Chapter 759: Pinching persimmons

Huijing. Fuqianmen Railway Station.

Since the start of the Sino-Japanese war, train schedules across the country have been disrupted, and ordinary passenger cars and freight cars have to make way for military trains. The railway department must also give priority to ensuring the passage of military trains, and the Daqianmen railway station is no exception, and military representatives have also been stationed in the dispatch room of the railway station, and the vigilance measures have also been strengthened.

Another military train entered the station, taking advantage of the few minutes that the train was refilling the platform with coal water. Several servicemen got out of the guard car, carrying large bags and small bags, and left the railway station through the special passage of the platform. boarded a military truck that had long been parked at the exit of the station, and then drove away from the Daqianmen Railway Station in a puff of smoke and drove directly towards Beicheng.

The truck quickly pulled into the Gyeonggi Garrison Command and stopped in front of a small gray two-story building. The soldiers got out of the car with large bags and small bags and walked into the small building.

The two-story grey building looks unremarkable. But the officers in the Gyeonggi Garrison Command know that this inconspicuous building is actually the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and it is one of the most mysterious departments in the entire Gyeonggi Garrison Command, and even the Gyeonggi Garrison Commander has no right to enter the small building unless the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau nods.

But these dusty soldiers who walked down from the military truck easily walked into the small gray building. He was only checked by the guards at the door, and when he saw the blue special documents, the guards immediately let them go.

Several officers went up to the second floor, and there was already an adjutant waiting at the top of the staircase, after several people had met. Nodding his head and not saying much, the adjutant led a few people into the office of Tian Jinfu, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Tian Jinfu was in Ligong's office, studying some information with several young men dressed in plainclothes, and saw the adjutant leading the officers in, so he beat the young men dressed in civilian clothes and left the office, and then asked the officers to sit down.

The officer in the lead sat down, didn't say much, only said, "We brought the papers," and then opened the briefcase he was carrying with him and took out a stack of papers. It was placed on the desk.

Tian Jinjiao took the document, flipped through it roughly, and then put the document into his male

pack

"It's not enough to just look at the documents, you'd better come with me to the presidential palace, maybe the president has something to ask you.

I also know that you are very tired from coming from the west, and you are flying and taking the train. However, a soldier always has to put national affairs first. ”

"Director, take us there, the lieutenant colonel in the lead is not ambiguous. Stand up. Pack his briefcase.

Tian Jinfu nodded, put his briefcase on, put on his military hat, and then led a few people out of the office, and instructed the adjutant guarding the door to tidy up the office and office for him.

Follow Tian Jinfu to the presidential palace, so you don't have to take a truck. Several cars drove them out of the Gyeonggi Garrison Command and headed straight for the presidential palace.

The Gyeonggi Garrison Command is not very far from the Presidential Palace, but it takes a few minutes to enter the Presidential Palace, and then these cars drive straight to the Commander's Hall. Waiting for the car to stop in the warning area, Tian Jinfu led several officers from afar to get out of the car, because when entering the presidential palace, the attendant room had already received a telephone report, so he had already sent an adjutant to wait in the warning area, and when he saw Tian Jinfu leading a few people over, he stepped forward to salute. Then he led a few people straight to the president's office.

When Tian Jinfu and the others walked to the second floor where the president's office was located, they happened to meet Qin Sihu, the captain of the guard, sending a few old and young men in suits and leather shoes out of the office, so these officers flashed to the side, and watched a few people go over, and those people were also polite, and when they saw the officers, they took off their top hats and greeted them with a smile.

Tian Jinfu recognized several familiar faces, all of whom were liaison representatives of chambers of commerce in Beijing, and it was obvious that the president was meeting with representatives of industry and commerce again, and since the news of the war in Europe came, the president had summoned the liaison representatives of these chambers of commerce in Beijing several times. As for what you want to do. Tian Jinfu can also guess one by one.

When these businessmen passed, Tian Jinfu and others walked into the president's office.

When Tian Jinfu walked into the office. Zhao Bei was studying the map of China's territory that hung on the wall. There are a lot of circles on the head, all of which are Zhao Bei's handwriting, when he is usually idle. He would always do some paperwork on this map, not only in China, but also outside China, and if you look at this map, you can understand that the president's ambitions are not because of this, and usually this map is covered with curtains.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhao Bei turned around and glanced at the briefcase in Tian Jinfu's hand, then swept his gaze, and then looked at the officers who were following Director Tian.

At this time, the adjutant walked over and whispered a few words in Zhao Bei's ear. Then walk to the map. He closed the curtain and exited the office.

"Yiren, quickly take out the document and show it to me, to be honest, I can't wait to see the strategic deployment of the northwest border. As for the few of you, it's hard work. Come to me. There is nothing else to entertain, the tea is enough, and the Western-style pastries made by the president's wife are also enough. ”

Zhao Bei smiled and pointed to the sand. Several officers were motioned to take their seats. Then sit down on the sand first. took the document handed over by Tian Jinfu and set it up

Compare. , Wanbi North One "Pan, humble beginnings carefully flipped through the documents

These documents are all about the strategic deployment of China's northwest border region, and those officers are also members of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and they are mainly responsible for developing intelligence networks in the northwest border areas.

"Alright. Tell me directly about the situation in Central Asia. ”

Zhao Bei closed the document sensibly and decided to ask the officers who came from afar directly.

This introduction is not something that can be explained in a few sentences, and Central Asia is now largely controlled by Russia and Britain, with the Ottoman Empire also intervening. The open and covert fighting between several countries on the ground is very fierce. Coupled with the long-standing tribal and sectarian contradictions and conflicts in the region, the entire Central Asian region is an unlit powder keg, and at this time, the Germans also want to intervene there. Adding chaos to the Entente bloc has further exacerbated instability in Central Asia.

To say "powder keg" is indeed an exaggeration. Compared to the Balkans, Central Asia is already a paradise, there is no way, it is too isolated. Even if there was an internal armed conflict, it was basically carried out in the form of a medieval struggle, whether it was tactics or strategy, and even weapons were far behind the times, so the impact was insignificant, and Russia and Britain could easily settle it.

Central Asia now looks calm. If it had been someone else, he might not have started planning so early, but Zhao Bei decided to take precautions, because he knew very well what the fate of the Russian Empire would be, even if he could not take advantage of this rare opportunity to swallow Central Asia, at least he would have to settle the Russian rule there.

Fortunately, several officers have also carefully studied the situation in Central Asia in the northwestern frontier in recent years, and have even traveled around Central Asia disguised as businessmen. This apparently helped to deepen their sober understanding of the situation in Central Asia, in which, in their opinion, the policy of assimilation of tsarist Russia to the region was not very successful. Due to the influence of history, culture, sects, customs, people's feelings, and other factors, Central Asia is indeed the weakness of the Russian Empire, and it is no wonder that the Germans sent envoys to contact the Central Asian tribes. However, because the tribes are too weak. Even if the Germans were able to give some support. Nor could the military rule of the Russian Empire there be shaken, unless there was civil strife in Tsarist Russia. Otherwise, the Central Asian region will not be so prone to turmoil.

Zhao Bei agreed very much with this analysis, he knew the general trend of history, but he did not know the details, but it was the introduction of these officers that enabled him to understand the current situation in Central Asia, and after thinking about it carefully, he decided to wait and see for the time being. Without joining the conspiracy of the Germans, and now the railway has not extended to the northwestern frontier region, it is impossible to make a big move.

Instructed Qin Sihu to lead the officers down to rest. Zhao Bei left Tian Jinfu behind.

"Yiren, how is Xiong Weigen's stare now? Is he preparing to go abroad? ”

"Our people have gotten in. According to the analysis of the current intelligence, Xiong Chengji really planned to go abroad, and he also followed the president's advice to go to South America to study constitutionalism first, and then go to the United States. ”

"Good. After he went abroad. Every month you report to me on his whereabouts. In addition, you must also keep an eye on those followers of him who remain in the country, and do not let down your guard. ”

, Wanbi

"I understand, I'll personally supervise this matter."

"It seems that everything is going well on the Nanyang side at the moment. However, one thing must be made clear: the British government attaches great importance to the Straits Settlements, and it is impossible to give up it, so you must not deviate from your goal, and you must find a way to spread the riots to the Dutch colonies, especially on the island of Java, where there are many Chinese and overseas Chinese, and you can use this force. The British can not move, but the Dutch are different, which is like pinching persimmons and picking soft ones. ”

"I remember, on the Nanyang side, we are well prepared, as long as the Americans do not interfere, everything will be carried out according to the plan."

"Don't be too optimistic. According to information from the US Legation yesterday, the US Government has decided to assist Britain in stabilizing the order in the Straits Settlements. It may not be long before the U.S. Navy moves several battleships to the Philippines, although it is unlikely that the U.S. Army will enter the British colonies. But if the US Navy is stationed in the South Seas. Then the British Navy would be free to land and operate. Therefore, now your task is to find a way to expand the Nanyang riots, not only to further arm the Korean bridge people, but also to find a way to provoke the resistance and internal strife of the local indigenous people.

Carefully, Ding instructed, and when Tian Jinfu left the office, Zhao Bei pondered for a while on the map of China's territory hanging on the wall. Then I picked up the phone, connected the switchboard, and shook the Ministry of Railways.

At this time, it is indeed necessary to step up the construction of a railway connecting the northwest and southwest regions, and this European war will provide a rare opportunity for China, and Zhao Bei's requirements are not high, as long as he can touch a few small fish and shrimp from the troubled waters of the Far East, he is already very satisfied.
