Chapter 461 Sensation
I have to say that Dashanyan’s proposal was very touched by the Russian army.☆→☆→,
In the ending Battle of Liaoyang, in order to keep the Liaodong army neutral, for various reasons, the various costs spent by the Russian army on the Liaodong army, if converted into silver, would definitely not be less than 10 million taels.
If the Liaohe Battle is about to break out in front of you, no one knows how much the Russian army will pay in order to ensure that the Liaodong army remains neutral in the battle.
Another thing is that during the Battle of Liaoyang, the Liaodong Army gained a lot of benefits from the Russian army.
If you can destroy the Liaodong Army, then the benefits in the hands of the Liaodong Army will be yours.
That is not the benefit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but the benefit of hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
Even if everyone in the headquarters share these benefits, each person can still get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that he will never earn in his whole life.
Therefore, the huge benefits that might bring to them after destroying the Liaodong Army were tempted by these people to support the Japanese army's proposal to join forces with the Japanese army to send troops to Liaozhong and eliminate the Liaodong Army.
However, military operations that can often be carried out by 100,000 troops do not mean that they can start at the beginning.
Moreover, these 100,000 troops are divided into two parts, and there are a lot of things to coordinate in the middle.
Therefore, even if the Japanese and Russian armies finalize the entire action plan, it will take at least one month to prepare for the Japanese and Russian armies to prepare for the offensive.
After the training and expansion, the Liaodong Army began to conduct large-scale training and accumulate strength.
The Japanese and Russian armies were not willing to fall behind and accumulated strength.
On the one hand, it was for the Liaoyang Battle that could break out at any time, and on the other hand, it was for the two armies to jointly attack Liaozhong and destroy the Liaodong Army in more than a month.
The small Liaodong also fell into a brief calm.
But those who understand know that this kind of calm is accumulating strength for a more intense outbreak.
At this moment, Yan Bing and three cargo ships were already docking at the Chongqing Wharf.
As an inland wharf, even if the Yangtze River route is very prosperous, it is difficult to see such a large cargo ship leased by the Liaodong Army from Germany.
Therefore, when the three giant ships docked, they directly caused a sensation in Chongqing, and even the government was alarmed.
However, when they saw the German flag and German crew flying on the freighter, many people who wanted to make the three freighters stopped.
At this time, all Chinese people, including the government, had a consensus.
On the land of the Qing Dynasty, as long as you have power, anyone can mess with it, but only foreigners cannot be popular.
After arriving in Chongqing, Yan Bing did not directly break into the yamen or the government office.
Instead, he took a few guards to collect information on the streets of Chongqing, searched for shops, and first opened the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company.
Because of the help of the Germans on the freighter, Yan Bing obtained all the licenses from the foreign trade company from the yamen without much effort.
After buying a few shops on the bustling street, Yan Bing started to dock from the Chongqing Wharf and started to calculate that it took Yan Bing less than three days to bring the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company.
The company was not lively on the day of its opening. However, Yan Bing put out various weapons sold by Liaodong Foreign Trade Company, and the foreign trade company immediately caused a sensation in Chongqing.
Because, Yan Bing’s rifles are all that cannot be bought in Chongqing, but many people want to buy.
More importantly, Yan Bing placed all the heavy machine guns, mountain cannons and field cannons brought by the way in the company lobby for customers to visit.
Ordinary people may have seen rifles.
However, for heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns, mountain cannons, no landlords and gentry among the people have seen them, let alone others.
As soon as the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company put out the news of the exhibition, the people in Chongqing were rushing to go to the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company to see the style of the cannon.
In this way, overnight, the name of Liaodong Foreign Trade Company spread throughout Liaoyang City, including the government office.
The first person to know Liaodong Foreign Trade Company is undoubtedly the parents of Chongqing and the Chongqing Prefectural Office.
"I haven't figured out yet what force is behind this linkage foreign trade company? I dare to sell the anger explicitly stipulated by the imperial court on the street, even heavy machine guns and artillery. Are you not afraid that our government will seal it?"
"Sir, happy and angry!" a staff member subconsciously persuaded.
"As far as I know, there is also a foreign trade company in Wuchang, which is located at the Governor's Office of the Two Lakes, which also sells weapons. But after so long, this foreign trade company is still open and even sells a lot of weapons to the Governor's Office of the Two Lakes."
"Since the Governor's Office of the Two Lakes has not done anything to this Liaodong foreign trade company, and even does business with the Liaodong foreign trade company and buys weapons. I guess the power behind this company must be very strong."
At this time, a subordinate suddenly rushed in and when he saw the branch office, he reported loudly: "Sir, I found it, the forces behind the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company have found it!"
"This company was run as a German. According to the Qing Dynasty, as long as the foreign business run by foreigners is approved by the government, it can sell weapons and ammunition. I checked and found that the units sold by Liaodong Foreign Trade Company include weapons and ammunition!"
"Foreigners, with their foreign character, open foreign businesses on their territory, must come back to the prefect's office to take a walk. Why didn't these Germans come? They don't understand the rules too much."
An aide once again advised: "It's better to eliminate the fire, even the court can't help these foreigners! What's more, our small prefect, anyway, the foreign trade company they open here has no impact on us. More importantly, it won't affect your future, and can even help you?"
"Help me? How do you help me?" the branch asked quickly.
"Sir, what are you busy with recently? You don't know!" the staff member reminded in a low voice.
The prefect replied subconsciously: "The Governor is forming a new army under the orders of the court. Now new army has been formed in various places. Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces are so big that it is impossible for a town of new recruits to be left."
Speaking of this, the prefect was stunned and suddenly thought of something?
Soon, the prefect suddenly realized his mind and said, "I understand what you mean! It's a weapon. It takes a lot of weapons to form a new army. I have met the Governor for a few days. During this period, the Governor's hair has turned white in order to raise enough weapons, but there is still no way!"
"If I give the Governor hundreds of guns at this time, it will definitely be more effective than giving tens of thousands of taels of silver. At that time, the Governor will definitely remember my goodness. During the year-end assessment, the Governor will also vigorously promote me."
Thinking of this, the prefect in a good mood decisively ordered: "You will find the boss behind the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company immediately, and say that the official wants to see him, buy weapons from him, and ask her to come to the prefect's office."
Yan Bing did not expect that the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company attracted the attention of the prefect's office just two days after it was listed.
Because the Liaodong Foreign Trade Company behind him was opened as a German and had a German background. In addition to the protection of a large number of Liaodong troops, Yan Bing agreed to the invitation of the prefect without thinking.
Chapter completed!
