Half a month later, there was still one day before Long Teng started work.
A secret discussion surrounding Longteng Industrial City was also carried out in East Asia. Zhang Tian, who might change the situation in East Asia, became the hot topic of discussion.
The Kwantung Army headquarters.
The president of the South Manchurian Ministry of Railroad Corporation, Yamamoto Jodarou, was discussing with Muraoka Cho Taro, Kawamoto Daisaku, and the others how to deal with Long Teng.
Yamamoto Jyotaro took out a stack of photos from his bag and handed it over."Commander, look, Dragon Soar Industrial City has become a war fortress. This kind of solid fortifications can't be broken through without tens of thousands of soldiers. I don't know how it was built, but there are Longsong Cannons installed on it.”
Muraoka Choutarou looked at the black-and-white photo, which showed a huge wall that was more than ten meters tall and densely covered with various machine guns and muzzles.
A variable!
The biggest variable in the northeast was not that Zhang Zuolin was still alive, but the establishment of Longteng Industrial City.
Yamamoto Jyotaro continued his analysis."Judging from the number, height, and scale of the chimneys, this steel mill can produce at least one million tons of steel per year, which is equivalent to half of the output value of the empire. Moreover, the iron mines in Gongchangling are all rich, and Zhang Zuolin has never allowed us to mine them. If Longteng continues to expand its scale, the coal and minerals in Liaodong are likely to make the Feng army soar…and enter an uncontrollable situation.”
"Of course I know that. Although the Fengtian Munitions Factory is large, the technology and core are still in our hands. The factories in Longteng Industrial City are all westerners…I suspect that it's the work of the western powers.”
Muraoka Choutarou's analysis was wise, and Daisaku Kawamoto and the others nodded in agreement. There was no other possibility.
"Baka, these damn western powers, why are they still helping the Chinese to develop their military industry on a large scale when they have clearly implemented an arms ban?”
If the western countries knew about the Japanese's speculation, they would probably be dumbfounded.
Why didn't we know that we did it?
After cursing a few times, Muraoka instructed,""Order all the railroads under our control not to accept the transportation of goods from Longteng Industry. I want to see if this Zhang Tian can build a railway.”
Unfortunately, his words were rejected as soon as he spoke.
Yamamoto Jyotaro took out a document." This is an order from the cabinet to purchase Longteng's steel on a large scale. This is because the quality of these steel is actually better and cheaper than the international market, so..."
F * ck!
Muraoka waved his hand with a frustrated expression.
"I understand! Let's ignore Long Teng for now. Also, let's ask the Earth Fat Origin Lord to arrange spies to gather intelligence on Zhang Tian and plan an assassination. We must not allow this unstable factor to exist."”
"Hey!"
Daisaku Kawamoto responded and said in a deep voice,"I have already planned to assassinate Zhang Zuolin and his son at the opening ceremony of Longteng Industrial City tomorrow. As long as the plan is carried out smoothly, the biggest threat to the two empires will disappear.”
"Go…"
Beiping.
The Northern Expedition Coalition Army, which had already taken over the city, was also discussing Longteng Industry.
He Yingqin touched the steel ingots and copper blocks in his hands and looked at Old Jiang."Commander-in-chief, Zhang Yuting is really lucky to have such a godson. This steel is much better than Hanyang's, and it's also better than the quality produced by the western powers. Should we purchase it on a large scale so that the Jinling and Hanyang Munitions Plants can speed up the production of weapons and ammunition?”
Purchasing?
Old Jiang frowned." In the past, the Fengtian Munitions Factory didn't sell weapons, ammunition, or steel to outsiders. Now, this Zhang Hanxing is trading wantonly. I don't know what the Zhang father and son are up to."”
"We can't do anything about it. We might as well take this opportunity to stock up on more supplies. Otherwise, if we don't sell them, wouldn't we miss the opportunity for nothing?”
Yan Xishan didn't think much of it. It was better to buy some materials to produce weapons. Even if there was a conspiracy, what could he do?
Fight your way out of the pass and rob the industrial city?
Those hundreds of thousands of Feng soldiers were not to be trifled with.
"That's true. Then send someone to talk to Zhang Hanxing and lower the price.”
"Who should we send?" He Yingqin nodded and asked.”
"Ask Song Ziwen to go personally. Isn't the opening ceremony of Dragon Soar tomorrow? Tell Zhang Yuting to rush over overnight.”
"Yes."
As the government and various major forces heard the news, some private business groups and private enterprises also sent representatives to Anping one after another. For a time, the trains north were full, and there was an endless stream of cars on land.
There were carriages prepared by the Chamber of Commerce to transport supplies, and there were also some young people who were going to apply for workers and join the guards. All kinds of oxcarts and carriages were dragging their families along the official road. It looked very spectacular.
Anping Village.
Oh, now it has been renamed Longteng County.
A large area centered around the industrial city was assigned to Longteng County, making it easier for Zhang Tian to plan the largest industrial city in the northeast in the future.
More than 100,000 people worked day and night for half a month. Longteng County, which was built by the river, gradually took shape. It was opposite the industrial city across the river. Although most of the houses were rough and built with local materials, it was enough for the current needs.
It should be possible to build a reinforced concrete city before winter.
The dragon was about to take flight.
