471: China-Burundi Agreement
After receiving Lenin's conditions, Huang Yitao immediately agreed to Lenin's request without hesitation, and in order to prevent Lenin from regretting it afterwards and refusing to admit it, Huang Yitao asked to sign a secret agreement with Lenin in the name of the Chinese Empire.

And Lenin has no initiative at this time, the internal contradictions are gradually intensifying, which makes Lenin very headache, now the Tsarist government has not fallen, they themselves will split first, this is not a good phenomenon, and once Tsarist Russia falls, then this split will seriously affect the formation of the new state.
And if you want to completely change this, only one person can stand up and suppress the other factions with a tough posture, or even annex and eliminate them.
Lenin did not want to be the party that was annexed, eliminated, and assimilated, he wanted to unite the other parties, to make the Bolshevik Party the ruling party of the new Russia, and he wanted to make the red red flag all over Russia, and he wanted the whole world to tremble when he saw this red red flag.
On February 17, 1909, the two sides secretly signed the "Sino-Burundi Aid Agreement" in Berlin, Germany, and Huang Yitao's disguised Zhongtian Junying signed the agreement on behalf of the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of State Security of the Chinese Empire, and the Bolshevik Party represented by Lenin.
The duties of the parties were set out in the agreement and, at Lenin's request, a confidentiality agreement was added, the contents of which were not to be disclosed by anyone as long as the parties did not breach the contract.
Of course, if the other side desperately defaults on this agreement, the Bolshevik Party headed by Lenin will certainly suffer a serious blow, but as long as Lenin misses this agreement signed by the Japanese in the name of the Chinese Empire, then the blow to the Japanese in the international community will also be heavy.
The agreement also stipulated that the weapons and equipment and aid funds were to be made before May 30, 1909, and that the place of delivery would be negotiated separately, and Lenin preferred to make the deal in St. Petersburg, and then he would approach the possibility of sending the Bolsheviks to St. Petersburg secretly, and if it could be successful, he would set the place of the deal, and if it failed, he would choose another place to trade.
Chinese Empire, Zhongjing Imperial Palace.
From making a decision to completing the task, it took only four days, and everyone was satisfied with the speed. After receiving the telegram that the mission was completed, Ma Sanru immediately ordered Huang Yitao to personally carry the original agreement and return to China secretly. From now on, Huang Yitao will not appear abroad, and he will also become an internal spy agent.
This is the protection of Huang Yitao himself, as well as the protection of other foreign intelligence personnel of the Intelligence Bureau, and under normal circumstances, all the spy personnel who participated in the larger plan will be transferred out of the local area after completing this mission, regardless of whether they succeed or not. If the mission level is slightly lower, they will be transferred to other continents to continue their activities, and those with a higher mission level will be directly transferred back to China.
"Lenin made several demands, first, we need to give him 10,000 rifles with 1 million bullets, and 50 Maxim heavy machine guns with 500,000 bullets. Secondly, we will give him £3 million to fund his activities. Thirdly, we need to give Lenin fifty 60 mortars and five thousand shells. Fourthly, if the weapons and equipment in the later period are not enough to be used, we must agree to Lenin's demand for purchase, but the price can only be half of the market price. Fifth, after the armistice, we must provide them with industrial equipment, and the specific list of equipment will be discussed when the armistice is held. Sixth, we need to hand over the infantry drill code to Lenin in order to strengthen them and ensure that the plan can be successful. Seventh, the support must be delivered by 30 May, with the first £1 million to be handed over to them within a month, with the rest along with the weaponry. Eighth, the two sides are prohibited from abolishing this agreement on the premise that there is no breach of contract. Ma Sanru said the contents of the agreement word for word: "I have ordered our spy personnel to secretly return to China, and they will be able to arrive in Zhongjing in about 20 days." ”
"Tsk, if this treaty is leaked, I'm afraid there will be many people who will scold me and start betraying the country, right?" Wang Sirui smiled and couldn't help laughing at himself.
In the past, he still didn't understand why the state continued to aid some poor countries abroad, giving weapons, equipment, funds, and everything that could be given to them, and these things could not even recover the principal, but the state still continued to give without hesitation.
Now Wang Sirui has finally realized that the purpose of the current large-scale military expansion in China is to detonate the military competition in Asia, so as to drive the European side and accelerate the military competition that was originally going on slowly.
The Chinese Empire is not a rich country, at least for now, after the introduction of private capital, the state capital is gradually withdrawing, and the deadline for halving taxes next year is approaching, and they have taken advantage of this opportunity to complete the excess.
Coupled with the war between China and Russia, more than half of the Chinese Empire's annual budget was spent on the war, and in this case, it seemed irrational to spend a sum of five million pounds to support other countries, and besides, they were not a country.
"In fact, we are already in an invincible position, our spy personnel went to contact Lenin in the name of the Japanese, if Lenin's needs cannot be met at that time, it cannot be ruled out that Lenin will leak out the behind-the-scenes of the incident, on the surface, we are also a victim, and the person who signed the agreement does not exist at all in our Ministry of Security, we took advantage of Lenin's disadvantage of not knowing our internal knowledge, and acted in this regard." Ma Sanru continued to explain.
The requirements were put forward by Wang Sirui, and the bottom line of the conditions was also proposed by Wang Sirui, and the specific operation was the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Bureau under Ma Sanru, and the use of the Japanese was also prepared by Ma Sanru in advance, and the pot could be easily thrown to the Japanese.
"It's okay!" Wang Sirui waved his hand, "I'm just joking, it is still very beneficial for us to be able to stop this war, and the price of five million pounds is not high." You will be responsible for the subsequent handover and ensure that this batch of equipment can be safely delivered to Lenin. ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! Ma Sanru nodded, there is no need to give too many instructions, the security department has not done this kind of thing once or twice, they know very well how to operate each link.
As for the infantry drill code or something, the Ministry of Security has a ready-made infantry drill code, this infantry drill code is specially used for foreign trade, in fact, it is the castrated version used by the troops, or in other words, in addition to the appearance of the same, there are many mistakes in it.
For example, the current core squad and platoon tactics of the Royal Army do not appear in this infantry drill code, and are replaced by infantry assault tactics, that is, a company in front is responsible for charging, and a company is arranged in the back to look for opportunities to shoot cold guns, and at the same time bear the obligation of covering the charging troops.
The troops responsible for the charge do not care about anything, they only need to rush to the enemy's defense line as soon as possible, as long as the defense line is disturbed, the endless force behind will follow.
It seems true, but in reality? It is simply impossible for the covering troops to stay out of the range of the defenders, because then they will also lose the role of cover. Therefore, the covering troops can only move forward, and in this way, the covering troops also enter the strike range of machine guns, rifles and other equipment, so that the troops charging in front are actually live targets.
Of course, this is only in the face of the Chinese Empire, which is equipped with a large number of automatic equipment, if the defenders on the opposite side are the Russian army, the lethality of this set of tactics is still very large, the Russians do not have too many heavy weapons, and there is no automatic firepower, as long as the enemy covers in place, it is not a trouble to rush to the position.
"How's the polls going?" Wang Sirui continued to ask.
At present, there is a public opinion survey in the country, which is divided into two parts, one is a public opinion survey conducted by the Imperial Chancellery, and the main purpose is to investigate the satisfaction and trust of the people under the rule of the enemy country. This is mainly the responsibility of the local county governments, and 1,000 people from each county are selected to make inquiries and then assembled. For the results of this survey, Wang Sirui does not have much hope, the reason, everyone knows.
The other part is a secret investigation conducted by the Ministry of Security, they will not identify themselves, they will pretend to be ordinary people or businessmen, in various places, in various environments, through chatting to knock on the side, and finally summarize, this investigation results are what Wang Sirui really likes.
Although the monetary reform system has been introduced and has achieved good results, silver and gold are now largely absent from the empire and replaced by a new imperial currency. However, in order to guard against inflation, the empire printed coins in a one-to-one ratio, and the huge cost of the war, Wang Sirui planned to implement a war bond as a new currency.
But the war bond is obviously more difficult than the currency reform, because this is simply the operation of the empty glove white wolf, whether it is successful or not, it depends entirely on the degree of trust of the people in the government, if everyone trusts, then it is naturally not a problem, but if everyone does not trust, it will cause serious consequences, and the most tragic consequence is that the empire's economy will collapse at that time.
Therefore, on the eve of the issuance of war bonds, public opinion polls will be particularly important, which will determine whether it will succeed and whether the economy of the enemy country will suffer.
