The journey starts from the Titanic

After all, Song Ziwen did not give a promise. The steel in the warehouse of Wuhan Industrial Group was either sent out in advance or transferred elsewhere. In short, it would not easily fall into the hands of the enemy.

The smoke billowed and the blast furnaces on the edge of the Yangtze River were in clusters.

Song Ziwen would be overwhelmed every time he saw it, feeling hot, and muttered: "I hope this time I can go through it safely, otherwise the factory guards of hundreds of people will not be able to protect this foundation."

At this moment, how much he yearns for the army from the south to fight over immediately!

Although the Guangzhou government released the news of the Northern Expedition, the government did not officially confirm it, and just kept producing public opinion propaganda.

Guangzhou seems to be more lively. The people are not panicking. The teahouses and night markets scattered on the streets and alleys are still booming. The local factory owners discuss more "refugees" from other provinces at gatherings.

Recently, orders from factories have increased a lot, and many people plan to expand their scale, bringing in labor from other provinces and still have funds.

Situ Nan sat in the market, listening to the comments of the obese factory owners, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Let's go!" Situ Nan whispered to the grimace man beside him.

Soon after returning to Guangzhou, Daoist Absinthes appeared in front of Situ Nan like a shadow, but this Daoist took off his robes, and there was no trace of the Fudge Daoist on the streets of the United States.The only thing that remains unchanged is the bitter look on his face, the bitter look with a trace of compassion remains unchanged.

Back home, the two began to discuss the situation.

"Master Dao, how is the situation in Fujian?" Situ Nan asked.

"Sun Wen's people are choking Sun Chuanfang to death. Li Houji is a rubbish and has long lost control of Fujian. Qi Xieyuan and Lu Yongxiang's people have been beaten up hard, the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway has been broken, and the foreigners of Shanghai are secretly anxious. , But the war did not spread to Shanghai Beach, they can still sit still."

Absinthe smiled, with a look of dog biting on his face.

He was satisfied with the new post of Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and a large amount of intelligence kept coming back from Shanghai.Some of the people left by Situ Nan were incorporated into the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the establishment of a special force independent of the military in the Military Intelligence Bureau was only rarely shown.

"It's okay if the Kuomintang fights with Sun Chuanfang!" Situ Nan was a little surprised, but it made sense to think about it. With Sun Wen's unwillingness to be lonely, he would definitely not miss any chance.

Sun Chuanfang, the direct warlord, was even more a speculative careerist. He once emerged in the Soviet-Zhejiang War in history. After turning the tricks of Qi Xieyuan, Lu Yongxiang and others, in just a few years, he became a leader in the five middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Great warlord.

Unfortunately, within two years, the Kuomintang's Northern Expedition was smashed.

"Sun Wen and Sun Chuanfang seem to be very beneficial to us!" Situ Nan smiled, "But after all, we can't make a big wave. When we defeat Wu Peifu's influence in Central China, none of the guys in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River will run away."

"That's what it said. It is worth noting that many Communists in Sun Wen's gang got involved. Even Feng Yuxiang from the north has connections with the Communist Party. According to intelligence, behind them are the Russians from the Far Eastern Republic. ."

Absinthe frowned and reported that the so-called Far Eastern Republic is Soviet Russia’s satellite country in the Far East. Absinthe, which was influenced by Situ Nan, has been vigilant against Soviet Russia’s vigorously importing revolutions into China. A considerable part of the military intelligence bureau’s energy has been spent. In monitoring the Communist Party.

"Will it affect our plan?" Situ Nan asked. The Communist Party is the shadow in his heart. He also knows that the root of the problem lies in the poverty and oppression of the country. They cannot be eliminated by force.

"That's not true. The people in our territory are all controlled by me, and intelligence shows that they are also secretly promoting our Northern Expedition! Once our forces are dispersed, the greater the territory, the lower the control power, which may be a problem for them. opportunity."

Absinthe analyzed.

The Communist Party has strict discipline and it is very difficult to break into them. However, due to Situ Nan’s reminder, the well-prepared Intelligence Bureau sent undercover undercover agents into it from the very beginning of the Communist Party’s establishment, and a large amount of intelligence survived from it.

"The north will soon be in chaos. It's best to let them develop north. We must not let them focus on the south, lest they interfere with our next industrial construction."

Situ Nan reminded.He breathed out secretly, he wanted to play with fire. If the Communist Party develops in the north and the two sides can live in peace, he doesn't mind supporting the Communist Party. With them, in the future, if the Japanese army goes south, it will definitely involve a lot of energy.

Relatively speaking, the poor and backward north is really the natural soil of the Communist Party, which is very suitable for their development. In Situ Nan’s plan, it was unrealistic to unify the country before World War II.

"I know what to do." Wormwood nodded, and only he could understand Situ Nan's hard work.He is in charge of the Intelligence Department as well as Situ Nan's means to ensure that domestic forces are not out of control.

"Feng Yuxiang may rebel against Wu Peifu, and he may have an appointment with Zhang Zuolin. Once something happens in the north, we will attack decisively and use thunder to win Central China."

In the end, Situ Nan did not forget to exhort the absinthe, there is no way, the reputation of the general in history is too great.

"Okay." Wormwood nodded, agreeing.

"However, after the news of the Northern Expedition in Guangzhou, the attitude of Sun Wen's group changed a little. The war on the front line tends to cease fire." Absinthe added.

"No one is a fool. Greed must be in line with strength, otherwise..." Situ Nan shook his head and said lightly.

Hearing the sound of cars outside, Song Meiling came back, and he greeted her with a smile.

Chapter 52

Fengtian, the autumn breeze is cool, but the commander's mansion is hot.

Zhang Zuolin put on the military uniform that had just been shipped from the south, and proudly gestured at the Fengjun high-level meeting.Looking back, he smiled and said to Zhang Xueliang, "Damn, this woolen coat is sturdy and warm to wear. It's much better than the big padded jacket that Lao Tzu used to in the old woods. This is a good thing, six sons!"

With this batch of uniforms, Fengjun is not afraid of the cold winter, and can even initiate battles in winter.As winter is approaching, many parts of the north are freezing, and the shipping route of Dalian Port is still open. The weapons and materials ordered by Zhang Xueliang from the south are really being shipped.

The Japanese are well aware of this transaction. They control an important port in the Northeast, but they can't fault it. The two sides signed a normal commercial contract with no additional conditions.

Fengtian's industrial level is still very backward, far from the level before the September 18th Incident in history. Compared with expensive Japanese products, Zhang Zuolin hopes to buy more cost-effective Guangzhou products.In fact, there are more and more ships traveling between Tohoku and Japan.

"The southerners are cunning. They have been developing military industry, selling weapons to us, and profiting from it. We must accelerate the development of military industry, otherwise they will always be in a situation of being controlled by others."

Zhang Xueliang analyzed, his face was heroic, and when he talked about the south, his expression was a bit solemn.In the past two years, he has not only visited Guangzhou, but also visited Nanhua, Daxing iron smelting in the south, and the military industry is leading the country. He can produce rifles, machine guns and small and medium-caliber artillery. In addition to Fengtian, Lu Yongxiang and other forces also purchase weapons from the Ishii Armory. It shows that the scale of Guangzhou's military industry has developed to a terrifying level.

"This is reasonable." Zhang Zuolin nodded, very satisfied with his son's performance.He said this to his heart, he is not an ordinary rash man, his vision and methods are first-class, otherwise he can't compete with the thriving Wu Peifu many times.

"Marshal, what are the skills of the Southerners. They can't fight in wars. Why don't they look at us Beiyang? When we defeat Wu Peifu and enter the Central Plains, this world will be our army. As long as you give an order, I will immediately wave The army goes south."

A Fengjun general arrogantly roared. He was tall, had a drink of wine, his face was red, and his tone was not small.At first glance, there is still a bit of grace and good looks. His name is Zhang Zongchang, and he is also an old bandit who ranks high among this group of bandits.

If he says his name, Situ Nan will definitely sneer: In history, this dog meat general Zhang Zongchang didn't know a lot of characters, so he was proud of some cleverness for a while, but he was actually a big mess!

Zhang Zongchang is a big idiot who doesn't know how to learn. The reason why Zhang Zuolin valued him was mainly because he had thousands of Belarusian mercenaries under him.

After the Red-White-Russian War, a large number of Belarusians went into exile in the northeast and returned to Zhang Zongchang. The Belarusian mercenaries have rich experience and good combat power. They also brought heavy weapons such as armored trains from Russia, which is the only one in the country.

Faced with the Chinese army, these bereaved dogs immediately became arrogant soldiers, and Zhang Zongchang's position in Fengjun also increased.

Zhang Zongchang's words were in line with Zhang Zuolin's appetite, and the old bandits of Fengjun also smiled, saying "yes".Drinking and eating big pieces of meat are fun.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the northern army has fought to the south. During the Xinhai period, the northern army had been suppressing the southern revolutionary army. If Yuan Shikai had not dealt with the Qing court, the southern revolution would have been suppressed.

Looking at the country, apart from the Zhigong Party in Guangdong and Guangxi and those guarding dogs in Sichuan, which force did not evolve from Beiyang?

The old bandits who conscientiously looked down on the distant southern army really looked down upon Wu Peifu.Zhang Zuolin only hopes that Wu Peifu's attention will be distracted by the army of Guangdong and Guangxi, and does not expect Chen Jiongming to make much contribution.

"Damn bazi, now Lu Yongxiang is crying bitterly before he starts fighting. Duan Qirui also hopes that we can make some noise so that we can share Lu Yongxiang's pressure. What should we do?"

After Zhang Zuolin finished speaking, he swept his eyes, and saw the eager expressions on the faces of the brothers secretly happy, but their faces were calm.

Now he and Wu Peifu are the only ones who can contend for the world.Cao Kun was embarrassed and left home, and it was time to make a voice of Fengtian.

"You have to support it, and you can't let Lu Yongxiang fall too fast. If he falls, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with the direct line."

The mature and stable Zhang Zuoxiangdao.

The words of this old brother whose name seems very close but not related by blood deeply caught Zhang Zuolin's heart. Zhang Zuolin nodded, and then looked at Zhang Jinghui, Li Jinglin, Tang Yulin, Zhang Zongchang and other old bandits with encouragement, as well as those who sprang up in the past two years. The new generals such as Yang Yuting and Guo Songling, who are under his command, are full of talents and unconsciously confident.
