With the generator, Yang Qiu was finally able to get rid of the nasty smell of kerosene.

Because of the need to ensure safety, the two windows were blocked by a thick black cloth. In the dead of night, explosions can be vaguely heard dozens of kilometers away, although everyone is trying to gain time to adjust, but the local war has not stopped, judging from the recent statistics on the table, the Wehrmacht is not as easy as the situation in the offensive, and the Japanese army is still very tenacious. In particular, during the attack on the Dagushan Fort, due to the delay in the transportation of arson shells, the troops lost more than 1,000 people in one day.

However, both the Hushan Fortress and the Dagushan Fortress were far less terrifying than the Lushun Fortress Group, and because of the narrow terrain of Jinzhou, the Japanese Navy could provide artillery support from both sides, and a forced attack would inevitably suffer great losses. It's not that he's afraid of sacrifice, he still knows the truth of Ci not being in charge of the troops, but at present, Japanese reinforcements have arrived, and the voice of revenge is flourishing, and it is not wise to invest in attrition now.

The Liaodong Peninsula has already achieved a strategic advantage, and the Shandong Peninsula has been properly deployed, when the gunfire breaks and ignites the powder keg in Europe a few days later, where will they and the country go? Yang Qiu was so engrossed that he didn't realize that he hadn't done any work until the knock on the door sounded, so he simply put down his pen and went to open the door in person, but when he opened the door, he found that it was Feng Guozhang and Jiang Baili.

"Didn't disturb the Commander-in-Chief's office, did you?"

After the two stepped into the room, Feng Guozhang glanced at the thick documents on the table and sighed with some emotion. Since he agreed to be the deputy chief of the general staff, he has heard that Yang Qiu has to deal with factories, military and other matters in addition to giving instructions to work documents every day, and he has to be busy until midnight every day to fall asleep, and now it seems that this is really the case. The great responsibility of the people from heaven must first work hard and work their muscles and bones, and to be able to stand at such a height in the year of the weak crown shows that there is indeed something extraordinary. However, Jiang Baili was used to this situation, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not the commander-in-chief who can't sleep tonight." ”

After Yang Qiu heard the meaning of his words, he asked Cai Gongshi to make tea for the two of them before asking, "The North Koreans agreed?" ”

Jiang Baili said: "I haven't officially agreed yet, mainly because the power contrast between our two families is too great, and they are afraid that we have other ideas." But judging from the meaning of the words, there should be no other choice. Just now they went to see Zhang Yuting, hoping to set up a logistics and training base in our country, and send some officers to help, but they also talked about a lot of difficulties, saying that Yuting's ears were calloused, and it was estimated that it was for money. ”

"There is no problem with money, I will go to see Jin Jiu in a hundred miles, since I want people to contain Japan and give some money." Yang Qiu wanted to smoke a cigarette, he had been smoking in his previous life, but he had not smoked since returning to this era, until last year, when Li Yuanhong's tobacco factory in Guiyang started to send him a few, he seemed to find his feelings again, but he was just thinking about things before he smoked. After handing it to the two of them, he said: "At present, the country is in difficulty, most of the factories and equipment captured in this battle are factories, and the cash is probably only 350 million yuan, which is not enough for military consumption, so you will go and tell Jin Jiu later, I will support 5 million yuan in the name of Hubei Industrial Company, and mortgage a small iron ore mine on the side of Mamao Mountain, which may as well be transferred to Hubei Company." ”

Iron ore? Jiang Baili frowned, he had also been in the Northeast for many years, and it was the first time he heard that there was an iron mine in Maoshan, thinking that this was an excuse for Yang Qiu to change his way to send money, and said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, you have made a fortune recently, so you don't need to spend it like this." "In the past few days, Hubei and Chongqing have won more than 10 million US dollars in technology transfer fees, and the largest shareholder of these two factories is Yang Qiu. And everyone knows that Commander Yang is not short of money, and recently he has made instant coffee, and the pharmaceutical factory is said to have made a special medicine, and he doesn't know how moisturizing it is in his small days.

Yang Qiu scolded with a smile: "Brother Baili won't be red-eyed, if you want, I can transfer the dry shares of Yicheng Pharmaceutical Factory to you." ”

"I don't have the skills to do this, so let's teach my books well." Jiang Baili shook his hand and pushed a fortune out of the door before continuing: "What about the base? ”

"It is located in Yanji, opposite Maoshan, but the number and size must be strictly limited, and it must also abide by the laws of our country and accept the supervision of the garrison." Yang Qiu and the two discussed the matter of supporting North Korea for a while, before turning his head and asking, "General Feng, do you think there are still problems?" ”

Although Feng Guozhang is one of the three heroes of Beiyang, most of his prestige is established in the war, and he is really not good at this kind of deployment involving countries, so he waved his hand and said: "The old man doesn't know much about this, but since we want to make trouble, we have to make a big fuss, and when we fight fiercely with the Japanese army, we can win by surprise, but it's not that I say something ugly, these Koreans are afraid that they will be killed by Japan, and I am afraid that they will not make any big moves." ”

Yang Qiu knows the virtue of North Korea best, even if he gives them weapons and funds, if it is not a little stimulus, it will not make much trouble, squinted his eyes and smiled: "You can rest assured that North Korea will definitely have a big incident in two months at most, and whether Jin Jiu and they can take this opportunity to rise up depends on their own ability." ”

The two of them are used to this kind of godly prophecy like him, Feng Guozhang doesn't ask in detail, he pulled Jiang Baili here tonight to have other things, and when he saw that the North Korean affairs were arranged, he gritted his teeth and said: "Chenhua, I want to go to Hushan to have a look." ”

"To Tiger Mountain?"

Looking at Feng Guozhang, Yang Qiu frowned. The war is coming, and the situation is very similar to the early stage of the Russo-Japanese War, with Japan's rigid temperament, it must be ready to replicate the Russo-Japanese War again, and Hushan in Jiuliancheng must be one of the places where the Japanese army must fight to the death, so the battle must be very difficult, and said: "Why does General Feng want to go to Hushan?" Once it starts, it will definitely be one of the centers of contention, I'm afraid. ”

Since agreeing to be the deputy chief of general staff of the National Defense Forces, Feng Guozhang has never talked to Yang Qiushen, mainly because of the knots formed by the Hubei War, and as for wanting to go to Hushan, it is also stimulated by Sa Zhenbing. He Lao Feng had fought all his life, and he finally looked forward to this war and never wanted to stay behind, but he knew that Yang Qiu didn't like Beiyang again, which was finally broken up, so he brought Jiang Baili, who had a good relationship with him, as a lobbyist.

Jiang Baili smiled: "The old general Huafu also has itchy hands, and I also think that there should be someone with full authority to command the river from Jiulian City to Tonghua." After all, the Japanese army has more and more troops in Baima Mountain, and if there is no general stationed there, it will be very bad if it is lost. ”

Yang Qiu thought about it and said, "You are thinking about it very much, but the artillery fire has no eyes. Hearing that the words had been promised, Feng Guozhang hurriedly interrupted and promised: "Although Chen Hua can rest assured, the old man is not afraid of Japanese shells, as long as I am in one day, I will be able to ensure the safety of the flank of Hushan, so that you can fully defend against the enemy in Lushun." ”

He said so, and Yang Qiu had no choice but to agree.

Feng Guozhang's wish came true and dragged Jiang Baili away, but as soon as the two of them left, Cai Gong brought a young man dressed as a flag man.

"Wu Rui has seen the commander!"

Wu Rui is the top head of the Security Bureau in North Korea, and he is also one of the intelligence officers who Yang Qiu personally trained and participated in the southwest operation. ”

"He was still imprisoned in Seoul, and after the war, the Japanese army strengthened their surveillance of him, but it did not affect the approach of our people." Wu Rui sneered: "We did our hands and feet when we were treating him before, so now he gets sick every once in a while and has to undergo special acupuncture." ”

"Good!" Yang Qiu lit a cigarette, this was already his second cigarette tonight, if Miao Luo Zai would definitely notice the abnormality, because he never smoked two cigarettes in a row. No wonder he was so abnormal, because the stakes were high. said: "Jin Jiu they can't bear it for long, I estimate that they will agree to our support within three days at the latest, but they are not very reliable, so whether they can arouse the anger of the whole of Korea and launch a rebellion in the Rebellion still depends on ourselves." ”

"As for Li Xi." The words paused at this point, and the cigarette butt flickered on and off a few times before a voice came out: "Let's do it according to the plan." ”

Yang Qiu knew the current situation in North Korea best, and according to the traditional method, letting Jin Jiu expand his influence step by step and then launch an uprising would not play much role at all, so he let the Security Bureau keep an eye on Li Xi early. Yi Hee is the so-called founding emperor of the Korean Empire, because he has always supported the anti-Japanese movement to seek national independence and self-determination, so his prestige in the eyes of the Koreans is not small, and there is a shadow of Russia behind this person, so Japan is also afraid to touch him again and again before imprisoning him. Historically, it was also because of his sudden death that there was a nationwide March 1st uprising.

Wu Rui was also very excited when he heard that he could close the net: "Commander-in-chief, rest assured, our medicine is all applied to the gold needle, colorless and odorless, and the Japanese have not found it at all, and it must be combined with a special thing to attack, so after Li Xi's death, the Koreans will definitely suspect Japan." ”

"Don't close the net in the first place." Yang Qiu is the kind of person who will not have any worries if he decides, and said: "Pick out a few people first, and then you personally contact the hunters to let them cooperate, and make some trouble to make people think that his death was because of the revenge of the Japanese." ”

Seeing Wu Rui nodding, Yang Qiu picked up the coffee and changed the topic: "By the way, what is your current identity?" How's that going for you to monitor? ”

"My current identity is Kim Myung-sheng, the representative of the poor party in North Korea, who opened a medicine store in Changchun as a cover, and the bureau chief and brothers have already arranged my identity in Ronan Province." Wu Rui continued: "The poor party has entered the dormant since the last time, except for the necessary personnel, all the rest have gone underground, it is said that a new leader has been sent from Europe, as for who we have not yet inquired clearly, but recently there are rumors that they are preparing to send people to contact our country to seek the possibility of cooperation." ”

Although there is still a period of time, Yang Qiu has never been at ease with this poor party, the country that has caused the most harm to China in history is definitely not Japan, and as long as they cut off Japan's hand deep into the mainland, they will be equivalent to losing half their lives. So this time, as long as Japan can be beaten and not moved within ten years, there will be enough time and opportunity to completely surpass this Dongying little overlord. But the vast northern frontier has never been able to reassure him, the border defense of thousands of miles is more annoying than the sea, and the biggest enemy in the future can only be this poor party, so Yang Qiu has never stopped infiltrating and monitoring them since he entered the north.

But now is not the time to deal with them, take out a small bag of bullets from the drawer and hand it to Wu Rui: "Take it." The Minyuan-style pistol is special, and it only needs to hit the torso within 30 meters to kill with one hit. I, the commander-in-chief, don't have much support for the time being, and everything depends on you, so no matter what happens, you must save your life first. ”

After Wu Rui saluted Yang Qiu gratefully, he took out the bullet from the cloth bag and looked at it, and found that the bullet was sunken inward, forming a small hole with rules. Although it was the first time he saw an empty bullet, Yang Qiu said that he absolutely believed that one shot would kill. After padding the cloth bag, he suddenly thought of something and said: "The commander-in-chief poor party has been developing party members in Northeast China and North Korea recently, so I think that in addition to weapons and equipment, we should also have some means of our own confrontation. ”

"Exporting the country?" Wu Rui's words made Yang Qiu's eyes flash, and he took out the third cigarette.
