Republic of China Tycoon Reborn

"Our chances of winning are not good," Guan Deming's voice revealed a hint of negativity: "Now that he has become a force in Shanghai, it will be difficult for us to compete with him without outside support."

Yinping nodded: "Don't worry, although the central government's attitude is ambiguous, the central commanders of the surrounding provinces have already moved in. With their support, the Du people will never be able to cause any trouble."

"You are trying to comfort me," Guan Deming didn't believe what he said at all: "You are not warlords. It is impossible for you to move around privately. I can't count on you. I have to ask for help from the Red Gang elsewhere."

"There are red gangs elsewhere, but there is no green gang." Yinping interrupted him impatiently: "Is your weight in the red gang out there comparable to Du Yuesheng's weight in the green gang out there? According to our intelligence, don't Speaking of the south, even the Green Gang in the north are very loyal to Du Yuesheng. Hey, he is different from you. You and the big brothers from the Red Gang elsewhere are at most comrades, but as for him, he is not like them in the Green Gang. A person who comes directly from business contacts will be made rich by others."

Silence, there was a brief silence between the two people on both ends of the phone. Finally, they both sighed at the same time: "No matter what, let's find a way to fight."

From about ten o'clock in the morning to about five o'clock in the afternoon, Du Yuesheng dug out countless hidden strongholds of the Red Gang and Zhongtong. But strangely, he always insisted on the policy of surrounding but not attacking. The manpower in those strongholds, and Du Yuesheng's Green Gang men were confronting each other with highly nervous expressions, but the other party was calm and had no intention of taking action.

But this is scary enough. Yinping sent the information here to the central government like a stream. Not only did he send it there, he even added fuel and jealousy to describe the danger of central unification as more dangerous. But just as Guan Deming expected, Kanazawa It is impossible for Tongxia Tiedan and the others to mobilize a large number of people to Shanghai in such a short period of time. It is not that they do not want to do this, but that they cannot mobilize them at all.

When Guiyan was alive, he once issued a fatal order within Zhongtong, that is, unless his consent was obtained, large-scale transfers of personnel in various parts of Zhongtong were not allowed. This was very inconvenient, especially for them. As far as the organization is concerned, Guiyan doesn't care about this and still goes his own way. It's not that he can't see the shortcomings, but that he is afraid of chaos within Zhongtong. He actually doesn't have 100% trust in several of his disciples.

This was originally a powerful weapon for Guiyan to maintain his absolute authority when he was alive, but now, it has become the biggest obstacle restricting his disciples and power.

As for the Red Gang, Guan Deming was not a native of the Red Gang. He originally joined the Red Gang in order to help the Kuomintang in Shanghai. The biggest benefit he promised was to develop the Red Gang into the largest group in Shanghai. Gang, but in the past few years, he has made almost no achievements. The status of the Red Gang is no different from before. The other eldest brothers in the gang have long been disappointed with him. At this time, he is asking for help like crazy. Everyone has to weigh it carefully. one time.

The elder brothers were thinking about it, but the people from the Youth Gang who corresponded to them went to greet them first. After everyone weighed it up, they finally decided to just give a symbolic favor. In this way, Guan Deming's last hope was lost. Interrupted.

In the evening, sporadic exchanges of fire finally began to occur. All the forces in Shanghai were paying attention to the fight. There was only one thought in everyone's mind, that is, the Red Gang was about to withdraw from the stage in Shanghai. Therefore, no one dared to intervene. .

When the sky was dim and dark, Yinping had another phone call with Guan Deming. This time, the two of them looked even more desperate. Yinping was silent, and Guan Deming was also silent. After a long silence, Yinping suddenly asked: "Lao Guan, do you have any questions?" Is there anything you want to say?"

A wry smile appeared on Guan Deming's lips: "What else can I say? I am recalling the past. I wonder if I am old. Why do I always like to recall the past?"

Yinping nodded: "Laoguan, you are an old man of the Kuomintang. Originally, you could find a good and stable job after the Revolution of 1911, but you didn't. You moved from the underground to the ground, and you are still working hard for the party and the country."

Guan Deming nodded and sighed: "You are the same, aren't you?"

"I listen to my teacher," there was no fanaticism in Yinping's tone: "But what is the teacher for? For the party and the country. Now that the teacher has just died, the party and the country are going to throw us away. I don't even have time to mourn the teacher. I was thinking, will anyone collect the teacher’s body?”

"You are too pessimistic,"

"It's true," Yinping sighed: "Also, what is the teacher's attitude towards us? He explicitly banned the exchange of changes between the Central Committee and the Central Government, isn't it just to guard against us senior brothers? This has nothing to do with feelings. , just because of political needs, we don't blame him, but it was his order that made me unable to protect myself,"

"What do you want to say,"

"Then what do you want to say?"

The two were silent for a moment, and Guan Deming sighed: "I was wondering whether it was worth our efforts. Alas, I have paid far more for the party and the country than you. Just because I accidentally followed the wrong person, I ended up... To end up like this, hey, even though we are surrounded on all sides, no one cares about it. Now, I am a grandma who doesn’t love my uncle."

Guan Deming suddenly became excited: "In this case, let's not make unnecessary sacrifices. The Red Gang and the Central Unification are on the same line, and the Central Unification is also an important force of the Kuomintang no matter what. No matter what, the Central Committee will never Seeing that the central government is being destroyed, let’s stop fighting, conserve our strength, and wait for an answer from the central government, what do you think?”

Yinping nodded slowly, and then he sent a telegram to the central government. He said in the newspaper that he was waiting for the central government's decision. That was all. There was nothing more. He knew that the central government was full of people. A good person must understand what he means.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, a convoy quietly drove into the tense Shanghai Beach. Du Yuesheng's manpower had been mobilized. Of course they would notice such a convoy entering Shanghai. What's more, this convoy still had the license plate of the Nanjing Central Government.

His subordinates reported this matter to Du Yuesheng immediately, and Du Yuesheng attached great importance to it, because not only did the convoy come from the central government, but it was also the Shanghai army that secretly met them in Shanghai and escorted them.

The hidden brothers in the Shanghai Army also spread the news, saying that these people were special commissioners of the Central Committee, in order to mediate the conflicts between the Qing and Hong gangs. Du Yuesheng smiled slightly, the conflicts between the Qing and Red gangs, when did the gangs have such a big reputation? He actually needed the central government to personally send someone to mediate. He knew that the new round of games and discussions by the central government had ended, and they had made a decision on how to decide on the central unification.

They came not for the fight between the two gangs, but for the Zhongtong Shanghai Station, and for themselves. Du Yuesheng immediately ordered Song Sanxi to put down everything he was doing and focus on this convoy. There was no one in this convoy. Before making it public, don't attack the Red Gang and Zhongtong. Moreover, you don't have to be sneaky when following them. You can just follow them openly. You can even say hello to the people in the motorcade.

After receiving the order, Song Sanxi did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to monitor the convoy in person. A convoy was walking on the road, with escorting military vehicles next to it. Behind these were Song Sanxi's vehicles.

After driving for dozens of minutes, the central convoy suddenly stopped. A young man slowly stepped out of the second leading car. This man was so young that he looked younger than Du Yuesheng. He smiled and waved to the back: "Dare I ask the friend behind me if he is from Mr. Du?"

Song Sanxi's heart tightened. He couldn't figure out what the other party meant, but since the person had made a noise, he had to answer. Song Sanxi got out of the car and walked slowly over: "I am Song Sanxi, entrusted by Mr. Du. I have come to protect you. There is a lot of chaos on the beach in Shanghai right now. I am afraid that you are in danger, so you sent me to protect you."

The man smiled slightly: "No need for protection, now I will take your car and go with you to see Mr. Du,"

Song Sanxi was stunned, he didn't understand what the other party meant.

The man laughed: "Friend, considering your age, I should call you big brother. Don't worry, Mr. Du and I are old acquaintances. I'm here this time just for him."

Song Sanxi was doubtful, but since the other party said that he would follow him alone to see Du Yuesheng, it would be the best. He nodded: "Sir, please come with me,"

The young man walked towards Song Sanxi's motorcade with a smile. The guards became anxious: "Sir, you can't be so rash." Meeting old friends is considered imprudent,"

A leader from the Shanghai army shook his head: "If the central government entrusts your safety to us, we can't..."

"The central government also entrusted my uncle's safety to you. What did you do in the end? Where is my uncle?" A trace of displeasure flashed across the young man's face, and he replied cryptically.

The man from the Shanghai army choked immediately and was speechless. At this time, another voice floated from the car where the young man got off: "Let him go. He should have gone. This time, through mediation, Not only do we want to see Yinping, but we also want to see Mr. Du. We brothers will work separately. He will see Mr. Du, and I will see Yinping."

So everyone shut up. Song Sanxi was slightly surprised. There were two brothers, and there was another one. Listening to the tone, that one was the elder brother, and this one was the younger brother. He was facing the other party, and the other party had already arrived in front of him. Song Sanxi straightened his thoughts and bowed. He personally asked the other party to get in the car, then waved goodbye to the people in the central convoy, the car started, and he personally drove the mysterious young man towards Du Zhai, and told the remaining men to keep a close eye on him.

"When did you follow Mr. Du? When he first came to Shanghai, I didn't see you with him." The young man was chatting with Song Sanxi: "That time when Sanxin Wharf opened,"

"That's not the first time I've come to Shanghai," Song Sanxi responded with a smile: "When Mr. Du came to Shanghai for the first time, Guangxu and Cixi were not dead yet."
