"Father just passed away, so I may have to stay at home for a while. Moreover, my specialty is military industry and military equipment, but now that the Anti-Japanese War has just been won, the situation in the country has not yet calmed down, and I can't do anything if I want to."

"Mr. Tang is a top student at the Virginia Military Academy. I heard from Wen Yingxing that you graduated No. 1 among Chinese students and ranked No. 9 in the whole class. How about I give you a job in the national military system? You just saw my nephew Qu It's your birthday, and it's rare to get together when you go back to your hometown to visit relatives. With your qualifications, you will be a major battalion commander or a staff officer, and you will be promoted within half a year. Sun Liren is also an alumnus of your Virginia Military Academy. General!"

Tang Hua smiled awkwardly.I did meet Ou Shounian who came to visit two days ago.During the war of resistance against Chiang Kai-shek, Zou Shounian did not deal with Chiang Kai-shek, and was suspended from his post for a while. However, after the end of the war of resistance, Chiang Kai-shek seemed to want to re-enable Qu Shounian. The gossip was that he had appointed the deputy commander of the Sixth Appeasement Zone, and the real military power was in the Hand + local officials.Cai Tingkai was also present when he met Ou Shounian. Cai Tingkai did not tell Ou Shounian his complete plan to organize the private promotion, but only asked Ou Shounian cryptically if he intended to participate in his own club activities.Ou Shounian said to Cai: "I am different from you. You are a celebrity, and I lead the army. I don't know how to deal with politics, so I can't help you. Why don't I stay in the army and you can call me at any time, so that I can still control the situation?" A force is here to help you."

In this way, Ou Shounian, who didn't engage in politics, threw himself into the periphery of Chiang Kai-shek's camp in a daze, and fought wherever Chiang Kai-shek pointed him.Finally, in June 1948, in the Battle of Eastern Henan, his position was broken through and the whole army was surrounded. Ou Shounian was captured due to a tank failure during the breakout.When he was captured, Ou Shounian felt that many of the generals on the opposite side were his acquaintances. He jumped out of the tank and said to the soldiers of our army who captured him, "Take me to see Su Yu."

Ou Shounian yelled: "I am Ou Shounian! I really know Su Yu! I was with him when Ye Ting was under house arrest!" The soldier searched him, and it turned out that he really had Su Yu's stuff on him—a piece of paper issued by the government. Su Yu's wanted reward warrant.So, the lieutenant general of the national army, Ou Chuliang's grandfather, was beaten again by the soldiers because he said something wrong.

Tang Hua finished laughing, thought for a while, and answered Cai Tingkai: "The curriculum of the Virginia Military Academy is to let students learn an engineering undergraduate course first, and then acquire basic military skills and military command skills after obtaining a university degree in engineering. Xiaosheng got a degree certificate in electrical engineering in Virginia, and also minored in a second major in the history of military science and technology....Here I dare to say that my engineering studies are quite solid, and there are not many in China. My peers can compare to me, and I am also determined to do military industry, revitalize our country's national defense and our country's industry. I really don't have much experience in military command and combat, and I don't plan to develop in this direction."

"Chiang Kai-shek has no interest in engaging in military industry," Cai Tingkai said. "He will buy what he lacks. If he buys foreign weapons and equipment, Mrs. Song can make a lot of money. How can he make money by making weapons by himself?"

"So now is not the time, wait until later, Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Gong will not always be on stage, right?"

Seeing that Tang Hua had no intention of joining the army, Cai Tingkai had no choice but to talk about other things. Tang Hua also verbally agreed that after the national capital returned to Nanjing, he would find an opportunity to become an official and develop in the industry or transportation sector.

……

Enter the Lunar New Year, the fifth day of the first lunar month.

The streets of Guangzhou.

Cai Tingkai left for Guangzhou from his hometown in Luoding, because Li Zhangda had already arrived in Guangzhou at this time, and Li Jichen and Tan Dongqing would arrive in a few days.In the past few days while waiting for people to gather together, Cai Tingkai simply walked around the streets of Guangzhou in micro-clothes, and Tang Hua was also happy to be a follower of the younger generation.

"Come on, this store is still there. I remember it has been open for more than 20 years," Cai Tingkai greeted Tang Hua, Li Zhangda and others who were accompanying him.

"I was visiting Guangzhou before the Northern Expedition, and this restaurant was here." Cai Tingkai sat down and continued, "Sun Liren came back from Myanmar last year and was stationed in Guangzhou first. I didn't mean to say that his new army may be a little good at fighting, but The military discipline is really bad, and the people in Guangzhou call him the New Japanese Army. This restaurant has been open for so many years, and the owner of the Guangzhou store last year, the New Army’s misfortune, is not easy.”

Cai Tingkai, Li Zhangda, Tang Hua, and Sun Shi sat down in the small restaurant. After a while, the store served each of them a large pillow dumpling and a bowl of seafood and vegetable soup.

Put the pillow rice dumplings the size of Xinhua Dictionary on the shallow plate, untie the reed leaves, and a strong smell of meat with the fragrance of the reed leaves floats out.Pull it with a spoon and chopsticks, and in the middle of glutinous rice, chestnuts, and peanuts is a piece of fat and thin braised pork with sesame seeds.

Take a spoonful and put it into your mouth, "It tastes good!" Tang Hua praised.

"Exactly! As I said earlier, salty zongzi is the zongzi!" Sun Shi also enjoyed the taste of zongzi and seafood soup, "Those northerners, Zhejiang folks, zongzi are still sweet, no brains!"

"Damn it! In the 18th year of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek distributed zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival. Open it," Cai Tingkai said, "It's the sweet zongzi that the bald man loves to eat again. When you open it, it's a handful of shiny white rice. What? There is no food, take a bite, it's sweet! I threw the zongzi on the spot."

"Bang!" Li Zhangda patted the table.

"Chiang Kai-shek, that bastard,... anyone who eats sweet rice dumplings is not a good person! If we don't kill Chiang Kai-shek, we won't be able to live a comfortable life!"

On February 1946, 2, the first congress of ADMO was held.

In Tang Hua's memory, the first meeting of the CAGO was held in March, but now it may be that the early preparations have gone smoothly, a little earlier than in history.This is a bit subtle. Originally, Tang Hua planned to just get acquainted with some of the bigwigs in the promotion, and slipped away quietly before the first national conference.As a result, the meeting was held ahead of schedule, and he had booked a ferry ticket to Hong Kong on February 3, so Cai Tingkai pulled the meeting together.

In the lobby of a certain bigwig's apartment, more than 20 people sat around and began to discuss the establishment of the project one by one.Tang Hua, as a junior of Little Transparent, naturally sat on the periphery and acted as a guest clerk.

"The action plan for the promotion of civil society has been reviewed by Mr. He Xiangning, and it has initially taken shape, and it is now available for everyone to review." Li Zhangda opened the action plan document, "First, the association will realize the revolutionary Three People's Principles, establish independence, freedom, A democratic and happy new China is the highest standard of action..."

"Article [-], this association advocates the sincere unity of all nationalities in the country, all are equal, and have the right to self-government and self-determination."

"Article [-], this association advocates uniting with other nations (countries) that treat us equally in the world, and jointly establish a permanent world peace..."

There are 11 items in the program of action, which will be discussed by the representatives present after reading.Li Jichen and Cai Tingkai were the first and second people attending the meeting. The other representatives present: Zhang Wen, Qin Yuanbang, Ye Qinsheng, Tan Dongqing, Sima Mianqun, Yu Wensen, Chen Shaoquan, etc., first set their sights on Cai and Li.

"The real priority and the core of the program for promoting people's promotion is to oppose the Kuomintang dictatorship," said Li Jichen. "Although the KMT party now occupies the political stage, and we are also members of the Kuomintang, we oppose Chiang Kai-shek's program. I also oppose his rule in the name of political training, this is not because we are now an opposition faction within the Kuomintang, but because Chinese politics should be like this..."

Tang Hua sat upright in the meeting hall, pretending to listen carefully, but his mind was not on it.After scanning his eyes several times, he finally turned to Qin Yuanbang who was sitting in the first three rows.

Qin Yuanbang participated in the May [-]th Movement, the Northern Expedition, and the Nanchang Uprising. After his army was disbanded, he focused on academics. He is now a professor at Sun Yat-sen University and Soochow University, and the president of Guangdong Culture University.However, Tang Hua also knows Qin Yuanbang's other identity. He is actually a veteran underground party member. Participating in the founding meeting of the NGO this time is also a task entrusted to him by the party organization, asking him to assist Cai, Li and others to establish the NGO Basic organization, let the DPP start to operate as soon as possible.

"Mr. Qin," when the meeting was adjourned, Tang Hua came over and introduced himself, "Younger Tang Hua, editor-in-chief of "World Military Pictorial", a fellow of Duke Cai."

"Ah, hello," Qin Yuanbang shook hands with Tang Hua, "I've heard Mr. Cai talk about you, you're a frightening young man."

Tang Hua said with a smile: "Don't dare to do it. The younger generation is here to sit in and be the secretary, but the boat ticket to Hong Kong has been booked the day after tomorrow. The purpose of going to Hong Kong is for the family property...to start business in Hong Kong. I want to meet someone in Hong Kong I hope that Mr. Qin can make an introduction in advance, so as not to be too abrupt when we meet."

"Oh, who are you going to see?"

"Yang Lin, also called Yang Lian'an, and another name is Qin Bangli." Tang Hua said.

Qin Yuanbang's expression changed, and he watched Tang Hua warily.

"I intend to develop some industries in Hong Kong. If possible, I would like to do it together with Lianhe Hong. The two companies can also operate cooperatively. If your party does not dislike it, I will become a shareholder of Lianhe Hong. One company, everyone can do it together .”

Qin Bangli, born in Wuxi, Jiangsu, is the younger brother of Qin Bangxian.In fact, when Qin Bangxian appeared in middle school textbooks, he used his pseudonym: Bo Gu.

Of course, compared with his elder brother who was obsessed with Marxism-Leninism theory, Qin Bangli's personal skill and technology tree is biased towards another aspect: doing business. In 1931, after Qin Bangli joined the party, he was responsible for opening a shop in Shantou to solve the problem of funding for underground organizations. In 1938, Qin Bangli was sent by the director Qian Zhiguang to Hong Kong to establish Lianhe Hong.The business of this trading company was quite prosperous. In addition to providing funds for underground organizations, it also purchased medicines and scarce supplies many times, and delivered them all the way to the sites of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.

Of course Qin Yuanbang knew about the existence of Lianhexing, but facing Tang Hua, he really had a headache.This 23-year-old young man dropped a blockbuster as soon as he came up, and then another blockbuster: First of all, how did Tang Hua know that he was from the underground party?Secondly, how did Tang Hua know what happened behind Lianhexing?

"Young Master Tang..." Qin Yuanbang rubbed his forehead, "Where should we start with this matter?"

"Needless to say, needless to say, you and I both understand." Tang Hua grinned, showing two rows of big white teeth, "It's really good that your party has the money bag of the Union Bank. There is a constant supply of demand. Although Cai Gong and Li Gong have quite a lot of money, it is inappropriate and unbearable for them to use their family wealth to support party affairs. So I want to learn from your party’s operating model. First, there is a money bag, and then Good job."

After hearing Tang Hua's explanation, Qin Yuanbang thought it was very reasonable, but he still found it unbelievable, "Since Mr. Tang is so familiar with us, he should also know that Lianhexing... If it is what you said, then its The direct leader must be in the sub-bureau or even in Yan'an, anyway, the person who manages the Union Bank is definitely not someone like me."

"Oh, Mr. Qin, I didn't ask you to write a letter of introduction, that would be unsafe, right?" Tang Hua said, "Can you... give me your name sticker? A business card is enough."

"Here." Qin Yuanbang immediately took out a name card. "Okay, I'll write some more words."

Qin Yuanbang wrote a line of words on the name post in Hong Kong dollars: Mr. Tang Hua wants to run a business in Hong Kong to solve the funding for the promotion of the people, please...

After thinking about it, Qin Yuanbang crossed out the word "please" and gave the name card to Tang Hua.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Tang Hua stood up and bowed. "I have nothing to do, I will go first."

"Then you know..." Qin Yuanbang thought about it, do you know the address of the headquarters of Lianhe Bank?But at this time Tang Hua had gone far.Forget it, this young man is a big kid, if he doesn't ask, he will definitely find Lianhexing.

……

Guangzhou Tianzi Wharf.

"Master Tang, you're here." Manager Zhao Kai saw Tang Hua and his party coming to the pier and greeted them.

"Manager Zhao has worked hard all the way, and he summoned you from Shanghai to Guangzhou before the first lunar month," Tang Hua said, "Are the purchased equipment and goods ready?"

"It's all ready, and some of it has arrived in Hong Kong. The goods purchased from Guangzhou are here and have been loaded onto the ship."

"Okay." Tang Hua said, "From now on, your company's business will be mainly in Guangdong and Hong Kong. Maybe the whole company will move to Hong Kong as a whole. I also see that your ancestors are from Guangzhou, so I let you come here. Of course, the salary will be Appropriate growth, in the future, according to the annual business and profit situation, I will also give you bonuses and shares."
