The Japanese Navy also did not seem to have any real intention of going to war. The Japanese naval formation drove around the Chinese Navy, and the Chinese naval soldiers were even able to hear the loud laughter of the Japanese naval soldiers on the deck. The Chinese navy is angry at this, but it is powerless to do anything.

Feng Delin's face was gloomy and could drip water. But Feng Delin is a person who does big things after all, and he knows the truth that if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan. When the Japanese navy was gone, the Chinese navy finally set sail again. It's just that this time the atmosphere of the entire Chinese naval formation is much duller. Little Japan's provocation is like a mountain weighing on everyone's hearts.

Seeing this, Feng Delin gathered all the members of the delegation.

"You've all seen what you just saw! Why is the Japanese Navy so arrogant to us, but we are powerless to fight back? In the final analysis, China's national strength is too weak. Although our Chinese Navy has heavy cruisers, there is still a big gap between them and Japanese battleships. Moreover, we in China lack an industrial base, and the naval warships do not even have the ability to produce independently. Even though we defeated the Japanese Army on land, the Japanese Navy was still extremely arrogant towards us. The reason why we went to the West on such a large scale this time, in addition to attending the Paris Peace Conference, was to import Western industrial technology and equipment on a large scale. We in China are backward, and we have to admit that we don't have advanced industrial technology from the West, but we can learn from it and spend money to buy it. One day, we in China will also have our own industrial base. You are all experts in various fields, and I hope that you will do your best to learn and purchase the advanced industrial technology of the West during this trip to the West. This is the most important opportunity for our Chinese rise! Feng Delin said with a solemn expression.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded, and they were much more cautious about this trip.

The arrival of the Chinese Navy in the Strait of Malacca caused onlookers from the locals, mainly because China's golden dragon flag was too special. In Malacca, a place developed by seafaring, there are many Chinese living here, some of whom came here a few years ago for a living, and some of whom arrived more than ten years ago. Even many Chinese were born and raised here. For them, China is a distant place. After the founding of the Republic of China, overseas Chinese used to rejoice and believe that China was finally about to get rid of the fate of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. But the reality is cruel, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang government has not realized the dream of freedom and democracy in people's hearts. Instead, it collapsed because of a farce to claim the emperor. With the collapse of the Yuan Shikai government was the hope of generations of Chinese efforts. Since then, China has fallen into an increasingly turbulent situation, and if it were not for Feng Shaoshuai to turn the tide, I am afraid that China would really be caught in a civil strife. Democratic self-improvement can only become a flash in the pan.

The Chinese Navy entered the Strait of Malacca, and the golden dragon flag shone brightly. The Chinese living on the docks in Malacca immediately gathered around after determining that it was a Chinese naval ship. When Han Zhen, the captain of the Taishan, reported to Feng Delin about the Chinese onlookers at the dock. Feng Delin immediately ordered the Chinese naval fleet to stop its plan to leave immediately and stay in Malacca for a day. Fung personally boarded the pier to meet with the onlookers.

Most of these onlookers were coolies living at the bottom of society, and everyone was shocked when they heard that the person who shook hands with them was the vice president of the Republic of China.

After the news spread, Ma Fengchun, president of the Malacca Chinese Federation, led the local Chinese leaders to the pier. And accompanied by Feng Delin, he boarded the flagship Taishan. Ma Fengchun, who was already in his seventies, knelt on the deck of the Taishan and cried like a child. The Chinese who accompanied him wept excitedly. ..., according to the records of the British at the dock, more than 10,000 Chinese gathered at the dock that day because of the Chinese navy. Almost all the Chinese who have heads and faces in the local area have arrived. There were countless ordinary Chinese, and in the end, in order to maintain order at the docks, the British had to send a police force to maintain law and order.

In the evening of the same day, Ma Fengchun invited Fung Tak Lin to a banquet on behalf of the Chinese people in Melaka. Feng Delin readily agreed. More than 20 government officials accompanied him, and the remaining members of the Chinese delegation were warmly pulled to their homes by other Chinese to inquire in detail about the situation in China. Soon, the situation in China also spread to all parts of Nanyang through the mouths of these people. Feng Shaoshuai, who led China to complete this miracle, became the idol of the Nanyang Chinese for the first time. Many Chinese children born in Nanyang have a yearning for China. And directly led to the situation of a large number of Chinese migrating to the country.

"Mr. President was able to take time out of his busy schedule to attend our banquet, and Xiao Lao'er expressed his sincere gratitude on behalf of all the Chinese in Malacca." Ma Fengchun said with a red face. For him, being able to share a banquet with China's vice president is a glorious thing.

"Ma Lao is polite. Speaking of gratitude, it should be those of us in China who thank you for the heroes who have been working hard. When China resisted the Japanese, the Nanyang Chinese enthusiastically donated money and materials, and even sent their true love children back to China to participate in the war. The reason why we were able to achieve victory against the invaders was due to the contribution of the Nanyang Chinese. For the Nanyang Chinese, we have always held the gratitude and admiration from the bottom of our hearts. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the plight of the Chinese in Nanyang. Although our motherland is not yet strong, I want to tell you one thing: the Chinese government will always be the greatest guarantee for your overseas travelers. One day, the motherland will develop to the point where all overseas Chinese can straighten their backs and behave uprightly. Feng Delin said affectionately.

Ma Fengchun was told by Feng Delin's old tears.

"Xiao Lao'er went to Nanyang at the age of fifteen, and it has been a long time since he left the motherland, but no matter what kind of humiliation we suffer outside, the motherland is the softest place in our hearts, and that is our roots! Over the years, the motherland has experienced so many things, and we have been excited, longed for, and disappointed. The status of our Chinese in Nanyang is not high, but whenever there is a major event in China, we Nanyang Chinese will always do our best. We don't ask for anything in return, we just hope that the motherland will get better and better. Now with these words of the president, all the efforts of our Nanyang Chinese are worth it. ”

"Ma Lao. Please believe that the current government will use the shortest possible time to become a strong backing for the Nanyang Chinese. And my son Feng Yong is also ready to set up an office in Nanyang to protect the interests of local Chinese in the name of the Chinese government! Feng Delin said.

"Really?" Not only Ma Fengchun, but all the Chinese stood up excitedly.

"Of course it's true, when our China office is established in Nanyang, the fate of Chinese people who are just being bullied will be gone forever." Feng Delin said firmly.

"Great! It's really great! ...... "The whole banquet turned into a sea of joy.

As for the question of China's establishment of an office in Nanyang, Feng Yong began to consider it after China's reunification. It's just that the South China Sea is mostly an island country, and it is always difficult to have a big impact without a strong navy. In addition, with the Paris Peace Conference just around the corner, the pattern of the South Seas will certainly undergo tremendous changes. If China intervenes in the South China Sea early, it will inevitably lead to the suspicion of China's colonial expansion. Today's China is bent on recovering its lost territory and has little interest in colonial expansion. Moreover, the interests of the Nanyang region involve almost all the major powers in the West, and it is a quagmire that is cut and unorganized, and China is not qualified to intervene in it.

Therefore, Feng Yong could only wait until the Paris Peace Conference and a new world system was formed. China is setting up an office in Nanyang through negotiation only to ensure the interests of the Chinese in Nanyang. I believe that China can still do this. ..., having a day in Malacca, the Chinese naval formations set sail again. This time, in addition to the three warships of the Chinese Navy, it was followed by seven or eight merchant ships full of goods. These were the goods of Malacca merchants, just in time with the actions of the Chinese formations. For this, of course, Feng Delin will not refuse. Nanyang Chinese have paid a lot for the country, and of course Feng Delin has no reason to refuse this easy thing.

Tarzan.

"Minister Shi, the life of the Chinese in Nanyang is really hard!" Han Zhen said in a low voice. Unlike Shi Yuewang, who attended the banquet held by the wealthy, Han Zhen went to the homes of some ordinary Nanyang Chinese. Learn about the living conditions of ordinary Chinese in Nanyang. There are many wealthy families among the Nanyang Chinese, but most of them are still poor laborers, who do the most tiring work, but receive a small pay. A year's hard work is only enough to maintain food and clothing. What shocked Han Zhen the most was that even these poor people who were barely making ends meet, when they heard that China was fighting against Japan, they did not hesitate to take out their hard-earned money. Thinking of the envious look on their faces when Han Zhen talked about China's current situation, Han Zhen felt a faint pain in his heart. Most of these people are illiterate, but they have the most sincere feelings for the motherland.

"Yes! As the only route between the West and East Asia, Nanyang is also the earliest colony established by Western countries. Western countries have plundered here, causing the local people's livelihood to wither. Nanyang rubber and minerals are very rich, in order to mine these things, they need a large number of workers, and Chinese laborers are docile, practical, and willing to do any work, so Nanyang will have such a great demand for Chinese labor. However, because of the poverty and weakness of the motherland before, the low status of Chinese workers is similar to that of the local natives, and they are often treated unfairly. The Nanyang Chinese have nowhere to redress their grievances, so they can only grit their teeth and hold on. For these people, distant China is their last hope. Shi Yuewang sighed and said.

"Yes! I really hope that the motherland will become strong soon, so that the status of the Nanyang Chinese can also be changed. Han Zhen said as he looked at Malacca, who was gradually disappearing from sight.

"With the young marshal leading everyone, I believe that this day will not be too far away." Shi Fatzi said confidently facing the rising sun.
