Fengxian Jiangshan

"Zhang Sang, Zhengjin Bank will never do such a thing. You are slandering the dignity of Japan. I hope you take back what you just said!"

Zhang Zuolin glared at his eyes, and said sharply, "My old Zhang Tutumo is a nail, and I will never take it back. If you can run on official bank accounts, you can print fake notes. Now I'm afraid it's a thief calling for a thief!"

Lao Zhang's attitude is very tough. It is obviously something that the Japanese have made a mistake, so why would he be intimidated by them!Shitian and Nomura glanced at each other and felt that the matter was tricky. Every time he dealt with Zhang Zuolin, Shitian felt depressed and vomited blood.

Fortunately, Nomura was thick-skinned enough, so he continued, "Zhang Sang, we definitely didn't mean to run on the official bank account. We just saw that the vouchers were unreliable, so we were eager to exchange them."

"There is nothing unreliable about receiving tickets, and the official bank can fully undertake all exchanges!"

Shi Tian seized the opportunity and immediately said: "In this case, Zhang Sang, why not exchange all the coupons in Zhengjin Bank's hands, so that we can all relax!"

Shitian is not stupid, and he entangled with Zhang Zuolin on the issue of counterfeit currency, but he didn't have a clue, so he simply forced the palace directly and asked Lao Zhang to exchange the coupons quickly. Fortunately, they still have about 300 million coupons in their hands. They seem to have reached the limit of the official bank account's ability to exchange.

Even if it is barely exchanged, it can squeeze out all the reserves.As long as Zhang Zuolin is pushed into the corner, the initiative can be regained, and then the issue of counterfeit money can be pursued.

Unexpectedly, Old Zhang was not ambiguous at all, so he nodded and agreed immediately: "Yes, no matter how much you have, you can exchange it, but Mr. Nomura, if you get another bunch of counterfeit coins, then don't blame Zhang for turning his face and denying him!"

Nomura's chest was filled with anger immediately, and he simply stopped talking nonsense, and directly arranged for people to move 300 million over.Zhang Zuolin also called Zhang Tinglan over, and at the same time brought a group of staff to check the currency.

In the process of carrying, Nomura said again: "Zhang Sang, the two people you detained, they exchanged 70 yuan, deducted the counterfeit currency, and there is 45 yuan left, please exchange it together!"

"Mr. Nomura, I'm afraid this won't work. The money is all stolen goods, and we will deal with it after the counterfeit money case becomes clearer."

"If you can't solve the case after three to five years, is our money going to be delayed forever?"

"Of course we won't keep procrastinating." Zhang Tinglan said at this time: "However, we must first make sure that the counterfeit currency is not made by you Zhengjin Bank, and then we can exchange it. To put it bluntly, your suspicion has not been cleared. Now It is already a great favor to be able to exchange it for you!"

Nomura still wanted to argue, but Shitian on the side gave him a wink, not letting him continue to entangle on this issue, and the person who withdrew the money soon ran back, and the full 300 million tickets were presented, pretending to be several The leather case was placed in front of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan.

A smug smile appeared on Nomura's face: "Zhang Sang, a little money, please exchange it now!"

As soon as Zhang Tinglan waved his hand, he asked several staff members to check it in public to prevent counterfeit money from being mixed in.These have been cleared by Zhengjin Bank's employees, and there are no counterfeit coins in them, so the inspection went smoothly.

"Mr. Nomura, the total is 300 million yuan. To be honest with you, it is still difficult to convert all of them into gold and silver. I wonder if you can accept the payment in British pounds?"

"British pound? How did I hear that when you exchanged it with Liu Mingqi, you provided Russian bank bonds? Could it be that you don't have enough capital in your hands, so you want to use British pounds to top it up?"

When Zhang Tinglan heard that Nomura brought up the Russian bonds, he was very happy. He didn't expect Nomura to be as stupid as Liu Mingqi, and he stepped into the trap.

"300 million is not a small amount, and it is all paid in bonds. Once there is a loss, I am worried that your bank will not be able to bear it!"

"The reputation of the big Japanese banks is like gold. We can eat as many bonds as there are, and I heard that the bonds are paid at a [-]% discount. Why not do such a profitable business."

Nomura focused his attention on bonds, and he also had his plans.With the purchase of a large amount of bonds, Miki opened the door to Russia and obtained a large number of arms orders. As a competitor, Nomura also coveted the Russian market, hoping to use bonds to open the door to Russia's finance.

After the exchange, Liu Mingqi reported to Nomura that the official bank owned Russian bonds, and Nomura immediately focused on the bonds, and nothing else could arouse his interest.

"Mr. Nomura, since you are so interested in bonds, we will naturally meet your request!"

Zhang Tinglan was eager to give them all the rubbish, and quickly took the bonds over, with a total value of nearly 320 million, without any delay.

Neither Nomura nor Shitian expected that Zhang Tinglan would be so happy that he actually took out so many bonds, and there was a look of horror in their eyes.

"Mr. Nomura, the Fengtian Industrial Group has reached a trade contract with Russia. We will provide Russia with food, canned food and other military supplies, and these bonds are the advance payment from the Russian side. The Fengtian Industrial Group has strong reserves. It's all exchanged, and there is no difficulty, any Xiao Xiao should not even think about making troubles on Fengtian's ground, or you will bear the consequences!"

Strength is confidence, so Zhang Tinglan simply showed a hole card and beat the little devils so that they would not dare to act rashly.

When Nomura heard this, his complexion changed drastically. He didn't know the opponent's hole cards beforehand, so he recklessly bought and offered tickets and came to run on them.In the end, not only was it unsuccessful, but the problem of counterfeit money was withdrawn, causing the Zhengjin Bank to lose more than 100 million yuan. Nomura regretted it too much.

"Zhang Sang, although the 300 million yuan has been exchanged, you must investigate the issue of counterfeit currency as soon as possible. The Empire will not relax the investigation. You can slander the Empire for counterfeiting. The Empire also suspects that this is a farce directed and performed by you. , let's wait and see!" After Shitian left these words, he and Nomura left the commander's mansion.

"Damn it, these little devils are not stupid, they even suspected us!" Lao Zhang chuckled: "Ting Lan, have you found a scapegoat for this issue of counterfeit money?"

"Seventh Lord, last time we clashed with the Japanese, we used North Koreans to top the tank. I think this time it is better to use Russians as a scapegoat. Tsarist Russia is now in a precarious state, with a large number of opposing forces, and the three eastern provinces also have their activities. Raising funds for activities and printing fake banknotes, it turned out that the Japanese used the black market to buy them, and they fell into the hands of Zhengjin Bank. In this way, the Japanese themselves did not feel at ease, and they were tricked by the Russians. It has nothing to do with us, even if If they suspect it, we don't have to worry about it!"

After Lao Zhang listened, he nodded, but still hesitated: "This excuse is very good, but there are still flaws. The main areas of activity of the Russians are in Heilongjiang and Jilin, not Fengtian, and printing counterfeit banknotes should also be ruble first. So the Japanese will not take this argument lightly."

The biggest flaw of this method is not here, but this method has already been used. When cleaning up the sticks, the anti-Japanese organizations were used to block the mouths of the Japanese, and finally the Zongsha Party was wiped out.Now it is repeating the same old tricks, letting the Russians take the blame, and it is inevitable that the Japanese will not be suspicious.

"Little devils are narrow-minded, and they have to make sure there are no loopholes in order to shut their mouths. Ting Lan, your idea is good. But you have to consider the details. It's best not to find out on our own initiative. That way the Japanese People will be suspicious!"

While Zhang Tinglan was thinking, Jew Fred suddenly took the initiative to go to the commander's mansion and found Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan. When he met Fred, his expression was very serious.

"Mr. Zhang, I want to tell you a piece of good news. A batch of important munitions is about to pass by the Middle East Road, including eight 120 [-]mm howitzers, fifty Maxim machine guns, and a large number of shells and bullets. There is also a The bullet production line ordered from the United States, as well as a batch of firearm repair equipment, I think these things are what you need urgently!"

Suddenly Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Zuolin's eyes widened. The most rare thing for Zhang was the eight howitzers. He had already obtained four of them before, and they were enough to equip a heavy artillery battalion. Looking around the world, I am afraid that no one can It has such a powerful firepower.

What Zhang Tinglan is interested in is the bullet production line and maintenance equipment. With the official bank account, the Fengtian Machinery Bureau has become the possession of his palm. With the bullet production line, the future Fengtian Arsenal finally has a plan.

"Old friend, you ordered the production line and the machine, right?"

"That's right, Zhang, I know you've been coveting these things for a long time. I bribed the governor of the Far East and purchased them from the United States in his name. But there is still one biggest difficulty. The value of this batch of arms is greater than ever, so There was a squadron of Japanese soldiers escorting them along the way, and when they arrived in Changchun, the Russian soldiers would take over, and if we don’t get rid of them, we will never get weapons!”

Chapter 98 Ambush

"Give it up, no matter how many people escort it, grab it for me!" Lao Zhang's eyes were also red, and any ambitious warlord would not like weapons, especially heavy artillery and machine guns, which can't be bought with money .

Zhang Zuolin has asked Yang Yuting many times, and he is very clear about the power of the 120 27mm howitzer. As long as he can pull up the heavy artillery battalion, he will not suffer a loss even if he confronts the Japanese in a field battle.After getting the fifty machine guns, the entire [-]th Division, even the Independent Brigade, could equip each company with a heavy machine gun. This kind of firepower is definitely second to none among the armies outside the customs.

As for the bullet production line, it is even more important. Although Lao Zhang was born recklessly, he also clearly sees the benefits of making weapons by himself.If you can make it yourself, you won't be dependent on others. In other words, you can hold your destiny in your own hands, which is exactly what Zhang Zuolin dreams of.

Therefore, Lao Zhang made up his mind without hesitation, no matter how much he paid, no matter how much risk he took, he would get these treasures into his hands.

We have made up our minds, but we have to face the next trouble. Fred said in a bit of embarrassment: "The howitzers and production lines are all American, while the bullets and shells are produced by Japan, and Russia also attaches great importance to this batch of munitions. The eyes of the Three Kingdoms are fixed on them. A large number of soldiers were specially sent along the way to protect them. With my ability, there is no way to intercept the arms. If you want to get it, there is probably only one way. I wonder if you will dare to do it?" Zhang Zuolin Glancing at each other with Zhang Tinglan, they both nodded in unison.

Isn't it just robbing? The 27th division started out by robbing houses and robbing houses, and it's not difficult to go back to the old business.

"Mr. Fred, the information you provided is too important. Next, you only need to provide the specific time of the train. The action plan will be arranged by us, and it will definitely be seamless."

After sending Fred away, Zhang Zuolin squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and then said, "Ting Lan, the less people who know about this kind of important matter, the better. Go and call Fu Chen, and the three of us have a good discussion!"

Zhang Zuoxiang also rushed over quickly, and the three got together, thinking about the map of the three eastern provinces.

"Seventh Lord, Dad, we are determined to get this batch of arms, but if we rob them, we will offend the three great powers. I am afraid that President Yuan can't afford it. Therefore, we must not do it near Fengtian, and finally in the two provinces of Jifeng At the junction, drag Meng Enyuan into the water."

"That's right, I think it should be between Tieling and Changtu. It happens to be a no-care zone, and bandits are infested, so it's easy to move. But robbing in any capacity is also a big deal!" Since it is Robbery must not be done under the banner of the 27th Division.

"We can't make trouble for ourselves. Under the banner of ordinary bandits, the big powers will definitely accuse the ineffective maintenance of law and order, and then take the opportunity to expand their influence in the three eastern provinces." Zhang Zuoxiang said while thinking: "Or use Mongolian bandits In the name of this, the pressure on the three eastern provinces will be reduced a lot!"

Dad's idea is not bad, but there are still loopholes, how could Meng bandits be familiar with the situation in the Middle East Road!Besides, everyone knows that the Mongolian bandits are all backed by the Russians. Do they dare to rob their masters, so they are not convincing.And it will also give the big powers an excuse to interfere in Mongolia, and the gains outweigh the losses.

However, this proposal inspired Zhang Tinglan. He rolled his eyes and finally had an idea. He said with a smile, "Seventh Lord, do you still remember the counterfeit money? I am going to use Russians to top the tank. I think the two things can be combined." Get up. Create an illusion to make the big powers believe that in the three northeastern provinces, there are a large number of anti-tsarist organizations active. They print counterfeit money, rob arms, and accumulate strength. In this way, China is completely taken out. What's the problem? , all the Russians asked for it themselves, and have nothing to do with us!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good way. The Russians have to take responsibility for their own problems. Naturally, the three major powers cannot form a joint force to deal with China. To put it bluntly, they use the Russian resistance organization to The water was muddy, and while the great powers were not paying attention, they made great efforts to reap benefits and strengthen their force.

"This method is very good, but to make the play realistic, it is better to have some Russians participate."

"Seventh Lord, don't worry, I have bought many Russians by smuggling to Russia during this time, and I think I can make things seamless."
