New Warlords 1909

As early as after receiving Jiang Fangzhen and the two, he hurried to Shanghai by train.There are thousands of selected overseas students waiting for him to see him off!

On the train, there is still no moment of leisure.Li Liejun of Jiangxi has occupied most of the area. Although he has not been recognized by the Beiyang government, he has actually occupied Jiangxi.He just sent a telegram, hoping that Hua Fei could help him with another batch of weapons.Of course, this assistance is not free.After attacking Pingxiang, he will use Pingxiang's coal mines and other mineral resources as a payment method.

Hua Fei immediately called back and promised that, anyway, there were a lot of guns seized in previous battles, plus the inventories of various arsenals.Most of these non-standard guns are used by Hua Fei for training or as a storage for combat preparations. If they can be sold, it is of course a good idea.As for the artillery, mortars, light and heavy machine guns and other new weapons on Li Liejun's list of weapons, they were declined by Hua Fei because the National Defense Forces did not have enough equipment and could not provide them.He is not willing to sell advanced weapons by himself, because the opponent's army repeats again and again, thus attacking him.This kind of thing was extremely common in the era of warlord melee!

As if it was an appointment, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou, Sichuan and other provinces also sent telegrams one after another, hoping to purchase a batch of arms.Hua Fei's army won battles one after another, and the weapons they used were deified, and they were highly respected by soldiers from all provinces!Hua Fei is still the same, only selling a small number of new guns and light machine guns, most of them are still half-new guns that have been repaired from seized stocks and repair shops!

As for the subsequent requests from the Beiyang government and other provinces to purchase aircraft, Hua Fei was stunned for a long time!In the end, [-] simplified Pioneer [-]s were sold to the central government, which can only be used as reconnaissance planes or carry a few grenades.Because even if you don't sell planes to them, they will find foreigners to order.

As for the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, Hua Fei also agreed to sell them, but first they have to help them train pilots!Otherwise, if you buy the plane back, you can't put it somewhere as a decoration!

Regarding women's participation in the army, I would like to add that the feminist movement had already begun at that time, please refer to the relevant deeds of the Women's Political Alliance and Shen Peizhen!Regarding the female general, there seem to be quite a few in my impression~

156 Overseas Students and the Great Ship

While Hua Fei was responding to various forces in various provinces, he was still receiving telegrams from Nan]}!After the establishment of the self-government, many properties including Pacific Bank, Galaxy Investment, Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant, Wuhu Cement Plant, Pterosaur Aircraft Factory, Jiangnan and other factories, etc., all need to verify the property rights!Including the construction bonds that Hua Fei raised before, should it be his personal or the self-government's?The profit from the previous economic blocking war, the source of Huafei's funds?Most of the factories have Huafei's funds injected into the expansion, what is the proportion of the investment, how to verify the nature of the funds for the expansion, etc.?Incomparably complex and tangled!

Regarding this, Hua Fei just handed over these matters to some elders of the Hua family, and even Steward Liu rushed over from Hefei.For financial accounting, some accountants were mobilized from banks in Shanghai.Hua Fei believes that entrusting this task to them will definitely not let him suffer!So every time the detailed discussion results come out, I send a telegram to Hua Fei. If Hua Fei thinks it is okay, he will call back to agree, and if he thinks it is not good, he will call back and let them continue the negotiation!

This is not because Hua Fei is greedy, but because once the finances are under the supervision of the self-government, even if Hua trusts the financial secretary, many financial transfers will be a lot of trouble.And including investment in military expansion, and even some future ideas, if you want to rely on financial appropriations, you will obviously be hampered.Therefore, Hua Fei must maximize the autonomy of the economy in order to implement his "Golden Mountain Plan" more efficiently.

Several large passenger ships of more than 4000 tons are parked at the berths at Wusong Wharf in Shanghai.There was a sea of ​​people in front of the pier, full of young students, carrying backpacks and suitcases, all waiting in line.Among them, the oldest is 23 or [-] years old, and the youngest is only [-] or [-] years old.

Those who saw them off included unfamiliar citizens, reporters who kept filming with flashlights, and their parents and relatives.From time to time, the sound of mothers burying their tears could be heard in the crowd, but the students' stubborn upturned lips and simple eyes still gave this group of young people a spirit that was completely different from the times.

More citizens heard that Commander Hua was going to see off the students studying abroad, and rushed to the pier one after another to watch the grand occasion!On the streets of Shanghai after the rain, there are still many muddy water in the depressions.The rickshaw drivers galloped by, even if the muddy water soaked their shoes and pants, they didn't care.

Lu Kaijin, who was wandering the streets and thinking hard, was frowning. Although he came to Shanghai this time, with his courage and luck, he fully turned the principal of 10 yuan to nearly 30 yuan.But then the problem came, all these earned silver dollars, including his principal, if they leave the country, they need to collect some kind of gold and silver exit tax, which is a total of 3 yuan in silver dollars. When Lu Kaijin thought of this figure, his heart ached.

But if you don't pay taxes, you can't run back with a lot of banknotes.Zhejiang is different from the autonomous region. Although some merchants are willing to accept such highly reputable banknotes, most people still think that silver coins are more real.And if you asked Lu Kaijin to put all his property in the Bank of Shanghai, he was also worried!

While he was in distress, a bicycle flashed past him.The muddy water splashed on the road splashed all over Lu Kaijin's face.Just when he was about to curse, the foreigner on the bicycle let out a mocking whistle.

"Foreign devil, what kind of arrogance do you want to show off in front of me by riding a broken car? Another day when I buy a car, I will compare you! Mom, the water is so icy!" Lu Kaijin cursed resentfully. I want to see that I have suffered a lot from foreign devils on weekdays.

"No, I really can't swallow this tone! What's so great about a broken foreign car? Not only do I need foreign cars, but also many, many more, all made by myself! When the time comes, let Amao and Amu be alone. Ride one and bet on speed with foreign devils!"

Lu Kaijin is such a prodigal son.My head is hot.That is to do whatever you want.I don't care about the consequences.It doesn't matter how much it costs.I've seen him a little bit in the market.I know that there is not a bicycle factory in Shanghai or even in China.Then he built the first bicycle factory.Not only can you get tax incentives from the autonomous government.This reputation is unique.Thinking about it also made him excited.

The more Lu Kaijin thought about it, the more he couldn't help himself.Especially thinking about those tax breaks.It's like he got a big deal.Get started now.

Lv Kaijin's family used to run many new-style factories.He also learned relevant knowledge in the new school.It's a pity that all factories are in his oblivion.They closed down one after another.Although Lu Kaijin is not good at learning.And mostly forgotten.But after all, he is not a layman.

What can 30 silver dollars do?Lu Kaijin is not too clear.

But he won't put all his principal into it.Secondly, it is said that the great businessman Lu Bohong set up a steel factory in Pudong.It only invested about 20 yuan.Later, Galaxy invested 30 yuan.It just expanded in size.So Lu Kaijin believed it.His money should be able to do many things.

So he immediately went to Dongfang Machine Tool Factory to order a batch of lathes.bed.planer.drill press.bed.motor.Kerosene gas engine.Anyway, he thinks that a machine may be needed.All placed orders.

Then he went to various iron factories and ordered a batch of steel and iron pipes that might be needed.It is said that a Nanyang rubber factory has just started construction. Anyway, there is no shadow of his own bicycle factory, so Lu Kaijin found Nanyang Rubber Factory again, and ordered a batch of rubber tires under the surprised expression of the factory owner.

Just as Lu Kaijin was running around, beep beep!A burst of car horns reached the ears of the crowd waiting on Wu Pier.All eyes turned to the direction of the sound, and saw a group of new Ford cars coming quickly, and it was Hua Fei who had just got off the train and rushed over.

As soon as the car stopped, more than 15 guards immediately jumped from the dozens of 100-ton trucks behind the convoy and quickly took the guard position.With the opening of the car door, the swarming reporters even shone their lights with almost no gaps.

"Today's protagonists are those young people who are about to go to war. You have put the camera's focus on me, and you are putting the cart before the horse!"

Hua Fei's words just after getting out of the car made many reporters laugh, and also reduced the flickering frequency of the camera a lot.Hua Fei nodded gratefully to everyone, and then strode towards the students waiting on the pier!

"Students, the future heroes of the country, I apologize to you for making everyone wait here for a long time, please don't blame me in your heart!"

Hua Fei's words about the country's future heroes immediately straightened the chests of many passionate young people.As for complaining, who dares to have it?Who can have it?It would be worth it to get the Hua Commander to see him off in person, even if it was dark!

"I'm going to explain to everyone why I'm late, because just as I'm about to

At that time, Mr. Jiang Fangzhen, the former principal of Baoding Military Academy, and Mr. Zhang Xiaozhun, the former head of the left-behind government, came to visit.The two gentlemen are idols revered by someone in Hua, and I am here to tell you the reason for this! "

The reporters who had heard the news snapped again, but when they heard that Hua Fei was going to reveal some secrets, the noisy voices at the scene suddenly quieted down.

"Back then, Mr. Jiang Fangzhen, Mr. Cai E, and Mr. Zhang Xiaozhun were studying at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. In the graduation examination, the three of them actually occupied the top three rankings! The headmaster of the army school at that time saw that this was not good. The top three were all rejected. The Chinese took it, how embarrassing and humiliating they are for Japan! So our Mr. Zhang Xiaozhun had to be ranked No.5!"

"Haha..." The reporters and students at the scene were immediately amused by Hua Fei's regretful tone and helpless demeanor, and they never thought that there was such a wonderful story in it!It sounds ambitious and refreshing!

"Shortly after that, the Japanese government issued a decree prohibiting Japanese military academies from recruiting students from China to train officers for China! Why is this? Let me tell you, it is because of fear, because of cowardice, and because some people are afraid We are awakened because someone is worried that we are strong!"

"Many years ago, Napoleon of France said that there is a lion sleeping in the far east. Don't wake him up, because once he wakes up, he will shake the whole world! We are not lions, we are descendants of the sacred dragon, Our blood runs through the inheritance of Yanhuang, our great country is testing our wisdom, our countless proud ancestors are watching how their descendants will create a new glory!"

Hua Fei shouted passionately, shaking everyone's eardrums and heartstrings.The students off the field went from excitement at the beginning, to relaxation and joy later, to burning and boiling at this moment.Chests began to rise and fall at an accelerated rate, and steaming hot air was exhaled from their noses, thick and thick.

"The great and beautiful country under our feet is just sick! We will take on the mission of doctors to heal her, care for her, and strengthen her! I told myself that I can do it, and I believe you can do it too! Because , we are all great, descendants of the divine dragon!"

"Students, believe me. One day, you will be proud and proud because you are Chinese. One day, our children and grandchildren will feel extremely honored and glorious because of us."

"I hope you can follow the example of Mr. Jiang Fangzhen, Mr. Cai E, and Mr. Zhang Xiaozhun. This is your goal of studying abroad! I not only hope that you can occupy the top three in each major, but I also hope that you can occupy the top five in various disciplines , the top ten. We want foreigners to understand that the overseas students sent by someone from Hua are all Chinese elites and descendants of the sacred dragon! I hope you will not forget your mission, and I hope you will always remember , be proud of this great country!"

"Suffering will eventually pass, and backwardness is the driving force for us to move forward! When you encounter setbacks and failures, I hope you will remember my words. Compared with the setbacks and failures of our country, personal difficulties are insignificant! You have to rise up, Because you are the hope of this country and nation!"

"I look forward to your return, and I promise you that when you come back, I will personally welcome you here! At that time, use the knowledge you have learned to jointly build our new country and a new future!"

"Listen to my password now, ask for everything, turn right, get on board!"

There are nearly 5000 international students in the phalanx, and they were selected after more than half a year!Among them, almost all the boy scouts who were over 12 years old were sent out!While waiting, these men received basic military training.At this moment, they lined up to board the boat, except for the sound of footsteps and rapid breathing, there was no sound.It's a shocking silence, an energy that feels like a pre-volcanic slosh.

Seeing the students all boarding the boat, the parents who came to see them off forgot to cry.No one could be seen on the side of the passenger ship.Everyone spontaneously got into their room and sat on the bed without saying a word.They are suppressing their emotions, they are worried that when they go out and see the parting people and their homeland, they will not be able to hold back their tears.

Commander Hua will definitely not like them crying, how can someone who is about to shoulder a great mission be so fragile?How can a dignified Chinese man cry softly!

They didn't see that many of the people seeing off on the pier shed tears silently.Hua Fei stood by the seaside, watching the black smoke rising from the distant passenger ship, and remained motionless for a long time.He didn't know whether he was moved by his speech or by this group of students. His eye sockets were itchy, and he almost couldn't control the liquid secreted by his tear glands.

"Kids, come on, you are the hope of our country!" Hua Fei said silently in his heart.

Not long after the passenger ship left, several large ships came with black smoke.After observing, Wang Meng quickly reported that the Germans might be carrying relevant machinery, equipment and personnel for oil exploration and refining.He also reminded Hua Fei that according to the planned itinerary for the next few days, he should go to the Jiangnan Factory Armory and Shipyard, and then to attend the opening ceremony of Hexing Iron and Steel Factory, the new ship contract signing ceremony of Qiuxin Shipyard, etc.And a week later, I participated in the National Chamber of Commerce Conference to discuss various issues and reforms such as commercial laws and tax laws.

In less than a month after Hua Fei went to Nanjing, there were several pieces of good news.One is that with the hard work of the technical research team headed by Yang Keguan, the portable mortar that Hua Fei hand-painted was finally produced.

This makes the portability and stability more perfect, adding a buffer period to the gun body and the gun mount, which solves the problem of the rigid connection of the mortar barrel in battle.And successfully completely localized mortar shells, not only can produce high-explosive shells, but also produce smoke bombs and illumination bombs fired by mortars.

In addition, Yang Keguan's technical team also improved the Lewis machine gun, changing the double barrel to a single barrel, and some other mechanical parts were also improved.Not only makes the gun lighter, but the rate of fire and accuracy have also been slightly improved.The key is to become more suitable for loading on the plane.

After hearing the news, Louis went to the Jiangnan factory many times to accuse Yang Keguan and the others of infringement, and threatened to sue Huafei.When he learned that the Jiangnan factory would never sell or export such modified machine guns, Louis barely calmed down and rushed back to speed up his own improvement design plan.

Another good news is that a freighter with a displacement of more than 6000 tons has been launched at the Jiangnan Shipyard and will soon be put into operation.and

The aided submarine shipyard has been built, and several technicians from T3T]) have arrived and are discussing the design and production of the submarine with the technicians of the shipyard.

Moreover, Kaiser Wilhelm II seems to be very satisfied with this strategic partnership agreement. Not only did he sell a U-19 submarine to Hua Fei, but he also gave a U-31 submarine produced by the Germania shipyard as a gift to people from far away. Commander friend.Hua Fei was overjoyed after receiving this gift, and immediately called back to express his gratitude, and attached a batch of exquisite porcelain and famous tea as a thank you gift.

As early as a few years ago, Jiangnan Shipyard built the "Jianghua" Yangtze River passenger and cargo ship with a displacement of more than 100 tons.Since Huafei began to expand and renovate the Jiangnan Shipyard, while improving the existing shipyard slipway, it has built a larger shipyard slipway of tens of thousands of tons or even over [-] tons.
