Fuzhou.

In an ordinary restaurant by the sea.

A wealthy businessman and a well-dressed middle-aged man sat opposite each other, with a table of sumptuous food and wine in front of them.

The middle-aged man had a square face, a bright look in his eyes, and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.

He was also a soldier.

"Brother Houfu, why don't you eat? Although the food here is a bit simple, the taste of these seafood is still very good.

Seeing the middle-aged man sitting upright and not moving his chopsticks, the rich businessman smiled and said

"Boss Liu, I don't like to talk nonsense and I like to be straightforward.

You suddenly came to me today, is it really to treat me to a meal?

You should tell me your purpose first, so that I can decide whether to eat or not."

The middle-aged man was unmoved, staring at the rich businessman, and said in a deep voice.

The rich businessman was a little stunned, then smiled and said helplessly:"Brother Houfu still has this character. Even though he has become the Minister of the Navy and entered the officialdom, he has not changed."

No, the middle-aged man called Brother Houfu is Chen Shaokuan, the current Minister of the Navy of the National Government.

Chen Shaokuan can be said to be one of the few naval talents in the government.

His proposition for the navy is to train people first and then build ships.

He has watched many European naval battles and has a deep understanding that aircraft carriers are the trend of the future.

These concepts coincide with Jiang Fan's.

However, the government does not attach importance to the navy.

Even if it attaches importance to it, it is useless.

The navy is a real gold-eating beast. A small"107" battleship can easily cost hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of oceans.

Chiang Kai-shek would invest huge sums of money in the navy unless he was crazy.

However Even so, under Chen Shaokuan's leadership, the navy still developed vigorously.

It also cultivated a lot of naval talents.

He came to Fuzhou this time just to see how the Fuzhou Naval Academy was run.

At this time, a fellow villager came to the door.

That is the wealthy businessman named Liu.

The family of this wealthy businessman named Liu has been very kind to him since he was a child, and they also have some favors.

So he also chose to come for dinner.

But he also understood very well that the other party must have come with a purpose.

The rich businessman sighed and said,"Brother Houfu, only those of us who often sail know that if our navy is not good, we can't raise our heads outside and can only be bullied.

Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, our country's navy has been completely finished.

And the compradors of the National Government....Haha, how much money do you think they will invest in developing the navy?"

Hearing this question, Chen Shaokuan's face changed slightly.

He had asked Chiang Kai-shek for money more than once.

But the response he got was that there was no money.

When he invited him to be the Minister of the Navy and develop the navy, he didn't say so.

But even so, he didn't give up developing the navy.

"What do you want to say?

The rich businessman smiled and did not answer, but continued to talk to himself.

"But a few days ago, a big event happened in North China.

The Red Alert Corps dispatched four 10,000-ton ships to forcefully destroy the British and French fleet that invaded Tianjin.

They also gave me hope, perhaps China's navy can still be saved.

A country's navy, if it does not have this momentum.

No matter how many talents or how good the ships are, it cannot become a truly powerful navy. It is just a vase that is always good-looking but useless.

I am not slandering Jinling, nor am I belittling Brother Houfu.

Even if there is more money, the navy of the National Government cannot develop.

Besides, does he really value the development of the navy?

The future of the navy is not in the south, but in the north."

At this time, Chen Shaokuan finally understood his purpose.

"Are you from the north?"

The rich businessman said proudly,"What north or south? I am Chinese, a dignified Chinese.

That's right, I'm here to be a lobbyist.

Brother Houfu also has ambitions in his heart and excellent talents, and should not be buried here.

A strong navy cannot be bought, and it can only be developed by relying on itself step by step.

Commander Jiang attaches great importance to the navy and is still building the Dalian Shipyard.

He wants to build cruisers, battleships and aircraft carriers belonging to China.

Now only Commander Jiang has the ability to develop the Chinese navy.

Brother Houfu, you have talents and ambitions to develop the navy.

Commander Jiang also attaches great importance to you.

If you are willing to go north, you will be the commander of the navy.

I have something else to tell you.

Compared with other things, it is far less responsible than developing the Chinese navy."

After that, the rich businessman did not say anything more, but stood up and bowed and left.

Because he knew that Chen Shaokuan needed to think carefully.

These words were still very important to Chen Shaokuan's deployment.

He did not expect that Jiang would attach so much importance to him. He actually directly promised him the commander-in-chief of the Red Alert Navy.

Although he did not know how powerful the Red Alert Navy was.

But from the fleet that appeared in Bohai, it can be known that it is definitely not weak.

Perhaps it is far inferior to the naval powers such as Britain, the United States and Japan.

But it is much stronger than many countries.

After all, it was able to annihilate the British and French fleets with zero damage. With 100 ships, this navy is definitely not simple.

As for what he said about Jiang Fan building the Dalian Shipyard and wanting to build warships by himself, he also believed it.

The Red Alert Corps has various advanced equipment, and they must have the ability to do so.

This also made him feel excited.

Perhaps his lifelong dream is really possible.

As for the Minister of the Navy, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sit.

Just as Boss Liu said, does Chiang Kai-shek really value the development of the navy?

He can give a definite answer, that is, he doesn't value it at all.

He sees this very clearly.

So in mid-November last year, that is, In 1932, he resolutely submitted his resignation and resigned from the post of Navy Minister.

However, the Executive Yuan did not approve it at all.

So two months later, in early 1933, he submitted his resignation again.

After the main naval generals and Chiang Kai-shek persuaded him, he gave up the idea.

But he still had little resentment in his heart.

He understood that his ambition to strengthen China by building a strong navy might be difficult to achieve.

The idea of submitting his resignation came to his mind again. And at this time Jiang Fan sent someone to the door.

It made him active again.

It's just that resigning from the post of Navy Minister here , turned around and joined the Red Alert Corps and served as the commander of the navy. This behavior is very despicable.

But what he said is also very reasonable.

Compared with these things, the responsibility of developing the navy is more important.

After almost an hour, the food was cold.

Chen Shaokuan looked at the food on the table and suddenly felt very hungry.

This time he ate very fast, and there was no sadness between his brows as before.

He also began to be full of expectations for the future of the Chinese Navy. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

That night, he found the wealthy businessman Boss Liu.

And told him his ideas

"After I submit my resignation, I will immediately leave for the Northeast.

Boss Liu shook his head and said,"No, they will never let you go.

Once they know your thoughts, you will be imprisoned and monitored.[]

Brother Houfu, I have arranged the route and we can leave at any time.

Your wife and children in Jinling can rest assured.

Someone will escort them to the Northeast.

Not a single hair will be lost."

If they really find that they want to go to the Northeast, they will definitely do such a thing.

After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said,"Okay, I'll pack up and leave with you."

He is not a hesitant person.

Since the decision has been made, some sacrifices must be made.

Compared with the ambition to strengthen the Chinese Navy, what's the harm in sacrificing one's reputation?

At most, he will be called a slave of three surnames.

Chen Shaokuan's straightforward trip to the north was both within Jiang Fan's expectations and beyond his expectations. It was expected that he would come.

Because he knew that Chen Shaokuan had submitted his resignation twice...........

That's why this arrangement was made.

Unexpectedly, he was so decisive.

It seems that I didn't make a mistake.

He is the naval commander I'm looking for.

As long as he becomes one of my own, I don't have to worry about what unpredictable things will happen after he gets in touch with the core secrets of the Red Alert Corps.

After solving a big problem, Jiang Fan was in a good mood.

Then he contacted Walton Borg directly.

"How are the arrangements in Annan going? If possible, try to find something for these Gallic chickens to do."

The French Indochina Fleet will be included in the coalition fleet this time.

Jiang Fan didn't have a good impression of these French people.

He just wanted to make them unhappy.

He just remembered that he had made a big move in Annan, so he found Walton Borg.

"Commander, the situation there is almost the same now.

With more than 5,000 soldiers and excellent equipment, we can definitely give this group of French people a surprise."

After this infiltration that took quite some time, the strength of the Annan rebels has increased to more than 5,000 people.

The individual weapons they are equipped with are also very suitable for jungle warfare.

And he has completely controlled the Restoration Society.

The original fool Pan Fuming had died in a battle.

As another core figure, the fisherman Ruan Zhiyuan also became one of his own because of the mind controller.

This rebel army has become an extra-staff force controlled by the Ares Group.

Next, we can launch an attack to overthrow the control of the French.

Control the entire Southeast Asian peninsula.

The resources here are abundant, and the next major domestic development is when resources are needed.

And it can also make the French feel pain.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Then Jiang Fan also paid attention to the current development of the Ares Group.

The current Ares Group is even more powerful.

It has a total of 8 brigades and more than 40,000 troops.

It also has navy and air force.

The number of equipped fighter planes exceeds 4 00 aircraft, and the number of ships exceeds 60.

It has become the most powerful armed force in Southeast Asia.

And now Siam is also under the control of Walton Borg.

Through various means, King Rama VII has become his own man.

In the current Siamese troops.

All the equipment used is purchased from the Ares Group.

The officers who train them are also instructors provided by the Ares Group.

The money sent to the Ares Group alone exceeds 50 million pounds.

All this money will enter the Northeast through 2.2 various channels.

This is not a small amount.

As long as Annan stabilizes the situation.

He will start with Myanmar.

At the same time, the Dutch entrenched in Java will also be driven away.

Except for the Philippines and Singapore, the entire Southeast Asia will be China's territory.

An order was transmitted to the camp of the Annan Restoration Society.

The current leader Chen Zhiming's eyes flashed, and he threw the order into the brazier.

Then he stood up and shouted:"Assemble the troops and prepare for action."

Soon, all the 5,000 people took action.

Now their equipment is definitely upgraded.

The rifle has been replaced with the Lee Enfield, which is the fastest bolt-action rifle except for the semi-automatic rifle.

The firepower is still very strong.

In addition to having many advanced weapons, the rest of the soldiers are also very proficient in jungle warfare, guerrilla warfare, etc.

Although there are only more than 5,000 people, there is no problem in dealing with the French colonial army that is more than three times their number.

The target of their attack this time is Hanoi.

However, the purpose is not to occupy it.

Instead, they are preparing to surround and attack the reinforcements, eliminate the main force of the French colonial army, and take this opportunity to make a name for themselves and recruit more people to join them.

Annan has already taken action.

The Northeast is also shrouded in dark clouds at the moment.

However, this dark cloud is relative to the landlord class.

After so many days of preparation, the time is ripe.
