The wind was biting, the sky was icy and snowy, and in a blink of an eye, it was the winter of the second year.

An Zhirong got his wish, and took the opportunity of Fang Buwei to hold a 100-day banquet for his eldest son and met Chen Xinran.

Chen Xinran, who has become a mother, is a little less heroic and sharp, and a little more graceful and magnificent.

Not out of the way is not surprising.

Even after plucking up the courage for more than half a year, seeing Chen Xinran, An Zhirong still couldn't say a word of neatness.

It wasn't until Chen Xinran put his son Qi (Fang) Changzhi in An Zhirong's arms that An Zhirong came to his senses.

Fang Changzhi, the name of the very plastic rice pass, was given by Fang Shiqi according to the family tree.

The eldest son is 100 days, and he will not feast on guests and friends for nature.

The entire Xu's Restaurant was wrapped, and more than 50 tables were set up.

Originally, there were not so many people, but this year, Situ Meitang advanced the fundraising conference by more than two months, so there were so many guests attending the banquet.

Because in a few days, Fang Buwei will return to Nanyang and officially take over the position of the mountain master of Sihai Hall, and Situ Meitang and Huang Sande, who are elders, will naturally also participate.

Fang Buwei has already decided, after taking over, he will spend another year in Sin Chew, and he will return to China to renew his position.

A wine, drunk from morning to dusk.

The guests attending the banquet were naturally taken care of by the disciples of the auditorium, and Fang Buwei accompanied Situ Meitang and Huang Sande to drink tea and sober up on the second floor.

"I still think it's not a good time to go back to China at this time!" Huang Sande persuaded Fang Bu again.

In the past year, the situation in the country has been unpredictable, giving people a posture that the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

All strata and local warlords in the country have gradually become unable to ignore the central government's strategy of capitulation and retreating step by step against Japan, still less can they bear the chairman's move of not wanting to resist Japan, encroaching on local warlords step by step, and repeatedly provoking civil wars, and local incidents have occurred frequently.

In May, Mr. Hu Hanmin, a veteran of the Kuomintang, a representative of the rightists, and one of the political enemies of the chairman, passed away in Guangzhou.

The biggest backer of the warlords of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Guangzhou, how could the chairman not see that the opportunity had come.

When he sent a representative to mourn, he demanded that Chen Jitang return the military and political powers in Guangzhou to the central authorities.

Chen Jitang decided to strike preemptively, and united with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi of the Gui Army to jointly issue a telegram to establish the Southwest Coalition Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, claiming that he wanted to lead his troops north to resist Japan.

"The shame of the country's humiliation for many years is a chance for the nation to survive."

This is the oath announced by General Chen Jitang at the Liangguang Oath Conference.

Regardless of whether the Central Committee resisted Japan or not, the First and Fourth Group Armies were changed to "National Revolutionary Anti-Japanese Salvation Army" on the spot...... Going north to resist Japan was a national revolutionary war for survival, and it was by no means a struggle for internal rights. ”

This is General Li Zongren's explanation and guarantee to the chairman of the NPC National Committee and to the central government.

At the same time, Taizu and Mr. Zhu issued a declaration of support on behalf of the Red Army.

However, it is a pity that the chairman's strategy of "governing the country as if governing business" has once again worked wonders.

On the orders of the chairman of the NPC National Committee, Ma Chunfeng sent spies to Guangzhou to carry out activities, and with a heavy reward of 20,000 yuan per plane, he rebelled against Huang Guangrui, commander of the Guangdong Air Force.

Overnight, the planes at the Guangzhou military airport flew clean, and all of them defected to Nanjing.

In addition, the chairman also bribed Yu Hanmou, the commander of the First Army, which had the strongest combat strength in the Guangdong army.

Huang Guangrui, commander of the Guangdong Air Force, Chen Zhuolin, chief of staff, and Yu Hanmou, commander of the First Army of the First Group Army, jointly telegraphed against Chen Jitang.

If not a single bullet or a single blow is wasted, the Guangdong army will be completely disintegrated on the spot by the chairman of the committee.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Chen Jitang had no choice but to flee to Hong Kong by boat.

After that, the Central Army pressed the border and tried to unify Guangxi by force, and only after many mediations did the chairman agree to reconcile with the Gui faction.

However, the call and trend of joint resistance against Japan in China did not cease there.

In August, the CCP decided to abandon the title of the Red Army and called for an end to the civil war and a second KMT-CCP cooperation.

The chairman of the committee did not say a word, and personally came to Xi'an to supervise the battle, and his attitude was self-evident.

During the war, the chairman of the committee made a mistake and realized that the Northeast Army and the Red Army had been fighting fake wars for the past six months, and the news of the young marshal's many secret meetings with the top level of the Chinese Communist Party also reached his ears.

Later, the secret service found that among General Yang Hucheng's 17th Army, many communists actually held important positions?

This can be regarded as touching the chairman of the committee.

He began to plan how to remove the young marshal and General Yang Hucheng from military power.

But the plot was not secret, and the rumors leaked in advance.

Warlords everywhere were watching the fire from the other side, hoping that the Northeast Army would better fight with the Central Army, so that they could reap the benefits of the fishermen.

But no one expected that after the news of the dismissal of military power leaked, the chairman of the committee would dare to go to Xi'an and reprimand Zhang Shaomarshal in person......

Huang Sande and Situ Meitang didn't know what was going to happen soon, and thought that there would be a battle between the Central Army and the Northeast Army.

Fang Buwei counted the time.

It's mid-November, and by the time he settles his family, it's early December.

In winter, the ship is slow, and when it comes to the South Seas, it will be at least forty days later.

At that time, the chairman of the committee had escorted the young marshal back to Nanjing, and the Northeast Army would immediately become infighting.

By the time he finished dealing with the affairs of Nanyang, it would be the end of February at the earliest, and the curtain of the Xi'an Incident had already fallen.

It's kind of escaped this catastrophe.

I had to flee, otherwise I would be harmonized if I didn't do it.

"Don't worry, two masters, if the situation does not subside, I will definitely not return to China!" Fang is not a guarantee.

The two old gentlemen nodded.

They were afraid that Fang Bu would run back to join in the fun.

Fang did not want to go back to fight the Japanese, they raised their hands and feet to support, but if they fought a civil war, they were resolutely opposed.

On 2 December, Fang Buwei and his entourage embarked on a journey back home on the oil tanker "Queen" of Mobil Corporation.

Although the environment of a tanker is not as comfortable as that of a cruise ship, it is better to be safe.

The Queen can carry five thousand tons, of which there are two thousand tons of kerosene and one thousand tons of gasoline.

Kerosene and gasoline are ordered by Sin Chew and will be shipped to Shanghai at that time.

Sin Chew is very different from a year ago.

On Leung Tong and Zhi Kung Tong each injected 1 million, each accounting for 15% of the shares.

In addition, Yu Erjun holds 15% of the shares, and the remaining 55% of the shares belong to Fang Buwei.

In China, only Sin Chew is the business of Situ Meitang, Huang Sande and Yu Erjun, and the green light has been given all the way.

Fang Buwei didn't expect that he originally wanted to smuggle, but in the end he became an official comprador.

The goods imported by Sin Chew & Co. are marketed by Four Seas & Co. and shipped to major cities, even if they are only wholesale, the profits are considerable.

Fang Buwei's assets have almost doubled by half in one year.

The more than two million earned will not be used to hoard military supplies.

The most abundant are gasoline and food, medicine and textile products are second, and the least are new ordnance.

It's not that Fang doesn't buy guns because he doesn't want to, it's that the Americans don't sell them to him.

Tensions between China and Japan have become increasingly tense, and Japan has issued warnings to countries not to sell arms to the Nationalist government.

It was also the Germans and the USSR who were too lazy to bird the Japanese, and the aid that should be aided, and what should be sold continued to be sold.

Fang Buwei is trying to find a way to take advantage of the relationship between the German Li and the Ding brothers, the Chinese compradors of the foreign firm, to see if he can smuggle some of them from Germany.

That is, the owner of Nanjing Fuchang Hotel, the largest civilian arms dealer during the Republic of China.

For this reason, he also sent a telegram to Zhao Shirui, so that Zhao Shirui could penetrate Ding Fucheng's tone in advance.
