The vast South China Sea, calm and calm, rare good weather. The blue waves are like a vast mirror, and the propellers stir up the waves of white flowers, swinging waves, sparkling in the sun, until they reach the horizontal line where there is no edge in sight.

Seabirds soar in the sky, flocks of fish, and a variety of underwater flora and fauna, forming a rare treasure trove of resources.

It was a fleet, with a cruiser leading a destroyer with the yellow and blue South China Navy flag on it, and behind them was a large cruise ship with the South China flag on it.

There was also a destroyer following the cruise ship.

When passing by several fishing boats, the fishermen above saw the warships passing by, and a solemn look appeared on their faces. Fishing in the international waters of the South China Sea not only faces the risk of wind and waves at sea, but also may be manipulated by warships of other countries.

If you run into some unethical guys, the situation will be very unlucky.

The yellow and blue flags fluttered in the wind, and the fishermen breathed a sigh of relief and felt cordial. In the South China Sea, Chinese fishermen see their own country's flag when they see the yellow and blue flags.

A cruiser, the escort fleet composed of two destroyers looks a little shabby, and it is also a relatively good belongings of the South China Navy, and it is rare that these warships are all domestic warships of South China.

The convoy was followed by seven or eight steamers, ranging in tonnage from 20,000 to 3,000 to 4,000 tons, of varying sizes, including steamers carrying passengers and cargo from Tangshan Port, Palembang, Surabaya, and other major ports in South China, as well as European merchant ships coming from the Strait of Malacca.

The two largest ships both weigh more than 20,000 tons, and one is a tanker departing from Palembang. It was loaded with gasoline and diesel produced at the Palembang Oil Refinery. The other is also from Sumatra. But it's not oil that's loaded, it's coal mines from Sumatra.

Meihua Mining Company imports large quantities of oil and minerals and other bulk commodities from overseas every year to supply the resource-poor industrial zones of the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta, so it is not surprising to see Meihua oil tankers and ore carriers in the South China Sea.

Wu Manli stood on the deck for a while, the sea and the sky were wide, which made people feel refreshed, and her eyes fell on the face of the little boy who was sketching next to her from time to time, looking at his attentive appearance. Her gaze is very gentle and loving.

"Xiao Nan's painting is decent!" He Wenxiu walked over and looked at Wu Sinan's paintings, and commented with a smile. Behind him were several other people, all of whom were members of the entourage.

Wu Manli greeted him with a smile, touched her son's head, and said a little proudly: "He has a bit of talent in this area, but painting can't be eaten as a meal, it's enough to have a pastime in your spare time." You have to focus on your studies. ”

"You're too strict with your children." He Wenxiu shook his head, Wu Manxiu didn't answer, and didn't want to talk about this topic. He Wenxiu couldn't say anything more.

"Woody Island ahead?" When I met the land, I felt excited. He Wenxiu pointed to an island not far away.

The island is relatively desolate, there are a few temporary grass huts, I don't see anyone, but there are more birds, flying around on it, so it's not lively.

"That's right! It is Woody Island, the largest island in the South China Sea. Jiang Weiji took the opportunity to reply.

"Oh? You know that! Tell me about it? He Wenxiu looked back and saw that it was Jiang Weiji, who had recently made a lot of contributions, and asked with a smile.

"I have gone up and down several times, passing through this small island, and I have heard others talk about it, and I will remember it. It's a pity that I haven't had a chance to go up and have a look. ”

Jiang Weiji said modestly, "But I know a little bit about the situation on the island, there are no people on the island, there are birds on it, and over time, there are a lot of guano on the island, so Japanese businessmen secretly run up to collect guano."

Later, when the Nanxing Steamship Company learned of this situation, they drove the Japanese away and organized workers to go to the island to collect guano and transport it back to the mainland. This business is not small, and my family's newly opened estate uses guano to fertilize the fields. ”

South China has a well-developed economy and planting industry, and the Chinese are keen to manage the land, and people like Jiang Weiji who are keen on career are no exception, and the Chinese are cultivating estates while plundering land from the natives and driving the fertilizer market.

The construction of a fertilizer plant by the Meihua Chemical Company was a solution, and the businessmen who lacked strength but had a keen sense of smell set their sights on the island guano and the Southern Star Steamship Company just at the right time, and Woody Island was on the route of the Southern Star Steamship Company.

"Nanxing Steamship Company has made several reports that it wants to do something on the South China Sea route, build a lighthouse, build a navigation beacon or something, but the South China Sea is not my country's territory, and if we want to develop the South China Sea, we still have to discuss it with Wuhan."

He Wenxiu said.

"Song Ziwen wants to carry out financial reform, rectify taxation, and issue currency, all of which are inseparable from our support. They can't develop the South China Sea, and the Paracel Islands are all in the hands of the French, so we are not allowed to be enthusiastic? ”

Wu Manli said confidently.

"That's right, after all, we brought a big gift this time. They ask us more than we ask of them. ”

He Wenxiu said with a smile.

Looking back at the entourage around him, He Wenxiu whispered to Wu Manli: "You must be optimistic about the things transported on the ship, and you must also do a good job of keeping them secret." ”

"No problem, I personally went to the cabin to inspect it, and there were people inside and out."

Wu Manli nodded.

"That's good."

Sumatra, also known as Gold Island, is rich in gold, and this northward visit fleet has a large amount of gold secretly transported from South China to China, with a scale of 100 tons!

In order to support Wuhan's monetary reform, Nanhua has made a lot of blood, which is why He Wenxiu said that he brought a big gift.

The flotilla encountered many foreign warships on its way north, including the British Far East Fleet and Japanese warships, but fortunately there were no accidents. When they arrived in Hainan, the South China Sea Fleet in Guangzhou Bay, opposite Hainan Island, sent warships to meet them and escorted them all the way to Nansha Port in Guangzhou.

The ship was carrying so much gold, and in order to avoid passing through the Taiwan Strait, the gold was secretly loaded onto the railway at Nansha Port and sent to Wuhan by the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway.

Foreign Minister Wu Chaoshu, who succeeded Song ML, ceremoniously greeted South China Premier Ho Van Xiu and his entourage in Guangzhou and accompanied them on a luxury train heading north.

Song Ziwen had always been nervous, and was ecstatic when he learned that the gold had landed. Have a good time alone in the office.

He Wenxiu walked out of Wuchang Station. I looked around. nodded, and said to Wu Manli: "This station is bigger than Tangshan Station." ”

"China has a vast land and a large population, and the United States and China have invested ten times more in China Railway Corporation than in Java Railway, and Wuchang Station is the core hub of China's railway network, so it should be larger than Tangshan Station."

Wu Manli said enviously.

Remind He Wenxiu that the southern railway network is a billion-dollar megaproject, and the scale of the Wuhan railway is enough to scare the founder Zhang Zhidong out of the ground.

"Yes. The heritage of the mainland of the motherland is not comparable to that of South China, but we also have our own strengths, we have no historical baggage, we are rich in resources, and we can plan the direction of development at will. Our shipping industry is more developed than here, and our shipbuilding industry is also more developed than here. ”

He Wenxiu said.

Without waiting for He Wenxiu to come over, Song Ziwen, Lin Yimin and others took the initiative to step forward. To a certain extent, the people who came from South China were not like national leaders, but "colleagues" of the United States and China.

The two sides not only know each other, but also know each other well. There are also incomprehensible close relationships.

He Wenxiu and Wu Manli are all relatives of Song Ziwen, and Huang Zhonghan and Lin Yimin, the ministers of transportation of South China who came with He Wenxiu, are Weng's sons-in-law. And Lin Yimin and Situ Nan are master and servant, friend and partner - these people are in a gang.

"Premier He, I finally look forward to you, when you arrive in Wuhan, you must entertain the friends of Nanhua well."

Song Ziwen enthusiastically took He Wenxiu's hand.

"I haven't seen him for many years, Ziwen is still acute, and he hasn't changed at all. If I call you Ziwen, you can call me Brother He directly. He Wenxiu said with a smile.

Song Ziwen smiled and nodded in response.

After the two sides exchanged greetings like old friends, Song Ziwen sighed with emotion: "Recently, there has been a financial war with foreigners, and the gold in Wuhan, Shanghai and other big cities has been exchanged by some foreign companies. ”

"Where are the speculators, Nanhua also came over like this a few years ago, and those clowns who jumped off the beam can't turn the sky." He Wenxiu said angrily.

While walking out of the train station, He Wenxiu couldn't help but admire Wuchang Station, and by the way, he also praised the Wuhan government's achievements in transportation infrastructure. Huang Zhonghan, Minister of Communications, took the hand of Zhang Jingjiang, chairman of China Railway Corporation, and praised him and exchanged his experience in train containers.

"After the completion of the Yangtze River Bridge, the station originally called Wuhan Station was renamed Wuchang Station, and after several expansions, the scale can accommodate hundreds of locomotives, and even the recently popular containers can be loaded with more than 2,000 per day. Xiaguan, Baoshan, Nansha and other major port terminals have been and are being equipped with new gantry cranes, connecting water transportation and railway through containers, which is a great initiative. ”

Huang Zhonghan followed Zhang Jingjiang's words: "Yes, yes. We are also working hard to cooperate with Nanxing Steamship Company to send Chinese containers into the railway network of Nanhua, and we can also send Nanhua containers to California, USA. Southern Star Steamship Company and California Shipping Company have partnered to build a joint venture to build container handling terminals in San Francisco and Long Beach. ”

Huang Zhonghan's attitude made Lin Yimin on the side look at it and shook his head, although you are the major shareholder of the South China Railway, and your share is second only to Situ Nan, but you will not be reserved!

The old father-in-law is not like a dignified high-ranking government official, but like the boss of a railway company, and he and Zhang Jingjiang have the feeling of seeing each other late.

Lin Yimin heard Situ Nan say that with the support of the US-China consortium and the government, Nanhua and China have realized sea and land joint ventures, greatly improved transportation efficiency, and also carried out container experiments, which seem to have been successful, but the container model is limited by machinery and equipment and the level of industrial development in the world, and there is still a long way to go if it is to be rolled out on a large scale.

After the railway, the US-China consortium and the Zhi Gong Party government reached a consensus to invest more resources in the field of road transportation, one is to build roads, and the other is to develop the automobile industry.

Hiding this thought in his heart, after Lin Yimin said hello to the old father-in-law, his attention shifted to Wu Manli, to be precise, to Wu Sinan, who was behind Wu Manli and was held by Jiang Weiji.

"Sister-in-law, it's rare to meet, this time I must live at home with the little master for a day, so that I can do my landlord's friendship." Lin Yimin said respectfully to Wu Manli.

"Good!" Wu Manli smiled and beckoned Wu Sinan to come over, "This is Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin who hugged you before, say hello to Uncle Lin." ”

"Hello Uncle Lin!" Wu Sinan greeted Lin Yimin seriously and bowed slightly. I'm not afraid of life at all, and I have the demeanor of a teenager and an old man.

"Xiao Nan is good! There are a lot of fun toys and delicious things in my uncle's house, just waiting for you! ”

Lin Yimin squatted down and picked up Wu Sinan and kissed his little cheek.

Wu Manli stood and watched with a smile, loving the house and Wu, to Wu Sinan and Lin Yimin is heartfelt liking.

Not only Lin Yimin, Song Ziwen and others liked Wu Sinan very much, and praised Wu Manli for her good education, Wu Manli got off the train, and the proud smile on her face never stopped.

A FART CHILD IS SO FAVORED, WHICH MAKES JIANG WEIJI WHO ACCOMPANIED HIM VERY ENVIOUS, HE IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF JIANG JINGGUO AGAIN, AND ENDLESS HOPE ROSE IN HIS HEART, HIS SON FOLLOWED WU SINAN'S FATHER, AND HE ALSO HAD A GREAT FUTURE IN THE FUTURE. (To be continued.) )
