Zhang Zuoxiang glared at Zhang Tinglan: "Maintaining public security is not fighting. What's the use of new guns? I think it's better to equip more artillery regiments. Yuting, you also know that although our artillery regiment is called the artillery regiment,
There are no decent artillery pieces. They are all old guns from the Qing Dynasty. I think it is better to hand over those five Maxim machine guns to the artillery regiment!"
"Fuchen, you are a very honest and kind person, how come you let Tinglan lead you to such a bad point? Why do you only think about eating everything and not leaving any for others!" Lao Zhang scolded with a smile.
Then he thought for a moment, and then said: "Let's do this. I'll make the decision to allocate five hundred shots to the artillery regiment. As for the equipment of the security brigade, you two can discuss it yourself. I won't interfere. We won't allocate machine guns for the time being.
I plan to get a few more, and then also set up a directly affiliated machine gun battalion. I heard that the six towns in Old Beiyang all have machine gun battalions. Each battalion has twenty-four heavy machine guns. Our 27th Division cannot be worse than them.
Already."
"Uncle Seven, I don't think there's a need to worry. Now, arms trains can pass through Fengtian almost every month. In half a year, I think we can even get cannons, let alone machine guns."
"Really?" Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang both expressed ecstasy at the same time. Cannon is known as the god of war. As a powerful force, Zhang Zuolin is very aware of the importance of cannon. However, the 27th Division has limited financial resources, and the Beiyang government does not
Support, there is no decent artillery at all. If they can establish a powerful artillery, it will definitely be a great joy, so they seem a little rude.
"I think it's absolutely possible. The Russians suffered heavy losses on the front line and consumed more weapons. They have to import artillery from foreign countries. There are not many routes they can take. One is to ship to Russia via Western Europe. This route is the closest.
The transport capacity is also large, but it faces the threat of German submarines. The other way is to go to the Far East and then transport it to Western Europe via the Trans-Siberian Railway. Although it is farther away, it is safer. I think that as the war develops, at least there will be
As few weapons as we can get through our place, when we bribe all the Russian upper echelons in the Far East, we won’t be able to get anything we want!”
If the railway is compared to an artery, what Zhang Tinglan wants to do now is to be a vampire bat that bites into the blood of Russia, absorbing nutrients from the weakened Russia and quickly strengthening itself. After several trades, Zhang Tinglan is no longer satisfied with making money.
Even with a little equipment, Zhang Zuolin knew the importance of making weapons, and Zhang Tinglan didn't know it. He hoped to order a batch of production lines in the name of Russia, and at least solve the problem of consumables such as bullets and shells first. In this way, Fengjun
Only then can we have the capital to dominate the outside world.
Zhang Zuolin's interest was also very high: "Ting Lan, just go ahead and do these things. If you need anything, just tell the seventh uncle. We must not let go of this opportunity. Who knows when those foreigners will stop fighting when they are happy? Let's
There’s no chance for you to get a bargain any more.”
More than a dozen carriages carrying weapons and ammunition quickly returned to the 27th Division's station. Zhang Zuoxiang unceremoniously took away 500 rifles and 150,000 rounds of ammunition to strengthen his troops. Zhang Tinglan also took away
My dad has brought 200 brand-new Shui Lian Zhu, and they have all been equipped in his security brigade.
Although Zhang Zuoxiang knew that his son was resourceful, he did not dare to let him go as he pleased, so he arranged an assistant for him. This man was named Sun Anhu. He followed Zhang Zuoxiang and became a bandit when he was fifteen. At that time, Zhang Zuoxiang did not
When they were twenty, the two of them went through life and death. Later, Zhang Zuoxiang led his men to seek refuge with Zhang Zuolin, and Sun Anhu became a member of this group. Over the years, he has always been by Zhang Zuoxiang's side and is the most confidant.
If there was a choice between Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Zuolin, Sun Anhu would side with Zhang Zuoxiang without hesitation. In fact, Zhang Zuolin's sworn brothers had their own groups of people, forming small groups. This system is very important for an army.
This is not a good thing, but now Zhang Tinglan still relies on this small group to develop his own power. It is impossible to break it. On the contrary, he must continue to strengthen it.
Sun Anhu is in his thirties, has accurate marksmanship, and is not weak in martial arts. He is definitely a good player. With a powerful bodyguard by his side, Zhang Tinglan feels much more at ease.
After everything was prepared, Zhang Zuolin officially issued an announcement in the name of the Governor-General's Office, to the effect that the public security in Fengtian was in chaos, which not only brought trouble to the business people of Fengtian, but also affected Japan's friendly countries. How dare the despicable Koreans
Pretending to be a Japanese ronin and endangering one side is something that the Fengtian government must not sit idly by and ignore.
Therefore, the 27th Division is tasked with taking full responsibility for the rectification of public security in Fengtian, mainly targeting those who pretend to be Japanese rogues and commit crimes, those who gather to cause trouble, and those who extort money. All people must actively cooperate with the rectification operations. During the rectification process, it is inevitable that their identities will be checked at any time. If there are any
Sorry for the offence, please forgive me.
A peaceful announcement, but it contains hidden murderous intentions. It targets fake ronin and prevents them from harming Japan's reputation. It sounds better than it sounds, but how to tell whether it is true or false? It is very simple to check it at any time. This investigation does not care about the truth
Fake, that is to say, Japanese people who just go out on the streets will face being inspected at any time.
This is absolutely intolerable to the Japanese. Who knows how many of those Japanese ronin who usually run around are Japanese spies. By seemingly walking around normally, they figure out the situation in the neighborhood.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Japan's military maps were accurate to every street in the city and every well in the countryside. How much espionage was required to achieve this? From this we can also know that Japan's investigation of China was deliberate and large-scale.
It's so vast. There are not a few spies like this in Fengtian City right now.
As soon as this rectification announcement was issued, it was telling these Japanese prodigals, please stop, otherwise I will search you at any time. This is what Zhang Tinglan said, and this is what he did. On the second day after the announcement, 500 soldiers returned
A hundred capable policemen were dispatched together.
The person in charge of these policemen is Su Liangzhen. He has been a policeman for more than ten years and has rich experience and is familiar with the situation in Fengtian. He is very upright and clean. He usually wants to deal with those who do evil, but he does not have the power.
Now with Zhang Tinglan's support, Su Liangzhen is completely free.
In fact, when he got the notice, he thought it was just a casual operation, or even an attempt by the 27th Division to take advantage of the opportunity to make money. You must know that extortion of businessmen in the name of rectifying public security has not never happened.
However, Zhang Tinglan found him in person two days before the operation, and the two talked carefully for a long time. Su Liangzhen completely believed that Zhang Tinglan was sincerely concerned about public security in Fengtian.
Immediately, he stayed up all night, listed in detail the problems that needed to be rectified, and formulated an action plan. Now was a good time to clean up the garbage in Fengtian. The entire team was divided into two parts, and 200 people were led by the patrol police.
, were divided into twenty teams, mainly to search for the ronin. Regardless of whether they were true or false, they just didn't want to wander around Fengtian comfortably. They would face interrogation at any time. For a while, these Japanese were in a state of panic.
In addition, Zhang Tinglan led a large force to a Korean settlement on Taiping Street.
"Master Zhang, there are more than 400 Koreans living in the area in front." Su Liangzhen gave Zhang Tinglan directions, and then said: "They formed a gang. They usually sneak around and extort money. We have tried to deal with them several times.
, but these Koreans have found a few Japanese as backers, and there is nothing we can do against them."
Zhang Tinglan's mind was also spinning rapidly. Since these people could invite the Japanese, they might not be ordinary refugees, but peripheral organizations supported by Japan. But now that they have fallen into their own hands, they can't think about it.
"Officer Su, none of them can escape. This is a Chinese place. Where can they be allowed to run wild? Uncle An Hu, ask the brothers to surround this area for me and arrest everyone inside.
Don't let anyone go. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot on the spot."
Zhang Tinglan said with murderous intent, and Sun Anhu nodded hurriedly. The soldiers had already been divided into two teams and quickly surrounded the entire neighborhood. Many Koreans didn't know what was going on, but they saw countless soldiers rushing in with ferocious looks.
, they instantly became prisoners.
Seeing that the momentum was not good, some North Koreans hurriedly ran into the house, took out their weapons, and wanted to resist. Sun Anhu raised his hand and snatched three Tianling Caps in succession.
