Chapter 104: You Hit Yours, I'll Hit Mine
The reaction of the Japanese completely exceeded Zhang Tinglan's estimate, of course, whether the Japanese really plan to increase their troops in the northeast, and even do not hesitate to use force with China, there are still doubts. It is also possible that they are posturing to force China to make greater concessions.
But everything must be prepared for the worst, if Japan is really ready to launch 918 in advance, then Zhang Tinglan will try his best to stop them, otherwise he will become a sinner of the nation.
"Commander, things haven't gotten out of control yet." Yang Yuting spoke: "Japan's various actions are just a gesture, whether it really wants to increase troops, or even use this as an excuse to bring the three eastern provinces into control, is still a question." I think the way to blame the Russians is still right, at least for the time being, the Japanese can only use the pretext of strengthening public order to propose to send more troops, and they do not dare to directly threaten China with force. ”
Lao Zhang also nodded slightly: "Neighbor Ge is right, it just so happens that I am still in the name of the commander-in-chief of the three eastern provinces to suppress bandits, and it is time to show my skills, and I must not be polite to those Russian expatriates and bandits entrenched in Jifeng and other places, the more you catch, the better, the more ruthless you catch, the better, at least you can stop the mouths of the Japanese." ”
"Won't this anger the Russians? If Tsarist Russia makes trouble, I'm afraid we won't be able to bear it! Zhang Zuoxiang said a little worriedly: "Caught between Japan and Russia, we are rats in the bellows, angry at both ends!" ”
"Russia doesn't have to worry about it for the time being." Zhang Tinglan said: "Tsarist Russia is struggling at home, and it has no energy to manage the Far East at all, and Britain and France and other countries will not let Russia mess up, their opponents are still Germans." And we can also use the power of the Japanese to oppress Russia, and during this time I have already bought off the top and bottom of the Russian Far East and scattered the money, and these Russians will give face. It's not impossible to even let them throw some scapegoats! ”
Zhang Tinglan also quickly calmed down. Carefully analyzing the situation in front of them, the Japanese are indeed aggressive, but perhaps not so bad that they are out of control. After all, Japan is not strong enough to ignore the United States, Britain and other powers, and China has always advocated using razing to control razing, and perhaps it can do more about itself.
Lao Zhang patted Zhang Tinglan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since I have Tinglan's guarantee, I will let the Russians do it, and you and Fuchen hurry back to Mukden and find a way to deal with the Japanese." Neighbor's brain is also flexible, and you follow me. Make suggestions, at this crisis juncture, we have to twist into a rope. ”
Through the words just now, Zhang Zuolin saw that Yang Yuting was sober and quick-witted. It's a buildable material, so I decided to take it with me. This little Zhuge of Fengjun also officially entered Zhang Zuolin's field of vision.
"Seven masters. We have captured twenty field radios this time, you can take five first, and promise to contact us at any time! ”
After dividing the radio, Zhang Tinglan was also a little worried about those heavy artillery and machines, and now he will transport the production line back, if the Japanese know a little bit of news. I'm afraid it will cause real trouble.
But these things can't be hidden, once the Japanese really play with their lives, Zhang Tinglan is also ready to break the kettle and touch the Japanese. In short, they can't be allowed to take the three eastern provinces for nothing.
"Dad, I'm going to transport the production line to Nandaying first, and then separate the mint from the Fengtian Machinery Bureau, and in the name of ensuring safety, put the mint near Nandaying and protect it closely, so that we can use the production line in the name of coinage!"
"Well, that's a good idea, in addition, isn't Yuting suppressing bandits, let's transfer the artillery battalion out, in the name of suppressing bandits, training in a place far away from Mukden, I think the birch bark factory is a good choice!"
Last time, Zhang Tinglan took people to copy the Gao family, and a large manor was empty, and now it can be used as a military camp, and there are continuous mountains nearby, which can also be used for training, which outsiders will not easily think. Jiang is old and spicy, Zhang Zuoxiang is experienced, and quickly thought of this idea.
It is a critical moment in front of us, the strength in the hands can be increased a little is a little, and the artillery battalion must be formed as soon as possible, the father and son quickly unified their ideas, they arranged it as soon as possible, and then quickly returned to Mukden.
As soon as he returned to Fengtian, Zhang Tinglan felt a strange atmosphere, the business trips were in a hurry, and everyone's brows seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud. Seeing this, Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Zuoxiang's hearts sank, these ordinary people are actually the most sensitive, and this time the movement is indeed too big.
After they entered the city, the streets were not as lively as they used to be, and from time to time there were Japanese ronins passing by, and after the formation of the Armed Police Corps, the security of Mukden was greatly improved, and the hooligans and ruffians disappeared, and even the ronins were reined in a lot, and now these things have jumped out again.
The chaos on the street makes it clear that they want to find fault, but they don't have the time to deal with them at the moment, so it's important to deal with business. Zhang Tinglan casually bought a newspaper from the newsboy, opened it and saw that most of it was about the carjacking case.
The progress of the case was introduced in a series of articles, the attitudes of the foreign powers were published, and the Beiyang government also frequently stated that it must go all out to track down the murderer. However, the Japanese obviously did not give up, and vigorously demanded that the garrison be expanded to protect Japan's interests, and every squadron of soldiers was killed, and the safety of the overseas Chinese became even more problematic.
The Japanese along the South Manchurian Railway frequently launched exercises, and the Japanese in the Manchurian Railway attached to the western city of Mukden fired guns and artillery day and night, and the common people were all trembling, not knowing when a conflict would occur.
Seeing these Zhang Tinglan's brows twisted into a pimple, it seems that he really underestimated the reaction of the Japanese, but the big husband acts, he does not regret it, and he regrets not doing it! Now that we've reached this point, it's time to go around with the Japanese to see who is the winner.
Zhang Tinglan came directly to Daosheng Bank to find Fred, and as soon as he walked into the office, he saw a short and fat figure sitting opposite Fred, it was Wang Yongjiang.
"Zhang Shuyan, you arranged the carjacking. Confused, really confused! Wang Yongjiang said unceremoniously: "Have you thought about it, the Japanese just made a 21 article, don't you give them an excuse now?" Do you think that if you push it to the Russians, you will be fine? The Japanese are insatiable, all they need is an excuse, and now you take the initiative to give them a chance, and these little devils haven't turned the sky upside down? ”
In the face of Wang Yongjiang's accusation, Zhang Tinglan had nothing to say, and what they said made sense, so they could only smile and say: "Mr. Iron Shrine, now that the matter is over, we should sit down and think about how to deal with the Japanese!" ”
"Hmph, if you had asked me, I would have stopped you even if I had tried my best. Don't look at the fact that you can play the Russians between applause, it is by intrigue and intrigue, by the chain of interests, this thing cannot be put on the table. What can be put on the table is the strength of the upright, don't look at Russia's problems, but it is still much stronger than China, not to mention the thriving Orientals! ”
Since the carjacking occurred, Wang Yongjiang suspected the bold Zhang Tinglan, and it happened that during this time, the Fengjun was also mysterious, so Wang Yongjiang found Zhang Zuolin first, and Lao Zhang also knew Wang Yongjiang's personality and talent, and he was also frightened by the surging momentum, and urgently needed to find someone to discuss, so he told Wang Yongjiang.
Wang Yongjiang had no choice for a while, and he had been soaking in Fred's place for the past few days, in order to understand the latest movements of the powers.
After complaining a few words, Wang Yongjiang said: "Clumsy words, if something happens, it's useless to be afraid, I have to find a way to solve it, I thought about it and thought of two ways." The first is to arrest the murderer as soon as possible, and I suggest that you show the courage of a strong man to break his wrist and let the Russians arrest several organizations that oppose the Tsar and use them to take the blame. The most important thing is to create public opinion and force Yuan Shikai to be tougher and reject Japan's unreasonable demands. ”
When Wang Yongjiang said this, he thought about it again: "Actually, Beiyang is still unreliable, I discussed it with Fred, and this time the great powers also had discord. Britain and Japan are on the side, Russia is troublesome and does not speak hard, but the attitude of the Americans can be exploited. The production line and heavy artillery were produced by the United States, and the United States also wanted to intervene and form an investigation team with Japan. As a result, in order to dominate the Northeast, the Japanese rejected the United States, and the Americans were full of resentment, so it might be useful to ask the United States to come out and say a few words. ”
Although Wang Yongjiang said two ways, he was not completely sure, after all, the enemy is strong and I am weak, the gap is too big, Rao is only skipped by others, and he has no good ideas.
Zhang Tinglan listened to Wang Yongjiang's words, bowed slightly, and then turned to Fred: "Old friend, are you familiar with the American consortium?" ”
Fred was stunned for a moment, then smiled randomly: "Zhang, is there anything else you don't know?" You guessed it right, I do have a connection with the Jewish consortium, but my power is limited, and I don't have the power to influence the consortium's decision-making, and you don't want them to come forward to persuade the US government, and then use the US government to put pressure on Japan, you can't do it at all! ”
Zhang Tinglan showed a smile on his face: "Of course I won't daydream about it, the current situation is that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the two are almost disproportionate, so whether we are attacking or defending, we are not the opponents of the Japanese." Therefore, we can only take special measures, you fight yours, I fight mine, Japan wants to swallow Mukden, we will disturb the Japanese mainland, so that they have no time to take care of the Northeast! ”
Hearing this, Fred and Wang Yongjiang were shocked, they definitely didn't expect that things were so bad, Zhang Tinglan was still full of confidence, and dared to fight Japan's idea, and it seemed that the hand was even bigger, what is this young man's head made of!
"Zhang, are you going to join forces with the consortium to destroy Japan's economy?"
"That's right, during this robbery, I found more than three million yen, plus the capital we can muster, more than fifteen million, although it is not much, but it can be used as a vanguard. Moreover, since the outbreak of the European war, in order to develop industry, Japan has expanded the gap between industry and agriculture, and Japan's domestic contradictions have reached the verge of breaking out. ”
