Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Tinglan ran in in a hurry, and after saying this, he noticed Shitian beside him. His expression suddenly changed, and a very forced smile appeared on his face: "Consul General Shitian, are you here too?"

Zhang Tinglan's face changed, but Shida's heart was even more violent. In fact, this operation was led by Okura Kihachiro and others. Shida didn't know about it. It was not until the assassination began that Kawashima Naniwa notified Shida. At that time, Shitian was shocked, and he hurried to the Shuai's mansion, wanting to see what happened to Lao Zhang.

In fact, Shi Tian suffered a lot from Zhang Zuolin's hands, but as a senior diplomat, Shi Tian's way of looking at problems is different from ordinary people. Zhang Zuolin has strength and also has anti-Japanese tendencies. This kind of person should be eradicated. It's the way of thinking of those elm heads in the military.

Shitian could see very clearly that Zhang Zuolin was not only unfriendly to Japan, but also ambitious, and even wanted to win the Central Plains. This is where Japan can take advantage of it. The greater the conflict between Feng and Beiyang, the more beneficial it is for Japan to divide and rule. It can even provoke a big war between the two sides, causing China to be completely torn apart and severely damaged.

On the contrary, getting Zhang Zuolin down prematurely, if replaced by a Beiyang person, would not be good for Japan.It is true that Zhang Zuolin has conflicts with Japan, but if he wants to compete with Beiyang, he has to use Japan's power. This is a point that Shitian is very sure of.

So he didn't want to kill Zhang Zuolin at this time. The last time the Kwantung Army was in trouble in southern Liaoning, Shitian didn't support it. It's just that Okura Kihachiro and others played a game of cutting first and then playing, and Shitian had to come over to wipe his ass.

It just so happened that at this time Zhang Tinglan said that there were still assassins alive, Shitian suddenly had his head buzzing, and secretly scolded Kawashima Naniwa for being an idiot, even if he couldn't kill Zhang Zuolin, he couldn't leave a clue.Isn't this stealing chickens and losing money!

Zhang Zuolin looked gloomy, glanced at Zhang Tinglan, and said indifferently: "Zhuoyan, the murderer has been killed, why are there still alive?"

"Seventh Lord, one of them did not die, but he lost too much blood. You also know that Fengtian is short of doctors and medicines. He might die at any time. We can only try our best to rescue him!"

"Zhang Sang. The doctors in the empire are highly skilled. Why don't you hand over the murderer to us for treatment. You can rest assured that your life will be saved."

Shi Tian interrupted at this time, he had been watching Zhang Tinglan's expression for a long time, and what he said in the end was obviously insincere.It's just perfunctory to himself, obviously the murderer's condition is not that bad.Maybe it can be saved.At that time, once the Japanese instigation is confessed, Japan will fall into a passive situation again.

Shi Tian is now full of hatred and fear, eager to take the murderer into his own hands, Zhang Zuolin sneered slightly: "Mr. Not staying."

Zhang Zuolin directly issued an order to evict the guest, so Shi Tian had no choice but to leave the Shuai's mansion full of doubts.Seeing Shi Tian leave.Lao Zhang pulled Zhang Tinglan past him, and hurriedly asked, "Zhuoyan, is what you said just now true or false?"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Seventh uncle, it can be said that it is half-truth and half-false. There is indeed a living, but that guy's life is hanging by a thread. I'm afraid I can't save him, and I can't pry his mouth open."

"Then you told Shitian on purpose?" Old Zhang rolled his eyes.He smiled and said, "Zhuoyan, are you harboring bad ideas?"

"Seventh Lord, the Japanese assassinated us, but we lack strong evidence in our hands. If the Japanese know that the murderer is still alive, do you think they will continue to send assassins?"

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?"

"Seventh Lord, are you asking me to do this?" 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 thing, and could only nod with a wry smile: "Anyway, I don't intend to let Liu Guang take risks on the battlefield, just 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 sparse. 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!" (To be continued...)
