When Bai Liusu and Shui Hongxiu were integrating their teams and preparing to go to the headquarters to quell the chaos, in the Jewish settlement in the east of the city, affectionately called the "Grey House" by the Jews, in the conference room of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce headquarters, the old Bonn father and son and other chamber of commerce leaders The person in charge, Stern and other senior members of the Jewish Independence Army sat together, discussing something with serious faces.
At this moment, it was Xiao Bonn who was speaking: "...there is one thing I think we have always ignored. From a broad sense, the Xuebing Army is just a warlord after all. In China, the Chongqing government has the absolute right to speak. I admit that in terms of personal ability alone, Ouyang Yun can be said to be a rare person in a thousand years. However, the complexity of China's political environment is far beyond our ability as foreigners to understand. Judging from the current situation, although Japan currently has the advantage, I have no doubt that China will be victorious in the end. And once Japan is defeated and China is victorious, what will happen to you? One thing is undoubted. The local warlord government will inevitably be banned. At that time, the decision will be made for our Jewish people. The fate of the nation will be determined by the Chongqing government. Ouyang Yun is too young after all. You have all seen that Guangzhou is in such chaos, but where is our commander-in-chief?" Shaking his head, he continued: "Ouyang Yun He is still too young, so his leadership charisma is really lacking, which will become a fatal flaw for the young team of the Xuebing Army..." It can be seen that for these words, Xiao Bonn has made sufficient preparations. So what he said was well-founded, and it can be seen from his description that he was skeptical about whether Xue Bingjun could survive this difficulty.
As more and more Jews became Chinese nationals and began to migrate to various parts of China, centered in Guangdong, the Jews gradually divided into two camps, one of which was dominated by businessmen. They united around the Jewish Chamber of Commerce and began to Frequently went out of the Xuebing Army's jurisdiction and contacted other forces. With their efforts, products within the Xuebing Army's jurisdiction began to flow to various parts of China. At the same time, many of them also began to become guests of various forces. The other group is mainly composed of soldiers and craftsmen. They unite around the Jewish Independence Army such as Stern, strictly maintain the characteristics of the student army, and rarely show color to other domestic forces.
As soon as Bonn's speech ended, Stern took over the conversation. He first expressed his position clearly: "No matter how the chaos in Guangzhou will end, our Jewish Independence Army only recognizes the leadership of one person, then That is Commander-in-Chief Ouyang." The predecessor of the Jewish Independence Army was the Jewish Independence Brigade, and later the Jewish Independence Division. After becoming a military-level unit, it coincided with the student army's successive victories on various battlefields. After discussion by the Jewish Chamber of Commerce, The command was handed over to Ouyang Yun, but even so, because the Jewish Chamber of Commerce was responsible for all the expenses of the Independence Army, in fact, they were the "owner" of the Independence Army. Seeing that Stern ignored this and actually said such a full Even if Jews are good at hiding their emotions when it comes to provocation, many people looked at Stern with angry expressions on their faces.
Stern did not give them a chance to refute him. He continued: "Everyone, please don't forget who took us in and protected us Jews when we were in most need of help. Without Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, without him Where are we now? Many of us must have gone to hell. Don’t stare at me. If you think what I said is wrong, you can stand up and refute. These hundreds of Can’t the lessons of 2018 still wake us up? Will we continue to bear the reputation of “deception” and “profit-seeking”? Today, we have abandoned the Xuebing Army and Commander-in-Chief Ouyang. So tomorrow, can you guarantee that you will not be Abandon it? We have been cooperating with the Xuebing Army and Commander-in-Chief Ouyang for so long, but they have shown a tendency to discriminate against us. Everyone, please wake up. Now that you have become a Chinese national, and since you have joined the Xuebing Army family, We must show the attitude that a true military student should have..."
Stern's words caused many people to ponder. Soldiers have their own principles and honors as soldiers, and the greatest honor for soldiers is loyalty. Several division commanders first stood up to support Stern's point of view. They unanimously stated that regardless of the chaos in Guangzhou, No matter how successful they are, they must be true military trainees and stand firmly on the side of Commander-in-Chief Ouyang.
The senior leaders of the Independent Army had a unified stance, which had a great influence on the senior leaders of the Chamber of Commerce. An old man named Dr. Hugh said after several division commanders expressed their stance: "Commander Stern's words make sense to a certain extent. President Bonn, so far , Chongqing gave us only some verbal guarantees, but Xuebingjun implemented them in writing. From this point alone, Ouyang Yun is much more reliable than Chiang Kai-shek. The Chinese have an old saying, When we burn bridges across rivers, we have to beware of old Chiang Kai-shek's tricks. During this period, I have been reading books on modern Chinese history, and the description of Chiang in them is not very good."
Before Dr. Xiu finished speaking, he caused an uproar among the soldiers. It was the first time that they had heard about the contact between the Chongqing government and the Chamber of Commerce. They would inevitably have doubts about whether the Chamber of Commerce had reached an agreement with the Chongqing government. In that case, , is their behavior considered a betrayal of Xuebingjun and Ouyang Yun?
For soldiers, betrayal is the most shameful thing. If this is the case, they can no longer sit back and watch the situation develop.
Dr. Hugh's words made the Bonn father and son passive. They winked at Dr. Hugh repeatedly while he was speaking. However, I don't know whether Dr. Hugh really didn't notice or deliberately pretended not to be able to see. He still insisted on finishing what he wanted to say. , and as soon as he finished speaking, Stern stood up, looked at old Bonn coldly and asked: "President Bonn, is what Dr. Hugh said true? You actually contacted Chongqing behind our backs. ,."
Old Bonn's face turned red and looked a little embarrassed. Young Bonn immediately counterattacked: "Commander Stern, please pay attention to your words. What do you mean behind everyone's back? My father's contact with Chongqing is also for the benefit of the Jewish nation. In the future, everything we talk about will be fair and honest, and there will be nothing ulterior."
Seeing Bonn's strong words, Stern was irritated. He laughed twice and said in a deep voice: "For the future of the Jewish nation, Mr. Bonn, please stop deceiving yourself. Do you think we are all fools? A little bit Anyone who is smart knows that the future of the Jews has been tied to the Xuebing Army, and only if we are tied to them can we have a future. However, you are talking about the future with the Chongqing government. Your so-called future is to make us Jews Do you continue to bear the name of 'betrayer' and 'liar'? Humph, whatever future you are talking about with the Chongqing government should only be the future of your Bonn family."
