If you want to get back the equity smoothly, you have to divide some interests, Zhang Tinglan weighed it for a long time, and found Yang Yuting to discuss, Zuihou decided to purchase a batch of machines to strengthen the Fengtian Arsenal, and at the same time introduce a part of the Japanese technicians to enhance the Jishu level of the arsenal.

It is very dangerous to let the Japanese get in touch with military production, after all, Japan is the biggest imaginary enemy of Mukden, at the beginning of the construction of the factory, Zhang Tinglan tried his best to reject, but now the situation has changed, and the Mukden Arsenal actually has two places.

One is in Mukden, the other is in Fengcheng, the part of Mukden mainly cooperates with the United States and is responsible for the production of some parts, and Fengcheng's is the most important, there are Jishu talents and equipment from Russia, and they have begun to produce equipment such as pistols and grenades, and the gun production line that was recently obtained has also moved to Fengcheng.

It can be said that the Fengtian Arsenal is just a cover, Fengcheng is the key, Zhang Tinglan is ready to cooperate with Japan, put the Fengtian Arsenal in the open, and dispel the Japanese fear. In addition, it is possible to use this place to produce equipment that does not need to be kept secret, and the most important thing is to be able to use the Mukden Arsenal to train Jishu talents.

As long as the mechanic is mature, it will be sent to Fengcheng, in this way, it is equivalent to having two legs to walk, Fengcheng's arsenal takes the Russian route, and Fengtian takes the Japanese jishu route, although the jishu level of the two countries is not very good, but it also has merits, just to broaden the horizons of Chinese jishu personnel, and prepare for the formation of their own style in the future.

"Mr. Okita, we are going to expand the Mukden Arsenal to be able to produce rifles and carbines, and of course we hope to produce cannons, and on this matter, we hope to get the cooperation of the Japanese, and the loan of five million will be used to purchase machinery. Japanese engineers are employed. ”

As soon as he heard about the arsenal, his eyes suddenly lit up, in fact, the Japanese have been trying to figure out the details of the Mukden Arsenal, but the Mukden government is strictly guarded, and the Americans are involved, they have never had a chance, but now that Zhang Tinglan has mentioned it himself, he can't help but be very excited.

If they can intervene in the Mukden Arsenal, the Japanese will be able to control the military industry of the Fengtian Army, and they will not only be able to make huge profits. You can also understand the combat effectiveness of the Feng army through the evaluation of weapons, as long as you do this, don't look at how fierce Zhang Zuolin is, you can't escape the control of the Japanese.

He is still confident in this. After all, in the opinion of Okita, there is no jishu in China. There is no equipment. I don't know how to manage, and I have to rely on the Japanese, who will be the emperor of the arsenal in the future. Lost field is a thousand calculations will not know that Zhang Tinglan is fighting the idea of the Russians, and already has another choice, the Japanese equipment and jishu are just spare tires.

"In order to enhance the friendship with Zhang Sang, the imperial government can provide equipment and talents. But the Reich must own at least 40 percent of the shares in the arsenal, and the production of the arsenal must be managed by our own personnel, and the only way to purchase equipment in the future is to choose Japan. ”

Lost land, now learned, now sold. also put forward the request for shares, and also wanted to get the production management in hand, if he agreed to such a condition, the Fengtian Arsenal would definitely take the old road of history and become a toy in the hands of the Japanese, Zhang Tinglan would never agree.

"The issue of shares is not negotiable, the specific jishu problem can be handed over to Japan to be responsible, as for the macro management, we must obey our arrangement, and we will open the bidding for the purchase of equipment in the future, of course, under similar conditions, we will give priority to the purchase of Japanese machines."

Otian also shook his head: "You must understand that except for the Great Japanese Empire, no one will help you develop the military industry, and these conditions are already very favorable." ”

On the one hand, the three eastern provinces are all within the scope of the Japanese shili, and without their permission, it is difficult for the machinery of other countries to enter, and on the other hand, the great powers are not willing to allow the development of the rising countries, and the military equipment and heavy industrial equipment of the United States, Britain, France and other countries are strictly restricted.

Recently, the Mukden Arsenal is negotiating with the United States to introduce a production line for rifles and bullets, but the Americans are stuck very dead and only promise to provide two outdated bullet production lines.

Zhang Tinglan also saw through it, and in a short period of time, he didn't want to get more things from the United States, so he could only turn his head and seek skin with the Japanese. Fortunately, the Fengcheng Arsenal has been settled down and has a little foundation, even if the Fengtian Arsenal is exposed to the Japanese and the Japanese are involved, the Fengtian army still has enough way back.

Zhang Zuolin was also listening, he was also very clear about these things, and he was very helpless, and he could only compromise when necessary, so Lao Zhang said: "Mr. Losta, the shares can be given to you ten percent, and the machine can also be given priority to purchase yours, as for the management, it must be based on Fengtian, and your opinions can only be used as a reference, otherwise this arsenal is not your branch?" ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Zuolin's words, he also knew that this was Zuihou's bottom line, so he also nodded and said: "In this case, I will discuss with the country as soon as possible and strive for support." ”

"You have to move quickly, if you don't answer within two days, I will have to make my confession public and arrest the suspect." Saying that, Lao Zhang set his eyes on Kawashima Naniwa, and said coldly: "This guy is doing a lot of evil in Fengtian, I don't want to zaijian him!" ”

Oda also nodded, he had already intended to use Kawashima Naniwa as a scapegoat, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation. Kawashima Naniwa also knew that he had been completely abandoned, as if all the bones on his body had been removed in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground like mud.

Someone had already taken him down like a chicken, and no one would care about his fate anymore. Kihachiro Okura, who lost his land and lost his soul, left the Shuai Mansion, and Ota said to Okura: "Mr. Okura, the fault this time is yours, and you can't let the government bear the blame for you!" ”

Kihachiro Okura nodded reluctantly, and then said: "I am responsible for the loan of five million, and then it will be loaned to Zhang Zuolin in the name of the government." ”

Although Okura is rich and rivals the country, he can't stand such a loss, he has lost 2 million yuan for supporting the revolutionary party, and now he has lost 5 million, and he has also lost the controlling stake in the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company.

After they left, Zhang Tinglan and Lao Zhang were also discussing what to do next, Zhang Tinglan said: "Marshal, the development strategy of the arsenal needs to be adjusted, originally we blindly excluded the Japanese, but there are several harms in doing so, the first is to make the Japanese more jealous of us, they will increase the intensity of investigation, and sooner or later the smuggling between us and Russia will be exposed." The second is that the factory is going to carry out large-scale production after all, and now the scale is small, and it can still be hidden, but in the long run, it will definitely expand the scale and put it on the table. The third is that we need a lot of jishu, and working with Japanese people is both a risk and an opportunity, and we can learn from the Japanese jishu and experience. ”

Zhang Tinglan briefly introduced the reasons for cooperating with Japan, and then continued: "But cooperation with the Japanese must be strictly limited to the Mukden Arsenal, and they must not be allowed to get involved in other arsenals, otherwise our details will be clearly understood by Japan, and if there is any conflict with the Japanese, we will not have the slightest chance of winning." ”

Lao Zhang nodded, and then said: "Cooperating with the Japanese is playing tricks, whether we tricked them or they tricked us, it depends on the level of means." The maintenance plant will be left in Fengcheng for the time being, and the machinery and equipment from Russia will also be placed in Fengcheng in the future. ”

"Dashuai, Fengcheng is not a very haode choice, it is close to the Yalu River, and the transportation is inconvenient, I think in the long run, it is more suitable to be placed in Jilin, of course, the conditions allow, but also to move inward, in short, try to stay away from the Japanese, but also to ensure that the transportation is convenient, the raw materials are sufficient."

Lao Zhang heard that Zhang Tinglan actually asked to be placed in Jilin, and his heart was also moved, out of selfishness, Zhang Zuoxiang was the envoy of the East Side Road, and if the factory was placed in Fengcheng, it would be of great benefit to Zhang Tinglan.

But Zhang Tinglan was able to start from the overall situation, and did not think about these at all, but suggested that it be placed in Jilin, which made Lao Zhang very moved, Zhang Tinglan, a young man, is different from the old-school characters, there is not so much selfishness, it is for himself wholeheartedly, for the sake of the entire Fengjun, Lao Zhang is also very satisfied when he thinks of this.

"Don't be busy moving the maintenance plant to Jilin for the time being, I think it's better to move Chen Qiming's explosives workshop first, you just let them bear the name of a civilian explosives company, and then make adjustments in the future."

Zhang Tinglan also nodded, he knew that the Feng army was still in the period of rapid expansion, and the territory would continue to expand, and after taking the three eastern provinces, it would not be too late to make a comprehensive layout.

But one thing is for sure, the glory of the Fengtian Arsenal will definitely be replaced by other factories, after all, it has become an outcast in Lao Zhang's heart.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the lost field found Zhang Zuolin again, and the deal between the two sides was finally finalized, and Fengtian got the controlling stake in the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company, and the Japanese side also naturally intervened in the Fengtian Arsenal.

After getting the news, the happiest person was Kuang Rongguang, he excitedly found Zhang Tinglan, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice said excitedly: "Humble words, during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Japanese forcibly exploited the coal mine in Benxi, and the Qing court sent me to survey the coal mine and estimate the value, but when I arrived in Zuihou, I only got back half of the shares." Speaking of which is still controlled by the Japanese, I really didn't expect that you could take back the controlling stake, don't look at only one percent of the equity, with this thing, our right to speak in the factory will grow infinitely! ”

"Steel is the backbone of the country, no matter what, it must be controlled in hand." (To be continued......)
