The journey starts from the Titanic

After a year of stabilizing his rule in Guangzhou, he recently interrupted the rectification of social order. Pornography, gambling, and drugs have become an important goal of the government's rectification. Otherwise, it will not be able to reverse the social atmosphere and build a model city.

"Bigger than you?" Huo Zhiting looked at Chen Jiongming with a little surprise. This Nantian King with a heavy hand was too humble, right?

"Hey. There are people outside the world, there are heaven outside the world! You will understand with more knowledge." Chen Jiongming sighed.

Now Guangdong is getting better and better under his rule. Urban construction and industrial zone construction are in full swing, but Chen Jiongming, who knows the inside story, is not as superficial as ordinary people outside—the money comes from Meihua Company!There are people who are rich, and they are happy to do things, but don't Guangdong's economy and finance also fall into the hands of Meihua Company and Zhi Gong Party?

Chen Jiongming also remembered now that he had joined the Zhi Gong Dang, and as he knew more inside information, he became more emotional, and even felt a little surprised and speechless.But to his comfort, his long-awaited inter-provincial autonomy is slowly showing results.

Huo Zhiting left, left Guangzhou, and never returned.The fate of this famous gambling king in history has completely entered another fork.In the vast Nevada desert, there is not only sand in the sky, but also a broad prospect waiting for him.

"People are gone?" Situ Meideng asked with a smile.

"Go." Chen Jiongming said.

"Oh. Let's start! It's been a year for you, now it's time to clean up those guys." Situ Meideng smiled confidently.This was at the meeting of the Chinese branch of the Zhi Gong Party. In addition to the two bigwigs of the provincial finance minister Situ Meitang and the governor and commander Chen Jiongming, there were also the Minister of Justice Wu Chaoshu and the Guangzhou Security Commander Deng Keng.

"This is a report from the Bureau of Investigation of the Ministry of Justice. The major cigarette dealers, gangs, officials and policemen who colluded with him are all sorted out one by one, and they can be arrested with a single order." Wu Chaoshu laughed.Now the constitution of Guangdong Province is controlled by their Wu family, father and son, and a group of legal scholars. He also obtained an intelligence team from the Zhigong Party Guangzhou Intelligence Station, which has now been expanded into the Bureau of Investigation.

After seizing the power of Guangzhou, Chen Jiongming joined the Zhi Gong Party.With the support of the Nanyang Headquarters, a number of educational institutions such as military academies, police schools, political schools, financial schools, technical schools, and medical schools have been built one after another. These seeds will be used to transform the original ruling system in the future.

"Why is he also involved?" Chen Jiongming opened the report of the Bureau of Investigation and frowned.Because his nephew has a special relationship with those cigarette dealers.

"I will deal with him personally." Chen Jiongming resolutely said."Don't let the others go, try to catch them all at once."

In the next two consecutive province-wide crackdowns, a large number of smoking parlours, gambling parlours, and brothels in Guangdong were cleared. Some vicious criminals ate peanuts, and most restaurant owners were arrested and sent to labor camps until they paid He was spared after a large amount of bail.

"Good harvest! Competitive survival! How many people's anointings have been eaten by these guys, and how many unreasonable things they have done." Situ Meideng smiled with the list just compiled.

The crackdown was very effective. It not only wiped out all kinds of smoking and gambling halls and purified the social atmosphere, but also gained 20 million yuan in income and more than 15 million opium.

"Okay." Chen Jiongming was full of heart, and even the depression caused by his nephew who was sent to prison himself was wiped out.

After discussion, the sealed casinos and smoking halls were auctioned off, and 15 million opium was transferred to Meihua Company at a low price, in exchange for an arsenal of the same value, an army hospital, and a large number of medical supplies such as morphine, sulfa, baiyao and so on.

"Haha. With this batch of things, it can also stop those guys in the army." Deng Keng said with a smile.He was the commander of this operation, so the tobacco dealers and gangs in Guangdong hated him to death.

"10 million investment in education, see the construction of a middle school in each county of the province, 5 primary schools in each town, and strive to complete within 3 years. 3 million municipal transportation construction, 2 million to build an army military academy on Huangpu Island, 1 million For medical and health construction, 1 million yuan will be used to establish an army disability fund, 500,000 yuan will be established for the establishment of a police school, 500,000 yuan will be awarded to the meritorious units this time, and the last 2 million yuan will be deposited in the Guangdong Bank for emergency funding."

Situ Meideng read the list, and immediately decided the place for the 20 million yuan.

"Is it a lot to spend 10 million yuan to build a school?" Chen Jiongming was a little surprised that Situ Meideng was generous in education.

"On the contrary, I don't think it is enough. Our business is very big and we need a lot of talents. Spreading this tens of millions to the whole province is also worthy of spreading. In the future, we will need a lot of capital investment." Tao.

"I can't tell you." Chen Jiongming shook his head, feeling a little regretful.However, the interests of the military have been taken into consideration before, and it is hard to say anything.

"There is also good news. After learning about the results of our operation, the United States is very happy and intends to reward us with 10 million US dollars." Situ Meideng laughed.

"Really?" Chen Jiongming stood up in surprise.He secretly calculated it in his heart. It was a big deal. The 10 million U.S. dollars is almost 26 million silver dollars, which is almost the same as the harvest of this "Fatty Sheep" operation.

"Don't be happy. This is not cash, but machinery and equipment, used to build steel plants and arsenals, explosives plants, and other mining equipment. They are all obsolete by American factories, but they are all advanced to us. Things." Situ Meideng explained.When he just received the order, he scolded Situ Nan for being stingy and stuffed a pile of garbage.

"That's not bad. Don't the Americans rely on the weapons and ammunition produced by these machines to overwhelm the Germans? We have a good appetite and are not picky eaters."

Deng Keng smiled and said, "When our military academy is built, we will have strictly trained officers and self-produced weapons, then... there is really nothing to say."

"Good point." Chen Jiongming smiled.

"By the way, when it comes to military academy, there is something to say. I suggest recruiting some German guys. After all, they can fight!" Situ Meiden added.

"Good idea!" Everyone nodded.

1921 was an ordinary and unusual year. In Guangdong, the Zhi Gong Party led by Chen Jiongming played the banner of inter-provincial autonomy and began to build industry and develop education throughout the province. It gradually developed into a small but powerful force. Power.

Similarly, the Guangxi military government headed by Li Zongren has also embarked on the same path. With the strong investment of Meihua Company, Fangcheng Port has not only built a deep-water port capable of berthing 10,000-ton ships, but also has transported iron from Hainan Island. The mine and Annan's coal mines were continuously imported into Guangxi, and a steel plant with an annual output of 50 tons was completed in 3 years.

At the same time, there are also salt resources transported from the Hainan salt field, which also contributed to Fangchenggang becoming a salt chemical base in southern China.Everything is enviable.In the harassed southern border of the Republic of China, there are a group of such people who are paying silently.

In July, a rumbling explosion on the beach made history seem simple and blurred.An ordinary house on Wangzhi Road in the French Concession was shattered by a huge amount of explosives, and all the people in the meeting were killed.At the same time there are many innocent pedestrians, but no one cares too much about their lives.

It became a headless case, which was a heavy blow for some people.After the explosion, the land was everywhere. The "Ta Kung Pao" commented that the terrorist bombings on Wall Street in the United States made people see the red terror, and the occurrence of Shanghai, thousands of miles away, also made people reflect.This is really an era that people can't see clearly.

"It's all flattened?" A beauty was holding a baby with a gentle and kind face, but the message in the words made people shudder.

"It's leveled. There is no one left! Now it is said that the Russians did it outside. Haha."

"Isn't it a Russian? This is a fact, please remember." Liren's face trembled, unspeakably harsh.

Chapter 14 Movies

For Situ Nan, spending ten dollars to watch an opera was once a luxury.Now sitting in a luxurious and comfortable box, you can enjoy everything you need.

Every time I sit down and watch the large movie curtain in front of the venue, black-and-white images, no color, occasionally shaking snowflakes, and manual dubbing, it feels like watching a yellowed old historical documentary.

But history has turned backwards, and the current trend has not yet become history, so Situ Nan heard some laughter from the auditorium downstairs from time to time.

Situ Nan held up the red wine on the coffee table and took a sip of it.

Situ Nan leaned against a pretty woman in his arms.

"Hehe." She was amused by the funny scenes in the movie. "It's funny."

"This Chaplin is really a master. Without the cooperation of voice, he can convey rich feelings through body language. It's amazing. The performance technique has reached the highest level of silent movies."

Situ Nan commented.I thought, the era of sound movies is coming soon, right?The commercialization of Hollywood movies is also approaching a climax.

"Unexpectedly, you have such a high evaluation of him." Kuzdova stared at Situ Nan with beautiful eyes, "but he often appears as a tramp and other small characters, and satirizes you big capitalists with exaggerated performances. Do you like him too. ?"

"I can't talk about it. But if his movie is good, I would be happy to invest in him making a movie." Situ Nan said lightly, thinking: I don't know how the William Film Company in the 20th century is going, the guy Delp should Will you not let yourself down?

It's also a coincidence that the next second movie is "San Francisco Beauty" published by William Films in the 20th Century, which brought back Situ Nan's heart that wanted to leave.

"Boom bang bang", there was a burst of bright drums, eight searchlights appeared on the movie screen, cross-illuminating the modern city, and then the final shot fell on the movie theater.

Everything is familiar. This is exactly the logo of the Twenty World Fox Film Company that Situ Nan used to see, but he plagiarized it.

"It looks good, it's a little interesting." Situ Nan smiled slightly, and sat down again, waiting for the opening of the movie under the wait of the wine and the lady.

When Rose was making a movie in Hollywood, Situ Nan once visited Ban and teased the director named Jermaine Duto."I wonder how Rose is doing now?" Situ Nan thought to himself.

The movie begins, the vast west, desolate and quiet, a beauty is riding a horse, strolling in the sunset, her moving eyes seem to be looking for something?

A little at a loss, but there was a stubbornness on his face, as if to persevere.Looking at Rose's shadow on the movie screen, Situ Nan thought to himself: Independent, proud, and seductive, like a thorny rose.

As for the plot of the story, he didn't care much, he was just attracted by that face.Seeing Situ Nan staring at the heroine on the screen intently, she was indescribably fascinated, Kuzdova felt a little bit stunned.

But the beauty of Rose's vicissitudes and maturity in the movie is not comparable to her.
