Khabarovsk is located in Dong'an, the intersection of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers. It was originally a sacred territory of China. However, through the Treaty of Beijing in 1860, Tsarist Russia forcibly occupied more than 400,000 square kilometers of land in Dong'an of the Ussuri River, and Khabarovsk fell into it.
In the hands of Russia, it was changed to Khabarovsk.
Due to its important geographical location, it quickly became an important node on the Trans-Siberian Railway. It also served as a river port, and its economy and trade were also very developed, making it the capital of the Russian Far East.
Standing on the side of China, looking at Khabarovsk shrouded in fog, Zhang Tinglan felt a stab of pain in her heart. It was a shame for the country and the nation for a pearl of China to fall into the hands of the Russians.
!
"Mr. Zhang, you are not thinking about moving Boli back now, are you?" Xiong Mengyuan said with a smile: "That would be great. What a beautiful place, how can we leave it to the Russians to ruin it?"
"Of course we can't move the land back, but we can snatch it over." Zhang Tinglan showed a firm look in his eyes, and his fists were already clenched.
"That's right, with the current decadence and absurdity of Russia, they certainly won't last long. As long as we develop, there will still be a chance. As the saying goes, thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, sooner or later the trend will turn to our side!"
Chen Qiming also said angrily that he and Xiong Mengyuan were originally in charge of the arsenal in Jilin, but there was a huge gap in machinery and equipment, and the production work was not going smoothly. They had long been looking forward to the opening of the ice channel. Only in this way could the Russian Far East's arms and machinery and equipment
, and everything Fengjun needs can be continuously shipped over and quickly enriched into the factory.
But when they got here, they no longer thought about the machines. Instead, they walked to the riverside, with the ice a few meters behind their feet. If they walked through here, they could reach Khabarovsk. The two places were so close, but they were so far away.
This kind of pain is difficult to describe, just like a hundred claws scratching my heart.
"Don't think so much now, keep an eye on the deal in front of you, don't let the Russians cheat us with some junk. As for other things, we will talk about it later!"
Zhang Tinglan has discovered that a sled team has appeared on the opposite side. The Russians have come to trade, and he must be prepared. This is the first time on the ice transportation line. Both Zhang Tinglan and the Russian side are very cautious.
The governor of the Far East even personally intervened. The large smuggling network within Russia was also fully operational to ensure that the most needed things from the Northeast and the most valuable things from the Far East were brought over.
Moreover, the opening of the ice transportation line means that Zhang Tinglan can directly deal with the powerful people in Russia, leaving Horvat aside and avoiding the Middle East Road. In addition, he can also avoid Fred, the Jew, although they
They already have a tacit understanding of cooperation, but Zhang Tinglan will not completely trust them. After all, if they are not from my race, their minds must be different!
It can be said that this is a painstaking transaction. The preparations started as early as a month or two ago, and now it has finally officially opened. Zhang Tinglan can't help but feel a little nervous. The soldiers, technicians, and porters present all worked hard.
Ready.
The Russians finally came over, and the two sides started talking. The person in charge on the Russian side was a colonel named Krechikov. This guy was no smaller than Horvath, and he looked like a big bear, swaying around.
Arriving in front of Zhang Tinglan.
"Chinese, we have shipped everything here, let's start our transaction!"
"Don't be busy. Chinese people have always been hospitable. It's such a cold weather and it's late at night. Everyone has worked hard. Let's have a drink!"
As soon as he heard the word wine, Krechikov's eyes lit up. As a Russian, there is no one who doesn't like wine, especially during this period, Russia has become more and more difficult and supplies are seriously insufficient.
If you want to drink, you can only go to the black market and get some low-quality products that have been blended. Krechikov, a big bear, suffers from the alcohol bug every day, so when he hears there is wine to drink, he doesn’t hesitate to order it.
nodded.
Zhang Tinglan brought him to a medium-sized stove with a hot water pot on it. In addition to boiling hot water, there were also several wine bottles. Krechikov's eyes suddenly lit up.
Just looking at the bottle is enough to prove that this is a very good wine.
Before Zhang Tinglan could take action, he stretched out his big furry paws, picked up a bottle of vodka, and uncorked the bottle. A strong aroma of wine wafted out. Krechikov just smelled the wine.
The smell made him feel as if he was getting drunk. He opened his mouth and poured wine into it frantically. In the blink of an eye, half the bottle had entered his stomach.
This way of drinking made Zhang Tinglan and the others dumbfounded. This was strong vodka, not cola. How could you drink like this? Krechikov didn't care what others thought, and took two more sips, opening his mouth to slap him.
He let out a loud belch and had a confused look on his face.
"Good wine, really good wine, so enjoyable!"
Zhang Tinglan also laughed secretly at the side. As the saying goes, just do what you like, as long as you like it. Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Colonel, I also prepared some shochu for your soldiers to take a few sips to warm themselves up. Let's get started right away."
Just make the deal!”
"No problem!" With the wine to clear the way, Krechikov's temper was surprisingly good. Zhang Tinglan asked his men to send a bottle of soju to each sled. This group of Russians completely showed their true colors and even quarreled with each other.
Grabbed it.
After they enjoyed the wine, the transaction between the two parties also began. This time Krechikov shipped mainly rifles, all of which were Mosinagan rifles that were about 80% new. This kind of gun is already the main equipment of the Feng army.
, he brought a total of three thousand rods.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the transaction method was mainly barter. Zhang Tinglan and the others prepared a large amount of food, wine, cotton clothes, riding boots and other things, all of which were most urgently needed by Russia.
The Russians brought their rifles over, and Feng Jun handed them the food. Although Krechikov was dazed by alcohol, he was still very conscientious. He carefully checked the food and opened a can of meat himself.
, after he saw it, he was very satisfied and gave Zhang Tinglan a thumbs up.
"Chinese people, you are very honest. I am very satisfied with the quality of your goods. It is much better than those black market traders without a trace of conscience. I will report to the Governor that there should be more direct transactions between us so that those who
Go to hell, all businessmen!”
Zhang Tinglan also sneered in his heart. This big Russian man probably didn't know that most of the low-quality goods in the Russian black market flowed out of Zhang Tinglan's hands.
Of course, Zhang Tinglan was also happy to create such an impression for them, so she said with a smile: "You are soldiers, and we are also soldiers. What soldiers pay attention to is realness, nothing fake, and things must be genuine!"
Listening to Zhang Tinglan's words, Xiong Mengyuan and Chen Qiming on the side even laughed. This person felt thick-skinned enough to actually say the truth. The price of the Russian's 80% new rifle was reduced to 30 oceans.
As for the price of grain, it has been raised three times based on the market price in the three northeastern provinces. The price of wine has been raised five times. As for leather clothing and the like, the price is even higher.
If this can be regarded as genuine, then the black market merchants really don’t know how much profit they will make.
"To reward you for your sincerity, I want to show you something new."
Krechkov showed a proud smile. He asked several sleds to drive over, then removed a wooden box from the top and opened it.
"Chinese, are you interested in this kind of weapon?"
Zhang Tinglan took a quick look and saw something like a gun barrel placed inside, but it was much smaller than a cannon. Zhang Tinglan thought quickly in his head and knew what it was. It should be a mortar.
Krechikov took the mortar out of the box with ease, assembled it, and placed it in front of Zhang Tinglan. He smiled and said: "This is a 91mm grenade mortar.
It weighs only 48 kilograms and can fire 3.3 kilograms of projectiles. The maximum range is 500 meters. It is a very good weapon. It has been proven on the European battlefield. Many Germans died from this weapon.
On hand!"
Big Bear kept bragging about his stuff. Of course Zhang Tinglan would not be fooled by him. The mortar was indeed a very useful weapon, and it was cheap, easy to make, smart and light. Zhang Tinglan had already planned it, and Feng Jun also wanted to
Mass production, but Zhang Tinglan didn't know much about weapons and didn't know the specific dimensions. He couldn't let the arsenal produce the finished product right away. He had to let them explore slowly.
Now that the finished product is available, it seems to have become much easier. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan is also very satisfied with these mortars. Xiong Mengyuan is far more familiar with weapons than Zhang Tinglan. As soon as he saw this kind of thing, he immediately guessed the main purpose.
The use of it immediately brightened his eyes, and he already had plans to imitate and improve it.
In addition to mortars, Krechikov also brought four 2009-type 76mm mountain guns. The maximum range of this mountain gun is more than 8,500 meters, which is also very good among the Russian army.
of an artillery piece.
Zhang Tinglan has been worried about the Fengjun's artillery. The power of the Japanese Type 41 mountain gun is too unsatisfactory, and the Krupp cannon purchased before World War I also had problems to varying degrees after several battles. The current situation is that the cannon appears.
There was a serious gap, and the combat effectiveness of Fengjun's artillery was worrying.
Artillery is the god of war. Without powerful artillery, how can the Fengjun compete with the Japanese? Therefore, the active equipment Zhang Tinglan wants to get most from Russia is artillery. Now Krechikov has sent two kinds of artillery at once. Zhang Tinglan
How could you not be ecstatic?
"Mr. Colonel, I am very satisfied with the equipment you sent, but there is only such a small amount, which is far from enough!"
"This is just the beginning. As long as we cooperate happily, there will be an endless supply of weapons." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
