The information room of the General Staff was quickly emptied by soldiers, and there was not much. Considering that the trucks were enough, the Deputy Chief of Staff Guo Bi also wanted to evacuate the combat regulations, the army organization database, the arsenal of the three armies, and the personnel database. However, Xu Jingxi believed that moving the original materials was enough. According to the plan, the entire army should have made a thorough innovation this year, especially the divisions in the pass, but due to the fact that the cabinet was not organized immediately. When the last truck closed the door and drove away from the General Staff, Xu Jingxi was saying goodbye to everyone. The staff members were fine, and many of the low-ranking female clerks, typists, and servicemen were crying.

"... In other words, there is only one principle in this world: that is, only by fighting can one live. Think about the foreigners today, how did their prosperity come from? Is it from thrift and thrift? Is it more capable than the yellow race? Is it falls from the sky? It's not all, it's all stolen! Unfortunately, some people just can't see through this principle and think that those foreigners love peace and civilization.

If this is the case, Italy would not have embezzled Albania last year; those colonies..., India, Annan, Myanmar, and African states, these places should have been independent for a long time. But there were still uprisings and suppressing them once and they had to become a farmland for foreigners. Looking at the current world, there are 1 billion people like colonies feeding foreigners held by 400 million civilizations in the West; looking at the current world, there are only us, Japan, North Korea, and the Soviet Union who support themselves. Why do we want to form an alliance with Japan? Isn’t we just don’t want to use the people’s wealth and ointment to worship foreigners like the Qing Dynasty.

We live our own, but foreigners just don't let it go. A big country with a population of 600 million has stronger national strength and more money. They are worried that one day, the world will be ruined by us, and their fields will become our fields. Their world will become ours, so that the East Asian Alliance will be broken up and negotiated naval decisions. What foreigners themselves do not believe in, and we believe each other. They think they put down their guns. Foreigners will also put down their guns, which is a dream! All intelligence shows that within two years, the war will begin when the Americans' new planes are put into service at the latest.

Some of you joined the army during the revolution, some of you were assigned here after the founding of the country, and the latest one was just assigned to graduate from the military academy last year. Here, Xu Jingxi, I, as the chief of staff, would like to remind you as my personal identity: Don’t forget that we are the people who are protecting this country, no matter how difficult or more obstacles it is, we will find ways to do in the past two years."

After saying a short sentence, Xu Jingxi finished saluting the people in the auditorium and left without waiting for everyone to return the gift. At this time, the fire in the database behind had already started to burn, and smoke was everywhere, but no one went to put out the fire.

When he left the military alert area at the door, Xu Jingxi took a fully protected military vehicle under the protection of the soldiers of the Mobu Camp and drove through the Jishui Pond along the temporarily raised iron bridge. However, after crossing the bridge, he asked the driver to park his car in Beijing for 26 years. He wanted to take a look at this place that had been staying for twenty-six years.

The smoke in the back room of the General Staff was getting bigger and bigger. Even the students who were excited about seeing Xu Jingxi leave were a little panicked when they saw this. They thought the fire was set up by their own people. At the beginning of the North Street Street in Xinjiekou, a silver Chevrolet sedan that had just driven into the city with the soldiers' permission suddenly braked and stopped suddenly. A young man wearing a flannel suit and a top hat got off the car and pointed at the General Staff with a fire in the smoke in the left front and laughed gloating, "Ha! Haha..., this is on fire..."

"Miss Two..." The driver stopped at the order of a young man. He didn't want to stop just to watch the fire. He immediately opened the door and went up to dissuade him. "Miss Two, the master is afraid that he is waiting for the Second Miss to go back at home, so he can't delay here..."

"Don't scare me with the master!" The second lady, who was like a successful man, glared at the driver. She glared at her eyes and turned around but saw two soldiers standing in front of Huitong Temple, one of whom was a general wearing a general's uniform. The golden certificate was very dazzling, but because it was more than two hundred meters away, she couldn't see the person's appearance clearly.

"This is Xu Jingxi who ordered the massacre of students?" She made her own guess. After lifting the pug that followed her out of the car, she pulled out the Browning pistol she carried with her and pointed at the general in vain.

The second lady started playing with guns since she was thirteen years old. She usually took out guns and scared people. She even heard that she had fired a gun. When the driver saw her pulling the gun, he would buzz and explode. He pointed the gun at the general of the General Staff. That was great. He rushed over and tried to stop the second lady. He didn't want to step on the pug in a hurry. The pug would bite people if he was anxious. His hand hit the second lady's arm as he staggered. So with a "boom" sound, the gun actually rang!

As if in sync with the gunshots, Xu Jingxi, who was about to get on the bus, suddenly felt his chest numb, and his body swayed twice and was about to fall down. The adjutant who was getting off the bus with him also heard the gunshots. He quickly supported Xu Jingxi and shouted to save people.

Everything was in chaos. The adjutant pressed Xu Jingxi's bloody chest while shouting for help. Song Desheng, who ran over, looked at the students on the Jishuitan again when he saw this, and his eyes were full of cracks and shouting to arrest people. When everyone in the General Staff heard the news and led the doctor to come, Xu Jingxi's military uniform had been stained with blood. Seeing such a tragedy, Guo Bi held back his tears and held his hand tightly. He didn't know what he was talking about, and he was already numb.

Guo Bi was muttering, but Xu Jingxi, who was frowning on the stretcher, struggled to reach into the inner pocket of his military uniform, and a piece of blood-stained white paper was stuffed into Guo Bi's hand. Seeing that he wanted to speak, Guo Bi, who was leaning over, could only hear him whisper: "...American's... Life Gate..."

"Xingchu! Xingchu..." Even though it was extremely noisy beside him, Guo Bi still felt that Xu Jingxi left at the moment after he finished speaking. He shouted without reason, and his hands shook Xu Jingxi's body violently, but there was no response. He only waited until the doctor quietly told him that the general was dead that he could barely calm down, but he still held Xu Jingxi's hand tightly and refused to let it go.

On the fourth day of June 26, the Chief of Staff General Xu Jingxi, who had just resigned, was assassinated by someone to the side of Jishuitan Huitong Temple in the capital. This news rolled towards the capital like wind and then blew across the country. Weng Wenhao, who had been happy for a morning, was finally a little scared at this time. He called Hu Shi over quickly, but it was Guo Bingwen and Zhu Jiahua.

"We are definitely not doing it." Guo Bingwen is considered an old man from the Brotherhood, and he can ensure that the assassination was not arranged by himself.

"Really. Do you promise not the student fired the gun?" Weng Wenhao didn't believe it. He knew that once the student was motivated, it would become uncontrollable. For example, going to burn the Imperial Daily in the morning is a proof.

"Of course it's true." Guo Bingwen was a little dissatisfied with Weng Wenhao's attitude, but the matter was serious after all. He explained: "At least we don't have such a plan. But it's not difficult to buy a gun now. Many students have money at home. How can students guarantee that?"

"What should I do now?" Weng Wenhao knew that what he was talking about was the fact. Most of the students were just temporarily inciting them. Because of the incident of the guards shooting yesterday, no one knew what the students were thinking about today. What if they wanted to take revenge?

"Prime Minister, this kind of assassination case can be handled according to the law. Don't worry, the key is to rescue those students." Zhu Jiahua said. "Besides, we died six students yesterday, and only one of them died today..."

"Don't worry!" The person who spoke was Xu Xinliu who had just arrived. Seeing that Zhu Jiahua was so irrelevant, he immediately scolded him. "Xu Jingxi is the chief of staff. Today, the Academy of Scholars has just voted to withdraw from the East Asian Alliance. What should we do if we have a mutiny together? We are walking a tightrope on the cliff now, and if we are not careful, we will be doomed."

After expressing his opinion, Xu Xinliu said: "Prime Minister, this matter needs to be handled. You should go to the General Staff to pay tribute immediately. The reactions of those generals are very important at this time. If you don't appease it, you will definitely cause chaos."

"Mr. Stu Leiden, the Inspectorate, and the Tingwei Mansion must immediately find someone to stand up and express their opinions, and jointly create a public opinion that can be resolved by law..." Wu Jingchao also came back from the shock just now and began to come up with ideas.

"But what should those students do?" Guo Bingwen mentioned the students angrily when he saw that they were discussing Xu Jingxi's affairs.

"Hongsheng, when is it now? You still talk about students. Maybe the Northeast Army outside the pass is gathering and preparing to go south." Jiang Tingfu, who had just run into Wenhua Hall, saw that Guo Bingwen was still mentioning those students with ignorance. He was so hard-working that he described the worst situation in a lengthened tone. This is what everyone feared the most.

"Prime Minister, Beihai is right, and he should create a situation immediately. So that the matter is legally resolved, and then he should visit and condolence immediately and appease the generals. Then there are representatives from the Scripture Academy. How many people can be? The more people, the better. Let them go to the General Staff too." Jiang Tingfu immediately said a few methods, all of which were the best choices. "There are also students. Since the previous goals have been achieved, these students should be allowed to go home immediately and not make trouble. If there is another reason, they may have something big to do."

"Yes, Prime Minister, this is something to be done soon." Wu Jingchao glanced at Jiang Tingfu gratefully. What he said was indeed very important.

"Okay, okay." Weng Wenhao finally found his backbone. "I will go to Jishuitan immediately. Mr. Situ Leiden will hand over to Shouzhang, and the Jiyi Academy and the Tingwei Mansion will be arranged by Beihai, students, students..." Weng Wenhao looked at Guo Bingwen this time, "The students' affairs will be handed over to Hongsheng. It is better for students who are not in the capital of the school to go back early."

Weng Wenhao said it easily. When he came, Guo Bingwen, who was angry that everyone ignored the students, said angrily: "How can students leave just by saying that? Now, thousands of students have been detained by the army in the name of a suspect by the army. Several students who were afraid of running away were even shot and injured by soldiers. This... this is simply a warlord! It is a waste of human life!!" After he said that, he waved his hand, "It is okay to ask students to go back, but you have to let all the students you detained first, at least most of them are released. How can those students who don't do this?!"

"Then let the students in the capital go back to school first!" Weng Wenhao also knew that Guo Bingwen was telling the truth, but the problem was that the students would be detained. If the group of people outside the pass were angry, it would be a disaster. "Tell them that the students were detained, the government will find a way to properly solve the problem of the detained students and let them not go to the streets for the time being."

"I can't do it." Guo Bingwen shook his head violently. He knew before he came that the excited students in the morning were all angry when they learned that the students in Jishuitan were caught and beaten. This is the reason why Hu Shi did not come. Now, not to mention that the students were going back, those in the school may not be able to stop them from going to Jishuitan to protest.

"You must do it even if you can't do it!" Weng Wenhao also began to get angry. "You have to find a way to deal with the things you mess with."

"What do we do?" Guo Bingwen became extremely dissatisfied when he saw Weng Wenhao criticizing him like this. "Can the proposal be passed without these students? Will Xu Jingxi take the initiative to resign? Now that the matter is done, we are complaining about it."

"But what happened to me?" Weng Wenhao was angry and felt a little aggrieved, "You said the marches would be very civilized, but what was the result? They rushed into the military alert area and caused the guards to shoot! There is also the incident of the Scripture Academy. Didn't it just shout slogans and demonstrate? The clothes of the representatives were torn by the students. They were not allowed to go in and vote. I really..."

Weng Wenhao became more and more angry as he spoke. He felt that he had been completely kidnapped by these people. Thinking of him, he suddenly grabbed the official hat on his head and threw it away. He sat back on the chair and said, "I don't care about this matter. You can just do whatever you like. At worst, you can turn the cabinet down."

Weng Wenhao was anxious before, but now it was his turn to give up. Jiang Tingfu and others were about to persuade him, but Wu Jingchao, who understood his temper, turned a wink and said, "Go and invite him to come quickly."

"What should I do with the students in Jishuitan?" The question was Zhu Jiahua. Hearing that the soldiers in Jishuitan detained the students, he wanted to send hundreds of patrol officers to rescue people, but he was afraid that he would not be able to make any sense, so he came to Wenhua Palace to ask for an idea.

"Since you are suspected of assassination, then let me detain you first. After you find out the suspicion, you will naturally release him." Wu Jingchao glanced at Guo Bingwen and insisted. "You can ask the patrol police to find a way to negotiate with the army to see if you can take the case over."

"I understand." Zhu Jiahua agreed, and took two steps to turn around and say something, but in the end he left in a hurry.

The fireworks of the General Staff have been put out, and the surrounding area of ​​Jishui Pond have been taken over by the army. The students who heard Xu Jingxi were stabbed and shouted retribution had long been squatting on the ground. As the saying goes, more than a thousand military police officers may not be able to control these students, but when several students who wanted to run were shot and knocked down by soldiers, the remaining students were no longer as arrogant as before, and were all sitting on the ground timidly.

The first person to come to the General Staff was Wang Jitong. When he received the news, he was reading a Buddhist scripture in the mansion. He came in a hurry when he heard the news. The second person to arrive was Gong Baoquan of the Inspectorate. The students had a big fuss these two days. In the morning, the students actually dared to stop the representatives of the Inspectorate from entering the hospital to vote. In the afternoon, he was shocked to hear that General Xu Jingxi, the Minister of the General Staff, was assassinated. He was afraid that something big would happen again and he arrived immediately.

"Have you caught the murderer?" Gong Baoquan, who had just come in, couldn't help but ask.

"Everyone is outside!" Wang Ji and the others didn't say anything, but Chen Honglie from the Navy Office squeezed out a sentence from his teeth.

Yes, they were all outside. After the gunshots, most of the residents of this neighborhood were martyrs and military families who had moved to Beijing earlier. A group of people quickly blocked the entire area. Ten minutes later, the entire capital was also blocked, which was the power of the reserve service back then.

Feeling that his question was inappropriate, Gong Baoquan was silent immediately. After about an hour, Zhang Shizhao from Dali Temple came inexplicably. However, he was not as tactful as Gong Baoquan. After looking at Xu Jingxi's face, he spoke: "Everyone, the deceased has passed away. It is not a solution for those students outside to hold on like this. It is more appropriate to hand it over to the patrol hall..."

"Get out!" Lieutenant General Huang Zongbing stared at him fiercely, and there were also a group of staff members who glared at him.

"You..." Unexpectedly, the other party spoke ill of malice as soon as he opened his mouth. Zhang Shizhao seemed to have been punched, and his face turned red. He was indeed entrusted by the Kuomintang to come here to be a lobbyist. He thought it would be easy to solve, but he didn't want to take it but got nailed. "Mr. Xiao Xu, why can't this matter be so stiff? China is a country ruled by law..."

"I think it's just a *******!" The person who spoke was Lieutenant General Fan An of the military police. "Why should I leave the military case to the patrol officer? The patrol officers you mentioned were actually in the same group. I didn't even come to the police yesterday. Today I simply couldn't even call the police. I was arrested after killing someone, so I started singing about how to rule the country by law! Do you really think we are fools?!"

"This..." Zhang Shizhao also knew that the students had made too much trouble in the past two days, but he still thought of turning big things into small things and small things into small things: "The students' affairs must also be handled according to law. Besides, the army arrests people and examines people. How do the people believe this result? "

"We don't care whether others believe it or not!" Guo Bi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. "We just need to believe it ourselves."

"How can this work?" Zhang Shizhao looked at Guo Bi in great surprise, and then looked at Wang Jitong. He knew that Yang Rui had always advocated rule of law and did not want his students to be stimulated by this today, and he did not care about law and justice.

"Why can't this work?!" Huang Zongbing, who was still rude when he opened his mouth, "At worst, you can be a Manren. Manren killed people back then, but today there are still loyal people."

"Mr. Xiao Xu..." I couldn't continue to persuade him. Zhang Shizhao had to look at Wang Jitong.

"If you do it strictly, don't worry about this matter. This is a military case. It should be investigated by the military police and tried by the military court." Wang Ji Tongdao, "If any student is prosecuted, they can hire a lawyer."

"This..." Wang Jitong was telling the truth, but Zhang Shizhao knew that the Xu Jingxi case involved a struggle between the two parties. If it was handed over to the army, it would not be legal or not. If they deliberately made a move to seek the Kuomintang cabinet, the Kuomintang would definitely be dissatisfied. How could the two sides have a quarrel?

"To win the trust of the people, let the inspector's office participate. The scammer should also send several representatives to participate." Gong Baoquan, who was on the other hand, said. "This way, not only will all parties have an explanation, but the public opinion also believes in the result."

Gong Baoquan's suggestion is not bad, but Wang Jitong had not agreed to it. The students shouted out from outside. After learning that thousands of students in Jishuitan were arrested, all the students in the city rushed over. They didn't care about the laws or laws. They only knew that the army was persecuting progressive young people. As for the dead Xu Jingxi, it was his retribution for killing students yesterday.

At the intersection of Deshengmen Street and Sanbulao Hutong, Wang Shizheng's reconnaissance company was stationed here and Li Guangqiao in the east. The students held up banners and shouted slogans and came from the southeast in a fierce manner, but he was too lazy to take a look. The soldiers on one side warned on the radio: "This is a military control area, it is not accessible! This is a military control area, it is not accessible!"

There have been too many radio broadcasts in the past two days. With the above instructions, the students were not afraid of anything. When they heard the warning, they not only did not stop but walked faster. Seeing that these people were so stubborn, Wang Shizheng ordered the commander of the chariot who had exposed his head from the turret on one side and said, "Check a shot on the street thirty meters ahead!"

"Yes!" The car leader agreed. Then the turret turned and hanged low. With a "boom", a three-kilogram 57mm high-explosion bomb hit the street more than 30 meters ahead. It exploded violently and splashed countless broken bricks and sand, hitting the houses and tiles on the street, as if a hail was as follows.

Yesterday, they only fired the guns, but now they fired the guns. The passionate team was in chaos. Seeing that they had not run away, Wang Shizheng ordered: "Get farther away. Fire two guns!"

If you don't take advantage of the situation to defeat the morale of the students, you might be encouraged to come. Although the commander did not understand the company commander's intention, he was still firing two guns in a row as he ordered. The first gun was dozens of meters away from him, and everyone was shocked. Some people even encouraged that they dare not kill people. Now the guns are getting closer and closer, and the last shell seems to explode beside you. The parade finally collapsed completely. The students fled back one by one. A few minutes later, there were only three small craters left on the street and the banners and slogans that the students threw when they escaped, with white papers of democracy and freedom as if they were furious.

"A bunch of idiots!" Wang Shizheng immediately felt relieved when he saw the students who had fled on the street. He was relieved, but everyone who heard the sound of cannons was uneasy. Recently, Zhang Shizhao, a peacemaker sitting in the General Staff, jumped up and shouted: "How can you fire the students? They are just students!"

Zhang Shizhao's shouting even ignored Wang Jitong; Jiyiyuan, Yangxinzhai, and Wenhua Palace also heard the sound of cannons. The most panicked thing was Wenhua Palace. Weng Wenhao, who had just given up his pick, put on his official hat after hearing the sound. He asked Wu Jingchao in disgrace: "Who... who is firing the cannon? It's started fighting, is it started fighting? Where is the Imperial Guard?"

"The Imperial Guard is in the city!" Wu Jingchao was also uneasy. He was worried that the Revival Association would take over the capital by force. If that were the case, everything would be over. After that, he shook his head again, "It was definitely not the cannon fired by the Imperial Guard, it must be the armored regiment."

"What should I do now? Are they going to call me?" It was confirmed that it was the Revival Society who fired the fire. Weng Wenhao jumped up from his position, took a few steps and turned back.
Chapter completed!
