"Two big ships about to collide!"

In Europe in 1902, this is one of the most well-known political cartoons, in which one big ship is named "Northeast China" and another big ship is called "Russian Empire".

Although for many ordinary people, they simply cannot distinguish what is China and what is Northeast China, this does not prevent them from caring about the war that is taking place in the East. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For Europeans, the war in the Northeast was even more appealing than the Boer War, in which Britain participated, not only because it would affect the fate of the two nations, but also because it was the largest war that Napoleon had ever fought before.

More importantly...... This is the first time since the Industrial Revolution that a person of color has challenged the hegemony of white people in the world.

This is the fundamental reason why people are concerned about this war.

Nevertheless, it is surprising that after the outbreak of this war, the mainstream media in Europe sided with China, and the reason for this may lie in the public relations and exploitation of European public opinion by the Northeast.

After deciding on the war against Russia, the Northeast side decided that Russia's public opinion strategy was to launch the "**** theory" in Europe, and in order to block all this, the Intelligence Bureau sent people to Europe to set up an offensive base for "media warfare." The intelligence officers who were sent to launch a "media war" aimed at controlling public opinion in various European countries. Those intelligence officers will discuss what media likes what, what this editor likes, how much money to give them, and so on.

The task of these intelligence officers is very simple: first, to ensure that the British allies fully understand the strategic intentions of the Northeast. Aren't Britain and Russia mortal enemies? Then the media station launched by the British said that the northeast was blocking Russia's southward movement. The second is to prevent the occurrence of "**** theory", to prevent similar articles from being published in newspapers, and then to avoid the "**** theory" from prevailing in Europe, which requires bribing the European media.

Millions of "advertising fees" every month. It is undoubtedly extremely worthwhile, under the operation of intelligence officials, after the outbreak of the war, although there are occasional European newspapers that publish articles on the "**** theory", its mainstream media has remained silent, and even occasionally refutes the so-called "**** theory".

In addition to swaying public opinion in the host country. As for the intelligence officers sent by the northeastern side of the consulate, they are also responsible for collecting military, political, economic, and other aspects of intelligence, and as the military attache of the consulate in Sweden, Genjiro Akashi, while trying to manipulate the mainstream Swedish media, is also working hard for a "human power" idea.

Perhaps for many. The outbreak of war between China and Russia was very sudden, but as early as after Russia occupied Japan, Genjiro Akashi, who was still serving in the Japanese Army, was convinced that this war was inevitable.

And after entering the intelligence bureau, he firmly recognized this judgment, from Nanyang to Sweden, whether it was a change of position. But for Genjiro Akashi, it means getting closer to his dream.

That's why. Almost as soon as he arrived, he immediately began to speed up the collection of intelligence about Russia, and although Sweden was a certain distance from Russia, people did not prevent him from using his mobile phone in Sweden to obtain information related to Russia.

However, his intelligence gathering did not go well, and he bribed an official of the Russian Army Logistics Department to obtain important information such as the Russian army's response plan in the Far East, transportation plans, and plans for the operation of trains on the Siberian Railway. But it wasn't long after getting this offline. Intelligence officers in St. Petersburg thought he had stretched his hand too far and issued a direct warning to him. As a result, he suspended his operations in Russia.

But after the outbreak of the war, with the retreat of consular officers living in Russia, Sweden became the center of intelligence work against Russia. This makes Genjiro Akashi active again. Passionately devoted himself to intelligence work against Russia.

"Li Jun, I've heard about and Vladimir. Ilyich. Did Mr. Karpov have a relationship? ”

When Li Guowei poured wine for himself, Genjiro Akashi asked, Li Guowei is a former intelligence officer living in Russia, can speak fluent Russian, has many friends from all walks of life in St. Petersburg, and has an intelligence network in Russia.

Moreover, the last time she bought off an official of the Russian Army Logistics Department, it was precisely because of Li Guowei's warning that she had to terminate it, but now she has received a clear order to allow him to intervene in Russian intelligence work. So the two are also in a cooperative relationship now,

After receiving the last warning, Genjiro Akashi came up with the idea of getting acquainted with and associating with the leaders of the Russian anti-government. This was inspired by his contacts with the Russians in Sweden, and on many occasions the highly educated Russians would involuntarily blame the existence of problems within the Russian Empire and vent their dissatisfaction with the government, and it was for this reason that Akashi had the idea of attacking from within.

Based on the study of Russian history and the analysis of the current situation, Genjiro Akashi concluded that there was discontent in Russia, and even a spark would soon form a good situation for the prairie to be burned. I am sure that the strategic work I have designed will be successful.

"Stratagem is the sin of the country itself", because of the violence of successive Russian governments, the government and the masses of the people have suffered from poverty for a long time, and a revolution is brewing in Russia. It was from here that the first step in Akashi's work began, and the first person to come into his sight was Vladimir of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. Ilyich. Karpov.

"Huh?"

Li Guowei was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Akashi Genjiro curiously.

"Yes, Mr. Karpov and I are very good friends, and in fact Karpov is very good friends with many foreigners."

For the reason why Genjiro Akashi asked about this in front of him, Li Guowei was very clear. He knew very well that the reason why foreigners, including himself, came into contact with Karpov, could it be that she wanted to make a breakthrough in Karpov?

"So, Li Jun, can you help me contact Mr. Karpov?"

Akashi Motojiro suppressed his excitement and asked, the Social Democratic Labor Party is the largest revolutionary party in Russia, although they are now divided into a majority headed by Karpov and a minority headed by Martov due to internal ideological differences, but the Social Democratic Labor Party still has a certain influence in Russia.

And his influence is exactly what Genjiro Akashi needs, and he needs to draw on the influence of the Social Democratic Labor Party. To launch a revolution in Russia, if not to destroy the country from within, would plunge the country into turmoil.

"It seems that you should have been following it for a while, then you should know that Karpov's actions in the last six months have been very secretive, Your Excellency Dazuo, you know, he has to hide from the Tsar's police."

Li Guowei looked at Akashi Genjiro and said.

"Can you tell me what you think?"

"Li Jun, you are a Russian expert, so you should know that with the size of Russia, it is impossible to break Russia by force, at least it is impossible for us to fight all the way from the Far East to St. Petersburg to end this war, so we need to find another way and think of other ways. And in Russia there is ample leeway for strategic work, so we have to contact Mr. Karpov. ”

Akashi's intentions surprised Li Guowei. But then the whole person became agitated again. It was then that he realized what he had overlooked, that he had been focused on intelligence gathering, that she had neglected the opportunity to launch an offensive inside Russia.

"I know, of course, that Russia has a relatively short history of state formation, about the same time as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and that its ruling base is not solid. Moreover, the monarchical dictatorship of its rule, coupled with the poverty of the people, has made it a revolutionary ...... brewing in Russia."

Lee's brow furrowed, even though he realized what he had overlooked? But it is also clear that Russia has not yet reached the point of starting a revolution. At least not when the time is ripe.

"However, the situation is far from being touch-and-verge. The first is the government's various activities for the masses of the people. The constant use of a strong army to suppress them, and the disunity among the revolutionary parties, coupled with the dispersion of the various parts of the country, and the disunity of action, even within the parties, as in the Social Democratic Labour Party in which Mr. Karpov was all present. And the most important reason is ......"

"It's because the revolutionary parties lack the funds and weapons to operate."

Interrupting Li Guowei's words, Akashi Motojiro said affirmatively.

"What they don't have is exactly what we can provide, money and weapons for their activities, when necessary. We can all provide it to them. ”

Now Genjiro Akashi does not doubt that if his actions are approved, then he will inevitably receive support from the country!

"But...... The Russians may ......"

Although he is a Russian expert, Li Guowei still does not believe that in the wartime, those revolutionary parties will cooperate with the Northeast, betray or even betray their own country. It is almost impossible to imagine, but how can any patriot with the slightest patriotic heart betray his country in time of war?

"Li Jun, you don't know about those so-called revolutionary parties, we want to defeat the Russian government, and the revolutionary parties in Russia also want to seize power in their own countries, so naturally they also want to defeat their own governments, and the two sides have the same goal. That's what we have in common,"

Genjiro Akashi knows very well what is the most important thing for those so-called revolutionary parties, it has always been the ass that decides the head, and it has always been the mother of milk, and for those revolutionary parties, the most important task is to seize their own government, not to safeguard the national interests of the "old regime", and even for them, the anti-government values them and strives for foreign support.

"The revolutionary forces in Russia are strong and are brewing, but the armed forces to wage it are insufficient. On the Japanese side, although there are armed forces to counterattack the southward advance of the Russian army, there is no force capable of breaking through and occupying the Russian capital in one fell swoop. In other words, the two sides have each other's strengths and weaknesses and need to support each other. ”

There was a slight sense of helplessness in Akashi's tone, and Li Guowei also shook his head helplessly, he is a Russian expert, of course he knows that Russia's war potential is far from what the Northeast can imagine.

"When our troops attacked the Russian army in Siberia and the Far East, they forced Russia to send Russian troops in the European part to the east, thus relieving the pressure on the Russian government on the revolutionary movement. In addition, the disruptive activities of the Russian revolutionary parties have restrained the Russian troops stationed in Europe, and in this way they have provided favorable conditions for our combat operations. In short, the activities of the revolutionary parties in Russia and our war have both contained and weakened the strength of the Russian army, and have played a complementary role. ”

"Yes, if this is the case, then maybe our country can win this war with the help of internal strife in Russia, and it is impossible for any country to defeat an external enemy in the event of internal turmoil."

Li Guowei nodded in agreement, if it can really be launched, then the Northeast will inevitably win this war. There will be no more doubts.

"While helping Russia to strengthen its revolutionary forces in the future, we will strive to coordinate the activities of the Russian political parties and the combat operations of our army, and to coordinate them with each other in order to bring into full play their combined might. Only with the help of chaos in Russia can it be possible for us to win this war, Li Jun, please, please be sure to contact Karpov through various channels to facilitate my meeting with him"

As he spoke, Akashi Genjiro stood up and bowed 90 degrees to Li Guowei respectfully, and when he saw it, he also hurriedly stood up and returned a 90-degree bow.

"Please put it down, I will live up to your trust and do everything possible to contact Karpov."

"It's done!"

After Li Guowei left, Akashi Genjiro slapped his right palm with his left fist excitedly, and whispered softly in his mouth, contact Mr. Karpov here, and his report over there was approved by the headquarters, then everything could be decided.

"The power of proper stratagem is not inferior to that of thousands of troops on the battlefield!"

With a smile on his face, Akashi Motojiro muttered in his heart, for him who is nearly forty years old, this may be the only chance in his life to go down in history, maybe the strategic activities with Nanyang have made Tohoku gain an overseas territory, but it will be a secret forever.

But the strategy against Russia is different, and it is likely that it will be revealed at some point in the future, when everyone will know how he is going to dismantle the empire behind enemy lines.

In his heart, although he has been naturalized in China, his deep feelings for Japan cannot be erased, and he is eager to contribute to the future liberation of Japan in this war.

But his status as an intelligence officer made it impossible for him to make a career on the battlefield against Russia like his former colleagues, but Russia's domestic instability gave him another battlefield to make a contribution.

"Finland, Ukraine, Poland...... God helps Greater East Asia! Ah, except for the revolutionaries, the whole of Russia is full of powder kegs, and if you set this powder keg on fire......"

Imagine a future in which the whole country of Russia will be revolutionized and divided under his own control, and then ...... He seemed to see the victory of the war, the day of the liberation of Japan, and, of course, the moment when he was rewarded by the emperor...... (To be continued.) )
