Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is a raging war in the northwest, and there are also huge crowds of people in front of the bay in Qinzhou, Guangxi.

    After seven years of development, the former small fishing port has become one of the largest hub seaports on the southern coast.  Putting aside boring economic data, Qinzhou alone has more than 10,000 dock workers of various types.

    , with more than a thousand factories and shops of various sizes, the Qinzhou Bay Shipyard, the pride of Guangxi people, second only to Mawei and Guangzhou, is also located here.

    More than 10,000 people were scattered in the northwest frontier and the desert, but they were all crowded together at the seaport and pier, which made the soldiers in the Southwest Guard District sweat profusely. Lu Yuguang and Ma Jiyi, who were in their thirties,

    While directing order, he craned his neck to look at the empty sea, and said with an impatient expression: "Dadyou think the commander-in-chief's ship hasn't arrived yet?"

    Both of them were among the first batch of Southwest students to study in Europe and the United States in 2012. After studying in the United States for three years, they entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point as National Defense Force cadets, but they also missed the European War.  So two

    The people felt regretful and wanted to take advantage of Yang Qiu's visit to Guangxi to find a way to let them go to the northwest war zone to gain military exploits.  Lu Rongting didn't know what his son and adopted son were thinking, so he glared and said, "Look at you

    They!  No matter how old you are, you are still so calm. Now that you have joined the army, you should learn to be calm.  Do you think it¡¯s easy to clean up the Northwest Barbarians?  I tell you, this battle won¡¯t be over in a year or two.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Look brother Miao learn more!  Don¡¯t think that after drinking foreign ink for a few years, your tail will rise to the sky.  "

    Lu Rongting was wearing a Chinese robe, his face was red and his forehead was shining.  There is no trace of his early wanderings at all.

    As for the Miao brothers he spoke of, they were Miao Luo¡¯s brother Miao Yuan.  Since Song Jiaoren's death, he put down all his efforts to run business in Ansheng, Guangxi, and took over the Qinzhou Bay Shipyard and Shipyard under his sister's name.

    Industries such as Southwest Rubber Company not only search for talents from all over the world through the American Zhigongtang, but also invite many technical personnel from the United States.  After the signing of the "Plum Blossom Agreement" the year before last year, the use of Britain and France to support teachers

    Chance and Lu Rongting discussed and funded the construction of Guilin University, Liuzhou Business School and Nanning Technical School in one go.  He has become a hot industrialist in Guangxi and even the whole country.  Seeing Lu Rongting now

    He taught his son a lesson and said with a smile: "Governor Lu is too polite. If the two brothers want to learn from you, they should learn from you. Without your strategizing, our Guangxi would not be as prosperous as it is today."

    Lu Rongting¡¯s eyes were full of excitement when he heard that Miao Yuan said ¡°our Guangxi¡±.  People have reached his age.  I am already thinking about future generations.  He originally had his sights set on Yang Qiu, and even set up Miao Luo

    That¡¯s what I¡¯m thinking.  Now Yang Qiu has become a pillar that can hold up the whole country and even the Far East. If you help him look after the land of Guangxi and Southwest, his sons can live peacefully as long as they don't make big mistakes.

    It is absolutely not a problem, so he has spent all his efforts to develop Guangxi over the years.  Although his foundation is not as good as other provinces, he used his reputation in Nanyang to actively contact Chinese businessmen to return to the country to invest, and also borrowed

    While the European War stimulated the development of traditional industries such as camphor, mosquito coils, medicinal materials, and tiger balm, it also developed light chemical industries such as soap and salt-alkali, as well as resource industries such as cement, aluminum plants, coal, and mining.

    It¡¯s booming.  Finally rely on these means.  Guangxi's fiscal and taxation has more than tripled in 7 years!  Exceeding the national average, and with the completion of the southwest railway network, Qinzhou, located at the end of the coast

    The bay is even more likely to surpass Guangzhou and become the largest port in the south.

    Not only that, Guangxi¡¯s agriculture, forestry, water and animal husbandry have made great progress under his governance.  First, they bought improved Champa rice seeds from the French and promoted them throughout the province, and then followed Yang Qiu's suggestion and strictly ordered all places to do it.

    The captive poultry industry.  Although these all contain strong paternalistic administrative orders.  But it has really changed the face of traditional agriculture. Food can not only satisfy the entire province, but also supply a large amount of food to the country for reserve.

    , Guangxi bacon was once included in the Allied Powers¡¯ priority military supplies!

    Especially when Yang Qiu asked Miao Luo to invest in the rubber planting industry, it was even faster. If Yang Qiu hadn't issued a fatal order to regulate the planting area and quantity for fear of damaging the environment, the entire province would not have been covered.

    question.  Now the first batch of rubber plantations has reached the harvest period, and this alone can earn tens of millions every year.  Who among the growers who purchased shares or directly participated in the joint venture didn't laugh with their eyes narrowed and their ears red?  remove

    In addition to industry and commerce, he also actively responded to Yang Qiu¡¯s request for all provinces to do a good job in infrastructure construction related to the national economy and people¡¯s livelihood. He recruited civilians to carry out large-scale construction projects. The two railways in Guangxi¡¯s southwest railway network were all built in less than four years.

    Not to mention, many roads were built, and cars were purchased with their own money to set up the Guangxi Automobile Transportation Company. Finally, through Miaoyuan, Americans were invited to select sites, design and build five dams and power plants in one go.

    Now Nanning,Lizhou, Guilin and Liuzhou have all been able to use electric lights, and they have begun to radiate to small cities.

    Although many of them were made possible by state financial subsidies, he must be the first to take credit.

    Politically, he also actively supported Yang Qiu. Last year, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui were involved in land reform, and Liang Qichao also initiated impeachment. When he learned about it, he immediately sent a telegram to contact the southwest legislators to support Yang Qiu. Afterwards, he not only took the initiative

    When implementing the Chengdu City Bill in Guangxi, he also publicly scolded Liang Qichao in newspapers as a lackey of conservative landlords and old money.  So when I heard Miao Yuan say that he wanted to learn from him, I felt secretly proud, but there was a deliberate look on his face.

    Ban Ban pretended to be angry and said, "Don't I deserve to be Brother Miao's brother?"

    Miao Yuan knew what he meant and laughed. Before he could say anything, a woman's laughter suddenly came from behind him: "How could it be unworthy? Lian Chenhua often said that without Mr. Lu, there would be no Guangxi and Xi'an.

    It¡¯s today in the south.  "

    The voice made Miao Yuan happy, and he quickly turned around and shouted: "Sister!"

    "elder brother!"

    Under the protection of the guards, Miao Luo, who was wearing a light-sleeved dress and a long dress, appeared behind the crowd with her child in her arms.  Lu Rongting didn't expect Miao Luo to come. He dared to joke with Miao Yuan, but he didn't dare to do it in front of the future first lady.

    Presumably, quickly said: "Lu Rongting has seen his wife."

    "Governor Lu is out of town, Luo'er hasn't thanked you yet." Miao Luo's eyes were light, and when he said this, he couldn't help but blush on his cheeks.  Lu Rongting was even more proud of his then wife

    The route was finally on the right track. He chuckled and said, "Ma'am, you are joking. You and the Vice President are in love with each other. Lu is just following the trend." Miao Yuan didn't expect his sister to come, but just as he was about to ask, someone in the distance

    A long-awaited loud whistle came from the sea.

    This whistle made Miao Luo¡¯s eyes turn red.  This time Yang Qiu went to Paris to attend the peace conference, and the journey lasted for half a year. He had long been eager to live with his fingers crossed every day, so

    I heard that Qinzhou is the first stop when I come back.  You might as well bring your children here to wait for him in the name of visiting their uncle.

    The sound of the whistle also made the crowd who had received the news early and came here to greet them became restless. Looking around, they saw several big ships with numerous gun barrels suddenly appearing on the bay!  Even Lu Rongting was frightened

    Jump.  Although he attended the launching ceremony of the Anhai-class ship in Xinmawei early last year, the spectacular sight of three Anhai-class ships sailing into the bay at the same time is still extremely shocking!  Even weirder.

    In addition to the three Anhai-class ships, there are actually two large warships with more gun barrels If it weren't for the Republic of China naval flag on the mast, I'm afraid he would have requested shore artillery bombardment.

    "Dad. Those are the two battleships the navy just bought!" Lu Yuguang introduced the navy's purchase of battleships to his father. When he heard that Britain deliberately broke the contract and sold four battleships to Japan, he became very angry.

    He snorted a few times.

    Lu Rongting was dissatisfied, but the harbor was deafening.  Compared with big cities like Shanghai, although Qinzhou has developed into a large port and even built several 100,000-ton deep-water terminals,

    Since Britain and France restricted the navy to only come a few times a year, and they were still small ships, when the battleships appeared in the bay for the first time, everyone was frightened by their huge bodies and ferocious cannons.  but

    When he saw the flag clearly, he clenched his fists and cheered.

    Becausethis is my own armored ship!

    When the five capital ships entered the bay one after another, they crossed the Arctic Ocean, detoured around Chile, and finally crossed the vast Pacific to avoid sight. The voyage almost circled the earth, carrying the country's manufacturing industry.

    Under the protection of 10 cruisers and destroyers, the Soaring Hope fleet also sailed into the bay and began to dock.  Even if Qinzhou Pier is expanded and expanded, it is still very difficult to squeeze in 16 giant ships and 5 battleships at once.

    Crowded.  Especially those giant ships, almost all of which exceed 20,000 tons, with deep drafts and hulls that indicate they have been sailing for a long time, make dock workers secretly guess their identities.

    As the fleet all entered the bay, naval destroyers quickly closed the entire bay, and the Coast Guard immediately announced that Qinzhou Bay was temporarily closed to navigation.

    "Chenhua"

    As soon as Yang Qiu stepped off the warship, he heard a familiar call and saw Miao Luo standing on the dock with her child in her arms.  His eyes looked at him tenderly, as beautiful as a lily

    That look made him a little excited. He ran over to pick up the child, and then held her deeply in his arms.

    Song Ziqing, Zhang Xiaozhun and other people who came back together were not surprised, but others were still a little moved.  After all, this is the Republic of China, and it is also Qinzhou, Guangxi, which has a relatively conservative atmosphere. Even Xiao Yangqiu is confused.

    ??One finger, drooling and wide-eyed, thinking who is this guy?  Why learn to hug your mother and not let go?  The looks of surprise, astonishment and even envy around him made Miao Luo suddenly wake up.

    , hurriedly pushed Yang Qiu away with a blushing face, grabbed the child to cover it up and said, "Okay, okay, what does it look like."

    "Let's go, let's take you to meet someone." Yang Qiu also knew that she had a tender face. He smiled slightly and pulled her and Song Ziqing and others to walk to the icebreaker behind without waiting for a word.

    Miao Luo was just curious about who he wanted to see when he saw Bingwen and Liu Mingzhao coming off the boat.  She knew both of them, especially Bingwen, whom Yang Qiu regarded as his younger brother. Liu Mingzhao also accepted Yang Qiu's kiss.

    A young officer who was tutoring himself, he, Long Yun and others came to attend classes almost every night before they went abroad.

    "Bingwen (Liu Mingzhao), the first batch of non-commissioned officers of the National Defense Forces, has completed his mission and comes to report!"

    "Welcome back to the team!"

    Yang Qiu couldn¡¯t help but feel a sore nose at the loud voice and upright posture. Looking at their tired faces and wrinkled clothes, you can tell how much hardship they suffered along the way!  What's more, it's him

    Their fearlessness and sacrifice brought back the coveted high-end manufacturing equipment to the country!  It can be said that they single-handedly improved the manufacturing industry in the Republic of China for ten years!  It gave the Republic of China an opportunity to catch up with the world.

    Based on this alone, any reward is light, so Yang Qiu felt that a salute was not enough to express gratitude, so he put down his right arm and suddenly took a step forward to hug the two of them, patted the back hard and said:

    "Thank you for your hard work! Thank you!"

    The hug made both Bingwen and Liu Mingzhao a little sluggish. When the thanks rang in their ears, a warm current suddenly spread from their hearts to their whole bodies. At that moment, they both thought of Chen Yuqiu and Shu, who were like ice sculptures.

    Hundreds of cadets and sailors died for the plan.

    When the three of them separated, Bingwen immediately dodged half of his body: "Commander-in-Chief, look who this is." Song Ziqing was the first to react, his eyes widened as if he couldn't believe it

    "General Hakan?".
