Chapter 193 Prepare for a rainy day

The passage from Shanghai to Wuchang was very smooth, and although the dry season in winter would affect the warships with a deep draft, he paused several times to wait for the high tide, but for the sake of safety, even Tang Shaoyi took care that he had to take the cruiser back ().

Yang Qiu went up the river without hurry, and also stayed in Dangtu County to inspect the construction of the new steel mill, Pan Tianzhu went to the United States to test the ore, the purchase of equipment has not yet returned, more than a dozen mining equipment and heavy tractors have arrived, the engineers who have taken off their military uniforms and the hired workers are making preliminary preparations, and the skilled workers needed by the steel mill have all been recruited and are interning in Hanyang.

With the rollout of the Southwest Railway, the demand for steel is getting bigger and bigger, Hubei Iron and Steel Plant has dropped to less than 50,000 tons this year because of technological transformation, and the huge gap all needs to be imported from the United States, which is a serious waste of valuable foreign exchange, but he has no way, Hubei wants to complete the transformation and put into full production at least until the end of 13 years, when Tu from the progress of 15 years ago, there is basically no need to hope. Because of the small scale of Chongqing and the equipment being transformed from the old Hanyang equipment with technical support provided by the United States, it can be put into operation at the end of 14 years, but the design output of the first phase there is only 50,000 tons, which can barely meet the needs of the Hanchuan Railway.

When Yang Du took Yuan Keding and Wang Jingwei to Wuchang, the warship had not yet passed Wuxue, so the anxious three rushed to Daye to wait for him, and after looking forward to it for two days, the Hairong finally slowly approached the ore wharf.

Daye, which was bought with blood and sacrifice, not only restored its heyday production, but also began to enter the fast lane with the purchase of more than a dozen new equipment, and the first batch of smelted copper ingots was being transported to Hanyang for storage when the warship was disembarked. In addition to the shells, eighty percent of the bullets made in Hanyang are still steel-shelled bullets, and the copper shell is really unaffordable, but it also allows the technical department to study the copper-clad steel technology, and he can't say how long it will take to see it.

Yuan Keding and Wang Jingwei, who came here for the first time, were greatly surprised by the prosperity of Daye, who had only heard that Yang Qiu had taken back Han Yeping when they were in Beijing, but they did not expect it to develop so quickly, which made the former's face even more gloomy.

"Brother Chenzi is really busy, he runs me here a few times a year, and I'm afraid it will cost a lot of travel expenses."

Yang Duxin said, If you don't make trouble, can I come? What's wrong with enjoying happiness comfortably in Beijing, and said with a smile: "Traveling every day, and being promoted every day, it's really incomparable." ”

Wang Jingwei is still a young man, not to mention the talent, the blood is also hotter than in the future, and he is not used to seeing the two chatting about useless topics, so he stepped forward and said: "Envoy, I am waiting for the envoy to go north this time, and the president hopes to consult you and Mr. Dunchu on the future of the country." When he spoke, Yuan Keding also stepped forward, although he didn't speak, he obviously didn't want the two to continue to talk about it.

Yang Qiu glanced at the two of them, in fact, there are really many talented young people in the Democratic Party, and Wang Jingwei is undoubtedly the best in terms of talent. And Yuan Keding himself is also very talented, and later he used fake newspapers to coax Yuan Shikai to be the emperor, and he didn't know if it was true or not, maybe because he broke his leg and was afraid that his status in the Yuan family would decline from now on. It's just that now he will definitely not let these things happen, since history has chosen the republic, then there is absolutely no possibility of going backwards! Even he had to be careful to maintain the still weak republic.

smiled and said: "Please Brother Ji Xin (Wang Jingwei), Brother Yuntai (Yuan Keding) tell the president on my behalf, Yang Mou, as the governor of the eight provinces, should obey the call of the central government, but now there are still some miscellaneous matters in hand, why don't you go to Tianjin in early January?" ”

At first, the two thought that he would not go north, after all, it was far away from the southwest, and safety was not guaranteed, but they didn't expect him to agree so comfortably and set a date. Yuan Keding was the happiest, and his every move had the posture of a "big prince", and he said: "It is naturally best for the patrol envoy to be willing to go to the meeting, and Keding will definitely meet him with his father when the time comes." ”

"Brother Yuntai is so polite."

After Yang Qiu politely set the date for going north, although Yang Du wanted to stay a few more days to get to know him better, Yuan Keding was in a hurry to go to Nanjing and Shanghai, and Wang Jingwei was originally going to study in France.

The news that Yang Qiu was determined to go north at the end of January made many people breathe a sigh of relief, but the undercurrent did not end. Soon after he returned to Wuchang, Fang Rui, who had returned from Guilin, had already placed a telegram secretly sent by Chen Haohui on the table. Compared with before going to Guilin, this 25-year-old intelligence deputy not only has a much darker complexion, but also has a more tough face, and it can be seen that Chen Haohui's original choice shocked him a lot, and even his laughing temper quietly disappeared.

The combat uniform of the Wehrmacht is a sand yellow imitation of the US Army in World War II, and the usual uniform is dark navy blue, and the heavy tone coupled with the nature of his work not only does not show the solemnity of a soldier, but gives Yang Qiu a gloomy feeling, and he wants to scratch his scalp to remind him not to forget how old he is.

"Commander, I suggest that you immediately steal this agreement and hand it over to the newspapers for publication, so that the people can see the true colors of some people!" Fang Rui's words were very excited, Yang Qiu could feel his anger, and even thought of how Chen Haohui felt when he sent this telegram back, but his face did not change at all, he just asked lightly, "Did he write it?" ”

Fang Rui shook his head: "Chen Qimei drafted the draft of the agreement on his behalf, and Tang Jiyao and Liu Cunhou also persuaded him to sign it many times, but he has not agreed yet, and it seems that he is considering the gains and losses." ”

"That's it."

In Fang Rui's surprised eyes, Yang Qiu stuffed this information that could cause an uproar into the bottom of the document next to him, and stared with his fingers crossed: "I know how you and Chen Haohui feel, but as an intelligence officer, you must learn to control your emotions anytime and anywhere!" Since he hasn't signed it yet, it means that his heart hasn't deviated yet, so this information is worthless! ”

Fang Rui was very puzzled by this theory, and even said in a somewhat angry tone: "But it is a fact that they want to reach an agreement with Japan!" ”

Yang Qiu was not angry, but walked to the filing cabinet next to him and took out another agreement and handed it to Fang Rui: "This is the Japanese patriarch Inu Yangyi asked someone to transfer it to me, you ()." After taking the agreement and reading it, Fang Rui gasped, this agreement clearly stated that if Yang Qiu promised to hand over Manmeng to Japan, he could get all the equipment of the five divisions and a loan of at least 50 million yen, and even offered the condition of building two cruisers at half price! Moreover, Japan pledged to do everything in its power to help complete the reunification of the 18 provinces of Kannai.

"I believe that we, the Kuomintang and Beiyang have all obtained this agreement." Yang Qiu pointed to the stool in front of the desk, poured a cup of tea for him after letting Fang Rui sit down, and continued: "So this kind of agreement doesn't mean anything, if it has any meaning, it's just Japan's evil intention to subvert and encroach on our country. ”

After coming back for so long, Yang Qiu had already understood how complicated the politics of this era was, and he couldn't simply judge anyone by one thing, so he stopped Fang Rui, who still wanted to speak, and continued: "From an unknown person to the leader of the overthrow of the Manchu Qing, although he did not directly participate, speaking of which is not as great as the credit of your people, but as an intelligence officer, you don't need to talk about him, you just need to record it faithfully." And his side has been filled with too many entanglements of interests, and many things have been involuntarily. What's more, let me ask you, if you are in his position, if you want to turn the tables in the gap between us and Beiyang, and want to clean up all the domestic forces and the European and American powers without relying on Japan? ”

Fang Rui opened his mouth and shook his head speechlessly.

"It is your job to faithfully spy on, record and analyze every piece of information, and I have no right to interfere, but it is not the responsibility of the Intelligence Division to carry it out! I hope you remember this phrase. After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he put aside the topic and took out a letter of appointment from the pile of documents: "This is the letter of appointment of the director of the National Security Bureau, and I have signed it to take effect." Originally, this position was reserved for Haohui, but he chose to go to Japan to do more important work, so you should take on his responsibility, and I hope you can be a pair of eyes for this country to always be vigilant. ”

Probably because the conversation was too solemn, Yang Qiu suddenly smiled and quipped: "Eyes widen and ears sharpened, I don't want one day we people to be forced to compromise with Japan." ”

Fang Rui put away the letter of appointment, nodded vigorously and stood up and saluted: "Please rest assured, Chairman, we will always keep our eyes wide and never close our ears, and we will not let go of any news that tries to endanger this country." ”

Hearing him change his title, Yang Qiu smiled and instructed: "Go to work, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me directly." In addition, Haohui's identity was immediately re-checked, his personal safety must be ensured, and a team of people was sent to Japan to cooperate with him. In addition to spying on Japan's intelligence in an all-round way, I hope that you will spare your men to go to Northeast China as soon as possible, and I need to know all about their activities in Northeast China, especially in Manchuria. ”

Chen Haohui's fake identity intelligence department had already dealt with it, but after being told to do so, Fang Rui decided to check it again in person, but he didn't understand Yang Qiu's desire to send someone to investigate an opposition party in Russia outside the border, and asked: "Chairman, we have very little information about the Bolsheviks, but from the preliminary information, what they advocate is also the construction of a new social system and the overthrow of the leadership of Tsarist Russia, and we have some convergence with us, so it stands to reason that the harm should not be very great." ”

"I watched it too." Yang Qiu pointed to the dozens of pages of Bolshevik materials next to him, many of which were obtained from Chinese in Europe and Japan, and of course more from Russian political prisoners who had been secretly brought in. He knew better than anyone of his time that the changes in the Bolsheviks and the depravity of power would lead to degrading, especially after the high concentration of all power, many of whom later underwent qualitative changes.

However, as he said just now, he didn't want to comment on anyone, he just wanted to protect this country, or the country he hoped to establish, so in order to deepen Fang Rui's impression, he made a serious face: "Not now does not mean that it will not be in the future, my country's northern border line is too long, if we can really achieve national unification, then we cannot face the two threats of Japan and Russia at the same time." ”

"And there are three separatist forces in Mongolia, Gansu, Huihui and Xinjiang! So you should remember that if one day we can really achieve the unification of the country, then we must plan for a rainy day from now on. Yang Qiu waved his hand very firmly: "Infiltrate them, support them to overthrow Tsarist Russia when they are weak, and corrupt and disintegrate them when they are strong, so that they can't withdraw from the Far East!" ”

"It's that simple!"
