Chapter 354: The Dragon's Tooth of the Northern Kingdom (II)

@@@@

In front of the Harbin Taxation Bureau, several Russian soldiers were leaning and listless.

Ren Fuchen put down the phone and looked at the Russian soldiers and felt ashamed! China's tax bureau is guarded by Russian soldiers, and all taxes must be handed over to Russia to deduct the amount of Xinchou's indemnity before they can get back a pitiful little. But the feeling of humiliation was still all over his body, he saw Liujin appear outside the gate, because he was an officer, so the soldiers did not stop him and let him in, seeing his hurried steps, Ren Fuchen couldn't help frowning, Liujin rarely appeared here, why did he suddenly come today?

"Ren."

After Liujin walked into the office, he couldn't wait to close the door and said in a low voice: "Something happened." After he quickly explained the matter of the factory, Ren Fuchen immediately furrowed his eyebrows, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table as if he was trying to find a way.

When he was young, he was admitted to the police academy full of blood fever, but because he saw that Japan and Russia were ravaging the northeast and there was no way to serve the country, by chance, he met the poor party (the Chinese called the Bolsheviks at that time), and immediately chose to join them after coming into contact with proletarian ideology and became the first Bolshevik Chinese party member.

But he also paid a great price for this, first in the bathroom by the bandits bribed by Tsarist Russia shot in the chest and almost died, after being hospitalized and recuperating, he was assassinated one after another, and finally his wife disguised herself as a nurse to save himself, and under the arrangement of the Bolsheviks, he went to Qiqihar to serve as the captain of the police patrol, during which he covered the political prisoners exiled by Tsarist Russia to the eastern Siberian region and took refuge in hundreds of people. Later, due to the leakage of information, Russia pressured the governor of Heilongjiang Song Xiaolian to ask for him to be handed over by force, fortunately he and Song are relatives, and after getting asylum, he transferred to the Suifenhe Water Police Station, in addition to continuing to cover political prisoners, he often went to Russia for meetings, and only recently returned to Harbin to become the director of the tax bureau.

When he heard that his comrade had been beaten and there was a fierce shootout, he was also nervous and comforted: "I'll deal with this matter, as long as he's in the city, I'll have a way to find him." Liujin breathed a sigh of relief, although he could find Ivan himself, but then he would need to use comrades in the army, and it would inevitably be completely exposed, so it was best for Ren Fuchen to make a move, because he was Chinese and had served as a patrol policeman.

After Liujin left, Ren Fuchen immediately called his assistant, this young man from a poor family background but handsome, who could speak some Russian, entered the tax bureau half a year ago by connections, and because of his deep hatred of Tsarist Russia, he was developed into a party comrade.

"I'll go to the police station now, you stay here, and if someone comes to investigate, they will say that I went out to socialize." After Ren Fuchen finished explaining, he hurriedly walked to the police station with a pistol, and when the assistant saw him leaving, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Fang Rui put down the phone and walked towards Qin Jian, who was covered in injuries: "We have obtained accurate information, Shumyatsky will return to China in the next two days, and if you cause such a big incident, they will definitely let you go back to Russia with him to avoid the limelight for a while, so it's still too late for you to quit now." ”

Qin Jian wanted to laugh, but the injury on his face made him unable to laugh, and after thinking about it, he nodded vigorously: "I have decided, there is only one thing, I hope that the director of the bureau can send someone to tell my brother and ask him to take good care of his parents ()." ”

"I'll go myself."

"Thank you!" Qin Jian glanced at his comrades-in-arms around him, and slowly raised his right arm, this action made Fang Rui seem to see Chen Haohui, pursed his lips and patted him: "If it goes well, when you pass through Irkutsk, you will encounter the Russian soldiers intersecting and crossfire, someone will arrange for you to rescue Shumyatsky, and we will eliminate the others!" The rest is up to you. ”

Fang Rui nodded, as long as he could do a good job of rescuing Shumyatsky, he would be sure to gain trust, and then use him as a cornerstone to infiltrate the Bolsheviks little by little.

Qin Jian didn't say anything more, walked out of the room with whip marks and two pistols and hid in the street corner below. A moment later, when a figure approached briskly from a distance, he immediately waved his hand at his comrades behind him, disguised as Russian soldiers.

"Catch him."

"Smack."

Ren Fuchen thought about how to speak as he walked, and the sudden explosion of gunfire in his ears startled him, and he quickly pulled out his pistol and looked forward, but because the frightened passers-by were running around, he couldn't see what was happening in front of him for a while. Fortunately, he was burly and not knocked down by the scurrying passers-by, and after a few glances through the crowd, he saw a man in blue overalls, covered in blood, stumbling towards him, followed by four or five Russian soldiers with rifles.

Although he couldn't see the Russian soldier's appearance from too far away, the blue cloth worker made his eyes light up, and it really didn't take any effort to get it! But just as he was about to approach the man, the man looked at him sharply, and the gun in his hand was involuntarily aimed at him.

"Mir Ivan? Don't shoot, I'm here to save you. ”

"Help me? Who are you? Qin Jian looked at Ren Fuchen in half-baked Chinese deliberately pretended, but he was already relieved in his heart, the intelligence was indeed correct, this person took special care of the Bolshevik comrades, and dared to take the initiative to run out in the face of the pursuing soldiers.

After Ren Fuchen snapped his hand and fired two shots to force the pursuers behind him not to dare to approach, he grabbed Qin Jian and quickly drilled into the narrow alley, it could be seen that he was very familiar with the streets and alleys of Harbin, and after a while, he turned into a house that was empty.

"My name is Ren Fuchen, and I came to save you on the orders of Liujin and the party organization."

Qin Jian deliberately continued to be vigilant, and the revolver in his hand was always aimed at Ren Fuchen intentionally or unintentionally, but this vigilance not only did not make Ren Fuchen worried, but he was more determined to save him, and immediately took out a unique badge of the Socialist Workers Party from his pocket.

Seeing the badge, Qin Jian pretended to be relieved, grabbed his arm excitedly and said, "Keep gold? That's great! Take me to him, you damned Russian lackeys, we should revolt at once and kill all these bastards. ”

Whether it is an uprising or not, Ren Fuchen has no right to decide, not to mention that he also knows that the current uprising is just looking for death, and after the Russo-Japanese War, Russia has always maintained a strong pressure of 300,000 troops in the Far East, so after hearing the footsteps of the pursuers outside, he quickly disappeared along the street into the city alley. Fang Rui, who had been hiding upstairs watching this scene, put down the binoculars, and then took out a list from his pocket: "Send someone to follow Qin Jian immediately, make sure that after he and Shumyatsky leave, give this to Wu Rui and ask him to transfer it to Horvat." ”

Naturally, the intelligence officers knew what this list was, and it included almost all the current high-level personnel of the Bolsheviks in Heilongjiang, Vladivostok, and Boli, and it was obtained by the Ministry of State Security after spending half a year and even sacrificing dozens of intelligence agents, so it can be said that as long as it was handed over, the Bolshevik organization in the Far East would be completely paralyzed.

The intelligence officer didn't care whether the Bolsheviks lived or died, he just hesitated, because there were still many lurking "Tibetan teeth" mixed in, and asked: "Boss, will this affect Tibetan teeth?" The corners of Fang Rui's mouth hooked: "It's only been half a year of lurking, our people are still small fish and shrimp, even if they are caught, it's a big deal to come out of prison after half a year, and being caught together will deepen the relationship between comrades and brothers, and when they are released from prison, the upper echelons are all gone, what do you think will happen?" ”

The intelligence officer's eyes lit up, and before he could answer, Fang Rui had already turned his head, looked at the direction Ren Fuchen left, and said to himself: "After we help the Tibetan Tooth get rid of the high-level, they will have the opportunity to become the high-level of the Bolshevik Far East, a high-level () that we control!" ”

Dongxiangfang Street is one of the most prosperous areas in Harbin, where Daosheng Bank, Hu Army Headquarters, Railway Engineering Bureau, etc. are all gathered, and the most eye-catching is the luxurious mansion in the center that has only been built for a few years.

"The White-Haired General's Mansion."

Looking at this luxurious Russian-style villa, dressed in Japanese-style clothes, Wu Rui looked at the nameplate and muttered to himself, before stepping into this building that was cursed by Heilongjiang and even the entire Northeast region under the protection of the accompanying guards carrying 38-type rifles.

At this moment, behind a window on the second floor, General Horvat, who was full of gray hair and even a silver beard, was furious at his adjutant: "Damn, it's been three days!" I gave you a whole battalion, and you told me I didn't find anything? Do you want me to convey this to Her Royal Highness? ”

The adjutant lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, but his heart was extremely dark, isn't it just a little related to the queen, is it worth talking about every day? Do you have to let the whole world know? The adjutant swallowed and said, "General, please rest assured, I have already sealed the border, as long as I give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to catch that fugitive." ”

"Well, I'll give you three more days, if you still disappoint me." Horvat's eyes were cold: "I will personally send you back to St. Petersburg to the secret police!" ”

The adjutant was so frightened that he hurriedly walked out, and when he went out, he almost bumped into the butler who came to report. After he left, the butler bowed and said, "General, the Japanese guests are here." ”

"Great, Pietro, do you know? Maybe we can make another big profit. As soon as Horvath heard that the Japanese were coming, he even forgot about the capture of Qin Jian, and his eyes were bright and he walked downstairs quickly.

In the living room, Wu Rui, disguised as a clerk of the Japanese Yawata Steel, met Horvat, and finally understood why everyone called him General Whitehair. Not only is his hair white, but his beard is also white, and even his skin is much whiter than that of ordinary people, if you want to describe it in one sentence, it is a bearded old Russian man who hides in a greenhouse and has albinism.

Wu Rui bowed deeply, five years after studying in Japan at his own expense, he had unconsciously had a Japanese imprint in his body, and he was glad that the vice president's guidance allowed him to see the true face of Japan, but this habit has helped a lot now, and fluent Japanese came with his mouth open: "Watanabe Shinno has seen His Excellency the General." ”

Although Japan and Russia fought fiercely in the Northeast, it has to be said that the politicians of the Meiji period in Japan were extraordinary, and they could still promote commercial exchanges between the two countries in the Far East.

Fortunately, Horvat was not too arrogant, and after motioning for Wu Rui to sit down, he asked the maid to bring tea and coffee: "Mr. Watanabe, do you like tea or coffee?" ”

Wu Rui came back with sufficient preparations, made up for all the knowledge of Russia, looked at the tray and suddenly smiled: "Thank you, General, I think a glass of vodka may be more suitable for the next business." ”

"Haha." Horvat laughed a few times and complimented, "Although I don't like Japan, Mr. Watanabe is an exception. ”

Wu Rui pretended to frown, but didn't say anything, and went straight to the point: "General, I heard that you have a batch of machinery and equipment to sell, if you can, I hope to buy all of them." ”

Horvat's big words brought him equipment worth 3 million US dollars, and he never planned to use it, so he was ready to sell it to make money before he opened the package, but he didn't expect that the Japanese came to the door before he released the news, although he was a little annoyed and leaked the news, but he originally planned to sell it to Japan, because no one could eat this goods except the Japanese Far East, and he directly ignored China that was close at hand.

Wu Rui gave a slap and shook it: "We are willing to buy all the machines for $500,000." ”

500,000 ()!

If it weren't for the nameplate of aristocratic honor to be maintained outside, Horvat would have directly issued an eviction order! Not to mention more than 200 brand-new French imported machine tools and rolling mills and other large items, just two 10-ton smelting furnaces are almost worth this price, so dark clouds immediately rose on the fair face: "Mr. Watanabe, are you kidding?" ”

Wu Rui was unhurried, took out a yellowed letter paper from his arms that had been deliberately torn open and handed it to Horvat: "Your Excellency General, on the way here, we rescued a man who fell into the water, and found this from him, I think maybe you are willing to change your mind." ”

Although Horvath was annoyed, he still took the letter and read it out of politeness, but he couldn't take it back when he saw half of his eyes, it turned out that this list was full of lists of Bolshevik members active in the Far East, and even the pseudonym, current address, and work unit were marked!

Oh, God! This thin piece of letter paper is worth a fortune, but how does it seem so little? No, looking at the tearing marks below, there are obviously several more. Horvat raised his head and looked at Wu Rui, no wonder these Japanese dared to offer such a low price, it seemed that they were ready to exchange this thing.

In terms of value, these letters are not comparable to machinery and equipment worth 300 dollars, but some things cannot be measured in money, and if you can destroy all the bases of the rebels in the Far East in one fell swoop, you will not know how happy you will be to arrest the high-ranking Majesty Nikolai! Maybe you can become an earl? Count, that is a competition for the title of Governor of the Far East.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Wu Rui guessed the white-haired general's thoughts, lowered his eyelids and smiled secretly in his heart, and said, "I don't know if Your Excellency the General has made a decision?" ”

"I think I can promise the deal." Horvat stuffed the letter into his pocket without a trace: "These devices will be loaded onto the train and transported to Vladivostok tonight, but I can't guarantee that your ship will only be able to enter and leave my ** port smoothly." ”

"It's an honor for me and Japan to be able to trade with you." Wu Rui deliberately patted the ass and said: "The two Dutch freighters are already waiting over there, and the remaining list will be sent to the general when they leave the harbor." ”

Horvath nodded: "Give me three days, and your ship can set sail on time." ”

"Thank you."

After Wu Rui bent down to say goodbye, the translator was a little reluctant, staring at the short back and snorting coldly: "General, why do you want to agree to these little yellow-skinned monkeys?" Those machines are worth. ”

"Value is not the most important thing." Horvat, who was still immersed in his dream of becoming an earl, waved his hand and said, "Go to General Phyllis and tell him to order all the troops to return to the camp, and no soldier shall leave the garrison without my orders!" I think we can give a generous gift on the eve of Your Majesty and the Queen's wedding anniversary. ”

Four days later, on the night when two ocean-going ships with deep draft slowly sailed out of the port of Vladivostok, sharp police whistles and gunfire rang out from Harbin, Vladivostok, and Boli at the same time, and the Bolsheviks, who were caught off guard, were attacked by the Tsarist Russian military police at the same time in the Far East, and hundreds of people were killed on the spot.

It was later learned that the Bolsheviks in the Far East, which had lasted for several months, had suffered the most serious damage, and dozens of high-ranking people, including Liujin, had been killed. It was not until a few years later that the Bolsheviks understood how much of a change the capture had brought to the Far East, and when the first detachment took the opportunity to enter Siberia to "protect" the expatriate, they could not even organize decent partisans to resist, but at this time they were only the number of souls who invited merit.

Before the interrogation and arrest were over, Horvat had already sent a good news to St. Petersburg, and at the same time sent a telegram "weeping bitterly" saying that all the machinery and equipment sent by His Majesty the Emperor had been blown up by the rebels, and the factory had come to a standstill, and was in urgent need of support.

When Fang Rui asked Wu Rui to set sail from Vladivostok with a list and $500,000 in exchange for equipment worth 3 million, Yang Qiu, who had the sharpest teeth hidden in the northern country, had already crossed the Kuimen Wu Gorge. For him, Operation Northland is just a small sapling, and the most important thing at the moment is to strengthen himself as soon as possible.
