Chapter 202 The Beginning of the Transaction

"General Qin, long time no see." Chasayev was very flattered by Qin Yu and did not hide the joy on his face.

After introducing a few nobles and Qin Yu who came with him, Chasayev excused himself to have something to do and entered a simple and luxurious inner room with Qin Yu next to him.

"Commander Qin, did you still sell the rifles and artillery production design drawings you mentioned before?" Chasayev asked. "There's another group of technicians."

By the window is a pot of colchicum with ovoid bulbs and a black-brown rind. Qin Yu stood beside him and peeled off a bit of dead skin on it.

"Naturally, it still counts, I don't know what Mr. Viscount Lu Dao has brought me this time?" Qin Yu asked.

"I brought the Mosingana rifle you wanted, the 1902-style 76MM field gun, and the 1904-style 76MM mountain gun, when will Division Commander Qin give the money? There are also blueprints for the design of a new destroyer. Chasayev said, "If Senior Commander Qin gives me money, I will also have a way to get the design drawings for other weapons." ”

"Very well, Mr. Viscount, did you bring the blueprints to Fengtian City? When you see the drawings, when the money will be credited to Mr. Viscount's account. ”

Qin Yu stroked his palm and smiled, after laying out for so long, Chasayev finally took the bait. It seems that this kid has been eating, drinking, and merrymaking, especially taking drugs, and has spent almost all of his savings, so he is so eager to make a deal. In addition to gunpowder production, Zhang Shun's Blackjack consortium in the United States also began to set up several weapon research laboratories. It's just the information from the research and development, design, production, and trial of weapons to the troops. It took a long process in the middle, and it was too late to start with the idea of building a huge arms company. Tsarist Russia is full of water, artillery is ready-made. Compared with the weapons in service with Britain and Germany, they are slightly inferior in some aspects, but they also have their own advantages. After all, the water is also a well-developed weapon, which has already installed millions of troops in Tsarist Russia.

With the full-fledged experience of Tsarist Russia in building weapons. Blackjack will do more with less if he creates his own arms business.

"Okay, I've brought the drawings to Fengtian City, and General Qin can send someone to get them at any time." Chasayev said, "Of course, our transaction must be kept secret by General Qin, if it is leaked, it will be a big trouble for you and me." ”

"That's for sure, I'm not stupid enough to be that bad." Qin Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Viscount, don't worry. I don't want to be troubled by your country, this kind of transaction is only known to you and me. ”

Chasayev nodded, then extended the invitation.

"I heard that a martial artist from your country is going to compete with a boxing master from the United States today, is General Qin interested in going to see it?"

"I won't go, there is still some military business, and besides, I am not very interested in this aspect, so I will not bother Mr. Viscount's Yaxing." Qin Yu shook his head, this kind of event was made possible by him. It's not strange for a long time, unless Qin Yu, the kind of top-level fighter, will take a look. Ordinary matches are no longer able to attract his attention.

"Wang Yuhai, go and call Du Liming over." Chasayev went out to continue looking for fun, and Qin Yu beckoned Wang Yuhai, who was guarding the door, to call someone.

After a while, Du Liming, who was also a guest today, came to the room.

"Liming, more than 20 nobles came to Tsarist Russia this time, do you have any opinion of them?" Qin Yu asked.

"The master seat refers to digging out the funds on them. And influence in Tsarist Russia? Du Liming is clear at one point, most of these nobles only seek pleasure, Qin Yu doesn't think much of this kind of person, what can make Qin Yu interested is naturally their money, as well as the privileges they can enjoy in Tsarist Russia. The use of these brings sufficient benefits to Mukden.

Qin Yu nodded. These corrupt elements are still very rich, and it is not only these two dozen people that Qin Yu values. Rather, it was the huge aristocrats of Tsarist Russia. The vast and decaying machine of Tsarist Russia would eventually collapse in the unprecedented catastrophe of the October Revolution. The loss of the soil for survival will inevitably cause a great exodus of the Russian nobility. As the owners of the wealth of the Tsarist Russian Empire, these people had an abundance of money that anyone would covet them.

If you can keep these people in Fengtian City, it is equivalent to keeping these people's funds. Whether they use it for consumption or have some of it in the bank, it has a great role in promoting the economic development of Mukden. The more comfortable it was for Tsarist Russians to settle down. This is of great benefit to Qin Yu in recruiting those technical talents of Tsarist Russia in the future. Otherwise, with so many countries, why would others come to the backward Northeast instead of the more prosperous and stable United States, or other places?

After explaining this idea to Du Liming, Qin Yu went directly to the train station. At this time, the streets outside the station were lined with heavily armed soldiers. Many passers-by saw the novelty, but there was not much fear, since Qin Yu entered Fengtian City, the most intuitive change was military discipline and police discipline. After the first few disturbances were dealt with seriously. Such a thing is almost extinct. Coupled with the neat attire of the soldiers at this time, the image has also changed greatly. The saying that a good man should not be a soldier has been changed in Mukden, and some children of ordinary families want to send their sons to the army even after sharpening their heads. It's just that the recruitment threshold for Fengtian soldiers is relatively high, and not everyone can hire even policemen. After all, the entire population of Mukden is more than 10 million, and the police and soldiers together are less than 1 percent of the total population.

"Yuchen, now that I am no longer General Fengtian, I didn't expect you to come to see off this old man today, and put on such a big battle, it really makes me a little overwhelmed." Zhang Xiluan was quite moved when he saw Qin Yu's huge battle.

"The marshal was canonized as General Zhangwu by the central government this time, and I heard that he will go to Hubei to take up his post in the future and supervise the military affairs of Hubei. The Northeast is located outside the Guan, which is not as good as Hubei to choke the throat of the Central Plains, and the handsome man is also Gao Sheng, and he has worked together for so long. How can I say that I don't come to say goodbye as a subordinate official. Qin Yu said.

"What do you say about Gao Sheng, although I am from Sichuan, but I have been in Fengtian for so many years, and I am a little reluctant to leave suddenly." Since the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, Zhang Xiluan has been staying in the northeast. There is nothing wrong with that. "In the past two years, you have also had a heart in Yuchen, and the little shares in my hand can be regarded as a complete return to Zhao."

At the beginning, because he stayed in Fengtian and could provide Qin Yu with a certain amount of convenience, he received Qin Yu's benefits, and there were a lot of dividends in the past two years, adding up to hundreds of thousands of yuan, but now he is not in Fengtian, and then pinched it in his hands, Zhang Xiluan felt that he was thick-skinned.

"The gate of Mukden is always open for the great marshal. As for those shares, how embarrassed to take them back, I asked people to prepare some souvenirs from the Northeast, and this time the handsome went south, and they also brought it with them. Qin Yu refused Zhang Xiluan's return of shares.

"I won't say much if you're polite, Yuchen, you're a benevolent person." Zhang Xiluan sighed, under the congratulations of the soldiers. Embarked on a float heading south.

"This Qin Yu is not as aggressive as before." Zhang Xiluan has been an official for many years and knows how to make changes. However, as his nephew, Zhang Biao is still a little obsessed with the past, so that he has no contact with Qin Yu later, leaving Fengtian at this time, according to Zhang Biao's idea, there is no need to borrow the brand of Zhang Xiluan Fengtian General and fall into the well. Anything that is ridiculed in person can happen. I just didn't expect things to be unexpected. Qin Yu not only lost their face, but instead showed the highest standard of treatment, and personally sent Zhang Xiluan to the train station, so that Qin Yu could personally send the characters to the train station, until now. It's just Zhang Xiluan.

"You, you see Qin Yu as too simple, young and tall but not arrogant, benevolent and righteous, even I, who used to be right with him, now have a good opinion of him, not to mention his subordinates who are determined to the ground." Zhang Xiluan said with emotion, "In the future, this Qin Yu is going to become a big climate." ”

"Why did the second uncle say that?" Zhang Biao asked.

Judging from the situation in the past few years, Qin Yu fought for control of Fengtian at the beginning, more for the subsequent governance, harvesters, trucks, cars, and then airplanes, the first large Benxi Iron and Steel Plant in the Republic of China, many of which were the pioneers of the Republic of China, in the past two years, all kinds of primary and secondary schools have been built, hundreds of teachers have been built, and hundreds of new factories and enterprises have been opened. Even if Qin Yu didn't go against me at the beginning, I wouldn't have been able to do it like this. ”

"Fengtian's economy is so hot now, I don't believe that Qin Yu didn't benefit from it." Zhang Biao was a little unconvinced.

"Even if you get benefits from it, you can make Fengtian have such construction achievements, and it is the only one in the Republic of China." Zhang Xiluan saw more things in his position, "This year alone, Fengtian's investment in education funds has reached more than 1.8 million yuan, more than 2 million yuan in agriculture, forestry and water conservancy, and more than 4.3 million yuan in road construction. In the past, the internal and external debts of Fengtian alone added up to thousands of thousands, the provincial treasury, and the official number of the silver were basically empty, and they were also burdened with a lot of bad debts, but these debts were solved in just over two years, and now there is a large surplus, in exchange for other provinces, even if there is a surplus, it is too late to put it into private pockets, where will so much money be invested in education, agriculture and forestry, and roads? ”

Zhang Xiluan asked himself that he couldn't do this.

Zhang Biao's status is far inferior to that of his second uncle, and he has never been exposed to this kind of data, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard such a huge number.

"Hubei is also one of the strongest provinces, and this time the second uncle went south to supervise Hubei's military affairs, which is much better than staying in Mukden." No matter how good Qin Yu does in Fengtian, it has nothing to do with them, a provincial overseer, except for the annual dividends, there is no way to intervene in other fields, otherwise with the wealth of Fengtian, it is enough to gather tens of millions of goods in one or two years.

"I'm afraid things are not so easy, there is Qin Yu in Fengtian, and when he arrives in Hubei, there are no other local snakes." Zhang Xiluan is worried, he has been an official in Fengtian for many years, and he still has some foundation, this time he went to Hubei to be almost a bare-pole commander, and he really had to encounter the opposition of local real power figures, and he didn't even have a usable person in his hands, so what to do to fight with others. I'm afraid the result won't be much better than in Mukden. What Zhang Xiluan didn't know was that his worries quickly became a reality.

"Master's seat. This time, Zhang Dashuai was sent away, and another Duan Dashuai appointed by the central government was coming, and the president had to go to Beijing for a while, which was really troublesome. General Songpa entered Beijing, and although the president was ostensibly courteous to him, he was not given any substantive position. It's no different from house arrest. However, the central power generation, and the division seat will not go to Beijing, and it will not be reasonable. Lan Tianwei said worriedly, the development of Fengtian depends on Qin Yu, in recent years, Fengtian's finances have doubled continuously, and the industry has developed rapidly, if Qin Yu is reused in the central government, it is nothing, but looking at the current situation, it is good to be able to return to Fengtian. Where are you still looking forward to promotion. It would be a pity if Cai was placed under house arrest in Beijing, as Cai Yi did.

"I sent a telegram to the central government, saying that Duan Zhigui was corrupt, and he had a previous conviction for bribing the town and the country, and then there was a case of banditry in the newspaper. The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. It is not appropriate for such a corrupt person to supervise the military and political affairs of Fengtian, and I hope that the central authorities will think twice. Appoint meritocracy. Qin Yu thought for a moment and said.

"What does the central government say about letting the division enter Beijing?" Lan Tianwei only felt that Qin Yu spoke and hit the key point with a direct shot. Duan Zhigui's reputation is not good, and it is not a hard skill to be able to get to the point where he is now, mainly because of his qualifications and his friendship with a group of elders in Beiyang.

"Now I'm sick. It is not suitable for the elders to run around, so they will recuperate for a period of time, and in the spring of next year, they will inevitably go to Beijing to listen to the teachings of the president. Qin Yu went to Beijing at this time. Unless it's stupid, it's pretty much the same. According to the vague memory of history, Lao Yuan's ambition to become emperor began to be exposed at the end of this year, and Qin Yu did not have to go to Beijing. According to the current situation, if you go to Beijing, there is a chance that Cai Ye will be second.

"Shizuo, this can hide from the first day of junior high school, but not from the fifteenth, and in the spring of next year, won't you still have to go?" Lan Tianwei felt that Qin Yu's method was not very reliable.

"Now that the war zone on the Shandong side has been canceled, the British army has returned to its original position, but the Japanese army is lying there and not leaving, I think there is something else, there must be a demon when things go wrong, I still stay and watch for a while, the battle is a taboo for soldiers, this Fengtian, I really can't play without it. Bai Lang has also been suppressed, if the Japanese problem can be dealt with well, the president's unification of the whole country will be overwhelming, since this is the case, if I want to be loyal to the president, for him to do things, in fact, it is nothing. We've been working together for a few years, and I won't hide it from you, but if the president is incompetent, I really want to start anew. Let's see. ”

Qin Yu smiled, "But frankly speaking, although some things have been controversial in the past two years, the president has generally done well, the central finance has begun to stabilize, even if it is a little tighter, it is no longer beyond the means, Hanyang Arsenal, Dezhou, Sichuan Arsenal are all rectifying, and now the president is planning the Gongxian Arsenal, if it is done, the military industrial system of the Republic of China has basically been established." If you can dismantle these disobedient local armies that occupy the army, and save a lot of money, this world, it will really revitalize the president, the Republic of China has been weak for a long time, and it should be a capable person at the helm, as long as you have real ability, who will take the helm, I really don't mind. ”

Lan Tianwei's throat moved, she didn't expect Qin Yu to be so outspoken. However, Qin Yu's openness can also be seen more.

"Master, it's not good!" Ding Cheng hurriedly barged in, with an unconcealable anger on his face.

"What can make your lieutenant nervous like this?" Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Look, Master." Ding Cheng handed over the newly received telegram.

Qin Yu took it in his hand and glanced at it, his relaxed expression immediately disappeared, and his face was instantly gloomy.

After Lan Tianwei saw it, he also had the same expression.

"Japan is going to destroy the Republic of China." Qin Yu slapped the telegram on the table.

"The division seat is really not bad, the Japanese army is hovering in Shandong, and it is hiding such a bad intention, if the Japanese army has such an idea, a Sino-Japanese war is inevitable." Lan Tianwei said with a cold face, "The previous police recruitment expansion was really right. ”

"Master, what should we do?" Ding Cheng asked.

"Inform Mukden of the news and call on everyone to boycott Japanese goods. In addition, the 21 articles were actually Japan's policy to destroy China, and they were absolutely unacceptable, and Fengtian Nan'er would rather be a heroic martyr who died in battle than a slave who lived in secret. ”

"The General Staff notified all units to enter a state of combat readiness, transferred the Second Mixed Brigade to Anshan, and closely monitored the Japanese troops in Benxi and Fengtian City. If it really starts, Dalian will not dare to boast, Fengtian, the Japanese army in Anshan will first give him a pot. ”

"Also, urgently expand the army and recruit another 30,000 recruits for the military training camp, if the Japanese army wants to gnaw the hard bone of Fengtian, it must take at least 100,000 people to fill it."

"Yes, Master!" Lan Tianwei's spirit was lifted, although this move was suspected of taking the opportunity to expand the army, but Qin Yu's hostility towards the Japanese army was clear to the entire Feng army system, and so many new troops did not have rifles, and if they really wanted to become an army, they had to deploy rifles from the central government.

The situation was urgent, Lan Tianwei negotiated a few words with Qin Yu, and immediately left for the staff headquarters.

"Division, artillery shells and bullets factory department should stop exporting, and reserve them first." Ding Cheng reminded.

"Well, the shells and bullets are stopped for export, and all of them are left, in case there is a war, you can't do without these guys." Qin Yu nodded, although he knew that this battle could not be fought, but it was nothing to reserve these things for the time being, the European war would last for a long time, and there was no difference between selling it now and selling it later.

"Actually, this is also a good opportunity, although I have made a lot of efforts, but in the past two years, Japan's capital penetration into Mukden has still reached a considerable level, just taking advantage of the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people this time, forcing Japanese goods out of the Mukden market in one fell swoop." For the Japanese firm, as well as Jin Zhengyang, who is also issuing banknotes, Qin Yu wants to get rid of them as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
