As for whether to work with Feng Zhang to kill Wu Peifu, the Guangzhou government has not made a decision for the time being. ◎ Smart children remember to play super fast hand update ◎ However, it does not hinder the business exchanges between the two Guangxi and the Northeast, and the Japanese bills flooded in the Northeast are not collected, and Feng Zhang uses the minerals, agricultural products and other resources of the Northeast in exchange for arms and materials of the Guangzhou government.

There was also an atmosphere of pre-war traffic in the busy downtown area of Guangzhou, with frequent police patrols, and a group of ruffians who had done a lot of evil in normal times were suddenly liquidated and sent to prison.

Yunnan was at war, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were also at war, and the warlords in the north were about to move, and after two years of calm, a nationwide upheaval was about to begin.

In the past four years, the commercial city has been in good weather, and the policy of inter-provincial autonomy has been recognized by the majority of the people, and many people have begun to worry that Guangzhou will be involved in the turmoil in the north, and if it fails, the tragedy of the joint scourge of warlords from other provinces against Guangzhou is likely to be repeated again.

There are not many more people who are optimistic, believing that the army of the Guangzhou government has the ability to win this war. Yunnan will soon be liberated, political reforms will be carried out, and industry and commerce will be developed.

"Here, young master, Guangzhou has changed a lot now, and it's no worse than Medan."

The Taiping Ship sailed into Nansha Port, and Guangzhou was in front of you. Lin Yimin excitedly led Situ Nan out of the cabin, Nansha Port has now replaced Huangpu Port and become the main port of Guangzhou, more and more large merchant ships from the ocean choose Nansha Port, and Australian iron ore and Annam coal are transported to Nansha Port and sent to nearby steel mills to support Guangzhou's industrial construction.

Situ Nan took off his sunglasses and stood on the tall side of the ship, the dock was busy, and the large crane roared to unload bundles of goods from the ship, nodded with a smile, and said in his heart: It's been a long time, Guangzhou!

"On the handling of bulk cargo. Nansha Port is in front of the major ports in the country, replacing most of the manual operations with machines, so here, we can't see the coolie workers of a few years ago. ”

Lin Yimin stood aside. Introduced with a smile. The busy crowd was getting off the Taiping, but Situ Nan was in no hurry to get off the ship, wanting to take a closer look at the very different Nansha Port.

Looking to the north, it is as if you have seen a thriving city of Guangzhou. It is hundreds of kilometers away from the city, and the city of Guangzhou cannot be seen, but the towering chimneys of the Nansha Industrial Zone are pleasing to Situ Nan.

"For thousands of years, our country has been like a mummy wrapped in silk and coated with a thick layer of material. But now that those chimneys in the factory have changed that, it's certainly a great start. ”

Situ Nan said in high spirits that nothing could destroy the stale of this ancient and huge country more than industry.

"Haha. It was from here that Lao Tzu landed, rushed thousands of miles to Guangzhou, and won the city of Guangzhou in one fell swoop. ”

Standing beside Situ Nan was a sturdy and tall general, four years ago, Situ Yong was a major commander when he participated in the Guangdong-Guizhou War, and now he is a major general of the South China Defense Force.

After the South China War of Independence two years ago. became more calm, and there was a faint tiger power between his eyebrows. Behind him, there were a dozen or so tall officers. They were all military visiting regiments sent by South China. At this sensitive moment, the purpose of their visit to Guangzhou is self-evident.

"Get out! I'm holding back my whining here. ”

Situ Nan glanced at Situ Yong, the wharf below was already under martial law, and several cars were parked on the side, with military flags planted on them, they were here to welcome the South China military visiting WÈN regiment.

A group of soldiers blocked the passage, and the bright bayonets made the surrounding crowd consciously lean to the side, and many realized that the big man was coming.

"I'll go first!" Situ Yong was not annoyed, and tidied up his dress. His face turned pale and he got off the boat, followed by a group of energetic young officers.

Situ Nan really didn't want to get off the ship with these guys, although he liked to be with those energetic officers, who were all the elite of the South China Defense Force.

In the past two years, Nanhua has successively sent more than 10,000 volunteers to join Guangzhou secretly, many of whom are naval and air force officers, after the end of the war. A significant part of these people will stay and fight for the gradual unification of the country. At this point, Situ Nan's goal of using Nanhua as the rear base of the Chinese revolution had been realized. This naturally aroused the attention of many people, but the Guangzhou government has not made any noise, and others will not pay much attention to it, until the Yunnan war that happened not long ago, people remembered that four years ago, the army that broke through the bamboo to unify the two Guangzhou.

"Sue Mr. Chen, I will inspect Nansha Port today, and I will contact you tomorrow when I arrive in Guangzhou."

Situ Nan said to He Yongyuan behind him. On his current visit to Guangzhou, he will first have a meeting with Chen Tianming, minister of finance of the Guangzhou government, and at the same time, he will also discuss with Chen Jiongming the strategic arrangements for the future.

As soon as he got off the ship, Situ Nan couldn't wait to inspect the steel mills in Nansha.

"Now Guangzhou no longer needs to import rails from Hanyang Iron Works, and next year, after all eight Martin furnaces with a daily output of 40 tons imported from Germany are put into use, Nansha Iron and Steel Plant will be able to meet the needs of the Southwest Railway."

Lin Yimin accompanied Situ Nan to visit the pig iron factory that had just been completed, and he knew best that Situ Nan was interested in these things like iron and steel machinery.

Indeed, watching the flaming red steel plates being rolled out, anyone has just reached a sense of pride, especially in a poor and weak country, it is not easy to build such a great project.

Situ Nan nodded while looking at it, thinking that this is the iron and steel backbone of the Zhi Gong Party to gradually unify the whole country, without industrial construction, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a martial artist like Wu Peifu, and he will not be able to achieve a big deal after all.

"Young master, there is also a special steel factory that we cooperate with Krupp over there, do you want to take a look?" Lin Yimin whispered to Situ Nandao.

"What for? You know, I've seen a lot of this stuff in Nanhua. Situ Nan smiled, but stepped forward. Thanks to him, the steel projects of Nanhua and Liangguang were either imported from the Bethlehem Company of the United States or from the Krupp Company of Germany, and with the "help" of the world's steel giants, the steel industry of Nanhua and Liangguang embarked on the fast track.

"That's what you call special steel? It's just a cog. Situ Nan walked into one of the workshops, took a closer look, and found that there were many foreign engineers in the workshop, judging from their rigorous and focused expressions, they should be German goods.

The Germans were hungry in Germany, but after coming to China, they became fragrant and sweet. has a skill, and it is popular everywhere you go.

Situ Nan thought to himself.

"Don't underestimate these little pinions, they're meant to be installed in a car engine. The processing level is even better than that of Nanhua. ”

Lin Yimin said with a smile. Gently put down the metallic glow gear in his hand. I admire Situ Nan for thinking of "wholesale" technical talents from Germany, otherwise the steel factory in Nansha Port would not be as smooth as it is now.

Now that even the automobile industry has begun to develop in Guangzhou, manufacturing these car engine gears is an important step.

Hearing Lin Yimin say this, Situ Nan's expression became stern. With excitement in his eyes, he asked, "So, what about the quality?" ”

"It works, but it will improve slowly." Lin Yimin replied, remembered something, and asked again: "Do you want to try the diploma, our car?" Completely domestic. He deliberately accentuated his tone.

"Completely domestic?" Situ Nan was surprised. I didn't expect the achievements of Nansha Port Industrial Zone to be better than I imagined. If memory serves, Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan also began to manufacture automobiles around this time.

After a while, what appeared in front of Situ Nan was a very rudimentary "car", with four wheels and one engine, much more rudimentary than Ford's Model T, with an open cab and barely a seat, and an empty frame behind the seat.

"Can this thing be opened?" Situ Nan still didn't believe that Chinese workers could produce cars. But it's not hard to build a car, and a few years ago, Wang Zhu, an engineer who returned from Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company, produced an airplane in Guangzhou. It's really difficult to make a hundred, 10,000 cars, and at the moment only the United States has the ability to mass-produce cars.

Regarding Situ Nan's suspicions, Lin Yimin pursed his lips and personally gave Situ Nan a performance. The funny thing is that there is no electronic ignition, and you have to rely on the backward crank to shake the fire.

Seeing Lin Yimin pouting his ass high, Situ Nan couldn't help but smile, but as Lin Yimin said, that guy can run. Although it is a little clumsy and a little simple, as the first car made in China, Situ Nan still maintains a high respect.

"Our steel technology needs to be improved, and a large amount of stainless steel is used in the manufacture of weapons, otherwise we will import automobile production lines from foreign countries."

Lin Yimin said firmly. Since deciding to return to China for development. He works hard for the domestic industry all the time, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, when there is no Situ Nan by his side, he deeply understands this truth.

Guangzhou has China's only automobile production line, which is a joint project between Chrysler and Meihua, and important components such as engines and transmissions are imported, which is actually an assembly line.

This is the result of Situ Nan's arrangement, Chrysler also has automobile assembly lines in Nanhua and Japan, which can make a lot of money every year, and almost all the cars running in Guangzhou City are Chrysler products.

Situ Nan was supportive of Lin Yimin's ambition, and he patted Lin Yimin's shoulder and encouraged: "Take your time!" I hope that next time I come, I can get a 100% domestic car. ”

"Hmm." Lin Yimin nodded, not every place is as blessed as Detroit, and it is already a great miracle that in China, which is poor and white, it can have the current achievements.

In addition to automobiles, there is also a special factory in Nansha Port Industrial Zone, which is heavily guarded, Situ Nan went in to see, it turned out to be a tank factory, there is a tank assembly production line inside, using imported parts, can piece together a light tank, thin iron sheet, with dense rivets on it, carrying a small cannon of more than 20 calibers, there is an indescribable obscenity and ugliness, but it is the most powerful weapon of mass murder at present.

"Can this guy run?" Situ Nan asked. Relatively speaking, he felt that armored vehicles were more suitable for the country, but he could not ask too much for everything.

"It's ok. It is said that the military is quite satisfied. They formed an armored regiment, and a dozen tanks produced by the tank factory every month ran to their barracks. ”

Lin Yimin said with a smile.

For the weapons that appeared on the European battlefield, the Yue Gui Army, which was deeply influenced by the German staff officers, was quite fashionable, and there were planes, artillery, and submarines, but not everything, limited by production, except for aircraft, tanks and other armored weapons can only be equipped in small quantities, and can only have fun, as for what role it can play, the ghost knows. As for the navy, China really doesn't have a decent navy at the moment, and it would be good to have a few small ships that are familiar with the South China Sea.

Just when Situ Nan was inspecting Nansha Port with high spirits, there was a controversy in the Whampoa Military Academy.

"I don't think it's enough to send troops on the Guangdong-Hankou Railway alone. Our enemy is Wu Peifu, whose third division has been the strongest army in China since Yuan Shikai's small station training, and after more than ten years of development, it has almost won every battle. The combat effectiveness is amazing.

Against such a formidable enemy, we need to use new tactics, such as armored forces. Otherwise, even if we win against them, we will pay a considerable price, which is not worth it. You know, our enemies are not just Wu Peifu's family. ”

An officer in his thirties was grim-looking. His name was Bai Chongxi, and a year ago he was a lieutenant colonel in the South China Defense Force, but now he has become a promising major general in the Guangzhou Army, leading a group of staff officers who returned from South China to participate in the Northern Expedition plan.

In order to prevent leakage, the Northern Expedition plan was mainly carried out in the Whampoa Military Academy on the island.

Aircraft bombing, artillery bombardment, infantry rushing, and now there are more armored units. It seems that the German staff officers had a similar inclination. This Bai Chongxi came back from the South China Army General Staff and had fought in South China, so he should be very capable.

Chief of Staff Deng Keng sat aside and thought silently. He is the head of the Guangdong army, Chen Jiongming has no military talent, and after understanding the painstaking efforts of the Zhi Gong Party, he is now no longer involved in military power and concentrates on being the leader of politics, so Deng Keng became the supreme military leader of the Guangdong army.

Bai Chongxi's words went to his heart, if it is not necessary, it is best not to use the elite soldiers of the Guangzhou government and Wu Peifu to consume, since Bai Chongxi is so confident, why not let him try?

"What about your opinion? General Situ? Deng Keng asked Situ Yong, who had just gotten off the boat, with a smile.

Situ Yong is his old friend. Four years ago, he participated in the war against Lu Rongting and made great achievements. Biaoxiàn in Nanhua was even more powerful, having commanded the Medan garrison to defeat the Dutch army, and it was necessary for Deng Keng to ask Situ Yong's opinion.

At the same time, the great increase in the South China faction in the army was also caused by multiple reasons, and Deng Keng might as well be concerned about this result that was conducive to the growth of the Guangdong army.

"Actually. The concentrated use of armored forces This tactic had already been used in the South China War of Independence, and the effect was obvious. At that time, we mainly used armored vehicles, not many tanks, and after our planes blew up the artillery positions of the Dutch Army, they rushed up, almost invincible, and surrounded the Dutch Army with a light yì.

The Dutch Army, especially the reinforcements that came from the mainland later, their Suzhì were all first-rate, and they were also defeated by our tactics, and there were many reasons for this, but I think the construction of the White Staff Officer made sense, the problem is that our logistics must keep up. ”

Situ Yong affirmed.

"In that case, let's have a drill! Draw a division from our army against Bai Chongxi's armored brigade and see how it works? Who wants to? Deng Keng said with a decisive tone and turned his gaze to several division commanders in the Guangdong army.

After the meeting ended, Deng Keng and Situ Yong stayed.

"The one from your family is here?" Deng Keng asked with a smile as he poured tea into Situ Yong's cup. As early as four years ago, the Guangdong army was equipped with a car company, which defeated the old Gui army at that time, how could Deng Keng not know the power of armor.

"Here, I'm here to inspect Nansha." Situ Yong said with a smile, (Situ Nan's storage zài is not a secret at all in the high-level in Guangzhou,) took a sip of tea, and said, "This time I also brought 100 sets of tank engines and 300 sets of truck parts, and I am unloading them over there in Nansha." Well, there are also several officers of the armored corps. The training of armored troops in Whampoa is almost the same, right? ”

Situ Yong touched Deng Keng's arm.

"Of course." Deng Keng looked delighted, rubbed his palms, and according to the plan, the Guangdong army formed an armored brigade commander, and the Gui army formed an armored regiment. Since the beginning of the year, the Guangdong Army and the Gui Army under the control of the Zhi Gong Party have been vigorously expanding their armaments and preparing for a big fight.

The two also talked about the war in Yunnan, believing that the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War had broken out and Zhifeng might fight again, and Li Zongren should do his best to end the war in Yunnan. After all, the soldiers who should be trained are almost trained, and it is time to give Tang Jiyao the final blow.

Kunming, Yunnan, this basin on the Yungao Plateau has unique conditions, abundant products, four seasons like spring, flowers are splendid, and there are charming scenery all year round.

But at the moment, its ruler is in a bad mood.

With a snap, Tang Jiyao slammed the teacup on the ground and scolded: "Who does he think Li Zongren is?" Dare me surrender unconditionally? When Lao Tzu beat Yuan Shikai, wasn't he even a fart? ”

At this time, a plane flew by, made a rumbling sound, and flew over Kunming at a low altitude, causing citizens to look up. Over the past few days, they have gradually become familiar with these big birds in the sky are airplanes. Except that after a large number of leaflets are sprinkled from it every day, there is no danger.

Tang Jiyao scoffed at this kind of thought, what do those fart people know. The planes in the sky were terrifying, and the swarms of planes flew by, and the precious artillery of the Yunnan army was blown up at once, and the machine-gun positions also collapsed under the strafing of the planes, and then those Guangxi soldiers rushed up and captured the panicked Yunnan army.

If not, would Tang Jiyao be able to run back to Kunming?

"Great. Do you want to talk to the other party, Li Zongren shouldn't be wiped out, right? A young officer said, but his tone was a little weak, and he was not too sure.

He is Long Yun, Tang Jiyao's confidant, and the head of a major local force in the area. But it's a pity that the historical king of Yunnan is estimated to have no conditions to let him grow up.

"Talk? Those people and wolves have ambitions, and they want to annex Yunnan for a long time. It's hard for them to endure it for four years. Tang Jiyao sneered.

Li Zongren is not too good at talking, and it is the Zhi Gong Dang and the Nanyang rich people behind the Zhi Gong Party who really want to be wiped out, and they want to develop Yunnan's resources. To create a unified market, a warlord like Tang Jiyao will never be allowed to save a market.

If you change to those guys in Beiyang, as long as you admit your mistake, soften your tone, go up and down the field on the surface, and secretly control the army, you can make a comeback if you have a chance, but this practice will not work if it falls in Guangzhou and Nanning, and they will implement a special system to de-warlordize. For Tang Jiyao, who takes the army as his life, he can't give up the army. So after being besieged for a few days, he still didn't give in, although he knew that the enemy army outside was mobilizing troops and surrounding Kunming, and he was a little difficult to fly.

"Alas!" Long Yun sighed, understanding the bitterness in Tang Jiyao's heart. After all, no one can give up the army in their hands.

"Whoa!"

The planes flew by, spilled scraps of paper, and dropped on the streets, and people picked them up one after another, with the words "Defeat the warlords, develop the economy, improve people's livelihood, and no longer expand the army." ”

The content remains the same, but the situation in Guangxi and Guangdong is in the eyes of people, in contrast, Tang Jiyao has always implemented a policy of reckless military force, Yunnan has been involved in the Protectorate War, the Protector War, and the Guangdong-Guizhou War, the finances have long been exhausted, relying on opium trafficking to maintain the army.

It can be said that compared with the rapidly developing Guangxi and Guangdong, many knowledgeable people want the armies of neighboring provinces to fight over.

Now that Kunming City is besieged, people's hearts are surging, and the minds of the officers below the Dian army have also changed, and there are many people who are secretly dissatisfied with Tang Jiyao, but they don't usually come out.

The frequent bombardment of planes in Kunming City made Tang Jiyao feel troubled, but he was also helpless, in addition to secretly guarding, he didn't think of any way, after all, Gui Jun suddenly exerted his strength to eliminate his main force, and this result came too suddenly.

"You go down first. Be vigilant. Tang Jiyao waved his hand and let Long Yun go out.

In the evening, Tang Jiyao waited for the lobbyist to finally come, before, he had contacted Li Zongren, but unfortunately the other party had been ignoring it, and only pushed forward with heavy troops.

"How are you? Less white! Tang Jiyao was a little surprised by Chen Shaobai's arrival. Chen Shaobai is the patriarch of the League, when Sun Wen organized the Protector Government in Guangzhou, Chen Shaobai was an official for a while, and the ambitious Tang Jiyao was also mixed up.

"Why not me? In fact, it is the same for everyone. Chen Shaobai said with a smile, looking at Tang Jiyao, who was haggard, and thought to himself that this king of Yunnan has been so proud these days! It's not at all as high-spirited as it was in Guangzhou.

"Could it be that those people in Guangzhou really want to be wiped out?" Tang Jiyao said calmly, his eyes were firm, and he had the fierce taste of a battlefield veteran.

"You are not young, the year before last you also experienced Gu Pinzhen's rebellion, to be honest, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yunnan has been getting worse, there is no grain in Guangzhou, Yunnan is not the foundation of hegemony after all!"

Chen Shaobai sighed.

Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou since the end of the Qing Dynasty have relied on Guangdong's financial support, the Qing Dynasty was still a little settled, the late Qing Dynasty was gone, all parts of the country, without Guangdong's financial support, Tang Jiyao can only rely on opium to feed the army, but the two Guangxi ban on drugs, all of a sudden cut off Yunnan's financial routes, Tang Jiyao to smuggle opium through Sichuan, along the Yangtze River into Shanghai, as we all know, Sichuan people have no good impression of Tang Jiyao at all.

"That's why I have to keep using foreign troops!" Tang Jiyao said, feeling a little unwilling in his heart.

"But hit Sichuan, the people of Sichuan hated you and drove you out. turned to plan Guangdong and failed, and now retreat to Yunnan and work hard, why not let go? ”

Chen Shaobai said with a smile.

Tang Jiyao's heart is well known to passers-by, but can the "Greater Yunnan" strategy succeed? Since the two are old friends, they can talk openly, and Tang Jiyao, who was exposed to his heart, was not annoyed, looking at Chen Shaobai, who was a little proud, he sighed secretly in his heart and felt deeply powerless.

"Situ Meideng, those people are really amazing, not only tearing the ground overseas, but also driving Sun Wen away at home, now it's my turn, even you have to work for them, are we old people really useless?"

Tang Jiyao laughed at himself, took a sip of wine, and a burst of heat burned the depression in his heart.

"I'm just an old bone, and I'm just doing a little bit for an old friend, but if you have a chance, you have to go to Guangzhou to have a look." Chen Shaobai said with emotion. This old man, who was known as one of the four great Kou in the late Qing Dynasty along with Sun Wen and others, spent his whole life fighting against the Qing Dynasty, and lost a lot of things for this, and some tragedies made him feel guilty and wanted to do something to make up for it. In recent years, he has seen the changes in Guangzhou, and gradually found a centripetal force.

"Perhaps!" Tang Jiyao said noncommittally, Chen Shaobai persuaded him to give up Yunnan cleanly, although he expected it in his heart, he was still unwilling, and asked, "Then, what will be the arrangements for those under my command?" ”

"Break up and reorganize, and assess according to Guangzhou standards." Chen Shaobai said clearly.

"That's not going to work." Tang Jiyao shook his head and thought: This trick is vicious, is he still a little influential by them like this?

Chen Shaobai ignored Tang Jiyao's ugly face, and said to himself: "By the way, you still have to clarify the relevant finances, Guangzhou will clean up Yunnan's finances, and some of them must be done well." ”

"You!" Tang Jiyao was so angry that he glared at Chen Shaobai with a fierce face, there is no such rule in the Republic of China, which general didn't move to the concession with gold and silver after going to the wilderness?

"That's our rule there. I'm just a messenger. However, you have to make a gesture when you go! Chen Shaobai smiled bitterly.

He has already joined the Zhi Gong Party, so he naturally understands how much the Guangzhou government, which is deeply influenced by the Meihua Company, has to calculate every penny, he can lose face, but he must have a lining.

Tang Jiyao wants to quit Kunming peacefully, and it is impossible not to fall into the skin. If you resist to the end and are finally sentenced and your property confiscated, those young people in Guangzhou will definitely do it!

And Tang Jiyao collected so much money in Yunnan, he must have a lot of money in his hands, and it is absolutely impossible for those people not to spit it out.

But Chen Shaobai couldn't say this clearly, seeing Tang Jiyao frowning, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but say sternly: "Just when I entered Kunming City, the cannons were already lined up. In fact, those people have been training you all the time, and now that war has broken out in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they want to deal with the war in Yunnan as much as possible. ”

"Training?" Tang Jiyao suddenly realized, his face was white for a while, it turned out that Biren had been playing with himself as a monkey, and he couldn't help but sneer, "Chen Jiongming, they are so angry!" Ambition is not small! ”

"Yes. They had a plan for the Northern Expedition, and they endured it for four years, devoting their energy to building a military industry, and now the number of troops has reached this number. ”

Chen Shaobai stretched out two fingers, feeling that Tang Jiyao's mentality had softened, and he didn't mind revealing more news to Tang Jiyao.

"After the reorganization of the Dian army, there is no need to worry about not being settled. The government has already drawn up a railway plan to build the Southwest Railway, and workers can be used even if they are not soldiers. Now that our army has gone to Lijiang and other places, they have lost their sincerity...... All right! Tang Jiyao sighed deeply, sad in his heart. RQ
