Chapter 480: Sit down and talk
Get a fake princess out to command the world, Kolchak is still a little reluctant, he has always prided himself as a loyal servant of the tsar, and he is still unwilling to do such an excessive thing, so he sits in a bunch and is silent.
Wang Tieshan glanced at this guy, and suddenly despised him a little in his heart, he used extraordinary means in extraordinary times, and he didn't even have this bit of courage, he deserved to be defeated by the majority party, if it weren't for the gold in his hand, Feng Jun wouldn't have taken care of this Adou who couldn't be helped.
"Your Excellency General, Tsar Bixia is extinct, you support a princess again, it is equivalent to continuing the glory of the Normanov family, except for the bloodline, there is no difference at all, Bixia will be at ease in heaven."
"However, a fake is a fake after all, even with the help of Felix, there is a possibility that it will be exposed, and once that happens, it will be completely finished!"
"Your worries are unfounded, this lady Sophia is also of noble origin, and she is also the playmate of Her Royal Highness the princess in her childhood, she is familiar with the Russian imperial palace, and knows all the habits of the princess, which she can imitate vividly."
"That's not going to work either!" Kolchak still shook his head: "The Bixia family was killed last year, and a year has passed, and suddenly a princess appeared, and it is difficult to be convincing without a suitable reason." ”
Wang Tieshan said with a smile: "It's just making up a story, what's the difficulty." In the Spring and Autumn Period of China, there was a story about the orphans of the Zhao family, a righteous man named Cheng Ying sacrificed his child in order to save a little blood and blood of the Zhao family. His Excellency the General can also portray a loyal minister, that is, Sophia's father, and exchange his daughter for a real princess. Then the princess wandered and wandered, found you again, and restored the country together. In this kind of troubled world, as long as someone is willing to believe it, can anyone still investigate the truth in detail? ”
Hearing Wang Tieshan's words, Kolchak finally thought about this matter carefully, the princess is just a tablet, a symbol of cohesion, in the case of continuous failures of Belarus, a princess is held, there are definitely a lot of people who are willing to believe it.
Kolchak slowly made up his mind, but he still looked at Wang Tieshan. With a little hesitation, he asked, "What do you want to get for me thinking so thoroughly?" ”
"It's very simple, you can declare on behalf of the Russian government to abolish all unequal treaties between China and Russia and give up all interests in China!"
"No way!" As soon as Kolchak heard this, he immediately jumped to his feet. Joke, if all unequal treaties are abandoned. It is tantamount to returning millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East to China. The Tsars of Russia for all generations, hundreds of years of business are going to come to naught, where is he willing.
"Your Excellency, you need China's help now, and you continue to occupy China's land, do you think it is appropriate? And once defeated. The whole of Russia is majoritarian, you can't get anything! ”
"No, absolutely not!" Kolchak still shook his head like a rattle, and said loudly: "If I agree to this condition." I am the sinner of Russia, and my subordinates will abandon me, you know, the Russians value the land the most, and I would rather die than abandon the precious territory. ”
The polar bear's greed went deep into the bone marrow, and by this time, Kolchak was still unwilling to give up the lands of the Far East. In this respect, he was far less decisive than the majority party, and if they could sign the harsh Peace of Brest and give up a large amount of European land in exchange for precious respite, Kolchak would be much more stubborn.
"Your Excellency General, since you are unwilling to renounce all treaties, then you can only break the bank, and you can take out a little money to reward us."
"The money is good, I agreed." Kolchak didn't expect Wang Tieshan to be so easy to speak, and he also knew very well that anything that could be settled with money was not a thing.
"I'm willing to give you three tons of gold, what do you think?"
Wang Tieshan sneered: "Your Excellency General, are you sending someone to ask for food?" ”
"That's ten tons, ten tons is already a lot, it can be exchanged for six or seven million dollars, and it can almost equip ten divisions."
"A princess is worth at least a hundred divisions, don't you think so?"
The muscles on Kolchak's face twitched for a while, and the other party was obviously more greedy than he imagined, and a little small profit could not satisfy the other party's appetite. However, although Kolchak had a lot of gold in his hands, he didn't want to take it out so easily.
"Your asking price is too high, I can't take out so much gold at all, ten tons is the limit, I can't afford a higher asking price anymore!"
Wang Tieshan smiled suddenly, and then said: "Ten tons is fine, but I hope that the two sides can sign an arms transaction contract." You first deposit a hundred tons of gold in Mukden Bank, and then we will pay you for the arms and weapons as needed. Anyway, you need to buy weapons, and the weapons of the Feng army are of the same standard as Russia, and our prices are more favorable than those of the United States and Britain, this is definitely a win-win cooperation, and Your Excellency the General will not refuse again, right? ”
Kolchak looked down and thought about it, then nodded with difficulty, and the two sides finally finalized the cooperation agreement, and a hundred tons of gold fell into the pockets of Fengjun.
"To put it mildly, how much gold did this Kolchak have, we asked for a hundred tons, and he actually took it out, I think this is just a small head, and the big head should still be in his hands." Wang Yongjiang said excitedly: "This gold is a good thing, it's best to squeeze Kolchak's pockets dry, and all the gold will be in our hands!" ”
"Mr. Min Yuan, you are also greedy enough, aren't you afraid that there will be more gold?"
"Of course not afraid, the more yellow and clear things the better. During this time, I am most worried about the safety of the ticket, the political situation is unstable, the financial turmoil, the ticket has begun to depreciate sharply, I am worried that the currency value is out of control, there will be a crisis! ”
"Mr. Min Yuan, we do need a lot of gold to stabilize the ticket, but in the long run, we should let the ticket gradually depreciate, so that it will be good for us."
When Wang Yongjiang heard this, his brows suddenly wrinkled: "Humble words, the currency value is strong and stable in order to maintain economic stability, you have to depreciate the vote, what kind of calculation is this?" ”
"Mr. Min Yuan. Our factory has been gradually established, has a considerable production capacity, the production of things, must be sold, in order to make the enterprise profit, the more sold, the more good for us, who do you think we should sell the goods to? ”
"Naturally, it's Kannai." Wang Yongjiang is also a smart person, and immediately blurted out, and then he also laughed: "The humble words reminded me again." Originally, our main trading partners were the Japanese, who bought the minerals from the three eastern provinces and then sold the industrial products. At this time, we were able to keep the currency stable, so that the Japanese could avoid depriving us of our agricultural products at low prices, and now our trading partners are about to change. It is necessary to carry out currency depreciation aimed at the entire market in the Guannai. It can increase the output of industrial products. It is just the right way to promote industrial development. ”
Zhang Tinglan also smiled: "That's right, I got a lot of jishu from Germany this time, as long as I digest it, the Northeast will have a primary industrial base, and we should compete with the powers for the Chinese market." As the saying goes, every time you grab a point of the market. If we take meat from the mouths of the great powers and eat them, we will be able to catch up with the great powers exponentially, and the gap between the two sides will become smaller and smaller until we catch up in an all-round way. ”
Wang Yongjiang couldn't stop nodding. He still admires Zhang Tinglan's acumen, the three eastern provinces are beginning to transform, from an agricultural society, rapidly to an industrial society, the two social forms, with completely different modes of operation. The agricultural era pays attention to accumulation, while the industrial age pays attention to operation, a kind of society pursues static, a kind of society pursues dynamic, it is indeed necessary to make some efforts, otherwise there is no way to adapt to this drastic change!
When he was talking, Yuan Jinkai suddenly came over, and as soon as he saw Yuan Jinkai, he said: "Humble words, Japanese Consul General Akajiri Massuke visited the assistant commander and wanted to talk to us." He said that Japanese Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida hoped to come to Fengjun on behalf of the Japanese Government to discuss the development of bilateral relations. ”
When Zhang Tinglan heard the news, he was also a little surprised, the foreign minister is an important member of the Japanese cabinet, his status is very noble, and he will not go abroad easily, but he is willing to come to Mukden to negotiate, which is very interesting.
Zhang Tinglan also hurriedly put down the work at hand and hurriedly came to Zhang Zuoxiang, the original marshal's mansion had been burned down, and the new marshal's mansion had not yet had time to be built, so Zhang Zuoxiang was just working in the original home, and after Zhang Tinglan came, he went directly to the main hall.
Akajiri Massuke had already left, Zhang Zuoxiang was thinking about it, and when he saw Zhang Tinglan coming, he hurriedly said: "Clumsy, what is the idea of the little devil, why do you suddenly want to negotiate, is there any conspiracy?" ”
"Dad, I'm not sure for a while, so I'd better find Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai, and let's discuss it together."
Soon Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai were called over, and Zhang Tinglan first asked Chang Yinhuai: "Director Chang, what information has been there recently that can force the Japanese to soften their attitude so much?" ”
Chang Yinhuai hurriedly said: "I was about to report it, there was trouble in the Far East, due to the atrocities of the Japanese were exposed, the Russian people were completely enraged, coupled with the agitation of the majority of the party, there were signs of a large-scale uprising in the entire Far East, not only ordinary people, but even the original White Russian army was also rebelled, and the fire was forming, and the Japanese were also anxious. ”
Yang Yuting also said on the side: "Humble words, according to the reconnaissance of the air force, we found that the Japanese troops in Liaoyang have withdrawn in large numbers, and it seems that they are preparing to concentrate on Liliang and want to deal with the Russians. ”
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he glanced at his father, and Zhang Zuoxiang said first: "Although we have Yuting's revenge and can't not be avenged, but as the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. ”
With Zhang Zuoxiang's approval, Zhang Tinglan is also a lot more relaxed, and he is indeed not as confrontational as Japan, and dancing on the tip of a knife is not a fun thing.
"Dad, then I think we'll talk to the Japanese, but we must let the Japanese cut the meat, otherwise don't want to get out easily."
Yang Yuting couldn't help but ask, "Humble words, what are you going to ask the Japanese?" ”
"First of all, it is the South Manchurian Railway, and it is difficult to get the entire railway back, but at least it is necessary to abolish the dependent territories and reduce the garrison, otherwise this railway is like a fish in the throat, and the threat is too great. The second point is that Japan will give up its economic privileges in the three eastern provinces, especially the treaty signed with the Beiyang government, which we will not recognize at all. The third point is to ensure that they will stop all espionage activities, and if the Feng army finds out again, they will be severely punished in accordance with Chinese law! ”
"These three are very critical, and they are properly handled, I think they can be achieved!" Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "Humble words, if you want to negotiate, you must have professional talents, and I have someone I want to recommend to you, and he guarantees that he can be competent for this mission." ”
"Mr. Min Yuan, what great talent have you discovered?"
"This person is Gu Weijun who fought against the great powers at the Paris Peace Conference, although we still failed at the peace conference, but Gu Weijun did not embarrass us, he returned to China not long ago, and went to Mukden on purpose, you happened to be absent, so you chatted with me for a long time, quick thinking, articulate and eloquent, definitely a first-class talent engaged in diplomacy."
When Zhang Tinglan heard that it was Gu Weijun who was recommended, he also nodded again and again, and said with great satisfaction: "With Gu Weijun here, the negotiation with Japan has increased by at least two percent!" (To be continued......)
