Beiyang reactionaries

What age is it now.

In the era of rampant warlords, the era of guns is the era of grass head king.Since Lu Yongxiang swallowed Jiangsu, how could he spit it out.Duan Xun never thought that Lu Yongxiang would spit out Jiangsu.Moreover, Lu Yongxiang is a warlord in the local area, that is, the princes who ruled one side, how could he choose to give up his territory and enter Beijing.In this case, it is more possible to appoint him as the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River.

Give him more territory?

That is impossible.

Little Pan Youji nodded with a smile.Duan Xun was right. Xiao Pan Youji came to find Duan Xun this time, not only to keep Zhang Zuolin, but also to support Lu Yongxiang.Duan Xun's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and Japan has begun to be a little jealous of Duan Xun.Therefore, Japan slowly changed its strategy in China.Continue to make friends with Duan Xun, but at the same time support Zhang Zuolin and Lu Yongxiang to fight against Duan Xun, so as to maintain the situation in China where warlords are everywhere.That's why I asked Duan Xun to see how Duan Xun would treat Lu Yongxiang.

The Yangtze River patrol envoy is okay.

"By the way, General Duan. I heard that the General established a 'Tungsten Mine Management Committee' in Jiangxi to rectify the tungsten mine factories in Jiangxi."

"Yes."

Duan Xun said angrily: "The tungsten mining in southern Jiangxi is in a mess and there is no order at all. Various gangs gather in the tungsten mining area, and the public security is not good, which seriously disturbs the local social stability. According to our statistics, the Nanling area Fights happen every day, and there are serious casualties. It must be managed, no matter what.”

Duan Xun looked very angry, but he didn't know how happy he was.

Tungsten.

With the First World War, especially the development of the world's steel industry, tungsten ore became more and more important, and the price was higher and higher.As far as the world's tungsten ore reserves are concerned, China is well-deserved number one.At present, the price of tungsten ore in the world remains high, and in the future, tungsten ore will be a must for the world's industrial powers.

How can Duan Xun allow private mining.

Moreover, it is not only Chinese private businessmen who intervene in China's tungsten mining, but foreign firms from various countries also intervene.These foreign companies did not directly invest in mining, because as Duan Xun said, the local area is too chaotic.Even if these foreign companies go up, they may not be able to compete with local snakes.Unless the army is dispatched.

But because of the chaos, so far China does not have a modern tungsten mining plant, not even a medium-sized tungsten mining plant.These are the most primitive mining methods.Because there is no domestic demand for tungsten ore in China, the mined tungsten ore must be exported and sold to foreign countries.And those foreign firms have access to sell tungsten ore, so they buy tungsten ore from these tungsten mine factories, and then smuggle them quietly.These foreign companies wantonly suppressed the price of tungsten ore by controlling the trading channels.

How could Duan Xun agree to such an important strategic material such as tungsten ore, which is so cheap for foreigners.

That's why Wan Xuan sent troops to Jiangxi. After driving away Jiangxi Governor Chen Guangyuan to control Jiangxi, Duan Xun immediately established the "Tungsten Mine Management Committee".Ding Wenjiang, who had just returned to China, was appointed as the director of the "Tungsten Mine Management Committee". He was not only responsible for exploring the distribution of tungsten mines in Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangdong, but also established a tungsten mining company in southern Jiangxi.No one is allowed to mine without permission, and no one is allowed to sell without permission.

Tungsten ore is a cornucopia.

In the future, all industrial countries will need to buy tungsten ore from China.China is currently an agricultural country, and Duan Xun first developed a large number of various mining industries.Because Duan Xun needs to sell mines to obtain foreign exchange, and use those foreign exchange to buy machinery, equipment and technology from abroad.

"General Duan, I wonder if we can give the merchants of the empire a chance. Let them mine tungsten ore."

"Oh, do businessmen from your country have any intentions in this regard?"

Duan Xun was very surprised.

But cursed in my heart.

What these Japanese people think is really good.What is tungsten ore? It is a strategic resource and a necessity for industrial countries in the world.In particular, the great development of the iron and steel industry requires a large amount of tungsten ore.

Duan Xun also expects to rely on tungsten mines to cooperate with countries such as the United States and Germany in the future to purchase machinery, equipment and technology from them.

You Japanese also want to get your hands on it.

"Yes. To mine tungsten ore, I think the imperial merchants have more financial strength and technical strength than the general. If we mine tungsten ore, we will be able to quickly establish a large tungsten mine factory. By then we will The merchants will definitely pay high taxes."

Japan is really salivating over China's resources.

Japan is an industrial country.

Although it is not as good as Anglo-American law, Japan is indeed an industrial country, and an industrial country with a high degree of industrialization.Japan's industry does not know how many times more developed and stronger than China's.China currently has many mines, but a country as big as China basically cannot digest these resources because it does not have its own industry.So it can only be exported.

Japan is very envious of such a situation.Because Japan is an island country, and it is still an island country with poor resources.Japan lacks many resources needed for industrial development.

Coal mines and iron mines, which are most needed for industrial development, are seriously lacking in Japan.In recent years, there is no oil in Japan, which is urgently needed for industrial development.This is not enough. Japan needs to import other natural rubber and tung oil that are needed.

There are also things such as tungsten ore, antimony ore, and tin ore, which are still not available in Japan.

So what Japan wants to do most when it comes to China is to occupy various resources in China.One of the most beautiful things he has done is to control the Hanyeping Company.In more than ten years, Japan has earned hundreds of millions of benefits from Han Yeping Company.Even if the control of Hanyeping Company is now transferred to Duan Xun, according to the contract, Duan Xun still has to sell low-priced iron ore and coal mines to Japan every year.

Of course, Hanyeping Company was controlled by Japanese businessmen through commercial methods.Although there are many political factors in it, it is more because Han Yeping Company owes too much money to Japanese businessmen.

But in the northeast, Japan controls several important coal mines, so it is not a commercial activity.

Japan has stolen a large amount of resources from China, but Japan still lacks resources.So Japan is staring at China's resources every day to see if there is a way to occupy more resources.Now that Duan Xun started to control the tungsten mine, Japan started to develop the idea of ​​tungsten mine.

Duan Xun knew the importance of tungsten mines, how could Japan not know.

If Japan can control China's tungsten ore, it will have a huge bargaining chip in the international market, just as Japan currently controls the export of tung oil and bristle in Sichuan, which can influence the price in the international market.Even when negotiating between countries, these are important bargaining chips.

"Ambassador Pan, from my own point of view, I have no objection. I came back from studying in Japan, and the strength of Japan is deeply imprinted in my mind. Because I always think that if China wants to develop, it must cooperate with To cooperate with Japan, we must learn from Japan's development experience. Japan has capital and technology, and can quickly put China's tungsten mining industry on the right track."

Hearing Duan Xun's compliment, little Pan Youji nodded repeatedly.

Japan despises Chinese students studying abroad, but welcomes them.

why?

Most international students, if they study abroad, they will naturally have a good impression of that country.This is not a problem of a certain foreign student, but a subtle thing.

It may even be that the person doesn't like the place where he studied abroad, but he will still defend the country in front of others.

Not all of them are, but most of them are.

So little Pan Youji was very happy with Duan Xun's compliment to Japan.So he took advantage of the situation: "General Duan, you mean to agree with the imperial merchants to open a tungsten mine?"

"Hey--"

Duan Xun sighed heavily.

Then he said: "Minister Pan, I personally think so, but the current public opinion doesn't think so. Chinese people pay great attention to this kind of resource mining. If I really allow your country's businessmen to open tungsten mines, then all kinds of Such crimes will be held on my head. The lessons learned by Prime Minister Duan (Duan Qirui) are there, and I dare not act recklessly. I hope Minister Pan can understand this."

"General Duan, you are a friend of the empire. Could it be that you can't even help with such a small matter?"

Little Pan Youji's face became ugly.

At first, Duan Xun thought that he was supporting Japanese businessmen to open tungsten mine factories, but he did not expect to be against it in the end.This made little Pan Youji very angry.Could it be that Duan Xun just won the victory, and if he wants to take over Beijing, he wants to turn his face against Japan?Or do you not want to continue to be involved with Japan?

This is not good.

Not a good sign.

After all, no matter what, Duan Xun will soon become the master of the Beijing government.If Duan Xun really wants to leave Japan alone, it will do great harm to Japan's interests in China.

"Minister Pan, please stay calm. I really dare not approve this tungsten mine factory to businessmen from your country, not only businessmen from your country, but also businessmen from other countries. Because I am really dare not offend public opinion.”

Duan Xun has a good attitude.

Lian Lian apologized to Little Pan Youji, and then said: "Although I can't agree with businessmen from your country to open tungsten mines, we can do the same as Hanyeping Company. I can guarantee that after the establishment of a tungsten mine to mine tungsten mines, it will definitely be Give priority to providing Wusha to your country, and the price must be lower than the market price. I have cooperated with your country for many years and cherish the friendship with your country very much. I think there is room for negotiation on everything.”

"It's true."
