Years of the Republic of China 1913

The leak of the incident not only made Fang Zida furious, but also Zhou Yuanliang, who took the lead, was even more furious.Fang Zida took him step by step from a small waiter back then to where he is today, and taught himself such an important task. The grace of cultivation is like rebuilding.In Zhou Yuanliang's heart, Fang Zida was his heaven. As long as Fang Zida said a word, Zhou Yuanliang would not frown even if he went through fire and water.Zhou Yuanliang, who was not Wuxia Ameng for a long time, knew the importance of the intelligence department. He was also very cautious in the arrangement of plans and actions. The personnel he selected were all his most trusted subordinates. Shortly after the question, the incident leaked.

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Yuanliang wanted to find out the person who leaked the secret. After Fang Zida left, Zhou Yuanliang started to investigate the inside.However, after checking and checking, nothing was found. Just when he was about to expand the scope of the investigation, Fang Zida suddenly gave an order to let him stop this matter and do not need to investigate further.

"Sir, why? Can you feel relieved if you don't find out this kind of person who eats inside and outside?" Zhou Yuanliang, who was in a hurry, didn't understand why Fang Zida gave such an order, and rushed to Fang Zida's place to ask.

Fang Zida smiled wryly and said: "The problem is not inside, and you can't find it even if you check it. San'er! I made a mistake yesterday. I'm being serious. Don't worry if you scold you a few times."

"Sir, what do you say, don't say you scold me, even if you beat me for a while, you won't have any complaints. But...what's going on with the leaking of secrets? Why don't you find out what's in my heart..."

"It's not our people who leaked the secret." Fang Zida sighed.

"It's not ours? Whose is it? How would they know about our actions?" Zhou Yuanliang asked back in surprise.The expression is highly tense.

Wave your hands.Fang Zida said: "You don't need to inquire about what's going on, tell the people below, stop the investigation, and don't make yourself panic. In addition, no matter what you do in the future, remember to be careful and careful. There is no secret to intelligence work, it is nothing more than four words-careful and confidential!"

Zhou Yuanliang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask anything, he agreed and left.After Zhou Yuanliang left.Fang Zida sighed helplessly, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

Indeed, Zhou Yuanliang couldn't be blamed for the leak, and it had nothing to do with Zhou Yuanliang's subordinates.As early as the establishment of the Ministry of Intelligence.Wang Shizhen noticed Fang Zida's attempt and secretly reported it to Yuan Shikai.Yuan Shikai has been able to hold the position of Beiyang boss for so many years, and his subordinates have already had their own intelligence team, but it is small in scale and extremely secretive.At the beginning, these spies were always in charge of Lu Jianzhang. Since Lu Jianzhang was transferred to the northwest to encircle and suppress Bailang, they were gradually handed over to Wang Shizhen, chief of the general staff.

Wang Shizhen is known as the Dragon of Beiyang, and his strategies and methods are far from those of Duan Qirui and others. After taking over Yuan Shikai's intelligence team.Although he did not expand his manpower, he did not relax the surveillance of the various factions in Beijing. On the contrary, he was much more meticulous than Lu Jianzhang.When he sensed Fang Zida's plan and learned from Zhu Sima's traces what Zhou Yuanliang and others were planning, or that there would be a big move, he hurriedly found Yuan Shikai and made a report.After Yuan Shikai listened to the report, he thought for a while, and instructed Wang Shizhen to follow up secretly. If it is not necessary, no action is allowed, and he only needs to monitor carefully.

Although, Zhou Yuanliang's actions were very secretive.However, due to lack of experience, he still showed some flaws in the action, and was known by Wang Shizhen.On the day when the Doihara Kenji incident happened, Wang Shizhen obtained first-hand information, and because of Yuan Shikai's instructions, he quietly erased some traces for Zhou Yuanliang, so as not to be discovered by the Japanese side.This is why Yuan Shikai knew the ins and outs of Fang Zida's matter.When Fang Zida was furious.Thinking that Zhou Yuanliang had a problem here, Wang Shizhen, authorized by Yuan Shikai, found Fang Zida in secret.Although he didn't say it clearly, a few words made Fang Zida understand what happened. After learning about the situation, Fang Zida immediately called Zhou Yuanliang to stop, and there was the scene where Zhou Yuanliang came to ask what happened just now.

"I really underestimated the heroes of the world!"

Fang Zida sighed, Yuan Shikai, Wang Shizhen and others can leave their names in history, which is far from being as simple as he imagined.Fortunately, it was Japan himself who was dealing with this time, and Yuan Shikai asked Wang Shizhen to help him secretly for Weng's son-in-law's sake, otherwise he really didn't know what the consequences would be.

After all, Fang Zida was only a businessman. Although he had advanced consciousness, some things were taken for granted.He learned a lot from a ditch, and he secretly warned himself not to underestimate the heroes of the world.

The matter in Japan was put on hold for the time being, because of this incident, Yuan Shikai also paid attention to the intelligence department built by Fang Zida.However, regarding this matter, his old Yuan neither approved nor opposed it. He turned his eyes and closed his eyes as if he didn't know. Nothing happened.However, the consequences of the incident still rang the alarm bell for Fang Zida. He paid more attention to the intelligence department, and asked Zhou Yuanliang to be more cautious and thorough in his work.

At the same time, as the European war was in full swing, the commercial negotiations between China and Tsarist Russia also entered the process.Authorized by Prime Minister Song Jiaoren, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted Tsarist Russia in advance on negotiation matters and conducted preliminary consultations.For Fang Zida's proposal, Tsarist Russia did not reject it outright, but went back and forth on the details. This situation gave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs great confidence. In the view of Cao Rulin, who presided over the negotiation, Tsarist Russia, which had always been arrogant, was willing to be humble Arguing with them, this means that Tsar Nicholas' life is indeed not very easy, and Tsarist Russia is very urgent for this commercial negotiation with China.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has always been a diplomacy of weak countries, showed a rare tough side this time.No matter how the representatives of Tsarist Russia bargained with China and promised many benefits, Cao Rulin, who had already negotiated with Fang Zida, was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, insisting that he would never relax his conditions.The two sides have been discussing back and forth for many days, seeing that the Chinese side is steadfastly refusing to budge. As the frontline war becomes more and more serious, the Russians really can't sit still, but they can only express that they can discuss it, and demand that the negotiations with China enter the final stage.

"Brother Cheng Ming, you can see for sure, the old man can't bear it anymore." The agreed time for the negotiation is coming soon, Fang Zida arrives at the venue just in time, and just as he gets off the car, he meets Cao Rulin who also came in time.

"Hehe, the key is Brother Runtian's credit. I heard that the old man can't even get angry when he hears that these days are fighting with the heroes, isn't it?" Fang Zida asked with a smile, and the two sides looked at each other and laughed at the same time stand up.

Stepping into the meeting place, the Russians had already arrived, and the one sitting in the center was the Russian ambassador to China, Kupensky. This veteran diplomat no longer had the domineering look on his face last year, and sat with a dignified expression. Quietly waiting for the arrival of Chinese negotiators.

Cao Rulin, as the chief negotiator, first greeted Kupensky with a smile, and then sat down at the other end of the table with Fang Zida and others.

"Your Excellency, can we start?" Kupensky asked in fluent Chinese.

"Of course, please!" Cao Rulin nodded with a smile, and raised his hand to signal Kupopenski.

He whispered an order to the staff around him, and soon the Russian side sent the draft agreement to the Chinese side.Fang Zida opened the agreement to carefully read the contents one by one, and then talked softly with Cao Rulin beside him.

"This agreement cannot be signed for the time being!" Half an hour later, Cao Rulin closed the agreement, put it on the table and pushed it towards the Russian side.

"Your Excellency, why is this! This is an agreement we have negotiated. Do you Chinese want to go back on your word?" Kupensky stood up in surprise, with his hands on the table, leaning forward with an angry look on his face .

"Of course not, Your Excellency, I'm afraid you have misunderstood." Cao Rulin said calmly, "The commercial content of the agreement was indeed negotiated by us, and the Chinese side has no doubts about this."

"Then why can't you sign!"

"Because there is still one missing."

"Missing one? What is it?" Kupensky asked anxiously.

"About Outer Mongolia." Cao Rulin tapped his finger on the table and said: "We hope that your country can add an article to the agreement. From the signing of this agreement, your country will cancel the 1913 "Russia-Mongolia Treaty" and deny foreign affairs. Mongolia's autonomy, and recognize Outer Mongolia as China's territory, and at the same time recall your country's representatives and garrisons in Outer Mongolia, and hand them over to China's fu for direct management."

"No! It's impossible!" Kupensky shouted with wide-eyed eyes and waved his fists, "You guys are blackmailing! It's blackmailing! My great Russia will never give in to this kind of blackmailing!"

"It's a pity. If you think so, we have nothing to say." Cao Rulin spread his hands and shrugged, nodded with Fang Zida beside him, and then stood up together.

"We in China hope that you can report this request to His Majesty Nicholas. If your country agrees to our request, this negotiation can continue. If your country refuses, hehe..." Fang Zida said with a faint smile, and turned around So I prepared to leave with Cao Rulin.

"No, no! You can't leave!" Seeing that Fang Zida and others were about to leave, Kupensky became anxious immediately. Tsar Nicholas placed great hopes in this negotiation, and he was under great pressure.If the agreement cannot be signed, Kuponsky will definitely have no good fruit when he returns to Russia.What's more, the war on the front line is becoming more and more severe, and it is now at the point where the life and death of Tsarist Russia has reached. He is full of anger at China's blackmail, but the signing of the agreement is even more important. At this time, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he has to hold back Now, we must sign the agreement.

"Your Excellency, please...please stay!" Kupensky never thought that one day he would bow his head to the yellow-skinned Chinese. He said with great difficulty: "I can convey your country's request to Your Majesty, but Before His Majesty replies, I hope the discussion will continue, is that okay?"
