The journey starts from the Titanic

With a long boat whistle, Shanghai's beach gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes.Chen Youren looked back at Shanghai Beach, saying goodbye to the ten years of turbulent years spent on this land. He vaguely knew that this parting might also be eternal, and at least his personal destiny would enter a new world.

It took him a long time to return to the cabin in a daze.

There was a small reception on the boat. Under Wu Liande's introduction, Chen Youren met Lin Yimin, Song Ziwen, and Chen Tianming who came from the United States.

Song Ziwen's appearance surprised him a lot, and he walked to Song Ziwen's side with the wine glass.

"It's hard to imagine seeing you here." Chen Youren looked at the sea outside and said with emotion.He originally thought that the Song family could be used by Sun Wen, but now it seems that it is just wishful thinking of many people.

Song Ziwen turned his head and glanced at Lin Yimin, who was talking about something with Situ Meideng, and said, "That's my boss. This time I went to Nanyang to see it."

After talking with a slight smile, he took a mission to Nanyang this time to investigate the market in Nanyang, and at the same time, he participated in an upcoming event with his own actions.

Situ Meideng was in a good mood. He looked at Chen Tianming with a calm face, and his eyes were filled with relief.

"I've heard about the United States. If we did a good job, we should let those white ghosts know how good we are." Situ Meideng patted Chen Tianming's shoulder vigorously.

After he left the United States, the North American Zhi Gong Tang was handed over to Chen Tianming, who later became the head of the Zhi Gong Party Americas Division.

"I didn't contribute much. The main thing was the big boss and a group of young people. I just heard the news after leaving the United States."

Chen Tianming smiled.He has now been separated from the gang affairs, and the affairs of Chinatown have been handed over to the new generation of young people such as Qin Zishan and Wang Chen.

"Don't be humble, there is also your credit here. I have discussed with the American side, and I am going to let you go to Guangzhou to take over my work." Situ Meiden said.

"To Guangzhou?"

Chen Tianming immediately understood that, as the veteran and chairman of the Zhi Gong Dang, Situ Meitang really wanted to take control of Nanyang at this moment, and Guangzhou really needed someone to replace him.

"Can you let others go? I'm here for the first time, and I'm afraid I won't convince the crowd?" Chen Tianming said with a bitter expression.He really doesn't want to miss the battle for the founding of Nanyang. He can't just watch other people open up the territory in Nanyang, and there is only one word left for him in Guangzhou, right?

"You are mature and stable, knowledgeable and capable. In the past few years, you have been able to take care of the affairs of the United States in an orderly manner, which has allowed Zhi Gong Dang to expand a lot in the United States. You can't afford to leave Guangzhou to you." Situ Mei Denghu said with a face.

Seeing Chen Tianming’s thoughts, he made another promise: “Look a little longer. Nanyang is the present, but Guangzhou is the future. Don’t you? Don’t worry! The future will be here or there. , All have your place."

"Ok!"

Chen Tianming had to accept Situ Meideng's kindness.He felt a little regretful. He rushed to Shanghai from San Francisco happily, and he was ready to go to Nanyang, but was arranged to go to Guangzhou halfway.

Two days later, when the ship arrived in Guangzhou, Chen Tianming got off the ship with a grimace and returned to his hometown, Guangzhou, which is familiar and unfamiliar.Situ Mei has made arrangements for him, and has clearly explained to Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng.

Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng were very supportive of Situ Mei's voyage to Southeast Asia. With the support of these two bigwigs, Chen Tianming, a new financial member, slowly gained a foothold in Guangzhou.

The ship stayed in Guangzhou for a short time, replenishing fresh water supply, and continued to sail to the South China Sea.When passing through Hainan, another ship joined the voyage, and there were also several dark and serious young men on board.

Although they are wearing suits, their meticulous, straight waist, and unsmiling looks are easily reminiscent of the word soldier.

"Who are they?" Chen Youren looked at the men on the deck and asked Wu Liande beside him.

"The shorter one is called Zhang Chengdong, the original commander of the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Army. The tall one next to him is Situ Yong, the commander of the Third Division of the Guangdong Army. The foreign men beside them should be German staff officers. I was invited to Guangxi not long ago. When training military doctors, I met them once." Wu Liande introduced.

"In this operation, not only Nanyang, but also a lot of people from Guangdong and Guangxi were sent there. I have heard Situ Meideng say that the people who came from Guangdong and Guangxi this time were sent from Nanyang a few years ago. The Guangdong-Guangxi War is their handwriting."

Wu Liande told Chen Youren what he knew.Now that Chen Youren has been on the ship, he is not afraid that he will leak the news. Besides, he will soon become one of them.

"Hello, Mr. Wu!" Zhang Chengdong and the others came over.

"Hello, General Zhang!" Wu Liande smiled."This is Mr. Chen Youren, my friend! These two are General Zhang Chengdong and Situ Nan."

"Chen Youren? Chen Youren, who participated in the Paris Peace Conference and criticized the Beijing government for being banned?" Zhang Chengdong awed in awe.

"Fortunately meeting. General Zhang and General Situ." Looking at the two overly young generals, Chen Youren felt a little skeptical, but liked the sharp military temperament in them very much.

"Two generals, our army...well, are you sure?" Chen Youren asked worriedly.Before he knew it, he had already used the word us.

As the relationship with Situ Meideng and the others deepened, Chen Youren felt that it was not easy to get to the public, and the picture was not small.Although there are still some differences between each other, I am slowly moved by this group of "people with lofty ideals", and I am also slowly inclined to join the great cause of Nanyang Chinese independence....

Chen Youren and his fleet are still sailing at sea, and the island of Sumatra, thousands of miles away, has become lively.Especially in Medan, the base of South China, there is a steady stream of ships coming from all over the world, unloading large amounts of military supplies from ships, and thousands of young and strong men walking off the ships.

They were reticent, quick and decisive, and immediately disappeared into forest roads after disembarking from the boat.The development of Medan in the past few years has exceeded the estimates of the Dutch and Indian authorities. The emerging Chinese forces have fully penetrated this area. The Dutch have long lost control of the city, although they can get expensive taxes every year.

This is why Governor Van Persie is reluctant to use force.

The term of this old guy will expire next month. In his words, he is already full, and at the same time he is kind enough to leave a prosperous city.

According to their Dutch tradition, if his successor wants to get more benefits from the Chinese, he will have to rely on his own hands.

The situation in Medan is a bit weird, but Van Persie doesn't want to bother so much anymore.He is sixty years old and has dedicated too much youth to the queen. Now is the time for him to enjoy himself.

Just before he left, what was a bit disturbing was that the indigenous people of North Sumatra were making trouble again.There are also some indigenous people on the island of Borneo.

Since the beginning of this year, I don’t know if it was affected by Soviet Russia. Several guerrillas have appeared in the Banda Aceh area of ​​northern Sumatra and southern Borneo. They attacked the local government, destroyed foreign companies, and plundered Dutch businessmen’s property. It caused considerable losses to the Dutch and Indian authorities.

In the face of those compatriots who have lost their property and relatives, Governor Van Persie had to recruit Major General Van Nistelrooy to discuss countermeasures.

"I don't want my successor to tell me, hey, man, I'm here to clean up the mess for you. Do you know what I mean?"

The Governor looked at the general who was not quite right in front of him with a serious face.

"Of course. I will send troops to wipe out the natives soon."

Major General Van Nistelrooy believed himself, and did not pay attention to the indigenous guerrillas at all.He thought of something again, and said: "The Chinese in Sumatra are frequent small movements during this period. Do you need it?" Major General Van Nistelrooy raised his hand to demonstrate a hand knife.

The Governor was noncommittal, thought for a moment, and replied: "Deal with the guerrillas first. The rest is up to you and the next Governor, but I believe you will succeed."

"Damn old fox!" Major Van Nistelrooy came out of the governor's mansion and looked back at the luxurious governor's mansion.Fortunately, he is more acquainted in his hometown. He has made a full profit and left himself a chance to be rich.

Should the new governor not rely on the army when he comes to power?Whether it’s Li Wei or creating wealth for the kingdom, no one should be able to oppose me——

Chapter 63 The Wind Rises (3)

Banda Aceh, a Dutch name, is called Kota Raja in the Muslim world.This important city on the northwestern cape of Sumatra is naturally rich, rich in pepper, rubber, gold and silver, as well as oil and gas resources, but it has not yet been developed.

Hundreds of years ago, Muslim merchants came across the sea, and their descendants established a great Aceh Kingdom there, once ruled the Malay Peninsula and controlled the pepper trade in Southeast Asia.

Today, the glory of the past has been turned into a cloud of smoke. On the municipal building of the colonial government, the flying flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands reminds people passing by from time to time that there is no Kota Raja, only Banda Aceh. You are all subjects of the Queen. , Must accept the Queen’s rule.

Hassan's heart ached slightly. He looked at the two sentinels at the door of the city government, with their little hats tilted to one side, a little sullen, eyes distracted, unconscious, chatting with a wretched smile on his mouth.

Hassan couldn't help but shook his head, a little confused as to why the land of the Aceh Kingdom would be ruled by these rubbish scum.

The Dutch never stand guard, and those who stand guard are indigenous soldiers.

Although from the appearance, Hassan is no different from the two indigenous soldiers standing guard, Hassan wished to kill the two nasty guys with one shot.

Because they are Javanese, the most brutal doglegs of Dutch colonists, they followed the Dutch from Java Island to here. In the decades of war, the Dutch and Javanese massacred at least half a million Acehnese, and To subdue the Kingdom of Aceh, both sides are already undead enemies.

"Let's go! Hassan." Seeing the two guards approaching with ugly expressions, the entourage next to him pulled Hassan's arm.
