Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Chapter 423: The furious government: "This is blackmail, this is extortion!"

Chu Feng ignored Minister Yang's sophistry and said directly: "Impossible, my conditions are here. Either I build the railway and agree to my condition, or I will do the first one."

Building railways to transport oil is one reason, and another is to facilitate the transportation of troops, as the land in the Northwest is too vast.

Having a railway would allow for better control and transportation of troops. Chu Feng would not allow anyone else to get involved in his railway. At the same time, with the cover of the railway protection army, he could also do other things.

At that time, the Saibei Border Area will serve as the core and the Yumen Special District will serve as the forward base for its northwest strategy.

The three airports cover the entire Northwest region, including Tibet and Xinjiang. The railway is the main artery and the offensive route for the entire Northwest region.

"Forehead!"

Seeing Chu Feng's serious expression, Minister Yang did not agree. He pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, General Chu, I will report to the government and ask them to make a decision?"

Hearing Minister Yang's words, Chu Feng waved his hand and said, "Then it's better to hurry up. I can't guarantee that I won't suddenly change my mind."

"Okay, okay!"

Faced with Chu Feng's naked threat, Minister Yang didn't dare to say anything. He immediately smiled and nodded, then left with his men with a serious face.

"Commander-in-Chief, do you think the government will agree?"

Minister Yang and his group left, leaving only Chu Feng and Li Mingqiang in the room. Li Mingqiang couldn't help but ask.

"Will do!"

Chu Feng said without hesitation, "Every one of our demands is very harsh, but they are all stuck at the critical point of whether the government will accept or not."

"The most important thing is that we are already the strongest in the north, and the government knows very well that they cannot suppress us. If they don't give it to us now, we will have to take it ourselves in the future."

"Besides, the Northwest is the Northwest, and the government is the government. The core of the government is in the southern coastal areas. So if he loses some of the Northwest's interests in exchange for some of his own, his loss won't be too great."

After hearing Chu Feng's explanation, Li Mingqiang thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right, once you reach a deal with the government."

"No matter how unhappy the three Northwest Mas are, they can only endure it. They can't afford to offend us or the government."

"We have occupied some of their territory, but compared to the vast land and population of the Northwest, it is still in their hands."

"The only thing is, they'll be a little uneasy."

Chu Feng showed a hint of disdain on his face when Li Mingqiang mentioned the Three Horses of the Northwest. Although they were still friendly forces and the Three Horses of the Northwest were now purchasing weapons and equipment from him, there were no eternal enemies and friends in this world, only eternal interests.

They buy military supplies for themselves, not to take care of me, Chu.

"So what's the price for the Yumen Oilfield? After all, we've made so many demands?"

Li Mingqiang thought that in the previous negotiation, Chu Feng had been talking about demands, but he did not mention the interests of the national government.

"150 million to 200 million rubles!"

Hearing Li Mingqiang's question, Chu Feng thought for a moment and said, "We have our own price discounts when trading with Mao Xiong Country, but we can't use these discounts to extend to the National Government."

"Even if we give them 200 million rubles, their purchasing power will be equivalent to our 150 million rubles."

"For me, I have never been afraid of the government's growing strength. On the contrary, I look forward to it."

As soon as Chu Feng said this, Li Mingqiang was stunned and looked at Chu Feng in surprise.

"What? Don't believe it?"

Seeing the surprise on his partner's face, Chu Feng asked back, not giving Li Mingqiang a chance to speak, a hint of confidence appeared on his cheeks: "In the whole of China, when it comes to improving strength, who can compare to me, Chu Feng?"

"I did this not to train an opponent for myself, but for the sake of the war."

"We are developing rapidly, but the main force of China's anti-Japanese war is still the Nationalist government and a group of warlords."

"Selling them the production line will give the Nationalist government production capacity, allowing them to increase production capacity and produce more weapons and equipment. With these weapons and equipment, they can kill more Japanese invaders."

"Besides that, what weapons and equipment does the government use? What weapons and equipment do we use?"

"The weapons and equipment of the Nationalist government are not even comparable to those of the Japanese. Ours are miles ahead of the Japanese. Even the Russians only have more types of weapons than us, but they are not as advanced as us."

At this point, Chu Feng couldn't help but sneer: "So, the reason why I sold it to the government so openly was that I never worried about raising a rival, because in my eyes, the government has never been my rival."

"My opponents are those foreigners, the Bear Country to the north. How much of our land is still in their hands?"

"And those Mongol princes and nobles who betrayed us, we haven't promised them independence yet. When the time is right, we will definitely take it back."

"The little devils in the east, as well as other military powers and old empires in the world, are my enemies, Chu Feng. The government? He doesn't deserve it!"

Chu Feng's words were a preliminary demonstration of his ambition. Li Mingqiang looked at Chu Feng excitedly when he heard it.

The newly established Saibei Border Region has become the second largest force after the National Government, and its rise to the top is just around the corner.

Li Mingqiang had thought about some of Chu Feng’s little ideas and future possibilities more than once, and now he finally heard a little bit of it.

But just this little bit made Li Mingqiang excited.

"Old Li, besides the fact that I disdain to regard the National Government as an opponent, I also have great confidence in ourselves and no confidence in the National Government."

"You know I have confidence in ourselves, but I don't have confidence in the government. The reason is very simple: those people in the government are not in the mood to focus on development."

"You see, after such a large sum of money is paid, they will fight each other to the point of bloodshed."

"These factories will also become the key to the game and competition among various parties. No one is willing to give up such a big piece of meat."

Hearing Chu Feng's last words, Li Mingqiang was stunned, and then relieved: "Yes, these people in the government will not just look at the meat and not eat it, and let it go."

"Internal strife! Factionalism! Party strife!"

No one knew about the conversation between Chu Feng and Li Mingqiang. After Minister Yang returned, he immediately sent a telegram to the temporary capital.

As expected, the moment the government saw the telegram, its face flushed crimson and it became red as hell, and it started cursing at the top of its lungs.

"Fuck it!"

"blackmail!!!"

“Greedy!!!”

"Blackmail!"

"Chu Feng is blackmailing me! This is extortion!"

"I don't understand how someone like Yang could send such an outrageous telegram!"
