Chen Xuan arrived in Shanghai at the end of June, and unlike last time, Chen Xuan returned with great fanfare, with a fleet of nearly 40 large ships alone.

The fleet also swaggered from Wusongkou to Pudong International Port, a group of mighty and majestic soldiers armed to the teeth disembarked in an orderly manner, plus Chen Xuan's personal guard regiment, there were more than 7,000 people.

In addition, there are heavy tracked armored vehicles that have never appeared before, and more than 10 of them are neatly lined up on the dock at once, followed by more than 30 heavy trucks used to transport supplies, which is spectacular for a while.

In fact, these armored vehicles are still the same, because the internal combustion engine technology has not yet reached it, so they are all some thin-skinned tanks, and a small cannon is enough to reimburse, but it can't stop its murderous aura.

Tank! How many people in the whole of China have seen it?

Chen Xuan has seen the tank developed by the British, the shape is really terrible, how can there be such a steel beauty designed by Chen Xuan!

So as soon as these tanks appeared, they shocked everyone, if they knew that Chen Xuan also had a combat group of more than 60 aircraft, then I am afraid that even the British would not be able to sleep.

Chen Qimei, who was the overseer of Shanghai at the time, led the officials and gentry and consuls of various countries to greet them on the dock, and the two brothers naturally had a lot to say when they met again, but this kind of occasion was not suitable for reminiscing, so after introducing the bigwigs from all parties, they went to the Pudong Hotel to participate in Chen Xuan's welcome banquet.

didn't even have a chance to greet Zhao Xuechu and others.

"Yiyang, that person is Yang Du Yang Huizi, we lost to him last time, he is the envoy of Beiyang this time, Shaochuan (Gu Weijun) has already contacted him, but he has not entered the topic, you see that he should also be frightened by your formation."

Du Yuesheng next to him smiled and said to Chen Xuan, under Du Yuesheng's signal, Chen Xuan saw a young man in his 30s who was looking at Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan raised his wine glass and signaled, but did not talk to him.

It's not that Chen Xuan is stingy, Yang Du is the envoy from Beiyang, of course, Gu Weijun or Han Xu first found out Yang Du's intentions, otherwise the two would have met at the beginning, and there would be no room for turning around.

The banquet is basically a polite greeting, a place to accumulate interpersonal relationships, there is nothing to say, and serious matters will not be talked about on this occasion, so soon after the banquet began, Chen Xuan said goodbye and left on the grounds that the journey was tiring.

In the conference room on the top floor of the Phoenix Hotel, the senior management of the Baath Party and Zhenhua were all present.

"Yiyang, Jiang Zhiqing, the envoy of Marshal Xiao of Annan, has also arrived in Shanghai, and has already put forward his intention to see him."

Zhao Xuechu spoke first.

"What's on their minds?"

"Like us, scare someone Yuan with great fanfare, seek profit in this coming war, and do some deals in weapons and machinery."

"Didn't Mr. Nakayama still go to Annam?"

"No," Gu Weijun shook his head, "After Mr. Zhongshan left Beijing, he actively contacted the powerful factions in various places, wanting to unite everyone to fight President Yuan together, Jiang Zhiqing came to buy the arms this time was actually bought for these powerful factions in the south, and Admiral Huang Xing was plotting against the army in Nanjing. ”

"What do the powerful factions everywhere think, that is, how many people do you estimate will support Mr. Nakayama?"

"The southern provinces are all the spheres of influence of the Revolutionary Party on the surface, and there is no problem that many of the local overseers are also revolutionaries who support them by telegram, but they cannot control the army and the localities at all, and the Progressive, Unity, and Republican parties, which are mainly constitutionalist, also support President Yuan, so we estimate that it is only a matter of time before Mr. Zhongshan fails."

"In this way, we have to thank Shen Yunkun, Huang Jian and others at the beginning, if we also launched the Northern Expedition at that time, we would also fall into the situation that Mr. Zhongshan is facing now."

Chen Xuan smiled, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Zhongshan should also know these truths, since Mr. Zhongshan knows that he will fail, he still has to organize a rebellion?"

Du Yuesheng couldn't understand the truth.

"Because if Mr. Nakayama doesn't make a fight, then the people. The party's will be completely scattered, and it will be difficult to unite again in the future. ”

Zhao Xuechu said with a sigh.

"And what if we join Mr. Nakayama's action, what will be the outcome or defeat?"

Chen Xuan asked again.

"Coupled with us and Xiao Dashuai of Annan, at most they are evenly matched, but I am afraid that there will be a war in the country for many years, and the people will not be able to make a living."

"With our strength and Xiao Jin's strength, it shouldn't be enough, right?"

Chen Xuan was a little unconvinced.

"It's not a matter of strength," Han Xu interjected, "President Yuan occupies Dayi, this kind of thing can't be seen or touched, but it really exists, President Yuan naturally can't please in the south, but when you enter the north of the Yangtze River, you will enter the sphere of influence of Beiyang and the Constitutionalists, and then we will fight very hard, our current finances are already very embarrassed, and if we fight two more wars, all the efforts of Nanyang will have to be paid in vain, and even Fujian and Pudong will be affected, if there is an invasion from other places at this time." President Yuan and we both lost, and the country was in danger at that time. ”

"What did Yang Du do when he went south this time?"

Chen Xuan asked Du Yuesheng.

"The old way, coercion and inducement."

"How's it going?"

"There are many veterans of our Baath Party who are still bewitched by Yang Du and want to make a move when we make important decisions."

"Did they report to the party headquarters, and how many local governors did we appoint?"

Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, the last betrayal incident was finally over, those who were bribed were only expelled from the party, this time Chen Xuan was not ready to be so merciful.

"Is there any evidence?"

"The evidence is conclusive!"

"Good! Hmph, they are not bewitched by anyone, they themselves are opportunistic politicians, yes, this time I will take them first and not let any of them go, really I Chen Xuan is muddy! Some people don't say I'm alone. Cut, I'm alone now. Cut, Ah Sheng, immediately issue the order and arrest these people, no matter whose brother-in-law or old brother-in-law it is, they will not plead! Brother Ji Gang (Huang Kan), you have always been responsible for the implementation of the party constitution, and this trial will be handed over to you! ”

"It's long overdue, these things that eat inside and out, really when my party's law is a decoration, the chairman rest assured, I will never wronged a good person, but I will never let go of a bad person! It's ridiculous that there are still so many deceived people in our party that we fell short last time. ”

Huang Kan was originally dissatisfied with the handling of the last incident, but now with Chen Xuan's support, he is already murderous in Chinese.

It's just that Zhang Jian's face was a little weird, sometimes blue and sometimes a little ashamed, Huang Dacang really didn't cover it, even if he knew that Zhang Jian was one of Chen Xuan's fathers-in-law, he didn't show the slightest mercy.

"I went to the capital, according to the instructions of the marshal to ask Mr. Yuan Pei to go south, but Mr. Yuan Pei refused, he said that the party's free charter, wrong is wrong, he asked to resign from the post of the Baath Party Education Committee, but will never quit the party, this time many professors and college students in the capital to Nanyang are Mr. Yuan Pei's development of party members, he also asked himself to serve as the head of the revival party in Beijing universities, please the chairman of the instructions!"

Gu Weijun went on to say that when Chen Xuan was still in Nanyang, he asked Gu Weijun to go north to pick up Cai Yuanpei, but he didn't think that Cai Yuanpei still refused, but wanted to become a nail in the renaissance party in the capital.

"Let's do it, send another telegram to Mr. Yuanpei, Nanyang is now too short of manpower, since he requires to be dealt with in accordance with the party constitution, he will be removed from the post of education commissioner, and transferred to Yingzhou Island in Nanyang as the governor, presiding over the government affairs and local development of Yingzhou, his goal is too big, not suitable for underground work, tell him, now Yingzhou is poor and white, we can give him very little help, everything depends on his own play!"

"Good! I'll go and generate electricity later. ”

"What about Mr. Bo Xun (Yu Youren), where is he now?"

"Mr. Bo Xun returned to Shanghai at the beginning of last year, and also resigned from a high-level position in the party, and now he has gone to Japan to develop the power of the Baath Party in Japan."

"Went to Japan? No wonder we have a lot of party members who have returned from studying in Japan, and they went directly to Nanyang, so if there is no proper punishment, they still can't pass the level in their hearts, so they will be punished once for not knowing anything, including Ji Lao, Ji Lao, you won't have other ideas, right? ”

Chen Xuan's last sentence was said to Zhang Jian.

"It should be like this, the old man is ashamed, he was bewitched by Yang Huizi, and he still didn't know it, and he brought huge losses to the party, but the demerit was already light."

Seeing that everyone has no objections, this decision can be regarded as overdone.

That night, the Ba'ath Party's Einsatzgruppen began arresting people everywhere, and overnight, dozens of people were arrested, most of whom were influential people in the Ba'ath Party.

Huang Kan acted resolutely, and immediately sent people to try these people, but in fact, there was nothing to try, the evidence was conclusive and irrefutable, and the verdict was pronounced in accordance with the party constitution.

In the end, these people were all expelled from the party and sent to Nanyang to serve for 3-5 years, and their superiors were also punished with major demerits because of their lack of knowledge and poor control.

There were party members who violated discipline, party newspapers circulated criticisms in cases where the circumstances were minor, those who were expelled from the party and sent to Nanyang in serious cases, and those who leaked secrets were directly executed.

The Baath Party's rectification movement naturally can't hide from others, and the Baath Party seems to be going to confront President Yuan to the end, thinking of Chen Xuan's elite soldiers and all kinds of advanced equipment.

Yang Du, who had never seen Chen Xuan, became more and more anxious, and the negotiations with Gu Weijun finally entered a substantive topic, but the requirements of the two sides were too different, and a compromise could not be reached for a while.

Moreover, Xiao Jin's side also seems to have sent an action team to cut off Beiyang's forces in the south, and the army is also gathering in Yunnan, which may attack Sichuan at any time.
