Director Zhou was very satisfied with Cao Mancheng's answer, and when he saw Xu Maofu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he smiled and asked in a low voice, "Does Maofu have any good suggestions?" ”

Xu Maofu hurriedly replied: "Three days ago, my Uncle Zheng bought three old western-style buildings east of the Zhengyi Road military camp from the British, and bought them together with the Xiangjiang News Agency and the affiliated printing house in the western-style buildings. ”

"The "Heung Kong Morning Post" under the Heung Kong News Agency will also be renamed "Oriental News", and the next step is to merge with Hong Kong's Asian Broadcasting Corporation and Huhai's "Oriental News" to jointly form Asia's largest news group.

"So I have an idea here, can the former committee send a few comrades to work in the Xiangjiang News Agency? It will undoubtedly be much more convenient to act as a reporter of the Xiangjiang News Agency, and you can even go to interview Wang Jingwei with your British colonial passport and press card. ”

Director Zhou's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Do you Senior Master Zheng know about this?" ”

Xu Maofu nodded immediately, he always kept Zheng Yi's advice in mind, and did not hide it from Director Zhou:

"I came to Hong Kong this time to purchase medicines and weapons and equipment, and by the way, I helped Master Zheng bring several thick business development reports, and these reports were handed over to Uncle Zheng, and Uncle Zheng called me to his home on the side of Taiping Mountain, and told me that he agreed that our Master Zheng would give up the shares of all industries in Shanghai and Wuhan and take a stake in the soon-to-be-established Oriental News Group."

"This result is basically the same as what we expected by Master Zheng, so there will be no problem in sending a few capable personnel to the Oriental News Agency in Hong Kong or Shanghai."

"Great! After you go back, tell Comrade Zheng Yi that I thank him on behalf of the former committee and the higher-level organization! On my behalf, he told him that the whole situation is very chaotic at present, and after the failure of the Canton Uprising, many members of the Central Committee are nowhere to be found, so we can only wait for the situation to calm down before convening a formal meeting of the Central Committee, when the time comes, all outstanding issues will be resolved. ”

Director Zhou exhorted with emotion.

Xu Maofu nodded solemnly: "I remember!" In another week, the 200 boxes of medicines, 12 sets of Siemens radios, and weapons and equipment that we ordered from the German company Lulin will be shipped to Hong Kong, and then a 1,000-ton freighter will be replaced to load all the supplies we have purchased in the past two months. ”

"I will follow the freighter to Wuhan, and then quietly transport all the materials from Wuhan to Jinggangshan in batches."

Director Zhou was surprised: "Is it safe over there in Wuhan?" ”

Xu Maofu smiled confidently: "Don't worry, our division commander's eldest brother has been promoted to commercial counselor of the British Consulate in Hankou, and he has the largest pharmaceutical company and machinery and equipment trading company in Wuhan, these companies are all jointly established with the British, as long as our division commander orders, even if there are any opinions, he will not dare not do it." ”

"A few days ago, the eldest brother of our division commander sent a telegram to say that the 20,000 pairs of British-made Chinese military shoes, 50 American sewing machines and a batch of khaki cloth that our division commander entrusted him to buy have been prepared, so the only thing we need to pay attention to is the problem after the goods are shipped to Wuhan."

"Fortunately, our division commander has already made a careful plan, as long as we are careful on the way to the base area, there should be no danger."

Director Zhou finally understood Zheng Yi's frankness, selflessness and magnanimity, and he had mixed feelings and was in awe for a while.

……

……

In the middle of winter, the north and south of the river are extremely cold, and there is a bleak wind and cold rain mixed with snowflakes at both ends of the three days to sprinkle the earth, and the many wars and frequent political changes that occurred in this winter have profoundly affected the fate of the entire country and the nation, just like the unpredictable weather.

In the last quarter of the 16th year of the Republic of China, the Xingui faction headed by Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Li Jishen, and Huang Shaohong developed rapidly through the combination of vertical and horizontal, and it only took half a month to defeat the new warlord Tang Shengzhi, who dominated the two lakes, with lightning speed, and captured Wuhan like a bamboo.

Tang Shengzhi, who was speculative and revolutionary, instantly fell into the miserable situation of the betrayal and the departure of his relatives and Wan Fu, and before the brave and warlike Gui army rushed into Wuhan, he hid in a Yueben freighter through the generous help of his "friends", and fled from Hankou overnight to avoid trouble.

The two armies of the Xingui system occupied Wuhan without bloodshed, and the 100,000 Hunan troops who were scattered either fled to Hunan Province or joined the camp of the Xingui system, and the rich Hunan and Hubei provinces have since become the objects of the Xingui system.

In the winter of that year, President Chiang, who had announced his post as commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, traveled around Japan and was happy to see why, and during the trip, when he was at a party with his teachers when he was a student at the Japanese Military Academy, Lieutenant General Nagaoka Gaishi, and Major General Himatsu Kango, commander of the 19th Field Artillery Wing, Jiang Shu presented Nagaoka with a banner that read "Live up to his teacher's kindness."

After that, Chiang successively visited Japanese Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Katsuji Izubuchi, former Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture, Takeshi Inukai, President of the "Manchurian Railway," Jotaro Yamamoto, and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka.

When Chiang returned to China in mid-November, he first reached a reconciliation with his old political enemy Wang Jingwei, and then successfully married Song Meiling, the third lady of the pro-American comprador representative of the Song family, through means such as divorce of his wife, change of religious belief, and conversion to Christianity.

It was also in the winter of this year that the warlords of all walks of life under the banner of revolution carried out feudal secession in the chaotic situation, and the warlords of the four routes, who shouted for the Northern Expedition, invariably grabbed territory, supported their own troops, and began to calculate and fight with each other and fight openly and secretly, and the conflicts of interest between the warlords of Guangdong Province, Fujian Province and Bashu suddenly broke out, and the former brothers became mortal enemies who did not share the sky, and the former mortal enemies became brothers who fought side by side.

Under the rapidly changing and unpredictable general trend, the Jinggangshan base area under the leadership of the Communist Party is extremely small and almost unknown to the world.

The "Battle of Chaling" that shocked the whole country has been forgotten by the people of the whole country and the warlords of all walks of life, except for the local warlords in Hunan Province who have nothing to do with their own affairs, and the eyes of the major Chinese and foreign forces and the 40,000 people of all countries have long since turned to Huhai and to President Chiang, who has re-emerged after returning from Japan and used the preparatory meeting of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Kuomintang Central Committee to re-emerge.

Because of the weakness of its own strength, the revolutionary base area on Jinggang Mountain can only develop silently in the cracks and continue to grow.

PS: The second update is here!

The historical Xiaohuo involved in this chapter is almost written from memory, mainly to explain the background of the times in which the Xiajinggangshan Base Area is located, otherwise everyone will probably suspect why the small base area where thousands of people are entrenched has developed and grown under the nose of the KMT.
