Although in Zhang Hanqing's view, there is still a long way to go in the future of the Feng department, but in the understanding of Zhang Zuolin and other Feng elders, their force has changed dramatically. If the six integrated divisions, nine mixed brigades, and no less than 10 divisions, including the Guards Division, are armed, they will be an existence that no central bigwig can ignore at this stage.

In terms of vital weapons, the Feng army has made a qualitative breakthrough. The current Northeast Arsenal was originally only a repair shop of the 27th Division, and later, with the increasing expansion of Zhang Zuolin's power, he purchased some machines in Japan and set up a small arsenal. After Zhang Hanqing crossed, he began to expand the scale and project in an organized manner, and was able to repair all the Fengjun equipment and produce a small number of new rifles.

Later, after a huge loan from the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank and the purchase of several batches of machines for the production of artillery shells, the Shenyang Arsenal has the capacity to produce 100,000 shells per month. It's just that because of the relationship between demand and energy, it has not yet produced 11 of its production capacity.

In the area of light weapons, a unified weapon system has been achieved, and plans are to set up an armament repair institute in the division structure to be responsible for the maintenance and repair of weapons, but because this requires the allocation of some equipment from the limited resources of the Shenyang Arsenal, Zhang Hanqing expressed cautious appreciation.

In view of the lack of artillery restricting the allocation of heavy firepower in each division, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Hanqing coincidentally set their sights on the purchase of additional machines. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and it is only cost-effective and safe to be able to produce by yourself. Supporting such a large group of troops, important military supplies cannot be controlled by oneself, and nothing can be said to be successful.

To expand the factory to the scale of producing cannons, it is estimated that about 500,000 yuan will be required to purchase machinery. Because of the large investment in education, the money is still relatively tight, but fortunately, Zhang Zuolin has been suppressing the impulse to expand the army, so as not to invest the limited money in the bottomless pit of infinite feeding the soldiers.

At this time, Colonel Max told a very important news: due to the defeat of Germany, due to the "Treaty of Versailles", it could not produce weapons, so it dismantled and sold the machines of Krupp and other arsenals, and entrusted the Netherlands to publish a newspaper in Shanghai to bid for it.

When Zhang Zuolin saw the great news, he immediately sent Yang Wenkai, the general office of the arsenal, and Han Linchun, the previous general office, to Shanghai together, and remitted 500,000 yuan from the Northeast Bank to award the bid for the purchase. Han Linchun is an expert in the manufacture of rifles, and he also has a certain degree of understanding of the manufacture of artillery, and he has been in the army for several years, so he knows the needs of the army best. Coupled with Yang Wenkai, who is also from an ordnance manufacturing background and a factory manager, the two should cooperate well.

Before leaving, Zhang Hanqing pulled Han Linchun, handed him a check for 20,000 yuan, and said, "Old Han, I need you to do a big thing when I go to Shanghai." ”

The young marshal was so solemn, Han Linchun hurriedly took it and listened attentively. With Zhang Hanqing's steady achievements in politics and military, Han Linchun respected this terrifying young marshal more and more.

"When you go to Shanghai, it's one thing to buy equipment, but it's more important to help me hire someone."

"Someone, please?" Han Linchun was confused for a while. Who is the person who deserves so much attention from the young marshal? It's 10,000 oceans! With his current status, he is a political dignitary in Beijing, and he can also deliver words at any time.

As if knowing his question, Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Yes, I am now wearing many hats, and I can't do party affairs, government affairs, and military affairs at the same time." You know, even though we only have two divisions of horses, I've always treated it as a seed, and I don't just have these tens of thousands of horses in my head! In the future, there will be more people, and people will be needed for logistical baggage, command and war, and political work training. The military part, I will hand it over to you and Lao Guo; Staff officer, there is Lin Wei; Training this piece, there is Lao Ji; In the area of political work, there are Jiang Dengxuan and Wang Yizhe; In terms of logistics, there is old rice to take care of. I'm relieved of all this, and you've always done a good job.

But the military has always served politics. Our People's Party has a very shallow foundation in the northeast and has been unable to make a breakthrough in administration for a long time. In the area of party affairs, Jiang Dengxuan is also the head of the organization department, and Wang Yizhe is also the secretary of the black province, although they have done fruitful work, but because of the military position, they are still the main business after all. They are all multi-tasking, and after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be things that are not taken care of. Zhu Guangmu was my adjutant general and also the head of the propaganda department, although he was also decent, but because he was decent, he rarely made breakthroughs in propaganda.

As the number of BJP members increased by leaps and bounds, I gradually felt that something had not been done well. This is because whether it is at the small meeting of the Central Committee members or when the party's policies are announced, what I put forward is mostly programmatic things and less fillers---- I really don't have the time, and you need to understand it yourself. The other members of the CPC Central Committee are all half-way monks, and their theoretical knowledge is pitifully barren. In addition, when I need to contact and negotiate externally, I am the one who takes care of the paper, but it is very hard.

That's when I realized my shortcomings.

So after thinking about it, I felt that I needed a main writer. He can serve as the mouthpiece of the Party when he is external, and he can enrich the Party's theory in peacetime... I've already thought of this person. ”

can make the young marshal so concerned and fancy the person, Han Linchun is in awe. It seems that this person is currently in Shanghai, otherwise the young marshal would not have entrusted himself at this time.

If nothing else, he should be in Shanghai for now, working as the editor-in-chief of a newspaper. You went over this time to solemnly invite him to go north on my behalf, and I will cover all the expenses for raising his family, and attach this ten thousand oceans as a meeting gift. ”

Han Linchun knew the weight of this person, and he clenched the check: "Young marshal, who is this person?" ”

Zhang Hanqing pondered for a moment, but what he said surprised Han Linchun: "I can't be sure either." His name is Chen Bui, or is it a pen name, right? Anyway, it should be an editor in a newspaper in Shanghai or something, you can check carefully, or ask Wang Jiuguang from Shanghai to help you check---- I had a relationship with him in Beijing a few years ago, and he will definitely help you. ”

Who Chen Bui is, Han Linchun really doesn't know. Don't blame him, this person is famous because of his suicide and his mourning, and this is more than ten years after Han Linchun's death in the official history. In this era, his name is not prominent, and if there is no Chiang Kai-shek, it is difficult to say that there is him.

Even Zhang Hanqing is not familiar with it, he has never read any of Chen Bui's anthologies, and the only thing he knows is Lao Jiang's famous speech on the War of Resistance Against Japan: "If the war starts, then there is no distinction between north and south, no one is old or young, and no matter who has the responsibility to defend the territory and resist the war", he wrote it.

However, being able to be trusted by the suspicious old Jiang Yi in a high position for decades, and there is no slander in the faction-ridden Kuomintang, how much does it show this person's ability, in the "Armageddon" movie, there are so many characters who also solemnly highlight his death, and can also allude to the fall of the Jiang dynasty, which shows the high status and great significance of this person.

Now Han Linchun seems to have got a hot potato. What is this, such a high-standard employer, even the name is not accurate, the occupation is not accurate, fortunately the scope is selected in Shanghai, otherwise the sea of people, where to find this person? The young marshal was too unpredictable, and he couldn't help but ask: "Who is this person?" ”

He was answered by an unpredictable smile from the young marshal: "A friend".
