After nearly half a year of hard work by 60,000 soldiers and civilians, the three major projects in Nanjing are finally coming to an end.

Coupled with the previously completed Taiping Gate and the restoration of the six-kilometer-long ancient city wall, the entire city of Nanjing has been completely renewed, showing full vitality everywhere.

With the drum tower as the center, radiating to the west, the four urban avenues are worthy of being the first of the three major projects, these four 18-meter-wide cross-shaped traffic arteries, north to Xuanwu Gate, west to Caochang Gate, south to Hanzhong Road, east to Taipingmen, all of which are high-quality asphalt roads with sidewalks, with a total length of 11 kilometers.

The completion of the four avenues in the city has greatly alleviated the traffic pressure in Nanjing, the advanced drainage system has completely solved the hidden danger of waterlogging, and the renovation of the old city on both sides of the road has also been carried out with the spontaneous efforts of the local political axe, major chambers of commerce and citizens in Nanjing.

What makes the people extremely admired and proud is that Xiao Yimin and his Nanjing camp did not take the opportunity to set up a monument for themselves, but through the "China Times" and "Jinling Evening News", they collected the names of the four new avenues from all the people of Nanjing, which not only moved the people of Nanjing and actively participated, but also caused the enthusiastic response soon spread to the whole country and won high praise from all walks of life, and even many celebrities raised the good deeds of Xiao Yimin and the Nanjing camp to the height of carrying forward the spirit of Mingzhu.

This topic, which has been talked about by all walks of life across the country, has lasted for more than two months, and it is still not decreasing in popularity.

On September 1, the project was completed and the ribbon was cut, and Zhu Wenshao, the first mayor of Nanjing, who was transferred from Jinling Daoyin, stood on the viewing platform of Gulou Square and excitedly announced the results to more than 100,000 people who had gathered.

The second major project of final renovation and road greening is the public Nanjing University with Xuanwu Lake in the north, Taiping Gate in the east, Gulou East Street in the south, and Jiming Temple in the west.

The establishment of Nanjing University was completely initiated by Xiao Yimin, according to the opinions of the cultural circles of Jiangsu Province and the general public, Nanjing Xingying and Jiangsu Provincial Political Axe spent 1 million on this basis to expand, so that the brand-new Nanjing University has five majestic three-story teaching buildings, five student dormitory areas, three faculty residential areas, 12 cement basketball courts, a large auditorium that can accommodate 1,500 people, a stadium with a 400-meter standard running track, and its construction scale and perfect facilities. Second only to Sichuan University, which is second to none in the country, it has become a new pride in the hearts of the people of Nanjing and Jiangsu.

Hundreds of well-known figures in the educational circles in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other places happily accepted the invitation of Nanjing University, and with the active efforts of Xiao Yimin and various churches in Nanjing, the University of Paris II, the University of California, and the University of Birmingham have established cooperative relations with Nanjing University.

The third major project of Nanjing City is undoubtedly the Nanjing National Stadium located between Wutai Mountain and Stone Town in the city, which is a huge stadium built night to welcome the first autumn games in the country, designed by Tu Jingwei, a young architect who returned from studying in the United States, and the three-story stepped novel grandstand can accommodate 50,000 spectators, not only has a football field surrounded by a standard runway, but also makes full use of every space to distribute most of the track and field venues cleverly and reasonably. Twelve spacious locker rooms, bathrooms, meeting rooms and lounges have been built under the main grandstand on the north side, and its avant-garde design and majestic overall shape have won unanimous praise from all walks of life and have been unanimously praised as the best stadium in China by Chinese and foreign public opinion.

The above three major projects not only greatly enhanced the political status and authority of the Nanjing Xingying of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but also brought tremendous political achievements and reputation to the Nanjing Xingying and Xiao Yimin.

"Compared with the political axes of all parts of the country and even the political axes of Yanjing and Guangzhou, the Nanjing camp of the Ministry of Military Affairs led by General Xiao Yimin has not only achieved great military advantages, but also walked far ahead of everyone in the field of civil affairs construction and economic construction, from the beginning of Sichuan's take-off, to the new salt tax policy implemented after the establishment of the Nanjing camp, and then to the large-scale construction of culture, education, health, industry and commerce in Nanjing, General Xiao Yimin and his Nanjing camp have taken every step in a down-to-earth manner, bringing deep thinking and great hope to the people!"

Compared with the above three major projects, Xiao Yimin has put the most energy and effort into the "three major military projects" that are carried out silently and are not known to the outside world, and these three military projects that are enough to change half of China and have a total investment of more than 10 million yuan are: the "state-owned Nanjing Machinery and Equipment Company" separated by a wall from Qingliangshan and Stone Town, the "Nanjing Army Military Academy" which is under construction in full swing to the south of Nanjing Stadium, and the "Nanjing Xingying New District" which is separated from the new military academy by a brand-new avenue.

Nanjing Xingying New Area covers an area of more than 2,000 acres, divided into three parts: office area, residential area, garrison headquarters camp, thanks to the design of the initial stage of perfect consideration, the three areas to be completed are covered with green trees everywhere, the appearance is simple and unpretentious, except for the five-storey office building standing at the eastern foot of Qingliang Mountain, facing the newly built Huju Road, the rest of the buildings are below three floors.

Among them, the garrison headquarters barracks located on the original site of Stone Town occupy the most extensive area, covering an area of more than 900 acres, and not only have newly built and perfect barracks and training sites, but also are the location of the Nanjing Xingying Military Procuratorate, Military Court and Military Prison.

Therefore, Xiao Yimin has to go to the construction site almost every day, and when he is interested, he will go to the shooting range hidden underground to have a gun addiction, but more often than not, he will check the secret facilities inside the 200-meter city wall that has been secretly hollowed out and re-poured with reinforced concrete, as well as the radio communication command center hidden inside and outside the Qingliangshan Mountain.

After the completion of these two secret projects, they will be networked with the radio communication base stations set up in various parts of the country, and will not only shoulder the heavy responsibility of connecting with the Nanjing camp and commanding all the armed forces under its command, but will also be a radio broadcasting center covering most of China, and their tremendous value and significance will be vigorously reflected in the future.

On the afternoon of 4 September, when Xiao Yimin again climbed the building of the communication center among the green trees at the foot of Qingliang Mountain, an important piece of news flew in from Guangzhou:

The First Army of the Gui Army and the Seventh Division of the Fourth Army broke the three-layer defense line of Guangzhou, and occupied the city of Guangzhou at 1:10 p.m., and the follow-up 50,000 troops of the Gui Army came one after another, and the total casualties on both sides of the battle were expected to be no less than 15,000 people, two blocks in the south of the city were burned in the fire, hundreds of officials of the Guangzhou political axe took refuge in the Shamian concession, and the captains of the twelve warships of the Southern Navy sent a telegram to the whole country to join the central government, and the other four ships drove into Baietan, and continued to engage in artillery battles with the Gui army occupying the city of Guangzhou.

Xiao Yimin hurriedly returned to the Overseer's Mansion and discussed with the generals and Yang Du and other think tanks behind closed doors.

The complete change in the situation in Guangzhou means that the biggest henchman of the Xiao Yimin clique will be lifted, and half of the country will soon fall into the hands of the Xiao Yimin clique.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that Xiao Yimin returned home, and saw his wife Yi Zhenying and Liu Yu sitting in the living room in a daze, Xiao Yimin's mood suddenly became extremely heavy, thinking of Liu Bingxian, the second brother of the alliance, and then thinking of the gun sent back by the intelligence department in the previous paragraph, the little joy in Xiao Yimin's heart was instantly overwhelmed by helplessness and sadness.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xiao Yimin took Yi Zhenying's hand and asked her to sit down, turned to Liu Yu, who had tears in his eyes, and whispered:

"It is estimated that you already know the news that Guangzhou was captured by the Gui army, the Guangdong Revolutionary Army was completely defeated, and as many as more than 400 generals and colonels were killed in the defense of Guangzhou, but those senior officials in the Guangzhou base camp had already fled from Guangzhou before last night, either to Nanyang, or to board the ship of Yue himself and fled to Yue Ben, including your brother and Chiang Kai-shek, so they are not in any danger."

Liu Yu raised his head in surprise, and suddenly threw himself into Xiao Yimin's arms and cried: "Little brother, thank you!" Thank you ......."

"Thanks for what? Why do you say this? Xiao Yimin lovingly hugged his wife, who was weak.

Yi Zhenying sighed, as if she had let go of a big stone in her heart: "That's good, that's good!" Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain to the old people in my family! ”

The old man in the family refers to Liu Bingxian's parents, the two elders have now moved from Yucheng to Chengdu, living in the Xiao family compound in the North School Field, for Xiao Yimin to train a son and a daughter and a group of orphans brought back from all over the country to raise, Liu Bingxian's wife, a concubine and three children also followed the old man to live in the Xiao family compound, living a peaceful and prosperous life, enjoying the best education.

Xiao Yimin picked up his wife, who had wiped away her tears: "Don't worry too much about your brother, although the gang in Guangzhou don't want to see him, Mr. Sun still values him very much, so let him go to Yueben to live quietly for a while...... I already greeted General Duan Qirui a few days ago, and the newly released Supreme Wanted Notice does not have your brother's name on it. ”

Liu Yu, who came to his senses, had an extremely sharp head: "In this way, wouldn't it be more difficult for him?" If the names of the people around him were all on the wanted list, and he didn't have anything to do, wouldn't his situation be even more difficult? ”

Xiao Yimin smiled: "No matter how difficult it is, no one dares to touch him, who in the revolutionary party doesn't know that I, Xiao Yimin, am a sanctimonious hypocrite who will repay him?" Who dares to touch my brother-in-law, isn't he afraid that I will destroy his nine clans? ”

Liu Yu lightly slapped Xiao Yimin: "Don't talk nonsense, you are not a hypocrite, if you are a hypocrite, there will be no gentleman in the whole world." ”

Xiao Yimin laughed, Yi Zhenying, who was pregnant again, generously took the opportunity to leave, leaving her husband and little sister a chance to be alone, in the past few months, Xiao Yimin has been too busy, going out early and returning late every day, coming back tired and tired, rarely having the opportunity and energy to enjoy the joy of family, and every time as long as she is free, she mostly rests in Yi Zhenying's room, Yi Zhenying is quite sorry for Liu Yu in her heart.

As soon as Yi Zhenying left, Liu Yu pressed Xiao Yimin on his leg and skillfully massaged Xiao Yimin's head: "Little brother, I heard that the Invalids Primary School on the side of the military academy has been built, and we have started to recruit teachers." ”

"What? Can't stay at home? You, a top student and pediatrician who graduated from medical school, don't want to change careers to become an elementary school teacher, do you? ”

"Hmm...... I love spending time with kids. ”

"It's a pity! But it's rare for people to do something they like in this life, okay, as long as you're happy, just go. ”

"Little brother, did you agree?"

"Promised."

"Little brother, you are so nice...... Don't, go back to your room, you can't be here......"
