Just as the bald man was anxious to put out the fire, another trouble arose, and more than a dozen members and reporters who participated in the Lytton investigation team jointly published their confessions in several of the most famous newspapers in Europe and the United States.

The confession clearly points out that in 1932, during the Japanese army's sweeping operations in Northeast China, there was indeed a large-scale massacre of Chinese civilians, and at least 3,000 unarmed civilians were slaughtered in Pingdingshan alone, including the elderly, women, children and even pregnant women, and in order to cover up their crimes, they even did not hesitate to pay bribes to the members of the investigation team and the accompanying reporters.

They also enumerate in great detail when, where, and by whom they gave them how much money, and even tempted them with women, and finally made them turn a blind eye to such heinous atrocities against their conscience.

"For more than a thousand days and nights, we have been struggling with the torment of our conscience, we have always felt the majestic gaze of God, and the figure of those children who are struggling in the fire, we can no longer endure it, today we stand up and confess our crimes, and at the same time call on those who have not yet come forward to face your conscience bravely." This is how the confession concludes:

There was an uproar in the world.

Although the Pingdingshan tragedy was first stabbed out by an American reporter, under the impetus of Gu Weijun, the Nationalist Government also proposed an investigation to the League of Nations, but Japan firmly denied it, only admitting that Pingdingshan was attacked by bandits, and there were a small number of civilian casualties in the battle, but it was by no means an organized massacre, even if a survivor was found as a witness.

Then the Japanese engaged in some beautification activities to fool the investigation team, such as burying the site, building houses and planting trees on it, and the League of Nations was not interested in caring about this kind of thing, and it was no longer enough to drag it out until Japan withdrew from the League of Nations. There is not much coverage of these in the Western media.

But now not only is the old story rehashed, but it is also in such a shocking way that it is naturally going to cause a sensation, and in addition, Japan's international image has become worse and worse in recent years, especially the attack on the private yacht Marauder in the East China Sea, which has caused them to lose a lot of points. You must know that Yang Feng is extremely popular among European and American women, JY has become synonymous with fashion, and those popular movies, comics, and novels are all associated with this name, in the eyes of familiar others, this product is a complete profiteer, but in the eyes of those who are not familiar with him, this goods is a halo.

This was followed by the Thracian incident. Coupled with JY's long-term media bombardment, the image of the Japanese who are apologetic and docile is gradually demonized, and now with the mass murder of civilians, it is easy to attract attention, not to mention that they still have a criminal record.

Especially in London, England, because the Washington Naval Treaty has expired, countries have gathered here to consider whether to renew a new agreement to maintain peace in the world or the old world order.

Also, by the way, the Thracian incident. Of course, both Britain and Japan knew very well that no one could go to war over such a trivial matter. Even if the newly formed Z Fleet has arrived in Singapore, the performance that needs to be done still has to be done, otherwise the face problem will not be easy to deal with.

As diplomats gathered around the negotiating table, thousands of people with a sense of justice gathered outside the venue to protest the government's cooperation with a group of executioners who had massacred civilians, led by the two Thracian survivors. In tearful speeches, they told how their brave captains had led them into battle against the despicable Japanese, and described in detail how the Japanese navy had attacked the British sailors who had fallen overboard.

These guys who popped up out of nowhere are a headache for the British government, and this is not a strike to protest against wage increases. Or the protests are too long, and those protests can be driven away by the military and police, or even with high-pressure water cannons, and in any case, neither the ruling party nor the opposition parties will have any opinion, and these capitalists welcome the government to defend their interests by any means.

But this time is different, this is external, but also to an outsider who has hurt the feelings of the British people, if the British government has any irrational behavior, then someone has to stand up and trouble them, in fact, several Lords have come out to support these protesters.

In an interview with the New York Times, General McCawy, the head of the American side of the Lytton Investigation Group, openly admitted that he knew about the massacre of Chinese civilians by the Japanese army at Pingdingshan, but in view of the international situation at that time, in order to maintain peace in East Asia and avoid provoking China and Japan to war, he had to make a wrong choice.

"This mistake will leave me with a torment of conscience for the rest of my life." General McCaulie said sadly to reporters.

In addition, he proved that the Japanese did pay bribes to the members of the Lytton investigation team and the accompanying reporters, and that he did not accept them himself, but it is not clear whether others accepted bribes.

This is a heavyweight, if there were still people who were skeptical about the Pingdingshan tragedy before, then now they are convinced, and the image of the Japanese in the international community has suddenly slipped to the bottom.

"Well done, go back and reward the director with $10,000, and write a few more letters in my name, thank the British parliamentarians who helped, and tell them that I Yang Feng will remember their friendship." Yang Feng said to Han Caiyi while eating breakfast while reading the newspaper.

In fact, by this time, those who were more flexible had already guessed that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, after all, in this series of actions against the Japanese, there was obviously a huge shadow behind it, and those who dared to do so with this kind of energy seemed to have no one else except Yang Feng.

But to understand clearly, no matter who is helpless against Yang Feng, at most it is to greet him and his relatives behind his back, but this also makes people understand the weight of Yang Feng's revenge, the Japanese have already surrendered to him, and this thing has not forgotten to take revenge on others.

Just when all parties were busy fighting the fire that Yang Feng had lit, he himself was also having a headache now, not because of the current situation, what kind of fire love burned into his business, what kind of tank he should choose for large-scale manufacturing.

In order to adapt to the current situation of China's roads. This kind of tank is only about ten tons at most, and it will be difficult to use it in the south if there is more, you must know that this is specially prepared by him for the bald guys, and at this time Japan does not have any tanks that can be used, and light tanks are more than enough to deal with them.

"First of all, we can set the weight, which is the 10-ton class. Of course, it's not a big deal to be a little heavier, the second artillery caliber, do you like the three-seven cannon or the four-seven gun? Yang Feng asked Xu Tingyao, who was invited by him.

"Four-seven." Xu Tingyao said without hesitation that he naturally liked the caliber of the artillery.

"Then the artillery is also confirmed, what do you have requirements in terms of speed?" Yang Feng always takes care of the guests who send him money.

"Can't be slower than your tank!" Xu Tingyao was full of resentment when she thought of Yang Feng's tanks running wildly on the training ground.

"Then the minimum speed cannot be lower than fifty per hour." Yang Feng hurriedly motioned to Han Caiyi to write it down.

"And preferably with the same floating capabilities as your infantry fighting vehicle." Xu Tingyao said again.

"This is enough to choke, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get it out in a short time." Yang Feng refused without hesitation, you asked me to build you an amphibious tank now, isn't it clear that it is difficult for me?

Xu Tingyao didn't insist much. In his opinion, Yang Feng must have used some secret techniques on this chariot, and it is normal for him to refuse to contribute it, after all, the two sides are not a family.

"Then we need to study the quantity problem next, you must know that we need a large amount of research funds to develop a new tank, and this fund will eventually be divided into each tank, if you buy more, then the price can naturally be reduced." Yang Feng then said. This batch of tanks is estimated not to be used by themselves without special circumstances, since they are sold to bald guys. It needs to be done as a serious business.

"You'll have to tell me how to pay for the goods." Xu Tingyao said lightly.

"Since we are not outsiders, then I will make it clear, I will not ask for fiat currency, gold, silver, jewelry, medicinal materials are whatever you want, if you have to pay with banknotes, then I will only accept US dollars and pounds." Yang Feng said with a smile.

"In that case, it's better to wait until you determine the unit price." Xu Tingyao said with a smile.

Yang Feng didn't say much. For the bald guy, it is natural to print a bunch of banknotes, and then exchange the tank from his own hands, if that is the case, he will dare to ask for how much he will make, but if he wants to pay real money for it. I guess he'll have to think about the quantity.

But on the whole, it must be much cheaper than him buying it from abroad, and if he mobilizes Sister Meiling to go to the street to raise donations, it is estimated that he will spend less money.

"What tanks are you going to build them for?" After sending Xu Tingyao away, Yang Feng banged on the table and wandered there, Stuart? BT7？ T26？

First of all, this tank can't be too advanced, and it's pointless to say that it's too advanced, it's enough to be able to abuse small bean bags on the battlefield, and secondly, it must be very suitable for activities in the water network area, which Stuart's record seems to be very good, but the T26 seems to be used very well in the hands of the expeditionary force.

However, these are all gasoline engines, Yang Feng hated the shortcomings of scrapping a petrol engine with an incendiary bottle, and Stuart has quite high fuel requirements, T26 armor seems to be very weak, and the BT tank has no record of being used in the water network, so it is difficult to judge whether it is suitable or not.

Tangled!

Yang Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, why don't you develop a tank yourself? A diesel engine of 300 horsepower is estimated to be more than enough, and if not, he can also use the engine of a 59 tank, which he happens to have a lot of spare here.

Then add the Christie suspension system to make a chassis, imitate the T34 with a large inclination shape, and then add a 47 tank gun, and the turret will use a cauldron lid like the 59, and the ones that can be produced here will be produced here as much as possible, and if not, go back to process a part, so that it is enough to piece together a good tank.

This thing quickly scribbled on paper to create a bizarre tank, which can basically be said to be a T34 with a 59 turret and then a small-caliber gun.

"Yes, it looks pretty good!" Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, then got into his compartment, turned on the computer and printer, printed out a set of T34 chassis drawings, and printed out a set of Christie suspension system drawings, and then drove out of the city directly to the tractor factory with a bunch of drawings.

"Go, tell the security guard to send a tank engine! By the way, a few more tanks are well driven. As soon as the goods entered Wang Chuanming's office, he said to the little secretary who was typing at the door.

Wang Chuanming, who was studying how to replicate the four dissimilarities with a group of technical personnel, raised his head and looked at Yang Feng with some surprise. Then he asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I'm going to work on a tank!" Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Tanks?" Not to mention Wang Chuanming, a room full of skilled practitioners were stunned.

"Don't we have tanks?" Liu Jianping said.

"It's not for our own use, it's specially made and sold to Nanjing." Yang Feng said.

Everyone suddenly realized, and one by one they immediately came over with great interest.

"I have a set of chassis drawings here, the kind of tank chassis drawings I sold to the Germans last time, but it was a thirty-ton heavy tank. What we need to build is a ten-ton light tank.

You can refer to this set of drawings, and then disassemble our tank chassis, including self-propelled guns, infantry fighting vehicle chassis can also be referred to, and then design a separate chassis, the suspension system as much as possible to use this Christie suspension system.

In terms of the appearance design of this tank, try to imitate the tank I sold last time, anyway, you have all disassembled and assembled, and the specific internal design is also clear. It's just that now it's just a matter of reducing the thickness of the armor, and as for the artillery, it's okay to use a 47-mm gun.

Everything else is easy to say, one is that the weight of the tank needs to be controlled, it is best not to exceed twelve tons as much as possible, and this kind of tank must have a high speed, the faster the better, and the engine is temporarily first," Yang Feng said and suddenly paused. He suddenly thought of a very serious problem, if the Japanese captured such tanks on the battlefield. So wouldn't it be for nothing that you got the skills of tank diesel engines?

You must know that except for Joseph and Adolf, several other countries are very rubbish in terms of tank and diesel engine skills, and Adolf still relies on his own help.

No, the engine can't be used in 59, and you must continue to use the gasoline engine. Yang Feng then made a decision, anyway, it was not his own person who died at that time, and besides, wouldn't it be the same as if the bald guy's tank was consumed, and he had to buy it himself?

"Wait a minute, don't use our diesel engines, in case they let the tanks go to the Japanese prisoners. Wouldn't we have lost a lot? Go back and contact the United States, let them see if there are gasoline engines with a power of about 200 horsepower, and then get a few of them, preferably water-cooled, anyway, there is no shortage of water in the south.

In addition, I will go back to see if I can get a suitable gasoline engine. This cargo pondered for a while and then said, the twin Cadillac engine of the Xiafei tank is quite good, and when it is added to a tank of more than ten tons, let alone running fifty, it is estimated that it is no problem to run sixty, and it is indeed too terrifying to use the engine of the five-nine tank.

Yang Feng is not worried about whether Wang Chuanming can save a tank for him, although they are a tractor factory here, but in fact it is also Yang Feng's vehicle overhaul factory, including tanks and self-propelled artillery overhauls are here, all of which have been repaired for almost two years, and they are all high-end goods, and it is not easy for them to get a low-end product now.

Not only have the ability to design, they also have the ability to build, there is their own steel casting workshop, the latest electric arc furnace, and even a large hydraulic press, as for those various machine tools, welding equipment are all Yang Feng from the modern age, now the tractor alone produces tens of thousands of vehicles a year, and it is not simple to build a few small tanks for him.

"Should we rebuild the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant?" Wang Chuanming casually pushed the pile of drawings to Liu Jianping, and then said to Yang Feng.

"Why did you think of a steel mill?" Yang Feng asked a little strangely.

"Chongqing is too far away after all, and the transportation depends on the Pinghan Railway, if they really fight with the Japanese, they will not have the ability to take Pingjin, but they have the ability to land on the coast, such as the Haizhou area, and then attack to the west, can Liu Zhi's goods stop the Japanese? When the time comes, they will pinch Pinghan Road, what should we do? Wang Chuanming said.

In fact, the capitalists in Pingjin are generally dissatisfied with Yang Feng's construction of a steel plant in Chongqing, in their opinion, this is purely unprofessional, how good is it to build the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant at their doorstep?

Even now, some people are contacting Yang Feng to reopen the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant, and Wang Chuanming is just testing Yang Feng on their behalf.

But he was right, according to the current situation, it is unlikely that the Japanese will go south from the northeast, after all, it is also a heavy army here, and Yang Feng's security guard is lying behind like a lion, the Japanese really don't have much confidence, but the bald guy is much easier to bully.

If they leave aside Pingjin and attack the bald man's territory alone, Yang Feng will really be in trouble, and it will definitely be impossible to send troops to help, even if he wants to do it, not to mention that the Eastern Army is watching from the north, and no one in the North China army can move.

If they really landed in Lianyungang and Shanghai at the same time, and then attacked west at the same time, it was really possible to cut off the Pinghan Road, Liu Zhi's reputation as a long-legged general was not in vain, although he didn't care about them cutting off the Pinghan Road, but the capitalists in Pingjin didn't see it that way, and it was necessary to build another steel plant in the north.

Before, he was reluctant to build the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant because he was worried that he would not be able to defend Beiping, but judging from the current situation, the Japanese may not take the risk of attacking Pingjin.

"I think about it, it's true, so don't do it myself, I'll take the lead and give out 20% of the shares, and whoever else is willing to join will divide the remaining shares, and I'll let a few more people come from Chongqing, find some more here, and then rebuild the factory." Yang Feng thought for a while and said. (To be continued......)
