The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 379

I believe those dwarfs won't jump out and squeaky!

Thinking of the Japanese who almost defeated him in the army, Wu Peifu's heart was overwhelmed!

The Han Yeping incident made Wu Peifu soberly realize that this country is like Han Yeping Company, half-dead, and if it cannot be unified, it may end up being divided up like Han Yeping Company.

Thinking of this, Wu Peifu felt heavy pressure on his shoulders, and he strengthened his belief in unifying China!

After receiving Wu Peifu's promise, Kadoorie was very excited because he is likely to become the person in charge of the project to integrate China's largest steel company.

Before he came, he had another task, which was to promote the plane.The aircraft manufacturing industry in the United States is now extremely depressed, and Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company has a lot of inventory of aircraft to be cleaned up to reduce financial pressure.

Without the order from the military, the major aircraft companies in the United States are in a dilemma, and many aircraft manufacturers that can't hold on have either closed down or switched careers.

Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company has shrunk by one-third of its original size. Some workers have been transferred to auto factories, but they are still losing money.In order to maintain the operation of the aircraft company, Situ Nan was even willing to post money to produce aircraft for Wu Peifu.

After discussing the Han Yeping company, Xiao Kadoori re-started the topic of airplanes.With his three-inch tongue, he finally convinced Wu Peifu to purchase 50 aircraft from Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company, including 15 trainer aircraft, 15 fighter jets, and 20 bombers, totaling 4.5 million.

The transaction price of this aircraft is more than cabbage!If in the first two years, the number of Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company sold to the US military would have increased by more than five times!The number of aircraft exported to France and the United Kingdom is even 10 times as high!

But it doesn't work anymore. The market is sluggish. In order to compete for the Chinese market, Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company is willing to sell aircraft to Wu Peifu.As for the so-called arms ban against China, there are also many loopholes. Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company only needs to dismantle the weapons, transport them to China and then assemble them.

This matter fell on the arms dealer Xiao Kadoori.He fully considered Wu Peifu's economic situation and pretended to generously credit Wu Peifu for the plane. Who would call him the biggest buyer?

As usual, Meihua Company also provided technicians and flight instructors to help Wu Peifu build a flight school and flight base, allowing Wu Peifu to have China's largest air force at once.

Of course, this air force also belongs to the US-China Air Force, because from the pilots to the technicians, they are provided by the US-China. Many young people are secret members of the Zhi Gong Party, but they are only temporarily employed by Wu Peifu.

Once necessary, Situ Nan and Zhi Gong Dang can transfer these pilots and technicians, leaving only a pile of unmanned scrap iron for Wu Peifu.Well, using the Chinese battlefield to train pilots is also one of the established plans of Situ Nan and Zhi Gong Dang.

Of course, Wu Peifu's arms dealer is not limited to Meihua, but Meihua provides the best service.In addition to Wu Peifu, the bandit Zhang is also the target of Meihua Company's efforts.Wu Peifu himself knew this well.

After walking out of Wu Peifu's mansion, Kadoorie went to the bandit Zhang to sell arms.However, the results were not as great as Wu Peifu's. The reason was that Meihua did not provide Zhang Zuolin as generously as it did to Wu Peifu.

Zhang Shaoshuai is very interested in airplanes and loves this kind of flying toy.At the invitation of Kadoorie, Zhang Shaoshuai visited the air show team organized by Meihua Company.Meihua Company provided several Cummins-Lincoln aircraft, and then recruited several pilots from the air force of the failed Beiyang government to form the Meihua Air Show Team.

Although the level is very average, for Zhang Shaoshuai, a rich and handsome man who has never seen the world, he was fascinated and immediately expressed that he would receive flight training and fell in love with flying.

He has this talent and learned to take off and land in less than a week.The taste of flying makes people yearn for. Zhang Shaoshuai looks at the mountains, rivers, and ancient and decadent cities below with a cheerful mood.

He glanced back, and the worried coach sitting at the back really wanted to kick this guy who always slapped his face. It would be better to replace it with the Shui Ling girl from Beijing.

Not long after Zhang Xueliang landed, he saw Kadoorie’s enthusiastic smiling face: "Young commander, the performance of this aircraft is really nothing to say. Cummins-Lincoln, a world-leading brand, has fought hard with German aircraft in Europe. It is invincible! Reconnaissance, attacking ground targets, and even destroying the enemy's headquarters, is omnipotent, and the troops that are suitable for the commander can be normalized and modernized. No, Wu Peifu will rely on our aircraft to discover the enemy's headquarters, and then... You know!"

Little Kadoorie kept instilling the role of planes in the war into Zhang Shaoshuai. According to him, Wu Peifu could not win the war without planes.

After little Kadoorie’s persuasive temptation, Zhang Shaoshuai fully realized that besides picking up girls and playing planes, oh no, it should be how powerful it is to fight with planes.

"I know what Mr. Kadoorie meant. I will definitely tell my father to prepare for the establishment of the Northeast Air Force and purchase aircraft from your company." Zhang Xueliang patted his chest.

Bandit Zhang seems to be interested in those flying toys, but when he asked about the price of the plane, he couldn't help but yelled: "Damn, this plane is too expensive. You can buy hundreds of guns for one plane. Hundreds of guns are enough for Lao Tzu to rob him from Xinmin Mansion to Fengtian."

"But, do people say that the plane can fight?" Zhang Shaoshuai said unwillingly.

"Damn bazi. You have to rely on soldiers and horses to fight the battle. That stuff is pretty fancy, maybe it's an embroidered pillow." Seeing that his son likes airplanes so much, the bandit Zhang looked aggrieved, his heart softened, and he couldn't refuse. He agreed to buy a few planes for his son to play with.

"Little six! Our family's foundation is too thin, so it will be fine. When our family defeats Wu Peifu and has money, you can buy whatever you want, okay?" Bandit Zhang Yu taught earnestly.

"However, Kadoorie said that Wu Peifu’s aircraft fleet is very powerful. This time he defeated Duan Qirui by watching the aircraft discover Qu Tongfeng’s headquarters, and then ran a long distance, winning the battle at once. Moreover, the aircraft can also throw bombs and explode cannons. The position!...I heard that Wu Peifu finds the planes very useful and has tasted the sweetness. Recently, he bought dozens of planes and prepared to use them...to deal with us..." Zhang Xueliang said unwillingly.

"What?" After the bandit Zhang heard that Wu Peifu had purchased a large number of planes, he couldn't calm down. He looked at Zhang Shaoshuai sternly, gritted his teeth and uttered three words: "Wu Peifu!!!"

Soon, the bandit Zhang got confirmation from the secret report about the role of the plane.Not to be outdone, he bought 30 planes, 10 trainers, 10 fighters, and 10 transport bombers for 2 million on the spot.At the same time, it also established its own flying school.

In this way, Kadoorie smiled, and later he generously sold a new passenger plane from Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company to Young Master Zhang as a special plane.

Wu Peifu knew nothing about this, because the arms that Meihua Company sold to the bandit Zhang were all cash transactions, unlike the fact that they could buy on credit, they actually preferred him.

The Japanese were not very happy after seeing the bandit Zhang and Meihua Company doing business.These dwarfs are like dogs, with a keen sense of smell, they have been sending spies to China for decades, and they know China better than the Chinese.They were jealous, and they could only stare. Why wouldn't they be able to produce a decent plane?They also need to import aircraft from the United States.

But those wretched guys still have a way. They import engines from the United States, load them with Japanese wood, and finally export them to China.

Or simply import aircraft from the United States or Europe, put your own brand on them, and sell them to Chinese warlords.For this reason, the bandit Zhang suffered a lot!Holding his nose, he barely accepted the dwarf's kindness.Cao Wu is a new direct line, and the three governors of the Yangtze River headed by Li Chun, Wang Zhanyuan, and Chen Guangyuan are the old direct line. Now that Wu Peifu's power is strong, it is natural to integrate the direct lines.

His first target was Wang Zhanyuan, a relatively weak Hubei warlord. Wang Zhanyuan’s poor fighting skills, depraved military discipline, first-class level in the collection of people’s fats, and very stingy, often deducted the money from his subordinates, and invested a large amount of people's fats in the concession of Tianjin. Investment speculation is pretty good.

Wu Peifu decided to expel Wang Zhanyuan and replace him with Xiao Yaonan.In terms of fighting, the ten Wang Zhanyuan are not Wu Peifu's opponents, but Wu Peifu should not be too ugly to use force against Wang Zhanyuan.

Little Kadoori gave Wu Peifu an idea, handed over the Han Yeping company to Wang Zhanyuan, and then found an excuse to dismiss him.For example, a trick of "Hubei people drive the king, Wu Peifu aids the king", is it not smooth to station troops in Wuhan?

Chapter 131 Han Yeping Disturbance

Under the planning of Xiao Jiadaoli, Han Yeping Company was transferred from the central government to Hubei.

Wang Zhanyuan didn't want to take up the mess, but had to take it. First, he was not good and directly offended Wu Peifu, and second, he got hints from Xiao Kadao, so his attitude immediately became positive.

Anyway, Han Yeping's company is already rotten. Rather than cheap the Japanese, it is better to throw out the bones and let the Americans compete with Nissin.With this mentality and the need for the support of Meihua's arms, Wang Zhanyuan twisted and agreed with Meihua's purchase of the rotten bone of Han Yeping.

Japan’s Nissin Company temporarily controlled Han Yeping Company with loans, but with the support of Meihua Company, Wang Zhanyuan was tough and insisted on handing Han Yeping Company to Meihua Company. As for Han Yeping Company’s debt to Nissin Company The debts can be advanced by Meihua Company.

How is this?Feeling troublesome, Nissin immediately used the public relations work they were good at. Unfortunately, under the intervention of Meihua, Nissin’s threats and incentives were not effective.

In the past, Nissin Company was aware that Han Yeping Company was unable to repay the debts, so it could use the identity of the creditor to control Han Yeping Company, but now Meihua Company is competing with Nissin Company for Hanye under the banner of "open door". Ping Company and Nissin Company are facing tremendous pressure.

They immediately thought that the next Han Yeping Company would be reorganization and financing. Even if Nissin Company insisted on including the debt into the shares, it would not be able to fight Meihua Company if it wanted to fight for money.

The stocks of Meihua Company, which has a weak financial position, are likely to exceed Nissin Company. Once Nissin Company is crowded out by means of capital expansion and capital injection, Nissin Company may have to completely fade out of Hanyeping Company.

Cunning Nissin Company came to discuss with Meihua Company, and proposed a 1 million benefit fee to make Meihua Company give up interfering with Han Yeping Company. If you change to someone else, move your mouth, make a gesture and earn 1 million, you may agree to it immediately. .

It is a pity that they ran into Situ Nan.The devils are so generous!However, after miscalculating, Meihua Company spent far more than this 1 million in order to create a favorable situation today, and it was determined by Han Yeping Company Situ Nan.

Meihua Company sternly rejected Nissin's "goodwill" and stated that it insisted on reorganizing Hanyeping Company as a shareholder, which was approved by Hubei.

Nissin Company was about to cry, and the methods of Wen and Wu didn't work, especially Meihua Company's determined attitude gave them a headache. The representative of Nissin Company hated that there are few hairs on the mouth, but the words are sharp. Rosland, the Jew who doesn't enter?Kadoorie.

The American company has a lot of money, and the burning of the money burns the brain, so it has to be Han Yeping's mess?Wouldn't it be good for Nissin to destroy it?Will the steel and equipment of the United States and Japan enter the Chinese market at will?How great this is!

After hitting a wall several times, Nissin also seemed to feel that what Meihua actually wanted was Hanyang Iron Works, and entered China's steel industry by acquiring Hanyang Iron Works.

Perhaps the Pacific Ocean is too big, and the cost of exporting American machinery and equipment to China is too high, so I simply invested and set up factories there.

This is the only reason Nissin could find that is not so convincing.

"The Yankees in this place! Let them do this. In a few years, their steel and machinery products in China may compete fiercely with Japanese products!" a senior Nissin company scolded.

"That is also a few years later. The Americans will let them smash the money if they want to, and give them the mess at the Hanyang Iron Works to see if they will be dragged to death.

Now our main thing is to keep Daye’s iron ore and pig iron, and Pingxiang’s coal also has to fight."Another high-level said. His words were recognized by everyone.
