Chapter 497: Special Investigator
9oo1o[o]983
※ In the spring of the month, the south is just the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Although the ice and snow have indeed melted, the padded jacket on this body is also a necessary equipment for the morning and evening. I only dare to take it off at noon.
A train whistled into the Harbin railway station, and then slowly stopped on the platform, and the passengers in the carriage couldn't wait to drag their luggage to the other side of the door.
In this bustling crowd, Wu Luzhen also took a few entourages carrying large bags and small bags, followed the passengers in front of him and leaned towards the door of the carriage, like the passengers, Wu Luzhen at this time could no longer see the temperament of a soldier, dressed in a straight dress, wearing a black top hat, carrying a briefcase in his hand, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Wu Luzhen, who was officially appointed by the central government as the "General Office of Frontier Affairs of the Three Eastern Provinces," rushed to Shenyang from Guannei five days ago; he got on the train from Shenyang yesterday and rushed to Harbin along the South Manchurian branch of the Dongqing Railway, where he was supposed to arrive at his destination yesterday. However, due to a cross-border military exercise by the "South Manchurian Railway Garrison" of Gumoto, the train was delayed, and as a result, it did not arrive in Harbin until noon today.
Of course. When she came to Harbin this time, Wu Luzhen did not come here in the capacity of the "General Office of Border Affairs of the Three Eastern Provinces." He rushed to Harbin as a special investigator of the "China Anti-Cool Committee", and the "special investigator" is a cover, after all. What is now Harbin was the sphere of influence of Tsarist Russia. Under the current international situation, it is indeed inappropriate for General Manager Wu to appear in public in Harbin, and the current diplomatic strategy of the central government is to "unite with Russia and resist Japan," although Tsarist Russia is not a good thing. But now it is still worth "uniting", and Japan is the most dangerous neighbor.
On the surface, the so-called "China Epidemic Prevention Committee" is a purely non-governmental organization, but because many of the members of this dung committee are government officials of the Republic of China, and they have also received funding support from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China, this non-governmental organization has a strong official color. At the end of the year, the reason for the emergence of this organization was that in addition to the importance of the president of the Republic of China to the work of health and fatigue prevention, the direct reason for its establishment was because of the plague that broke out a year and a half ago.
At the end of the old year to the state, at the beginning of the year, a plague broke out in the three eastern provinces of China, and the culprit of the plague fatigue was C. rats, to be precise, lung rat fatigue. The outbreak first appeared in the Russian-controlled areas in the northern part of the three eastern provinces, and Russia quickly took measures to isolate the patients and drive a large number of Chinese laborers to the southern part of the three eastern provinces. The epidemic quickly spread to the entire three eastern provinces and regions, causing considerable panic.
In the face of the sudden epidemic, Zhao Bei worked out the response measures with his usual vigorous and resolute action, and under the personal planning of the president, an epidemic prevention committee was quickly established, and Mr. Wu Liande, a doctor of medicine who graduated from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom and a returned overseas Chinese, was appointed as the chairman of the epidemic prevention committee.
At that time, the mainstream view of the international medical community was that rat addiction was only transmitted through fleas, but after careful analysis of the germ samples and the treatment of the patient, Mr. Wu Liande was not able to spread the germs, but the infected air exhaled by the patient, which was "pneumonic plague", but Mr. Wu Liande did not pay attention to the international medical community, only Mr. President gave him absolute trust and support, and it was with the full support of Mr. President that Mr. Wu Liande was able to take decisive measures to quickly control the spread of the epidemic. And finally completely controlled the fatigue within two months, after the beginning of spring the following year. This plague is basically over.
It is precisely because of their outstanding performance in this fatigue prevention work that Mr. Wu Liande and his epidemic prevention team have been valued and respected by the Chinese people and even the world's medical community, so after this plague has passed, the fatigue prevention committee did not disband, but continued to work in the three eastern provinces until the end of last year, when it was officially reorganized into the "China Epidemic Prevention Committee" and presided over the national health and epidemic prevention work together with the Department of Health and Epidemic Prevention under the Ministry of the Interior.
Although it has been almost a year since the exhaustion in the three eastern provinces ended, considering the blockage of information. and the characteristics of the East Mongolia grassland, which is vast and sparsely populated. Both the central government of the Republic of China and the colonial authorities of Russia and Japan welcomed the move of the epidemic prevention committee to send people to inspect various places. After all, in the eyes of germs, human beings are the same, regardless of race, regardless of country, health and fatigue prevention is not just a matter for Chinese themselves.
This situation has facilitated Wu Luzhen's actions, and his actions have also won the support of the epidemic prevention committee, and the identity certificate of his "special investigator" was personally signed by Chairman Wu Liande, which is full of gold, and in order not to show his feet, Wu Luzhen even specially got a few medical books to recharge himself, and one of his attachés also had a microscope in his suitcase.
Of course. After all, Wu Luzhen is a soldier, his profession is to study how to fight and kill people, this work of saving lives and helping the wounded, small, the job of saving the wounded is even different from this time in Harbin, Wu Luzhen's real purpose is to come to the field to investigate the fighting spirit of the Korean anti-Japanese diaspora in North Manchuria, so as to make suggestions for the implementation of the center's next strategy.
Since the outbreak of a large-scale anti-Japanese uprising on the Korean Peninsula two years ago, the three eastern provinces have become the most reliable logistics and material channels for those anti-Japanese guerrillas, and the Japanese-made and Russian-made rifles and bullets collected by the People's Affairs Bureau through various channels have been transported from the three eastern provinces to the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. Although the Japanese Government has repeatedly requested cooperation from the Russian side through diplomatic channels, as far as Russia, which suffered a great defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, is concerned, as long as the Korean people's anti-Japanese independence struggle does not affect Russia's rule over North Manchuria, the Russian Government does not mind turning the Japanese Government's main attention back to the Korean Peninsula. This helped Russia strengthen its influence in the three eastern provinces and Mongolia.
Against this international background, more and more DPRK patriotic groups and organizations have chosen to establish liaison stations in the Russian-controlled areas in the northern part of the three eastern provinces, and some Korean anti-Japanese groups that were originally active in the Japanese-controlled areas in the southern part of the three eastern provinces have also moved their bases to the North Manchurian region. As a result, a large number of Korean expatriate settlements have been formed in the Harbin area, and since these people basically abide by the Russian colonial order, the Russian colonial authorities have basically turned a blind eye to the existence of these Korean expatriates, and among these Korean expatriates, it is difficult to say who are anti-Japanese guerrillas and who are just ordinary people who have fled abroad in order to escape the war-torn motherland.
Wu Luzhen rushed to Harbin this time. It is to get in touch with these North Korean diaspora.
After getting off the train and waiting for a short time in the heavily guarded railway station, a man dressed as a businessman walked up to Wu Luzhen and the others. After a few glances at the luggage that everyone was carrying, he asked them very politely.
"How many, but a special investigator from the Anti-Weight Control Committee? Dare to ask who is leading the team? How to call it? The merchant spoke in a Shandong accent.
"Yes, we are the special investigator sent by the Guilt Prevention Committee, surnamed Wu, is the team leader, you can just call me Mr. Wu."
Wu Luzhen hurriedly took two steps and shook hands with the businessman, taking advantage of this opportunity, both of their fingers inadvertently made a few movements, which could be regarded as catching their heads.
"It turned out to be Mr. Wu. In Xia Zhang Zongchang, the comprador of the Four Seas Trading Company, during your stay in Harbin, this accommodation was undertaken by the Four Seas Trading Company. The carriage was waiting outside the train station, and a few of them came with me. ”
After speaking, the businessman led Wu Luzhen and others out of the railway station, and got a four-wheeled carriage with emblems outside the station.
In the carriage. The "merchant worker" Zhang Zongchang took out a few refined paper cigarettes, handed them to Wu Luzhen and his attachés, and lit a fire for a few people.
Wu Luzhen looked at this "businessman" and asked: "Mr. Zhang, I just saw that your gesturing movements are very neat, presumably you also ran the rivers and lakes in your early years, right?" "Mr. Wu is polite, I can't afford to be this under the next Mr., two words, in the grass word Xiaokun. Mr. Wu has a good eye, he did mix in the green forest in the next year, and then went to sea cudivostok for a while, and he understands some of the rules of the rivers and lakes, and he can speak a few words of Russian. Zhang Zongchang said.
Wu Luzhen nodded, didn't say anything more, although he was not a member of the Intelligence Bureau, but he also knew that after more than two years of painstaking operation, the Military Intelligence Bureau had established many intelligence stations and contact points in the three eastern provinces, Harbin was the political center and economic center of the North Manchurian region, and the Military Intelligence Bureau established the "North Manchurian Intelligence Station" here, and the person in charge of the "North Manchurian Intelligence Station" was codenamed "Tieqiao", and Zhang Zongchang in front of him was obviously a subordinate of "Tieqiao".
As for the details of the "North Manchurian intelligence station". Wu Luzhen is completely unclear, he doesn't even know whether this "Four Seas Trading Company" is a contact point of the intelligence station, but now he doesn't worry about it, if it is said that in the South Manchurian region must also beware of the Japanese, then, this North Manchurian region does not need to be noisy, the current Sino-Russian relations, this relationship is still relatively good, the railway connecting Inner and Outer Mongolia is a symbol of the "friendship" between the two countries, although the railway has not
Work.
The carriage walked unhurriedly for more than ten minutes. Then stopped Pinglai, Zhang Zongchang got out of the car first, Wu Luzhen also got out of the car with his attaché, looked up and saw a magnificent two-story building in front of him, the first floor is a Russian foreign firm, and there is an eye-catching signboard on the outer wall of the second floor, with six big characters on it: Sihai Trading Company.
"Mr. Wu, please go upstairs. Mr. Tieqiao is waiting for you upstairs. Zhang Zongchang smiled and made a gesture of please.
"Oh? Mr. Iron Bridge is here? ”
Wu Luzhen was indeed a little surprised, he didn't expect the stationmaster of the Beiman Intelligence Station to wait for him here in person, so he didn't bother with it, put on a top hat, dressed up his dress, and carried a briefcase into the western-style building.
