After the tea was served, Fang Zida and Zhang Zongchang started chatting casually. Starting from the past when he ordered him to go to Jiangsu to take over the 8th Division, he gradually talked about the training, training and actual combat of the 38th Group last year. Then he asked some interesting things about the troops. As Fang Zida talked happily, Zhang Zongchang gradually lost his restraint, smiled on his face, and became much more relaxed. (No., pop-up window...... Chinese, Wen, Net

"I heard that Xiaokun can still write poetry?"

Fang Zida asked with a smile, and Zhang Zongchang's old face turned red immediately. He waved his hand and said, "Shame, Zongchang is a rough man, and he can only lead troops, but he can write any poems. He just makes a fool of himself with his friends after drinking."

"Haha, it's not easy to treat rumor as a poem, but Xiaokun, I'm a little strange. It's not difficult to write a few poems based on your Chinese studies. If you don't help, you can find a ruling to help the staff. I miss your dignified major general and the deputy commander of the 86th Division. You won't have such people around you, right?"

Fang Zida asked with interest, and even Zhou Yuanliang, who was sitting beside him, looked at Zhang Zongchang happily. Not to mention, many people have heard of General Zhang's reputation for writing poetry. As the leader of the secret service, Zhou Yuanliang knew this clearly.

The more Fang Zida asked, the more embarrassed Zhang Zongchang was. He held his face red for a long time before he replied, "I'm not hiding it from the president. If you really want Zongchang to write a few defamated poems like boiled water, it's not impossible to make up these things, but what's the use of tidying these things? It's not to satisfy your hunger or make a name for you. It's better to make some rumours. Zongchang wrote it easily, and it's also fun to listen to it. And you can still remember my name in the future, so why not do it?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Fang Zida was stunned at first, then laughed loudly. Zhou Yuanliang couldn't hold it in his mouth. He immediately sprayed out a mouthful of tea in his mouth. He held his stomach in his hands and smiled so much that it hurt. He shook his head at the serious Zhang Zongchang.

After talking and laughing for more than ten minutes, Fang Zida slowly began to get to the point and asked about Zhang Zongchang's experience of working in Tsarist Russia. After Zhang Zongchang talked about his in Siberia in detail, Fang Zida thought for a moment and asked, "Xiaokun, are you still in contact with Tsarist Russia now?"

When Zhang Zongchang heard this, he stood up nervously and said loudly: "Go back to the president! Zongchang has never contacted Tsarist Russia since he joined the revolution. Although Zongchang is not talented, he is a Chinese man who abides by the responsibility of keeping in mind the National Defense Forces and never dares to ………….”

Waving his hand, Fang Zida smiled and said, "No need to do this. I'm not pursuing anything. Besides, it's normal to have some contact with old friends in Tsarist Russia through personal relationships. Just like me, when I was in Europe, there were many friends in the German business world. Now our country and Germany are divided into two major camps, and they are both sides of war. But I have not cut off contact with old friends. What's more, there are still many German instructors in my Central Military Academy. If you say this, can't these instructors be arrested?"

"Yes, yes..." Zhang Zongchang nodded repeatedly, sat back at Fang Zida's gesture, hesitated for a while and finally said hesitantly: "To be honest with the president, Zongchang did not contact Tsarist Russia, but a few days ago, there were a few Belarusian friends who fled to our country from Siberia. But Zongchang could swear to heaven that they were all ordinary people, and they escaped from the country because Tsarist Russia couldn't survive the domestic coup. Zongchang just did his best to make friends, gave them some money, and sent them to settle down."

"That's right. People are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless? It's normal for you to do this. It's okay, it's okay..."

When Fang Zida did not pursue him, Zhang Zongchang breathed a sigh of relief. At first, he thought that he had taken in a few Belarusian friends and was so scared that he was so scared that he was thrusting his heart. But after thinking about it, he felt that even if the superiors wanted to pursue this kind of thing, he could arrest him with an order in Shandong. There was no need to let him go non-stop, let alone who Fang Zida was? Such a small thing could alarm him? So Zhang Zongchang finally decided to tell the truth. After hearing Fang Zida's answer, he was glad that he had the right bet.

"Tell me why you, the Belarusian friends, escaped? What is the situation in Tsarist Russia?"

Zhang Zongchang quickly conveyed the words of those Belarusian friends. According to their statement, as the European war became more and more intense, Tsarist coups occurred, the Tsar abdicated, and the provisional government came to power, but the domestic situation did not ease at all, but became worse. Especially in Siberia, many workers and farmers could no longer survive, and in addition to the social unrest, these people dragged their mouths to the Chinese border. The same was true for Zhang Zongchang's friends. They really couldn't survive, which was similar to the Chinese during the famine. They came to China to seek old friends in order to make a living.

"It seems that the situation in Tsarist Russia is not good--" Fang Zida said thoughtfully.

"That's true. Before Nicholas II abdicated, they would have been unable to support him without relying on our country's material support. Now Tsar mutual and our country have naturally interrupted a large number of materials. In this case, Siberia, which has no agricultural products produced except for industry and mines, wouldn't have famines." Zhou Yuanliang, as the leader of the intelligence network, was very clear about this and interrupted.

"Well..." Fang Zida nodded, put his right hand on the handrail, tapped his index finger gently, and said to Zhang Zongchang after a while: "If you were sent to the northeastern border, how sure do you have to gather the Russians?"

"This..." Zhang Zongchang didn't expect Fang Zida to ask this. After thinking about it, he said, "It is definitely no problem to gather people, at least thousands, at most tens of thousands, but what's the use of collecting these people? Do we still have to pay and feed them?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Fang Zida smiled and said, "In this way, Xiaokun, I will appoint you as a special commissioner, bring some people to the northeast to Fuyuan, and gather me up with the Russians who escaped there, the more the number, the better."

"Yes!" Zhang Zongchang agreed, and at the same time he was puzzled and asked in confusion: "President, why are you gathering this person?"

"I will use a part of it to select young and strong men to train them into an army in the future."

After hearing this, Zhang Zongchang was even more surprised. Why was it inexplicable? Is the local Zida going to use Russia to train the army? What exactly does this mean? But Fang Zida didn't tell the truth, and Zhang Zongchang didn't ask directly, but just asked about the organization and number of the army, as well as the training requirements.

According to Fang Zida's requirements, this army can be organized into a reorganized division, and the central government will not give it to the outside world, nor will it announce its possession. Even if Russia finds that Zhang Zongchang only deals with the other party in the name of the Expatriate Self-Defense Force at most. Anyway, there are more places to hide. As for funding, armament, logistics and other issues, it will be allocated internally by the Central Bank and handed over to the Secret Service and Zhang Zongchang. As a special envoy, Zhang Zongchang is not the military leader in name, but in fact he is the actual commander of this army and is directly responsible to Fang Zida.

"Reorganizer......This..." Zhang Zongchang was shocked. He knew very well how many reorganizers were, and was stunned for a moment.

Fang Zida thought Zhang Zongchang was worried about the issue of training and explained: "It is said to be a reorganized division, but the actual training does not require it to be based on the National Defense Forces. After all, this unit is not a national army, so it should be based on the standards of local troops."

"President, I'm not worried about this. The problem is that there are probably not so many people." Zhang Zongchang said frowningly. To be honest, Fang Zida was moved when he said this. He was just a deputy commander in the 86th Division. He could not be called on him. He had a chief of staff to control the staff. Although he was a higher status, he was actually not as powerful as the brigade commander below. If he could go to the Northeast to be his own, he would of course be happy. Besides, he could take this opportunity to embrace Fang Zida's thigh. How could Zhang Zongchang refuse such a good thing?

However, he also knew the situation in Tsarist Russia. Although there were many people who fled to China, Belarus and others, most of these people were young and old. Almost most of the young and strong people in Tsarist Russia were sent to the front line during the European war. In addition, Siberia was a place with a large area of ​​sparsely populated areas. It is estimated that there were not many young and middle-aged people who could use it. Together, they would probably be able to make up a brigade and make it last.

But Fang Zida opened his mouth and was just a reorganizer. With such a big gap, where did Zhang Zongchang go to find someone?

After raising this worry, Fang Zida immediately smiled: "Xiaokun, Xiaokun, can you put on the airs first, and you are full of people, why are you anxious? Are you planning to become fat in one go? Besides, you can also recruit some people locally. Tsarist Russia is not all Belarus. There are more ethnic groups in Tsarist Russia, including Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Mali, Kazakhstan, etc. Why bother with it? Besides, there are Tatars who look similar to our Chinese."

Zhang Zongchang suddenly realized and understood Fang Zida's meaning. He immediately smiled and said, "President, I know what to do. Don't worry, this matter is to Zongchang!"

"I don't worry if you do things!" Fang Zida stood up and patted Zhang Zongchang's shoulder with a smile, and said to Zhou Yuanliang sideways: "You can prepare a 100,000 yuan check for Xiaokun later as the preliminary preparation fund, and you two will discuss other things."

"Yes!" Zhou Yuanliang agreed immediately.

Zhang Zongchang was moved. He got 100,000 yuan before he could finish the work. Following Fang Zida, he really had a bright future. This made him even more determined to work hard for Fang Zida.

"Go, do it well, I'll take good care of you."

After seeing off Zhou Yuanliang and Zhang Zongchang with excitement, Fang Zida picked up the tea and drank leisurely. He guessed what the Russians would react after the establishment of this army, and when will the Russian Embassy inform the Chinese government of the disappearance of His Royal Highness of the Princess to the Chinese government.
