Xu Gangchuan finally became famous once, although for various reasons, he did not immediately become famous in the world, even so, there are still many people who remember his name, people exclaimed "Xixing has entered Shanghai", and after a simple scrutiny, people are amazed that the Li family is going to "expand" again, and at the same time, people are surprised that the Li family has another womanizer! Just after the Spring Festival, Kang Shilin returned to Shanghai, visited the maiden homes of his two wives, and formally proposed to the two families, making it clear that his status as a child of the Li family and his lifelong attitude of being with his wife who could not get married. Immediately afterwards, Li Mengze called from Beijing again, clarifying the attitude of the Li family, and the relationship between the two sides was officially confirmed! On March 4, 40, Shanghai Donglu Company officially announced the merger of the whole company into Xixing Trading Company, the announcement said that Xixing Trading Company was completely empty of Lu Company, Donglu as a branch of the business of each branch of the trading company in Shanghai, and Huang Yunfei continued to serve as the general manager of the reorganized and expanded Donglu Company. The people of Shanghai were first surprised by this announcement, surprised by Xu Gangchuan, and then shocked by the fact that this matter was *...... No matter how people evaluate this matter, Xu Gangchuan feels satisfied, the Shanghai business that has been withheld for many years has finally been solved, and the years of waiting have finally come to fruition, which is enough, as for how many people in Shanghai or the whole country remember him, he doesn't care, because he is not a person who values fame and fortune!

Xu Gangchuan doesn't care what people say about him, and is willing to live his low-key business life, but in fact, he can't be as low-key as before. There are not many comments about the Li family's "polygamy" again, but the comments on Xixing Trading Company can be seen everywhere and gradually become conspicuous! People thought of the result of this matter, the West Star Trading Company annexed the Donglu Company, and what did the East Continent Company do, how big it was, people soon knew, and such a huge commercial company turned out to be just a branch of the West Star, so how big is the West Star Commercial Company? Everyone's statistics, are shocked, unconsciously, Xixing's trading company has opened all over the country, becoming a national commercial company, branches all over the country's major cities, hundreds of cities, thousands of business branches, and are all large shops, such a company can not be strong? Is such a huge company still a small company, is this still the "small company" that was not favored a few years ago? People marvel that Xixing has created another miracle, a miracle of the rise of a business empire! And as the head of this business empire, people don't talk about Xu Peng, Xu Peng, who has read Huajia, has not been taken seriously, so it is that young man, a young man who has just passed the year of establishment, the Xu family, no, should be an important figure in the younger generation of the Li family. From this point on, Xu Gangchuan established the image of his second-generation important figure in the minds of the Li family, and those who did not know thought that he was a worker of the Li family, but those who knew knew that he had become the pioneer and manager of the important industry of the Li family!

For Xu Gangchuan's sudden rise, the older generation is very happy, Xu Peng is happy, Li Yudong is happy, and Li Mengze is also happy...... This is an important masterpiece for their next generation, can they not be happy? From now on, Lee can enter the big market of retail in a big way, and it is no longer a simple manufacturing king, and their company directory* is engraved with the logo of a service giant, which will help the fairy to develop faster and bigger. Although the assets of Xixing Trading Company are not very large, not as good as the three major industries of fairies, nor as good as Xixing Real Estate Company, but this is only the beginning, the economic crisis is not completely over, the company has just been established, as a deputy forward, it is enough. In the eyes of the high-level people of the fairy and the West Star, the West Star Trading Company will be a huge special edge, and its huge sharpness is not weaker than any other company, and it will become a huge assistant to the fairy and the West Star industry, especially to lay a solid foundation for the fairy to continue to move forward.

If you ask people what is the biggest amazing thing about fairies in China during the economic crisis, people will not say fairy biotechnology companies, because everyone realizes that fairies will enter this huge market industry, and they should be able to enter easily; Nor would it be said that the fairy had entered the banking industry, and it was thought that this was the path that the fairy would definitely take, even though the fairy had not intended to enter the banking industry; People will not say that the fairy has entered the food industry, although the fairy food has made great progress in recent years, and at the end of March 40, it was integrated into the seagull company, a large company in Shanghai, and even the "food king" entered the fairy together, what people want to say is that the fairy (West Star) has made a huge breakthrough in the retail industry. Xixing Commercial Company, which has been unknown for 30 years, suddenly shines and becomes one of the most widely distributed commercial companies in the country, with branches in major cities across the country, becoming an instant rising giant in the retail industry! This is the biggest surprise that the fairy brings to people, from then on, in the major industries of the Li family, there is a commercial company, from now on, people no longer dare to underestimate the "cowardice" of Xixing in the commercial field!

Xu Gangchuan's sudden rise also made people realize that in addition to their own surname, the Li family also has a powerful Xu family, before people said fairies, they mentioned the Li family, and people said Xixing, they mentioned the Li family, the Li family, the Wang family and the Xu family; Later, the Wang family was not mentioned much, and gradually the Xu family was not taken seriously, and people seemed to have forgotten the Xu family and the Wang family. However, the sudden rise of Xixing Trading Company has made people pay attention to the Xu family again, and the Xu family is actually not weak at all, especially among the many children of the Li family who are in the limelight, Xu Gangchuan is like a dazzling pearl, emitting a brilliant brilliance, confirming to people the strength of the Li family's sideline! Since the Xu family is so strong, what about the Wang family, what about the Li family, even if their generation is not strong, can it mean that their descendants are not strong, since the Xu family can be strong, then how can the other two families not be strong? People can't help but be full of anticipation!

If the trading company is the deputy of the two major company systems of Fairy and Xixing, then, as the third surname of the Li family, will it be the deputy of the Li family? People can't help but think, the Li family is already very powerful, if there are strong people with the three surnames to cooperate, wouldn't it be even more powerful, perhaps, despising the Li family's sidelines, just like despising the fairy and Xixing's sideline, will be taught a serious lesson.

The fairy is so rich, what is impossible!

During the Spring Festival this year, the Li family's compound was spent in tension.

The Spring Festival after the chaos should not have been like this, and it should be celebrated peacefully. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xu Gangchuan left Beijing and made an appointment with Sun Yaxuan's mother in Shanghai. As for this temporary assigned task, Li Yudong couldn't cry or laugh, Xu Peng was even more annoyed, and even claimed that he could go on a trip; Both of them know that the "food king" is not a master to be messed with, and he will definitely not give a good face to visitors, especially for these young people, but he can't resist someone's "bitter heart". But that day caused Anqi's pain and sadness, because she had never been scolded so harshly by her father since she was a child, of course someone didn't want to do this, although she said that she was someone's daughter, but now she is the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and she must not be bullied! Wang Yifei was angry at his daughter, which caused a strong reaction in the Li family compound, and almost everyone was indignant, that kind of posture made the perpetrators feel afraid, worried about what losses his father would suffer, and then he heard his father-in-law quarreling with his father indiscriminately, which made the little girl in a dilemma! It was not the Li family who blamed the "food king", everyone came to comfort and encourage this little brother and sister, but it was reassuring that Shanghai soon sent back new news, and the compound was quiet again! But the Li family did not settle down because of this, and something bigger caused the whole family to be nervous!

February 18, 40, the tenth day of the first month of the traditional Chinese lunar year, is an unusual day! On this day, thousands of people who are on family visit leave were urgently recalled to the troops, air force units, officers and soldiers on family visit leave during the Spring Festival, army units, officers and soldiers on family visit leave at home, and officers and soldiers of the Navy who were on family visit leave at home were urgently recalled to the troops according to batches! This is the first time in recent decades in the republic!

On February 18, people in the Li family compound received an urgent notice through television, radio, the Internet and newspapers almost simultaneously that "the servicemen should immediately end their vacation and return to the army within xx hours"! For a while, the hearts of the entire Li family were raised, and the reasons why the soldiers were called back to the battalion were also known, and their two sons were among the first batch of emergency recalls. Lin *, a captain pilot of the 2nd Navy Division, was asked to leave for his troops within 12 hours, and Liang Bokang, a major and deputy battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Marine Corps, was asked to return to his troops within 24 hours! The old and young of the Li family have set their eyes on the two soldiers who are ready to go, they are the relatives of the entire Li family, they are about to return to the army, and they are likely to participate in the war, the cruelty of modern warfare, everyone knows very well, and the importance of the Air Force and the role of the Marine Corps everyone knows it! No matter what the considerations, it will not be easy for the real Li family, but no matter what the reason, the two young soldiers will soon rush to the barracks! Four hours after receiving the notice, Liang Bokang and Lin* had already boarded flights to Shanghai and Guangzhou, respectively; Five minutes after receiving the notice, the flight tickets to Shanghai and Guangzhou had already been booked, and with almost no delay, the two soldiers of the Li clan began to say goodbye to their relatives in Beijing! Despite the heavy mood of the elderly, the complicated expressions of the mothers and aunts, and the resignation of the young women, the men of the Li family, whether they are old people who are over the age of sixtieth birthday or young people who have not yet graduated from college, have only resolute ...... in their eyes

On this day, it was not only the two young men of the Li family who bid farewell to their relatives, but also thousands of young people from different families who stepped out of their homes without hesitation, or took planes, trains, or high-speed buses to rush back to their troop stations. There are even some units whose first troops have already been dispatched, and the destinations are several provinces and cities in southern China. In almost less than five days, the entire province of Guangzhou and Guangxi has been turned into a huge military camp, as well as a staging place for a large number of military columns! Numerous military airfields have transferred various types of aircraft, such as fighters, bombers, reconnaissance planes, and even tanker planes and early warning planes, which have been transferred from all parts of the country. In the entire southern region, air traffic control was implemented on the afternoon of the 18th, and at this time, Lin*'s flight happened to fly over Hunan Province and entered the air traffic control area. Lin was one of the first officers and men to rush back to the Second Naval Aviation Division after receiving the notice, less than 10 hours after receiving the order. When Bo Kang arrived at the station, it was less than 12 hours after receiving the notice, and when he arrived at the station, he found that the already crowded station was even more crowded, and many troops were already urgently changing their equipment, and even some troops were about to leave the station, and the second battalion where they belonged had also been urgently mobilized......

On February 20, 40, China announced an all-round blockade of Taiwan Province, and at the same time, issued a stern warning to certain countries in Southeast Asia, "seriously demanding" certain countries to stop their provocative actions and "restrain the domestic situation"! On the 21st, a certain destroyer detachment of China's South China Sea Fleet had a fierce naval confrontation with a certain Southeast Asian country, and in less than an hour, more than 20 advanced fighters from the two countries gathered over the fleet.

At 13:14 pm on the 21st, the Philippine fleet "misfired" a naval gun; At 13:14:23, three fighter planes on the Chinese side each fired two air-to-air missiles, and two seconds later, more than 20 fighter jets over the two fleets that were facing each other fired a total of 40 missiles, and by 15 minutes, eight planes had crashed over the fleet! Two minutes later, only five fighters with the red "1 August" logo were left in the air. At the same time as the fierce battle in the air, the two fleets on the sea were also fiercely attacking each other, and the missiles were quickly launched, but all of them were ship-to-ship missiles, and not a single missile was fired into the air, and in less than four minutes, almost every warship was dressed in brilliant colors, and the distance was too close, and there was no time to evade it, and the ship-borne air defense facilities could not play an effective role at all. Subsequently, the Philippine fleet began to try to escape from the theater of operations, but by 13:33 it had lost power and began to sink; The Chinese fleet was also scarred and incapacitated, and after rescuing 10 pilots who had fallen into the water, it "slowly" sailed in the direction of its own fleet. After flying in a formation in the direction of the Philippine fleet's escape for one minute, the five fighters in the air hurriedly turned back and quickly left the battlefield. It wasn't until 20 minutes later that six Philippine warplanes flew over the battle area, but all they saw was the rough sea, many Navy officers and sailors in lifeboats, and the sinking destroyer!

The afternoon of February 21, 40, is known as the beginning of the outbreak of the Southeast Asian War. The battle on that day was extremely fierce, each side had a ship, and at the same time each had 12 fighters involved, and after nearly 5 minutes of confrontation in the air, the battle began, which was known as the "first joint naval and air battle" of the Southeast Asian War! As a result of the battle on the sea, a destroyer on the Philippine side sank, with 246 officers and men on board, 62 killed, 35 wounded, and two others missing; The Chinese ship had 18 dead and 54 wounded, and the remaining 167 were intact, but the ship was also incapacitated, and after two days of slow sailing, it returned to its home port with 18 dead, 58 wounded and 172 intact, and from then on, it was not until June that he made a second voyage! As a result of the battle in the air, five Chinese planes pursued for one minute in the direction where the enemy planes fled, and the specific casualties were: a total of three Chinese planes were shot down in the war zone, two planes were seriously injured, and they returned to the base under the escort of two friendly planes, one of the planes flew for 30 minutes, because the pilot was seriously injured and could not continue to control the flight, and had to parachute to escape (rescued by a submarine cruising nearby), with a total loss of 4 aircraft; A total of 6 planes of the Philippine combat squad were shot down over the theater of operations, three were wounded, one of them escaped in time and successfully escaped, the remaining two were eventually shot down, and the rest of the fighters scattered and fled. Of the nine pilots who fell into the water in the early stage, two pilots from the Chinese side were injured, one of them was seriously injured, while only two of the six pilots from the Philippines were slightly injured. In the whole battle, the Philippines lost eight warplanes, the Chinese lost only four, and the Chinese captured six pilots.

This was the outcome of the first battle in Southeast Asia, with the ratio of naval casualties on both sides being 72 to 97, the ratio of dead to 18 to 62, the ratio of losses of fighters to 5 to 9, the ratio of losses of pilots to 3 to 6, and the ratio of injuries to 3 to 2. It should be said that the Chinese side won both on the sea and in the air, and the outbreak of the war and the results of the first battle were quickly reported, and the Chinese official said that "the Philippines provoked the war", and they won the counterattack; The Philippines claimed that "China provoked the war" and that "the responsibility for the war should be borne by the Chinese side"! But no matter what the facts are, at 13:30 pm on February 21, 40, China declared war on the Philippines, and almost at the same time, the Philippines declared war on China, and the Southeast Asian War officially broke out, and it expanded rapidly in the following days, developing into a world local war that swept the entire Southeast Asia!

The Chinese Navy participating in the First World War was subordinate to the South China Sea Fleet, and it was the naval aviation, the so-called shore-based aviation, that it was the naval aviation that participated in the air confrontation and decided the outcome of the First World War! The HNA unit that participated in the air battle was the 3rd Flying Regiment of the 2nd HNA Division, and the seventeenth son of the Li family, the whole world's Fengyun family, participated in this air duel.
