Witte was silent, and Dubasov and Volkov sat quietly in their seats, except for the sound of Dubasov's breathing with a pipe, the whole room was quiet, but at the moment it was extremely lively outside the conference room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's a 'butcher', do you think he will take this opportunity to have a bloodbath in Manchuria this time?"

"How do I know, this guy looks harmless to humans and animals, but the blood on his hands is no less than ours."

"Yes, yes! I have a distant relative who was cleaned up on the outskirts of Moscow, and now I don't know where the body is. ”

"You don't know, when I went back to Moscow some time ago, it is said that many people in the local area are now afraid to go to the woods where the execution was carried out, and it is said that it is very windy there now, and even the priests are reluctant to go there."

"You are talking too far, those doglegs of the intelligence bureau here in the Far East are not as bad as Moscow and Petersburg."

"Yes, yes, Amur Oblast, Primorsky Province and other places also killed a large number of people, not to mention anything else, don't you know about the operation of the intelligence bureau in Vladivostok last year."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, the more I talk about it, the more bottomless my heart becomes. You must know that the intelligence bureau is pervasive after two years of development, so let's talk less. ”

This person's words were instantly recognized by everyone, you must know that the current intelligence bureau is not what it was when it was first established. The General Directorate of Royal Intelligence, which was only established in December 1895, has grown into a huge department after two years of development, and in accordance with the development steps set by Witte at the beginning, it is now a huge department, with six major departments under its jurisdiction -- namely, the General Directorate of Foreign Intelligence, the General Directorate of Domestic Intelligence, the General Directorate of Military Management, the General Directorate of Security, the General Department of General Affairs, and the General Operations Corps, with more than 10,000 personnel in office.

Although Witte is not the director of the Royal Intelligence Directorate on the surface, everyone knows that the current director of the Royal Intelligence Directorate, Romanloff, is just a decoration, and the major work of the General Intelligence Directorate can only be carried out with the approval of Werther, which is why the officials are afraid of Witt wherever he goes.

Although it was still August, the temperature outside was not very low, but the temperature in the conference room was gradually decreasing, and Kolchak couldn't bear it, so he walked up to Witte and said: "Colonel, this matter is all caused by my disadvantage in restraining my subordinates, and I am willing to take all the responsibility." ”

"Vasilyevich!" Kolchak's words made Dubasov and Volkov scream nervously.

Witt smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth when he heard Kolchak's words, turned to look at the angry eyes of Dubasov and Volkov, and slowly said to Kolchak: "Ensign, then can you tell me what happened?" Don't be afraid, I'm sure General Dubasov and General Volkov won't embarrass you. ”

"On July 9, I led a 20-member patrol to the area of Sun Gully, west of the Dragon River, for routine patrols." Kolchak soothed his mood and said, "As we were about to reach the Sun Gully, we passed by a small village, where children attacked us with stones. The soldiers were not angry, but played games with the children, but the villagers did not know why they suddenly picked up the tools of the field and attacked us. So the soldiers opened fire in self-defense, and then this happened. ”

After hearing this, Witt asked, "Is that all?" ”

"Yes, exactly!" Before Kolchak could speak, Dubasov preemptively said: "If those Qing villagers did not attack our great imperial soldiers, we would not have done such a thing. ”

Witt glanced at Dubasov and said, "Your Excellency, do you think that such words can make those journalists give up?" General, there must be a perfect outcome in this matter, not for me, but for Your Majesty! ”

"Colonel, I am willing to go to court-martial, and I will take all the responsibility myself!" Kolchak said fearlessly.

Witt smiled and said, "Ensign, do you think this matter is something that you can undertake as a midship-in-command?" Then he looked at Dubasov and said: "General, you should understand that it is not up to him to deal with this matter now. ”

"And what do you want?" Then Volkov asked.

"It's not what I want, it's what you want!" Witt said, "Even if your Far Eastern army and navy, including the Far Eastern Governor's Palace, reach an agreement, you will not be able to change this disposition, because you have made Your Majesty very angry and made the entire empire very passive in the Far East. The British, the French, the Germans, and even the dwarf Japanese monkeys have all protested against us, do you think this is the end of the matter? ”

After hearing this, Dubasov said disdainfully: "What does Mr. Colonel want?" This is Manchuria, which was brought down by our great imperial navy, but some humble Qing people died, should I let my warriors go to bury them? ”

Witte listened to Dubasov's words, his heart twitched, he wanted to take out his gun and kill this guy now, the dead civilians were worthless in their eyes, and they were still defending the murderer, and finally reason overcame impulse, Witte stood up and said: "The 20 officers and soldiers who participated in this massacre must be executed on the spot, and the commander, including you, General Dubasov, will receive the corresponding military trial under my supervision, this is my opinion, and of course this is also the opinion of Petersburg." ”

"You can try, Colonel! If you dare to do this, I am sure that tomorrow Petersburg will receive news of the sinking of the ship of the new Minister of Military Affairs of Arthur, His Excellency Witte, in the Yellow Sea. Dubasov roared with fire in his eyes.

Witte still asked calmly, "Does the general have to be like this?"

Dubasov was still glaring at Werther, while Volkov was silent, and as for Kolchak, he understood by this time that he should not have been involved in this matter at all, and it had little to do with him. Seeing that Dubasov was still like this, Witte said: "Now that this is the case, it seems that we have no way to communicate." With that, Werther got up and walked out the door.

As soon as Witte took a step, the door was suddenly opened, and a major pushed the door in and saluted, saying, "The command of the Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok has called, asking Colonel Witte to read it." ”

"Oh, show me what Commander Alikseev has to say." Witt said. After reading the telegram, Witte said to the major: "Read this telegram to General Dubasov, I am sure he will remember it for the rest of his life." ”

The Major read inexplicably: "Your Excellency Arthur's Minister of Military Affairs, Witt: The Arthur incident was really sudden...... The investigation by the Intelligence Bureau is detailed, clear and clear...... From now on, Dubasov will be dismissed from his post as commander of the detachment of the Pacific Fleet and handed over to Arthur's military tribunal for trial; Dismiss Dubasov and transfer him to Arthur's court-martial, and all other persons involved in the case will be tried by Arthur's court-martial......"

Dubasov heard the shouts from behind: "Impossible, impossible......"

But at this moment Witte went to the door and shouted to the door: "Augustev! ”

"Chief of the Intelligence Group of the Far East Division of the General Directorate of Military Management of the Royal Intelligence Directorate-General Anani. Artemyevich. Augustev reports to the chief! A young lieutenant stood up and said.

The officers of Arthur's garrison, who were still talking just now, were stunned, but they only heard Witt say at this time: "Now I order you to immediately take people to arrest Dubasov and Volkov in the military prison and execute them immediately." ”

"Yes!" As Augustev spoke, he waved his hand, and in an instant, six guards in naval uniforms followed him into the conference room.
