Ma Yubao didn't quite believe his ears, Chief of Patrol Police? Although he is a petty official compared to the governor, he is nothing compared to nothing, and that is a great status.

"What do you mean?" Ma Yubao asked bravely, and Zhao Yu waved his hand impatiently and said: "This is the meaning of Dashuai, I am a little director, how can I feel this?" Dashuai said that you are a fellow villager in Anhui and should be taken care of. ”

Hearing that it was Fang Jianxiong's meaning, Ma Yubao was relieved, and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, I took this errand myself." ”

"Since I took it, I will go up at nine o'clock tomorrow and go to the former capital governor's office for a meeting." Zhao Yu turned around and left as he spoke, and said to the subordinates beside him: "Go, the next one." ”

A group of spies left with great momentum, and while the night was dark, none of the celebrities in Nanchang City ran away. Every family in Chapter 5 New Bethlehem was taken care of, and of course, after the shock, it was often good news.

Early the next morning, a group of former military government dignitaries yawned and appeared at the former capital governor's office, which is now the headquarters of the Jiangxi Military Region of the National Defense Army.

They are all acquaintances, and they are muttering together, and soon everyone has a score in their hearts. At nine o'clock, there were more than 100 people sitting in the huge conference room, and I saw more than a dozen people walking on the rostrum. The leader was Zhang Xiaohuai, followed by Xie Yuanhan, the former director of the Advisory Council, Huang Daxun, Guo Gengping, the former deputy director, and Ma Yubao, the former governor of the city.

The original members of the Consultative Council were the big winners of the meeting, and after the establishment of Jiangxi as a United Autonomous Region, the new provincial council was proclaimed. Former members of the Council automatically become Members. Provincial governors are elected by the Parliament. Although there is also a deposit of the United Autonomous Region Political Affairs Committee on the top of his head, he can't take care of it for the time being, and will first divide up the existing power.

Jiangxi's affairs, driven by interests, quickly got a stable result.

The negotiations in Wuchang are still going on, and they are still two negotiations. One is Chen Jintao vs. Fisher, and there is no suspense about the outcome of this negotiation. A final agreement was reached at the end of the morning. The Nanjing Provisional Government, sponsored by the China Merchants Steamship Bureau and the Chapter 5 New Bethlehem Contract Jiangsu Railway Association, raised 8 million yuan from Merlot Bank in the form of shares. Therefrom. Merlot Bank received 51% of the shares. Became the largest shareholder, and the formal signing of the agreement will take place in Shanghai.

When Nanjing heard the news, it was greatly overjoyed. Sun praised at the meeting: "Fang Fuguo is still well-versed in affairs. If it wasn't for his efforts to facilitate this, the Northern Expedition was categorically hopeless. ”

At this time, Hu Hanmin came to a very sudden sentence: "What should I do about Han Yeping?" ”

The Japanese have no good way to take Fang Jianxiong, they can't start a war just because the workers are on strike, right? Ordinary warlords were honest after intimidation, and Fang Jianxiong directly listed Murata as an undesirable target. The Japanese minister, Ijiin, was furious, and after reporting to the country, he was reprimanded by the cabinet in a telegram. He said: The incident of General Fang Jianxiong in China was really a mistake in the work of various departments stationed in China. Relations with him should be improved as much as possible in order to ensure Japan's interests in Han Yeping.

What does that mean? This guy named Fang Zheng suddenly appeared. The Japanese envoy and intelligence departments in China did not pay enough attention to it, and there was a military friction with it for a time, and there was a huge gap in the pig iron provided by Han Yeping to Japan. This is all caused by the mistakes of various departments stationed in China, and a warlord has been ignored by everyone in this way, and the key is that this warlord is very capable of fighting.

Ijiin doesn't have a good way either. I had to make a detour and find the provisional government. It is hoped that the problem of Han Yeping can be resolved through the provisional government of Guò. As for Fang Jianxiong's side, contact will be arranged separately. But I can only go through other channels. At this time, Japan was still at the level of a junior brother among the great powers, and it was okay to bully the Qing Dynasty, facing Britain, France and Germany and the like. It is still necessary to play the role of grandson. At the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution, Russia took the initiative to negotiate with Japan and jointly sent troops to intervene. As a result, the British big brother slapped him and obediently followed the big brother to play the role of a lackey.

Sheng Xuanhuai, who was far away in Japan, initialed the "Han Yeping Joint Agreement" with Japan's Mitsui & Co., which was widely opposed by the whole country. However, the Nanjing government could not do without Japan's support, and it has always been ambiguous about this matter. Now that the money from Merlot Bank is available, the Japanese side is not so important. Of course, 8 million is only a temporary thirst quenching, and to really achieve the Northern Expedition and hit Beijing, a steady stream of financial investment is needed.

The Japanese government hopes to achieve a fait accompli co-founded by Han Yeping, but the biggest difficulty is that the reality of Hubei is in the hands of Fang Jianxiong. Although the Japanese Navy sent two river warships to Daye, it is really difficult to say how much of a role it can play. The most fatal thing is that under the current situation, adopting military means to solve the problem of Fang Jianxiong will undoubtedly attract the opposition of the great powers. Among them, the boss Britain will definitely stun Japan, and Germany is estimated to show its fangs.

After the tripartite talks, the Nanjing Provisional Government could not say anything about the affairs of the autonomous region. At this stage, it can only play the role of a bridge, and originally Sheng Xuanhuai also planned to raise 3 million from Mitsui & Co., of which 2 million yen was lent to the provisional government, so as to protect private property from loss and ensure personal life. Now these are unrealistic, if Fang Jianxiong doesn't agree, Du Nima will be blind.

Hu Hanmin said this at the meeting, which was obviously a bit out of place, and he was discussing the Northern Expedition.

"This, telegraph to Fang Fuguo, let's see what he means." President Sun gave a vague conclusion and continued to meet to discuss the Northern Expedition. To go on the Northern Expedition, we must first solve the problem of military supplies, and Chen Qimei borrowed 300,000 yuan in Japan before, and all the purchases were Japanese weapons. In the middle of this year, it is not unusual for the ** team to be equipped with the Wanguo brand. However, the equipment of the Japanese is not cheap, not to mention that this period is very special, and you don't want to slaughter anyone.

Previously, Fang Jianxiong had something to say, and he could sell some arms cheaply. After contact, Fang Jianxiong sold 20,000 rifles to Nanjing at a price of 60 yuan per Hanyang and 200 ammunition, and 20 guns were sold to 5,000 yuan each, with 50 ammunition. This money is deducted directly from Merlot Bank. As long as the contract is officially signed, you can get the goods. Judging by the current price, it is still very fair. So Sun Cai praised Fang Jianxiong for how the previous unpleasantness automatically forgot jì.

After some contact, Sun felt that Fang Jianxiong was still more reasonable. If you don't mess with him, you're guaranteed to be fine. The last time the soldiers came to the city of Nanjing, it was found that Chen Qimei was the fault. So Sun repeatedly warned the internal bigwigs not to mess with the surname Fang.

It is said that without Jiangxi, the prestige of the provisional government has suffered a huge blow, but Sun insisted at the meeting: "Losing a Jiangxi will give you a greater guarantee for the success of the Northern Expedition." With this, everyone had to give up, and in private, Huang Xing and Sun had a quarrel, and finally habitually obeyed Sun. Objectively speaking, putting aside the relationship between men and women and the attitude towards Japan, the leaders of the Sun, Huang and other alliances are still very respectable in this great era. After all, in this era, the overthrow of the Manchu Qing is the primary contradiction. It can only be said that this generation has failed to plan far! Or rather, lack of capacity.

Fang Jianxiong, a guy from an otaku, knows that from the perspective of geopolitics, the relationship between China, Japan, and Russia is definitely not good in this era. Polar bears are not to mention the ** of the territory, and little Japan's desire for the mainland is even more to the point of madness. Counting on these two countries to help is essentially a game of sesame for the tiger.

The Northern Expedition Military Conference of the Nanjing Provisional Government was finally decided to have Sun Yue as the commander-in-chief, with the three infantry divisions of the First Army of Jiangsu as the main force, one division in Guangdong, and one division in Zhejiang. Two divisions in Jiangxi (on the road), forming the Second Army as an auxiliary, went north along the Jinpu Road, and borrowed through Anhui.

What the Nanjing Provisional Government hoped most was that Fang Jianxiong's Wehrmacht would join the Northern Expedition, but this was not very likely. After the meeting, Sun sent a telegram to Fang Jianxiong, hoping that the National Defense Force could take action and strongly support the Northern Expedition.

After receiving a call from Nanjing, Fang Jianxiong and the United States finally reached an agreement on negotiations. The content of the "Memorandum of Cooperation" is mainly in the following aspects. First, the U.S. side invested in the expansion of the Ma'anshang Iron and Steel Plant, and the U.S. side accounted for 49% of the shares, which is what Fang Jianxiong likes to see the most, that place is really unsafe, and if you don't wear a joint venture hat, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep peacefully at night. Second, it will invest in Wuhu Manufacturing Bureau, with the United States holding 49% of the shares. Third, Bengbu, Wuhu, Anqing, Jiujiang, and Wuchang will be connected by a railway. The problem of the Yangtze River, that is what the Americans should worry about, Fang Jianxiong insisted that he should not engage in ferries, and bridges must be built. Moreover, there are more stringent requirements for the height of the bridge. The Americans were not angry about this, but were happy. I don't know if it's because my brain is in the water or if I have a lot of money and I have nowhere to spend it, anyway, everyone is happy. The Americans held 40 percent of the shares and held the right to operate the railroad for 20 years. Fourth, the establishment of autonomous regions and special administrative regions, the investment of US enterprises is exempt from taxation for two years, and the tax is imposed for the third and a half years. Capital investment in other countries, subject to conditions that may not exceed U.S. capital.

In addition, Fang Jianxiong signed a secret agreement with the US Bethlehem Iron and Steel Company, whereby the Bethlehem Company would provide an interest-free loan of $30 million to the autonomous region for the purchase of four fully American-made light cruisers (Lin Xian class) from the United States, and to design two warships between a cruiser and a battleship according to Fang's requirements. Well, the Americans were a little confused about this, and they tried to persuade and educate them repeatedly, but they couldn't impress Fang Jianxiong, so they had to agree. Anyway, the requirements are very simple, you can't outrun the cruiser, you can't beat the battleship. The basic element zhì decided, the one who catches up with it can't beat him, and the one who can beat it can't catch up with it. Bethlehem Company invested in a shipyard company in Wuhan, which is called a joint venture to the outside world, but is actually wholly owned by the United States. The treaty emphatically emphasizes that once the Fang clan gains state power, the US Bethlehem Company will provide $50 million in the form of interest-free loans to order a batch of naval warships in accordance with China's requirements and jointly build a large shipyard in Shanghai.

The Americans are very satisfied with this contract, and Fang Jianxiong is also satisfied with this contract. Heavy patrol is a perverted species, it is the best to deal with little Japan, and Lao Tzu will not fight with you head-on, just play with you to break the friendship at sea, and you want to die when you play. Who made you an island country, and if you don't seize this loophole to play to death, what kind of traverser is it called?

Later historians called this contract the New Bethlehem Treaty!!
