Looking at the whole country, compared with the gloomy Beiyang, the Guangzhou regime is dominated by a group of ambitious young people, all the officers are trained by new-style military training, and some of the officials in the government who hold real power are open-minded and well-educated, they are full of vigor, full of energy, have ideals, and are more willing to sacrifice and sacrifice, compared with those conservative and decadent old-school bureaucrats who came from the late Qing Dynasty, their scheming methods are inferior, but this is exactly what Situ Nan wants to see. ◎ Smart kids remember super fast hand play update  ◎
Fortunately, this is Guangzhou, the most open and energetic city in the country, unlike the capital city in the north, where even the air is soaked in the smell of decay.
Situ Nan thought to himself.
In his heart, he doesn't like those old zombies who wear melon skin hats, wear horse coats, lack of calcium in their knees, and have sinister and dirty eyes, only Li Zongren and Lin Yimin, these new young people, are in line with Situ Nan's modern people's hearts.
Situ Nan smiled and stretched out his hand, holding a pair of rough and powerful soldiers' hands, and nodded secretly.
"I've always admired the general's demeanor, I want to talk to General Li about something, can I invite you to Situ Mansion as a guest?"
"Good!" Li Zongren agreed, and all along, he also wanted to ask this Mr. Situ face-to-face, why when he was just a small battalion commander, he suddenly received strong support from the Meihua Company, and after the fall of the old Gui family, he quickly became a rising star.
This meeting was held impromptuly, and only the most core people were eligible to attend, because Situ Nan, who had been behind the scenes, had to show up about China's future.
After a while, the three giants of the Guangzhou government, Chen Jiongming, Deng Keng, and Chen Tianming, all rushed over. plus Li Zongren, Lin Yimin and Situ Nan, a total of six people.
At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Jiongming presided over the meeting, he was the oldest person on the scene and was recognized as the leader of the Zhi Gong Party.
"First of all, I would like to welcome Mr. Szeto to this meeting in his busy schedule. In the past few years, everyone has seen the changes in the two Guangzhou, and we have today's achievements without the vigorous support of Mr. Situ and other overseas Chinese. ”
Chen Jiongming nodded sincerely at Situ Nan.
"We all came together with the heart of national independence and prosperity, which is the result of everyone's efforts, and Liangguang has become a model province in China. Mr. Chen and Mr. Li have made great contributions. ”
Situ Nan said modestly, and glanced at Chen Jiongming and Li Zongren, historically, the two belonged to different camps, but now they have come together.
Hehe, Situ Nan's words Chen Jiongming was very useful, and his face was full of glory, all the time. The Meihua faction pays attention to maintaining his position as a political leader, of course, this is also related to Chen Jiongming's lack of ambition, self-knowledge, and not pointing fingers everywhere.
"One of the goals of this Northern Expedition is to take Hubei and put our Hanyang Iron Works and other important industries under the protection of the army!"
meeting. Lin Yimin strongly built yì road.
Wuhan Industrial Group is the industry of Meihua Company, under the rule of the Beiyang government in recent years, the development has been subject to many restrictions, Lin Yimin did not dare to put more investment in Wuhan, for fear of making a wedding dress for others.
This is also the consensus of everyone. Push it to the Yangtze River, connect the southern revolutionary base with the heavy industry base in central China, and in the future, whether it is eastward or continue northward, it will be able to occupy the initiative.
"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, how are the logistics preparations?"
Chen Jiongming nodded. Yan asked. I thought to myself: The Guangzhou government is strong and strong, and the banner of inter-provincial autonomy has been fought for several years, and it will soon be lost.
Fueled by the Propaganda Department, negative news about the Beiyang warlords appeared more and more on major pages, and the call for the Northern Expedition became increasingly loud.
"Enough for 200,000 troops to consume for half a year. At the same time, the Ministry of Finance can allocate 20 million South Chinese dollars for military spending to issue public bonds, and I am sure that I will be able to obtain 30 million South Chinese dollars from private subscriptions. That adds up to 50 million South Chinese dollars, which should be enough. ”
Chen Tianming, who was in charge of finance, said confidently and turned his head to Lin Yimin.
"Meihua can provide a loan of 10 million South Chinese dollars. In order to deal with possible foreign interference, our overseas compatriots can raise 100 million South Chinese dollars through special channels. Of course, this money is planned to be used for post-war economic recovery, and it is better not to use it. ”
Lin Yimin joked.
The South Chinese Dollar and the Silver Dollar are close to each other, 150 million South Chinese Dollars, obediently, this is not counting the arms and materials prepared in advance? Wu Peifu shouldn't be in the mood to compete with the bearded Zhang of the Northeast when he heard the news, right?
Li Zongren thought in his heart, feeling that this time he came to Guangzhou in vain.
Here's your chance to make a difference!
A voice rang in his head.
As a soldier, there is nothing that excites him more than being well funded. raised his head, and his eyes happened to meet Deng Keng, the chief of staff opposite, and they all saw a smile in the other party's eyes.
From the very beginning, the Guangzhou government has implemented the separation of military and political affairs, and the armed forces have always been under the control of the government, and military spending comes from government appropriations, and the military is absolutely not allowed to get involved in local finances. Li Zongren didn't need to worry about money, he just had to lead his troops to fight and complete the task.
"What about the opinion of the military? Our targets may also include Shanghai and other areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, are you sure? ”
Chen Jiongming's gaze fell on the faces of Deng Keng and Li Zongren, and asked expectantly.
"With our troops, it should be fine. However, it is better to let Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin fight, and we will do it again, so that we can have a greater grasp. ”
Deng Keng said.
"Agreed." Li Zongren echoed.
"Since this is the case, we will reply to Zhang Zuolin and calm his heart." Chen Jiongming said with a smile.
"Leave this matter to me! That guy Zhang Shaoshuai has urged me several times. Lin Yimin echoed.
From beginning to end, Situ Nan listened and did not speak, he secretly compared the Northern Expedition in history, without the participation of the G Party, there may be less enthusiasm in mobilizing the masses and social mobilization, but sufficient logistics, advanced equipment, and a well-trained army should be able to make up for it. Lip service is important, but you have to rely on your fists to fight.
After four years of running-in with the Guangzhou government, the Guangdong-Guizhou coalition army has long been mixed and will not be divided, and the history of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the G will not appear - this is the most important thing!
The same bed and different dreams, each with a ghost, will eventually lead to many tragedies.
Situ Nan concluded.
From the very beginning, the Zhi Gong Party drew a clear line with Sun Wen and others, preferring to occupy less territory, not to be famous, to be a low-key person, and to devote energy to construction.
Chen Jiongming also agrees with this, so he will become the object of Situ Nan's favor. As for the Sun cannon who could only brag, Situ Nan was unimpressed.
Sun Wen once shouted that he wanted to build a 200,000-mile railway, which is unrealistic.
It was not until a hundred years later, when China re-emerged as the world's second largest economy, that the government desperately built high-speed railways, and built the Qinghai-Tibet Railway with great perseverance, that the country's railway mileage exceeded 100,000 kilometers, that is, 200,000 miles.
Around the world, Americans can build more than 200,000 kilometers of railroad. However, in my lifetime, I really want to see that exciting scene.
Situ Nan thought to himself.
"Does Mr. Situ have anything to say?" Chen Jiongming's words woke up Situ Nan and pulled him back from his imagination.
"What? Isn't there enough money? I donated 10 million yuan for military expenses. ”
Situ Nan said casually.
These words made Li Zongren's heart beat faster, and he looked at Situ Nan eagerly, and said in his heart: This guy is actually distracted at such an important meeting. However, there is really money!
What they didn't know was that yesterday Situ Nan received news from Africa that Chevron had drilled several oil wells in Algeria and that a huge stream of dollars and francs were spewing out from under the desert, and the French were so excited that they almost cried.
Situ Nan continued: "Now that the conditions are ripe in all aspects, we only lack one opportunity. However, I would like to remind you that we have many enemies, and the Beiyang warlords are just one of them! There are also foreigners in the back, as well as the feudal traditions left over from this old country for thousands of years, and Yiqiē has just begun. ”
"That's right. The Northern Expedition was not only a war, but also a social change. We want to use the power of the whole society to defeat the Beiyang government, either you die or I live! ”
Li Zongren added, with a firm face.
"Total war?" Situ Nan's eyes lit up, and he reflexed.
"Hmm!" Li Zongren nodded.
The general war is a complex and huge social project, involving all aspects, and the best ones are the Germans, otherwise they would not be able to confront several powers. There is no doubt that they have also brought this kind of thinking to China, and how far can they be achieved with the current low mobilization capacity in the country, Situ Nan wondered in his heart.
However, in Liangguang, where the Zhi Gong Party and the Meihua Company have been operating for a long time, this is not impossible. In fact, specific measures have already been implemented, such as the transfer of factories under the Meihua Company to military production, the mobilization of reserves, the mobilization of public opinion propaganda, and so on, but they have not been explicitly proposed before.
In order to unify command, the meeting decided to set up the Northern Expedition Revolutionary Committee to lead the military and political affairs of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces, with Chen Jiongming, who has the highest prestige, as chairman, Chen Tianming as vice chairman, Li Zongren, Deng Keng, and Lin Yimin as members of the Standing Committee, and the rest of the committee members are mainly selected from the civilian officials of the three provinces, and only a few people come from the military system.
"I'm not good at military command, so I'll leave it to you, and I hope you will cooperate sincerely." Chen Jiongming said to Li Zongren and Deng Keng with emotion.
In addition to Situ Nan, all five people attending the meeting became members of the Standing Committee of the committee, and a military committee was set up under the Revolutionary Committee, with Deng Keng as chairman and Li Zongren as auxiliary. The military command was dominated by the two of them, and Situ Yong, Bai Chongxi and others were elected to the committee.
At the same time, it also set up an administrative committee to organize military spending, stabilize production, mobilize all sectors of society to participate in the revolution, and train the administrative personnel of the newly occupied areas to ensure that the fruits of the revolution do not fall into the hands of those local snakes.
Situ Nan was bent on promoting this result, and in any case, he had to maintain the economic control of the American and Chinese factions, the political superiority of the Zhi Gong Party, and most importantly, the army he built would not become a warlord's army.
His name won't appear on the official list, but years later, people will still marvel at the pervasiveness of the Night King's influence in that murky and tumultuous history, hiding behind his back, calmly watching the performances of the stars on stage, all directed by him. RQ
