Chapter 399: The Sinister of Americans

The quality of the Mosina gan rifle produced in the United States is better than that of the original Russian goods, and it is entirely possible to get the American production line to Mukden, and by the way, we can learn from the American jishu and management experience, and then we can introduce some supporting factories, as long as Jihua goes smoothly, it is entirely possible to increase the production capacity of the Fengtian Arsenal tenfold.

"Humble words, only you can think of such a haode method, but I am ready to receive the equipment, I must do it!"

"Pottery director, equipment is just a tool, and talent is the user of the tool, in addition to excavating talents, but also to come up with a new management system, to give full play to everyone's ability, otherwise even if there is haode equipment, we can not produce high-end products."

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, Tao Jiping was also thoughtful, and there seemed to be a hint of criticism in his words, and he instinctively felt that there might be some major moves.

"Humble words, if you have any opinions, you might as well point out one or two directly, and we will definitely correct them."

Zhang Tinglan smiled and nodded: "I can't talk about any guidance, I just hope to explore a new factory management method, our foundation is thin, one dollar has to be broken into two dollars to spend, and each machine must play the most haode effect." Not only arsenals, but also steel mills, metallurgical plants, machine manufacturing plants and other heavy industry enterprises should be included, just our factory has just started, has not yet formed a management system, now to do this work is just right. ”

Any factory should be divided into two levels of hardware and software, with the machine is the most basic, how to play the maximum production capacity, but also have a scientific method, good management, an enterprise can soar, bad management, an enterprise may be finished.

In later generations, there were also a large number of works on management. Zhang Tinglan has long been thinking about it, want to come up with a set of universally applicable management plan, now the factories have been put into production, if the management methods are used well, the production capacity is increased by half, or even doubled is not hopeless, and the economic benefits can also be greatly improved, as long as this set of software is done, it will definitely be able to make Fengtian's industrial development into the fast lane.

"Director of the pottery factory, you are first responsible for summarizing the gains and losses of a factory's management. In the next few days, the heads of other arsenals and steel enterprises will also come to Mukden to discuss with us. ”

As soon as Tao Jiping saw Zhang Tinglan's attitude, he guessed that he was likely to have a case and summoned everyone over. It's just a matter of deployment, but he also has to think of his own. Otherwise, he will only be looked down upon by Zhang Tinglan. Therefore, Tao Jiping also immediately began to prepare.

Zhang Tinglan left the Fengtian Arsenal and rushed directly to the Shuaifu, and Lao Zhang had just finished talking with the US Consul General Becker.

"To put it mildly, the Americans are willing to stand on our side, and with their support, the Japanese will never dare to do it. Looks like we'll be able to sit back and relax. ”

"Dashuai, if you want me to say that we can't relax yet, Americans are not good men and women, and they also have their own wishful thinking. The United States needs to rush to the front line and resist the Russians. But they also know that the Feng army also needs the United States to balance the pressure of the Japanese, and this is a cooperative relationship, in which whoever eats more and who eats less, and even acts as a shield for the dead, there is too much learning in this. ”

After all, Zhang Zuolin is still an old-fashioned figure, and Lao Zhang can't grasp these dirty thoughts of the great powers, so after hearing that the Americans are willing to come forward, Lao Zhang is very happy, just to be able to pull the Americans in and balance Japan. But now that Zhang Tinglan reminded him, Lao Zhang couldn't help but have an extra heart.

He sat on the Taishi chair, touched his bald head, thought for a long time, and then asked, "Humble words, tell me what you think." ”

"Dashuai, I don't have any ideas, I just think it's a little strange, according to the temper of the great powers, they can't afford to be profitable, but this time the Americans offered to help us resist the pressure, I think it's very abnormal."

Lao Zhang thought about it for a long time, and his brain hurt when he thought about it, but he still didn't find the key to the problem, so he could only say: "Humble words, what do you think should be done?" ”

Zhang Tinglan's eyes rolled a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Dashuai, how about we invite Akajiri Massuke over for a meal, drink some wine, and communicate our feelings?" ”

"Humble words, don't you have a fever, are you, what kind of Japanese are you looking for at this time?" Lao Zhang looked at Zhang Tinglan like a monster, it stands to reason that this is the most disgusted with the Japanese, and the Japanese can be said to spare no effort, why is it suddenly abnormal now, and he has to communicate with the Japanese, it is really unexpected.

"Dashuai, we haven't completely torn our faces with the Japanese, so it's easy to discuss everything!"

Lao Zhang didn't understand what medicine was sold in Zhang Tinglan's gourd, but he didn't refuse, and hurriedly called Yu Chonghan over and asked him to ask Akajiri Massuke.

Yu Chonghan was originally recommended by the Japanese, and in the Fengjun system, his position was very awkward, and he could only play the role of an errand runner, and after he got instructions, he hurriedly went to the Japanese Consulate General.

In the Consulate General at this time, Yasuo Kimura and Yoshitoshi Shimoda happened to be sitting opposite Akajiri Massuke, and all three of them had sad faces.

"Your Excellency Consul General, Feng Zhangzheng is colluding with the United States and Europe and other countries to get rid of the control of the imperial empire is very clear, won't the imperial government take effective measures?"

Akajiri Massuke's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "Of course, the imperial government must take measures, but it must also be carefully planned, and it cannot be rashly moved. Moreover, Russia has become a mess, and the majority party is also a huge threat to the empire, so it is really unwise to focus on Bong Chang at this time. ”

"Unwise?" Shimoda Yoshi's eyes immediately widened: "Now the Americans are going to swallow our oil extraction industry, and they have to pull the Feng army into their arms, if we don't take action, the empire's interests in South Manchuria will collapse, and by that time, it will be too late." ”

Kimura Yasuo also said on the side: "I also suggest taking immediate action, it is best to assassinate Zhang Zuolin, in addition, I heard that Zhang Tinglan also has a special status in the Feng army, he is a difficult character, just kill him too!" Between the words, Kimura Yasuo's face was full of hideous colors, oil extraction is his lifeblood, and now that he can't protect it, how can he not go crazy.

At this time. Yu Chonghan suddenly came to visit, he came to the living room, and hurriedly said to Akajiri Massuke: "Mr. Consul General, Zhang Zuolin wants to invite you over to the banquet. ”

"Oh?" Akajiri Massuke looked puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What are his plans?" ”

"I don't know, Fengtian is very strict against me, and it is difficult to know any useful news, but this time Zhang Zuolin is very solemn, I just want to make peace with the Japanese Empire!"

Akajiri Massuke narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "No matter what. I'm going to see what kind of medicine this little man sells in the gourd! ”

Yu Chonghan respectfully followed Akajiri Massuke back to the Shuai Mansion, at this time Lao Zhang and Zhang Tinglan were standing at the outer door of the Shuai Mansion waiting, as soon as they saw Akajiri Massuke coming, Lao Zhang hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Consul General. Zhang Mo is waiting for you, we are also old friends. The narrative is a narrative of friendship. ”

Akajiri Massuke couldn't understand Zhang Zuolin's enthusiasm either. I had to follow him into the Shuaifu, where cups and plates were listed in the living room, and Japanese sake was specially prepared.

Yu Chonghan played the role of a subordinate on the side, helping Akajiri Massuke pour a full glass of wine, and Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Mr. Consul General, the majority party in Russia is spreading right now. For us, this is a huge threat, and we should cooperate with each other to deal with it together. I don't know what you think? ”

"Does Fengjun still need the help of the imperial government, aren't you cooperating with the United States and Britain and other countries?"

"The majority party is a threat to the whole shijie." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "We naturally want to cooperate with the United States and Britain, but in the Far East, it is China and Japan that face the threat of the majority party, and the cooperation between us is more valuable and more important to us!" ”

When Akajiri Massuke heard this, he suddenly snorted coldly in his nose: "That's good, since you value the imperial government so much, then Weishenme is helping the Americans and forcing the empire to hand over the control of the oil extraction industry, I think you are double-faced, trying to fool the Japanese Empire!" ”

Akajiri Massuke slammed his glass on the table, his face full of unconcealable anger. Zhang Tinglan's brain turned so fast, as soon as she heard his words, she guessed in her heart at once, no wonder she always felt that something was abnormal, and the emotional Americans were also playing with intrigues!

Zhang Tinglan said quietly: "Mr. Consul General, regarding the issue of oil extraction, the Mukden government only wants to protect its own interests, and has absolutely no intention of colluding with the United States, let alone taking the initiative to harm Japan's interests. ”

"No damage?" Akajiri Massuke widened his eyes and said loudly: "The Americans have just issued us an ultimatum demanding that Nissin and Santai either hand over 80% of the shares or pay huge liquidated damages, isn't this your common conspiracy?" ”

In the face of Akajiri Masasuke's questioning, Zhang Tinglan did not have any fear, and he had further confirmed the wishful thinking of the Americans. This time, Zhang Tinglan attacked Japan's oil extraction industry, how could the Americans not know that this was a good opportunity, as a great power, how could they willingly help Feng to take the chestnuts from the arms, these Americans want to eat and wipe them out.

The Japanese were in a predicament, and in the face of the oppression of Mukden and Japan, the Americans swallowed the fat at a low price, and the Japanese had no choice but to vent their anger on Mukden.

Originally, it was agreed that the two sides should coordinate with each other, but now the Americans opened their mouths to the Japanese lions alone, and their thoughts of eating alone could not be clearer, and if the great powers really did not have a good thing, if they wanted to deal with them, they must beware of being sold at any time.

The Americans are letting Mukden carry the black cauldron! Zhang Tinglan secretly thought in his heart that fortunately he invited Akajiri Massuke, otherwise the war between Mukden and Japan would not be too far.

"Mr. Consul General, haven't you ever thought about the benefits of Mukden doing this? If there is no benefit, is it purely for the pleasure of the Americans? ”

When Akajiri Massuke heard this, he also frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, we are all taken advantage of by the Americans, who take advantage of this Sino-Japanese soybean dispute to swallow the oil mill in one gulp, and the benefits are taken away. Then let China and Japan become mortal enemies, and the Americans will be able to manipulate both sides, and the fishermen will benefit, and their sinister intentions could not be clearer! ”

Akajiri Massuke is also a very smart person, and when he heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he seemed to have guessed some clues, and he asked with a little doubt: "Is this really the case?" ”

"Of course, I have been thinking about ways to resolve differences these days, and now that the Americans are sticking in again, I think China and Japan must negotiate as soon as possible and reach an agreement, so that the Americans cannot succeed."

Akajiri Massuke also gradually accepted Zhang Tinglan's explanation, but his brows furrowed, and said: "It's useless to say it beautifully, whether you are willing to make concessions and help the Japanese side solve the difficulties, this is the key!" ”

"Mr. Consul General, I have a proposal that Mukden can provide you with enough soybeans immediately, but there is a premise, that is, the export power of soybean oil cannot be monopolized only by Japanese oil mills, and Mukden also has its own oil mills, and it must also have export rights!"
