"Kawashima Shun, you came to me this time, and you are looking for trouble with me again?" When he returned to inspect the embassy, Qin Yu's old god sat there comfortably, and he didn't let people serve tea to Kawashima Shun, saving the time of the people below washing the tea cups.

"Your Excellency, you have come here this time to ask for your Excellency, or to exchange interests." Contrary to Qin Yu's expectations, the two-hour wait did not make Kawashima smooth impetuous, nor did he have half an impatient look.

"An exchange of interests? Tell me, what do you want, and what can you get in exchange? Qin Yu asked curiously, after dealing with the Japanese so many times, he used to raise his eyebrows and raise his eyes, but suddenly the Japanese became kind and pleasant, and Qin Yu was really a little unaccustomed.

"Your Excellency, the Northeast is building railways everywhere, which is a violation of the agreement that your country has signed with our country before." Kawashima drops by.

"The truth comes out under the power, your country only relied on the First Sino-Japanese War and the subsequent Russo-Japanese War to win the rights and interests in the Northeast, is it legal and reasonable for your country to send troops to invade the Northeast? If you just want to talk to me about this, save your tongue, my time is also very valuable. Qin Yu smiled, "In the past few years, your country has stood on Nanman Road, and you have also gained a lot of benefits, so you don't need to focus on my little benefit." ”

At this time, the Northeast Army had exceeded 200,000 people, and Japan's standing army at this time was only 300,000.

"Of course, I didn't come here this time to have another dispute with Your Excellency, and my country can not pursue the matter of building a railway in the Northeast on its own, but I hope that the patrol will enable Your Excellency to provide convenience in other aspects." Kawashima said that with Qin Yu's style of acting, the Japanese side also knew that there was no way to stop the construction of the railway in Northeast China by just verbal protests. Qin Yu's attitude clearly told the Japanese that there was no other way to go except to force the Northeast to submit, but the Northeast Army had already proved its own strength in the First Battle of the Middle East Road, and won a melee of more than 200,000 people in the case of Fengtian and the accumulation of tens of thousands of troops. The intensity of the war was not far worse than that of the Russo-Japanese War.

Because the Northeast Army has a deep foundation in the Northeast and has an advantage in technology and arms, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters estimates that it will be difficult to end the operation against the Northeast Army in a short period of time if it dispatches 200,000 troops, and because the United States is participating in the European War, the pace of military expansion is unprecedented, and Japan does not dare to take the risk of offending Britain and the United States and other countries to start a fight with the Northeast when the European War is about to end.

"In what ways?" Qin Yu asked.

"The October Revolution in Tsarist Russia and the rise of Soviet power threatened the very foundations of the capitalist world. The Reich categorically did not allow this to happen, the small number of old armies existing in Tsarist Russia was no longer enough to resist the attack of the Soviets, and it was necessary for the Reich to prevent the growth of the Soviets. Kawashima Shun's tone showed a murderous aura.

"Sending troops to the Russian Far East?" Qin Yu sat up straight suddenly, and the surprise on his face couldn't be concealed.

"Yes, what does the tour make your Excellency think?" Kawashima Jun asked as he stared at Qin Yu's eyes.

"Your country sent troops to the Russian Far East. As long as the army does not enter Heilongjiang, it has nothing to do with me. I will not harass your country's actions, so why ask for my opinion on this matter. Qin Yu waved his hand and smiled.

"Naturally, it is necessary to take advantage of the northeast place, and the route drawn up by our country is to take the eastern road and attack from Manchuria to Chita, and to attack from the Ussuri railway to Boli. In the end, he will learn from Transbaikalia, and the Middle East Road is inseparable from the support of His Excellency. Kawashima Jun finally made his intentions clear.

"Studying in Transbaikalia, your country has a great appetite." Qin Yu said with a smile, "Such a vast land. It's much bigger than the Northeast, are you sure you can eat it? ”

"The inspection has misunderstood Your Excellency, and this move by our country will only curb the eastward development of Soviet power and cause indelible losses to your and our countries." Kawashima is not authentic.

"By the Middle East? If your country were to give me a weed-and-beat rabbit, wouldn't I have to reap the consequences? Qin Yu was a little playful.

"Your Excellency, this time my country is expected to send about four divisions, and the total number of troops is only more than 50,000, and the Northeast Army has just won a big battle of more than 100,000 people in Heilongjiang, and the army sent by our side is not enough to threaten the existence of the Northeast." Shun Kawashima explained.

"That's what I said, but there is no basis for empty words, I used to expand my territory to Jilin and Heilongjiang, even if it was this war on the Middle Road, I wanted to borrow the South Manchurian Road to transport troops and never got the support of your country, and now the position has changed, why should I support your country." Qin Yu asked rhetorically, although Qin Yu asked Japan to test the depth of this pool of water in the Far East, but he agreed so easily, it would be too cheap for the Japanese.

"Our country has not interfered in the unauthorized construction of railways in the northeast, is it not that your Excellency is unwilling to agree to this little effort?" Kawashima Shun said not very happily.

"One yard to one yard, so let's do it, I heard that your country has provided more than 10,000 yen to the central government of our country, and I am also short of money in the Northeast, so the amount is not too much, 50 million yen is enough, as long as your country is willing to provide a loan, not to mention borrowing the Middle East Road, it is completely possible to help collect some military supplies nearby. Your country has accumulated a lot of wealth during the European war, and there should be no shortage of this little money. Qin Yu showed a fox-like smile, there are many debts, and it is undoubtedly a waste of resources to lend money to Duan Qirui to train and participate in the army, but if the Northeast can have an additional 50 million yen to spend, there will be too many things about ability.

"I can't make decisions about this." Kawashima Jun hesitated for a moment, unable to make a decision.

"There is no owner, and the virtuous live in it, and now there is chaos in Russia. Like your country, the Northeast does not want to see a huge empire similar to the former Tsarist Russia rise again in the north, and it would be very beneficial for the Northeast to maintain its division and fight for its own war, of course. As a new regime, especially when it is surrounded by Britain and the United States, the Soviet Union will no longer make enemies everywhere as before, and if your country refuses to lend to me, it doesn't matter, anyway, I will not be short of money to spend in a short time when I get the reparations. Qin Yu looked indifferent.

"I wonder what the patrol envoy plans to spend so much money for?" Kawashima Shun tried to ask, Qin Yu was right, Japan had gained a lot in the European war, and it had borrowed a lot of foreign debts from the original debt. The funds are unprecedentedly abundant, and if 50 million yen can be exchanged for Qin Yu's support for Japan's dispatch of troops to the Russian Far East, it is undoubtedly very cost-effective. The Japanese government has not wasted much money on this money.

"I plan to use this fund to promote compulsory primary education in Jilin, Harbin, Rehe, Chahar and other places, and to establish a number of professional technical schools, as well as about 30 primary schools. Medium, Higher Pedagogical University. ”

Qin Yu pondered for a moment. Then he said, if this money is directly used to expand the establishment of the Northeast Army, or to increase aircraft and tanks, Japan will naturally have to think twice, after all, Japan does not have its own tank force now, and the planes have been beaten by the Northeast Army to only a few planes. At this time, the Northeast Army had nearly 100 planes, and if the Northeast Army smashed tens of millions of yen again, it would be even more difficult for Japan to know where to deal with the Northeast where the aircraft performance was even better. The pattern limited its development ability, and even if Duan Qirui received more than 100 million yen, the developed army hired Japanese instructors. Japan knows everything about buying Japanese arms, but the Northeast Army is completely different, and the threat of 50 million yen is far greater than Duan Qirui's 100 million yen.

However, if we invest in education, which is not directly harmful to Japan, the pressure on Japan will be greatly reduced. The people who are cultivated will not have much impact for a few years.

"I will convey your request to the base camp. If all the loans are used for the promotion of compulsory education, it should not be a big problem, and the empire has always been very concerned about the education of your country. Kawashima Shun said something that made Qin Yu feel so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.

"Very good, as long as the loan can be completed, I am still very trustworthy." Qin Yu forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart and nodded and smiled. "By the way, I almost forgot, there is one more thing, I hope your country can help me."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"Your country has a deep influence on Seminov, and regarding this peace talks, I hope that Seminov can be more relaxed on the issue of the payment of reparations, and it is best to pay it all at once; if the indemnity cannot be paid in time, the Northeast will send troops to Seminov again, which will inevitably cause misunderstanding in your country, and I am not happy to see this." Qin Yu had bad intentions in his heart, Seminov used the railway as collateral to borrow money from the Japanese, which means that the compensation basically came from this batch of loans, and it was far more useful to tell the Japanese than to warn Seminov.

"Seminov will definitely abide by the post-war agreements." Kawashima nodded.

"Very good, in fact, there are times when I am not deliberately making enemies of your country, once cooperation is reached, this time on the issue of the Far East, the Northeast will not have any behavior to delay your country." Qin Yu assured.

Leaving the Patrol Embassy, Kawashima Shun breathed a rare sigh of relief, after dealing with Qin Yu for so long, could it be such a good time to speak.

"It's really beyond your means that you also want to occupy the Russian Far East." As soon as Kawashima Shun left, Qin Yu snorted, the Russian Far East is more vast than the Northeast region, the climate is even worse, except for a Trans-Siberian Railway, the transportation conditions are extremely poor, this kind of vast and sparsely populated place, Japan without any mass base can only be forcibly controlled by the army, that is to say, it is a war of pure attrition, but it is just right, let the Japanese and the Soviets consume each other for a while, otherwise the Japanese will always stare at the Northeast This acre of land, Qin Yu's life will not be comfortable.

With the intervention of the Japanese, the reparations on Seminov's side could not run away. Qin Yu also put his mind down for the time being. With this war reparation, before the surrender of Germany, the military-related steel, munitions, medicine and other industries will have a better time in the last few months, and even if there is no war money in the future. Life can go on.

"Hey! Brother Xuguang, it's me, Qin Yu. Putting aside the matter of Japan for the time being, Qin Yu thought of another very important thing.

"Dashuai, what are your orders?" Tian Helin asked.

"We have taken back this Middle Road, but there are only a few trains in our hands. If you talk to the people of the Department of Communications and the enterprises in the United States and buy the train as soon as possible, the railway will be vacant for one day, and the goods and crops in Heilongjiang and Taonan will not be able to be transported, and it will also be a loss for our northeast. Qin Yu said on the phone, although outside the agreement, he forcibly asked for more than two dozen trains from Dmipov. But adding up to less than thirty trains is far from enough for the entire Middle East Road, but this is also no way, during the European War, the entire Trans-Siberian Railway train wagons are seriously insufficient,

"Don't worry, Dashuai is already talking with the company in the United States, and he has also talked about the train locomotive with Mr. Du's office, and Mr. Du's office also intends to build a train locomotive factory in the northeast." Tian Helin replied on the phone.

"Brother Xuguang knows it in his heart. Then I can rest assured, you can handle this matter with Du Liming and the people from the Department of Transportation. That's right. Regarding the immigration over there in Heilongjiang, you can also coordinate with Tao Yi, so it's your old buddy, right? Qin Yu thought about it, the huge railway plan in the Northeast has started construction, and the demand for trains will inevitably increase sharply in the future, with Tian Helin's shrewdness and ability. You won't be surprised.

Dashuai was relieved that of the more than 2 million mu of fertile land along the Middle East Road Railway, 6.7 million mu was allocated to the Russians who had immigrated over, and the remaining 1.3 million mu was reclaimed, as well as newly reclaimed fields. The number of immigrants there this year is tentatively planned to be about 200,000, and the number of victims has not been a problem since the war and famine in Kannai for many years. Tian Helin reported the good news, "plus this year's road construction, as well as other hydropower, thermal power station construction, this year's absorption of 500,000 hungry people in the Guannai is also within the acceptable range, the population of the Northeast has grown very rapidly in the past two years, the number of hungry people organized by the Northeast government has reached such a number, the number of spontaneous people to come to the Kanto to make a living is also increasing day by day, if tens of thousands of Russians pour in, by the end of the year, the population under the rule of the commander is expected to exceed 27 million." ”

"Really? That's a great thing. Qin Yu laughed when he heard this, at this time, for the Northeast, human resources are extremely valuable, organize a large number of immigrants to Heilongjiang, and dilute the Russians who fled to Heilongjiang Province, so that these Russians can be gradually assimilated, so that they can become white skin and yellow heart.

Qin Yu spared no effort in expanding the population of the Northeast, and it is expected that it will be able to break through to more than 30 million people in a few years, remembering that the history of later generations said that after the 918 Incident, 30 million people in the Northeast fell under the iron heel of Japan, and the Northeast at this time can reach this level several years in advance, and Qin Yu is not without a little pride in his heart.

Even in the war, because the war has not spread along the Middle East Road, the war lasted not long, and did not have a big impact on the economy of the Northeast, even in the war, the Northeast economy is also in the process of rapid development, the only affected is Heilongjiang Province, but with the recovery of the Middle Road, Heilongjiang has a unique advantage in the Middle East, and it is also a matter of the earliest to catch up.

After the war, the economy of Northeast China returned to its original track, and after adding Vladivostok as an export port for goods, Heilongjiang and most of Jilin even had a greater advantage than before.

The steel mills and munitions factories in the northeast are taking advantage of the energy that has exploded since the end of the war, trying to get a piece of the last pie in this war. With the birth of these cars and trucks, as well as the roads, hydropower facilities that reach nearby major cities, the Northeast has begun to initially enter the threshold of modern industrial civilization.

The land in the Northeast is fertile, there are few natural disasters, Qin Yu has been building water conservancy in the past few years, so that the floods that endanger agriculture in some areas have also been contained, compared with the continuous disasters and famines in the Guannai, the Northeast is a bumper yield year after year, and a large amount of grain is sold to the Guannai, Japan and other places. However, at this time, a group of merchants from the Northeast, as well as the merchants from Guannai who joined the Fengtian Merchant Group, were hoarding flour, soybeans, sugar and other food-related items in the Northeast. These goods were stored in large quantities in warehouses in Changchun, Qinhuangdao, Yingkou and Harbin. Although tens of millions of funds have raised grain prices in Northeast China to a certain extent, these peasant households, which are scattered among tens of millions of peasant households, can also boost the consumption capacity of Northeast China to a considerable extent.

Compared with the gradual prosperity of the Northeast, at this time, the Guannai fell into a chaotic war, and the Beiyang Army, the Hunan Army, and the Gui Army launched a tug-of-war in Hunan. After Li Yuanhong stepped down as president, Feng Guozhang assumed the post of president, and the power struggle with Duan Qirui became more and more intense. Feng Guozhang changed from supporting Duan Qirui to unify the Republic of China by force, and the dispute between the two factions of the Beiyang Army became more and more obvious. First of all, due to the leakage of the direct line Wang Zhanyuan, the direct line was suppressed by the Anhui line. Later, due to the fact that the Beiyang Army was burdened by Zhang Jingyao, who had corrupted military discipline in Hunan, and was extremely hostile to the Hunan people, coupled with the rainy weather in the south, the northern soldiers were very unwell, and the voice of the main peace faction was very loud, and Qirui was also a little difficult to deal with for a while.

At this time, Qin Yu was extraordinarily comfortable outside the pass, and the troops stationed in Heilongjiang gradually withdrew south, but due to the chaotic situation in Tsarist Russia, Qin Yu still left 4 divisions in Heilongjiang, in view of the experience of fighting with Seminov on the Western Front, the Northeast Army split the original cavalry brigade and expanded it into two cavalry brigades, and a cavalry brigade was put in Hulunbuir. In addition, in Rehe, Chahar each placed a cavalry regiment. Within a few months, the Northeast Army made up for all the original losses, and added a special operations brigade on the original basis.
