Fengxian Jiangshan

When Wu Peifu said this, there was a fiery light in his eyes, and he stared at Zhang Tinglan. Zhang Tinglan waved his hand slightly: "Mr. Wu, Fengjun is changing clothes. I don't have enough, I really can't provide you with ah!"

"As expected, how can Commander-in-Chief Zhang give up such a good thing!" Wu Peifu said with a wry smile, "I don't look at the equipment anymore, I'm just greedy!"

Speaking of Wu Peifu turning around to leave, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Zhang brought you over to look at the weapons, and the equipment provides these things for you. It's just that the heavy artillery in front of the army needs to be changed, and there is really no way to provide it. However, we also have a 150mm howitzer, which is the standard equipment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, if you want it, I can provide you with eighteen of them!"

Upon hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, Wu Peifu's eyes widened immediately. He wanted to leave on purpose just now, in order to force Zhang Tinglan into the army and force him to let go.However, Wu Peifu didn't have much confidence in his heart. After all, this level of heavy artillery is definitely a good thing at the bottom of the box, especially since Fengjun has just equipped it, the hope of getting it is too slim.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tinglan actually agreed, and took out [-] of them all at once. Although they were not Fengjun's standard equipment, they were of the same level anyway, and Wu Peifu was also very happy.

"Commander Zhang, you are really refreshing. I don't know when the delivery will be delivered?"

"Mr. Wu, I always mean what I say, and I can transport it to you at any time. But Fengjun's equipment is more than that, don't you want to see other things?"

"Of course I want to see it, but to be honest, I am a little surprised that Commander Zhang can provide heavy artillery. If I see other good things, I am afraid that Wu will not be able to move his legs, and it is not convenient for you to give them. Does it hurt peace!"

Zhang Tinglan laughed loudly: "Mr. Wu, you are forcing me to hand over all the good things to you. Who told us to hit it off immediately? You can look at it as you like. As long as you like it, I, Zhang Zhuoyan, will never say anything, and I will try my best." Offer, I will give you whatever you want."

"really?"

"A man promises a thousand gold, and I will still deceive Mr. Wu!"

"Okay! Wu is welcome." Wu Peifu said, and accompanied by Zhang Tinglan, he went to the barracks where the cannons were installed.In addition to the 150mm howitzer, there is also a 120mm howitzer. Although this level is slightly less powerful, it is also relatively light. Compared with the [-]th gun, it has an overwhelming advantage, which also makes Wu Peifu greedy.

"Mr. Wu, Fengjun's weapons refer to Russian equipment. The caliber of the artillery includes 76mm, 120mm, 150mm, and 82mm. There are also mortars and grenades, with 120mm Yes, there are [-]mm, [-]mm, and [-]mm. The categories are relatively complete. It may take a lot of effort to rely on Mr. Wu alone. You might as well send a special procurement team over. What kind of weapons do you want? , you can choose whatever you want, I will try my best to provide them all.”

"Okay, that's great!" Wu Peifu couldn't help but rubbed his hands together, and then said: "Commander Zhang is indeed a generous person, but let's make it clear that you need Wu to agree to some terms of exchange, Simply discuss everything clearly, clearly mark the price, and be open and honest!"

Wu Peifu is so shrewd, and Zhang Tinglan is so generous, there must be additional conditions. If you don't talk about it, it's useless to covet these good things, and you still won't be able to get them in the end.

Zhang Tinglan also nodded, and he and Wu Peifu returned to the conference room. Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, do you think we should cooperate temporarily or in the long run?"

"What do you mean temporarily? What about the long run?"

"Temporary cooperation is to divide the sphere of influence inside and outside the customs. You give me the title of Mongolian patrol envoy, and give me Suiyuan. I will give you eighteen 150mm heavy artillery pieces, and then I will give you 24 120mm howitzers. In addition, I will give you ten planes to train your artillerymen and pilots."

The three things Zhang Tinglan said hit Wu Peifu's heart, and he was immediately moved. In his opinion, Suiyuan is still a barren land, and Outer Mongolia is more prone to conflicts with Russia. It is not a good place. If It's okay to change to these equipment.What's more, even if he didn't agree, with Fengjun's military strength, it was nothing more than spending a little more effort, and Wu Peifu had already agreed in his heart.

"Commander Zhang, what do you mean by long-term cooperation?"

"To put it simply, the Fengjun provides a full set of arms assistance to the Zhijun, including the navy, army and air force. As long as the Zhijun needs it, they can get it first from the Fengjun. In addition, the production scale of the Gongxian Arsenal can be increased, so that the Zhijun can achieve self-production."

Hearing this, Wu Peifu couldn't help swallowing again. He walked around and saw that the Fengjun not only had a large number of artillery pieces, but also had great power, and other individual equipment was far superior to the Zhijun. With a complete set of equipment, Wu Peifu is sure to be invincible all over the world.

What's more, Zhang Tinglan agreed to help improve the capabilities of the Gongxian Arsenal, which is simply a great thing.The Gongxian Arms Factory was created by Lao Yuan alone. It is located in the hinterland of Henan Province, and Yuan Shikai devoted a lot of effort.Unexpectedly, he died before it was completed, and then fell into the hands of Duan Qirui. Now that the old Duan has lost power, Wu Peifu has let his subordinates take the arsenal into their hands, and regards this arsenal as an important base for the development of the direct army.Being able to obtain Fengjun's technology and realize self-produced weapons is definitely a dream come true!

Zhang Tinglan saw Wu Peifu's heartbeat, and there was a smile on his face: "Mr. Wu, if you want to do this, you can't do it. You just need to promise me two conditions. The key data such as the first weapon parameters cannot be disclosed to the big powers, especially It is the Japanese; secondly, I hope that the Zhijun can maintain enough pressure on the Sun Wen family in the south, and it is best to use these new weapons on their heads!"

"Commander Zhang, Mr. Wu has always advocated peace talks between the North and the South, forming a coalition government, and stopping civil war. This is also one of the differences between us and Duan Qirui."

Zhang Tinglan smiled disapprovingly. There is nothing wrong with Lao Duan's advocacy of unification by force. Anyone who sits in his position will do so. The Zhijun just opposes for the sake of opposition. After Wu Peifu really takes power, he will also implement unification by force.

"Mr. Wu, Sun Wen's party has been tossing for so many years, and there is only one reason why he has been able to persevere. The Japanese are behind him. We are enemies with Japan, and Sun Wen is a chess piece planted by Japan. I am They must not be let go. Moreover, they are also a big threat to the Zhijun, is Master Wu really willing to see them occupy Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hunan and other places?"

Wu Peifu rolled his eyes, and then said: "Commander Zhang, I agree to this condition. As long as the situation is stabilized, the direct army must aim at the south!" RS, please.

Chapter 496

"Mr. Wu, everything is in accordance with the agreement. As long as the appointment letter of the Mengjiang patrol envoy is issued, the weapons will be shipped over immediately!"

"Thank you Commander Zhang, Wu will definitely do it, and he will never break his promise!"

After negotiating the terms of cooperation with Zhang Tinglan, Wu Peifu is also involved in many things. He has to go back to help Cao Kun drive Lao Duan away, and he has to carefully weigh how to carve up Beijing's power in the next step.So he left in a hurry and wanted to go back to Beijing to deal with business. But at this time, Wu Xiucai was very happy. The bigger his fist, the more weight he said. With the access to heavy artillery and planes, the combat effectiveness of his subordinates doubled. Worry about not getting the fattest meat!

"Humble words, it's fine to give some ammunition, heavy artillery and aircraft are also consumables, but how can you agree to help Wu Peifu expand the arsenal in Gong County? Isn't this raising tigers?" Sun Liechen looked unhappy, Feng Jun can leave To this day, it all depends on the strength of weapons and equipment. Zhang Tinglan can't figure out how to share this biggest hole card with Zhijun in one word.

"Brother, what Uncle Sun said is right, I think you are just hot-headed, or you can just talk to dad, and just put it off, don't send them technicians, and don't sell machines, just treat it as a empty promise. "Zhang Tingshu also offered suggestions.

Zhang Tinglan shook her head, and then said: "Since I agreed to Wu Peifu, there is absolutely no reason why it should not be counted, otherwise how can I win people's trust!"

"There are a lot of intrigues between countries. We and the Zhijun are potential opponents, and we may become enemies in the future. Supporting the development of the Zhijun is to be an enemy. Brother, you can't put your face away just because you look good. Compensation, I think that Wu Peifu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is definitely a tricky guy. Sooner or later, he will be our enemy."

"Second brother, your vision is really good." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Wu Peifu is definitely the new generation leader of Beiyang, and Cao Kun is just a memorial tablet. It is Wu Xiucai who actually holds the power."

"Zhuoyan, since you have already seen this step, why are you still so ignorant!" Sun Liechen couldn't help but blame him.

"Even if we don't give it, won't Wu Peifu get it through other channels?".

As soon as Zhang Tinglan's question came out, both Sun Liechen and Zhang Tingshu showed a trace of doubt on their faces. They only thought about keeping tigers from causing trouble, but they didn't think about the possibility of other forces intervening.

Zhang Tinglan sneered and said: "Never mind others. Just because of our relationship with the Japanese, the little devils will spare no effort to support the Zhijun, let them fight against the Fengjun, and involve our energy. Instead of letting the Japanese get a lot of military expenses , why don't we take this piece of fat into our own hands!"

Zhang Tingshu heard this.Also nodded: "Brother, what you said makes sense. But haven't the Japanese always coveted China. Will they give the key technology to the Zhijun? Will they help the Zhijun develop the Gongxian Arsenal? Don't they fear the Zhijun? Are you training to be the second Fengjun?"

"Second brother, you've finally got your head around it. I was sure that the Japanese would not provide technical things, so I raised the price. Seeing our conditions, Zhijun's appetite increased. The Japanese offered They can't see the normal conditions."

Zhang Tinglan pointed out the key point, and it was only then that Sun Liechen and Zhang Tingshu realized that they had to take a long-term view of the problem.In particular, the factor of great powers cannot be ignored.The Japanese originally supported Duan Qirui, but now that the old Duan has fallen, most of them will turn to support the Zhijun and fight against the Fengjun.

Eat someone's mouth is short, that person's hands are short.If Zhijun and the Japanese really cooperate, Fengjun will face the situation of internal and external enemies.But now Zhang Tinglan has put forward a gesture of cooperation in advance, what the Fengjun can give, the Japanese can't give at all.As long as Wu Peifu is not a fool, he will definitely agree, and the potential alliance between Japan and the Zhijun will be completely disintegrated.

"Gao, big brother is really amazing. Wu Peifu will definitely look down on the Japanese who come up with ordinary things now, and will think that the Japanese are insincere. But the Japanese are reluctant to let them take out the things that are at the bottom of the box. Suddenly they can't use the direct army to deal with us, and solve a big threat all at once."

Sun Liechen also nodded frequently. Others can see one step, but Zhang Tinglan can see three steps and five steps in doing things. He is ahead of everyone.

"Zhuoyan, no matter what, Wu Peifu is a fierce tiger, I'm afraid he will bite us back!"

"It is precisely because I am worried about him that I have to find a way to hold his life in our hands."

Zhang Tinglan knew very well that it was better to avoid some things than to prevent them. If Wu Xiucai did something unexpected, he would blindly take precautions.If you cooperate with Wu Peifu, you can find out his details, and it will be much easier to prevent him.

Moreover, although Zhang Tinglan said that the Gongxian Arsenal should be able to produce various weapons by itself, but this is just a picture.It is absolutely not enough to have an arsenal alone. There must also be accompanying power plants, steel plants, chemical plants, and a series of supporting factories. If there is one thing missing, it cannot be called an independent system. Without an independent system, how can it threaten What about Fengjun!

It is true that artillery can be produced, but the steel used for artillery must be purchased from Fengjun, and the technical personnel must be imported from Fengjun. If there is a problem with the equipment, it must be repaired by Fengjun.Feng Jun can produce as much as he wants Wu Peifu to produce, and he can cut it off at any time if he wants to.

For Zhijun, there is only one way to get rid of control, and that is to follow Fengjun and establish an independent military industry!

But to achieve this, it is bound to be difficult, and the big powers will stare at it, and will not give Wu Peifu any room to develop industry.It is because Feng Jun seized the opportunity of World War I and Zhang Tinglan's advance layout that he is here today. This success cannot be replicated at all.

Zhang Tinglan explained her calculations to dispel Sun Liechen's doubts, and then said: "In fact, arms are also a commodity, and they are the most lucrative commodities. Fengjun's help is not free. Zhijun needs to serve with both hands." To spend a lot of money, you need to open up the market in the customs. This is tantamount to using the wealth of the Zhijun to develop the military industry, take advantage of the market in the customs, and improve the industrial system. The arsenal is just a part of the huge industrial system. It is better to have nothing, but I want to rely on There is no such ability to turn the world around with just one factory!"

In fact, among the means used by the great powers to control China, arms sales and loans are the most important bargaining chips. As long as they are used well, they can affect the balance between various forces. Zhang Tinglan has already seen through this point.The arms trade is an unavoidable thing among warlords, so they simply let Fengjun's arms replace the products of the great powers, and take this profit into their own hands.

Moreover, Fengjun can also rely on military cooperation to influence the situation in the whole country.Zhang Tinglan has always wanted to go outside the Northeast and Outer Mongolia, and the Feng army will soon go north in a big way. Zhang Tinglan doesn't ask for any help from the pass to regain his homeland, but at least he can't hold back.

Wu Peifu still has national integrity in his heart, and will not cause trouble in front of such a big event, to avoid being stabbed in the back.Zhang Tinglan made these considerations clear, and both Sun Liechen and Zhang Tingshu were completely convinced.

"Zhuoyan, it seems that you have already weighed it clearly, but we are reckless. What are you going to do next?"

"Naturally, we want to win Chahar and Suiyuan. This is what we want from the Zhili, and they can't refuse!"
