Chapter 397: Act Quickly (Part 1).
1o87819o8 Far East Madman Chapter 397 Action Quickly
The Embassy District of Shijiaomin Lane is located in the southeast corner of the inner city of Beijing. It is sandwiched between Zhengyangmen and Mao. The boundary to the south is close to the inner city wall. The boundary to the north of the wall is East Chang'an Street. The East Chang'an Street is the imperial city. The east defense line of the Embassy District is not far from Chongwenmen Street, and the defense line to the west is the Imperial Street that extends south from the Meridian Gate. The total area of the Embassy of Dongjiaomin Lane is about the same as the Forbidden City. The Embassy of the Eleven Kingdoms in China is in this area.
According to the strength of each country's national strength and the size of its sphere of influence in China, the area and planning of the embassies of the eleven countries in China are also very different.
Because the UK has the strongest national strength and the largest sphere of influence in China, the British Embassy not only covers the largest area but also has the best location right in the northwest corner of the embassy area where you can see the Forbidden City. The neighbor of the British Embassy is the Tsarist Russian Embassy in China, located to the south of the British Embassy.
As an ally that Britain has always won over, the Japanese Embassy in China is located on the east side of the British Embassy. To the north is next to East Chang'an Street, just one street away from the British Embassy. The neighbors of the Japanese Embassy are France, Italy, and Spain's embassy in China are France, Italy, and Spain's embassy in China because of its insignificant power in China. The Spanish Embassy occupies the smallest area in order to show the huge difference from Spain's national strength. In this area, the French Embassy also occupies a piece of land across the street to the east, making its total area comparable to that of the Russian Embassy.
As a hostile country in France, the German embassy in China is next to the French embassy and also crosses several streets. It basically occupies the southeastern corner of the entire Dongjiaominxiang embassy area. The embassy in China, the ally of Germany, is located in the northeastern corner of the embassy area. It is only a street from the Italian embassy in the north and is also a distance from the German embassy. Although it seems that the current alliance relationship between the three countries is a bit unsuitable, the embassies of the three countries have indeed surrounded the French embassy from three sides.
As for the neutral country, the Netherlands, like Spain, was only divided into a pitiful little territory. Moreover, if a train enters the station in the southwest corner very close to Daqianmen Railway Station, the Dutch diplomat will hear the most clearly and the US diplomats.
What is most surprising is that the U.S. Embassy District in China was cut into the left, middle and right three pieces, covering an area of almost scattered and fragmented, which is consistent with the current international status of the United States. Although its industrial strength is very strong, it is indeed not as powerful as Germany.
There is only one main road in the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane. That is, the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane is named for this. Several secondary streets extend from Dongjiaomin Lane to all directions, which makes the transportation of the entire embassy area very convenient, and there will always be a strong exotic hotel at the intersection. The famous restaurant, the Six Kingdoms Hotel, is at one of the intersections.
Since the signing of the Xin Chou Treaty, Dongjiaomin Lane has become a country in the middle of the country. China's sovereignty is completely ignored. Embassies of various countries not only formulate legal provisions to manage this area, but also organize the guards of embassies from various countries to be fully responsible for the warning within the region. Usually, the access management of embassy areas is also controlled by various countries.
Perhaps it was because of the learning that the East Jiaominxiang Embassy District rarely allowed Chinese people to enter and exit freely, even delegations of various parties to the North-South peace negotiations entered the Six Kingdoms Hotel to hold meetings.
However, some Chinese people can still enter and exit Dongjiaomin Lane with relatively free access to Dongjiaomin Lane. Most of the people who work here are now. A group of Chinese people drove a four-wheeled carriage from Zhengyangmen to enter Dongjiaomin Lane from the western intersection and were inspected by American soldiers at the intersection.
Judging from the passports of several people in the car, these people should be tragic servants of the Six Kingdoms Hotel, and this seems to be a cargo cart list that shows that it carries barley for brewing beer. It is obviously provided to the Six Kingdoms Hotel, but because the car is covered with canvas, it cannot see clearly the goods on the car out of caution. The American soldier lifted the canvas and poked the barley in the canvas with a bayonet on the gun. Then he waved his hand and let it go.
Several Chinese servants hurriedly covered the canvas and then got on the carriage. The coachman shouted and drove the carriage and continued to move eastward.
After driving east for a short while, the carriage arrived at an intersection in the southeast of the German Embassy. To the northeast is the Spanish Embassy and then north is the Japanese Embassy. On this street in Dongjiaomin Lane, you can see the back door of the Japanese Embassy. In the northwest of the intersection, the Russian Embassy and the British Embassy are in the order from south to north.
Although the Chinese servants on the carriage turned their heads and carefully observed the situation at the intersection of this kilogram. However, the carriage did not stop but continued to move forward slowly until another intersection. They stopped near the Liuguo Hotel. Several people who had been waiting in front of the hotel approached the carriage and met the driver who was rushing into the hotel.
The carriageman took off the straw hat on his head and placed it on the pile of barley behind him, so Tian Jinfu's angular face shone with oil under the sun.
There were both hot and cold sweats on her face when she was inspected by the American soldiers just now, Tian Jinfu's cold sweats still involuntarily seeped out.
It's so dangerous, fortunately the machine gun at the bottom of the car was dismantled and placed flat. Otherwise, the American soldiers would take off the gun body when they stabbed the bayonets. If this operation was halfway through.
That is not an ordinary machine gun. It is the Hatchais machine gun that Tian Jinfu specifically moved from the General Command before leaving Zhengzhou. It is also the only machine gun in the General Command. It is the Hatchais machine gun that Zhao Bei seized from the Japanese Nishize Gongxiong in the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant!
Why don’t you adjust other machine guns but only use this Hatchkas machine gun? The reason is also very simple because when Tian Jinfu was the commander-in-chief, he often fiddled with this machine gun and was very familiar with the performance of this machine gun and was more familiar with its operation and shooting.
This machine gun is also the only heavy firepower brought to Beijing and Tianjin by Tian Jinfu, the remaining ones are bombs and pistols, and there are several submachine guns. At present, only this machine gun is suitable for this mission.
As for the passports used by several people who sneaked into the embassy area, they were all the passports that Gong Qingxiu had prepared long ago. The content was fake. There was no photo. In order to ensure that the action was foolproof, Tian Jinfu took a sealed telegram to Deng Chuan's commander-in-chief before rushing to Beijing. The commander-in-chief's actions were also very heavy. Then Xiao Du "famous German embassy staff" not only posted photos of them, but also really stamped with steel seals. Of course, the steel seals of the British Embassy must be fake. It must be admitted that the Germans have many small actions against the British. This is just a mere fur trick.
Of course, the Germans are also very cautious, in addition to assisting in forging these documents, the Germans obviously do not want to intervene in the United Front's conspiracy too much. Now Tian Jinfu and the others can only rely on themselves.
"Yihai, we have to find a place to pretend to be a guy, are you familiar with this place?" Tian Jinfu jumped out of the carriage and asked Gong Yihai who was sitting on the barley pile.
Gong Yihai shook his head but took out a piece of paper from his pocket and drew a map on it. It was the floor plan of the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane.
"Laotian was painted by Tieqiao the day before yesterday. We can see if we can find a hidden place to pretend to be a guy. On the one hand, we have to find a place to look at it. Otherwise, if those bannermen come from where they come from, we don't know where the intersections of Dongjiaomin Lane are everywhere. If their bannermen enter the embassy, we can't do it."
"Yihai, you make sense. I think this Six Kingdoms Hotel is pretty good. Standing up and holding a telescope should be able to look down at the entire embassy area. You choose two people to go up and look up one to look at the other to cover the telescope. In addition, this is also a matter of how to contact you. It is better to follow the rules of the Qing Gang and use the direction. Let's mark the numbers on this map. The rules of the martial arts world can also come in handy."
Tian Jinfu and Gong Yihai discussed a few words and then divided their work. Tian Jinfu drove the carriage to the nearby area to observe the terrain. Gong Yihai took another person to a secluded place to change clothes first. They dressed up as compradors of foreign companies and then walked into the Six Kingdoms Hotel with a briefcase filled with telescopes.
Tian Jinfu drove the carriage for a few lanes, found a secluded alley, drove the car into it, and then stopped the carriage and unloaded it. A few people squatted beside the carriage and repaired the wheels. They stood alone at the entrance of the alley. Then Tian Jinfu led his men to quickly dig out the Hatchkas machine gun from the pile of barley, assembled the gun body and the gun rack on the pile of barley for a while, and carried out mechanical maintenance for a while. The twenty-plate bullet supply boards were carefully wiped and loaded with bullets, and then wrapped them in an oil cloth roll and buried them back in the barley pile together with the machine gun that was also wrapped in an oil cloth.
When Tian Jinfu.com installed the wheels and heard gunshots coming from the west.
"Don't be stunned. Those flag-men have already taken action. Let's hurry up and drive the car back to the Six Kingdoms Hotel. Now the gunfire sounds. The embassy area is not sure what happened. We must be more cautious. Now, check our weapons and don't conflict with life until we have to.
Several people quickly drove the carriage out of the Little Bodhisattva. On the way to the Six Kingdoms Hotel, they saw many soldiers lined up in front of the embassy. They drove towards the outside of the embassy and were sweating in their hands. As long as any soldier stopped the carriage and checked the goods on the carriage, the operation was half failed and it is difficult to guess what kind of treatment they would suffer.
It is necessary to be cautious in this industry. It is also indispensable. This is the most essential thing for people on the carriage. These people performed well. Even though they were nervous, their expressions were calm. Or in other words, the expressions on their faces were numb. Most Chinese people in this era have this expression, especially in front of foreigners. They look like they are not concerned about their own affairs, so the carriage went very smoothly along the way. They did not encounter any trouble.
When he arrived at the Six Kingdoms Hotel, Tian Jinfu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt relieved. But he didn't dare to park the carriage in front of the hotel, but drove the carriage to the back of the hotel, and found a parking place near the garden. Several people sat under the carriage, which seemed to be enjoying the cool air, but his eyes were alert to look around in all directions.
However, Tian Jinfu stood on the side of the carriage and pretended to tidy up the reins, but his eyes were always on the roof of the hotel. Gong Yihai on the roof also poked his head out from time to time and looked downstairs.
The gunshots outside the embassy area are getting more and more frequent. There are more and more people on the roof of the Six Kingdoms Hotel. Whether Chinese or foreigners want to see what happened in the capital. Tian Jinfu was worried that Gong Yihai would expose his target and had to take the risk of going up the building. But when he arrived at the roof, he saw almost all the people standing on the roof holding a telescope looking at the monocular telescope in Gong Yihai's hand. Tian Jinfu was relieved and hurriedly went downstairs and continued to stand beside the carriage waiting for the signal.
But when he waited, he just couldn't see Gong Yihai's gesture, Tian Jin was anxious and he was a little worried about Gong Qingxiu's side. If the action on the other side was not going well, then this "Autumn Harvest Action" would probably end in a hurry and would not kill two birds with one stone as he planned.
However, when a subordinate brought a phone message to Tian Jinfu from the Six Kingdoms Hotel, Tian Jinfu was not worried about Gong Qingxiu's actions, but then he began to worry about the actions here. After all, this was a very risky action. If there was a slight mistake, all his efforts would be wasted.
The anxious mood made Tian Jinfu sweat all over. But he didn't dare to wipe the sweaty eyes, and his eyes were blurred by the sun because he kept staring at the roof. So much so that when Gong Yihai made a gesture, he couldn't see clearly what the gesture was.
Fortunately, Gong Yihai kept making gestures and Tian Jinfu saw clearly.
"Northeast direction! Tianzi intersection".
Tian Jinfu hurriedly took out the hand-drawn picture and quickly found the intersection marked with the word "Sky".
It was a intersection between the Italian Embassy and the Austro-Hungarian Embassy.
The target must have approached the intersection, otherwise Gong Yihai would not have pointed in such detail.
