In this era, the vast majority of people can't see the future clearly, and those few who can see clearly don't dare to bet easily, after all, this is not a child's play.

For Zhang Tinglan, there is no such trouble at all, he knows very well that in about two months, it will be the February Revolution in Russia, and then the huge Tsarist Russian Empire will completely turn red, if he does not take advantage of this golden opportunity to strengthen himself and strike at the enemy, Zhang Tinglan will waste the advantage of crossing.

"Old friend, as long as the Daosheng Bank is destroyed, the financial order of the entire Northeast will be reshuffled, and then the ticket will become the most important currency in the Northeast, and we will be able to enjoy the huge dividends brought by the currency issuance."

"Zhang, of course I know this, and as the war moves towards the stage of zuihou, the bank headquarters will soon send someone to check the accounts, and if I don't kill Daosheng Bank in advance, the bank will send me to the guillotine, there is no doubt about it, so I am more anxious than you. Now the only question is how to convince them, knowing that the Russian dilemma headquarters also knows very well that they will definitely not bet too much leverage on the Russians. ”

"You look at this thing first." Zhang Tinglan took out a document from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Fred, he took it and looked at it carefully, and it was written on it with an overview of Siberian resources.

Scrolling down, the above list is a variety of rich resources in the Russian Far East, including coal, iron ore, gold, oil, natural gas, non-ferrous metals, etc., innumerable, each of which is an out-and-out strategic resource, but the number is amazing.

"Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

"If you use these resources as collateral, how about taking out a loan from Daosheng Bank. Will the headquarters agree? ”

The Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank was jointly established by Russia and France, the main purpose was to colonize and plunder China, in which Russia occupies a dominant position, and enjoys the privileges of coinage, loans, taxation, road construction, mining and so on in China, so far, the total amount of loans in China exceeds 100 million taels of silver, and the capital is quite abundant.

"The Dowson Bank is controlled by Russia, and in order for the Russian government to provide loans to ensure that they can continue the war, I think the Dowson Bank will also agree. But can you be sure that these lists are correct, in my opinion, the Far East is an abandoned land with no resources in it! ”

"Old friend, you're completely wrong. This list of mine is a compilation of the results of the last 10 years of Russian expert investigations. Many experts assert. Bounded by the Ural Mountains and stretching to the east, there are a staggering amount of mineral resources buried underneath, the amount of which is almost incalculable. ”

Fred knew Zhang Tinglan's ability very well, since he was so sure. Most of these resources really exist, he lowered his head and thought about it, and then said, "Zhang, this kind of big project is very troublesome. It is normal for a year and a half to need detailed verification, and it is normal for zuihou to finalize the amount of the loan. ”

"It's been a bit long." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "So I'm going to leak this news to the Japanese and let them act, with such a competitor, Daosheng Bank will definitely not dare to delay!" ”

For Japan, an island country, resource bottlenecks have always been a huge nightmare, especially oil, the Japanese have a huge navy, but the United States and Britain are not very worried, the reason is that Japan does not have enough oil supply, as long as the United States and Britain cut off the oil supply, the fleet will immediately become a pile of useless scrap metal, and Japan will not be able to get enough oil from China.

If the Japanese had known that there were a large number of potential oil resources in the Far East, they would have gone crazy, and at present there was also a huge arms trade between Japan and Russia, and they had also provided loans to Russia.

Moreover, Zhang Tinglan also bought off Felix, and it would not be a problem for that guy to dare to sell factories, sell arms, and sell a little natural resources.

"Old friends, as long as we operate properly, the Japanese side and the headquarters of Dosheng Bank, will agree to take out a large amount of loans, as long as these two are hooked, we will win!"

As long as there are good things, Zhang Tinglan will definitely not forget Japan, in fact, he is throwing out this list of resources now, but also to make the Japanese more interested in the Far East, and Japan really provided loans to Russia, and used the resources of the Far East as collateral, then after the outbreak of the Russian Civil War, the Japanese will definitely go crazy, and when the time comes to interfere with Russia, the Japanese will not be able to contribute.

Whether it is a little devil or a big nose, the more they die, the less pressure they will put on the Northeast, and it is best for them to become enemies of life and death, knocking each other to the death, and the Northeast will have a valuable period of strategic opportunity, as long as there are a few years, the military industrial system in the Northeast will be established, and then there will be no need to be afraid of the Japanese.

"Zhang, you can always bring surprises, this is a good idea, but neither of us is suitable for this matter, the last time because of the Slavic Bank matter, we were all wary of Japan. More than a month ago, I already contacted my American friends, and they will package an investor to come over, and when the time comes, you just wait to see the show! ”

"Can this be packaged too?"

"Of course, you must know that a good capitalist will never tell his secrets to others, let alone allow those poor people to find a real way to get rich, so there needs to be some people who come out and mislead the public with wrong ideas."

After listening to Fred's explanation, Zhang Tinglan also nodded secretly, no wonder there are so many unreliable economists in later generations, it turns out that their mission is just to fool others.

"Old friend, since you have been prepared, I believe that you will handle this matter perfectly, and you must wipe out the Japanese and Daosheng Bank!"

The pit of both sides is just the first step, the second step is to get the loan into their own hands, and then use the money to sweep the goods in Russia, as soon as he thinks of being able to use the Japanese money to help himself get machinery and equipment, Zhang Tinglan feels a burst of happiness, one eliminates the other, the development speed of the little devil slows down, the development speed of Fengtian increases, the gap between the two sides will soon narrow, and when the time comes, it will all depend on their own abilities.

Zhang Tinglan explained the whole Jihua clearly, and then said goodbye and left, and at this time, Zhang Zuoxiang had already found Zhang Zuolin, and the two reached a preliminary agreement on how to distribute the arms.

In fact, Zhang Zuolin didn't expect to get so many things, he was also frightened by the number, of course, the number he saw was actually cut by thirty percent, and the heavy artillery was cut by half, but Zhang Zuolin was also a little stunned.

How many years of hard work and management can't compare to the harvest of picking up rags now, which makes Zhang Zuolin extremely depressed, and sighed and said: "Fuchen, you said that over the years, we have spent a lot of money to buy weapons from the powers, are we buying a bunch of rags?" ”

"Needless to say, these foreigners are all shrewd and calculating to the extreme, and they won't take out the things they really care about!"

"It seems that everything has to be made by ourselves, we must develop military production, we make guns and cannons ourselves, we don't have to look at people's faces, and we don't have to suffer dumb losses, I said that this is very good, I thought of our front, now we can produce pistols and rifles, and sell these rifles that we get."

Zhang Zuolin said with a smile: "Zhang Xun took the initiative to come to the door some time ago and wanted us to provide some bullets and shells, but this guy ran to a poor place, and there was a big gap in the arms in his hand. ”

In the past, Zhang Xun was entrenched in Xuzhou, which was the intersection of the Jinpu line and the Longhai line, the north and south should rush, the material transportation was also convenient, and the financial resources were also abundant.

Zhang Zuolin and he both have the same surname, and there is also cooperation in the smuggling business, and Fengtian has become the first target.

"I have discussed it with Humble Yan, and I think that our arms are mainly sold to the northwest, and we can't be too dark for each gun, at least a hundred oceans, bullets or something."

"Fu Chen, you are good at everything, but you are too kind, the price of a rifle is at least one hundred and fifty oceans, as for Zhang Xun, we can give him a discount, in short, it cannot be less than one hundred and twenty oceans!"

Zhang Zuoxiang understood that Zhang Zuolin Weishenme was the leader at this time, the reason was that this guy's heart was black enough, according to the exchange price of Fengjun, a rifle was only twenty or thirty catties of flour, and it was only one or two oceans, Zhang Zuoxiang asked for a hundred oceans, and he felt that his heart was black enough, but Lao Zhang added another twenty, as if he still gave Zhang Xun a big bargain, Zhang Zuoxiang also had to stretch out his thumb.

"Yuting, light weapons are easy to say, you can handle it, in addition, the performance of the Madsen machine gun is also good, although the ammunition is different from ours, the logistical pressure is greater, but it is also indispensable, all the troops are reequipped together, but this heavy artillery I recommend giving priority to equipping the Jilin direction."

"Fu Chen, this weapon is all clumsy and tossed, you handed over the big head to me to deal with, it's already very good, but the heavy artillery weapon is too important, it can be called our dependence, and Fengtian must also equip some."

Zhang Zuolin's attitude is very firm, if these big killers are simply equipped with Jilin, he will definitely not agree.

"Yuting, I have discussed it with Humble Yan, he means that he wants to form a road protection army, the Russians are already rotten, and there may be problems at any time, we must be ready to take over the East Road, so he hopes to leave the most powerful force in the direction of Jilin in case of accidents!"

"Makes sense, too." Zhang Zuolin lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "Since Humble Yan has this idea, then don't limit yourself to Jilin or Mukden, let's form a new army, and say to the outside world that it is the bandit army of the three eastern provinces, which is actually the road protection army.
