This time, a total of forty mountain cannons, fifty machine guns, three thousand rifles, and a large number of artillery shells and bullets were obtained from the Japanese. During the counterinsurgency in southern Liaoning, Fengjun also seized a large amount of Japanese equipment. Now
All in all, Japanese equipment is enough to equip a division.
The quality of Japanese weapons is far from as good as that of Europe and the United States, but it is more suitable for the physique of Easterners, so it is also very popular among the Fengjun. Lao Zhang is actually a little undecided on whether to choose Japanese equipment or Russian equipment.
The equipment is indeed a bit troublesome.
Now Fengjun's Russian-made equipment is obtained from the Middle East. Who knows how long the European War can last. If weapons are no longer transported on the railway, Fengjun will have no chance to get its hands on it, and the source of weapons will disappear.
So it is better to change into Japanese-style equipment, which is safer.
"I am opposed to replacing Japanese equipment." Zhang Tinglan said: "There are no harsh conditions for purchasing Japanese equipment this time, and the price is very reasonable. It is because we hold the handle of Japan. I dare say that if we purchase Japanese equipment next time,
The Japanese are already going to kill us severely, and they will never be polite at all."
In fact, being slaughtered is a trivial matter. The key is that after using Japanese-style weapons, Japanese consultants and instructors must be hired. Later maintenance and repairs must be relied on the Japanese, and ammunition must be purchased from them. It is equivalent to being controlled by others. From then on, Fengjun was
Falling under the control of the Japanese was absolutely intolerable to Zhang Tinglan, who had always sought independence.
"Uncle Seven, if we want to solve the problem of weapons, the key is to produce them ourselves. In this way, not only do we not have to be slaughtered, but we can also use these weapons to kill others, and then the huge profits will come back. Our arms production
It can become bigger and bigger, and the technology becomes more and more mature."
"It would be best if we could produce it ourselves, but the speed is a bit slow. If we don't have three to five years, I'm afraid it won't be effective."
"It won't take that long!" A proud smile appeared on Zhang Tinglan's face: "Russia can't hold on any longer. This winter, many Russians have starved to death, and several arsenals in the Far East have stopped working.
The machine is still there like scrap metal, we just need to find a way to move it back!"
When Lao Zhang heard this, a light flashed in his eyes and he couldn't help but rub his hands.
"My humble opinion is, are the Russians willing to sell their machines at this time? They are not afraid that the country will be destroyed!"
"Of course they were afraid, so they transferred their property. We have many accounts of Russian nobles in Fengtian Bank. They deposited a lot of cash and jewelry. They even have real estate title deeds. We have these things in our hands.
There is no need to worry about them being disobedient." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile, Tsarist Russia is like a dying giant, all the Russian dignitaries are crazily amassing money, very similar to the late Ming Dynasty, knowing that they are going to die. But every one of them
They are pushing the country to death.
Since the smuggling network was opened, the Russian dignitaries have been eliminated one by one. During this period, the Far East has also changed several officials, but it has no effect at all. As long as you want to survive in the Far East, you must consciously join this circle of interests.
Otherwise, there is only a dead end. The Russians will fight among themselves, which is more bloody and cruel than China. It is a piece of cake to confiscate homes and exterminate families.
This group of powerful people seemed to be addicted to drugs. They could not give up the huge profits from smuggling and were worried about being liquidated by the country. Therefore, they transferred their wealth without exception, and Fengtian Bank received a considerable amount of property.
After Zhang Tinglan mastered these fatal accounts, the threat to the powerful officials became more and more serious. He could ruin a person's reputation by just twisting his mouth. If these guys can help get the machine, they can
They will receive generous rewards. If they dare to obstruct it, they will be shot!
This is the so-called "Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. Zhang Tinglan, the largest smuggling leader, has completely corrupted the Russian Far East. There is really nothing that cannot be done. After returning to Fengtian this time, he and Frei
De communicated for a while and found that the strength in his hands was even greater, and he also had the capital to attack the factory machines.
Moreover, Fred also formulated a feasible plan, mixing the machines with the wood and transporting them to Fengtian together. The ordinary workers would be coerced and lured, and the senior workers would be directly kidnapped. With people and machines, there would be a factory.
"The disassembly operation has already begun. The first thing to be dismantled are the two rifle production lines. I estimate that they can be shipped via the Middle East Road within a month. Within three months, we will be able to produce our own water rifles!
"
When Lao Zhang heard this, he was stunned. He had never thought that the smuggling business could reach such an extent. It was simply beyond his imagination. After he barely regained consciousness, Lao Zhang felt bursts of ecstasy in his heart.
.
"My humble opinion is that rifles alone are not enough. We also need cannons and machine guns."
"Of course not. Next, the artillery factory and gunpowder factory will also be moved here. I am also planning to bring the steel plant and metallurgical plant here as well. The enterprises in the Russian Far East are not large in scale and their technology is not advanced, but for
For our just-started industry, it is the best choice. With these machines, Fengtian can train a large number of workers, and the strength of Fengjun will be just around the corner."
"Okay! Great!" Lao Zhang looked very excited: "If we can solve the weapons problem, we don't have to be controlled by others."
"Not only do we not have to be controlled by others, we can also turn around and use weapons to control other forces." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Since we can produce weapons, we should start looking for markets. The Beiyang Army in the pass may not like it.
We will sell these to the northwest, and Shanxi and Shaanxi will also be willing to buy them. In fact, we can also act as middlemen and second-rate dealers, purchasing some weapons from Japan, and then sell them to the guys in the northwest at a high price, which can at least double the profit.
.”
Zhang Tinglan is also very excited. There are so many benefits of being able to produce weapons. Lao Zhang also has a plan in his mind. After joining the army, he will still use Russian-made equipment. As for the Japanese arms, they can be used to train new recruits for the time being and then sold.
Exchange of money, even for second-hand goods, is very popular among the warlords in the northwest and even the southwest.
Just as Fengjun was making various preparations, news finally came from Lao Feng. After some painstaking thinking, Feng Delin resolutely refused Zhang Zuolin's order. The officers of the 28th Division could not be sent to the Lecture Hall, let alone
Special accounts will be opened for soldiers.
On the contrary, Lao Feng put forward three conditions, requiring the establishment of a Helping Office in Fengtian, with a status equal to that of the General's Office; all government affairs in Fengtian from now on must be affiliated with the Helping Office; and an additional one million yuan should be allocated to upgrade the equipment of the 28th Division.
Faced with Lao Feng's unreasonable demands, Zhang Zuolin certainly would not admit it. He immediately responded tit-for-tat, asking Feng Delin to give up his unreasonable demands and comply with the order.
The two sides are going back and forth, and the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger. The newspapers in Fengtian are also reporting endlessly. The people who have finally found peace are facing war again. They are very frightened and uneasy. However, there are some things that they cannot decide. They can only
Watching helplessly.
In fact, everyone under Lao Zhang had been gearing up for a long time. While the two sides were arguing, Fengtian withheld all the military pay and food from the 28th Division. At the same time, Lao Zhang ordered the removal of the two commanders of the 28th Division from their posts.
.
This hand knocked the mountain and shook the tiger, which completely angered Feng Delin. Old Feng summoned several of his confidants Ji Jinchun, Kan Chaoxi and Zhang Haipeng together. He looked very excited and roared loudly: "Little man Zhang bullied people too much. He wants to take advantage of him."
It is wishful thinking to follow my 28th Division. I have decided to send troops to heaven to attack Zhang Zuolin. What do you think?"
"Commander, Zhang Zuolin now holds the strength of two divisions. Wu Junsheng has also joined him. In addition, Zhang Zuoxiang has gathered all the soldiers from Dongbian Road into his hands. They have the strength of nearly four divisions. We can fight him head-on.
The chances of winning are not good!”
Ji Jinchun said with some worry that he had always had a good relationship with Zhang Zuolin, and he could see clearly that Feng Delin did not have as good a future as Zhang Zuolin, so he was very reluctant to start a direct war with Zhang Zuolin.
The strength of the two sides was obvious. Even Kan Chaoxi, who had been leading the battle, was a little silent. However, Zhang Haipeng still had some confidence. He said: "Although Zhang Zuolin has many soldiers, he also has many places to guard. Wu Junsheng was in Chifeng, Yuanshui
Unable to quench his thirst, Zhang Zuoxiang has just taken over the Dongbian Road. He still needs to stabilize the place, but he cannot mobilize many troops. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is still a contest between our 28th Division and the 27th Division. I think if we can win the battle quickly, we can win
Fengtian, we still have great hope of winning."
After Zhang Haipeng finished speaking, Feng Delin nodded happily: "It's true. Little Zhang is nothing special. Over the years, we have experienced many storms and waves, and we can still get through this pass. Haipeng, you will lead your subordinates as a pioneer officer."
, Jin Chun stayed to look after the house."
Lao Feng gave an order, and the 28th Division also mobilized. At this time, another person was also alerted, and that was Tang Yulin. Lao Tang rebelled against Zhang Zuolin, but in the end he only mobilized two thousand people, and they were still a gang
In the eyes of Lao Feng, Tang Yulin's worth quickly depreciated.
It's even a bit insignificant. Lao Tang has been very depressed during this period of time. Apart from drinking and beating people, he has nothing else to do every day.
He also heard that Feng Delin was going to send troops, so he found Lao Feng and asked for help to fight back to Fengtian. He wanted everyone to see that Tang Yulin was still a strong soldier and not a useless person.
Lao Feng couldn't dissuade him from his enthusiasm, so Tang Yulin and Zhang Haipeng led the vanguard, left Beizhen, and headed straight for Xinmin.
Zhang Zuolin had already sent a large number of manpower. From the moment Feng Delin mobilized troops, Lao Zhang already knew about it, and Fengjun also started to act accordingly.
The 27th Division was mobilized, and Zhang Tinglan was ordered to lead a regiment to participate in the war. They also left Fengtian in a mighty manner. Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin can be called a pair of destined enemies. They have been entangled with each other for many years.
There have been times when they have helped each other, and there have also been times when they have fought against each other, and now they have finally reached the stage of fighting each other, and a real master will appear in Fengtian!
