Chapter 917: Autonomy Concerns

As for the population moving into the Western Special Zone, they must obey the arrangements of the Special Zone and fill these people into sparsely populated border areas, which can greatly expand the living space of the Hualan nation. Relying on this method, Zhao Shouhong completed the large immigration and expansion of the Hualan nation at the lowest cost. Seeing that the Western Special Zone is becoming stronger and stronger, the major warlords feel uncomfortable, even Sun Wenhai is the same.

Although Sun Wenhai knew that he was a revolutionary who did not care about his own interests during his contact with Zhao Shouhong, he still yearned for a democratic republic, believing that that was the only way to make Hualan Kingdom truly strong. Now Huang Bin retired to the Western Special Administrative Region for cultivation due to illness, while Song Jiaochu joined the SAR government and became the minister of the Ministry of Infrastructure. The three bigwigs of the Congress Party have gone second. Sun Wenhai felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier. Under the strong pressure from all parties in the country, he began to look for foreign aid.

At this time, the Red Luo Kingdom announced the five-year outline for electrification construction, and the whole country began a vigorous industrialization construction. Sun Wenhai saw a glimmer of hope for this emerging country. In extreme difficulties, they defeated the Rakshasa Empire and defeated the intervention armies of various countries, which made them gain a firm foothold on the Western Continent. If they cooperated with such a country, they seemed to learn the secret to make the army stronger. Therefore, Sun Weihua specially sent his disciple Jiang Ruiyuan to Moscow, hoping to reach a cooperation intention.

Since Buning matched the Hualan Communist Party, he has been paying attention to this small party. However, in the early stages of establishment, the development of the party was very difficult, not to mention that they had no support from any force. Such a party that often provoked movements and opposed the government was naturally suppressed by warlords from all over the country, so the development of the Communist Party was never ideal.

Just when Buning was anxious about this and didn't know when he could attack the Western Special Zone, Jiang Ruiyuan's appearance gave him another idea, to cooperate with the warlords in Hualan. Now, in addition to the Western Special Zone, the warlords in Hualan are divided into five factions, among which the Jiaozhi and Guangxi clans are closely related to the Special Zone, and they are obviously their invisible ally. The direct warlords are harboring the Saar Empire, while the Fengtian warlords are supported by Japan. The only thing that no one cares about is the Guangdong clan.

Sun Wenhai is an idealist. He does not want his power to be mastered by the great powers, so he always disagrees with cooperation with many great powers. This is what Zhao Shouhong admires most. However, this time Sun Wenhai was abnormal and chose the weakest Red Luo Kingdom.

In fact, Sun Wenhai had two considerations for doing this. The first is that the Guangdong clan is relatively rich. All they want is a way to make the army strong, but financial support is not necessary. The second is that the Hongluo Kingdom is weak, and only if the other party is weak can it become an equal cooperative relationship and will not turn the Guangdong clan into a puppet of other countries because of being controlled by others.

Now the Hongluo Kingdom does not have the energy to manage foreign puppets. Sun Yat-sen was able to post to cooperate equally, so that Buning could achieve the goal of restraining the Western Special Administrative Region. Buning immediately sent Marin as a representative to personally go to Dongdong City to meet Sun Yat-sen. Just after New Year's Day, the dusty Marin met Sun Yat-sen in the presidential palace in Dongdong City.

The two had an hour of secret talk in private, and both sides analyzed the domestic situation and future development. Sun Wenhai also agreed with the other party's opinion on the lack of combat effectiveness of the Guangdong Army. The solution given by Malin was very simple, to change the Hongluo weapons, and at the same time, with the help of the Hongluo Army, establish a military academy and train new-style officers. The Hongluo Army sent experienced commanders to serve as military advisers. Only in this way can the combat effectiveness of the Guangdong Army be rapidly improved and eventually surpass most domestic warlords.

Malin's proposal made Sun Wenhai's eyes lit up. He immediately appointed his most trusted Jiang Ruiyuan to be responsible for the preparation of the Hualanguo Army Officer's Academy. Because the military academy was placed on Changzhou Island, Huangpu District, Dongcheng, Guangdong, it was later called the Whampoa Military Academy. This military academy, which was originally of great significance in history and was an epoch-making product, was established at this time in a desperate situation.

The Zhongchuan Army Officer School, which was established more than ten years ago, has already attracted all the talents across the country. At this time, the quality of students in the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy could no longer be guaranteed. In desperation, Sun Wenhai had to order the Hongluo people to teach, and the students were composed of young officers drawn from the Guangdong Army. A regular military academy that was originally magnificent and cultivated countless talents, but unexpectedly became an officer training class from the beginning.

Just when Sun Wenhai rectified his military equipment and carried out talent training with military schools, a big thing happened in Nanyuan Province. Since the warlord Zhang Jingyao was driven away by the people of Nanyuan, it has become a land of unlimited land. The people of Nanyuan quickly elected some local gentry and established autonomous committees. According to the original plan, the people of Nanyuan should elect a parliament and establish their own autonomous government. However, half of the land in Nanyuan Province has always been in the Western Special Administrative Region, which is unacceptable.

Once half of Nanyuan Province implements autonomy, the two places that were originally quite lacking in connection will be completely separated and become two irrelevant provinces, which made the Nanyuan people unacceptable emotionally. Therefore, the Nanyuan people sent representatives to Shudu to petition, hoping that the Western Special Administrative Region can return half of Nanyuan province to the province and allow them to implement autonomy in the whole province.

Logically speaking, the huge Three Gorges Hydropower Station is being built in Nanyuan Province. With such a strategic project, it is absolutely impossible to return the territory. However, Zhao Shouhong did not want to leave himself a bad reputation for being insatiable because of this matter, so he personally met these representatives.

"Hello, Lord General, I am Xiao Nan, the representative of the Nanyuan Provincial Autonomous Committee. The purpose of my visit today is to ask you to combine Nanyuan Province into one and establish your own autonomous government." Xiao Nan, the representative of Nanyuan Province who took the lead in Shudu, bowed to Zhao Shouhong and told his purpose. He knew that there was almost no possibility of success in this matter, but he still wanted to try it out because it was related to the completeness of Nanyuan Province.

After looking at Xiao Nan, Zhao Shouhong replied for a brief thought: "Who are you representing this time?"

"Of course it's all the people of Nanyuan." Xiao Nan blurted out his words.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said, "It's not the case. You can only represent half of the people of Nanyuan Province at most."

"This..." Xiao Nan was speechless.
