Chapter 61 Jiangnan Layout
Zhang Jingjiang nodded with satisfaction, the 74 standard of the Beiyang Army, is the standard behind, in the talented Beiyang Army, as the pipe of the first battalion, such ability is also very strong, the most important thing is that he is still young, only in his 20s, he is a talent, when, in the meeting, such a talent appeared, it seems that in recent times, there have been fewer returns, and many things are unfamiliar.
Zhang Jingjiang didn't know why such an outstanding young man would fall to the point of fighting the autumn wind, and the change in his mentality made him say with a somewhat pleasant face: "Where did you study?" ”
"I didn't study abroad, I came out of the armed guard army since I was a child!"
Zhang Jingjiang was moved, he didn't study abroad, it was not easy to do this, no wonder the momentum was so calm, obviously, his mentality was tilted, and Feng Yuxiang's attitude became more and more different, and he took the initiative to say: "I don't know what you are looking for me." ”
Zhang Jingjiang's attitude made the three of them happy, and after glancing at each other, Feng Yuxiang said: "Mr. Jingjiang, we are here to ask for help." ”
"Tell me about it!" Zhang Jingjiang said quietly.
Feng Yuxiang and others told the situation 1510, especially mentioning the quality and price of the gun, Zhang Jingjiang pondered a little, as a businessman, especially a businessman who opened a company in a foreign country, he understood the price of various weapons very well, he knew very well that this price was really not high, not to mention in China, in foreign countries, if he did not meet a strong seller, he would not be able to get such a price.
Such a good thing will fall on his head, Zhang Jingjiang's first thought was a liar, but after thinking about it carefully, what kind of liar will send out hundreds of oceans of things for a little bit of money, Feng Yuxiang is the pipe band of a battalion, but in the Beiyang Army, one town has two associations, one association has two standards, and one standard also has three or five battalions.
"Mr. Shizue, what do you think?" Feng Yuxiang waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Zhang Jingjiang's answer, and asked a little anxiously.
Zhang Jingjiang was silent, he did not deny that this was a very worthwhile price, the revolution of the League had fallen into a trough, several successive revolutionary failures, a large number of elites were killed by the Qing army, and the party personnel were basically forced to leave China because of this, and went to Japan to seek support and continue the revolution.
Shi Congyun was about to continue urging, but was stopped by Feng Yuxiang, after careful consideration, Feng Yuxiang said: "Mr. Jingjiang, in the current Beiyang Army, there is an opportunity to select cadres to go to the Northeast, I am an adjutant, I can choose to go to the Northeast on business, have the responsibility and power, and organize and train a battalion of new troops, however, the weapons of the Beiyang Army can only solve half of the problem, and the military salary can only rely on self-financing!" ”
"Northeast?" Zhang Jingjiang's eyes lit up, if it was just for the revolution, the purchase of a large number of weapons, in the current China, the revolution is in a state of trough, it is not suitable, but Feng Yuxiang is not without a reason, he himself is a middle-level officer in Beiyang, and there is an opportunity for the Beiyang Army to enter the northeast, as long as this battalion of arms is replenished, the rest is still difficult, the first battalion is just a name, as long as there is money, it is not as much as you want to expand, in the army, no one cares about your salary, let alone you to expand, who will be so thankless.
It's just this personnel, Zhang Jingjiang muttered in his heart, in the Northeast, the Northeast is the base camp of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is a bitter cold place, although sending the personnel of the League will suffer a little sin, but it is better than going abroad, the most important thing is that they can receive part of the military training, as a senior person in the League, he knows very well that the revolution is only a blood stone, so these days, the League will focus more on the army, no longer focusing on progressive youth, but developing many talents in the army.
"Okay, this battalion, I'm supporting, but I'm going to take a look." Zhang Jingjiang said decisively.
"Thank you, Mr. Jingjiang!"
Zhang Jingjiang stopped Feng Yuxiang and the others, who were overjoyed, and said lightly: "But the ugly words are in front, go there and act according to my orders, otherwise it will ......"
"Of course, of course!" Feng Yuxiang nodded hurriedly and said.
The driver at the door, seeing Feng Yuxiang coming out, hurriedly came up to open the door, Zhang Jingjiang glanced at the car, a slight surprise flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Since you have a car, then lead the way ahead!" ”
Zhang Jingjiang's car is a Mercedes-Benz, I heard that it was not bought, it was directly sent by Mercedes-Benz Company, whether it is the production or configuration, it is much stronger than the Ford Model T that Feng Yuxiang is riding.
The cars of this era can't run fast at all, and Shanghai doesn't have this condition at this time, so more than ten minutes later, the car stopped at the door of the German and American foreign stores.
Looking at the signboard above, Zhang Jingjiang was slightly surprised, this German and American foreign firm, I have never heard of its name, is it a new foreign firm, under the guidance of Feng Yuxiang, walked into the foreign firm, walked into the hall, the window and the lively crowd at a glance, he nodded secretly, not to mention that at the moment, the scale of this foreign firm cannot be said to be small, and even in a sense, the scale of this foreign firm is very large, and the items are also very complete.
"Mr. Shizue, this is the weapon we intend to equip!" Feng Yuxiang pointed ahead, and the committee of the rifle district 1888 said.
Zhang Jingjiang waved his hand, did not speak, and walked straight to Makqin, who has always been placed in the middle of the hall, and it is also the most prominent position in the entire foreign store.
Zhang Jingjiang is no exception, the first thing that attracted his eye was Makqin, but then, it was the pointed bullet, the pointed bullet for machine guns, among the foreign countries, there are very few that can be produced, but without exception, they will be embargoed in China, the major foreign banks in Shanghai, except for a few samples, others are rare at all, and the small part obtained by the Beiyang Army still paid a lot of price, directly from abroad, and the strength of this foreign bank is really not simple.
Seeing the pointed bullets, Zhang Jingjiang no longer doubts the strength of this foreign firm, most of the businesses here are German-made weapons, perhaps, it is a company directly established by Germany to sell arms.
Zhang Jingjiang left China in 1902, has been in the field of diplomacy, Sun Baoqi is also a rare diplomat in China, with Sun Baoqi, Zhang Jingjiang learned a lot of world pattern, for example, now, the war in Europe is cloudy, the formation of the Central Powers and the Entente two major blocs, one side led by Germany, Austria-Hungary, the other side is led by Britain, France and Russia, they formed an alliance with each other, in the scope of the whole Europe, formed a confrontation.
Under such circumstances, a foreign company with a strong German background, or a foreign company that sells arms and other in-demand goods, was established in Shanghai, China, and there will be any conspiracy in this.
Instead, Zhang Jingjiang was a little dumbfounded, it was really an occupational disease, and he wanted to think about conspiracy theories, not to mention whether there was a conspiracy in this foreign bank, even if there was, China was not a chess player, and he didn't even have the ability to be a chess piece, which in a sense was China's sorrow.
At this time, it happened to be around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, which was the busiest time for the Chamber of Commerce, more than 20 guys, all busy and circulating, almost flying, from time to time there was a loud voice of agreement, as the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, next to Harpy, surrounded by a group of soldiers, was saying something to him.
Zhang Jingjiang was more familiar with the officials at all levels in the south, and he recognized it at a glance, the leader of the soldiers was wearing the standard uniform of the new army, and next to him, there were battalion officers and a few pro-soldier uniforms.
The news spread very early, weapons and equipment have not been in place, it is not that the Swiss side has no money, it controls a rich place like Liangjiang, and the Swiss side is not insatiable, the money has been prepared for a long time, but there is no foreign company to sell it to them, which makes the idea that the alliance wants to mix in the personnel is frustrated, the Liangjiang area, which is definitely the strongest area of the revolutionary force, such a good opportunity, but it is a pity that it is so vain.
A thought flashed in Zhang Jingjiang's heart, could it be that the new army in Nanjing has been expanded again, it seems that he needs to inquire when he goes back, and the previous preparations can also begin.
After the failure of several uprisings, the League began to pay attention to the survival of the army, violent revolution, just relying on the enthusiasm of progressive youth, can not support this task, there must be professionals, this is also the past two years, the League has repeatedly sent backbone to the development of the army, Jiangsu is a rich place, but unfortunately they started late, now it does not affect much, the establishment of the new army, is the best opportunity.
