Respectfully

Li Jinyan left the interrogation room. Since the dumb uncle said to leave it to him, he would naturally find a way to make this person speak.

Li Jinyan did not plan to keep Zhao Kangfeng just because the Zhao family was working for the Russians.However, Zhao Kangfeng's family has traveled around Chahar, Mongolia and Russia since Zhao Kangfeng's father's generation, and the relationship network they formed cannot be underestimated.He had to figure out how many "nails" the Zhao family had planted in the six northern provinces.

Sooner or later, these nails will grow into cancerous tumors and must be removed!The sooner the better!

As for the Zhao family's relationship network in Russia and Mongolia, it is of course good to have it. Li Jinyan doesn't care if he doesn't. Jebtsundamba is now "gloriously raised" in the capital, and the Mongolian princes also surrendered. Those who were killed were killed, no one could make much waves.As for Russia, the old empire will fall apart in less than two years, and the new regime will go through a long period of chaos. In such a situation, the Zhao family's network may not be able to play a big role.

What's more, with the presence of Marshal Lou, if you are not convinced, you can beat someone else's fist, who is afraid of whom.

"Speak less, this is the cell where Markov is held."

Several people stopped in front of a cell at the end of the corridor. This cell was considered a "famous" place in the Intelligence Bureau. Many spies were imprisoned. The conductor Mikhailov has even visited here, and now Markov or Maximilian has become a resident here again, and when he "retires", it is unknown who will be lucky enough to move in.

Xiao You pulled open the transom baffle on the door, and had a clear view of the indoor situation.

Markov stood on one knee and sat against the wall. His shirt was wrinkled like dried pickles, his face was covered with stubble, his hair was a mess, but there was no blood on his face, so he should not have suffered any skin trauma.

"Did you use Qiao Leshan and Ding Zhao's medicine?"

"Yes," Leopard replied, "It was used when he knocked him down at the station. After bringing him back, there was no torture at all, so we recruited them all."

"is it?"

Li Jinyan was noncommittal. Ever since he knew the true identity of this Markov, he always felt that this person must know much more than what he said.Such a person has no concept of country and nation at all. For him, real money may be more important than God.

This is a greedy and cunning desperado.

Judging from the confession obtained, he is very good at disguising. In China, his appearance is too conspicuous, but in Europe, with a few changes, his face can be well hidden.Even his employer probably didn't know what he looked like, which allowed him to successfully avoid being hunted down again and again.

Perhaps, they can take advantage of this...

A bold idea flashed through Li Jinyan's mind. He took a step back, motioned Xiao Youde and Leopard to get closer, and said to them, "This Markov is very cunning. It must be less than one-tenth of what he knows. Leopard, you will go to Qiao Leshan's laboratory in a while, invite him and Ding Zhao, and let them have a good 'talk' with this Markov. Also, the last time you talked with Markov What do you think of the David you went to the station with?"

"It's okay to talk and do things. If someone is watching, there shouldn't be any trouble."

That's enough.

Anyway, what he wants is not a real spy, but a shit-stirring stick who can use all kinds of intelligence to mess up Europe even more.For example, before the Battle of the Somme, the German army revealed news about the British "water tank".This is more "practicable" than his previous arrangement against several scammers.

Even if he is accidentally caught and confesses completely, whether the other party will believe his "truth" is still a matter of opinion.

Sometimes, the truth is more difficult to win people's trust than lies.

After leaving the Intelligence Bureau, Li Jinyan went to see Jiang Yulin, the head of the logistics department non-stop. The Yunnan Governor-General Long Yiting sent news that the first arms deal with "over there" had been negotiated. Two hundred rifles, each with fifty Bullets cost 25 to 30 yuan per rifle, and [-] yuan per thousand bullets.

Most of the rifles were made in Hanyang that were removed from the troops of the six northern provinces, and some of the Murata rifles were seized from the Japanese army.The wholesale price of the early 13-year-old models in Japan was only [-] to [-] yuan per rod, but now the resale price has increased several times. It can be seen that as long as you find the right buyer, the arms business is definitely a huge profit.

Jiang Yulin has been organizing people from the logistics department to work in the warehouse these days. According to what Li Jinyan said, no matter what the actual performance is, the things that are sold always look better.

"Yan Shao, fifty old sockets, fifty made by Hanyang, and one hundred Murata are all here." Jiang Yulin led Li Jinyan to an unsealed wooden box, "Tried it, There is generally no problem, except that the caliber of the Japanese gun and the old Hanyang-made sleeve are different, and it took a lot of trouble to move the bullets."

Li Jinyan looked at the gun oil in the wooden box, and it looked like a rifle that was [-]% to [-]% new, as if seeing gold ingots with wings flying towards him tremblingly...

"Speak less?"

"Ah, it's okay!"

His thoughts were interrupted, Li Jinyan sneered twice, and secretly pinched himself, really losing money.

But how could he feel so good about making money while setting fire to the backyards of Brits and Frenchies?

After the inspection of the guns and ammunition was correct, they were loaded onto the train the next day.Although the road construction movement has been vigorously carried out for more than a year and nearly two years, due to the current industrial level and terrain in China, it will take a long time to build a transportation network that runs through the country.The soldiers who are in charge of escorting can only take the train with the train, and the carriage without the train.

Fortunately, all the provinces along the way have been arranged in advance, and nothing extra happened along the way.

Along with this batch of rifles, one hundred submachine guns were also loaded onto the train. This was a gift fee given to Liu Fuxian, the governor of Sichuan, and Long Yiting, the governor of Yunnan.Tang Tingshan from Guizhou and Tang Guangren from Guangxi received two real boxes of Dayang.

Before giving the gift, Li Jinyan specially sent a telegram to Young Marshal Lou, and after confirming that there was no problem, he sent the gift away.Chinese people also pay attention to learning when giving gifts. Only when you send them ideas can you get twice the result with half the effort. If you encounter someone who can’t do things, it’s like flattering a tiger’s ass.

The train traveled from northeast to southwest all the way, and when it passed through Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, Yan Huaiyu and Ma Qingxiang even specially sent a team to escort them.Brother Bing didn't refuse, and took out the cigarettes and cans he had prepared in advance, "Brothers, if you share a share, it's a little bit of love."

For the soldiers in the six northern provinces, these are their usual rations, and it doesn't cost much to send them out decently.For the soldiers in the two provinces, the canned food and cigarettes produced in the six northern provinces are good things. Although Shangfeng doesn’t deduct military pay very much now, most of them still have to support their families, and they don’t have all kinds of supplies like the army in the six northern provinces. Naturally, he was reluctant to spend the money on subsidies.

Now that the food is delivered to you, no one is hypocritical. After accepting it, he patted the shoulder of Brother Bing of the Sixth Province of the North, "I will come to our territory in the future, go to my brother's house and let your sister-in-law cook you mutton noodles!"

After leaving Shaanxi, the team entered Sichuan, and then crossed a small area of ​​Guizhou before entering Yunnan.

The goods were delivered, and the gifts that should be given were also sent out. The soldiers were divided into two groups, one went to Vietnam along the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, and the other went to Burma with the disguised caravan of the Yunnan Army.

When Long Yiting and Liu Fuxian saw the gift from Li Jinyan, they were like seeing a half-dressed beauty with green eyes.

"Good stuff, this is really good stuff!"

Liu Fuxian picked up a submachine gun, pulled the bolt, and pulled the trigger. A stream of bullets hit a water tank outside the flower hall. But he laughed out loud. Song Qining used to show off to him because of the arsenal in his hand. The submachine guns produced by Liu Fuxian also made Liu Fuxian drool. It was rare to talk to him once. It was so dark!

Let's see how this old boy is showing off!

But this building is really generous.Liu Fuxian sat on the grand teacher's chair, thinking secretly that even the goods sold to Vietnam and Myanmar were not bad.The model is a bit old, and it is also made by Hanyang and Murata.Two years ago, many people in the Sichuan Army still used shotguns, and even carried guns from the Qing Dynasty.The Lou family sold these guns, which means that they have a lot of good products in their hands. If the business of outsiders is successful, the business of their own people can be better, right?

Long Yiting also had the same idea as Liu Fuxian.After receiving fifty charge invitations from Li Jinyan, and knowing that the boxes were made by Hanyang, Commander-in-Chief Long also made up his mind. Not only did he want to buy guns from the Lou family, but he also wanted to keep all the fifty Hanyang made guns. Come down and put on the Chasper that he bought from the Frenchman a few years ago.These Frenchmen are not a thing. They say they are new rifles, but they all turned out to be goods from decades ago. A few years ago, they had no choice but to make do with them. Now it is different. With such good things, it makes no sense to make them cheaper for outsiders. no?

Long Yiting was impatient, so he sent a telegram to the six northern provinces on the same day. When Li Jinyan saw this telegram, he couldn't make up his mind, so he simply forwarded it to Young Marshal Lou.

Marshal Lou's call back was very quick, and the content was very simple, just two words: "Ask Dad."

Ask President Lou?

Li Jinyan took the telegram and thought about it for a while, rolled his eyes, and finally figured out a clue. As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others. Even if the country is unified, warlords are still warlords, and the emperor is still the emperor. , no one is a roundworm in someone's stomach...

Thinking of this, Li Jinyan frowned. He really didn't expect that it was just an arms deal that would involve so many problems.

It's not easy for Huaxia to get to where it is today. If he is forced back to the original track by the inertia of history, he will have the intention of hitting the wall.

According to Young Marshal Lou's wishes, he sent the matter to the capital without delay. President Lou's reply was also very quick, and the telegram was also very concise. There were only two words more than Marshal Lou's telegram: "Promise them."

promise?

Li Jinyan scratched his head again. He didn't know what kind of maneuver these big shots were fighting with, but since the president had spoken, he would follow suit.

After asking Dad, Dad made a decision, will he cheat Dad... Probably not?

So, Jiang Yulin and others in the logistics department were busy again. In less than three days, the second batch of ammunition was loaded on the train, including [-] rifles, [-] machine guns, and two artillery pieces.

There seemed to be a lot of things, but there were armies from two provinces waiting to be distributed, with tens of thousands of soldiers. Throwing these things in, I'm afraid they wouldn't even make a splash.

But this shows the attitude of President Lou Da. As long as he is dedicated to serving the country, it doesn't matter if he wants guns or cannons or money!

"Lou Shengfeng's heart is wide enough." Long Yiting raised his eyebrows as he looked at the Qiwu Mountain Pao in front of him.Those who can gain a foothold in troubled times are not brainless fools.When he bought weapons with the six northern provinces, he may not have the intention of testing President Lou Da. Don’t look at hello, me, hello, everyone, these local emperors who occupy the provinces seem to have calmed down a lot, but who doesn’t have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts?

"It's good to be generous," Liu Fuxian and Long Yiting expressed the same emotion, "Even if I will be 'removed' in the future, I, Liu Fuxian, will be convinced!"

Think about the three horses in the Northwest who have become the pawns of the Lou family, Yan Huaiyu and Yuan Baoshan who jointly established the arsenal with the six northern provinces, plus Song Qining who has long been a die-hard member of the Lou family, and Sima Jun, Liu Fu, who is at ease as the director of supervision. Xian and Long Yiting, the two most powerful warlords in the southwest region, also made their own decisions.

The general trend of the world, the long-term must be united, take a step early, often can occupy more opportunities than those who are one step later.

Li Jinyan naturally didn't know how many clues were involved because of these weapons, he was not born to engage in politics.Anyway, the weapons had already been sent to the train, so it was useless for him to think about it.

"Speak less, Madam is calling from the capital."

When Mrs. Lou returned to Beijing, the fourth concubine was still in Chahar. Judging from the news she sent back to the capital, Dai Jiansheng did have someone outside, and the identity of this person seemed to be somewhat unknown.

On the day of arriving in Chahar, the fourth aunt realized that something was wrong. Although she was Miss Lou Wu's biological mother, she didn't need Mrs. Dai Guorao to receive her in person. , This only shows one thing, the Dai family has a guilty conscience!

The Fourth Concubine and Miss Lou Wu are not stupid, and the Fourth Concubine who has been with President Lou Da for many years always feels that this matter is not just as simple as setting up an outer room.With doubts in my heart, I immediately sent a telegram to Mrs. Lou. After receiving the telegram, Mrs. Lou also felt that something was wrong. The family is also a veteran of the Lou family, so they had to entrust this matter to Li Jinyan.

Li Jinyan read the telegrams, one head and two big, one thing after another, they all got mixed up.

But since Mrs. Lou explained it, he couldn't refuse.The most important thing is to find out the identity of the outer room first, so that we can follow the clues.The person sent to investigate this matter must be trustworthy. After all, this involves the in-laws of the Lou family. If they act unsafely or speak laxly, it will lead to even greater troubles.

Originally the most suitable person was Uncle Dumb, but Uncle Dumb is still dragged by Zhao Kangfeng's affairs. As for Xiao Youde, Dai Guorao and Dai Jiansheng both know him, so it is not suitable.Li Jinyan quickly thought of a suitable candidate.

Leopard was once again invited to the Marshal's Mansion. Hearing that Li Jin said he was going to send him to Rehe, he went back to prepare without saying a word.

"The dumb uncle next to Shao Yan is a capable person." Before leaving, Leopard said to Li Jinyan: "In just a few days, the guy surnamed Zhao spoke up, and now his relationship in the six northern provinces has basically been figured out. , I didn’t expect him to have an eyeliner around the governor of Chahar. As for Mongolia and Russia, it may take some time, but it’s coming soon. According to the current situation, the kid can’t last long.”

"En." Li Jinyan nodded, "You're gone, is there anyone here to take over?"

"Yes, it's all arranged."

"That's good."

As for who Leopard would arrange to take over, and what the person who took over would do, Li Jinyan didn't ask.

Not long after Leopard set off for Rehe, the dumb uncle cleaned out everything in Zhao Kangfeng's stomach. When Li Jinyan saw him again, he could hardly recognize that this was the same person from before.

"Are you still alive?"

Uncle Dumb nodded, and motioned to the Intelligence Bureau personnel to hand over the recorded statement to Li Jinyan. Li Jinyan turned it over and raised one eyebrow. The Zhao family had participated in the Russo-Japanese War, but Li Jinyan never thought about it. .

"He also provided the Russians with a lot of Japanese intelligence?"

Li Jinyan took two steps forward, Zhao Kangfeng raised his head just in time, the eyes of the two met, Li Jinyan didn't have much expression on his face, Zhao Kangfeng twitched the corners of his mouth, but his blood-stained face looked very ferocious.

Uncle Dumb picked up a pen and paper, wrote a line on the paper, and handed it to Li Jinyan.

"Keep him?" Li Jinyan frowned.

"Yes." Uncle Dumb continued to write, "Leaving him alive temporarily is of some use."

Li Jinyan pondered for a moment, he really didn't want to keep this person, but he had to think carefully about Uncle Dumb's proposal.Turning his head, he looked at Zhao Kangfeng who had been hung up again, "I still want to kill you."

"Ahem..." Zhao Kangfeng coughed a series of coughs as soon as he opened his mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and then he spoke more smoothly, "Third Young Master, I still say the same thing, I don't want to die."

Li Jinyan didn't make a decision on the spot, he still had to think about it.

But when Li Jinyan returned to the Marshal's Mansion, he learned another thing, Li Jinhua wanted to see him.

"see me?"

He wasn't sure what Li Jinhua's purpose was, to intercede for Zhao Kangfeng?If you were asking for love, you should have come long ago, right?

In the end, Li Jinyan decided to meet her.

While Li Jinhua was waiting for Li Jinyan's reply at home, a passenger ship with an American flag sailed through the sea and finally arrived in Qingdao.
