When he arrived at Chechakov, Zhang Zongchang had this crime in his heart, and he owed someone who could hide his thoughts, so he immediately recommended himself.

"President, why don't you send me to Chechakov's security company, I can speak Russian, and I spent some time in the green forest. In terms of talent, it is no worse than that Zhang Zuoshuang, nor worse than that Feng Delin. ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Zongchang boasting about himself, Zhao Beile was happy. "Xiaokun, in fact, you don't need to recommend yourself, I will also send you to the security company to assist. After all, this security company is hired by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and it should install some Chinese, and now it is naturally the most suitable for you to go, and you can also choose some righteous and hard-working good men from your friends in the green forest to join the company, but the number of people must be well controlled, not too much, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Make the company's managers feel embarrassed. ”

Hearing the word "manager", Chechakov immediately sat up straight and took out the posture of the manager, Zhang Zongchang was not as pretentious as him, but asked a question very seriously.

"Set this up. The security company, to give a nice name, when I mixed the green forest, the heroes have a well-known name, this company is the same reason, the name is not loud, this business is not prosperous, this can not be sloppy. ”

"Regarding the name of the company, you go down and discuss it yourself, I won't say anything, you can negotiate with the Chamber of Commerce."

Speaking of this, Zhao Bei stood up, walked up to Zhang Zongchang and Chechakov, and stretched out his hand.

"Now. If you don't want to stay in the barracks, I can order someone to take you away in a car and go to Shenyang to stay in the city.

Zhang Zongchang and Chechakov naturally refused to sleep on the big kang in the barracks, so they took their leave and left. Zhao Bei didn't send the two of them far, and when he walked to the door, he stopped, and watched the two get into a car. Then I went back to the office. Picked up the phone, shook the switchboard, and a few minutes later, Gong Qingxiu rushed to the office.

Gong Qingxiu is one of the best intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau, has completed many confidential tasks very beautifully, and has also been secretly commended by the Military Intelligence Bureau and the president many times, and now he is the head of the intelligence station of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the three eastern provinces, since taking office, Zhen Qingxiu has gone all out to arrange intelligence work in the three eastern provinces, collected a large number of Japanese and Russian military intelligence, and provided good intelligence support for the war against Japan. It's all very heavy.

"Qingxiu, come and sit, you're welcome, it's not the first time we've met, you know my temper, I'm a person. You are not a subordinate in front of me, you are my friend. ”

Zhao Bei was very polite, although he knew Gong Qingxiu's real name, but since the other party had used his current identity to integrate into the Northeast society, there was no need to trace his past.

"The president is polite, no matter who the president regards me, the department is always a subordinate of the president, a soldier of the president, as long as the president gives an order, the department will never dare to disobey."

Gong Qingxiu did what she said, and immediately chose a stool and sat down.

"Zhang Zongchang, you have chosen this person well, although this person does not have much talent. But you have a wide range of friends, although the tone is not strict, but he is a straightforward and fast-talking person. ”

The president was falsely praised. As for Zhang Zongchang, it was not deliberately selected by the department, and the biggest shortcoming of this person was that he was easy to gamble, and it was precisely because of this that I never dared to give him important tasks to do, as for his one. Chechakov, a gambling friend, is even more of a rotten person, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, proficient in everything, and not suitable for big responsibilities. ”

Gong Qingxiu's words were very tactful. That's pretty obvious. No matter what the president does when he calls Zhang Zongchang and Chechakov over, he must keep one hand and not trust the two too much, especially the Russian.

Of course, Zhao Bei understood what Gong Qingxiu meant, and he couldn't even shake his jaw at the moment, but he didn't call Gong Qingxiu over for this matter, but for another purpose.

"Beautiful. You are in the three eastern provinces to show up the intelligence network, and there are a lot of North Koreans on the network, among these people. You must have someone who is particularly important and trusting, and now you can write a list and give it to me, and the center will have other appointments for these people. ”

Since the president ordered so, Gong Qingxiu did not hesitate, immediately picked up a pen and paper, wrote down more than 20 names, and included five of them. He deliberately underlined his name, and then put the paper on the desk in front of the president.

"These five people are the ones I trust the most. Not only do they speak Chinese, but they are loyal. Gong Qingxiu said.

"If they had to choose, loyal to our country, or loyal to their homeland, which side would they choose?" Zhao Bei took the note. One glance, then asked.

"My country." Gong Qingxiu did not hesitate.

Zhao Bei nodded with satisfaction, put the note into his military pocket, and then took out a letter from the drawer of the desk and handed it to Gong Qingxiu.

"This is the next major work of the intelligence headquarters of the three eastern provinces, which is quite complicated, and I have written it all in this letter. You take it back and study it carefully, and if you think there is something you don't understand, just send a telegram to the chamberlain's room, these jobs, the Military Intelligence Bureau does not understand, and it is useless for you to ask them. In addition, you must also pay close attention to the work in the direction of Outer Mongolia, and you must not relax because Russia is keeping a close eye on it, in Outer Mongolia. Second, you have to distinguish which one must be solved, and which one can be quoted. In any case, the formation of the intelligence network must be completed within three years, and the power of the local Chinese merchants, especially the Jin merchants, must be fully utilized, and it is imperative that they realize that the motherland stands behind them

"Yes, I understand Gong Qingxiu nodded, took the letter, and didn't read it. Just put it away close to your body.

"Alright. There is nothing else to do here, you can go back, it's not too early, rest well after you go back, the center still needs you to work for the country, and in the future, the work of the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Agency will not be able to do without your assistance

Zhao Bei stood up. was ready to send Gong Qingxiu out, but Gong Qingxiu looked a little speechless and stopped.

"President Junjian, the ministry still has a few words to say to the president.

According to intelligence a few days ago, someone recently contacted Feng Delin and Wu Junsheng in the three eastern provinces. By all indications. This, the person who contacted them was the person next to Xiong Chengji

"Oh? Is there such a thing?.

Zhao Bei was a little surprised, but quickly regained his composure. He was well aware of Xiong Chengji's intentions, but he didn't plan to take any tough measures against Xiong Chengji right now. We'll wait until the war is over.

"According to the opinion of the Ministry of Duties, although Feng Delin and Wu Junsheng are currently leading troops to be stationed in Liaoyang, Phoenix and other places, they have not directly participated in the war, and now Xiong Chengji's people are secretly in contact with them, for the sake of safety, it is better to transfer Feng Delin and Wu Junsheng's troops to the Yalu River Theater, one can eliminate hidden dangers, and the other can test Feng Delin and Wu Junsheng to see if they have reached any deal with Xiong Chengji's people

Gong Qingxiu's suggestion was very cautious, which made Zhao Bei hesitate for a while.

"At present, the war in Liaodong has not ended, Liaoyang and Phoenix are both transportation hubs, and they are also rear military station bases, and they really need to be garrisoned by heavy troops, and now transfer Feng Delin and Wu Junsheng and put on the strategy, if they are transferred to the Yalu River Theater, if they really have different intentions, it will put pressure on the front line."

Zhao Bei pondered for a moment, and quickly made up his mind, so he walked to the desk and picked up the microphone. Shake through the switchboard. Let the switchboard connect the telegraph room, take a telegram and send it to the General Staff Headquarters, and ask the General Staff to adjust the garrisons in Liaoyang and Phoenix, transfer the troops of Feng Delin and Wu Junsheng to Shenyang, and transfer the Shenyang garrison to Liaoyang and Phoenix to be stationed.

"Transferring Feng Delin and Wu Junsheng to Shenyang, if they really have different intentions, wouldn't the president be in danger?" Gong Qingxiu was a little surprised, he really didn't expect Zhao Bei to transfer Feng Delin and Wu Junsheng's troops to Shenyang.

Zhao Bei smiled faintly and said, "Qingxiu, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, this." The military movement will not begin until tomorrow morning at the earliest. By the time Feng Delin and Wu Junsheng's troops arrived in Shenyang, I had already left Shenyang, do you think I would stay in Shenyang for a few days? Tomorrow morning, after the talks with the Russian diplomatic envoy, I will leave immediately, here in Shenyang, there is Yang Du, I don't have to worry too much, now, I am more concerned about the decisive battle on the Liaodong Peninsula, once the tens of thousands of Japanese troops are annihilated, the overall situation will be decided. ”

Gong Qingxiu was relieved, so he didn't ask any more about what the Russian diplomatic envoy was doing. He didn't know. Don't want to ask, this is the basic quality of intelligence officers.

However, Zhao Bei suddenly remembered something at this time. So he asked Gong Qingxiu.

"Qingxiu, the Shenyang prisoner of war camp is now holding Japanese prisoners of war, can your military intelligence bureau bury some nails in it?.

Gong Qingxiu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Zhao Bei meant, the president was planning to recruit some spies among these Japanese prisoners of war.

"This. It's hard to say, we have never done this before, recruiting reliable "nails" from foreign prisoners of war. Not much for sure. But I can give it a try, there are people in every country who are dissatisfied with the government, and the key is to grasp their minds, and recently I am studying Western psychology, maybe I can try it from here

"That's good. It's up to you to take care of it, but quickly, and once the war is over, it's peace talks. The first thing about the peace talks was probably the exchange of prisoners of war. I'll give you a suggestion now, there is not a lot of harmony in Japan, and since the Meiji Restoration, the contradictions between the upper and lower classes of Japanese society have been very acute. Although Japan's industry is developing rapidly, this is the result of plundering the Japanese countryside, and only a handful of chaebols and aristocrats have benefited from it, and Japan's urban workers and rural peasants live in great difficulty, especially the Japanese peasants, whose lives are not much better than those of our peasants, but many soldiers in the Japanese army are from the countryside, and they are very well aware of the tragic situation in the Japanese countryside. The so-called "military plot" against Japan is the best policy to rely solely on military means, and all means, including revolutionary means, must be used at the same time. ”

Zhao Bei gave Gong Qingxiu some advice. And made a list of books for him, all of which were theoretical books in Europe that propagated radical ideas.

Zhao Bei has long been careful about this aspect, and now the social situation in China is also relatively complicated, if these radical books in Europe are widely dispersed in society, it will also cause some impact on the domestic intellectual class, so perhaps from now on, we should think of some ways to take precautions to deal with these radical ideas from Europe.
