"No, the sky falls and the bowl has a big scar, it's a big deal to fight with Qin Yu, and I have to pull a few people on my back if I die." Feng Linge immediately objected.

"Third brother, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Qin Yu is so powerful, there is no shame in losing to him." Zhang Zuolin said gloomily, "Qin Yu is also a bit decisive, he didn't want to affect the normal order of Fengtian City because of the war before, now he is committed to Qin Yu should not do things too much, if he really fights to the back, the damage to Fengtian City is too great, Qin Yu is annoyed and angry, I am afraid it is the real disaster." This incident started because of me, and I personally have nothing to do, but if it affects several brothers because of this, I will not be able to go away. ”

"It's all now, what are you talking about?" Feng Linge can mix on the green forest road for so long, and he is not a merciless person.

"Lord Feng, Lord Zhang, Japanese Consul Okubo asks to see you!"

Feng Linge, Zhang Zuolin, Wu Junsheng and others glanced at each other.

"Bring someone in!"

"Lord Zhang, Lord Feng, and Lord Wu have also rushed over from Tongliao, how are you doing these days?" Okubo had a kind smile on his face, Wu Junsheng was far away in Tongliao before, but Okubo could recognize it at a glance, obviously before that, Okubo had a certain understanding of several powerful figures in Fengtian.

Zhang Zuolin, Feng Linge's current situation in Fengtian City is a figure who knows the way, this Oriental devil is knowingly asked, several people scolded secretly in their hearts at the same time, and said quietly on their faces, "We are at war with Qin Yu right now, and we are thinking about it, where can we talk about anything but get by." ”

"I wonder how the war is going these days?" Okubo asked again.

Nima. Can you stop talking nonsense? "Mr. Consul is just here to care about the progress of the battle?"

"This war is related to the future belonging of Fengtian Province, and I am naturally concerned." Seeing Zhang Zuolin, the unhappiness on Feng Linge's face, Okubo's face was straight, and he stopped talking nonsense, "I know that several adults are in a bad situation now. I came to relieve the worries of a few adults. "Okubo Road.

"Right now, Qin Yu's soldiers are strong and strong, the ordnance is much better than ours, the soldiers are well-trained, and they have completely gained the upper hand, I don't know what kind of help Mr. Consul can provide us?" Feng Linge's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked.

"According to the observation of our military in the past few days, we found that the reason why Qin Yu was able to gain the upper hand so quickly and press your troops to fight was mainly because he was equipped with a large number of Makqin heavy machine guns. played a vital role in street fighting. Whether it is offensive or defensive, your department is too poor in terms of firepower, as long as Lord Zhang and Lord Feng can agree to some simple conditions on our side, we are willing to provide some heavy machine guns to your department to resist Qin Yu's threat. "Okubo Road.

"We need not only heavy machine guns, but also a lot of rifles. Bullet. In addition, Mr. Consul can first tell me about your conditions. Zhang Zuolin said loudly.

"As long as a few adults agree, the empire is willing to help you bring down Qin Yu. Let you take charge of the military and political power of Mukden Province, sell you arms at a price, and provide you with loans. Of course, in the future, you need to agree to our establishment of police in some cities in Mukden, hire our instructors to help train the army, and give our country certain convenience in opening mines and factories. Sign a mine lease contract with us. Okubo seduced, "Of course, both sides benefit from these collaborations, as far as I know." Qin Yu's coal and iron mine in Benxi makes a profit of no less than one million yuan every year. He ordered a set of steel equipment from Germany, up to millions of yuan, such a large financial resource, which is why you can't beat him. ”

"What? Profit of no less than one million yuan every year! Zhang Zuolin, Feng Linge, Wu Junsheng and others looked at each other, with a look of disbelief, Qin Yu used to start in Benxi, this is something that everyone knows, but who can clearly understand that Qin Yu's industry in Benxi is so valuable, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hen that lays golden eggs, and it can earn a million yuan a year, even if you use money to smash it, you can smash a few of them to lie down.

They have come to their current position, and they have seen a lot of ups and downs, and in this northeast, it is really hard to imagine what it is like to earn millions of yuan a year. The entire Fengtian Province has a population of more than 10 million, and the annual financial income is only 10 million yuan, and Qin Yu alone accounts for nearly one-tenth, in other words, the money earned by more than one million people in a year is only about the same as Qin Yu, what kind of concept is this?

"No wonder, no wonder Qin Yu is so strong." Wu Junsheng muttered.

"It is precisely because of sufficient funds that Qin Yu can buy a large number of ordnance from Tsarist Russia, raise so many cavalry, and even have the spare energy to settle a large number of immigrants in Taonan and build new roads." Okubo said, "In the past few years, Qin Yu has also put a lot of money in Taonan, and one million is only the income of Benxi, and it is really much higher than this number." If a few of you can defeat Qin Yu, these resources will be yours in the future, but you don't know how to operate, hand it over to the empire to develop, and then share the benefits, wouldn't it be a very good thing for everyone? ”

There are some signs of fever in the eyes of Feng Linge and Wu Junsheng, one million a year, it is really too tempting, the entire Republic of China has a territory of thousands of miles, a population of hundreds of millions, and there are only a handful of people who can have this kind of income. If you can make so much money in a year, where can you still work so hard? Usually, if you deduct a little bit in the army, you have to worry about being poked in the back, and the money you have saved for decades is less than a fraction of others, how can people be willing?

"Sixth, what do you think of this?" Feng Linge looked at Zhang Zuolin, the stakes were very high, he couldn't decide alone, Wu Junsheng's strength was no longer what it used to be, and his right to speak was naturally not as good as Zhang Zuolin.

"Second brother, third brother, let's go to the side and discuss it first." Zhang Zuolin pulled Feng Linge and the two of them, and said to Okubo, "The matter is very important, Mr. Consul will wait for a while, and wait for our brothers to discuss it first." ”

"A few adults are so good to think it through." Okubo nodded.

"Sixth. What do you have to say in private? When he arrived at the side hall, Feng Linge couldn't wait to ask.

"Second brother, third brother, I can't agree to this, ask the Japanese instructors, and promise them to send more police. It is a betrayal of sovereignty, in the past, the imperial court did these things to make people point their backs and scold, our little sesame officials really committed this kind of mistake, the central government will hold us accountable at any time, not to mention the mines, we can make money ourselves, if we sell to the Japanese, we will be scolded by everyone. Zhang Zuolin explained, I know that the Japanese are not so kind. If you control Fengtian Province and give up all these sovereignty to Lu, even if you become a Fengtian Overseer, it is also an angry Overseer, what's the point.

"But now without the help of the Japanese, we can't beat Qin Yu, can we lose all like this?" Wu Junsheng was a little unwilling, in big things. He didn't see it as clearly as Zhang Zuolin.

"I don't think it's as good as that, if it's a verbal promise. Let's promise first, if the Japanese are willing to help, forget it, the Japanese don't agree, then dare to do nothing, if it is really signed, there are more than a few of us. I'm afraid that even my parents and brothers at home can't hold their heads up for the rest of their lives, and I won't do this anyway. Zhang Zuolin's tone was firm, and he knew the stakes well.

"Lao Liu is right, these are all acts of betrayal of power, and the Republic of China is about to be established. The president has worked hard to make the country prosperous, and we have done this kind of thing, and it will not be long-term in the future. If the Japanese can find us, they must have also found Qin Yu, what Qin Yu disdains to do, we do it, but I am afraid that it will be looked down upon. ”

Feng Linge breathed a sigh of relief after a while, Feng Linge in history can teach a son like Feng Yong, and he is not a person without bones, after Zhang Zuolin's reminder, he also thought clearly.

"Could it be that you treat me as a three-year-old?" After listening to the thoughts of several people, Okubo couldn't help but sneer, "If you don't form a valid contract, you will regret it in the future, won't I take this responsibility for nothing?" The arms of the empire did not fall from the sky in vain, and if you want to get it, you must pay for it. ”

"The three of us have limited power now, and it is useless to sign a contract, if Mr. Consul thinks it will be successful, then it will be done, if it is not successful, then there is no way. If it really doesn't work, we can also pay for a batch of arms from you, Mr. Consul, in my opinion, is that good? Zhang Zuolin thought of a compromise solution.

"Buying arms? Do you think your financial resources are comparable to Qin Yu's? Okubo asked rhetorically.

A few people were silent, this is indeed the case, they can buy it, can't Qin Yu buy more?

Okubo thought that he had captured the vital point of a few people, "Except for the direct support of our army, you definitely can't resist Qin Yu." Let's think about it again, Qin Yu took Fengtian, and a few of them will have nothing. If you win, it's the exact opposite. ”

"Mr. Consul means direct troops?" Zhang Zuolin and the others were taken aback.

"What do you think?" Several high-ranking Japanese officials in the provincial capital of Fengtian thought that Qin Yu was too unruly and difficult to control, and they did not buy the Japanese account at all. The lesser of the two phases, I still think that Zhang Zuolin and Feng Linge are easier to control.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Consul, but you don't bother with this." Zhang Zuolin categorically refused.

"My lord, Lao Xijie is lost!"

"My lord, there is a brigade of cavalry outside the city!"

Sent away the unwilling Okubo, and one bad news after another kept coming.

"You send someone to the Governor's Mansion and tell Qin Yu that I want to see him and negotiate the end of the Mukden War." Zhang Zuolin finally made up his mind.

"I'll go with you!" Feng Linge said, although this incident started because of Zhang Zuolin, but Zhang Zuolin behaved interestingly, Feng Linge naturally would not let him bear all the faults alone.

"No need, a few of us always have a hand or two." Zhang Zuolin shook his head and refused. (To be continued......)
