When Wang Peng arrived at the port, the American passenger ship that set sail from Honolulu was hanging in the harbor, and the port was already crowded with people at this time, and the rickshaw that Yang Wangpeng was riding could not enter the port at all, so he had to stop at a far distance from the port.

Although the local Chinese-language newspaper had already published the news that Mr. Sun of the League was about to arrive in Sumatra, the Chinese who rushed to the port today did not come to greet Mr. Sun. They had come to meet the Chinese naval fleet that had rushed here from China for ocean-going exercises. The fleet arrived an hour earlier than the American passenger ship on which Mr. Sun was on and anchored at Pier 5, so the most crowded at Pier 5 is now the most crowded, and as for Pier 1, where the American passenger ship was berthed, it was not very crowded.

It is precisely because of this that when Yang Wangpeng walked into the port. When he arrived at Pier No. 1, the American passenger ship that Mr. Sun was on was docking with the assistance of a tugboat, and at the same time, another passenger ship was being towed far away by a tugboat, this passenger ship was carrying Chinese immigrants, and now the immigrants have disembarked, some have left the dock, but others are still stranded on the pier, so even Pier 1 is not empty now, but compared to Pier 5, this place is indeed a lot more deserted. Neither the military music nor the clamor of the people could be heard.

Yang Wangpeng hurried to the pier, stood on a high place and looked at the American passenger ship that was approaching the dock, but he couldn't find the person he wanted to pick up for a moment, so he had to wait patiently on the pier.

Fifteen minutes later, the passengers on the passenger ship began to disembark along the trestle one after another, Yang Wangpeng stood by the trestle, his eyes wandering the crowd, and beside him, there were some other people who came to greet Mr. Sun, most of them were cadres and members of the local alliance, and the number was not large, just more than ten people, and they were the same as Yang Wangpeng. The expressions on his face were a little complicated, and from time to time he looked at the side of Pier No. 5, looking enviously at the Chinese Navy's ocean-going fleet with a whistle.

This is not the first time that the Chinese Navy's ocean-going fleet has visited Sumatra, in fact, more than two years ago, a Chinese ocean-going strike fleet visited Sumatra, and that time, shortly after the end of the Sino-Japanese War in Northeast Asia. The task of the fleet was to provide escort for the transfer of Chinese people from Malaya, and the commander of the fleet was General Lu Ping, and the commander of the fleet who led the fleet to Sumatra this time was also General Lu Ping.

Previously, in the former Qing Dynasty, the Chinese naval fleet also made many friendly visits to the South Seas, but compared to the previous ones. Now the sudden arrival of the Chinese fleet in Sumatra, where the situation is tense, is quite intriguing. One can't help but be reminded of the "Moroccan crisis" back then. The German Navy sent warships to visit Moroccan ports, which brought Britain and Germany to the brink of war, and if it had not been for Germany's eventual compromise, the war in Europe would have erupted years earlier.

Right now, the situation in Sumatra is very tense. The conflicts between the local Chinese, overseas Chinese and natives have become more and more frequent, and the scenes have become more and more intense, and the Dutch East Indies colonial authorities have repeatedly lodged representations with the Chinese consul in the local area, asking the Chinese consul to restrain the actions of the Chinese and not to take the initiative to provoke. And faintly pointed the finger at the Chinese central government Governor of the Netherlands that behind the tension in Sumatra stood the shadow of the "madman president", of course, the Chinese consul resolutely refuted this accusation, and once again reaffirmed the position of the Chinese central government on foreign affairs and overseas issues, that is: never take the initiative to provoke. However, it has also taken a resolute stance against all hostile actions that threaten the interests of the local Chinese and overseas Chinese. At this time, the central government suddenly sent an ocean-going fleet whose strength should not be underestimated to Sumatra, and the purpose was also obvious, that is, to support the local Chinese and overseas Chinese, and compared with the naval strength possessed by the Dutch East Indies colonial authorities, this Chinese naval fleet was definitely not an ornament, which can be seen from the composition of the fleet's warships, not only the two American-made ocean-going large attack ships "Green Forest" and "Red Eyebrow" were impressively listed, but also "the sea is deep and the sea is ready for sea analysis" In addition, the "Narutiao-class" destroyers designed and built by China were also included in the ocean-going fleet that visited Sumatra, and the number reached six, and what was even more striking was the seaplane carrier that followed the fleet's actions, which was the latest warship that the Chinese Navy had just completed and put into service, and was also built by American shipyards, with a standard displacement of 5,000 tons, which could carry five seaplanes and was equipped with medium-caliber naval guns.

The local Chinese-language newspapers did not shy away from the fact that such an ocean-going fleet had come to Sumatra, where the tense situation was in this situation, to support the Chinese and overseas Chinese, and the patriotic sentiments of the Chinese and overseas Chinese were further instigated. It is precisely because of this that the concave 8 is said to be in good condition, and the book is full of umbrellas. After the arrival of the fleet in the harbor. That's why there are so many welcomings. Moreover, the ceremony was so grand that it was so lively that it almost caught up with the traditional Spring Festival, so that most people automatically ignored the newspaper advertisements placed by the League.

It was not until this time that the members of the League who rushed to the dock to welcome Mr. Sun realized what the local Chinese and overseas Chinese attached more importance to, and they gradually got tired of the pure rhetoric, and they knew that it was not the inflammatory and unrealistic political slogans of the League that could really protect their interests. Only force, only the force of the motherland, can truly end the history of blood and tears of the Nanyang Chinese.

This kind of force was accumulated little by little by the central government with a down-to-earth style, and in contrast, the League was busy with nothing but could achieve nothing, which formed a strong contrast to some extent. It is no wonder that more and more Chinese began to abandon the League and move closer to the center.

This is also the important reason why Mr. Sun rushed to Sumatra, he wanted to wave his personality charm, to maintain the influence of the League that is becoming more and more inconspicuous, as for whether he can do it, but no one can say, in order to enhance the comrades' confidence in victory, Mr. Sun came this time, but also to prepare to formally reorganize the League into a more effective political party, and the most important change is the name of this political organization, perhaps it will not be long before the term "League" will really become history.

Finally, Yang Wangpeng saw Xiong Chengji's figure. At the same time, I also saw Mr. Sun and Mr. Sun's wife, who were walking in front of Xiong Chengji, and as for Mr. Sun's attaché, it seemed that there were dozens of people. As they walked on the pier, most of them were also looking curiously towards the side of the pier. I don't know why the crowd over there is so dense.

"Mikane! Finally meet! I haven't seen you for more than two years, but you're thinner and darker, is it because the sun is getting more in South America? ”

Yang Wangpeng didn't wait for Xiong Chengji to walk off the trestle, he had already grabbed a few steps, stood by the railing, stretched out his hand to Xiong Chengji, and shook hands with the other party.

"Zilun, you have also lost a lot of weight, the sun here in Nanyang is no worse than in South America, stay here for a few more days, and you will also be tanned."

Xiong Chengji smiled and greeted Yang Wangpeng for a moment, and then pointed to Mr. Sun, who had already stopped. said: "This Mr. Sun, you don't need me to introduce it again, right?" ”

Mr. Sun stretched out his hand and said, "I have long heard Weigen talk about your revolutionary actions in Henan back then, and if it weren't for your group governance society," Wushen Revolution. It won't be so fast, speaking of which, your group governance society is the first hero of the revolution. It's a pity that the revolutionary comrades' stance is not firm enough, but they hand over the fruits of the victory of the revolution to others, which inevitably makes people breathe Yang Wangpeng shook hands with Mr. Sun, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. taught that if it weren't for the comrades in various places to do their own thing, this power would not have fallen into the hands of Yuan Shikai, who is an old-style bureaucrat. They were no match for the new bureaucracy, so to put it mildly, the revolutionaries were too naïve to hold power in their hands

Although he may not agree with the other party's views, since Yang Wangpeng is willing to come to Nanyang, it means that this is a comrade who can be united, and there is no need to dwell on the details and unite all those who can be united, which is also the experience and teaching that Xiong Chengji summed up in the two years of self-exile, and it is precisely because of this that he decided to devote himself to the reform of the alliance and form a strong and united political group.

Those members of the alliance who came to greet Mr. Sun also stepped forward to greet everyone, and explained to everyone the reason for the excitement at Pier 5, and after listening to it, most of them couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Zhao Zhenhua is indeed very good at winning people's hearts, which is worthy of our serious study.

Mr. Sun broke through the mystery in one word, and everyone nodded in agreement, indeed, if you talk about buying people's hearts, you really can't find a few people who can pass Zhao Bei. This is a political maneuver, and it is no wonder that Yang Wangpeng said just now that Yuan Shikai was defeated at the hands of "new-style bureaucrats". Zhao Bei is this "new-style bureaucrat", he can not only gather the hearts of the officials, but also gather the hearts of the people, which is the biggest difference between him and the old-style bureaucrats.

"Why don't we go to Pier 5 too?"

Yang Wangpeng suggested that he rush to the dock today. Welcoming Xiong Chengji is certainly one of the reasons, but going to see the warship is also another reason, as a Chinese, he does feel Xiong comforted by the rise of the ancestral ** force, no matter who commands this military force, at least, this military force performed well in the war against Japan that year. It is a strong pillar for defending the interests of the country and the people.

"Yes, let's go over there." Xiong Chengji first agreed.

Mr. Sun pondered for a moment, and agreed with Yang Wangpeng's suggestion, so everyone rushed to Pier 5 on foot.
