The journey starts from the Titanic

Although we can finally find the place, we are not afraid of the arrogance of the British, but it is better to avoid the bloody tragedy.This is not a sign of weakness, but a precaution.

To achieve this goal, it is impossible to show weakness and patience blindly, and you have to show muscles to those bastards!

"Spent so much money on the plane, not just to deal with domestic warlords."

Situ Nan passed on his words to Situ Yong on the front line of Wuhan through the Intelligence Bureau.This guy has seen big scenes, he is not very afraid of foreigners.

Well, the move of the Guangzhou government to the north has gradually been put on the agenda.Before that, Song Ziwen wanted to clean up Wuhan.

"Song Lao, I want to hand over to you Wuhan Industrial Group and Hanyang Arsenal. I plan to let Liu Enzuo stay on, what do you think?"

See you again, Song Ziwen was not polite, and bluntly said to Song Weichen.He has no time to manage Wuhan Industrial Group now, so he must let go of specific affairs and transfer more energy to government affairs.

"Okay. Since you trust me, I will toss this old bone for another two years." Song Weichen nodded and laughed, without pushing back.

"As for the arsenal, Liu Enzuo is indeed a suitable candidate. I believe that the arsenal can reproduce its glory in his hands." Song Weichen said again.

He was a little strange. According to the usual practice in Guangzhou, Song Ziwen should privately own the arsenal and merge it into Wuhan Industrial Group or other companies.

This thought flashed past, and Song Weichen looked at the energetic Song Ziwen without talking, but he was full of emotion in his heart.

A few years ago, if someone said that this wealthy young businessman could become the ruler of one party, he would not believe it. In these days, everything has to be fistful. With guns and soldiers, you can be the king.

The current Guangzhou regime is not a warlord, and military generals are strictly controlled not to interfere in government affairs. Such a group with a political program advocates a business-oriented idea that suits Song Weichen's appetite.

From Song Ziwen, Song Weichen saw infinite hope and resolutely took over the important task of managing Wuhan Industrial Group.

"Wuhan Industrial Group is a world-class chaebol giant with business covering major industries such as steel, machinery, railways, and weapons production. It is destined to become the backbone of China's steel industry, and its status is equivalent to China's U.S. Steel Company.

According to my plan, I intend to build Hanyang into the veritable Pittsburgh of the East."

Song Ziwen explained that he was reluctant to part with Wuhan Industrial Group, a company that worked hard by himself.Situ Nan once told Song Ziwen, and now Song Ziwen passed it on to Song Weichen.

Song Weichen swallowed, licked his mouth, looked at Song Ziwen in surprise, and thought that this guy was too ambitious.

What a behemoth the US Steel Company is. The annual output of steel exceeds 10 million tons, which is higher than that of any country outside the United States. The only company that can compete with it is Bethlehem United Steel Company.

"Wuhan is located in the center of the north-south junction, with developed railways and shipping, convenient transportation, abundant surrounding resources, a vast market, and a fairly good industrial base. All these are conducive to us making Wuhan the largest industrial base in China.

The government's determination to heavy industry is unimaginable, and it will be done at all costs. I can guarantee this. After all, Wuhan will become the national capital."

Song Ziwen said boldly, accidentally letting go when he was proud.

"The capital? Isn't it Nanjing?"

Song Weichen's eyes brightened, and his first reaction was to invest in real estate. As a wealthy real estate businessman in Wuhan, it is natural for him to have such an awareness.

"Nanjing is also good, but it's too close to the seaside and it's not safe. Moreover, the situation in Shanghai is quite special. Foreigners have troops stationed there."

Song Ziwen shook his head."It's good to know, Song Lao."

When he mentioned Shanghai, he frowned, feeling a little jealous.It is the consensus of the high-level Guangzhou government to make Wuhan the capital and it is an inevitable choice.

But this is a bit early. After all, Hubei has just been defeated, and Li Zongren is still fighting the Beiyang warlords in Jiangxi.

Nodding, Song Weichen's heart was hot.Song Ziwen is called Song Weichen Song Lao, showing the close relationship between the two parties.What makes him even more excited is that Wuhan Industrial Group's expansion funds have already fallen. The William Consortium of the United States, the South China Chinese Consortium, and the parent company Meihua Company will jointly inject capital into Wuhan Industrial Group. The amount is far beyond Song Weichen's imagination.

As an affiliate of Wuhan Industrial Group, Hanyang Arsenal has greatly benefited.

Liu Enzuo, the general office of the arsenal, walked into the residence of the chief executive of Wuhan, feeling uneasy.

"Mr. Liu, we meet again. I have always wanted to see you, but unfortunately I have been too busy recently."

"Chief Song..."

"It's Ziwen, or Mr. Song!"

After meeting as usual, Song Ziwen's attitude made Liu Enzuo's heart relieved.The Hanyang Arsenal is the largest asset in the government's takeover of Wuhan, and Song Ziwen attaches great importance to it.

"The government will rectify the Hanyang Arsenal, drastically, and clear out irrelevant things. I give you full responsibility."

Song Ziwen is straight to the point.

During the period of Beiyang rule, Liu Enzuo looked for Song Ziwen to purchase raw materials on credit, and the two became familiar with each other.Liu Enzuo is an individual talent, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to display it. Song Ziwen didn't mind making him perfect.

"Full responsibility?" Liu Enzuo was so excited when he heard the words, he gave birth to the impulse of "the scholar dies for his confidant".

"Yes. I will appoint a manpower from Wuhan Industrial Group to cooperate with you, and I will never let go of a worm that is full of private pockets. The military attaches great importance to this matter. Who dares to refuse, you shoot him!"

Song Ziwen encouraged.

With his backing, Liu Enzuo knew what to do.What excites him even more is that Song Ziwen clearly told him that after the rectification, the arsenal will usher in great development opportunities. The government will invest heavily in introducing advanced guns, machine guns, and artillery production lines from military factories such as Mauser and Krupp. , Wuhan Industrial Group's resources will also be tilted toward the arsenal.

After listening to Song Ziwen's plan, Liu Enzuo was already enthusiastic, and he wanted to roll up his sleeves and do it.

"Don't worry! I must make Hanyang a famous brand like Medan!" Liu Enzuo issued a military order.

Medan is a South China weapons production base and one of the largest weapons production locations in Asia. The technology comes from Germany and the United States, with Germany as the main source.In recent years, a large number of arms produced by Nanhua have flowed into China, and Medan's reputation has gradually started.

"I've been to Medan. The industry is developing rapidly. If you have the opportunity to learn from others, it is best to bring back a group of skilled technicians. I will help you."

Song Ziwen smiled.

Since the 1911, the Hanyang Arsenal has lacked a large number of workers and has been basically deserted. Song Ziwen could not help but start the idea of ​​Medan, which is thousands of miles away. With his energy, this is easy to do.

After all, the relationship between the Guangzhou government and South China is there. The two sides are not only economically close, but also politically. The ruling party is the Zhi Gong Party.

During the Northern Expedition, Nanhua gave guns to the army. These were no secrets. When Liu Enzuo heard Song Ziwen's words, his mind came.

After coming out of Song Ziwen's office, Liu Enzuo rushed to Song Weichen without stopping to discuss cooperation matters.

...

The northern expedition army took down Wuhan, and the Hankou concession was panicked. Many foreign friends chose to leave the chaotic place. However, most people felt confident that the Chinese army would not dare to attack the concession and the good lives of foreigners would not be affected.

In fact, this is probably the case. The war ahead is progressing rapidly, the Guangzhou government has not had time to deal with relations with foreign countries, and the Hankou Concession has remained largely unchanged.

Facing the foreign warships coming up from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Second Front Army set up cannons on the banks of the Yangtze River, such as Snake Mountain and Guishan, and pointed their guns at the arrogant foreign warships.

The military airport in Wuhan East Lake dispatches planes to patrol over the Yangtze River every day to track and monitor foreign warships along the Yangtze River Channel.

Occasionally, it will pass over the opponent's head, and shoot at the surface of the warship's advancing channel, causing bursts of spray.The foreign countries on the Yangtze River saw this scene, so it was not dazzling.

Knowing that the Chinese are demonstrating, but also helpless, is it as usual to overturn the Chinese fishing boat to vent their anger?

This thought even the proud British shook their heads. Two years ago, in a naval battle between South China and the Dutch, swarms of planes blew up the Dutch fleet, shocking the whole world, and letting people see the planes against warships. Threatened.Although, there is still a long way to go to replace the artillery.

But in the long and narrow Yangtze River, foreign warships are going to come in boldly, and they have to weigh it carefully so that the Air Force of the Northern Expeditionary Army will not throw bombs on them!
