Chapter 981: The Age of Madness
4 It's summer, the temperature is so high that even when you sit in a speeding car, you still feel the heat is unbearable, the windows are rolled down, and the wind is hot in the car. (.)
Poked his head out of the window and looked out for a moment, then Tian Jinfu immediately retracted his head back into the car.
"Lao Tian, what are you looking at?"
Jin Zhaokun, who was sitting next to Tian Jinfu, asked.
Tian Jinfu smiled and said, "The car that passed by just now was a little familiar, and I looked at it, as if it was the British sedan that Zhang Jizhi gave to Zhang Taiyan." β
"Zhang Taiyan? That "Republic of China Miheng Xiaozhang Binglin? He's in Kyori now? When did you return to Beijing? Didn't I hear that he followed Zhang Jizhi to the Huaihe construction site some time ago? Jin Zhaokun was a little surprised, Zhang Han, as the director of the Water Resources Department, had just been sent to Huai'er by the center some time ago to guide the flood control work, Zhang Taiyan followed Zhang Sai to the construction site, and now the flood season is not over, it stands to reason that he will not return to Beijing, so Jin Zhaokun is very strange.
"It seems to be Zhang Taiyan sitting in the car, but it's too dark, that is, the lights are flickering, I'm not sure. However, judging from the direction from which the car came, it seems that it came from the presidential palace, so I guess I just left the presidential palace. Tian Jinfu said.
I heard that he has now organized a "constitutional commemorative meeting" to commemorate the constitutional era, and what kind of "national constitutional movement" is needed to sign the Chinese version of "Magna Carta". I don't understand why the president has been holding back. β
"Zhang Taiyan is just a literati. How much of a storm can it make? The president kept him, which was also to show his magnanimity to the people, and by the way, to prove that there was also freedom of speech and association in the political era. β
Tian Jinfu said this, and did not continue this topic, after all, this is not what they care about now, in fact, the destination of his and Jin Zhaokun's trip is the Presidential Palace Commander's Hall, and they are going to visit the president.
Tian Jinfu and Jin Zhaokun are both brain figures of the Military Intelligence Bureau, although the specific division of labor is different, but after all, they are both intelligence chiefs and minions of the president, if you ask who is the cronies of Mr. President's cronies, Tian Jinfu and Jin Zhaokun must be in this list of cronies, and they are the highest.
The current Military Intelligence Bureau has become a huge organization, from the General Staff Headquarters of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to the markets and markets, and the three religions and nine streams, all of which have spies or eyeliners planted by the Military Intelligence Bureau; relying on this huge and dense intelligence network, the Commander-in-Chief can control every move of the entire country; it may be an exaggeration to say that it is the rule of spies, but it is also true that whistleblowers are everywhere, and foreign spies and domestic sabotage forces are basically in this net.
It is precisely for this reason that although the brain of the Military Intelligence Bureau is not in a high position, he has hands and eyes to the sky, and the power in his hands is quite amazing, and he even has a small armed force, which is small in number, but well-equipped, and has carried out many military missions at home and abroad.
The Military Intelligence Bureau is a double-edged sword, for Mr. President, this double-edged sword must be in the hands of the most reliable people, therefore, Tian Jinfu and Jin Zhaokun have been in charge of the work of the Military Intelligence Agency, other people are not as talented as them, but in the eyes of Mr. President, no one is more loyal than these two.
As the cronies of Mr. President's cronies, Tian Jinfu and Jin Zhaokun are also very clear about their status in Mr. President's mind, but the two do not dare to be pampered, they know their role, so every once in a while, the two will always go to the presidential palace to report to Mr. President. Sometimes it's alone, sometimes it's two people together, but in short, if they want to maintain their current position, the most important thing is to reassure them that Mr. President.
Now, Tian Jinfu and Jin Zhaokun are going to report to Mr. President, and as usual, they only left after dark, and before going to the Presidential Palace Commander's Hall, they also shook the phone in advance and learned that the president was working overtime.
The president is working overtime, Tian Jinfu and Jin Zhaokun are also working overtime, and recently, the affairs of the Military Intelligence Bureau have been busy, and the two often go to the commander's hall to ask for instructions.
The sedan quickly drove into the presidential palace and stopped in the warning area in front of the commander's hall, Tian Jinfu and Jin Zhaokun got out of the car and followed the adjutant of the chamber into the commander's hall. The lights were on in the president's office, and figures could be seen swaying on the curtains downstairs.
The swaying figure is the shadow cast by Zhao Bei on the curtain, he is pacing back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back, thinking about some work things, and when Tian Jinfu and Jin Zhaokun walked into the office, Zhao Bei stopped.
"You've come just in time. This is a telegram sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just now, there has been another coup d'Γ©tat on the Persian side, did your military intelligence bureau take action in advance? β
Zhao Bei pointed to a transcript of a telegram on his desk and asked Tian Jinfu and Jin Zhaokun, but the answer was negative.
"The CIA's Persian operation has not yet begun, and it is certainly not planned by us. Maybe it was planned by the Soviet Russia, and now the Soviet Russia and Britain are fighting quite the Persian side, but on the whole, the British forces have an absolute advantage, and as for the Soviet Russian side, that is, to take advantage of the Persian national sentiment, which is somewhat similar to our planning. β
Tian Jinfu picked up the telegram copy, looked at it, and then gave Zhao Bei a negative reply.
"Well, the operation of the Military Intelligence Agency is postponed for the time being, and when to act, wait for my order.
Now that the Persian coup d'Γ©tat is chaotic, it is still necessary to observe whether it is the hand of the Soviet Russian side or the British side, and then decide on the next move. In any case, Persia is an important part of China's strategy in Central and West Asia, and your military intelligence bureau must pay attention to the situation in Persia. β
Speaking of this, Zhao Bei sat down behind his desk, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, and handed it to Tian Jinfu.
"Just now, Zhang Taiyan came to me and sat down and brought me this piece of paper, with some names written on it, these are all from your Military Intelligence Bureau, right? Now, these people have been exposed, and if they should be withdrawn, you should withdraw immediately, and then send some new faces to infiltrate Zhang Taiyan's Chinese Studies Research Association, and be sure to find some people with a good foundation in Chinese studies, so as not to show their stuffing again. β
Tian Jinfu took the piece of paper, looked at it a few times, and was quite surprised, because the people on this list are basically the eyeliner of the political groups that the Military Intelligence Bureau planted in Zhang Taiyan's organization, although Zhao Bei did not take direct action against Zhang Taiyan's jumping up and down, but after all, the Military Intelligence Bureau planted some "nails" over there as surveillance, but now it seems that those people have obviously been exposed, and Zhang Taiyan actually came to Zhao Bei to ask for an explanation.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Taiyan still has the ability to counter-espionage. Is this what he came here for? He's coming
"It's more than a, he almost made a gesture with me. He said that I am the faint monarch of the Ming Dynasty, and your military intelligence bureau is the east and west factories of the Ming Dynasty. Insert it, just insert it, but the person who inserted it was actually a small thief, so he almost got a hat and wrote "Dongchang Fanzi" and put it on his head.
Zhao Bei is a little helpless, for a literati like Zhang Taiyan, he really can't be hard, this kind of person is very famous in society, put it aside, that is the leader of the clear stream, and Zhang Taiyan's Chinese Studies Research Association has gathered almost all the famous cultural people in the country, those people have no other skills, but this scolding without dirty words is quite powerful, and gathered together, it is simply a contemporary clear stream, not to mention, Zhang Taiyan also served as the leader of the United Front back then, and this political foundation is also quite stable.
Zhao Bei's politics also needs to be whitewashed, these literati can scold people freely, this is one of the whitewashing methods, Gao Ming is Gao Ming, but sometimes you must be prepared to be scolded.
In fact, Zhang Taiyan also proudly called his Chinese Studies Research Association the "Republic of China Restoration Society", which is also an allusion to the Ming Dynasty.
"Didn't Zhang Taiyan follow Zhang Sai to the Huaihe construction site? When did you come back? Tian Jinfu remembered the British sedan he saw on the road.
"When he came back five days ago, he said that Zhang Han thought he was in the way. Rush him back. But I always feel that he didn't come back to clear the details around him, and with his ability, I'm afraid that he won't be able to dig out so many of the eyes of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Zhao Bei admonished.
"Yes. We'll do it right away. Tian Jinfu nodded.
Seeing that Zhao Bei was a little distracted, Tian Jinfu knew that he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he took out the documents in his briefcase and put them on his desk.
"Here's a summary of last month's work, and I'd like to ask the president to take a look at it. As for Germany and Italy, we are still paying close attention, and, judging from the information sent back by the intelligence officers, there may be a large-scale operation on that side in the near future, how to cooperate. It still needs to be instructed by the president. β
"Oh? The fascists in Italy and Germany were ready to act so quickly? Italy is good to say, what is going on on the German side? β
Zhao Bei was a little curious, he already knew the intelligence of the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Agency and the fascist organizations in Italy and Germany, but he really didn't expect that the gang of people to be ready to take action to practice their theories so quickly, Italy is easy to say, after all, it is the source of the fascist movement, but on the German side, the situation is quite complicated, it is said that the "beer hall riots" will not be born so quickly, and now the French ** team has not occupied the Ruhr area to collect debts.
"Since the Entente formalized the amount of Germany's war reparations, the national sentiment in Germany has risen again, and the Nazi Party has taken the opportunity to become an influential party in the German state of Bavaria, and the party leader Adolf Hitler has also been received by the chancellor of Bavaria, and now the Nazi Party in Germany can justifiably express their views. In addition, the depreciation of the Deutschmark, which had fallen to 5,000 to 1 against the dollar, and the boiling of public discontent in Germany, led the Nazi Party to think that it might be an opportunity to expand its influence so that it could become a national political organization to participate in the next general election, or simply take the opportunity to overthrow the German Republic in one fell swoop. β
"They won't succeed. At present, the situation in Germany seems to be critical, but it has not really reached the edge of the precipice. However, the time has come for Italy to seize power, and it will be up to Mussolini to make up his mind to act. Zhao Bei evaluated the adventurous plan of the European fascists based on his historical experience.
"So, did the intelligence agents in Germany be instructed not to cooperate with the operation?" Tian Jinfu asked again.
"Nope. It is still necessary to cooperate with the action, but we must pay attention to protect the Nazi brain figure, that is, "Mister" and the group of cronies around him, those people will still be very useful in the future. However, it should also be noted that protection is protection, but it does not mean that they should be sent out of Germany, and in fact, if they go to prison for the failure of the operation, it will be very helpful to expand the influence of the Nazi Party, which is important to remind the informants. β
Although Tian Jinfu didn't quite understand Zhao Bei's strange arrangement, he also believed that Zhao Bei's decision was definitely the best decision, because the facts had proved Zhao Bei's unparalleled strategic vision.
"As for the Japanese cherry blossom party, how are you doing now?"
"Everything is going well, at present, the Japanese Sakura Society has assassinated several very influential Japanese civil leftists, the next target of the Sakura Society is some constitutional officials in the Japanese government, we have begun to snipe the killers of the Japanese Sakura Society, if necessary, can directly use sniper tactics to solve the target."
After the end of the discussion of the German issue, Zhao Bei changed the topic, since the Japanese Sakura Club got in direct contact with Zhao Bei through Wang Yitang, Zhao Bei has been paying close attention to the actions of the Sakura Club, and he also quickly expressed the "sincerity" of cooperation to the other party not only to provide funds to the Sakura Club, but also to provide weapons and personnel training to the Sakura Club, in fact, just now in the secret training camp of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the suburbs of Beijing, there are a group of outlaws from Japan receiving military training, including assassination, demolition, airborne, communications, Sniping, intelligence liaison and other special operations content.
Japan's Sakurakai is very straightforward, that is, to eliminate the constitutional forces in Japan, establish a militaristic order in Japan with the emperor as the emperor, and then use Japan's war machine to continue to expand in the Pacific to ensure Japan's survival.
Zhao Bei's purpose is also very clear, that is, to "help" the Japanese Sakura Society to realize their ideas, establish fascist rule in Japan as soon as possible, make Japan completely embark on the road of militarism, and drive Japan to continue to expand its influence in the Pacific until it provokes the United States and Britain and leads to war.
"Japan's militarism is inevitable, and we must also be vigilant against this, and what we have done is only to advance and speed up this process, whether we do it or not, Japan will go crazy, and the whole world will also go crazy, and this era of this century is an era of madness."
Zhao Bei sighed, he was right, this era is indeed a crazy era, and he is the catalyst, the only thing is to speed up the process of this crazy era, and then use this madness to completely destroy the old international order and establish a new international order that is very beneficial to China.
