"Young Master Feng, I'm sorry. My appearance has offended Boss.”Second Young Master Yuan said apologetically.
"Second Young Master, you're too serious. In fact, even without you, I have no choice. Young Master's appetite is too big. I really can't satisfy him.”Feng Ping smiled bitterly.
Second Young Master Yuan nodded. Therefore, I will find an opportunity to put in a good word for Commander Feng in front of my father. As for whether it would succeed, he did not know.”
"Thank you, Second Young Master!" Feng Ping quickly expressed his gratitude.
After that, Second Young Master Yuan bade farewell and left.
"General, look at this. Can my father's matter still be resolved?" Feng Ping asked Duan Xiangyan.
"Nephew! I can't guarantee it now. The Eldest Young Master's appetite was indeed too big. If they offended him this time, he would definitely cause trouble. Even with the help of General Zhang and me, it will be very difficult for Brother Feng to become the Fengtian Military Governor. However, if Second Young Master could really put in a good word for Brother Feng, perhaps the effect would be different. After all, the Grand President doted on Second Young Master the most.”Duan Xiangyan was also very depressed. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
After all, he had received a check for 500,000 USD from Feng Ping. Of the 300,000 yuan, he felt that he had a 90% chance of winning, so he asked Feng Ping to give it to him. If he didn't succeed, not only would he offend the Feng father and son, but he would also ruin his reputation! In the future, who would dare to ask him for help?
"Nephew, why don't I refund you the three hundred thousand dollars?”Duan Xiangyan looked pained. It was hard to bear to spit out the meat that he had eaten.
"General, what are you saying? As long as the general tries his best to help my father, it will be fine. The money had already been given to the general. How could he take it back?”Feng Ping hurriedly declined.
"Haha, good! Don't worry, I'll do my best to help Brother Feng.”Duan Xiangyan was very satisfied with Feng Ping's attitude.
If Feng Ping really took back the 300,000 USD, it would probably cause him to be dissatisfied.
"Thank you, General!" Feng Ping expressed his gratitude.
After that, Duan Xiangyan no longer had the mood to have fun, so he directly bade farewell and left.
Feng Ping naturally left Upper Forest Immortal Mansion and returned to his residence.
After that, Feng Ping wrote a letter and sent it back to North Town. He told Feng Linge about what happened in Yanjing and told him to make preparations.
Early the next morning, he left his residence and went to Dongjiao Lane to pay a visit to Rui Enshi, the American envoy to China.
Because he had already been informed in advance, when Feng Ping arrived, Rui Enshi was already waiting at the entrance of the legation.
"Your Excellency, how are you? I'm really sorry to have made you wait!”After seeing Rui Enshi, Feng Ping quickly greeted him.
Rui Enshi was a university professor before he became the US ambassador to China. He was also one of the famous authorities in the Far East in this era. It could be said that his opinion largely determined the attitude of the US government in the Far East affairs. Therefore, he was undoubtedly a very important person.
Feng Ping naturally hoped to gain the support of the Americans through Rui Enshi. This way, the Feng family could rely on the support of the Americans to fight against the Japanese. They would also be able to obtain large amounts of US aid and loans, thus having enough funds to develop industries in the northeast.
Although Japan's industrial base was weak and deformed, it had at least stepped into the ranks of industrial powerhouses. On the other hand, China was still an agricultural country.
Without a strong industry, it would be very difficult to fight against the Japanese.
It was undoubtedly very difficult to develop an industry in a poor country. Moreover, it would take a lot of time.
If the Americans could strongly support it, everything would be much easier.
At the end of the last century, America had already become the world's number one industrial power. In this world war, the Americans would receive a large number of war orders and develop even more. Therefore, obtaining the support of the Americans was very important in Feng Ping's plan.
"Mr. Feng, you're too polite. Please come in!”Rui Enshi did not have the arrogance of a Caucasian.
In other words, in front of Feng Ping, he put away his arrogance.
After all, Feng Ping was not an ordinary person.
Not only did Feng Ping study at the West Point Military Academy in America, but he also had a large number of industries in America. He also had a good relationship with the Dupont family and the Rockefeller family. These were all things that Rui Enshi needed to pay attention to. After all, America was a capitalist country. Money played the most important role.
After some small talk, the conversation between the two parties finally got down to business.
"Mr. Feng, what is your purpose for coming to Beijing?”Rui Enshi did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Minister, I came to Beijing for two reasons. One was naturally to pay a visit to the envoy. The other is to help my father move around and strive to obtain a higher position.”Feng Ping said.
"Does General Feng have a chance this time?”Rui Enshi had obviously done his homework.
Feng Ping nodded." General Zhang Xiluan, who is in charge of the northeast, is leaving. My father hopes to be the Fengtian Military Governor."”
"That is a very important position!”Rui Enshi sighed.
Among the three provinces in the northeast, Fengtian Province was the most important.
At the same time, the northeast was also where the Japanese were the strongest.
As America's rival in the Pacific Ocean, the US government was very wary of the Japanese.
Even though Japan was much weaker than America in terms of overall national strength. However, the military strength of the Japanese was not something that the US could underestimate. Fortunately, the East Ocean Continent was small and lacked resources.
However, the US government did not want to see Japan expand in Northeast China. If the expansion of the Japanese was successful, they would be able to make up for their lack of resources. This was undoubtedly bad news for the United States.
"Mr. Feng, do you need my help? I'm obliged!" Rui Enshi immediately expressed his opinion.
Rui Enshi realized that this might be a good opportunity for America to intervene in the Northeast. If Feng Linge could become the Fengtian Military Governor and establish a good relationship with the US, he might be able to stop the Japanese from expanding in Northeast China. Moreover, based on Feng Ping's relationship with the United States, he could even further rope in the Feng family. This way, the US would be able to support the Feng family in fighting against the Japanese in the northeast. This would be of great benefit to the United States.
"It would be best if Your Excellency could help. If the Minister could express the attitude of the US government to the Beiyang government, perhaps the Beiyang government would consider it carefully.”Feng Ping was overjoyed.
Even though doing so was suspected of using foreigners to gain self-respect. However, Feng Ping had no other choice.
