Fengxian Jiangshan

"Of course, I have been thinking about ways to resolve differences these days. Now that the Americans are making a mess, I think China and Japan must negotiate as soon as possible to reach an agreement, and the Americans cannot be allowed to succeed."

Akajiri Masasuke also gradually accepted Zhang Tinglan's explanation, but he frowned and said, "It's useless to say it so nicely. The key is whether you are willing to make concessions and help the Japanese side solve their difficulties." !"

"Mr. Consul General, I have a proposal. Fengtian can provide you with enough soybeans immediately, but there is a premise that the export power of soybean oil cannot be monopolized by Japanese oil mills. Fengtian also has its own oil mill. There must be export power!"

Chapter 400 United Front

The agricultural product trading center in the North Market was full of guests again, and representatives from both China and Japan gathered together again. Not long ago, the Japanese were holding on to the huge profits of the oil extraction industry, and they were not willing to let go at all. But now this At this point, the Japanese no longer had the arrogance and arrogance of the past. Yasuo Kimura and Yoshioshi Shimoda sat obediently opposite Fengtian representative, with their heads slightly lowered, appearing very humble. They lost this round of competition again. The only thing we can do is to minimize losses.

Westerners pursue a concept that the winner takes all. As long as there is a slight advantage, they will change their situation and swallow all the benefits.The way of thinking of the Orientals is not like this, but a win-win situation. This time, the United States wants to swallow 80.00% of the shares, and it is extremely aggressive.

Fengtian only asked Japan to give up its export monopoly of fluorine power, and then provided soybeans to Japan, which seemed to be much more lenient.

Of course, this is not because Zhang Tinglan intends to play a win-win game with the Japanese, but because she doesn't want to tear herself apart with the Japanese. In addition, Zhang Tinglan feels pressured by the actions of the Americans.

If the Americans get their way and monopolize the oil extraction industry, Fengtian will only be in greater trouble if he wants to take it back. It is better to leave it in the hands of the Japanese for a while and share it all, so that the conflict between the United States and Japan will increase. It is also a good thing for Fengtian.

In addition, Zhang Tinglan is also burying evil intentions. As long as the Japanese give up their exclusive export of fluorine power and everyone competes on the same platform, Fengtian will have the advantage of the right time, place and people, and will have an advantage in all directions. It is only a matter of time before it overwhelms Japan.

Kimura and Shimoda are also aware of this, but at this point, they have no other choice, and choose the lesser of two evils.As representatives of the Japanese side, they tremblingly picked up the signing pens, and for a while they didn't know where to sign. The representatives of Fengtian's political and business circles just watched with such interest, and no one gave pointers. them.

Seeing the embarrassment of the Japanese made everyone feel comfortable from the inside out.It's like eating a popsicle in the dog days. Over the years, Japanese soldiers have been rampant in the three eastern provinces, and Japanese businessmen have been bullying the market in the northeast.

What's the benefit, they all eat up, Fengtian's businessmen can only be their slaves, or they are oppressed by them, losing all living space, how many people are forced by them to go bankrupt, their wives and children, a sum of money The accounts of the pen are all recorded in everyone's hearts, and they are never forgotten.

Now I can finally see that the Japanese are so embarrassed that they have to bow their heads to Fengtian and hand over their monopoly fat. Everyone who sees this scene feels a kind of sincere pride!

Yasuo Kimura searched for a long time, and finally wrote down his name with difficulty in the signature place, and then Shimoda Yoshio did the same. After the two guys finished writing, it seemed that all their strength was taken away, although they did not finish Lost the fluorine power of exporting soybean oil, but they also know that the huge profits have come to an end, and they will face the crazy competition of Chinese companies in the future. I am afraid that the brilliant Nissin Oil Factory and Santai Oil Factory will really become the old flowers of yesterday The representative of Japan was dejected and walked out of the trading center with difficulty. At this time, all the Chinese businessmen present couldn't help clapping their hands, their voices were like thunder.Of course, this is not just because of an oil extraction industry, but more because they have a strong government.

Being able to take back their own commercial interests from the big powers, in the huge China, there is almost no government that can do this. The Fengtian government is able to achieve this step, which is indeed worthy of their cheers, as if it is the New Year. Yongjiang has also been concerned about this matter. After such a long time of tossing, it was finally time to harvest. Wang Yongjiang was also very happy. He took Zhang Tinglan's hand and said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, the oil extraction industry has come to us. In his hands, at least 3000 million tax can be increased every year in the future, with this money, Fengtian can do many things again!"

"Mr. Minyuan, do you have any specific plans?"

Wang Yongjiang thought for a while, and then said: "We still have to invest in cooking and education. We have discussed this issue more than once. Now basic education is being rolled out, and vocational education is also developing. But relying on the government's efforts alone is not enough. Many people still don’t realize the importance of education, and there are still many families who can’t afford the funds needed to go to school. Next, I plan to invest in these children who are unwilling or unable to go to school!”

"Mr. Minyuan has a good idea. I think we will implement free lunches in junior and senior primary schools. How about Mr. Minyuan's proposal?"

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, Wang Yongjiang's eyes suddenly brightened. This is indeed a problem he was thinking about. Many ordinary farmers have limited income.Especially in many farming families, children around the age of ten have to work in the fields to earn as much money as possible to fill their stomachs. The family simply cannot afford to support a child who only eats and does not work.

If free lunches are implemented, most of the children's food problems will be solved. For many poor families, it will definitely be a great boon, and it will also attract more and more children to complete primary education. Zhang Tinglan has also studied, if a Children start learning when they are about ten years old. They are basically illiterate and have no hope. If they can study until they are twelve or thirteen years old and finish elementary school, they will basically master simple characters. Learning technology and self-study knowledge, there is still great hope in the future.

This is also the reason why Zhang Tinglan insists on promoting simplified characters. Simplified characters can allow more children to recognize characters in a shorter time, ensuring that they have a basic cultural foundation. If traditional characters are used, basic recognition will take about four hours. It takes five years, but if you change to simplified characters, it will be enough in the early three years. The difference of one and a half years can often determine the fate of a poor family for a lifetime. In order to let more people have the opportunity to change their destiny, Zhang Tinglan treats Young Xin’s implementation of Simplified Chinese Language and Culture is the same consideration for the implementation of free lunches now, which is to allow children to stay in school for as long as possible to acquire more knowledge, and wait until they have their own ideas before entering the society and engaging in labor.

"Zhuoyan is a good idea. I'll ask someone to evaluate it later to see how much the free lunch will cost. If we can afford it, we will implement it immediately."

It is easy to do things with money, and all the hesitant policies can now be implemented smoothly. Zhang Tinglan is very happy about this.

With the taxation of the oil extraction industry, of course, not only can children have a free lunch, but more things can be done, such as expanding the Fengtian Arsenal to achieve the goal of increasing production capacity by ten times; such as building Jifengyi Road to open up the northeast traffic artery For example, to expand the army by two divisions to deal with the threat from Russia. When Zhang Tinglan was making these plans, Chini Zhengsuke found him again. After dealing with him many times, Chini Zhengsuke also understood Zhang Tinglan's position in Fengjun , as long as he agrees to some things, it will work better than Zhang Zuolin nodding.

"Zhang Sang, Fengjun has repeatedly proposed to confront the Russian majority party. I don't know what Fengjun thinks?"

When Zhang Tinglan heard that Chini was helping to ask this question, she had already guessed in her heart that after the Russian Revolution, all countries were planning to interfere in Russia's actions, but the dirty things among countries continued, especially the United States and Japan. Interference in the Far East has been lingering and unresolved.

"Mr. Consul General, China's art of war pays attention to military speed. I think the Russian revolution has just begun. If we act quickly, there is hope of extinguishing it. In addition, both Chinese and Japanese have a large number of expatriates in Russia, and we need to ensure their safety. Therefore, I think no matter from which point of view, sending troops to intervene in Russia as soon as possible is the only correct choice!"

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Chiyu Zhengzhu's eyes finally brightened. How many times have he fought with Feng Jun? Now the two sides finally have a common language. It is really not easy. The government proposed at the Allied Conference that all countries should act together against unilateral action."

"I think this is inappropriate!" Zhang Tinglan shook her head and said, "Countries such as Britain and France are still deeply involved in the war. When their war is over, the majority party will already be on the ground. Such a delay is irresponsible."

"Then what does Fengjun think?"

"I think at least two-handed preparations must be taken. The First Japanese Combined Fleet must control Vladivostok and seal off this Far Eastern port. This will prevent the majority party from obtaining war materials. In addition, the Fengjun is also willing to establish strict prevention and control on the border. network, organize the influx of refugees, and prevent the spread of the ideology of the majority party. As the most powerful country in the Far East, Japan should take a more proactive attitude and provide support for the White Army with weapons and supplies. Of course, this is just my idea. How? The implementation depends on the meaning of the Japanese government.

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Chibizhengsuke finally showed a happy smile on his face. Although Japan and Fengjun had a very unpleasant dispute because of the oil extraction industry, at least the two sides reached a consensus on the issue of dealing with the Russians.

Although the Fengjun is still relatively weak, on a balanced balance, as long as a little more chips are added, huge changes may occur, and Fengjun is this bargaining chip. Japan and the United States are arguing endlessly over the issue of military intervention. Now Fengjun If Japan is supported, it will definitely be good news for Japan.

"Zhang Sang, I think your views are very insightful. The Empire of Japan hopes to sign a common alliance agreement with the Fengjun on the issue of interfering in Russia. The two parties promise to use their best efforts to deal with the Russian majority."

Chibi Masasuke eagerly put forward his own suggestion, but Zhang Tinglan did not take up the conversation. How smart he is, if he formed an alliance with Japan, the Japanese would be able to send troops to Jilin and Heilongjiang in a fair manner. For the army, it is not a good thing.

Little devils are the same as Americans. No matter what time it is, they will never forget their intention to harm others. This kind of alliance proposal is absolutely unacceptable. "Mr. Consul General, Fengjun is willing to support Japan's intervention in Russia, and also hopes that the United States It is best to reach an agreement between Japan and Japan, and everyone will jointly respond to Russia's threats."

Chini Zhengzhu saw that Zhang Tinglan was not as enthusiastic as before, and knew that he was a little impatient, so he didn't go down to the majority.After bidding farewell to Zhang Tinglan, Chini Masasuke contacted US Consul General Baker.

Sure enough, there are only eternal interests between countries, and there are no eternal enemies or friends. Because of the problem of the oil extraction industry, China, the United States and Japan are constantly fighting each other, and each has a small plan. got together.

As soon as they met, Zhang Tinglan gave Baiker a memo and said with a smile: "Mr. Consul General, this is some evidence that our country has collected so far for the activities of the majority party on the Sino-Russian border. You may wish to take a look first. The majority The influence of the party is greater than imagined."

"It's impossible!" After flipping the page, Baker was surprised: "The majority party's proposition is completely against the people's fluorine, destroys freedom, and tramples on the rule of law. Only lunatics will believe them. Don't Russians believe it?" Are you crazy?"

"It's not that the Russians are crazy!" Chini Masasuke said, "It's that some people can't just sit in the office and rely on their imagination to judge the problem. They should pay more attention to the real things. The threat of the majority party is imminent. Troops must be dispatched to intervene immediately!"

Zhang Tinglan also smiled and said: "Mr. Baker, I suggest that the three parties can sign an intelligence sharing agreement, and then set up a coordination organization to inform each other and strengthen communication!"! .

Chapter 4 and One

Temporarily cooperating with the United States and Japan to counter the threat of Russia is an established strategy, but the extent of cooperation is still a matter that needs to be carefully determined. Zhang Tinglan will definitely not immediately form an alliance with the United States and Japan, but between the two. Keep a certain distance so that you can have both sides.

No matter what era, a small country has two ways of living, one is to beg for food, and the other is to earn a living. Promising small countries can travel between big countries and absorb nutrients from many sources.As a warlord with lofty aspirations, Zhang Tinglan will naturally not be willing to be controlled by the great powers, and then beg the great powers to implement it. All buried.

US Consul General Baker's eyes rolled wildly. He didn't have any resistance to Zhang Tinglan's proposal. Engaging in intelligence sharing and establishing a communication mechanism are all what the United States needs to do. Now Russia is in a mess, and no one can figure it out. Come, intelligence support is urgently needed.

However, the attitude of the Japanese made Baiker a little anxious. These little guys made it clear that they would send troops to Russia immediately to monopolize the interests of the Far East. How could the United States agree.However, the maze system of the United States determines that at this critical moment, their ability to make decisions is questionable, so a lot of time is wasted in buck-passing and arguing.

"I agree with the intelligence contribution proposal, but whether to send troops or not, I think all countries must coordinate. This is the unchanging position of the US government."

Akajiri Zhengsuke saw the United States' statement, but he could only shrug his shoulders and stopped advocating war. The three parties quickly initialed an intelligence cooperation agreement.

After the cooperation agreement was established, Baker quickly found Zhang Tinglan again. He had received domestic instructions to obtain information on the majority party as soon as possible, so he found Zhang Tinglan again.

"Zhang, how much does Fengtian know about the situation in Russia, and how much information can it provide us?"

"Mr. Consul General, I provided you with a memorandum earlier. All the information in it was carefully sorted out by us. The situation in Russia is indeed not optimistic. The current power of the majority party is still very weak, but they are well-organized and very powerful. Form an iron fist. Although the White Army has a large number of people, they are divided from each other and fight endlessly. It is difficult to form a joint force, and they cannot give full play to their own advantages. In addition, among the Russian people, they are more and more full of expectations for the majority party , they want to get rid of the war, they want to bury the old system, considering all aspects, I think that if the countries do not intervene as soon as possible, the Russian majority party will inevitably seize the power of the whole of Russia."

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, he took out another stack of documents. Evidence is definitely not enough to talk in plain language, and evidence must be paid attention to. These things include leaflets distributed by the Russian majority party, investigation reports provided by Chinese intelligence personnel, and a copy of the original Russian Far East A personal letter from Governor Felix.

Zhang Tinglan handed the letter to Baker and said to him: "Mr. Consul General, Governor Felix is ​​the nephew of the Tsar. He has a clear understanding of the dangers in the Far East. In just over a month Within a short period of time, there were hundreds of riots, countless demonstrations, more than 2000 people died, and the Russian Provisional Government could only control some large cities, 80.00% of the villages and towns were out of control, even in the cities, they could Everywhere you see people preaching the theory of the majority."

Baker looked at these things, and his brows became more and more tight. It is true that the situation in Russia is worse than the Americans imagined. Perhaps sending troops is the only correct choice, but the United States has not made a decision. Could it be that they can only watch Are the Japanese dominating the Far East?

"Damn it!" Baker slapped his thigh violently, not knowing whether he was complaining about the domestic bureaucrats or hating the Japanese.

After thinking for a while, Bai Keer suddenly saw Zhang Tinglan in front of him. This young man was still smiling. On the ground in the Far East, there were not only the United States and Japan, but also the power of Fengjun. The game between the three parties.

Although China is the weakest side, as long as it wins the support of Feng Jun, the United States will have an extra bargaining chip to check and balance Japan. Thinking of this, Bai Keer also understands why Zhang Tinglan is full of confidence. He has already seen through After this move, the United States must increase its support for Fengtian.

Now China and the United States have had a good interaction because of the soybean issue, but at the last moment, the Americans were clever and wanted to monopolize the profits. As a result, Feng Tian turned to reach an understanding with Japan and let the little devil get out of the way.
