"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost ......"

There was a loud singing voice floating on the vast grassland, a group of young officers slowed down from the galloping state of horses, and came in formation, their movements were a little stiff, the formation was a little scattered, it seemed that their riding skills were a little jerky, but their spirit was excited, slightly wheezing, their red faces were filled with sweat, and their blood flowed with youthful vitality.

Whether in ancient times, or now, or a hundred years later, horseback riding is a wealthy sport, and ordinary people can rarely experience the thrill of galloping horses.

"Although I was trained to ride horses in Wuhan, it is rare to have the opportunity to gallop like today." Zhang Lingpu held the reins with one hand, rubbed the inner thigh that was strangled with the other, and lightly raised the horsewhip to point to the open grassland in front of him, and said with a smile on his face.

With him were Chen Geng and other friends, and their mood was no different from Zhang Lingpu.

"This horse is good, much stronger than the Mongolian horse I saw in my hometown in Shanxi." Xu Xiangqian said, reaching out and stroking the white mane of the mount under his crotch, all white, without a single miscellaneous hair, very beautiful.

"This is one of the best Arabian horses in the world, imported from abroad. I've always heard that there is a horse ranch near Nanjing, and I finally saw it today. This is one of the only two military horse farms in our army, and the other is in Hanguang in northern Guangdong. The high-headed horses that the high-ranking officers of the army ride on weekdays are supplied here. ”

Liu Xiaoyao, who is lively by nature, said a little pretentiously.

At present, the country's railways are booming, and the capacity to transport materials has been strengthened, and the railways cannot completely replace the role of horses in transportation. In particular, heavy weapons are transported in the mountains and other field terrain. The role of horses is irreplaceable. The Zhi Gong Party government built two horse farms in the south. Every year, horses are bought from the north.

"You know so much, why don't you stay and be a Bi Ma Wen or something, hehe."

Hu Zongnan, who was originally short, was riding on horseback at the moment, looking a little more heroic, and after galloping on the horse, his usual gloomy temperament was released a lot, and he became hearty, and it was rare to joke.

"You're just Bi Ma Wen!" Liu Xiaoyao glared at Hu Zongnan. A little angry, but his Zhengtai's face was not lethal at all, but made Hu Zongnan and them laugh even more happily.

"There are not enough horses in the south, and only by looking north to the Central Plains can we get a large number of horses. My hometown of Gansu in the north of Shaanxi Province is the best base for horse breeding. ”

Zhang Lingpu said with a stern face, raised his head and looked at the north from afar, his eyes were deep, and a heroic spirit exuded. His words have entered the hearts of all people, who does not desire to make a contribution? So they couldn't help but sing.

"The horse's hooves go south, and the people look north. People look north, and the grass is still green. Dusty. I originally defended the territory and reopened the territory, and China wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate! ”

The atmosphere is sad and majestic, the momentum is magnificent, the tone is sad and desolate, and the image of Yue Fei, the hero of the ages, suddenly jumps on the paper, which makes people admire.

The song sounded again, reaching the edge of the ranch all green, Situ Yong smiled slightly when he heard it, and smiled at Situ Nan beside him: "It seems that they like your song "Loyal to the Country" very much. ”

Those who are familiar with Situ Nan know that Situ Nan often writes literature and music, but he generally does not take it lightly.

Situ Yong also discovered this work from Situ Nan by chance, and he liked it very much, so he promoted the song to the army. Of course, as the song spread, the author of the song, a man named Chongyue, people never knew who the mysterious author was.

Situ Nan ignored Situ Yong, waved his whip, and with a sound of the horn, he rode out on horseback.

It is said that the current Nanjing Racecourse is not bigger than Situ Nan's manor near Hollywood, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Zhang Lingpu and other young officers, his movements were chic and agile, and his riding skills were skillful, which made Zhang Lingpu and them amazed.

Seeing a strange man suddenly appear, Zhang Lingpu and they were surprised, and soon found that a team of horses was coming behind him, followed by Situ Yong and a group of entourage.

Zhang Lingpu didn't know Situ Nan, but he was no stranger to Situ Yong, so he dismounted and saluted.

"Too young, too simple Tucson breaks!"

When Situ Nan saw these young guys in front of him, he sighed in his heart, especially Zhang Lingpu. Good guy, so handsome, no wonder Lao Jiang likes him so much.

said to Situ Yong: "He is Zhang Lingpu?" ”

"Hmm." Situ Yong nodded, but thought in his heart: Don't you know these people?

Then he introduced Xu Xiangqian, Chen Geng, Hu Zongnan and others to Situ Nan in turn, in Situ Yong's words, Situ Nan is a brother in his clan and a patriotic businessman.

"Do a good job, the country and the nation hope in you." South Szeto Road. He is only a few years older, and his tone of voice seems to be a little old-fashioned, which really makes Zhang Lingpu and them a little depressed, what is the origin of this guy?

Without the consciousness of mingling with this group of hot-blooded young people, Situ Nan said hello and left, and his last gaze stayed on Xu Xiangqian's face with a bitter face, which was somewhat meaningful and fleeting.

Zhang Lingpu didn't know what they had missed, even their beloved General Situ Yong walked with him in a friendly manner, and he was slightly half a position behind, so it could be seen that the man who was not wearing a military uniform left leisurely, and the back of the military uniform behind him.

From beginning to end, Situ Nan's momentum was stronger than Situ Yong, leaving a mysterious and noble impression.

"Wow, do you see it, the horse that Mr. Situ rode just now is the legendary sweat and blood horse, and the red rabbit horse that is unique in ten thousand is this species."

Liu Xiaoyao sighed with a sigh, seeing a rare treasure, and couldn't help but admire.

"Maybe that Mr. Situ is bigger than General Situ Yong!"

Hu Zongnan, who is relatively old and sophisticated, touched his chin and muttered to himself, thoughtful in his heart.

Back at the stable, Situ Nan patted the horse's back, his palms were stained with the horse's blood-red sweat, he was very satisfied, and instructed an entourage beside him: "Choose a few horses to send to Shanghai, so that foreigners and those rich second generations can see their horizons." ”

"Okay. I'll pick a few more riders from Jingwu Sports School, they are highly skilled, and they will definitely not disgrace you. ”

The man who accosted him was a middle-aged man, and I saw that he was thirty or forty years old. Medium build. Wearing a tunic suit. The pace is steady, although the appearance is ordinary, the eyes are introverted and sharp, and there is a kind of crisp and neat temperament.

Situ Nan nodded casually, this is just a trivial matter.

A hundred years later, Hong Kong is notoriously enthusiastic about horse racing and horse betting, and the Hong Kong Jockey Club is still regarded as one of the groups that sue Hong Kong. And now Hong Kong is still in the countryside, if compared with Shanghai Tang in Shiliyangchang.

The foreigners were later driven out of Shanghai and went to Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Jockey Club would be so lively. Gradually. It can be seen that in Shanghai now, horse racing is a kind of elite and celebrity enthusiast, and the small people in the market follow the lively sports, which is very popular. The British built a racecourse in the concession, and the rich Chinese who couldn't squeeze in saw that the foreigners didn't play with them, so they also built a racetrack in Jiangwan outside the concession.

Thanks to the Shanghai construction plan, the Jiangwan Racecourse was quickly completed, which was larger and more beautiful than the racecourse in the concession, which made the Chinese raise their eyebrows and exhale once.

"Actually, I was racing with those rich second generations. Actually, it's not interesting, but it's rare to hold the East Asian Games. Let the foreigner win the game and lose face, especially if the foreigner is still an Oriental? ”

Situ Nan said with a smile.

Although he has passed the age of jealousy, Situ Nan has always liked and attached importance to sports, and under his promotion, the sports industry in China and South China can be said to dominate Asia.

Well, the Chinese men's basketball team does dominate East Asia. The height of the Chinese in these years is basically one meter six, no different from the Japanese, at least in terms of average height, that is, people in later generations often say "crippled", but the victory is in the large base, tall men can still pick out a lot, and there are still many advantages in playing.

East Asia is also China, Japan, South Africa, the Philippines, and Siam, and there are only five so-called independent countries. There are only two truly independent countries, Japan and South China, Siam and the Philippines are considered half-crippled, and the remaining one is not to be mentioned.

"You can't lose to the Japanese." Although he could not appreciate Situan's sense of accomplishment in his sports career, the man still firmly expressed his determination.

"Then it depends on your Jingwu Sports School's cousin." Situ Nan smiled, looking full of confidence.

Thinking of something, back at the hotel, Situ Nan took out a manuscript from a pile of manuscripts in the drawer and handed it over: "Ah Liu, look at the school song of Meihua Sports School that I wrote." I am also going to recommend it as the national anthem, it is called the Great Wall of China. ”

The man named Ah Liu looked at it, nodded, thought it was good, and was a little puzzled in his heart, just for a school song, there is no need to be solemn, right? Although there are many, many students and dozens of branches in China, South China and the United States.

"Its prototype is your master Huo Daxia. I think the country needs Huo Daxia's spirit of the Great Wall to inspire the people to strive for self-improvement. When I arrived in Shanghai, I was going to have someone shoot a Huo Daxia movie. If you have no opinion, I will leave it to you to be responsible, and when you arrive in Shanghai, you will discuss with the film company to see which company is better to work with. ”

"Master—"

Situ Nan's words shocked Ah Liu, and the body of this man, who had always been pampered and not shocked, trembled, his eyes turned red in an instant, and a thousand words were in his throat, unable to speak.

There was a pause, just a vigorous nod.

Ah Liu's name is Liu Zhensheng, Huo Yuanjia's eldest apprentice, with strong martial arts, one can fight more than a dozen. The rumors about their master and apprentice punching the Japanese devils were even more talked about by the world, and later moved to the TV screen over and over again in history.

Well, the above is talking about Chen Zhen. Chen is really fictional, but his prototype Liu Zhensheng really appeared in front of Situ Nan.

After the dissolution of Jingwu School, he was taken in by Absinthe Taoist priests and recommended to Situ Nan, who was gradually reused by Situ Nan and became the director of the security department of the Meihua Foundation.

In a sense, the Meihua Sports School is a civilian version of the Central Military Academy, and the Meihua Foundation has collected hundreds of thousands of Han orphans and poor children, and most of these children who have almost been sold into the United States and China have been placed in the Meihua Sports Schools in various places for rigorous training, and have produced results.

Some of the older graduates have come in handy to participate in the pioneering work of the South Seas, and some have unfortunately suffered casualties, but the number of Javanese natives who have died at the hands of these brainwashed Hitler-like enthusiastic youths resembling the "Hitler Youth" is much greater.

So Ah Liu is an inconspicuous mysterious man who is called the president of the "Chinese Black Dragon Society" by the Japanese, but he doesn't think so, because his business is mainly in South China.

And he has not yet found a partner with a revolutionary spirit like "Sun Jun" within the enemy.

"Master, one day I will avenge you. Now, I'm going to vindicate your name first! The young master said that making a movie and telling your deeds can let the people know that you and our Jingwumen are martial arts. I'm sure what he says will come true. Definitely! ”

looked at Situ Nan with emotion. Liu Zhensheng couldn't calm down for a long time.

"On behalf of Master and Jingwumen, I would like to thank you, Young Master." Liu Zhensheng said.

"Master Huo is someone I admire. It just so happened that there was a girl in Shanghai who was disobedient and secretly went to make a movie, and on a whim, I thought that Master Huo and you Jingwumen were a good subject. ”

Situ Nan smiled sincerely. Feeling a slight heat flow in the dantian, and there was a strength in his whole body, he felt a little pity in his heart, he couldn't see the famous martial arts master, otherwise he would have the opportunity to "measure himself" to comprehend it.

After a few years of perseverance, the pamphlet that Situ Nan got from the absinthe Taoist has been fulfilled as some kind of "internal strength" secret strategy. However, there is no magical effect, neither can it fly away from the sky, nor can it be sent out of the body by internal force across the mountains, let alone block bullets.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's fight with me!" Situ Nan's hand was itchy and challenged Liu Zhensheng, a martial arts master.

"Okay."

"Count me in." Situ Yong appeared.

"It's better to come on General Yong! I suddenly remembered that there was something else going on, so I went first. Liu Zhensheng pushed the boat down the river and left.

There is no sword and sword, no cornices and walls, but it is a fist to the flesh. It hurts a lot, too.

When Situ Yong appeared at the Xiaguan Pier the next day, he had two dark circles on his face. It was black like panda eyes, his face was a little depressed, and he scolded Situ Nan, the murderer, over and over again in his heart.

"That guy seems harmless, and he is ruthless enough. What's even more annoying is that he had a fight with himself, and he still had the energy to inspect the Jinling Arsenal and meet with Mao Yisheng Architects to listen to the report of the Nanjing Bridge. ”

Situ Nan ignored Situ Yong's complaints, and after a short stay in Nanjing, he left the so-called city that was full of the spirit of the king and at the same time contaminated with too much Qinhuai River incense powder and was not hard enough.

The Shimonoseki wharf expanded, and the Meihua Mining Company built a large storage yard on the wharf with mountains of black coal. "Huainan's coal mines are connected to railways and ships, and more and more appear in the East China market, and Huainan's southward strategy has achieved initial results."

When he said this, Liu Hongsheng was a little proud.

"The throughput of the Shimonoseki terminal is still too small, and your little coal is not enough for my power plant to consume for a month. Don't forget that there are also Jinling Arsenal, Jinling Automobile Factory, etc., the newly built factories are all electrically powered, I see, Nanjing alone, at least 5 million tons of coal a year to meet the market demand. As soon as Liu Hongsheng's words fell, Xu Zhouyang on the side reminded him that the soon-to-be-completed Nanjing Xiaguan Thermal Power Plant consumes 100,000 tons of coal a year.

"Isn't your Meihua Mining industry a red alloy material market, and has hoarded a batch of tungsten ore in Nanjing, isn't it used to smelt tungsten alloy and produce cannonballs or knives and other big killers? He also built his own power plant. ”

Xu Zhouyang continued, his tone was a little sarcastic, as the head of Meihua Electric Company, he especially felt urgent about the coal mine, and what made him a little uncomfortable was that the smelter invested and built by Meihua Mining actually built its own power plant, leaving aside the power company to do it himself.

"Where does alloy smelting come from, we just smelt tungsten wire to make light bulbs." Liu Hongsheng snorted and said, "However, it is a loss to sell mineral sand to foreigners for nothing." ”

Meihua Mining Company digested a lot of tungsten alloy technology imported from Germany, and began to gradually build its own smelter.

Similar smelters, not only Meihua Mining is investing, Xu Zhouyang in front of him is one of the winners, but Liu Hongsheng has found Xu Zhouyang to cooperate, Meihua Electric Company can not give up this market, the two sides can't talk, Liu Hongsheng had to do it himself.

"Humph!" Xu Zhouyang said with some disdain, he is still very confident in his own Meihua Electric and the American Cummins Electric Company, which has a close relationship with Meihua Electric, because the Meihua Power Research Institute is under his management, and Meihua Electric Company has a closer relationship with the famous Meihua Shiyàn Office.

I thought: If you don't do a good job of mining and mining, and you still learn from others to engage in technology research and development, can you rely on the second-rate technology you learned from the Germans?

"Say what? Look like you're going to quarrel? ”

Situ Nan walked into the cabin and saw Liu Hongsheng and Xu Zhouyang's faces unswerving, so he asked. At this time, he had already forgotten the busy scene of the Shimonoseki Pier outside.

"Nothing. Meihua Mining wanted our Meihua Electric's power generation technology and equipment, but they did not provide us with coal in time, and they sent the coal to their own factory first. ”

Xu Zhouyang shrugged his shoulders and said lightly.

Liu Hongsheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Situ Nan, Situ Nan smiled slightly, and quickly understood what was going on, and the internal enterprises of the Meihua Department were going to fight.

There are contradictions between the localists and the foreigners, between the German faction and the American faction, between the Cantonese faction and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang faction, and between the Chinese faction and the South China faction. In general, cooperation is more important than competition, but people are always selfish, and it is not surprising that infighting occurs. PetroChina and Sinopec are still dogs all day long, and occasionally they join forces to bite CNOOC.

"One of you who generates electricity and the other who produces light bulbs, why don't you join forces? Just for the sake of such a small profit, a small smelter? A small tungsten filament is fighting? ”

Situ Nan was a little speechless.

Liu Hongsheng glanced at Situ Nan, a little ashamed, and said a little helplessly: "Song's recently invested in the electric lighting industry and asked me to cooperate, and it just so happens that I also want to make the tungsten industry bigger." ”

"Just when electrification is implemented in China, electric lighting is a sunrise industry, and the market is so big, no wonder so many people are tempted."

Situ Nandao suddenly understood, but this piece is one of the sources of profit of Meihua Electric, Xu Zhouyang wants to use the profits of electrical appliance manufacturing to subsidize the construction of power engineering and technology research and development, so he naturally refuses to give in lightly. After all, GE made its fortune mainly by making electric lights.

Although there is some trouble, Situ Nan is more gratified, because many industries in the United States and China have developed, and entanglements will occur in the upstream and downstream development process of various companies and departments.

Although Liu Hongsheng and Xu Zhouyang were a little awkward, Situ Nan was not worried that they would really fight, because their common interests were greater.

Meihua Mining provides raw materials fluorite, Meihua Electric manufactures products, and standing in the middle of them is Meihua Chemical Plant. (To be continued......)
