In Lao Yuan's era, when borrowing from the West, he asked his grandfather to sue his grandmother, so that the foreign powers took advantage of it, and borrowed 10 million, but only 6 or 7 million really got it.

Now it is the turn of the Feng army, the great powers actually took the initiative to provide loans, subscribe to bonds, the treatment can be described as a world of difference, of course, this is also earned by the strength of the Feng army, otherwise the great powers will not be kind to do good deeds. Zhang Tinglan calculated a little in his heart, according to the current exchange rate, the funds provided by the United States and Britain are about 70 million oceans, which is not a small amount, and it is almost enough for the Feng army to pay for three months' military expenses.

However, Zhang Tinglan was obviously not satisfied, he not only wanted money, but also got jishu equipment, enriched the industrial system, and fought to limit the power of the foreign powers, especially economic privileges, and open the door to sales of goods from the northeast.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Thanks to the goodwill of the United States and Britain, with strong international support, China will certainly play a greater role in containing the majority party." However, the difficulties faced by the Feng army in the current war with the Russians are not only the shortage of funds, but also many problems, the most important of which is the lack of arms, oil, and large equipment, which has seriously affected the continuous combat capability of the Feng army. ”

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Klein and Eston couldn't help but glance at each other, they thought that the big cake thrown could attract Zhang Tinglan, but they didn't know that he didn't care, but continued to open his mouth, which was really a bit surprising.

However, after thinking about it, it is reasonable, and the decision to win over the Feng army has been made in China, and it is not impossible to spend a little more.

"Your Excellency, we can export a batch of rifles and artillery to China, and you can use the loan to purchase American arms at preferential prices."

British Minister Eston also smiled and said: "The British Empire's arms have always been quite sophisticated. If the Feng army can guarantee that these arms will be used against the Russians, we can consider selling some of them. ”

As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard the words of these two people, a wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart, what Meiying said soundly, who didn't know that their arms were all old goods stockpiled in World War I, and they also provided discounts in the name of it, to put it bluntly, they used Fengjun as a garbage recycling plant!

The Beiyang side may consider this condition, but the Feng army already has a systematic weapon system, and buying things from the United States and Britain can not only cause trouble. It's useless. And what Zhang Tinglan really wants is industrial jishu equipment, and then Fengjun produces it himself, at present, Fengjun's military products are very complete, and it is temporarily enough for the Russians, what is lacking is scale.

"Mr. Minister. Do you think that if the Feng army is still at the level of being made by all nations, we still have the ability to challenge the Russians? Not beat around the bush. We currently lack a large number of industrial equipment. To help us produce more arms and weapons, we are in great need of substantial assistance in this regard. ”

Zhang Tinglan directly broke it, hoping that they could provide industrial equipment, and the two ministers immediately looked at each other. They have been suppressing China's national industry, and they are very taboo about this huge international march towards the industrial age. The ruling layers of the United States and Britain know how much they have done to hurt nature and reason. Once China's development is out of control, it will also pose a huge threat to them.

In the face of Zhang Tinglan's naked industrial equipment proposal. Both countries looked very hesitant, Klein thought for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Zhang, the procurement of equipment, the need for installation, the need to train jishu workers, is a very long process, you China has a saying, it is called far water does not quench the thirst of the near, the battle is continuing, so it may be better to purchase some weapons that can be used immediately." ”

"Mr. Klein, there is also a saying in China, that people must have near-term worries if they have no foresight!" Yang Yuting said with a smile: "We are neighbors with Russia, and you also proposed to build a barrier to block the majority party, it is obvious that this barrier is not a matter of a while, and the enhancement of industrial capacity is precisely so that the Feng army can fight against Russia for a long time, and more haode perform its duties." ”

Yang Yuting's words were reasonable, and the two of them were questioned at once, and Aiston said after a while: "What equipment are you all going to procure?" ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled and took out a list in Chinese and English and sent it to them.

"This lists our main needs, including automobile plants, truck factories, chemical plants, shipyards, as well as a large number of mining equipment, drilling equipment for oil exploration, as well as supporting seamless steel pipe plants, machine maintenance plants, bearing plants, petrochemical plants and so on."

There are a total of more than 30 items, and just after reading the first few items, the faces of these two ministers changed, just kidding, if these jishu are given to the Fengjun, these factories are all established, plus the industrial base of the three eastern provinces, the Fengjun will suddenly become a small power with a complete industrial system. Moreover, the Feng army can easily integrate the domestic market, and the interests of the great powers in China may be abolished at any time.

It can be said that if you agree to this condition, you are simply digging your own grave! Eston's face turned red, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, your request is completely beyond what we can allow, and I suggest you make some more reasonable requests. ”

Eston categorically refused, and the American Minister Klein felt that it was a little rude to refuse directly, he shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "It is very expensive to develop industry, and the investment cycle is very long, if Fengjun needs similar products, we can directly provide finished products, high quality and low price, which is more advantageous than producing it ourselves!" ”

For Klein's flickering, Zhang Tinglan will not write and believe that although the amount of money to be invested in the initial stage of self-production is quite huge, and there will indeed be the problem of poor quality, but once the system is formed, it will be able to self-renew, continue to make progress, and sooner or later it will be able to produce more haode things.

Moreover, whether the industry is independent or not is a big matter involving whether or not the fate can be taken into his own hands, Zhang Tinglan will definitely not be ambiguous. But from the attitude of the United States and Britain, Zhang Tinglan can also see that it is impossible to get all the jishu.

"The two ministers have come from afar, and this is the front line of the war, so it's better to take a rest first, and the official business can be postponed for the time being."

The first meeting was terminated by Zhang Tinglan, and after sending off the two ministers, Yang Yuting and Jiang Baili sat together with Zhang Tinglan on the left and right. Jiang Baili said with a wry smile: "The United States and Britain are very jealous of China's industrial development, and it is indeed a little difficult to get these things from them. ”

Yang Yuting also sighed and said: "If you want to cooperate, you should be happy with the Germans, they not only provided equipment, but also helped us cultivate Jishu talents, and recently promised to send some teachers over to help them strengthen professional education." If the United States and Britain are not willing to give, we will cooperate with Germany, in short, the jishu equipment must be obtained! ”

Long before the war with the Russians, Zhang Tinglan determined the policy of building while fighting, just relying on the purchase of weapons, and after such a battle, he would definitely become a poor ghost. And there is no benefit to the improvement of strength, only by simultaneously enhancing industrial strength, taking advantage of the opportunity of war, to make up for the shortcomings of industry, in order to really bigger and stronger.

"Industry jishu can't just point at the Germans, and the introduction of things from the United States and Britain is also a pressure on Germany to make them come up with more haode things. As for how to bring the United States and Britain to their knees, the key is to show a stronger shili and prove that the security of the Far East cannot be separated from us. ”

Zhang Tinglan walked to the front of the map as he spoke, and pointed to the small city of Sherlovayagora near Borgia, which is separated by the Borzhnozine Mountain, a distance of about 20 kilometers.

After the Feng army occupied Borgia, the Russians had to retreat here, and Paul, who was in charge of assisting Borgia, also brought his men here, and is now stepping up defenses in the city to resist the attack of the Feng army.

"This place is too close to Borja, in order to ensure safety, we must take it immediately, and in addition, we must quickly occupy this place, demonstrate to the United States and Britain, and force them to show greater sincerity to buy us."

"Marshal, what if Britain and France don't give in?" Yang Yuting couldn't help asking.

"Then let's make peace with the Russians, as long as they return the Outer Northeast to China, we will withdraw from the land of the Russians, and the two sides will cease fighting."

Jiang Fangzhen hahadaxiao: "This method is good, the Russians also need to beat, let them be afraid of the army, in order to end the war in the Far East as soon as possible, we still have to focus on development!" ”

Yang Yuting also nodded: "Marshal, although Sherlova is a small city, it has mountains as a barrier, and it is not easy to conquer it quickly. ”

"Lingge, I'm going to experiment with a new tactic here, and if I can succeed, I'll have another magic weapon to win!" Zhang Tinglan smiled confidently: "We have to lead the trend of tactics, we can't follow the trend of the great powers, we have to use hearty victories to shock Shijie!" ”

Zhang Tinglan is going to experiment this time is lightning tactics, the reckless and vast field between China and Russia, very suitable for large-scale tank combat, at present, the Feng army's air liliang and armored liliang have a certain foundation, just should take out the test, try the real combat effect.

The second young master Zhang Tingshu is responsible for commanding the tank troops, since the beginning of the battle, the second young master has been waiting for Zhang Tinglan's orders, wanting to show his skills on the battlefield, but Zhang Tinglan has not given the order for a long time, which simply makes Zhang Tingshu and others crazy.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to Zhang Tinglan's order, Zhang Tingshu didn't say a word, immediately mobilized all the troops, a total of 60 brand-new tanks, 90 armored vehicles neatly lined up in front of him, and 150 trucks behind him, responsible for transporting supplies, which the Feng army had just purchased from Germany.

"Brothers, it's time to show off your skills, get in the car and go!" (To be continued......)
