When Zhang Xueming came to the living room, he saw a middle-aged man in a cotton coat sitting upright with a steaming cup of Longjing tea in front of him.
After seeing this person, he revealed a warm smile on his face.
"Uncle Zhang, long time no see. You're still as good as ever.”
This middle-aged man was Zhang Zuoxiang, who was known as the auxiliary commander.
After Zhang Zuolin's death, if it wasn't for Zhang Zuoxiang, the name of the Northeast Army would have been Zhang.
Zhang Zuoxiang was absolutely loyal to the Old Zhang family.
Moreover, as the only surviving elder of the Northeast Army, he also had a very high prestige.
Needless to say, his ability was also indispensable for the industry of the three northeastern provinces to be unique in the country.
"Second Young Master," Zhang Zuoxiang stood up and said,"you asked that brat Wang Yizhe to send me here. Could it be that you're also planning to tie me up and bring me back to the northeast?"”
Zhang Xueming only smiled when he heard his words.
"Uncle Zhang must be joking. Xueming 'an dared to be disrespectful to his elders. I think Uncle Zhang should have guessed the reason why I invited you here.”
Zhang Zuoxiang nodded and said," Back then, the old marshal entrusted Little Sixth to me. I will not betray him, whether for public or private reasons. Second Young Master, it's better not to waste time."”
He, Zhang Xueming, didn't have the ability to make the old man from the northeast bow down to him.
Moreover, it was not easy to win Zhang Zuolin over because of his love for him.
"Uncle Zhang, let me tell you a story, a story that is closely related to the Northeast Army.”
Zhang Zuoxiang was interested and looked at him.
Zhang Xueming continued," Let's assume that after this incident, I didn't stop the Japanese invaders at Shanhaiguan, and I didn't counterattack Jinzhou.
After the Japanese invaders completely occupied Northern Manchuria, they would continue to aim their troops at Rehe.
The Japanese army was pressing down on the border. With the current morale and equipment of the Northeast Army, they could not defeat the well-equipped and well-trained elites of the Kwantung Army.
As a result, Chengde fell, and the Japanese invaders brought all four provinces of our northeast under their rule.
After taking Rehe, the greedy Japanese army would not be satisfied.
Thus, they decided to open the door to North China and launch an attack on the defense line of the Great Wall.
Even with the Great Wall defense line, it was still difficult to resist the attack of the Guandong Army. In the end, the Great Wall defense line fell, and North China became the target of the Japanese army.
After two defeats, not only did they lose all their elites, but Zhang Hanqing had to take responsibility for the defeat. In the end, he could only resign and the Northeast Army became rootless.
With the means of the Jinling government, he would definitely take the opportunity to dismember the Northeast Army. As time passed, the Northeast Army would eventually become history.”
What Zhang Xueming was talking about were all things that had happened in the original space-time history.
The more Zhang Zuoxiang listened, the colder his heart became, and his mood became extremely heavy.
"Uncle Zhang, is my story reasonable?”
Zhang Zuoxiang didn't say anything. These words had a huge impact on him, making it difficult for him to calm down.
"What you said is just a possibility.”
Zhang Xueming sneered." Yes, it's just one possibility. But Uncle Zhang, do you really think that the Northeast Army can fight back to the Northeast with their current strength?"
Now that I've recovered Jinzhou, the construction of the northeast needs you.
Could it be that 918 had run away once, and now she had to run away again?
Uncle Zhang, please think carefully about the people in Northeast China who are still under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders.”
Hearing this, Zhang Zuoxiang's heart trembled and he clenched his fists.
That's right. Could he turn a blind eye to them when they were needed in the northeast?
This went against the commander-in-chief's request.
Moreover, he had to admit that Zhang Xueming did have a chance of regaining the lost territory in the northeast. Moreover, the chance was not small.
He did not expect the Second Young Master, who he had looked down on back then, to actually grow to this extent.
Zhang Zuoxiang was a little absent-minded and whispered,"Second Young Master, please give me three more days to consider.”
After saying that, he stood up and left. His back seemed a little desolate.
Zhang Xueming smiled.
He knew that he had already persuaded him. Three days was both time to consider and time to prepare.
After expending so much effort, he had finally managed to convince this elder of the Northeast Army to come over.
Without Zhang Zuoxiang, the stabilizing pillar, Xiao Liuzi could no longer make any waves.
After that, Zhang Xueming continued to stay in Tianjin.
Other than persuading Zhang Zuoxiang, he had other things to do.
For example, he could secretly set up an arms company.
He didn't plan to auction these cannons in the name of the new border guards.
Instead, he would set up a firearms company and auction it in the name of the company.
This company would be of great use to him in the future.
He also wanted to get involved in such a lucrative business.
On the same day, with Wang Yizhe's help, a company called Vulcan Industry Co., Ltd. was established in the most prosperous area of Tianjin.
After the initial framework was set up, Zhang Xueming asked Vulcan Industry to send invitations to Jinling, Jin, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Hunan.
Electromagnetic waves traveled extremely fast.
Immediately, all parties received news from Vulcan Industries.
Yan Laoxi, who had made a comeback, reacted the fastest.
"Vulcan Industries? What the hell is this?"
"What is it? 100 105mm heavy cannons for sale? Many people had already received the news?”
"Motherf * cker, immediately send someone with money to get at least 30 of them for me.”
Heavy artillery was the lifeblood of all warlords.
If he had a large number of advanced heavy cannons during the Great War of the Central Plains, he would have had more.
After this battle, Yan Laoxi decided to keep a low profile and preserve his strength.
When Chairman Chang heard this news, he was not happy. Instead, he directly cursed.
"Motherf * cker, where did Vulcan Industries come from? They actually dared to sell heavy artillery to all sides?
Go to Tianjin immediately and tell them that the National Government wants all these heavy artillery. If it flows to them, it will be terrible.”
The temptation of 100 heavy artillery pieces made all parties send special personnel to Tianjin.
