When Jiang Baili reached an agreement with the mustached man in the Germanic Empire and confirmed the cooperation between the two sides in the future.
In Fengtian, Zhang Xuecheng had already sensed the undercurrents in the pass. Powerful factions from all over the country had gathered in secret meetings, preparing to form an anti-Jiang alliance under the leadership of Yan Laoxi and Li Zongren.
In the middle of March, Yan Laoxi sent someone to Fengtian to contact him and persuade him to join the alliance to fight against Old Jiang and elect Wang Jingyi.
However, Zhang Xuecheng didn't comment on this. He didn't agree to join, nor did he oppose their alliance.
This confused Yan Laoxi. In the end, he didn't care whether Zhang Xuecheng agreed or not and directly gave him the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
Yan Laoxi himself was the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. He led the 800,000 strong army of the Anti-Jiang Alliance and was prepared to attack Old Jiang.
Old Jiang wasn't a pushover either. He wasn't someone who could be easily moved.
He immediately ordered the 600,000 soldiers at the front line to be stationed at the borders of their respective provinces. As soon as he gave the order, the troops at the front line would start fighting against Yan Laoxi and the others.
Just as the situation inside the pass was tense and the war in the Central Plains was about to break out, Zhang Xuecheng had secretly ordered the First Army and the Third Army in Fengtian to prepare for war.
At the same time, he also informed the other three armies in Ji Province, Hei Province, and Rehe Province to prepare for war at any time.
This time, he was prepared to seize Yan Laoxi's Jin Province during the chaos of the war in the Central Plains and use the large amount of coal mines to develop the steel industry.
However, he didn't mind seizing a larger territory. If he could seize more territory, it would be very beneficial for his future development.
In the future, whether he wanted to develop heavy industry or light industry, these things depended on the population far more than the demand for other technical materials.
The population was the most important resource for industrial development. Without people, who would mine the coal? Who would transport the iron ores? Who will drive the machine?
Therefore, in order to develop the industry and increase the population, Zhang Xuecheng was prepared to seize other provinces and expand the scope of his rule so that the population would always be sufficient.
As long as there was a sufficient population and abundant resources, he could turn this country into an industrial powerhouse in a short period of time.
At that time, cannons, planes, tanks, cars, warships, aircraft carriers, these powerful weapons would be produced one by one to increase the military strength of this country.
……
Fengtian, Grand Marshal's Mansion.
Zhang Xuecheng sat in the room and looked at Zhang Zuoxiang in front of him. He asked,"Uncle Zhang, have the Northeast Military Academy, the Navy Academy, and the Air Force Academy been built?”
"Currently, the three academies have been built and all the facilities are complete. Other than the lack of teachers and students, there is no lack of other things.”
Zhang Zuoxiang smiled and replied to Zhang Xuecheng.
"Since the academy has been built, we will move the teachers and students inside to study and study. Those old-fashioned universities and lecture halls can be demolished!”
"Yes!"
Zhang Zuoxiang nodded. Although he was a little reluctant, he understood that this was the best choice. He was not prepared to go back on his word, so he said to Zhang Xuecheng,"Don't worry, Major. I'll do it later.”
Zhang Xuecheng knew that he was still reluctant to leave, so he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. Instead, he asked Zhang Zuoxiang,"Has our Ornaments Research Institute been built?”
Zhang Zuoxiang looked at him and smiled." Young Marshal, the Ornaments Research Institute was built last month. Now, the facilities are complete. The military personnel have already started various research.”
"I believe that it won't be long before the Armament Research Institute will develop all kinds of new weapons. These are weapons that only belong to our northeast, and we will soon have our own weapons!”
Zhang Zuoxiang was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
He was happy!
In today's northeast, the weapons produced by Fengtian Munitions Factory were all imitations of foreign weapons. None of the weapons were developed by the northeast alone.
Where did the young marshal find all these military talents?
He could actually develop a new weapon on his own. In the future, the northeast would probably no longer need to imitate foreign weapons. They would use weapons developed by themselves.
In the future, when the soldiers fought with the weapons developed by their own families, they would also be extremely proud.
"Oh! It was actually completed last month!”
When Zhang Xuecheng heard this, he was a little surprised.
He then looked at Zhang Zuoxiang, who was so excited that he was about to faint from joy, and could not help but remind him in amusement,
"Uncle Zhang, the Ornaments Research Institute is now the most important thing in the northeast. In addition to giving them sufficient research funds, we also need to send a large number of troops to protect the Ornaments Research Institute.”
"I'm going to send a battalion to protect the Ornaments Research Institute. What do you think?”
When Zhang Zuoxiang heard this, he immediately shook his head and waved his hand."No! Absolutely not!"
"Uncle Zhang, a battalion is too much?" Zhang Xuecheng was dumbfounded. He suddenly felt that things were a little difficult.
He thought for a moment and finally looked at Zhang Zuoxiang. He gritted his teeth and said,"Uncle Zhang, my bottom line is to send out a company, no less!”
