As the saying goes, if you want to maintain the good situation of the ticket under the nose of the Japanese, you must have enough reserves, this time to attack Japanese bonds, Zhang Tinglan invested a total of more than 7 million yen, of which 3 million were seized, more than 2 million were borrowed from Daosheng Bank, and the rest was taken out of his own pocket.

Although he didn't make much, there were more than two million, a total of 10 million, and Zhang Tinglan had decided to exchange five million of them for gold, which would be stored in the official silver number, plus the previous three tons of gold, together as a reserve. If the Guanyin is a giant ship, this gold is the ballast stone, which can ensure that the ship will not capsize.

Then Zhang Tinglan took out another 2 million to purchase a batch of machines from the United States, which were mainly textile machines, generators, and some prospecting equipment. In addition, Zhang Tinglan reached a cooperation agreement with the Americans, the United States provided the machine, and the Fengtian Machinery Bureau produced the butt and magazine for the United States.

The United States has long been the largest arms depot of Britain and France, with full production capacity and a steady stream of arms. At this time, the labor force in the United States was very tight, and the cost was also very high, so Zhang Tinglan proposed to use the cheap labor and resources of Mukden to help the United States share some of the irrelevant things.

This proposal immediately aroused the interest of the United States, and the nature of capital is to pursue profits, so that Fengtian can share a part, not only to reduce pressure and reduce costs, but also to extend its tentacles to the northeast. The Americans did not fail to see the benefits, and they quickly chose the butt and magazine.

There is no difficulty in these two things, and even if they can do it, there are still 108,000 miles away from producing guns. And the Americans are also only tentative. If Mukden is worthy of support, the United States is even willing to support some more munitions factories to produce military tents. Military uniforms and other things are directly exported to Russia nearby.

Zhang Tinglan got some soup from the United States, not just for a little profit, but the most realistic consideration was to provide cover for the bullet production line. Don't look at Zhang Tinglan's bullet production line under the nose of Nan Daying, after a long time, it will be exposed, the Japanese nose is too smart.

Through cooperation with the United States, Zhang Tinglan was able to justifiably introduce a batch of American machines, set up a munitions factory, and then put the production line into it. Those robbed maintenance equipment can also be put in it, and it can be used openly, even if the Japanese see it, they can't say that it was robbed.

pulled the American shili, which made Zhang Tinglan have more choices. Also more comfortable at this time. Zhang Zuolin, who went to Fengtian and Jilin to suppress bandits, rushed back to Fengtian.

This is a month. Lao Zhang really worked hard, and everywhere the army went, all the cottages of all sizes were wiped out, and thousands of prisoners and bandits were killed. In addition, the focus was also on the Russian diaspora, those who have legal status are easy to handle, and those who do not. Lao Zhang was not polite, and he was all arrested.

There is a long border between China and Russia, especially in winter, when Heilongjiang freezes. It is very easy for the border people on both sides to step on the thick ice and get to the land of the other side.

Since Russia entered the First World War, the burden on the country has suddenly increased, conscription of troops and food, and increased taxes, and the life of the Russians has become more and more difficult. As a result, a large number of Russian illegal immigrants crossed the Heilongjiang River and went to the northeast to beg for a living.

After Lao Zhang led the army north, he focused on killing these Russian bandits, and he was not polite at all. And Yang Yuting is still giving Lao Zhang ideas on the side, and planting them from time to time.

Therefore, Lao Zhang reported to the press every once in a while that a certain amount of ammunition had been found in a bandit's den, and after verification, it was found that it had been robbed of the military column, and after a few days, a batch of 38 big gayer was found, which may have belonged to the Japanese soldiers who had been killed.

The Japanese also sent personnel to check, and found that what Lao Zhang said was indeed true, these things were all on the military column, and gradually the Japanese also believed that the military column might have been robbed by Russian bandits.

After the case, the object of the Japanese suspicion was actually the Russian government, and according to the Japanese careful thinking, it was the Russian government's army that robbed the military column after putting on makeup. As for the motive, maybe the Russians are poor and crazy, and if they grab it, they can save a lot of money on arms.

It's just that now Russia is Britain's most important ally, and Britain absolutely does not allow Japan to attack Russia, so the Japanese can only be angry with China and want to get enough benefits from China.

However, all kinds of evidence showed that it was indeed possible that the Russian bandits did it, and it had nothing to do with the Russian government, which made the Japanese so depressed that they vomited blood.

Zhang Zuolin's murder, so is Meng Enyuan in Jilin, Lao Yuan has sent orders several times, requiring Meng Enyuan to investigate thoroughly and find out the real culprit. After some tossing, Meng Enyuan found a secret manor of the Russians, and found some machines for printing banknotes, as well as a lot of counterfeit money, including rubles, yen, and stamps, auspicious stamps, and so on.

In addition, 100,000 yen of genuine currency was found, and the seals on it were all from the Zhengjin Bank, proving that this batch of yen was most likely on the list of robbed soldiers. The Japanese were also alarmed, and this was definitely a major discovery, and they immediately took part in the investigation.

The Japanese are much more attentive than Meng Enyuan, and they carefully turned this manor upside down. Inside the basement, a number of ashes from the burning of letters were found, and through the remaining papers, it was found that they were all letters in Russian.

At this moment, the Japanese were completely misled, and they immediately reported to the Kwantung Metropolitan Government and the Japanese Government that all signs were real: there was a powerful Russian opposition organization in the land of Northeast China, and these people were responsible for the previous uproar about the counterfeit money case.

They then robbed the Japanese of arms, first money, then guns, and these guys have reached the level of lawlessness. The Japanese government immediately contacted Tsarist Russia and informed the Russians of the situation.

Previously, the Russians were also suspicious of the real murderer, they knew that it must not have been done, and even the Russians thought that this was a bitter ploy directed and acted by Japan. The purpose is to take advantage of the fact that Russia has no time to look eastward to dominate the three eastern provinces, and the 21 articles some time ago are not the embodiment of this ambition.

Negotiations failed to achieve their goals, and as a result, the Japanese wanted to seize them by violent means. The result was the so-called carjacking. Russia and Japan are not good things, each with more insidious ideas, and both regard each other as real murderers.

Both of the robbers seldom considered the possibility of Chinese action, perhaps in their eyes, China was just a piece of fat, and they did not believe that the Chinese army could quickly destroy a squadron of Japanese soldiers, although they were despised, but it was a good thing for the Feng army.

The Tsarist government also did not expect that the Liliang of the opposition would be so strong, they had money and arms. What to do next can be figured out with your toes, so the Russians are also tossing in the Far East and in the area of Jilin, Heilongjiang.

The officials of the Far East have long been rotten, and there are many peasant uprisings everywhere, and people who are dissatisfied with the government. There are also a lot of chicken feathers, and the investigation began with chicken feathers. Russia has arrested a large number of political prisoners one after another.

No matter how the Russians toss. Lao Zhang's anti-bandit operation was still very effective, and at least he demonstrated the strong determination and ability of the Chinese army to rectify law and order, and Japan's demand for a large increase in troops in the three eastern provinces was bankrupt. In addition, the evidence found by Lao Zhang strongly proved that the murderer was a Russian bandit.

The United States and Britain and other countries are happy to see this result by abandoning China's responsibilities to the greatest extent possible, and at the same time avoiding direct confrontation between Japan and Russia, so these two countries have adjusted their positions. Japan was warned not to arbitrarily expand its interests in China, let alone to use the threat of force.

Both the United States and Britain are well versed in the principle of slapping a sweet date, in order to appease Japan. They promised to provide Japan with some loans and food to settle the rice riots in the country, and they were willing to expand the amount of arms purchases, and in particular, they helped to persuade the Russians to continue the arms trade between the two countries.

Things have reached this point where the possibility of Japan using force against China has basically disappeared. Yuan Shikai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally passed another level, but now, Lao Yuan has a clearer understanding of the sinister situation in the three eastern provinces.

Sandwiched between the two powers of Japan and Russia, the slightest wind and grass will cause chaos in the world, and in this kind of place, it is absolutely impossible to continue to use a rice bucket like Duan Zhigui.

Lao Yuan is reluctant in every way, and he must also focus on Zhang Zuolin, maybe only this guy with a beard can cope with various situations and keep the safety of the Northeast, but Lao Yuan is still unwilling.

At this time, Master Zhang returned to Fengtian with a body full of Zhengchen, Lao Zhang don't look at fighting outside these days, but he reads the newspaper every day, sends a telegram to Zhang Tinglan, understands the situation, as the commander of one side, Lao Zhang is actually under more pressure than Zhang Tinglan.

In the first few days, Lao Zhang could barely sleep, his mouth was full of foam, and his eyes were red all the time. Even Yang Yuting is no exception, although Zhang Tinglan swears that he can turn the tide, disrupt the Japanese government, and ease the pressure on China.

But Zhang Zuolin really has no bottom in his heart, after all, in their opinion, Zhang Tinglan is more disparity than ants and elephants compared with Japan, and it is not proportional at all. It's just that there is no other way but to let Zhang Tinglan toss, and a dead horse is a live horse doctor.

If there is a little hope, we must strive for it with all our might, and we must not watch Japan move troops to the northeast on a large scale and turn this fertile black land into their colony. As a result, in just one month, the thriving Japan was beaten back to its prototype, and the whole country was plunged into chaos.

After getting the news of the rice riot in Japan, Zhang Zuolin's eyes almost fell out, and Yang Yuting was also shocked inexplicably, such a powerful Japan was calculated by a young man less than twenty years old, and he directly ripped off his underwear.

What a stratagem! What a calculation!

Yang Yuting prides himself on being resourceful and decisive, but compared to Zhang Tinglan, who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, and played with Japan and Russia and other powers between applause, it is still too much worse, this little Zhuge is completely convinced, and even has a trace of fear, such a person can only be a friend, and must not be an enemy!

Lao Zhang also completely relaxed, cleaned up the Russian bandits with peace of mind, and then returned to Mukden with the victorious army, the Malaysian Golden Sword, and showed off his might. Lao Zhang did work hard this time, and Duan Zhigui even went out of the city to greet him.

Lao Zhang still looked extremely humble, respectful to Duan Zhigui, did not invite credit, and did not complain, and even took the initiative to give the credit to Duan Zhigui, saying that this was all due to Duan Zhigui's leadership, and His Royal Highness was also very satisfied.

However, Lao Zhang returned to the Marshal's Mansion, and immediately summoned his old brothers, and Zhang Tinglan was also called over, after this time, Zhang Tinglan's status in Lao Zhang's heart also rose sharply, becoming a real right-hand man.

"Tinglan, you've worked hard during this time, you've done such a big thing, I think you should also be given an official identity, you go to the independent brigade to be an acting head first, study for a while, and then you will be regularized!"

The other people present were a little red-eyed, and as soon as they came up, they gave the position of the head of the regiment, and they didn't surpass these people in the future, it's really terrifying!

"I disagree!" At this moment, a voice full of anger shouted. (To be continued......)
