Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 463 Open to traffic

() The civil war in Russia has lasted for two years. At the beginning, the war situation was extremely unfavorable to the majority party, and the White Army almost destroyed them.However, with the passage of time, the majority party gradually gained a firm foothold and launched continuous counter-offensives. In the direction of Europe, the White Army retreated steadily.

In the low area of ​​the Far East, due to the participation of Japan and the United States, the White Army side firmly controls the overall situation. Most of the party's followers hide underground, playing hide-and-seek games with the White Army and the Intervention Army.

As the leader of the largest majority party force in the Far East, Ivanov can be called a banner figure in the Far East. Whether it is Japan himself or Belarus, everyone wants to catch him, but Ivanov, relying on his superb anti-reconnaissance ability, Dodged danger time and time again.

But now Ivanov doesn't want to hide anymore, the war situation in Europe has turned around, the army of the majority party is launching an attack in the direction of Asia, and Kolchak has shown signs of fatigue.At this time, the military guerrillas in the Far East must cooperate with the main force of the Russian army to contain White Russia and foreign intervention forces.

Of course, if you want to do this, you need the support of arms and medicines. After Ivanov thought twice, he had to beg for help from Fengjun.This sounds like a very absurd thing. China is actually a party of the intervention army and the enemy of the majority party, so how can it provide help!

"Comrade Ivanov, I think your idea is completely whimsical. It is a compromise and surrender to imperialism. It is an unforgivable betrayal! You must conduct a self-reflection, abandon these delusions, mobilize the workers and peasants in the Far East, and let them arm themselves. Rise up and fight against the white bandits!"

The one who spoke was Alyev, a representative sent by Moscow, who usually likes to point fingers, with the appearance of an imperial envoy.Ivanov despised him very much.

"On behalf of comrades, any decision must be made based on reality, but out of thin air. In the Far East, the reactionary forces are unprecedentedly strong. Our soldiers lack food and clothing, and weapons and equipment are seriously lacking. There are no factories available here. Is it necessary to Let the soldiers resist the bullets with their chests and the bayonets with their fists?"

What Ivanov said is the truth, the Far East is inherently barren.suffered another turmoil.The population was lost, the economy collapsed, and there was a lack of everything. The Far East Liberation Army was extremely desperate, like a group of beggars.Without outside support.They couldn't sustain it at all, but Alyev didn't see it that way.

He said loudly: "The enemy's army is all mercenaries. They are all bandits and hooligans without faith. Brave fighters will not be afraid of them. As long as we fight bravely, victory will definitely belong to us!"

"Have you ever really understood the enemy? Do you know what a tenacious army the Japanese are? Do you understand the industrial strength of the Americans? Letting soldiers fight a powerful enemy with bare hands is a crime!"

Ivanov was already disgusted with the esteemed representative.He said to everyone: "Dear comrades, our cause has been jointly contained by all imperialist countries, and we are struggling. But everyone must also clearly see the many contradictions among imperialist countries, out of greed They are intriguing, especially between China and Japan. There are many contradictions. Japan himself assassinated the leader of the Fengjun, and the entire Far East has changed because of this assassination. We should take advantage of this opportunity to learn from the Fengjun. Get everything you need."

Many participants agreed with Ivanov's words and kept nodding their heads frequently. Ivanov glanced at Alyev contemptuously and said loudly: "An excellent revolutionary must learn to proceed from reality. , use all kinds of contradictions, be flexible enough, and not dogmatically believe in books! If you have time, it is best to go down to understand the actual situation, instead of hiding in the room and imagining unrealistic slogans!"

Ivanov was very harsh, and Alyev was already furious, but in the Far East, he didn't have the strength to challenge Ivanov at all, so he could only swallow his anger for the time being.After Ivanov explained the work at hand, he hurried to Hailan, where Zhang Tinglan was also waiting.

"Mr. Ivanov, we haven't seen each other for more than two years. You are more like a general than a scholar."

"Mr. Zhang, you are more powerful than before, which makes me look forward to the cooperation with Fengjun even more."

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "We are still enemies in name, so it might be inappropriate to talk about cooperation!"

"It is true that we are enemies, but we still have common enemies. At least for the time being, we are friends, friends who can cooperate."

"Well, Mr. Ivanov, since this is the case, let's have a frank and honest talk. What exactly do you need?"

Ivanov nodded, took out a list, and sent it to Zhang Tinglan, which contained a large list of things.These include 500 rifles, [-] million bullets, [-] tons of wheat, [-] mountain cannons, mortars, grenades, and so on.

Zhang Tinglan did a simple calculation, and the total sum of all kinds of things would cost at least 200 million. Of course, this is the price purchased by Fengjun himself. If the Russians want to buy it, especially if the majority party wants to buy it, then it is not the price.

"These things are neither too much nor too little. As long as you take out 2000 million, I will sell them to you."

Hearing the price offered by Zhang Tinglan, Ivanov almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. This is too outrageous, at least ten times the price. He is a complete poor man now, where can he get such money? !

"Mr. Zhang, this price is at least ten times higher, which is really unacceptable. We have a common enemy. The Japanese army trampled on Russian land, and they assassinated Mr. Zhang Zuolin. After we got the weapons, we will Ri fighting by himself is actually helping you share the pressure, which is good for Fengjun."

"Mr. Ivanov, I handed over the weapon to you. How to use it depends entirely on your mind. Who can guarantee that you will not bite Fengjun back. You must know that the Russian side is also dissatisfied with our garrison Hailan."

Ivanov is also an eloquent person. He said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, Japan has a garrison of [-] troops in the Far East and is our number one enemy. Naturally, we will focus our main efforts on dealing with Japan. And Mr. Zhang also asks you to pay attention, if Japan himself transfers these troops to the Far East, what pressure it will put on Fengjun!"

Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile: "Mr. Ivanov, you are right. I can lower the price and give you the best price. But there is a premise that you must follow my arrangement and carry out a military operation. "

Ivanov pondered for a while, and then said: "I must understand the content of military operations, I will not joke about the safety of the army!"

"Okay, I'll have the staff talk to you right away, within a month. The action must be finalized."

After the two sides discussed it, Zhang Tinglan hurried back to Fengtian. He had already lost a lot of money, and the next step was to step up planning to ensure that the crucial machinery and equipment could return to Fengtian safely.

But Zhang Tinglan had just returned to Fengtian.Many businessmen from the Fengtian Industrial Group jointly approached them, with Liu Shucheng, Qiao Ruixuan, Song Zhongyi, Fan Xudong and others taking the lead.All rushed over.

"Commander-in-Chief, Ri himself has cut off the South-Manchuria Railway for about a week, causing serious losses. How long do you think we have to hold on before we can get Ri himself to give in?" Liu Shucheng asked anxiously.

Fan Xudong on the side also said: "Commander-in-Chief, boycotting Japanese goods is also a duty-bound matter for us. It's just that our foundation is too weak after all. If we continue to fight like this, we are worried that we will not bring down Japan's own business, but let Fengtian The industry collapsed first. This is not worth the loss!"

Zhang Tinglan was able to make these businessmen surround him and form a strong alliance. Apart from strong strength, the most important thing was to bring huge benefits to everyone.It is also very unrealistic to let these people give up their interests based on their prestige alone, and it will also damage their own prestige.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone's worries are justified, but before that, I want to tell you a piece of good news. The Jifeng Railway will be opened to traffic within a month. This railway avoids Nanman Road. The new transportation artery of the three northeastern provinces, the railway is completely designed and constructed by us, and the freight is at least [-]% cheaper than Ri himself."

Upon hearing this news, the eyes of these merchants present were immediately brightened. Merchants are the most sensitive to profit. In the past, Japan relied on its unique monopoly position to push up shipping costs, making merchants in the three eastern provinces miserable. If you can't get rid of it, you can only accept your fate and be slaughtered.

But at this time, when Zhang Tinglan said that the Jifeng Railway was about to open to traffic, they would not be squeezed by the Japanese, and they all cheered for joy.

"Commander-in-Chief, I already knew that you had far-sighted plans. I never thought that there would be such a hand waiting here. If I had known, we would not have to worry. There will be Jifeng Railway in the future, and the Nanman Railway will go away. We will never be on it. Transport a wagon!" Song Zhongyi said with a smile.

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "Everyone, we have fought against the Japanese these days, and we have paid a lot of money. Zhengfu will not let patriotic businessmen suffer losses. I want to compensate everyone."

"The commander-in-chief is serious. It is our duty to do our best for the country. How can we ask for rewards!" Liu Shucheng hastily refused.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Old Liu, don't refuse. It is right to be patriotic. If you do it right, you will be rewarded. If you do it because of patriotism, you will lose economic benefits. This is equivalent to being punished for doing good deeds. It makes sense." The above doesn’t make sense! But I won’t give you bonuses directly. Now that the Jifeng Railway is completed, I plan to set up the Northeast Railway Operations Corporation, and all businessmen who participate in the boycott of Japan are eligible to buy shares.”

The railway is definitely a lucrative industry. Otherwise, the big powers would not rush to build it. These businessmen know it well, but they have limited strength and cannot participate in it at all.

But now that Zhang Tinglan left the opportunity to them, these people were immediately overjoyed, showing an attitude of eagerness to try.Originally, there were some people who had some opinions on Zhang Tinglan because of the loss of interests due to the problem of the South Manchuria Railway. Now that they heard about the opportunity to buy a stake in the railway company, that bit of resentment completely dissipated, and everyone felt like it was Chinese New Year.

Zhang Tinglan looked at the excited businessmen, and said with a smile: "I just want to tell everyone that the interests of zheng fu and yours are the same. As long as you stand by zheng fu, you can get rich rewards. As long as we If we work together and concentrate our forces, we will be able to drive the Japanese forces out of the three eastern provinces!"

"The Commander-in-Chief said very well, we all follow you, absolutely without any double-heartedness."

Zhang Tinglan has also just come to power, and his foundation is far from solid. He threw out the big cake of the railway, just to win people's hearts, especially to win over powerful businessmen. Judging from the performance of these people, this step has already taken the right step.

After receiving Zhang Tinglan's promise, all the businessmen were extremely excited, and continued to confront Japan with confidence and boldness. The "five nos policy" continued to insist, and Japan's business share in the three eastern provinces continued to shrink. These guys were also very surprised. Unexpectedly, Fengtian businessmen were so tenacious.

After three weeks in a row, the good news finally came that the Jifeng Railway was finally completed. After receiving the report, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly invited representatives from all walks of life in Fengtian, as well as all the great powers, to attend the opening ceremony.

After the news spread, the Northeast was shaken again. Finally, there was a railway built by itself, and finally no need to be controlled by others. Everyone swept away the haze in their hearts and raised their chests high! (to be continued...)
