A week had passed since the Jiapi Gou incident.
Beiping.
In the Governor's Office.
Duan Qirui walked into the office of the two-story bungalow.
"Grand President, the Kwantung Army sent a telegram.”
"Speak."
Old Yuan sat on the chair and read the newspaper without looking up.
"A week ago, when the Guandong Army wanted to pass through Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin pretended to agree and cheated them of 20,000 yuan.”
"The Guandong Army also said that Zhang Zuolin seemed to have cooperated with the Russians and seized a gold mine near Fengtian.”
"The Guandong Army wants an answer from us.”
Hearing Duan Qirui's words.
Old Yuan raised his head slightly.
"What tricks is Little Zhang playing? If the Guandong Army wants to pass through him, then let them pass. Why are they causing trouble for me? And the Russians…"
Then, he looked at Duan Qirui and asked.
"Have you talked to Zhang Zuolin about this?”
Duan Qirui: " I did. Zhang Zuolin replied,'Why should I return the money that I swindled?'”
Old Yuan's mouth twitched.
That was true.
How could he return the money to the bandits?
Old Yuan rubbed his chin and pondered.
Duan Qirui suddenly said.
"Yuan Shuai, Zhang Zuolin is a horse bandit after all. Compared to the direct and Wan lineages, he is just a group of nobodies.”
"I think we should remove Zhang Zuolin from his position and let our people go to Fengtian.”
Hearing this.
Old Yuan raised his eyelids and looked sharply at Duan Qirui.
"You mean you want me to remove Old Zhang's military power? Your people will take over?"
Hearing this, Duan Qirui's heart tightened.
"Yuan Shuai, that's not what I meant…"
Old Yuan waved his hand impatiently.
"Alright, I understand what you mean."
Then, he looked to the north and narrowed his eyes.
"Old Zhang's prestige in the Feng army is not small. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. If I remove him from his position, Little Zhang will definitely take action.”
" But…" Duan Qirui continued.
"Feng Jun is now a tiger in a region. Although he still respects you on the surface, if there's a little..."
She did not finish her sentence.
Old Yuan put down the newspaper in his hand and said.
"Don't worry, Old Zhang's brothers aren't all that united.”
"I spoke to Feng Delin on the phone yesterday. I asked him to come to Beiping and appoint him as the military governor to supervise the military affairs.”
"That little guy Zhang has always talked about loyalty. I wonder if his brother will still put his brother first if he fights for power with him.”
Hearing this, Duan Qirui's heart skipped a beat.
This Old Yuan was indeed powerful.
Feng Delin, whose prestige in the Feng army was not inferior to Zhang Zuolin, was appointed to supervise the army.
Give Feng Delin the right to do whatever he wants.
It was to sow discord.
Or an open scheme.
If you, Zhang Zuolin, still acknowledge Feng Delin as your brother, you must acknowledge his position as the Military Governor.
However, if he did not acknowledge Feng Delin as his brother and monopolized all the power.
Then his reputation in the Feng army would be ruined.
"Yuan Shuai is wise!"
"But, the response from the Guandong Army?”
Hearing Duan Qirui's words.
Old Yuan pondered for a moment.
"He's a little guy. He didn't even say anything beforehand and cooperated with the Russians. He really doesn't put himself in his eyes.”
"Since we've used the soft way, we'll use the hard way.”
"Pass on my orders."
"Order the 1st and 6th divisions to go to Shanhaiguan within a month and get close to Fengtian. Take out your weapons and train them!”
"Let this little guy know that if he dares to jump again, I can suppress him at any time!”
Duan Qirui narrowed his eyes and immediately said,"Yes, sir!"
……
A month later.
Fengtian Marshal's Residence.
Commander Zhang received the news from Shanhaiguan.
She was so angry that she threw the telegram in her hand on the ground.
"Motherf * cker! These two divisions are stationed at Shanhaiguan. They are trying to teach me a lesson!”
"He said it was to train the soldiers. I think Old Yuan only knows how to fart!”
Tang Yulin said unhappily.
"Yeah, this Old Yuan is just trying to scare us!”
"The first division and the sixth division are the most well-equipped among all the divisions. If Old Yuan doesn't like Fengtian in the future, he might even flatten Fengtian!”
"It should be about the 20,000 yuan incident with the Kwantung Army last time. This is the pressure the Japanese put on them.”
Zhang Zuo analyzed.
The other brothers also looked at each other.
Everyone knew that Old Yuan was threatening them.
Actually, this matter could be easily guessed.
Old Yuan was closer to the Japanese.
Therefore, if the Japanese complained, Old Yuan would definitely help.
However…
There was no other way.
After all, Old Yuan was not that powerful.
Old Zhang narrowed his eyes.
He paused for a moment and said to Xishun beside him.
"Call Xuechao over. That kid is in charge of the Munitions Factory recently. We have to see his recent results!”
"Yes, sir!"
……
On the other side.
Munitions Factory.
Zhao Xuechao was inspecting the Maxim machine gun.
In the past half a month, Zhao Xuechao spent the mornings at the Munitions Factory and the afternoons training the team.
Because of the design.
The staff and equipment were complete.
If the craftsmanship was up to standard.
With Zhao Xuechao's guidance.
Within three days, the Zhongzheng rifle and the Azeroth light machine gun had already been manufactured.
Maxim's heavy machine gun also had a breakthrough.
Now, it could also begin to produce on its own.
During this period of time, the Fengtian Munitions Factory produced 500 Zhongzheng rifles, 100 light machine guns, and 8 Maxim heavy machine guns.
These pieces of equipment were enough to equip an entire regiment.
Moreover…
These weapons were beyond this era, and their firepower was very strong.
One had to know that even if it was compared to the Japanese's crooked gang and the 38 big gang.
The light machine guns and rifles were much stronger.
"Young Master, the marshal is looking for you."
Zhao Xuechao was stunned.
Looking for me?
In the past half a month, Old Zhang had basically not asked about his matters.
He just let him tinker around.
There must be something wrong with him suddenly looking for him.
Then, he followed Xi Shun to the marshal's manor.
They had just arrived at the marshal's manor.
He heard the sound of cursing from inside.
"Damn it, that 1st division commander Liu Ergou and 6th division commander Chen Mazi, the two of them are always showing off at Shanhaiguan.”
"Every night, we have to practice with machine guns. It's so noisy that my troops guarding the pass have to be on guard every day to see if they're coming!”
It was Second Uncle Tang Yulin's voice.
Zhao Xuechao raised his eyebrows.
A teacher? Six masters?
Then, he strode into the house.
The moment he entered the house.
All the brothers inside turned their eyes to Zhao Xuechao.
"Eldest nephew Changqing."
Tang Yulin immediately pounced on her when he saw her.
"I heard from Old Seven that you have a way to solve the problem of the Shanhaiguan garrison?”
Zhao Xuechao didn't answer. He looked at Old Zhang.
He still didn't know what was going on.
Old Zhang then explained the matter.
After hearing the whole story.
The system's voice suddenly rang in Zhao Xuechao's head.
"Ding! Mission selection triggered!"
"Ding! [Option 1: Help the Feng Army solve the problem of the Shanhaiguan garrison!] [Reward obtained: Special operations force training gift bag!]”
"Ding! [Option 2: Refuse to help solve the Shanhaiguan garrison problem!] [Reward obtained: Artillery training gift bag!]”
……
The two rewards indicated two paths.
One was the elite special forces.
The other was the group artillery.
However, they did not have cannons yet. Even if they trained an artillery unit, it would be useless.
Zhao Xuechao chose the first option without hesitation.
Hence, he chose his words carefully.
He said to the few of them.
"The Munitions Factory has recently produced a batch of weapons.”
Old Zhang nodded.
She said subconsciously.
"How was it? How many machine guns did you cause?”
He had high expectations for Zhao Xuechao. He had also heard that the Munitions Factory had been making good progress recently.
The other brothers were a little surprised.
He made a machine gun in half a month!
In the past, the Fengtian Munitions Factory only produced a few machine guns a year.
It was just a replica of some Japanese machine guns.
However, when Seventh Sister's child was in charge of the arsenal, he had already built a new machine gun in half a month?
Regarding this.
Zhao Xuechao didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"One hundred light machine guns, five hundred rifles, and eight Maxim heavy machine guns!”
Old Zhang inadvertently glanced at his old brothers.
Thinking of how his son's performance would surprise his old brother, he wanted to take the limelight.
However, when Zhao Xuechao finished speaking…
Before the other brothers could be surprised.
He was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.
How much?
Five hundred rifles? A hundred machine guns! There were also eight heavy machine guns!
