Zhang Tinglan has always been very generous to weapons, and there is nothing to hide, of course, this is to gain Zhang Zuolin's trust, but the more important reason is that Zhang Tinglan did not put these weapons in his eyes, no matter how many things he had, they are consumables on the battlefield, and only if he can really produce them himself, this is the most valuable, and it is worth fighting for.

But Zhang Zuoxiang, who is poor and afraid, doesn't see it that way, not to mention Zhang Zuolin, this arms is thrown to Beijing, Duan Qirui and these Beiyang giants will be red-eyed, especially heavy artillery, which is a good thing they can't ask for, and Zhang Zuoxiang can't help but be cautious.

"Humble words, these things will be registered first, and then transported to our arsenal, as for how to distribute, I will personally discuss with Yuting, in short, we can't work in vain, the most haode things must stay in Jilin."

"Dad, in fact, I mean the same thing, as the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, and now the situation in Russia is getting worse and worse, it has reached this point, maybe when this country will collapse, and then it will be an opportunity for us to show our talents, at least we have to take the Middle East Road in our hands, Liliang is weak, it is absolutely not good, because we not only have to deal with the Russians, but also guard against the Japanese interference, so the heavy artillery must be given priority to equip Jilin!"

Originally, Zhang Tinglan also mentioned the idea of winning the Middle East Road several times, but both Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang were drawing question marks in their hearts, after all, Russia is too big, and it is difficult to imagine if you want to take food in the tiger's mouth. But things have developed to this day, Zhang Zuoxiang began to believe in this jihua for the first time, the current situation in Russia is too bad, it can be said that from top to bottom, it is already rotten, Tianyu does not take it, but suffers from it!

"Well, since you have this plan, I will definitely try my best to fight for it. In addition, we must keep it a secret, and no one else wants to know the exact number except us! ”

After Zhang Zuoxiang finished explaining, he personally ran over to inspect, and when he saw the mountain of munitions, he was also dizzy, and picked up a rifle from the ground casually, and after a closer look, it was at least eighty percent new, and the workmanship was very good. If it had been in the past, Fengjun would have treated this thing as a baby bump.

But now it was thrown on the ground at will, and the soldiers in charge of sorting it out didn't want to take a second look at it, and the difference between the front and back was so great that it was like heaven and earth. Zhang Zuo became more and more satisfied with his son. This kid actually came up with the idea of such a haode way to fight Tsarist Russia. Otherwise, I'm afraid that there will be too many teenagers. Feng Jun didn't even want to get such a haode thing.

Of course, Zhang Zuoxiang also sighed, his attention was still on those black holes of heavy artillery, there were more than a dozen 150 mm howitzers in front of him, lined up in a long column, the gun body still had a trace of gunsmoke on the battlefield, and the high muzzle was a full liliang display.

As a veteran. Zhang Zuo was a little obsessed with these weapons, not only him, but Xiong Mengyuan as well, he carefully examined all the cannons. looked at the remaining parts again, and then ran to Zhang Zuoxiang.

"Auxiliary commander, I just took a look, although these guns are assembled, but whether they can achieve the original effect, we must carefully check it, I suggest that it be transported back to Jilin as soon as possible, and after inspection and debugging in the arsenal, the troops can be equipped."

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded: "Is there anything else to pay attention to?" ”

"Then there is the problem of shells, we got artillery, but the number of shells is too small, there are no shells, these big guys are just a bunch of decorations, I am ready to cooperate with Lao Chen, and then find a few Russian technicians, together to find a way to imitate the shells, the quality may not be as good as the original goods, but it can be regarded as self-sufficient!"

"Very good, you are responsible for all this, don't make any mistakes, every cannon can't be a little wrong."

"Auxiliary commander, don't worry, not only these cannons, but even those remaining parts I will properly preserve, we can't produce now, we can only rely on demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall, and the remaining parts are not replaced!"

Zhang Zuoxiang personally commanded the artillery handling work, for fear of a little damage, Xiong Mengyuan also followed suit, and when it was almost the same, Zhang Tinglan called Xiong Mengyuan over again, and handed him another list with a smile.

"Old Bear, my dad and they all have their eyes on weapons, I think you must like these things."

Xiong Mengyuan took it and took a look, and sure enough, his eyes were shining, and his hands trembled slightly, looking very excited. On the list, there are a large number of machinery and equipment, including mining and metallurgical equipment, as well as various types of machine tools.

These include two sets of coal mining and coal washing equipment, a power plant with a daily power generation capacity of 200,000 kilowatt hours, a steel plant with an annual output of about 20,000 tons, including a 300-ton steel-making blast furnace, and two iron-making furnaces.

The equipment of this steel plant was imported from France before the war, and the Russians also felt the tension in the situation, so they bought it, wanting to increase the war potential, but before it was completed, the First World War began, and the war became more and more tense, and a large number of Russian people were requisitioned to the front, and many factories stopped, especially in the European direction, which also gave the Feng army the opportunity to get their hands on it.

In addition to the steel plant, there is a metallurgical plant, a bicycle factory, and more than 300 machine tools, after getting such a list, Xiong Mengyuan is simply overjoyed, with these things, the steel and coal industry can start, and more than 300 machine tools if they are used well, they can produce some machine parts, which is a big progress.

In addition, compared with Mukden, Jilin is still one section behind, and the power generation is even more insufficient, and the arsenal can only rely on its own generators to operate, if it can get a power plant with a daily capacity of 200,000 million hours, the energy of the arsenal will be completely stabilized, and the output can be increased by a big step.

How can I not be happy to see these Xiong Mengyuan: "These devices are not all from the Far East, I think a lot of them should come from Europe!" ”

"That's right, didn't Wang Tieshan promise to get us 3,000 machine tools, this guy has been tossing in the direction of Russia, and now the road to the Far East has been completely opened, and there are no scruples, these equipment will be shipped over in a steady stream, this is only the first batch. Of course, in addition to the equipment. I will also get some talents and scientific research materials. ”

"People are always more important than machines." Xiong Mengyuan said: "What we lack most is talent, but are they willing to come?" Can the Russian government let it go? ”

"Old Xiong, you are smart and confused for a while, if we want to get a few people to come over, we have to ask them if they are willing, just tie them up, we are saving them from the fire, these people will thank us in the future!"

Zhang Tinglan is indeed right, soon the Russian sky will turn red, and many of these old-style intellectuals will be liquidated. If he could run to Fengtian now, maybe he would have escaped a catastrophe, of course, Xiong Mengyuan still didn't understand this, he was full of excitement, he didn't expect Zhang Tinglan to have so much energy. Got so many goodies!

"Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid these equipment are heavier than cannons. If it is shipped to Fuyuan. We rely on the car to carry it on our shoulders, and we don't know when we will transport it back to Jilin! ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "The next batch of goods will go through the Suifen River and be transported by railway, as for Fuyuan, it is still retained, let's walk on two legs." ”

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and said: "Old bear, Russia's industrial system is not perfect. A lot of factories don't have them, such as cars, engines, and chemicals. Electronics, machine tools, etc., they are heavily dependent on the Great Powers. In the past two years, the Americans have eliminated a number of backward production capacity, you can first help me estimate what we still lack, and then I asked Felix to order from the United States in the name of Russia, and I can get as much as I can! ”

Really started to do things, Zhang Tinglan knew how difficult it is to develop industry, not to mention a complete industrial system, even one or two industries are not an easy thing, the road is blue, it is difficult to start a business, if it is not for the chaos in the Russian world, I am afraid that it will be tossed for a few more years, and it is just a start.

Especially in a divided country, the great powers can crush the weak industrial base casually, as if there is such an opportunity in front of them, then it must not be let go, in fact, think about it, Zhang Tinglan still has a feeling of crying and laughing, China's industrialization in later generations was also started by the Russians, and now, it is necessary to make up ideas from the Russians, this is probably the fate of heaven.

He stayed in Fuyuan for a while, during which time the trade between the two sides became deeper and deeper, and the Russians imposed fewer and fewer restrictions on Mukden.

This guy has now shifted his attention to cleaning up the internal contradictions, and since he was reminded by Zhang Tinglan, this guy has been restless day and night, restless, for fear that when those opponents jump out and incite a mutiny, they will completely overthrow him.

It just so happened that there were more and more things being traded, and Felix had enough food in his hands, so he threw out a large amount of money and used food and wine to win the hearts of the army, and the Russian soldiers finally settled down, and this guy began to clean up the hidden dangers inside.

The Russians advocate the strong, and the political struggle has always been very bloody, whoever can kill more people will win the opponent, Felix also raised the butcher's knife mercilessly, and the Far East was instantly covered with dark clouds and panic.

Of course, the more chaotic Russia is, the better it will be for the Feng army, between Zhang Tinglan and Felix, you do yours, I will do mine, you consolidate your power, I will empty Russia, and the two sides will not delay.

As the Suifen River was put into use, Fuyuan's status continued to decline, and Zhang Tinglan arranged the rest of the work, and then set off to return to Jilin. Zhang Zuoxiang had already gone back before him, and this Zhang Fushuai personally escorted twenty-eight heavy artillery, almost never leaving, more carefully than anything else.

This time I went to Fuyuan, calculated the time, it was more than a month again, and the time finally entered 1917, which is also a year destined to go down in history, Zhang Tinglan also knows that he is preparing for nearly two years, whether he can change history, it depends on this time!

Zhang Tinglan had just returned to Jilin, and good news came from the arsenal, they successfully manufactured two kinds of mortars, one is 80 mm caliber, the other is 50 mm caliber, the mortar is a cheap weapon, but the power is good, very suitable for the poor to use, Zhang Tinglan heard the news, he rushed to the arsenal with great interest.

Ever since the Russian 91mm grenadier mortar was obtained, the arsenal has conducted research and made a mortar suitable for the use of the Feng army.

"We first figured out the structure of the mortar, and then conducted experiments on Russian weapons, and we found that the Russian mortar design was not successful, simply put, it was a failed work that was not up or down, and the caliber of ninety-one millimeters was adopted, but the firing range was less than a thousand meters, and the range was too close for the regimental level, but for the use below, it would be because the caliber was too large, the weight was too heavy, and it was not light and agile enough!"

The research and development personnel of the arsenal introduced Zhang Tinglan on the one hand, and put two works in front of Zhang Tinglan on the other hand.

"The larger one is an 80 mm caliber, with a maximum range of 1,600 meters, and can fire a projectile weighing seven pounds, and can fire six projectiles per minute, and the killing effect is quite good!" (To be continued......)
