Fengxian Jiangshan

As the commander-in-chief of one side, Zhang Zuolin has a book in mind, and regaining the Middle East Road is the best way for the Fengjun to break the predicament.And no one except Zhang Tinglan has the ability to do this task.

But once the road guard army is formed, the power in Zhang Tinglan's hands will inevitably report obstacles. If Zhang Zuoxiang is added, Zhang Zuolin will be overwhelmed.Feng Jun's balance was broken, and Lao Zhang had no choice but to push Zhang Xueliang over.Let this young marshal dilute Zhang Tinglan's power.

Zhang Tinglan was also clear in her heart.If he wanted to get back the Middle East Road, he had to be united in the whole army, and he had to accept Lao Zhang's arrangement with pleasure.

"Marshal, if this method is used to form the road guard army, Jilin's defensive strength will be severely weakened. I think we should transfer some veterans from Heilongjiang to Jilin."

"Yeah. This is a good way. Recovering the Middle East Road is the most important thing for the Fengjun, Zhuo Yan. Let Ling Ge be your chief of staff!"

Lao Zhang pushed Yang Yuting over again, but this was not to limit Zhang Tinglan's power. Lao Zhang also knew that Yang Yuting and Zhang Tinglan had a close relationship. Lao Zhang sent Yang Yuting here to use his identity to coordinate the three provinces. It is also a disguised way to enhance the authority of the General Staff and better coordinate the armies of the three provinces.

Zhang Tinglan is quite satisfied with this arrangement. After discussing with Lao Zhang, the corresponding work must be carried out quickly. Know the movements of the Russian army, figure out Horvath's family background, and do a good job of targeting accordingly.

After the order was issued, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan returned to Jilin. At the same time, Yang Yuting explained Fengtian's military affairs and hurried over. Sun Anhu and Qin Wei, who had been in charge of the bandit suppression operations, also came to Jilin. In addition, the commander of the sniper force Feng Yongshuang also came to listen to the order.

In addition to them, Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling, Jiang Dengxuan and Li Jinglin were all present. The room was full of people, and the map of the Middle East Road was placed in front of them.

Yang Yuting took the lead and said: "Everyone, according to the commander-in-chief's intention, Fengjun wants to form a road guard army. The goal is to seize control of the Middle East Road in the near future and drive the Russians out. The code name is the Bandit Suppression Army of the Three Eastern Provinces."

These people have all participated in the combat operations against Koryzin, and they are also aware of the situation between China and Russia. Now the Fengjun has made a plan to seize the Middle East Road. If the army dare not give it a try, it would be shameful!

And everyone is very clear about the significance of this incident. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese government has retreated step by step and lost its sovereignty bit by bit. Over the years, it has never taken back any rights.If Feng Jun can take back the Middle East Road this time, it will definitely be a major event that will shock the world, and it will definitely be called a feat. Everyone present can feel the blood surging in their chests, and they unconsciously puffed up their chests.

"This road guard army will consist of four brigades, each with about 3000 people. Qin Wei will be in charge of the East Road Brigade. The main goal is Suifenhe. Start the operation at one point, quickly control Suifenhe generation, and eliminate Russia in the territory. At the same time Block possible Russian reinforcements from the Far East!"

"Humble job, I must go all out to complete the task!"

Yang Yuting nodded, and then continued: "The target of the Central Brigade is Harbin, where the Russians are the most powerful. The governor's residence is also here. Sun Anhu is mainly in charge. Meanwhile, Jiang Dengxuan and Li Jinglin will serve as deputies to help direct the battle."

After two points in a row, only the west direction remained. Zhang Xueliang blushed, and secretly clenched his fists, hoping that this mission would fall on his head.

"Guo Songling is in charge of the West Road Brigade, and the target is Manzhouli!" Yang Yuting looked at Zhang Xueliang for the last time, and then said, "Han Qing, this time we are fighting the Russians, and the danger is very high. You should stay in the reserve brigade for now!"

"It's because of the great danger that I want to go to the battlefield. I can't hide behind others. I have to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds! Besides, it's not that I have never fought with the Russians. They are nothing special. Our Fengjun can also defeat them." them"

Seeing Zhang Xueliang's objection, Yang Yuting turned his attention to Zhang Tinglan. He and Zhang Tinglan discussed the division of troops together.

"Hanqing, this assignment of tasks is not the final combat order, but the assigned direction, each studying tactics, come up with a suitable training plan, train your soldiers well, and wait for the opportunity to fight. This time may It's still a few months away."

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "None of you should take it lightly. This is just a preliminary assignment. You have to train the troops well and get familiar with the enemy's situation. If anyone does not do well, there will be dragons and crouching tigers hidden in our Fengjun. It is possible to replace everyone. This is also the case. Han Qing, you have the opportunity, you can also designate a battle plan, as long as it is ingenious and reasonable, you can also lead the army alone!"

Speaking of this point, Zhang Xueliang could only secretly cheer up.After the assignment meeting was over, everyone acted quickly. Except for Zhang Tinglan who was in charge of the reserve brigade, the other three brigades also pulled up the shelf, enriched the team, replenished weapons and ammunition, and then transferred to the corresponding area to prepare for training.

It has been a year since the Fengjun implemented the militia system, and the local organization is very strong, especially the influx of a large number of immigrants in the customs. These immigrants are mainly young and middle-aged, and many of them have no skills. Apart from coolies, there is nothing else The way to make a living.

Everyone also knows that Fengjun's treatment is quite good, so when they heard that Fengjun was recruiting soldiers, they all flocked to it, and the recruitment sites everywhere were crowded with applicants.All the farms also took action, sending out the best militiamen and letting them join the army.

In this way, missing posts are quickly filled.With enough people and enough weapons, the two arsenals in Fengtian and Jilin have the right to operate.

Fengtian Armory mainly produces bullets and pistols, while the Jilin Armory has greatly improved its production capacity and technical level after the arrival of machinery and equipment. They mainly produce pistols, water rifles, mortars and grenades, etc.

After more than half a month of hard work, the first batch of 82mm mortars was finally finalized and put into production. The other [-]mm mortars were also produced, and the projectile projectile sketched by Zhang Tinglan was also produced.

"At present, we can produce 82 [-]mm mortars and [-] [-]mm mortars per week. Due to the unstable performance of grenades, we have to wait for a while to start production." Xiong Mengyuan introduced the production situation to Zhang Tinglan.

This number is not too small, and more than 100 can be obtained in a month, but Zhang Tinglan has positioned mortars as consumables, that is, the more the better, so he said: "I think the number will increase. It is best to increase it to fifty. The more weapons the better, if you need equipment to be transported from Russia, if you need funds, just come to me. Our trade with Russia is making money every day. So much money, don’t use it to develop military industry , It’s really unreasonable, all in all, you just try your best to produce the weapons well, and don’t worry about anything else!”

After explaining to Xiong Mengyuan, Zhang Tinglan specially found Chen Qiming. Chen Qiming is now in charge of ammunition production, and he was so busy that he lost his head. As soon as we met, he said: "Mr. Zhang, we have already imitated the 150mm shell, but the [-]mm It will take some time, don't worry, it will be done!"

"Well, there is not enough ammunition. Even the best weapon is a fire stick. You are also under great pressure. I have ordered a batch of raw materials from the United States in the name of Russia, and they will be shipped soon. Everyone Safe production!"

Zhang Tinglan had just left the arsenal, and Wang Tieshan sent news that he had already passed Boli with the machinery and equipment, and was about to arrive at Suifenhe.

After Zhang Tinglan heard the news, she felt relieved. The steel factory has finally arrived. Now everything is ready and only Dongfeng is owed!

Chapter 291 Industrial Upgrading

With a strong roar, the train drove into Suifenhe Station from the Russian Far East, where a large number of Fengjun soldiers and porters had long been looking forward to.

This train was equipped with the first batch of important machines shipped from Russia. It can be said that these things carried Fengtian's industrialization dream, and everyone paid special attention to them. Zhang Tinglan personally greeted Horvath and asked the Russian army to provide convenience.

In fact, not only Horvath, but even other Russian military officers, Zhang Tinglan also tried to bribe them, of course not only for this transportation, but also for the long-term planning in the future, a group of greedy military officers is definitely a big deal, Sprinkling some money now can also facilitate the recovery of the Middle East Road in the future. After all, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

The train drove into the station and gradually stopped in front of everyone. Wang Tieshan jumped out of the car early, walked a few steps, and arrived in front of Zhang Tinglan, with an unconcealable excitement on his face.

During this period of time, he has been moving around in Russia, buying high-ranking officials, and investigating various intelligence data. He has to try his best to get the best equipment for Fengjun, and he has to think hard to deal with those Russian dignitaries. I lost a lot of weight.And being in charge of escorting the goods these days has broken my heart and exhausted my energy, and I almost didn't get a good night's sleep.

His face was full of stubble, his eyes were dark, and the corners of his mouth and eyes were cracked. It looked like he had suffered a lot.

"Thank you!" Zhang Tinglan stretched out his hand first, grabbed Wang Tieshan forcefully, and asked, "It can be seen that I have suffered a lot from the wind and dust all over my body."

"It's a lie to say that we don't suffer, but we're all used to it!" Wang Tieshan said, "What I'm most afraid of is that these goods can't be delivered safely, and I won't be able to redeem them. Now I'm finally back in our On the site. I feel a lot more at ease in my heart!"

"What is the situation in Russia?"

"It's very bad, Young Master Zhang. Just after the new year, there was a general strike of [-] to [-] people in the Russian capital, and not only in the capital, but also in other regions. The number of people is increasing, and it's not just ordinary people, even The army is not stable, but the tsar's army is retreating at the front. A large number of war refugees have poured into the rear, and the entire economy has actually collapsed!"

Wang Tieshan has been in Russia for a long time, and he has been exposed to all levels, and has a very intuitive understanding of the situation in Russia. The situation in this country is even worse than that in the late Qing Dynasty.The opposition forces faced by the Manchu Qing at that time were mainly concentrated in the south, and most of them were speculative constitutionalists.

The situation in Tsarist Russia was even worse than that of the Qing Dynasty.The lower the people.The louder the voice against the tsar, and the more radical ideas are recognized, the slogan of overthrowing the tsarist monarchy has been uttered in the demonstrations.

"Young Master Zhang, according to the original plan, I can still come back at least a week earlier, but Russian workers are on strike in large numbers. The whole society is almost at a standstill, and it has only been delayed until now. I have also noticed along the way, and there are also a lot of wars at stations around the country. Materials. But because the transportation can’t keep up, the troops on the front line can’t get supplies at all, and I don’t think mutiny is far away!”

After Zhang Tinglan listened, she nodded. Basically, the situation in Russia was similar to what she knew. The revolution had reached an irreversible point, and soon an empire would collapse, and then a more terrifying red empire would be reborn.

"Since Russia is in such a mess, will it affect our material transportation?" Zhang Tinglan asked with some anxiety: "According to my estimation, there is not much time left for us. Within a month or two, the situation in Russia will definitely There have been major changes, if the materials cannot be obtained in advance, there will be more variables in the future!"

"Young Master Zhang, don't worry. Officials at all levels in Russia know money now. As long as they pay enough, they can help us work. The first batch of goods was to open the road, which wasted a lot of time. Next Everything will be much easier if you are familiar with the road!"

"En!" Zhang Tinglan nodded in satisfaction: "Old Wang, I will provide you with a sum of several million funds, and you will use all of it to open up the joints and get enough machines. Everything is up to you!"

"Young Master Zhang, don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders." At this point, Wang Tieshan hesitated to speak.

"If you want to say something, just say it, for your credit, I will never treat you badly!"

"With Mr. Zhang, I feel at ease. In fact, I think the smuggling business will end soon. In the future, if I want to look like a human being, I have to do something serious. I plan to invest in business. I can't do anything else. I think What do you think of a coal mining company?"

Wang Tieshan is also a very smart guy, and he always sees farther than others. Now the most prestigious people in the three eastern provinces are not officials, but entrepreneurs. As long as there is a factory, local officials will take the initiative to help solve the troubles, and There are also a lot of tax incentives, no fool would do it.

Other industries are still difficult to do, but the coal mine is not too difficult. As long as there is a machine, if you get a coal field, you can sit and count money. Synonymous, he chose this industry, which is also very reasonable.

"It's a good idea. After I'm done, I'll arrange it for you. There are many coal mines in Jilin, and there are also Mongolia. Where do you want to invest, I will help you find a way!"

Receiving Zhang Tinglan's promise, Wang Tieshan put his heart into his stomach. This person is not just holding military and political power, but also has unparalleled influence in the business world. One sentence is worth a thousand or ten thousand sentences of others.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, I feel energetic again!"

During the conversation, the moving work had already started, and everyone's faces showed unconcealable joy. These devices were carefully selected, and basically they were [-]% to [-]% new, and some were unopened. Made in France and some in England.
