Chapter 239 Japanese-Russian Attitude

If one place occupies the time and the other place occupies the advantage of land, it is not realistic to develop both. Heilongjiang's economy is originally underdeveloped, and if it is scattered, it will be even more difficult to rise.

With this question, Wang Maoru asked Chu Yong for inquiries. Chu Yong is now the deputy director of the Provincial Planning Department. He became the deputy director at the age of 27. He was also very arrogant at a young age. Chu Yong sighed that he was really following the right person. The director of the Planning Department is an old official in the province, an old man from the Ministries. He has enough qualifications but mediocre ability. Since the provincial government was reorganized into twenty-four departments, the original old yamen has been transferred to the current planning department. The old director is old and does not understand urban planning, so he made a haha, nodded to the director, and handed over all the big and small things to Chu Yong. Chu Yong is also young and strong, knowing that the old man is pushing the responsibility of the task to him, and is ready to see that he has made a mistake. But Chu Yong knew that even if he made a mistake, he was the first to go with Wang Maoru, so he must be fine. On the contrary, the old man retired after a few years.

After hearing Wang Maoru's hesitation, Chu Yong smiled and said, "There are pros and cons of putting it in two places. It depends on what the Grand Marshal thinks. Is the Grand Marshal's ambition the four eastern provinces or Outer Mongolia?"

Wang Maoru was curious. How did Chu Yong know his idea of ​​making an appearance in Outer Mongolia, so he asked him what he guessed.

Chu Yong smiled and said confidently: "Governor Ma told me last year that the Grand Marshal wanted to build a railway, and established three large railway lines running east, west, south and north in Hulunbuir, respectively, south and north. It is understandable to go south and north. But going west can only mean that the Grand Marshal was determined to take back Outer Mongolia and use railways to connect inner and outer Mongolia."

Wang Maorulian said he worked cunningly, and Chu Yong continued: "If the Grand Marshal wants to compete for the four eastern provinces, the heavy industrial base and arsenal will naturally be built in Qiqihar. If the target is Outer Mongolia, it will be better to build in Hulun. I have to suggest that it is built in Qiqihar, which is far away from Russian interference forces, and it is easiest to develop. So far, the Grand Marshal wants to regain Outer Mongolia unless Russia is defeated by Germany. However, the European war is in full swing, and it is really unknown who will win."

Chu Yong naturally didn't know that the February Revolution and October Revolution would take place in Russia. To be honest, even Germany and Japan, which promoted the Russian Revolution, would not have thought that the revolution they promoted would bring such great changes to the world. Now the workers' movements around the world are in full swing. It can be said that fighting for power, equality, and interests has become fashionable topics. Young people all over the world are pursuing this ideal country and the idealism of the Bolsheviks. When the Russian Bolsheviks seized power, the working class around the world celebrated, which attracted various countries to pay attention to this force that they didn't care about at all. This force is like cancer cells spreading. It spreads all over the world and gives ordinary people in the world a direction.

Should I choose Hulunbuir or Qiqihar? Hulunbuir, choose Outer Mongolia, Qiqihar, and the entire Northeast. If I want Outer Mongolia, I will be the hero of expanding territory. If I want Northeast, I will have the opportunity to compete with Zhang Zuolin for the King of Northeast in the future. If I become Northeast King and ensure that the Northeast is not plundered by Japan, then Japan is very likely to shift its future strategic direction to the Soviet Union! Yes, forcing Japan to face the Soviet Union! Why did Zhang Zuolin fail? Because Zhang Zuolin hopes to unify China and lead 200,000 troops out of seclusion. Wang Maoru does not like to fight a civil war.

He became the king of Northeast China and would never come out of the country rashly with a sharp blade on his back. He was a bloody lesson. As a time traveler Wang Maoru would never make Lao Zhang’s mistake. He considered for more than ten minutes, weighed the pros and cons, and then concluded: “Build Qiqihar. From now on, Qiqihar will be a key development area. Our heavy industrial base will be carried out around Qiqihar. Chu Yong, you plan the future development path for Qiqihar. Of course, the first thing now is to find a Feng Shui treasure land and make the arsenal site.”

"yes."

After a busy day, Wang Maoru had to accompany Tang Shaoyi to have dinner and chat in the evening. Tang Shaoyi received Wang Maoru's promise and greeted him for a few days and then said goodbye.

Although Wang Maoru received telegrams from Yuzhuo and Yuchan every day to ask him to return to Hulunbuir, he could not go home to visit his wife and children. Although his supervisor was recognized by the Beiyang government, he had not yet been recognized by the Russians and the Japanese. According to the arrogant personality of the Russians, he naturally waited for him to visit. The Japanese's power has not been involved here for the time being, and the order is placed in the latter.

Wang Maoru asked someone to prepare gifts and went to Binjiang Prefecture Central East Railway Bureau to visit Horvat, director of the Central East Railway Bureau.

Horvat, whose full name is Demitry Leonidevich Horvat. Born in Klemzug City, Poltava Province, Russia, in Ukraine, Russia. After graduating from Nikolayevsk Engineering School in 1878, he was sent to the combat troops as a second lieutenant. He participated in the Russian-Turkish war. In 1885, he was sent to Central Asia to build the Caspian Railway, and later served as the director of the Central Asia and Ussuri Railway Bureau. Because his wife and mother had relatives with the Tsarist Russian Empress

Relations were highly valued. In July 1903, after the Middle East Railway was officially opened to traffic, he was appointed by the Tsar as the director of the Central East Railway Administration and the commander-in-chief of the Middle East Railway Protection Army. He began to be the rank of colonel and was later promoted to lieutenant general. During his tenure, he established a civil administrative agency within the affiliated areas of the Middle East Railway, that is, the so-called autonomous municipal system was implemented. In 1908, the autonomous association and the board of directors were established in Harbin, turning the affiliated areas of Harbin and the Middle East Railway into the colony of Tsarist Russia.

Holvat was a Russian aristocrat, so he naturally maintained the arrogant attitude of the Russians. No matter whether you are an emperor or a warlord, in front of our great Tsarist Russia, he was nothing. He had a bad relationship with Kubenschi, the Russian ambassador to China. Kubenschi was born in an intellectual family, received higher education, and survived through hard work. He was a typical politician. Holvat was born in a noble family, a military post, and was a soldier. Therefore, the two had a bad relationship and did not like each other.

Wang Maoru visited and submitted a letter of introduction from Kubenschi. This is good, Horvat disappeared. Wang Maoru was also angry. Now I am the governor of a province. You are still so awesome, why are you so awesome? He turned around and led the team to leave Binjiang Mansion.

"Arrogant Chinese!" Horvat said furiously after knowing that Wang Maoru returned, not knowing who was arrogant.

The Russians are arrogant, but the Japanese are cunning. On the Japanese side, they actually sent Major General Sadao Araki, a senior envoy of the Japanese Army Department, to Russia.

This is the biggest promoter of Japan's shift from the empire to the military. He is also an expert on Russia. However, he does not support the Japanese Kwantung Army's actions against Zhang Zuolin, believing that the Feng army should be eroded rather than irritated the Feng army. In fact, if it were not for Zhang Xueliang's failure, the recklessness of the Kwantung Army almost ruined the Japanese General Staff's plan to start Manchuria and then China. Sadaki Araki is a strategist and also a conspirator. He maintained the politeness that the Japanese learned from the Tang people. When he met Wang Maoru, he was polite and polite, and also expressed his high praise for Wang Maoru's books and poems. Moreover, Sadaki Araki discussed Wang Maoru's views on Japan's development, and asked for advice on Wang Maoru's proposal that Japan wanted to develop.

Wang Maoru naturally would not let them attack China, so he would lead the water to the east, saying: "If Japan wants to develop, it can send troops to capture Australia, New Zealand, and Java. These three places, Australia's population is one-fifty of Japan's, the army is one-thirty of Japan's, the navy is even one-percent of Japan's! No, not only one percent, or even one-two percent of Japan's territory! And what about Australia's territory? The area of ​​Australia's territory is 7.61 million square kilometers, and 80% of Australia's territory is grassland, and the mineral deposits are the richest, largest and most complete reserves in the world. And Australia also has the oil and coal mines that Japan lacks the most. This really makes me feel moved."

Sadao Araki said in surprise: "There is oil in Australia?"

Wang Maoru asked back: "Don't the general know that Australia has hundreds of millions of cubic meters of oil fields? The general may not know that my first pot of gold in the United States is to dig oil fields, right? I sent my subordinates to search for oil fields all over the world, but a huge oil field was discovered in Australia..."

Speaking of this, Wang Maoru stopped talking. Sadao Araki hurriedly asked: "Is this...real?real?"

Wang Maoru staggered the topic and said: "General, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, and drink for the sake of the neighbors of China and Japan, and for the friendship between the two countries."

Sadao Araki didn't have the heart to drink. Now oil is liquid gold, and Japan does not produce oil. Japan's automobiles, ships, and especially oil tankers have developed. Although the technology of tankers' warships is incomplete, Japanese people with knowledge believe that it will be a matter of time before tankers replace coal wheels. It's just that Japan does not produce oil, and China - even more so, does North Korea - still produce oil. How could Sadao Araki be willing to learn that Australia still has undeveloped oil fields, but he saw that Wang Maoru wanted to use information as a bargaining chip in exchange for Japan's support.

Sadao Araki congratulated Wang Maoru on behalf of the Japanese side on his role as the governor of Heilongjiang, and then returned to Kanto Prefecture (Dalian). This initial meeting also made the Japanese very interested in Wang Maoru. They also began to hesitate whether to invest in Zhang Zuolin, who was full of banditry, or to invest in Wang Maoru who was full of military armor.

Zhang Kui'an returned to Qiqihar with Han Linchun. The recruitment of Han Linchun was extremely smooth. It turned out that Han Linchun had been dissatisfied with Xu Shuzheng, an important member of the Ruiwan clan. Xu Shuzheng promoted him from the Director of the Ordnance Department to the General Staff as a counselor. Han Linchun was promoted to the Director of the Ordnance Department for only half a year. As soon as Yuan Shikai died, he became a lamb like Yuan Keding. How could he be convinced? This time, when he came to Qiqihar, he also saw that Wang Maoru could allow Yuan Keding and treated his old subordinates as usual, so he gave up the Major General Counselor and came to Qiqihar to show his skills...!~!
