Chapter 86: Secret Room Discussion (1)
Yan Zhengqing saw Zhang Zuolin's slightly twinkling eyes and said with a smile: "When I was studying in the United States, I met old Mr. Colt at a banquet, and I was honored to gain his friendship, so I once went to Colt's house.
Visited."
At this time, the servants from the Marshal's Mansion came over and whispered to Zhang Zuolin that the food was ready, so Zhang Zuolin invited everyone to eat in the dining room. The food was not particularly rich. In fact, Zhang Zuolin did not put much pomp and circumstance in his life.
Dining with my family has always been four dishes and one soup. However, after Tu Sanpao came, there were more people eating, so the kitchen added a few more meat dishes.
Guests came again today, so the dishes prepared in the kitchen were naturally more abundant and richer. The wine prepared was Fenjiu from Shanxi. When everyone sat down, servants naturally came to fill the glasses for everyone. Zhang Zuolin served them.
He picked up his cup and saluted everyone.
"This glass of wine is, first of all, to welcome the arrival of San Pao's old friend Mr. Colt! What an honor!" Zhang Zuolin said with a smile: "Secondly, it is rare for us to have such a complete group of people after San Pao comes. Usually, at most
Sanpao drank two cups with me and didn't dare to drink more. Occasionally, Mr. Yan is also there, but Junzi and Liuzi are in the army and can't come back often! Come! Let's go together for all we can get together today!"
When everyone heard Zhang Zuolin's words, they couldn't help but smile, raise their glasses and drink it all in one gulp. Then, everyone started the banquet with Zhang Zuolin's "casual" command. During the dinner, Colt couldn't wait to propose to Zhang Zuolin.
brought by oneself
Regarding the weapons sales plan, Zhang Zuolin pondered for a while and told him that tomorrow he would send a telegram to Shen Yun, the deputy director of the Dongsan Province Ordnance Factory, and ask him to come over. If after his evaluation, this batch of weapons could be purchased, he would consider ordering a batch.
With Zhang Zuolin's promise, Colt seemed extremely excited! He kept toasting to Tu Sanpao and Zhang Xueliang, and from time to time he asked Tu Qianjun if he planned to go to West Point to study abroad?! After he decided, he would make arrangements for him.
After hearing his words, Zhang Xueliang's eyes flashed a few times, as if he thought of something.
The banquet ended at about nine o'clock. By this time, Colt was already drunk. Lin Bao, the guard squad leader who was Tu Sanpao, who was also the third boss of Ertou Mountain, Chuan Lin Bao, helped Tu Sanpao back.
Pao rested in Pao's small courtyard. At this time, Zhang Zuolin took Yan Zhengqing, Tu Sanpao, Zhang Xueliang and Tu Qianjun to his study.
Zhang Zuolin's study is in the right courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion. In front of the study there is a rockery with a small pond and several old locust trees in front of the door. You can reach the study door through the path and corridor. This is a Qing Dynasty style building
Due to the proper repairs, the building structure and door and window positions of the house are still intact.
Pushing open the door of the study room, I saw two rows of guest chairs inside and two rows of guest chairs underneath. Behind the row of guest chairs on the left was a large bookshelf, which was filled with a large number of books. On the right
Behind the row of bookshelves on the side was a room separated by a curtain. Zhang Zuolin led Tu Sanpao and the others into the room separated by a curtain, with his hands behind his back.
The room was not furnished with Ming and Qing style tables and chairs like the outside, but with a circle of European-style sofas. There was a marble coffee table in the middle of the sofa, with a circle of tea sets on it. Zhang Zuolin's adjutant Wang Xianwu came in
Then he took the tea set and brewed the fragrant Longjing tea, poured it for everyone and then quietly left.
"Mr. Yan, are you sure that this person tonight is indeed a member of the Colt family?!" Zhang Zuolin waited for Wang Xianwu to go out, then looked at Yan Zhengqing and asked steadily: "Is he really capable of getting it?"
Seats at West Point?!”
Yan Zhengqing looked at Zhang Zuolin and nodded, smiling and saying: "He is indeed from the Colt family. Although his current appearance is slightly different from before, I still have an impression. As for whether he can win the West Point Military Academy
Quota...hehe..."
Yan Zhengqing smiled and then continued: "There is a proverb in the United States that says, 'God created human beings, and Colt made them equal.' From this sentence, you should be able to see the influence of this family in the United States, right?!"
"Hiss~" After hearing Yan Zhengqing's words, Zhang Xueliang and his father Zhang Zuolin couldn't help but take a breath! Especially Zhang Xueliang, he once stayed in the church to study English. Does he know what "God" represents in the eyes of Europeans and Americans?
! And this Colt family can actually be compared with the achievements of God in their eyes. Even if this is just a joke, it also illustrates the influence of this family in the United States!
Originally, Zhang Zuolin just thought that the Colt family was just an arms manufacturer. It might have a certain influence, but it would be a bit of a boast to get a spot at West Point Military Academy. But he didn't expect that this family really had such great influence.
influence!
At that moment, Zhang Zuolin turned to Tu Sanpao and asked in a deep voice: "Sanpao, do you think this guy is here just to sell arms?! Also, you have used their guns, what do you think?!"
At the critical moment, one can see the closeness and distance in Zhang Zuolin's heart. To Yan Zhengqing, he was just asking for confirmation, but Tu Sanpao asked questions in a completely dependent manner.
"Brother Qi, I don't believe him if he comes here without the head and tail of the Yankee." Tu Sanpao smiled and continued: "To be honest, those guns are not bad! Especially the M1921 Thompson
I think a submachine gun can be used as a surprise weapon if used in a desperate charge or fire support!"
After listening to Tu Sanpao's words, Zhang Zuolin nodded. He closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa to meditate. At this time, Zhang Xueliang spoke.
"Father, I think we should contact this Colt secretly." Zhang Xueliang looked at Zhang Zuolin who was closing his eyes in deep thought and said calmly: "The Japanese are asking for more and more. I think they may not even want our land in the end."
Swallow it!”
"They dare!!" Zhang Zuolin, who had closed his eyes in deep thought, opened his eyes fiercely! The temperature in the small room seemed to have dropped several degrees suddenly, and it was so cold that it made people feel goosebumps!
"Hmph! Mahler is such a jerk! When I think that the more than 300,000 soldiers of the Anguo Army are vegetarians?! If his more than 20,000 Kwantung Army dares to touch me, I can go to North Korea and directly destroy his lair! God in heaven, I
When a plane lays eggs, I will send a bastard box to charge on the ground! I will blast hundreds of cannons together! Three hundred thousand brothers will come together! Even if the Kwantung Army is made of iron, I can melt him!!"
After hearing Zhang Zuolin's domineering words, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but feel heartbroken! He was worthy of Zhang Zuolin, the handsome bearded commander of blood and bones. His son Zhang Xueliang had such fierceness and heroism that his son Zhang Xueliang never had! Otherwise, the Japanese would not risk falling out.
Zhang Zuolin was killed by the danger, but when Zhang Xueliang was in charge of Northeast China, the Japanese directly played "9.18"!
"Uncle Qi, I think it would be better to get in touch!" Tu Qianjun looked at Zhang Zuolin and said slowly: "The cost of our current aircraft is too high, and the United States also has aircraft technology. If we can introduce cheap aircraft that can be produced independently, then that's right
We have benefits. There are also cars and tanks. According to Colt, their factories are not doing very well now. If we can propose cooperation and bring the production lines and workers to us, it will help improve the skills of our workers and our
