Then, Zhao Zhenzhong remembered something and asked, "By the way, brother, Xiaotian's company needs thousands of young Chinese workers. If you set up an oil exploration and development company, you will need at least several thousands of Chinese workers. Can those people use it?"

After hearing this, Situ Meitang smiled: "Haha, if I had to use so many young Chinese workers a few years ago, I might not be able to get all of them in the eastern United States. Now, in addition to the manpower we just mentioned, you even need four or five thousand young Chinese workers, and I can get all of them for you."

Seeing that Zhao Zhenzhong was a little confused, Situ Meitang pointed at Zhou Tian, ​​and Zhou Hao explained: "It's all their credit for saying this. After my old man met him, according to the idea given by Zhou Xiaomei and Zhou brother, in recent years, many Chinese in China have taken advantage of the opportunity when East Samoa became a U.S. territory this year by obtaining the opportunity of East Samoa becoming a U.S. territory. In addition, the wives and children of these Chinese who have obtained American nationality in China have been approved to enter the United States one after another, and the Chinese in the eastern United States have reached nearly 70,000."

"A few years ago, although I, Anliangtang, developed in the eastern United States for more than 20 years and developed many halls in more than 30 cities, the total number of people is less than 40,000, and the number of Chinese in the entire United States is less than 100,000. Now, not only are the Chinese in the eastern United States close to 70,000, but the number of Chinese in the United States has reached more than 140,000. It is really hard for you brothers and sisters to come up with such a good idea."

Zhao Zhenzhong and others were not aware of the fact that in the original history, the total number of Chinese Americans was only more than 102,000 until 1930. Now, due to the opportunity when Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao took advantage of East Samoa as the territory of the United States, the number of Chinese Americans far exceeded the original level in history. The number of Chinese in New York, Boston and other places in the eastern United States alone was more than 60,000. With these newly added Chinese, it is not difficult for Situ Meitang to choose some young and reliable personnel from them.

"Hi, old man, don't praise it. It's nothing to say about this matter." Zhou Hao said indifferently, "We proposed this idea at that time just to take advantage of the opportunity when the US Congress had not yet approved East Samoa as a US territory. As for the location of East Samoa, it will definitely become US territory in the endorsement. As for the Chinese to obtain the certificate of endorsement from the local chief, it is just a reference to the precedent of all local residents who automatically obtained US nationality when the Hawaiian Islands became US territory in 1898."

Mr. Situ said happily, "Now that everyone understands it in a blunt way. However, earlier this year, when the brothers in the church learned that they had actually obtained American citizenship through the endorsement of the chief of East Samoa, they regarded you brothers and sisters as gods who could calculate."

"Brother, the increase in the number of Chinese in the United States is indeed conducive to the strengthening of our overseas Chinese power. However, whether it is to choose Chinese workers or Anliangtang, Zhigongtang chooses brothers from them, or even the Zhigongtang chooses new people from them, it is best to go through strict screening. We must choose practical and reliable personnel to avoid other forces from infiltrating into trouble." Zhao Zhenzhong reminded, "Although it is not the time when the royalist party and the revolutionary party were fighting before the Xinhai period, the struggle between the two parties in the country and the Communist Party is more intense and cruel. We must avoid the emergence of people we selected who aroused workers or brothers in the hall to cause trouble. This is the United States. If we do not pay attention, it will even further arouse the overall hostility of the American authorities towards us Chinese."

Situ Meitang thought about it carefully and said, "Brother, we should pay special attention to this. However, the problems of these Chinese people who have come from China in recent years should not be big. These people are mainly from Fujian and Guangdong, and they have no good impression of the current group of people in China who are brave in internal fighting."

"How could this happen?" Zhao Zhenzhong was a little surprised.

"These Chinese from Fujian and Guangdong have all experienced the reign of Jingcun and Sun Yat-sen. Back then, Jing existed in Fujian and the implementation of good governance in Guangdong was also considered a blessing to the hometown. However, after Sun Yat-sen drove Jingcun away from Guangzhou in the 11th year of the Republic of China, he not only overturned Jingcun's good governance, but also ignored the people's strength at that time. He insisted on the Northern Expedition and increased the exploitation of the people. A very simple example is that Jing existed in Fujian and Guangdong implemented a ban on smoking, but in order to increase income, Sun Yat-sen and others actually re-opened smoking bans and allowed opium to become popular. Compared with the two sides, these people naturally had no good impression of Sun Yat-sen and his disciples."

"In the 13th year of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen and his disciples suppressed the merchant group, burning nearly half of the Guangzhou city, causing heavy losses to the local overseas Chinese and other people. In addition, the two parties began to fight in the 16th year of the Republic of China, the Guangzhou riots and the subsequent forces fought for territory, the local people have experienced disasters. These Chinese people who later arrived in Fujian and Guangdong, which later arrived in the United States, basically have no good feelings for the two parties in the country. It is precisely because of the support of these later Chinese people and the opposition of Sun Yat-sen's actions by Sun Yat-sen, that we suppressed the forces in the Zhigong Hall that were inclined to Sun Yat-sen, established the Zhigong Party, and elected Sun Yat-sen's opponent to become the first prime minister of our party."

After Situ Meitang explained, he continued: "Although these later Chinese should not have much problem, the little brother is right, we should still have a good understanding."

Zhao Zhenzhong was relieved and smiled and said, "We are just preventing problems before they happen. After all, these young Chinese workers who entered our factory can become technical backbone forces after the founding of the People's Republic of China in Nanyang. When people who entered the Zhigong Hall, especially those of the People's Republic of China, may play an important role in the founding of the People's Republic of China in Nanyang in the future. It is better for us to be prepared in advance than to make up for problems in the future."

Situ Meitang was a little moved: "I really admire the old man, the little brother," he said.

"Brother, we should not be polite. At present, due to the US's anti-Chinese bill, we will definitely not be able to develop and strengthen industrial power in the United States, and the domestic forces are in constant wars, which is not a good choice. Therefore, the three of us have come up with some alternatives." Zhao Zhenzhong will now want to build a factory in Australia and the Philippines and Situ Meitang. If these plans are implemented in the future, they will definitely not be concealed on the broad side. It is better to let the Hongmen master know now and see if he can get some help. Moreover, if the Philippines and Australia really establish production bases, it will also provide a lot of help for the implementation of the Nanyang National Construction Plan. Of course, Zhao Zhenzhong does not mention confidential matters such as secret development of submarines.

Situ Meitang was shocked again after hearing what Zhao Zhenzhong said about the business plan prepared in Australia and the Philippines. The old man smiled excitedly and said, "Little brother is indeed a big deal. Old man, I feel that my brain is really not enough when I hear what you said. If all of what you said can be realized, we not only have the steel and metallurgy industry, but also the shipbuilding industry, which is a remarkable thing."

"At present, the steel industry is an important criterion for measuring a country's strength. The limited steel output in our country is simply incomparable to the great powers, and there is also a lack of a large number of professional and technical talents. Several of us proposed this plan, just to find another way out if the domestic conditions are not met and the United States does not allow it. If this plan can be implemented smoothly, we can not only obtain sufficient steel, non-ferrous metals and other resources to support the founding of the country and the Nanyang Kingdom, but also train a large number of backbone forces who master professional technology." After explaining, Zhao Zhenzhong reminded: "However, we can only limit the real intention of this plan to a few of us and our brothers to know. For the outside world, we only claim that it is for commercial purposes."

Situ Meitang heard Zhao Zhenzhong's reminder and said, "I am of course happy that little brother looks down on me, but Jingcun and Brother Huang may still have to talk about it."

"These two must know," Zhao Zhenzhong nodded in agreement, "but the fewer people you need to know, the better. Moreover, on the surface, the Zhigong Party, Huamei Investment, Xiaotian, Xiaohao and others cannot have any direct relationship, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble. Of course, the brother can act as an intermediary, and we only contact the brother. If there is anything that the Zhigong Party needs to help us, it must also be proposed through the brother."

Situ Meitang can be said to be from a martial arts world. Although he created the situation of Anliangtang in the United States and promoted the establishment of the Zhigong Party, he lacked a clear understanding of the intensity and cruelty of party struggles and even national competitions. Therefore, after listening to Zhao Zhenzhong's words, he asked in confusion: "Are you a little too cautious?"

"Brother, I am not too cautious." Zhao Zhenzhong said seriously: "If our plans in Australia and the Philippines are implemented, it will definitely be a considerable industry. If we know that we are related to the Zhigong Party, and the Zhigong Party's disciples who oppose Sun Yat-sen at home seek to establish a country in South China, our industry will be banned by the great powers. I am ugly, please don't mind. If there is really an unfavorable situation, we will cut off all exchanges with Zhigong and Zhigong Party."

Although Situ Meitang was a little unacceptable for a while, thinking about Zhou Tian and others having always helped Anliangtang very much. Zhao Zhenzhong and others are now trying their best to save the country through industry, and also providing such great help to Zhigongtang and Zhigong Party. Moreover, what the other party said was not too much, and there was no reason for it on his own, so he nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Situ Meitang had no objection, Zhao Zhenzhong breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Although we also want to start our own shipbuilding company, we may not be able to build our own ships in the next two or three years. During this period, for us, we must transport the many materials purchased from the United States back to China to rescue the victims. For my brother's Zhigongtang and Zhigong Party, we also need to accumulate materials to prepare for the implementation of the future Nanyang National Construction Plan. Therefore, we will set up an ocean transportation company in the United States, and first purchase or lease a few ocean ships for transportation. I suggest that my brother also ask the Zhigong Party to set up an ocean transportation company to be responsible for the transportation of materials."

Situ Meitang pondered for a moment, and felt that what Zhao Zhenzhong said was indeed reasonable, so he nodded and said, "It does make sense, but this is not something I can decide alone. I will discuss it with Brother Huang. In addition, if we both sides set up Ocean Shipping Company separately, wouldn't it be a waste?"

"It should not be wasted." Zhao Zhenzhong explained, "After the industries in Australia, the Philippines and other places are opened in the future, the ships of the transportation company will be in the United States, Australia, the Philippines and the country, and it is unlikely that there will be free time. The Zhigong Party wants to implement the Nanyang National Construction Plan, and it also needs special transportation forces, and at the same time lay a solid foundation for the development of naval power after the founding of the People's Republic of China."

Situ Meitang thought that it was true, so he stopped mentioning this matter and instead said: "Before returning to the west, Brother Huang had jointly called E-Sports Cun with me, urging him to go to the United States to discuss matters about the Party Affairs of the Americas and the founding of the South China Sea. Jingcun called back and said that he was preparing to go. If there was no other situation, Jingcun would probably be able to the United States in the middle of next month. At that time, you guys, you guys, have a good talk with Jingcun and give us some ideas."

"It is of course a good thing to see Mr. Chen, but it's better to give it an idea." Zhao Zhenzhong explained: "The Zhigongtang and the Zhigong Party have their own rules, so we outsiders cannot talk nonsense."

Situ Meitang knew that Zhao Zhenzhong was not referring to the committee, but the truth was the case. Thinking about the situation where the Zhigongtang is now full of halls and the Zhigong Party is scattered everywhere after its establishment, and it is difficult to command in a unified manner, Situ Meitang couldn't help but have a headache.
