Entering August, the land of North China finally feels the breath of summer. The weather begins to get hotter, and cicadas begin to sing endlessly. It is the time when annual herbaceous plants are most prosperous, and the fields are green and everything looks so lively.
The Bonn family settled down in Renqiu, and the construction of a chemical plant has begun in the southern suburbs of Renqiu. It is a newly established chemical development zone. The new term chemical development zone naturally came from Ouyang Yun, and with the scale of Renqiu's economic construction As it gets bigger and bigger, more such new terms are destined to appear.
The Bonn family moved to Renqiu, which was a win-win situation for both parties. For Renqiu, the chemical raw materials necessary for the production of penicillin were guaranteed; for the Jews, Renqiu became another Chinese party after Shanghai that could help Jews escape Nazi persecution. of paradise,
After successfully inviting the Bonn family to Renqiu, Ouyang Yun considered admitting more Jews. However, after the investment conference, because he was busy with the production of the pharmaceutical factory and the finalization and trial production of the disease-removing multifunctional machine gun, he never had time to come. This matter was handled until Bonn came to the door with an old friend of his. The latter hoped to move to Renqiu and obtain the right to settle. This attracted his attention and decided to introduce an immigration policy regarding Jews. For this matter, he, Conduff had a long conversation with the Bonn father and son and Stuart.
The Bonn father and his son hoped that Renqiu would accept all the Jews who came to seek refuge without any restrictions. Stuart agreed, believing that most of the Jews were rich and highly educated, and their arrival could bring sufficient development funds and advanced financial services to Renqiu. management philosophy, and can bring high-quality workers and today's new technologies,
Ouyang Yun did not explicitly refute their views, but vaguely stated the current situation and difficulties of Renqiu: "The Renqiu Special Economic Zone currently governs Renqiu, Wen'an, Xiongxian, Dacheng and Hejian, covering an area of 5 It covers an area of about 4,500 square kilometers, has a population of more than 1.2 million, and a total of about 20 million acres of arable land. If there is enough labor or a high degree of mechanization, it can feed 3 million people. In this way, even if there are 1 million Jews, question; but the current situation in North China is severe, the Japanese are eyeing it, and a war may break out at any time. From this point of view, Renqiu is not an ideal place to take refuge." After talking about this, he waited for Leighton Stuart to translate, and saw that the Bonn father and his son were listening. Nodding, he changed the topic and said: "But you have also seen the determination and military appearance of our military training division and the 29th Army. As long as the weapons and equipment can match them, it is a delusion for the little devils to get involved here. Of course, if the Jews can make Ren Qiu truly I regard it as my future home, and together with the people of Renqiu, we will resist the enemy's humiliation. I believe that the Japanese have no chance of winning. Mr. Bonn, to be fair, the Jews seem to have a bad reputation. They are hated in every country they go to. , have you ever analyzed what the reason is?"
Leighton Stuart translated his words awkwardly, and the Bonn father and son were a little embarrassed. The former winked at Ouyang, "This is the heart disease of the Jews. It is unethical for you to expose other people's wounds at this time."
Ouyang Yun pretended not to notice Stuart's eyes, and said with a smile: "I have thought about this problem. In the final analysis, it is because you don't have a country of your own, or you don't really regard yourself as a member of the country you live in. , this is my personal opinion, it may be a bit biased, but I really treat you as a friend that’s why I am so straightforward, please forgive me."
This time, after listening to Leighton Stuart's translation, the Bonn father and his son thought about it seriously. Old Bonn said: "Director Ouyang, can we apply to join your country's nationality? We are willing to regard China as our own country, and contribute money and even effort." Protect her at all costs."
Why did Hitler put the Jews on the opposite side of his own nation (the German nation) to persecute and expel them? There are many versions of the answer to this historical question. What is certain is that the high quality and wealth of the Jews brought trouble to himself. In order to realize his goals, Hitler The dream of the "Third Reich" urgently needs a large amount of wealth, and the country's wealthy Jewish pagans are undoubtedly ready-made money bags in his opinion.
The high IQ and good business skills of Jews are due to historical reasons. Ouyang Yun knew something about it, and it was precisely these things that he valued. After listening to Old Bonn's words, he thought about it and said seriously: "If this is true, I personally I think it will work. You know, China itself is a multi-ethnic country, and the Chinese people are the most tolerant in the world. Our current situation is similar to yours. The right to survival of both nations is threatened. It’s time to join hands to tide over this difficult time.”
Bonn and his son received an affirmative answer, with joy on their faces. Old Bonn suddenly remembered something and asked hesitantly: "Director Ouyang, is this your personal opinion or the opinion of your government? As far as I know, your country is currently There was a fierce fight with the German government.”
Hearing Old Bon's worries, Stuart knew that they did not understand China's national conditions and what role Ouyang Yun played in Renqiu. He explained with a smile, and finally said with confidence: "I can't guarantee anything else. Qiu and even North China, what Professor Ouyang said is what the government means."
The Bonn father and son were surprised at first, and then said with a look of astonishment on their faces: "So, Renqiu is an independent kingdom, and Director Ouyang is the KING here."
Leighton Stuart translated this sentence with a smile, and then looked at Ouyang Yun waiting for his answer quietly. He also wanted to know the answer. He didn't know what kind of ambition this young man had. He would be like Yan Xishan and others. Are you satisfied with being a local emperor? Kang Dafu and Stuart Leighton have similar positions. At this time, they also looked at Ouyang Yun with an expectant expression.
Ouyang Yun shook his head decisively and said: "No, no, Renqiu will always be China's territory. There is no such thing as an independent kingdom here. The reason why we maintain military and political independence now is just because I think I can do more than the National Government." I have the confidence to do better."
This may be the last worry of the Bonn father and son, because although they have become Chinese nationals, due to geographical factors, they are actually tied to Ouyang Yun's chariot. If Ouyang Yun is really determined to build an independent kingdom, the central government will definitely They would not agree. In that case, they would not be taken advantage of by Ouyang Yun. With his assurance, the Bonn father and son made up their minds and solemnly expressed to Ouyang Yun that from now on they would strictly demand themselves from a Chinese perspective. As long as this country does not abandon them, they will fight for it and even sacrifice it, no matter what.
For Ouyang Yun now, formulating immigration policy is a very cheap thing. The reason why he treats it so grandly is to gain the recognition of the Jews from the inside out, so as to run Renqiu well and firmly control North China. Lay a solid foundation in the hands of the Chinese,
On the basis of this conversation, with Kondav as the leader, Renqiu established a special immigration policy office and began to accept Jewish immigrants on behalf of the government. On the Jewish side, using the Bonn father and son as the intermediary, first their relatives and friends began to After traveling thousands of miles from Germany to Renqiu, Jews from the United States, Shanghai and other places were influenced by them and began to pay attention to the small place of Renqiu. With the improvement and transparency of Renqiu's immigration policy, the economic construction of Renqiu With rapid development, more and more Jews began to flock to Renqiu, settling here or setting up industries. Of course, this is a story for another day.
