"Lord Shitian, don't you think Zhang Zuolin's power has grown beyond imagination?"
"Mr. Okura, it's true. Zhang Zuolin expanded his army aggressively, but he barely purchased arms. He invested everywhere, but he didn't worry about money. In fact, Fengtian's financial situation is not good at all, and it is difficult to support him to do so many things.
The imperial government is also extremely concerned about this issue."
A smile appeared on Okura Kihachiro's face: "Shida-kun, we have recently found the answer, that is, trade with Russia includes both normal trade and smuggling. Zhang Zuolin is making huge profits from it. Only in this way can he make huge profits in the short term.
Amazing wealth was obtained."
Shitian remained calm and said with a smile: "It is indeed possible, but we must get evidence. Without real evidence, we cannot do anything to Zhang Zuolin."
"As long as you want to find it, the evidence is not too difficult. I got the news that a train was recently sent from Russia to Fengtian, which contained a large amount of gold and arms. You should know that during the war, the gold of various countries
They are all prohibited from being exported casually, and arms are strictly controlled. We are still allies with Russia, and we will never sit back and watch the Chinese do things that endanger our allies. The Empire of Japan must stand up and uphold justice."
As Okura Kihachiro spoke, his eyes showed a fierce light, as if he wanted to eat people. This old guy did have reason to hate Zhang Zuolin. He provided two million in activity funds to the Revolutionary Party, but the Revolutionary Party also
Before they could cause trouble, they were wiped out by Fengjun, and Okura's money became the spoils of war for Fengjun.
As a result, Feng Jun used the money to buy a large amount of arms from Japan. After knowing this situation, Okura Kihachiro was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. He regarded Zhang Zuolin's actions as the greatest humiliation to him. This old guy
He is the founder of the Okura Zaibatsu. He has strong connections and has been looking for opportunities to take revenge recently.
Therefore, a lot of manpower was used to investigate Lao Zhang everywhere. The intensive Sino-Russian trade was also under his supervision, so it is extremely normal for Wang Tieshan to feel a little bit of danger.
The old guy wanted to take the opportunity to kill Zhang Zuolin, but he didn't know that the devil was taller than the Taoist. Feng Jun was already aware of his actions, so the old guy would inevitably end up stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
"Mr. Okura, if this matter is true, we can indeed make a fuss about it, but I don't advocate exposing it directly. That will only harm others and not ourselves. Moreover, Tsarist Russia is also an enemy of the empire. There is nothing wrong with causing the Russians to lose some. The empire
We need to use this evidence to blackmail Zhang Zuolin, take control of the smuggling operation, and restrict the Feng army from using Russian-made equipment. We must make them use imperial equipment!"
Shitian dealt with Lao Zhang several times. He never got any advantage. On the contrary, he was depressed to death. However, as an excellent diplomat, he still clearly knew where the best interests of the Japanese Empire lay. Zhang Zuolin was just a minor trouble.
, Tsarist Russia, which had fought a war with Japan, was Japan's biggest threat.
Although they are standing in the same trench now, this alliance is not reliable at all. As long as the European War is over, Japan and Russia will inevitably clash over the three eastern provinces again, or even fight another Russo-Japanese War.
Therefore, when Shida heard the news, the first thing he thought of was how to weaken Russia and how to monopolize huge profits. Obviously, Shida’s ideas were different from Okura Kihachiro. Okura was only thinking about venting his anger and wanted to take the opportunity to rectify the situation.
Dead old Zhang.
The old man was also very shrewd. As long as he got hold of Zhang Zuolin, he could kill him at any time, so he nodded and agreed to the proposal of losing the land.
"Shitian-kun, what do you think we should do?"
"Zhang Zuolin is very cunning, just like a fox." Shitian said: "We have to send people to find out the situation clearly. If possible, I think it is best to act in a place where Zhang Zuolin cannot control, that is, after passing Changchun, we will act immediately
, so Zhang Zuolin will have no way to stand up."
There was also a hint of coldness in Shitian's words. He suffered a series of losses at the hands of Zhang Zuolin. This guy has learned to be smart. He might as well act where Lao Zhang's forces can't reach, so as to avoid accidents. Okura
Kihachiro also showed a proud smile.
Just a week later, a military column was speeding along the Middle East Road towards Fengtian. The person in charge of this military column was Xia Han. He was also a soldier of Fengjun. He participated in the carjacking operation and lost an arm during the battle.
, I can no longer continue to serve as a soldier.
For these veterans who were injured in battle, Zhang Tinglan always tried to treat them as favorably as possible. Xia Han was very flexible. He had driven a car for a Russian trading company in his early years and knew a little Russian. After understanding his expertise, Zhang Tinglan sent him to Xingye Trading
The company travels between China and Russia and is responsible for escorting goods.
Originally, the company only arranged a casual position for Xia Han for the purpose of giving preferential treatment to soldiers. Who would have expected that after changing careers, Xia Han became like a fish in water. He quickly became friends with the Russians, and as a result, he was promoted step by step in the company.
Adding up all kinds of income and dividends, he also has a fortune of 200,000 yuan.
Moreover, this guy also kidnapped two foreign girls who were fifteen or sixteen years old from Russia. All his old friends were envious.
The old and weak who were disbanded from the army, and some descendants of old brothers who died.
In his words, if there were no brothers who lived and died together, he would have lost his life long ago, so now he is not living for himself, but also for those brothers who have died, to live a wonderful and fruitful life
taste.
Originally, he no longer had to follow the train back and forth, but this time the mission was special and Xia Han had to personally take the helm. Although he didn't know the specific arrangements from above, he also felt something unusual. In the past, he was afraid of leaking information, but this time
This time, he would deliberately expose his flaws and leak the news, for fear that others would not know.
As the saying goes, abnormality is a demon, so he was a hundred times more careful and did not dare to neglect anything. The train passed through Heilongjiang and entered Harbin. At this time, Harbin was still within the scope of Jilin Province and was different from that of later generations.
same.
After arriving in Harbin, Xia Han felt strange. After years of fighting on the battlefield and crawling out of the dead, Xia Han had an unusual intuition about danger. After entering Jilin, the eyes of surveillance became more and more intense.
Come more and more.
When I was thinking about whether to report the situation and change the itinerary, a group of Russian policemen suddenly came to check the train. After a brief look, these people turned around and left without saying anything, but Xia Han
There is already an extra piece of paper in my hand, which is exactly the information sent from Fengtian.
Using Chinese people to deliver information will obviously attract others' attention, but it will reduce suspicions about the Russians. No one would have thought that the Russians would actually help the Chinese. Even if the Japanese wanted to break their brains, they would not have thought of this.
Yes, this is just preconceptions. How can a noble white man send a message to the Chinese people?
After Xia Han returned to the carriage, he read the note. He immediately knew what to do. Sure enough, Fengtian had done this intentionally, so he had to perform the trick well. The train was filled with coal.
After reaching the water, continue moving forward, the goal is Changchun.
This is the dividing line between the Middle East Road and the South Manchuria Railway, and it is also the dividing line between the spheres of influence of Japan and Russia. After a long night, at dawn, the train finally arrived in Changchun. At this moment, a large number of carriages suddenly appeared on the train.
At the station, Xia Han also directed his men to unload all the goods, load them onto the carriage, and immediately left the train station.
Their actions immediately caught the Japanese spies who had been monitoring the whole journey unprepared. This time the Japanese had basically determined that this train had what they wanted. The Japanese secretly assembled a squadron of railway guards and waited at Gongzhuling.
, they will take action as soon as the train leaves Changchun.
But the train stopped when it arrived in Changchun, and everything on the train was taken away. The Japanese spies were immediately furious. They were watching the cooked duck fly away! But they had very few people here.
Not being able to do anything really makes me anxious to death.
Seeing the panicked behavior of the Chinese who were responsible for escorting the people, the Japanese also concluded that there was definitely something wrong here, and they could not let it go easily. These little devils hurriedly asked their superiors for instructions.
The Japanese in charge of the operation were also dumbfounded. The opponent used horse-drawn carriages and the speed was very fast. By the time the Japanese arrived in Changchun, they would have already run away. Moreover, this was Chinese territory after all, and the Japanese army could only attack along the railway line.
Activities outside the railway will cause a lot of trouble.
This group of Japanese people were immediately anxious. A telegram asking for help was sent to Okura Kihachiro. The old guy was immediately shocked. Based on the current situation, it was obvious that Fengtian was aware of the Japanese actions. They wanted to
Escape early.
Okura frowned. He was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Zuolin these days. He didn't want to miss the opportunity. After thinking about it, he hurriedly sent a telegram to the Japanese office in Changchun, asking them to find the Japanese office stationed in Changchun as quickly as possible.
No matter how high the cost of his words, Gao Shibi asked Gao Shibi to take action and stop the convoy. All the goods must be detained, and no one, including the escorting personnel, could be let go.
"General Gao, I hope you can help me."
"Mr. Lincun, we are all old friends for many years. If you have anything to say, just say it!" Gao Shixiu said carelessly. This guy is the nephew of Meng Enyuan, the governor of Jilin. He is a general and confidant of Meng Enyuan. He is on the territory of Jilin.
To be honest, this guy had just hired a few female actors, and when they were fooling around, Lin Cunzheng came over.
If it were anyone else, Mr. Gao could slap him away, but the Japanese were different and could only treat him with a smile.
"General Gao, as you Chinese say, a person who is clear does not tell a secret. You help us stop a convoy and seize the people and materials. I will give you 500,000 yen for your hard work!" (To be continued!)
