Fengxian Jiangshan

Temporarily cooperating with the United States and Japan to counter the threat of Russia is an established strategy, but the extent of cooperation is still a matter that needs to be carefully determined. Zhang Tinglan will definitely not immediately form an alliance with the United States and Japan, but between the two. Keep a certain distance so that you can have both sides.

No matter what era, a small country has two ways of living, one is to beg for food, and the other is to earn a living. Promising small countries can travel between big countries and absorb nutrients from many sources.As a warlord with lofty aspirations, Zhang Tinglan will naturally not be willing to be controlled by the great powers, and then beg the great powers to implement it. All buried.

US Consul General Baker's eyes rolled wildly. He didn't have any resistance to Zhang Tinglan's proposal. Engaging in intelligence sharing and establishing a communication mechanism are all what the United States needs to do. Now Russia is in a mess, and no one can figure it out. Come, intelligence support is urgently needed.

However, the attitude of the Japanese made Baiker a little anxious. These little guys made it clear that they would send troops to Russia immediately to monopolize the interests of the Far East. How could the United States agree.However, the democratic system of the United States determines that at this critical moment, their ability to make decisions is questionable, so a lot of time is wasted in buck-passing.

"I agree with the proposal of intelligence contribution, but whether to send troops, I think all countries must coordinate. This is the unchanging position of the US government." [

Akajiri Zhengsuke saw the United States' statement, but he could only shrug his shoulders and stopped advocating war. The three parties quickly initialed an intelligence cooperation agreement.

After the cooperation agreement was established, Baker quickly found Zhang Tinglan again. He had received instructions from the country to obtain information on the majority party as soon as possible.So he found Zhang Tinglan again.

"Zhang, how much does Fengtian know about the situation in Russia, and how much information can it provide us?"

"Mr. Consul General, I provided you with a memorandum earlier, all the information in which was carefully compiled by us. The situation in Russia is indeed not optimistic. The current power of the majority party is still very weak, but they are well-organized and very powerful. They can Form an iron fist. Although the White Army has a large number of people, they are divided from each other. The struggle is endless, it is difficult to form a joint force, and it is impossible to exert its own advantages. In addition, among the Russian people, they are increasingly full of expectations for the majority party , they want to get rid of the war, they want to bury the old system. Taking all factors into consideration, I think that if the countries do not intervene as soon as possible, the Russian majority party will inevitably seize power in the whole of Russia."

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, he took out a stack of documents. Empty talk is definitely not enough, and evidence must be paid attention to. These things include leaflets distributed by the Russian majority party.There is an investigation report provided by Chinese intelligence personnel, and there is also a personal letter from the former Russian Far East Governor Felix.

Zhang Tinglan handed the letter to Baker and said to him: "Mr. Consul General, Governor Felix is ​​the nephew of the Tsar. He has a clear understanding of the dangers in the Far East. In just over a month Over a period of time, there were hundreds of riots, countless demonstrations, more than 2000 people died, and the Russian Provisional Government could only control some large cities. 80.00% of the villages and towns were out of control, and even in the cities, they could go everywhere See people who preach majority theory."

Baker looked at these things, and his brows became more and more tight. It is true that the situation in Russia is worse than Americans imagined.Perhaps sending troops is the only correct choice, but the United States has not made a decision. Can it just watch the Japanese dominate the Far East?

"Damn it!" Baker slapped his thigh violently, not knowing whether he was complaining about the domestic bureaucrats or hating the Japanese.

After thinking for a while, Bai Keer suddenly saw Zhang Tinglan in front of him. This young man was still smiling. On the ground in the Far East, there were not only the United States and Japan, but also the power of Fengjun. The game between the three parties.

Although China is the weakest side, as long as it wins the support of Feng Jun, the United States will have an extra bargaining chip to check and balance Japan. Thinking of this, Bai Keer also understands why Zhang Tinglan is full of confidence. He has already seen through After this move, the United States must increase its support for Fengtian.

Now China and the United States have had a good interaction because of the soybean issue, but at the last moment, the Americans were clever and wanted to monopolize the profits. As a result, Feng Tian turned to reach an understanding with Japan and let the little devil get out of the way.

Thinking of this, Bai Keer also regretted a little. If he had seen this move earlier, he should have cooperated with Fengjun on the soybean issue to the end, and confirmed the relationship of allies. Then everything would be a matter of course, but now there are some troubles .

"Zhang, I think Fengjun should play a more important role in the Far East to prevent the spread of the majority party and prevent the Japanese from dominating the Far East."

"Of course we are willing to take on this responsibility, but we must also see that Fengjun is currently facing various difficulties. We lack sufficient weapons and military expenditures. If we want to undertake such an arduous mission, there are still great difficulties .”

There is no doubt that this is the time to bargain, Baker rolled his eyes, and then said: "I can persuade the US government to provide you with 100 million US dollars, and then provide [-] rifles."

When Zhang Tinglan heard the price, she immediately frowned. The Americans regarded Feng Jun as an ordinary warlord. It was wishful thinking to ask Feng Jun to help the United States with such a little thing.

"Mr. Consul General, the Japanese government has also found us and hopes that Fengjun can cooperate with them. You must know that the Japanese bought a large amount of Russian bonds, most of which were mortgaged with resources from the Far East. In order not to let their investment fail, they have already done Prepare to send troops, and the price offered by the Japanese is much higher than this!"

Zhang Tinglan simply put everything on the table. If the United States does not provide enough benefits, don't let Fengjun do things for them.

"Zhang, you might as well make a request directly, I will seriously consider it."[

"I heard that Remington and Westinghouse in the United States produced a large number of Mosin Nagan rifles for the Russian government."

"Yes, there is indeed such a thing. Do you need us to provide a large number of rifles?"

"No!" Zhang Tinglan shook her head slightly: "I hope you will move all the production lines here. What the Fengjun needs is the ability to produce by itself. The war consumes a lot. If we can't produce by ourselves, it will be impossible to take on the task of fighting against the Russian majority. Party mission."

When Bai Keer heard that Zhang Tinglan asked for a production line, he was immediately surprised. Fengjun was different from other warlords in that he had his eye on the weapon production line. With a production line, he could have a steady stream of weapons. This was indeed better than buying tens of thousands of weapons. Guns are more affordable, but Baker is also well aware of the domestic situation.

The Americans themselves are rising powers, so they are strongly wary of other backward countries and are very opposed to selling machine technology to China. Of course, it is not just China. Japan is also within the restrictions of the United States. American steelmaking and metallurgical equipment is It is strictly forbidden to export to the Far East.

Now that Zhang Tinglan directly asked for the production line, it went beyond the bottom line, and Bai Keer shook his head like a rattle.

"Absolutely not. The United States can provide you with a large amount of weapons, and it can be done continuously. There is no need for you to produce weapons yourself."

"China and the United States are separated by vast oceans, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. We cannot joke about our own lives. If we cannot obtain a stable supply of weapons, it will be difficult for the Fengjun to undertake the mission of fighting the Russians."

Bai Keer also knew that what Zhang Tinglan said was reasonable, but the sale of arms production lines to China would definitely not be approved by the US Congress, and the US ruling class was also unwilling to let China grow stronger.

"Zhang, I advise you not to think about these unrealistic things. The United States can provide you with [-] Mosin Nagan rifles, or more loans, but the weapon production line is absolutely impossible!"

Bai Keer's attitude was very firm, it can be said that he was decisive. Zhang Tinglan knew that he was a little impatient when he saw the situation. into a stalemate.

After seeing off Baiker, Zhang Zuoxiang happened to rush to Fengtian from Jilin. He came this time to discuss the Russian issue with Zhang Zuolin. Now that more and more refugees are pouring in on the border, how to deal with it must be There is a charter now.

After Zhang Tinglan and his father met, they naturally talked about the matter. Zhang Zuoxiang took a cigarette bag in his hand, smoked a few puffs, and then said: "Zhuoyan, when we were still in the green forest, there was one time. To eat food, we asked a big family to give some filial piety, but they were unwilling to agree. As a result, we ransacked their house the next night, and everyone was holding back. You want the Americans to take out For good things, you can't ask them, but make them feel the pain, so that they can honestly deliver the things to you."

Listening carefully to her father's words, Zhang Tinglan was also thinking about it, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she nodded: "Father, you're still smart, you hit the point right away, it seems that I need to learn more from you!"

"Your brain is flexible enough, your thinking is comprehensive enough, and you can see the big picture clearly. This is very good, better than Dad. But you have a problem, that is, your heart is not dark enough. In China, you are called Cherishing Feather, but you are not as good as those gangs. When dealing with foreigners, you have to use all means."

As an old Jianghu, Zhang Zuoxiang's reminder is still very useful. The chess game in the Far East involves all aspects. Naturally, he will negotiate with the Americans head-on.

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Dad, now I have an idea, the next step is for the Americans to cry and send over the production equipment!"
