卡尔·古斯塔夫·埃米尔·曼纳海姆(1867年6月-1951年1月)是芬兰著名军政人物,拥有男爵爵位。1904年,他被派往驻中国满洲里的第52龙骑兵团任中校。此后他又参加了日俄战争,并因为在奉天战役(今沈阳)中表现勇敢而提前晋升为上校。
1906年3月,俄军总参谋部交给曼纳海姆一项秘密任务,要他混进法国科学家保罗·佩里埃特率领的考察队,潜入中国进行间谍活动。在为期两年的考察活动中,曼纳海姆横跨了中国新疆、甘肃、陕西、河南、山西、内蒙古、河北等八个省份,行程1.4万公里,收集了大量重要情报。他按俄军总参谋部的旨意做全面的军事和社会考察;要探明从喀什经过兰州直达北京的最佳军事路线。总之,是在为俄国进一步侵略中国做准备。
