Since the Wang brothers were absorbed by the Japanese espionage agency, during this period of time, their brothers have been receiving training in the espionage ability of the Japanese, because the brothers are young and have a grudge against overseas Chinese, which has the value of focusing on cultivation in nature. Moreover, their brother is a local squire, is very familiar with Shandong's social situation, human geography, and has a certain amount of cultural knowledge, it can be said that these conditions are very important for a spy officer, so the Japanese side also intends to train their brother to become the backbone of Shandong's intelligence.

And since bearing the family feud, the Wang brothers also saw the hope of revenge for the first time, so they also worked very hard to learn all kinds of knowledge, of course, Japanese. However, the characteristics of the two brothers are different, Wang Kexing has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has the experience of fighting and killing people, so the Japanese side intends to train him in the aspect of assassination; while Wang Kefu has a higher level of culture, can speak well, and the direction of training is in the aspect of espionage and intelligence collection, and the Japanese side even has a plan, and when the conditions are suitable, they can try to push Wang Kefu into Shandong or the officialdom of the Qing court to develop.

After more than half a year of study, the brothers' knowledge, learning, ability, and insight have made great progress, and with the tempering of these two years, the two have become more and more mature, and they are no longer countrymen who have not seen the world at the beginning.

Of course, the Wang brothers also know that although their purpose is to use the power of the Japanese to avenge their whole family, in essence, they are helping the Japanese to deal with China, to put it bluntly, they are traitors, and it cannot be said that this has no impact on the Wang brothers, but first, the Chinese in this era are still very weak in their concept of the country and the nation, whether it is the two Opium Wars, or the Sino-Japanese War, In the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, there were cases in which a large number of Chinese people helped the soldiers of the aggressor country to do things; second, the feelings of family feud overrode the national righteousness in the hearts of the brothers, because the brothers both knew that it would be impossible to take revenge without their own help, so the two of them calculated that after avenging the whole family, they would wash their hands and stop helping the Japanese.

During this period, Japan's spy agencies in Shandong have been developing very carefully, because the East China government's control and supervision of society are quite strict, far from being comparable to those of the Qing court. At present, Japan's intelligence agencies in Shandong have been completely separated from commercial agencies, and they have begun to develop on their own, and have set up bases in major cities in Shandong. At present, however, Japan's intelligence work mainly collects various intelligence materials through open channels and analyzes them in order to judge the direction of the East China Government.

Although the control power of the East China government is far stronger than that of the Qing court, the transmission of information and openness are also far stronger than that of the Qing court, and the government's major decisions, activities, or major social events will be published through newspapers at the first time, which is also the characteristic of modern society, and has also brought a certain convenience to intelligence work, that is, a large amount of information can be collected from open channels. Of course, the current Japanese intelligence agencies can only go so far. However, data is not the same as intelligence, and various data needs to be analyzed to become accurate information.

In fact, it is not that Japan does not want to have further development, but the tricks used to deal with the Qing court in the past have hardly worked on the East China government. For example, two months ago, Japan planned to send a batch of guns and weapons to the Shandong intelligence agency in the name of goods, so that they could be used when needed. However, the cargo ship is subject to inspection at customs.

If it is in Chunting, of course, it is easy to do, spend a lot of money up and down, you can go through the customs all the way, and the inspection or anything is just a formality. In the customs of the East China government, this trick not only did not work, but also attracted the vigilance of the customs officers, because as the saying goes: nothing to do is courteous, either treachery or theft. As a result, the inspection was more strict and careful, and the results showed that more than 300 guns of various kinds, more than 10,000 rounds of bullets, and more than 200 kilograms.

Naturally, all of these weapons and ammunition were confiscated, and the cargo ship carrying the cargo was seized by the East China Government, all the personnel on the cargo ship were taken into custody and interrogated, and the Japanese trading houses that connected the goods were also seized. At the same time, the East China government also lodged a stern protest against the Japanese government. In the face of the facts, the Japanese government can only apologize to the East China government, put the blame on the individual, and promise that similar things will not happen again. In the end, cargo ships and trading houses were confiscated by the East China government, and a total of 27 Japanese were sentenced to prison by the East China government.

After this incident, the Japanese side also gave up its plan to send weapons to the Shandong intelligence agency in large quantities, and changed to a plan of breaking up the whole into pieces and accumulating small amounts, transporting only a very small amount at a time, no more than 10 guns, no more than 100 bullets, and dismantling the guns into accessories and assembling them when they arrived. After all, the detection methods of this era are limited, so it is indeed difficult to find out a small number of sporadic accessories, so it is slowly accumulated, and now the Japanese Shandong intelligence agency has also accumulated more than 30 pistols, more than 20 rifles, and more than 1,000 bullets. It's enough to avoid being strong. However, the East China government prohibits civilian ownership of guns, so although guns are available, training has become another problem.

And the Wang brothers want to avenge the whole family, so while learning all kinds of knowledge, they are also asking around for opportunities. And just a few days ago, the two of them learned by chance that a bandit force asked for food and supplies from Beiya Village in the southwest of Jinan City, the Wang family was originally a bandit, and in the early years of the two, there was a career as a bandit, Wang Kexing, and participated in several battles of soldiers and bandits, so the two vaguely felt that there was something wrong here, so they used the resources of the Japanese intelligence agency to inquire, and they also made it clear that this bandit belonged to the forces of the Taishan Lin family.

Of course, the two of them knew the status of the Taishan Lin family in the green forests of Shandong, and they also knew that overseas Chinese would never compromise with bandits, and Jinan was mobilizing troops, so there would definitely be a fierce battle between the two sides. Although from the hearts of the two, of course, they support the Lin family, but they also understand that the Lin family is definitely not the opponent of overseas Chinese, so they also want to give the Lin family some support, and Wang Kefu thinks further, thinking that he can use the power of bandits to deal with overseas Chinese. The Lin family is very influential in the Shandong Green Forest, so it is completely possible for the Japanese intelligence agencies to secretly provide funds, weapons support, intelligence, and operational guidance, and the Lin family will come forward to integrate the Shandong Green Forest to deal with overseas Chinese.

The top level of Japan's Shandong intelligence agency also immediately made a serious assessment of the proposal of the two, believing that the Shandong Green Forest forces were too scattered and that it would be difficult to carry out effective integration without enough time, and that even if the Shandong Green Forest Forces were integrated, it would be impossible to subvert the rule of the East China government, so the Japanese intelligence agencies should not invest too much in it, so as not to be implicated and exposed.

However, after all, the Green Forest Forces are an armed force with considerable roots among the people, and if all of them oppose the East China Government and even become enemies of the East China Government, then it can also cause a lot of trouble to the rule of the East China Government, and even consume the administrative resources of the overseas Chinese, thus delaying the development of the overseas Chinese, and such a result is of course also beneficial to Japan.

However, it is not advisable to support the Shandong Lvlin forces too much, let alone expose Japan's Shandong intelligence agencies, because the Shandong Lvlin forces are basically certain to fail, so it is not appropriate to invest too much, so that even if Shandong Lvlin fails, there will be no loss to Japan, and the Japanese government can completely get out of the matter and will not be implicated.

In the end, the top level of Japan's Shandong intelligence agency made several decisions: First, the Wang brothers should come forward to contact the Shandong Green Forest forces and cooperate with the Shandong Green Forest forces in the name of revenge, but they must not expose the Japanese Shandong intelligence agencies; second, the funds provided to the Shandong Green Forest forces were 50,000 taels of silver, all of which were handled by the Wang brothers; third, they could provide intelligence and information support to the Shandong Green Forest forces, but they would not provide weapons, but they could help the Shandong Green Forest forces purchase weapons through other channels through Japanese relations; and fourth, they should adjust their action plans according to the actions of the Shandong Green Forest forces。

In other words, Japan's Shandong intelligence agency only intended to provide limited support to the Shandong Green Forest forces at the beginning, but if the actions of the Shandong Green Forest forces could have a greater impact on the East China government, then they could increase their support for the Shandong Green Forest forces.

As for the action of the Shandong Green Forest forces against the East China Government, Japan's Shandong intelligence agency believes that it is useless to confront them head-on, and it is necessary to give full play to the fact that the Shandong Green Forest forces are familiar with the terrain and environment and have a deep foundation, so it is not appropriate for Shandong Green Forest to carry out large-scale operations, but should be broken into parts, with 30-50 people as a team of actions, and the target should not be the city government, but the civilian villages, which are in areas where the People's Army control is weak, and try to be as ruthless as possible, kill as many people as possible, try their best to create an atmosphere of terror, and point the spearhead directly at overseas Chinese, that is, create a kind of attack for the people of Shandong"It is the overseas Chinese who force the bandits to be like this", which can not only cause instability in Shandong, but also hit the prestige of overseas Chinese in Shandong, and it is best to make the people of Shandong resentful of overseas Chinese.

According to the investigation conducted by Japan's Shandong intelligence agency during this period, due to the implementation of land reform, the broad masses of the people have benefited from it, and the pro-people, honest, and efficient administrative style of overseas Chinese has enabled overseas Chinese to establish a fairly high prestige among the people in Shandong, and it can be said that the credibility of the East China government in Shandong is much higher than that of the Qing court, and what is lacking is only the deposition of time; after all, the Qing court has ruled for more than 250 years, and the disappearance of influence cannot be completed overnight, but if it takes another one or two years, it will be really difficult to say. Therefore, Japan should do its best to delay this development trend, and it is best to plunge Shandong into a long-term civil strife, which is the most beneficial situation for Japan.

Although Lin Shenwang is a shrewd person, he basically knows nothing about this kind of grand strategy at the government level, and Wang Kefu's suggestions are indeed very useful and realistic in his opinion. But whether he can persuade other green forest forces to fight against overseas Chinese can only depend on Wang Kefu, but through the conversation just now, he still has some confidence in Wang Kefu. So Lin Shenwang said: "Okay, Brother Wang will rest in our cottage for a few days first, and then let our father and son discuss and discuss." ”

Wang Kefu also nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

So Lin Shenwang immediately asked Lin Weizheng to arrange for Wang Kefu to rest, and asked him to entertain Wang Kefu well.
