Let the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Zhao Beiya go to Tian Jinfu, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and transfer the design drawings of the anti-Wang and Lei to Tian Jinfu, "Ding instructed him to transfer the design drawings to the German ambassador to China in the shortest possible time, so that the German infantry can be equipped with this new anti-tank weapon as soon as possible."

However, Zhao Bei came over, not all to hand over the design drawings of this anti-tank grenade, he rushed to the Military Intelligence Bureau. There is an important matter to discuss with Tian Jinfu.

The consultation took place in Tian Jinfu's office, and there were only the two of them in the room, no one else, and even the guards were standing in the corridor.

Tian Jinfu knew what Zhao Bei came here for, so without waiting for Zhao Bei's instructions, he took out a map from the safe in the corner and spread it out on the desk, and the circles on the map were particularly eye-catching.

This is a map of the territory of the Russian Empire. On the map, along the famous Trans-Siberian Railway, are those striking circles and dots.

"These red circles represent large bridges here, and these red dots indicate that there are tunnels here, and these key points can be destroyed if needed to block traffic on the Trans-Siberian Railway

Listening to Tian Jinfu's introduction, Zhao Bei carefully studied the map, then turned his gaze to Central Asia, and pointed at that region with his finger.

"At present, your military intelligence has established a number of reliable intelligence stations in Central Asia, and now the situation in the Russian Empire is chaotic, and Central Asia has always been a weak region under the rule of the Russian Empire. Now, most likely, an uprising against the rule of the Russian Empire is brewing there, and like the Arab tribes under the Ottoman Empire, the traditional powers of Central Asia are also very dissatisfied with the rule of the Russian Empire, as long as the wind blows. Central Asia will be in complete chaos.

Considering that Central Asia borders on China's western frontier and that the situation there will also have a direct impact on China's western frontier region, we must take precautions and preemptively formulate an infiltration plan. A few days ago, I informed all the ministries stationed in Xinjiang to pay close attention to the situation in Central Asia and be ready to intervene at any time, but at present, the Idi Railway has not yet been completed and opened to traffic, and in addition, the capacity of the inland railways is relatively tight, and the land reinforcement plan has been somewhat delayed. ”

"I have commanded it. The president can rest assured that Britain is also very powerful in Central Asia, and even if something happens, the British government will not sit idly by, and perhaps, we can use the power of Britain. ”

Although Tian Jinfu is optimistic, he takes into account the complexity of the history, religion, folklore, society, ethnicity and other situations in Central Asia; He did not think that China alone could completely control the situation on the ground, and given that Britain had also been paying attention to the Central Asian region, Tian Jinfu did not dare to be careless, in fact, since a few years ago, the Military Intelligence Agency has increased its activities in the Central Asian region, and has extensively deployed local intelligence personnel, and actively encircled those local leaders through the Chamber of Commerce. Although the counter-intelligence department of the Russian Empire was also aware of this, due to the containment of the war in Europe, the Russian Imperial Government could only take purely defensive measures, and on the other hand, the spy organizations that the Russian Empire used to display in the western frontier of China have basically been uprooted by the Military Intelligence Agency, which also makes it impossible for the Russian Empire to take effective countermeasures.

After discussing the situation in Central Asia, Zhao Bei paid attention to the direction of Nanyang again, pointed to a map of Nanyang, and asked Tian Jinfu about the work of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the Ranyang area.

"The British government and the colonial authorities solved the Malayan crisis by military means, but there are still a lot of hidden dangers, and because the British ** team infringed on the interests of the local Chinese and indigenous people in the process of military suppression, the Malayan region seems to be calm, but in fact the dark tide is surging, as long as the opportunity is right, there will be another uprising at any time, the British colonial authorities also saw this, and are currently taking measures to alleviate the anti-British sentiment of the local aborigines, and one of the measures is to squeeze out the Chinese, reduce the economic advantages of the Chinese, Fearing that the British colonial authorities would turn the violent sentiments of the indigenous people towards the Chinese and overseas Chinese, the Chinese and Huaqiao in Malaya continued to move to the Sumatrara area.

According to the statistics of the Dutch East Indian colonial authorities, at present, the total number of Chinese residents in Sumatra has exceeded the local indigenous population, so the Dutch are currently stepping up the implementation of the relocation plan of the indigenous people of Java "in an attempt to further increase the number of indigenous people in Sumatra in order to suppress the Chinese.

In addition, in the Borneo region, because the armed rebellion of the Korean expatriates has been suppressed by the Netherlands and Japan, there has been no large-scale military conflict in the Borneo region, but with the arrival of Japanese immigrants, the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Agency stationed in the local area believe that in the coming period, the conflict between the local Chinese expatriate, the indigenous population and the Japanese expatriate will gradually intensify, and it may be possible to take advantage of it, but considering that Borneo is occupied by the British and the Dutch respectively, the situation may be more complicated than in the Malayan region.

Since the German Spey fleet has lost all its supply ships and can only rely on the submarines of our navy for limited replenishment, the Germans want to go to Hainan Island, on the one hand, to strengthen the supply, and on the other hand, to repair warships, but according to the analysis of the intelligence station sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau to Hainan Island. At present, there are already many French spies in the guise of merchants, so I think it is not appropriate for the German fleet to resupply Hainan Island, as for where to receive supplies, this still needs to be decided by the center.

Finally, regarding the military intelligence agency's exhibition in the French Indochinese colony, everything went smoothly a few days ago. Lu Rongting played an important role in this, and he had some local connections to assist the MIA, and now France was busy with the war in Europe. Much less attention is paid to the Far East than it used to be. The MIA could use some of the indigenous tribes that were dissatisfied with the French colonial authorities to gather intelligence and infiltrate the colonial administration, and those Indochinese youths with strong nationalist positions were also recruited by the MIA, some of whom have now entered our military academies and begun to study military technology. and learn about Chinese culture

Tian Jinfu explained the current situation in the entire Nanyang region, and he also understood. Zhao Bei's grasp of the situation in Nanyang is no worse than his, and the state does not have to be too deceitful, anyway, this detailed report will be submitted to the president's desk in the future.

After listening to Tian Jinfu's introduction, Zhao Bei stood up, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for a few steps, carefully pondering the next step of the implementation plan of the Nanyang strategy, in fact, he had already formulated various plans, but the specific situation still needs to be specifically analyzed, the current Nanyang situation to which step, what kind of plan needs to be adopted, this must be treated with caution.

Very different from history, in the present. Japan's power in the South Seas has been greatly strengthened. Although Japan has been working hard to migrate to the Nanyang region since the Meiji Restoration, and has made some achievements, if it were not for the Japanese government's "northward expansion plan" that was crushed by China by force, then Japan would not be so hard in the Nanyang direction now.

Zhao Bei was happy to see this, because in his view, the more Japan paid attention to the direction of the South Seas, the more it paid attention to China and the northern regions, and the more likely it was to expand to the East Asian continent in the future, and China would no longer have to face a real threat from Japan.

However, there are disadvantages to everything, and Japan's expansion in the South Seas will not only have a negative impact on the implementation of Zhaobei's Nanyang strategy, but will also gradually increase Japan's strength, and how to limit the growth of Japan's power without provoking Japan is an urgent task facing Zhao Bei at present.

Although Zhao Bei once threw a fragrant bait to the Japanese side, trying to instigate the Japanese government to use the opportunity of the European war to seize the British or French colonies in the South Seas, but the Japanese government did not bite the hook, but participated in the Allied war against Germany in accordance with the obligations of the "Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Alliance", not only sent a naval fleet south to seize Germany's colonies in the Pacific, but also sent a fleet to the Mediterranean Sea to provide escort for the Allied merchant fleet to deal with German submarine attacks.

On the surface, Japan is a loyal ally of Britain, but Zhao Bei knows that the reason why the Japanese government is willing to act as a British lackey is mainly in exchange for British government loans and industrial orders in order to save Japan's precarious economy after the war.

In order for Japan to be determined to expand its power in the direction of the sea, two things must be done at the same time: First, China must maintain a strong army force and use military deterrence to force Japan to abandon any attempt to expand into the East Asian continent. But at the same time, China's naval power must give Japan a "sense of security" and make Japan aware of it. China's navy poses no mortal threat to it; Second. China must also encourage Japan to maintain normal state-to-state and commercial relations with Japan. It makes the Japanese government feel that China has no ill will towards Japan, and as long as Japan does not expand its influence in the direction of East Asia, China will not take the initiative to attack Japan, and may even support Japan's "plan to advance south" Zhao Bei is now doing these two things, on the one hand, strengthening the army building, and at the same time vetoing the Admiralty's building of the "Fifth Five-Year Fleet." Or the battleship armament scheme of the "three-three fleet", let Japan see. China is currently only an army power. As for the navy, with the exception of the submarine forces, it is far inferior to the Japanese navy, which is not only necessary for Chinese diplomacy, but also determined by the financial situation. It is impossible for China to maintain a strong army and a strong navy at the same time, and in the same way, Japan cannot maintain a strong army while maintaining a strong navy, on the other hand. Zhao Bei passed the "Sino-Japanese Friendship Promotion Association." Sino-Japanese relations are now steadily developing after strengthening people-to-people exchanges with Japan and abolishing discriminatory tariffs on certain Japanese goods. Although diplomatic relations are still only at the ministerial level, Zhao Bei is fully convinced that his overtures to Japan have deceived a number of Japanese politicians and people, and given time, Wang Yitang, president of the Sino-Japanese Friendly Relations Promotion Association, has been advocating. "Pan-Asianism" may not necessarily become a norm for exchanges between China and Japan, or even between Asian countries.

But all this is an illusion, whether it is the practical needs of national interests or historical grievances, Zhao Bei will not allow Japan's power to threaten China's security again, Japan can expand its power to the South Seas, but this is only to take advantage of China's fire.

After the friendly abandonment, it was a sharp knife hidden in the sleeve, and the person holding this sharp knife was Zhao Bei.

"Yoshihito, how sharp are those Japanese prisoners of war that you have exhibited by the Military Intelligence Agency that can be used now?.

Zhao Bei stopped and asked Tian Jinfu.

Tian Jinfu said: "There are only a dozen that can be used now, and only five are reliable and have a high status" and the most valuable of them is the "snail", this person was captured in the Battle of Lushun, he was a naval officer, he was interrogated in the prisoner of war camp and was shown as a spy, after returning to China, he was idle for a while, and only resumed his military post after Japan declared war on Germany, and is currently serving as a staff officer in the Japanese Navy's Command Department. A small half of the funding for the Japanese station of the Military Intelligence Agency was spent on this person. It's just that he is not very public, and he never spends money lavishly, so the possibility of exposure is relatively low. ”

"You must make good use of this pawn. But we must also be careful not to be used by counter-plots, after all, we are Japanese, and we are not of the same mind. In addition, for other spies, we should also find ways to support them and take a roundabout route. If necessary, it can be lurked for a long time, and it will always come in handy in the future, and the so-called "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles" can only make policy adjustments accordingly if we grasp the policies of the Japanese government. ”

Zhao Bei made a clear instruction, not only he understands this truth, but Tian Jinfu also understands it, which is also the meaning of espionage warfare.

However, Zhao Bei also knows very well that it is the strength of the country that ultimately determines the outcome of this international competition. Especially the industrial strength, so, after finishing the work of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Zhao Beili devoted himself to the fiery industrial construction. It is said that the book is full of umbrellas
