Fang Zida asked Yang Yongtai to ask Wu Peifu and others to discuss this matter. If Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov's death was true, it would inevitably lead to changes in the situation in Russia. It is necessary for the Chinese government to prepare in advance, whether from a military, political or diplomatic perspective.

The people here are Fang Zida's confidant team, and of course there is also a diplomatic chief Cao Rulin. However, Cao Rulin is now working in Tianjin and cannot come back for a while.

After learning the news, everyone was silent for a moment, and no one spoke. Whether it was Yang Yongtai who handed the telegram to Fang Zida before, or Zhou Yuanliang who had just been removed from office, or Yang Du and Wu Peifu who had only learned about this, the four of them did not speak first. They all knew very well that if this matter was true, it would be a big event, and everyone also understood what kind of answer Fang Zida needed them to give.

Fang Zida didn't urge him, and waited patiently while smoking. After a long time, Wu Peifu first talked about his opinion.

"I don't think it will be confirmed in a long time that Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov is the founder of Suwei, and I believe everyone understands his status and influence."

Seeing everyone nodding slightly, Wu Peifu continued: "We now assume that the news is true. Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov did die a week ago. Then the Soviet government will inevitably have a period of chaos. Whether it is political handover or military aspects, there is no doubt that there will be turmoil. I won't talk about politics for now. I am a soldier, and I will express my own opinions from the perspective of a soldier."

Looking at Fang Zida, seeing Fang Zida nodding slightly at him, Wu Peifu said: "The orthodox government of the Russian Empire in the Far East knows this news earlier than us. I guess the Russians are ecstatic now. First, Siberia's victory was first, and later Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov's death was later. For those who restored the country, they could not wait to prepare to move westward. But! What I want to say is, but! It's not moving westward now.

As for the reason, I said it long before this news. Whether from a strategic perspective or a political perspective, moving westward is not of any benefit to the Republic of China. And have you noticed a key point, that is, the Soviet government has not officially released the death of Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov, which means that the top leaders of the Soviet Union have also considered the possible reaction of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire, and have already begun to deploy defense lines a week ago."

"Ziyu is right, I thought of this too." Yang Du took the speech from the side and said, "Vladimir Ilyichi Ulyanov is the supreme ruler of the Soviet Union and the party leader. His death was concealed and indicates that there are two possibilities for the top leaders of the Soviet Union. One is that the vacuum of rights created after Vladimir Ilyichi Ulyanov's death led to internal struggles. In order to ensure that the country avoids turmoil in the fight for the highest rights, the matter was tacitly concealed. The other is that the vacuum of rights was created by Vladimir Ilyichi Ulyanov's death.

As mentioned by Brother Ziyu just now, although I, Yang, is just a scholar, but Sun Tzu, has read the story of the Art of War. The so-called "mourning soldiers will win". The death of Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov is both a good thing for the orthodox government of the Russian Empire in the Far East. It is also a bad thing. Once they have the idea of ​​advancing westward at this time, and even intend to decide the victory and defeat with the Soviet Red Army, and want to use one or two battles to solve the Soviet Union, it is probably different."

As soon as Yang Du finished speaking, everyone thought and nodded slightly. Next, Yang Yongtai also expressed his views. His views were roughly similar to Wu Peifu and Yang Du, but he also put forward a hypothesis, that is, there may be two of what Yang Du said. Even now the supreme Soviet regime has fallen into the hands of someone, and this person deliberately concealed this matter from the outside in order to stabilize the rights he had just grasped, and even used this matter as bait to lure the orthodox government of the Russian Empire, and then completely suppressed the potential political opponents with a victory, thereby completing the overall situation of real power.

Yang Yongtai's idea was incredible after hearing it. But after careful consideration, he found it reasonable. Especially Yang Du's eyes lit up and he immediately exclaimed.

Listening to the possibility that everyone mentioned, Fang Zida gradually felt relieved. To be honest, after receiving this message at first, Fang Zida was first shocked, then angry, and then sad.

What he was shocked was that this incident happened too suddenly. It was learned from history that although Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov's health was not good, it should be 2 or 3 years. Who would have thought that he would die suddenly in this way? It was angry that Zhou Yuanliang, as the director of the Intelligence Bureau, possessed overseas intelligence. On the contrary, this news was not submitted to him at the first time. It was first known by the Russians in the Far East. This made Fang Zida, who built two major intelligence agencies in the country and was particularly angry with them, which was also ruthless just now.

The reason for dismissing Zhou Yuanliang was because Fang Zida had just made plans for the future situation in Russia. Now that Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov died, the original deployment would probably be overthrown. Once the response was inappropriate, the winner would be decided in advance between the Soviet government and the orthodox government of the Russian Empire. Even due to the chaos within the Soviet Union, Tsarist Russia successfully restored its country in an unexpected way, causing a huge empire to rise to the north of China, thus threatening China's interests and development.

But after some time of calmness, coupled with Yang Du and others' opinions, Fang Zida's heart gradually calmed down. Whether it was Wu Peifu, Yang Du or Yang Yongtai, their views gave Fang Zida great inspiration and discernment. Combined with his profound understanding of Comrade Stalin, who has now climbed to the second in command of the Soviet Union and called himself the spokesperson of Vladimir Ilyic Ulyanov, the most likely way for this "steel" comrade was exactly the view put forward by Yang Yongtai. If this was the case, the Soviet regime would not only not collapse, but on the contrary, if the orthodox government of the Russian Empire wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to rush its troops westward, it would be bloody.

Gently knocking off the ashes from the edge of the ashtray, Fang Zida looked at everyone and said, "Chang Qing's Intelligence Bureau will verify the authenticity of this information as soon as possible. Zhou Yuanliang cooperates with Chang Qing's work. Everyone must not be neglected. I must see the definite news within three days!"

Yang Yongtai agreed immediately with a fluttering expression. Zhou Yuanliang nodded repeatedly and promised to make meritorious contributions while he was guilty and would cooperate with Yang Yongtai's work.

Then, Fang Zida said: "Xizi, please work hard, go to Tianjin in person and make preparations. Once the news is confirmed or the Soviet government confirms itself during the period, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must respond immediately."

Yang Du understood what Fang Zida meant and nodded immediately and responded.

Finally, Fang Zida turned his attention to Wu Peifu: "Ziyu, you are the hardest. The previous strategic deployment needs to be readjusted. According to my estimate, the orthodox government of the Russian Empire will take military action in no time, and they will never give up this opportunity. At this time, it is not convenient for our country to put pressure on them politically and diplomatically, and if we do this, it will be counterproductive. I think it is stupid to pour cold water at this time than to add icing on the cake. It is not impossible to properly support and even encourage them to send troops. However, there is a prerequisite that must be paid attention to, that is, our own military strength must not be lost, and we must help them stabilize the defense line and block the counterattack of the Soviet army when the Russian Imperial government forces are defeated."

Wu Peifu laughed and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry about this, I know how to do it."

"Okay! I don't worry about doing things for you, let's do it." Fang Zida said meaningfully, signaling the end of the meeting and let everyone make arrangements as soon as possible.

Everyone stood up and left, but when they left, Fang Zida temporarily kept Zhou Yuanliang.

After Yang Du and others left, there were only Fang Zida and Zhou Yuanliang in the office. Fang Zida didn't say anything, just sat quietly and smoked his cigar. Zhou Yuanliang stood in front of him with shame, with his head hanging down and looking like he was listening to the training.

"Sir...I...I failed your trust...I...I..."

"That's a big deal! Your Intelligence Bureau is actually a joke. How do you, the Intelligence Bureau chief? It's just a bucket!" Fang Zida cursed with a face. With this scolding, Zhou Yuanliang's expression became much more relaxed. You should know that Fang Zida could scold him, which means that his level was completely over. If it was still the same as his previous attitude, I'm afraid Zhou Yuanliang would never be able to turn over again.

"Actually, sir... the thing is actually..." Zhou Yuanliang was eager to distinguish himself, but he was interrupted by Fang Zida before he could finish his words.

"What's going on? I don't want to listen to your explanation. You should know that you were the director of the Intelligence Bureau before. If the Intelligence Bureau made a mistake in its work, the board would be hit on your butt. Do you understand?"

"I understand...I understand..." Zhou Yuanliang took out his handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"You have been working on information for so many years and have no brains at all! Okay, why are you still standing there? Go back, do it well, and no matter what you do in the future, you will be more energetic and use your brain more!"

"Thank you for your teachings...must...must..."

Zhou Yuanliang felt relieved and lit his head like a chicken pecking rice. After repeated assurance, he left here.
Chapter completed!
