Since the Republic of China, warlords in various places have issued paper money indiscriminately in order to raise military spending, resulting in serious currency depreciation. It is precisely because of the huge fluctuations in the national currency that foreign banks have exchanged all the Chinese specialties with a pile of paper.

With the rise of the Feng army, the Feng Ticket became more and more stable, and many merchants accepted the Feng Ticket. Especially after sending troops to the Far East, with the successive victories of the Feng army, the tickets became more and more sought after, and more and more businessmen invested in the tickets, resulting in the rapid appreciation of the tickets.

Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "At present, more and more people have admitted to the ticket, we can make up for the financial gap just by printing paper money, and the financial dividend can reach at least more than 50 million yuan, and in the long run, the income will only be more amazing." ”

Wang Yongjiang paused when he said this, and then said: "In a humble way, if we can take the opportunity to promote the ticket to the whole country, the income from this item alone will be enough to make up for the consumption of war funds." ”

As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard this, his brain also spun quickly, in fact, according to Wang Yongjiang's method, it was to let the people of the whole country pay for the war together. This is not unheard of in later generations, and a certain big country relies on green votes to let the whole world bear the cost of war.

Compared with the superpowers, Fengjun is too far behind, and it can only make the domestic pay. In this war, the Feng army did consume a lot of wealth, and if it relied on this method, it would be a good thing to be able to make up for the financial gap.

Zhang Tinglan lowered his head and thought about it, Zuihou waved his hand: "Mr. Min Yuan, the credit of paper money is guaranteed by the strength of the government, and the great powers dare to open banks in China and issue bank bills because their maritime liliang can reach China." If we want to promote the vote to the whole country, we must also have the ability to send troops to the whole country, otherwise others will make a small move casually, and the vote will fluctuate. We have become a cash cow for the great powers. ”

Zhang Tinglan's worries are not unreasonable, to promote the whole country, and at the same time move the cheese of the great powers and warlords in various places, it will definitely be counterattacked, there is not enough strength, this kind of thing that offends the people of the world must not be done, no matter how attractive it is.

"To put it mildly, in fact, I also took into account the risks, but the prestige of the Feng army was shocked. It would be a shame if the opportunity was missed. And then we have to vigorously develop industry, there is not enough money to do it, I have no other way, I have to take risks. ”

Zhang Tinglan is also aware of Wang Yongjiang's considerations. He thought about it carefully and thought about it, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Min Yuan." To make money. It still depends on financial means, but we can come up with a trick. ”

Wang Yongjiang has been thinking about this problem, but he has never found a solution, but after hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, he immediately became interested: "Humble words, do you have any clever plans?" ”

"Currency swap!" Zhang Tinglan smiled and spit out four words: "We can discuss with the provinces." The quantity of the swap is determined, and then when the two provinces trade, the settlement is directly made in the currency of the swap. ”

Wang Yongjiang's understanding of finance over the years has also reached a rather astonishing level, after Zhang Tinglan pierced this layer of window paper. Wang Yongjiang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said with a smile: "This method is very good, the currency fluctuations of the provinces are very huge, if it can be exchanged with the ticket, you can use the ticket to provide them with a guarantee, which has great benefits for stabilizing the currency value." ”

For a small warlord who is weak and weak, being able to tie up with the Feng army is definitely a blessing for them. Of course, in this kind of cooperation, the benefits that Fengjun can get are even more amazing, once called, it is equivalent to forming an alliance.

With this alliance, foreign banks in China will inevitably be sidelined, eventually allowing more Chinese to use their own currencies and avoid the outflow of economic benefits, and as financial ties become closer, cooperation in other areas will only deepen.

If this trend continues, sooner or later a situation of reunification will take shape, and real economic reunification will be more solid than that of the military.

Zhang Tinglan told Wang Yongjiang about his plan, Wang Yongjiang was very happy, and said: "The idea of clumsy words is really unexpected, if it is according to my idea, it has pushed the powerful factions in various places to the opposite side, which greatly increases the risk." And according to the humble method, shili in various places will support us, this is to unite all the liliang who can be united, and jointly deal with the western shili, the odds of winning are much greater. ”

Hearing Wang Yongjiang's praise, Zhang Tinglan was still a little embarrassed, he was just plagiarizing the creativity of later generations, but later generations were deployed in the world, and he could only start in China. And the main goal is still the northern provinces that the Feng army Shili can reach.

However, even so, according to Wang Yongjiang's estimates, it can bring more than 20 million direct profits to Fengjun a year, and it can also promote economic exchanges among various provinces and promote the development of trade, and the benefits that can be produced will inevitably increase exponentially.

"To put it mildly, currency is only one aspect, during this time, investment in the three eastern provinces has also increased significantly, in addition to investment, there are also a number of talents in the three eastern provinces, and even some overseas Chinese are ready to return to China, the talent gap has always been a big trouble, but this time it seems that there is hope to alleviate a lot!"

There is one of the most important principles of capital investment, that is, to ensure safety, which is the nature of capital, and many Chinese businessmen have set up factories in foreigners' concessions and deposited their funds in foreigners' banks for safety.

Now that the Feng army can defeat the Russians, it is clear that the northeast is also a safe place, at least investing in the country, it is more convenient than investing in foreigners. Therefore, during this period, a large number of businessmen came to the three eastern provinces for inspection.

Talent and capital are also similar, they need at least a stage to display themselves, many professionals, they are not unpatriotic, but there is no room to display in the country. These people are not afraid of hardship, they want to be respected, they want to see the value of their work.

In the past, China did not have this foundation, and they did not see any hope, so many people had no choice but to stay abroad, and there were many science and engineering talents in China who went to Japan to find jobs, and there were many in Europe and the United States.

In the past, Zhang Tinglan also searched everywhere, but not many people were really willing to come back, but now the situation is completely different. China's national fortunes have been contained, and by joining the Feng group, they will be able to make efforts to build a strong country. The value of life that has been pursued can be realized, so there is a trend of homecoming around the world.

"Mr. Min Yuan, whether it is investment or talent in your country, we must treat them properly and provide them with preferential conditions, we must seize this trend and concentrate all Chinese elites in the three eastern provinces to jointly build a strong country."

Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will arrange it myself." ”

Whether it's finance. or investment and talents, they can only be regarded as accessories of the war dividends of the Feng army, not a real feast, but this has made Zhang Tinglan excited, and the efforts and sacrifices have not been in vain. If you want to be truly strong, you must rely on fighting. Fight your way out.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan was more concerned about negotiations with the Russians. After all, the Far Eastern issue has not yet settled down, and it is not time to sit back and relax.

During this time, Gu Weijun and Molotov repeatedly negotiated many times, and at first Molotov was aggressive, insisting that the Chinese army unconditionally release all prisoners of war and that the Feng army withdraw from the Far East. Restoration of the original Chinese border.

A loser, still so arrogant, of course Gu Weijun will not be polite, so these requests were all rejected. And Gu Weijun was-for-tat. Fengjun demanded that Russia recognize the invalidity of the previous unequal treaties, return the illegally stolen territories to China, and pay China $200 million in war reparations.

Of course, the Russians would not agree to Fengjun's request, and the two sides went back and forth for more than a month. Even during the negotiations, Russia sent a part of its forces to the Far East, which they tried to bypass Lake Baikal and harass Ulan-Ude and other places.

For the provocation of the Russians, the Feng army resolutely fought back, Zhang Tingshu commanded the armored troops, prepared for the battle, and gave the Russian cavalry a very large number of casualties.

At the beginning of August, Molotov was very arrogant, insisting on his point of view, not only unwilling to take a step back, but even threatening to withdraw from the negotiations.

The reason why Molotov was so excited was also very simple, the Russians had won a series of victories in Poland, and the main forces of the Russian army had formed a defensive posture against Warsaw, and it seemed that victory was in sight.

However, on 16 August, the Polish army under the command of Pilsudski successfully broke through the weak position of the Russian army, frantically advanced 45 kilometers, and successfully cut off the Russian army's logistical supply line. Even the Poles did not expect that victory would come so easily. On the Russian side, about 10,000 were killed, 500 missing, 10,000 wounded and 66,000 captured, while the Polish army had about 4,500 killed, 10,000 missing and 22,000 wounded.

Tukhachevsky, Russia's best commander, tasted the bitter fruits of this battle, the defeat of the city of Warsaw, and the defeat in the Far East, the Russians lost nearly 200,000 troops, which was more than half of the entire Russian army.

With such heavy losses, the Russians not only failed to mobilize more troops to the Far East, but even faced a life-and-death test due to the serious emptiness of the European region. If the Polish army, with the support of Britain and France, took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the Russian hinterland, Russia was in danger of collapse.

At this time, Stalin put forward his proposal at the right time, to sign a contract with China in the Far East as soon as possible, to redeem Budyonny and others, so that they could quickly organize a force to defend the security of Russia.

This proposal was accepted by the Russian leadership, and Molotov's arrogance could only be restrained, and he honestly sat down at the front of the negotiating table, having given up the unrealistic illusion of a complete withdrawal of Feng's army from the Far East.

China and Russia were negotiating, and Britain, the United States, and France saw that they could not provoke a war, and they also changed their tactics, and the three countries turned to support the Far Eastern Empire.

The envoys of the three countries jointly approached Zhang Tinglan and demanded that the Far Eastern Empire be retained as a buffer zone between China and Russia, and neither side would allow the annexation of the country.

The Russians were well aware that they could no longer drive the Chinese shili out of the Far East, and therefore did not want to see China expand rapidly, so they also agreed with the proposal to reserve a buffer zone between China and Russia.

The conditions talked about this, and it was almost time for a showdown, although Zhang Tinglan had the intention to directly annex the Far East, but also took into account the opposition of the great powers, especially the lack of strength of the Feng army, so he could only retreat to the second.

However, Zhang Tinglan also demanded that the Far Eastern Empire must be protected by the Feng army, and that China would have special rights in the Far Eastern lands. Including immigration, excursions, mine reclamation, investment in factories, etc., in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to turn the Far East into a colony of the Feng army.

In order to reduce the opposition of the great powers, Zhang Tinglan proposed to open up investment in the Far East to the United States and Britain, but the great powers were not satisfied, believing that the Feng army had gained too much. However, after all, this battle was won by the Feng army, and they deserved to enjoy the fruits of victory, so they had no way to oppose it.

After more than two months of fierce confrontation, China and Russia finally reached a peace agreement at the end of August. The Far Eastern Republic was annexed by the Far Eastern Empire, which extended from Lake Baikal to the Pacific coast with a total area of 1.5 million square kilometers.

The Far Eastern Empire was protected by Chinese troops, and as a buffer zone between China and Russia, both countries were to guarantee the sovereignty of the Far Eastern Empire and not seek to annex the country.

After the conditions were met, the Feng army returned Budyonny and other prisoners to Russia, but in the process of returning, the Feng army played another trick, and did not return them all at once, but adopted the method of repatriation in batches, which was the situation of Russia's performance of the contract, and then returned these prisoners.

In any case, the war in the Far East has finally come to an end, and the Feng army has become a well-deserved victor. It's just that this winner has to face greater challenges, and the burden on Zhang Tinglan's shoulders has not eased at all.

First of all, the Far East has gone through wars and turmoil, and the population has suffered extremely serious losses, and the total population is now just over 600,000.

Therefore, it is necessary to emigrate to the Far East in large numbers to fill the vacancy, and according to Zhang Tinglan's Jihua, within three to five years, the Chinese should gain a demographic advantage in the Far East and prepare for a real and complete annexation in the future. Although the contract stipulates that the annexation of the Far Eastern Empire is not allowed, whoever believes in the contract is a complete fool.

In addition to the Far East, the three eastern provinces have also ushered in a new period of development opportunities, talents and funds have all poured in, Fengjun has also digested some key jishu from Germany, the output of industrial products has grown exponentially, and the level of jishu has also been improved.

Several responsible persons of the main officer enterprises also put a new set of armament development outlines in front of Zhang Tinglan, waiting for his signature. (To be continued......)
