Chapter 75 Defense

So when Song Zheyuan proposed to establish the Yicha Military Government, first carry out Yicha Autonomy and strengthen his own strength, no one, including Ouyang Yun, raised objections.

Historically, the North China Autonomy of the 29th Army was in November. However, due to the emergence of Ouyang Yun, the pace of history seemed to have accelerated. First, the Qin-Tu Agreement and the He Mei Agreement were signed in advance, and then the Yicha Autonomy, which directly triggered the "October 29th Movement", also occurred in advance.

"Everyone has any ideas, but after the meeting, I hope everyone must firmly take this as the code of action in the future and must not act emotionally!" Song Zheyuan said, his eyes falling on Ouyang Yun's face and said, "Don't just laugh, the thing I worry about the most is you! It is a good thing for young people to have blood, but since as a member of the 29th Army, you must think about the future of tens of thousands of soldiers before doing anything, and you must not do things based on your preferences as before!" He said this. The reason why the 29th Army wanted to set up a military government was actually the Japanese.

. Three days ago, when he was still in Tianjin, Kenji Doihara came to his door and took out the North China Autonomous Plan that he had not known how long it was planned. He asked him to sign it on it, and threatened: If Song could not implement this plan before the end of June, then the Japanese army would send troops to Hebei and Shandong. Song Zheyuan was forced to do so. On the one hand, he did not dare to sign and become a national sinner, but on the other hand, he had already made plans to compromise. After communicating with Qin Dechun, Zhang Weifan and Xiao Zhenying, he decided to first pass this opinion in the army, and then choose the right time to issue a nationwide power to declare autonomy in a tactful way.

All the people here are old foxes in the officialdom, so they naturally understand the ambiguous relationship. Ouyang Yun is familiar with this history and knows where Song’s words mean. Everyone looked at him, Qin Dechun laughed and said, “The military commander Ouyang is a 'two heroes of the anti-Japanese war’. Today is different from the past. Brigade Commander Ouyang, you are now a representative of the new forces of the 29th Army. You really can’t just act on your own intention.”

Yicha Autonomy is the result of Ouyang Yun's unsuccessful pursuit. If this is the case, many of his grand plans will not be carried out at all. After this period of experience, he has also understood the domestic political environment and the personality characteristics of Song Zheyuan and others. He nodded and said seriously: "Thank you for your teachings from the two commanders. I have received the teachings - Deputy Commander Qin, Ouyang is a junior. If you don't give up, please call me Ouyang." He looked at everyone and said: "Everyone is older than me, and they are all Ouyang's father, brother and elder. If you don't see each other, please call me my name."

Song Zheyuan said: "It should be like this - since everyone has the fate to work together, it is like a family. Ouyang is the youngest among us and has the least qualifications. Many places need to be here to provide guidance and support. Well, let's call him the name in the future, which sounds more friendly."

Zhang Zizhong looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "Since the military throne said the same thing, then we will rely on our seniority to call our brother Ouyang in the future."

Song Zheyuan said: "Everyone, everyone has understood the current situation of our army. Let's talk about the issues of expansion and defense."

This is the theme of today's meeting and the essence of the cake. Everyone was inspired and corrected their form. The atmosphere in the conference room became a little serious for a while.

"After discussions between Lao Qin and Lao Zhang, Xiong Bin, on behalf of Lao Jiang, also agreed that our army, based on the original framework, plans to expand the following: Among them, the 37th Division is the 9th Regiment of the 4th Brigade, and the 3rd Regiment of the First Brigade, and the 3rd Regiment of the First Brigade, and the 38th Division is the 11th Regiment of the 5th Brigade, and the 5th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade, and the 5th Regiment of the Tianjin Defense; the 132nd Division is the 8th Regiment of the 4th Brigade, and the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade, and the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade, and the 143rd Division is the 5th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade, and is responsible for all defenses in Chahar; the Student Corps is expanded to the Independent Brigade of the School Soldier, with a special service battalion under the Third Regiment, responsible for the defense of the Qiu area. In addition, certain security forces will be set up in each region depending on the situation and directly under the command of the local garrison..."

Because it was related to the overall situation, Song Zheyuan took about twenty minutes to read out the 29th Army's defense and expansion orders. Finally, he asked: "Do you have any opinions?"

Zhao Dengyu immediately stood up and said, "Military throne, Ren Qiunai, the heart of Hebei, is it inappropriate to let the independent brigade defend? Once a war breaks out in Pingjin, the independent brigade, as a second-line force, its reaction and strength will have a great impact on the battle situation!"

Ren Qiu was originally the defense ground of the 132nd Division. After Zhao Dengyu led his troops there, he had already built a military camp and made some personnel arrangements. In this way, the sudden move to defend, and the previous arrangement would be in vain. In addition, as he said, Ren Qiu was the rear of Pingjin. Once Pingjin started fighting, the reaction and mobilization of Ren Qiu's garrison would be very important. The independent brigade scholars were the main force, and the brigade commander Ouyang Yun was so young. Can he be competent for such a heavy burden?

Qin Dechun played a role in the Independent Brigade being able to adjust Ren Qiu's defense. The 29th Army entered Hebei and would definitely form a military government in the future. In this way, Ren Qiu's highest executive will naturally be Ouyang Yun. As a think tank of the 29th Army, Qin Dechun naturally understood the importance of Ren Qiu to the overall situation of the 29th Army. Ouyang Yun didn't know what Chen Hanlin used to persuade Qin Dechun to help this, but this was not the issue he was most concerned about. What he wanted most now was the oil underground in Ren Qiu.

Since Qin Dechun was able to persuade Song Zheyuan to transfer independent brigade to Ren Qiu, the reason was of course very sufficient. He smiled and said, "Deng Yu, this is actually what I mean. You don't know yet. There are treasures hidden underground in Ren Qiu."

"Huh?" Everyone couldn't help but wonder, thinking that since there are treasures underground in Renqiu, why should I take advantage of Ouyang Yun, an outsider?

Qin Dechun's next sentence solved everyone's questions: "There is oil underground in Renqiu, and Ouyang just mastered the technology of mining and refining. This is the reason why the independent brigade was transferred to defend Renqiu. As for whether the independent brigade can play its due role in the future if a war occurs in the future." He looked at Song Zheyuan and said, "The military throne has decided to hold a grand ceremony for the entire army on New Year's Day next year. If the independent brigade cannot enter the third grade, then Renqiu's defense will be re-arranged - Dengyu, do you think this is good?"

What does oil mean in modern society? No one of the generals of the 29th Army did not know. For a moment, many people's eyes became hot. Zhao Dengyu said, "Be good, is this true?" Looking at Qin Dechun and asked, "Deputy Commander Qin, how do you know?"

Qin Dechun smiled slightly and said, "I have an old friend who knows an American exploration team. I got the news from them. Everyone, once there is fuel, it is possible for us to form a tank and the aircraft troops-" His eyes fell on Ouyang Yun's face and asked, "Ouyang, listen to my old friend, you have mastered the technology of mining and refining oil, is that true?"

Ouyang Yun nodded and said, "Yes, I have also seen information about Renqiu having oil in American geographic magazines. I think as long as you can buy equipment, mining and refining are not a problem." He stood up and saluted Song Zheyuan and said, "Military, I have a question to ask for advice."

Song Zheyuan nodded and said, "Please speak."

"Is Tianjin Tanggukou Wharf in our hands?"

"Tianjin is full of concessions from various countries. As a trading port, Tanggukou is not allowed to garrison troops. It is currently under the jurisdiction of the Tianjin Garrison Command, so it is considered in our hands."

"Military throne, this is not possible. If our army wants to truly grow and grow, Tanggukou must be firmly in its hands - the Pingjin area, the only channel we can rely on is sea route. On land, the increase in freight costs is not necessary, and it is inevitable that the local government will pluck the hair. In that case, no matter how hard we try, no matter how good the product we produce, it may be just a wedding dress for others."

Song Zheyuan frowned and thought for a while, realizing that this was a problem, and said, "The importance of Tanggukou is naturally self-evident, but this matter involves too much. If one is not handled well, it is probably a problem that it will cause international disputes."

Others here, except Guo Biao and Qin Dechun, couldn't quite understand the content of the conversation between the two. Tianjin was under the jurisdiction of the 38th Division. Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but ask: "Military, do you think you are planning to open a factory or run a business?"

Song Zheyuan said "Oh" and said, "I forgot to tell you about this. Our little Ouyang is not simple. His head is full of wealth. Haha, Zizhong is right. We just want to run a factory, and we have to do it in big ways!" As he said, he asked Guo Biao to take out Ouyang Yun's plan and hand it over to everyone to circulate it one by one, saying, "This is Ouyang's plan. Many of the technologies involved in it are world-leading. Just talk about the penicillin. Ouyang and Mr. Jiang said that foreigners are still studying - these factories are really going through, that's amazing!" Thinking of the problem at Tanggukou, he said, "As Ouyang said, if this Tanggukou is not handled properly, it may really make us hold a hen that can lay eggs and fuck! Tanggukou, Tanggukou - Do you have any good suggestions?"

Everyone was circulating the project book because they didn't understand what some of the technical words meant, just like reading a heavenly book. Zhang Zizhong was the first to read it, then scratched his head and said, "I am a military man. I really can't understand these academic things. However, if these things have various magical functions as written in the book, they think they should be quite valuable, then Tanggukou is really very important to our army!"

Zhao Dengyu stood up and waved his hand and said, "What's the problem? If it really doesn't work, carry out military control. Western powers only have small security forces in Tianjin, so they will definitely not dare to stand with us. As for the little Japanese, I don't believe they dare to take action now!"

Feng Zhian echoed: "Dengyu's method is good, I agree!"

Seeing that they were all stubborn, Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Military Generals, military control is a must, but if the methods are appropriate, I guess the great powers, including the Japanese, will not only not object, but they will even wish this."

Song Zheyuan hurriedly asked, "What do you say?"
