Chapter 5: The Rumors of the Wind (3)

The band, which had been silent for a long time, finally played a cheerful tune again, and the German businessmen who lived in the hotel were all smiling on their faces, and their uneasiness and fear had completely disappeared from the moment Fang Dashuai appeared.

On the road opposite the hotel, there was a rare traffic jam, and the long queue of cars was discharged for several kilometers. The "big guys" in the capital, in front of the heavily armed guards, obediently like their grandsons, got out of the car early and walked hundreds of meters. A sentry was set up on the road in the middle of the lawn, and in five minutes, even if they were flying, these bigwigs in the capital would not be able to arrive on time.

None of these people who came in a hurry dared to leave, Fang Dashuai was in it to attend the drinking party, and none of them dared not come when they received the post. I can't get in when I come, and I don't dare to stay in the car, in case it reaches the ears of Fu Shuai, saying that so-and-so is warm in the car, then I still want to have a good one? As a result, a rare scene appeared, the usually well-dressed city government officials were shivering in the cold wind of the night.

Dou Yuansheng, who hurried to the scene after receiving the news, looked at the long car line, his face was frightened, and without saying a word, he ordered the driver to turn around and rush to the marshal's mansion.

Dou Qingmei is still talking with Qiu Ju here and waiting for the handsome to come back, tonight it is her turn to serve, the woman is more careful, and she is waiting here with a steady heart. Hearing that her half-brother is here, Dou Qingmei is a little displeased, when will she still come to the door?

Qiu Ju usually doesn't have much entertainment, she likes to do needlework, Dou Qingmei likes it, and the two girls are doing needlework.

Putting down the bandage in her hand, Dou Qingmei said to the maid with a displeased face: "Come back tomorrow, when is it?" ”

Qiu Ju smiled slightly, opened her mouth and called the maid and said, "Come in and sit down, so as not to let people gossip." ”

The lights in the Meiya Hotel were still on, and the officials and businessmen waiting outside in the cold wind still did not dare to leave. Finally, a Qi Erzhu came out of it, and shouted in a loud voice: "It's all gone, remember to be punctual in the future." ”

In the hall, Fang Jianxiong was holding a wine glass in his hand, and he was listening to Fang Lang beside him report in a low voice, there are quite a few people who have received posts tonight, more than a thousand. Fang Dashuai doesn't care who comes, and who doesn't come is the object of attention.

Looking at the list handed over by Fang Lang, Fang Jianxiong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The German Business Union is still very interesting, and the invites are some councillors and city officials. There is no involvement of the Cabinet and the Grand Presidential Palace.

The noisy streets gradually became calm, and the long queue of cars disappeared without a trace after an hour. This night is destined to make it difficult for many people to sleep.

After Fang Jianxiong was quiet outside, he also chose to say goodbye and leave. Tonight's reception was undoubtedly a failure. But it works better. Dozens of German businessmen and Sassoon, who had been grinning with bared teeth, were sent to the side of the road, and then stopped to watch.

Sassoon is in a good mood, and in the past few years, Sassoon has made a lot of money in real estate. But only in Shanghai. In Beijing, Sassoon's other projects besides this hotel have been slow to open up. This is related to the overall plan of the Beijing municipal government. There are many Manchurians in Chongmen, and Yuan Shikai did not mean to move Manchu after Xinhai, and the Manchurians couldn't bear it themselves in a few years. The hardcore crops, who are accustomed to cockfighting, can't live a life of leisure and hard work. Many properties were sold and moved out of the inner city, and the buyer surnamed Fang who accepted these properties has been standing by Fang Dashuai's side tonight. Sassoon also made calculations about public land, and the results can be imagined.

Sassoon finally got a word for it tonight. The young man named Fang Lang promised to eat a meal from him.

When I get home. There were more guards on both sides of the road, and one guard and one policeman stood opposite each other at 50 meters, and no one could approach within 50 meters of the road. Further afield, there are some eyes that move in the dark, and any location where you can threaten a vehicle on the road with a sniper rifle is under the watchful eye of any of them.

Fang Jianxiong was actually very reluctant to go out at night, because there were too many uncertain factors, and the people below were also tired and panicked. All the way back, Qi Erzhu, who was in charge of the guards, was hanging. It wasn't until within 100 meters of the Marshal's Mansion and the first checkpoint through Guò that a stone fell to the ground. Qi Erzhu's most recent thing is that on both sides of the road at night, if two mortar shells fly out, it will really be a personal life.

Walking into Qiu Ju's courtyard and going up the steps, Fang Jianxiong glanced at the two women and Dou Yuansheng who was kneeling on the ground, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. The two women stood at the door, Fang Jianxiong went inside without seeing anything, Qiu Ju hurriedly followed, Dou Qingmei hesitated and waited outside, glaring fiercely at her brother on the ground.

"Young master, the Dou family has been pretty good all these years, and it's not easy for a green plum girl." Qiu Ju gently persuaded when she was dressing. Fang Jianxiong looked over with a smile, and saw that Qiu Ju's face was calm, and he felt a little more comfortable.

After changing his clothes, he sat on the kang and said, "Let him come in and talk." Qiu Ju hurriedly went out to call, and the two women who came in first, and then Dou Yuansheng, who followed up, wanted to kneel, but was stopped by Fang Jianxiong and said: "Standing and talking, your knees are so soft, and you are still not a man." ”

Seeing that Dou Yuansheng didn't speak, Dou Qingmei stepped forward and whispered: "Fuguo, for the sake of my face, I will spare him." ”

Fang Jianxiong glanced at Dou Yuansheng, who was trembling, lowered his head and looked at the floor without speaking, and his heart was even more unhappy. I wanted to scold a few words, but I saw Dou Qingmei's pleading face, and said lightly with anger: "In the past few years, the Dou family has opened seven factories in Wuhu, as long as it can be produced, which factory in Wuhu does not give the Dou family face?" Could it be that the Dou family earns less? Do you have to take advantage of the industry? Is the Dou family short of food or clothing? ”

Dou Yuansheng hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "It's all my fault, I listened to other people's bewitchment, and I was confused." Seeing that the Germans had suffered defeat, they felt that the factories of the German merchants were cheap and did not take advantage of nothing. ”

Fang Jianxiong sneered: "Don't say that I look down on you, even if you get all the shares of Wuhu Desheng Diesel Engine Factory, you don't have the technology to support production." Bullshit stuff, can you build a high-power diesel engine? Looking back at the tractor factory to ask you for a high-power diesel engine, what do you give to others? Delayed the development of the tank, how many heads do you have enough to chop off? Don't think I don't know, what's happened in Anhui in the past few years. The big families headed by the Dou family, the Sun family, and the Li family are not enough to run their own businesses, and they are worried about the industrial ability of others. I tell you, after you go back, the Dou family will withdraw from Wuhu, and you will not be allowed to operate any business related to the military industry from now on, and you can do your shipyard with peace of mind. Get lost! ”

Dou Yuansheng, who was crawling with him, came out of the marshal's mansion, and the first two guards escorted him into the car and sent him away.

This night, the Beijing Telegraph Office became the busiest place, and the outstretched claws not only had to be obediently retracted, but also had to be prevented from shrinking slowly, and the knife fell down and stomped on his hands.

After Dou Yuansheng left, he didn't have the intention of going to Bada Hutong again, and came to the telegraph office, and saw a long queue at the telegraph office from afar. was about to have a seizure, but he heard this little white face he didn't know sneered: "Follow me." ”

Dou Yuansheng saw it clearly, several guns were pointed at him and his entourage, and he was immediately shocked to the ground, stuffed into the car without waiting for someone to set it up, and followed the car in front of him.

When Dou Yuansheng was taken away by Fang Lang, Fang Jianxiong entered Dou Qingmei's courtyard, and kept a cold face, making this beautiful young woman very hesitant. After carefully waiting to fall asleep, Dou Qingmei released charming means to try her best to please her.

What happened in the city of Beijing swept across both sides of the river like a tornado, and from Shanghai to Chongqing, the German businessmen who had to walk with their heads down raised their eyebrows overnight.

The next day, the "Republic of China Times" published a commentary with the headline "Unswervingly take the road of open development and unswervingly take the road of a country with a legal system". It is emphasized that both domestic and foreign capital, as long as they are legal enterprises, are protected by the laws of the Republic of China. Any person or force that attempts to embezzle or embezzle the lawful property of others through illegal means will be severely punished by law.

The sound of Beijing has undoubtedly sounded the alarm for some people.

Another day, Fang Jianxiong took a warship south to Shanghai and, in his capacity as chairman of the National Defense Commission, inspected various military enterprises in the south of the Yangtze River. The first stop along the Yangtze River was the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group, which has 60% of its shares and belongs to the Eurasia Group.

Surprisingly, no welcome people were allowed to enter the Shanghai dock, so Fang Jianxiong got off the battleship and went straight to the dock. The press interpreted the incident and said that Marshal Fang continued his consistent style of military personnel not interfering in politics.

The German engineers Hans and Klaus, who were unwilling to cooperate well at the beginning, waited at the gate of the shipbuilding group early this time. Chen Zhaokeng, president of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group, is naturally also in the ranks of waiting, or standing in the first place.

Fang Jianxiong's car was just steady, Chen Zhaokeng had already stepped forward to open the door, and the two German engineers came forward excitedly, and Lao Yuan stretched out his hands, holding Fang Dashuai's hand tightly and couldn't speak. A thousand words, at the end of which there are only two words: "Thank you!" ”

"Two, take me to see the latest submarines, you can't talk standing here." Fang Jianxiong smiled and spoke, and the group got into the car and went inside, directly seeing the edge of the slipway.

"This is the latest type of submarine with a design surface displacement of 1650 tons / 1850 tons underwater, a safe depth of 130 meters, 6 torpedo tubes, and the ability to carry 23 torpedoes. Endurance: 11,150 nautical miles / 12 knots above water, 285 nautical miles / 6 knots underwater. Submariners: 6 officers, 24 non-commissioned officers, 34 sailors. Hans walked and introduced the brand-new submarine, which is only half finished so far.

Fang Jianxiong smiled with satisfaction as he listened. This submarine should be considered the most powerful submarine in this era. For a long time, Fang Jianxiong's biggest investment in the navy is not submarines, but he has always insisted on digesting German technology and focusing on cultivating domestic submarine manufacturing talents.
