Fengxian Jiangshan

The fate of life is so interesting. A few months ago, Felis was still the nephew of the Tsar, the ruler of the Far East, with amazing power, but now that the Tsar has fallen, his worth has also faded, and his expression has no longer been domineering like before. , on the contrary seemed a little humble.

"Zhang, although I have thought about this situation more than once, but after it happened, the situation was worse than I imagined. I almost lost everything. Those guys who were lying under my feet all left me. They are all one If you know how despicable they are, you should throw them into the wasteland and let the hungry wolves tear them apart!"

At this point, Felis scratched his hair in pain, and Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Duke, everything has a turning point. As your friend, I am very willing to see the day when you regain control of the Far East."

"Are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course, there is an old Chinese saying that clothes are not as good as new ones, and people are not as good as old ones. It means that as an old friend, you should extend your hand."

"Zhang, I did not misunderstand you. As long as I regain control of the Far East, I will definitely provide you with the greatest convenience!"

"Don't rush to promise, we need to come up with a plan now, otherwise the other words will be empty words and useless."

Felis also calmed down, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Zhang, the issue of the Middle East Road has become a big trouble for the provisional government. As long as I can make them end in a decent way, my position in the Far East can be consolidated." , and you can save a lot of trouble, after all, it is not a good thing to compete with a powerful country, it is a win-win cooperation."

Historically, the Soviet government fought against Zhang Xueliang because of the Middle East Road. It was really because this road was so important to Russia. Now Zhang Tinglan has seized the Middle East Road.It's like touching the hearts and minds of the Russians, and not only whoever is in power will not easily expose it.

However, during the defeat of the Russian army by the Feng army, the Russian high-level heads were also sober. Their opponents were not vulnerable. According to estimates, in order to regain the Middle East Road, Russia would have to dispatch at least [-] troops and make major sacrifices. preparations, this estimation made the interim government difficult.

Want to send troops to the Far East on a large scale.It was originally a matter of consuming national power. Russia had already suffered a loss in the Russo-Japanese War, and now Russia's national power has declined seriously. The provisional government is facing the old forces of the tsar.There is also the squeeze of the majority party, which can be described as internal and external troubles.at this time.If you want to send a large number of troops to the Far East, it will definitely be difficult.

Moreover, the Russian government is not stupid. To put it bluntly, the idea of ​​co-management by the Allied Powers proposed by countries such as Britain and Japan is ill-intentioned.

Don't dare to fight, can't fight.But he dared not to fight, and had to fight. This was the biggest distress of the Russians. Felis introduced the Russians' contradictory mentality to Zhang Tinglan.Then he said: "The provisional government still has a little worry, that is, the Fengjun will take the opportunity to attack the Far East and take back the land occupied by Russia. Therefore, how to deal with the Far East problem has become the heart disease of the provisional government."

"Don't worry about this. I'm not so arrogant yet. The Feng army won't occupy Russian land, but we can't lose any of China's interests."

"Zhang, I have a way to get the best of both worlds, so that both of us can accept it. The management of the Middle East Road can be handed over to Fengtian, but Russia has also invested a lot of money in this railway. Is it possible to share the future profits of the railway with Russia? In name, it is jointly managed by the two countries, but the actual control is still in the hands of the Fengjun, and the Russian government has also stepped down."

"Successfully helping Russia to solve the problem, you have also benefited, right?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "This method can be considered, if possible, I would also like to sign an agreement with Russia to jointly deal with the majority party, after all, they are a cancer , I don't want the three eastern provinces to be infected."

In the past two years, Zhang Tinglan has also dealt with a lot of things, and she is also very clear about the proportions. She should not just be tough, she should be soft. Accepting the plan of co-management with Russia is tantamount to cutting off the dog paws of Britain and Japan. Blocking the possibility of their interference can relieve the pressure on Fengjun.

But in the final analysis, this is a temporary plan. For Zhang Tinglan, he wants to strive for a period of peace in the future, digest the benefits obtained from the Middle East Road this time, and wait for a better opportunity when Fengjun grows stronger.

After some weighing, Zhang Tinglan nodded and agreed to the plan, while Felis was ecstatic. In fact, he still has some power in his hands, especially after Constantine's failure, Felis's power in the Far East has become quite prominent , what is missing is the opportunity to be accepted again. If he successfully resolves the problem on the Middle East Road, he will also have the capital to return the king, so one can imagine his mood.

"Old friend, I have helped you, what are you going to offer in exchange?"

"Can my sister do it?"

When Zhang Tinglan heard that he mentioned women again, her face became gloomy. The two little girls who were sent last time were taken away by Zhou Xinyao without even looking at them, making Zhang Tinglan scratch her heart. , Don't mention how uncomfortable it is in my heart, dare to mention it again, isn't this arousing sadness.

"Just kidding." Felis said hastily: "As long as I regain power, the cooperation will definitely go deeper. I can help you get factories and technicians in the Far East, and even help you purchase machine technology from the Allies. There is only one condition, that is, I need Fengtian to provide me with more supplies and ammunition!"

After this change, Felix's pursuit of strength became even stronger. He originally thought about the country, but now that the Tsar has fallen, Russia is in his heart, and the value is also discounted. The only thing he thinks about now is to be with Zhang Tinglan Form an alliance and use the three eastern provinces as backing to consolidate your power.

Russia is too chaotic, industrial production has stagnated, and workers are unreliable. It is better to give Zhang Tinglan all the machinery and technology, and use the three eastern provinces as a source of weapons and materials.

Felix showed an attitude of complete cooperation, and Zhang Tinglan was also very happy. As long as this guy can help Fengtian wholeheartedly, Fengjun's industrial strength can be improved faster, and doing things under the banner of Russia will be better. It is definitely a win-win thing to be recognized by the great powers.

Zhang Tinglan and Felis formed an embarrassing alliance.For a long time, Zhang Tinglan had planned to evacuate Russia, and now she finally saw the light of day.Felice also found an ideal ally. He left Suifenhe in a hurry, returned to Russia, and went to work.It is also necessary to convince the Russian provisional government to accept this condition as soon as possible. If the troubles on the Middle East Road are not resolved, other things will be just talk on paper.

After sending Felis away, Zhang Xueliang and his train arrived at Suifenhe with a train full of people and goods.Zhang Tinglan also went to greet them in person, counted the harvest, Zhang Tinglan was also overjoyed.

100 million rubles in cash were deposited into Feng Jun's account, and nearly [-] kilograms of gold were sent to the bank.A set of equipment for the production of rails was temporarily shipped to Harbin, and waited until Anshan Iron and Steel was put into production.This set of equipment was sent to Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and the steel produced could be turned into rails immediately.It is then used for railway construction.

In addition, all the tools for railway maintenance were handed over to Dongdong Road.The Middle East Road, which has experienced wars, is also in urgent need of maintenance. Fortunately, the two railways were built by the Russians, and the tools can be used in common.Those ordnance maintenance equipment were also sent to Harbin. There used to be a batch of maintenance equipment in Harbin. Now the combination of the two can build an arsenal.

In this way, Fengjun has Fengtian.The three arsenals in Jilin and Harbin, as long as they are well coordinated, these three arsenals can equip at least [-] troops and sell a large number of weapons.Even in later generations.The world's major arms giants also rely on huge profits from arms sales to maintain their business operations.

Now that the pattern of arms production has been formed, the opportunity for Fengjun to export a large amount to the outside has come. With huge profits, the military industry system can grow stronger, and the more Fengjun sells, the more market share it will leave to Japan. At least, it's a zero-sum game.

Feng Jun wants to grab meat from the Japanese and control other warlords through the arms trade. Zhang Tinglan has already outlined a specific plan in his heart and is waiting for the next step to be implemented.

After checking all these things, Zhang Xueliang and the others brought back more than 500 Chinese laborers and kidnapped more than 60 Russian technicians. After all, people are the most precious. Zhang Tinglan is very satisfied with this action.

Zhang Tinglan also gave good words of comfort to those Chinese workers: "Everyone returned home when they arrived in Fengtian. If you want to find your relatives, we will provide travel expenses. In addition, if you want to work, we also have factories. If you want to be farmers, there are factories everywhere. The farm is under construction, and the fertile black soil is under our feet, as long as we work hard, everyone will definitely be able to live a good life!"

Working hard is definitely the least thing these workers care about. After hearing Zhang Tinglan's promise, they were all happy. It seems that it is different when they go home, and now the officials in Fengtian are different from before. They are more friendly and considerate of the common people. They all rekindled hope in life.

After arranging the Chinese workers, those Russian technicians were sent to the Harbin Railway Rolling Stock Company and handed over to Kuang Jingyang, who asked them to contribute their intelligence to the Middle East Road.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan will not be satisfied with Shuangchengzi. The whole China and Russia have a long border line. Now that Russia is in decline, he should take advantage of his illness to kill him. Move things back.

With the victory of Fengjun, not only the security of the Middle East Road has been solved, but even the situation on the Sino-Russian border has completely changed. In the past, the Chinese people were trembling, and Russian soldiers and bandits continued to cross the border to harass the Chinese people. But now the initiative has undoubtedly fallen to the Fengjun side, and those who need to tremble and fear have become the Russians.

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan took this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Russian expatriates in the three eastern provinces. All illegal expatriates were arrested and made to work as coolies, and those with official status were also controlled. Zhang Tinglan did not want to leave any behind. Hidden danger.

On the other hand, after Felice's activities, the Russians also sent personnel to contact Fengjun to discuss the issue of the Middle East Road, and they didn't want to drag it on like this.

Just when everything was moving in the expected direction, a big trouble suddenly appeared in Fengtian. The Japanese Consul General in Fengtian, Masasuke Akajiri, suddenly held a public press conference, calling all reporters from all over the world.

"Reporter friends, for some time in the past, everyone must have paid close attention to the matter of the Middle East Road, what happened around this railway, and what roles did China and Russia play in the conflict. In the past, we only got reports According to the army, the Russian majority party rebelled, and the army assisted the rebellion. In the end, the Russian governor, Mr. Horvath, died, and the army took over the railway. But I want to tell you that this is a big lie. The Japanese Empire has found iron proof. The army is lying!"

Akajiri Masasuke's words were like a heavy bomb, dropped among all the people, and everyone was indeed very concerned about the news on the Middle East Road. Originally, it was a miracle that Feng's army defeated the Russian army, but now the Japanese jumped out again and let Things changed wildly, making this news even more confusing.

Akajiri said triumphantly: "Everyone, please look, this is the Colonel of the Russian Army, Mr. Vasily, and he will tell you the truth!" (To be continued...)
