Years of the Republic of China 1913

Yang Yongtai came out of the Office of the Premier of the State Council with a smile on his lips and brisk steps.On the way from the office to leaving the State Council, from time to time, important government officials greeted him, or struck up a few words of flattery. Yang Yongtai did not refuse, and he would nod and smile kindly to each other every time. He is in a good mood.

Compared with before, today's Yang Yongtai is no longer just a counselor next to Fang Zida, but a central figure who holds great power.From the perspective of KMT party status, he is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee. From the perspective of the government, Yang Yongtai, the secretary-general of the General Office of the State Council, also holds the important position of director of the Intelligence Bureau. These two identities are far inferior to the heads of various ministries. , but power is often not judged from the level of his position, especially the latter status, which has transformed him from a mere "big housekeeper" of the prime minister to an equal position with the heads of various ministries, otherwise he, Yang Yongtai, would not be like this these days scenery.

A small trick was used to make Fang Zida angrily remove Zhou Yuanliang's original position as the director of the Intelligence Bureau and replace him. This is Yang Yongtai's most proud stroke.Yang Yongtai, who became the director of the intelligence bureau, has mastered most of the power of the intelligence bureau in a short period of time, and gathered a group of subordinates who took refuge in him.What made him even more satisfied was that under Fang Zida's suppression, the former director Zhou Yuanliang did not confront him as he imagined, but actively cooperated, which made Yang Yongtai easily achieve his goal.

Of course, if Yang Yongtai is so complacent, even arrogant, it would be wrong.Who is Yang Yongtai?He is a wise man as famous as Yang Du, not only a theoretician in the KMT party.He is a qualified politician and can even be called a "politician".Zhou Yuanliang seemed depressed on the surface after losing his position as director general, and he was very cooperative in accepting the work of the Intelligence Bureau.But in Yang Yongtai's eyes, Zhou Yuanliang was just trying his luck this time. From the very beginning, Yang Yongtai never really trusted Zhou Yuanliang.

Zhou Yuanliang had followed Fang Zida for many years, and everyone knew that Fang Zida was loyal.What's more, from the beginning of the Secret Service to the establishment of the Intelligence Bureau, Zhou Yuanliang has worked hard during the period.Due to a momentary mistake, Zhou Yuanliang was secretly put on by Yang Yongtai.Temporarily losing his rights doesn't mean that Zhou Yuanliang will give up. Yang Yongtai is very clear about this. [

Now, Zhou Yuanliang is cooperating on the surface, but he is secretly unconvinced, and even engages in small tricks in private outside the intelligence bureau.Yang Yongtai had noticed this a long time ago, but he had never revealed it to anyone.

In Yang Yongtai's view, Zhou Yuanliang is a dog, a loyal dog beside Fang Zida.Yang Yongtai, who is well aware of the essence of strategy, is a rare smart person in China. As a loyal dog, Fang Zida will never give up.And Yang Yongtai's ability to take over the intelligence bureau was not only the result of planning, but also a fluke.

Although Fang Zida dismissed Zhou Yuanliang from his position, he still gave him great importance.This can be seen from the fact that Fang Zida let Yang Yongtai take over the post of director, but continued to let Zhou Yuanliang stay in the Intelligence Bureau, and even cooperated with Yang Yongtai in his work.Even Zhou Yuanliang's little tricks in private now probably got Fang Zida's tacit approval.From this point of view, in fact, from the very beginning.Fang Zida knew about Yang Yongtai's tricks, but he still followed Yang Yongtai's idea to help Yang withdraw from Zhou. This was just a balance of power.

Regardless of the cause or what happened, Yang Yongtai didn't care.What he cares about is that after ascending to the position of head of the Intelligence Bureau, Yang Yongtai will complete the transformation from a senior literati and counselor to a core of power.To put it bluntly, the position of director of the Intelligence Bureau was actually his springboard. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Yongtai stepped up to the sky in one step, and only then did he have the real power to be on an equal footing with the heads of various government ministries.

"Sir, where are you going now?" After leaving the State Council, Yang Yongtai got into his special car and asked softly when the driver and bodyguard closed the door for him.Unlike Zhou Yuanliang, Yang Yongtai doesn't like his subordinates to call him "Secretary" or "Boss". Both are renamed with the word "Mr".

"Go to the Ministry of Finance!" Yang Yongtai replied, and then slightly closed his eyes.Ever since he took over the work of the Intelligence Bureau, he found that it was far more complicated than himself. Today, he reported to Fang Zida about the intelligence work. The idea of ​​being able to go one step closer, especially in this sensitive period of the international situation.

If he wants to develop the existing intelligence work better, and even expand it to reach Fang Zida's goal, Yang Yongtai clearly understands that it is not just as simple as recruiting a few more people. Compared with Zhou Yuanliang, who is not well educated, Yang Yongtai His vision is much farther ahead than his, and he sees problems differently.Therefore, he planned to go to the Ministry of Finance to discuss with Yang Du, because no matter what he did, the word money was indispensable.

Yang Yongtai's car quickly left the State Council and drove towards the Ministry of Finance.When his car drove a few hundred meters, a black car slowly came from the other side of the street and stopped at the gate of the State Council.

The car door opened, and the person who got out of the car glanced in the direction Yang Yongtai was leaving, frowning slightly.Soon, he strode into the State Council and came to Fang Zida's office familiarly.

"Sir!" Zhou Yuanliang was brought into the office by the secretary. Seeing Fang Zida sitting at the desk and making a phone call, he came to the side and waited quietly. He didn't greet him respectfully until Fang Zida hung up the phone.

"Old Maozi is starting to move." Fang Zida said solemnly after hanging up the phone, Zhou Yuanliang did not avoid him, so Zhou Yuanliang overheard the call to Wu Peifu earlier.

"Meet Yang Changqing?"

"I saw his car." Zhou Yuanliang replied with a low eyebrow.

Nodding noncommittally, Fang Zida stopped asking, and picked up a report on the table: "This is the information just sent by Yang Changqing. The Soviet Red Army has formed an eastward front army and has begun to gather troops in the central region. Our time is running out." .”

"I heard the news." Although Zhou Yuanliang is not the director of the bureau now, he still has a foundation in the intelligence bureau.Yang Yongtai's information basically cannot be hidden from him, and some information even passed through Zhou Yuanliang's hands and then went to Yang Yongtai's side.Like intelligence about Russia.If it comes to specific information, Zhou Yuanliang is even clearer than Yang Yongtai.

But the director is the director, and Zhou Yuanliang didn't want to say more about this information, after all, it was Yang Yongtai himself who reported it to Fang Zida.Similarly, Zhou Yuanliang also knew what Fang Zida meant when he said this, and immediately took out a top-secret document from his purse and placed it in front of Fang Zida.

Looking at Zhou Yuanliang meaningfully, Fang Zida opened the file bag and picked up a few thin sheets of paper inside for a closer look.After a few glances, his expression became particularly dignified.The left hand subconsciously touched the cigar box on the side.

Taking a step forward, helping Fang Zida light a cigarette, Zhou Yuanliang continued to stand aside with his hands down.Fang Zida quickly finished reading the content, and then did not ask questions immediately, but smoked a cigar and thought silently.

"What do you think about this?" Fang Zida asked after a long time. [

"Dai Chunfeng's concerns are not unreasonable. He doesn't want to startle the enemy. After all, that is Hong Kong, and according to the information we have now, we haven't got the list of all the people yet."

"Hmm..." Fang Zida responded softly, looked up at Zhou Yuanliang, and signaled him to continue talking.

"However, sir, judging from the situation, Dai Chunfeng's handling method is safe, but I am worried that if the follow-up work is not effective, the monitoring will be out of control, and the consequences will be disastrous! After all, Bu Pai International's thoughts are well known to bewitch people, and I In the Republic of China, since Prime Minister Song formed a cabinet to Mr. So far. The country has gradually developed, and the society has gradually stabilized. There has been a new trend. But there are still many people who have prejudices against the government. Let’s not mention Sun Wen’s previous revolutionaries. The subversion of slogans is actually a problem in the heart of our government. There are also old and young survivors of the former Qing Dynasty, local soldiers who have been demobilized, gang organizations that have been cracked down by the government, and even immature students and young people who are easily agitated... ,"

"Are you worried that if the monitoring is not effective, the situation will get out of control?" Fang Zida asked.

Zhou Yuanliang nodded: "Yes! Yuan Liang has been in the Intelligence Bureau for a long time, and he has studied Russian affairs for a long time. Bolshevik doctrine is the easiest to incite people's hearts. Although both husband and Yuan Liang understand that their essence is not as great as the propaganda says, ordinary people How do you know?"

"Your thinking makes sense." Fang Zida stood up and walked a few steps in the room: "San'er, I'm very pleased that you can think about things like this. This shows that you are much more mature than before."

A warm current flowed through Zhou Yuanliang's heart, his eyes became moist immediately, and he said with a choked up voice, "Before, Yuanliang made Mr. troublesome, Mr. treated him kindly, and Yuanliang could never repay him in his life..."

Waving his hands, Fang Zida was very satisfied with Zhou Yuanliang's attitude. It seems that he borrowed Yang Yongtai to beat Zhou Yuanliang is still very useful. Now Zhou Yuanliang is more mature than before, and thinks about problems more carefully. , The hot boy.

"What Bolshevikism is and how powerful it is, I know better than you." Fang Zida said with a faint smile. To Zhou Yuanliang, this sentence was just a sentence of Mandarin, but only Fang Zida knew that his words could be said more than words. Anything is true.When it comes to who in the world understands the essence of Bolshevikism, and even its pros and cons, he Fang Zida said that no one dares to be the number one, and even Stalin may not know as well as Fang Zida.

"San'er, let me ask you a question."

"Please show me, sir..."

"Do you know Wang Mang?"

"Wang Mang?" Zhou Yuanliang was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized: "I know!"

"Where's Duke Zhou?"

"I know too!"

"Then there is a saying about Wang Mang and Duke Zhou, do you know what it is?"

"Mr. Hui, it should be the time when Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was courteous to the corporal. If he died at that time, who would know who will be loyal through the ages?""

"That's right, that's the sentence." Fang Zida smiled very satisfied: "It seems that you have indeed worked hard now, and you have read a lot of books."

"It's all about the master's teachings, Yuan Liang is just following in the footsteps of the master." Zhou Yuanliang replied modestly, and at the same time he was secretly proud.

"Then do you know the true meaning of this sentence?"

"Mr. Hui, these two sentences refer to Duke Zhou and Wang Mang. Duke Zhou is a minister of the Zhou Dynasty. King Zhou is young. Duke Zhou is a minister who monopolizes power and decides state affairs. At that time, everyone thought that he wanted to usurp the throne and stand on his own. Rumors abounded about this statement. Wang Mang was a minister of the Han Dynasty. He was clean, upright, and easy to make friends with servants. , The final results of these two people are completely different. Although Duke Zhou was subject to rumors, he was a loyal minister through the ages, but Wang Mang finally destroyed the Han Dynasty and replaced it, and was called a loyal minister through the ages by historians."

"That's right!" Fang Zida nodded and said, "So you can't just look at the surface when you look at the problem. Bolshevikism is not very good, but some of its philosophical theories are still somewhat sensible, especially the theory of contradiction. Just like Like the current Soviets, Stalin kept saying that he wanted to liberate all mankind and benefit the toiling masses, but these lies can only deceive people for a while, not forever. There are few sober people in this world, but many confused people, and Plenty of people who appear to be sane but are actually confused, or really sober and pretend to be confused. To achieve their goals, do nothing and do nothing. But if you solve the problem before they fail, what will others think ? Just like the sentence just now, if you die at that time, who will know who will be loyal through the ages!" [

Zhou Yuanliang stood there silently. After a long time, he sighed in admiration: "Mr. Yuanliang understands what Mr. means. It is not difficult to defeat and eliminate them, but they must first expose their true colors. Only in this way can the problem be completely solved." , and even if there are fish that slip through the net, as long as everyone understands their true colors, there will be no trouble."

"Hehe, you're right, you've made great progress!" Fang Zida smiled with satisfaction.

"However, sir, but what should be done specifically? Yuanliang is worried that there will be changes if the time is too long, and the second is also worried..." Zhou Yuanliang also felt embarrassed when he was happy. This kind of thing seems easy to say, but it is very difficult to do. , he was afraid that he would not be able to grasp it.

"You don't have to worry about this. It's not that there are no opportunities. If there is no opportunity, you can create an opportunity. Besides, there is an opportunity that you sent in front of you." Fang Zida said with a smile, and looked at the desk.

Zhou Yuanliang is a smart person, and he quickly understood what Fang Zida meant.Immediately excited, what Fang Zida said is right, there are opportunities, isn't the upcoming Russian Civil War the best opportunity before them?

"A propagandist in the West once said that a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. The Bolsheviks have mastered this trick, but they forget that a lie is a lie, and they will eventually expose it. Besides, we can also use this method. They If you use lies to confuse people, then we will use facts to enlighten the people. One point is true, nine points are false, and nine points are true and one point is false. Under the same propaganda, which one do you think is more likely to win? ?”

"I understand, sir!" Zhou Yuanliang suddenly realized, and nodded excitedly.
