Fengxian Jiangshan

One of the most important principles of capital investment is to ensure safety. This is the nature of capital. Many Chinese businessmen set up factories in foreign concessions and deposit funds in foreign banks for safety.

Now that the Feng army can defeat the Russians, it is obvious that the Northeast is also a safe place. At least investing in the country is more convenient than investing in foreigners.Therefore, during this period of time, a large number of businessmen came to the three eastern provinces for inspection.

Talent and capital are similar. They need at least a stage to display themselves. Many professional talents are not unpatriotic, but they have no room for display in the country.These people are not afraid of suffering, they want to be respected, and they want to see the value of their work.

In the past, China did not have this foundation, and they could not see any hope, so many people had no choice but to stay abroad. There are many science and engineering talents in China, and they all went to Japan to find jobs, and there are many in Europe and the United States.

In the past, Zhang Tinglan also searched everywhere, but not many were really willing to come back.But now the situation is completely different.China's straight downward national destiny has been contained. Joining the Fengxi Group, they can make efforts to build a strong country, and the value of life they have been pursuing can be realized. Therefore, there is a trend of returning to the country around the world.

"Mr. Minyuan, whether it is investment or talents in your country, we must treat them properly and provide them with preferential conditions. We must seize this trend and gather all Chinese elites to the three eastern provinces to jointly build a powerful country." .”

Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "Don't worry about Zhuoyan, I will arrange it myself."

Whether it is finance, investment or talent, they can only be regarded as accessories of Fengjun's war bonus.It's not really a big meal, but it has already made Zhang Tinglan very excited. The hard work and sacrifice are not in vain. If you want to truly become strong, you must rely on fighting.Kill a way.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan is more concerned about the negotiations with the Russians.After all, the Far East issue has not yet been settled, and it is not a good time to sit back and relax.

During this period of time, Gu Weijun and Molotov had repeated negotiations many times. At first, Molotov was aggressive and insisted that the squadron unconditionally release all prisoners of war, and that Fengjun would withdraw from the Far East and restore the original Chinese border.

A loser who is still so arrogant, of course Gu Weijun would not be polite, so all these requests were rejected.And Gu Weijun confronted each other.Put forward the request of Fengjun, asking Russia to recognize the invalidity of the previous unequal treaty, return the illegally stolen territory to China, and pay China [-] million US dollars in war reparations.

Of course, the Russians would not agree to Fengjun's request. The two sides came and went, and persisted for more than a month.During the negotiation period, Russia also sent some troops to the Far East. They tried to bypass Lake Baikal and harass Ulan-Ude and other places.

For the provocation of the Russians, the Fengjun resolutely fought back. Zhang Tingshu commanded the armored troops and waited for them, inflicting great damage on the Russian cavalry.

After entering August, at the beginning of the month, Molotov was very arrogant and insisted on his own point of view. Not only was he unwilling to take a step back, he even threatened Fengjun to withdraw from the negotiations.

The reason why Molotov was so excited was very simple. The Russians had won a series of victories in Poland, and the main force of the Russian army had formed a defensive posture against Warsaw. It seemed that victory was just around the corner.

However, on August 45, the Polish army commanded by Piłsudski successfully broke through the weak position of the Russian army, advanced 1 kilometers frantically, and successfully cut off the Russian army's logistics supply line.Even the Poles did not expect that victory would come so easily.The Russian side had about 500 killed, 1 missing, 6 wounded, and 6 captured, while the Polish army had about 4500 killed, 1 missing, and 2 wounded.

Russia's best commander, Tukhachevsky, tasted the bitter fruit in this battle. Warsaw suffered a disastrous defeat. In addition to the failure in the Far East, the Russians lost a total of nearly 20 troops, which has surpassed Russia's More than half of the entire army.

With such a heavy loss, the Russians are not only unable to mobilize more troops to the Far East, but even because of the severe emptiness in the European region, Russia is facing a life-and-death test.If the Polish army, with the support of Britain and France, took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the hinterland of Russia, Russia would be in danger of collapse.

At this time, Stalin put forward his proposal in a timely manner, to sign a contract with China as soon as possible in the Far East, and to redeem Budyonny and others, so that relying on them, they can quickly organize an army to protect Russia's security.

This proposal was accepted by the Russian high-level, and Molotov's arrogance could only be restrained, and he sat honestly at the front of the negotiating table. He had given up the unrealistic fantasy of letting Fengjun completely withdraw from the Far East.

China and Russia were negotiating. Britain, the United States and France saw that provoking a war would fail, so they also changed their tactics. The three countries turned to support the Far Eastern Empire.

The envoys of the three countries found Zhang Tinglan together and asked to keep the Far East Empire as a buffer zone between China and Russia. Neither side is allowed to annex this country.

The Russians are very clear that they can no longer drive China's power out of the Far East, so they don't want to see China's rapid expansion, so they also agree with this proposal, and they want to keep a buffer zone between China and Russia.

Now that the conditions have been mentioned, it is almost time for a showdown. Although Zhang Tinglan intends to directly annex the Far East, he also considers the opposition of the big powers, especially the lack of strength of Fengjun, so he can only settle for the next best thing.

However, Zhang Tinglan also made a request that the Far East Empire must accept the protection of Fengjun, and that China enjoys special powers in the land of the Far East.Including immigration, tourism, mine reclamation, investment and construction of factories, etc. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to turn the Far East into a colony of Fengjun.

In order to lower the tone of opposition from the great powers, Zhang Tinglan also proposed to open up investment in the Far East to the United States, Britain and other countries. The result was that the great powers were not satisfied. They thought that Feng Jun got too much.But this battle was won by the Feng army after all, and they deserved to enjoy the fruits of victory, so they had no way to object.

After more than two months of fierce confrontation, China and Russia finally reached a peace agreement at the end of August.The Far Eastern Republic was annexed by the Far Eastern Empire, whose territory stretched from Lake Baikal to the Pacific coast, with a total area of ​​150 million square kilometers.

The Far East Empire accepts the protection of the Squadron, and as a buffer zone between China and Russia, both countries must guarantee the sovereignty of the Far East Empire and not seek to annex this country.

After the conditions were met, the Fengjun returned Budyonny and other captives to Russia. However, in the process of returning them, Fengjun played another trick. They did not return them all at once. Instead, they repatriated them in batches. According to the contract, return these captives.

In any case, the battle in the Far East finally came to an end, and Feng Jun became a well-deserved winner.It's just that this winner has to face even greater challenges, and the burden on Zhang Tinglan's shoulders has not eased at all.

First of all, the Far East has gone through wars, and the population loss has been extremely serious. The current total population has just exceeded 60. It is simply wishful thinking to use such a small number of people to develop 150 million square kilometers of land.

Therefore, it is necessary to immigrate to the Far East in large numbers to fill the vacancies. According to Zhang Tinglan's plan, within three to five years, the Chinese must gain a population advantage in the Far East and prepare for the real and complete annexation in the future.Although the contract stipulates that the annexation of the Far Eastern Empire is not allowed, anyone who believes in the contract is a complete fool.

In addition to the Far East, the three eastern provinces have also ushered in a new period of development opportunities. Talents and funds have all poured in. Fengjun has also digested some key technologies acquired from Germany, and the output of industrial products has seen a blowout growth. , the technical level has also been improved.

Several persons in charge of the military officer enterprise also placed a brand new armament development program in front of Zhang Tinglan, waiting for his signature.

Chapter 598 Reorganization and Development

After China and Russia reached a contract, the Russians withdrew from the Far East with the bitterness of failure, and Irkutsk became their frontier stronghold. The Russians hoarded heavy troops here, repaired fortifications, and formed a confrontation with Fengjun.

The Feng army used Ulan-Ude as its forward position, used Lake Baikal as a barrier, and deployed a strong defensive force.Zhang Tinglan officially issued an order to establish the Far East Garrison Army. Wan Fulin was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Garrison Army, under the jurisdiction of the Third Division of the former Frontier Defense Army, the First Armored Brigade, the Third and Fifth Aviation Squadron, and the Fifth Mongolian Cavalry Brigade. More than 3000 people were recruited.

At the same time, Semyonov of White Russia was also appointed as the commander of the Western Military Region of the Far East Empire, leading more than 1 White Russian troops to assist the Feng army in jointly defending against Red Russia, basically equivalent to a servant army.

In addition to hoarding heavy troops on the western front, the Feng army also reached a Siberian railway lease agreement with the Far Eastern Empire, taking the management of the railway into its hands.Along the Siberian Railway, a special railway guard brigade was also set up, equipped with armored trains.The Feng army once seized two armored trains in the hands of the Russians. Obviously, this number is not enough to patrol the [-]-kilometer railway line.

Based on the armored trains seized from Russia, the Harbin Rail Vehicle Factory temporarily refitted ten armored trains to patrol the railways in the Far East.

It can be said that among the many trophies of Fengjun, the most exciting is the Siberian Railway. A large number of sections of this railway pass through the permafrost.Due to the moving land zone, in some seasons, it will melt under the sunlight during the day and freeze at night.When it freezes, the volume will expand, which will cause great damage to the railway, even in later generations.How to construct on frozen soil is also a huge problem.

At the beginning, the Russians devoted all their financial resources to the construction of the Siberian Railway, and at the same time hired a large number of French technicians, which lasted 25 years.It was not until 1916 that the entire line was opened to traffic. The difficulty can be imagined. With the current level of Fengjun, there is no ability to build such a railway.

Now that the eastern section of the Siberian Railway is under the control of the Fengjun, the railway mileage in the three eastern provinces has more than doubled at once, with this railway.The rich resources in the Far East have become the possession of Fengjun, providing strong support for Fengjun's industrial development.

Another point is more important. The terminal point of the Trans-Siberian Railway is Vladivostok, which is also a rare good port in the Far East.Originally, the best port in the three eastern provinces was Dalian, but Luda is still in the hands of Japan, after Fengjun took Vladivostok.Just one more lifeline at sea.

Through here, it is possible to trade directly with North America, the distance is greatly shortened, and Vladivostok is facing the Sea of ​​Japan, so its strategic location is extremely important.

If there is a war between China and Japan, the Feng army can send troops directly from Vladivostok, and attack North Korea in the south.Directly attack the Japanese mainland to the east.Originally, the three eastern provinces were surrounded by Japan and Russia, the northern route had no outlet to the sea, and the southern route was blocked by the Japanese layer by layer.

But now, this situation has been completely broken. Fengjun has turned passive into active. As long as he has enough strength, he can in turn threaten Japan from both the north and the south, and put the combined fleet into a state of exhaustion.

The curse surrounded by the two empires was completely destroyed, and everyone in the Fengjun rejoiced. Zhang Tinglan also began to systematically plan the development strategy of the Fengjun.Actually from the beginning.Many of Zhang Tinglan's development strategies are emergency.The two empires are pressing down on the border, and the only chance for the Fengjun to break their fate is the Russian Civil War. They must use the fastest and most effective method to make themselves stronger.

Therefore, when developing industry, especially military industry.Feng Jun fully adhered to the principle of borrowing, directly imitating Russian-made weapons, and also imitating some German-made weapons. The entire military industry seemed a bit messy.Although Russia has a relatively low industrial level, among all the great powers, the weapon system is the most suitable for China, but the physical condition of the Russians is still different from that of the Chinese, and the combination of Russian-made weapons is completely suitable for China.

Just after reaching an agreement with the Russians, Yang Yuting and Jiang Baili analyzed the battle and found out all the problems exposed by Fengjun in it, including both the tactical level and the weapon level. What stands out is the issue of adaptability.

While the two chiefs of staff were sorting out, Gendarmerie Commander Feng Yongshuang also found Zhang Tinglan. Recently, there have been several drinking and gambling problems in the army. Some officers indulged their subordinates, and military discipline requirements began to relax.

After Zhang Tinglan got the report, he immediately frowned. He was looking for problems to make up for the gap, but someone started to get carried away, which is simply disgusting.But Zhang Tinglan also knows that this may not be an isolated phenomenon, and it is very likely that there is a problem of expansion in the entire army.

This trend must be eliminated, so that the minds of the subordinates can be sober.In addition to updating military equipment, it is also necessary to give the soldiers a slap in the face.

Zhang Tinglan also felt the urgency of the matter, so he summoned all the military officials under his command. At the same time, Tao Jiping, Xiong Mengyuan, Bayuzao, Wu Yulin and other leaders in the military field also summoned them. There were hundreds of people in the dark crowd. Middle and senior generals participated, and the venue was very lively.

In fact, Fengjun's generals are similar to Zhang Tinglan. Many division commanders and factory principals are all in their 30s and [-]s. Due to the rapid development, many people have been promoted to high positions within a few years. A hint of youthful frivolity.Especially after the big victory, everyone seemed very excited. Before the meeting, everyone was whispering and talking.

While they were chatting excitedly, four people, Zhang Tinglan, Yang Yuting, Jiang Fangzhen, and Zhu Qinglan, who was in charge of logistics and military supplies, entered in a file. It was serious and abnormal, and they were also a little at a loss.

After Zhang Tinglan sat in the main seat, he scanned the whole city majestically, and the generals below became completely silent.

"There is no doubt that Feng Jun is a winner, but a temporary victory does not mean a permanent victory, and the Far East is only a corner of the entire Chinese chessboard, and it is still very far away from a real victory. I hope everyone will stay awake Don’t listen to any praises, let alone rest on your laurels. Everyone knows the story of suffering through hard work, and we can’t be the husbands of the state of Wu.”

After Fengjun's victory, some officers did appear to be inflated, thinking that Fengjun had become completely strong, and they didn't need to care about anyone at all.They thought that this meeting was to reward the generals who had meritorious service, but they didn't know that when Zhang Tinglan opened his mouth, he was actually warning everyone not to be poor. The meaning of beating was so obvious that many people silently lowered their heads.

Zhang Tinglan continued: "For the losers, it is very easy to learn from the painful experience and then conduct thorough reflection and change. On the contrary, the winners tend to sink into the past experience and stagnate. Recently the Germans dispatched A group of observation groups, they are observing and learning from Fengjun’s experience, you all know this. If in the past, would they have learned from a backward country? Obviously not, it was because of the failure that the Germans really After the precipitation has settled down, I can say for sure that sooner or later Germany will be a blockbuster, and the current victors, France and Britain, will pay the price for their dullness!"
