The city gate is on fire, and the fish in the pond are affected!

Since ancient times, there has been such a sentence, this sentence is extremely accurate, at least for Fang Weiguo, this is undoubtedly the truth, for the past three days, he has been locked up in this room with walls on all sides, during which he asked the doorman countless times through the door "why". No pop-up window on the net, fast update //

But the guard was like a statue, and ignored him, and for three days no one spoke to him, no one paid attention to him, no one said a word to him, and certainly no one told him why.

On the fourth day, Fang Weiguo was about to go crazy, he dropped the white-flour steamed buns that used to be able to eat five in one meal, kicked away the dishes full of vegetables, and finally when the small iron window on the iron door was opened, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the guards outside the door and shouted.

"Come, sir, I have something to say! Just go! ”

The guard gave him a blank look, and then closed the small iron door again, all of which only made Fang Weiguo so angry that he kicked the iron door with his foot and scolded.

"your grandma, why should you keep Lao Tzu in charge, Lao Tzu violated the royal law of that family?"

Unconsciously, he scolded from morning to night, and still no one paid attention to him, everything in the house that could be destroyed by him had already been destroyed by him, but no matter how he fell, how he tore, how he shouted, the guards outside the door still did not move, did not speak.

The guards have long been accustomed to all this, for the simple reason that this is the normal interrogation procedure of the intelligence department of the General Staff, the purpose of which is to use this to discourage the will of the subject of the interrogation in order to obtain information, and the intelligence officer will decide the length of this "silence" according to the subject's performance.

Fang Weiguo didn't know about all this, and finally his voice was hoarse, his eyes were red, his feet were sore, and his hands were broken. People, naturally, are also honest, finally. He threw himself on the torn quilt and looked at the roof for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence in a dry voice.

"Is there anybody...... Give me some water to drink! ”

Soldiers outside the house opened the small iron door. He glanced inside, then left, and after a while, he took a military kettle and threw it at him from the window. Fang Weiguo hurriedly took a few sips, and took this opportunity to lie down by the window and say to the guards.

"Brother, could you please find a chief in charge? Please, please......"

The guard glanced at him, still not speaking, after he had finished drinking his water. Once again, the bars were closed.

This time. Fang Weiguo was completely desperate.

"What exactly did I do wrong? Why can't I remember what mistakes I made? ……”

Next, Fang Weiguo naturally thought endlessly, thinking about it, and gradually fell asleep......

When he was sleeping happily, he felt that someone was stabbing him, and he reluctantly opened his eyes. But he saw two guards coming in the house.

"What are you going to do?"

"Come with us, don't talk!"

In the dark. Two figures in a trance walked towards the door with him on his left and right, and Fang Weiguo shook his groggy head with a must. But he was still unconscious, until he was carried up the stairs by two people through the corridor, and after a few more turns, he came to a room.

"You may be seated!"

As soon as he entered the room, when Fang Weiguo had just woken up a little, an extremely indifferent voice came into his ears, and then he saw a chair in front of him, and there was a table in front of the chair, and behind the table sat a captain, the captain sat on the chair, looking at him and seemed to be laughing.

"Hello sir!"

Although it is said that he has been wronged, but in the army, the soldier has always had a kind of obedience and respect for the officer from the bones, at this time, when he sees the commander, he still instinctively stands up and salutes, which is the result of long-term training, and it is because of this that the officer will be called the soul of the army. …,

Seeing Fang Weiguo's reaction, the captain seemed to understand some truth, and understood why the Russian rebels killed those "reactionary officers" first, even those high-ranking sergeants with higher prestige, when the army was in turmoil, and their purpose was to disintegrate an army by killing the officers and quickly complete the control of the army.

"Sit down!"

The captain squeezed a smile out of his face, but his voice remained cold. When Fang Weiguo sat down, he saw the captain striking a match and then lighting a cigarette.

"Smoking?"

The captain stood up, walked around the table and took a step forward, opening the cigarette case and reaching out in front of Fang Weiguo.

"Thank you, sir!"

Fang Weiguo, who hadn't smoked for four days, hurriedly took one, and the captain took the initiative to light a cigarette for him.

"Your name is Fang Weiguo, right?"

"Back to the Chief's ......"

Just as he was about to stand up to answer, the captain pressed Wei Guo's shoulder below.

"Let's sit here and answer, don't be so formal, just ask you to know something, don't worry."

At this time, the captain's voice was no longer as cold as before, but revealed a little closeness.

"Yes, yes, sir."

"Shaanxi, Mizhi people."

“……”

"Mizhi is a good place, people in Shaanxi say that Mizhi produces beautiful women, and Li Zicheng is also a Mizhi person......"

Then Fang Weiguo heard this chief talking to him about rice fat, some of which even he didn't know about rice fat, which couldn't help but make him admire this chief.

"Served that year?"

Suddenly, the captain, who was originally talking about rice fat, asked casually.

"Eleven years of the Empire!"

"Oh, that's a veteran......"

In the ensuing Q&A, Fang Weiguo, who was smoking a cigarette, did not notice that when the captain was talking to him, he was always observing him, observing the changes in his facial details and expressions.

"According to your report, you witnessed the shooting of an officer by the Russian rebels?"

"Yes, yes, sir."

"Well, tell me everything you see! Don't miss anything! ”

The chief ordered this, Fang Weiguo naturally told everything he saw in great detail, without concealing anything, and there was no need to hide anything from the facts.

“…… Then, when I saw the rebels coming towards me, I took my gun, well, first loaded it, and then I loaded my rifle with a bayonet, while it was loaded. The Russians walked near the boundary marker! ”

As he spoke, the captain lit a cigarette for Fang Weiguo while Fang Weiguo was smoking. He said very casually.

"In the report, you mentioned that they talked to you, what did they say?"

"Back to the Chief',......"

Since the chief needs to know. Fang Weiguo replied naturally, and occasionally when he couldn't remember, the captain asked him to think about it again.

"Think about it, don't miss anything!"

“…… When I arrived, my platoon commander rushed over with people. The Russian is gone, sir......"

As he spoke, Fang Weiguo raised his head, looked at the chief and asked.

"That'...... What is that comrade! ”

"Oh, this, like brothers, are you their comrade?"

"Same as brothers?"

Fang Weiguo thought for a moment, shook his head and said.

"They are a rebel party of thieves!"

"Alright. You go down first! ”

When the captain's voice fell. The two guards walked in and dragged Fang Weiguo out the door before he could understand what was going on.

The captain, who had been sitting at the table, after gathering his thoughts for a moment, carefully read the conversation written down by the recorder several times, and signed a note on another piece of paper. …,

The door opened again.

Just when Fang Weiguo fell asleep again. The door was opened, unlike before. This time, the lights came on. The lamp was at least two hundred watts, and it only illuminated Fang Weiguo, who had just fallen asleep, hurriedly blocked his eyes with his hand, and only then did he see clearly that someone walked in, and it was still the same guard.

"Fang Weiguo, okay, you can go out!"

"Get out?"

Fang Weiguo, who had not yet come back to his senses, looked at this guard, as if he couldn't figure out what was going on.

"What, didn't you live enough? Want to stay a few more days? ”

The guard, who was originally unsmiling, joked with him at this time, and when he heard that he wanted to stay for a few days, Fang Weiguo hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving......"

However, he didn't leave immediately, before he left, he was taken to another room, there was someone standing in the room, it was an acquaintance, it was the captain, as soon as he saw the captain, Fang Weiguo showed a smile on his face.

"Fang Weiguo's superior soldier!"

"Yes!"

As if reacting instinctively, Fang Weiguo hurriedly straightened up, and only then did he notice that this captain was different from before - he was wearing a military cap.

After he stood upright, the captain took out a piece of paper and looked at Fang Weiguo, who was standing upright.

"Fang Weiguo, male, 20 years old, from Mizhi, Shaanxi Province, senior soldier of the 5th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 17th Regiment of the Imperial Chinese Imperial Guards Army, the soldier faithfully performed his duties in the defense of the national border, fearless of danger, bravely defended the territory from violation, and specially recorded a third-class meritorious service, according to the authority granted by His Majesty the Emperor, Fang Weiguo was specially promoted to the rank of corporal of the Royal Guards Army, and transferred to the 216th Infantry Division of the Royal Guards Army......"

Before he finished reading, Fang Weiguo's whole person was blinded, he didn't know what was going on at all, he only knew that this was a commendation order, he made military merits, and was promoted to corporal of the army, and was even transferred to the army field unit, not the "patrol".

"Corporal Fang Weiguo, congratulations!"

"Chief, sir......"

The captain looked at Fang Weiguo, who had not yet come to his senses, and added after congratulating him.

"You've never been here, can you remember?"

Haven't been here?

"Yes, sir!"

"Okay, this is the order and commendation, you go directly to the new unit, as for your personal belongings, when you get to the new unit, I will send you ......"

Looking at the back of Corporal Fang Weiguo, who had just been promoted, the captain lit a cigarette, and after thinking for a while, he walked to the window, raised his head, and looked at the starry sky outside the window, but finally he let out a long sigh, and there seemed to be other meanings in that long sigh.

“…… According to the information we have so far, there are now riots in many places in the Far East, and the rioters, after overthrowing the regime, have established and controlled new local powers, and in the process there are also a large number of local officials cooperating with them, and at the same time, according to the reports of intelligence officers and border guards, in a small number of armies, there are also similar rebellions in Europe and Russia, in which soldiers shoot officers at the instigation of the insurgents. Russia will soon be completely swept away by the riots......"

In the "Royal Suite" on the sixth floor of the Far Eastern International Hotel in Harbin, an officer was bowing respectfully. Reporting to His Majesty standing by the window, this information was collected by the intelligence department of the First War Zone.

The first theater of operations, which is a division of military districts inherited from the era of the Liberation Army. The first theater was actually the former Kwantung region and the current Tohoku region, and the purpose of establishing the theater system in the early days of the empire was to strengthen wartime management, peacetime troop mobilization, strategic defense, and other needs. In fact, however, although the theater system has always existed, in reality, the theater is nothing more than a fictitious institution, because the commander of the theater has no jurisdiction over the troops in peacetime. It is only after the outbreak of war that His Majesty the Emperor appoints a theater commander, and the general staff will also send a staff team to the theater staff, so that the theater command will have the right to command the troops. …,

But over the past few years, the First Theater of Operations, which is responsible for the defense of the Northeast, has actually been weakened to some extent, and earlier it was used to house the "Volunteers" reserve officers. Later, with the retirement of a large number of officers. As a result, this organization has long been a fictitious organization, and it was not until two years ago, out of the need to send an expeditionary force in the future, that the First Theater of Operations changed from a "fictitious institution" to become the largest concentration of barracks in the country. More than 100 divisions and more than 2 million troops gathered here. Over the past two years, these units have received the most rigorous training for cold combat. A large number of unsuitable weapons and personal equipment have been eliminated, and new types of cold-proof clothing and boots have been equipped with the troops, and even all kinds of new heating equipment have been installed along with the automobiles.

And now, the reason why Chen Moran came here is precisely to inspect this army before the final mobilization, and at the same time consolidate the morale of the army, through contact with these officers and soldiers, tell them the fact that the emperor will always be their most trustworthy person, and similarly, for them, the emperor is also extremely trusted.

Of course, all this is not just a superficial work, but a routine and routine inspection, and at the same time, it is necessary to inspect the industrial preparations of the Northeast region to determine whether the industry of the Northeast region can provide sufficient material supplies for the war in the future.

In short, this trip to the Northeast is far more important than any trip to the Northeast, it can be said that this trip to the Northeast is simply a pre-war test, but the outside world is completely ignorant of this, only a very small number of officers know the inside story of it, just like Chen Youguo, who is making a report, and many regional intelligence officers, he was born in the Royal Guard, in fact, that is, the palace guard officer, for China, this may be a tradition, These palace guards are often the best young officers in the military academy, and after graduation, they enter the army after serving in the royal guard for two years, and then their career as an officer is often smoother, and among these people, only those who have served by the emperor's side, the best officers will enter the intelligence department of the general staff, and after receiving a certain amount of training, will become the military intelligence officer in a certain area, only a very few people know that they are responsible for collecting information about the imaginary enemy at the same time, It is also responsible for gathering intelligence within the army.

"Well, that's to be expected,"

Turning around, Chen Moran had a kind smile on his face.

"How? Zuomin, all these years, everything is still used to in Harbin! You must be no problem, your wife, if I remember correctly, she is a top student of Zhejiang Women's University, and when you got married, the queen also sent a congratulatory gift! ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Zixian is used to being here now, she is now a teacher at Harbin No. 3 Girls' High School......"

Listening to His Majesty's inquiry, Chen Youguo's heart was excited, he didn't expect that after leaving the palace for seven years, His Majesty still remembered him, not only remembering him, but even remembering his family.

"Zuomin, in the past, people said that this Northeast is just a bitter cold place outside the Guan, and in the past in the Manchu Dynasty, there was even a crime of exile in Heilongjiang, you are from Zhejiang, what do you think of the Northeast?"

"Back to Your Majesty,"

As soon as the words were spoken, Chen Youguo spit out a sentence.

"The most fertile place in the world is none other than the Northeast, and the widest place in the world is none other than Siberia!"

During the seven years in Harbin, he personally rode a horse to inspect the entire Northeast, not only that, but he even left his newborn son when he first arrived in the Northeast, and as a traveler, along the entire Siberian Railway, he carried out a "staff trip", and that "staff trip" can be said to be the right time, because the fortresses built by Russia along the Siberian area are under construction, and he always takes advantage of various opportunities during his travels. After contacting those fortresses under construction, after the end of the two-year "staff trip," he handed over to the General Staff a travel memo of up to 1.2 million words, which was actually an extremely detailed intelligence and operational outline, and it can be said that he was the intelligence officer in the whole of China who knew Siberia and the main railway artery best, and it was precisely for this reason that after Chen Moran came to Harbin this time, he would be named to accompany him throughout the whole process. Not only because he was an intelligence officer in the 1st Theater of Operations, but also because he was also an officer who knew the Far East and Siberia best.

Nodding approvingly, Chen Moran greatly appreciated Chen Youguo's insight, how many people in this era can realize that Siberia may become the life of the empire in the future?

There are not a few people!

Russia......

Let's hope that when it all begins, Russia will become history!
