The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 392

After the fall with Sun Wen, some generals in the Cantonese army who were biased towards Sun Wen speeded up the pace of seeking the Cantonese army, attempting to take Chen Jiongming over and promote Xu Chongzhi, who was loyal to Sun Wen, to the head of the Cantonese army.So Chen Jiongming invited away those generals who harbored different intentions.The details here are not easy to mention with the Apostle Situ Meiden, but afterwards Chen Jiongming distanced himself from the Finger Model Party, decided to become independent, and cooperated closely with the Zhi Gong Party.

Seeing Chen Jiongming not speaking, Situ Meideng didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, and was silently thinking about his own thoughts.

However, looking at what the Kuomintang has done in the past few years, it has been eager for quick success and short-term gains, and there is no long-term plan. In many cases, the leaders acted rashly.

Situ Nan Meideng slowly felt that Situ Nan's evaluation of them was correct a few years ago.With the rapid development of Meihua Company and Zhi Gong Dang in the past few years, Situ Meideng's vision has also increased a lot. Some of them look down on Sun Wen, and he actively digs into the other side's corner-the Guangdong Army.

These days, if you come out and get mixed up, you still have to rely on your strength, and it's impossible to shout slogans to let others die.It would be great if the competition also joined the Zhi Gong Party.

Situ Meideng thought of this and looked at Chen Jiongming with some expectations.But Chen was a little warlord after all, and Situ Meideng swallowed it back when the words came to his lips.

He didn't know that in history, he and Chen Jiongming, Tang Jiyao and others established the Zhi Gong Party. This party was quite dirty with the Jiang Ji Kuomintang who succeeded Sun Wen Yubo, and finally got together with the Red Party.

And Chen Jiongming also became a tragedy personally, and he was designated as a rebel thief.In particular, the so-called shelling of the presidential palace made Chen Jiongming a target for everyone.

In fact, among the warlords of the Republic of China, Chen is the cleanest one.The so-called bombardment of Sun’s presidential palace was caused by Sun Wen playing a disgraceful role and failing to fulfill his promise to step down.

Chen Jiongming's subordinates wanted to expel Sun Wen and informed Sun Wen in advance.Sun refused to leave.Persuaded, still refused to leave.So someone in the Cantonese army suggested firing guns to scare him.

Three shots were fired. The first two shots were empty shots, and the last shot was a real one.But the muzzle had already fallen open, and Mao didn't hurt one.

However, seeing that the other party is coming, it is still important to save his life. Sun Wen immediately wiped the soles of his feet when he heard the sound of the cannon.Before leaving, he ordered the guards to stand firm, and the result was a conflict with the army outside.

Originally it was just a farce where both sides knew the plot, so the performance should be over here.But a certain actor is more involved in the show, maybe because he feels that he has lost a lot of face, he decides to add the show and find the place back.

Sun Wen fled awkwardly to the warship (the props prepared earlier) and ordered the bombardment of Guangzhou.The captain objected, how did the navy bombard civilian areas?

Sun was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and fired the artillery himself, and bombarded the civilian areas indiscriminately. As a result, more than 100 civilians were killed and injured and countless houses collapsed.

As for the enemy, it was one that was not and hurt.People know that if you vent your vent, you will be counterattacked by bombarding the army’s fort, and your life may not be guaranteed. It’s not like bombarding civilian areas and it’s safe.

If there is a drama to add to this period of history, it is that someone later rushed to the warship to make a pilgrimage.In fact, I lost my money and wanted to run away and take refuge.The same is the experience of fallen people in the end of the world, making each other feel sorry for each other.Mou was also taken as a confidant, and finally settled down.

Historically, because of the bombardment of the city of Guangzhou, Sun Wen and the Cantonese army took over the feud and became an unpopular person in Guangzhou.A few years later, when he died in Beijing, the whole country was in mourning, but his hometown of Cantonese was very happy and even opposed the funeral of Sun Wenguo. It was really bad than talked about.

Freezing three feet is not a cold day. It is certain that Sun Wen will not attract people in Guangdong, because this is a merchant city, and Sun Wen's unscrupulous violent revolution is contrary to the commercial traditions of Guangzhou.

Meihua Company and the Nanyang Chinese businessmen who are attached to the Zhi Gong Party have a large amount of investment in Guangdong, and they need a powerful agent to help their own interests, so Stuart Meiden couldn't help but not try to win Chen Jiongming.Once Sun Wen controls Guangdong Province, it will be a disaster for Meihua.

Situ Nan once discussed this topic with the top leaders of Zhi Gong Party, and decided to fully support Chen Jiongming, let Chen Jiongming stand on his own, and block Sun Wen and the KMT from infiltrating Guangdong.

With this purpose, Situ Meideng found Chen Jiongming again, and this time he brought the greatest sincerity to the party.

"Competition, this is the list this time. With this batch of munitions, I believe you will defeat the Gui army and the Dian army and regain Guangzhou." Situ Meiden said.

"This is a good opportunity! We are all looking at you!" Situ Meideng added.

Chen Jiongming glanced, his eyes popped out——

30,000 Medan imitation Mauser 98 rifles, 200 Maxine machine guns, 500 Mauser pistols (box guns), 100 40 or 60 caliber mortars, 30 75 caliber mountain cannons, and 5 105 howitzers!Numerous supplies of various types of ammunition.

Chapter 142

"Sneez..." Chen Jiongming took a breath and looked at Situ Meideng in a little astonishment. He was shocked by Situ Meideng's great skill.

These arms are worth at least ten million yuan!Enough for the Guangdong army to expand into two divisions with the level of the army's equipment, if according to the Chinese army, at least four divisions can be equipped.

Especially those machine guns and cannons, even more amazing!A pistol guard battalion, a mortar regiment, a mountain artillery battalion, and a heavy artillery company.

Chen Jiongming immediately calculated how to use these weapons.On the basis of the original 20,000 people of the Guangdong Army, it was expanded into two armies of 50,000 and 60,000. After the training of the troops is completed, the Guangdong Army will naturally sweep the troops from other provinces in Guangdong.

Since the beginning of this year, the two factions of Guangxi and Yunnan warlords who control the Guangzhou regime have divided the spoils unevenly, and conflicts have begun.

Chen Jiongming realized that the Guangdong army had a good opportunity to return to Guangdong. For this reason, he paid attention to the situation in Guangzhou, and usually secretly stored his energy and waited for the best time.

Now things have suddenly changed. It is not the conflict between Guangxi and Yunnan, but the arms and supplies brought by Situ Meideng.

Before Chen Jiongming could speak, Stuart Meideng took out another list and laughed: "We are also preparing to provide an armored company composed of 20 cars and a flying team composed of 10 aircrafts, and strive to capture Guangzhou as soon as possible.

Of course, the armored company and the flight team are provided by us, and we have prepared the gunners and machine gunners you want.As long as you nod, let us send a thousand or hundreds of troops to the war."

"This..." Chen Jiongming really didn't know what to say.This old Situ really had nothing to say to himself.Chen Jiongming swallowed.

aircraft?Armored vehicle?

Chen Jiongming was a little dizzy with happiness.Xindao: Is this still the level of the warlords of the Republic of China?

Although those armored vehicles only speed up the steel plate on the head of the truck and install two machine guns, there are few such luxurious equipment in the country?

Strong wealth!

Chen Jiongming was surprised by Situ Meideng's generosity.

"Thank you. Thank you. With such sophisticated equipment and tenacious soldiers, the Cantonese army must be a strong force, and the restoration of the province is no longer a problem." Chen Jiongming believes.

"Since you have such strength, why bother..." Chen Jiongming looked at Situ Meideng with some doubts.The other party is too generous.He knew that Zhi Gong Dang had an army in Nanyang.

"Why bother?" Situ Meideng smiled, as if he knew what the other party was thinking.

"It's true that we have a lot of troops, and we have been training hard, but we lack experience on the battlefield. So those who come to help you fight will also accumulate experience by the way. Also, this amount is too large to be free like last time. Give it to you, you have to give me an IOU if you have no money!"

"Okay. No problem." Chen Jiongming nodded, accepting Situ Meiden's explanation.For him, since he had a quarrel with Sun Wen, it is the best chance to prove himself by taking down Guangzhou and unifying Guangdong.So he can only succeed but not fail.

Previously, through Zhi Gong Dang, the Guangdong Army recruited a group of officers from Nanyang, including artillery units.Now that this batch of weapons is here, they are obviously also prepared for these people early.

With the addition of a large number of advanced weapons, the Guangdong Army lacks reliable technical arms. These can only rely on the Zhi Gong Party to provide relevant personnel.After Chen Jiongming and Situ Meitang discussed, Zhi Gong Dang prepared to send 1,000 troops to strengthen the Cantonese army, including a team of consultants.

This made Chen Jiongming excited.

At the same time, facing the large number of Nanyang factions in the Cantonese army, Chen Jiongming was a little worried. He smiled and said to Situ Meideng: "Brother, you gave the gun to someone again, do you want to swallow my army?"

This is very straightforward, and only people who know him well can say it.Situ Meideng smiled, "It's not a big deal to swallow you. However, I don't care about your belongings.

Our strength alone is indeed capable of taking down Guangdong and even Guangxi.We also have troops in western Guangdong, and Hainan Island has also been infiltrated by us, as long as we want...

We want to find a close friend in China, after all, our goal is in Nanyang.As for why you want to interfere in mainland matters?Because we believe that this country will be in danger of subjugation and extinction in the future, we want to build a number of heavy industries and military industries on the mainland, so as not to be bullied every day, and cry out for help."

"No?" Chen Jiongming felt that Situ Meideng was a little alarmist.

"Then I ask you, why don't we go back to Shandong now? Then why can the British rule such a big place? There are not so many Indians than the British? If you are interested, I can show you some information, and you will understand. What fate will this country and nation suffer."

Situ Meiden said.As Situ Nan became stronger and stronger, most of his predictions worked, so Situ Meideng gradually believed in Situ Nan's judgment.

"Okay!" Chen Jiongming felt a little unconcerned, but didn't say anything.

"If you think the above reasons are not credible, just treat us as a group of businessmen spending money on a good investment environment!"

Situ Meideng laughed."We are not the only one who can lead the troops. I am more optimistic about you! At least you are more valuable than this batch of arms. I want you to be one of us more. The most important thing is your philosophy and us. The same, we are like-minded. Looking across the country, there are countless warlords, many who rule one province, and some who rule several provinces, like Cao Wu in the north and Fengzhang in the northeast.
