Fengxian Jiangshan

() Zhang Tinglan first talked with Fred about the development of the North Market. He hadn't thought of how to lead the topic to the arms issue, but now Fred actually brought it up. Zhang Tinglan is so perceptive, he immediately guessed By the time Fred arrived, he had already started to deal with Russian munitions.

Think about it carefully, how corrupt Russia is now, it is rotten from top to bottom, how could Fred, who has the power to purchase arms and supplies, give up this piece of fat, he is asking now, most likely because he wants to ask Zhang Zuolin Selling arms.Zhang Tinglan scolded herself for being an idiot, if she had thought of this level at the beginning, why bother to get the North Market, just resell the military supplies!

However, Zhang Tinglan thought about it again. In fact, these two things are complementary. Without a fixed market, how can they resell military supplies in large quantities? It is too inefficient to rely on Fred to find a new home. .

Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan was very happy. It was really right to choose to cooperate with Fred. The unscrupulous Jewish banker and the daring bandit leader, this is a perfect combination, and it just happened to catch up with the great opportunity of World War I , It's hard not to get rich.

Zhang Tinglan interrupted suddenly: "Mr. Fred, what weapon do you want to sell? Is it a rifle, a machine gun, or a cannon! And what model is it?"

"Rifles, brand new Mosin Nagan rifles, what you call water drops, and bullets. I think Mr. Zhang, a local general, must be interested in these weapons!"

Fred is right, Zhang Zuolin's eyes are already shining at this time, the two things that can move Zhang Zuolin the most are money and the other is guns, now that the money issue has a clue, if the gun issue is resolved, it will be too much. Cool.

Zhang Tinglan secretly tapped the excited old Zhang with her toes, and then said to Fred: "If my guess is correct, these rifles should be for Russian soldiers, and they are now fighting the Germans on the Eastern European battlefield. , there are many soldiers who don’t have rifles, they can only pick up the weapons of their dead comrades. But you steal and sell their arms here, isn’t it a bit immoral?”

"This is not purchased by the Russian government, but by a friend who is an arms dealer. I can guarantee that it is absolutely high quality and low price!"

"Mr. Fred do you think I will believe it?"

Fred shrugged and said indifferently: "Zhang, although you are very smart, it's best not to interfere with other people's normal business, otherwise our loan agreement will have problems!"

Zhang Tinglan was not frightened at all, but the mocking smile on his face became even stronger, "Mr. Fred, in my impression, Jewish bankers are bold people. As long as they have enough interests, they dare to do anything." , but seeing your handwriting made me lower my position on Jewish bankers a lot!"

Fred frowned, and said in a low voice: "Zhang, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't use this simple aggressive method, I have also read Sun Tzu's Art of War!"

"Haha, Mr. Fred, if my guess is correct, the way you make money now is to do some tricks on the arms and materials imported from Russia, intercept some of the weapons, and then sell them to customers in China for profit!"

Fred said with a smile: "You may be right, but I won't admit it, and you can't find evidence, and the Russian side won't meddle in these nosy things!"

"Mr. Fred, what I want to say is that you are too timid and too courageous. Leave three or five bullets today and a few boxes of bullets tomorrow. It is too slow to make money like this! As long as we cooperate Get up, we can keep all the guns and ammunition in the whole truck, we will be responsible for the sales, and you only need to count the money!"

Fred was finally tempted, why didn't he want to earn more, but in China, he was still an outsider after all, and it was too difficult to find a suitable partner, so he procrastinated. Now that Zhang Tinglan said this, he also felt that The three people in front of me may be good partners.

"Zhang, what you said is very tempting, but if the difference in quantity is too large, Russia will also hold it accountable!"

"Mr. Fred, there will be no mistakes in the number. We have nothing else in the 27th Division. There are still a lot of old broken guns, and there are also a lot of weapons in the Chinese arsenal. We trade the old for the new, The number will be fully replenished. You also know that many of the Russian soldiers are recruits, and they don’t know how to shoot at all. It’s such a waste to give these gray animals new weapons!”

Zhang Tinglan's proposal not only moved Fred's heart, but even Zhang Zuolin's eyes lit up. Now the 27th Division's equipment is not good, and the most skilled equipment is the old-fashioned Martini rifle. It is seriously outdated for singles. , the best is the Russian-made water lianzhu.However, these rifles were all scattered in the Northeast during the Russo-Japanese War. They have been used for many years, the rifling has been worn out, and the accuracy has also been lost.

Even so, the soldiers still regard these guns as baby bumps, and they usually wipe them clean. They are more concerned about their wives than their wives. There is no way that soldiers just point at these things to eat!Knowing the preciousness of weapons, Zhang Zuolin was so happy when he heard Zhang Tinglan's words. If he could replace all the junk equipped by Fengjun, including the rags in stock, with brand new water drops, the 27th Division would be really happy. Shotguns are replaced by cannons, and the combat effectiveness directly soars.

Zhang Zuolin barely controlled his excitement, Zhang Zuoxiang behind him had deliberately turned his face halfway away at this time, Zhang Zuoxiang was afraid that Fred would see his joy, and he did not expect his son to have such a wonderful idea.He was even looking forward to the scene when he got the weapons. He must change his artillery regiment first, and make all of them into the latest rifles. The weapons are neat, and the spirit of the soldiers will be very different. The artillery regiment will definitely become 27 The strongest force in the division.

Zhang Zuolin and the others focused their attention on Fred. At this moment, Fred was not in a hurry to answer, but picked up a cup of coffee and sipped it carefully.Of course he didn't have such leisure and elegance, and Fred's brain was also running crazily.In assessing the feasibility of this matter, it is a taboo to tamper with the arms, if a little bit of information is leaked, it will definitely end badly, so he can't make up his mind, so he keeps silent for a long time.

Zhang Tinglan got a little impatient waiting, and coughed lightly: "Mr. Fred, you are familiar with Chinese culture, and you must also know that Chinese officials have to think twice, think about danger, think about change, and think about retreating! How is the situation in Russia now?" You know the same. The Russian army on the front line is retreating steadily, large areas of land have fallen, and domestic uprisings have continued one after another. The forces of the majority party are making waves. Now Tsarist Russia is completely in a race against time. If the bloody war can be ended before Russia collapses Maybe it will be able to maintain the empire, if not, the empire will collapse in the war."

Zhang Tinglan is using the known history to narrate the lesson, how can it make sense, because the facts are there, but these words are a great shock to people of this era, Fred is constantly thinking about Zhang Tinglan In other words, the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank is controlled by the Russian government. If there is a problem with the Russian government, the existence of this bank will also be a big problem. He is very clear about the internal situation in Russia, so he agrees with Zhang Tinglan's judgment from the bottom of his heart .

Zhang Tinglan saw that Fred was a little loose, and continued: "Russia is full of corruption. As long as we are willing to spend money to manage it, there will be no problems in a short period of time. Although our 27th Division is not a big force, there are also superiors after all. Thousands of guns can completely protect you when necessary. As long as you take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you can earn millions or even tens of millions of wealth, and you will be a master wherever you go!"

The last few words finally moved Fred, and finally made up his mind. He nodded sharply, and agreed with Zhang Tinglan's proposal.

Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang on the side finally put their hearts into their stomachs, and then an uncontrollable joy appeared on their faces. Zhang Zuolin waved his hand and said, "Mr. We can't do it, and you still have to deal with domestic relations in Russia, I'm the boss, and you'll share [-]% of all the profits!"

After saying these words, Fred's face immediately burst into joy, and Zhang Tinglan also secretly admired Zhang Zuolin's arrogance. Obviously Zhang Zuolin was a powerful party, and his power was naturally greater than Fred's, but he was still able to take the small one willingly. How can you not satisfy Fred? This is the demeanor and courage of the Northeast King.

"Mr. Zhang, since the guns can be switched, food, cloth, military uniforms, cotton coats, canned food, etc. can also be prepared in the same way. As long as all the materials passing on this railway are the meat in our bowls!"
