Life encounters are so interesting. A few months ago, Felix was the nephew of the Tsar, the ruler of the Far East, with amazing power. But now that the Tsar has fallen, his worth has been eclipsed, and his expression is no longer as domineering as before.
, but seemed a little humble.
"Zhang, although I thought about this situation more than once, after it actually happened, the situation was worse than imagined. I almost lost everything. Those who once lay at my feet all left me. They were all the same.
Those bastards who follow the trend of others. If I had known they were so despicable, I should have thrown them into the wilderness and let hungry wolves tear them apart!"
When Felice said this, he scratched his hair in pain. Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Duke, everything can turn around. As your friend, I am very willing to see the day when you can take charge of the Far East again."
"Are you really willing to help me?"
"Of course, there is an old Chinese saying that clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old. That means that as an old friend, I should reach out and give you a hand."
"Zhang, I really saw you right. As long as I take charge of the Far East again, I will definitely provide you with the greatest convenience!"
"Don't rush to make promises. We need to come up with a plan now, otherwise all other words will be empty words and useless."
Felice also calmed down, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Zhang, now the problem of the Middle East Road has become a big trouble for the interim government. As long as I can let them end it with dignity, my position in the Far East can be consolidated."
, and you can save a lot of trouble. After all, it is not a good thing to compete with a powerful country. This is a win-win cooperation."
Historically, the Soviet government fought a war with Zhang Xueliang because of the Middle East Road. It was really because this road was so important to Russia. Now that Zhang Tinglan has captured the Middle East Road, it is tantamount to touching the hearts and minds of the Russians. Not only who is in power, but also
It will be peeled off easily.
However, after Fengjun's defeat of the Russian army, Russia's top leaders also woke up. Their opponents were not vulnerable. According to estimates, in order to regain the Middle East Road, Russia would have to dispatch at least 50,000 troops and make heavy sacrifices.
preparation, this estimate put the provisional government in a difficult position.
Wanting to send large-scale troops to the Far East is a matter that consumes a lot of national power. Russia had already suffered a loss during the Russo-Japanese War, and now Russia's national power is in serious decline. The Provisional Government is facing the old tsarist
The power and pressure of the majority party can be said to be internal and external troubles. At this time, it will be extremely difficult to send a large number of troops to the Far East.
Moreover, the Russian government is not stupid. The idea of co-management by the Allied Powers proposed by Britain, Japan and other countries is frankly ill-intentioned. It might be better to let the mantis stalk the cicada and the oriole behind.
They don’t dare to fight, they can’t fight. But they don’t dare not to fight, and they have to fight. This is the biggest worry of the Russians. Felice introduced the contradictory mentality of the Russians to Zhang Tinglan. Then he said: "The interim government still has
There is a little worry that the Fengjun army will take the opportunity to attack the Far East and take back the land occupied by Russia. Therefore, how to deal with the problem of the Far East has become a worry for the provisional government."
"Don't worry about this. I'm not arrogant to that extent. Fengjun will not occupy Russian land, but we must not lose any of the interests that belong to China."
"Zhang, I have a way to get the best of both worlds, so that both of us can accept it. The management power of the Middle East Railway can be handed over to Fengtian, but Russia has also invested huge sums of money in this railway. Can we share part of the future income of the railway with Russia?
It is nominally co-managed by the two countries, but the actual control is still in the hands of Fengjun, and the Russian government has also stepped down."
"You have benefited from successfully helping Russia resolve its problems, right?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "This method can be considered. If possible, I would also like to sign an agreement with Russia to jointly deal with the majority party. After all, they are a cancer.
, I don’t want the three eastern provinces to be infected.”
In the past two years, Zhang Tinglan has dealt with a lot of things, and he has a clear sense of proportion. He cannot be tough and be gentle when he should be soft. Accepting the joint management plan with Russia is equivalent to cutting off the claws of the British and Japanese dogs.
Blocking the possibility of their interference can relieve the pressure on Fengjun.
But in the final analysis, this is a temporary plan. For Zhang Tinglan, he wants to fight for the next period of peace, digest the benefits gained from the Middle East Road, and wait for better opportunities when Fengjun's strength grows.
After some weighing, Zhang Tinglan nodded and agreed to the plan. Felice was ecstatic. In fact, he still had a certain amount of power in his hands. Especially after Constantine's failure, Felice's power in the Far East was already quite prominent.
, what is missing is the opportunity to be re-accepted. If the problem on the Middle East Road is successfully resolved, he will have the capital to return as the king, so one can imagine his mood.
"Old friend, I helped you, what are you going to give in exchange?"
"Is my sister okay?"
When Zhang Tinglan heard that he mentioned women again, her face darkened. The two little lolita she sent last time were taken away by Zhou Xinyao without even looking at them, which made Zhang Tinglan scratch her heart and liver.
, I don’t even mention how uncomfortable I am, but if I dare to mention it again, isn’t this bringing up sad things?
"Just kidding." Felice said hurriedly: "As long as I regain power, cooperation will definitely be deeper. I can help you get factories and technicians in the Far East. I can even help you purchase machine technology from the Allied Powers. I
There is only one condition, which is that Fengtian needs to provide me with more supplies and arms!"
After this change, Felix's pursuit of strength became even more intense. Originally, he was still thinking about the country, but now that the Czar has fallen, the value of Russia in his heart has also been reduced. The only thing he thinks about now is to be with Zhang Tinglan.
Form an alliance, with the three eastern provinces as the backing, to consolidate their power.
Russia is in too much chaos, industrial production has stagnated, and workers are unreliable. It is better to give all machines and technology to Zhang Tinglan and use the three northeastern provinces as a source of weapons and supplies.
Felice showed a completely cooperative attitude, and Zhang Tinglan was also very happy. As long as this guy can help Fengtian wholeheartedly, Fengjun's industrial strength can be improved faster, and doing things under the banner of Russia will be even better.
Gaining recognition from the great powers is definitely a win-win situation.
Zhang Tinglan and Felice formed an awkward alliance. Zhang Tinglan had always planned to evacuate Russia, and now he finally saw the light. Felice also found an ideal ally. He hurriedly left Suifenhe and returned to Russia.
We have to go to the event. We still need to convince the Russian Provisional Government to accept this condition as soon as possible. Unless the trouble on the Eastern Road is solved, other matters will be just talk on paper.
After seeing off Felix, Zhang Xueliang and his group arrived at Suifenhe with a train full of people and goods. Zhang Tinglan also went to greet him personally and counted the harvest. Zhang Tinglan was also overjoyed.
One million rubles in cash was deposited in Fengjun's account, and nearly 300 kilograms of gold were sent to the bank. A set of equipment for producing rails was temporarily shipped to Harbin until Anshan Iron and Steel was put into production. This set of equipment was sent to Anshan Iron and Steel for production.
The steel can be turned into rails immediately and then supplied for railway construction.
In addition, all the equipment for railway maintenance was handed over to the Middle East Road. The Middle East Road, which had experienced war, was also in urgent need of maintenance. Fortunately, both railways were built by Russians, and the tools could be used interchangeably. The ordnance maintenance equipment was also sent to Harbin. In Harbin
There used to be a batch of maintenance equipment, but now the two are combined into one, and an arsenal can be built.
In this way, Fengjun has three arsenals: Fengtian, Jilin and Harbin. As long as they are well coordinated, these three arsenals can equip at least 100,000 troops and sell weapons in large quantities. Even in later generations, the world's major arms giants will rely on
The huge profits from arms sales keep businesses running.
Now that the pattern of arms production has been formed, Fengjun has the opportunity to export large quantities to the outside world. With huge profits, the military industry system can grow stronger, and the more Fengjun sells, the more market share it will leave to Japan.
Otherwise, this is a zero-sum game.
Fengjun wanted to snatch meat from the Japanese, and also rely on arms trade to control other warlords. Zhang Tinglan had already sketched out a specific plan in his mind, waiting for the next step to be implemented.
After checking all these things, Zhang Xueliang and the others also brought back more than 500 Chinese workers and kidnapped more than 60 Russian technicians. After all, people are the most precious. Zhang Tinglan was very satisfied with this action.
Zhang Tinglan also comforted those Chinese workers: "When you arrive in Fengtian, you will go back home. If you want to go to your relatives, we will provide you with travel expenses. In addition, if you want to work, we also have factories. If you want to be farmers, there are them everywhere.
The farm is under construction, and we have fertile black soil under our feet. As long as we work hard, everyone will definitely be able to live a good life!"
Working hard is definitely the last thing these workers care about. After hearing Zhang Tinglan's promise, they were all happy. It seems that things will be different when they go home. Moreover, the officials in Fengtian are now different from before, more kind and considerate of the people.
They all rekindled hope in life.
After arranging the Chinese workers, the Russian technicians were sent to the Harbin Railway Rolling Stock Company and handed over to Kuang Jingyang, asking them to contribute their talents to the Eastern Railway.
Of course, Zhang Tinglan would not be satisfied even after he shot Shuangchengzi. China and Russia have a long border. Now that Russia is in decline, they should take advantage of his illness to kill him. Fengjun everywhere must look for opportunities and take the initiative to attack as much as possible.
Move things back.
With Fengjun's victory, not only the security of the Middle East Route was resolved, but also the situation on the Sino-Russian border was completely changed. In the past, the Chinese people were in fear, and Russian soldiers and bandits continued to cross the border and harass the Chinese people.
But now the initiative has undoubtedly fallen to the Fengjun side, and it is the Russians who need to tremble and fear.
Moreover, Zhang Tinglan took this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Russian expatriates in the three eastern provinces. All illegal expatriates were arrested and made to work as coolies. Those with official status were also controlled. Zhang Tinglan did not want to leave any
Hidden danger.
On the other hand, after Felice's activities, the Russians also sent personnel to contact Fengjun to discuss the issue of the Eastern Route. They did not want to drag it out like this.
Just when everything was going in the expected direction, a huge trouble suddenly occurred in Fengtian. The Japanese Consul General in Fengtian, Masasuke Akajiri, suddenly held a public press conference, summoning all reporters from various countries.
"Journalist friends, in the past period of time, everyone must have been paying close attention to the matter on the Middle East Railway. What happened around this railway and what roles China and Russia played in the conflict. In the past, we have only received information.
According to the army's statement, that is, the Russian majority party rebelled and Fengjun assisted the rebellion. In the end, the Russian Governor-General Mr. Horvat died and Fengjun took over the railway. But I want to tell everyone that this is a big lie. The Japanese Empire has found irrefutable evidence that Fengjun
Jun is lying!"
Akajiri Shosuke's words were like a bombshell, dropped in the middle of everyone. Everyone was indeed very concerned about the news on the Middle East Road. Originally, Fengjun's victory over the Russian army was a miracle, but now the Japanese jumped out and let
Things have taken a turn for the worse, making the news even more confusing.
Akajiri Masasuke said proudly: "Look, everyone, this is Mr. Vasily, the colonel of the Russian army. He will tell everyone the truth!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
