Ma Yubao didn't quite believe his ears. Chief of the patrol? Although he was a minor official compared to the governor, but compared to nothing, it was an incredible status.

"Is this what you mean?" Ma Yubao boldly asked. Zhao Hao waved his hand impatiently and said: "This is what the commander-in-chief meant. How can I, a small division chief, feel this? The commander-in-chief said you are from Anhui Province.

My fellow countrymen should be taken care of."

Hearing that it was Fang Jianxiong's intention, Ma Yubao felt relieved and nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll take this job myself."

"Since I accepted it, I will go up to the former governor's office for a meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow." Zhao Hao said, turned around and left, and said to the men beside him: "Let's go to the next house."

A group of spies left with great momentum. Taking advantage of the darkness, not a single celebrity in Nanchang City escaped. Every household received care. Of course, after a shock, there is always good news.

Early the next morning, a group of former military government officials yawned and appeared at the former Governor's Office, now the headquarters of the Jiangxi Military Region of the National Defense Forces.

They were all acquaintances, so they chatted together, and soon everyone had a clue. At nine o'clock sharp, there were about a hundred people sitting in the huge conference room, and they saw a dozen people walking up to the podium. The leader

It was Zhang Xiaohuai, followed by the former advisory director Xie Yuanhan, the former deputy directors Huang Daxun, Guo Gengping, and a little behind the former governor Ma Yubao. Half of the people on the rostrum were the original people.

The original members of the Advisory Bureau became the big winners at this meeting. It was established that after Jiangxi joined the United Autonomous Region, a new provincial assembly was announced. The original members of the Advisory Bureau automatically became members. The provincial governor was elected by the assembly.

There is also a United Autonomous Region Government Affairs Committee, so we can't take care of it for the time being. Let's carve up the existing political power first.

The Jiangxi incident, driven by interests, quickly achieved a stable result.

The negotiations in Wuchang are still going on, and there are two negotiations. One is between Chen Jintao and Fisher. The outcome of this negotiation is no doubt. The final agreement was reached in one morning. The Nanjing Provisional Government consists of the Steamship Investment Promotion Bureau, Jiangsu Railway

The association came forward to raise 8 million yuan from Miller Bank by investing in shares. As a result, Miller Bank obtained 51% of the shares and became the largest shareholder. The formal signing of the agreement will be held in Shanghai.

After hearing the news, Nanjing was very happy. Sun praised at the meeting: "Fang Fuguo is still knowledgeable. If he had not tried his best to promote this matter, the Northern Expedition would have been hopeless."

At this time, Hu Hanmin suddenly said: "What should we do about Han Yeping?"

The Japanese had no good way to deal with Fang Jianxiong. They couldn't start a war just because workers went on strike, right? Warlords would usually be honest after intimidating them, but Fang Jianxiong directly listed Murata as an unwelcome object. This caused the Japanese Minister Ijuin to be very angry and reported it to the country.

, and was even reprimanded by a telegram from the cabinet. He said: The issue of the China general's military swordsmanship was actually a mistake in the work of the ministries stationed in China. Relations with him should be improved as soon as possible to ensure Japan's interests in Hanyeping.

What do you mean? This guy named Fang Zhang suddenly appeared. The Japanese minister in China and the intelligence department did not pay enough attention to it, and there was a military friction with them, resulting in a huge gap in the pig iron provided by Han Yeping to Japan. This

It was all caused by mistakes in the work of various departments in China. A warlord was ignored by everyone. The key is that this warlord is very good at fighting.

Yijuyuan had no choice but to take a detour and find the interim government. It hoped that the issue of Han Yeping could be solved through the interim government. As for Fang Jianxiong, they would arrange separate contacts. However, they could only use other channels.

At this time, Japan was still at the junior level among the great powers. It was okay to bully the Qing Dynasty. Facing the card games of Britain, France and Germany, it still had to play the role of grandson. At the beginning of the Revolution of 1911, Russia took the initiative to discuss with Japan and jointly

They sent troops to intervene. As a result, the British big brother slapped them unconscious, and they followed him obediently and played the role of lackeys.

Sheng Xuanhuai, who was far away in Japan, initialed the "Han Yeping Co-organizer Agreement" with Mitsui & Yokoyoshi of Japan. When the news spread, the whole country opposed it. However, the Nanjing government cannot do without Japan's support and has always had an ambiguous attitude towards this matter. Now there are

Without the money from Miller Bank, the Japanese side seems less important. Of course, eight million will only quench their thirst for a while. To truly achieve the Northern Expedition and reach Beijing, a steady stream of financial investment is needed.

The Japanese government hopes to achieve the fait accompli that Han Yeping co-organized, but the biggest difficulty is that Hubei is actually controlled by Fang Jianxiong. Although the Japanese Navy sent two river warships to Daye, it is hard to say how effective it will be.

The most terrible thing is that under the current situation, adopting military means to solve Fang Jianxiong's problem will undoubtedly arouse opposition from the great powers. Among them, Britain, the leader, will definitely knock Japan out, and Germany will probably show its fangs.

After the tripartite talks, the Nanjing Provisional Government had nothing to say about the affairs of the autonomous region. At this stage, it can only serve as a bridge. Originally, Sheng Xuanhuai planned to raise 3 million yen from Mitsui & Company, of which 2 million yen was lent to the provisional government.

, in order to protect private property from loss and ensure personal life. Now these are unrealistic. If Fang Jianxiong does not agree, everything will be in vain.

Hu Hanmin said this at the meeting, which was obviously a bit inappropriate. They were discussing the Northern Expedition.

"Well, let's send a telegram to Fang Fuguo and see what he means." President Sun gave a vague conclusion and continued the meeting to discuss the Northern Expedition. For the Northern Expedition, we must first solve the problem of military supplies. Previously, Chen Qimei borrowed 300,000 yuan from Japan and purchased all the supplies.

It's Japanese weapons. It's not unusual at all for the Chinese army to be equipped with IWC brand equipment these days. However, the Japanese equipment is not cheap, not to mention that this period is very special. If you don't kill me, who will you kill?

At this time, Fang Jianxiong had something to say, and he could sell some arms at a low price. After contact, Fang Jianxiong sold 20,000 rifles to Nanjing at a price of 60 yuan per Hanyang-made rifle and 200 bullets, and 57 guns and 20 German-made French guns.

The door is priced at 5,000 yuan each and includes 50 bullets. The money will be deducted directly from Meile Bank. As long as the contract is officially signed, you can get the goods. Judging from the current price, it is still very reasonable.

. So Sun Cai praised Fang Jianxiong, and the previous unpleasantness was automatically forgotten.

After some contact, Sun felt that Fang Jianxiong was quite reasonable. If you don't offend him, I guarantee that nothing will happen. The last time the troops came to Nanjing, it was found that Chen Qimei was the cause of the trouble. So Sun repeatedly warned the internal bosses not to offend Fang.

of.

It is said that without Jiangxi, the prestige of the provisional government has suffered a huge blow, but Sun insisted at the meeting: "Losing Jiangxi will give you a greater guarantee of the success of the Northern Expedition." With this statement, everyone had no choice but to give up and talk privately.

Huang Xing had a quarrel with Sun, but in the end he obeyed Sun out of habit. Objectively speaking, putting aside issues of male-female relations and attitudes towards Japan, Sun, Huang and other leaders of the Tongmenhui, in this era, are still

It is worthy of respect. After all, in this era, overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty is the primary conflict. It can only be said that this generation failed to plan far-sightedly! Or it may be said that it lacks ability.

Guys like Fang Jianxiong, who came from an otaku background, all know that from a geopolitical perspective, the relationship between China, Japan, and Russia is definitely not good in this era. Let’s not mention polar bears’ desire for territory, little Japan.

The desire for the mainland has reached the point of madness. Expecting help from these two countries is essentially seeking the skin of a tiger.

The Nanjing Provisional Government's Northern Expedition Military Conference finally determined that Sun Yue would be the commander-in-chief, with three infantry divisions of the Jiangsu First Army as the main force, one division in Guangdong, one division in Zhejiang, and two divisions in Jiangxi (on the road) to form the Second

The army was auxiliary and went north along Jinpu Road, passing through Anhui.

The Nanjing Provisional Government's greatest hope was that Fang Jianxiong's National Defense Forces would join the Northern Expedition, but this was not very likely. After the meeting, Sun called Fang Jianxiong, hoping that the National Defense Forces would take action and provide strong support for the Northern Expedition.

After receiving a call from Nanjing, Fang Jianxiong finally reached an agreement in negotiations with the United States. The article "Memorandum of Cooperation" mainly covers the following aspects. First, the United States invested in the expansion of the Ma'anshang Steel Plant, and the United States accounted for 49% of the shares. This is Fang Jianxiong's favorite

seen,

That place is really unsafe. If you don’t wear the hat of a joint venture, you may not be able to sleep peacefully at night. Second, invest in Wuhu Manufacturing Bureau, with the United States accounting for 49% of the shares. Third, Bengbu, Wuhu, Anqing, Jiujiang, and Wuchang first-line

, build a railway to connect them. Long

Jiang's issue is what Americans should worry about. Fang Jianxiong insisted not to build a ferry but to build a bridge. Moreover, there are strict requirements on the height of the bridge. The Americans are not angry about this, but are very happy about it. I don't know if that's the case.

Even if your brain is full of water, you still have too much money.

Fang Hua, everyone is happy anyway. Americans account for 40% of the shares and have controlled the railway operation rights for 20 years. Fourth, establish an autonomous special administrative region. Investment by U.S. companies will be tax-free for two years, and half tax for the third year. Capital investment from other countries, conditions

Must not exceed U.S. capital.

In addition, Fang Jianxiong signed a secret agreement with Bethlehem Steel Company of the United States. Bethlehem Steel Company will provide an interest-free loan of US$30 million to the autonomous region for the purchase of four fully American-made light cruisers (Linxian class) from the United States, and according to Fang's requirements

, designing two battleships between cruisers and battleships. Well, the Americans were a little confused about this. They tried to persuade and educate Fang Jianxiong, but failed to impress, so they had to agree. Anyway, the requirements were very simple, and they couldn't beat the cruiser.

A foreign ship cannot defeat a battleship. Its basic quality determines that those who can catch it cannot defeat it, and those who can defeat it cannot catch up with it. Bethlehem Company invested in a shipyard company in Wuhan, which is called a joint venture to the outside world, but is actually wholly owned by the United States.

This treaty emphasizes that once Fang gains state power, the American Bethlehem Company will provide 50 million U.S. dollars in the form of interest-free loans to customize a batch of naval warships in accordance with China's requirements and jointly build a large shipyard in Shanghai.

.

The Americans are very satisfied with this contract, and Fang Jianxiong is also very satisfied with this contract. The perverted species of heavy patrols are the best to deal with little Japan. I don't want to fight you head-on, I just want to play with you at sea to break up the relationship.

You are dying. Who told you that you are from an island country? If you don't exploit this loophole to play to your death, what else would you call a time traveler?

Later historians called this contract the "New Bethlehem Contract"!~!
