In the office of the Governor's Palace, Lin Daxin looked at the information sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau about why the Germans went back on their word, sneered, and secretly said in his heart, none of these Western powers can be relied on, the Germans would rather choose Italy, the second or fifth boy, than choose themselves, there will be times when the Germans will cry in the future. Historically, during the First World War, Italy abandoned Germany and chose the Entente.

Lin Daxin threw this information aside, no longer thinking about the issue of alliance or non-alignment, he had no allies before, he didn't live in a chic way, and laid such a big foundation, now he should focus on the Russians! Grandma's, even expanded the army by 1 million, worthy of being a European steamroller, and 1 million as soon as it was shot, if it goes on like this, I don't know how many troops the Russians can expand in the end, and they will also force their northeast to carry out wartime mobilization.

You must know that the four northeastern provinces have also formulated a three-stage wartime mobilization plan, that is, the first phase of the wartime mobilization plan has been launched, and the four northeastern provinces will expand the army by 1.2 million with militia reservists within one month, but in this way, the construction of the entire northeast will slow down, and the agriculture and industry in the northeast will be affected, so Lin Daxin is expanding the army little by little, for fear of affecting the normal construction of the northeast.

However, I don't need to worry too much, the 1 million troops that Russia has expanded will take at least a lot of time, and now the 2 million troops of Russia's last expansion have not all arrived in the Siberian theater, after all, it only relies on a railway to transport troops, and the speed is not much faster.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office, "Come in!" Lin Daxin shouted.

An adjutant from the Governor's Mansion pushed the door open and walked in, "Boss." There was an urgent telegram from the front line in Svobodne! ”

When Lin Daxin heard this, he hurriedly took it and took a look, and with a "snap-" sound, Lin Daxin slapped the table fiercely, and shouted angrily: "How can this be true!" It's just anti-heaven! Go -- bring me Shen Peng, director of the Secret Bureau, and Wang Yan, chief executive of Northeast China! Let them come here right away, right away! ”

Soon Wang Yan and Shen Peng hurried to the office of Lin Daxin, the governor's mansion, and Lin Daxin said with a straight face: "Look at the telegram sent from the front!" ”

After Wang Yan and Shen Peng finished reading it. Surprised and angry, it turned out that this telegram was sent by Yu Lichen, the commander of the 14th Division of the Dingbei Army, the commander of the defense system of Svobodny, and it said a terrible thing, in a batch of supplies transported from the northeast rear to the front line of Svobodney, there was a very big problem. Among the cotton clothes sent to the soldiers inside, there was not much cotton in them, and they could not protect themselves from the cold at all, and even some of the cotton clothes did not have cotton at all, and they were all filled with straw. How can you fight in the Far East at minus 30 degrees Celsius in such cotton clothes, not to mention fighting, you can't stand it for a while outside.

In addition, some of the rice sent to the front line in Svobodne turned out to be moldy rice, and as soon as the rice bag was opened, there was a pungent smell, which made the officers and soldiers on the front line dare not eat it at all, for fear of eating something wrong.

Yu Lichen, the commander of the 14th Division of the Dingbei Army, said at the end of the telegram that if the future supplies were still like this. Without the attack of the Russian Second Siberian Front, Svobodny would have been in chaos without a fight.

Wang Yan said with a pale face: "Handsome, it must be strictly investigated." No matter who is involved, we must investigate to the end and see who is so bold that they dare to do something to the military supplies on the front line! But I am also responsible for this matter, it is my work that has not been done well, please punish the commander! ”

Wang Yan's rage is now full. A few days ago, he patted his chest with Lin Daxin and assured that there must be no problem with the supply on the front line. As a result, it was only a few days later, and something like this happened. It's definitely the rhythm of a slap in the face.

Lin Daxin said: "Cousin, you have dealt with so many things in one day, it is impossible to be exhaustive, and you can't know everything that the people below do, so don't take responsibility for this matter." The key now is to find out this matter clearly, and immediately transfer a batch of new cotton clothes and rice of good quality to the Svobodne front, and I have already sent a telegram to the troops on the Mongolian front and the Lena River front, asking them to check whether there is any problem with the supply of materials, and if there is a problem, the supply of the front line in the two directions must also be sent over as much as possible. ”

Wang Yan nodded and said, "I will immediately personally arrange a batch of new cotton clothes and rice to be sent to the front-line officers and soldiers in Svobodne!" If there is also a problem with the supply of the Mongolian front and the Lena front, new supplies must be sent as quickly as possible. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said: "On the front line in several directions, a lot of materials have been hoarded, in fact, there is no need to be so urgent, but this is a major matter related to the morale of the front line, if the soldiers know that the cotton clothes sent to them in the rear are made of straw and the rice is moldy, then where will there be any morale on the front line, how can we resist the Russian army that is several times the strength of our Dingbei Army!" ”

Wang Yanyan nodded solemnly: "Dashuai, I understand!" ”

Lin Daxin turned his head to Shen Peng and said: "Your Secrecy Bureau cooperated with the administrative department to investigate this bad case this time, I want to see who has the courage to dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, it's just impatient." ”

Shen Peng nodded and said: "Don't worry, principal, dare to do tricks on the supply of materials for our Dingbei Army, this is a provocation to us, and our Secret Bureau will definitely find out!" ”

Within 2 days, Wang Yan and Shen Peng came to the Governor's Mansion together, and in Lin Daxin's office, Wang Yan said with a gloomy face: "Dashuai, the cotton clothes filled with straw and the moldy rice have been checked!" ”

Lin Daxin asked, "What's going on?" Who did this to you? ”

Wang Yan sighed and said, "Alas, let Shen Peng say it!" ”

Lin Daxin turned his head to look at Shen Peng, the director of the Secret Bureau next to him.

Shen Peng saw Lin Daxin looking at him, and said without hesitation: "This incident is because someone in the middle used inferior cotton clothes and moldy rice to transfer the high-quality cotton clothes and rice delivered to the front line, and not only the supplies for the Svobodne front line were dropped, but the supplies for the Mongolian front line and the Lena River front line were also transferred!" ”

Wang Yan interjected: "I have resent a batch of cotton clothes and rice to the three fronts to minimize the impact of this incident on the morale of the frontline. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and asked, "Who did this?" There is no edge for the bold! ”

Wang Yan and Shen Peng glanced at each other, Wang Yan nodded to Shen Peng with a wry smile, meaning let Shen Peng say, anyway, Lin Daxin will know sooner or later.

Shen Peng then said: "Headmaster, the mastermind of this matter is your fourth cousin, Li Shicheng and his wife Yang Min. ”

Li Shicheng is the child of Lin Daxin's second uncle, 7 years older than Lin Daxin, and this year is already the year of establishment. After Lin Daxin became the governor of the four northeastern provinces, some relatives of Lin Daxin's own family, as well as relatives of Lin Daxin's mother, Mrs. Li, flocked to the northeast, ready to enjoy the treatment of a person who has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven.

Although Lin Daxin was very disgusted by this, he couldn't drive everyone away, after all, the situation in the Qing Dynasty was like this, paying attention to fighting tiger brothers and father-son soldiers, and paying attention to family power, these relatives who came to Lin Daxin were not all mediocre, so Lin Daxin arranged some positions for them appropriately.

In the past few years, Lin Daxin's relatives, in addition to Wang Yan, the chief executive of Northeast China, have also made a name for themselves in Lin Daxin's forces.

Lin Jianming, the commander of the 3111 Regiment of the 31st Division of the Dingbei Army, is Lin Daxin's cousin who did not have five suits, and in addition, in the Northeast Navy, a man named Li Sili, who is a few years older than Lin Daxin, is a member of the Li family, and Lin Daxin is also called his cousin according to his generation, and is currently serving as the captain of a fast protection cruiser.

And Shen Peng said that Lin Daxin's fourth cousin Li Shicheng is considered to be in the Northeast administrative system, the development is relatively good, the Northeast administrative system cadres are divided into the unit level, section level, department level, department level and provincial level, and there are principal and deputy cadres, at present the Northeast provincial level cadre is only Wang Yan. And Li Shicheng is already a deputy director under the Northeast Transportation Department, and the Transportation Department is responsible for deploying materials to the front line, so Li Shicheng has the opportunity to get up and down and contract the materials.

Lin Daxin slapped the table with a "snap-" and asked angrily, "Where are Li Shicheng and Yang Min?" ”

Shen Peng said: "We have been detained in the underground cell of the Secret Bureau, according to the confession of two people, because Yang Min's mother's brother gambled in his hometown and owed a large amount of usury, Yang Min's father begged her for help, she said that Li Shicheng was moved, and the idea of military supplies was also bought by her at a low price, and the cotton clothes and rice of good quality that were delivered to the front line were sold in a package." However, according to our investigation, the two of them have also done shoddy things before, transferring supplies to the front line, but not as much as this time. The husband and wife resold military supplies and illegally made a total profit of nearly 180,000 yuan. ”

180,000 yuan is equivalent to 180,000 taels of silver, and the current exchange rate between RMB and silver issued by Lin Daxin's Northeast People's Bank is 1 to 1.

Lin Daxin stood up angrily and said, "Go!" Go to the Secret Bureau! ”

Then Lin Daxin took Wang Yan, Shen Peng and a large group of security personnel to a row of cells under the Secret Bureau, and first came to the cell where Li Shicheng was held.

Lin Daxin's fourth cousin Li Shicheng saw Lin Daxin coming, and knelt in front of Lin Daxin, crying with a handful of snot and tears: "Cousin, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, please spare me this time!" ”

Lin Daxin sneered, "Wrong? My cousin, you are really good, don't you have enough money to spend? I know that you get tens of thousands of taels of silver every year from your family's business. (To be continued) R466
