Chapter 99 Complexity
This is a simple desert airport night. The stars in the sky seem to be within reach. You can clearly see every clear light of the Milky Way. The crescent moon in the night sky hangs in the blue and black sky. Only when Africa is in the desert can we see such a starry sky. Darkness, like warm and moist velvet. It was wrapped in a group of scattered soldiers.
The clouds almost pressed on the tops of the palm trees. The soldiers who were just at rest were immersed in their dreams at this time. For these soldiers, this night seemed to be no different from any night. Suddenly, the roar of the engine woke up some soldiers. When the soldiers were woken up from the dream, they would always shout and scold outside the tent. However, they were already used to it and turned over. Despite the harsh noise outside the tent, they still fell asleep.
At the end of the airport runway, a transport plane made a coughing sound, turned left and right, and groped towards the huts paved with palm leaves. The indicator lights on the side of the runway led it to land quietly, and those lights only turned on for the last 15 seconds for the last landing.
A combat reconnaissance aircraft of the Guards Army Air Force roared through the night sky and flew towards You. This plane must have been piloted by an old pilot; in the past year, those ace pilots who flew thousands of hours, maybe even more than three or four thousand hours in service five or six years ago.
For China, the reason why his army air force is strong is not that he has a variety of high-speed fighters with extremely advanced surnames and even all-metal structures, but because he has an excellent team of pilots with more than 5,000 people. After the battle broke out, he faced the land that is not worth mentioning. With its air power, the Army Air Force Command has formulated a "war-based training" training method, sending a large number of young pilots with flight hours of less than hundreds of hours to the Arab region. At the same time, a large number of excellent pilots were transferred back to China to fly new aircraft.
However, these young pilots have a common shortcoming. Because of their flight experience, they are even afraid of flying at night. The plane is above the clouds and invisible from the ground, just like the pilot on board can't see the ground runway. It is searching for flashing landing lights, but the lights go out, and this situation is likely to lead to a crash. For the Army Air Force, more than two-thirds of the more than 400 aircraft lost in the past year were lost in the night flight. The loss of the aircraft is not a pity. It is really Unfortunately, those pilots, all of whom are elites of the army. They are young and have received higher education. In fact, the proportion of soldiers with college education or above in the army aviation team even exceeds the navy known as "aristocracy".
The pilot on the sliding transport plane could not hear the roar of the fighter over his head. He turned on the light to see where he was gliding. At this time, a listless voice in the dark shouted:
" Turn off the light!"
When the pilot determined his position, he turned off the lights. The fighter over his head was a few kilometers away from it. There was a rumble of cannons in the south. The battle on the front line never ended. Although the front line was in a stalemate, the shelling never stopped.
Perhaps, for China, they are not clear about the development of the war situation and are worried about the deadlock on the front line, but for those soldiers on the front line who hide under sandbags several meters thick and nest in field fortifications made of "gong" steel and steel plates, this war is It's turning into an exercise.
Even during the Spring Festival, the soldiers on the front line used cannons and machine guns to celebrate the New Year. Of course, the price was that the Turkish army took the initiative to retreat 500 meters, but because they did not receive orders, they also did not want to increase casualties in the New Year. The expeditionary force headquarters did not even order the troops to attack, giving them only one order. .
"Hon to the position!"
In any war, there are always some strange things happening, and this is one of them.
On the apron, a transport bomber has landed there, and the pilot of the transport plane parked the plane 20 yards away from it, turned off the engine, climbed out of the cabin, and walked to the cement floor of the apron. An officer ran to him, and they talked softly.
The driver did not wear a military cap, so he did not salute, but nodded slightly.
"I'm Captain Fan Kechen, sent to the military post with fate."
The pilot spoke in Mandarin with a southeast accent.
"It's dangerous to fly in such a night, Captain Fan,"
The major officer who picked him up said coldly, "Especially this large plane, six transport planes crashed at night last month."
His voice is low and slow, and his tone is very standard. It is a typical Jianghuai-style Mandarin. In fact, Mandarin is the pronunciation based on Jianghuai Mandarin. Although the Ministry of Education has continuously promoted Mandarin in China over the past many years, even in schools, especially in schools in Guangdong and other places, Few people still can speak a good standard Mandarin. The officer's extremely standard Jianghuai Mandarin shows that he is likely to live in Yanjing when he was very young.
"You know, sir, soldiers on the front line, hope to receive letters and gifts from their families before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. So, I started flying yesterday and flew all day.
Fan Kechen obviously has his own reasons. The family letter is worth ten thousand gold, which is an eternal truth for the front line, and the Imperial Staff is also well aware of the thoughts of the soldiers and their families. In this regard, he specially signed an order to transport military mail by aircraft. Of course, this military mail is limited in weight, within 100 grams. Although it seems harsh, it can Ensure that every soldier can receive and send at least ten letters a month.
"Hmm..."
Major looked at Fan Kechen, nodded, and then asked softly, "Even so, you can't take any more risks next time. Try to fly during the day. If your plane crashes, I don't know how many people can't receive letters from their families."
When the major spoke, there was a trace of concern in his words. Of course, he cared about the safety of the pilot, but he was more concerned about his airport.
"Yes, sir"
Fan Kechen immediately replied, but the officer's words always made him feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the darkness covered his embarrassment. For him, the reason why he chose to fly at night was not only to deliver letters, but more importantly, to train his skills.
I have always thought that as a pilot of the Army Air Force, Fan Kechen has a dream to start his own airmail company, which can send letters anywhere in China in 24 hours, in 48 hours. It is delivered to the recipient. Of course, although this is just an idea, now he needs to train hard for his dream, and night flight is naturally inevitable.
"You are from Nanjing. How is it now?"
After a long silence, Fan Kechen could feel that the officer was staring at him through the darkness. When the people next to him occasionally raised cigarettes, he saw the expectation of the other party at a glance. Everyone in a foreign country was homesick. Of course, as officers, they rarely showed their true feelings.
"At least Nanjing doesn't seem to have changed. Oh, by the way, yesterday, Yuan Xiang's state funeral was very grand. Your Majesty personally helped him?"
When talking about your majesty's help for Yuan Shikai, Fan Kechen muttered "for his clothes". Yes, it was clothes. In such an explosion, it was impossible to find his body in that explosion. However, in the eyes of Fan Kechen and everyone else, His Majesty has no honor to help his spirit. After all, only the old prime minister has been treated like this since the founding of the empire, and Yuan Shikai enjoys such honor behind him, which may have exceeded many more than expected.
This is especially true in the eyes of some people who think that Yuan Shikai has lost His Majesty's trust.
"I've heard of this. It was mentioned on the radio. Yuan Xiang is also half a military person!"
The major muttered that he gave the captain a cigarette. After the other party refused, he lighted another cigarette by himself, and then asked the question.
" By the way, how about the Wuchang wharf bombing? Did you catch the murderer?
"I don't know,"
Van Kechen shook his head and said.
"Now, they all say they are republican radicals, but before they are announced, no one knows who they are."
It's a long silence again. The bearded head nodded to him, perhaps to show understanding or confusion. Finally, the major smoked a cigarette and trampled the cigarette butt into the sand. Finally, he sighed.
"It doesn't matter who did it. Anyway, as long as it is found out, this matter must not be as simple as a trial!"
Simple!
A lot of things have never been as simple as people think. For Chen Mo, who was in the Qinzheng Building and looked at the Guangfu Avenue outside the window through the thick bulletproof glass, he realized for the first time that a very simple event could be quickly complicated, and it was so complicated that it was difficult to choose.
After 12 days of investigation, the Imperial Bureau of Investigation finally came up with a "closure report", and the Supreme Prosecutor also recognized the "closure report".
As expected, it was the republican radicals who planned all that. Except for the murderer's death in the explosion, all the people involved were arrested. Two people fled immediately after the incident, and even the navy sent warships until they were arrested and returned to the Pacific Ocean.
Originally, when the incident has developed to this point, then everything should be over. The murderer died in the explosion, the participants were arrested and brought to justice, and the evidence is conclusive. It can be transferred to the bill for trial at any time, but the problem occurs here, which is the last detail that complicates this simple case. Come on.
I said I am!
The blasting expert who helps terrorists make bombs is me. He not only helps them make bombs, teaches them how to use them, and even helps them plan how to carry out bombings. It can be said that I am undoubtedly one of the murderers and one of the main conspirators of the whole terrorist attack. .
But here's the problem. The person named Tanaka Okaichi is just one of the main conspiracy. After the terrorist attack, the republican organizations were destroyed by the investigation bureau and local police stations. Under the hard-line means of the "Wartime National Security Law", although there is no conclusive evidence, a large number of republican faction Radicals and even ordinary republicans are still sent to prison, and through their trials and investigations into their organizations, the Bureau of Investigation accidentally found something that they were ashamed of - the Embassy in China had provided a large amount of financial support to those republican organizations.
A total of millions of yuan of subsidies were issued from the Japanese Embassy in China and scattered to nearly 100 republican organizations across the country. Is my purpose only to "fund Chinese political forces to protect Japan's interests"? Obviously not, their purpose is to disturb China's political situation, and there is evidence that they are more willing to deal with radical groups. Even through the introduction of the embassy in China, some radicals of radical groups, holding Japanese passports, enter the Japanese military camp, receive special military training, or The embassy sent some Japanese [***] elements to China to provide relevant special technical training for radical terrorists.
Tanaka Okaichi, who was involved in the "Wuchang Wharf Xiaonian Terrorist Incident", was contacted by the embassy in Japan and finally entered China with a "business passport". In his testimony, he also proved this. Even after he arrived in China, he went to the embassy to receive 300 yuan.
All the evidence points to the Japanese version! Point to the Japanese embassy. There is no doubt that terrorism supports the country!
"Your Majesty, we hope to search the Japanese Embassy in China immediately!"
There is a trace of earnestness in Cha Zhiqing's words. Now, he has successfully pulled the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Intelligence Bureau and the military into this incident. In this incident, it is not only the Investigation Bureau that needs to be responsible. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs to be responsible, because they have no errors in the intelligence analysis of the ambassador to China, while the Intelligence Bureau, to " A large number of [***] groups exist in Japan have the responsibility of failure. As for the military, they also need to be responsible for this, because some terrorists are trained in Japan, and they are in the Japanese army. Through the information held by the investigation bureau, Cha Zhiqing can even identify that some terrorists have accepted "[** *] The training of "consultants", because some terrorists are trained under a pseudonym in the wing of military advisers.
In short, after finally collecting all the evidence and information, Cha Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief. Now, this matter is no longer an incident of the Bureau of Investigation, but... Well, it involves the whole country!
Search the embassy?
Chen Moran shook his head in his heart. If he really did that, I'm afraid the whole world would laugh at China. The embassy could not be searched. Even if it was impossible for China to search its embassy and make any hard-line remarks, at most, it was only through official channels to protest.
Thinking of Japan's ugly performance in this incident, Chen Moran frowned. At the beginning, when the evidence pointed to Japan's ambassador to China to support the terrorist activities of Chinese radicals, the first thing he thought of was to cover up all this. He could not affect the whole for a trivial matter. The big plan of the country.
At that time, these things could still be concealed. Those cases could be tried in private, and the news and public opinion would not pay too much attention to it. However, the "Xiao Nian terrorist attack" was different. He attracted the attention of all over China and even the whole world. It can be said that once the news and public opinion was obtained, he was involved in it. In China, and with the assignment of Japan's ambassador to China, the whole China will fall into a new boiling. At that time, everyone will have only one idea left to demand the political axe to punish the Japanese, and the so-called punishment is a fierce lesson.
But... Thinking of everything he worked hard in Russia, Chen Moran frowned. That arrangement was for the benefit of China in the next hundreds of years, and for... However, now this incident may disrupt his arrangement at any time.
Any political axe needs to consider public opinion. Even if it is a talent-reading political axe, even a talent-reading political axe needs to consider public opinion. At least he needs to use public opinion. If the truth is leaked, the political axe will still "stubborn" not make any statement, then public opinion will eventually overthrow everything, and all the dissatisfaction of the people will even It is possible to turn to the political axe, but this is what Chen Moran has to consider at this time.
"Is it possible to close the door?"
Listening to Your Majesty's question, Zhang Feng shook his head.
"Your Majesty, the possibility of the closed-door trial may be extremely unrealistic, not to mention that the public is so concerned now, which makes it impossible for the court to hear the case behind closed doors. If the closed-door trial, it will be real, which will eventually lead some people to lead to the dirty water to the political axe, the truth!"
Looking at His Majesty, Guan Mingtang was the first to stand up and express his opposition.
"What the people need is the truth! Any attempt to cover up the truth may be misunderstood!"
All of them may be misunderstood. Guan Mingtang's reminder made Chen Moran have to seriously consider it, because there have been some voices of doubt, questioning the perspective of the political axe in this incident, why the investigation bureau failed to grasp the intelligence before this, and why the purchase of a large number of explosives, failed to cause the police to reconcile. The suspicion of the investigation, and so on, have put the political axe on the forefront of the storm. If it is heard behind closed doors again... In the past, people often said that rumors stopped at the wise, but Chen Moran was very clear that the rumors stopped at the truth!
"If it is heard in public, Tanaka's identity is still Japanese, and we have to consider it. Not only that, we even need to consider what kind of attitude we should use to deal with Japanese, and..."
After a moment of silence, Chen Moran smiled bitterly.
"Now it's our ally, and we still point out to them to work for us!"
