February 10, 1941.

Hainan, Haikou.

At the port, there were crowds of people.

When the "Kijima" battleship led the "Hyuga", "Fengxiang", "Aoba", "Jagu" and other battleships slowly sailed in front of the port with a huge hull with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, the crowd suddenly calmed down, and then they cried and howled.

...

"We finally have a navy again."

On the innermost side of the port, under the layers of protection of the elite guards with live ammunition, a group of people standing on the dock put down their telescopes and couldn't help but sigh.

"This is not just a naval problem. How have we ever had battleships before? How have we ever had aircraft carriers? How have we ever had heavy cruisers? Although the number is a little smaller, this strength is much stronger than before."

"It's that 'Hyuga' is a little older..."

"Don't be picky! Although the Hinata is old, its displacement is even greater than the Kirishima. What's more, even if it is old? How could we have such a giant ship in China? Even when the Beiyang Navy's "Zhenyuan" and "Dingyuan" were shocked by East Asia, the displacement was only a few thousand tons."

"That's right, if you don't agree, you'll get this one. I don't want you to get a better one, even a destroyer."

...

"Jiansheng, I think you haven't spoken. Do you have any worries?"

Listening to the chattering of the crowd around him, Li Zongren was more concerned about the old guy's mood... Since the two met, he had never seen Bai Chongxi smile.

"What can you worry about?" Bai Chongxi breathed out a long sigh: "It's just a little depressed panic. The war is getting different from before."

"Yes." Li Zongren glanced at the fleet slowly passing through the strait again. "Even warships can be captured. When I first heard it, I almost thought that someone was talking in a sleep, even if it was confirmed later, I couldn't believe it... It was simply horrifying."

"You haven't heard it even more terrifying." The eyes slipped over the giant ship in front of you, and Bai Chongxi remembered some of the things that Qin Wei had said to him before, especially the scene where the boy was holding a pen and wandering in front of him... in one week, he could kill six billion people! Is this true or false? But even if it is fake, it is probably limited? Those people can capture a fleet alive if they create a weapon... What Qin Wei told him before, is the "nuclear" weapon that the Americans have begun to study, indeed as powerful as they say? In an instant, they can smooth out a city? But even if it can't reach it, they can't

So what if it is this power? It can eliminate all the personnel of a fleet in a few blinks of eyelids, which is already scary. At least in the moment, whoever masters this weapon and who can produce this weapon on a large scale can gain a huge advantage on the battlefield, and even directly determine the victory or defeat of both sides. Isn’t this to mean that future wars will no longer depend on the command level of the general? The development of such a war form will inevitably make them, the elderly, become increasingly unfamiliar with the battlefield. Otherwise, with the level of Qin Wei, how can they become a first-level general? Even a platoon leader is not qualified.

"The Japanese were scared this time." Li Zongren did not hear Bai Chongxi's thoughts. Seeing that Bai Chongxi seemed to be a little confused. He continued: "Not to say that the army was frightened, Anan Wei hurriedly disbanded the newly-concentrated troops. He heard that the navy was also very scared. The fleets that they had revenge had already set off, but were hurriedly called back. Now their fleets have hid back to the port and are still producing anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns like crazy..."

"Can't you be afraid?" Bai Chongxi sneered, "The reason why they are so arrogant is that the navy is better than us. But now they can capture their fleet in one go. If they come a few more times, their family will probably be gone. And the navy is no longer there, and their army will be like rootless duckweed. Sooner or later, they will be finished. By that time, they will have to be slaughtered!"

"Cheng Chiang is so proud this time." Li Zongren hit Bai Chongxi's shoulder and whispered to Chiang Kai-shek, who was in a state of spirit in the center.

"Of course he was proud. He got a fleet for nothing, especially an aircraft carrier..." Bai Chongxi snorted coldly, "This is like getting an airport that can move freely. What is the Japanese most afraid of us now? Isn't it the Air Force? Such an aircraft carrier can at least be worth destroying ten of their divisions."

"The ten divisions are not as good as Qin Wei's leg. Jiansheng, you have a good relationship with Qin Wei. Do you think you can..." Li Zongren asked in a low voice again.

"That boy is very evil." Bai Chongxi glanced at Qin Wei who was following Lao Jiang without saying a word, as if he was a wooden man, and shook his head slightly, "He would not get involved in our affairs. Especially now, just by relying on the credit in his hands, even if he did not make contributions in the future, he would still be invincible. Even if he rebelled Lao Jiang, at most, Jiang would have removed his authority and would never dare to hurt him at all... Just like before, this boy negotiated with **, ignored the results of Zhang Wenbai and the others' previous efforts, and directly divided a large part of Brother Timuxin's weapons to **, which made Lao Jiang very angry and almost settled the score with him. But now? Hasn't he been promoted to a higher level? He went along his way with the negotiations with **, and did not say a bad thing."

"With such a fleet, Chiang Kai-shek is certainly easy to talk to. But it's a pity that if we get the help of Qin Wei, our Guizhou clan will be in great hope." Li Zongren sighed. What kind of person is he? Of course, you can see what Qin Wei's position is. He is not even willing to see the dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so how can he see the Kuomintang split again and again? But seeing Qin Wei make the credit that can always make people's hearts twitch and keep jumping up, he really wants to pull people over... At least now, a Qin Wei can't say that a half of Chiang Kai-shek's Huangpu. This is not an exaggeration. You must know that Qin Wei is holding the air force in one hand and the navy in the other... Even if Chen Shaokuan and Chen Jiliang dare not ignore Chiang, they will never dare to play with Qin Wei. They can't afford to offend! If the bomb did not hit the Japanese head and hit them, wouldn't it?

"Actually, you can try to contact us first, but I can't. Don't think that I'm familiar with that guy, but I know that he has been guarding against me... I have to find someone else to contact him." Bai Chongxi knew Li Zongren's thoughts. In fact, he was more willing to expand the power of the Gui system than Li Zongren. He could understand Qin Wei. Now is not the right time.

"Look for someone else?" Li Zongren was happy. It would be good if he could contact him, but he was afraid that he would not be able to contact him: "Who is suitable? I heard that Qin Wei has always had fewer contacts with others, and unless necessary, he stayed at home most of the time..."

"I think Ji Kuan should be fine!" Bai Chongxi said.

"Ji Kuan? But he is now the chairman of Zhejiang Province. What kind of cross-link can he have with Qin Wei? Besides, he has different ideas from us." Li Zongren was stunned. Ji Kuan was Huang Shaohong, the second-ranked three giants in the former Guangxi clan. He established the new Guangxi clan with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. But later, the new Guangxi clan was defeated repeatedly in the war with Lao Chiang and suffered heavy losses, which made Huang Shaohong have the idea of ​​reconciliation with Chiang Kai-shek. He believed that the new Guangxi clan had been in development for several years, but the result was not good, and it would definitely be impossible to compete with Chiang Kai-shek for the world.

Since that's the case, why not take this opportunity to take advantage of the influence of the Guangxi clique and use your own means to go outside. You can definitely make a name for yourself or indirectly help the Guangxi clique. Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others are unwilling to force others to make trouble, so they agree to leave... After that, Huang Shaohong left Guangxi and was sent here by Jiang Jiang for a while, and even though he was also very generous, he was fed up. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Shaohong was first sent by Jiang Jiang to cooperate with Yan Xishan and became a deputy in the Second War Zone.

Chief Ling was later sent to Zhejiang to serve as the provincial chairman. As a result, not long after he took office, he was scolded by Chiang Kai-shek. In the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek accused Huang Shao-hung of being in charge of "poor political achievements and infamous reputation" in Zhejiang, and asked him to take care of himself and "pay attention." This telegram made Huang Shao-hung confused and ignorant. He could never imagine that he offended the supreme commander somewhere. He drove to Wuhan and submitted his resignation to Chiang. Before he could resign, Chiang's words made him suddenly enlightened: "You have been fighting in Shanxi last year.

When he came back, he told everyone that the Eighth Route Army had good military discipline, was good at guerrilla warfare, and was brave in war. How to mobilize the masses, mobilize the people, and cooperate with the military and civilians to join the war of resistance, etc. Party departments at all levels, Huangpu officers, and local gentlemen were naturally dissatisfied when they heard it, and they wanted to talk about your gossip." As a result, Huang Shaohong finally understood why he became "famous", but he was still angry... He just did a good job, but he couldn't praise him. But he was still angry, and the chairman of Zhejiang Province had to continue doing it, so Huang Shaohong is still staying in Jinhua, Zhejiang.

"The more this happens, the less people's attention will be. "Bai Chongxi said in a deep voice: "Ji Kuan is trustworthy. Although he has established an arsenal and some militia in Zhejiang, Chiang Kai-shek has been watching it all the time, and in the end he will definitely be in vain... Since that's the case, why not ask him to return to the Central Committee to serve?"

"Central appointment? Then we have to find him a good position..." Li Zongren thought about it and felt that Bai Chongxi's proposal was good. After all, Huang Shaohong was not an ordinary person. He had always had a relationship with them and had a high status. He came forward to win over Qin Wei, which was enough to show his importance to Qin Wei. But if Huang Shaohong was asked to return to the central office, he could not be an ordinary position, nor could he be idle. Otherwise, if Huang Shaohong himself was not talking about him, they would not be able to get over it.

"What do you think of the position of Minister of the Ministry of Food?" Bai Chongxi suddenly asked again: "This is an extremely important department, but not particularly important. It not only sets off Ji Kuan's status, but also prevents Chiang Kai-shek from being alert."

"Minister of Grain?" Li Zongren thought for a while and nodded again. Of course, he knew this newly established department. Due to frequent wars, there were serious shortages of military rations. Although there were occasional supply of chickens, ducks, fish and eggs, after all, it only took one or two years to develop, and it could only be regarded as occasionally giving everyone a tooth sacrifice. Therefore, in the middle of last year, the National Government specially established the "National Food Administration" directly under the Executive Yuan, and was organized by Lu Zuofu, who founded the Minsheng Company. This Lu Zuofu was not simple. In the autumn of 1938, Wuhan was lost, and a large number of people retreated to Chongqing and nearly 100,000 tons of materials were transported by Tunji Yichang. It was unable to be transported away and was constantly bombed by Japanese aircraft. Lu Zuofu concentrated all the ships and most of the business personnel of the Minsheng Company, and carried them in sections, and carried them day and night, regardless of the Japanese aircraft bombing. After 40

The battle of heaven finally transported all the gathered personnel and materials to Sichuan before the fall of Yichang. This rush to operate was noticed, and it was later known as the "Dunkirk" of China. However, despite Lu Zuofu and others' great efforts, the shortage of military rations has not changed. To this end, the Executive Yuan decided to establish a higher-level Ministry of Grain. In addition to pursuing those who raised rice prices during the war, Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Jiangxi were listed as the five first-class grain political situations in the country and fully controlled them. In addition, in addition to awarding farmers who supply and export military rations, farmers were forced to collect grain... This position is indeed extremely important, but on the other hand, in this era when the military committee is fully in charge of the overall situation, it is difficult for the Ministry of Grain that only faces local grain collections to affect the situation like other departments, and it will definitely not arouse Chiang's concerns.

"I think it's OK. I'll contact Ji Kuan when I go back."

"I have to tell Ji Kuan that Qin Wei is very treacherous, so be careful..."

"I naturally know this, but with Ji Kuan's ability, I don't know how to draw any tricks."

"It would be fine if he could make a trick. If he couldn't make it, he would turn over the table..."
