During his stay in Shanghai, Xie Niancheng and Song Meimei "wrestled" several times, and accompanied Kong Lingying to run horses and hunt, and agreed on a cooperation agreement with the Kong family and the Song family.

The Kong family and the Song family were willing to endorse Xie Niancheng's purchase of industrial equipment on credit, and they prepared 50 million oceans in the first stage, and if necessary, they could add 50 million oceans in the later stage.

Xie Niancheng was only responsible for setting the policy of cooperation with the Kong family and the Song family, and he left the specific things to Ye Xiaoqiu and Xie Xinyi to do, and he took Yang Yuwei and Lolita on the warship sent by Mandrian and set off for Germany.

Huang Yingjie and Su Die, the two spy leaders, also got together and talked for several days, and after Xie Niancheng left for Europe, Huang Yingjie stayed in Shanghai to establish an intelligence network of the secret service outside Sichuan. Su Die rushed to Sichuan to develop a group of personnel from the confidential bureau in the army, government, and the people.

Kong Lingying and Song Meimei naturally came to the dock to see each other off, and in the end, Song Meimei actually burst into tears, which greatly surprised Xie Nian's sincerity.

"Could it be that the rumors in the rivers and lakes that Song Meimei is going to marry Jiang Wei are just rumors?"

After Xie Niancheng's warship arrived in Guangzhou, his first stop was to Meiling.

After the Northern Expedition of the Revolutionary Army, Meiling lost the excitement of thousands of recruits training at the same time.

Now in Meiling, most of the houses are used as warehouses.

Knowing that Xie Niancheng was coming, Lao Hei, the water ghost and Xia Na naturally waited early.

"Hello Commander-in-Chief Xie!"

Old Black and the water ghost said hello in unison.

For this Commander-in-Chief Xie, Lao Hei and the water ghost admired him so much.

The two of them watched with their own eyes how Xie Niancheng grew the team from a few people to hundreds of thousands now.

Xie Niancheng waved his hand. motioned for the three of them to sit down: "How is it, you all tell me, how are you doing?" ”

Lao Hei replied first about the special goods: "Commander." After the Kong family withdrew from the business, we made more and more money. According to the commander's instructions, in addition to receiving goods in Southeast Asia, we are now also deploying production bases in Central and South America. In addition to special goods, large. We've also started to deal with hemp stuff. Now I have people in more than 30 countries, and there are almost 10,000 people in total, and I can earn at least 50 million oceans every year. ”

The water ghost said: "Miss Xia and I now have more than 30,000 people under our command. It is the largest force in the entire South Seas. However, the profit of our special goods is not high, and it is good to earn 20 million oceans in a year. ”

Xie Niancheng came to Meiling. Of course, not just to listen to these situations, he said a grand plan in his heart: "Lao Hei, your organization has a new name, and it will be called 'Tianli'. Specializing in business. Don't have any relationship with the water ghosts, Xana, and them. You pay attention to receiving telegrams from the Secret Service and the Confidential Bureau, and cooperate with them to spread the intelligence network to various countries. ”

"Water ghost, I heard that the situation of the Chinese in the Nanyang area is not very good now, tell me what's going on."

Speaking of this, the water ghost's face was a little heavy: "In the past, when the Han Empire existed, the Chinese were all high-class people with dignity and status in all parts of Nanyang, but now all parts of Nanyang have either become colonies of Westerners. Either the natives became independent with the support of the Westerners, and the situation of the Chinese was miserable. ”

"Nice place. The Chinese can continue to live, but they are subject to some exploitation, such as Malaya and Sin Chau. But in some places, the Chinese are suffering from terrible playoffs, especially in Luzon, Java and other areas, where the Chinese are suffering from organized and premeditated massacres. ”

"The Chinese in the areas where the massacres and anti-Chinese movements took place either fled back to the mainland or went incognito. In short, now that the Chinese are in Nanyang, it can be said that they have become third-class citizens after foreigners and natives. ”

Xie Niancheng's heart was on fire: Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!

"Water ghosts, Xana, don't just beg for a living at sea in the future...... From today onwards, you can keep most of the money you earn, and you don't have to rush to turn it in. You should carry out activities in the Nanyang area in the name of the 'Huaxing Society', organize military struggles, and try to help the Chinese in Nanyang. However, you must pay attention to strategy and tactics, do not clash head-on with Westerners, try to develop your strength secretly, and there will always be a time to settle the score. ”

"Lao Hei, when you ship in Europe, America, Japan and other regions, the price is a little higher, and you really can't sell it, so you will pull it to Nanyang for those natives to eat. The money earned in the business is divided into three parts, one is handed over, one is for personal use, and the rest of the money is given to the water ghost and Xana. ”

"In short, if we want to let the Chinese in Nanyang have a head start, one day, our Chinese Revolutionary Army will fight in Nanyang and liberate them. When the time comes, you will be the best internal response! ”

Lao Hei and Xia Na's political sensitivity is very low, and they can only nod their heads to Xie Niancheng's instructions.

The water ghost said: "Commander, the people under us now, it's okay to fight, kill and kill, and do something else, maybe the ability is insufficient, and I'm afraid of ruining the commander's big things." ”

"This is not a problem, I immediately sent a telegram to transfer a group of cadres from Sichuan to the National Salvation Association. After you arrive in Nanyang, pay attention to the development of some Chinese who have read books. In addition, among the overseas Chinese who fled from Nanyang on the Liangguang, Fujian, and Honghe sides, they can also pick some to participate in the team. ”

"Commander, we've all heard of the Salvation Society, can we join the Association?" The water ghost showed his loyalty.

"No problem, I will now appoint you to be the president of the Nanyang branch of the Salvation Congress, and Lao Hei and Xia Na will be the vice presidents."

"Commander, what is this salvation club for?" Lao Hei couldn't figure it out.

The water ghost said: "Brother Hei, you still don't understand? To save the country is to listen to Commander Xie, and we will do whatever Commander Xie says...... Commander Xie took us to save the country! ”

The water ghost nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Commander Xie wants to save the country, we are Commander Xie's people, and naturally we are the people who save the country!" ”

The discussion between the three big men is in full swing, and Xana has been wandering around the world.

Xie Niancheng still cares about this family member very much.

"Xana, what do you want?"

"Big brother, I'm wondering, when will we have warships? We have a lot of people now, but we don't have warships. When encountering warships of various countries, they can only walk around. As far as the boat you are on, we can't do anything about it. ”

The ship that Manderian sent to pick up Xie Niancheng and the gold was a 12,000-ton cruiser, and the pirates had a way to take it. That's weird.

The water ghost and Lao Hei are now begging for a living at sea, and when they hear Xana's words, they also feel the same way.

"Commander, we only understand now at sea that we can't do it without a navy."

When it comes to the issue of the navy, the spirit just now is gone.

this era. The navy is the most expensive type of service!

Xie Niancheng collected wealth in Sichuan for so long, 565 tons of gold and more than 3,000 tons of silver, and he could only build more than 20 battleships.

But the question is, will it be possible to spend all this money on the purchase of battleships? Do you need to develop the economy? Even if you grit your teeth. I'm afraid I can only come up with a tenth of the money to buy two or three.

Two or three battleships, not to mention the British Empire, the world's largest power, even China's neighbor Japan, now has eight battleships!

With the fall of the Han Empire. The once great maritime power no longer exists. Whether it's the current warlord government or the federal government. None of them have the ability to make warships of more than 1,000 tons, and of course there is no navy!

But if you want to recover the South Seas, it is impossible to do without a navy.

"You do what I say first, trust me, the navy will have it."

Xie Niancheng can only draw a cake first.

The old black and the water ghost naturally knew how difficult it was to own a shipyard to build battleships.

Xana didn't know, "Big brother, when will we be able to build our own battleship?" ”

That's a really hard question to answer.

Xie Niancheng thought about it. "How about ten years?"

"Ten years?"

Xana didn't look disappointed. "Okay, big brother. We're waiting for our own warship in the South Seas! When the time comes, I'm going to open the biggest and best one, okay? ”

Xia Na's self-confidence infected Xie Niancheng.

"Okay, I promise you, our first Chinese battleship is called 'Xana'."

On this day, the "Huaxing Guerrillas," which terrified the Nanyang countries, were formally established.

After arranging the affairs of Nanyang, Xie Niancheng returned to Guangzhou a few times.

Yang Yuwei took Lolita to meet classmates and friends at school.

Xie Niancheng went to the German consulate to find William.

This time he went to Germany, Xie Niancheng did not have time to inspect various equipment.

It is a matter of confidentiality, and Xie Niancheng has never communicated with Mandrian the details of his trip to Germany.

Only when you go to the German consulate can you use the German consulate's top-secret telegraph machine and password to inform you in advance of your itinerary and the purpose of your trip to Germany.

Wilhelm took Xie Niancheng's telegram and personally sent it to Germany.

"Mandrian, my friend...... My troops now control the whole of Sichuan, a province about the size of France, with a population of 50 million and an abundance of coal and iron mines. ”

"There's no industry here, I need to bring the people here to develop. We need a lot of heavy industrial equipment. I plan to build a steel plant, a coal mine, a power plant, a machine tool factory, a machinery factory, a water plant, an engine factory...... We want to build a complete industrial system! But right now, we don't have the equipment, we don't have the technicians. ”

"Germany is the best country in the world with the best machinery, so I ask you, my friend, for help."

"We are very backward and have no funds, so in addition to the machine tools, all other complete sets of equipment can be used with old equipment that has been obsolete in Germany, but we also need technicians for the relevant equipment."

"In order to get these equipment and personnel, I mobilized my people to collect gold, the old man took out the gold bracelet, the girl took off the gold necklace, and a total of 565 tons of gold were raised, which is all we have, hoping to exchange it for the equipment and personnel needed to build our hometown."

"Your friend: Xie Niancheng."

After sending the telegram, William's expression was very stern.

He got up and saluted Xie Niancheng with a military salute: "Commander-in-Chief Xie, as a soldier, I admire your military talent very much; But as a person, I admire your dedication to the motherland even more. After coming to China for a long time, you are the first person I have met who can truly think about the motherland...... People like you, wherever you go, deserve respect. ”

Seeing the serious William, Xie Niancheng also returned a salute: "I think, Mr. Mandryan, is also such a person." (To be continued......)
