Less than a day after the news of the squadron's military exercise in Wusongkou, the news spread in Shanghai and then spread to all parts of the country.

When Situ Nan got off the train, he heard the newsboy's "nickname outside" non-stop, "Our army is conducting defense exercises at Wusong Port and using giant artillery to build the Great Wall on the sea." ”

Attracting the attention of tourists, people rushed to buy them out of curiosity, and the eager discussion revealed the excitement in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Although there was no time to rush and no photographs, only a small magazine was printed, and the citizens were already looking forward to the next day's newspaper.

"The news spread so fast, and this time it gave Ta Kung Pao the lead." Situ Nan said to Song M1 with a smile.

During the exercise, Ta Kung Pao had the honor of sending reporters to report to whomever it could.

Song M1 glanced at Situ Nan: "The trouble is still to come, I still have to deal with the nagging of foreign consuls." ”

The first to come to the door to nag was the consul of Nanhua.

As soon as Szeto Nan returned to Kadoorie Garden, Consul Zhang followed him through the door.

"I heard you quarreled with them again? Another word comes to mind - Tongue War? ”

Situ Nan said to Consul Zhang with a smile, and it could be seen from the tone of his voice that the two had known each other for a long time.

The consul of Nanhua came to visit Situ Nan more than Song M1. He glanced at Situ Nan, and saw that Song M1 was not by Situ Nan's side at the moment, so he didn't mind, and smiled: "I don't have the ability to fight the Confucianism of Zhuge Liang's tongue, I just can't get used to seeing their faces." You're not here, and those people are looking wonderful today. ”

"Of course. Who would have thought that South China, a country less than ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, would be able to produce large-caliber artillery so quickly. It was a big shock to Britain and France, which were old industrial countries. ”

Situ Nan commented that he was secretly grateful that the Treaty of Versailles had cornered the Krupp company. Otherwise, it will not cooperate deeply with the United States and China companies to transfer Germany's military technology to the East.

Of course, he can also let the Bethlehem Company export military technology to South China, but the price is a little bigger, and it is easy to arouse the objections of other arms dealers in the United States.

"Hehe, what I said is that 100,000 German engineers work in South China and China, and the relationship between the two sides is not deep.

The Germans are now down. However, the ability to fight wars and make munitions is first-class. The military fortress of New Tangshan Port in Nanhua is also equipped with K192O coastal defense guns, and with this kind of cannon, Nanhua has the ability to protect itself. ”

Consul Zhang was convinced, and he was sincerely happy for the progress of Nanhua industry. The number of 100,000 German engineers is exaggerated, but it is not far off.

"It should. The annual cost of the new Tangshan Port is much higher than that of the British in the Singapore fortress. ”

Situ Nandao looked at Consul Zhang in front of him. In his thirties, he is the age of vitality, and he is full of sharpness.

"You have changed, who would have thought that the staff who was strict at the beginning, after becoming an official, his temperament has changed greatly." Situ Nan commented.

"If you think I'm ashamed. Just ask New Tangshan to find someone to replace me, I can't wait to take off this skin, and I will be more comfortable returning to Meihua Company. This Consul Zhang said confidently.

"It seems that people call you Zhang Manzi, and it's really right, it's really a bit brute. Even I dare to contradict it? Situ Nan joked.

This Consul Zhang was originally a senior manager of Meihua Company, and he was obviously a kind businessman. After becoming a consul in Shanghai, he became a somewhat barbaric person, which made Situ Nan find it interesting.

"Hmm-"

"However, it's okay to be brutal, there are some things that Wuhan doesn't come forward with, maybe you will be troubled, and the effect will be better." Situ Nan said again.

"Hmm." Consul Zhang nodded, just now he thought that Situ Nan was angry, he was really a little weak-hearted, thinking that he accidentally caused the other party to be dissatisfied with his temper in front of the big boss, and now when he heard Situ Nan make fun of himself, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a bitter face, "Although I often quarrel with the Japanese, and sometimes tease the British and French, in fact, my heart is quite empty, maybe one day I will get into trouble from my mouth and cause trouble." Come to think of it, the company is more suitable for me. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Situ Nan with some expectation, and saw that Situ Nan didn't say it, as if he was thinking about it, and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you send me to Africa to mine?" ”

"Think beautifully."

Situ Nan shook his head: "Nanhua has a special relationship with China, and I don't feel at ease if I don't have any acquaintances here in Shanghai." You're familiar with the country, and you've been in Europe, so it's just right. ”

"Okay. You're the boss, and you're in charge. ”

Consul Zhang was a little unwilling, but he still felt a little useful, after all, among the South China consuls abroad, the consul in Shanghai was very heavy, but the Meihua company was about to carry out a lot of business in Shanghai, and his own Meihua staff seemed to have become the most suitable candidate.

"Although I made a fuss at the ministerial meeting, this incident was not usual, and the large artillery produced by the arsenal of Krupp and South China had aroused the vigilance of the great powers. Nanhua's products may be subject to resistance in the international market. ”

Consul Zhang analyzed and felt the need to remind Situ Nan.

"Rest assured. They can't resist it, and the consortiums in New York and London are looking forward to investing in China's railways. Situ Nan smiled faintly, with a kind of self-confidence.

The two spoke for a while, and Consul Zhang took his leave and left Kadoorie Garden.

"I didn't expect you to know Zhang Manzi well?"

Song M1 walked to Situ Nan's side, said casually, and said in his heart: Whether it is Meihua or the Zhi Gong Party, no matter what the wind and grass do, this man can't be hidden, although he seems to be very open on the surface, and let Song Ziwen, Lin Yimin, He Wenxiu and others act freely, but his influence has penetrated into many aspects, and the staff of Meihua Company are still few important members of the party, government and military?

Song M1 is full of fragrance after bathing, which has a unique style.

"It's ok. Before joining Meihua, that guy was one of the retired members of my staff group. ”

Situ Nan explained, pressing the impulse in his heart.

"Is that so, no wonder?" Song M1 responded, slightly surprised, he didn't expect that Consul Zhang to have such a background.

Situ Nan's staff group she knew was within the Zhi Gong Party and the Meihua Company. The status of the staff group is very special, and it has an influence that ordinary people can hardly imagine. Many of the government's policies are orchestrated behind the scenes.

Even if it is a pillow person like Song M1, Situ Nan's staff group is mysterious to her, because in addition to the affairs of the domestic and American Chinese consortium, Situ Nan's staff group also manages Situ Nan's assets in Europe and the United States, such as the William consortium.

Situ Nan didn't expect a sentence to make Song M1 think so far, he took Song M1's hand and sat down, and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast." I didn't expect to stay in China for so long this time, and there will be fewer days to see each other in the future, and some things have to be explained clearly. ”

Song M1's face was gloomy for a while, and he looked at Situ Nan without speaking. Yes, a strange man like him can't stay by his side after all.

"Say it! I'm listening. Song M1 said, reluctant to give up.

"Look at the way you look. It's like life and death. I'm still in Shanghai for a while. ”

Situ Nan saw Song M1's expression in his eyes, and gently scratched Song M1's nose with his fingertips, "I hate it!" Song M1 blushed rarely, and slapped Situ Nan angrily. The two had a little trouble, diluting the awkward atmosphere just now.

"That's-"

"You want to move the Sheng family?" Song M1 looked at Situ Nan in surprise, "How could you have such an idea?" My sister-in-law got it. Ziwen is going to be embarrassed. ”

"The main ones are China Merchants Steamship and Jiangnan Shipyard. The Sheng family has become an obstacle to Meihua, you don't know, the heirs of the Sheng family don't fight or say anything, and it seems that they are also involved in opium trafficking, and it may not necessarily be the people of the Sheng family. But they have a connection with the Japanese. As for Ziwen, do you think there is a chance to clean up the Sheng family. Will he let it go? I know the grievances between your two families. ”

Situ Nan said calmly.

"Back then, the Sheng family was domineering, and Ziwen suffered a lot from them. Fortunately, the Song family later became a partner of Meihua, and there was a turnaround. ”

Song M1 said, frowning lightly, she didn't like the Sheng family either, although the Song family and the Sheng family were married, and Ziwen married Sheng Aiyi, but sending home to the rest of the Sheng family may not be without mustard.

"I have to discuss this matter with Ziwen." Song M1 said again.

"Of course. How to do it, it depends on Meihua Company and Ziwen, is it possible that I still have time to deal with these bad things? Situ Nan joked.

In his eyes, the Sheng family is not worth mentioning, he can bring down the Sheng family with a finger, if it weren't for the importance of the steamship China Merchants Bureau and Jiangnan Shipyard to the construction plan of Greater Shanghai, he would not have bothered to deal with the Sheng family's doomed family.

……

Wuhan.

East lake.

In the prime minister's official residence, Song Ziwen looked at the man in front of him - Yang Yongtai with scrutinizing eyes, and he didn't expect that the throne of the new mayor of Shanghai would fall on the head of Yang Yongtai, a figure in the political science department.

Yang Yongtai was born in Maoming, Guangdong, and this identity made him recognized by some Cantonese elders in the party, but Yang Yongtai is not an authentic member of the Zhi Gong Party, nor is he from the Meihua Company, but a standard politician, who once mixed with his brother-in-law, and later went to Beijing to hug the thigh of the Beiyang warlord, and now he has become a new figure with a little influence in the Zhi Gong Party.

Song Ziwen doesn't like this kind of wall grass, but I have to admit that Yang Yongtai is indeed talented, under his threading the needle, Zhang Yaozeng, Li Gengen and other figures in the Department of Political Science gradually moved closer to the Zhi Gong Party, which can be regarded as digging a large corner of the Beiyang government and the Kuomintang, so as to gain the favor of some people in the Zhi Gong Party.

Yang Yongtai and others, with their talents and prestige, seem to have given the Department of Political Science a new life in the Wuhan government, and it is known as the new Department of Political Science.

In Song Ziwen's view, the influence of the New Political Science Department is still very weak, not enough to threaten his position, but he is a little worried about handing over Shanghai to Yang Yongtai.

Seeing that Song Ziwen didn't speak, Yang Yongtai didn't dare to speak, half of his butt sat on the chair, holding his breath and concentrating, trying to make his expression look more submissive.

"I was really blinded at the beginning, why didn't I hug the thighs of the Zhi Gong Dang earlier?"

Yang Yongtai thought to himself, otherwise, with his status as a senior politician, how could he let Song Ziwen suddenly rise up and be crushed by young people? I hope that after arriving in Shanghai, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and he can do something else. (To be continued.)
