Six hundred and seventieth chapters set foot on Lushun
Steel is the backbone of industry. Even though Northeast China is rich in steel resources, no one would dislike the abundance of steel. Especially since Maoshan Iron Mine is an open-pit mine, mining is easy and cost-effective, which makes Zhang Tinglan extremely tempted.
Zhang Tinglan was also worried that the Japanese would insist on disagreeing. Unexpectedly, they actually agreed, which was indeed a bit unexpected. In fact, the reason was also very simple. The Japanese did not know about this iron mine. The Mushan Iron Mine was originally located in China, Russia and North Korea.
The junction of the three parties has always been relatively desolate.
Historically, the Japanese only began to develop the Mushan Iron Mine in the 1930s, and now they naturally let Fengjun take the lead. They will say goodbye to this treasure land forever.
Compared with Zhang Tinglan who was overjoyed because of the iron ore, Jiang Baili and the others paid more attention to the strategic positions of Chongjin and other places. They circled the sand table a few times, and then Jiang Baili said with a smile: "I have to say, after Chongjin and other places are obtained, the emergence of the Tumen River will
Haikou is completely under our control, and the three northeastern provinces can directly go out to the Sea of Japan. It is really gratifying to have another economic corridor in the three northeastern provinces."
Yang Yuting also smiled and said: "Not only that, with this place, we have added a large barrier to the southwest of Vladivostok. In the future, we can safely and boldly develop this maritime base."
Vladivostok is a very good sea base, but it has a fatal problem, that is, it lacks strategic depth and is only a few dozen kilometers away from the border. At present, Japan’s air power is negligible, but as long as it develops its air force and stations it on the Korean Peninsula,
It can threaten the security of Vladivostok.
Fengjun used planes to deal with the Japanese. What he feared most was that others would follow suit and threaten Fengjun's maritime power. Therefore, although Fengjun leased Vladivostok, it had not yet made large-scale investment, nor had it stationed the main naval force.
But now the situation is different. With the Chongjin line captured, Vladivostok has a barrier in the southwest. The front has advanced a full fifty kilometers south. As long as the Feng army sets up enough air defense forces here, it will be difficult for the Japanese to threaten it.
Once we reach Vladivostok, the opportunity will be ripe to vigorously develop this good port in the Far East.
"There is Lushunkou in the south and Vladivostok in the north. With these two major bases, the navy definitely has a lot to do!" Jiang Baili said with a smile.
The eyes of Shen Honglie, who was also listening, suddenly lit up, and he asked hurriedly and eagerly: "Commander, are you ready to vigorously develop the navy? We are all eager to see it!"
Zhang Tinglan smiled and spread his hands: "I want to develop a navy, but I have to have money to do it. This time, I beat the Japanese into paupers. We also suffered from internal injuries and vomited blood. Our financial situation is not as good as Japan's. I think
It is impossible to vigorously develop the navy. But I have a plan, which is to make a fuss about the Mackensen."
The Mackensen? Shen Honglie was suddenly confused. This time he went to war with the Japanese. The main reason was because of the Mackensen's problem. The Japanese tried to take it away, and the army protected it desperately. As a result, the King Kong was sunk, and the two countries were able to
There was a fight.
When the Japanese attacked Huludao, Fengjun was worried that the Mackensen would be affected and towed the warship to Qinhuangdao. Now it has been towed back to Huludao again.
"Commander, didn't you say that you want to develop an aircraft carrier? You will change the Mackensen into a large fast aircraft carrier. We have already begun to make preparations in all aspects. Is there any change now?"
"Of course not." Zhang Tinglan said: "It is impossible to change our route of developing aircraft carriers, and this is also the only correct naval development path in the future. However, we can create doubts and mislead foreign countries, especially Japan, about the development path of their navies.
Let them go further and further down the road of cannons and giant ships, making more and more mistakes."
After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Jiang Baili suddenly laughed and said: "I'm sorry, how can this mean strategic deception?"
"That's right, we just want to fool around a bit. We want to let the outside world know that we are going to develop a big gun ship, rebuild the Mackensen, fight against Japan, and protect maritime interests."
When Fengjun introduced the Mackensen, it was said that it would be dismantled into scrap steel. If it was rashly converted into a warship, it would easily cause trouble, especially because of the British factor. Even if the British did not have the ability to do it directly, they could still engage in some trade.
Sanctions and the like can also make Zhang Tinglan uncomfortable for a period of time.
Because evidence was caught that Britain favored Japan, the British Empire had to relax restrictions. Just when Fengjun and Japan reached a peace agreement, an agreement was also reached between Fengjun and Britain. Fengjun could be free.
The British disposed of the Mackensen, and the British also promised to help the Feng army train 200 naval and shipbuilding talents.
As a veteran maritime overlord, Zhang Tinglan thought it was very worthwhile to learn something from the British, so he let the British go. However, Zhang Tinglan would not return the treasure of sonar. In fact, Fengjun had already begun to study imitation.
Submarines and anti-submarine warfare will both play extremely important roles in future naval battles, and Fengjun must pay equal attention to both.
"Commander, a big ship with tens of thousands of tons is not a gadget. It would be very difficult to completely deceive others, right?"
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "It's not that we want to lie for a lifetime, but in the early stage of our reconstruction, we want to make foreign countries believe that we are going to develop big guns and ships to lure Japan to follow up. Once Japan follows up, the United States and Britain will not miss it. How many ships can we have?"
As long as the keel of a 10,000-ton warship is laid, it cannot be easily changed. Even if they find out that they have been fooled later, it will be too late."
Yang Yuting said with a smile: "I would like to say that we should find an expert for this kind of matter and ask Zhong Zhao to come over to discuss it and see what ideas he has."
Soon Zhong Zhao was invited over. Director Zhong was polite and wore gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a scholar. After listening to Zhang Tinglan's idea, Zhong Zhao suddenly showed a confident smile.
"Commander, this is not a difficult task. What the Mackensen lacks is nothing more than large-caliber naval guns. As long as we let the outside world know that we are trying to solve this problem, they will naturally think of a big gun ship."
"He is indeed a master." Shen Honglie said with a smile: "Director Zhong, do you have any clever tricks?"
Zhong Zhao smiled and said: "We can take two-pronged preparations. On the one hand, we can increase our efforts to independently develop large-caliber artillery. On the other hand, we can purchase technology from various countries. The United States, Britain, France and other countries will not sell it to us. We might as well contact Italy. Pretend to start from
They have introduced large-caliber artillery technology, and even if it cannot be used on warships and can be used as coastal defense artillery, they will not suffer a loss."
When Zhang Tinglan heard Zhong Zhao's suggestion, he nodded frequently. Italy was indeed a very good choice. Despite Italy's poor performance in World War II, as an old industrialized country, Italy's military technology is still quite strong.
Moreover, after World War I, Italy fell into economic difficulties and social unrest. Mussolini had formed the Italian Fascist Party and was at the critical moment of seizing power. If Fengjun could provide some funding and obtain technology from Italy,
It's very easy.
If you want to deceive the other party, you must do things in a reasonable and reasonable manner. Once it is released that it is seeking artillery technology from Italy, it will inevitably make other countries believe that Fengjun wants to complete the Mackensen, and this scam will be successful.
"Director Zhong, you have to work hard. In the name of a team of experts, you should immediately make suggestions to the government to strengthen the navy, and then organize manpower. For foreign procurement, you must convince the powers that we want to develop big guns and ships."
After Zhang Tinglan finished explaining, everyone started to move, and a huge scam was launched. This scam lasted for more than two years, and the Japanese invested a lot of energy in this. Aiming at the Mackensen, they designed and built a more powerful
The United States and Britain had to follow suit with their battlecruisers, resulting in a huge waste of financial resources.
It wasn't until the Mackensen changed its face and appeared in front of the world as an aircraft carrier that the great powers suddenly realized that they had been deceived. However, at that time, they had signed a five-nation treaty that restricted naval armaments.
There was no way to change the plan, and this became the beginning of countless achievements for the Strategic Deception Bureau.
After arranging this scam, Zhang Tinglan smiled and said to several confidants: "I promised you all to go to Luda to bask in the sun. Now that the time is right, we should take action."
As he spoke, Zhang Tinglan also stretched, and all the joints in his body made crisp sounds. Since the war started, everyone has been working with high intensity. It is already very good to sleep for two or three hours a day. There are so many things.
Things were piled up together, and the young man Zhang Tinglan couldn't bear it, let alone other people. Everyone was very tired.
According to the agreement between China and Japan, on July 23, 2021, the Japanese officially handed back Luda. Since the Opium War, China has cut off a large amount of territory, but has not really taken back any of it. This is the first of its kind.
The army attaches great importance to it, and it also attracts the attention of the whole world.
In particular, to form the New Democratic Party, a large number of political elders, business leaders, and academic elites all came under Zhang Tinglan. The higher the status of Fengjun, the greater their influence. In order to build momentum for each other, they spared no effort to publicize the withdrawal.
The meaning of Luda.
At the same time, it was also an opportunity to promote the ideas of the New Democratic Party, and July 23rd was regarded as the anniversary of the official founding of the party. With the activities of Tang Shaoyi, Liang Qichao, Zhang Taiyan and others, the news quickly spread throughout the world, and almost everyone knew that Luda was about to
Back in the embrace of China.
The Chinese who had been bullied finally saw a hope at this moment, and they all set their sights on Luda University. On the day of the handover ceremony, Zhang Tinglan, dressed in military uniform, accompanied by Fengjun generals, personally led
With the two ace troops of the Tank Division and the First Division, they entered Lushunkou.
The handover ceremony was held near the 203 Highland in Lushun. Of course, there was a reason why it was chosen here. Back then, Nogi Nogi led the Japanese army and fought a bloody battle with the Russians on this highland, resulting in heavy casualties.
In order to commemorate this battle, the Japanese collected fragments of artillery shells after the war and built a bullet-shaped Erling Mountain Memorial Tower. The Japanese used this to boast of their illustrious military exploits.
But just sixteen years later, they were about to get out of here, and Lushunkou was about to return to its original owners. The Japanese were also extremely reluctant, but what could they do?
The gray-faced Yoshinori Shirakawa stood expressionlessly under the Erling Mountain Memorial Tower. As the last commander of the Kwantung Army, he would represent Japan and sign the document with Feng Jun to return the brigade to China.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Tinglan led the generals of the Feng Army and Chinese and foreign reporters to the bottom of Erling Mountain. As the commander of the Feng Army, Zhang Tinglan walked up to Shirakawa Yoshinori and others with a winner's smile.
From the moment Zhang Tinglan appeared, Shirakawa Yoshinori had been watching closely. He wanted to know who defeated the mighty Japanese Empire. But when he saw that Zhang Tinglan was so young, it was as if he had just walked out of college.
Like a scholar, Bai Chuan immediately felt unbelievable!
What surprised him even more was that most of the generals around Zhang Tinglan were around thirty years old, and some even looked younger than Zhang Tinglan. Is this still the old empire? Li Zhongtang, who remembered them, was just a bad old man.
On the contrary, the Japanese political arena at that time was full of high-spirited and high-spirited politicians.
But now the politicians of the Meiji era have withered, and only a few elders are left to support the situation, while in China, young people are in power. Could this reversal be a change in the national destiny of the two countries?
When Shirakawa Yoshinori was thinking wildly, Zhang Tinglan had already walked in front of him.
"Mr. Shirakawa, the Chinese often say that things return to their original owners. You have occupied Brigade University for many years, and now it's time to return it."
Shirakawa Yoshinori finally came to his senses. He reluctantly sat in front of the table and wanted to sign with a pen. But suddenly his hand started shaking and the pen tip kept shaking. He flipped the document back and forth with his left hand and couldn't find the signature.
place.
When Zhang Tinglan saw this guy's stern look, he sneered in his heart. With the potential gap between China and Japan, as long as China wins once, Japan will never have a chance to catch up. I'm afraid that the next time the Japanese sign, it will be
Letter of surrender!
"Mr. Shirakawa, don't waste any more time, I have to go to town for lunch!"
As he spoke, Zhang Tinglan pointed to the place where his signature was to be signed. Shirakawa Yize trembled his hands and reluctantly signed his name. Zhang Tinglan also signed his name with great ease.
At this moment, everyone could not help but cheer. The gateway to southern Liaoning, the key to the Bohai Sea, and Luda, which had been stolen by Russia and Japan for more than 20 years, had finally returned to the embrace of China.
The salutes prepared by the Fengjun army began to roar, fighter planes circled in the sky, and the crowd around them cheered thunderously, with colorful flags flying.
Compared with the Chinese who are proud and proud, the Japanese can only carry the memorial tower of Erling Mountain and return to the country in despair. What awaits them is endless humiliation.
Zhang Tinglan led the crowd down Erling Mountain and jumped directly into a special car. In front were twenty tanks clearing the way, and behind were cavalry. In the sky, there were planes accompanying them. At the same time, naval ships also came in from Lushunkou.

Lushun, this storm-torn city, has finally returned to the hands of the Chinese! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation
