Respectfully

Chapter 101

In mid-January, with the release of the supplementary issue of "Celebrity" with current political news, Marshal Lou was completely popular.

The storyteller in the teahouse slightly polished the interview report, and it was directly a new storyline.

"At that time, Marshal Lou was single-handed, holding a long gun, and charged straight into the enemy camp. When the enemy heard that it was Lou Shengfeng who had killed him, they were all frightened... Marshal Lou yelled loudly, only to scare the enemy general into fighting with both hands. war……"

This trend started in Guanbei City, spread across the six northern provinces, and even spread to some teahouses and taverns in Tianjin and Beijing. If a storyteller can’t say a paragraph or two about Marshal Lou’s brilliant achievements, it will be according to the words of later generations. , Absolutely OUT!

Li Jinyan did not expect that just an exclusive interview could cause such a sensational effect.Immediately made a decision, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and called all the military and political officials in the six northern provinces one by one, truly creating a celebrity effect.

Originally, the second interview was supposed to be Young Marshal Lou, but unfortunately, he has been so busy that he has hardly been seen. If he wants to do an exclusive interview, he has to find a talented person!

The army of the six northern provinces is preparing for a military exercise. The exact location and time of the exercise are unknown, but as soon as the news is revealed, the Japanese who are always paying attention to the movements of the army in the six northern provinces can't even sleep soundly.Especially Oshima Yichang, who is in Lushun, if the so-called exercise of the army of the six northern provinces is just a feint, and the actual purpose is to attack the Japanese army in Dalian, what should we do?

"Lou Xiao is very cunning!"

This sentence has become the consensus of the Japanese troops stationed in South Manchuria.

The Japanese army, who has always looked at people with its nostrils, was first beaten up by Marshal Lou, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and then Li Jinyan poured a vat of sewage, which could not be washed off.Not to mention the loss of most of the South Manchuria Railway, they still have to pay compensation!

He planned to bite the bullet and renege on the debt, but found that this way was not feasible.Marshal Lou was not interested in arguing with the Japanese, so he directly ordered their banks in the six northern provinces to be raided, their warehouses emptied, and even the windows and doors taken away. Except for the four walls, they didn't even leave a single nail for them.

Not giving up like this, and teamed up with the British to hack the Japanese Gengzi indemnity, and cheated them hard.

The Japanese are aggrieved, aren't the British ghosts and animals their allies?How could they get mixed up with the Huaxia people?Even if they were mixed together, they even put their hands into the ally's purse and took out nothing left!

The life of the Japanese is very difficult now. As long as there is a slight financial surplus, it will be used to fill the bottomless pit of the navy. The army is like a stepmother, and the military expenditure is always less than that of the navy. If you lose a battle, you will be ridiculed by the navy!

On January 1, Katsura Katsura’s cabinet finally collapsed in the midst of scolding, a whole month earlier than the third Katsura Katsura cabinet in history. Yamamoto Gonbee, known as the father of the navy, came to power to form a cabinet, and the ruling party became a constitutional government. Therefore, the Japanese Army, which has always been at odds with the Navy and the Constitutional Seiyukai, has a more difficult life.

Want military expenses?Domestic finances are tight, so tighten your belt.Two rice balls and one dried radish a day, the treatment is already very good.

Under such a difficult situation, if the troops of the six northern provinces have a sudden whim, their heads get hot, and they want to drive all the Japanese troops in Dalian into the sea... Yoshima Oshima dare not continue to think about it, he has already planned , Once things change, immediately board the ship and flee to North Korea.It doesn't matter whether you lose face or not, it's more important to save your life.

As for whether this exercise is real or not, whether Young Marshal Lou is simply training his troops or he wants to take the opportunity to attack someone, before the "exercise" begins, no one can guess the result.

Young Marshal Lou is busy, and Li Jinyan is also busy.

The large order signed by the six northern provinces and the British finally gave the Germans a sense of crisis. In order to maintain the friendly relationship with the six northern provinces and prevent the six northern provinces from being drawn over by the British, the Germans finally let go of the engine manufacturing technology. up.

"The Germans agreed?" Li Jinyan could hardly believe his ears, "Diesel internal combustion engine?"

"Don't be too happy." Zhan Changqing picked up his teacup and took a sip. "The Germans put forward additional conditions. They want the detailed information on sulfonamide."

"Sulfa?"

"Correct."

"Have you asked the Marshal and the Young Marshal about this?"

"I've asked." Zhan Changqing said: "The commander-in-chief means that Young Master Yan can handle it according to his needs. The same is true for the young commander-in-chief."

"..." Being a hands-off shopkeeper or something, is it really in the same line?

"Master Yan?"

"The detailed information can't be given to them yet." At least not until Qiao Leshan has researched the penicillin. "You can promise the Germans to double the amount of sulfonamide provided to them."

"It may be difficult for the Germans to agree to this condition."

Li Jinyan shrugged his shoulders, "There's nothing you can do if you don't agree. But you can remind them that only we have sulfonamide, and they are not the only ones who have internal combustion engines."

Speaking of internal combustion engine manufacturing, the UK should be the most influential in the world at present.Germany does have high mechanical manufacturing technology, but the British are not far behind.Although it is not easy to obtain internal combustion engine manufacturing technology from the British, Li Jinyan does not want to be led by the nose by the Germans.Even if he has something to ask for.

"Minister Zhan, we can't make any concessions on this matter. Please worry about how to talk to the Germans."

"In this case, Zhan must do his best."

After seeing off Zhan Changqing, Li Jinyan welcomed another guest, Joseph, the manager of the Danish company.

"Good day."

Joseph is a typical Nordic man, tall, with thick hair and a straight nose. Although he is a businessman, he always reminds Li Jinyan of Vikings.

Although the business of buying breeding pigs with the Danish foreign company failed, Li Jinyan has never given up. If you can't negotiate once, you can negotiate twice or three times. There will always be a day when you can negotiate, right?The British guy is not a thing, so it is not a discussion to play with people, but he is the boss of the world now, and even the future world police will follow John Bull's ass as a younger brother. Li Sanshao is not confident that he can wrestle with the British.

It's a pity that Joseph still didn't let go even though Li Jinyan was eloquent. Li Sanshao finally saw the stubbornness of the Nordic people.But the fact that the Danish pig business cannot be negotiated does not mean that they have no other business to do.After being rejected by the Danes several times, Li Jinyan suddenly remembered that the Danes also have excellent weapon production technology, the most famous being the Madsen machine guns equipped with many European and Latin American armies.When the troops of the six northern provinces fought against the Russian army in Manzhouli, they once seized an original product made in Denmark. There are also imitations in China, called light machine fast guns.

As the earliest practical light machine gun mass-produced in the world, a Madsen machine gun weighs less than ten kilograms, almost only one-third of that of the French Hotchkiss. Before the advent of the Czech light machine gun, Madsen In addition to the high cost of light machine guns, in terms of weight, accuracy and reliability, it has always been firmly in the top spot of light machine guns.

Joseph is obviously very interested in the weapons business. In addition to being equipped with the Danish army, the Madsen light machine gun is also exported in large quantities.Russia alone bought no less than [-] guns. Although European countries have always imposed an arms embargo on China due to the Gengzi Treaty, as time went by, the binding force of this treaty became weaker and weaker. Even the original attitude France, the most resolute, is also selling weapons to China's Southwest Warlords.And according to reliable sources, Germany is even helping to build an arsenal in the six northern provinces!It is completely conceivable how much profit there is.

If you say that Denmark is not jealous, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open.Now that Li Jinyan presents the opportunity in front of his eyes, it's a ghost if Joseph doesn't move.

"Six hundred 8mm Madsen light machine guns, one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition."

After Li Jin finished speaking, the room immediately became quiet.After a while, Joseph said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not." Li Jinyan said: "You know that I am building an industrial zone, and the main purpose of buying these machine guns is to protect the security of the industrial zone."

Use [-] machine guns and [-] rounds of ammunition to defend the industrial area?Joseph almost rolled his eyes, only ghosts would believe such words.

"According to the price your country sells to Russia, I offer 130 silver dollars for each light machine gun, and the price of bullets is calculated as [-] yuan for [-] rounds." Li Jinyan lowered his voice, "As for the price written on the order, we It's completely negotiable. I promise no third person will know."

To put it bluntly, Li Sanshao was blatantly bribing Joseph.

"How, is this deal good?"

Joseph thought about it for a few minutes, then coughed lightly, "Each machine gun is 130 five silver dollars, and every [-] rounds of ammunition is [-] dollars."

"make a deal!"

Li Jinyan was smiling, but he was slandering in his heart, these foreign devils are really black!

But the money you earn is for spending. After looking at the financial report of the previous year, adding and subtracting the profits of several factories under him, and knowing the income of the year, the first thing Li Jinyan thought of was, how could he not Spend the more than 200 million oceans.

The industrial zone is supported by the 1000 million marks given to him by Marshal Lou, and there is no need for additional investment for the time being.It is enough for Jahwa Factory to maintain the current scale. After all, the situation in the next few years will be there, and it is not a good idea to blindly expand production.Clothing factories and canning factories can expand their production capacity, especially the canning factory. Li Jinyan has already talked with Manager Feng and started to "grade" the canned food produced.The best materials are supplied to the military and the domestic market, the second-class materials are exported to earn foreign exchange, and the second-class materials, such as cans with leftover materials, are all hoarded. When the European market starts, these cans will really shine.

At first, Manager Feng did not agree to use these discarded leftovers to make canned food, but after a close talk with Li Jinyan in the office, he immediately changed his attitude.As for how Li Sanshao persuaded Manager Feng, it remained a mystery until a long time later.

The quilt factory has also added a workshop dedicated to the production of hair brushes. Pig bristles are a strategic item in this era, so Li Jinyan will naturally not waste any opportunities to make money.

"For now." Li Jinyan inspected the workshop and said to Li Bing, the manager of the quilt factory, "When the industrial zone is completed, the brush factory will be separated from the quilt factory and handed over to Li Chenglai for management."

When the second master Li was alive, Li Cheng was the housekeeper of the Li family. After the quilt factory was built, he was recommended by Li Bing to work in the quilt factory. He was reliable and capable of handling affairs.

This kind of talent is exactly what Li Jinyan urgently needs.

After leaving the bedding factory, Li Jinyan went to the western medicine factory.

Two of the three workshop directors of the western medicine factory were abolished, and the only remaining director Zhao was also transferred not long ago. The order was given by Mr. Lou himself. As for the reason, Li Jinyan did not go into details.Even though Uncle Dumb couldn't find out what was wrong with Director Zhao before, Li Jinyan was still not at ease with him. Now that Marshal Lou transferred him away, it saved him a lot of trouble.

For the three vacant workshop director positions, Li Jinyan did not make his own decisions, nor did he go to find Marshal Lou, but went directly to Young Marshal Lou.

"If you are promoted from the factory, you can't find the right person. My connections are limited to those. Let the young commander help you."

Marshal Lou didn't say a word, he stared at Li Jinyan for a full minute, until he looked uncomfortable, then leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, "Okay."

Two days later, the three new workshop directors were all in place. Li Jinyan was immediately happy when he saw it. Yishui's soldiers, one of whom was the battalion commander of the independent brigade before, was shot by a machine gun while fighting on the South Manchuria Railway, and his life was saved. , but it is impossible to go to the battlefield again.

Two of the three are graduates of Guanbei Middle School, and one has a background in studying abroad.Although he is still a novice in factory management, there is absolutely no problem in terms of character and other aspects.Coupled with his flexible mind, and according to the original rules and regulations of the western medicine factory, the work was basically done in less than a week.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a pharmaceutical factory or the army, they are all in charge of people. There are rules and regulations posted on the wall. If you don't do it well, you're a fool."

Really?Li Jinyan touched his chin, it should be...
