Chen Tianhua said: "Of course. Speaking of which, we can be regarded as worthy of the mission, to the general jihua book so far has gone quite smoothly, but now we are facing a problem, that is, the shortage of manpower, with the work carried out more and more detailed, the people's expectations for us are getting higher and higher, and we must seriously complete some of the work that can be done or not. Especially when it comes to technology, there is a shortage of people. I have already told Sun Wen that he is drawing up a list of the second batch of people to come to Yulun Mountain, and we have all sent some letters to our friends overseas, asking them to come back to support us, and it is estimated that this group of people will be about 200 people, and they may arrive in March or April next year. ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "You have the final say on this kind of thing, this president can't just hang a title, then you don't look good and I won't be dishonored." ”

Chen Tianhua smiled and smiled very happily: "Actually, I don't think we can just expect people from outside to come back, tell you a word from the heart, now the relationship between Japan and Russia is very tense, once the battle starts, the traffic in the northeast will inevitably be blocked, whether Sun Wen can bring us the people to arrive, I really don't know the bottom of my heart." I think the top priority now is to build our own talent system, only when we have our own cows, can we not lack milk. ”

This is very true, Yang Xiaolin also thinks so in his heart, so his investment in Liang Qichao can be said to be sparing no blood. With orders from overseas and the needs of the Russians for the war, just as Chen Tianhua said, the base areas have made a small leap forward in the economy. Over time, the Russians have given him more and more orders. That arsenal now produces not only bullets, but also artillery shells.

A few days ago, Yang Xiaolin made a rough calculation, from June to the present, Yulushan has earned a total of more than 100,000 pounds of foreign exchange, which can be regarded as a haode beginning. He invested all this money in three aspects.

First of all, in terms of military construction, the military uniforms of the bandits in Yulun Mountain have been prepared, and they are placed in Yang Xiaolin's warehouse, just waiting for Yang Xiaolin to change their clothes after carrying the banner.

Also, with the collapse of the Russo-Japanese negotiations irreversible, the Russians finally decided to build an arsenal in Tonghua and have Yang Xiaolin pay for their machines. The Russian side sent Jishu personnel to guide the production, not only producing bullets, but also producing artillery shells, grenades, and even carrying out the maintenance and repair of rifles, which is why the Weishenme Japanese expressed extreme dissatisfaction with Yang Xiaolin.

On the first day that the motors of the arsenal sounded, Yang Xiaolin's secret site was attacked by unknown people, and five workers were killed in the attack. Although nothing was found on those men after they were killed, it was known where they came from.

At the same time as the production of ammunition for the Russians, the ammunition in the mountains has also become abundant, and without the use of semi-automatic rifles, the bandits now carry 30 rounds of ammunition per person, which they did not dare to hope for before.

Some of them have invested in Liang Qichao, in order to build their own talent system, and the preciousness of talents is not only precious in the 21st century. This aspect is completely different from military politics, as well as industry and science and technology, those are immediate, as long as you do it, you can see the results, but in the construction of the talent system, it is necessary to continuously invest funds, and it may take five or even ten years to see results.

At present, he has not yet implemented compulsory education, and there are only four or five thousand students in primary schools in the 11 counties in the base area, and no one can say how many of these four or five thousand can go to middle school, how many can go to university, and how many of them can be used after completing their studies.

The remaining part of the funds, Yang Xiaolin was put into Huang Bao's hands, which is also confidential, and Chen Tianhua does not know. …,

Zuihou Yang Xiaolin said to Chen Tianhua: "I know. ”

Chen Tianhua finished saying everything that needed to be said, and immediately began to ask Yang Xiaolin some things he wanted to know.

"Kobayashi, there are two things I want to answer from you, the first is what role do you intend to play in the war between Japan and Russia? Please tell me honestly, if you really want to make a little money from this war, please forgive me for disagreeing. ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled and looked at Chen Tianhua: "Weishenme? ”

Chen Tianhua said: "At least so far, you give me the feeling that this is the case. If Japan and Russia are fighting at sea, or in Korea, then there is nothing, the point is that their battlefield is on our land, and at this time as Chinese we cannot put everything on money! Development is very important, revolution is also important, but if even dignity is gone, what can we do with revolution! ”

Dignity is really important, more important than the revolution. Chen Tianhua's words, Yang Xiaolin likes to listen very much. He gently patted Chen Tianhua on the shoulder: "Xingtai, you and Yang Du are completely different in this regard, Yang Du's advocacy of gold and ironism, he believes that having money, guns and artillery, and having a good army is an important condition for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." ”

Chen Tianhua took it and said: "I don't think so, if you want to revive a nation, you must first revive the spirit of this nation!" There cannot be a war between aggressors on China's turf, and we cannot stand idly by! ”

Yang Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Chen Tianhua's words, he didn't say anything for a long time, Chen Tianhua walked in front of Yang Xiaolin, looked him in the eyes, and Yang Xiaolin said after a long time: "The agreement between us, you can't ask about military matters, but you talk about it here today, let's make it clear, and please tell Sun Wen what I said." Xingtai, have you passed those tunzi in Siping and Qingyuan? ”

Chen Tianhua nodded.

Yang Xiaolin then asked: "Then let me ask you, how do you feel when you see those Chinese tunzi with the Russian flag planted on them?" The flag was planted by the common people, and I will definitely let them take it down again! ”

Chen Tianhua was very excited when he heard this, he knew that it was not easy to get those ordinary people to take off the Russian flag at the gate of Tunzi, and the common people did not want to hang it, and it was for safety, and only by driving the Russian army away from him would they take off the Russian flag.

Yang Xiaolin touched his nose: "It's almost, I've made haode military uniforms now, and in a few days I will ask Mr. Zou Rong to design a military flag for me, and when the war between Japan and Russia starts, I will pull up the big flag." As I said, I won't let you down. ”

Chen Tianhua relieved his heart: "That's good, that's good." It's me who is too careful. ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Don't talk about this, brother, let's go, let's go and see those directors under you, these guys are very difficult to entangle, right?" ”

Speaking of this topic, Chen Tianhua had a stomach full of bitterness: "It's not an ordinary difficulty"

Yang Xiaolin knew that now the relationship between them and these old fortunes is still using each other, since they use each other, they will have the capital to embarrass themselves, and when their team grows and the capital in their hands is more, they will no longer be difficult.

When the militia meeting on the mountain was held, Yang Xiaolin received the news sent to him by Huang Bao, that is, on the first day of the militia competition, the Russians held a drinking party in Liaoyang.

At the reception, the Russians were unconcerned about the fact that the Japanese had already concentrated half a million troops. Commander Kulopatkin said that one Russian soldier could deal with three Japanese soldiers, and now the Russians can gather 400,000 troops in Manchuria in only half a month, which is already three times the number needed to defeat the Japanese army. …,

Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that what will happen in the future is not so much a war as a military walk. He assured the other officers that the Japanese would only add a little more trouble to the Russians than the Manchu army in the battle that was about to begin.

I don't know if it was to boost morale or for other reasons, Kulopatkin even let out wild words, saying that it would be more than enough to deal with 500,000 Japanese troops and 200,000 Russian troops. Although the upcoming war was just a "military walk", his ultimate goal was to land in Japan, crush its native forces, quell the resistance of the Japanese people, occupy its capital, and capture the Japanese emperor alive.

This wild remark really made people's blood boil, not to mention those Russian officers, and even Yang Xiaolin had an urge to help the Russian commander realize his long-cherished wish after seeing it. He doesn't know when the Russo-Japanese War began, but he still remembers some of the key battles.

Among them, the Japanese troops did not make any mistakes, and the Russians had a chance to defeat the Japanese, but they did not grasp it. With the benefit of hindsight, I should have some hope to help Lao Maozi land in Japan, defeat the Japanese native army, and capture the Japanese emperor alive, right? This really has a great temptation for Yang Xiaolin.

But Yang Xiaolin knew that once the Russians cleaned up the Japanese, he would be next. I can't even run away. Huang Bao has already explained later that the conversation between Commander Kulopatkin and Lieutenant General Kendrachev is about how to clean up Yang and fight ghosts after the war.

Therefore, in the end, he chose to restrain his impulses, and both the Russians and the Japanese planned to clean themselves up after the war, and it was better to sharpen their knives a little faster.

Huang Bao also sent an important piece of information, that is, the Russians had negotiated with the Manchu Qing Qing to let the Manchu government vacate Mukden as an important supply base for the Russians. Their reason was that Fengtian was very close to Liaoyang, so it was very suitable as a supply base.

In addition, the Qing troops around Mukden must all be withdrawn to the Jinzhou area, as long as the Russians recognize the neutrality of the Qing Dynasty. Yang Xiaolin knew that in history, Zeng Qi agreed to the conditions of the Russians, and privately signed the so-called Fengtian Agreement with Lao Maozi. Zeng Qi dared to do this, there must have been Lafayette's approval, after the war Lafayette removed Zeng Qi from his position, and did not recognize this paper agreement, but it was too late.

When the Russians entered Mukden, in the name of capturing the so-called Japanese spies, they killed many Chinese around Mukden, and it was at that time that Zhang Zuolin announced his departure from the Qing army. Later, the Japanese and the Russians fought a decisive battle in Mukden, and the Japanese won, but the first thing they did when they entered Mukden was to capture the so-called Russian spies, and many Chinese people died.

In the future, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no way to really take back Mukden, including when the Japanese army arrived at the edge of Mukden City in the Republic of China, saying that if they entered the city, they would enter the city.

Zeng Qi can be said to be a sinner in history, but now that he has stepped down early, will Zaitao agree to the conditions of the Russians? Yang Xiaolin didn't know. (Ask for a recommendation ticket!) There is a shift in the evening, brothers, add some diesel! ）
