The journey starts from the Titanic

Little Kadoorie is good at inducing Tao.

"Why?" Wu Peifu took a cold look at Xiao Ka Daoli, and let him say that it was too much. Who can guarantee that Meihua will not be like a Japanese and only plunder China's mineral resources?

However, the U.S. steel industry is developed and far away, so it is impossible to be interested in Chinese iron ore.If you invest in Han Yeping, maybe an advanced and huge Hanyang arsenal will be built?If you can use it for yourself...

Thinking of this, Wu Peifu's expression eased again.

This is a far-reaching idea. Now the Beiyang 3rd Division can only stay in Hengyang, and cannot return to Zhili. It is also about whether it can defeat the Anhui system, so Wu Peifu can only bury his thoughts in his heart.

"Okay! If we are in power, I believe that for friendly friends, I think there will be many opportunities for cooperation." Wu Peifu made a somewhat empty promise.

Little Kadoori naturally looked at the trap in Wu Peifu's words, but he didn't mind. Even without Wu Peifu, Meihua could get a more specific promise from the Hubei Supervisor.

Fortunately, Little Kadoorie doesn't have to bargain with Wu Peifu, because Cao Kun in Beijing will already pay, and that guy has money!

As the boss of the new direct line, Wu Peifu and Beiyang 3rd Division will be the capital of Cao Kun's future dominance, and he cannot help but be reluctant to spend money.

A few years later, Cao Kun can spend tens of millions of dollars on votes to become president, and he is naturally a rich man.In order to win the war and the power of the central government, Cao Kun happily paid 10 million yuan. In addition to equipping most of the Beiyang Third Division, he also formed other troops.

Wu Peifu is undoubtedly a far-sighted warlord. He saw the importance of aircraft, and bought the Cummins-Lincoln aircraft from the U.S. Army Air Force that made the limelight in World War I.

Five fighters, five bombers, and two additional sets of accessories cost a total of 1.5 million.

Meihua is very positive about this, not only sending mechanics, but also expressing that it can send pilots, provided that Wu Peifu pays them.

Well, these are all pilots trained by Meihua in the United States, and it is best to send them to the Chinese battlefield to accumulate experience.

In this way, Wu Peifu secretly formed an aviation force with the help of Meihua Company, which greatly improved the combat capability.When he appeared on the northern battlefield a few months later, he alarmed all warlords in one fell swoop.

After seeing the plane show their talents, they also formed their own flying teams.However, there is no systematic flight system training, so you can only buy the plane and go back to fill the storefront.However, it also made Meihua a lot, and brought a bit of life to the troubled Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company.

The successful transaction between Kadoorie and Wu Peifu soon reached Situ Nan's ears.

No concubine, no money, no stay abroad, no lease.It sounds good, and Wu Peifu did it in history.Regarding this very ambitious warlord with a good look, Situ Nan thought that regardless of Wu Peifu's personality, but with Wu Peifu building an arsenal in Luoyang in the future, and objectively building China's military industry, he should support Wu Peifu more.

At least from the perspective of economic interests, we should also maintain a good relationship with Wu.After thinking about it, Situ Nan filled in the three characters Wu Peifu in the US-China aid list, and his grade was A.…

Little Kadoorie went back to the poster again, and Wu Peifu stood by the Xiangjiang River for a long time.

"According to legend, the wild geese in the north migrated south in groups for fear of the cold wind outside the Great Wall, flying over thousands of mountains and rivers. They came to this place with mild climate and beautiful scenery, camping and resting for habitation. This is the city of Hengyang."

Now that the wind is beautiful and the weather is getting warmer, it's time for me, the northern goose who has been in the south for several years, to return home!Xiao Xuzi, you are going to be unlucky this time!

Chapter 120

Wu Peifu is a potential stock, so why not Zhang from the Northeast?

Bandit Zhang is also another important player in this Zhi Anhui battle. Cunningly, he has already discussed with the direct team to deal with the Anhui team together in an attempt to expand the territory to the pass.

Thinking of the flowers and mountains in the Guan, the bandit Zhang Yi sent his thighs, cursed mlgb, and decided to enter the pass.

In addition to the large-scale purchase of arms from Japan, the idea was also hit on Meihua Company.He even sent his confidant Yuan Jinkai to Shanghai to negotiate an arms contract with Meihua Company, along with Zhang Xueliang, the young master of the Zhang family.

Zhang Xueliang had just finished gilding from the military academy. He heard that the Feng Department was going to Shanghai to negotiate arms contracts with Meihua Company, so he volunteered to follow him to Shanghai to gain insights.

The person who was specifically responsible for the arms procurement was Yuan Jinkai, an old man from the Feng department. Zhang Xueliang only gained knowledge and connections with Yuan Jinkai, so he spent more time on establishing a good relationship with the Song family.

The arms purchase went smoothly, the quantity was not too much, only a mere 2 million, and Meihua Company could transport the goods to Qinhuangdao Port in the north.

The colorful world of Shanghai opened up Zhang Xueliang's horizons. After he was lost, he was a little bit reluctant to think about it.Compared with the bitter Northeast, Shanghai is simply paradise. Only then can I understand why the old man and a group of brothers want to get into the barrier.

The women on the beach are also very open-minded, more pleasing to the eye than the well-behaved wife at home.

The Zhang family bought a lot of machinery and equipment from the Shanghai Commercial Machinery Company. Zhang Xueliang and the Song family got in touch, so they also knew Song Meiling. They were attracted by Song Meiling's decentness, noble grace, and extraordinary knowledge.

Although Song Meiling is also very heroic, Zhang Shaoshuai has a good impression.Only after entering this magnificent William Garden, Song Meiling was a little cautious, keeping a certain distance from Zhang Shaoshuai.

Zhang Xueliang felt this subtle change, and he was a little strange.Before coming, he heard Song Meiling talk about the owner of this William Garden, only knowing that the other party is very powerful.

When Situ Nan learned that Zhang Xueliang had come to Shanghai, he was a little surprised and invited Zhang Xueliang to be a guest at home through Song Meiling.Situ Nan smiled when he looked at the mixed reputation of Young Master Zhang.

"Dashuai Zhang is a powerful man in the north, and Shaoshuai Zhang is so arrogant and talented. He can be described as the dragon among the people. The tiger father has no dogs, and he is right."

Situ Nan enthusiastically praised, and quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Zhang Xueliang.

"Mr. Situ passed the award. He is very talented and sparsely learned. He is inferior to his father. He just wants to work hard and not to lose his prestige."

Zhang Xueliang said modestly.

He has just graduated from the military academy, and he has not done anything and has no proud capital.

However, he is not a idiot. He has been a tall figure through his years of military career, and he is much better than the average Young Master Yan from the appearance.

With Zhang Zuolin, a cunning and fierce old bandit urging him behind his back, Xiao Zhang naturally has some abilities with his words and deeds.

Zhang Xueliang looked back at Soong Meiling, who was generous and generous, and smiled: "Meiling told me a lot about Mr. Situ. I have admired Mr. Situ for a long time. I really hope that you will come to such a capable businessman like Mr. Situ. Invest in the Northeast."

Meiling?Called so kindly?

Situ Nan felt a little unhappy, but smiled on his face: "It's easy to talk about. I heard that the Northeast is flourishing under Zhang Dashuai's rule. If you have the opportunity, you must visit it."

He does not comment on investing in the Northeast, and there is no idea of ​​investing in the Northeast in his plan.

Zhang Xueliang heard Situ Nan's thoughts and nodded with a smile.I thought: After all, the two parties are not very familiar, and it is normal for Situ Nan to have concerns.

He learned from the Song family that Situ Nan was a very powerful businessman.If European capital can be introduced into the Northeast, it will have a somewhat deterrent effect on the rapid expansion of Japanese capital.

Zhang Xueliang glanced around at the magnificent William Garden. Being able to own such a sky-high real estate in the golden area of ​​Shanghai Beach also shows that Situ Nan, who is similar to his own age, is indeed as rich and mysterious as Song Meiling described.

Zhang Xueliang secretly warned himself: Shanghai Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, you must not be blindly arrogant.

It is impossible for Song Meiling to tell Zhang Xueliang too much information about Situ Nan, so Zhang Xueliang does not know that the man behind the arms business with him is Situ Nan.

Situ Nan deliberately learned about the situation in the Northeast.He asked: "Zhang Shaoshuai, I heard that the Kwantung Army is domineering and the Chinese army dare not stop it. The Japanese are reclaiming and emigrating to the Northeast in large numbers, and important industries and commerce in the Northeast are also controlled by Japanese merchants. I wonder if it is true?"

This question was a bit sharp, and Zhang Xueliang didn't wrinkle slightly after hearing it.

He knows that Zhang's family maintains a cooperative relationship with Japan on the one hand, and cannot do without each other. On the other hand, they secretly guard against Japan's wolf ambitions, but cannot confront Japan head-on.

Zhang Xueliang nodded slowly and said: "The Northeast is now the largest Japanese family, and it is certain that my father can only try to maintain it. I came to Shanghai this time mainly to purchase machinery and return to the Northeast to develop the Northeast's industry and commerce in order to rejuvenate the country."

"His ambition is commendable!" Situ Nan nodded in understanding.

Xindao: Bandit Zhang is not learned and skilled, a bit like the dead head of Yuan, who knows how to develop local industry and commerce and lay a solid foundation for hegemony.The Tohoku region is sparsely populated and rich in resources. Although the Japanese business is powerful now, it is not yet overwhelming.If you intervene, you can get a share.

As long as the bandit Zhang is not dead, Meihua's investment is still guaranteed.The next few years will be the golden period of economic development in the Northeast. After making enough money, if the Zhang family can't hold the Japanese, they will withdraw the funds to the customs.

If you make a small layout, ten years later, it is possible to prevent the Japanese from getting the property plundered by the Zhang family in the northeast too easily.
