"Sell newspapers. The British consul was assassinated last night. Come and take a look!"
"Selling newspapers, the British consul and his lover secretary died on the bed together. There are pictures and photos. If you want to see big breasts, come and take a look."
"British Consul Gary was assassinated last night, and the murderer is suspected to be French..."
Early in the morning on June 3rd, just one night after yesterday's incident at the Emperor Hotel in the British Concession, another shocking news shook the entire city of Guangzhou.
British Consul General Gary was assassinated in the middle of the night and died naked on the bed with his lover's secretary. The news spread, and the whole of Guangzhou was shaken again, causing an uproar. Governments in Guangzhou were also alerted immediately. Compared with yesterday's news of the incident at the Emperor Hotel, it was even more
It's shocking because Gary's status is so special. He is the Consul General of the British Government in Guangzhou. His status is there.
As for Professor Jin, no one knows his identity in the scientific society. He is only a British scholar on the surface, so he is far less concerned than Gary.
The British government was immediately furious and ordered the entire city to thoroughly investigate the matter. It also immediately put pressure on the Guangzhou City Hall Government in China to immediately investigate the matter and give an explanation.
The Guangzhou City Hall government is almost furious. Gary died in the British Concession, which is under the management of the British. It can be said that he died in their own home. It has nothing to do with their City Hall. Now if something goes wrong, it will be blamed on them.
, he also looks like he is arrogant and asking for punishment, which makes people want to hit people, but they dare to be angry and dare not speak out, even though they are powerful!
In this world, whether it is a person or a country, once you are weak, it is inevitable to be bullied by others. This is the situation in China now. Almost every major power can stand on top of China and boss them around.
Not only are they robbing you of your money and land, but they also want to bully you. No matter what happens, they will find you first. Who told you to be weak and easy to bully!
Under pressure from the British government, the Guangzhou City Hall also immediately placed the entire city under martial law and cooperated with the British government to investigate the matter. However, after a whole day of investigation, in addition to increasing the conflict between the British government and the French government, it did nothing to solve the case.
There was no progress, because all the clues pointed directly to the French government. At this time, the French government naturally couldn't sit still and immediately came out to deny it.
Faced with the French government's denial, the British government would naturally not believe it easily and threatened to enter the French Concession to search. However, faced with this request, the French government would naturally not agree. If the British were really allowed to come in and search, then the French government would
If you keep your face where you want it, in the eyes of outsiders, wouldn’t it mean that France is afraid of Britain? The UK is no longer as glorious as the sun has never set.
What's more, France did not do this in the first place, and there has been some friction in the relationship between the two countries during this period. Under such circumstances, neither party will naturally compromise.
In the end, the situation directly evolved into a conflict between two parties!
Although Gary's incident triggered conflicts between Britain and France, it is impossible for the two countries to directly fight over this, that is, to criticize each other in the newspapers. In fact, in this era, the various invading powers against China are not in the same group.
Because everyone wants to get the maximum benefit from China, there will naturally be entanglements of interests and conflicts.
However, when it comes to conflicts, the resolution methods of various countries are basically negotiation, or they often criticize each other in newspapers, and the possibility of a real fight is very small.
In the living room, Lin Tianqi was sitting on the sofa, also holding a newly published newspaper. Looking at the cannons between the British and French sides, he couldn't help but smile lightly.
"At present, it seems that everything is developing very smoothly and in the direction we expected. Both the British and those outside are now placing their first suspicion on the French, and the French are so determined.
The non-cooperative and non-compromising attitude has helped us a lot. I’m afraid this matter will end like this and no one will think it’s us.”
Seeing the smile on Lin Tianqi's face as he put down the newspaper, Fang Ming also said, with a smile on his face.
Of course, Gary's death was not done by the French, but by them. It was just that in order to trace the blame on himself afterwards, he found some obscure clues to put the blame on the French.
"Well, this is a good job. Let the British and French be suspicious of each other. Send people to pay attention appropriately. If they don't find us, just leave it alone."
Lin Tianqi nodded immediately after hearing this, feeling quite satisfied. The longer he followed, the more Lin Tianqi discovered that Fang Ming was a rare talent, especially when it came to doing things, he could do very well no matter what he did.
Good, consider everything comprehensively, act meticulously, and basically everything can be done to perfection.
"The next thing we need to prepare is three things, the north, arms and the scientific society."
"The matter of the Science Society can be put aside for the time being. As long as we don't take the initiative to send them back the news, they won't have news in a short time, and they won't come to us. I will decide this matter after the matter in the north is resolved.
, Therefore, the top priority is arms and northern affairs, and these two things should be prepared at the same time."
"We can't stop searching for news about arms. You can give your orders and leave it to the people below."
"Well, sir, don't worry, I have already explained this matter. Whether it is the United Kingdom, France, Japan or other countries, I have arranged for the following people to investigate. In addition, I have also sent people to try to investigate some international arms dealers.
Contact us, I believe there will be news soon."
Fang Ming nodded.
"Well, you can handle this. Just tell me when you have any news."
"Next, the most important thing is the matter in the north. Today is the third day. The Beiyang government is gone. If nothing else happens, I am afraid that in the next few days, the Northern Expeditionary Army will be able to reach Beijing. That Marshal Zhang
If nothing else happens, he should return to his three eastern provinces, maybe even right now!"
Lin Tianqi said, in fact, he knew that Marshal Zhang would return to the three eastern provinces tonight and be killed by the Japanese bombing tomorrow, but naturally Lin Tianqi could not tell this.
"The Beiyang government was defeated and the Nationalist government took over Peiping. Based on Wumen's performance during the war, the Nationalist government will definitely carry out a clear attack on Wumen. In any case, we are all members of Wumen. If there is trouble in the sect, I will also
We can't just sit back and ignore it. You can go down and talk to Aqiang, Debiao, and Shouyi later and get ready. We are going to go north. If nothing else, it should be in the next few days."
Fang Ming nodded immediately after hearing the words, and a glimmer of light flashed through his eyes. Although Lin Tianqi had never made it clear what he would do in Peiping, he knew that Lin Tianqi's trip north this time at the critical moment of Wumen would never be purely true.
It was as simple as wanting to make the most of Wumen's crisis, and he didn't want Lin Tianqi's purpose to be just that simple!
His expression flickered, Fang Ming looked at Lin Tianqi and hesitated.
"Fang Ming has always had a question in his mind. I don't know whether I should ask sir."
When Lin Tianqi heard this, he also looked at Fang Ming and asked.
"what is the problem?"
Fang Ming hesitated slightly again, and then said.
"I wonder if Mr. Xiang really just wants to save Wumen from danger this time, or does he have other ideas?"
After saying that, Fang Ming looked at Lin Tianqi, feeling a little uneasy because what he said as a subordinate was a bit out of line. Although Lin Tianqi had never been angry or even harsh with his subordinates, he never doubted it.
The majesty of Lin Tianqi.
Lin Tianqi couldn't help but raise his brows when he heard this and smiled.
"What do you think I should do this time I go north?"
Lin Tianqi asked instead without answering. Seeing Lin Tianqi's look like this, Fang Ming's original uneasy mood dissipated instantly. Seeing Lin Tianqi's look like this, he knew that his words did not make Lin Tianqi unhappy or anything, so he immediately lost his courage.
A little bigger, he hesitated slightly and smiled.
"My subordinates believe that the leader of the sect, Li Musheng, has led Wumen to surrender to the Beiyang government this time, which has put Wumen in danger of life and death. Such a major wrong decision makes him completely unfit to continue to be the leader of the sect. On the contrary, Mr.
In terms of wisdom and foresight, he is countless times better than the leader of the sect, Li Musheng. My subordinates suggested that this time you go north to compete for the position of sect leader."
"Furthermore, this critical moment of life and death for Wumen is also the best opportunity for you to turn the tide and help the building from falling. As long as you can save Wumen's current situation at the most critical moment, I believe that when the time comes, we will
Everyone at the top and bottom must be deeply grateful to Mr., and the position of sect leader will definitely not be difficult when the time comes."
Fang Ming said, and after speaking, he looked at Lin Tianqi slightly nervously.
Lin Tianqi pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then a smile appeared on his face and he looked at Fang Mingdao.
"You are right, but this time is a good opportunity, which is exactly what I thought."
When Fang Ming said this, Lin Tianqi immediately stopped hiding anything and spoke.
"The position of sect leader belongs to those who are capable. Sect Master Li is indeed not suitable for it."
"You can go down and talk to Aqiang, Debiao, and Shouyi later so that they can prepare themselves in advance. In addition, over in Beiping, you can contact Elder Wu and tell him what I mean.
, after this Wumen crisis, I need the support of Elder Wu as the sect leader."
"Yes! I'll do it right away!"
Fang Ming was instantly shaken when he heard this, and his face showed excitement.
