I thought I could accompany my wife and children the next day, but I didn't expect that because I was going back to China, many things needed to be arranged.

Throughout the day, Chen Xuan's visitors to his house were not interrupted, and Xia Yunru's telegraph office also rang with Didi for a day, constantly accepting instructions and issuing instructions, and did not stop until late at night.

"Marshal, the returning army has been assembled!"

"Marshal, the navy can arrive at Phoenix Harbor tonight!"

"Report to the marshal, Zhang Education Chang (Zhang Jian) is calling, you can leave at any time!"

"Dashuai, the government affairs arrangement plans have been sent out, and all localities have also given replies!"

"Dashuai, there is a call from Shanghai, the Beiyang government has sent an envoy over, and he has arrived in Shanghai, Foreign Minister Gu (Gu Weijun) asks for instructions on whether to contact?"

"Dashuai, Annan Xiao Dashuai called and asked about Dashuai's behavior?"

"Marshal, Minister Chen (Chen Qicai) of the Logistics Department has called, the arms, weapons, grain and grass have been prepared and loaded onto the ship!"

。。。。。

Chen Xuan felt like when he moved in his previous life, he usually felt that there was nothing at home, but when he moved, he received a lot of money, and he didn't know if it was useful.

It was the Minister of the Navy Yan Fu who led the navy to Nanyang, and it was said that since Chen Xuan met Yan Fu for the first time in Qinghe Garden, he had never seen this old man who studied the navy and became a civilian official, and later came to Chen Xuan's side to be the commander of the navy.

Seeing Yan Fu, I don't know if it was because of the braids and the military uniform on the ship, Chen Xuan's first feeling was that he had become younger, and the fifty-seven or eighteen-year-old man looked energetic and capable, and was talking to Ma Xiangbo who stayed in Nanyang.

"Gong Ling, we're meeting again!"

Chen Xuan stepped forward to say hello with a smile.

"Good marshal, Yan Fu, commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, led 25 warships to escort the ship, including 3 7,000-ton battleships, 9 frigates, and 13 destroyers, please show the marshal!"

Chen Xuan never thought that for a long time, Yan Fu Yan Youling gave himself a standard military salute as soon as they met, and the solid subordinate salute made Chen Xuan stunned for a while, and only after a while did he speak:

"Youling Gong, why do you have to do this, you are my teacher's best friend, how dare the younger generation accept your old man's courtesy?"

"The marshal said that he was different, there was no love in the army, thanks to the marshal's refusal to give up, he was reinstated as the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, and he never dared to mess with the rules of the army!"

Yan Fu's words were loud, Chen Xuan didn't dare to postpone it any longer, straightened his military hat, and returned the salute honestly.

"Commander Yan, what is the current situation of the water master?"

"Answer Shuai, the Navy Division has incorporated a lot of former Qing Dynasty ships, but most of them are old and dilapidated, and can only be used inland and the Yangtze River waterway, currently by the Navy Wang Xuefu, and the Bali Navy Base has the same number of new ships, mainly responsible for the cruise and escort work of the three islands in the South Seas, the deputy commander co-ordinated, and the 25 ships that he came to receive this time are all new ships purchased from Europe and our self-made destroyers."

"What kind of ships can our shipyard build?"

"Back to Dashuai, at present, Pudong, Nanyang shipyard mainly build civilian ships and warship spare parts, these two factories can produce 8,000 tons of merchant passenger ships, 10,000 tons of giant ships are also in preparation for trial construction, Fujian shipyard mainly assembles warships, and now can successfully produce more than 2,000 tons of destroyers, is in trial production of 3-4,500 tons of frigates, battleships are still in the research and development stage!"

"Good! Don't be arrogant or impatient, step by step, the navy is doing a good job, Commander Yan, you go and busy yourself, we'll talk on the ship! ”

"Yes!"

Yan Fu saluted, and Chen Xuan also returned the salute.

"Yiyang, Youling is reminding you, most of your troops are from the previous escort team, so the concept of superiors and subordinates is not clear, this is not what an elite division embodies, friendship is friendship, rules are rules, you must not be careless."

Ma Xiangbo said meaningfully to Chen Xuan, several officers behind Chen Xuan were red-faced, and several of them were senior generals from the escort team.

"The teacher's teachings, the students dare not or hope, this time to return to China, I don't know when I can return, pay attention to the teacher's body, the students are still waiting for the teacher's teachings."

"I don't have much to teach you about your current abilities and knowledge, I just hope that you don't forget the original intention of founding the Ba'ath Party, and try to breathe a sigh of relief for our suffering people, by the way, I will introduce you to someone."

Ma Xiangbo said and pulled a young man in his 30s next to him over, and said happily to Chen Xuan:

"His name is Ma Junwu, the word is Houshan, he has studied at Aurora College for a few months, has studied at Kyoto University and Berlin University of Technology in Japan, and returned to China at the end of the year before last (1911), he has always studied industry, and is one of the founders of the League, because of some conflicts with some ideas of the Kuomintang, and heard that I was in Nanyang, so I came south to visit me, and I have traveled all over the three islands of Nanyang in the past few months."

Ma Junwu, a great talent, the first doctor of engineering in China to study in Germany, Chen Xuan does not know the national. What is wrong with the party, such a professional talent, he actually let others do diplomacy, and he wasted all his talents, and he had to find a way to keep him.

"It turned out to be the senior brother, the younger brother is rude, please forgive the senior brother!"

Chen Xuan was overjoyed and saluted Ma Junwu.

"The handsome courtesy, how can Junwu stand it! I have long heard that there is a great talent under the teacher, but I have never met each other, and I never thought that I would see it today. ”

"Senior brother, you are older than Chen Xuan, and you started earlier than me, so you are naturally a senior brother, and the senior brother is not a member of the army, what can you afford to bear, in the future, the senior brother will call me Yiyang like Senior Brother Heqing (Cai Yuanpei)!"

"Good! Then I won't postpone it. ”

The two brothers saw each other again, and they were very happy.

"Yiyang, I have met Senior Brother Heqing and Senior Brother Boxun, they are very self-blaming for their decisions during the North-South peace talks, because they are afraid to see you, so they know that the teacher is in Nanyang, and they don't dare to come over to say hello, my senior brother, what hurdle can't be overcome?"

Ma Junwu dragged Chen Xuan aside and said softly.

"Senior Brother Houshan, in fact, the younger brother also considered this matter later, as one of the founders of the Chinese people and the Baxing Party, the decision of the two senior brothers was not wrong in the slightest, but, but they are my senior brothers, we are brothers, when I needed them the most, they went to the opposite side of me, so that the Baxing Party was almost wiped out, and we later agreed to give Jiangxi and Zhejiang and Jiangsu parts to Beiyang, not our generosity, we are helpless!"

"Yiyang, in fact, senior brother said something unpleasant, you are not suitable to be a political leader, you pay too much attention to affection, and as a political leader, you need absolute sanity, any taken for granted may put you and your career in a catastrophe, since you are preparing for the Northern Expedition, you should communicate with everyone, not what you think others will think!"

"Senior Brother Houshan, I have been taught, but I, Chen Xuan, have come to this day because I am affectionate enough, you may not know, the predecessor of the Baath Party, the Fuxing Society, was forced to come up by several of my brothers, I never thought about throwing my head and spilling blood to join any revolutionary party, if one day, I need to choose between love and politics, I will leave by myself, Senior Brother Heqing and Senior Brother Bo Xun are okay, this time I will arrange for people to go north and invite them back, there are too many things in Nanyang, not for us people to support."

"By the way, Senior Brother Houshan, I heard from the teacher that you have been in Nanyang for two or three months, and the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, what do you think of Nanyang?"

"To tell the truth, after the peace talks between the north and the south, I went to Liangguang and Annam, at that time I thought that Xiao Dashuai's system plan was the best in the world, but after I arrived in Nanyang, I found that I was short-sighted, Mr. Zhongshan called you and Xiao Dashuai the Republic of China, and the local governance has its own merits, but Xiao Dashuai's alliance is a lot of old stubbornness, and the efficiency of doing things is far less than that of Nanyang, Yiyang is really talented, not only first-class military, but also governing the place is not let by others!"

Ma Junwu exclaimed.

"Senior Brother Houshan has an overreputation, what kind of talent does Chen have, the situation in Nanyang relies on a group of like-minded people to support and work hard, what does it have to do with Chen Xuan, by the way, Senior Brother, you are an industrial talent, how did you think of doing diplomacy?"

Ma Junwu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Nanjing Provisional Government. After the establishment of the government, a group of bigwigs only knew how to compete for power and profit, and they had no intention of developing industry at all. ”

"What are your plans for the future?"

"What? You want to recruit me? ”

Ma Junwu said with a smile.

"It's not a solicitation, it's an invitation, Nanyang is not Chen Xuan's private property, it's the result of our group of like-minded people working together, our group of people just want to breathe a sigh of relief for the country and expand the living space for the suffering people, so senior brother, I hope you will also join this cause, not because you are a national. Party members have some concerns, and now the eldest brother (Song Jiaoren) is also in Nanyang, and he is also contributing to this cause! ”

"What? Escape in the South Seas? It's really good, he disappeared without a trace after the assassination in Shanghai, it must be your handiwork, where is he, I want to meet him. ”

"Senior brother, haven't you agreed to stay with us?"

"Hehe, you kid, don't even give me time to think about it, say, what do you want me to do?"

"Minister of Nanyang Industry, management and planning of Nanyang's industrial development, and at the same time lead Nanyang Machinery Research Institute, research and development of new machinery, our manpower is too small, the conditions are poor, if the senior brother agrees, I am afraid that I will have to suffer in the future."

"Hehe, I thought you kid was an honest man, and now you are blocking me with words, if I don't agree, it means that I am afraid of suffering, by the way, I forgot to tell you, although I am one of the founders of the League, I have not joined the revolution. Party. ”
