An Olive Branch from Dongyang Country!
When Zhang Kuang arrived at Fengtian to discuss the change of allegiance with Zhang Xuemin, Dongyang's Guandong Army was also paying close attention to the progress of the negotiations between Jinling City and the Northeast. They even sent envoys to meet with the Northeast Foreign Ministers to emphasize Dongyang's stance and firmly oppose the change of allegiance!
He originally wanted to meet Zhang Xuemin directly, but this Dongyang envoy was a little cowardly and didn't dare to go. He changed his tone to meeting the foreign education department, threatening to not let the northeast change its banner!
The commander of the Kwantung Army, Eitaro Tanaka, urgently called for the senior staff officer, Koji Tanaka, and the advisor of the Dongyang government in the northeast, Kikuchi Chio, to discuss how to prevent the northeast from changing sides!
"Baka, if the Northeast follows the Jinling City government, the Empire's plan to annex the Dragon Country will definitely be affected. This is absolutely not allowed!”Tian Ying Taro roared sternly!
No one expected that the representative of the Jin Ling city government would come so quickly!
The matter was urgent, and Tian Yingtaro couldn't even care about Zhang Xuemin shooting the Japanese soldiers. He didn't even care if the letter was torn!
Chio Kikuchi frowned. He had always been Zhang Zuolin's advisor, but after Zhang Xuemin came to power, he immediately chased him away." According to our intelligence, Zhang Xuemin first dismissed Tang Yulin from his position as governor in the name of a drill in the past few days in Rehe. He then incorporated the 57th Brigade and stabilized the food prices and financial market. He was very swift and decisive. This new commander-in-chief of the security of the three eastern provinces is different from any Chinese people we've come into contact with before!”
"Baka, this is really despicable. Why did that idiot Muraoka Choutarou launch the Huanggutun incident to kill Zhang Zuolin? Otherwise, the northeast would never be in this situation!”
"Commander, I think the most important thing now is to extend an olive branch to Zhang Xuemin. If we can give him enough benefits, why would he change his allegiance to the Jin Ling city government?”
"That makes sense!"
Tian Ying Taro nodded and said,""But what benefits can we give him? Our country's resources are relatively poor to begin with!”
"Even though we don't have many resources, our country has a lot of skilled people, including medical, industrial, and even education…We can discuss with Zhang Xuemin to build hospitals, schools, factories, and so on in the northeast…We can also give up some control of the South Manchurian railway!”
The South Manchurian Railroad was the general name for the railroads controlled by Dongyang in the northeast, including the Anfeng Railroad, Fushun Railroad, and Niuzhuang Railroad. It went straight to An City on the border of the Korean Peninsula and was connected to the railway system of the Korean Peninsula!
Controlling the railway was equivalent to controlling the lifeline of a country!
The reason why Dongyang Kingdom did not hesitate to go to war with Russia was to obtain the railway rights in the northeast!
When he heard Kikuchi Chifu say that he wanted to give up control of the South Manchurian Railroad, Tian Yingtaro was a little unhappy." Baka, what are you talking about? How can we give control of the railway to Zhang Xuemin? Then our war with the Furious Bear Country would be in vain!”
" Commander, I heard that Zhang Xuemin asked for 100 million yuan from the Jinling city government…"
Tian Yingtaro was stunned. 100 million yuan. If the Dongyang Kingdom wanted to exceed this price, it seemed that they would have to give up part of the control rights of the South Manchurian railway. He swallowed his saliva and said helplessly," Then you can talk to Zhang Xuemin. You can give up the control of the railway from Fengtian to New Capital. Also, instruct all departments to complete the topographic survey and intelligence survey of the northeast as soon as possible. At the same time, request for more troops from His Majesty. Once the time is ripe, immediately use force to attack Fengtian…"
"Ha Yi!"
……
"What is it? You said you wanted to help the northeast build hospitals, factories, and schools?”Zhang Xuemin looked at Kikuchi Chifu and asked in surprise. This Kikuchi used to be Zhang Zuolin's consultant, so he was quite familiar with the people in the marshal's residence. He also spoke fluent Chinese!
Otherwise, Zhang Xuemin wouldn't have met him!
Kikuchi Chio nodded and smiled.""Dongyang and the northeast should help each other. We can transfer a large number of doctors and technical workers from our country to help the northeast build hospitals, factories, and even schools!”
Helping each other? Who are you kidding?
Zhang Xuemin pursed his lips in disdain. He immediately realized that the Japanese must have received the news that the Jin Ling city government had sent a representative to negotiate. Seeing that the threat had failed, they were preparing to bribe them!
However, building hospitals and factories was indeed a good idea. In the northeast and even the entire Dragon Country, the current medical system was extremely lacking. When many people fell sick, they could only grab some herbs and apply them casually. Then, they would leave it to fate!
If they were lucky, they could survive. If they were unlucky, they would die!
Dongyang's technical skills were well-known even in the 21st century. One had to admit that their manufacturing skills were indeed very impressive. They were world-leading in steel making, car manufacturing, and other industries!
It was indeed a good choice to send some senior technicians to help the northeast with the industry!
As for school, Zhang Xuemin didn't want all the kids in the northeast to learn Japanese. All they could say was ah…Yamei…Yamei…
"At the same time, we can also give up the control of the railway from Fengtian to the new capital, as long as you promise to stick to the northeast autonomy and not follow the Jin Ling city government!”Kikuchi Chio said solemnly!
Zhang Xuemin narrowed his eyes. He was even willing to give up control of the South Manchurian Railroad. This was interesting!
