Chapter 320 Turbulent Situation!
"What happened to this batch of arms escorted by Wei Tiangong and Shen Longyuan?"
After dinner, the three women and Zhao Tianming were left to talk in the hall. Ma Yongzhen and Yuan Dongshan were called to the room. Du Haisheng is now most concerned about the sales of this batch of Thomson submachine guns.
If the sales are good, the remaining more than 1,000 will be easy to do. If the sales are not good, it seems that more than 1,000 will only have their own ideal armed troops.
However, according to his idea, the army he wants to build is best to use the weapons made in his own arsenal. Although Thomson was popular all over the world at that time, and even for a long time, he had a considerable position, he was confident, relying on his own design and palm of munitions. Grip can definitely make a powerful weapon that is several times stronger than Thomson.
The key to the problem is - money!
Although his current career is booming, the Republic of China, the United States, and two places are developing at the same time, but this is only possible to build an arsenal and basic expenses.
After all, the operation of an arsenal is not a matter of a day or two, and he has no confidence now. At present, everything is to make money and have more money to put his dream into action.
"Hey hey, it's pretty good!"
Yuan Dongshan smiled cunningly and said that this person, once known as the "killing god", has gradually changed his mind since he integrated into the big family of Du's enterprises. From the beginning of taciturn, cold-faced killer with a murderous spirit, he gradually smiled subtly, saying When I spoke, I also knew how to be calm, and gradually learned to make fun of and humor.
"Uh... quite good? That is to say, this batch of arms is still very popular with those gangsters and rich people?
Du Haisheng saw that Yuan Dongshan and Ma Yongzhen looked complacent, and then smiled and asked.
"Naturally, in fact, we didn't publicize that batch of arms at all. We just told Liu Tianyu, Wang Yaqiao and others, and they directly digested all the weapons and ammunition!"
"Dongshan is right. For this matter, Zhao Tianming also made a scene with the two of us, saying that we were not interesting enough, and he didn't tell him if he had such a good weapon. I heard that we are going to come to the United States, and we are also determined to come together. It depends on how his daughter lives here. Whether he is wronged or not, I think he is not looking at his daughter, but staring at the next batch of arms.
"Yes..."
Ma Yongzhen took over the words and said something. She suddenly thought of something and said, "It seems that the two generals Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang have also shown a strong interest in the Thomson submachine guns you have brought, and even sent an adjutant to inquire. Although it was not sure whether to do it or not, it seems that The two of them are also moved. I'm afraid that the 1,500 Thomson you ordered will not meet the needs of Shanghai Beach at all. If Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang also join the purchase, I'm afraid it will double again. Compared with those imitations, even the previously smuggled Thomson, our batch is quite well made. Good!"
"Well..." Although Du Haisheng's heart is still on the surface, he is happy in his heart, but he is a little worried. He hesitates for a moment, thinks for a moment, and said, "Our arms don't have to worry about sales, but one thing, you two should remember, Ning There is no shortage. The object of sale must look at the character of the other party. Although they are all gangsters and of the same nature, they should also be the same. As I have said to the master, I would like to reiterate today that for those who usually domineering, bully men and women, and are notorious, not to mention arms and weapons, even a gun will never be allowed. Sell it to him."
After a pause, he said, "As for Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang... Let's wait. Even without them, according to this sales situation, we can fully digest and cooperate with the military. It's not as simple as those gang bosses and rich businessmen. It's not as we think, even if the two of them have helped us. It's the same. If they want it, give them less, which is a friendship... They don't charge money. They also think they have extended a helping hand to Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang when we are most in the most crisis and need help. If you want more, you have to think about it.
"Bear by the way, has there been any situation and changes in China recently?"
Du Haisheng was very puzzled. Like Xue Yue's regiment, it was made in Germany, which was the most well-equipped in the Republic of China, and the weapon was not as powerful as Thomson. There was also Sun Chuanfang. He was chased by Lao Jiang, and finally succumbed under the coercion of the other party and defended Shanghai, especially his Zhilu army, which was Lao Jiang. The army has already been greatly damaged, and it is said that his current military pay has to be paid by Lao Jiang, the president of the Nanjing government. If he wants to buy arms, where will he get the money, and Lao Jiang, who is naturally suspicious, will he let a person who once opposed him buy arms so generously? .
This series of questions flashed through Du Haisheng's mind like lightning. Because of this, he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with it and was more cautious.
Ma Yongzhen and Yuan Dongshan didn't understand why Du Haisheng asked this. Their expressions were obviously stagnant. They looked at each other and said with one voice, "Yes, in the past few months when you left, the changes in the situation are overwhelming. I'm afraid you will be surprised when you say it. Moreover, the current domestic situation is much more complicated than before you came. Japanese, Americans, British, Germans, every country is staring at the fat meat of the Republic of China. The Japanese are known all over the world for the purpose of invading China, and the United States, Britain, Germany, these countries are mainly interested in the precious wealth precipitated by China's 5,000-year history, and the most important is antiques!
"What about the others?"
Du Haisheng seemed to be a little indifferent to Ma Yongzhen's introduction. He asked without saying anything. The Japanese, it's not the right time yet. They won't start so soon. As for other countries, China's antiques have been lost overseas, including the Eight-Nation Alliance in the late Qing Dynasty, which plundered China too much priceless. Treasure, if you want to change this reality, you can rely on one or two people, which is tantamount to a dream.
"Other!" Seeing that there was no change in Du Haisheng's expression, Ma Yongzhen was stunned and said, "Lao Jiang has established a new national government in Nanjing and is in a state of confrontation with Wang Jingwei's government in Wuhan. Lao Jiang seems to be very dissatisfied with Xue Yue's current performance. He heard that he is trying to weaken the other party's military power step by step, and Moreover, Xue Yue has now joined the ranks of anti-Chiang and openly opposes the Nanjing government. General Sun Chuanfang announced the change of the army number and united with Xue Yue to oppose Chiang. Moreover, the two also expelled other old Jiang's cronies in Shanghai, built fortifications, and became antagonistic with the old Chiang government in Nanjing.
"Is it so serious?"
After listening to this, Du Haisheng couldn't help frown and his face was gloomy. Lao Jiang established the government of the Republic of China, which had already been his expectation. After all, this period of history has not changed because of his own appearance. He has not yet affected Lao Jiang and Wang Jingwei. As for Xue Yue, sooner or later, the two will turn against each other, which is also in advance. Or he didn't feel any surprise about the postponed thing, but Sun Chuanfang. This was an accident. In those years, Lao Jiang forced Xue Yue, and Xue Yue turned against Jiang. It was all his business. Now that Sun Chuanfang, who joined the army is more huge, the clear problem has become a little complicated, and even he dares not make an easy evaluation.
And now, he also understands why Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang are so interested in the Thompson submachine guns they smuggled. Lao Jiang's army is still dominant in the Republic of China. The strength of Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang alone does not seem to be enough to resist each other. Because of this, they value themselves so much. His own batch of arms and weapons, but Du Haisheng is still a little worried about doing business with the army.
The complexity is no less than a war. Although Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang know it well, the more so, the less he dares to agree easily.
It seems that it is necessary for me to go back to Shanghai in person!
Du Haisheng thought about the matter before and after, and finally made a decision. He had to go back in person. Even if he couldn't change anything, he had to do something.
"There is one more thing I have to tell you!"
Seeing Du Haisheng's surprise, Ma Yongzhen thought for a moment and couldn't help saying, "Because the Shanghai workers' armed picket touched the fundamental interests of some capitalists and foreign concessions, and Lao Jiang did not want to see the Communist International continue to become stronger and bigger, and in the future, it will form a confrontation with himself in May. In the middle of the month, he quietly came to Shanghai and joined forces with some big capitalists and foreign dignitaries to support Lao Jiang. They fought fiercely with the workers' picket team. However, because the weapons of the workers' armed picket team itself were at a disadvantage, and the other party also carefully planned to take over the picket's weapons in advance and kill them in advance. Wang Shouhua, the commander-in-chief of the picket, even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the armed picket team fought desperately, the disparity in strength still ended in failure. Moreover, Mr. Li Dazhao was also heroic in Shanghai!"
"What..."
Du Haisheng didn't listen. As soon as he heard it, he couldn't help but stand up. His eyes were full of anger. He jumped like thunder and said, "Bastard, he is simply an asshole. Damn it, I once wrote an article at that time and mentioned Lao Jiang's conspiracy to Shanghai, but he was temporarily pushed back because of the three missing incidents. I still I thought that this matter would pass like this, and history would change. Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that people were not as good as God, and the worker picket team still failed so completely. This matter is my fault. If I am negligent, I will remind you before coming, so that you can pay more attention to the movements of Lao Jiang and others, and secretly remind Wang Shouhua and Chen Duxiu. I'm afraid that things will not be like this until now. It seems that Lao Jiang and Wang Jingwei must unite to suppress the Communist International this time, but it's a pity for the tens of thousands of heroes and daughters!"
Du Haisheng said, and he couldn't help but have a sad face...
I sighed in my heart that I still underestimate the wheel of history. Although there was no "four-one-two" revolutionary coup, there was one more "five-two". If Wang Shouhua, Chen Duxiu and others had listened to even a little opinion and made some preparations early, they would never have lost so badly. If it were themselves At that time, he could remind Ma Yongzhen again, and maybe he could avoid some innocent casualties.
It's just that it has happened, and it is of little use. Moreover, now it seems that the domestic situation has reached a level of chaos, and things have developed in an unpredictable direction.
"I can't blame you for this matter. Chen Duxiu originally pursued the abandonment of the armed struggle. Lao Jiang asked him to hand over the gun, and he would hand over the gun. It's not bad for a person like him to die!"
Seeing Du Haisheng pounding his chest and staggering his feet, Ma Yongzhen stepped forward to comfort him. According to rumors, Chen Duxiu's ideas put forward in the workers' picket have long been criticized, but the other party's position is high and he does not get enough attention. In addition, even if it attracts enough attention, it depends on the weapons and combat effectiveness of the workers' picket team. The possibility of victory is also very small. It's nothing more than holding on for a few more days, but paying more life costs.
After a pause, he said, "The current Republic of China is already in a state of fragmentation. Lao Jiang's Nanjing government, Wang Jingwei's Wuhan government and Zhang Zuolin's Beijing Anguo Military Government confronted each other. Feng Yuxiang controls the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan. Yan Xishan in Shanxi, Longyun in Yunnan, Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui in Sichuan, and Li Jishen in Guangdong all occupy one side and are in a state of actual independence. After the Qing Party, the Kuomintang was no longer an alliance of workers, peasants, the petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie, but became a party of the big landlord and the big bourgeoisie, and divided into many factions. Although the factions were consistent in their anti-communist attitude, they did not give in to each other in fighting for party power, political power and military power. Now the Communist International is among these warlords, and it is difficult to move, and there are even cases of rebellion and revolutions joining the national government everywhere!"
When Du Haisheng heard this, he sat down feebly, nodded and said nothing, but his eyes were full of sharp light, staring at the front, as if he were thinking about a problem.
"Yes, there is one more thing. In September 1927, the Nanjing government, led by Li Zongren, joined forces with Wang Jingwei Group to force Lao Jiang to go down. The Wuhan government announced its merger with the Nanjing government. The factions of the Kuomintang in Nanjing, Shanghai and Wuhan formed the Central Special Committee and reorganized the Nanjing government, with Tan Yankai, Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, Cai Yuanpei and Li Liejun as standing members of the National Government.
Du Haisheng was stunned, nodded and answered. He did not show much interest in this matter. This matter is just a re-emergence of history, and time and history coincide, and there is no change. Besides, according to historical records, if there is no major change, in January 28, Lao Jiang will make a comeback with his own strength and grasp the overall situation again. Now it has entered October, and there are still three months left. During this period, even he doesn't know what will happen. It seems that some countermeasures should be taken...
Du Haisheng thought for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the secret road was as firm as iron...
