The journey starts from the Titanic

Huang Shaohong had a relaxed face, and there was envy that could not be concealed in his tone.He still didn't know that oil companies were recruiting workers in Guangxi, and many workers wanted to work in faraway Africa instead of South China, which is being drawn into more and more distances.

In the past six months, the material resources imported from Nanhua have continued to flow. Under the stimulus of abundant materials, the speed of the Gui army's army expansion has been accelerated, and 100,000 people have been recruited from the reserve.

"It's not necessarily wealthy. Nobody's money comes from the wind. However, with their backing, our Bagui children must give this country a bright future."

Li Zongren resolutely said, a fire was burning in his heart.

"Four years of sharpening a sword, just waiting for the eyebrows to unscath! Hurry up, time is running out."

Li Zongren ordered.

Get out of the car and walk quickly towards Nanning Railway Station. A military train that has been postponed to depart is already ready. It is loaded with various arms and ammunition, and a VIP carriage has been added to the back.

the next day.With a ray of morning light in the east, Li Zongren walked out of the Guangzhou Railway Station. After a night of rest, he was full of energy. A major of the Secret Service waited for a long time and quickly took Li Zongren to the Zhigong Party headquarters in Yuexiu District.

Walking into the conference room, the atmosphere was not as serious as imagined. He saw a strange man sitting beside Lin Yimin, his expression confident and calm, and he had his own momentum.

Li Zongren was taken aback for a moment. He didn't know this person, who was he?Why does it appear in such an important place?

Situ Nan turned his head and saw a 30-year-old general standing at the door, tall and sturdy, strong, handsome, handsome, with clear eyes, and he looked elegant and calm.

This is Li Zongren?

Situ Nan smiled and nodded, thinking: I finally look forward to you.Compared with Jiang Weiji's aggressive eyes, the Gui system warlord he had painstakingly cultivated was a bit more peaceful and tolerant.

Li Zongren is an orthodox soldier, with a decent style, without the bad habits of the old society. He doesn't like to exchange posts with people to worship his brothers. He stays in a high position and maintains the simple heart of the children of the farm.

Situ Nan was worried about Jiang Weiji and wanted to get rid of him, but he had an indescribable appreciation for Li Zongren. He has been paying attention to Li Zongren. Basically, Li Zongren's performance is not much different from that in history.

Seeing Situ Nan smiled, Li Zongren suddenly relaxed, and he felt familiar.The two eyes met in the air, separated by a short distance of three or four meters, seeing kindness in each other's eyes.

Somewhat strangely, Situ Nan's smile was indescribably hazy, but there was absolutely no malice, he was sure.

"General Huwei, the style remains the same!" Lin Yimin stood up and walked over with a smile.

Li Zongren glanced around and found no figure of Chen Jiongming, the chief of staff of the Cantonese Army. Deng Keng, the chief of staff of the Cantonese Army, did not come either. He came a little early and the meeting had not yet started.

"Boss Lin, business is good!" Li Zongren smiled.

Lin Yimin left the Guangzhou government and did not hold any official positions. However, from the industrial construction of Guangzhou Nanning, the Chinese president of Meihua Company is inseparable. Guangdong Bank and Guangxi Bank, which control the finance of Guangdong and Guangxi, are almost inseparable from Meihua. Control of the bank, it can be said that Lin Yimin is the shadow leader of the Guangzhou regime.

Now that Lin Yimin appeared in the special meeting of the Northern Expedition, Li Zongren was a little surprised, and it was only natural to turn his head and think.

"This is Mr. Situ Nan who came from South China, the special representative of the South China Zhi Gong Party. Mr. Situ has always supported our revolutionary cause."

Lin Yimin introduced that he looked at Situ Nan with some admiration and thought: If the young master didn't want to be in politics and didn't want to show his face, it would be easy to become the leader of a country.

"Mr. Situ?"

Li Zongren looked at Situ Nan standing with Lin Yimin and Situ Nan, and immediately realized that the big boss who had been with him for a long time was the man in front of him.

No wonder that apart from this meeting, I felt a familiar feeling. From the perspective of temperament, Lin Yimin and Situ Nan had many similarities.

Well, from the face of the eye, the deep eye sockets and the high nose bridge fit the characteristics of a mixed race. He has heard a lot about Situ Nan from Lin Yimin, and he is one of the few people who can come into contact with such secrets.

Now that the real person is standing in front of him, Li Zongren seems to have a lot to say, and when his lips turn into a sigh: "I didn't expect Mr. Situ to be so young!"

"Everyone! The general is also young and promising. I feel a sense of strength from you."

Situ Nan responded with a smile, making no secret of his appreciation for Li Zongren.

When the two met for the first time, they were not very familiar. He didn't pat Li Zongren on the shoulder like Lin Yimin, and encouraged him, "Little plum, work hard, I am optimistic about you!"

Chapter 48

Looking at the whole country, compared with the gloomy Beiyang, the Guangzhou regime is dominated by a group of ambitious young people. All officers are trained in new military training. Some of the government officials with real power are open-minded and well-educated. Vigorous, energetic, ideal, more willing to sacrifice, compared to the conservative and decadent old-school bureaucrats who came from the late Qing Dynasty, he was inferior in scheming and means, but this is exactly what Situ Nan hopes to see.

Fortunately, this is Guangzhou, the most open and energetic city in the country, unlike the capital in the north where even the air is soaked with decadent smell.

Situ Nan thought to himself.

In his heart, he didn't like the old zombies with melon hats, mandarins, calcium-deficient knees, and sinister eyes. Only the new young talents like Li Zongren and Lin Yimin fit the hearts of Situ Nan's modern people.

Situ Nan smiled and stretched out his hand, holding a pair of rough and powerful soldiers' hands, and nodding secretly.

"I have always admired the style of the general. I want to talk to General Li and want to invite you to the Situ Mansion, can I?"

"Okay!" Li Zongren agreed. He always wanted to ask Mr. Situ in person why he was only a small camp commander when he suddenly received strong support from Meihua Company. After the fall of the old Gui system He quickly became a rising star.

This meeting was held temporarily, and only the core talents were eligible to attend, because Situ Nan, who had been behind the scenes, had to show up about the future of China.

After a while, the three giants of the Guangzhou government, Chen Jiongming, Deng Keng, and Chen Tianming all rushed over, plus Li Zongren, Lin Yimin, and Situ Nan, a total of six people.

At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Jiongming presided over the meeting. He was the oldest person at the scene and the recognized leader of the Zhi Gong Party.

"First of all, we must welcome Mr. Situ to attend this meeting in his busy schedule. In recent years, the changes in Guangdong and Guangxi have been seen by everyone. Our achievements today cannot be separated from the great support of overseas Chinese such as Mr. Situ."

Chen Jiongming nodded sincerely to Situ Nan.

"We all came together with the heart of national independence and prosperity. This is the result of everyone's hard work. Guangdong and Guangxi have become China's model provinces. Mr. Chen and Mr. Li have contributed."

Situ Nan said modestly and glanced at Chen Jiongming and Li Zongren. In history, the two belonged to different camps, but now they have come together.

Hehe, Situ Nan’s words Chen Jiongming are very useful, his face is full of glory. The American-Chinese faction has always paid attention to maintaining his position as a political leader. Of course, this is also related to Chen Jiongming's low ambition, self-knowledge, and no way of pointing out.

"One of the goals of this Northern Expedition is to take Hubei and put our major industries such as the Hanyang Iron Factory under the protection of the army!"

At the meeting, Lin Yimin strongly suggested.

Wuhan Industrial Group is the industry of Meihua Company. In recent years, under the rule of the Beiyang government, its development has been subject to many restrictions. Lin Yimin dared not invest more in Wuhan for fear of making wedding dresses for others.

This is also the consensus of everyone. Push it to the Yangtze River and connect the Southern Revolutionary Base with the Central China Heavy Industry Base. In the future, whether you move eastward or continue northward, you can take the initiative.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass will go first, how are the logistical preparations?"

Chen Jiongming nodded and asked seriously.I thought: The Guangzhou government is strong and strong. The banner of inter-provincial autonomy has been playing for several years, and it will soon be lost.

With the help of the Ministry of Propaganda, negative news about the Beiyang warlords has appeared more and more on major forums, and the call for the Northern Expedition has become increasingly louder.

"Enough to consume 200,000 troops for half a year. At the same time, the Ministry of Finance can spend 20 million South China dollars in military expenditures. Through the issuance of public debt, I am sure that I can obtain 30 million South China dollars from private subscriptions. That adds up to 50 million South China dollars. It should be enough. Up."

Chen Tianming, who is in charge of finance, believed himself and turned to Lin Yimin.

"Meihua can provide 10 million South China dollars in loans. In order to deal with possible foreign interference, our overseas compatriots can raise 100 million South China dollars through special channels. Of course, this money is planned to be used for economic recovery after the war, it is best Don't use it."

Lin Yimin joked.

Nan Hua Yuan is close to the silver dollar, 150 million Nan Hua Yuan, dear, isn't this even the armaments prepared in the early stage?Wu Peifu should not be in the mood to compete with the beard in the northeast when he heard this news?
