Chapter 615: The Battle in the Shadows (Part I)

Shandong's intelligence agencies cannot compete with a country's intelligence agencies in terms of numbers and strength. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But when a warrior in the shadows rushes into the sun, it often means self-destruction. Shandong's intelligence agency, which has the help of the local garrison, occupies a favorable geographical position, and Fusang cannot take advantage of the confrontation between the two sides.

Of course, this kind of fight is not necessarily a bloody killing, and there are many more ways that are not bloodless, but more harmful. For example, Fusang forged a batch of reckless bills in an attempt to cause chaos in Shandong's financial order. However, Zhao Guanhou's level of paper money making and Jensen's work attitude are not comparable to Fusang. The level of counterfeit currency is far from the original Lu ticket, and it is not widely circulated among the people.

Before these reckless bills could be used up, a large number of high-quality counterfeit coins were found in Fuso, which caused turmoil in Fusang's financial order. It was not until the Ministry of Finance of Fuso urgently put pressure on the military to stop the counterfeit currency program that no new counterfeit money flowed in. And this is just a small scene of the two intelligence agencies in Shandong and Fusang.

Compared with Fusang's counterparts, Shandong's intelligence department obviously still smells of milk, and can only be regarded as a baby fighting strong man. But under Zhao Guanhou's training and teaching, this baby's combat power is really outrageously high, and it cannot be guessed with common sense.

In the field of killing, the Fuso people suffer even more. The new killing techniques and equipment mastered by Shandong's intelligence agencies, as well as the hidden and anti-intermediary methods, are not possessed by this era. Fuso lacks the means to deal with these techniques and tools, and must pay the price of life to fill this gap.

The price of every successful attack is the exposure and death of the spy personnel. This oriental espionage war is almost a province to shake a country, but in the end, it is still a country with a solid family background in theory, and it sheds more blood.

"Intelligence officers, not killer assassins, their role should be to lurk in their own positions and collect intelligence for the owner. These people don't need to be stunning, they don't even need to be able to use guns, they are not warriors and should not be wasted on such occasions. Therefore, the hand of the Fuso people is actually an evil way. ”

In the barracks, Zhao Guanhou pointed to a pension list in front of him and said unhurriedly. At his level, a hard-hearted attitude is almost a must. How many people have been sacrificed for his own foundation, how many orphans and widows have been added to Shandong in a short period of time, and how many more white-haired people have sent black-haired people, he actually can't care in his heart. To fight a war is to die, and even if you are not a warrior, you can't save it if you are affected by it.

There are bereavement benefits that should be given, and compensation that should be given, and the rest are all favors, not as duty. This conflict between the intelligence agencies is over for the time being, and the confrontation will be stopped until Fuso arranges for new forces to come in and send them to their deaths. Some of the banner people who live in Shandong also float, and King Qing invited Zhao Guanhou to go, which can be regarded as selling his old face and asking for a favor for his people.

Even if it wasn't Lang Zhong, he could see that the former golden glutton had little time, and then he touched the heads of filial piety and Baoci, with a kind look. and a few little guys holding his sleeves and calling grandpa, looking like the whole family was happy, and Zhao Guanhou couldn't refuse his request. Although the words should be said, Yuqing's mood will definitely not be good, Zhao Guanhou coaxes her at home, and if she tells the truth, she can only tell her chief of staff.

"The Fuso people are not stupid, they are engaged in intelligence work, and they are actually very set. Seek truth from facts, they are in the East, and intelligence work is better than Tieler. Such a spelling is not very in line with the habits of the Fusang people, intelligence warfare is not a contest, and it is not a competition to kill the intelligence personnel on the opposite side first. The people of Fusang also understand this, and what is the purpose of such a killing method? ”

"Cover. On the battlefield, with meaningless shelling or platoon guns, a large amount of ammunition is consumed, with only one purpose, to cover up their true intentions. The sacrifice of these outcasts should be for the same purpose, to cover the people they really want to cover. When the attention of the intelligence agencies is used to counter-assassination and anti-sabotage, there will be flaws in other aspects, and that is their chance. ”

Ryanstein calmly analyzed, although he was not from an intelligence agency, but in the General Staff of the Imperial Army, dealing with people in this agency was not a day or two, and these twists and turns could not be hidden from his eyes.

"Among us, there are still chess pieces of the Fuso people, and at the same time, most of the intelligence agencies of Fuso are conceiving a big game of chess. In order to divert attention, he sacrificed some of his chess pieces to hide his true intentions. It seems that if this plan is successful, the damage will be greater than the combined number of attacks. ”

Zhao Guanhou snorted coldly, "Then let's see, when the time comes, whether his ability is great, or my ability is great." Shandong has me, the marshal, you, the chief of staff, a few Fusang devils, and you still want to turn the sky upside down? Those Prussian officers, when they came, didn't they think they were invincible in the world, but now, they are still honest! ”

Reinstein reciprocated with a burst of laughter: "Prussian officer? These wastes, they are not qualified to be recognized by me as officers, in my eyes, they can only be regarded as: salted fish! It is true that the troops have also been infiltrated by the Fuso people, but the level is not high, and it is still within the acceptable range. These Fuso people, they are like nasty fleas, sooner or later, let them understand that fleas are always just fleas. ”

Although it was a military advisory group sent for the purpose of controlling the command of the Shandong Army, its level and quality could not be compared with that of the Prussian advisers when the Six Towns of Beiyang were first established.

At present, the emperor is bent on preparing for war, and the elite generals and colonels must stay in the country and stand by. Those who came to Shandong to serve as officers were naturally not first-rate Prussians, not even second-rate. Third- and fourth-rate officers, whether they have family backgrounds or military literacy, can't suppress Reinstein.

In the past few years in Shandong, there have been almost 2,000 mercenaries from Songjiang and Shandong, and mercenaries under Ryanstein. These are all old fritters that he single-handedly selected, and he does not take these descendants from Prussia into account at all. Especially when the other party came, he wanted to pick peaches, and he was even more angry. Fighting openly and secretly a few times, making them disgraced, Reinstein treats these compatriots in his own unique way: dueling.

During those days, Ryan Stein's life was basically filled with duels. From swords to pistols and finally bread smeared with germs, he could think of several duel props that would leave all his opponents in disarray. At present, these Prussian army officers are uniformly placed in the Shaanxi Army, which is known as the second most powerful combat unit in Shandong, as instructors and chief officers, and other units cannot intervene at all.

These men from the land of Guanzhong, although their cultural level has been greatly improved after intensive training, they still retain the characteristics of swordsmen in their bones. Bloody bravery, plus unruly. A group of officers who can only conduct regular military discipline to manage these people are congenitally incompatible, and only those who can control the army can have ghosts.

So on the surface, Zhao Guanhou let go of the Prussian military advisers and fully trusted, but in fact he threw them on a brazier and added firewood underneath.

After the two laughed for a while, Ryan Stein said, "We don't need to care about those salted fish, I care more about Little Leeman's fleet." Four iron-ribbed wood-hulled cruisers, four! Do you know what that means? If we ......"

"Don't dream. We have a total of two steam warships, Baoshun can't be counted at all, and the others are not even as good as Baoshun, let alone mention. In terms of the level of operation, it is people who are pressing us. Isn't it bad luck to touch it like this? The cost of our store is too small to do this big business. Besides, I have two iron-ribbed wooden shells on hand, and I can rely on Sister Jin Ying's relationship to mess around in the capital, and I won't give it to me alive or dead. But if there are really six iron-ribbed wooden hulls, most of them will be taken away by the Admiralty. In this world, the navy is out of Fujian, and the navy and Beiyang have never been of the same mind. The president has always been thinking about making a fleet that is completely northern. When I arrive, won't I make a wedding dress for someone else? ”

Reinstein was confident: "If it's your fleet, of course, it will be owned by the Admiralty, but if it's a mercenary fleet, will the president get enough for the hiring?" Our mercenaries have always been very expensive, and the navy's fees are even higher. We, as a rule, are priced by the gun......"

"This way of calculating remuneration makes hiring the navy sound more like another old industry. I said, what's the use of you getting a navy? Even Shandong's current fleet is enough to say that it is invincible at home. Don't look at me and say that the navy of the world is out of Fujian, but if it really goes against the Fujian navy, we may not suffer. Besides, far away, no one can reach anyone. His Fujian Navy has disabled the Shandong Navy, can he still go ashore to take my place? ”

"I don't like the feeling of being stuck in my throat. The Fuso Navy can now jam our throats, this taste, it's very uncomfortable. Reinstein's face turned serious again

"Besides, this war, whatever the beginning, will inevitably end in the defeat of Prussia. His Majesty's ambitions did not match the strength of Prussia, and if I could, my ideals could only be realized in Shandong. Do you think that the great Earl Ryanstein would tolerate the side he plays for being choked by the throat? ”

"Okay...... In this matter, we slowly calculated, in the end, Prussia was going to use Shandong as a supply port. I have stored thousands of tons of fine anthracite coal for him, as well as food and medicine, which are prepared for his Seawolf fleet. No matter how good the wolf is, he will come back to sleep, and when that time comes, let's talk about it. ”

"I also set out a plan for the Ministry of Defence, a plan that would cost the people of Albion. Even if the war is going to be lost, I have to show them how great the Prussian Empire is. This can be regarded as my return to the motherland, and after that, everyone will have nothing to do with it. But what are you going to do with Hannah? ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head and pointed to the list on the table. "Many of these people are my hardcore followers, no matter what I want them to do, even if they let them strip their own sisters naked and send them to my bed, they will not hesitate to carry it out. If you want them to die, you will never frown, this is what our country calls the dead. What should they do if they knew that when they died, I would only give money but not be sad? In short, at this point, it is inevitable that you will occasionally have to lose your conscience. Hannah, I owe her...... Maybe in this life, she won't have a child for me. However, I can't help it, who asked me to be a two-river patrol, when a monk hits the clock for a day, I have to do things well. ”

With a sigh of relief, he pulled up Ryan Stein and walked outside, "Look at the training, take a breath inside, and train the muscles and bones outside." Shandong disaster relief, borrowing, buying machinery, and building roads are all in one breath. If you are angry, you have spirit, but you are invulnerable, and it is not a matter if you are beaten and do not fight back. Fists, feet, knives and guns are a means of hurting people, it depends on your ability, let me see, if our Lu army is against foreign soldiers in the future, whether it is sure that it will be two against one. ”

Ryanstein tilted his head and asked, "Who's two, who's one?" If this question is not clearly explained, let's have a duel. Vodka with arsenic or bread coated with poison, the choice is yours! ”

The autumn, which lasted for four years, was destined to be not peaceful. The unemployment frenzy has swept through several provinces, and economists have struggled to explain in the newspapers that all this is just temporary overcapacity, and that it is necessary to trust the market, believe in the strong self-adjustment ability, and as long as the current crisis is over, everything will be fine. I talked about the big truth that rotten meat doesn't go, and good meat doesn't grow. Then he went to get a pen fee, and then went to the hall to have a good time.

The situation is very good, the future is bright, the road is tortuous, as long as you go on, you can reach the other side of happiness. However, the workers, peasants, and unemployed who are regarded by scholars as rotten meat do not see where their goals are. can only wander in the streets and alleys, in the market and fields, trying to survive.

In Beizhili, a group of horse thieves is growing stronger, although it has not broken through the important town, but the county seat has also been opened several times. These people don't take the city, they leave when the city is broken, and the meat tickets they catch are not much, it seems that they are just rogues. However, when the magistrate of Zhili mentioned them, they were all secretive, and only one Dao Yin, who had drunk too much, leaked the secrets

"Bandits? Bandit x! Both regiments were swallowed, and the crippled teams added up to close to two brigades, not well, this is the second white wolf! There are not many meat tickets, but there are county governors and regiment leaders in them! Henan makes a white wolf, Zhili makes a black seven, after this reco-union, it doesn't look good, and this day is still not passing? ”

Relatively speaking, the days in Shandong can be regarded as paradise. A large number of goods flowed into Shandong from all over the country, and the vast number of businessmen with magical powers got information from certain channels, and it seemed that Zhao Guanshuai wanted to be the head of the wrongs and throw a sum of money out to do good deeds.

If you don't do this kind of business, you are really stupid, and you would rather take risks, and some people will transport grain, cotton, cloth, and even medicinal herbs from the provinces to Shandong, even those extremely ferocious killings and attacks have not stopped their pace.

Refugees have changed from a chaotic state to a controlled state, and each city has set up a special refugee settlement. Tents are distributed by the government to provide shelter for refugees, and people enter the refugee areas regularly, disinfect them, and do basic cleaning to prevent the spread of the plague. The porridge, which is thin but barely enough to hang its life, will be delivered on time, and if someone is sick, it will be picked up by the government for treatment.

Shandong's bureaucratic system, after several rectifications, is far less efficient than in the pre-Jin era. Many things that were unthinkable in the past can always be done now. When night falls, refugees gather to talk, most of them are actually very strange to each other, but in a new environment, the state of mind of the same people who have fallen from the end of the world makes it easy for each other to identify with each other, and it is far easier to communicate with each other than outsiders.

A few words of vernacular, or a close area, can make strangers quickly enthusiastic. Some people who are obviously more flexible than others began to talk among the refugees, "This Shandong flower world is full of gold, but just give us this, this is to use us as livestock." This Zhao Guanhou is not a thing."

"Know why we're mixed up like this? It's not his little wife who runs a factory and collapses our factory, and Lu Bu sells it to us, and we can't sell our own cloth. ”

"You see, what do the people of Shandong eat, and what do we eat? They buy grain at the same price as we buy grain, and they are all people, is there a reason for that? ”

"Let me tell you, this Zhao Guanhou is the least human, even his second sister-in-law is said to have been occupied by him, and he was forced to divorce his second brother......"

"Brother, you have to pay attention when you check your body, your daughter is so smart, you have to hide it, if you want the officials here to see it, I'm afraid you will send soldiers to rob people and give them to Zhao Guanshuai to try. I heard that the eldest girl who was harmed by him has to be judged by hundreds. The man also paid attention, he saw that you were in good health, so he took you away, took your internal organs, and sold them to foreign doctors for experiments. ”

There were also some people who began to spread the desperate news among the crowd that the porridge could only be given until a certain day, and then they would be left to fend for themselves. This place of residence is actually a dungeon, and you can't leave it if you want to. If you want to survive, the only way is to fight with your own hands. (To be continued.) )
