"Adequate logistics are the basis for victory, and you are very bold."
Situ Nan said to Lin Yimin with encouragement, like Song Ziwen, this young entrepreneur has completed the transformation into government affairs, and since he was in charge of the financial power of the Guangzhou government, he has done a great job of raising enough military funds to effectively ensure the smooth progress of the war ahead.
"I'm probably the happiest treasurer in the country, who told me to spend a lot of money."
Lin Yimin said with a smile and took the document he had just signed from Situ Nan's hand. Situ Nantong GuΓ² Meihua Bank has again provided an interest-free loan of US$30 million to the Guangzhou government.
This is not the first, nor the last, nor the largest, but Situ Nan's attempt to ensure that the Northern Expedition proceeds more smoothly and is conducive to the imminent resumption of the customs of the southern provinces from the British by the Canton government.
The Xinhai Revolution was abandoned halfway, and Sun Yat-sen had to give way to Yuan Shikai, the most important reason was that there was no money!
The customs were held in the hands of foreigners, and no money could be paid, and the revolutionary government of the South, with all its great enthusiasm, could not meet the costs of the army's operations.
The young master is really a young master, and he is generous, and with this money, it is enough to maintain government expenses and fight the army for a long time. You must know that the Guangzhou government now controls the six provinces of Guangzhou, Yunnan, Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi, and the cost of maintaining the effective operation of the government alone is an astronomical amount.
And when the army fights, spending money is like flowing water, frantically devouring huge amounts of materials, no wonder there is a saying that "when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels".
"The young master has had a good harvest in the past two years, and the business has been even more prosperous. That's less than a fraction of the money of the oil companies, right? β
Lin Yimin got a bargain and carefully put Wen JiΓ n in his bag.
"You mean it?" Situ Nan snorted, and said sternly, "The money has been given to you, and there should be no problem with the battle ahead." Give you half a year to be sure to take back customs from the British. At the same time, an effective and rapid government team should be established to clear up the ghosts and snakes and spirits of the ox, ghosts, snakes, and gods, so as to create a good environment for the next large-scale industrial construction. β
"Don't worry! I've been waiting for this day for a long time. You won't be disappointed. β
Lin Yimin made a military order, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious.
As he said, he gave up his overseas development for the day that was coming. Painstakingly manage the investment of Meihua Company in China. The great blueprint has already been planned, and it is waiting to be shown.
I hope you don't let me down!
Looking at Lin Yimin's distant back, Situ Nan secretly said that only Lin Yimin knew Situ Nan's thoughts best, and Situ Nan was relieved when he looked at the government.
Grab the money in one hand and the gun in the other. What's not to worry about?
In general, Situ Nan is still a person with a strong desire for power, because of his heavy historical memory, he is particularly worried about the situation in China, and he looks at it relatively closely, and he can't tolerate a slight difference.
β¦β¦
"Honey, look at my dress, is it okay?"
Song ML's beautiful figure swirled around in front of Situ Nan. The dark green and elegant cheongsam can't cover her style at all, like a blooming rose, mature and charming, slightly green.
It is also only in the Situ Mansion. She only showed her moisturized femininity, and she was outside, but she was a strong woman who was resolute.
Situ Nan smiled slightly and praised: "Very good, very suitable for your temperament." "Heart, women, this animal is like flowers, from eight to eighty years old, they need praise to nourish them.
"Thank you. But that's what you said about the last one. β
Song ML said to Situ Nan in vain, and he was reluctant to change this dark green cheongsam. Put on a mink coat and get on the boat to Shanghai.
And, of course, Situ Nan.
When passing through the Taiwan Strait, I met a Navy patrol warship, the flag looked a little tattered, and the hull was very old. There is an indescribable twilight.
Surprisingly, there are quite a few cargo stacked on the deck of the ship, which looks like it is being transported. The people on the same ship confirmed this, and Situ Nan woke up to the fact that China still has the navy, to be precise, the Beiyang navy.
"In the Battle of Mawei, the Mawei fleet is gone. In the First Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese Navy was gone. β
Situ Nan laughed at himself, turned to look in the direction of Taiwan, and was secretly indignant in his heart.
"That ship should belong to the Fujian Navy, and the military budget is insufficient, and it is helpless to occasionally use it for some side jobs. However, the Fujian navy has always been stubborn, and others cannot gain a foothold at all. In the future, when we build our own navy, we must not fall into the hands of these people. β
Song ML said calmly.
Speaking of which, the strength of the Canton fleet was not bad, and several destroyers were replenished from Nanhua, which were captured by the South China Defense Forces from the Netherlands and later transferred to the Canton government.
In addition, the Guangdong fleet still has three old submarines, and the government has begun to increase the construction of the Whampoa Military Academy and the Naval Academy, and the government will increase its support for the shipbuilding industry in the future, and the prospects for the navy should be bright.
Compared with the declining Fujian Navy, it is considered to be thriving, but the Guangzhou government did not plan to let this rare naval seed participate in the civil war, and the most used is to travel back and forth in the South China Sea and serve as an escort mission for the route between Guangxi and South China.
"You mean, we'll get the Fujian Navy soon?" Situ Nan looked at Song ML in surprise, a little surprised.
"Of course." Song ML nodded and said confidently.
"Wuhan, we have established our dominance in the south, just Qi Xieyuan in Jiangsu and Sun Chuanfang in Zhejiang, these two are not amazing talents, are they better than Wu Peifu? Therefore, it is natural for the Fujian Navy to take refuge in us, otherwise when we take Fujian, they will have to obey it. β
"You see what you're talking about, that's right! The analysis is in place, so it's better to make you the Minister of the Navy. Situ Nan smiled, secretly surprised by Song Meiling's maturity in politics.
"I would like to, but how can a woman be the Secretary of the Navy?" Song Meiling was very happy to hear it, but she didn't take Situ Nan's words seriously.
Looking back at the warship that had disappeared into the sea, Situ Nan found a larger warship sailing in front of him, and the swaggering sun flag was indescribably dazzling, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
"Damn, damn unappetizing! In the future, our navy will see a ship flying the plaster flag and send it to the bottom of the sea! β
Situ Nan whispered, spat out his saliva, and spit the depression in his heart into the sea.
This scene fell into Song ML's eyes, but he didn't expect this always elegant and indifferent Situ Nan to have such a radical side. Even those radical youths on the streets of Guangzhou did not dare to say that they were going to send the Japanese ship to the bottom of the sea, right? But Situ Nan said that he was so domineering, as if he could really do it.
Song Meiling felt as if something had been touched in her heart. At this moment, it is like standing with Situ Nan, forever.
She smiled softly and shook Situ Nan's hand as a sign of encouragement.
"What? Unbelief!? Situ Nan's heart warmed. Half-jokingly, "Your husband does what I say!" I'm a giant in the shipbuilding industry, and the U.S. Navy can't do without Lao Tzu's shipyard.
Most of the shipyards that Nanhua is building now are related to me, and I have dragged Bethlehem in the United States and Krupp in Germany to Nanhua to build ships. It won't be long before the domestic shipbuilding industry will usher in a boom. β
"By the way, the world's largest aircraft manufacturing company is also mine, have you ever heard of hitting warships with airplanes? Drop bombs or fish off your head. Even the strongest battleship has to sink. Hehe! β
Situ Nan boasted, there was a fire in his heart, as if he was uncomfortable if he didn't vent it.
The truth he said, but in Song Meiling's opinion, this is too big. Situ Nan made her fortune from oil, and she knew that there was a lot of money, and she did have a lot of assets. It can be described as a rich country, but it shouldn't be the first in the world as he said, right?
As a mature woman, of course she would not poke Situ Nan to her face. Man. In front of the woman you love, you have to be able to do something.
Originally, Situ Nan wanted to break the news again, but when he looked down at Song Meiling's expression, he probably understood her thoughts, so he had to stop and not say anything. In fact, even the original secretary Lin Yimin didn't know exactly about Situ Nan.
Who would have believed that Situ Nan had built a business empire that was no less than Mellon and Rockefeller in just over a decade? If it weren't for the concern in my heart, I wouldn't have run back to my motherland thousands of miles away!
The encounter with a Japanese warship at sea gave Situ Nan a wake-up call. Seeing that the Guangzhou government unified the south, the Japanese should not be able to sit still, and they will definitely jump out to make trouble. And the best place to do this is Shanghai.
"The situation in Shanghai is not very good, and factories often go on strike, especially foreign-owned factories. If we are provoked by someone with a heart, it is easy for us to have embarrassing things with the British or the United States. And we weren't going to fall out with them completely.
After all, this is a revolution, and the British exploit us the most severely, and they have always been arrogantβ"
Situ Nan said sensitively.
"You mean, somebody wants to make a profit?" Song Meiling frowned, probably thinking of the object of Situ Nan's suspicion.
"Every time China is turbulent, the Japanese always benefit. I heard that the head of the Japanese spy in Shanghai is called Okamura Ninji, he is a conspirator, he should not let go of such a good opportunity, right? β
Situ Nan said lightly, in exchange for He Yongyuan's two orders.
Then he whispered to the sea: "...... Drift away with the waves, the waves are thousands of miles, and the unforgettable is still the deep blue ......"
"This song sounds uncomfortable, why have I never heard it before?"
Song ML looked at Situ Nan suspiciously, those deep eyes were like the sea, hiding countless secrets, fascinating, and I couldn't help but be stupid.
Song Meiling's return made the calm Song family lively, and the old lady Song, who was usually cold, took the woman's hand and was reluctant to put it down, and after a greeting, her eyes fell on Situ Nan's face intentionally or unintentionally.
"My daughter can't help it, I can't talk about you. You'll see what to do, right? The old lady looked at her glorious and delicate daughter and sighed in her heart.
The children of the Song family have been strong since they were young, and everyone is very independent, since Song Meiling has decided, she has no choice but to admit it.
Pulling her daughter into the room, the old lady anxiously asked about the relationship between the two. After Song Meiling explained in detail, the old lady's face immediately changed, and she regretted: "You, confused! β
"I've decided. The path I chose was chosen, and even if I regret it, it will be in the future. Song Meiling pursed her lips and looked firm, "Besides, I want to create a big name and contribute to this country." Besides him, can the woman of that family show up like me? Look at it, I'm no worse than my brother. β
"By the way, Ziwen sent a telegram yesterday to pick up the family. What do you mean? The old lady asked.
Song Ziwen's brothers and sisters have a lot of potential, and it is inevitable that the old lady will follow him to Wuhan. I just thought of leaving the old house in Shanghai, and I was a little reluctant. RS
