Why Don't We Make the National Government of Jin Ling City Change Their Banner?
After inspecting the Fengtian Munitions Factory, Zhang Xuemin brought Zhao Xishun back to the government office building!
"Commander-in-chief, isn't the amount of funds you've allocated to the Munitions Factory a little too high? It was 100 million yuan a year. Could the government afford that?”Zhao Xishun had followed Zhang Zuolin for more than ten years, and he was a veteran adjutant. In addition, he was very familiar with Zhang Xuemin, who grew up in the marshal's residence, so he said whatever he wanted!
" The most important thing right now is to expand the production scale of the arsenal," Zhang Xuemin said in a deep voice." If we don't have enough money, we can deduct it from the financial subsidies of the local governments and the military expenses of the various armies. Anyway, we have to reduce the size of the Fengjun!”
"You want a large-scale reduction of troops?"
Zhao Xishun asked in surprise. He originally thought that Zhang Xuemin was only targeting Tang Yulin, but now it seemed like he was planning to promote it to the entire Feng Army!
"It's not a reduction of troops, but a downsizing!" Zhang Xuemin said seriously," There are too many soldiers in the Feng army, especially the old subordinates of Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Jinghui, and the others. Their combat strength is basically zero. It's a waste for the government to pay for such an army every year. I have to shrink the establishment and strength of the Feng army and train a new army to defeat the Dongyang people!”
The Japanese did not dare to attack the three northeastern provinces before they were fully confident. In history, after Zhang Xueliang changed his allegiance, he was ordered by the principal to pull the Northeast Army to Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. Only then did the Dongyang Kingdom's Guandong Army make up its mind and take the opportunity to launch the September 18th Incident!
Zhang Xuemin wanted to upgrade the weapons and equipment of the Fengtian Army before the Japanese army took action. He also wanted to train and improve their combat effectiveness. Therefore, expanding the production scale of the Fengtian Munitions Factory was particularly important!
"Oh right, Xishun, when you return, calculate the assets, property, cash, and other information of the marshal's residence for me!”Zhang Xuemin suddenly remembered that Tang Yulin's family had confiscated two million yuan worth of assets, and Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Jinghui had donated half of their assets, which was more than one million yuan. However, he still did not know how much private property Zhang Zuolin had saved up. He had to calculate it!
"Yes, sir!"
……
After rushing back to the government office building, Zhang Xuemin took a shower and slept for a while before walking to the meeting room to meet the representatives sent by the Jin Ling city government!
"Commander Zhang, how do you do? I am the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the National Government and the Secretary General of the General Office, Zhang Kuang!”
Seeing Zhang Xuemin walk into the meeting room, Zhang Kuang immediately smiled and went up to him. However, a deep hatred flashed across his eyes. He had been waiting here for two whole days!
Previously, the guard had said that Zhang Xuemin had been stabilizing the financial market in Rehe, so it was fine for him to wait, but he didn't expect that after returning, he would go to Fengtian Munitions Factory to inspect it before coming to see him!
If it wasn't for the fact that the principal had ordered him to meet Zhang Xuemin, he would have taken the train back to Jin Ling City!
Unfortunately, he did not have the guts!
Zhang Xuemin shook his hand casually and sat down on the sofa."The principal wants us to change our allegiance and submit to the government of Jin Ling City?”
Zhang Kuang was stunned. Before he came, he had thought of many topics that could lead to a change of allegiance in the northeast, but he didn't expect Zhang Xuemin to be the first to bring it up, and it was in such a direct way!
" We are not obeying the government of Jin Ling City, but we are working together. The principal is dedicated to the country and the people, and he hopes to unify the country as soon as possible. As long as Commander Zhang is willing to change the Northeast and believe in the Three People's Principles, he will immediately be promoted to the position of Deputy Commander of the National Revolutionary Army, and he will also be a strong candidate for the next Chairman of the National Government…"
Politicians were always good at deceiving people. They even came up with the title of the candidate for the next chairman of the National Government!
Xuemin waved his hand and interrupted him."Don't talk about useless things. How much money can Jin Ling City give?”
"What money?"
Zhang Kuang was clearly stunned, completely unable to understand what he meant!
"Why are you acting dumb? Of course, it's money for changing sides. There's no benefit at all, and you want my hundreds of thousands of soldiers to listen to the Jin Ling city government?”
" This…" Zhang Kuang was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had asked for money to change sides." This... the change of banner in the northeast... is for the unification of the country. How can such a matter of national righteousness be measured by money..."
Zhang Xuemin rolled his eyes at him." Alright then, I will also uphold the national unity of the country. I will make the national government of Jin Ling City change their banner and hang the five-colored flag of the northeast. After all, the principal is a patriotic person!”
“……”
Zhang Kuang really wanted to roll his eyes like Zhang Xuemin, but he didn't dare to. Before he came, he thought that this 20-year-old new security chief of the Three Eastern Provinces would be easy to fool, but it seemed like that wasn't the case at all!
He was a complete scoundrel!
" Commander Zhang must be joking…He must be joking…After all, the principal is the leader of the country. Besides, the country needs to progress. If we hang the five-colored flag, we will return to the old path of the Beiyang government…"
"That's easy. I can change it to a six-colored flag, a seven-colored flag, an eight-colored flag…anything will do. You can help me ask the principal which colors he likes!”
“……”
Zhang Kuang was speechless. He asked helplessly," Then how much does Commander Zhang think will be enough to change the Northeast?”
"One hundred million dollars!"
