Chapter 203: The Break (Part II)
Jiang Feng, who was in his early twenties, was dressed in a rotten cotton jacket, carrying a load of goods like the most ordinary hawker in Tianjin, stopped at the inside of the Huojia Silk Village not far from Zhang Yuan, pretended to be tired, put down the flat shoulder, squatted at the mouth of the secluded alley, took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and lit the fire ().
This ordinary action attracted the attention of several rickshaw drivers and coolies around, and their right hands immediately retracted into their sleeves, holding the triangular military thorns, and slowly leaned here. Seeing the team members coming around, he, an authentic Wudang disciple, suddenly puffed out his cigarette butt, climbed up from the wall next to him without making any movement, floated up along the two walls like a civet cat, and when he reached the window on the second floor, he flipped his wrist and took out a small mirror.
He was an orphan, adopted by the master at the age of five to learn art in Wudang Mountain, after going down the mountain in Xiangyang as a dart division, the Wuchang Uprising National Defense Army launched a northward march, the Qing army patrol camp in Xiangyang City was destroyed and swept into history, young He immediately took a few brothers to join the first division of the National Defense Force, and also participated in the battle of Xiaozang and Xiaocangshan, because of his outstanding performance and a good ability, he was still classified by the Ministry of Intelligence at the time, and after nearly a year of training, he became a member of the field team of the Ministry of Security, He has been practicing kung fu since he was a child, and it is easy for him to climb over this low wall.
Supporting himself on his feet, he slowly moved the mirror up the edge of the window, and in a moment the room was reflected in the small mirror.
Ma Feihu and his three subordinates had already changed into ordinary cotton robes, and there were several long and short guns on the Eight Immortals table in the middle, and Jiang Feng, who had been trained, immediately recognized them, two of which were the 38-type rifles of the Japanese type, and one was obviously modified and equipped with a scope similar to that of the Mauser rifle.
As an intelligence officer, you must master the knowledge of various guns and weapons, so Jiang Feng and his teammates have fought this kind of gun during training, which is accurate, penetrating, and long-range, the biggest advantage is that it is too long, and the bullet power is not as good as the latest Type 1912 short rifle of the Wehrmacht, and the rate of fire is not as fast as the Type 12 rifle with a revolving bolt with a rear end lock. However, its long range and high accuracy are undoubtedly terrifying at this time, not to mention the installation of a scope! It was so expensive that even the Wehrmacht only sent 200 to Germany to equip a very small number of troops.
"Boss, this gun is really good." A bandit picked up a rifle and pointed it at the window and was about to make a gesture, Ma Feihu hurriedly scolded: "Don't mess around! Beware of the fire alarming the outside. This made Jiang Feng breathe a sigh of relief, if he looked out the window, he might find his small mirror.
Ma Feihu crossed his feet, and Zhengmei counted the 100,000 gold bars and the three of them couldn't take them away at all, so they simply contacted Zhao Bingjun to exchange them for gold bars to pay, but even so, there were hundreds, and the eyes of several bandits were green when they were placed on the table. After the bandit who played with the gun picked up one and tried it with his teeth, he said worriedly: "Boss, that Yang Qiu has been out since he came to Tianjin, and he finally came to Zhangyuan today, and he was protected by military police and foreigners all the way, so he couldn't start!" If it doesn't work out, I'm afraid the gold may have to be returned. ”
"!" Ma Feihu greedily looked at the golden eye and swallowed his saliva and said: "Load it up, wait for them to come out, Lao Tzu will shoot a few shots at the convoy, and it will be up to them to see if it will be done." Let's go to the dock immediately after the end, as long as we can come to Jinzhou Emperor Laozi, we don't have to be afraid. ”
"Huh." Several bandits all laughed, and immediately packed the gold with a cloth bag, and asked while frowning, "Boss, how many of us are there this time." ”
"Don't worry, yours are indispensable. When we go back, we'll get a few fucking songs. Ma Feihu and the bandits laughed wantonly, not noticing that the small mirror on the edge of the window had been put back, and more than a dozen team members who got the hint rushed into the store, first quickly covering the mouths of the shopkeeper and others, and then rushing to the second floor.
The sound of footsteps on the stairs made Ma Feihu jump up violently, and before he could understand what was going on, two black things smashed the glass window and flew in, and as soon as the thing hit the ground, a large amount of smoke was emitted, and in the blink of an eye, the visibility in the room dropped by a few percent.
"Not good!" Ma Feihu is worthy of being a bandit who has been outside the pass for more than ten years, knowing that it is inconvenient to use a rifle in the house, so he grabbed the pistol violently, but no matter how fast he was, he was still not as fast as Jiang Feng, who had been prepared a long time ago, only to hear a cracking sound from the window, and after hearing the sound of the window, the two flying knives had already been inserted into the throats of the two nearest bandits, and the blue blade was obviously fed with poison. Before the two bandits fell, he had already rolled in front of Ma Feihu, and the fierce triangular army thorn pierced into his arm.
The third bandit was not slow to react, grabbing a bag of gold and hiding behind the door to escape in chaos, but several sharp thorns pierced his chest through the wooden door.
It was said that it was long or short, and it was only half a minute from the smoke bomb thrown in, Jiang Feng had already controlled the situation in the house, if he didn't want to capture Ma Feihu alive, it might not take a few seconds to directly seal the throat with four bloody darts, so when people on the street saw the billowing smoke coming out of the house on the second floor and thought that it was on fire, Ma Feihu had already been put on a sack and taken away from the scene from the back window.
The thick smoke attracted the attention of the patrol police, and the patrol officers who had long been wide-eyed and afraid of an accident rushed to the scene, and a few British soldiers led the team, Jiang Feng saw this and quickly picked up two fragments of smoke bombs, and several team members grabbed the gold and disappeared into the labyrinthine alley through the back window, and the two Wehrmacht officers in charge of the aftermath saw that the British ** police took the initiative to hand over the military spurs, and the British did not embarrass them, because the rifle on the table and the location of the window have explained everything.
The stakes were very high, and the British ** police showed rare ability, and a few minutes later the rifle and a confiscated letter were delivered to the American captain in charge of security at the gate of Zhang Yuan, and the captain turned around and walked inside without delay.
At this time, Zhang Yuan's talks also came to an end, and Yang Qiu agreed to the last proposal in person, after the formation of the "National United Front" by the Kuomintang Socialist Party, the Kuomintang Party, and the United Party, even Yuan Shikai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, which means that the joint formation of the three-party cabinet is a foregone conclusion, plus his big presidential position, even after the draft constitution of the National Assembly is passed, Beiyang can occupy a very important position in the government.
In fact, he doesn't care about how many seats he occupies, what he cares about is that after the signing of this agreement, the most important time is finally in hand, as long as it can be delayed until May, the loan and equipment are all in place, Beiyang has enough confidence to fight this battle ()!
A few minutes later, Gu Weijun, Wu Tingfang, and others put the draft of the "National United Front Declaration" that had already been drafted in front of Yuan Shikai, Yang Qiu, and Song Jiaoren.
The happiest of these people is Soong Jiaoren, whose military strength is obviously inferior to that of the first two, and his connection and importance are beyond doubt, and the signing of the manifesto also means that the Kuomintang can gradually grow through political means and eventually achieve a truly republican system.
So when the declaration document was placed in front of him, he was the first to pick up the pen and prepare to make the payment, but just when the tip of the pen was about to touch the contract, Yang Qiu suddenly beckoned: "Wait." ”
"Chenhua, what are you?" Song Jiaoren was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand what he had in mind when he was very cooperative just now. Yang Qiu ignored his gaze, took the secret agreement from Murong Han from the hand of the dog Yangyi, and shook it to the people and reporters present: "This is the secret agreement handed over to me by this government, and I would like to ask the ministers to take a look at the contents of it." In a look of astonishment, the secret covenant was handed to the nearest Hangel.
In fact, when he said the words of the secret covenant of the "day", Yuan Shikai and the people of Beiyang had already changed their faces greatly, and Song Jiaoren was also very bad, Sun Wen was not unclear about what he did in the "day" book, so he also knew the existence of this secret agreement, but he didn't expect Yang Qiu to suddenly attack at this critical moment!
Yang Qiu's posture was straight and his face was angry: "Maybe you will find it strange why I showed this secret agreement, but I don't think there is any superfluity!" This contract is full of conditions that seriously damage the interests of our country, and will also seriously threaten the interests of legitimate businessmen of Britain, the United States, France and Germany in North China and Northeast China. I also hope that the President and Mr. Shunchu will include in the Declaration that they will not sign similar agreements in the future, and in this way ask the Provisional Congress to enact legislation to ensure the future of our government's "free" and independent foreign and economic policies. ”
The reporters exchanged heads and discussed what kind of contract actually made this young strongman care so much When their eyes turned to the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, they suddenly felt that something was wrong, because even Zhu Erdian, who claimed to never show joy and sorrow, frowned, and on the Beiyang side, it was even more silent, Yuan Shikai, who was still fierce just now, was pale, and there were faint traces of sweat on his sideburns in such a cold weather.
Liang Shiyi's heart was already cold, and Yang Shiqi hated it even more, so he couldn't immediately pounce on it, snatch the secret agreement, and then bite Yang Qiu to death! But no one dared to move, there were dozens of Chinese and foreign journalists, ministers from Britain, the United States and Germany, and hundreds of soldiers in charge of security.
Restrain each other!
Zhu Erdian was the last person to read the contract, in fact, he guessed it after Yang Qiu took it out, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart after reading it.
He didn't care that Japan took the opportunity to make money, and he didn't care that Japan wanted to get full Mongolian ambitions, and British interests were in the south. He was angry at the attitude of the Japanese government that privately wanted to bypass Britain and annex North China alone! Britain and Japan are allies! The emergence of this secret treaty will make France, the United States and Germany think that Britain has acquiesced to Japan's ambitions, and once the three countries withdraw from the banking syndicate and act unanimously against China, then Britain will have to face a pluralistic competition instead of the previous situation in which he has the final say!
In addition to the three countries, Tsar Nicholas II will certainly be furious, and that madman will stubbornly believe that it is Britain that connived at the annexation of Manchuria. Five years ago, because of the support for Japan, the relationship between Britain and Russia was very tense, and Russia even put the final negotiation place in the United States, and it was finally bridged by French mediation and loans worth hundreds of millions of pounds.
The United States is obviously also angry, in the Far East and even in the Pacific, the United States and Japan have never been collaborators, and Britain's help in building two dreadnoughts again has actually made the US government very dissatisfied, if it continues to allow Japan to annex Manchuria, Mongolia and even North China, Japan will be destined to have more warships, and a larger combined fleet will be the moment when the Nama Canal is still opened, and the United States is very worried about the safety of the West Coast and Hawaii.
Germany is also not happy, more "Japanese" warships into the Bohai Bay will seriously threaten the interests of Shandong, not to mention that this contract is worth five divisions of equipment, with this huge amount of arms, how can Germany sell its own weapons to Asia?
A small secret agreement, the aftermath caused by it is unimaginable, except for Yang Qiu can still grasp it, it is estimated that at this mutually restrictive moment, neither Yuan Shikai nor Song Jiaoren knows how serious its impact is ().
"I think His Excellency Yang Qiu is right, and the non-signing of this contract should be included in the Declaration." Hangel's words made Yuan Shikai's heart sink hard, and his eyes involuntarily turned to Zhu Erdian. (Meta Yuan Update)
Zhu Erdian is too familiar with him, and since Yang Qiu can get it, the Kuomintang and Beiyang must also know about the existence of this contract, so after seeing his gaze, he guessed that this person was likely to have signed it! In another place, he might have endured this breath and even directly ordered Yang Qiu to be killed, but now, he could only get up slowly: "Everyone, my body is a little unwell, I need to leave first." ”
Not feeling well?
How could you be unwell when you were fine just now! This explanation obviously stimulated the reporters' curiosity, and they all wanted to know what was written in the secret agreement, and the American captain who reported the letter also arrived, and all eyes were focused on Yuan Shikai, who was already stunned.
Yuan Shikai had never had this kind of experience, and those little eyes seemed to have shrunk into silver needles! Since he was a child, he has calculated step by step, Li Hongzhang, Liang Qichao, Cixi to the recent drama of forcing the palace, although there are ups and downs, most of them have succeeded, only two misses, the first time is Hubei, the second time is one, now! It was as if he had become a fish on a board! In the past, this position was clearly arranged by him for others, and what was even more terrifying was that he was the opponent twice, a young man who he still couldn't see clearly.
He couldn't even be angry, he couldn't think about the shame of being played for two months! Signing the Declaration means that he will be a traitor once the secret agreement is discovered! If you don't sign, you're still a traitor!
"Poof." Yuan Shikai's short and fat body finally failed to withstand the psychological pressure, and the moment he fell to the ground, there were countless pairs of angry eyes from Beiyang, and they were slapped hard in front of countless eyes in front of the public!
Yang Qiu looked at ...... coldly!.
