Chapter 1629 1631【Assassination】
Facing Yamaguchi Xiangzi’s seduction, Xiang Nan turned a blind eye and his expression did not change at all.
"There''s no need to pretend, Miss Yamaguchi Koko. Or, I should call you Li Shulan." Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "I know your purpose of coming to Hujiang, but it''s useless.
Since you are familiar with China, there is an idiom in China that you should know, which is called greedy and insufficient, the snake swallows the elephant. With Japan''s national strength, you are overestimating your capabilities by trying to annex China. The final result is to burst yourself. "
"Oh? I don''t agree with your point of view." Seeing that Xiang Nan revealed her identity, Yamaguchi Xiangzi no longer concealed her identity, and argued with Xiang Nan in order to buy more time for herself, "People from Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal The area is not as big as ours, but their colonies are spread all over the world. If they can do it, why can’t we?”
“Because they have a first-mover advantage. In the fifteenth century, countries such as Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal had already opened up new shipping routes and expanded their colonies.
??And your country, Japan, only started its external expansion after the Meiji Restoration in the 19th century, which was four hundred years too late. So if you want to invade and expand, you lack four hundred years of capital accumulation, so you can only raise capital by squeezing your own people.
?I heard that in order to earn military expenses, you Japanese did not hesitate to send your own girls abroad to sell rice. And the taxes borne by farmers and businessmen in your country are also extremely high, even higher than those in China.
So, you must expand externally and plunder capital. Otherwise, the people in your own country will not be able to bear it anymore. To expand, it would harm the interests of those established sovereign states.
As a result, you will have many enemies. In addition to your own people and the aborigines of the colonies, you will also face resistance from the mother country.
Especially China, with a population of 40 million and a territory of more than 10 million square kilometers. Do you think those old imperialists are willing to give up this piece of fat to you?
?And if you are strong in military force and bent on expansion, will you be willing to share it with them? So in the end, you will be the enemy of the whole world and completely defeated. Xiang Nan nodded.
"Mr. Xu is really wise." Yamaguchi Xiangzi nodded, "Well, why don''t I open a bottle of wine and let''s talk slowly."
"No need, I''m not here today to chat with you. I just want you to know before you die that everything you have done will be in vain in the end." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
"Mr. Xu, are you really willing to kill me?" When Yamaguchi Xiangzi heard this, he smiled slightly, then raised his hands, the towel wrapped around him fell, and a voluptuous body appeared in front of Xiang Nan.
?However, Xiang Nan was not attracted by this. Instead, he quickly ejected a big ball and hit Yamaguchi Xiangzi''s wrist. She was so painful that the pistol fell to the ground.
It turns out that Yamaguchi Kouko has always been cautious, even taking a bath with her gun. Originally, she wanted to divert Xiang Nan''s attention in this way. As long as Xiang Nan is stunned, she will have the opportunity to shoot, thus reversing the situation.
??But she didn''t expect that the body she was so proud of would not be attractive to Xiang Nan at all, which made her a little unbelievable and even doubted whether Xiang Nan was a man after all.
"Ms. Yamaguchi, you are indeed beautiful, but unfortunately, you are not my type." Xiang Nan smiled and then clapped her hand.
Originally, he was three meters away from Yamaguchi Kouko, but after the palm was released, the distance between them quickly shrank to less than half a meter.
Shanguchi Xiangzi was not surprised but overjoyed when he saw Xiang Nan actually using force. She has received rigorous fighting training and is proficient in karate, judo, aikido and other martial arts. In terms of skill alone, she is not weaker than any martial arts master.
?So when she saw Xiang Nan attacking her, she immediately blocked it.
??But even though her blocking moves were extremely sophisticated and airtight, for some reason, Xiang Nan still slapped her on the head.
But no sound was made, but Yamaguchi Xiangzi''s eyes suddenly froze. After a moment, two streams of blood came out of her nostrils.
Xiang Nan then took her body out and hung it on the Waibaidu Bridge, which is the same bridge where Yiping jumped into the sea in "Love is Deep and Rainy". It is the most famous building on the Bund, with countless people coming and going every day. After hanging the corpse, Xiang Nan still left eight characters "Yamaguchi Xiangzi died here" where the body was hung.
?Subsequently, he searched the Japanese invasion of Hujiang plan drawn up by the Tianlong Society from Yamaguchi Xiangzi''s room and secretly threw it into the office building of "Declaration".
After finishing all this, Xiang Nan went back to sleep.
…
The whole Hujiang River was in a sensation.
??Major newspapers reported the news that the famous Japanese spy Yamaguchi Koko''s body was found hanging in the street. The "Declaration" also published the full page of the Tianlong Society''s plan to annex Hujiang.
?Seeing this plan, not only the whole country was in an uproar, but also France, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries were very dissatisfied. Because they also have interests in Hujiang, and now Japan actually wants to monopolize it, they will naturally protest.
The Chinese people naturally disagree even more. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, setting off a wave of protests across the country.
?Seeing this, the Japanese people can only try their best to quibble. He also said that the annexation plan was a forgery, that Yamaguchi Kōko was not a spy, that someone had framed and slandered him, and so on.
?But their lies could neither deceive themselves nor others, and they paid a certain price in the end.
…
As for Feng Jingyao, it was even worse.
??He originally wanted to get elected as Director Hua of the Ministry of Labor with the support of Japanese people.
The so-called Ministry of Industry Bureau is an administrative agency set up in the concessions in China by the great powers, also known as the Municipal Committee. There are nine directors on the board of directors, including three Chinese directors.
?Although directors are not paid, they have great power. Once you become one, you will have countless fame and fortune. Therefore, Feng Jingyao was determined to win.
But he didn’t expect that Yamaguchi Xiangzi, who he relied on the most, would be killed. Even the Japanese forces, under the pressure of other countries, have restrained themselves and no longer dare to blatantly support him.
?As a result, it would be difficult for him to be elected as Director Hua of the concession. This couldn''t help but make him depressed and furious, and ordered his men to investigate the cause of Yamaguchi Xiangzi''s death.
It’s just that finding out about this matter is extremely difficult.
After all, Xiang Nan is always very careful in his work and does not leave many loopholes, so it is extremely difficult to find him.
?After the death of Yamaguchi Xiangzi, Feng Jingyao had a severe headache and had no intention of entertaining guests anymore. Naturally, he did not need to find Xiang Nan to accompany him anymore, so Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
A week later, he and Feng Chengcheng boarded a cruise ship to France.
In fact, Feng Jingyao originally wanted them to go by plane. There were already international routes at that time. However, Xiang Nan knows that today''s airplanes are still very unsafe, and air crashes happen easily. In comparison, taking a boat is slower, but at least it is safe.
