Fengxian Jiangshan

"That's right, we are Fengjun, and now Shuangchengzi is under our control!"

As soon as these words were uttered, all the workers erupted. They cheered loudly and showed childlike smiles. Zhang Xueliang was also sincerely happy. He asked his soldiers to call all the workers out to help those with torture tools. Workers remove handcuffs and shackles.

These workers also introduced their situation. They all crossed the Guandong at the beginning, and were tricked by the Russians to Siberia, where they engaged in the most difficult jobs, some repairing railways, some digging mines, some cutting wood, and countless others. The Chinese workers were exhausted to death, and some were beaten to death.

They were assigned to the machine repair factory. They had to move rails and build roads every day. They did the hardest work, and their food and accommodation were not as good as pigs and dogs. guards to prevent them from communicating with the outside world.

In the past few days, the Russian army has been defeated, Shuangchengzi is in a mess, and they are ignored. These workers are all hungry, but they dare not go out easily, so they have been suffering for several days. come out.

Listening to the narration of these workers, I felt sour in my heart. The people would suffer inhuman treatment when the country was in decline. He asked the Fengjun soldiers to distribute some military rations to these workers so that they could fill their stomachs.

Fengjun's military rations include steamed buns, fried noodles, and canned meat. After they were placed in front of the workers, their eyes lit up. They hadn't seen such good things for many years, so everyone wolfed down them. Just wipe the food away.

A worker who looked only in his teens asked Zhang Xueliang with tears in his eyes after eating: "Sir, can you let us go home? My mother doesn't know my life or death yet!"

As soon as he said this, it immediately aroused the sadness of the workers present, and everyone cried again. Zhang Xueliang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, everyone, since the Fengjun has taken control of Shuangchengzi, we will take all the workers in the city away. Let everyone go home and reunite with their loved ones."

After the promise was made, all the workers burst into tears, as if it was Chinese New Year. Zhang Xueliang also knew that there would be Chinese workers in other factories, so he hurriedly told the Fengjun soldiers to pay attention and gather all the Chinese workers. , take them home together.

After some searching, a total of more than 500 Chinese laborers were found in the city. According to their introduction, there were about 700 people here before winter. The Russians did not regard them as human beings at all. After one winter, there were more than 200 Chinese laborers. They all died of cold and hunger. Seeing these miserable Chinese workers, the hatred of the Fengjun soldiers towards the Russians reached its peak.

Some recruits still feel guilty for using Russian wounded soldiers to practice bayonets, but now, they have put everything aside. As the saying goes, if you are not benevolent and I am not righteous, how the Russians treat the Chinese, the Chinese will be ten times and a hundred times Also go back.

More than 500 workers have been gathered together, Zhang Xueliang is also quite happy, maybe these people can be of great use in Fengtian, so let the soldiers ask to see what skills they have.

But after asking, Zhang Xueliang was a little disappointed. Most of these workers were coolies, and they had no access to any technical work. Play a role.

Fortunately, they are all young and strong, and they can work as farm workers or even soldiers. In short, the three eastern provinces are short of population.At this time, Zhang Tingshu also rushed over. He was in charge of transporting the ordnance repair shop, and he also found a lot of good things in it.

There are about a thousand Mosin Nagans, many parts of machine guns and rifles, and processing machines. The shells produced in Europe temporarily existed here, so Master Zhang Er would naturally not be relentless, and they all loaded them into cars and took them away.

"Sixth brother, you are smart and confused for a while, do you want to hear my little brother give you some advice?"

"Tingshu, don't be foolish. If you have any ideas, just tell me."

"Sixth brother, these workers don't know anything, but some people know it. Isn't it a great achievement for us to pull all the workers back?"

With a word to wake up the dreamer, Zhang Xueliang's eyes lit up immediately, he slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "Tingshu, you are still smart, and those Russian workers, let's tie them all back. In the past, they squeezed Chinese laborers. Now It's our turn to squeeze them."

Zhang Xueliang immediately ordered the Fengjun soldiers to search for all the Russian technicians in the city. Don't let any one go, including their family members, all packed and dragged to Fengtian. Soon the Fengjun heard the news, and the two cities were suddenly tossed. .

Those Russian technicians who did not have time to escape were all arrested, stuffed into trains, and transported back to Suifenhe together. The moving operation lasted for more than a day, and five trains were loaded. 200 million rubles and a lot of gold.

According to Zhang Tinglan's previous instructions, Zhang Xueliang allocated 100 million rubles and gave 50 to Ivanov, and the remaining 50 were also distributed to those bureaucrats who helped Fengjun provide information. You want to accuse them of disturbing the situation in the Far East.

Ivanov and the others did live up to expectations. With their containment, none of the Russian reinforcements were sent out. Zhang Xueliang and the others easily moved things and people back as if they were shopping in the market.

"Sixth brother, do you think we should dismantle these rails as well? This is also high-quality steel, and it can be used when we go back to make guns and cannons."

Zhang Xueliang is also a little tempted, but it is best to shake his head: "Have you forgotten the warning of Zhuo Yan, don't destroy the railway, after all, it is not easy to build roads, don't think that this place is owned by the Russians now, maybe it will be in the future." Ours is now in the hands of the Russians for the time being."

They hurried back, and at this time Zhang Tinglan was also receiving an old friend, that is the Tsar's nephew Felis.

Chapter 329 The Japanese Attack Again

The fate of life is so interesting. A few months ago, Felis was still the nephew of the Tsar, the ruler of the Far East, with amazing power, but now that the Tsar has fallen, his worth has also faded, and his expression has no longer been domineering like before. , on the contrary seemed a little humble.

"Zhang, although I have thought about this situation more than once, but after it happened, the situation was worse than I imagined. I almost lost everything. Those guys who were lying under my feet all left me. They are all one If you know how despicable they are, you should throw them into the wasteland and let the hungry wolves tear them apart!"

At this point, Felis scratched his hair in pain, and Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Duke, everything has a turning point. As your friend, I am very willing to see the day when you regain control of the Far East."

"Are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course, there is an old Chinese saying that clothes are not as good as new ones, and people are not as good as old ones. It means that as an old friend, you should extend your hand."

"Zhang, I did not misunderstand you. As long as I regain control of the Far East, I will definitely provide you with the greatest convenience!"

"Don't rush to promise, we need to come up with a plan now, otherwise the other words will be empty words and useless."

Felis also calmed down, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Zhang, the issue of the Middle East Road has become a big trouble for the provisional government. As long as I can make them end in a decent way, my position in the Far East can be consolidated." , and you can save a lot of trouble, after all, it is not a good thing to compete with a powerful country, it is a win-win cooperation."

Historically, the Soviet government fought against Zhang Xueliang because of the Middle East Road. It was really because this road was so important to Russia. Now Zhang Tinglan has seized the Middle East Road.It's like touching the hearts and minds of the Russians, and not only whoever is in power will not easily expose it.

However, during the defeat of the Russian army by the Feng army, the Russian high-level heads were also sober. Their opponents were not vulnerable. According to estimates, in order to regain the Middle East Road, Russia would have to dispatch at least [-] troops and make major sacrifices. preparations, this estimation made the interim government difficult.

Want to send troops to the Far East on a large scale.It was originally a matter of consuming national power. Russia had already suffered a loss in the Russo-Japanese War, and now Russia's national power has declined seriously. The provisional government is facing the old forces of the tsar.There is also the squeeze of the majority party, which can be described as internal and external troubles.at this time.If you want to send a large number of troops to the Far East, it will definitely be difficult.

Moreover, the Russian government is not stupid. To put it bluntly, the idea of ​​co-management by the Allied Powers proposed by countries such as Britain and Japan is ill-intentioned.

Don't dare to fight, can't fight.But he dared not to fight, and had to fight. This was the biggest distress of the Russians. Felis introduced the Russians' contradictory mentality to Zhang Tinglan.Then he said: "The provisional government still has a little worry, that is, the Fengjun will take the opportunity to attack the Far East and take back the land occupied by Russia. Therefore, how to deal with the Far East problem has become the heart disease of the provisional government."

"Don't worry about this. I'm not so arrogant yet. The Feng army won't occupy Russian land, but we can't lose any of China's interests."

"Zhang, I have a way to get the best of both worlds, so that both of us can accept it. The management of the Middle East Road can be handed over to Fengtian, but Russia has also invested a lot of money in this railway. Is it possible to share the future profits of the railway with Russia? In name, it is jointly managed by the two countries, but the actual control is still in the hands of the Fengjun, and the Russian government has also stepped down."

"Successfully helping Russia to solve the problem, you have also benefited, right?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "This method can be considered, if possible, I would also like to sign an agreement with Russia to jointly deal with the majority party, after all, they are a cancer , I don't want the three eastern provinces to be infected."

In the past two years, Zhang Tinglan has also dealt with a lot of things, and she is also very clear about the proportions. She should not just be tough, she should be soft. Accepting the plan of co-management with Russia is tantamount to cutting off the dog paws of Britain and Japan. Blocking the possibility of their interference can relieve the pressure on Fengjun.

But in the final analysis, this is a temporary plan. For Zhang Tinglan, he wants to strive for a period of peace in the future, digest the benefits obtained from the Middle East Road this time, and wait for a better opportunity when Fengjun grows stronger.

After some weighing, Zhang Tinglan nodded and agreed to the plan, while Felis was ecstatic. In fact, he still has some power in his hands, especially after Constantine's failure, Felis's power in the Far East has become quite prominent , what is missing is the opportunity to be accepted again. If he successfully resolves the problem on the Middle East Road, he will also have the capital to return the king, so one can imagine his mood.

"Old friend, I have helped you, what are you going to offer in exchange?"

"Can my sister do it?"

When Zhang Tinglan heard that he mentioned women again, her face became gloomy. The two little girls who were sent last time were taken away by Zhou Xinyao without even looking at them, making Zhang Tinglan scratch her heart. , Don't mention how uncomfortable it is in my heart, dare to mention it again, isn't this arousing sadness.

"Just kidding." Felis said hastily: "As long as I regain power, the cooperation will definitely go deeper. I can help you get factories and technicians in the Far East, and even help you purchase machine technology from the Allies. There is only one condition, that is, I need Fengtian to provide me with more supplies and ammunition!"

After this change, Felix's pursuit of strength became even stronger. He originally thought about the country, but now that the Tsar has fallen, Russia is in his heart, and the value is also discounted. The only thing he thinks about now is to be with Zhang Tinglan Form an alliance and use the three eastern provinces as backing to consolidate your power.

Russia is too chaotic, industrial production has stagnated, and workers are unreliable. It is better to give Zhang Tinglan all the machinery and technology, and use the three eastern provinces as a source of weapons and materials.

Felix showed an attitude of complete cooperation, and Zhang Tinglan was also very happy. As long as this guy can help Fengtian wholeheartedly, Fengjun's industrial strength can be improved faster, and doing things under the banner of Russia will be better. It is definitely a win-win thing to be recognized by the great powers.

Zhang Tinglan and Felis formed an embarrassing alliance.For a long time, Zhang Tinglan had planned to evacuate Russia, and now she finally saw the light of day.Felice also found an ideal ally. He left Suifenhe in a hurry, returned to Russia, and went to work.It is also necessary to convince the Russian provisional government to accept this condition as soon as possible. If the troubles on the Middle East Road are not resolved, other things will be just talk on paper.

After sending Felis away, Zhang Xueliang and his train arrived at Suifenhe with a train full of people and goods.Zhang Tinglan also went to greet them in person, counted the harvest, Zhang Tinglan was also overjoyed.

100 million rubles in cash were deposited into Feng Jun's account, and nearly [-] kilograms of gold were sent to the bank.A set of equipment for the production of rails was temporarily shipped to Harbin, and waited until Anshan Iron and Steel was put into production.This set of equipment was sent to Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and the steel produced could be turned into rails immediately.It is then used for railway construction.

In addition, all the tools for railway maintenance were handed over to Dongdong Road.The Middle East Road, which has experienced wars, is also in urgent need of maintenance. Fortunately, the two railways were built by the Russians, and the tools can be used in common.Those ordnance maintenance equipment were also sent to Harbin. There used to be a batch of maintenance equipment in Harbin. Now the combination of the two can build an arsenal.

In this way, Fengjun has Fengtian.The three arsenals in Jilin and Harbin, as long as they are well coordinated, these three arsenals can equip at least [-] troops and sell a large number of weapons.Even in later generations.The world's major arms giants also rely on huge profits from arms sales to maintain their business operations.

Now that the pattern of arms production has been formed, the opportunity for Fengjun to export a large amount to the outside has come. With huge profits, the military industry system can grow stronger, and the more Fengjun sells, the more market share it will leave to Japan. At least, it's a zero-sum game.
