Fengxian Jiangshan

Lao Zhang showed a dazed look, and nodded with a smile: "It is indeed possible, this time I didn't catch the tongue, if the Japanese dare to do this, we will definitely not miss the opportunity, we must catch a living!"

Zhang Tinglan is also thinking about this idea. Assassinating a provincial official in Xinjiang is definitely not a trivial matter. Wasn’t the Sarajevo incident the trigger for the outbreak of World War I? A bullet from a Serbian youth triggered a world war. Although the Beiyang government Not necessarily daring to declare war on the Japanese, but this is also a big trouble, enough to make the Japanese burnt out.

As long as the Japanese feel strong pressure, maybe they will jump over the wall in a hurry. The more they struggle, the more flaws they will have. Zhang Tinglan smiled and said to Lao Zhang: "Seventh Lord, let's keep our eyes bright, except for looking for opportunities to catch In addition to living, they are also watching who the Japanese contact and what kind of relationship they use. Only by mastering this information can we guarantee future security."

Zhang Zuolin nodded approvingly, the Japanese had already started to kill him, so he had to be more careful in the future, no one could make fun of his own life.

"Actually, I have another suggestion, that is, we need to set up a special intelligence agency. We can't just be passively attacked, but also actively seek safety. Otherwise, if we can escape once, we may not be able to escape the next time."

"Zhuoyan, this idea is very good, can you tell me about the specific idea?"

"I think intelligence work should be divided into two parts. The first is military intelligence. When troops march to war, they must have enough spies. Otherwise, it is not enough to rely on battlefield investigation. The other is comprehensive intelligence, political, military, Economic, in short, all aspects of intelligence must be mastered, as a reference for making decisions. From the scope of responsibility, it can be divided into three categories, inside Fengtian, nationwide, and foreign, we must deploy intelligence personnel. "

Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan continued: "Commander, the Japanese are almost pervasive in China. It is a bad thing to see us clearly. From another point of view, it is also a good thing. Their stalls are too big. Who are you?" They are all taken in. We can put our own intelligence personnel in to understand the movements of the Japanese, not only in the three northeastern provinces, but also to the Japanese archipelago and North Korea. We can’t just let them stare at us, we have to against Japan."

Intelligence work has always been a weakness of the Beiyang warlords. They have no such awareness at all. During battles, clear telegrams are often used for battlefield mobilization.Not only did they not understand the international situation, but they also did not understand the domestic situation. They could neither see their opponents nor themselves clearly, so they were defeated in a daze.

Take the Huanggutun incident as an example, the planning was not rigorous.There are also many loopholes in it. If Lao Zhang has a powerful intelligence department in his hands, he can definitely avoid it.But it's a pity that Lao Zhang didn't realize the importance of intelligence, and only based on his own judgment of the Japanese government, he thought that they would not kill him.

Little do they know that the Japanese government is also divided into multiple factions. There is a relatively calm and restrained administrative group, but there is also a crazy military department, and there are more reckless middle- and lower-level officers.Zhang Tinglan proposed to set up an intelligence department at this time, just to make preparations in advance, and at the same time to plant some hidden seeds in Japan early.Save it for later use.

Lao Zhang thought for a while and said, "Zhuoyan, your method is not bad, but I can't think of a suitable candidate for a while. Who do you think is more suitable?"

"Master Seven, you didn't ask me to do this, did you?" Zhang Tinglan read Lao Zhang's thoughts from his eyes.Since it was proposed by Zhang Tinglan, let Zhang Tinglan manage this work.

But to be honest, Zhang Tinglan is not willing to be an intelligence chief.For the time being, Lao Zhang may not realize the importance of intelligence work.That's why he casually pushed it to Zhang Tinglan. Once he realized it, this position became very popular.

But throughout the ages, most intelligence chiefs have come to a bad end, and the characteristics of intelligence work have determined that it is too difficult for people in this system to climb up, and most of them can only hide in the dark for a lifetime.Zhang Tinglan doesn't want to be such a poisonous snake.

"Seventh uncle, this intelligence work is very important. Not only do you need to monitor outsiders, but you must not miss out on close ones. And you must be responsible only for you. The work is cumbersome and you must be careful. My nephew has a lot of other things, it is really difficult I don't have the energy to manage."

At this time, Lao Zhang also realized the importance of intelligence work. What Zhang Tinglan said was very vague, but Lao Zhang also understood that this intelligence organization will be like the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, and even these old brothers will secretly place people around them. , it is indeed inappropriate to entrust Zhang Tinglan with such a matter.

But after thinking about it, Lao Zhang found that there was no suitable candidate around him, and he couldn't help feeling distressed. He thought for a while and said, "Zhuoyan, let you and Zanyao make the preparations for the time being, and do the preparations well. Wait until I find a suitable candidate." The candidate, you hand it over!"

With a word from Lao Zhang, he temporarily handed over the task to Zhang Tinglan and Sun Liechen. Zhang Tinglan also readily accepted it. He knew the strength of the intelligence department. If he participated in the formation, he could leave his mark. He didn't want to be the leader of the intelligence department, but he had to be on guard. The calculation of the intelligence chief.

After discussing the important matter, Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, your horse is still our father's benefactor, you should take good care of it. But I have something to tell you, don't ride on that horse. The battlefield, or you will look good."

"Seventh Lord, why is this?"

"Hey, silly boy, the smarter a horse is, the more it knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Do you still dare to expect him to charge you in battle? Besides, your horse is too eye-catching. When it comes to the battlefield, the big guys will definitely throw their guns at you. Say hello to you."

Zhang Tinglan thought it was the same, so she could only nod with a wry smile: "Anyway, I don't intend to let Liu Guang take risks on the battlefield, so let's keep it like this."

Zhang Tinglan bid farewell to Lao Zhang, and went to arrange this trap. He first found three famous doctors in Fengtian City, two of them were Western doctors, and one was an old Chinese doctor. All three were invited to the Red Cross Hospital for a joint consultation. Outside the hospital, there is a watch every three steps, and a post every five steps. The defense is very tight, even surpassing the Marshal's Mansion.

The news was soon known by the Japanese. In fact, after Shita left the commander-in-chief, he invited Okura Kihachiro and Kawashima Naniwa over as quickly as possible, and told them about the matter. shocked.

"No, absolutely not, Date Junnosuke has promised me before the action, they will succeed if they fail, everyone has a poison sac hidden in their mouth, as long as they have a breath, they will bite the poison sac, Definitely won't get caught."

"Then you think Zhang Zuolin is acting with us, trying to trick us?"

Naniwa Kawashima didn't dare to make a guarantee, so he was a little hesitant. At this time, someone sent a message, and Shida's face became gloomy at that time, and he threw the things in front of Naniwa Kawashima.

"Take a good look, everything is secret, and Zhang Zuolin probably has a clue."

Naniwa Kawashima looked at it, and his face turned green immediately. This is the information sent by the Fengtian police officer. Indeed, an assassin was not killed, but passed out after being shot. He had no chance to bite the poison sac. He was sent to the hospital and is doing his best to save him. It is said that there is a high possibility of recovery.

Naniwa Kawashima finally couldn't sit still anymore. He took a closer look and found that the information was still credible. He was suddenly startled and frightened.Shi Tian stared at him with a dark face: "Mr. Kawashima, I told you not to engage in assassination, but you just didn't listen. Now something is wrong. As long as Zhang Zuolin gets the real evidence, I see how you explain it. Smear your face black!"

"Mr. Shitian, this time they are all warriors of the empire, and they will never confess."

"Stupid, do you still need to make a confession? It is enough to find out that you are Japanese, and then you can strictly investigate all the foreigners in Fengtian. Sooner or later, the finger will be pointed at the Kwantung Army."

"Then you have to take action to make this guy who is not worthy of being an imperial warrior shut up forever!"

Chapter 2 Self-Casting

The assassination of a high official in a province, and it was an organized and premeditated action by more than a dozen assassins, after what happened, it was a big event that shocked the world, and Fengtian public opinion was in an uproar.

Since Lao Zhang came to power, the people's lives have gradually improved, and the public security situation has improved unprecedentedly. The eighth uncle Qiu has also been restrained, the business has become more and more prosperous, and the investment in education has also increased. The common people can see a little hope, and Fengtian is getting better and better. At this time, Lao Zhang's safety has affected the hearts of all ordinary people.

After finally finding a wise leader, he was assassinated in the end. Everyone's anger can be imagined. After Zhang Zuolin returned to the Marshal's Mansion, he immediately issued a statement, stating that he was not injured, and now he is doing his best to track down the murderer.

Fengtian heard the news, and they all acted quickly, and the common people actively cooperated. A large net was spread out, and a dozen assassins did not appear out of thin air. With the deepening of the investigation, various clues were also found.

Some people said that they had seen this group of people, heard some of them speak Japanese, and the common people identified the murderer who was shot dead. This guy was a Japanese wanderer who used to make trouble on the street. Basically, it can be determined that the murderer is Japanese.

Of course, the Japanese can still deny it. After all, the evidence is not yet solid, and the Japanese can turn around and slander Fengtian for perjury.But the common people know very well in their hearts that this is what the Japanese did. The little devils just don't want the common people to live a better life, so they do everything possible to destroy it!

In fact, what the Japanese are most afraid of is this kind of resistance among the people. As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public. They can bully the government, but they cannot bully all the people.And this time the scale was a little out of the ordinary.First of all, people from all walks of life in Fengtian began to boycott Japanese products, and industrial and commercial groups also reduced their cooperation with the Japanese.

What's more terrible is that all the Chinese employees of some Japanese companies went on strike, the most important of which was the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company. The Benxi area is rich in coal and iron resources and has a natural advantage in developing the steel industry. Naturally, it cannot escape the eyes of the Japanese.

Before the smoke of the Russo-Japanese War had cleared, Kihachiro Okura went to Benxi to conduct surveys, and then transported a large number of machines to develop the coal and iron resources of Benxi.This kind of development action was not recognized by the Qing Dynasty, and the contract was not signed until five years later. The Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company was jointly established by China and Japan, each accounting for 50.00% of the shares.

But even though he won back half of the equity.But there is no doubt that the Japanese dominate this steel company, continuously providing various resources to Japan.Most of the Chinese workers in the company are low-level laborers.To endure all kinds of oppression.

Just a while ago, driven by Zhang Tinglan, all important factories in Fengtian abolished the top management system and replaced it with a more effective reward and punishment mechanism. The Fengtian government immediately announced the guidance on minimum wages, requiring all factories in Fengtian to raise wages.Guarantee the basic life of workers.

This kind of thing is the first time in Fengtian, and even China. All the workers are very happy, and the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company is also in this range.But the Japanese are firmly against it. In their eyes, the Chinese laborers are nothing more than a group of talking animals, who squeeze them crazily, and have no thought of improving their treatment.

The workers had accumulated a lot of anger for a long time, and now they finally had a chance to release it. The coal mine workers went on strike.Usually, these workers may be considered very humble, but after they went on strike, the effect was astonishing, and the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company suddenly fell into a semi-standstill.

This company is Kihachiro Okura's darling. When he saw that the company had stopped production, he was going to be mad, and then he used thugs to force the workers to return to work.But this time his calculation was wrong. Fengtian had already dispatched special military police to protect the workers.

And not only that, those laborers can also get a certain amount of compensation during the strike, so that they will not be hungry, and now the workers have a backer, and all of them will not go to work.

Okura Kihachiro knew very well that this was the Fengtian government's revenge, and the Japanese had become the biggest suspects. Now it was impossible to take tough measures against Zhang Zuolin, but if it dragged on like this, the daily losses would be an astronomical figure. Okura Kihachiro was full of enthusiasm anger.

And just at this time, the eyeliner arranged by Japan at the Red Cross Hospital got the information, it is said that the captured murderer has recovered his sanity and will be able to speak soon.The news was even more shocking, hitting Okura Kihachiro on the head, and the old man had to find Shitian again.

Kawashima Naniwa also stood aside dejectedly, it was he who planned the assassination operation, and now it has turned into this situation, which makes this old guy ashamed and ashamed to death.

Okura Kihachiro didn't want to talk to him at all, he just snorted, and then said to Shitian: "Mr. Consul General, last time you were firmly opposed to assassinating the captured guy, but now, we have no way out. Once Zhang Zuolin takes out the evidence he wants, we are all over."

"It's you who are done, and it has nothing to do with the Japanese government!" Disappointed, he said loudly, "Before you decided to assassinate, did you tell me and did I agree? When something went wrong, you found me." , I am serving the imperial government, not wiping your ass."

Shi Tian is also furious now, these idiots know superstitious force, and as a result, they don't pay attention to things that can't be solved by force.

"Mr. Okura, your assassination failed last time. Will you succeed in the assassination this time? If you are arrested again, what should you do?"

"Shita-kun, you will never be arrested." Kawashima Naniwa said: "I have found Date Junnosuke, and he was extremely ashamed because of his subordinate's failure, and even wanted to commit suicide by caesarean section, but I dissuaded him. There is also the final mission for him, which is to assassinate again, he has made all the preparations, and there will be absolutely no mistakes!"

Date Junnosuke is the leader of the Manchurian Death Squad and a Japanese soldier who has undergone rigorous training. He has a strong will and superb military skills. He is indeed the best candidate for assassination. Even if he is caught, he will not leak the news.

"Mr. Shitian, we have also reflected on the reasons for our failure last time. The main reason is that there are too many people and the composition is mixed, which weakens the combat effectiveness. We will definitely not miss this time."
