The journey starts from the Titanic

"Another point is that foreign companies generally do arms business in mainland China, I don't know if we can..." Zeng Liming said tentatively, paying attention to Situ Nan's wink.

Regarding weapon smuggling, Zeng Liming thought about it for a long time. From the emotional point of view, he did not want Meihua Trading Company to sell American guns to China, but in reality, this is a very profitable business. Meihua is good, and others will do it.

If Meihua did it, Zeng Liming planned to leave some of the money he made to build a school in the local area. This was just his idea, but he didn't know what Situ Nan thought.

"Selling weapons to the enemy to fight against one's own country is the real arms dealer." Situ Nan thought for a while and sighed. Although he hadn't reached that height, he was a little embarrassed.

He is not embarrassed by the question of whether or not to do these businesses. In this era when opium can be rampant everywhere, many things are beyond his control.

Situ Nan shook his head and said blankly: "I will consider this matter carefully, but no matter what, it must not fall into the hands of those notorious warlords."

Maybe it would be better to find a warlord with a sense of justice to do this kind of business?Situ Nan thought, but always felt a little bit self-deceiving.

"Stop talking about this, let's talk about Nanyang! What happened to what I asked to prepare?" He changed the subject.

"Hongmin is responsible for this matter. Last time he reported that he has completed the arrangement in the Philippines. The workers recruited from the mainland have been arranged on the company's farm. The number has exceeded 5,000. It is estimated that thousands of people can be selected. Young people enlisted in the army.

The equipment of the steel plant we plan to put into operation in the Philippines has already been shipped and is expected to be put into operation by the end of the month.In addition to the steel plant, we also plan to secretly build a small arsenal in Manila.The barrels and other main components are produced in the United States and then shipped to the local area for assembly. At the same time, a local bullet reloading factory will be built."

Speaking of this, Zeng Liming was a little excited, and at the same time he was a little disapproving of Situ Nan's pretense in his heart.Obviously this guy instructed Meihua Trading Company to secretly establish an arms production base in the Philippines, and then expand to other places in Southeast Asia.

"Yeah. Very good. However, remember that the Philippines is just a transit point. It doesn't need to be too big, as long as it can meet the training of the previous army. In two years, after the war in Europe, we will have countless cheap arms. So there is no need to worry about armaments, nor to invest too much in the Philippines.

Our goal is still elsewhere, so unless we can be self-reliant, then is the time when we invest a lot of money and technology in the United States.Prior to this, we still controlled as much land as possible, opened a large number of reclamation companies, and then immigrated from the mainland in large numbers to train young and strong Chinese.Once the incident occurs, these trained migrant workers will be our main force.But our power is still weak. The factories in the Philippines had better keep a low profile, and the farming companies in the Anglo-Dutch colonies had better not provoke the British."

Situ Nan warned that it was not the first time he had told Zeng Liming, but he just wanted to remind Yao Hongmin in Nanyang to pay attention through Zeng Liming.

In fact, he has filtered a little. Now the British people’s attention is all in Europe, and the Dutch are the same. So recently, the US-China Trading Company used various leather bag companies to open up large numbers of farms in the British-Indian and Dutch-Indian colonies. Note that the colonial government's energy is limited, and it is impossible to estimate matters in remote areas. They are either entrusted to the Chinese to handle it, or they are handed over to the local indigenous people.

Therefore, after completing his affairs in the Philippines, Yao Hongmin's progress in Southeast Asia is very smooth, especially in Sumatra, where the Dutch are beyond reach, and the ships of the US-China Trading Company are increasingly traveling between South China and Medan. Airline, more and more bankrupt Chinese farmers have entered the farms of Meihua Trading Company. They want to use their sweat to open up a new world in an unfamiliar environment.

Occasionally, a ship from the United States will come quietly, and a pair of cold-faced soldiers walked on it, and then commanded the workers to transport the wooden boxes loaded on the ship into the forest and hide it.

"By the way, what are you going to do with Anliangtang?" Zeng Liming suddenly asked a question that made Situ Nan puzzled.

"What should I do?" Situ Nan glanced at Zeng Liming.

"Don't you think that the differences between us and them are getting bigger and bigger? What I didn't want to talk about, let's take the arms business that I just mentioned!

Although our Meihua Trading Company does not do arms business in the mainland, Anliangtang has smuggled a large number of guns through our ships several times. Maybe you don't know it?Now the Revolutionary Party is paying more and more attention to us. Some people have begun to sneak into Meihua Company, and some people in the company have been shaken by what they said.

In addition to arms, there are opium!If I hadn't kept a close eye on it, all the Chinese workers who entered the United States through our Meihua Trading Company would not let the other side interfere. It is estimated that there are more and more smokers in Chinatown."

Zeng Liming all shook out like pouring beans. Recently, he has become increasingly dissatisfied with some of An Liangtang's actions. He absolutely cannot bear the other party's attempt to control the Chinese workers of Meihua Company.At the same time, it also harmed the interests of the Meihua Trading Company. Zeng Liming is not like the Meihua Trading Company he founded by others, trying to make wedding dresses.

Think about how he was exploited by Chinese gangs when he came to the United States alone.To some extent, gangs like An Liangtang also play a role in facilitating abuse, and he has no good feelings for gangs.

Now that Meihua can stand on its own feet, and its own strength far surpasses An Liangtang, it is time to make a break.What Zeng Liming meant was not annihilation, but a concentration of all forces to carry out the Nanyang Project. Therefore, the leadership of overseas Chinese must be in the hands of Meihua. This matter must not be interfered by Anliangtang, let alone compromise.

"Then what do you want to do?" Situ Nan's face was as deep as water. He didn't know these things in his heart, but it was very uncomfortable to be told.

"Differentiation, absorption, transformation, everything is for my use!" Zeng Liming said.

Why is this tone so similar to certain organizations, Situ Nan thought about it, and probably understood what the other party meant.

"You go back and make a detailed plan for this matter and then give it to me. Time is not enough today. Recently, I have had a lot of things. I can tell you a good news. He Wenxiu will lead the inner defender to Nanyang soon, and our plan will enter The actual stage." Situ Nan said.

"Why are you leaving now? That's great." Zeng Liming said in surprise.

"Yeah. Before that, we must have a meeting to have a unified understanding." Situ Nanman said casually, thinking about Anliangtang in his heart.

Chapter 181 Bloodthirsty Fangs-Nanyang Project!

Before He Wenxiu left the United States, Situ Nan had to explain some things and establish some principles in order to avoid any mistakes midway. It was also a small mobilization meeting before departure.

Only a few people attended the meeting, mainly from the two major factions under Situ Nan. One is the security faction headed by He Wenxiu. He Wenxiu, Chu Fu, and Zhang Chengdong are the representatives. They all came from a security consulting company and are in charge of tens of thousands. Human security and a thousand trained mercenaries-internal guards.

The inner guard is Situ Nan's gun and the main force of the Nanyang Project.After several years of tempering, this gun has been sharpened and is about to start drinking blood.Especially the inner guards who have been trained in the jungle, Situ Nan believes that these bloodthirsty wolves who grew up on the US-Mexico border will soon show their fierce fangs in Nanyang.

On the other side is the Meihua faction who had been named the leader.Their representatives are Zeng Liming, the president of Meihua Trading Company, and Yao Hongmin, who went to Nanyang.

U.S.-China Trading Co., Ltd. uses the background of American-funded enterprises to expand Sino-U.S. trade, from hiring a large number of young people in mainland China to farming under various names, producing and training at the same time, and plans to systematically expand the island of Sumatra within a few years. Wait until the Dutch colonies are brought under their own substantive control.These places are remote, the colonial government is beyond reach, and the war in Europe has attracted their attention, which gives the US-China Trading Company an opportunity.

"I am here today, although the number of participants is only ten, I believe that the future history will be changed by us. We have done a lot of things all the time, we have been preparing silently, but we never said it, and In the next few years, we will not be able to stand up openly and announce loudly that we have a dream, that all Han people living outside have a foothold that can shelter us from wind and rain. We have a dream, in Nanyang, That place where our ancestors reclaimed, where we built a self-reliant Chinese nation.

Not saying it doesn't mean not doing it, not saying it doesn't mean being indifferent, not saying it doesn't mean that we don't have humiliating anger in our hearts. All the unequal treatment we suffer spurs us to struggle and reserve a piece of land for this low ebb.We desire protection, we desire self-reliance, we desire strength, and everything will depend on our own creation.

To this end, we have prepared a brave spirit, a sense of sacrifice, and sufficient wisdom.We will have a full understanding of reality.

The reality is that the situation in our motherland is very complicated. Our enemies are not only domestic but also foreign. Our limited strength is not enough to change the destiny of this country, so we can only find another shortcut in the Southeast Asia, especially the declining sea. Coachman-the Dutch colony of Holland seeks a piece of land of our own, to realize our dream of self-reliance.

Since Zheng He went to Nanyang, we Han people have operated in Nanyang for hundreds of years. We have a solid foundation. There are thousands of Han people scattered on the islands in the South China Sea. They are all forces we can use and rely on.This has been reflected in the success of Meihua Trading Company. Now our farms, our factories in Nanyang, and mines are active in the Chinese and Han people. What we have to do now is to prepare and train them. Prepare to give them our ideals, prepare to give them courage and strength, and bind their interests and destiny to us.

I believe that our efforts will not be in vain, our goals can be achieved, and we will change ourselves and the destiny of many others.At the same time, an independent Chinese nation in Southeast Asia will not only guard the land of our ancestors in the future, but also a force to feed back our motherland."

After Situ Nan finished speaking, he looked at everyone present with confidence.His chest was ups and downs sharply, and there was a kind of excitement that could not be suppressed. The words just now had been in his heart for many years, and now he can finally say it out loud.Although it is impossible for him to bleed, it does not prevent him from having such determination.

Rebellion and breaking the ground are not what Situ Nan is good at, let alone his innate ideas, but the increasing wealth and increasing power make him have a kind of urge to vent the reality of dissatisfaction .It's like a moth stimulated by a light, and it's about to fly at any time.

This is a secret meeting held in the secret meeting room of a security consulting company. All of you present here are Stuart’s cronies. Except for the absence of Meihua’s Nanyang director Yao Hongmin and BP Fruit’s Chu Fu for some reason, the security faction He Wenxiu, Zhang Chengdong and Zeng Liming from the Meihua School, Lin Yimin, Situ Nan’s secretary, and Han Gang, the captain of the guard, all listened to Situ Nan’s speech with excitement.

In addition, there is a very special person, he is Situ Nan's intelligence chief Thomas. He just came back to participate in this meeting after completing the negotiation with the Gomez father and son from Lake Maracaibo.

Hearing Situ Nan's words like this, Thomas' eyes were clearly intrigued, and he thought, it seems that it would be good to play national strategy games with this boss?Well, he is a very special member of Situ Nan's system, in charge of the intelligence of the William Consortium and some hidden powers.It is the third independent faction besides the security faction and the US-China faction, the intelligence faction.His importance is self-evident.

"Master, it should be like this long ago. Let Lao Tzu take the inner guard to make sure to let the natives of Nanyang get out." Zhang Chengdong said anxiously, and he licked his lips, looking like a wolf in his eyes, looking greedy and aggressive.This kid hasn't fought with Mexicans for a long time since Situ Nan was preparing to transfer the elite of the security consulting company to Nanyang and Latin America. After hearing Situ Nan said that he was going to make a big move in Nanyang, he couldn't help but move around.

"Shut up! Things in Nanyang are very complicated. In addition to the indigenous people, there are cunning foreign devils. It is not as easy as you said. You can sit obediently for me! Listen to what Situ Nan said?" He Wenxiu scolded Zhang Chengdong. Zhang Chengdong's training is persuasive.

Among the people, He Wenxiu has a special status. Only he has never called Situ Nan the young master, and he has always called Situ Nan by his name. Other security guards usually call Situ Nan the young master.People of the American Chinese School generally call Situ Nan as the young master, or Mr. Situ, and the senior officials of the William consortium are usually called Mr. Situ Nan, or Mr. Stuart, who are familiar with him.

Seeing Zhang Chengdong being trained, Han Gang, who was standing behind Situ Nan, was a little proud. After Situ Nan looked back, he quickly became serious.

It was Situ Nan's secretary, Lin Yimin, who was sitting in the last seat, blushing, and firmly holding the pen in his hand. It was a great honor for him to participate in such a major meeting.At the same time, this huge surprised young man who had just worked for the William Consortium was now very excited after hearing about the Nanyang Project arranged by Situ Nan.In their twenties, a group of energetic, energetic and dreamy young people will emit tremendous energy once they are inspired.

"Yes. He is right. The situation in Nanyang is very complicated. The British, Dutch, Americans, and French in Indochina are entangled together. They are wary of each other, intrigue, and at the same time remain vigilant against Chinese forces. Whenever the economy is in recession or when social conflicts are acute, conflicts between the Chinese and the local indigenous people will be provoked, allowing the two to kill each other so that they can reap the benefits of the fishermen.

Therefore, we have to take advantage of the messy waters between them and keep a high level of vigilance at the same time. Therefore, today's meeting will be listed as the top secret, and everyone must not leak it, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk.In the future, all our actions must remain mysterious and not expose the plan, especially before we have enough self-defense strength. Once the wind leaks, it will bring endless difficulties to our plan.This is why, I only ask you to discuss it."

Situ Nan warned that he looked at the people present with serious faces, knowing they remembered them, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "In view of the complicated situation in Nanyang, we have to take different measures for different enemies. Ying, Among the three countries of the Netherlands and the United States, the Netherlands is the weakest, the United Kingdom is the strongest, and the United States is the second. If we want to break the ground in the South Seas, we can only choose the dilapidated carriage driver of the Netherlands. Therefore, our future force will be against the big Part of it is placed in the Dutch colony.

There is a conflict between the Americans and the British and Dutch. The American oil company and the British-Dutch Shell Oil Company have been competing fiercely, especially the British. They have been adopting a policy of exclusion against Americans in Southeast Asia, and the Americans have always wanted to squeeze into these two. It is a colony of a country, so once the US-China company conflicts with the Dutch and Indian colonial government, I have a way to get the US government on our side, at least neutral.

As for the British, it is estimated that they will be biased towards the Dutch, but they will never interfere excessively until the situation has not deteriorated. As long as we do not touch the interests of the British, it is estimated that the British will not take substantial measures.

In other words, we are not completely powerless against the Dutch and Indian family, as long as we make good use of the external situation.Therefore, in the future, the Philippines, a colony of the United States, will become the transit point of our Nanyang Project, and most of the materials from the United States will be transferred to the Dutch territory through the Philippines.

Regarding the British colony of Malay, the measures we have taken are to invest heavily in local industries, support local Chinese capital, attract foreign aid, and regard the Malay region as another important source of funds, materials, and talents for our Nanyang Project. Library.
