Zheng Yi's words to Director Zhou were not improvised, but an attitude that must be expressed when facing a life choice, and it can also be said to be a preventive measure implemented in advance to avoid possible crises in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

From the beginning of entering the Whampoa Military Academy to the passive joining of the Kuomintang today, everything he has seen, heard and even experienced has touched Zheng Yi too much.

Within the Kuomintang, there are many factions, ideological confusion, nepotism, and corruption are everywhere, and the level of deceit and mutual intrigue has reached a shocking level.

Such a political party is really unable to undertake the historical mission of national reunification and national rejuvenation, and even if it brings itself a lot of fame and fortune in the short term, it will not be able to escape the end of drawing water with a bamboo basket in the end.

In particular, today's passive joining of the Kuomintang brought a huge shock to Zheng Yi, who seemed to be sitting on the wall and watching but was actually hesitant, forcing him to make his political position clear.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Yi and Zhou Junruo, who had orders in their arms, led a platoon of guards to arrive at the East Quartermaster Yard outside Guangzhou, and under the guidance of a group of staff officers of the Whampoa Army Headquarters, they officially entered the leafy Quartermaster Compound on the northeast side of the East Field.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was already an east field, covering a wide area, only more than 500 meters away from the big east gate of Guangzhou City, due north is a Dianjiangtai that has undergone countless times of destruction and reconstruction, the left and right sides of Dianjiangtai and the back side are all rows of barracks of blue bricks and gray tiles and independent courtyards.

At this moment, there are thousands of civilians carrying out intense repair and construction work, but the two compounds assigned to the Quartermaster Department on the northeast side are the most intact, not only with reasonable layout and sufficient warehouses, but also with barracks and small playgrounds that can accommodate 500 officers and men stationed for training.

"The north of the school is the traffic artery leading to the east of Guangdong and Hong Kong and Kowloon, and the east wall is separated by the incense of the thriving Puji Temple and Yongsheng Temple. Out of the south gate of the school is the increasingly prosperous Fuxing Street and the bright seaside road, and then go east until the small east gate is full of green building wine shops, if you are bored, it is very convenient to go out to drink a flower wine and listen to a little song, haha! ”

Adjutant Xu, who led Zheng Yi and Zhou Junruo to visit the camp, made a joke.

Sven's Zhou Junruo smiled and didn't speak, Zheng Yi had no interest in the Qinglou wine shop, he stopped and looked around, and asked: "Brother Xu, in addition to General He Jingzhi's first division in the East Field, which department is there that wants to move in?" ”

Adjutant Xu stopped and turned around: "No, it was originally planned that the headquarters of our Huangpu Army would also be located here, but after repeated discussions, I finally chose to set up the standard camp of the former Liangguang Governor's Mansion in the city, which is the military and political center of the entire Guangzhou......"

"The standard battalion has a wide territory and complete facilities, which is enough to accommodate all departments of the headquarters and the newly formed guard regiment, if it were not for the increasing number of various materials after the expansion of our army, and the increasingly heavy transportation and storage tasks, several departments of our quartermaster department would not have been rushed here."

"However, the office of the Quartermaster Department, including the Audit Section and the General Affairs Section led by Jun Ruo, is still arranged with the headquarters, and only three departments are left in this place: ordnance, grain and uniforms, and it will be convenient after the phone is installed for a while, Xiao Yi, you don't have to go into the city every day to ask for instructions and report."

Zhou Junruo smiled with satisfaction, he is now the conductor of the "Whampoa Military Academy Soldiers' Choir", and continues to pursue his favorite music and art, he really does not want to live in this remote, damp, musty old barracks, the prosperous and prominent center of the city is the place he yearns for.

Zheng Yi didn't care, after sending off Adjutant Xu and Zhou Junruo, he returned to his own camp in the northeast corner, inspected the camp with the six chief and deputy squad leaders of the guard platoon under his command, wrote down the daily necessities that needed to be replenished and the expansion and reconstruction of the rooms, bathhouses, toilets and other matters, and finally told the brothers that he would take the opportunity of the comprehensive renovation of the entire East Arena to transform the small playground in the camp into two cement basketball courts, which immediately caused bursts of cheers.

In the following days, the units of the First Division of the Huangpu Army, which were stationed at the Huangpu Military Academy and the North Teaching Field in the middle of the city, were stationed in the East Arena one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the divisional guards under He Yingqin connected with the important task of guarding the entire East Battlefield, and the empty warehouses in the compound of the Quartermaster Department were gradually filled with various materials.

More than 10 officers of the newly established Transportation Section of the Quartermaster Department are busy in the parking lot under construction every day, enthusiastically announcing the upcoming large number of US large trucks and the planned first driver training course for the whole army, and they are eager to build a site warehouse that can accommodate 100 US large trucks within one day.

The small courtyard of the ordnance department, which is separated by a wall from the quartermaster compound in the northeast corner, has been quietly and silently renewed.

The reconstructed and expanded offices, arsenals, barracks, basketball courts, bathhouses, and new toilets have been put into use one after another, becoming the most beautiful and well-equipped independent components of the entire camp.

Due to the rapid expansion of the army, the original weapons and ammunition had long been divided up by the three divisions, the second and third batches of weapons and equipment supported by the Comintern were still on the way, and the several batches of new weapons purchased by President Chiang had not arrived, and the armory under Zheng Yi's jurisdiction was still empty, but the 46 brothers in the guard platoon under Zheng Yi did not stop training and studying for a day.

Compared with the chief officers of other ministries, the young ordnance section chief Zheng Yi is very low-key, I don't know whether the quartermaster Yu Feipeng trusts Zheng Yi too much, or there are too many affairs to spare his hands, so far no deputy section chief has been sent to the ordnance section, and the entire ordnance section is still the same.

Zheng Yi is also happy to enjoy the current leisurely life, since he used his position to complete the construction and expansion of his camp, Zheng Yi has a lot of self-control time, and his 46 brothers study hard every day, persevere, and are as loyal and diligent as Zheng Yi's personal guards.

Therefore, Zheng Yi can take the guard Duan Xuan into the city without asking anyone, either to discuss the current situation with the managers of major foreign companies such as Swire Company and Lu Phosphorus Company, to enhance understanding, or to raise a glass and exchange feelings with his friend Ade and his son, and live a very comfortable life.

However, all the silence was interrupted by the sudden sound of gunfire on the morning of 20 August, and the bad news of the assassination of Mr. Liao Zhongkai, the leader of the Kuomintang ****, the Minister of Finance of the Nationalist Government, and the representative of the Whampoa Military Academy, instantly spread everywhere.

When the news reached the East Arena, Zheng Yi was about to go to the Swire Pacific Company in the Shamian Concession, and without saying a word, he immediately issued an order for all to gather and wait for the notice, and then entered the office and asked the chief Yu Feipeng for instructions by phone.

White, who received the news of Liao Zhongkai's assassination, was also shocked, but he quickly calmed down and said with great emotion and helplessness:

According to the latest statistics of the Governor's Office, in the past two months, as many as 2,400 industrial and commercial enterprises have left Hong Kong and moved to the mainland and Southeast Asia, and the total number of industrial and commercial enterprises leaving Hong Kong has exceeded 100,000.

Zheng Yi was equally emotional: "Perhaps your fears will soon become a reality, and even if it turns out that the assassination has nothing to do with you British, the situation in Guangdong and Hong Kong will deteriorate further after this assassination, so I insist on my original view, at least for ten years, you should not expect to make huge profits in southern China." ”

White on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time: "It seems that it is time to make a decision." ”

"Have you made up your mind?" Zheng Yi asked.

White finally made his choice: "You win!" I decided to return to the Hong Kong headquarters immediately, and strive to complete the handover of the Guangzhou branch by the end of the month, if the headquarters does not accept my request, I will give up all the positions I currently hold, only retain the rights of shareholders, and then rush to Shanghai to open a new company focusing on machinery and equipment trading. ”

Zheng Yi reminded: "Don't forget the pharmaceutical trade, which is the most promising commodity in the next 20 years, and the profit is not under opium." ”

"Based on your predictions of war for the next twenty years?" White's words were full of laughter.

"For two years, I don't seem to have made any mistakes in my predictions." Zheng Yi replied proudly.

"Well, after the formation of the new company, I will not forget about your twenty percent shares." White finally relented.

"It's 30 per cent of the shares, and if you want it, I'll pay another 50,000 pounds to increase my stake to 45 per cent." Zheng Yi made further requests.

White's angry voice came immediately: "No, no! You insatiable fellow, I would like to state my attitude one last time: I will not accept your capital increase plan, and I will give you 25 percent of the shares according to the original plan, but you must guarantee to set up an influential branch in Wuhan within two years, otherwise you can only enjoy the original 20 percent of the shares. ”

"Well, I wish you all the best."

Zheng Yi, who was very concerned, put down the phone and asked Duan Xuan, the guard who was standing on the side, with a restless look, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Duan Xuan hurriedly replied: "The first division is urgently assembled and is distributing ammunition, saying that the first and third regiments were ordered to rush to the city to implement martial law, and the second regiment will open south to control the coastal docks, and it is estimated that the second division stationed in the north will also act at the same time." ”

Zheng Yi immediately put on his military hat and strode out, and soon rushed to the rear of the generals' platform, looked at the thousands of officers and soldiers concentrated on the playground with loaded guns and ammunition and He Yingqin on the general's platform, quietly walked to the artillery battalion commander Chen Cheng, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Cixiu is also going to lead the team to set off?" ”

Chen Cheng leaned slightly towards Zheng Yi: "Our artillery battalion and gendarmerie are left behind, what about you?" ”

"Chief Yu instructed the younger brother to wait for the order." Zheng Yi replied.

"You seem to have a vacant house over there, right?" Chen Cheng asked in a low voice.

Zheng Yi was stunned for a moment: "The twelve weapon warehouses are all empty, what?" Who is going to use it? ”

Chen Cheng glanced at He Yingqin, who was impassionedly mobilizing on the high platform, and whispered in Zheng Yi's ear: "The barracks on our side are either full or under repair, but your armory courtyard is the safest, go and prepare, maybe a large number of suspects will be sent soon." ”

Zheng Yi suddenly understood, patted Chen Cheng's arm and quietly left.
