Hearing the price offered by Zhang Tinglan, Ivanov almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. This is too outrageous, at least ten times the price. He is a complete poor man now, where can he get such money? !

"Mr. Zhang, this price is at least ten times higher, which is really unacceptable. We have a common enemy. The Japanese army trampled on Russian land, and they assassinated Mr. Zhang Zuolin. Fighting alone is actually helping you share the pressure, which is good for Fengjun."

"Mr. Ivanov, I handed over the weapon to you. How to use it depends entirely on your mind. Who can guarantee that you will not bite Fengjun back. You must know that the Russian side is also dissatisfied with our garrison Hailan."

Ivanov is also an eloquent person. He said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, Japan has [-] garrisons in the Far East and is our number one enemy. Naturally, we will focus our main efforts on dealing with the Japanese. And Zhang Please also pay attention, sir, if the Japanese transfer these troops to the Far East, what pressure it will put on the Fengjun!"

Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile: "Mr. Ivanov, you are right. I can lower the price and give you the best price. But there is a premise that you must follow my arrangement and carry out a military operation. "

Ivanov pondered for a while, and then said: "I must understand the content of military operations, I will not joke about the safety of the army!"

"Okay, I'll have the staff talk to you right away, within a month. The action must be finalized."

After the two sides discussed it, Zhang Tinglan hurried back to Fengtian. He had already lost a lot of money, and the next step was to step up planning to ensure that the crucial machinery and equipment could return to Fengtian safely.

But Zhang Tinglan had just returned to Fengtian.Many businessmen from the Fengtian Industrial Group jointly approached them, with Liu Shucheng, Qiao Ruixuan, Song Zhongyi, Fan Xudong and others taking the lead.All rushed over.

"Commander-in-Chief, the Japanese have cut off the South-Manchuria Railway for about a week, causing serious losses. How long do you think we have to hold on before the Japanese give in?" Liu Shucheng asked anxiously.

Fan Xudong on the side also said: "Commander-in-Chief, boycotting Japanese products is also a duty-bound thing for us. It's just that our foundation is too weak. If we continue to fight like this, we are worried that we will not bring down Japanese companies, but let Fengtian The industry collapsed first. This is not worth the loss!"

Zhang Tinglan was able to make these businessmen surround him and form a strong alliance. Apart from strong strength, the most important thing was to bring huge benefits to everyone.It is also very unrealistic to let these people give up their interests based on their prestige alone, and it will also damage their own prestige.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone's worries are justified, but before that, I want to tell you a piece of good news. The Jifeng Railway will be opened to traffic within a month. This railway avoids Nanman Road. The new transportation artery of the three northeastern provinces, the railway is completely designed and constructed by us, and the freight is at least [-]% cheaper than the Japanese."

Upon hearing this news, the eyes of these merchants present were immediately brightened. Merchants are the most sensitive to profit. In the past, the Japanese relied on their unique monopoly position to push up shipping costs, making merchants in the three eastern provinces miserable. If you can't get rid of it, you can only accept your fate and be slaughtered.

But at this time, when Zhang Tinglan said that the Jifeng Railway was about to open to traffic, they would not be oppressed by the Japanese, and they all cheered for joy.

"Commander-in-Chief, I already knew that you had far-sighted plans. I never thought that there would be such a hand waiting here. If I had known, we would not have to worry. There will be Jifeng Railway in the future, and the Nanman Railway will go away. We will never be on it. Transport a wagon!" Song Zhongyi said with a smile.

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "Everyone, we have jointly fought against the Japanese these days, and we have paid a lot. The government will not let patriotic businessmen suffer losses. I want to compensate everyone."

"The commander-in-chief is serious. It is our duty to do our best for the country. How can we ask for rewards!" Liu Shucheng hastily refused.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Old Liu, don't refuse. It is right to be patriotic. If you do it right, you will be rewarded. If you do it because of patriotism, you will lose economic benefits. This is equivalent to being punished for doing good deeds. It makes sense." The above doesn’t make sense! But I won’t give you bonuses directly. Now that the Jifeng Railway is completed, I plan to set up the Northeast Railway Operations Corporation, and all businessmen who participate in the boycott of Japan are eligible to buy shares.”

The railway is definitely a lucrative industry. Otherwise, the big powers would not rush to build it. These businessmen know it well, but they have limited strength and cannot participate in it at all.

But now that Zhang Tinglan left the opportunity to them, these people were immediately overjoyed, showing an attitude of eagerness to try.Originally, there were some people who had some opinions on Zhang Tinglan because of the loss of interests due to the problem of the South Manchuria Railway. Now that they heard about the opportunity to buy a stake in the railway company, that bit of resentment completely dissipated, and everyone felt like it was Chinese New Year.

Zhang Tinglan looked at the excited businessmen and said with a smile: "I just want to tell everyone that the interests of the government and yours are the same. As long as you stand by the government, you can get rich rewards. As long as we work together, Together, we can drive the Japanese forces out of the three eastern provinces!"

"The Commander-in-Chief said very well, we all follow you, absolutely without any double-heartedness."

Zhang Tinglan has also just come to power, and his foundation is far from solid. He threw out the big cake of the railway, just to win people's hearts, especially to win over powerful businessmen. Judging from the performance of these people, this step has already taken the right step.

After receiving Zhang Tinglan's promise, all the businessmen were extremely excited, and continued to confront Japan with confidence and boldness. The "five no's policy" continued to persist, and the Japanese business share in the three eastern provinces continued to shrink. These guys were also very surprised. Thinking of the Fengtian businessman who was so tenacious.

After three weeks in a row, the good news finally came that the Jifeng Railway was finally completed. After receiving the report, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly invited representatives from all walks of life in Fengtian, as well as all the great powers, to attend the opening ceremony.

After the news spread, the Northeast was shaken again. Finally, there was a railway built by itself, and finally there was no need to be controlled by others. Everyone swept away the haze in their hearts and raised their chests high!

Chapter 464 I'm in a bad mood

"In view of the serious flaws in the safety and service of the South Manchuria Railway controlled by the Japanese side, in order to ensure the smooth transportation of passengers and goods in the Northeast, it is recommended that all Chinese businessmen use their own railway transportation as much as possible and get rid of their dependence on the South Manchuria Railway. To ensure the smooth flow of transportation.”

On the eve of the opening of the Jifeng Railway, Fengtian Industrial Group issued such a shortened announcement to the outside world.Although the number of words is limited, it stirred up waves for a while, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is another escalation of the battle between Fengjun and Japan.

Originally, Fengjun could only block Japan in import and export commodities, but the Japanese used railways to block Fengjun. In fact, this was a lose-lose war of attrition, and it depended on who could not sustain the compromise first.Public opinion in the outside world is generally not optimistic about Fengjun. After all, Japan's national power is there, and the whole of China is not an opponent of the Japanese. Moreover, Fengjun has just experienced a civil strife, and it will not last long before it will compromise with the Japanese.

But how did you know that Feng Jun not only did not compromise, but also took out a second hand? It was broken, and the Japanese don't want to accept money comfortably.

As we all know, the origin of the Revolution of [-] was the Road Protection Movement in Sichuan. Chinese people in this era are still very sensitive to railways. This is not only an economic artery, but also a symbol of national sovereignty. Having an independently operated railway is a symbol of many Chinese enterprises. A visionary's dream.

After the news of the opening of the Jifeng Railway to traffic spread, the three eastern provinces were shaken, and the whole world was shaken.A large number of celebrities from all walks of life and representatives of the people gathered in Fengtian to participate in the opening ceremony.Not only the people of the country, but even the big powers have cast their attention, just like the military parade held by the Fengjun last time, this is a show of strength.

Now is another sensitive period, Fengjun and Japan are still in a hostile relationship, and Zhang Zuolin's death is still an unsolved case, which has not come to an end.Every time Fengtian shows its strength is a heavy pressure on Japan. The big powers also need to re-evaluate the power of this place to see how strong it is and whether it is worthy of great support.

All kinds of factors came together, and the opening ceremony of the Ji-Feng Railway became extremely lively. Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen were all present, Zhang Tinglan, Wang Yongjiang and other military and civil officials from the Fengtian Army were there, and the Consul Generals in Fengtian from the United States, Britain, France, and Japan were also present. All present.

There are also quite a few Fengtian business experts who are most concerned about this railway. Everyone is looking forward to this month. Everyone has quite a squeeze of goods. They have long hoped that after the opening of the railway, the goods can be shipped out quickly.

At this moment, Akajiri Masasuke, who had been watching among the crowd, had a look of disdain on his face and a sneer at the corner of his mouth.American Consul General Baker said with a smile after seeing it: "Mr. Akajiri, I have to say that the Gibong Railway has a huge impact on Japan's interests, don't you feel it?"

"Of course I know, but just having rails can't be called a railway." Akajiri Masasuke sneered: "Do they have enough locomotives and carriages? Without these things, they still can't put into operation immediately. Ignorant Chinese people, they need to ask The big powers imported locomotives, but as far as I know, they have not done this. So the Jifeng Railway will not be able to officially operate for at least a few months, and this time is enough for them to succumb!"

Akajiri Masasuke knew that the United States, Britain and other countries wanted to support Fengjun against Japan, so he said this bluntly to dissuade the Americans. Fengjun is not an opponent of the Japanese at all, and you have no need to support it.

Baker shrugged his shoulders. He thought about it carefully, and basically agreed with Akajiri Masasuke. After all, the railway is a systematic project, which cannot be completed in one step, but at least it is a manifestation of Fengtian's strength.

All the guests are almost here. Zhang Tinglan stood behind the podium and said to all the guests: "Fengtian talents from all walks of life, friends from all over the world, friends from abroad, hello everyone! Here I want to inform you of an exciting news. The first railway constructed, constructed and constructed by Fengjun himself, the Jifeng Railway! It is officially open to traffic!"

When Zhang Tinglan said this, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience. Every Chinese present was honored. China already has some railways, but most of these railways are in the hands of the big powers, and the Chinese only have some. Branch lines at the corners.

The Jifeng Railway is an important artery of the three eastern provinces, and it also aims to guide the Manchurian Railway directly. The meaning is self-evident, and everyone present can't help but get excited.

When the warm applause stopped, Zhang Tinglan continued: "Ji-Feng Railway can be opened to traffic smoothly. First of all, we must thank the construction team headed by Mr. Zhan Tianyou. A railway of more than [-] kilometers was repaired. It was they who opened a new chapter in the railway construction of the three eastern provinces. In about half an hour, Mr. Zhan Tianyou will lead his team to take the first train. Come to Fengtian and celebrate this exciting moment with everyone!"

The applause and cheers from the audience rose again in an instant. Zhan Tianyou built the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, which is famous all over the world, and now he has built the Jifeng Railway, which is really amazing.

"I also want to tell you a piece of good news. The Harbin Railway Vehicle Company overcame the difficulty of railway locomotives half a year ago. After half a year of hard work, they have produced [-] steam locomotives. From now on, the Middle East Road and the The trains running on the Jifeng Railway will all be localized!"

The new news released by Zhang Tinglan is many times more explosive than the previous news. Although there are not many domestic railways, there are still some after all, but domestic locomotives are blank.This time, Feng Jun not only filled in the gaps, but built [-] vehicles at once, which is obviously a sign of mass production.

After solving the problem of locomotives, all the difficulties that restricted Fengjun to build railways disappeared. In the future, not only the Jifeng Railway, but also the entire Northeast, a large number of railways will quickly appear.All the businessmen and common people cheered loudly, it was even more lively than New Year's Eve.

The haze brought by the rebellion was also swept away, and everyone regained their high fighting spirit. No matter what, Northeast China is the most industrially developed area in China. With a strong industrial foundation, everything will be possible. Those who think that the Fengjun will never recover The rumors are self-defeating.

Some people were happy and some were sad, the Chinese business people cheered enthusiastically, and the faces of Akajiri Masasuke and other Japanese all turned livid.The Jifeng Railway was built completely independently, and the Japanese had no room to intervene. After thinking about it, they decided to hold Fengjun by locomotive, so the Japanese government and the foreign powers have contacted.

Let them respect Japan's sphere of influence and not allow the sale of locomotives to the Fengjun. Akajiri Masasuke thought that with this agreement, the Jifeng Railway would become road-free and car-free, and it would become a decoration.

But Japan miscalculated again. Feng Jun had already produced locomotives with his own efforts, and his calculation failed again.Akajiri Zhengsuke heard the cheers of the people of Fengtian at this time, it was like a magic sound, his head hurt unbearably, as if his heart was being cut out, and he was extremely aggrieved.

At this time, Bai Keer smiled at him: "Obviously, your information is wrong again, Fengtian can really bring surprises to people!"

Akajiri Masasuke felt that everyone present was laughing at him, and his face turned red and white, making him extremely uncomfortable.

While talking, there was the sound of a train approaching the station. A train in the distance was smoking and ran over. After seeing this train, everyone present became excited and slapped their hands red. .

The train gradually entered the station, and the entire Fengtian Station was filled with lively firecrackers. After the train stopped, Zhan Tianyou walked out first, followed closely by Kuang Jingyang. Both of them were young children studying in the United States. Nearly 20 years old, at this time, the Jifeng Railway was built and the locomotives made in China were produced. Both of them were very happy, as if they were [-] years younger, and walked over quickly.

Behind them followed a group of designers and workers. Unexpectedly, among these workers, there were many ordinary farmers. Although they were neatly dressed, their identities were revealed by the weathered faces.These farmers are not quite used to such a lively scene, and they seem a little at a loss.

Zhang Tinglan greeted Zhan Tianyou to the podium, and said with a smile: "Mr. Dachao, the railway was completed ahead of schedule, and you have contributed a lot. Let me tell you a few words."

Zhan Tianyou nodded, walked to the front of the stage, bowed to everyone, and then said: "The opening of the Jifeng Railway is not due to God's blessing, but the sweat of countless people in the three eastern provinces. Every time the railway is repaired In one place, tens of thousands of local migrant workers volunteered to work. They brought their own dry food and drinking water and did not ask for a penny from the government. The land acquisition along the way was also very smooth, and they all cooperated with each other. At least half of the workload was undertaken. It can be said that this railway was carried by the people of Northeast China with their shoulders and repaired with their hands."
