Because the special issue of "1940.2.8" triggered an unprecedented scale of mourning and protests, and because the student military government was facing an unprecedented economic crisis, Ouyang Yun could not sleep a wink all night, and a thick stack of documents was exchanged from his left hand To the right, one cigarette butt after another was extinguished in the ashtray. When a ray of morning light came through the window, Ouyang Yun coughed twice violently in the smoke, stood up and stretched.
The Japanese army gathered heavy troops to besiege Fujian. Ouyang Yun initially prepared for the worst, and was even mentally prepared to abandon Fujian and establish a second line of defense at the border of Fujian and Guangdong. However, after several magical battles on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, the Japanese army finally Both the 5th Army and the South China Front Army suffered huge casualties. More than 50,000 people were wiped out in two days and nights. He knew that the most difficult period of the Xuebing Army had passed. "Thunderbolt" and "Swordfish" appeared one after another, and both The unexpected victory dealt a painful blow to the Japanese army. The Japanese army would definitely slow down their offensive and may even end the attack. He thought this way and stood up and walked to the battle map.
The Japanese naval aviation force is temporarily unable to participate in the war. The combined fleet has withdrawn from the coast of Fujian and Guangdong. The air force can escape from the coast of Fujian and Guangdong to fully assist in the defense of the Shangrao area. Although the Japanese 5th Army still maintains a strength advantage in this area, it cannot fight alone and will certainly not dare to launch a campaign in the short term. A large-scale offensive, then, can we launch a counterattack in the southwest of Zhejiang? If we can capture the area west of Wenzhou, the guerrilla base in southwest Zhejiang will be consolidated. Another advantage is that the air force can gain air superiority with the coordination of ground forces. , so that it can more conveniently support the Taiwanese Corps, Ouyang Yun's mind raced, his eyes jumped from the southwest of Zhejiang to Taiwan across the sea, and there was an idea in his mind that was ready to move: If we can take this opportunity to drive the Japanese troops away from Taiwan in one fell swoop If, then,,
Ouyang Yun was thinking deeply when Pan Meiren's voice sounded from behind him: "Brother, Mr. Jiang is here."
"Ah, please quickly."
"Mr. Jiang, please."
Jiang Shuren walked in holding a stack of documents. After entering the room, he was choked by the smoke and coughed violently. While coughing, he said: "Ouyang, you, you haven't slept all night."
Ouyang Yun turned around and said to Pan Meiren: "Open the door to let out the smoke." He said to Jiang Shuren: "Mr. Jiang, the plan to issue war bonds has been drafted."
"I didn't sleep all night. I worked with Xiao Niu, Xiao Dai and others for more than three hours, and finally came up with a draft. Take a look at it. If it's feasible, sign it."
Ouyang Yun sat back at his desk and carefully looked through their new plan. After a few minutes, his eyes suddenly lit up and he raised his head and said, "This land sale plan is good, but the price is too cheap and too conservative. ,." When he said this, he thought of something and said, "You can make a map of Japan for detailed reference. For example, some islands can be fully priced."
Among the islands mentioned by Ouyang Yun, the focus is naturally the four northern islands of Japan and the Ryukyu Islands. A long time ago, the Xuebing Army had a certain scale. When he thought of the plan to conquer Japan, he considered the four northern islands. Got in,
At that time and space, Japan's four northern islands were forcibly occupied by Russia later. Ouyang Yun's idea was, since the Russians can occupy them, why can't we Chinese? He once still had the purpose of the four northern islands. He had the idea of establishing a country for the Jews, but as the relationship with the Jewish Chamber of Commerce became more and more tense, his idea faded away. Now, when the military government was short of money, he couldn't help but come up with the idea of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce. , with the current relationship between the two parties, it is impossible to give it to the Jews, so what if we sell it to them?
Jiang Shuren and Niu John were inspired by Ouyang Yun to exclude Japanese land from the dividends of war bonds. However, compared with Ouyang Yun's ideas, they were still too conservative.
Completely shocked, Jiang Shuren asked dumbfounded: "Is this okay? Although we have won several great victories in a row during this period, we are still a little far away from defeating Japan. Even if we can defeat Japan, it will be impossible for Western countries. Agree with us to buy and sell Japanese islands." Jiang Shuren said this. In fact, he still regarded the war bonds as an emergency measure, thinking that this was a big swindle. In the final analysis, he still lacked confidence in the Xuebing Army.
Ouyang Yun understood his thoughts and asked, "You have no confidence in our Xuebing Army."
"Of course I have confidence, but I find it difficult to convince the public."
Ouyang Yun stood up, walked to the window, looked out of the window, and said slowly: "Mr. Jiang, to tell you the truth, when the Corps was first established, the goal I set was to defeat Japan and maintain a military presence in Japan for many years. , Isn’t this goal very arrogant? At that time, we had less than 300 people. But look at the current size of our student army. In another year at most, the aircraft carrier we rebuilt in the United States will be able to join the battle order. By then, Our combat power can at least be doubled. Even the Japanese cannot defeat us at our current size. By then, do you think they can still defeat us?"
"It's true what you say, but you need someone to believe it."
"Some people will believe it. Don't worry, I have already decided on the first buyer for you."
"Oh, who can tell me, but not yourself."
Xuebingjun's current industries have more or less Ouyang Yun's shares. Among them, the pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries, he holds more than half of the shares. If we want to say who is the richest under Xuebingjun's rule, Ouyang Yun Definitely ranked first, that's why Jiang Shuren would say this,
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly when he heard this. It was true that he had money, but he had already invested it all. It was a very sad thing, just like in the military, he always wanted to get the Xuebingjun out of his influence, but in the end, his power was reversed. Economically, Ouyang Yun also wanted to separate himself from the Xuebing Military Government, just as it was becoming more and more concentrated on him. However, in fact, his and the Xuebing Army had long been confused with each other, so much so that he didn't even know how much he had invested. Money, "It's not me. You don't understand my financial situation, don't you understand John Niu? Don't worry, this person has the ability and is willing to be the leader. Moreover, he has almost nothing to do with our Xuebingjun." "
Jiang Shuren thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of this name, so he nodded and said: "Since you said that, let's do what you want. I will modify it now."
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Shuren left the headquarters with this "Fujian, Guangdong, and Qiong Special Administrative Region Government War Bond Implementation Plan." As soon as he left the office, Ouyang Yun asked Pan Meiren to call Liu Zheliang and informed him that he would be there. Treat their whole family to a banquet at noon,
Pan Meiren was a little confused at first and asked: "Brother, isn't Zheliang an orphan? Their whole family."
Ouyang Yun smiled and said: "Who said he is an orphan? His fiancée and his father-in-law are there. Aren't they a family?"
Pan Meiren immediately understood and said with a smile: "I know, the person you are talking about is Mr. Shang."
Ouyang Yun nodded: "Who else besides him? Shanglang is now contracting mines and oil fields. No one under our rule is richer than him except Fan Xudong. Fan Xudong's money has been borrowed. Now We can only count on him."
