The journey starts from the Titanic

Well, if his A-level assistance is converted into cash, the amount is at least one million US dollars.It's just that he doesn't know yet, he's still excited about getting the mere 20,000 yuan and a batch of materials funded by Lin Yimin.

As Situ Nan's assistant, Lin Yimin knew that Li Zongren was the general that Situ Nan personally "pointed".He came to Xinhui from Nanyang this time, it was for Li Zongren.

Judging from the information collected, this Li Zongren is not bad.It’s just that those soldiers are really...

Thinking of this, Lin Yimin shook his head slightly. He has visited He Wenxiu's special training base in Medan. The soldiers who can train there are extraordinary, and they can fight wherever they are, like the so-called big figures in mainland China who like to show their faces. , A lot is not enough to kill those snipers in Nanyang.

Well, even the Nanyang militia is much better than the smokers on the street, at least in a much better mental outlook.

It seems that we have to find some helpers to help Li Zongren.

Several names flashed in Lin Yimin's mind.

"Who, Manager Pang, immediately apply for the loan to Captain Li." Lin Yimin told a fat middle-aged man next to him.

"Yes. I'll find someone to send the money there immediately." Manager Pang replied quickly.Turn around and go out to go through the loan procedures.

Usually Manager Pang can be a very proud person, but his attitude towards Lin Yimin's young man is so respectful. Well, Lin Yimin should be much more senior than Manager Pang in the bank.

Li Zongren has a way of looking at people, he faintly felt that Lin Yimin's immature face had the aura of a superior.

There is no love for no reason.Why are you so good to yourself?This American China Bank is a bank opened by the Americans. It is rich and powerful, so there is no need to be afraid of being a small battalion leader.

Li Zongren was thinking in his heart, what point did the other party like about him.

After Manager Pang went out, the room fell into a short silence, and both of them were silently thinking about their concerns.

After a while, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. The two raised their heads and their eyes met in the air. They couldn't help but laugh.

"Commander Li, do you have a correct judgment on the situation in front of you?" Lin Yimin asked.

"Internal and external troubles, poverty and weakness, Yuan Shikai uprooted this big tree. Although the tree still has some roots, most of its trunk is rotten. It is difficult to rebirth from the ashes!"

Li Zongren sighed quietly, his delicate face was full of worries about the country and the people.The sentence "difficult" expresses the melancholy that has accumulated in my heart for a long time.

This is also the voice of many people.The depressed Chinese cannot find a way out, and there is no way to save the country.As a result, there was a man named Li Huang in the north who kept yelling, "In the future, it will be the sea of ​​red flag." After the May Fourth Movement, this voice was infinitely amplified and spread to many young people's minds.

But for Li Zongren’s traditional soldiers, they are eager to make contributions and unify the country, but in reality they are often troubled by certain difficulties.

Lin Yimin felt the other party's melancholy from Li Zongren and said in his heart, fortunately, I met the young master.Otherwise, at best, he is a comprador who is profit-only, right?

"Haha. Captain Li doesn't need to be discouraged. Look forward. There are always more solutions than problems. As long as you follow your heart, everything will be fine." Lin Yimin comforted.

"That's right." Li Zongren was amused at his hero's shortness of breath, and said that he is only an officer who encourages the maintenance of the army, and the country's major affairs are not his turn to take care of.However, this Lin Yimin is bold and generous, and his character is also good. It is worth paying for him.

"Does Mr. Lin have a word? Just call me Deren. Don't call Captain Li Ying like that. It's unfamiliar." Li Zongren said.

"This is not commonly used. I am abroad all year round and I am more accustomed to calling my name directly. Just call me Yimin by Brother De Lin." Lin Yimin said.

"Oh. Okay then. I'll call you a people." Li Zongren thought that he was older, so he was a little bit more arrogant.

In the following days, Lin Yimin came to Li Zongren for a long time, chatting with each other and having a very happy conversation.Li Zongren told Lin Yimin how he joined Mr. Cai E's Northern Expedition student team, and then stepped into the army. He also told Lin Yimin that there were many military affairs.

In return, Lin Yimin also introduced his experience in the United States. When talking about Nanyang, he also specifically introduced the living conditions of the Nanyang Chinese in detail. Of course, the secrets about Zhi Gong Dang and Meihua Company cannot be revealed.

With Lin Yimin's funding, Li Zongren made up for the vacancies in the troops and slightly expanded them.Under Lin Yimin's arrangement, some Guangxi security guards from Meihua Company were placed in Li Zongren's team.With excellent performance, those players quickly became Li Zongren's right-hand man.

This is a story between Xinhui, Lin Yimin and Li Zongren.In addition to Li Zongren, two young officers named Huang Shaohong and Bai Chongxi also encountered similar situations with Li Zongren.They all received some funding from Meihua, and some of them established friendships.

One day, when Li Zongren was training the troops, Lin Yimin found him.

"Brother De Lin, I'm here to say goodbye today. Although you and I have not met for a long time, but we also fell in love with each other. I hope to see you again in the future." Lin Yimin said.

"Yimin, didn't you just transfer to the new club, but you are going to transfer again?" Li Zongren said in surprise, a little bit unwilling.After all, he still owes a lot of money to American China Bank.

"I still have another position in the company. I am here on a temporary basis. Now that I'm done, I should leave. Don't worry, I have already ordered Manager Pang. If I have something to do, I can find him and he will help you." Lin Yimin smiled. Laughing, waved to Li Zongren, turned and got into the car.

Seeing the car disappear on the street, Li Zongren was at a loss.From Lin Yimin's words, he was sensitively aware that Lin Yimin's identity was much more important than the bank manager here, and Meihua Company seemed to be much bigger than the words he had received from Lin Yimin.

What kind of person is he?

Li Zongren stood for a long time and couldn't think of an answer. He just felt that Xinhui was too small, and he had to climb to a higher position to see a broader world.

Chapter 66 First stop: Guangzhou Bay

When Li Zongren took over the army, there was a shortage of food and the army was unstable.The timely appearance of Lin Yimin helped Li Zongren stabilize the military spirit and establish authority in the military, which made Li Zongren grateful.

With his painstaking efforts, Li Zongren has firmly grasped the strength of a battalion of the Gui army stationed in Xinhui, and the following company commanders and platoon leaders have begun to revolve around Li Zongren.

Among them, there are also personnel sent by the Zhi Gong party who can instigate related matters.Li Zongren took the opportunity to clear out the diehards in the army, promoted some outstanding non-commissioned officers, and the atmosphere of the barracks also changed.

What's interesting is that Li Zongren has just finished your months of hard work, but he actually paid off all the money he owed.There is a reason for the refreshment above, Li Zongren instinctively felt that he was going to fight again, otherwise it would not be so generous.

Li Zongren was right. In order to fight for control of the wealthy Guangdong Province, the first Guangdong-Guangxi War in history is about to begin.

This is not something that Li Zongren, a small battalion leader, can decide. After he got the money, he immediately fulfilled his promise and returned the money to the American China Bank.

It was the fat manager Pang who received Li Zongren. After receiving Li Zongren's money, he smiled and handed Li Zongren a list.

Li Zongren was immediately surprised when he saw it-it said 10 Maxine machine guns, 500 M1903 Springfield rifles, 100,000 rounds, and 10 boxes of grenades.

"This is-arms?! For me!?"

Li Zongren looked at Manager Pang's white and fat face in surprise, he took a deep breath and held his breath.

"Well. This is from Mr. Lin. He just said that he will give these things to General Li when he pays back the money."

Manager Pang said.There are also some doubts in my heart: the value of this arms is far more than 20,000 yuan, I don't know why this Li Zongren is so lucky, but Lin Yimin's attention?Don’t they have a passion?

Manager Pang thought gossiping.However, looking at Li Zongren's surprised expression, he probably didn't know that this happened.I really don't understand the thoughts of those big people.

From beginning to end, Manager Pang didn't know Lin Yimin's identity, but he had to fully cooperate with Lin Yimin after receiving the rule from above.Therefore, he did not dare to neglect Lin Yimin's instructions.

"This..." Li Zongren's dark face was flushed, and he was very surprised.With this arms, his troops can be expanded into a regiment.Especially those 10 machine guns are even more remarkable. You have to know that one regiment of their Gui army only has 2 machine guns, and now I have 10 machine guns all at once. It's really...

After Li Zongren was overjoyed, he began to think about how to place these machine guns.

"Did he leave any words?" Li Zongren asked, staring at Manager Pang seriously.

"No." Manager Pang shook his head.

"America China Bank operates an arms business? Can arms be imported from foreign countries?" Li Zongren asked again, looking at Manager Pang with more eager eyes.If he can catch up with an arms channel, it will certainly be of great benefit to his future development.

"This is the first time in our Xinhui branch, and it's the first time I have handled this matter." Manager Pang frowned and said, American China Bank has always been involved in arms sales.This time, he suddenly traded a large amount of arms, which made Manager Pang puzzled.

Maybe your level is too low, right?

When Pang Jing ideally went to a meeting in Guangzhou last time, the manager of the Guangzhou branch once said after being drunk, "Guangzhou branch is nothing in the entire American Chinese Bank, and the American Chinese Bank is only a part of the American Chinese company. Therefore, Xiao Pang, do it hard, if one day you are caught up in your eyes, you will reach an unimaginable height."
