Norda thought it was a logical cooperation, but a Hollywood consortium was inserted in the middle, how could this not upset him.Looking at Wharton, who has been silent all the time, and Norda, whose face has changed frequently, Chen Wenbao knows that if the two parties have no interest relationship, it will be difficult for this tripartite alliance to succeed.

Chen Wenbao looked at Norda with a smile and said: "In fact, the three parties have a natural basis for cooperation. The Western Special Zone has a huge production capacity, but suffers from the lack of a commercial network for sales, and your family has a rich commercial network, but no real economy. Support. In addition, although the Hollywood consortium seems to be flourishing, it is difficult to resist several old companies in the White Eagle Kingdom."

Looking at Norda whose brows were gradually stretched, Chen Wenbao continued to seduce: "If the products of the Western Special Zone can enter the New World and the Western World, and the Rothschild family helps the Hollywood consortium in the financial market, they will send you Introducing the New World will benefit all three parties. We have a sufficient commercial sales network, the Hollywood consortium has financial support, and the Rothschild family can also enter the New World market and open up new markets.”

Hearing that the Hollywood consortium can help her family enter the financial market of the White Eagle Country, Norda's eyes light up.In the past, the six major consortiums of the White Eagle Kingdom once joined forces to resist the commercial invasion of the Rothschild family, and finally they had to make concessions.But today is different. With the internal support of the Hollywood consortium, it is only a matter of time before the Rothschild family enters the New World.What's more, when the Hollywood consortium is controlling the market of the White Eagle Country, it is also developing countries in the south of the New World. Once the Rothschild family controls a country in the south of the mainland in cooperation with the Hollywood consortium, they will have their own industrial base. .

After some detailed bargaining, the representatives of the three parties finally signed an alliance agreement.This secret agreement, which has not been made public, established the business cooperation framework of the three major groups in the next ten years.This covenant is valid for ten years. During this period, the products produced by the Western District and the various factories of the Hollywood Consortium will be sold by the three parties. Among them, the sales of all products in the Western Continent will be fully responsible for the Rothschild family. The other two parties Guarantee that the selling price of its products is at least 5% lower than that of other countries in the Western Continent.According to the total retail price, the Rothschild family can draw [-]% as their own sales net profit.

Merchandise sales within the New World are solely in charge of the Hollywood consortium, and the preferential conditions are equal to those of the Rothschild family.The Hollywood consortium is obliged to help the Rothschild family's financial power enter the White Eagle Country within half a year. The two parties will implement a joint financial policy in the Western Continent and the New World, and jointly control the financial economies of each country.

The product transportation of each party is carried out by their respective logistics companies, of which the Western District is responsible for 10% of the transportation volume, the Hollywood consortium is responsible for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% of the transportation task is completed by the Rothschild family.The required transportation costs must be reduced by [-]% for similar transportation companies, as a preferential policy for allies.

The Western Special Zone is obliged to increase product shipments at a rate of 10% in the next ten years, and the other two parties must accept these products unconditionally and sell them within the scope of their responsibility.For a large change in the product sales price, it needs to be jointly decided by the three parties after consultation, and cannot be unilaterally changed substantially.The Rothschild family and the Hollywood consortium have only 5% of the power to change product sales prices that they can decide on their own.

This tripartite covenant is the world's first transcontinental business alliance, and it declares the influence of the three parties on the world economy in the future.Although the countries of the Western Continent have implicitly blocked the Western Special Zone in terms of technology and economy, it has not affected the improvement of their national strength.

Although it is a pity that it is not possible to buy advanced products from various countries in the Western Continent, the Western Special Zone can easily sell them to the outside world, but with the help of the cover of the Hollywood consortium, they are sold in the Western Continent under the guise of being made in the White Eagle Country.

Chapter 943 The Counterattack Northern Expeditionary Army

There is no advanced technology that can be researched by itself. Now the Western Special Zone has its own local scientists and a large number of Teutonic scientists, and it is not afraid of any technical barriers at all.As for the countries in the Western Continent, because of the loss of Hualan Country, which is an increasingly large market, the speed of economic revitalization will be slowed down. At the same time, they will be dumped by industrial products in the Western Special Zone, and their future business prospects will be worrying.

It's not that the Rothschild family doesn't know this, but they are stateless and have no loyalty to any country at all.If you have to compare with each other, the Western District, which treats Jews kindly and treats them equally, may be more favorable to them.

Under such circumstances, whether the economies of the countries in the Western Continent recover or not has little to do with the Rothschild family. The weakness of each country makes it easier for them to control their economies. This is a favorable choice for both sides.As for this covenant, there are no regulations on Hualan Nation's physical and financial markets. In fact, it is because the Rothschild family is not optimistic about Hualan Nation's market, which is not yet strong.Although Hualan has more than a quarter of the world's population, the individual's economic strength still needs to be strengthened.Compared with the 6 million people in the Western Continent, the purchasing power of Hualan Country's [-] million people is only about one-sixth of its population.

Zhao Shouhong took advantage of this weakness to make the Rothschild family disdain to carve up the Hualan country market, which ultimately ensured the purity of the domestic financial market and laid a solid foundation for him to control the country in the future.

Zhao Shouhong changed his strategy in time and seized the vanguard position of economic globalization, allowing the economy of the Western Special Zone to take the lead and embrace a larger market.With a large enough sales channel, the various industrial zones under the Western Special Zone began to focus on expanding production and enhancing the country's economic strength. Of course, the focus of increasing production is still the heavy industry system.

With the strong talent base reserved by the Teutonic State, even if it is only borrowed in the past few years, it is enough to support the strong heavy industry system of the Western Special Zone.When these people return to the Teutonic state due to the improvement of the domestic environment, the talents of the Western Special Zone will be able to operate independently.

Zhao Shouhong borrowed a series of schemes, and finally adopted the method of borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and completed the original industrial scale and technological accumulation.After Hualan's local talents grow up in all aspects, there will be no obstacles to the rise of a powerful Hualan country.

The Western Special Zone is focused on economic development and is rushing toward the goal of becoming the world's top power, while the eastern region of Hualan Kingdom is still in a state of war.There has never been such a situation in a country in the world. The whole country was divided into two, and the territory of the Western Special Zone and the Southwest Warlords was calm and there was no war. They just focused on developing the economy.In particular, the economy of the Western Special Zone is already comparable to that of many middle powers in the Western Continent.

But in the eastern part of the country, it is a melee situation where the heroes are divided. The economic construction of various places has completely stagnated, and the warlords attack each other. Even small warlords who are under the same power will attack each other. This is the place Disadvantages of the separation of military and political power and the weakening of the central government.With military and financial power in their hands, no one wants to make themselves stronger. Even warlords who are unwilling to fight are also desperately expanding.Because once you stop expanding yourself, the power of others will surpass yourself, and you will be the one who will be attacked at that time.

In such a situation of mutual wariness and mutual suspicion, they can only fight in order to survive.The flames of war continued to erupt, and the result was that the people were in dire straits.People's lives are precarious, and they don't even know whether their hometown will become a battlefield tomorrow, and whether their lives can be saved until tomorrow.

Under such a difficult environment, more people are encouraged to migrate to the Western District.The population under the rule of each warlord is getting smaller and smaller. Without the population, there will be no taxation, and without the young men who join the army, they will not be able to expand their power.In order to strengthen themselves, they can only attack the neighboring warlords. As a result, the war caused the people to continue to flee, causing a vicious circle.

The Zhili warlords have developed into a system full of small warlords, and the internal attacks have never stopped, which also makes Cao Kun very headache.The internal war made it impossible for him to take sides, otherwise many of his subordinates would be eccentric, but his plan to develop the economy would be out of the question if the war continued.Although it has been a year since the Zhifeng War, the economic development in the immediate territory has not improved much, and now he has even more worrying things.

In mid-April 1923, the well-prepared revolutionary army began a counter-offensive.This time, with the participation of the elites of the Communist Party and the support of a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the Honglian government, Sun Wenhai has a strong army in his hands.In addition, Bliuchel, a famous general of the Red Army, also used the pseudonym Galen, and came to Sun Wenhai as his military adviser.

This time the revolutionary army is bound to win, and the 1 army will be divided into two groups to attack Guangdong City.The main force of the revolutionary army was the original Northern Expeditionary Army, which was originally an elite force controlled by the National Congress Party, and its combat effectiveness was guaranteed.Now that there is a large amount of military assistance from the Red Federation government, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.On the other hand, without foreign aid, Chen Jiongming's power did not grow much at all. Now he can control only more than [-] direct troops.

Facing the superior force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Chen Jiongming could only shrink his forces to defend the safety of Guangdong City.Chen Jiongming's Cantonese army gave up resistance, while the revolutionary army attacked steadily. They set out from Shaoguan and traveled southward along the Beijiang River. In just ten days, they conquered Qingyuan City and knocked on the north gate of Yuezhou City.

Facing the situation of the overwhelming army, Chen Jiongming panicked. He shouted furiously in the headquarters: "This Sun Wenhai really wants to kill everyone. We just disagree with each other. Why should he put me to death?" It is a pity that Chen Jiongming's memory No, he seems to have forgotten that it was he who wanted to put the other party to death.Now that Sun Wenhai came back with his troops to counterattack, it could only be regarded as reciprocity.

In fact, there was something else hidden about the mutiny a few months ago. It was not a selfish act by Chen Jiongming who wanted to become a warlord.Although this man has great ambitions and a strong thirst for power, he can be regarded as a relatively determined revolutionary.

As a leader who has always insisted on being in eastern Guangdong, Chen Jiongming is originally a powerful figure in the National Congress Party with the same name as Sun Wenhai, but the two people have great differences in political views.Chen Jiongming advocated that the eastern part of Guangdong should do a good job of democratic and constitutional government, follow the example of the White Eagle Kingdom and establish a similar federal government, and then gradually move towards the peaceful reunification of the whole country.This proposition has been put forward by many people in history, and it is called federal self-government.

Chapter 944 Attacking Guangdong City

Sun Wenhai disagreed with Chen Jiongming's proposition. He believed that the centralization of power should be strengthened and the whole country should be unified by the Northern Expedition by force.Only in this way can the country have enough cohesion, and it can also attack many hidden careerists, so that after the country is unified, it will save a lot of trouble.

Because of such political differences, the two quarreled many times, and their feud became an open secret within the party.The two sides completely broke up because of an accident. A week before the mutiny, Chen Jiongming's confidant, Deng Keng, the chief of staff of the Guangdong Army who was in charge of the logistics preparations for the Northern Expedition, was suddenly assassinated at Guangjiu Station when he returned from other places. Keng died.

This sudden incident caused a complete break between the two.Sun Wenhai believed that the assassination was what Chen Jiongming said, and he wanted to destroy the logistics supply of the Northern Expedition, but Chen Jiongming accused Sun Wenhai of killing his cronies and confiscating his wings for conspiracy.As a result, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two parties, and the mastermind of the assassination became a headless case, but the relationship between the two could no longer be bridged.

Sun Wenhai showed his cards to Chen Jiongming straightforwardly. He had only two options. One was to lead the army to participate in the Northern Expedition, and the other was to raise 500 million oceans for the Northern Expedition as military expenses.Such conditions made Chen Jiongming intolerable, and he immediately rejected the other party's request. As a result, his official position was dismissed by Sun Wenhai.

Sun Wenhai's reckless actions caused Chen Jiongming's subordinates to hold grudges, and his confidant Ye Ju finally took action.Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Northern Expeditionary Army coming out and the city of Guangdong Province being empty, he personally commanded two main regiments to enter the city of Guangdong Province by night and surrounded the Presidential Palace and Yuexiu Building. Only then did the previous scene happen.

Now that Sun Wenhai was kicked out of Yuezhou City, Chen Jiongming returned to the position, and within three months, the other party counterattacked back.Under such severe circumstances, Chen Jiongming couldn't criticize Ye Ju for his reckless actions. He just frowned, thinking about how to defeat the revolutionary army.

"Overlord, I think we might as well avoid the peak temporarily and retreat the main force to Huizhou first, so as to preserve our strength." Ye Ju suggested.

"Preserve your strength? Save your strength, Guangdong City is lost, do you think the revolutionary army will not continue to attack?" Chen Jiongming got angry when he heard that. Although Ye Ju is a strong general, planning is not his director.

"I think we should teach the revolutionary army a profound lesson in Guangdong City, so that they can't continue to attack, so that they can safely retreat to Huizhou." Li Yibiao, who is better at planning, said.

"Yes, this is the only way to stop the attack of the revolutionary army." Lin Hu's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement immediately.

"We have too few people, how should we resist the revolutionary army?" Ye Ju looked at several people and asked.

Chen Jiongming had gradually calmed down at this time. Hearing what Ye Ju said, he smiled and said, "Compared to the familiarity with Guangdong City, who can compare with us? If we can't fight, we will fight in the streets. It doesn't matter if it's broken, anyway, it can't be given to Sun Wenhai in its entirety."

Chen Jiongming's decisiveness made the other generals gasp. They did not expect that this battle would be so fierce.Regardless of whether it was tragic or not, this was already the only chance for the Cantonese army. If the revolutionary army could not be injured in Cantonese City, they would lose the possibility of continuing to survive.

With Chen Jiongming's decision, many generals of the Cantonese army prepared separately. Instead of digging trenches and fortifications outside the city, they piled up a lot of debris in the city of Guangdong, blocking all roads and making the terrain in the city extremely complicated.Under such circumstances, it is conducive to the operation of the defenders.

When Jiang Ruiyuan led the army to arrive outside the city of Guangdong Province, he was a little dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He originally thought that he would fight with the Guangdong army in a dignified manner outside the city, so he pulled all the cannons of the revolutionary army over.But Jiang Ruiyuan's blood turned into ice at this time. The Cantonese army was hiding in the vast city of Guangdong Province, and the cannons could not be used at all. If they wanted to attack, they could only rely on the flesh and blood of the soldiers.

"Order the vanguard to prepare for the attack." Jiang Ruiyuan issued an order.

"No." The person who stopped him was Zhou Wuhao, the political director. He was a member of the Communist Party. He had studied in Gaul and was the leader of the local party group.After returning to China, he gradually showed his military talents, so he was sent to the army by the Party Central Committee as a representative of the Communist Party.

He also felt very headache about the current situation in Guangdong City, but this did not make him agree with Jiang Ruiyuan's practice of exchanging his life for victory.Looking at Jiang Ruiyuan who was frowning tightly, Zhou Wuhao said in a deep voice: "The life of a revolutionary soldier is precious and cannot be wasted casually. There are tens of thousands of rebels scattered in such a big city. Once the soldiers are thrown into such street fighting, Our casualties will be very high."

Zhou Wuhao's thoughts were also the voices of many generals, and they all nodded in agreement.Jiang Ruiyuan snorted coldly and said: "Soldiers are precious and fast. We must not delay in the city of Guangdong, so that the opponent has time to prepare. The blood of soldiers should be shed on the battlefield, and we should not shrink back because of fear of casualties. We ordered an immediate attack." .”

Jiang Ruiyuan's words were very blunt. It seemed that only a resolute attack would be in line with the temperament of a revolutionary soldier. In fact, Jiang Ruiyuan's move had a political purpose of suppressing the Communist Party.After the Communist Party joined the Northern Expedition, because of the agitation of utopian ideals, it was easily accepted by the soldiers and the people at the bottom.

Jiang Ruiyuan has great personal ambitions. Although he hides it well, he will not watch the Communist Party encroach on the territory of the National Congress. In his view, these are the foundations of his future.Because of this situation, Jiang Ruiyuan deliberately showed his authority whenever he had the opportunity to suppress the prestige of the Communist Party.

Sun Wenhai's alliance with the Red League was only a last resort, and he was also quite resistant to the Communist Party. Otherwise, when the other party proposed cooperation for the first time, he would only be allowed to join the National Congress Party to cooperate within the party.If it hadn't been for Chen Jiongming's rebellion, which almost caused the revolutionary army to lose its base, his attitude would not have changed so quickly.Sun Wenhai turned a blind eye to Jiang Ruiyuan's actions because of his grievances, which also made the other party more and more domineering.

After all, Jiang Ruiyuan was the commander-in-chief of this attack. His statement was so firm that it was difficult for others to continue to refute it. Zhou Wuhao had no choice but to keep silent, but his expression was extremely ugly.

After receiving the order, more than 2 people from the First Army of the Revolutionary Army first dispersed into the city of Guangdong in companies.Without the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers were able to hold the Mosin Nagant rifles with bayonets, ready to shoot at any time.

The streets are full of piles of rubble, and you can't see far at a glance. Behind the layers of yards, there are countless Cantonese soldiers watching.

Chapter 945 Brutal Street Fighting

In complex terrain, large troops cannot advance at all, but will be easily attacked because the target is too large.The revolutionary army that had entered the urban area had to divide its forces again, and each company had already formed a squad and marched along the streets to the urban area.

If it is the West Special Army with rich combat experience, they will definitely tell them that there must be fire cover between the squads, and at the same time, they must send people to occupy the commanding heights, clean up the house little by little, and must not rush in.At the same time, mortar and machine gun fire must occupy the commanding heights and alternately cover the advance.

It's a pity that the Revolutionary Army is not the West Special Army. They don't have rich combat experience and military literacy. All these people can rely on is blood and courage.Two squads of revolutionary troops advanced quickly along both sides of the street. Instead of clearing the houses on both sides of the street, they rushed directly to the center of the city.Their recklessness soon suffered losses, and the enemies hiding on the roofs on both sides suddenly appeared, and they were shot randomly at these people.

Because the enemy was cross-firing from the roofs on both sides, the revolutionary army exposed to the market could not use the street wall to defend, and they were all killed on the spot.When the reinforcements heard the sound and rushed over, they left behind only corpses all over the ground and blood pooled into a stream.
