Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth gold panning in the sand
According to common sense, a person of Horvath's level can serve as the emperor in China. As for the nephew of the tsar, it is even more unattainable. However, from the beginning of the negotiation, Felix was in an extremely disadvantageous position. Zhang Tinglan had already
All his vitality was seized, and the destruction of Korizin told Felix that he didn't even have the chance to act rogue in the end.
What Zhang Tinglan now sent to Felix was a list, which mainly listed the main figures of various factions in the Far East and their strength comparison. Among them, the Socialist Revolutionary Party and other bourgeois organizations that advocated political reform accounted for more than half, and those who supported the tsar
Less than 20%, there are still a large number of people who advocate constitutional monarchy and restrict the power of the tsar.
As for the remaining 30%, they are all divided up by left-wing parties. Most of them are representatives of the minority party. Of course, there are also a very small number of members of the majority party. The minority party basically maintains the same attitude as the Socialist Revolutionary Party, while the majority party
He advocated radical revolution, advocated using war to end wars, and wanted to completely overthrow the tsar.
Facing this list, Felice couldn't help but feel fear. He also knew that Zhang Tinglan was not fabricating it. In fact, these people had expressed their opinions to varying degrees, but some people chose to close their eyes and pretend not to see it.
"Mr. Governor, I would also like to remind you that the actual situation is worse than you think. Although on the surface the number of radical majority members is small and their influence seems to be limited, among the people at the bottom, they
The support rate is quite astonishing, even more than half, which means they have a strong public opinion base, and as long as they seize the opportunity, they will stir up a strong storm!"
If you understand Russian culture, you will find that their artworks have a gloomy and desolate feel, and this nation is also full of self-destructive genes, which means that Russians easily go to extremes. And they go from one extreme to another.
After completely despairing of the tsar, they would take very radical measures to completely destroy the tsarist system, and this would give the majority party the soil to breed and develop.
Felice is not an idiot. He also has his own observations about the situation in Russia. As the saying goes, he does not know the true face of Mount Lu just because he is in this mountain. Now that he has arrived in the Far East, he has a clearer view of the political struggle in Petrograd. At the same time,
It also gave rise to deep worries. It was this worry that forced him to put aside his dignity and seek cooperation with Zhang Tinglan.
And Zhang Tinglan also knew that Felice was a smart man, so he wanted to cooperate with him. Otherwise, he would just be a blind and arrogant bastard. There would be no possibility of cooperation between the two parties.
"Mr. Zhang, how do you think we should cooperate? Or how much help can you provide me?"
"How much help I can provide depends on how much convenience you can give me, but I can guarantee to provide you with 30% of the smuggling profits, but these profits will be temporarily deposited in Fengtian Bank. In addition, I can provide a large amount of military rations. The required
Logistics materials can be produced in Fengtian. And if you need it, you can also get a large amount of loans and even a training base. Of course, the information I have can also be shared with you."
After hearing this, Felice shrugged and said with a smile: "But you also need me to provide a large number of machines and arms. Although you can help me, this premise is based on doubling Russia's weakening. I'm afraid you will suffer the loss.
It’s still me.”
"I admit that it will harm some Russian interests, but as your collaborator, the stronger my power, the more benefits it will to you, and we can also find some ways to make up for it, such as ordering machines from the United States in the name of Russia.
and arms, I will pay for it."
Zhang Tinglan has long chosen the United States as a partner to cooperate with, but unfortunately, Americans are not so friendly. They are very wary of rising countries and are absolutely unwilling to sell good things to China, and there is also Japan.
They are vicious gatekeepers, so cooperation between China and the United States has not opened up.
After much deliberation, the only thing left was to borrow Russia's skin. After all, the United States was relatively generous to the Allies. Felix lowered his head and thought about it, then said with a smile: "This is a big thing, I need to think about it carefully.
But I believe this is the beginning of our friendly cooperation. Starting from tomorrow, the scale of trade between us will expand by 30%. What do you think?"
"I completely agree that any cooperation cannot be achieved overnight, but we are running out of time. I suggest that Suifenhe be identified as the next major trading point, so that we can use the railway to directly trade bulk commodities."
"I completely agree!" As he said this, Felice stretched out his cold hand and shook it with Zhang Tinglan. The cooperation between the two was initially reached!
Zhang Tinglan also observed carefully and found that Felix was quite sensible. If the Tsar really fell, I wonder if he could be supported to ascend to power, or at least establish a seemingly independent country in the Far East to split Tsarist Russia.
Zhang Tinglan knew very well that under the noses of the United States, Japan and other countries, if he wanted to use Fengjun's strength to take back the Northeast in one fell swoop, there would still be great difficulties. He would have to take one bite at a time and support a puppet regime first, and
Chi'o fights to the death to buy time for Fengjun to develop and grow, and then Fengjun will move into the outer northeast, so it will be a matter of course.
This nephew of the tsar is still a potential stock worth investing in. After the negotiations between the two parties were almost completed, Felice and Zhang Tinglan both returned to the reception. In fact, the gap between China and Russia was still very large. They went to the secret room to negotiate, and other
No one knew what the outcome would be, so they didn't dare to get too close. The scene was very deserted, but now that the two people came out with beaming faces, everyone knew that the negotiation was successful.
They were all able to let go, and soon everyone's atmosphere became lively, with people drinking and drinking, especially the Russians. After drinking, they started singing and dancing, like a group of demons dancing wildly. The excitement lasted until midnight, and Zhang Tinglan finally stopped.
Felix sends him off.
Before leaving, Felice still held Zhang Tinglan's hand and said with a smile: "When we first met, we felt like old friends at first sight. I have a small gift, I hope you can accept it."
At this point, Felix lowered his voice and said: "I carefully selected this and brought it from Petrograd. You will definitely like it!"
Looking at the mysterious Felice, Zhang Tinglan had a glimmer of understanding in his heart, but at this time he felt as if a sharp gaze was staring at him, which sent chills down his spine. Zhang Tinglan could only say
Blame this on an illusion.
"Sorry, what did Felix give you?"
"It's nothing. It should be a local specialty of Russia. As a courtesy, let's give him something next time."
"Since it is a local specialty, let's take a look together!" Zhou Xinyao suddenly smiled and said, "You won't object, right?"
"Of course, just take a look if you want!" Although Zhang Tinglan said this, she secretly thought that this girl was too vigilant!
Zhang Tinglan had no choice but to nod in agreement. At this time, the guards brought in two neatly dressed Russian girls. The two girls looked exactly the same, with very slim figures. Their height was about the same as that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Chinese girl, but their faces were different.
She still looks childish, so her actual age should be younger, no more than fourteen years old at most.
Although they are not very old, these two little guys already have the appearance of bringing disaster to the country and the people, especially with a trace of pitiful worry in their eyes, which makes people unable to help but fall in love. They think of the gift Zhang Tinglan gave to Yuan Keding.
After passing Korean twins, someone now gave him a pair of Russian twins. It seems that these powerful figures all have the same dark thoughts. They transcend all restrictions regardless of nationality and race. They can be called the true nature of male animals!
"Governor Felix said that they are ballet dancers specially trained by the Russian royal family. Regardless of their young age, each one has their own abilities. They were sent to exchange a Chinese and Russian culture!" Shen Hua, the captain of the bodyguard, is also a wonderful person.
People actually thought of the term cultural exchange.
However, Zhou Xinyao's face was already covered with a layer of frost, and the atmosphere in the whole room became chilly. Zhang Tinglan only felt that the soft flesh under his ribs was in close contact with two fingers. Three circles on the left and three on the right. Zhang Tinglan also
I couldn't help but grin.
"My loyalty is evident in the sky. This was all sent by Felix. I didn't know anything about it in advance. How can I be more unjust than Dou E?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't be treated like this!" Zhou Xinyao whispered in Zhang Tinglan's ear: "Since they are sent for cultural exchange, they are of no use in your army. I will bring them with me if I have a chance.
Send it to major schools and perform it for the students. I heard that ballet is the favorite art form of the Russian royal family. Its status is comparable to our Peking Opera. It is the true quintessence of the country. Let the students increase their knowledge. I humbly say that you will not object.
Bar!"
"No, no, how could I object!"
Zhou Xinyao stood up randomly and pulled the two little girls away, leaving Zhang Tinglan with an angry back.
"Madam, you won't kill them, right?"
"Kill you big-headed devil!" Zhang Tinglan suddenly raised his foot and kicked Shen Hua on the butt.
"You bastard, I told you about souvenirs, why don't you know how to send me some cigarettes, wine, and jewelry? If you just tell a lie, you will die!"
Seeing a pair of twin little lolita fly away, Zhang Tinglan was filled with anger, but soon the good news came, which made Zhang Tinglan immediately interested. Thanks to Felix's cooperation, the first batch of Russians
The captured scrap arms of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were transported smoothly.
Although it is called garbage, this is an out-and-out gold mine. How many treasures can be found depends on Fengjun's ability.
Zhang Tinglan specially brought a group of technicians and officers to check the situation. In front of them was a pile of scrap guns and broken cannons, piled up like a hill. While Zhang Tinglan was scanning, Zhou Zijian's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly
He ran to the pile of scrap metal in three or two steps.
He touched the thick barrel in front of him with his hand. This thick black guy was thicker than a 122mm howitzer. Its caliber was at least about 150mm. It was an out-and-out heavy gun. Others also showed unspeakable joy! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
