Chapter 87: The Four Domains (I)
Jiang Nan has traveled to so many planes, and his vision is naturally much wider than that of the fledgling college student, and when he heard that the Beiyang government was actually interested in his Red Star Gang, his heart moved slightly, and he almost understood the beginning and end of this matter, but Jiang Nan himself could not stay in this plane forever, and the future of the Chinese people always depended on the Chinese people in this plane, Jiang Nan looked at Chen Zhen and asked: "What do you think about the Beiyang government contacting us?" Let's talk about it first. ”
Regarding Jiang Nan's question, Chen Zhen thought about it for a while, and then made his position and thoughts clear. "Big brother, as the ancients said, the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, we have developed the Red Star Gang on the basis of Jingwumen, with the advanced concept of the eldest brother, and now it has broken away from the traditional concept of the sect or gang, just like the big brother asked me to learn before, now the structure of our Red Star Gang is more like a company, big brother, you are the chairman of the company, I am the CEO of the company, and I am in charge of all affairs.
I knew that the purpose of the eldest brother was to make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and even to make our country richer and stronger, so I gathered the strength of the martial arts world that day and unified the underground forces of the entire Shanghai Tang. Thanks to our efforts, the ordinary people of Shanghai have rarely been bullied by these forces, and Shanghai's enterprises and small capitalists have also been able to develop rapidly. Only by continuing to expand can we make the common people of the whole country less oppressed by various gang forces. ”
"Well, that's a good point", Chen Zhen's words made Jiang Nan nod secretly, and then said: "Ah Zhen, you see it very clearly, and I also said before that you can make your own ideas on some issues of direction selection, why do you want to consult me this time?" Is it because you are not sure what problems you have in contact with the Beiyang government this time, or you don't understand the prospects, so you want to listen to my opinions and discuss with me before making a decision? ”
Chen Zhen was said to be thoughtful, nodded emphatically, and said: "Yes, big brother, the officer sent by the warlord leader means that the Beiyang Army can provide our Red Star Gang with all aspects of convenience, so that the Red Star Gang can develop and grow, but the Red Star Gang needs to agree to two conditions, one is that when needed, the Red Star Gang must unconditionally support their Beiyang Army, such as dealing with the invasion of foreign enemies such as Dongying, and the Red Star Gang must be used as a reserve armed force. Second, within the territory of the Red Star Gang, it must be like Shanghai, to the point of not disturbing the people. Third, the income of the Red Star Gang in Shanghai does not need to be handed over, and 10% of the income of the merchants in Suzhou, Minzhou, Zhejiang, and Guangdong provinces must be handed over to the Beiyang government. ”
"Well, these three conditions shouldn't be a problem, right? I think you can say yes. Jiang Nan nodded, and said to Chen Zhen, for the country and the people, it was originally the gang purpose of the Red Star Gang today, and it is not a problem to hand over part of the proceeds to the Beiyang government, maybe with more funds, it can also help them better resist the Dongying people, the Dongying people have been gaining momentum in China recently, and Zhang Dashuai in the Northeast has been with the Dongying people all the time, but Jiangnan knows that he still has no good end in the end.
Jiang Nan paused, and then said: "However, as far as I know, the current leader of the Beiyang government is Duan Qirui, the Anhui warlord, Shanghai, Zhezhou and Minzhou are their Anhui territory, but the other two coastal provinces, Suzhou is the territory of the direct warlord, and Yuezhou is the territory of the Gui warlord, is his Duan Qirui's promise useful?" ”
"Yes, these three conditions are indeed not a problem, although the warlords in various places are divided, but the common people and underground forces can be circulated, and now among the warlords of all walks of life, the Anhui warlords are big, so they also want to use us to infiltrate Suzhou and Yuezhou, the two important Kaipu provinces, to lay the foundation for the unification of the whole country." Chen Zhen said seriously.
"And with the support of the Beiyang government, our Red Star Gang will definitely be able to develop rapidly, the scale is absolutely incomparable, and our infiltration of the four coastal provinces, although it may also help Duan Qirui's Beiyang government to extend its power to southern China, but it must be a win-win cooperation, as long as the direct and Gui warlords do not want to carry out with the Anhui family, they will not blatantly deal with us."
Chen Zhen finished talking about the benefits," Chen Zhen frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "But, after all, no matter how you say it, our Red Star Gang is also a gang, and I am afraid that it will be like a night pot in front of the Beiyang government. I am worried that once we cooperate, when there is no external trouble of the Dongying people, or the situation of warlord separatism is ended, and the whole country is reunified, the position of our Red Star Gang will be very embarrassing, and we may even be able to take action against our Red Star Gang.
"Oh? Reasonable", hearing Chen Zhen's words, Jiang Nan nodded, feeling that Chen Zhen was worried, it was not unreasonable, now I need you, of course, I can provide you with convenience and mutual benefit, but once the Dongying people are driven away and the national unification is realized, when the time comes, the Red Star Gang, which dominates the entire coastal provinces, will inevitably become a thorn in Duan Qirui's side, a thorn in the flesh, this has nothing to do with the despicability of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but needs, the country only needs one voice.
The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, there are so many examples throughout the ages, such worries are naturally completely necessary, very simple truth.
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, just like the Red Star Gang is now realizing the unification of Shanghai's underground forces, but if there are other gang forces in Shanghai at this time, can Jiangnan and the Red Star Gang endure it?
"So that's your concern? Afraid that after cooperation, it will be targeted and suppressed? Jiang Nan thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, big brother, with the help of Duan Qirui's Beiyang government, our Red Star Gang can naturally get a rapid development, but, by the same token, the stronger we develop in the future, the more we will be feared, so I don't know how to choose, and I only replied to the commissioner's officer, I need to think about it for a few days before I can give him an answer." , Chen Zhen nodded and said.
"Your considerations are not unreasonable, but let me ask you, what do you say was the purpose of my establishment of the Red Star Gang in the first place? What is the purpose of our gang? Jiang Nan looked at Chen Zhen and asked.
"We are for the Chinese people and for the prosperity and strength of the country." , Chen Zhen was slightly stunned, and replied, not understanding why Jiang Nan suddenly asked himself about this.
"Yes, it's for the people, not for ourselves, so when we drove out all the foreigners who invaded China from the Dongying people, and the Huaxia Kingdom was unified, do you think the country will still be as turbulent as it is today?" , Jiang Nan nodded and asked.
Chen Zhen thought about it carefully, if he really drove out all the invading Dongying people, the country would naturally become stronger and the whole country would be unified? Naturally, it was impossible to have such turmoil as now, so Chen Zhen shook his head.
"Then besides, if the melee of the warlords is over, the whole country is unified, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, then is there still a need for our current Red Star Gang to exist?" , Jiang Nan, then threw out his third question, this question, which shocked Chen Zhen's body.
Jiang Nan's words really touched Chen Zhen a lot, and he suddenly realized that at that time, would there be no need for the Red Star Gang to exist? So have you completed your historical mission and withdrawn from the stage of history?
