Miki shifted the focus of support to Feng Delin, the shili of the 27th and 28th divisions were originally between the best, and if Feng Delin got strong reinforcements from Japan, he would definitely be Lao Zhang's fierce rival.

In order to divert the attention of the Japanese and at the same time prepare to consume Japan's financial resources, Zhang Tinglan and Fred jointly designed a jihua, allowing the Russian government to borrow money from Japan and purchase Japanese arms on the other. The Japanese military industrial complex will definitely go crazy with joy, and the First World War is almost a bottomless pit, frantically devouring all munitions, and at the same time bringing countless profits.

But these Japanese would never have imagined that the life of the dignified Tsarist Russia would be less than two years, and that the red regime would follow, and all loans would be decisively repaid.

Zhang Tinglan smiled and said to Fred: "I guess Japan will definitely get into the game, but you have to ask Japan to provide long-term loans as much as possible, preferably beyond Russia's affordability." ”

Fred nodded: "Zhang, it's not difficult, but I only have one question about this Jihua, even if Russia falls, the new regime will inherit the debts of the old regime, just like the Republic of China and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the power of various countries in China has not been reduced at all." If that happens, won't you be helping Japan expand its business interests, and that doesn't suit your style of doing things? ”

Zhang Tinglan glanced at Fred and said, "Old friend, do you understand the majority party's position?" ”

As soon as Fred heard these three words, his eyes immediately widened, and he said in surprise: "Zhang, you don't want the majority party to replace Tsarist Russia, let me tell you, it will be a Shijie disaster, they are a bunch of devils, they are the natural enemies of capital, you won't be so confused as to support the enemy, right?" ”

"Old friend, I admit that their ideas are extreme, but the situation in Russia is very difficult, and the more desperate it is, the more extreme it will accept. The Chinese pay attention to following the trend and going against the trend, and since the majority party is an irrepressible trend, we simply push the flames, support them, and disrupt Russia. ”

Fred also calmed down at this time, he knew Russia better than Zhang Tinglan, in fact, Russians have a self-destructive factor in their bones, and their artworks are generally dark and depressing. They will go crazy in a desperate situation, this is determined by culture, and the majority party may actually be able to take power.

As a Jew, Fred was very clear about the majority party's position, and he even read Das Kapital in its entirety, and although he hated its ideas, he had to say that it was a great work that exposed the evils of capital.

He stood up with great emotion, walked around twice, and then said: "Zhang, do you think that the majority party that believes in Capital will come to power, and then according to their political opinions, the loans of the Japanese will inevitably come to naught?" ”

"Almost!" In fact, the majority party relied on large French loans, which was one of the reasons for France's decline after World War I.

"Zhang, their claims are very extreme, didn't you think they would bite us back?"

"Old friends, even if they are a dog, they will bite the European powers first, what we want is to use this opportunity to strengthen our liliang as soon as possible to deal with this shijie who is in the midst of drastic changes!"

Fred fell silent, his mind racing for thought. Zhang Tinglan thought everything very clearly, Russia has become a red empire, Shili has increased unprecedentedly, and the threat to China has increased greatly. Supporting the majority party and turning Russia red as soon as possible seems to be a capital enemy, but it is not!

The most supportive of the Russian majority was Germany, and they urgently needed to get out of the situation of fighting on two fronts, which could not be changed. Supporting the majority in the Far East is aimed at making Russia's end more complete. At the same time, the majority party is not monolithic, and there will inevitably be conflicts between the majority parties supported by Germany and those supported by China, and their interests and demands will be different, which is tantamount to mixing sand within the majority party.

This is the so-called mystery of following the trend, Fred thought about it carefully, and said: "Zhang, what I originally thought of in Russia was just to take advantage of the chaos in the country to buy off the bureaucrats and obtain Russian resources. But you really have a lot more money than me, and you actually want to support the majority party and split Russia, I don't think your President Yuan Da has this idea, you are a complete little madman. ”

"I'm going to do even crazier things! When Division Commander Zhang ascends to the throne of Mukden, he can even help them train their soldiers, and then let them go and turn Russia upside down! ”

Fred was completely defeated by Zhang Tinglan's madness, but every Jewish banker is crazy, and it is not uncommon for them to pursue capital in the same madness, supporting the opposition, disrupting the order of a country, and then making huge profits.

In the past, it was all what a super consortium could do, Fred could only sigh, but now that he cooperated with Zhang Tinglan, he also had this kind of liliang, imagining the possible huge profits, his blood was boiling.

"Zhang, do you have a specific strategy?"

Zhang Tinglan thought for a moment and said, "The first step is to establish a strong trade network and figure out the current situation in Russia. The next step is to choose the right agents, and we need to consider both the majority side and the internal part of Tsarist Russia, and even the Russian minority. We don't have a lot of chips in our hands, so we have to wait for the right time, and only after the upheaval in Russia can we intervene properly! ”

Fred nodded, although Zhang Tinglan's proposition is crazy, but from a strategic point of view, it is very cautious and quite feasible, which also shows that Zhang Tinglan is still a rational person.

The two of them finalized this jihua, and Fred said with a smile: "Zhang, let's determine the layout in Russia in advance, so let's talk about how to deal with Japanese friends in future!" ”

"Rather than having wealth, I prefer to be wealthy, the former needs to work hard to earn it, while the latter uses other people's money to do things for myself. We can use Japanese loans to complete the layout in Russia. ”

"It's a very pithy statement, if you go to be a banker, the achievement is definitely even more amazing!"

The trap they set for the Japanese was not complicated, and Fred had already told the Russian high-ranking officials to first let out the news and prepare to expand arms imports, and then the Dosheng Bank, with its authority to manage approved arms imports, would report to the Russian government and suggest that Russia consider purchasing Japanese weapons.

All that remains is to wait for the Japanese to take the bait themselves, and the Japanese, who are blinded by the huge profits from weapons, will definitely try to facilitate this, and will also provide huge loans, and the money will fall into the pocket of Dosheng Bank.

Moreover, Fred and Zhang Tinglan also bought off the Russian elites, so it is likely that the weapons produced by Japan will not reach the hands of Russian soldiers at all, but will become the equipment of the Feng army. After the collapse of Russia, Japan lost both its property and property, while the Feng army ate meat and drank soup.

Using Japanese funds and weapons to turn around against the Japanese is simply the most refreshing thing in the world, Fred and Zhang Tinglan, two foxes, one big and one small, finalized the matter.

This kind of thing must be operated steadily and steadily, and no flaws can be exposed, so Fred and Zhang Tinglan are both silent for the time being.

Zhang Tinglan has a little leisure, but he also has a lot of things, first of all, the armed police corps has been fully formed, this is Zhang Tinglan's team, he must not relax, the armed police corps must go through the test of actual combat, the bandits around Fengtian have become the object of military training, of course, including North Korean refugees.

The armed police corps was divided into two parts, one was responsible for public security in Fengtian City, and the other was responsible for clearing up everywhere, and the two groups of people continued to rotate, and soon the armed police corps began to mature and was fully capable of a variety of tasks, and the merchants and people of Mukden also began to adapt to this well-equipped, well-groomed, and non-guilty law enforcement team, and the security of the entire Fengtian began to be greatly reversed.

In addition, the first batch of machines were shipped from Russia, and several factories had to be implemented, and Zhang Tinglan also personally participated in the construction and helped as much as possible.

The scale of the industrial trade should also be expanded, and with the opening of Russian trade, not only luxury goods, but also ordinary daily necessities will be smuggled in large quantities. Although the profit of ordinary goods is not high, the demand is huge, and many of them can be produced by themselves, so smuggling operations can also benefit Mukden's commerce.

Of course, the businessmen who can participate are all businessmen who have invested in the company, and they are connected with Zhang Tinglan's interests, so they can get this preferential treatment, these businessmen are also very happy, in the past, there were still people who doubted Zhang Tinglan's ability, and now they are all on the ground, and they are desperate to make a fortune together.

At the same time, the construction of the North Market has also entered the fast lane, due to the freezing in the winter in the Northeast, which seriously affects the outdoor construction, and can only carry out some indoor decoration. Therefore, Qiao Ruixuan arranged for workers to lay a good land foundation first, dig through the underground pipelines, and prepare materials. Before the freeze this year, it is estimated that only one-fifth of the project can be repaired, and the overall construction work will take two or three years.

Of course, this does not mean that the project is over, and it will be rebuilt and expanded in the future, and it is expected that the first batch of merchants will be able to enter next spring, which is already very amazing, Zhang Tinglan also expressed his satisfaction, and he also took the initiative to improve the treatment of workers, and also formulated the standard of workers' compensation.

Workers are injured in the construction, can be compensated, in the past workers work all the risks are their own responsibility, life and death, now Zhang Tinglan took the initiative to assume this part of the responsibility, the enthusiasm of the workers is unprecedentedly high, and the efficiency has improved a lot.

Wang Yongjiang, the nominal consultant, also came to check from time to time, he and Zhang Tinglan are getting more and more acquainted, and the two often argue about some issues, Wang Yongjiang is knowledgeable, Zhang Tinglan has wonderful opinions, Wang Yongjiang gradually put aside his prejudices, and he and Zhang Tinglan have become friends for the year.

Just when the work of all parties was progressing very smoothly, President Yuan Da of Beijing finally approved Zhang Xiluan's resignation request, and it was finally time for Zhang Xiluan, the old governor, to get out, and the throne of the governor of Fengtian was vacant, and who could become the new master of Fengtian became the focus of attention of all parties.

At this time, Yuan Shikai suddenly ordered Zhang Zuolin to go to Beijing to report on his work, and Lao Zhang was overjoyed, and the long-awaited opportunity finally came.
