Fengxian Jiangshan

Although Randall was a little embarrassed, he faced this task.There was no way to refuse. He could only take a delegation of more than 20 people across the ocean and came to China.They first arrived in Shanghai, which is the largest portal in China, full of feasting and feasting, and merchants from all over the world, extremely prosperous, full of luxury and luxury.

However, Randall didn't have much feeling for this demon city. A city without industrial support is just a piece of fat, no matter how beautiful it looks, it will be vulnerable.

What he saw in Shanghai made Randall feel even more disappointed about his trip to China. They took the train all the way north, and when they arrived in Beijing, the heartland of China was still extremely chaotic.Randall was completely disappointed, he only regarded this inspection as a trip.

The rumbling train carried them through Shanhaiguan and headed for their destination, Fengtian.After arriving outside the pass, Randall finally felt something unusual.Along the railway line, I could finally see some huge chimneys, billowing black smoke from them. It was obvious that the three eastern provinces already had considerable heavy industrial enterprises, which made Randall finally refreshed.

Along the way, there are flat fields everywhere, dense and neat villages, and factories can be seen in almost every town along the way, which shows that Fengjun's industrial base has already reached a considerable scale.And what surprised them the most was that the people in the three eastern provinces were not humble and cowardly at all. On the contrary, they were all high-spirited, and they could see something called hope in their eyes, which made Randall particularly impressed.

His views have finally changed. China is a huge country with too many differences among regions, and the three northeastern provinces can best represent the future of this country.

The German delegation arrived in Fengtian as scheduled, and Zhang Tinglan took Gu Weijun and Xia Han to welcome Randall in person.After seeing them, Randall was amazed again. These three people are all in their 30s and [-]s. Youth means vitality, which is what this ancient country needs most.

Randall also left a deep impression on Zhang Tinglan. This is a shrewd and capable guy, and the corners of his eyes will unconsciously lift up when he speaks. Obviously he should be a very arrogant and conceited guy.Without something attractive enough, I am afraid it will be difficult to impress him.

After they were seated, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "On behalf of the Fengtian government, I welcome you. I believe this will be the beginning of cooperation between China and Germany. The two countries have huge economic structures. Complementarity, which is the basis of our cooperation."

Randall also said: "I agree with this point of view very much, but I still want to know if you have any specific ideas for cooperation. Do you need Germany to provide technology for the production of guns, or some talents?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled and waved his hands: "This kind of cooperation is too rudimentary and not suitable for us at all, and I can say frankly that the production problem of guns has been solved long ago, not only can large-scale production be possible, but we are still exploring and developing Weapons that are more in line with the needs of the Chinese. We have already started production of aircraft and tanks."

Although Randall has already highly estimated Fengjun, he did not expect that the actual situation is even more astonishing. Aircraft and tanks are quite complicated things. If they can be produced, it means that Fengjun has a considerable industrial system. It was astonishing.

"Mr. Patrol Envoy, what would your ideal cooperation look like?"

"Of course it is all-round cooperation, not just limited to the military industry. It includes all aspects, first of all, commodity trade, we purchase machinery and equipment from Germany, and at the same time provide food and ore to Germany; secondly, economic exchanges, we can open markets to each other. Allowing Germany to invest directly in China and set up factories can enjoy preferential policies; the third is talent exchange. I plan to send a large number of international students to Germany to receive higher education in Germany.”

After hearing Zhang Tinglan's idea, Randall gave a thumbs up in his heart. This young commander was not limited to specific content, and his vision was extremely broad. Obviously, the other party's plans were also very far-reaching.

"It seems that this plan is more beneficial to China, and it is very limited in helping Germany."

"Mr. Randall. This is a win-win cooperation. In fact, it will benefit Germany even more." Gu Weijun said with a smile: "At present, the three eastern provinces can export more than 500 million tons of grain every year. It can be exported to Germany. It can solve the food shortage problem in Germany. And these grains do not need to be settled in gold, we can barter and directly replace them with machinery and equipment, which is a very cost-effective business for Germany.”

After hearing the words barter, Randall's eyes lit up immediately. This proposal really moved him. The biggest difficulty for Germany after the war was the large amount of reparations after the war, which caused serious currency depreciation, and Mark became waste paper. the trend of.The depreciation of the currency has also increased the cost of imports. Even if there is food, Germany cannot afford it.

However, if you barter directly, you can cross the currency barrier, which is definitely a boon for Germany.Historically, after Hitler came to power, the German economy was able to take off rapidly. To a large extent, Germany adopted labor vouchers, bypassing the currency barrier and directly bartering.

The Nanjing government also had a trade agreement with Germany, and they pledged all of China's mineral resources in exchange for the equipment of [-] German mechanists. From a trade point of view, China is simply at a loss.Of course, Zhang Tinglan would not make such a low-level mistake. What he exchanged was not equipment, but equipment and technology, and held the key to producing weapons in his own hands.

Randall was completely interested, and asked with a smile: "This is just the first item, so what is the name of the second item? At present, German companies are short of funds, and it may be very difficult to invest in China!"

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "Investment does not necessarily require direct investment. Germany can invest in technology or equipment. Our cooperation method is absolutely very flexible, and we will truly consider Germany's difficulties."

Zhang Tinglan glanced at Randall, then glanced at the other members of the German delegation, and found that these people were thoughtful, obviously they were all tempted.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "As for the third talent exchange, it contains many levels of content. We send overseas students to Germany, and Germany can also export skilled workers to us. There are strict restrictions on your country, and many military technologies cannot be used." Experimental research. These can actually be moved to China. We have a vast land and can provide a large number of secret research sites. As long as the exchange conditions are suitable, no one will control what you do. And the Fengjun is currently preparing to fight the Russians. You can send a corps of officers to evaluate the effects of new weapons, study the effects of new tactics, and even obtain the top-secret statistics of the Feng army."

Zhang Tinglan's last words completely moved Randall. After the German military affairs were restricted, the most worrying thing was to be derailed from the world. If the Fengjun could provide a verification site, the Germans would be free to learn the most advanced technology. Strategy and tactics, then Germany can keep up with the world military trend and find its future direction.

Originally, the Germans still had a condescending attitude, thinking that cooperation with the Fengjun was a kind of charity from the advanced to the backward, but from the current point of view, what the Fengjun can give to Germany is far beyond imagination. Heart pounding.

"Mr. Patrol Envoy, we have felt your sincerity for cooperation. I personally think there is no problem with the cooperation between China and Germany. In order to express our gratitude, we will first provide Fengjun with a batch of technologies, including the production line of large tractors. , diesel engine technology, and submarine blueprints."

During the two world wars, Germany's most frightening weapon was the famous U-shaped submarine. The British Empire was almost trapped to death by the Germans.Now that Fengjun can also obtain U-shaped submarine technology, the good days of the opposite island country are finally coming.

Zhang Tinglan stood up in high spirits, and said to Randall: "Let's have a toast for the success of our cooperation!"

5Chapter 16 Rebellion

After some conversation, both sides clearly saw the great prospect of cooperation, especially Randall, who was equally uplifted. As a real soldier, the last thing he wanted to see was the sinking of the German army.Fighting wars and crafts have the same effect. If you don't do it for a long time, your ability will degenerate.

If Fengjun is willing to provide them with an experimental site and first-hand battlefield information, this is simply a dream. Randall was so emotional that he drank the wine in his glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Inspect Fengtian's arsenal as soon as possible to understand your actual level, and then draw up a technical exchange plan, which will be more targeted."

Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "There is no problem at all. Speaking of which, there are some German equipment in the Fengjun factory. As for the origin, please don't get too deep into it, Mr. Randall!"

Randall laughed out loud when he heard this: "Some things China has got, which is far better than falling on the damned countries such as Britain and France. Our two countries are far away, and at the same time, because of the unfair world order, the interests of the two countries have been seriously damaged. , I think in the long run, it is even necessary for China and Germany to form an alliance.”

"I also have this idea." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "China and Germany are both traditional land powers, but in the end they both face the suppression of an island country. In the economic field, we have a broad space for cooperation. In the political field, we have common interests. We have no direct conflicts in terms of national interests, so we are indeed the most ideal friends. However, there are still too many difficulties in both countries. I believe that in another ten years, China and Germany will undergo great changes. At that time Maybe we can join hands!"

The two talked very speculatively, and the whole atmosphere was very harmonious. After World War I, Germany lost all its privileges in China.At the same time, it also removes the barriers to communication with China.In addition, the Germans already hated Britain and France, and were willing to arm China and use China's power to change the pattern of the entire colonial system.

In order to better cooperate with the Germans in the war, Zhang Tinglan ordered Tao Jiping to take the lead to set up a special working group to bargain with the Germans and exchange the technologies most needed by the Fengjun.

Fengjun Industry has already reached a considerable scale, but because most of these factories were moved here by taking advantage of troubled waters, the result was a lack of scientific research capabilities.Fengjun's weapons are mainly imitations, and there are not many things that really have their own characteristics.Moreover, the Russian machines originally followed the French way, but the machines we got now are based on the German way, and there is a lack of integration between the two.

Now that China and Germany have started cooperation, Germany has sent specialized technical personnel.Help Fengjun plan the industry and integrate it.The Germans have always been strict in their work.Learn with them.Chinese workers have also learned a considerable amount of valuable experience.Knowing what it is, knowing why it is, Chinese technicians finally have a more thorough understanding of the mysteries of industrial technology, and began to master how to master the whole process from design planning to production and use.It can also become what is needed for systematic research.

The progress of the Feng army is obvious to all, which makes Zhang Tinglan extremely excited. Now that the Sino-Russian war is imminent, there is no increase in strength.It can increase the chance of winning by one point, so he can't help but pay attention.

"Marshal, we have just reached the first cooperation agreement with the Germans, please have a look." Tao Jiping sent a document to Zhang Tinglan.

"The main content of this cooperation is that Fengjun will provide 50 tons of grain to Germany in an emergency, and then Germany will provide us with metallurgical equipment of corresponding value to improve our metallurgical level." Tao Jiping said with a smile: "The reason why we chose Metallurgical equipment is also the result of a long debate with the Germans. Our overall industrial level is low. Instead of pursuing advanced weapons, it is better to make up for the shortcomings. Although we can produce large-caliber artillery, the technology is still not up to standard. The quality needs to be improved. In addition, due to the limited equipment, the production capacity is also affected. After the purchase of these machines, Germany can send a group of technicians, so that the production capacity of heavy artillery can be raised to another level, and it is expected to reach [-] pieces per month. !"

When Zhang Tinglan heard the news, she was also ecstatic: "Fifty guns are enough to equip a division, and there is still a lot left, just to deal with the Russians' crowd tactics. The best thing is to attack them in a sea of ​​fire, and let them all be submerged in the artillery fire." Among them, the idea of ​​​​the military factory is very good, and the money must be invested in the most effective areas."

With that said, Zhang Tinglan walked up to the huge map, pointed to the Far East and said, "The main battlefield between us and the Russians is here, and it happens to be vast and boundless. In addition to powerful firepower, mobility is also essential. The production of tanks and armored vehicles cannot be relaxed, and it is better to produce another batch of vehicles, which can quickly transport materials at critical moments."

"Don't worry, Commander. We just talked about the tractor production line with the Germans. This time we got a large-scale production line from Germany. As long as there are a few changes, I guess there is no problem in producing about ten tons of tanks, but the quantity It can also be increased by more than one and a half times, and at least [-] vehicles can be produced every month, and armored vehicles can also get this number."

Thirty vehicles a month, still too far away from the torrent of steel, it is still very difficult to get a powerful armored force in advance and directly crush the Russians.However, Zhang Tinglan is very satisfied with this production capacity, after all, he can't swallow the fat man in one gulp.If [-] vehicles are produced in a month, [-] vehicles can be produced in more than three months. As long as they are used together, they will definitely be a powerful assault force, which may be able to turn the tide of the battle.

"Minister Tao, you need to plan well. Our ordnance enterprises, and even other factories, must learn to do the same thing, that is, build while fighting. We will make up for what is most needed on the front line, so that we can grow bigger and better." strong, so as not to be dragged down by the war and affect the speed of industrial construction.”

The idea of ​​building while fighting is exactly the successful experience of later generations of China. While fighting the Korean War, it engaged in industrial construction at the same time. A new country has not been dragged down by the war, but has achieved great achievements in economic construction. The ability is enough to make Ran admire it.

Now Fengjun also wants to learn this skill, Tao Jiping said with a smile: "Marshal, do you mean that the battle between us and the Russians will start completely?"

"That's right!" Zhang Tinglan said affirmatively: "The cold winter has passed, and the Russians have recharged their batteries for a whole winter. We are also fighting hard, and it is time to fight. Let's see who is the master of the Far East!"

Feng Jun was actively planning, and the Russians were not idle either. After more than two years of civil war, the majority party had basically wiped out the White Army and stabilized the regime. The Far East has become Russia's most concerned area.

With the greed of the Russians, they will never give up the fertile land of the Far East. During this winter, they wantonly mobilized troops to the Far East, and appointed Blücher, who has made great achievements, as the commander of the Far East.Active preparations.

Blyuchel was a rising general during the civil war. He seemed to be a born military strategist. Many White Army generals suffered defeat at his hands, and Moscow also placed high hopes on him.But in the face of Feng Jun, Bliuchel did not dare to relax.China is a very strange place, and it has obviously fallen to the extreme.There is no hope at all.But in the blink of an eye.A powerful force rose up and defeated the Russian team consecutively.

Up to now, not only the Russian army is no longer the only one, but even the Japanese are shying away from it, voluntarily giving up the Far East, no matter how to deal with this brand new opponent.Really need to think carefully.

Bluecher stared at the map closely. The Far East is vast and has a large number of inaccessible wilderness. This vast area is very suitable for tactical play.It tests the overall quality of a commander.Blyuchel's eyes continued to extend along the winding Siberian Railway, looking for a key breakthrough point.Seeing the end, Blyuchel's gaze finally stopped. At this time, he was staring at the northwest of Outer Mongolia.

……

After the Feng army regained Outer Mongolia, it also sent a regiment to Tangnu Wulianghai, which is located in the northwest of Outer Mongolia, with Sayan Mountain in the north and Tangnu Mountain in the south. It is a basin surrounded by mountains with an area of ​​17. square kilometers.In 1913, the population was 52300. The Tangnu Ulianghai area was originally a Mongolian nomadic land, which was part of the Chinese territory.

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Russians have taken a fancy to this land, and have continuously immigrated here, while instigating foreign independence. Just after the foreign independence, this place has become a de facto enclave, and the Russians are ready to swallow it. Get off this piece of fat.

However, due to World War I and the ensuing civil war, Russia's deployment was completely disrupted, and there was no chance to annex it. The Feng army took Outer Mongolia, and carried out drastic reforms in Outer Mongolia, completely controlling Outer Mongolia.After having spare energy, naturally Tangnu Wulianghai would not let the chaos continue.

After sorting out the order in Outer Mongolia, Wang Shuhan sent Yan Shichao to lead his troops into Tangnu Wulianghai, and completely took this land into his hands.As early as the Qing Dynasty, Yan Shichao had graduated from the law department of St. Petersburg Imperial University in Russia. After passing the examination of the Faculty of Law, he was awarded the law and politics, and was appointed as the head. He successively served as the county magistrate of Changyang County and Fang County in Hubei. people deal with.
