After regaining Luda, Zhang Tinglan was in a pretty good mood. He was not in a hurry to return to Fengtian, but stayed in Lushun. In name, he was in charge and maintained stability, but in fact, he was hiding out for a few days of leisure.
When Zhang Tinglan was enjoying the sun on the beach, Wu Yulin suddenly came over.
"Commander, this is the purchase list that has just been drawn up. Please take a look at it first."
Zhang Tinglan obtained this table from Wu Yulin, which listed more than 60 major patented technologies, followed by a large number of sub-items. When Zhang Tinglan saw these professional terms, he was immediately dizzy.
"Director Wu, just get to the point. After a few days of relaxation, I feel dizzy looking at this thing."
Wu Yulin also smiled and said: "Commander, I didn't mean to cause trouble for you. This was drawn up by German shipbuilding experts and us. They are all technical problems that must be solved to build large warships. But we have already solved some of them.
, and by dismantling the Baden and studying the Mackensen, we have solved hundreds of technical problems. In fact, only about one-third of what needs to be purchased, we have listed them all and put forward the posture of purchasing them.
, just to spread doubts and confuse the West and Japan."
Zhang Tinglan nodded after hearing this. It is indeed not easy to pull off a big scam. It needs to be done well in all aspects, otherwise the great powers will not be easily fooled.
"Commander, among the technologies we really lack, the most important one is high-performance armor steel. We are planning to introduce German Krupp carburized armor. In addition, we also encountered some troubles when we were researching boilers and gas turbines. Although there are
It’s a finished product, but if you want to imitate it, you still need a lot of key technologies and processes.”
"Buy as much as you can." Zhang Tinglan said without hesitation: "Even if we don't plan to develop battleships for the time being, other warships can also use these technologies. It's just a development sequence. In the future, aircraft carriers will also need battleship escorts.
When we have sufficient financial resources, we will also build a few battleships."
Wu Yulin smiled and said: "Commander, I mean the same thing. The technology is all figured out. Even if it is not used temporarily, there is no guarantee that it will not be useful in the future."
"Director Wu, it's up to you to consider these things. In addition, contact the people from the War and Ignorance Bureau. When purchasing, we must mislead the West. We can make a big show of unnecessary technologies to attract attention.
We will get back the technology we really need quietly so that they can misjudge our shipbuilding speed."
Wu Yulin nodded quickly: "Commander is really wise, but there is a small requirement for the humble position. To purchase technology, you need to get money, but the budget report I handed in was returned by Governor Wang. You have to help me think about it.
Find a way!"
"Mr. Minyuan, won't you allocate money?"
"Not even a penny!" Wu Yulin said with a grimace: "Mr. Minyuan has already said that he fully supports the development of the military, but it won't work if he pays for it. Tell me what is the use of such verbal support?
.Governor Wang has always been in charge of finance, isn’t it too domineering?”
Zhang Tinglan waved his hand and said with a gloomy face: "Director Wu, Mr. Minyuan is very troublesome. He is the hardest working person in the three eastern provinces. He also has difficulties in doing so. As for the gap in procurement costs, I will help you figure it out.
If you find a way, you don’t have to deal with finances.”
Wu Yulin also said hurriedly: "Commander, I didn't mean to say anything bad about Governor Wang, I'm just a little anxious."
Zhang Tinglan waved his hand to tell Wu Yulin to stop talking. He waved his hand and called Shen Hua over.
"Go and call Chang Yinhuai over and ask him how the things he told you went."
Shen Hua hurriedly agreed, and soon Chang Yinhuai rushed over panting. As soon as he saw Zhang Tinglan, he said: "Commander, I have checked all the businessmen in Luda, and most of them are related to the Japanese." There are three companies that have business dealings with each other, but they are all in line with the Japanese and have been acting as lackeys and compradors for many years. I have ordered them all to be monitored. With just one order, they can all be arrested."
"Well, have you made an estimate of how much property these three families have?"
"The Zhao family has been purchasing grain and ore for Japan for more than ten years, and their wealth is at least 20 to 30 million. In addition, the Bai family and the Liu family are agents for Japanese products, and are also involved in the oil extraction industry. Their family assets are also over 10 million. "
"That's almost it!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I copied all three companies, and the funds obtained were provided to Factory Director Wu, and were earmarked exclusively for the purchase of urgently needed military technology and equipment."
Wu Yulin had silently calculated it beside him. According to what Chang Yinhuai said, the assets of the three companies should exceed 50 million. Even if there was a slight loss after the realization, it would still be more than 30 to 40 million. If it was just the introduction of technology, this would be a huge sum. With big money, you can do a lot of things.
It is not just a strategic deception. If used properly, it can indeed greatly improve the shipbuilding industry. You must also pay attention to the level of lying. If there is no basis at all, it is just a falsehood. No one will believe it. It is a clever scam. It should be seven percent true and three percent false, so that people can't tell the difference between true and false.
"Commander, don't worry. We will make good use of this money. Not only will the Japanese be fooled, but we will also get back something truly useful. As long as you give me three years, I might actually be able to build a battleship!" "
Wu Yulin went to arrange things happily, while Zhang Tinglan had a serious look on his face. After working with Wang Yongjiang for so many years, Zhang Tinglan knew Wang Yongjiang's character very well. He was not a person who didn't know the importance. Wang Yongjiang was very supportive of the development of military power.
Especially after Huludao was bombarded, it touched the nerves of Fengjun's top brass. It was urgent to develop the navy. However, at this time, Wang Yongjiang did not provide financial support, which gave Zhang Tinglan some thoughts.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan felt a little depressed. She no longer wanted to enjoy the sunshine on the beach. Instead, she turned around and returned to her residence, wanting to send a telegram to Wang Yongjiang to find out more about the situation.
Just as Zhang Tinglan was walking back, Shen Hua suddenly winked at him and looked a little impatient.
"Are you possessed by Monkey Sun?"
"Master, don't blame me for not warning you. If you get into some trouble when you go back this time, please don't take your anger out on me."
"What trouble can there be? Are they more powerful than the Japanese?"
"Miss Qiao is here."
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, his head suddenly got bigger. Two days ago, he had just picked up Zhou Xinyao and Daya. It was a rare time for the two of them to get together with him. Although they were both in Fengtian, there were only a handful of opportunities to meet. Her daughter can already speak, but even if she doesn't know how to call her daddy, Zhang Tinglan can't help but worry.
Whenever he had free time in the past two days, Zhang Tinglan tried his best to communicate his feelings and coaxed his precious daughter to talk, but her daughter just ignored him, which made Zhang Tinglan extremely depressed.
At this moment, the outer room suddenly ran over, wouldn't it be fatal? Zhang Tinglan's face suddenly became wonderful.
"Has Miss Qiao gone to see Madam?"
"I saw that I went to the madam's room, but didn't you ask me to find Director Chang, so I wasn't sure whether I saw him or not!"
"Fool, don't you know how to stop me? If I get into trouble, you won't have an easy time!"
Zhang Tinglan immediately hurried back to his residence. As the saying goes, a woman's heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea, and it is the most unpredictable. If the sky thunder stirs up the earth's fire, and the two people really conflict, the house will be restless!
With full of worries, Zhang Tinglan arrived at Zhou Xinyao's room in three steps and two steps. At this time, he heard Da Ya's laughter coming from inside. Zhang Tinglan also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no trouble.
He calmed down, opened the door curtain, and walked in with a smile. He saw Qiao Lanyun teasing Da Ya, Zhou Xinyao watching from the side with doting, and the room was full of laughter.
As soon as Zhang Tinglan walked in, Zhou Xinyao stood up immediately and said with a smile: "I'd like to say that it's hard for Sister Qiao to come here. Please have a good chat with her."
Zhou Xinyao took Daya and turned around to leave. Zhang Tinglan grabbed Zhou Xinyao with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.
"It's okay. We are all old friends. We sit together and have fun."
Zhou Xinyao's two fingers had already reached Zhang Tinglan's soft ribs, and while twisting them, she said with a smile: "I'd like to say that you are just making things up. Sister Qiao has something serious to do with you. You, the handsome man, are really a little confused!"
"
Qiao Lanyun also said hurriedly: "Xin Yao, please stay and listen. This matter also has something to do with your Zhou family."
Zhang Tinglan originally thought that Qiao Lanyun came over just for some personal reasons, but he didn't expect that something really happened. He calmed down, put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and grabbed Zhou Xinyao.
"Since it's a big deal, let's sit down and listen together."
Zhou Xinyao also nodded slightly and sat aside. Qiao Lanyun cleared her throat and said, "I'm sorry, I came here this time because I was entrusted by Governor Wang to tell you something."
When Zhang Tinglan heard that it was Wang Yongjiang's request, he immediately became energetic. It seemed that the matter was not a big deal.
"I would like to say that during this period of time, you were commanding the battle, and many problems occurred in the rear. However, Governor Wang was unwilling to interfere with the battle, and because he discovered the loopholes in advance, acted in time, and the degree of harm could be controlled, there was no
Let me inform you. Now that the battle is over and the overall situation has been decided, it’s time to tell you the situation."
As Qiao Lanyun spoke, she took out a list from her purse and handed it to Zhang Tinglan.
"This is the situation in several vaults of Fengtian Bank. More than 30 tons of gold have been stolen."
"What!" Zhang Tinglan suddenly stood up when he heard this: "Who dares to think about gold? I'm going to kill him!"
Zhang Tinglan was really furious in an instant. Feng Jun had tried his best to get this little bit of gold, but now someone dared to touch the gold, which made Zhang Tinglan furious.
"Sorry, calm down and listen to what Sister Qiao has to say." Zhou Xinyao pulled Zhang Tinglan. Zhang Tinglan finally calmed down, but he heard even more shocking news.
