In the evening, the sky above the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was full of golden color, and a Cummins biplane flew past like a huge firebird soaring in the air.

The tired birds return to their nests, and the green mountains and rivers curl up smoke. It was the farmer's cooking.

Li Zongren sat upright on the plane and looked outside silently. He had just won the battle and was in a relaxed mood, just like the stretching sky outside.

There is a flight regiment in the Gui Army, with dozens of aircraft and hundreds of people. It is usually stationed in Nanning. Occasionally, Li Zongren also goes to the flight regiment to inspect the troops. Practice has proved that in addition to reconnaissance, aircraft are of great use. This conquest of Tang Jiyao's flight regiment has made a lot of contributions, and it has beaten the enemy from the air to the point of falling.

Most of them technicians who graduated from the flight school shortly after they were dispatched to flight instructors. Under their strict training, the Gui Army Flight Regiment inherited the experience of the South China Air Force, and the air force trained by the South China model can almost go sideways in the country.

Looking at the country, only Wu Peifu from North China and Zhang Zuolin from Northeast China have planes. As for combat power, you will only know after a comparison.

Li Zongren believed that his side would win the final victory. Similarly, the Allied Guangdong Army also had a flying force in Guangdong, and it formed earlier. The pilot experience was stronger than that here. After several confrontations, the gap between the two sides was gradually reduced.

Li Zongren realized the importance of airplanes. Pilots are a promising career. Why don’t your younger brothers go to the flight school?

Li Zongren thought to himself that although he was in a high position, the Li family did not ascend to heaven because of this. The old mother was plowing the fields in the countryside, and the Li family brothers and sisters did not have any official positions, which was a bit unreasonable.

The pilot is skilled in technology, the plane occasionally bumps, and it is quite stable. There are two fighter jets escorting next to the passenger plane. From the outside, the two fighters are like predators in the air, fierce and flexible. Unfortunately, the master is lonely and hard-working.

No one in the country can compare to me!

Li Zongren's face showed a hint of seizure. At first, he was a little resistant to the plane and felt that it was not very safe. Later, he gradually changed his attitude and actively advocated the development of the aviation industry in Guangxi.

"I wonder how Pingguo's aluminum industry is developing? German engineers in Nanning often say that aluminum is an important raw material for aircraft manufacturing. Now that Guangxi has built a steel plant and waited for the aluminum smelting factory to be completed, the aircraft factory has great hope!"

Li Zongren thought to himself, and the adjutant's words rang in his ears: "General, Guangzhou is urging tightly this time, something big must have happened."

"It is likely that the Northern Expedition will be launched."

Li Zongren did not look back, narrowed his eyes and looked down at the earth. He could not help but feel a sense of pride.

"Nanning is here! Ready to land." The pilot's reminder came from the cockpit in front.

A new industrial city appeared in Li Zongren's sight. The towering furnace of the iron factory now looks like a toothpick, with smoke rolling.

As the aircraft height decreases, the outline of the factory area gradually becomes clearer, and the continuous factory buildings are constantly enlarged like a map. The networks are like road networks that have been built soon, and the cars on them are walking around like boxes.

Looking down from the sky, Nanning in dusk was like a huge industrial monster, hiding huge energy. Li Zongren felt warm and felt intimate.

The fighter planes that had been escorting ahead fought in the air and hovered around the passenger plane. They did not complete the escort mission after the passenger plane landed.

The airport in the western suburbs of Nanning is a military airport, with high alertness, and the plane landing immediately makes the airport busy.

Li Zongren walked off the plane and looked back at the dim sky. It was better to feel down-to-earth!

"The matter is urgent. Guangzhou just urged you again. You will attend the special meeting tomorrow."

As soon as he got into the car, a soldier carrying a star on his shoulder in the car told Li Zongren that he was Huang Shaohong, the chief of staff of the Gui Army, second only to Li Zongren. "The final resolution on the Northern Expedition." He added in a low voice.

"Okay." Li Zongren nodded and saw a hint of enthusiasm in Huang Shaorong's eyes.

His years of military career trained Li Zongren's strong body. After getting off the plane, he did not feel tired. Instead, he explained to his old partner the reorganization of the Yunnan Army.

"Yunnan is similar to our Guangxi. The harsh environment has nurtured the mountain people's tough and hardworking xng style, but unfortunately it was destroyed by Tang Jiyao's smoke."

Li Zongren said regretfully.

When Kunming was reorganized, most of the Yunnan soldiers who saw were full of smoke on their faces, and most of them could not hold on for an hour. After a five-kilometer armed cross-country test, the troops became loose.

Li Zongren was greatly disappointed and wanted to select some officers and soldiers from the Yunnan Army to supplement it, so he had to select the children of the peasant family from the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guizhou.

"Haha. Your requirements are too strict. Not everyone else is like Gui Jun." Huang Shaohong said with a smile.

He also came from the old Gui army and knew very well the fatal harm of the big smoke to the army.

Tang Jiyao usually had no money to pay military salaries and used opium to charge. Before the war, the Yunnan Army had the habit of sucking in big smoke. At first, it was extremely brave, but once the smoke power was over, it became soft immediately.

"That's right. This time, one month after entering Yunnan, more than 100,000 troops played with Tang Jiyao. Until we reached Kunming City, we died or injured less than 500, but we wiped out more than 30,000 troops of Tang Jiyao. This is too easy to fight."

Li Zongren smiled again.

All the troops of the Guangdong Army were transferred back, and only the Gui army stayed to station in Yunnan. In the next step, Li Zongren was preparing to replace the second-line troops to station in Yunnan, and train the soldiers under his command with the blood of the bandits. The Gui army's jng sharpness swept the useful part of the Yunnan Army that he had finally selected and went north.

"The guys from the Logistics Department have cursed a lot, but they did a good job."

Huang Shaohong smiled and said that this attack on Tang Jiyao was actually a major test of the logistics supply of the Guangdong-Guangdong Army. It found out the problems and improved them to prepare for the magnificent Northern Expedition.

He added: "But Governor Ma Junwu seems not willing to expand the army again, for fear of affecting social production."

Thinking of something, he became excited again, "Yesterday, two large ships came from Fangchenggang. There were 20,000 tons of grain, 10,000 Nanhua stepping (machine) guns, and 50 million rounds. I heard that Nanhua is full of oil fields, and oil companies are recruiting workers in Guangxi one after another. Their salaries are high, and capable workers are scrambling to go to Nanyang. This is really rich, tsk tsk!"

Huang Shaohong looked relaxed, and his tone was unconcealed envy. He didn't know that when the oil company recruited workers in Guangxi, many workers had to work in distant Africa, rather than Nanhua, which was increasingly pulled into.

Over the past six months, the resources imported from Nanhua have been continuously generated. Stimulated by abundant materials, the Gui army's expansion speed has suddenly accelerated, and 100,000 people were recruited from the reserves, and the military camps in Nanning, Guilin, Liuzhou and other places have been heard everywhere.

"It is not necessarily true that we are rich and we are not rich. No one's money is not blown by the strong wind. However, with them as their backing, our Bagui children must create a bright future for this country."

Li Zongren said firmly, and a fire was burning in his heart.

"I've been sharpening my sword for four years, just wait for my eyebrows to be unsheathed! Tighten it, there's not much time left."

Li Zongren ordered.

Get out of the car and walk quickly towards Nanning Railway Station. A military train that was deliberately set off late was already ready, full of all kinds of arms and gunpowder, and a VIP carriage was specially added behind it.

The next day, accompanied by a ray of morning light in the east, Li Zongren walked out of Guangzhou Railway Station. After a night of rest, he was full of energy. A major from the Secret Service waited for a long time and soon took Li Zongren to the Zhigong Party headquarters in Yuexiu District.

When I walked into the conference room, the atmosphere was not as serious as I imagined. I saw a strange man sitting next to Lin Yimin, with a confident and calm expression and a sense of momentum.

Li Zongren was slightly stunned. He didn't know this person, who was he? Why did he appear in such an important place?

Situ Nan turned his head and saw a general in his thirties standing at the door. He was tall and strong, with a tiger's power, handsome appearance, clear eyes, and elegant and calm.

Is this Li Zongren?

Situ Nan smiled and nodded, thinking: I finally hope for you. Compared with Jiang Weiji's aggressive eyes, this Guizhou general who he had worked hard to cultivate was more peaceful and tolerant.

Li Zongren was an orthodox soldier with a decent style, without the bad habits of the old society, and did not like to exchange posts with others to worship brothers. He was in a high position and maintained the simple heart of the peasant children.

Situ Nan was worried about Jiang Weiji and was determined to get rid of him, but he had an indescribable appreciation for Li Zongren and kept paying attention to Li Zongren. Basically, Li Zongren's performance was not much different from that in history.

Seeing Situ Nan smiling, Li Zongren relaxed suddenly and felt familiar. The two met in the air, and saw kindness from each other's eyes at a distance of only three or four meters.

What is strange is that Situ Nan's smile is a bit indescribable hazy, but there is absolutely no malice, he must have.

"The general's power is still the same!" Lin Yimin stood up and walked over with a smile.

Li Zongren glanced at him and found no sign of the big boss Chen Jiongming. Deng Keng, chief of staff of the Guangdong Army, did not come either. It was a bit early and the meeting had not started yet.

"Boss Lin, the business is good!" Li Zongren said with a smile.

Lin Yimin was absent from Guangzhou Zhengfu and did not hold any official position. However, from the industrial construction of Guangzhou Nanning, the figure of this Chinese president of Meihua Company is inseparable from the figure of Meihua Company. Guangdong Bank and Guangxi Bank, which are in charge of Guangdong and Guangxi Finance, can almost not escape the control of Meihua Bank. It can be said that Lin Yimin is the shadow leader of the Guangzhou regime.

Now that Lin Yimin's figure appears at the special meeting of the Northern Expedition, Li Zongren was a little surprised, and when he turned around, he thought for granted, it was natural.

"This is Mr. Situ Nan who came from Nanhua and the special representative of the Nanhua Zhigong Party. Mr. Situ has always strongly supported our revolutionary cause."

Lin Yimin introduced that he looked at Situ Nan with some admiration and thought: If the young master had not been interested in politics and was unwilling to show up in public, it would have been easy to become a leader of a country.

"Mr. Situ?"

Li Zongren looked at Situ Nan, Lin Yimin and Situ Nan standing together, and immediately realized that the big boss who had been with great friendship for a long time was the man in front of him.

No wonder I felt familiar when I met this way. It turned out that from the perspective of temperament, Lin Yimin and Situ Nan had many similarities.

Well, from the perspective of appearance, deep eye sockets and high nose bridges are very consistent with the characteristics of mixed-race children. He heard from Lin Yimin that many things about Situ Nan were one of the few people who could get in touch with such secrets.

Now that the real person is standing in front of him, Li Zongren seems to have a lot to say, and the words turn into an sigh: "I didn't expect Mr. Situ to be so young!"

"Each of each other! The general is young and promising, and I feel a sense of sharpness from you."

Situ Nan responded with a smile, not hiding his appreciation for Li Zongren.
Chapter completed!
