Chapter 107 Concept
Petrograd,
In the office building of the Chinese Embassy in Russia, Tuesday gradually accelerated its work at a variable pace. People put aside personal chores for the time being and devote their main energy to public affairs. At the beginning, they were bound to do some business work such as opening emails, collecting and sorting out various short notes and messages. Of course, more employees are dealing with overseas Chinese civil affairs. Now Russia can almost be said to be China's most important trading partner. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese businessmen run all kinds of businesses in Russia. The gathering of merchants naturally brings an inevitable thing - the increase of overseas Chinese affairs.
Because of the increase in overseas Chinese affairs, the embassy in Russia has to repeatedly ask for more staff in China. At the same time, it has increased the number of employees and even mobilized other personnel in the embassy to deal with these overseas Chinese affairs.
However, for some staff in the embassy, they will never spend all their time dealing with ordinary things, or they will not be able to participate in "ordinary embassy affairs" such as overseas Chinese, such as the Intelligence Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Intelligence Office of the Imperial Intelligence Agency in Russia as the "master". For another example, the military attaché office of the Emperor [***] Affairs Bureau in Russia. As a country that attaches great importance to intelligence work, intelligence officers and intelligence officers are the staff of almost every embassy and consulate abroad. They collect military, political, economic intelligence, etc. in the country where they are stationed, and any information that is useful to the country. They will all collect. Similarly, they will develop an intelligence network in Russia and use this intelligence network to serve themselves. Compared with many ordinary Ministry of Foreign Affairs employees, their work is busier and they almost never have any rest time.
At 9:30, Wang Qingfeng was walking to the floor where Hu Kexun worked in the Military Intelligence Department. He looked out of the window at the square outside the embassy downstairs. The late staff were walking lazily towards their respective destinations. The weather was sunny and cloudy, and a few clouds galloped in the high blue sky, followed by dark clouds rolling.
He looked at the scene in front of him and unconsciously stopped to go upstairs. The square looks... something's wrong?
The "mankeeper" is gone.
"The caretkeeper" is his name for the "secret agent" of the Russian spy bureau. Because of the "famous" of the Chinese intelligence community, countries often strictly "watch" Chinese embassies abroad. Outside the embassy, there is a "watchman" almost every day. Like every "watch", they always hope that Through this kind of guard, we have caught some of China's handle, especially those engaged in intelligence work, in order to destroy China's intelligence network.
Today's strangeness made him stop in front of the closed door in front of Hu Kexun's office. After thinking for a moment, he knocked on the door, paused, pushed the door and entered. He entered Hu Kexun, the ostensibly military commander in Russia, who was actually the office of the intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Agency. He saw Hu Kexun frowned. A ball.
"Good morning, Qingfeng."
Hu Kexun greeted him.
"What's the latest news about the mantis?"
In the past few months, the intelligence services in Russia have jointly carried out a new strategy, and the protagonist of this strategy is the mantis, and now, things have finally made great progress.
"First of all, let's not talk about this. Did something happen today?
"Huh?"
Hu Kexun was stunned at first, and then asked in surprise.
"What? Is there any wind?"
"I just saw--"
Wang Qingfeng stopped talking.
He found that although there is cooperation, Colonel Hu in front of him is a difficult guy to really cooperate. After all, they do not belong to one system. As an intelligence officer, he clearly knows that the seemingly huge intelligence system, in fact, there will always be some feelings because it belongs to multiple systems. The entanglement in the newspaper, even if it is cooperation, it is difficult to really let go of cooperation. If it is not every month, your majesty will personally preside over an intelligence meeting, and there is also an intelligence staff office in the palace, which is responsible for coordinating and gathering the intelligence of all parties. I'm afraid that intelligence resources will cause serious resource waves because they belong to at least three systems. Fees.
"I just noticed it." Wang Qingfeng mentioned the strangeness he had seen before.
"The caretator in the square has disappeared? It's the old Caucasian!"
"Oh...that's it!"
Hu Kexun just answered softly and then said.
"You should know that we are allies with the Russians now?"
"I remember that he was there yesterday!"
Wang Qingfeng frowned at him. As an intelligence officer, he must suspect all the abnormal phenomena.
"Now, he is gone, which is very doubtful."
"Maybe they don't have enough manpower!"
Compared with Wang Qingfeng's caution, Hu Kexun seems to be very indifferent!
"The strange old man with a sign."
He turned around and stood up in the chair, then walked to the window and looked out. Sure enough, he couldn't see the spy's figure.
"It's just an object that doesn't deserve attention?"
"Anything unusual must arouse our vigilance!"
Wang Qingfeng reminded him.
"Follow? Of course, maybe! We need to pay attention to some abnormal things, but, my friend, don't forget that we still have more important things now. How is the infiltration plan implemented two years ago? How is the "mantis" going? And why haven't our people come to the mantis until now? I think this is what we need to pay attention to now!"
Hu Kexun whispered slowly, while he put on what he was concerned about from time to time.
"As for the old Caucasian old man, he is just a spy. You know, what's the use of those Russian spy? We have built our network here for a long time, but they haven't found anything. Don't forget what kind of country it is.
After a pause, Hu Kexun just said:
"This is just a big prison for all ethnic groups. For such a prison, there are too many dissatisfied people. Compared with us, now they need to pay more attention to those revolutionaries, such as Umyyanov in Switzerland. I remember that the intelligence officials at the Swiss embassy told us that the German intelligence agency, You have started to contact them, right?
While talking, Hu Kexun raised his voice slightly. In the past two years, the tasks have been almost one after another. Just a few weeks ago, a new task fell on him. The intelligence agency asked him to get a new version of the map, not one, not A few, but all of them, the latest version of the military maps of the Surveying and Mapping Department of the Imperial Russian Army Department, can get as much as they can. Some of them have been obtained through the expeditionary force headquarters, but compared with Russia, those maps are not worth mentioning at all.
"Yes,"
Break the silence loudly, Wang Qingfeng said.
"Germany obviously hopes to take another way to end the conflict with Russia. The German emperor once appreciated General Akashi Motojiro's strategic actions in Russia during the Russian War, so it is not surprising that the Germans tried to do the same thing."
"It doesn't sound strange, but..."
Raising his voice, Hu Kexun smiled and then squeezed his eyes and said.
"But why do we have to do the same thing?"
A rhetorical question made Wang Qingfeng stunned. He looked at Colonel Hu in surprise. How could he consider this seemingly honest officer? As an intelligence officer, he needs to be questioned, but he must not question his mission, and he is also a royal officer.
"And what else?"
Wang Qingfeng asked tentatively.
"These problems are not what we need to consider, but as foreign intelligence personnel, we must fully consider every possibility. Although we still don't know what Nanjing is going to do, I believe a little..."
Hu Kexun's hand pointed out of the window.
"Compared with our current mission and Nanjing's strategy, that spy is not worth mentioning. Perhaps we are creating an unprecedented history. Of course, this may be different from Akashi, and our name is unknown."
At this time, there was a strong mission in Hu Kexun's voice.
"But believe me, our achievements will last forever. You, me and everyone here will definitely witness an unprecedented history. I believe that I have this intuition!"
Sense of mission and ideals. It can be said that for many royal officers, in addition to loyalty, they are more full of ideals and a sense of mission. That army built this country with a sense of mission and ideals!
"Witness an unprecedented history?"
His words only stunned Wang Qingfeng, but his mind came to what he said many years ago, when he was studying in Germany, his teacher, a former official of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said, to be precise, what the German Emperor Wilhelm II said during the Russian War.
"... Russia's conclusion of peace treaties after successive defeats will lose its palace prestige. It may kill the Tsar, and may also lead to the destruction of the monarchy and the creation of new people. This new system in the barbaric and backward Russia... will show a completely different terrorist aspect from civilized society. ......"
Is it... Thinking of the chaos in Russia and the propaganda of "letting the national political axe fail" carried out by the Bolsheviks, and considering the position of the political axe on "mantis", he seems to understand something. On the word "mantis", he instinctively reacted to "the mantis catches the cicada!", that is also Xu... Suddenly, Wang Qingfeng seemed to understand something, so he said to Hu Kexun.
"Coloe, according to the information we received last night, the mantis has gone to Finland by train. If expected, they will go from Finland to Sweden!"
After hearing Wang Qingfeng's report, Hu Kexun was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he said.
"It seems that our move has succeeded, and that matter must be arranged as soon as possible, Qingfeng, you have to pay attention to this matter!"
After several days of bumps, Bei Yihui and his party finally arrived in Stockholm. Almost on the day he arrived in Stockholm, a neutral country, he began to act as planned. First, he visited the middleman Castoran, who was openly a lawyer, but in fact, he was a member of the intelligence organization of the German intelligence agency in Stockholm, but they were in the position of illegal activities. Suddenly, a stranger like Bei Yihui met, which was likely to cause the outside world. Doubt.
As part of the previous arrangement, Bei Yihui did not go to Castoran's home, but went directly to his law firm. He is a lawyer. As a lawyer, he naturally needs to receive some clients, especially those involving economic entanglements. Therefore, he went straight to the lawyer's office as agreed. When he, like an ordinary client, explained his "case" to him after waiting, Castoran, a Swedish lawyer who seemed to be in his fifties, answered directly after taking over the case description:
"Mr. Feng."
Bei Yihui's identity here is a Chinese businessman, not himself.
"This case is beyond my ability. I'm very sorry to disappoint you!"
The other party's answer only stunned Bei Yihui. He didn't know what had happened at all. Didn't he know what he was here for?
After leaving the lawyer, Bei Yihui only felt frustrated. As he walked, he meditated silently, thinking about how to maintain his revolution in the future. Those Russian revolutionaries are not necessarily richer than him. They may spend more money to support his revolution. They also need others. Support their revolution.
Walking on the street, it was already dark outside, and I always felt as if someone was following me behind me. Bei Yihui, who knew that he was the most wanted criminal of the political axe, was in the heart of a while! What matters is how to get rid of the other party's tracking... While thinking, walking. Suddenly, a bar appeared in front of him. Before thinking about it, Bei Yihui pushed the door and entered.
Just after he entered the door, as soon as he sat down and ordered a glass of wine in English, a man pushed the door open and came in, and the man sat next to him leisurely. Bei Yihui took a closer look. This is a gentleman-like man with a beard. He seems to be a little familiar... Yes, in Castoran's lawyer, he has seen this man, and he also seems to be a client. He looked forward and whispered:
"Mr. Yihui, in this city, there is a dense intelligence network of Russian spies, so everything should be careful..."
After a moment of silence, the man continued to drink while observing the situation around him. At this time, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and pulled out one. After lighting the cigarette with a match, before Bei Yihui could figure out what had happened, the man drank up the wine in the glass, and then did not He hesitated to pay and left the bar.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that man leave, Bei Yihui didn't even understand what had happened. He wanted to call the other party down, but he knew that he must not shout here, even for his own safety, but this person left like this, and didn't even leave him any contact information. What's going on? Shouldn't he... At this moment, he saw the box of matches on the bar. Looking at the box of half-open matches, Bei Yihui suddenly realized that he took out a cigarette, took a match and scratched it, and then smoked a cigarette contentedly. The man left, but he left him a message. To be precise, it was Message for the next meeting.
This is a match prepared for guests in a restaurant in Stockholm. If Bei Yihui's expectation is right, the other party will tell him that the real meeting place is in this restaurant.
Smoking, although he didn't know where the meeting was held in the restaurant, Bei Yihui still seemed very relaxed. At least this time in Stockholm, he did not come for nothing. Anyway, as long as he could meet those Germans, he was sure to persuade the Germans to support his revolution.
As for when, Bei Yihui believed that as long as he arrived at the hotel, the other party would naturally prepare everything. After smoking a cigarette, he left the bar and stopped a carriage. After telling the driver the name of the hotel, he took the carriage to the hotel.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Bei Yihui, like many foreigners, first opened a room, and then walked to the third floor under the guidance of a waiter. On the third floor, the waiter directly opened a room for him. When the door of the room was opened, Bei Yihui smelled the tobacco in the room.
"Hello, Mr. Bei Yihui!"
With greetings, a Westerner in his thirties came towards him.
"I'm Kabu, an official of the German Embassy in Sweden? Feng? " Tolman!"
"Hello, Mr. Tolman!"
Then the two sat down on the sofa, and then the two began to talk. Like most of the conversations with strangers in the past, Bei Yihui talked about his ideals and beliefs there, while Tolman listened more and said less. It was not until Bei Yihui finally stopped that Tolman looked at him and said: < /P>
"Mr. Bei Yihui, can you answer me a question?"
Tolman's words stunned Bei Yihui. He looked at the other party and said, "Of course!"
"Why do we fund your revolution? The strength of Japan has nothing to do with Germany!"
"Mr. Torman, do you know how many Japanese troops there are in Russia?"
Bei Yihui asked rhetorically. He said without waiting for Tolman to speak.
"There are nearly one million troops. If these troops refuse to fight against Germany, what will happen to the Eastern Front? I think Mr. Tolman knows better than me!"
Then, Bei Yihui said again.
"In the headquarters of the Expeditionary Force, there are also our comrades. I think we have the ability to provide some military information for your country. Maybe at that time, when you fight with this army, it will be smoother!"
When putting forward this suggestion, Bei Yihui did not consider the prestige of a political party. Once exposed, he must bear the bad reputation of betraying the country. For him, the most important thing is revolution. As for the country... Well, in the words of Russian revolutionaries, "proletarian revolutionaries have no motherland!" However, if there is no motherland, how can you betray the country?
