The new Red Russian regime was terrifying and mysterious.
When the October Revolution was fired, all the great powers trembled.
They formed intervention armies to strangle Red Russia.
The same was true on the intelligence front.
Counselor Fangze once received a secret order from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to let He pays close attention to every move of the Russians in the Far East, so he takes this matter very seriously.
Today's Far East is turbulent and complicated.
The collapse of the Russian Empire has brought endless opportunities to the Japanese Empire.
Vladivostok, Harbin, Mongolia, and the Middle East Railway, these territories, colonies, spheres of influence, and assets that originally belonged to Russia have become coveted by Japan. target, now that Red Russian spies suddenly appear in Beijing, people can't help but think about it.
For the grand goal of the empire, both civilian officials and military personnel must do their best to investigate.
Recently, a large number of White Russian refugees have poured into China, and there must be many Red Russian spies among them.
After some discussions, Yoshizawa and Yamamoto planned to start the investigation from the White Russian refugees in Beijing, and at the same time put pressure on the Beiyang government, warning them not to make any small moves without telling Japan.
"Tomorrow I will visit His Excellency Duan Qirui and ask him to explain the whole story."
Fang Zejun said.
There were four tall soldiers standing at the gate of the training center of the participating armies.
They were all dressed in yellow military uniforms.
They were holding Japanese-made 30-year-old rifles, leggings and leather shoes, water bottles and bullet boxes.
Everything on them, even the fabrics and buttons of the military uniforms, were in disarray.
It was imported from Japan, and this huge expenditure also came from Japan's Nishizono loan.
These soldiers are different from the original Beiyang Army.
The soldiers are all healthy farm boys newly recruited from Anhui, Shandong, Henan and other places.
They received training from Japanese instructors.
They can be said to be the best of the best.
Their military pay is higher than that of the ordinary Beiyang Army.
If you want to be high, not only will you have plenty of food, but you can also make some meat and fish as a toothpaste every now and then, so you are naturally arrogant.
The soldier guarding the door saw an old man in a long robe and mandarin jacket strolling over, and immediately stopped him: "Stop, this is a stronghold of military aircraft.
You are not allowed to enter."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled kindly: "I am Duan Qirui."
"No one can do it, just stay away."
The big-headed soldier looked impatient.
The old man was not angry.
He took a few steps back and stood outside the cordon.
At this moment, an officer hurried over from behind.
His riding boots were shiny and his sword was clanging.
The three stars on the French epaulettes on his shoulders showed that he was an army colonel.
"Salute."
The guard guard immediately saluted with his gun, his waist straight and the spear thorn shining with cold light.
The colonel didn't even look at them and said respectfully to the old man: "Supervisor, please."
The old man smiled, nodded slightly in return to the saluting soldiers, and walked proudly into the gate of the training center of the participating army.
Looking at his vigorous steps, he was clearly a veteran of the military.
"Supervisor Duan Qirui."
Only then did the soldiers come to their senses.
It turned out that this old man was the former Prime Minister and the current military supervisor Duan.
He actually offended Supervisor Duan's authority.
Several soldiers couldn't help but sweat like rain.
In the office of the Chief of Staff of the participating army, Xu Shuzheng, dressed in military uniform, came out of the door and said with a smile: "The supervisor is here.

Your house has not been cleaned.
Come and sit with me first."
Duan Qirui entered the office, first talked about some training matters, and then asked: "Today the Japanese Minister Kohata Youyoshi came to visit me and mentioned the appearance of the Soviet and Russian emissaries in Beijing.
I wonder if Zheng Zheng knows about this."
Xu Shuzheng smiled and said: "Minister Xiaoban's news came very quickly, but it was completely wrong.
The person who came to Beijing was not the secret envoy of the Soviet Union, but the secret envoy of the Russian Provisional Government.
Their supreme leader wanted us to send troops to help and destroy the Soviet Union together. " As he spoke, he described yesterday's meeting with Andre in detail.
When talking about the two of them escaping from gunpoint, Duan Qirui sighed: "Again, Zheng, what you did was a little too much.
If the country does not cut off its troops, no matter whether the other party is the Provisional Government or the Soviet Union, we should just ignore it and wait and see what happens. " Xu Shuzheng walked to the wall, opened the curtain to reveal a large strategic map and said: "Supervisor, you see, a lot of our land in the north has been cut off by the Russians.
Now that Russia is in civil strife, it is a good opportunity for me to send troops to regain the lost land.
The Russians have always been greedy. sex, wolf Zi Zi’s ambitions, whether it is Soviet Russia or Tsarist Russia, will never deviate from their roots, so there is nothing to talk about with them.
This matter is confidential.
If Japan learns about it, it will definitely interfere with our country’s troop dispatch, so I think the best way is to let them disappear. ” Duan Qirui nodded slightly and said, "So, you are planning to use troops in the north."
Xu Shuzheng pointed to the map and said: "Supervisor, in this huge China, do we ever have areas under our direct control?"
Speaking of this, Duan Qirui couldn't help but feel sad.
Although he was the boss behind the Beiyang government, he had no direct control over the territory except Beijing.
Warlords were divided across the country, and the governors of each province were like local emperors.
They obeyed and secretly obeyed the central government's orders. , not to mention the southern government in Guangzhou, is on the same level as Beiyang.
Without territory, there is no income.
The Beiyang government's income is only a few pitiful items, such as the customs duties of Chongwenmen, the balance of the Boxer Indemnity, and the income from several railways.
All in all, it can only cover the expenses of government civil servants, and it is not enough to support the army.
In the sixth year of the Republic of China, Zhang Xun led troops to Beijing to support the restoration of the Qing emperor in the name of mediating conflicts between the government and the imperial court.
As the prime minister, he had no troops to dispatch.
In the end, he asked the pro-Japanese Cao Rulin to come forward and borrowed money from the Japanese Mitsubishi Consortium.
One million yen, did it again With a balance of half a million yuan, he bribed the wife of the Eighth Division Commander Li Changtai and asked her to persuade Li Changtai to send troops.
He also spent a large sum of money to invite Cao Kun's Third Division and Feng Yuxiang's Sixteenth Mixed Brigade to send troops. , and then Zhang Xun's five thousand braided soldiers were defeated.
After this battle, Duan Qirui became a hero in rebuilding the Republic.
At the same time, he also realized that if he wanted to do something big, he must have his own direct troops.
While he was dozing off, someone gave him a pillow.
Japanese businessman Nishizono Kizo secretly contacted Duan Qirui and borrowed tens of millions of yen on extremely favorable terms.
He borrowed tens of millions of yen and trained three divisions of elite combat troops.
As for the clothing, it was almost a replica of the Japanese army.
Even the horses pulling the artillery carriages were imported from Japan.
With this army in hand, Duan Qirui felt that he had some confidence.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "What you Zheng means is to regain Outer Mongolia."
Xu Shuzheng said ambitiously: "Not only Outer Mongolia, if conditions permit, I want to take advantage of the situation to recover Vladivostok, regain my homeland, and serve as a soldier.
This move can greatly strengthen the morale of China and the people, and unification of the country is just around the corner.
In fact, I have been planning for a long time."
This matter is serious and must not be leaked, so I took the plunge because of my humble position."
Duan Qirui said: "Thank you for your hard work again.
Just go ahead and do it.
I will cover it up for you from the Japanese.
The Russian emissary who escaped must be hunted down with all his strength."
Before I knew it, additional patrol police and plainclothes detectives were deployed at bus stations, train stations, and various city gates in Beijing.
Wanted posters were also posted on the walls.

Since there were no photos, the wanted posters contained two portraits printed on stone tablets.
It is obviously written by a famous painter, and the appearance and spirit of Andre and "Julian" are very vividly depicted.
Chen Zikun pulled a foreign cart out for investigation.
He walked back and forth at the city gate several times, and even stood in front of the wanted poster for a long time.
However, the patrol police and detectives next to him didn't even look at him because he looked handsome and stylish in the portrait.
The young man in a suit with a mustache was really far different from this slovenly coachman.
There is no danger for him, but what about Andre?
Although there are many foreigners in Beijing, most of them live in the Dongjiaomin Lane area.
When a foreigner with a tall nose and sunken eyes appears on the street, the police don't need to arrest him, and the people gather around to watch.
Chen Zikun returned to Ziguang Depot and discussed with Andre.
How to escape became the biggest problem.
After thinking about it, Chen Zikun thought of an acquaintance.
At the Liuguo Hotel, Yao Yilei hurriedly walked in, came to the front desk and asked, "Is Mr.
Solomon back?"
The waiter said: "Ms.
Yao, Mr.
Solomon didn't come back after he left yesterday."
Yao Yilei's face turned pale.
The incident of the gunfight in Anfu Hutong last night had spread among the elite circles in Beijing.
Those who were dissatisfied with the Anfu Clique were gloating over the misfortune.
Some said that Xu Shuzheng met an assassin, and some said that there was an internal fight.
But Yao Yilei You know, this shootout must be related to Julian.
She didn't dare to ask Xu Shuzheng directly, so she had to go to the Liuguo Hotel to find someone, but the news she got was so unsettling.
Could Mr.
Julian have died in Anfu Alley?
Although Miss Yao is a female prostitute, she has heard about things in the officialdom.
Although Uncle Xu looks smiling and polite on the surface, he is actually ruthless.
Beiyang General Lu Jianzhang was always giving Duan Qi Rui caused trouble and was invited to a small garden by Xu Shuzheng in the name of a banquet.
He was killed with one shot.
Even a great general could do this, let alone Mr.
Solomon.
Walking out uneasily, he happened to meet Lin Changmin and Lin Huiyin, father and daughter.
Because they were both students of Peihua Girls' High School, Lin Huiyin said hello politely: "Hello, Miss Yao."
"Hello Mr.
Lin, hello Miss Lin, who are you?"
Yao Yilei asked.
"Oh, I came to visit a friend."
Lin Changmin replied politely and coldly.
Although he and Yao Yilei's father are colleagues, one belongs to the research department and the other belongs to the new transportation department.
They have no contact with each other, so they don't want to talk more with Yao Yilei. .
But Yao Yilei asked: "Are you looking for Mr.
Solomon?
They were invited by Deputy Chief Xu last night and didn't come back."
Lin Changmin looked at his daughter in shock.
Apparently they had also heard about what happened in Anfu Hutong.

Lin Changmin was naturally more aware of Xu Shuzheng's ruthless methods than Yao Yilei.
He scanned the hotel lobby vigilantly.
Two guys wearing top hats were sitting on the sofa, with the brim of their hats lowered, pretending to read newspapers.
Next to the public telephone in the corner of the hall, a man was holding a microphone in his hand, but his hawk-like eyes were staring here. .
"Thank you, we are not here to see Mr.
Solomon."
Lin Changmin said, bowed slightly to salute Yao Yilei, and walked into the hotel with his daughter.
Yao Yilei was very disappointed.
When she encountered this kind of thing, she didn't even have anyone to talk to.
Those best friends only liked perfume from Paris, fur from outside the customs, diamonds from South Africa, and hair oil that made their face as shiny as powder.
They could write For a man who spoke in the vernacular, thinking of these things, she felt disappointed.
She left the Six Nations Hotel in low spirits, got into her car, and whispered: "Drive."
Suddenly, a waiter in a hotel uniform stepped forward quickly and whispered: "Miss Yao, I saw Mr.
Solomon."
Yao Yilei's eyes widened, she glanced at the door of the hotel warily, took out a ten-yuan bill and said, "Where is he?"
