"It's really unexpected, Xia Han actually got in touch with the commander-in-chief of the German army, and suddenly opened the door to cooperation with Germany, which can be called the first achievement, and it must be rewarded." Yang Yuting said with a smile.

Zhang Tinglan is also very happy, in the past, it was a one-shot deal to mess with a little machine, but once a long-term cooperative relationship is established, the benefits that can be obtained will be endless.

Throughout modern history, most of the good things that China can get are from Germany, such as the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan warships, the Hanyang Iron Works, the Gongxian Arsenal, and later the famous German armorers. In addition, Germany once established a science and engineering university in Qingdao, which is unique among other powers.

Church schools in the United Kingdom and the United States teach liberal arts, medicine, law, and the like, which can be regarded as comprehensive universities. The reason for this is not difficult to understand, the Anglo-Saxons such as Britain and the United States have done too many things to cut off their children and grandchildren, and they are very taboo about the rising countries to embark on the road of industrialization, so they do everything possible to restrict them, which has become even more severe in later generations.

As for the Germans, the moral burden is not heavy, so more good things can be offered. Especially after the end of World War I, Germany lost Jiaozhou Bay, but instead removed the Zuihou obstacle to Sino-German cooperation.

"After the defeat of the Germans, they were not reconciled, this time Seckert offered to engage in jishu exchanges with us, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was to play with one hand to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul, transfer some military industry to Mukden, use the land of the three eastern provinces, and keep the new jishu. Validate new weapons, but also get supplies from China to help them get out of the predicament and even rearmament. ”

"To put it bluntly, the Germans must be planning this wishful thinking, but what should we do?"

"Of course I can't ask for it!" Zhang Tinglan Hahadaxiao said: "Germany wants to use us. In the same way, we can also learn from German jishu, and even directly tap German talents, which is a win-win cooperation. However, when cooperating, we must keep our eyes open, learn real skills from the Germans, and be better than the blue. ”

China and Germany are separated by half a shijie, do not border, and have no entanglement of colonial interests, so they are the most ideal partners to cooperate, and in history Germany even exported a large number of jishu to the Soviet Union. Including submarines, planes, tanks, and more. It was precisely by relying on these jishu that the Soviet Union quickly completed industrialization and established a strong industrial system.

If China can get jishu assistance from Germany. If the industrial system is established, it will not be so miserable to fight against small Japan. It has to be said that the Chinese rulers at that time were short-sighted to the extreme.

Now the Feng army has basically achieved independent status. In addition, it has a certain industrial base, and it is far away in East Asia, so it has no serious conflict with Germany, and has all the conditions to obtain German jishu.

"I think the cooperation with Germany can be divided into three aspects, the first is the exchange of jishu equipment, and we want to obtain various machines from Germany that are urgently needed jishu. improve the industries of the three eastern provinces and build a complete industrial system; The second is the exchange of capital, which can allow German businessmen to invest in industries and develop resources in the Northeast. At the same time, we also want to invest in Germany and acquire some promising small and medium-sized enterprises; The third level is personnel exchanges, Germany can send their soldiers, Jishu workers to test new weapons, learn new tactics, test new technology, we also have to send a large number of students to Germany, it is best to introduce the German vocational education system into Mukden, for us to train enough workers. ”

Germany has been the most influential country on the European continent after two major wars, and has a lot to do with their well-developed vocational education. In later generations, Chinese students often had poor grades and could not be admitted to universities before going to technical schools.

Among their peers in Germany, only 20 percent will enter university, and the other 80 percent will participate in vocational education and be trained as jishu workers.

Zhang Tinglan has also experienced it personally, on the one hand, there is a surplus of college students, and there is no suitable job at all, on the other hand, the factory is in urgent need of jishu workers, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is the misplacement of talent training. In addition to civil servants, lawyers, journalists, doctors, and senior management, undergraduates who come out of universities are also engaged in research industries, and are basically high-end talents.

As a result, a large number of unsuitable people have come in, and in addition to lowering the level of university education, it can only lead to severe unemployment.

Since the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, China's education as a whole has gone in the wrong direction, cultivating a large number of masters and scholars who do not do practical things, and there are almost no people who can really do practical things.

Of course, the society also needs some scholars, but if there is no solid low-level talent as support, these high-end talents will not be able to do anything practical at all, and as a result, they have become slippery and become literary thieves who rely on coquettishness.

Zhang Tinglan proposed to introduce the German vocational education system to train industrial workers, which was also supported by Yang Yuting and others.

"To put it mildly, these three points you put forward are the principles for us to negotiate with the Germans, and the specific projects should be determined as soon as possible, and the sooner they are implemented, the better it will be for us to enhance our strength."

"Well, let's let Gu Weijun go to Germany in person, we show enough sincerity and must strive to reach a cooperation agreement."

Cooperation with Germany is not a trivial matter, involving all aspects, Zhang Tinglan invited Gu Weijun and Wang Yongjiang and others over, and everyone discussed it carefully.

"To put it mildly, we can also refine the cooperation, for example, the export of mineral products can be a separate item, the three eastern provinces have bumper harvests year after year, and there is a large amount of grain in the warehouse, which is simply exported to Germany in exchange for machinery and equipment." Wang Yongjiang put forward his own ideas.

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "Governor Wang's idea is too good, Germany has a serious shortage of food after the war, coupled with the depreciation of the mark, it is impossible to import enough grain, and the people are complaining, if Fengtian can provide a batch of preferential grain." I will definitely be able to gain the friendship of Germany. ”

"Well, Minister Gu, when you visit Germany, you can promise to provide 50,000 tons of free grain and 200,000 tons of low-cost grain to Germany."

After discussing in Fengtian, Gu Weijun set off for Germany, although this time it was only a secret diplomatic action, but the two sides reached a spark jihua, opened the door to nearly 20 years of military exchanges between China and Germany, and completely let China enter the industrial age. At the same time, it also greatly enhanced Germany's war potential, making the war twenty years later even more ferocious and terrifying.

After setting up a line with Germany, Zhang Tinglan was also in a very good mood, and his main mind now was on the Guannei, and then negotiated an arms exchange agreement with Wu Peifu. By opening the gates for the goods of the three eastern provinces, the Feng army would be able to have a solid rear. You can also go north with confidence. It's a bit of a fight with the Russians.

Just when Zhang Tinglan was full of ambition, suddenly Feng Yongshuang and Chang Yinhuai came over together, and the two intelligence leaders went out together, which was definitely not a trivial matter.

"Marshal, after Kolchak's most elite divisions were annihilated by the Russian Red Army and lost tens of thousands of men. Kolchak was no longer able to gain a foothold in the Urals, and he was preparing to lead his men to retreat east. ”

When Zhang Tinglan heard the news, his brows furrowed, this guy Kolchak is simply a rice bucket. He has already transfused blood to Russia, and at the same time gave him a fake princess and asked him to order all parties, but he didn't expect that the time that Kolchak supported was about the same as in history, which is simply unreasonable!

In fact, Zhang Tinglan wronged Kolchak, in fact, Zhang Tinglan was also responsible for Kolchak's rout, he encouraged Ivanov to fight the Japanese in the Far East, as a result, the Trans-Siberian Railway came to a standstill, and the Japanese had no time to support Kolchak.

Although he had a princess who commanded the world, it also deepened the fear of the majority of the party, and as a result, the Red Army concentrated in Liliang and defeated Kolchak, forcing him to flee to the Far East.

"Don't care how he fails, our jihua will execute it now, the gold that Kolchak carried, as well as the talents of the various industries who follow them, must all be in our hands, and we will arrange it now."

"Yes!" Chang Yinhuai and Feng Yongshuang agreed in unison, they had already formulated a detailed jihua for Kolchak, and after the situation occurred, it would be enough to start it immediately.

After these two intelligence chiefs left, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly brought all the military and political officials under him over and briefed everyone on the situation.

"I thought that Kolchak would be able to hold out for a few months, but how did I know that it would fail so quickly, and the Feng army must pay attention to the northern front, and the whole army will immediately go north."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan looked at Wang Yongjiang, and then said: "Mr. Minyuan, all the affairs of Fengtian will be handed over to you, and you will also be fully responsible for the negotiations with Wu Peifu. ”

"Humble words, don't worry, things in the rear will definitely not go wrong, I will definitely do my best to ensure the supply of the front line."

Zhang Tinglan kept Wang Yongjiang and Zhu Qinglan in Fengtian, these two are literate and martial, plus the father Zhang Zuoxiang is in charge, there will definitely be no problems in the three eastern provinces.

In addition, Sun Anhu was appointed as the commander of the Mongolian Xinjiang Military Region, responsible for guarding Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan, Outer Mongolia and other places, these areas have just been restored, and reliable personnel must be guarded, Sun Anhu, who has followed Zhang's father and son for many years, is undoubtedly the most Haode choice, as for the others, they have to follow Zhang Tinglan to the north.

This time, the Feng army did come up with the most elite Liliang, among which the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Divisions of the Border Guards Army that had completed the reorganization all went out to fight, the 1st Artillery Division, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, the 2nd Artillery Brigade, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, the two independent artillery brigades, the tank brigade, the air force units, and the special operations troops all mobilized the northern front, with a total strength of more than 70,000 troops, all of which were the essence of the Feng army.

In addition, 200,000 civilians were also mobilized to help the Feng army carry war materials and build roads. The Jibong Railway and the Middle East Road are all busy, with more than 30 trains running every day, and a large number of people and materials are sent to the border areas of China and Russia, especially Hailanpao and other places.

After almost two years of operation by the Feng army, it has become like an iron barrel and unbreakable, Li Jinglin personally supervised the work, mobilized a large number of Russian laborers, and built four large artillery batteries and three airfields along the coast of about 100 kilometers along the Heilongjiang River.

On the periphery of Hailanpao and Jiangdong 64 Tun, dense fortifications were built, dense pillbox fortifications were established, underground tunnels were built, and even a large number of air-raid shelters were dug, and everything that could be thought of was done. Such a huge project also consumed a large number of Russian lives, and the dead were transported out of the concentration camp almost every day, and Li Jinglin, who was in charge of managing the concentration camp, was also given the title of bloody devil.

But all this is worth it, the Feng army finally has the strongest support point in the Far East, and Li Jinglin has made great contributions. After Zhang Tinglan arrived at Hailan Pao, he greatly appreciated Li Jinglin's work.

"Dashuai, just watching the Russians and the Japanese come and go in the past two years, the brothers have long had itchy hands, and the big guys all know that the land under our feet was originally ours, and it is very uncomfortable to watch the two robbers fighting in our land!"

"Well, now that the Feng army is almost ready, we also need enough liliang, we don't have to endure it, we also have to come forward to attack and get these lands back!" Zhang Tinglan slammed the table as she spoke, and the teapot and bowl on it kept shaking. (To be continued......)
