Fengxian Jiangshan

The shovel is made of high-quality steel, which can not only deal with ordinary ground, but also sand, gravel and frozen soil. In addition, it is also very effective in intertwined woodland.

Zhang Tinglan took the engineering shovel in his hand casually, and waved it left and right, feeling very comfortable in his hand, and the weight was appropriate.

"Old Xiong, if this thing is used for fighting, I'm afraid it will be more effective than a bayonet!"

"Of course, during the production, those Russians came up with a lot of good ideas, taking into account various possibilities on the battlefield."

"Well, it is indeed a good thing. I will promote it in the army as soon as possible, and you can also register a patent. In the future, you will get a little patent fee for every piece of equipment in the Fengjun. The accumulation of small things will add up. This is not a small thing. number."

Xiong Mengyuan also readily agreed. In addition to the engineer shovel, he showed Zhang Tinglan one more thing, and that was the grenade.The European powers are fighting trench warfare, and they have higher requirements for the firepower of individual soldiers. Hand grenades, which are cheap, easy to manufacture, and powerful weapons, are full of vitality, and all countries have begun to equip them in large quantities.

Naturally, Feng Jun would not let it go, and Zhang Tinglan also asked Xiong Mengyuan and the others to try out some.Xiong Mengyuan also brought the finished product, looked at these things, Zhang Tinglan patted Xiong Mengyuan's shoulder with great emotion.

"You can make these things, you have bothered!"

A silly smile appeared on Xiong Mengyuan's face: "Don't worry about it, it's just that there is a lack of machines now, and they are all produced by hand. The quality cannot be guaranteed, and the quantity cannot be increased. I am worried."

"You can settle down at home in Fengcheng first, and I will find a solution for other things. Things will change soon."

At this time, Zhang Tinglan was ready to make a good plan with Fred, and attack Russia as soon as possible.Of course, we can't just focus on the Russians, Zhang Tinglan is also thinking about the United States.

Japan's growing ambitions for China have aroused the vigilance of the United States, Britain and other countries, and Zhang Tinglan is in contact with the United States.In the name of buying scrap iron and steel, I plan to import a batch of second-hand machines from the United States.During the First World War, the United States was eliminating a large number of backward production capacity.A large number of old machines have to be disposed of.Although picking up junk is not a very good word, Zhang Tinglan is indeed planning to buy some things in the United States.

In fact, what Zhang Tinglan is looking forward to most is that the First World War will end as soon as possible, and then go to Germany to buy the bottom, that is the real fat, no matter how little it is bitten off, it can also make Fengtian prosperous.

Help Xiong Mengyuan delineate the factory area.The maintenance machine was also sent over, and they started to get busy.At this time, Sun Anhu and Xue Jintang's campaign to clear up the local area was about the same.

The rebels were basically wiped out, along with some bandits, and the law and order in Dongbian Road was finally restored.Both Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan breathed a sigh of relief.

But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing. At this time, Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram to inform Zhang Tinglan that the Japanese had come forward to ask for the missing persons.

In fact, during this period of time, the Japanese Kwantung Army also experienced earth-shaking changes. Nakamura Jue had a stroke, and there was chaos in the Kanto Governor's Mansion. A replacement had to be dispatched. separate reforms.

A special Kwantung Office was set up to manage civil affairs, and the commander of the Kwantung Army was set up separately. The criminal organization of the Kwantung Army finally officially appeared. It was three years earlier than in history, and the first commander still had rich experience in colonial rule. Tachibana Koichiro.

After this guy took office, he faced the big mess left by his predecessor. A large number of pro-Japanese forces were wiped out, which made the Japanese face disgraced and unprecedentedly isolated. Therefore, Tachibana Koichiro urgently needed to restore Japan's prestige.

But everything must be famous, so this guy thought that Shigeru Honjo and others are currently missing. In Tachibana Koichiro's view, they must have been killed by Fengjun. Even if Fengjun didn't want to kill them, with the help of Japanese samurai His arrogance would definitely commit suicide by caesarean section.

In short, as long as a Japanese died in Fengtian, he would have an excuse to interfere, so Tachibana Koichiro sent a report to Zhang Zuolin, asking him to find the whereabouts of the Japanese soldiers as soon as possible. If he could not find them, the Japanese Kwantung Army would do it themselves!

Undoubtedly, Tachibana Koichiro wielded the big stick of force again. After Lao Zhang told Zhang Tinglan the news, Zhang Tinglan also showed a sneer on his face. If the Japanese want to blackmail themselves, they must be prepared to be slapped in the face .

Zhang Tinglan immediately brought out Benzhuang Fan and other five people. During this period, Benzhuang Fan and the others were detained in the prison, and they were only given one meal of porridge a day. Although they would not starve to death, they were all weak and let others slaughter them.

This time they were going to be sent to Fengtian, Zhang Tinglan ordered them to eat better, it was not pity for these guys.Ordinary farmers still need to give some good things before selling their livestock. Zhang Tinglan is going to sell them for a good price and give them some delicious food to make them look smooth and more attractive.

Zhang Tinglan also followed Fengtian ten thousand times. This time the Japanese were in charge of negotiating with Shitian, and everyone often dealt with each other, so there was no need to beat around the bush. Shitian would get right to the point.

"Marshal Zhang, we Japanese disappeared in Fengtian without any reason, how should you be responsible?"

"Mr. Shitian, how could such a big living person go missing? I think you should look for it carefully. Why don't you give us the information and we will help you find it!"

"No need, Marshal Zhang, we suspect that someone died in your hands. Fengtian must give us an explanation, or we will bear the consequences."

"Mr. Shitian, you have to speak with evidence. You can't just talk in plain language. Who are those Japanese friends? You should tell me!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile.

Shi Tian casually pushed a document over, and it was Zhuang Fan and the others on it. Zhang Tinglan looked at it pretendingly, and then said with a smile: "I have met these people, and they are all very healthy."

"So you illegally detained the citizens of the Great Japanese Empire. Your crime is even more serious. You must give us an explanation!"

"Mr. Shida, don't be angry. If you want me to say that this incident is best kept private, otherwise it will be bad for Japan's image."

While speaking, Zhang Tinglan brought a thick pile of evidence.

"Mr. Shitian, these are the letters between you and Fang Wendong, as well as the evidence of your support for the Zongsha Party. As for those people, they are all military advisers sent by Japan. The real victims are us, but we consider China. In the overall situation of peace and friendship between Japan and Japan, I didn’t say much, I think it’s the best choice for us to go private!”

Chapter 186 Asking the teacher to ask the crime

Shitian looked at these things with a pale face, but he still pretended to be indifferent, and said with pouted lips: "These things are all forged by you, the Great Japanese Empire will never do such a despicable thing, you don't want to destroy the Great Japanese Empire image, I want to warn you, don't try to challenge the bottom line of the empire!"

Zhang Tinglan has long been used to the intimidation of the Japanese, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Shitian, we have collected sufficient certification and physical evidence. If these things are handed over to the foreign powers, what will they think? If they are published in China , It is bound to set off another round of boycott of Japanese products, even if you don’t admit it, it doesn’t matter, because the facts are there, you can’t tamper with them!”

Zhang Tinglan's words were resounding, heard in Shitian's ears, and my heart trembled. If Zhang Tinglan really did this, it would definitely be a big trouble for Japan. As a small island country, what Japan needs most is overseas. The market, whether it is purchasing raw materials or exporting products, if the outside world imposes restrictions on Japan, the small island country can only starve to death.

Shi Tian barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a sneer: "You are blackmailing, not friendly. If you really want to be friendly with the empire, you should return the personnel to the empire and apologize to the empire."

"Hmph, that's not making friends, but pretending to be a grandson!" Zhang Zuolin said loudly, "Mr. Shitian, I want you to clarify that you were the ones who were sending people to harm China's interests, but you were caught by the Chinese side. , Do you still want to hand over the pole to you and apologize to you? The Chinese are not so lowly, and Mr. Zhang would not do such a thing that only a grandson would do."

Old Zhang's face was full of anger, these little devils were simply too much, he barely suppressed his anger, and then said: "Zhang has always been willing to make friends with the Japanese. Friendly business, in Fengtian this place If we want to survive, we have to deal with Japan, but we must always have a bottom line in our affairs. I can’t help the Japanese and strangle myself. If Japan still wants to cooperate, it must respect Fengtian’s demands. If If you want to fight, even if Zhang wants to fight with his life, I will bite off a piece of Japanese meat."

Listen to Zhang Zuolin's words.Shitian's face changed after a while. In fact, there are different voices in Japan. They think that there has been a setback in the infiltration of Fengtian. To a large extent, the actions of the Japanese have exceeded the tolerance of the Fengtian army. The Japanese government should take warm water to boil it. way of the frog.Control Fengtian subtly, not blindly.It aroused the resentment of Fengtian and even the whole of China.

Zhang Zuolin's words seem to confirm this point of view.The biggest problem for Shitian is that Zhang Zuolin is a little unclear. This guy has the ability and means. It is reasonable to say that he is the most suitable support candidate, but this guy's ability exceeds the acceptable range of Japan. Feeling of fear.

"Marshal Zhang. Since you guys proposed to be private, how do you want to be private?"

"It's very simple. Japan will provide us with some ammunition, and then return the personnel to you by the way!"

"Do you want Japan to redeem people!" Shi Tian raised his eyebrows: "Are you trying to play the trick of kidnapping by bandits?"

Zhang Tinglan secretly smiled inwardly.Shi Tian is really right, you are sitting opposite to two bandits, but Zhang Tinglan will never admit it on the surface, but said with a smile: "Mr. Qian, this arms deal is a sign of our reconciliation, as for the few Japanese friends, we will return it to you free of charge, just treat it as a little misunderstanding between friends!"

Shi Tian's face became more and more ugly. Every time he dealt with Zhang Zuolin, he would inevitably be as awkward as a fly.

"Mr. Lost Field, we are willing to pay 150 million yen to buy a batch of arms. In the future, Fengjun will consider purchasing Japanese arms first. Please also ask Mr. Lost Field to clear it up."

When things got to this point, Shitian had no choice but to go back and ask for instructions, but his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he sent Shitian away. Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt from laughing.

The 150 million that Zhang Tinglan took out was seized in this operation. Using the funds seized from Japan to buy Japanese arms in turn is an interesting thing no matter how you think about it. No wonder the Japanese are so aggrieved .

In fact, when the Fengjun was unable to produce weapons, it was a necessity to make them in all countries. There was nothing wrong with introducing Japanese weapons, but when Japan sold weapons again, there were too many additional clauses. Buying his weapons was tantamount to becoming Japan. slave.

But this time Zhang Tinglan had the Japanese in their hands, and most likely they would not put forward any excessive conditions that would make the Japanese suffer. How could Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan be unhappy.

Old Zhang held Zhang Tinglan's hand and said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, you went to the south of Liaoning, and you became more and more insane. The little devil was tricked, and we got a lot of weapons for nothing. It's really satisfying!"

"Marshal, don't be too happy. The Japanese haven't decided whether to suffer from this or not. I think we are looking for a foreign newspaper first, so that they can report on the incident in southern Liaoning in a speculative tone, so as to stir up public opinion. .If the Japanese do not agree, we accidentally lose a little evidence, so we don’t have to worry about them not agreeing.”

Zhang Zuolin immediately smiled, and he directly dragged Zhang Tinglan to have dinner in the handsome mansion. Lao Zhang's usual food is considered simple. There are dozens of people in his family, which can fill three tables, but there are only four or five home-cooked meat and vegetable dishes. Such as braised pork, fried bean sprouts and the like.

Zhang Tinglan came over, and Lao Zhang knew that he was delicious, so he specially asked the kitchen to add some dishes, and the whole family sat around together, on the main seat, except for Lao Zhang, Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueming and several older children, The third concubine, Dai Shi, and a father and daughter.

"Zhuoyan, let me introduce you, this is my in-law Yu Wendou, you should also call me uncle!"

As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard this, she immediately understood that the father and daughter were Yu Wendou and his daughter Yu Fengzhi.Zhang Tinglan took a peek at Yu Fengzhi, and saw that she was tall and slender, wearing a floral cotton padded jacket, very elegantly dressed, but she sat there gracefully, like a lady of every family, she had experienced a good education at first sight.

Strictly speaking, Yu Fengzhi is not considered beautiful, but this kind of bearing is very rare. Zhang Tinglan only took one look, then nodded secretly. At that time, that was the standard for picking a lover.
