Qi Xieyuan was immediately escorted to the gunboat waiting in Xiaguan, and the battle to attack the Yuhuatai division headquarters continued, but the posture of besieging but not attacking was adopted. When the Second Brigade arrived at noon, Qi Xieyuan's Sixth Division finally surrendered. On the evening of 27 March, when there was no fighting in Jiangsu, Governor Wang Shan issued a governor's order, demanding that local militia groups and police stations maintain law and order in various localities and support the Fujin Party's entry into Jiangsu.

Qi Xieyuan was imprisoned in the Yanyang Military Academy, and during the day, Sun Xiaolan and other old subordinates visited him two or three times in succession, and at night, the elite soldiers and strong generals dispatched by the spy center took turns bombing and interrogating, and spent five consecutive days in the bright light and high-intensity interrogation.

Five days later, Hu Wenkai came to the interrogation room, personally opened the handcuffs for him, handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.

"You are Hu Wenkai?" Qi Xieyuan raised his head weakly and made a hoarse voice.

For five days, the bright light bulb could not sleep even if he wanted to sleep in front of his eyes, and as long as his eyes were closed, he was forcibly shaken awake. repeatedly asked him to explain how to secretly communicate with the Japanese to betray the country and seek glory, and Qi Xieyuan had reached the point of collapse.

"I'm Hu Wenkai, it stands to reason that I don't want to come to see you, for the sake of Cao Kun and Wu Peifu's face, I will show you a way to live."

"The winner is king, and the loser is the villain, and I don't plan to live, so please do it."

Hu Wenkai picked up the telegram on the table and read: On 3 February, the Japanese consul in Shanghai went to Nanjing to discuss the loan with Qi Xieyuan, and on 12 February, the special commissioner of the Japanese National Military Department in Shanghai went to Nanjing to discuss the joint elimination of the Jiangsu Fujin Party with the Anhui faction and Lu Yongxiang. On 20 February, Japan reached a loan of 24 million yuan with Qi Xieyuan, and Qi Xieyuan and other forces attacked southern Jiangsu, Nantong, and Haimen Fujin Party, and transferred the Haimen factory to Japan free of charge.

"You can die a happy death, but I can leave you stinking for 10,000 years, and your children will never look up."

Qi Xieyuan stared at his bloodshot eyes and shouted, "Hu Wenkai, what do you want to do?" How can you do this? ”

"Qi Xieyuan, you must know that you are preparing to sell the Chinese industrial bases in Haimen and Nantong, this is a traitorous act, to put it bluntly, you are a traitor. I can publish all your dealings with Japanese people on the declaration, and make your whole family a street rat. ”

"Hu Wenkai, you are too ruthless, what do you want me to do." Qi Xieyuan sat slumped in his chair, and he had no confidence to refuse any request from Hu Wenkai.

"First, we sentence you to 10 years in prison and house arrest in a barracks, and your family can visit you 12 times a year. Second, keep your possessions to your family. Thirdly, your traitorous behavior will only be publicized on a small scale. ”

"What do you want me to do? Mr. Hu: "Qi Xieyuan was obviously relaxed.

"First, truthfully write about how you colluded with the Japanese, the Anhui family, and Lu Yongxiang to betray national interests. Second, if you make a statement admitting your guilt, you can of course omit a deal with Japan. Third, appease your men and exhort them to serve the people of Jiangsu. Hu Wenkai motioned for the guards to make a cup of tea and bring paper and pens.

"Qi Xieyuan, I have limited time, and I will only give you one hour to think about it, otherwise I will see your name in the declaration." Hu Wenkai snuffed out his cigarette and left the interrogation room.

Three days later, Qi Xieyuan attended a press conference presided over by Wang Shan and the speaker of the parliament, in which Wang Shan gave a detailed account of the fact that Qi Xieyuan, the overseer of the army in Jiangsu, colluded with the Anhui faction and Lu Yongxiang to prepare for the attack on southern Jiangsu and Nantong, and in order to prevent the people of Jiangsu from inviting war in vain, the only way to nip the war in the bud was to take the initiative. Wang Shan held up a document listing Qi Xieyuan's collusion with troops from other provinces to prepare for a bloody sweep in southern Jiangsu.

The reporters in the audience and some of Qi Xieyuan's subordinates who came to listen were stunned, but they didn't expect Qi Xieyuan to prepare a bloody bath in southern Jiangsu. From time to time, reporters asked questions, most of which focused on the authenticity of the documents, and Qi Xieyuan, who was sitting on the side, took the initiative to admit that it was true.

In the end, Qi Xieyuan made a confession speech, saying that he deserved to be tried by the people of Jiangsu, and advised the old ministry to abandon his previous hostile prejudices and devote himself to the construction of Jiangsu, and that he would do a good job in reforming himself and strive to come out and become a new man as soon as possible.

The full-page report of the Jiangsu government in Nanjing pointed out that the punishment of Qi Xieyuan was in accordance with the law and reasonable, reflecting that the Jiangsu government is a government under the rule of law. Zhejiang's Lu Yongxiang and Anhui issued a statement accusing Qi Xieyuan of fabricating facts or the Jiangsu government's false accusations. However, after the publication of documents signed by the three parties, there was no longer any excuse.

Liang Qichao said to Wu Hongxia that Hu Wenkai's behavior won the hearts of the people, even Cao Kun could not say anything, according to the practice of Chinese warlords, directly executed Qi Xieyuan during the firefight, but Hu Wenkai reserved Qi Xieyuan's life and treated his family well, and the press conference made the teacher famous.

Comrade Lao Liang never thought that his student Hu Wenkai was a demon who came over more than 90 years later, and he was familiar with playing with social conditions and public opinion. The radio station explained for half an hour every day that the reason for the Fujin Party's dispatch of troops was to save the people of Jiangsu from the flames of war.

At this time, Hu Wenkai was in Pukou, on the other side of Nanjing, to convene a review meeting of the officers participating in the battle, and in a battle of ordinary intensity, more than 100 soldiers were killed and more than 300 wounded, and the overwhelming firepower struck the advanced offensive formation, and the advanced weapons that have not been seen in the world so far still suffered such heavy casualties.

Restoring the situation on the battlefield, the soldiers of the 3rd Brigade of the barracks were followed by tank armored vehicles, and he stopped Han Xiaojun and asked: "You will not use mortars and machine guns to disrupt the assembly of the opposing soldiers in the barracks?" Han Xiaojun: I ask you, what are the mortars and machine guns used for decoration? Charging with only rifles? Do you think it's the Qing Dynasty soldiers? ”

"If you want to destroy the enemy's morale with superior firepower on the battlefield, why don't you fight with broadswords and spears? The courage of a horseman. ”

"There is also the battle to attack the Liangjiang Governor's Palace, you are equipped with special agents, you are actually used as soldiers, how do you have a long head? The plan of action is very simple: first, use the special agents to immerse themselves in the governor's palace, carry out special kills, etc., and when chaos breaks out, use tanks to rush and soldiers to follow. ”

One by one, the officers thought that they had won the battle, and they were proud to occupy Nanjing and Xuzhou with only a few hundred casualties, and in the mouth of the boss, it became an out-and-out defeat. If you think about it carefully, you really didn't command well, and you didn't give full play to your firepower advantage and the specialties of the special agents.

"Each of you should write an experience on the gains and losses of this battle, summarize the lessons and find the shortcomings, and continue to hold a meeting tomorrow to read the experience on the stage, and everyone will analyze the gains and losses together."

Hu Wenkai grabbed his hat on the table, put it on, walked out of the room, and went to the temporary station of the heavy armored regiment in Pukou to inspect the preparations before departure.

Ten kilometers from the Pukou railway station, a large military exclusion zone was demarcated, and soldiers were busy scrubbing and maintaining their chariots. Gao Jinchang was directing the soldiers to carry fuel and ammunition supplies.

"Jin Chang, have the ten soldiers who went to the engine factory for training returned?"

"The boss is back, I'm going to bring three with me this time."

"Well, you have to remember that in this long-distance operation, once there is a problem with the tank, it will be troublesome if it can't be repaired."

"Boss, I know that if there is a tank that cannot be repaired, it will also be brought back, and if it is not brought back, it will be blown up and buried deeply."

"You are assigned ten special service members, you know their mission, your most critical task this time is to tear through the defense line and then penetrate deep into the rear of the direct army, attack their supply lines and arms storage sites, and there is also a side mission Staff to tell you."

"Report to the boss, my regiment must collect the local inventory of gold, silver, and valuable everywhere we go, and wait for our plane to transport it back."

Hu Wenkai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, the operation should be kept secret, and every time you go to a place, you will first establish an airstrip landing site, and the radio will give you a few more." ”

"The boss is assured that all the people who participated in the action this time are members of the Fujin Party, and all of them have written a letter of determination before participating in the action."

"Waiting for the departure order, the special task force has already set out in advance to monitor the safety along the railway. I estimate that I will receive the departure order in about ten days. ”

Dai Jitao and Wu Hongxia were as busy as ants on a hot pot, and Hu Wenkai asked Nanjing and other places not to be in a hurry to accept them, but Xuzhou must send 200 cadres to accept them within a week and be included in the jurisdiction of the Fujin Party. Every time the boss gave an order, they had to be busy for a long time, and after 200 people got together, Chen Jiaxiang and Wei Qijun carried out a three-day pre-job training.

On 8 April, a short message was published in the report, and Feng Yuxiang, the overseer of Shaanxi, was assassinated on the way to the Tongguan military camp. The two sides engaged in a war of words, secretly arranging their own troops.

Old Pete held a Merlin 12-cylinder, supercharged, liquid-cooled, 60°C, piston aircraft engine "V-shaped" plagiarized by Hu Wenkai, and his eyes lit up. Bore: 5.4" (137 mm), Stroke: 6.0 in (152 mm) Displacement: 1,647 m³ (27 L) Valve: Overhead camshaft, two intake valves per cylinder, sodium-cooled exhaust stem and two exhaust valves. Supercharger: two-speed, two-stage. The boost is automatically linked to the throttle, the second stage between the aftercooler and the engine coolant air pressure. Power output: 1290 hp.

Hu Wenkai asked: "Old Pete, don't you be busy studying the compression ratio first, can you create an answer?" ”

"Why can't you make it? A week later you come to see the samples. Boss, don't bother me now. Old Pete gave Hu Wenkai an expulsion order without raising his head.

Hu Wenkai shook his head and left this technical idiot, and the Sparrow small transport plane was finalized and put into mass production. The first export order was Carl's father's public utilities holding company, Hu Wenkai warned the company that only when the product goes to the market can its value be tested, not like the old rich man in Shanxi, what treasure has to be hidden so what we build the plane, through the feedback of the civilian market use can be a good way to improve the manufacturing process, in a word, as long as you give money to sell anything.

It takes money to set up an enterprise, to build roads, to run compulsory education, to raise troops, and that the R&D center is also the main money-burner, and it also needs money to pay salaries to tens of thousands of employees, and the money spent every month is a huge expense.

At present, there are three stalls, one is the industry under the name of Xingye Industry, the other is the many small enterprises and oil refineries and chemical plants under the Fujin Party, and the other is the chamber of commerce in various places.

Hu Wenkai did not have the joy of taking Nanjing at this time, because there was a governor Wang Shan in front of him, and it was impossible for him to abolish Wang Shan and support his own people. Wang Shan has the grace of knowing herself, and the directors of each hall are inextricably linked with the Fujin Party, so you can't unload the mill and kill the donkey. Now he is in the position of riding a tiger, and Nanjing has been captured, but he cannot effectively occupy it.
