The Governor's Office of the Three East Provinces has planned these 24 military reclamation areas in the three provinces and eastern Inner Mongolia. The Military and Pastoral Bureau covers the sparsely populated areas of the three northeastern provinces, which plays a very critical role in the development of the three northeastern provinces. In modern agricultural technology

, excellent pastoral seeds, economic crops, large-scale agriculture, military horse cultivation, and forest protection development all play a leading role, and have a strong role in local public security and territory protection.

After Song Biao returned to Fengtian from Xing'an League Military Reclamation Bureau, he negotiated with German DM Company on arms trade, military-industry cooperation, technology transfer and industrial loans, and signed this huge contract that was important for the Northeast Army to enter the pass.

Go down.

On October 12, 1908, Song Biao held a grand wedding at the Governor's Office. Two days later, he and his wife Shu Xuan secretly took an American passenger ship to San Francisco with Conns Vanderbilt and his wife.

The arrangement has not been shown before, and it is highly confidential to the outside world.

Song Biao's visit to the United States is mainly meeting with President Theodore Roosevelt, and using the U.S.-Japan conflict to win further support from the United States (historical is really full of drama). From then on, he will accompany Shu Xuan to his alma mater and Kangzhou.

On a honeymoon, I sold Petroleum Corporation. In the past six months, Petroleum Corporation has discovered several high-yield wells. The Asul oil well discovered in August had a daily output of up to 230,000 tons, and was eager to raise funds to fight a civil war.

Song Biao decided to sell the company in exchange for military expenditure to arm his 500,000 army, and swept the whole country in one go.

...

Connecticut is one of the beautiful places in the United States. It is densely populated, with dense populations from Italy, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands living here. It creates a special cultural atmosphere in the English region.

After arriving in Connecticut, Song Biao lived in a small town called Wallingford, Connecticut. This is the location of Connecticut Women's College. New Haven, 20 kilometers away, has the holy place for Chinese people to study at this time - Yale

University.

Song Biao and Shu Xuan lived in a friend of Conns Vanderbilt's manor in the suburbs of Wallingford. It just so happened that Shu Xuan had a female classmate's home nearby.

This is an old manor built in 1858, quiet and elegant.

The sun shines in the corridor, and Song Biao sits on the rattan chair in the corridor. Enjoy the afternoon black tea and the warm and quiet time. It has been four years since he returned to this era. It took him four years to become a world of

One of the men with real power, and for the classic tall, handsome and rich man, he also married a beautiful and intelligent little girl as his wife. It is precisely because of this that he can carefully savor the joy of the wedding at this moment.

Life is so beautiful. For him, history gives him the luck that it is full of opportunities everywhere. In the environment where JP Morgan Andrew Mellon's three giants are still full of discrimination against the American automobile industry, he and Conns Vanderbil

Special investment has been involved in this great industry.

Because of limited funds, he invested very little capital, but under his suggestion, Conns Vanderbilt decided to cooperate with William Durant to build a large American automobile company - General Motors. Conns Vanderbilt.

Derbilt also invested another sum of money in Ford Motor Company, bought shares of six other companies' original partners, and added a million dollars to Henry Ford to build large factories and parts.

Manufacturing workshop.

The success of PetroChina has allowed Song Biao to receive a huge dividend of 14 million US dollars in the past six months. He has taken this money into his hands and is thinking about what areas he will continue to invest in.

He wanted to buy Bethlehem Steel Company, a medium-sized steel plant established in 1904, with an annual production capacity of only 600,000 tons of steel. Such a production capacity is almost the same as the scale of the Liaoyang Iron and Steel Plant.

But don't underestimate this company, the predecessor of this company was an unsuccessful steel company. However, 60xs completed the metal cutting experiment that was important for the entire world's machine tool industry, which led to the high-speed steel, which is a steel company.

The further development of the era of large-scale industrialization and the large demand for machine tools and high-speed steel made Bethlehem Steel quickly become the second largest steel company in the United States, and made huge profits in World War I.

Song Biao decided to invest in this company and then bought all the data of the metal cutting experiment to invest in a machine tool company.

The US machine tool industry was almost invincible in the first fifty years of the 20th century. It has the world's leading theoretical and experimental research, the world's leading scientific management experience, the world's large domestic market, and abundant

People's huge production scale eventually led the United States to rise to become the king of machine tools in the world. Except for Germany, in the 70 years before the 1970s, no country could challenge the dominant position of the US machine tool industry.

Capital is the king of all evil.

Sitting in the sunny corridor and enjoying the quiet time, Song Biao slowly pondered the problem. The taste of wedding joy is actually quite special. It is probably only after getting married. The condition is that you don’t have to care too much about money.

.

My wife has no conditions. Her only requirement is to go to Kangzhou for a honeymoon, and then go to see the campus she was studying, and get together with the female classmates from the college. If she didn’t have money, she would probably not even be able to satisfy this little wish.

.

Shu Xuan chatted with two classmates from the college in the living room. She was very happy. She also accompanied them, Mrs. Vanderbilt, who walked out of the living room and delivered Song Biao a gift.

Bottle of whiskey and a box of cigars.

While women were talking about those interesting things, Conns Vanderbilt and Song Biao could only bask in the sun in the corridor and enjoy the late autumn in Conn.

The two of them lit a cigar from Brazil, sat on both sides of the coffee table, talking about business and marriage. Conns Vanderbilt is a very experienced person in marriage, because he

I have had two marriages, the first time was bad, and the second time was not happy.

They are already very good friends. There have been many business cooperation in the past two years. Although Conns Vanderbilt is still a long way from restoration... the family's glory is still a long way to develop financial business in the three northeastern provinces and Asia.

It went very smoothly, which made him look very happy.

Americans are very good at doing business. Conns Vanderbilt is definitely not a master in the business field, and even lacks the keen and alert characteristics, but at least he will not be too bad. After Bank of America went public in New York, it relied on

The businesses in Asia and the western United States have obtained a high market value, which allows him to invest more capital in the three northeastern provinces for credit... Although the family's large-scale investment in the automobile industry was ridiculed by the Big Three and Wall Street, it seems that there is still a

Good yield, as Song Biao's Petroleum Company suddenly achieved great success, he now also wants to invest a lot of money in the oil industry.

He talked about an ambitious plan, but Song Biao was not interested. Because Song Biao now just wanted to sell the Mexican Oil Company as much as possible, that's all.

Song Biao seemed to listen carefully, but his heart was flowing quietly like an iceberg on the bottom of the sea. His thoughts were so active, but so quiet.

With the development of shipping and railways, the world has begun to become smaller. It is only 15 days away from the three eastern provinces to Connecticut, and it will be smaller in the future.

At this time, Song Biao felt that he had to invest in the aviation field, set up an aircraft manufacturing factory in China, and slowly cultivate and develop it. There will always be some profits in the future.

Historical information gives him not short-term investment opportunities like Petroleum, but various long-term investments. As long as you persist, you will eventually reap returns with the wheel of historical development.

Mussolini once suggested that Chiang Kai-shek reduce his investment in the navy and strengthen his investment in the air force, because the aircraft manufacturing industry wants to improve at a much faster speed than the warship industry, at least before World War II.

It is really too late for the three northeastern provinces and China to develop the air force very early... In October 2019, two great business opportunities appeared in European and American capitalists and Wall Street. The first one is

It is the well-known American General Motors Company, the second is the Mexican Oil Company. The former was ridiculed by all the capitalists and giants. This year, the car in the United States was also deprecated as a road killer by wealthy carriage sellers, and the latter was simply

It is regarded as a good investment opportunity.

Anyone who is a little familiar with history knows that investing in the former is definitely one of the best deals in history, while investing in the latter will be a deal that harms people in history.

After a brief week of honeymoon in Wallingford, Connecticut, Song Biao couldn't wait to visit Winchester Weapons Company in New Haven. During the Russo-Japanese War, he almost used Winchester Company.

He was impressed by the company by shooting a shotgun.

The reason why Song Biao came to Winchester at this time was because the company was facing a serious economic crisis in peacetime. Although it received a large number of orders during World War I and had a special period of prosperity,

After World War I, Winchester Company still entered a recession without restriction.

In addition, Song Biao also made an appointment with John Moses Browning to meet in New Haven. At this time, John Moses Browning was still in Belgium and was probably able to arrive in New Haven in three days, which means Song Biao wants to

Spend three days in New Haven searching for something.

This is not the first time Song Biao contacted John Moses Browning. In order to invite the Tian designer to join, he has promised many conditions, but he still failed to get what he wants.

New Haven is a classic gun city in the United States. Almost one-third of the industry in this city is related to military industry. Similarly, it is also the location of Yale University.

Although the United States is in the great wave of industry, what Song Biao saw in New Haven is still traces of the old era that are too traditional. The city's industry is gradually lagging behind the great era and gradually retreating from the sequence of American industrial cities.

go out.

After the termination of the cooperation with John Moses Browning, Winchester Company found a young designer, Thomas Johnson, who led the gun design and production business, because Song Biao was an important customer of Winchester Company, and in fact, he was also a

The only big client, Thomas Johnson, who is already the company's chief designer, is personally responsible for receiving Song Biao.

This is an Irish mechanical expert. At the age of twenty-seven, he succeeded the famous JM Browning as a designer for Winchester Company, and over the past six years he launched the...

…Three types of automatic loading rifles, which are a series of automatic rifles that are constantly improving.

In order to solve the company's survival problem, Winchester has been supplying Northeast Army with 8 Mauser rifle bullets, 762r rifle bullets, 75 shells and three-inch shells at low prices to Northeast Army, according to the needs of Northeast Army

Winchester Company specially developed the m1894mk continuous shotgun based on the m1894 continuous shotgun, which is a special shotgun specially used for trench warfare. The barrel is short and has hole-shaped steel plates.

Design of heat shield and bayonet seat.

With the Madson machine gun officially entering the Northeast Army on a large scale, the reorganization of the Far East Ordnance Company and the production capacity of its subordinate factories increased, the orders obtained by Winchester Company from the Northeast Army in 1908 are gradually decreasing.

Thomas Johnson decided to take advantage of the opportunity of Song Biao's inspection in person to recommend the m1907 automatic loading rifle to Song Biao to reverse the current situation of Winchester.

After visiting Winchester, Song Biao knew that the company would not last long. When Far East Ordnance Company and the Benxi Arsenal jointly established by Germany were trying to adopt flow operations and completely use German-style equipment.

While improving production efficiency and quality on a large scale, this old weapon company was still at the level of the late 19th century. Although it was only a decade ago, it was already fatal.

In this noisy and roaring workshop, Song Biao was lucky enough to see every step of the m1907 automatic loading rifle in the production process. Although it has not been used yet, he believes that this is a pretty good semi-automatic rifle.

, but its defects are very obvious. First of all, the bolt has not kept up with the current development trend. Secondly, the magazine can only be inserted directly during the loading process, and at the same time, it needs to be loaded into the magazine one round after another before it can be used.

Although it was the first time to meet Song Biao, Thomas Johnson recommended to him enthusiastically: "Under the general, this is the world's current advanced rifle. It can shoot 20 rounds in a row and it is automatically loaded. No manual operation is required.

Reloading, the rate of fire is very good, and it can completely help you defeat all enemies."

Song Biao continued to watch the worker in front of him work the gun chamber on the lathe, without giving any reply to Thomas Johnson.

This made everyone present feel a little embarrassed. Winchester General Manager J Grent couldn't wait to wink at his designer, hoping that Thomas Johnson could say some valuable recommendation words.

Song Biao's Northeast Army is a real big buyer. It is said that he had just signed a huge contract worth several million pounds with Germany. If such a contract can be divided by 1/5 to Winchester, it will be extremely

Great help Winchester company to overcome the difficulties ahead.

Thomas Johnson thought for a moment and asked Song Biao: "There is a shooting range near the factory. Do you want to try this world's advanced rifle in person?"

Song Biao was a little interested in this proposal. He nodded and took a m1907 automatic loading rifle from Grent and tried to operate it. The special thing about this rifle is that it is not based on Springfield.

Rifles, Mauser rifles, Mosinnagan rifles are improved based on these mature modern rifles, but are based on Winchester's traditional leverage rifles.

Song Biao intentionally removed and reloaded this kind of ammunition. As expected, like the news I knew before, he could only use magazines when loading ammunition, which is similar to modern automatic rifles.

As a groundbreaking semi-automatic rifle, the m1907 automatic loading rifle boldly uses box magazines, bolt retracting springs and insurance mechanisms. These three are currently innovating, and most of them are designed by Thomas Johnson
