The journey starts from the Titanic

Why don't you be as exciting as the shelling?Well, when I came here, Yankees used drones to perform precision strikes.

For people in this era, the scene of the plane bombing just now was indeed a bit shocking, even Xue Yue was no exception.

"I said tiger boy, don't you need it? We fought the Dutchman, didn't the planes also make the Dutch navy lose? The scene is much bigger than today, right?"

Situ Nanbai glanced at Xue Yue, as if saying, "Don't be too weird."

"That's true. It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes back then? I always listened to those in the Air Force, and I felt a little skeptical."

Xue Yue smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the important position of aircraft in the flying war. Some understand why the air force should be read from the army." This time, his face became more serious.

Situ Nan just nodded in relief, thinking of something, and quietly asked Xue Yue: "If the plane can't blow up that bad ship, should the submarine take action in the end?"

"Huh? How did you know?" Xue Yue looked at Situ Nan in surprise and realized that this was a secret in the military.

"Nonsense, the submarine base is on Chongming Island. I have been to see it." Situ Nan lowered his voice, "A Wusong fortress alone is not enough. The fortifications on Chongming Island will also be stepped up."

"Yeah!" Xue Yue nodded and said in his heart: The big boss in front of him, don't look at him without officials and jobs, who would dare not have an unimaginable influence in the military and political circles?

Soong Meiling didn't know if she was affected by the shelling, her face was a little pale and she was not in good spirits.

Even on such a showy occasion today, she was very quiet, staying next to Situ Nan, very virtuous, really rare.Situ Nan wanted to go to Baoshan to inspect it, which was the location of Baosteel in the previous life, but seeing Song Meiling uncomfortable, his mind was also weakened.

"By the way, Baoshan is a piece of land, which is useful to me. You two will cooperate to clean it up." Before leaving, Situ Nan told Xue Yue and Wang Yaqiao.

"It's about building a port and an industrial zone." Wang Yaqiao is also one of the insiders of Shanghai's construction plan.

Seeing Xue Yue a little puzzled, Wang Yaqiao explained, “Shanghai Old Port is a river port after all, with limited throughput. If you want to develop, you have to jump out of the Huangpu River to Wusongkou. In this way, Shanghai Port will face the Pacific Ocean directly, and goods will enter and exit. It’s more convenient. It’s not that there is news in the market that Guangzhou Nansha Port has surpassed Shanghai Port."

"Really?" Xue Yue said, with some surprise on his face, "I didn't expect Guangzhou to surpass Shanghai?" He said, looking at Situ Nan with expectation.

"The total amount is not enough, but if Shanghai Port is nestled in the Huangpu River, not to mention Guangzhou, even Nantong on the north bank of Shanghai may exceed it. This is something I don't want to see, so it is necessary to start the big Shanghai construction plan."

Situ Nan said lightly, mentioning Guangzhou, he was a little proud.It was under their own guidance that when the US-China Consortium and the Zhi Gong Party government planned the development of Guangzhou that year, they skipped the old city of Guangzhou and set their sights on the Nansha Port at the mouth of the Pearl River to gain more room for development.

As the land of Longxing, Guangzhou, especially the Nansha Industrial Zone, has already surpassed Shanghai in industrial scale, second only to the capital Wuhan where Hanyang Iron Works is located.

After the first phase of the project, the cargo throughput of Nansha Port will reach 3 million tons. Although it is not as large as that of Shanghai Port, which is close to 10 million tons, it is considered that Nansha Port is dominated by bulk cargo such as minerals, rubber, steel, and machinery. The significance is more important, because the port serves many industrial entities such as Nansha Iron and Steel Plant, Longxue Shipyard, Meihua Cement Plant, and Meihua Machinery Company (Nansha).

Coupled with Huangpu Port, the old port of Guangzhou, the cargo throughput of Guangzhou Port is not much less than that of Shanghai Port.

Unlike some people, Meihua just builds factories in nests where birds don’t shit in order to fight wars, and let the coastal residents farm well?As a result, many peasants can't get enough food, and risk their lives to swim across Hong Kong across Shenzhen.

Situ Nan's mind jumped out of some previous life thoughts unpreparedly. He often thought about it, and then went off the topic. He touched his forehead and secretly warned himself to be more tolerant towards history and try not to make strategic mistakes.

"Guangzhou is not like Shanghai and there are concessions. Some things can be concealed. When the official data is released, there are also surnames. There are British people in Hong Kong. They estimate that they know a lot about Nansha, only the industrial and mining enterprises controlled by the US-China Consortium. The value of goods entering and leaving via Guangzhou Port reaches 400 million yuan, which is half that of Shanghai Port. Although Guangzhou Customs is strictly controlled by the Zhi Gong Party government, it is impossible to hide from the British."

Situ Nan thought to himself that Guangzhou is thousands of miles away. I am in Shanghai at this moment. I don't want to irritate the important Shanghai officials such as Wang Yaqiao and Xue Yue, so I will keep the words in my heart because Shanghai has a better future!

"Shanghai is the most important city in China, and it is also the most chaotic. I hope that Shanghai will be cleaner before it is completely reclaimed. In addition to launching fires at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the garbage on the market should also be cleaned up to create a good investment environment. Otherwise, people think that Shanghai is always the magic capital that thrives on opium and porn!"

Situ Nan ordered Xue Yue and others to speak solemnly, which made everyone's heart startled.

Xue Yue nodded and turned to Wang Yaqiao.How to clean up a place, the spy chief Wang Yaqiao is more experienced than the army.

"Don't look at me, I'm going to leave a good opportunity like Liwei to my next post, but it is Head Wang, there are many people in Shanghai who don't know you?"

Wang Yaqiao turned his face to Wang Geng who was aside. He smiled kindly, wore small glasses, and looked like a teacher, but the gangsters in Shanghai were afraid of him.

Wang Geng nodded.

Sun Liren looked at Wang Yaqiao quietly, and felt that this gentle dwarf smile was a bit fake, and he thought: Wang Axe said this on his mouth. Who knows if this cruel fellow will surprise Shanghai residents before he resigns?

When I went back, Situ Nan finally got on the first railway-Wusong Railway, which is already a railway decades ago. Compared with the newly completed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway or other newly built railways, the Wusong Railway looks simple and thin. ,behind.

"Like a country woman with her feet bound, she has to dress well to be worthy of the new Shanghai." Situ Nan teased Zhang Jingjiang.

Zhang Jingjiang nodded. The Wusong Railway will connect the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway and the Shanghai-Han Railway in the future, and it will connect with Shanghai Xingang to realize land-sea combined transportation. It is of great significance. Of course, the small railway left over from the Qing Dynasty must be renovated. , So he followed up: "It is necessary to reform."

Situ Nan was a little dissatisfied, and said: "It's not enough to rebuild it. It's better to add a double-track railway, build it according to heavy rail standards, and transport goods exclusively."

"Yes." Zhang Jingjiang readily agreed, smiling to Situ Nan, "However, you can guarantee me the funds."

"Don't worry! Meihua has already contacted the international consortium, and China's railway bonds will soon be listed in New York and London."

Situ Nan believed himself.

His words aroused great interest from Zhang Jingjiang. When the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway was built, Zhang Jingjiang and others cooperated with American Chinese Bank and listed on the Shanghai American Chinese Stock Exchange. They succeeded, but they have not yet cooperated with international consortia in New York and London. Degree.

"Oh... tell me..."

"..."

In the car not far from Situ Nan's car, Sun Liren found Wang Geng: "You can't be sloppy this time! Maybe some people don't have eyesight and annoy the big boss." Sun Liren said, nodding the direction of Situ Nan's car. .

When Wang Geng saw that Sun Liren looked serious, he was not going to the south, and he had to ask the junior Sun Liren about some things. He curiously asked: "How to say?"

"...Perhaps there are not enough people to build the railway, and it is impossible to find a batch of free labor. In short, there will be fewer opium dealers, smokers, and gangsters in Shanghai. To what extent it depends on your tax police and the city government. . Our military is just helping."

Sun Liren explained.

"Ah..." Wang Geng opened his mouth. When he went south, he had also heard that the government's governance was becoming stricter and stricter. Those who dared to commit crimes were taken to the construction site, so the local prison was empty, saving a lot of money. Prison meal.

"Wang Axe is tough on the political tactics of the underworld. Although he is too far away from the concession, the Chinese community has been subdued by him. However, the big boss is still not satisfied. It is estimated that some big fish will be moved this time." Sun Liren analyzed. Tao.

Wang Hutou refers to Wang Yaqiao. The Hutou Gang achieved a successful transformation under his control and established several large-scale trading, transportation and engineering companies. Sex, gambling, and drugs were basically not involved, but they gave other gangs opportunities.

"But this is Shanghai! It's not the mainland. If it causes a diplomatic conflict, it will be troublesome." Wang Geng said with some worry when he saw Sun Liren's solemnity.

"You weren't allowed to enter the concession to catch people, but those bastards of the Qing Gang left the concession. We still have a handle?" Sun Liren smiled.

"Wuhan is very dissatisfied with the Shanghai silver smuggling, and it hates the Shanghai opium trade. The land smuggling route has been cut off by us, and now we are left with the sea. Maybe this is a test for you and the tax police. Otherwise, the Tax Police Corps can maintain the structure of the Yangtze River Anti-smuggling Fleet?"

"Moving a foreign merchant ship?" Wang Geng asked with a serious face. He didn't expect Situ Nan's understatement to make him so difficult.This is a big deal.

"The powers are not monolithic. As you saw in today's exercise, the government quickly asked the concession to strengthen our participation in the management of the concession... After all, Shanghai is China! I would rather do it with them in Wusongkou. Field, if that must be the case."

Sun Liren categorically cut the railway.

His self-confidence seemed to have infected Wang Geng. Wang Geng didn't expect Sun Liren, his junior, to have such courage. The scene of Wu Songkou's deafening and deafening of the Chinese artillery immediately appeared in his mind.

Chapter 112 New Politician Yang Yongtai

The news of the Chinese military's military exercise at Wusongkou spread in Shanghai less than one morning, and then spread across the country.

When Situ Nan got off the train, he heard the newsboy’s "extra-number" screaming, "Our army is conducting drills at Wusong Port to build the Great Wall on the sea with giant artillery."

It attracted the attention of tourists, and people rushed to buy it under curiosity. The excitement of the people in the heart of the people was revealed in the sound of the discussion.
