No. 167 and Tiger Seek Skin, Ask for Collection, Ask for Tickets

It's the end of the month, do you still have tickets?

On the mighty waters of the East China Sea, a steamer named Yamada Maru is slowly sailing westward with black smoke in tow. When the weather is fine, the waves that break open at the bow of the ship splash a little snow-white waves. A few seagulls circled over the ship, chirping occasionally, and they looked particularly cheerful.

There was a soft knock on the door of one of the ship's first-class cabins, and Kita Ikki looked up from the manuscript he was writing. The personal servant had gone to open the door, and a tall old man in a kimono with a straight back walked in with a smile.

"Mr. Bei, are you still immersed in writing your "Outline of the Reform Act"? Seeing that the ship is about to arrive in Shanghai, your friend who is a socialist in China should also contact Chang Ruiqing, right? ”

Bei Yihui stood up and moved his body: "Mr. Toushan, that ** valve is a very remarkable person...... You Black Dragon Society should have been keeping an eye on him for a long time, right? How's that, what do you think of this person? ”

The old man who is called Mr. Toushan is the leader of the Black Dragon Society, Toushanman! He is a very special figure in the modern history of Japan, and he has never served as a high-ranking official in his life, but he is a pivotal political leader in the political arena of Japan. And the Black Dragon Society he founded was a combination of underworlds, political organizations, and terrorist organizations, and its influence on the political arena of Japan was far greater than that of several major political parties in Japan at that time, and it was only in the Army of Japan!

And a Japanese thinker and politician like Bei Yihui has long been a figure funded by the Black Dragon Society. On the second day after returning to Tokyo, he went to visit his behind-the-scenes financier, Touyamamitsu, and presented him with Wang Yaqiao's plan for a grand alliance between China, Japan, Russia and Soviet Russia, in order to seek the support of this behind-the-scenes general in the political arena. And the reaction of this "behind-the-scenes general" was to come to Shanghai in person to meet with Wang Yaqiao, Li Dazhao, and Chang Ruiqing, who "represented" a certain faction of the Chinese government.

Of course, his trip does not mean that he was moved by Bei Yihui and is ready to change his course and be friendly with China. Instead, they are unwilling to give up an opportunity that can allow them to get a large piece of territory!

Unlike those politicians of the Taisho period, right-wing political figures and underworld leaders like Toushan Man are very disgusted by the current practice of being a British and American junior. If there is any real chance that land can be obtained from Russia. He wouldn't have to think about any Anglo-American objections.

Tou Shanman looked at the look on Bei Yihui's face, and laughed out loud: "Hehe, what great character can there be in China?" Although this Chang Ruiqing is clever, he is also ruthless and decisive. But after all, it's a guy full of selfish desires! Hehe, there has always been no shortage of talented people in their branches, but only loyal and brave people who are really willing to sacrifice for the country and the people! ”

Bei Yihui was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Toushan, you will say this." Did you get any news? ”

Toushan smiled, and went out side by side with Kita Yihui to enjoy the sea view. Out of the hatch, the two of them strolled to the side of the railing of the ship, and seeing that there was no one around, Toushan Mancai smiled and said to Bei Yihui: "This time Duan Qirui was forced by the powers to come up with a strategy, asking Chang Ruiqing to take back the [China] Customs in Fujian. to challenge British interests in China. wanted to force the British to support him to come out and clean up the mess, but Chang Ruiqing is now colluding with red organizations like the Chinese GCD, it seems that he wants to use them to confuse the middle and lower class masses and offend the British for him! ”

Kita Yihui nodded slowly, and Toushan Manyi patted him on the shoulder: "He is so enthusiastic about this 'Japan-Russia Alliance Plan' this time, I am afraid that he also wants to use the support of the empire to ensure his power." And without considering the possibility of the branch of the Japanese melon! No matter how great a warlord you say is, how much good can you do to China? ”

Kita Yihui was stunned. Follow-up asked: "What about the Rugua branch?" Mr. Toyama, do you think this is possible? ”

Tou Shanman nodded: "The strength and weakness of the three countries of Japan, Russia and Russia are obvious...... Russia is like a tiger. Although there is a disease, but after all, there will be a day of recovery, the day is like a leopard, although small, but it is extremely fierce, and Zhina is just a fat pig! This fat pig should have befriended a beast as far away as Anglo-American France, even if it cost a lot! However, the leaders of the new generation of "China" countries like Chang Ruiqing and Zuo Min have given up Britain and the United States to form a relationship with Japan and Russia...... Without the support of Britain and the United States, will there be any other way out for this big fat pig than to be divided between Japan and Russia? ”

Bei Yihui sighed softly: "Among Chang Ruiqing and Zuo Min, if one of them is willing to sacrifice himself, he can calm the anger of Britain...... If they are the people of the Japanese government, they will definitely sacrifice themselves without hesitation, right? ”

……

A truck full of Red Guards swept past Zhang Guotao at a high speed, startling him with a mind full of thoughts. Voting in the Russian Constituent Assembly elections has ended, and the counting of votes has already begun. But everyone already knew that this result of the vote count would not bring victory to the Bolsheviks, it was only a matter of losing more and losing less! According to the most optimistic projections at present, the Bolsheviks will receive about 25% of the vote in the first day, and if this number is exceeded, it will only show one problem - that is, the Election Commission controlled by the Bolsheviks has adopted a fraudulent method in the voting process! However, no matter how much fraud is committed, the Bolsheviks will lose, at most they will become a more influential opposition in Russian politics in the future! At least that's what Western political observers in Russia now think.

And Comrade Zhang Guotao does not believe this nonsense at all! As a foreign revolutionary who had access to Lenin and the other top echelons of the Bolshevik Party, and who had a certain degree of trust, he knew far more about the inside story than the wishful Western observers - but at the moment the Bolsheviks were forming the Red Army with great fanfare, and a powerful secret service was already in the works, while they were engaged in almost open peace negotiations with Germany!

All indications are that the Bolsheviks are not ready to hand over their power at all, and that they are already about to impose dictatorship on the whole of Russia! I really don't know how low the IQ of those Western observers and the Russian social revolutionaries and Mensheviks is, and how they are still dreaming of a peaceful takeover......

However, Comrade Zhang Guotao did not give much thought to this issue in his mind. He was only thinking about how to do a good job in the tasks assigned by the Left Min comrades of the Central G, and at the same time to make the Bolshevik comrades Lenin trust and reuse himself even more.

I heard that Comrade Lenin was preparing to build a world party organization, the Third International! I don't know if I can get a place for the secretary of the Oriental Bureau? In this way, his position in the middle g can also rise, at least above Huang Baopei, right?

So this two-pleasing errand can be decided not to be messed up! On the way to the Winter Palace, for the first time, our Zhang Da Ge family had a feeling of uneasiness.

By the way. Our Zhang Da Revolutionist is no longer Comrade Lenin's chief of guard. Because of the prominence of the October Revolution (hunching around behind Comrade Lenin's ass like a fart), he was about to be promoted, and he was transferred to a key post in the All-Russian Committee for the Suppression of Counter-Terrorism, which was being prepared! But those who watched the gate at the gate of the Winter Palace recognized this Vasily, who was deeply trusted by Comrade Lenin? Sheet. They just hastily checked Zhang Guotao's documents and waved them away.

Walk through the Huā Garden of the Hermitage. In an extremely spacious and luxurious living room. There were already people waiting there. A middle-aged man with a horsehair beard and a slightly bald head was sitting on the sofa in the middle, watching Zhang Guotao, who was wearing a Red Guard coat, walk in with curiosity. Zhang Guotao had seen this person before and recognized him as Adolf, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Government? Abramovich? The more you fly! It seems that before meeting Lenin. I'm going to get past him first.

"Comrade Yue Fei, it's great to see you." Zhang Guotao took the initiative to say hello very enthusiastically.

Yue Fei just smiled faintly, raised his hand and pointed to a sofa opposite: "Vasily, please take a seat." ”

When Zhang Guotao heard this, he sat down upright, holding his knees with his hands. A humble smile. Yue Fei nodded with satisfaction and asked in a low voice: "Vasily, I heard that you brought a plan for the Russian-Japanese-Chinese Triple Alliance proposed by Zhongg?" ”

Zhang Guotao nodded and said with a smile: "It's not a plan, it's just an idea, and this idea is only used to deal with some possible emergency." For example, imperialism supported the reactionary forces in their rebellions in Siberia and the Far East. ”

Yue Fei smiled faintly: "Comrade Lenin and Comrade Trotsky believe that such an emergency is not possible, but will definitely happen!" Let's talk about it, what good way does our friend Comrade Zuo Min have? During this time, he helped us eliminate many reactionary elements! ”

Zhang Guotao smiled slightly. Stood up. He took out a pre-written book from his pocket and handed it over with both hands: "Comrade Yue Fei, this is the book sent by telegram from Comrade Zuo Min, please take a look." ”

Yue Fei took the book and looked at it, and the words on it were all written in Russian. The content is also very simple, that is, to point out to Comrade Lenin. The key to the victory of the Russian Revolution lies in the defeat of future foreign intervention forces and the rebel forces in their own country! Judging from the resolute opposition of Britain, France, the United States and other powers to the "Sino-Russian New Covenant" during this period, their country must be planning a conspiracy to interfere in the life of the Russian Revolution!

Rather, it is necessary to interfere with the Russian Revolution. Only the territory of the country of China, or the sea of the day controlled by the government of the city, landed in Vladivostok. It is estimated that it will also buy the "Japanese" book, so that the "Japanese" book will send a large number of intervention troops! The number may be up to hundreds of thousands, and they will have the potential to become the most terrible enemies of Soviet power! Under these circumstances, the nascent Soviet power may consider giving up certain benefits in order to win over the Japanese and form a temporary alliance with them in order to smash the conspiracy of the foreign powers to interfere in the life of the Soviet revolution......

After reading this book, Yue Fei's eyebrows tightened slightly, and he nodded at Zhang Guotao: "Okay, this building is worth considering." With that, he got up from the sofa: "Vasily, you wait here, I will go and see Comrade Lenin and Comrade Trotsky now, they are probably thinking about something similar, right?" ”

……

"Playing music! Welcome Mr. Toyama! ”

Toushan Man and Bei Yihui couldn't have imagined that Chang Ruiqing actually held a grand welcome ceremony for their arrival in the yamen of the Shanghai Protector Army! Chang Ruiqing and Lu Yongxiang, as well as a vote of Beiyang civil and military officials, were neatly dressed, standing at the door of the guard envoy's yamen with a smile on their faces, and even Chang Ruiyuan was holding a tall, fair-skinned beautiful lady standing beside Lu Yongxiang, and the little couple had excited expressions on their faces, and it seemed that they were very happy to participate in this kind of scene.

The cars of Yamaman and Kita Ichiki drove along the main road from the Bund, then turned north on the Tibet Road and entered the Huajie, all the way to the gate of the Guardian Envoy's Yamen. The marching band played a welcome song. As the host, Lu Yongxiang personally walked to the car door to open the car door for this "Japanese" underworld leader, watched him bow out, and then bowed again. The enthusiasm is incredible.

Chang Ruiqing stretched out his hands and held Tou Shanman tightly, and had a "cordial conversation" in front of the spotlight and reporters from major newspapers in Shanghai for a while. Then the two terrorists, one old and one young, walked hand in hand and laughed all the way into the gate of the guard envoy's yamen. When I entered the hall inside the yamen, I saw that more than a dozen tables of banquets had already been set up. Chang Ruiqing pulled his head and was full of mountains. Lu Yongxiang led Bei Yihui, and the four of them sat down at the main table together.

Tou Shan said with a smile: "The old man just came to Shanghai for a visit, but he didn't expect the two generals to be so enthusiastic, it's really grateful." ”

Chang Ruiqing laughed: "Who doesn't know that Mr. Toushan once helped the League to fill the ranks of the [Revolutionary]? Speaking of which, it can be regarded as the father of our Republic of China's revolution! Your country's "Japan" is also the midwife of my "China" country's "revolution" (Beiyihui language), and Chang Mou has also participated in the Xinhai "revolution" life. How can you not respect your predecessor? ”

Tou Shanman waved his hand and said with a smile: "How dare you, how dare you...... It is only out of the collective interests of the East Asian nation that the old man helped the "China" country to "revolutionize" the life, and the "China" country "revolution" life father did not dare to be. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tou Shanman faintly felt that something was wrong. It won't be long before this warlord is about to set off a new ** in the anti-British struggle in Fujian, will his words be misunderstood as the Black Dragon will support him against the British? But when he thought about it, he was a little scornful of his own British phobia. The Japanese wanted to rise to the status of a first-class power. Isn't the first thing to do is to get rid of the psychological shadow of Britain and the United States? It is better to let this warlord of China tell those politicians in his own country how weak the world hegemon of Britain is now!

Chang Ruiqing stood up at this time, raised his wine glass and toasted loudly: "Mr. Toushan and Mr. Bei, two friends of Japan, at a time when British and American imperialism are oppressing our Asian nation, resolutely visit China in spite of the layers of obstruction of British and American imperialism, which is the greatest support for the anti-imperialist struggle of our Chinese people. It is the beginning of a new situation in East Asia that unites China and Japan! In this glass of wine, I wish the unity of the East Asian nation. Turn East Asia into the East Asia of my East Asians! ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was full of jubilation. The guests pushed their glasses and changed their glasses. Toushan Man and Kita Yihui looked at each other, and they both drank in big glasses and pretended to be bold. Only Li Dazhao, who was sitting at a table on the side, looked at this qiē coldly, and snorted in a low voice: "The head mountain is full, and the black dragon will ...... This Chang Yaoru is really seeking skin with the tiger! ”

When the banquet dispersed, it was naturally the guests and hosts who were happy, and Bei Yihui was already drunk, and the two servants helped him to rest first. Chang Ruiqing and Tou Shanman both looked as usual, and they didn't know if the two of them were drinking wine or water just now?

Chang Ruiqing arched his hand at Toushan: "Mr. Toushan, in fact, Brother and General Zijia are not today's hosts, but it is inconvenient for those two gentlemen to come forward, so we will do it for us, I don't know if Mr. Toushan is still convenient now?" Why don't we go to Huā Garden and talk about it, and meet them by the way. ”

Tou Shanman smiled faintly: "This little wine is not in the way, the old man is still very sober." ”

The two of them did not follow anyone, so they slowly walked in the huā garden of the guard envoy's yamen. Lu Yongxiang's guards made the yamen occupy a huge area, and the huā garden was also very exquisitely arranged, and the servants and guards of the yamen had been ordered in advance to not step into this huā garden at this moment, and it seemed that there were only four people in the huā garden, Wang Yaqiao and Li Dazhao, who had been waiting there for a long time.

"These two are Mr. Li and Mr. Wang on the Chinese side - this is Mr. Toushan, a friend of the Black Dragon Society."

As soon as the four of them met, Chang Ruiqing introduced each other to the two sides, and then hugged his fists at the other three, and said with a smile: "Today is the first time for the three of us to meet, first make a friend, and then establish a communication channel." As for the big thing we want to talk about, it's really important...... We are actually not qualified to talk about this, let alone make decisions. Therefore, I think that what we have to do is only to match the forces represented behind each other, and if we can promote the three sides of China, Japan and Russia to formally sit down and talk, it will be a success! Brother here, let's make a statement first, although Duan Zhilao and Xu Zhenggong in Beijing don't know about this matter yet, they will categorically not reject this China-Japan-Russia alliance! So now it's the attitude of the Russian side and the Japanese side, I don't know if Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Toushan are sure? (To be continued......)
