Fengxian Jiangshan

It has been half a year since leaving Fengtian to Europe, and then returning to Fengtian. During this period, the whole world has undergone drastic changes. Under the torment, Europe's vitality was severely injured, and he was already showing signs of fatigue.

Compared with the world, the changes in Fengjun are farther away. Zhang Zuolin has left. Some of the old-school figures in Fengjun have died, some have been detained because of their involvement in the case, and some have begun to fade out of the decision-making circle.This is an astonishing reshuffle. Although Kuang Rongguang is only a technical talent, he is also extremely sensitive to this drastic change.

From the bottom of my heart, Kuang Rongguang is very happy that Zhang Tinglan has successfully ascended to the position. Compared with Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Tinglan is more innovative, more courageous and means.In particular, most of the new policies in the three eastern provinces in these years were promoted by Zhang Tinglan. What pleased Kuang Rongguang the most was that Zhang Tinglan spared no effort in supporting industrial development, which was second to none among the princes in the country.

With such a headed family, the development of the Northeast will definitely be faster.When we met again, Kuang Rongguang was overjoyed and said to Zhang Tinglan with a smile: "Zhuoyan, the scale of the two sets of steel equipment we got this time is not the largest in Germany, but the technical level is quite good. It can not only supply arsenals It can be used, and it can also be used on naval ships, as long as it can be digested and absorbed, another short board will be filled!"

As we all know, there are a lot of salt and minerals in seawater, which is extremely corrosive. If no special treatment is done, as long as the steel is stained with seawater, corrosion problems will occur.

Now Fengjun is also preparing to build a shipyard, but some key steel plates still need to be purchased from abroad. This is only a small ship of less than [-] tons. If you want to build a larger ship, the problem of materials must be overcome. The most troublesome level.

Zhang Tinglan didn't expect Kuang Rongguang and the others to be able to get back such a treasure, and his face was already full of joy. He and Yang Yuting stepped onto the freighter in person, looking at those huge and cold machines, Zhang Tinglan's eyes glowed with blazing light, These things are a steady stream of high-quality steel, the cannons of warships, and the source of power to crush Japan!

"Mr. Kuang, Anshan Iron and Steel is now the most powerful, most technologically advanced, and largest factory in Fengtian Iron and Steel Industry. I plan to put this batch of equipment mainly in Anshan. But these eggs cannot be put in one basket, and other regions must be fully utilized. Coal and iron resources, build more steel plants."

"That's right, at the beginning of Anshan Iron and Steel's construction, it was positioned as an old hen, and then more chickens were hatched to allow the steel plant to be fully established in the Northeast. In the past, the conditions were immature in all aspects, and we could only do our best. Now that we have the conditions to build Anshan Iron and Steel, we can build a few more steel factories."

Building more steel factories will not only expand production capacity, but also ensure the supply of steel as much as possible during the war, so that if a steel factory is destroyed, the supply will not be able to keep up. This is also an inevitable choice.

"Mr. Kuang, during this period of time, I have learned about the mine situation in Northeast China. The most suitable place for coal and iron joint ventures is the Benxi area of ​​Anshan. However, there are also a lot of coal and iron resources in other areas, and it is completely possible to establish a mine of tens of thousands of tons, or even [-] tons. Ton-level steel plants. Tonghua and Yichun in Jilin, and Chifeng in Rehe all have rich resources. I plan to transport part of the equipment to these areas and build three steel plants. The next step is to focus on East China Sea. Mongolia, and even the northwest area, where the economy is backward and deep inland, building factories can develop the economy and avoid the Japanese soldiers.”

Kuang Rongguang nodded, and then said: "Zhuoyan's idea is very good, and I agree with it. After the equipment is shipped back this time, I plan to investigate around again, so that I can know the distribution of resources in the Northeast and establish a Three steel plants are still a bit small, at least five more should be built.”

Zhang Tinglan has always been known for his generous handling of affairs, this is the first time someone said that his handwriting is small, Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but feel amused, the old man Kuang Rongguang did a lot of work by boat, he was a little confused!

"Mr. Kuang, if conditions permit, we can build ten or eight. But isn't our equipment and workers limited now, how can we build so many at once?"

"Hahaha! Humble words, that was in the past, the situation has changed, this is the first batch of equipment, as long as the follow-up equipment is shipped back, we can build large-scale industrial equipment by ourselves. Steel plants, power plants, cement plants The large-scale equipment needed can be solved. In addition, Germany, Tsarist Russia, Austria-Hungary and other countries have all collapsed, and a large number of talents have been idled. We only need to get some and train ourselves. Within five years, we will build five Steel plant, no problem at all."

Kuang Rongguang never talked empty words, from his confident expression, Zhang Tinglan noticed something strange, and hurriedly asked with a smile: "Mr. Kuang, did you get something valuable this time, otherwise how could you be so confident? "

"Zhuoyan, I really made you guess right. We got a [-]-ton die forging press and two [-]-ton hydraulic presses. These are the treasures of the country. Those little Japanese devils None of them. If we need to transport these heavy machines back to the three provinces in the Northeast, we can process large equipment parts. Several tons of steel are placed on the forging press, just like kneading dough. You can make whatever shape you want. What shape can be made. Not only heavy equipment, but also load-bearing devices for aircraft, ships, cannons, armored vehicles and other weapons can be produced. With this thing, it can have unparalleled value in the field of military and civilian use!"

Die forging press!It is still in the [-]-ton class. Zhang Tinglan doesn't know the importance of this kind of machine. The more he knows, the more excited he is.In later generations, large-scale forging presses are also known as the country's most important equipment, such as the main bearing frame of aircraft, large-scale equipment in power stations, steel rolling, and shipbuilding, all of which cannot be separated from large-scale forging presses.With this thing, the production efficiency is doubled, the quality is greatly increased, and a lot of materials can be saved.

During production, the forged parts are exquisite and accurate, the quality is excellent, the workers are easy to use and operate, the maintenance is convenient, and it is suitable for large-scale assembly line production. The various benefits are simply endless.More importantly, Zhang Tinglan knew that before World War II, only Britain and Germany were able to produce die forging presses of more than [-] tons, and Germany was the leader.As for the United States, it does not have this capability. It can only build a forging press with a maximum of [-] tons.

If Fengjun can now obtain 20-ton die forging presses and completely digest and absorb them, within [-] years, as long as they can manufacture [-]-ton die forging presses, they will be able to compare with the United States, let alone surpass Japan.If it can produce [-]-ton level, it will be a leader in the world.At that time, China will also be able to produce various weapons like dumplings, and rely on the torrent of steel to completely crush and crush opponents to death!

Knowing the importance of this kind of machinery, Zhang Tinglan was particularly excited: "Mr. Kuang, this level of equipment is directly related to a country's industrial strength. Where is it, there must be no mistakes, or it will be too late to regret.”

"Zhuoyan really knows how to do it. This is due to Xia Han's efforts. We bought a French general who was in charge of occupying the Ruhr area and could decide the fate of these factories and equipment. We spent a total of 700 million US dollars. After getting the forging machine, we shipped it out of Europe immediately. When we crossed the English Channel, we were almost discovered by the British navy. Xia Han and I both thought that if we go back to China through the Suez Canal , We will also encounter British investigations along the way, so we changed our original plan and shipped the equipment to Brazil first, and then tried to ship it back."

Although Kuang Rongguang didn't go into details, the hardships and dangers involved were astonishing. As long as a little news leaked out, it would lead to a catastrophe. Fortunately, everything was safe, and they successfully transferred the machine to Brazil. This is the only way The problem is that it increases the shipping time.

But it was a blessing in disguise. It was only after they transported the equipment to Brazil that they realized that there was a conflict between Fengjun and the Japanese. The two sides were on the brink of war.If the equipment is recklessly transported back to the country at this time, I am afraid that it will be intercepted by the Japanese and cause even greater trouble.

"Zhuoyan, to be on the safe side, we put those equipment in Brazil first, and then I rented a cargo ship from the United States to bring back the most important steel equipment. Now Chen Qiming is in Brazil to take care of this batch of equipment. Zhuoyan, do you have Is there any good way to transport these machines back smoothly?"

Zhang Tinglan's brows were tightly furrowed. Although the things are good, they cannot be used until they are in hand.However, if you want to transport it back to the country safely, you need to spend a lot of thought, especially with such a relationship with the Japanese. How could they want to see the strength of Fengjun double, and they will definitely try their best to stop it.

Not only the Japanese, but even the United States, Britain and other countries will not allow Fengtian to own a large forging press. Once the news is leaked, it may provoke pressure from the big powers, and this piece of meat may not be swallowed. Zhang Tinglan’s My mind couldn't help but turn quickly.

Some time ago, I was able to get such equipment entirely by mobbing in troubled waters, but now that the Paris peace conference has ended, the great powers have temporarily divided up the benefits, and they have the spirit to focus on other things. When the equipment is safely transported back, the trouble is infinitely greater.

"Mr. Kuang, although Brazil is far away in South America, it can temporarily avoid the eyes and ears of the big powers, but it is not a long-term solution after all. It must be shipped back as soon as possible. However, there is no other way for this kind of large machinery except for sea transportation."

"That's right, but China's coastal areas are controlled by foreign powers. There is Britain in the south and Japan in the north. These two countries will not allow us to transport the equipment back to China smoothly. I was also worried about this matter along the way."

Zhang Tinglan couldn't help flashing the sea chart of the Pacific Ocean in his mind. The lanes leading to the three eastern provinces are all vivid in his mind. Zhang Tinglan slowly thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Cheng Zhuzai's expression on Xiong.

"Mr. Kuang, I already have a solution, don't worry, I am absolutely sure to get all the machines back!"

"Zhuoyan, as long as you have a way, I believe in your brain." Kuang Rongguang said with a smile: "Now that Xia Han is still in Europe, he will continue to purchase equipment and recruit various talents. Everything happens again and again. Again and again, every time you move, you will increase the chance of exposure, and you must arrange it well, otherwise it will be a small matter to lose a little money, but if it delays the overall situation of industrial construction, it will be troublesome."

Of course, Zhang Tinglan is also aware of the key. Steel is the foundation of everything, so get back the steel equipment first. Large forging presses are the most important equipment in the country, and they must be brought back as soon as possible. The rest of the equipment and personnel can be postponed for a while. , dispersed and shipped back to the country on the line.

"If you give up, you will gain. It seems that you need to let the wolves see a little meat to attract their attention!" Zhang Tinglan said to herself, thinking constantly in her mind.

Kuang Rongguang was responsible for transporting the machinery and equipment to Anshan, while Zhang Tinglan started his own arrangements.At this time, Li Jinglin, who was in charge of Hailan, sent a confidential telegram, saying that Ivanov of the Far East Liberation Army asked Fengjun for weapons assistance.

Ivanov was a political prisoner released when the Feng army attacked Shuangchengzi. He had been active in the Far East and had a strong force under him. After seeing the telegram, Zhang Tinglan immediately thought of a way to let the Japanese Pay a heavy price, and get the equipment back safely! rs! .

Chapter 463 Open to Traffic

The Russian civil war has lasted for two years. At the beginning, the war situation was extremely unfavorable to the majority party, and the White Army almost wiped them out.However, with the passage of time, the majority party gradually gained a firm foothold and launched continuous counter-offensives. In the direction of Europe, the White Army retreated steadily.

In the low area of ​​the Far East, due to the participation of Japan and the United States, the White Army side firmly controls the overall situation, and most of the party's followers hide underground, playing hide-and-seek games with the White Army and the Intervention Army.

As the leader of the largest majority force in the Far East, Ivanov can be called a banner figure in the Far East. Whether it is the Japanese or Belarus, everyone wants to catch him, but Ivanov, relying on his superb anti-reconnaissance ability, Dodged danger time and time again.

But now Ivanov doesn't want to hide anymore, the war situation in Europe has turned around, the army of the majority party is launching an attack in the direction of Asia, and Kolchak has shown signs of fatigue.At this time, the military guerrillas in the Far East must cooperate with the main force of the Russian army to contain White Russia and foreign intervention forces.

Of course, if you want to do this, you need the support of arms and medicines. After Ivanov thought twice, he had to beg for help from Fengjun.This sounds like a very absurd thing. China is actually a party of the intervention army and the enemy of the majority party, so how can it provide help!

"Comrade Ivanov, I think your idea is completely whimsical. It is a compromise and surrender to imperialism. It is an unforgivable betrayal! You must conduct a self-reflection, abandon these delusions, mobilize the workers and peasants in the Far East, and let them arm themselves. Rise up and fight against the white bandits!"

The one who spoke was Alyev, a representative sent by Moscow, who usually likes to point fingers, with the appearance of an imperial envoy.Ivanov despised him very much.

"On behalf of comrades, any decision must be made based on reality, but out of thin air. In the Far East, the reactionary forces are unprecedentedly strong. Our soldiers lack food and clothing, and weapons and equipment are seriously lacking. There are no factories available here. Is it necessary to Let the soldiers resist the bullets with their chests and the bayonets with their fists?"

What Ivanov said is the truth, the Far East is inherently barren.suffered another turmoil.The population was lost, the economy collapsed, and there was a lack of everything. The Far East Liberation Army was extremely desperate, like a group of beggars.Without outside support.They couldn't sustain it at all, but Alyev didn't see it that way.

He said loudly: "The enemy's army is all mercenaries. They are all bandits and hooligans without faith. Brave fighters will not be afraid of them. As long as we fight bravely, victory will definitely belong to us!"

"Have you ever really understood the enemy? Do you know how tenacious the Japanese army is? Do you understand the industrial strength of the Americans? It is a crime for soldiers to fight against a powerful enemy with bare hands!"

Ivanov was already disgusted with the esteemed representative.He said to everyone: "Dear comrades, our cause has been jointly contained by all imperialist countries, and we are struggling. But everyone must also clearly see the many contradictions among imperialist countries, out of greed They are intriguing, especially between China and Japan, which is even more contradictory. The Japanese assassinated the leader of Fengjun, and the entire Far East has changed because of this assassination. We should use this opportunity to get Everything needed."

Many participants agreed with Ivanov's words and kept nodding their heads frequently. Ivanov glanced at Alyev contemptuously and said loudly: "An excellent revolutionary must learn to proceed from reality. , use all kinds of contradictions, be flexible enough, and not dogmatically believe in books! If you have time, it is best to go down to understand the actual situation, instead of hiding in the room and imagining unrealistic slogans!"

Ivanov was very harsh, and Alyev was already furious, but in the Far East, he didn't have the strength to challenge Ivanov at all, so he could only swallow his anger for the time being.After Ivanov explained the work at hand, he hurried to Hailan, where Zhang Tinglan was also waiting.

"Mr. Ivanov, we haven't seen each other for more than two years. You are more like a general than a scholar."

"Mr. Zhang, you are more powerful than before, which makes me look forward to the cooperation with Fengjun even more."

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "We are still enemies in name, so it might be inappropriate to talk about cooperation!"

"It is true that we are enemies, but we still have common enemies. At least for the time being, we are friends, friends who can cooperate."

"Well, Mr. Ivanov, since this is the case, let's have a frank and honest talk. What exactly do you need?"

Ivanov nodded, took out a list, and sent it to Zhang Tinglan, which contained a large list of things.These include 500 rifles, [-] million bullets, [-] tons of wheat, [-] mountain cannons, mortars, grenades, and so on.

Zhang Tinglan did a simple calculation, and the total sum of all kinds of things would cost at least 200 million. Of course, this is the price purchased by Fengjun himself. If the Russians want to buy it, especially if the majority party wants to buy it, then it is not the price.

"These things are neither too much nor too little. As long as you take out 2000 million, I will sell them to you."
