"To put it mildly, we have to update our armaments and produce vehicles, and these vehicles are not just finished after they are produced, fuel consumption, and daily maintenance cost money. The amount of money we need to spend on this armament renewal is still quite large, and we have just gone through a big war, and it is a big question whether our finances can afford it! ”

Jiang Baili said with some worry, the army is a gold-swallowing monster, there is no money, no matter how ambitious you are, don't want to succeed.

Yang Yuting also said with a smile: "That's right, Min Yuan is very close to money, without his approval, I'm afraid I can't even make money with a humble word!" ”

Zhang Tinglan shook his head slightly: "I have put a lot of effort into the military industrial system over the years, if I can't support myself, I really can't talk about it." ”

Feed yourself? Yang Yuting's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Humble words, are you going to sell weapons to make money?" ”

"That's right!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "We have to change our clothes, and a large number of weapons are stored in the warehouse, and they happen to be all sold, and we can use other people's money to feed military enterprises, dilute production costs, and reduce purchase prices, which is a good thing for multiple profits." ”

"Humble words, I don't object to buying weapons, it's just that we sell weapons to other emperors, these people use these weapons, and then fight a civil war, and the result is still the reputation of the Feng army, I'm worried about the impact of not haode?" Jiang Baili asked worriedly.

Yang Yuting waved his hand and said with a smile: "Senior, it's a bit pedantic for you to think so, even if we don't sell weapons, they won't buy them, they have to buy them, and a large amount of profits will flow into the hands of the powers, so let's take this profit in our hands and use it to develop the Liliang of the Feng army, the stronger we are." The faster the pace of reunification of the country, the less harm the common people will suffer, and I don't think I need to care about the issue of fame and reputation. ”

After Yang Yuting finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Tinglan again, wanting to seek Zhang Tinglan's advice.

"Neighbor, what Mr. Baili said also makes sense, we can't afford not to earn this money, but reputation still needs to be taken into account. No matter how strong the strength is, it is difficult to block the mouths of the world. ”

"Humble words, do you have the best of both worlds?"

"Let's support the two agents." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "There are two main tasks of the Feng army in the future, the first is to strengthen the control of the Far East, and the second is to deal with the Japanese. Choose an opportunity to completely expel the Japanese shili from the northeast. During this period, it is best for us to have a certain shili in the Sekiki. Prevent Beiyang from taking the opportunity to become bigger. ”

Yang Yuting on this proposal. He also appreciated it very much, and asked with a smile: "Humble words, since you said that you have come here, I have two candidates, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Which two people can enter the eyes of neighbors, so let's say it quickly?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile.

"One is Yan Xishan, the overseer of Shanxi. The other is Feng Yuxiang, who originally served as the first marshal and internal response. ”

Yang Yuting mentioned these two people, Zhang Tinglan was also overjoyed, Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang are both famous figures in modern history. Yan Xishan began in Xinhai and controlled Shanxi for 38 years. It is unique among warlords.

There are two important reasons why Yan Laoxi can do this, one is that Yan Xishan has the unique shrewdness of Jin merchants, and he has a small balance in his heart, and everything is weighed very clearly. Another point is that Yan Xishan has made a lot of achievements in civil affairs, and Shanxi once won the title of model province, with a stable society and a solid people. Because of this, Yan Xishan has completely taken root in Shanxi, and he can remain unmoved no matter how the wind and clouds change.

As for Feng Yuxiang, he is also a very interesting character, known as a defective general, capricious, eating who opposes whom, and not facing whom. Of course, the Northwest Army he built single-handedly also adhered to this characteristic, Han Fuyu, Shi Yousan and others were all like this, if they had milk, they were mothers, and they also sold Lao Feng.

Hearing Yang Yuting mention these two people, Zhang Tinglan was also very satisfied: "Neighbor Ge has a good vision, then contact them first, if they are willing to cooperate, let them come to meet me, sit down and have a good talk!" ”

"Dashuai, Yan Xishan said not long ago that he would come to Fengtian to investigate, and he should leave recently, as for Feng Yuxiang, he is in Fengtian right now, if you want to see him, you can bring it immediately."

"Alright, I'll meet him here."

Yang Yuting asked his subordinates to go to the hotel to deliver the news, and after a while, there was a rush of footsteps, and Shen Hua, the head of the guard, walked in with a tall and strong middle-aged man, he was Feng Yuxiang.

Since the last time he failed to serve as Fengjun's internal response, he has been wandering and has not found a place to live, and with the increasing prestige of Fengjun, Feng Yuxiang has the idea of taking refuge in Fengjun, so he ran to Fengtian and looked for connections everywhere.

Originally, Lao Feng thought that there was no chance, but he didn't expect to wait for the news that the marshal met in person, Feng Yuxiang didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly came to the marshal's mansion.

Zhang Tinglan was carrying the majesty of a big victory at this time, and his identity was far from being comparable to those small warlords, and he was very excited to be received by Zhang Tinglan.

After seeing Zhang Tinglan, Feng Yuxiang was also surprised, he didn't expect the other party to be so young, but sitting there, full of majesty, how many people around him would become a foil. After taking a look, Feng Yuxiang hurriedly saluted a standard military salute, and his expression was very serious.

"Lan Shuai, humble Feng Huanzhang, listen to Lan Shuai's dispatch."

"Don't be so serious, please come over, I just want to chat with you and talk to your heart."

Zhang Tinglan said casually, Feng Yuxiang didn't dare to be careless, the other party must have something to do with him, maybe he was going to be transferred, the God-given opportunity must not be missed, Feng Yuxiang only sat on the sofa with half of his buttocks, his waist was straight, and he could stand up and reply at any time.

Zhang Tinglan Feng Yuxiang, a historical celebrity, was also respectful to himself, and he also had a trace of pride in his heart, and said with a smile: "General Feng, you once helped the first marshal, no matter what the result is, the whole Feng army is reading this incense affection, I heard that General Feng has no place to stay now, I am also very sorry in my heart, what do you think, you might as well talk about it." ”

When Feng Yuxiang heard this, he hurriedly stood up: "Lan Shuai, the border guards have defeated the Russians and greatly increased the prestige of China. is a role model for all soldiers, I also want to join the Feng army and serve the country, and I hope Lan Shuai can allow it? ”

Saying that, Feng Yuxiang bowed deeply, looking very sincere.

"General Feng, you have long been the commander of the army, if you enter the Feng army, you need to start from scratch, it is not suitable. I can guarantee you the appointment of the Northwest Frontier Governor, in charge of Gansu, Ningxia and other places, although the places are somewhat barren. But he is also the master of one party, I don't know if General Feng is willing? ”

"Yes!" Feng Yuxiang nodded without hesitation in agreement, in fact, Feng Yuxiang had already studied the situation of the Feng army, and knew that the Feng army was strictly disciplined, and anyone had to start from the bottom. If not cornered. He was also reluctant to join the Feng army, after all, he was used to being a brigade commander. Let him rashly become the squad leader and platoon leader. It's uncomfortable.

Being able to be the emperor of the soil on his own, no matter where he is, is better than sending people under the fence.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "General Feng, the northwest is very barren, and Gansu is the territory of the Ma family's army. Their shili is intertwined, and it is not easy for an outsider to open up the situation. ”

"Lan Shuai, Ma Jiajun is nothing more than a gang of bandits, Feng is willing to fight a bloody way. Anyone who stands in his way will be wiped out completely. ”

"Very good, what I want is General Feng's pride." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I can provide General Feng with 20,000 rifles, thirty artillery pieces, and machine gun grenades for you to support General Feng to enter Gansu and wipe out the Ma family's army." ”

When Feng Yuxiang heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears, these arms were enough for him to equip two divisions of troops, not to mention dealing with the turtles of the Ma Jiajun, even against the ordinary Beiyang Army, it would not be a problem.

I have long heard that Zhang Tinglan is generous, but now I see that it really lives up to its reputation, there are people with guns, from a single commander to the commander of two divisions, this change is too fast, Feng Yuxiang can't believe his ears.

"Lan Shuai, if you treat Yuxiang so well, I will definitely be obedient to Lan Shuai."

"General Feng, you don't have to be like this, as long as you can do three things, you will repay me."

"Lan Shuai, you just command, don't say three, even if it is thirty, I will agree!"

Zhang Tinglan smiled: "General Feng is really a cheerful person, the first thing is to clean up the Ma family's army, these guys slaughter the Han people, and the government is alienated, it is easy to be used by the Shili of the Red Russia, so they must be exterminated, but they are good at using religion as a disguise, which must be vigilant." ”

"Don't worry, Lan Shuai, they are all cultists, Yuxiang will definitely not let them go!"

Feng Yuxiang gritted his teeth when he said, Zhang Tinglan was also secretly happy in his heart, Feng Yuxiang accepted the baptism of Christianity, and he looked down on other religions, and when he was in power in the future, he also carried out the act of destroying the Buddha, confiscated the property of the temple, and turned the house into a public place such as a school.

Zhang Tinglan understands his beliefs, and because of this, he thought of sending him to the northwest, which is exactly to fight poison with poison, let him and Ma Jiajun go dog-eat-dog.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "The second thing is the issue of Yanchang Mine and Yumen Mine, I hope that after General Feng takes control of the northwest, he can facilitate the expansion of the mining scale of the Feng army." ”

Although the Fengjun is engaged in mechanization, although it is very helpful to improve the military strength, the premise of mechanization is that there must be enough oil, otherwise the tank is a pile of scrap metal.

At present, the Feng army does not need much oil, so it can also be imported from the United States, and suddenly with the development of industry and the increase of vehicles, more oil will inevitably be consumed.

Although there is a famous Daqing oil field in the northeast, the average depth of this oil field is 1,1200 meters below, and it is impossible to exploit it at the current Jishu level. The only oil fields that can come in handy are the Yanchang Mine and the Yumen Mine in the northwest, which are the hope of the Feng army.

Feng Yuxiang also guessed Zhang Tinglan's intentions, so he hurriedly said: "Lan Shuai, rest assured, after Yuxiang arrives in the northwest, he will control the oil field as soon as possible, and there will be absolutely no mistakes." ”

Zhang Tinglan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "General Feng, the third thing is also very simple, I will provide you with arms, you can't do it without a little money, but I also know your difficulties." I'm going to authorize you to act as an arms dealer in the Northwest, and for every weapon you sell, you can take a five-percent profit from it, which will be used for arms expenses for the time being, and if you sell more, you will also get a dividend. ”

When Feng Yuxiang heard that Zhang Tinglan authorized him to sell arms, he immediately smiled, what kind of condition is this, it is simply pie in the sky. Since the Republic of China, arms have been the most haode hard currency, and all places have rushed to shili.

Through the northwest, you can sell the arms to those old hats in the southwest, and the profit is simply difficult to measure, although you can only get five percent of the profit, but it is enough for Feng Yuxiang to raise troops.

"Lan Shuai, what kind of condition are you, it is clear that Yuxiang is perfect, and you are worried that there is no way to raise soldiers, you provide a way to make money, Yuxiang must do his best to do things for Lan Shuai, there is absolutely no second word!"

Feng Yuxiang once again expressed his allegiance, and Zhang Tinglan did not expect much from his loyalty, but sending Feng Yuxiang to the northwest was just right to disrupt the situation and pave the way for the expansion of Feng's army.

Yang Yuting suddenly said on the side: "General Feng, I'm going to send you an assistant, I don't know if you need it?" (To be continued......)
