The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Yamashita Kinnosuke resolutely drew his gun and aimed at the man on the high platform. He had long been brainwashed by Japan's militaristic education.

International students in Japan are divided into two types: government-funded and self-funded.

In the early years of the Meiji period, the Japanese government sent a large number of overseas students to study in Europe and the United States. It turned out that these students were all children of high-ranking officials and nobles, wasting the country's precious study abroad expenses. Emperor Meiji was furious and ordered all overseas students to return home for testing. Those who failed to pass the test would have their status as students abroad revoked.

Even so, all Japanese students studying abroad during the Meiji Restoration era still came from wealthy families.

However, during the Taisho period, with the popularization of compulsory education, more and more common people appeared among Japanese students studying abroad.

Yamashita Kinnosuke's father was a traditional craftsman. When he was 13 years old, the government tightened its control over the education field. Japanese textbooks began to gradually become militarized, and all content that was unfavorable to the Japanese government and the emperor was deleted.

After nine years of militaristic education and brainwashing, Yamashita Kinnosuke is now filled with thoughts of loyalty to the emperor. What's more, he is a government-sponsored international student and can receive a subsidy of 2,500 yen per year, which is equivalent to twice the annual salary of an ordinary lecturer at Tokyo Imperial University, and can maintain the minimum living expenses of ordinary citizens in Tokyo for 24 years.

In Yamashita Kinnosuke's view, since the country used such a huge amount of money for him to study abroad, he must serve the motherland and the emperor.

Killing Zhou Hexuan is the greatest act of loyalty to the emperor!

It's a pity that the people around him are cowards. Yamashita Kinnosuke secretly contacted each other for more than half a month, but only found two like-minded people. Especially those rich and aristocratic children, they don't even have the guts to kill people, they are just a bunch of cowards!

Not only that, but some people were actually bewitched by Zhou Hexuan and began to reflect on the injustice of Japan's invasion of China.

Then, let me solve all this with my own hands!

"One, two...three! Do it!"

As Yamashita Kinnosuke shouted, he and his two partners threw bombs on the podium at the same time.

The bombs were homemade. Yamashita Kinnosuke was studying chemistry. He only made three bombs this time because there was no time for him to drop more bombs.

The moment after dropping the bomb, three Japanese students raised their guns and fired, all aiming at Zhou Hexuan on the stage.

The podium was temporarily built with wooden boards, about 1.5 meters high, 5 meters long and 5 meters wide. Perhaps because of too much nervousness, the two bombs flew directly over the podium and fell into the crowd behind due to excessive force. Only the one thrown by Yamashita Kinnosuke rolled to Zhou Hexuan's feet.

Zhou Hexuan was talking enthusiastically when he caught a glimpse of a black thing rolling towards him from the corner of his eye. He subconsciously raised his foot and kicked it away.

The moment the bomb was kicked away by Zhou Hexuan, gunshots rang out, and Zhou Hexuan was shot three times in the left shoulder, abdomen, and calf. Another bullet flew past his head, knocking off half of his ear, leaving it bloody and sticky.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The gunshots continued to ring out, and the three Japanese students had fallen into a state of madness. They completely forgot to leave a bullet for themselves, and they only knew how to pull the trigger continuously.

Since Emperor Hirohito came to power, Japan has begun to strengthen militarism education. It not only brainwashes students ideologically, but also incorporates military training into educational courses. The three international students had all practiced shooting in school, and their marksmanship was very accurate. The first shots fired by each of them all hit the target.

But they were amateurs after all. The next few shots they fired, bullets flew all over the sky, and they were obviously shaken by the recoil of the pistol and lost their way.

Zhou Hexuan's reaction was very quick. The moment he was shot, he subconsciously jumped to the side and lay down to avoid it. However, the moment he fell to the ground, he was shot again - this time he took the initiative to get in. The killer's bullet had already been shot. It missed, and he rushed forward to catch the bullet with his arm.

Having said so much, it only takes two or three seconds.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just as Zhou Hexuan was lying down, three bombs exploded one after another.

Sun Yongzhen was the first to react. He was standing behind the podium. The moment Zhou Hexuan was shot, he moved. He ran over and lay on Zhou Hexuan, using his body to protect Mr. Zhou.

"ah!"

The whole square became chaotic, with screams and cries everywhere. Two bombs exploded in the crowd, and one bomb exploded on the edge of the podium, scaring the London citizens who came to hear the speech into panic.

The street policemen hired by Zhou Hexuan to maintain order were obviously frightened and stunned for several seconds before they could react. Some policemen lay on the ground in panic and raised their guns in defense, while some quickly looked towards the place where the gunshots were fired.

"Well!"

Sun Yongzhen, who was lying on Zhou Hexuan, suddenly groaned. He was also shot. The last bullet from Yamashita Kinnosuke hit his butt.

Yamashita Kinnosuke's mind went blank, and he was still pulling the trigger after all the bullets were fired. Companion Ozawa yelled: "Run quickly, he has been shot!"

"Ah? Yes, run!" Yamashita Kinnosuke also came to his senses and rushed towards the crowd frantically.

A street cop shouted: "Over there, the shooters are over there! They're out of bullets!"

When they heard that the assassin was out of bullets, the other police officers immediately became heroic and started chasing him desperately. As long as they caught one of them, they would achieve great success.

But the scene was too chaotic. After the three Japanese students got into the crowd, they disappeared within minutes. The police on the street looked dumbfounded at the panic-stricken crowd.

"Mr. Zhou!"

"Go and save Mr. Zhou!"

Ma Jue and her classmates struggled to swim against the current, supporting each other and finally rushed to the podium.

At this time, Zhang Leyi and Yu Peichen were both frightened and rushed to Zhou Hexuan's side to check the injury. Zhang Leyi held the wound on Zhou Hexuan's abdomen and shed tears: "Brother Xuan, brother Xuan, wuwuwuwu, don't scare me!"

"Still... not dead yet, hurry up, take me to the hospital!" Zhou Hexuan said reluctantly.

Sun Yongzhen was shot in the butt because he was protecting Zhou Hexuan. He limped to his feet and shouted to the policemen: "Come here, protect Mr. Zhou and go to the hospital!"

It's a pity that Sun Yongzhen spoke in Chinese, and the police couldn't understand him at all.

Ma Jue, who rushed to the podium, quickly shouted in English: "Police, come here quickly, protect Mr. Zhou from going to the hospital!"

The policemen, who had no hope of catching the assassin, immediately realized that protecting Zhou Hexuan was also a meritorious service. They quickly ran back and carried Zhou Hexuan towards the bulletproof car.

Just when the car was about to start, I suddenly heard a woman shouting from the running crowd: "Caught, I caught one. Mr. Police, I caught a gunman!"

"Baga! Let me go, you white-skinned dolphins!"

Yamashita Kinnosuke was anxious and shouted in Japanese. He was also unlucky and accidentally tripped while escaping. He happened to forget to throw away the pistol, and he held an empty gun in his hand, and was immediately recognized as the assassin.

There was a middle-aged fat woman next to him who was stunned, then sat down directly, and sat down Yamashita Kinnosuke who was about to get up. She even sat on him and shouted excitedly: "I caught it, I caught one. Mr. Policeman , I caught a gunman!"

When the surrounding citizens who were fleeing heard the cry, most of them fled faster, and a few rushed over to help, firmly pressing Yamashita Kinnosuke to the ground.
