Fengxian Jiangshan

Jiang Fangzhen led a military investigation team of nearly 100 people to Fengtian. Except for a few students from Baoding Military Academy, the others were carefully selected by Wu Peifu. Their mission to Fengtian was to inspect the military production in the three eastern provinces. , and at the same time negotiated with Zhang Tinglan to purchase arms.

At present, Fengtian has an extremely rich variety of arms. What the Zhijun needs and what they can buy all need to be carefully weighed. It is absolutely impossible without a master who is proficient in military affairs, so Jiang Fangzhen was sent here.

As soon as the purchasing group got off the train, they saw many officers surrounded by a young man standing beside the platform. When he saw Jiang Fangzhen getting off the train, the young man walked quickly and greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang is coming to Fengtian, it is really a welcome!"

Jiang Fangzhen had also seen Zhang Tinglan's photo in the newspaper. When he met this time, he found that Zhang Tinglan was younger than he imagined, but he had a strong self-confidence all over his body, which could not be underestimated by anyone.

"Lan Shuai is too polite. Yu Shuai said that he had a good conversation with Lan Shuai last time. If he hadn't been busy with business, he would have come to Fengtian in person to talk about the world with Lan Shuai!"

"Yushuai is also a hero in this world, and it's my wish to join hands with him."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Zhang Tinglan took the initiative to invite Jiang Fangzhen to the commander's mansion for a talk.Jiang Fangzhen was not polite either, he got into the car directly, and followed Zhang Tinglan to the commander's mansion.During the short journey from the train station to the Shuai Mansion, Jiang Fangzhen was greatly shocked. Fengtian is completely different from ten years ago.

The road has been greatly widened, and there are row upon row of buildings on both sides, densely packed billboards, colorful, and the flow of people is endless, talking about the degree of prosperity.It is no worse than the Shiliyangchang in Shanghai. [

And what's more important is that the city of Fengtian is clean and the roads are in order. It's not that there are cleaners and police patrols passing by to maintain order.There are no beggars that can be seen everywhere in other areas on the streets. Just from this point of view, Fengtian is much higher than other cities in China.

Seeing the details, Fengtian can be governed like this, and broadly speaking, the development of the three eastern provinces will definitely not be bad.From Jiang Fangzhen's heart, he didn't think highly of Feng Jun.At the beginning, Zhang Zuolin was a bandit leader who became successful by accident, cunning and fierce. Although he defeated the Democratic Party, he almost killed Jiang Baili.

However, whether Zhang Zuolin was leading the army to fight or governing the local area.It's all the same old style, and the habit of banditry is very serious.Such a person is at most a powerful one.Absolutely no real meritorious deeds.But what he sees now has overturned his understanding of Feng Jun, which is definitely not the level that a group of bandits can get.

Especially when passing by the block, Jiang Baili saw a stretch of tall chimneys, which were constantly emitting billowing black smoke.If this is placed in future generations, it will definitely be a source of pollution that will be removed.But at this time, Jiang Fangzhen felt more cordial.

Such a huge industrial area is unique in the whole country. This Fengjun is really a big hand, and he has created so many factories.And this is still under the eyes of r and Russia, which is really amazing.

After walking for such a long time, Jiang Fangzhen's heart has already set off monstrous waves. Industry is the best embodiment of national strength, and it is also the secret of the great powers' ability to bully China. It seems that Fengjun has grasped this fate. It seems that Fengjun's The rising momentum is irreversible!

After getting out of the car, Jiang Baili said with great emotion: "Lan Shuai, you can see the whole leopard at a glance. It is really gratifying that Fengtian can have such a great development."

"Mr. Jiang, it has been three years since Fengtian started industrial construction. It may take a long time to achieve something. But to put it bluntly, we have found the direction to strengthen the country and the army. The only way is to develop industry. Only by mastering advanced technology and relying on strong national strength can we drive the big powers out of China, as for the others, we are just looking for fish.”

When Jiang Fangzhen heard this, he said with a smile: "Lan Shuai, some people in the society advocate learning from the United States, and some people advocate learning from Russia, but no matter what you say, you must start from the system, only Lan Shuai emphasizes starting from the industry. It is unique!"

"The system is just for reference. Doctors have long paid attention to prescribing the right medicine, which varies from person to person. This is especially true in this country. How to manage it requires constant adjustment and coordination. The systems of different powers are also different. But all powers have One characteristic is that all industrialized countries can produce all kinds of machinery and equipment, weapons and ammunition, if we don’t grasp this communism and pursue other things, not only will we not be able to save the country, but it will also harm the country.”

Zhang Tinglan also said with great emotion: "No matter how it develops in the future, if you don't know how to develop industry, don't know how to pay close attention to national defense, can't be tough on the outside world, and can't defend national sovereignty, such forces will be eliminated by the Chinese people sooner or later!"

"Well said! It can be said to hit the nail on the head. Lan Shuai's insight is really admirable."

Jiang Fangzhen has not only been to Japan, but also to study in Germany, and he is very clear about the flow of the world. After hearing Zhang Tinglan's insights, he admired him very much like Huang Zhong Dalu, and he had similar insights. The distance between the two sides has also narrowed a lot.

They walked into the living room, where the guests and the host were seated. Jiang Fangzhen went straight to the point and said what he wanted.

"Lan Shuai, General Wu entrusted me to come here this time. He wants to purchase a batch of munitions, mainly artillery and aircraft. He wants to purchase [-] artillery pieces of various types, plus [-] combat aircraft. He also wants to ask Lan Shuai to implement them. The original promise was to send a group of technicians to help increase the production capacity of the Gong County Arsenal.”[

As Jiang Fangzhen put a purchase list in front of Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Tinglan picked it up and looked at it. Wu Xiucai was indeed a lion, including eighteen 150mm heavy artillery, 36 120mm howitzers, and light from the artillery. Judging from the number of troops, it is enough to equip four or five Beiyang infantry divisions. It seems that after the central government is controlled, the expansion of the Zhijun army is inevitable, and the handwriting is quite amazing.

"There is nothing wrong with providing these ammunition, but I want to know how much Yushuai is going to spend. This is not a small amount!"

"Lan Shuai, I wonder how much you plan to offer?"

"Take the 150mm howitzer as an example. Heavy artillery of a similar caliber is the main force of the armies of various countries. Our neighbors are not even equipped with it. The cost of producing a cannon is at least 15 oceans. According to each artillery is equipped with a Calculated by thousands of cannons, Yushuai ordered 400 of them at a time, and the total price is about [-] million, I'm really worried that he won't be able to pay enough money!"

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Jiang Fangzhen also widened his eyes, with a look of disbelief. He never thought that a cannon was so expensive. Although Wu Peifu also prepared several million, it was obvious that the cannons alone The price is unaffordable.

In fact, Zhang Tinglan is not asking a random price, and wants to buy heavy artillery internationally.Basically impossible, this is a precious thing in the market.In addition, in three or four years, after Germany rearmed, it relaxed its arms export restrictions to China and provided a batch of 150mm towed howitzers.Each artillery piece cost a sky-high price of 87 yuan, and a heavy artillery regiment with 24 artillery pieces cost a total of 2088 million yuan.

Although the artillery sold by Fengjun is not as advanced as Germany's.But at least the caliber is the same.The power is also good, and there are corresponding supporting services. The price of 20 yuan is not high at all, and it is already a very reasonable price.

"No, no!" Jiang Fangzhen suddenly shook his head again and again: "Lan Shuai, you can't do this business. I heard that the 150mm heavy artillery you sell to Fengjun is not produced by you, but the equipment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is second-hand. , according to the price of the new product. I am afraid it is unreasonable?"

After being pointed out by Jiang Fangzhen, Zhang Tinglan's face did not change at all, but said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, it is precisely because it is obtained from Austria-Hungary that the price cannot be cheap. There are many stories in it, and the shipping cost alone will be consumed." Amazing. In addition, although the artillery is from Austria-Hungary, the artillery is actually produced by the Fengjun. This kind of artillery is different from the artillery we use, and it has to be produced separately. The price is definitely very fair, otherwise you can look for it Great powers, look at their prices!"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile, Jiang Fangzhen was choked back immediately, counting with his fingers, Britain, France, the United States and other countries did not buy this kind of weapon for China at all, Germany is still a mess, as for Japan, their army does not even have equipment, How could it be sold to the squadron!

There is only one choice, and that is Fengjun. In other words, if you want to buy it, you have to be prepared to be slaughtered.Jiang Fangzhen's mind kept spinning, and he said with a smile: "Lan Shuai, with such a high price, Yushuai may have to think about it. Let's talk about other things first."

Jiang Fangzhen changed the subject on his own initiative, and said with a smile: "Shuai Lan, would you like to tell Jiang how these Austro-Hungarian artillery came from?"

"There is nothing wrong with saying it now. At that time, Austria-Hungary was still at war with Russia. The Russians seized a large number of Austro-Hungarian arms. Then I got these arms to Fengtian through smuggling channels in Russia. At that time, I got a total of 48 Only then did the Fengjun establish two heavy artillery regiments."

"Lan Shuai, it's been two or three years since we talked about these artillery pieces. At that time, the European War had not yet ended, so you dared to attack the big powers?" Jiang Fangzhen asked in disbelief.

"Hey, the three provinces in the Northeast are between the Japanese and Russian attacks. How can they fight a bloody road if they don't make dangerous moves!"

"If my guess is correct, Fengjun got the arms from Russia, and the machinery and equipment were mainly from Russia. No wonder Fengjun's equipment is all made in Russia. It seems that you have obtained a lot from the Russians. Less benefits."

"It can only be regarded as a little interest." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Russia has occupied a million square kilometers of China's land, and is also trying to meddle in Mongolia. Facing such a ferocious enemy, how can we not goug out a few pieces of their body?" It’s not that they’re cheap.”

Hearing this, Jiang Baili secretly admired him. This Fengjun was indeed a gang of bandits, and dared to attack the big powers. Although Russia is now in a civil war, it is no longer a concern, but a few years ago, Russia was still A behemoth, no one dares to offend.

A young man in Fengjun dared to make an idea of ​​Russia. He was really daring, but he was allowed to make it. It was unbelievable. Could it be that the heavens were helping him?

"Shuai Lan, since you mentioned Russia, I would like to ask you for advice. After the Feng army sent troops to Hailan, they have been standing still. What kind of calculations are they planning?"

"The Outer Northeast is China's territory. It is related to the mouth of the northern line of the three eastern provinces. It is a place that has to be contested. The Fengjun has begun a large-scale expansion of the army. This winter will continue to increase troops on the northern line. As long as the time is right, we will do nothing. Send troops without hesitation, and regain the homeland!"

When Jiang Baili heard this, he couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding: "It's rare, it's really rare! The Feng army, with its powerful force, didn't think about fighting a civil war to unify China, but wanted to regain the homeland. A role model for soldiers in the world!"

Zhang Tinglan also laughed: "Mr. Jiang, since you also agree with Fengjun's proposition, I wonder if you can stay in Fengtian and help me?"

"This?" Jiang Fangzhen couldn't help pondering a little: "I was entrusted by Yushuai, I eat the king's salary, and I should repay the king's kindness. It's not good to leave halfway!"

"Mr. Jiang, as long as you are willing to stay in Fengtian, Fengjun can exchange arms with Yushuai!" (To be continued...)
