chinese, and the police couldn't understand him at all.
Ma Jue, who rushed to the podium, quickly shouted in English: "Police, come here quickly, protect Mr. Zhou from going to the hospital!"
The policemen, who had no hope of catching the assassin, immediately realized that protecting Zhou Hexuan was also a meritorious service, so they quickly ran back and carried Zhou Hexuan towards the bulletproof car.
Just when the car was about to start, I suddenly heard a woman shouting from the running crowd: "Caught, I caught one. Mr. Police, I caught a gunman!"
"Baga! Let me go, you white-skinned dolphins!"
Yamashita Kinnosuke shouted in Japanese in anxiety. He was also unlucky. He accidentally tripped and fell while escaping. He forgot to throw away the pistol and held an empty gun in his hand. He was immediately recognized as the assassin.
.
There was a fat middle-aged woman next to him who was stunned, then sat down directly, and sat down Yamashita Kinnosuke who was about to get up. She even sat on him and shouted excitedly: "I caught it, I caught one. Mr. Policeman
, I caught a gunman!"
When the surrounding citizens who were fleeing heard the cry, most of them fled faster, and a few rushed over to help, firmly pressing Yamashita Kinnosuke to the ground.
