At that time, the Huanggutun incident was raging. Although everyone knows that the Japanese did it, there is no evidence. In addition, the Japanese also forged the illusion that the Southern Revolutionary Party admitted the murder on the spot, which diverted attention and made this matter an unsolved case in history. It was not until Japan surrendered that the whole story of the Huanggutun incident was learned from the mouth of the former senior staff of the Kwantung Army, such as Daisaku Kawamoto. It is said that this matter was carefully planned by Kawamoto.
He Ben, who has just arrived in Kanto, is very obsessed with Zhang, just like fans see their idols now, but his enthusiasm for Zhang is trying his best to kill him. In Kawamoto's eyes, Japan's pursuit of Manchu-Mongolian independence has not been successful for more than ten years, and the biggest obstacle is the fierce Kanto. He thought that as long as Zhang was killed and a new puppet regime was established, the Manchu problem could be completely solved. So, he carefully planned the explosion and found three China people to pretend to be scapegoats of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Hepburn's plan succeeded, and Zhang finally died in an accident. But the aftermath of his death is still there. He has always been the bane of the Japanese. Although he died at the hands of the Japanese, it brought a lot of trouble to the Japanese. Especially after the change of ownership in Northeast China, the Japanese were very depressed. The three northeastern provinces were not independent, but they also sent the northeast camp into Chiang Kai-shek's camp. At this time, Japanese politicians were very angry, and they wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, and those who planned this matter had to take the blame.
At that time, the river was just a small masterpiece, and there was not so much power to do it. The background behind it was the commander of the Kwantung Army at that time. Although he has been saying recently that the consequences of killing Zhang will be borne by him alone, many things can't be borne by the dog if he wants to. In the end, Japanese Prime Minister Tanaka, who had always supported Zhang, was forced to resign after a year.
As the mastermind of the assassination, Kawamoto's political career came to an end. At that time, other members who joined the juvenile gang with him later became the commanders of the Japanese army. Only Kawamoto became more and more fierce, first being removed from his post and turned into a reserve team, and then being transferred to sue for economic construction. In the end, he didn't even have to do economic construction and stayed at home. After Japan surrendered, he was put in prison and died in Taiyuan War Criminals Management Office.
Joe Taro, commander of the Kwantung Army who supported Kawamoto, also came to no good end. According to past practice, all commanders of the Kwantung Army can become generals in Rong Sheng, and only he was a lieutenant general before his death, and he was also transferred to the reserve. This may be the price of killing Zhang!
