Fengxian Jiangshan

At the beginning, Russia did everything in its power to build the Middle East Road, and this railway was indeed important. It turned the original Siberian Railway into a straight line, directly connected to Vladivostok in the east, and connected to Lushun Port through a branch line in the south. , forming a huge T-shaped railway artery, running through the three eastern provinces.

Although Russia has turned the Middle East Road into a tool to plunder China's resources and wealth, it should also be said that with such a railway artery, the starting point of development in Northeast China is much higher than other places.At present, China's railways are mainly concentrated in the low-lying areas of Guannei, and many border provinces do not have railways.

Feng Jun won the Middle East Road at this time, not only snatching back a huge amount of wealth, but also snatching back precious development opportunities along the way. Otherwise, building such a railway artery would require a staggering amount of financial resources, and would also be subject to The interference of the great powers, after the snatching, is completely ready-made.

Of course, in order to express her "gratitude" to the Russians, just after taking control of Harbin, Zhang Tinglan ordered the complete removal of assets along the railway line, and at the same time cleared up the Russian expatriates. As long as it is Chinese wealth, they will spit out everything .

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the results of the Harbin Campaign have been calculated!" Sun Anhu sent a report to Zhang Tinglan.

"Before the war, there were more than 700 Russian defenders, and nearly 3000 armed expatriates. After the hard work of Feng Jun soldiers, we killed more than [-] Russian soldiers and captured more than [-] prisoners. Only a very small number of remnant soldiers, as well as the original expatriate armed forces, were mixed in the Russian expatriate residential area, and the number of Russian soldiers who actually escaped from Harbin was very small, basically completing the strategic conception at the beginning of the war."

When formulating the plan, Zhang Tinglan asked to eliminate the Russian army as much as possible.In particular, it is necessary to prevent a large number of Russians from fleeing. As long as the Russians are finished, Feng Jun can firmly grasp the right to interpret the incident and reduce trouble.

"Commander-in-Chief, our victories were brilliant, but the price we paid was equally astonishing. During the two-day and one-night battle, we sacrificed more than 600 soldiers, over 2000 were lightly or severely wounded, and 3000 buildings were damaged. Many. Nearly [-] ordinary people lost their homes, and more than [-] people died in the flames of war!"

Any war is bloody. Although Feng Jun was fully prepared, Zhang Tinglan still felt distressed when faced with the number of casualties.This is the essence of Fengjun, and how many soldiers are carefully cultivated.So much has been lost all at once.Zhang Tinglan was also very uncomfortable.

"Immediately convey my order to speed up the treatment of the wounded and clean up the remains of the sacrificed soldiers. They all died in order to regain the Middle East Road. They must be buried near the Middle East Road and a monument will be built. Let all future generations know about them. Sacrifice, remember their achievements."

Sun Anhu also had this intention a long time ago, so he hurriedly nodded in agreement, and Zhang Tinglan continued: "The damaged buildings in the city must be repaired as soon as possible. All the expenses will be borne by us. In addition, we will give pensions to the dead and injured people, so that the soldiers can help the people build Houses can enhance the relationship between the army and the people. The army is like fish, and the people are like water. Without the understanding and support of the people, the foundation of the army will not be stable, and it will not be able to withstand the test.”

For this suggestion, Sun Anhu also very much agrees: "Commander-in-chief, to be honest, in the early years, the Fengjun didn't care about the common people, they just regarded the common people as objects of plunder, but after this battle, I really understood the role of the common people. An army cannot win a battle without the support of the common people. During the battle, a large number of common people help us transport ammunition and the wounded. Take the Harbin head office as an example. Without the support of the original workers, we simply cannot accept , In addition, there are still a large number of wounded who are settled in the homes of ordinary people. Without their strong support, we would not have thought of taking the Middle East Road so easily!"

"Well, the military and civilian family, this is worthy of praise. I am going to award honors to all the meritorious personnel who recovered the Middle East Road. Not only the soldiers who fought bravely should be rewarded, but the common people should also be rewarded. This honor belongs to all soldiers and civilians!"

"Commander-in-Chief, I have another suggestion. I counted it. During this battle, five or six Fengjun soldiers were injured because they helped the common people. One of them saved a dozen middle school students. He suffered severe burns and is still being treated in the hospital, his life or death is uncertain, I think such soldiers should also be encouraged!"

Zhang Tinglan's eyes lit up when she heard it. This kind of thing is the best case to promote the feelings of the army and the people. In fact, for this operation, it not only has the military significance of regaining sovereignty, but also has a greater spiritual connotation. Zhang Tinglan has to rely on This matter completely established the image of serving the country and the people, improving the relationship between the army and the people, and allowing the Fengjun to truly take root in the black soil. Become rootless duckweed.

"I'm going to arrange some journalists to report on the operation of regaining the Middle East Road in a panoramic manner, focusing on interviewing the soldiers and the people at the bottom, so as to make a publicity for our Fengjun. In addition, we will allocate 200 million yuan from the account to use Help people get back to their homes."

"Commander-in-Chief, this is too much!" Sun Anhu hurriedly said: "I think 80 million is enough. We are not rich in financial resources. This battle is completely sustained by borrowing money, so don't waste it."

"Haha, it was in the past when we were financially poor, but now after the war, we will suddenly become rich!" Zhang Xueliang said with a smile from the side: "Brigade Commander Sun, you don't know that the commander-in-chief now has no less than 5000 million yuan in his hands." cash bills, and a lot of gold, and the real estate is even more astonishing, 200 million is just a drop in the bucket!"

When Sun Anhu heard the figure of 5000 million, he opened his mouth wide open, even drooling. The money alone was equivalent to Fengtian's fiscal revenue for two years. It can be said to be a windfall. This piece of pie was too big, it made Sun Anhu dizzy from the smash, and so did the other people present, all showing expressions of disbelief.

Just after the battle, Zhang Tinglan arranged for manpower to search and seize them, but he would not know if he didn't check, and he was startled when he checked, even Zhang Tinglan, who held the most optimistic estimate, was shocked.

They finally calculated that the cash assets available on the books of the Middle East Road exceeded 500 million. Horvath’s personal assets were also an astronomical figure. He had been supporting Russian gold diggers all these years and panning for gold in Heiji and Heiji provinces. We must know that the Northeast is one of the most important gold producing areas in China.

After hoarding for more than ten years, Horvath obtained a total of about seven tons of gold, five tons of which were hidden under the Governor's Mansion, and two tons were placed in Daosheng Bank. This gold was collected before World War I. It is equivalent to 500 million US dollars, which is about 1000 million oceans.

In addition, the deposit stocks in his hands are all calculated, which is equivalent to about 200 million oceans, and the total property adds up to more than 200 million, and these do not include real estate. This old guy also has a lot of land and minerals. He still has an account in Fengtian Bank that has not been checked.

If everything is counted, this old guy's worth is at least 5000 million, and he is truly wealthy.It was only after seeing Zhang Tinglan that he understood Horvath's ability to raise money. Historically, this old guy had been occupying the Middle East Road until 1920. For more than three years, he relied on huge funds to make money. maintain, and he also established a provisional government on his own.

This is all a matter of burning money. If there is no huge accumulation, the old things will not survive at all.It's just that before he had time to make a fuss, all this huge sum of money fell into Zhang Tinglan's hands, making wedding clothes for others for nothing.

"Commander-in-Chief, how many soldiers can be supported by so much money, our Fengjun may expand two or three times at once!" Jiang Dengxuan also asked in horror.

"The army needs to expand, but we need to spend more money to guard against it, and we can't withdraw all the funds. We also need to maintain the operation of the Middle East Road. In addition, we need to expand factories, build education, buy machines, settle immigrants, everything All in all, it’s a huge sum of money, not to mention fifty or sixty million, even five or six hundred million may not be enough.”

Everyone present also nodded secretly. They admired Zhang Tinglan's ability to make money, but they admired Zhang Tinglan's ability to spend money even more. It's hard to calculate, but the people who gave Zhang Tinglan a loan didn't know to worry at all, instead they rushed to send money to him. This may be the charm of their character.

"This money is ours only when it is spent. It doesn't necessarily belong to anyone who keeps it in our hands. This is true for ordinary families and businesses. Take Horvath as an example. He has enough money, but now it's all gone. It has become ours, so when you get the money, you have to spend it. Of course, spending money is not a waste. It is true that it will not cost 200 million to repair the houses this time, but we have to see the overall situation. Harbin is in our hands. In the future, here will be the logistics center in the north, comparable to Fengtian's economic status. Roads need to be widened, water and electricity facilities must keep up, and the railway station needs to be refurbished to expand the scale of transportation. All these things are counted, and 200 million is just an initial investment. , It will cost more money in the future!"

Now Zhang Tinglan showed everyone how to spend money. This seemingly astronomical sum of money might be wiped out soon.

Zhang Tinglan also arranged specific tasks for everyone to implement as soon as possible to restore the order in Harbin. At the same time, he also started to rectify the Middle East Road, so that the Middle East Road can be reopened to traffic as soon as possible. This is an economic artery. If it stops for a day, it will bring huge losses.

After arranging all the manpower, Zhang Tinglan excitedly went to inspect the Russian factories in Harbin. Compared with the funds, Zhang Tinglan valued these factories more. These are precious seeds. The industrial development of Jilin and Heilongjiang, all Point to these factories! (To be continued..)
