121 Sino-German Conflict (5)
There are many Taoist priests in Shandong, generally speaking, Taoist priests in Shandong are mainly engaged in funeral ceremonies, drawing talismans to exorcise ghosts, and also have a certain degree of role in the role of You Fanglang. As a port city, Qingdao has a relatively high influence on new science and technology. Rich people go to see Western doctors when they are sick, but they don't look for wild Taoists who don't know their origin for funerals. Although he has been to Qingdao many times in recent years, the trade of stolen springs has still not opened.
Fortunately, the thief himself didn't expect to really make a living from this, he just came to make a fool of himself. If a Taoist intelligence officer like him hadn't been familiar with the local area, as long as the situation became tense, the strangely dressed Taoist priest would definitely be suspected.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Thief Quanzi found a small inn to live in. The inn's business is obviously not very good, at least Thief Springs can still live in a single room. After the man brought in to eat, he retreated, and the thief carefully closed the door, and then took out a cloth bag from the bottom of the bamboo basket. Inside were a couple of pencils and a small stack of paper. According to the recollections, all the gun emplacements of the Qingdao Fortress that I saw were recorded.
In the intelligence system of the People's Party, Taoist priests are also a very important component. Don't do any special work, just record what you see. After writing the information, the thief ate the food. After a while, the man came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and took away the things that the thief had written. There is no need to talk or discuss. The BJP has always followed this model in terms of intelligence. Quan Thief was very satisfied with this.
But in Beijing at this time, Zheng Wenjie, a former intelligence peddler, felt a completely different way. As soon as Beiyang sat on this country, Zheng Wenjie began to raise his eyebrows. As a person from the old Beiyang, although Zheng Wenjie is not a soaring man in the War Department, he can be regarded as a steady promotion, and he has become a deputy director of the Operations Department. Since he was already in power in Beiyang, Zheng Wenjie no longer provided information to the People's Party. Fortunately, the People's Party never coerces anyone, and Zheng Wenjie can be regarded as a person who can afford to let go, and he has not been psychologically affected.
On July 8, there was a sudden commotion in the War Office. Zheng Wenjie was wondering why there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the office door was pushed open. "The People's Party sent a female representative to our War Department." The guy outside said in a very curious tone.
"Women?" Even as a middle-to-senior official, Zheng Wenjie still feels very curious.
"She's still a pretty handsome girl." The guy who came to ventilate the news said excitedly. It's not like there are no women with high status these days, but these women either rely on their mother's family or their husband's family. There really aren't women in a single organization. In addition, there are no women in the army, and these representatives of the People's Party have always worn military uniforms, so they are naturally considered female soldiers.
The person who can mess around in the War Department is really not someone who has never seen a woman. But such female representatives did arouse Zheng Wenjie's curiosity. "Let's go, look twice."
Representatives of the People's Party came to meet with Minister of War Wang Shizhen. Wang Shizhen was at the War Department, but he didn't want to meet with the representatives of the People's Party at all. These days, representatives of the People's Party are visiting everywhere, causing chaos in the capital. Not seeing these representatives is a certain degree of weakness, and seeing these representatives will cause rumors from others. Now that the situation is so chaotic, Wang Shizhen naturally wants to wait and see what happens, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop. It seems that the People's Party will not easily let Wang Shizhen be so peaceful.
It was Huang Yuyue who came to visit, she didn't see the group that seemed to be coming in and out, but Huang Yuyue looked at the shadow wall of the Ping Army Department at the gate of the War Department without squinting. The look of a bored man who looks at him like a monkey and is completely blind. She has seen a lot of this kind of high-profile treatment. Chairman Chen Ke specifically briefed the delegation, including Huang Yuyue, on the difference between "large-scale industrial socialization" and "small-scale peasant economy".
As a member of the delegation, Huang Yuyue is a member of the People's Party, a socialized large-scale production organization. The entire organization is behind Huang Yuyue, and each member of the organization must support the overall operation of the organization through their own labor. It can be said that "all for one, one for all".
Chen Ke was a staunch proletarian revolutionary, especially a particularly staunch materialist. However, Chen Ke also said to Huang Yuyue and others that some people are naturally able to integrate into this "socialized mass production" system, and the People's Party welcomes this kind of comrade.
Huang Yuyue has no confidence in whether she is a person who is born to integrate into the "socialized mass production" system, but she feels that she is indeed very adaptable to the existing system of the People's Party, so whether she is watched by onlookers or doing work, Huang Yuyue can naturally accept it.
The concierge seemed to have received an order, and Huang Yuyue waited for a long time but no one came to take care of her. But Huang Yuyue was not discouraged at all, in addition to asking every twenty minutes, she and two guards forcibly blocked the door of the War Department. It was a spectacle to be blocked by a woman leading someone to block the gate of the War Department. Many people coming and going outside had already stopped to watch, and the porter seemed to be unable to stand it, Huang Yuyue saw that the porter sent someone inside. After he came out, he invited Huang Yuyue and the others into the gatehouse to wait.
"No, if you think we're tired, bother mixing a few stools. We're just waiting here. Huang Yuyue said with a smile. In order to meet Wang Shizhen this time, the delegation discussed and asked Huang Yuyue to come forward in person. Wang Shizhen can fool men, but he can't stand being forced to the gate of the War Department by women.
"Why don't you wait at the War Department first?" The porter said in embarrassment.
"No need, it's a woman below, and I haven't seen the world. I'm afraid that I won't be able to see Mr. Wang Shizhen after I go in, so please go in and report and let Mr. Wang Shizhen come to greet us in person. Otherwise, come to the Army Department every day to ask for an audience. Huang Yuyue said softly. The standard ordinary speech of a southern woman is soft, and it is very different from that of a northern woman. The porter was stunned for a moment before he realized the great arrogance contained in these words.
After more than an hour, after Huang Yuyue blocked the entrance of the army department for five hours, Wang Shizhen finally sent his own soldiers to greet him.
Wang Shizhen actually admires Huang Yuyue, the female representative of the People's Party. It is easy to use the power of the BJP to suppress people. But a woman, one does not spill, and the other does not take advantage of her tongue. Instead, it does have its merits in adopting this tough door-blocking and visiting mode.
"I want to ask Beiyang to help you and provide you with information about the Qingdao Fortress. Topographic map of the fortress, gun emplacements. As soon as Huang Yuyue saw Wang Shizhen, she said straight to the point.
"Why?" The other party was so frank, Wang Shizhen didn't care about him.
Huang Yuyue replied frankly: "We are fighting with the Germans, and we do need this information. It takes too much time to prepare now. We believe in the Beiyang government, and we believe that you are all patriots. While our People's Party was fighting against the Germans, we hoped to have the support of the Chinese patriots. β
This dignified and upright remark made Wang Shizhen feel a little difficult to resist, and coercion and temptation would definitely not be able to impress Wang Shizhen. But it does not mean that Wang Shizhen himself has no position. Even from the standpoint of Beiyang, it does not mean that Wang Shizhen does not have a sense of obligation to China. was asked for support by a woman from the perspective of a patriot, Wang Shizhen couldn't answer for a while.
After pondering for a while, Wang Shizhen replied: "Please allow me to ask first, if there is, I will definitely provide it to you." β
Huang Yuyue smiled, "Minister Wang, you are an old-timer in the army. If we want to attack Qingdao, we will definitely attack Qingdao Fortress. You old-timers may not study the map of Qingdao Fortress. We really need this map, so please give us a word of approval, and you can consult President Yuan Da and the other Beiyang ministers about how long it will take. How long will it take to give us a word? β
Hearing this, Wang Shizhen really felt impressed. He believes that the People's Party's use of women is nothing more than a faΓ§ade. Moreover, the women in the army outside the People's Party are basically camp prostitutes. Therefore, Huang Yuyue's clear words made Wang Shizhen sure that what he was looking at was indeed a negotiation opponent, not a vase. This realization is very impactful.
After pondering for a while, Wang Shizhen replied: "Miss Huang, the People's Party wants to attack Qingdao, saying that it is to attack foreigners, but it is not for itself." The dispute between the People's Party and the Germans was provoked by the People's Party itself. If it wins, the People's Party will be powerful and will have a great chance of overriding the central authorities. If you want us to provide maps and intelligence on the fortress in Beiyang, what good will it do to our Beiyang? β
"Minister Wang, people say that the artifact has no owner, and the virtuous and powerful live in it. Our People's Party believes that Beiyang has both virtue and strength, so it strongly supports President Yuan Da to take the throne. If we do win, it will be Megatron indeed. But this Megatron is also on our own. If you see someone else's prosperity and feel jealous, thinking that others shouldn't be like this, then what kind of person is that? If you want to come to President Yuan, the princes of Beiyang, and the minister of the important town of Beiyang, you will definitely not be that kind of person. Huang Yuyue's voice was soft and beautiful, and she spoke unhurriedly.
was ridiculed like this, Wang Shizhen didn't have the slightest anger. The People's Party acted entirely on its own, so when the people in Beiyang discussed ways to deal with the People's Party, they found that there was basically no better way to deal with the People's Party than to take direct action militarily. Every time the People's Party and Beiyang talk about cooperation, it is really beneficial to Beiyang. If all cooperation is rejected just because of jealousy and fear of the People's Party, it only proves Beiyang's own cowardice and incompetence.
Huang Yuyue's words not only did not anger Wang Shizhen, but aroused Wang Shizhen's fighting spirit. He replied, "Within fifteen days, I will definitely give Miss Huang an accurate answer." β
Hearing this answer, Huang Yuyue couldn't help but smile slightly, "Minister Wang, have you calculated that it is impossible for us to start attacking Qingdao within fifteen days?" β
"Oh? Can the People's Party launch an offensive within 15 days? Wang Shizhen asked.
"Mobilize 100,000 troops to arrive in Qingdao, but I am afraid that it will not work within 15 days. However, more than 10,000 strikers can still reach Qingdao. Huang Yuyue replied.
"Then I will definitely be able to give Miss Huang an answer in fifteen days." Wang Shizhen replied. Judging from what Huang Yuyue said, as well as Wang Shizhen's own judgment, it will take a month for the People's Party to officially attack Qingdao. Without the attack of 100,000 troops, Wang Shizhen really couldn't think of any other way for the People's Party.
"Then I'll wait for your news, Minister Wang." Huang Yuyue replied, "Minister Wang, is there anything else you want to ask me?" β
This sentence is to say goodbye clearly, but it is very different from the common way of saying goodbye in officialdom. Wang Shizhen was stunned for a moment before replying, "No." β
"Then I'll take my leave." Huang Yuyue got up and said.
Looking at Huang Yuyue's back, Wang Shizhen shook his head slightly. A female doll can act at such a high level, and the People's Party can only be described as full of talents. Thinking that although Beiyang is also a large number of people, compared with Huang Yuyue, the people in Beiyang are too old. Wang Shizhen felt a burst of melancholy.
