The journey starts from the Titanic

"Away?" Jiang Weiji asked.

"When I go to Wuhan, the prime minister (He Wenxiu) wants to visit north, and I will go too. Discuss with that side to speed up the mainland's immigration to South China, and let them send troops to join the security operations to make up for the shortage of our army. "Wu Manli explained.

"Speaking of speaking, we can also be regarded as solving the trouble for the mainland. Instead of letting the mainland victims spoil the people in the villages, it is better to organize them in Southeast Asia to compete with the indigenous people for living space." Jiang Weiji nodded.

Wu Manli said to Jiang Wei: "The effective security action is inseparable from the hard work of the officers and soldiers. Therefore, it is also necessary for the officers and soldiers to enjoy the results. In principle, the officers and soldiers are allowed to auction confiscated illegal land at a low price, and the ratio is only one-third. !"

In other words, one-third of the land will be allocated to the participating officers and soldiers at a symbolic low price?

Regarding Wu Manli’s generosity, Jiang Weiji gave a flattering, and Wu Manli gave him responsibility for the matter. Not to mention the rich oil and water in the middle, he can use it as a favor, from white shirt (government servant) to green leather (military) The camouflage uniform is green) and then to the abacus (merchant), how many people can he win over!

Wu Manli was not as excited as Jiang Weiji. After Jiang Weiji left, she murmured to the north: "Song Meiling, Song Meiling, so many years have finally allowed you to succeed. You should be very proud now?"

Chapter 166

Seabirds soar in the sky, in groups, fish swim in the water, all kinds, as well as the luxuriant seabed animals and plants, of all kinds, constitute a rare treasure house of resources.

This is a fleet, with a cruiser leading a destroyer in front, with the South China Navy flag in yellow and blue hanging on it, and behind them is a large cruise ship with the South China flag flying on it.

There was also a destroyer following the cruise ship.

When passing several fishing boats, the fishermen above saw the warship passing by with a solemn expression on their faces.Fishing in the international waters of the South China Sea not only has to face the risks of sea storms, but may also be molested by warships of other countries.

In case of encountering some wicked guys, the situation will be very unlucky.

The yellow and blue flags fluttered in the wind, and the fishermen were relieved and felt cordial.In the South China Sea, in the eyes of Chinese fishermen, they saw their own national flag when they saw the yellow and blue flag.

The escort fleet composed of a cruiser and two destroyers looks a bit shabby, and it is also a relatively easy possession of the South China Navy. What is rare is that these warships are all made by South China.

Following the escort fleet were seven or eight ships, with tonnage ranging from 20,000 to 3,000 to 4,000 tons, of various sizes. There were ships carrying passengers and cargo northward from several major ports in South China, such as Tangshan Port, Palembang, and Surabaya. There are also European merchant ships coming from the Strait of Malacca.

The two largest ships have a tonnage of more than 20,000 tons. One is a tanker from Palembang, which is loaded with gasoline and diesel produced by the Palembang refinery. The other is also from Sumatra, but it is not oil, but Sumatra. A coal mine produced on the island.

Meihua Mining Company imports a large amount of oil and minerals and other commodities from overseas every year to supply the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta industrial zones where resources are scarce. Therefore, it is not surprising to see Meihua's oil tankers and ore carriers in the South China Sea.

Wu Manli stood on the deck for a while.It was refreshing and refreshing. From time to time, her eyes fell on the face of the little boy who was sketching next to her. Seeing his concentration, her eyes were very gentle and loving.

"Xiao Nan's portrait is decent!" He Wenxiu walked over and looked at Wu Sinan's paintings.Said with a smile.There were several people behind him, all of them accompanying people.

Wu Manli greeted her with a smile, touched her son's head, and said with some pride: "He is a little talented in this aspect, but painting can't be eaten as a meal. It is enough to have a leisure time. The mind has to be put on study. "

"You, the children are too strict." He Wenxiu shook his head, Wu Manxiu did not answer, and he didn't want to talk about this topic. He Wenxiu couldn't say anything.

"Is Yongxing Island ahead?" He Wenxiu pointed to an island not far away, feeling excited when he met the land.

The island is relatively desolate, with a few makeshift thatched houses looming, and there are not many people, but there are more birds.Flying around on it, it's so lively.

"Yes! It's Yongxing Island, the largest island in the South China Sea." Jiang Weiji took the opportunity to answer.

"Oh? You know well! Tell me?" He Wenxiu looked back at Jiang Weiji, who had made outstanding achievements recently, and asked with a smile.

"The humble post went north and south several times. I passed this small island and I heard others talk about it, so I remember it. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to go up and see."

Jiang Weiji said modestly, "But I know a little about the island. There are no people on the island and there are birds on it. Over time, there is a lot of bird droppings on the island, and Japanese merchants sneak up to collect bird droppings.

Later, the Southern Star Shipping Company learned of this situation and drove the Japanese away.Organize workers to go to the island to collect bird droppings and transport them back to China.The business is not small, my new manor uses bird droppings to fatten the fields."

South China's economic plantation industry is developed, and the Chinese are keen to manage land. People like Jiang Weiji who are keen on official careers are no exception. Besides, the Chinese cultivated manors while plundering land from the indigenous people.Stimulate the fertilizer market.

Meihua Chemical Company's vigorous construction of a fertilizer plant is a solution, but businessmen lacking strength but with a keen sense of smell focused on the island guano. The Southern Star Shipping Company was just at the right time, and Yongxing Island was just on the route of the Southern Star Shipping Company. on.

"Nanxing Shipping Company has reported several times to do something on the South China Sea route, build lighthouses, build navigation marks and so on, but the South my country Sea is not our territory. To develop the South China Sea, we still have to discuss with Wuhan."

He Wenxiu said.

"Song Ziwen wants to carry out financial reforms, tax rectification, and currency issuance. We cannot do without our support. They can't develop the South China Sea. The Paracel Islands are all in the hands of the French. Why should we be more enthusiastic?"

Wu Manli channeled herself.

"That said, after all, we brought big gifts this time. They begged us more than we begged them."

He Wenxiu smiled.

Looking back at the entourage around him, He Wenxiu whispered to Wu Manli: "You have to be optimistic about what you ship on board, and you must keep it confidential."

"No problem, I personally went to the cabin to check, and arranged people inside and out."

Wu Manli nodded.

"That's good."

The island of Sumatra is also called the Golden Island. It is rich in gold. This time, there was a large amount of gold secretly transported from South China to China in the northbound visit fleet, reaching 100 tons!

In order to support the currency reform in Wuhan, Nanhua has done a lot of blood, which is why He Wenxiu said he brought a big gift.

The fleet went northward and encountered many foreign warships, including the British Far East Fleet and Japanese warships. Fortunately, no accident occurred.Arriving in Hainan, the South China Sea Fleet in Guangzhou Bay, opposite Hainan Island, sent a warship to greet them and escorted them all the way to Guangzhou Nansha Port.

With so much gold on board, in order to avoid passing through the Taiwan Strait, the gold was secretly loaded on the railway in Nansha Port and sent to Wuhan by the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway.

Foreign Minister Wu Chaoshu, who succeeded Song Meiling, greeted South China Premier He Wenxiu and his party in Guangzhou, and accompanied them on the luxury train going north.

Song Ziwen has always been uneasy. He was ecstatic when he learned that the gold had come ashore. He was happy alone in the office.

He Wenxiu walked out of Wuchang Station, looked around, nodded, and said to Wu Manli: "This station is bigger than Tangshan Station."

"China has a vast land and abundant resources and a large population. Meihua's investment in China Railway Corporation is ten times that of Java Railway, and Wuchang Station is the core hub of China's railway network. It should be larger than Tangshan Station."

Wu Manli said with envy.

Remind He Wenxiu that the southern railway network was a billion-dollar super project. Today's Wuhan railway is large enough to scare the founder Zhang Zhidong out of the ground.

"Yes, the mainland of the motherland is not comparable to South China. But we also have our strengths. We have no historical baggage and are rich in resources. We can plan our development arbitrarily. Our shipping is advanced, and the shipbuilding industry is also more advanced than here."

He Wenxiu said.

He didn't wait for He Wenxiu to come over.Song Ziwen, Lin Yimin and others took the initiative to step forward.To some extent, the people from South China are not like national leaders, but "colleagues" of Meihua.

The two sides not only know each other, but are also relatively familiar, and have a close relationship that is difficult to understand.

Both He Wenxiu and Wu Manli are relatives of Song Ziwen. The South China Transport Minister Huang Zhonghan and Lin Yimin, who came with He Wenxiu, are sons-in-law, and Lin Yimin and Situ Nan are masters, servants, friends and partners—these people are in the same group.

"Premier He, I finally looked forward to you. When you arrive in Wuhan, you must entertain the friends from Nanhua."

Song Ziwen enthusiastically took He Wenxiu's hand.

"I haven't seen him for many years. Ziwen is still impatient and hasn't changed at all. I call you Ziwen, you can call me Brother He directly." He Wenxiu smiled.

Song Ziwen smiled and nodded in response.
