Chapter 518: Stealing Chickens Can't Be Done
Tibet, because it is located on the plateau, the terrain is tortuous and uneven, and in addition to the imperial court's policy on Tibet, the jurisdiction over Tibet is relatively lax. Even the official roads are less than in other provinces, and most of them are small roads that can just pass through a horse-drawn carriage.
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and then from the bend at the foot of the mountain, two black horses came out, judging from the clothing, these two people were dressed like Tibetans, but on closer inspection, they were not Tibetans. It is impossible for Tibetans to have deep black leather shoes in this society.
So, a tall, thinner man pulled the horse, and after looking at the road that stretched to the end of the sky, he turned his head and asked a man behind him who was about the same height as him, but obviously a little strong, and said: "White, in two days, we will be able to reach Qamdo, I really hope that before we reach Chang, the Qamdo guard will be able to hold it, otherwise, even if we run in vain, we will not be able to complete the trust of the governor and ****." ”
"Yes, I wish God blessed." The man also stopped, looked at the mountains in the distance, and smiled.
These two people, even Rong Haozhang and White, originally a total of sixteen people, were ordered to enter Tibet at the invitation of the Governor General of India and ****, ready to help **** train soldiers. Later, however, the Viceroy of India suddenly ordered all of his people to meet India immediately, and at the same time gave a secret order to the Junghe Medal and White to secretly enter Chamdo. "Rong, you say, why do we have to leave suddenly, and also change into such dirty clothes." White looked at the black Tibetan robe on his body in disgust, and was very dissatisfied.
Rong Hao Chang heard White say such words, and suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, this White has been his assistant all these years, he doesn't know what has happened outside since he entered Lhasa, Tibet, but he knows very well.
In the telegram of the Governor-General, it was clearly stated that Liaodong had put pressure on the British.
It turned out that after seeing the exercises between Liaodong and the German fleet in the South China Sea, Will immediately understood that with the current strength of the Far East Fleet, it was no longer able to compete with the Beiyang Fleet in Liaodong, and now that Liaodong had used Germany as an ally, it would be even more difficult.
Will understood even more that it was impossible for the Reich to go to the Far East from the Pan Qian fleet in Europe, and now the pressure on the German side was increasing, and just a month earlier, Germany had launched a new type of battleship, which suddenly brought the two countries closer together.
He knew that the Reich Chancellor and the Admiralty were now worried about how to suppress Germany, and that they could not and would not be able to use troops in the Far East. So when he returned to Guangdong, he immediately went to Hong Kong. And he told the Governor of Hong Kong about his analysis and what he had seen, and asked him to report the situation to Britain.
After receiving this information, the British Prime Minister immediately convened an emergency meeting with the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the Admiralty, and the General Staff. After discussion, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance do not want to fall out with Liaodong, the reason is too simple, once you are tired with Liaodong, then Britain's trade in Liaodong will reduce the grassroots, and Britain's income will be reduced by one-tenth, for the sake of a ravine and valley of Tibet, this is not cost-effective.
The Prime Minister was a member of the Conservative Party, so after seeking his consent, he immediately ordered the Viceroy of India to withdraw all those who had entered Tibet.
But what he didn't expect was that the Indian governor disobeyed the order, and although he withdrew on the surface, he secretly arranged for two people to go to Qamdo to assist the Tibetan army, and these two people were Rong Hezhang and White.
Rong Hezhang and White are called superiors and subordinates, but they are actually close friends, so he told White the situation as it was. Knowing everything, White nodded in realization, slightly hit the black steed under him, and began to walk away again.
However, they did not know that they would probably not be able to go to Chamdo for the rest of their lives, nor would they be able to return to India, or even to England.
On the official road of Qamdo, a small tea stall stands, and a Tibetan dressed in coarse cloth is picking up a teapot in his hand to pour water for passing guests. From time to time, this person would raise his eyes and look in the direction of Lhasa.
Walking up to a man in a black suit, the man looked at it for a while, and said softly while pouring water: "The stationmaster sent a secret telegram, be sure to kill Rong Hezhang and White." ”
After taking a sip of tea, the man lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "This is the only way from Lhasa to Qamdo, and I have a radius of fifty kilometers to settle down, so they will inevitably come here." As soon as you find it, do it immediately. After the man finished speaking, he took out two copper plates from his pocket and threw them on the table, then turned around and picked up his bag and left.
This man was carrying a teapot and wearing a white apron in front of him. , is Sun Hao, the head of the Luolong sub-station of Tibet Station. A day earlier, the order issued from Tibet had been delivered to him, and the order on it was simple, a red chase and kill order.
The pursuit order of the Liaodong Intelligence Bureau is divided into red, black and white, and red is the highest level, which means the situation, even if a hundred people die. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you must pursue them.
Sun Hao remembers very well that the chase and kill order issued by the Liaodong Intelligence Bureau, the only time it was red, was five years ago, and now he sees the red chase again, he understands how harmful these two people will be to Liaodong, so he urgently gathered the personnel of the entire intelligence station, all concentrated here, as long as the two British on the intelligence arrived, they would be shot immediately. Absolutely no one is left alive.
"Here we are." A man in a brown Tibetan robe ran over quickly, pointed to the mountain col in the distance, and quickly picked up the tea from the table and took a sip.
"Ready."
With a bang, the people sitting in front of the surrounding tables quietly stretched their hands to their waists.
"White, how do I feel my eyelids just jump." Rong Hezhang, who was on the horse, rubbed the corners of his eyes with his hand and asked with a puzzled expression.
"I guess there's no rest." White said lightly. In the past two days, I have been on the road continuously, and I have not been able to get a good rest.
I put my head out and looked at it. White saw a tea stall in the distance, there was no one on the road for more than fifty miles, and now he saw a tea stall, and after adding Rong Hezhang's eyes jumping, he pointed and said, "Where are we going to rest." ”
"Boss, here are some side dishes, and tea." White, who had dismounted his horse, walked straight to the tea stall and said. He is very fluent in Chinese, but the shoes under his feet expose him.
"You're White and Your Excellency Rong Hezhang." The owner of the tea stall in front of him asked with a smile.
Strange, how could this person know his name. But he still nodded politely: "I am, dare to ask you?" “
"We're sending you to the west." As soon as the man finished speaking, he took out a pistol from under the tea stall and put it against White's head.
