Regarding Song Zheyuan's attitude, not to mention Xiao Bingkun and Guo Da, two ordinary officers of the Military Academy who had only met Song Zheyuan a few times, became suspicious. Even Ouyang Yun, who had a lot of interactions with Song Zheyuan, now had no idea.
Compared with the Central Army, and even Chen Jitang, Yan Xishan and other forces, the baseless military training division is like a small boat in the revolution, and is in danger of making the same mistakes at any time. Ouyang Yun clings to the big tree of the 29th Army so closely In fact, there was nothing he could do about it. In order to maintain this increasingly delicate relationship, he not only gave the "Weiqing-style" automatic rifle and the "Qubing-style" multi-function machine gun to the 38th Division as equipment, but also took great pains to equip them in Nanyuan and A special line was set up between Ren Qiu. He believed that efforts would always be rewarded. He always believed that the 29th Army was worthy of being the "anti-Japanese vanguard" and would stand with the military training division at critical moments. However, it seems now that this is just his Just wishful thinking,
Just a week before Chen Guangming and others launched the military coup, the dedicated line broke down, causing the connection between Ouyang Yun and Song Zheyuan to be cut off. When the dedicated line was repaired, news came from Nanyuan that Song Zheyuan had returned to Shandong to repair his ancestral tombs. Now The person who temporarily takes charge of his duties is Feng Zhi'an.
At the same time, news came from Nanjing that Feng Zhian submitted a request to the National Government in the name of the acting commander of the 29th Army, claiming that he was unable to mediate the conflict between the Xuebing Division and the Huabeitun garrison, and asked the central government to send personnel to contact them. ,
One day later, Shun Tada, commander of the Huabeitun garrison, submitted a strongly worded ultimatum to the National Government. With the support and connivance of Ouyang Yun and others, the Yunrenqiu Special Administrative Region Government had rampant anti-Japanese elements in its territory, which had seriously threatened the Japanese overseas in Renqiu. In order to protect the lives and property of overseas Chinese from damage, the Huabei garrison decided to send troops to Renqiu. If there is resistance, they will be regarded as enemies of the Japanese Empire and will be resolutely eradicated.
On the day when Jun Tada sent this letter of protest, the inspection team led by Jiang Shuren successfully returned to Renqiu. The entire Renqiu, both the officers and soldiers and the people were immersed in joy.
Due to Mu Jiandie's plan, the people of Renqiu have long heard that the inspection team's trip to the United States not only introduced many new technologies, but also absorbed a lot of investment. More factories and mines will appear in Renqiu. By that time , as long as you are a Renqiu person, it will no longer be difficult to work in a factory and make money...
The common people are the most honest and have the lowest desires. Although many of them do not understand the specific meaning of "investment" and "employment", they have witnessed and found that the living standards of people who work in factories have obviously improved. As they improve, they also think that they can have such a day,
I have been away from my hometown for nearly three months, and have gone through countless ups and downs. Now I have returned safely, and I can find the smiling and tearful faces of my relatives in the crowd, whether it is a scholar like Jiang Shuren who is known for his integrity or a businessman like Shang Lang who has always been snobbish. Everyone's hearts can't help but surge with passion,
The American group touches everyone. The so-called comparison is shocking. Only when you see the wealth, strength and advancement of other people can you realize your own poverty and backwardness. Think of the cars passing by on the streets of the United States, and then look at Renqiu Street. As soon as you get on the smooth rickshaw, a force is sprouting in everyone's heart. When will China become like the United States?
Ouyang Yun returned to Renqiu from Hong Kong. After he stabilized, he tried his best to bring over the family members of most of the inspection team.
Jiang Shuren heard a familiar child's voice calling "Daddy" and glanced at Ouyang Yun's face. Then, with a rare grin, he was happy.
His wife was holding her five-year-old son Duoduo and standing behind the crowd. Duoduo waved her chubby little hands and shouted excitedly: "Daddy."
He nodded towards his wife, smiled at Duoduo, his eyes fell on Ouyang Yun's young face again, and said, "Ouyang, thank you very much."
Ouyang Yun smiled slightly,
On the way, Jiang Shuren had roughly figured out the current situation of the Military Academy and the Renqiu government. Thinking of the scene he saw when he entered Renqiu territory, where every household was busy digging air-raid shelters, his smile slowly faded and his brows furrowed. Wake up, Jiang Shuren has already expected this scene today. After working as Song Zheyuan's staff for several years, Song Zheyuan's character is clearly understood. What he is most worried about when Ouyang Yun and Song Zheyuan cooperate is that the latter will Starting from the "overall situation" and treating Ouyang Yun as an abandoned son,
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the letters of request and ultimatums issued by the 29th Army and the Huabei Tun Garrison one after another are definitely not accidental, but premeditated and communicated. When it comes to dealing with the Xuebing Division, the two sides are supposed to be enemies. have unified their stance,
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuren felt that the mutiny launched by Chen Guangming and others was no longer that simple. In a daze, he seemed to see several fishermen, each holding an end, covering Ren Qiu, Ouyang Yun and behind him with a huge net. of more than ten thousand officers and soldiers,
Renqiu Military Camp, the conference room of the Military Academy Division Headquarters, Ouyang Yun, Li Tieshu, Zhang Zhen, Guo Biao, Mu Jiandie, Kang Dafu, Fan Xudong and Jiang Shuren were sitting around a table with a sand table. Ouyang Yun said apologetically He said to Fan Xudong and Jiang Shuren: "Mr. Fan, Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to clean up your dust, but the current situation Ren Qiu is facing is so severe that we can only make up for it later." After saying that, he looked at Fan Xudong said: "Mr. Fan, I'm really sorry. I originally invited you to Renqiu to provide some guidance on Renqiu's economic construction, but now you and your family have been put in danger. Thank you again for your support." Stand with us in this critical moment." After saying this, he stood up and solemnly gave a military salute to Fan Xudong.
Tada Shun issued another statement the day after issuing the ultimatum, saying that the Huabeitun garrison's march to Renqiu was only aimed at the Renqiu government and the military training division. For businessmen and entrepreneurs doing business and investing in Renqiu, as long as they are at war If they withdraw before the deadline, they will not be held accountable for their role in aiding the tyrants.
The Japanese were so vicious that on the day the statement was issued, some businessmen who had just arrived in Renqiu went home one after another, while some who had already invested became anxious and began to look for buyers, hoping to sell the factory industrially. To leave the place of right and wrong,
In response to this situation, Ouyang Yun, Jiang Shuren and others immediately discussed the corresponding countermeasures. First, they announced the Renqiu government's position, except for official joint ventures, allowing other enterprises to enter and exit freely. If private enterprises were damaged in the war, the government would increase the tax rate. provide preferential treatment,
Fan Xudong participated in the inspection team as the economic advisor of Renqiu Special Zone, because he has not invested in Renqiu yet. If he leaves at this time, not only will there be no material loss, but also morally, no one can say anything. However, facing the Japanese Not only did he not shrink back from the threat, but he bravely took it out. On the day after Tada Jun issued his statement, he approached Ouyang Yun and proposed to jointly open a TV factory with the Renqiu government. He also said that the factory site had been selected, so he chose In Tucheng, north of Renqiu City, facing the direction of Tianjin, Fan Xudong, as a well-known industrialist in the Pingjin area, can say that his every word and action can serve as a weather vane. He made such a decision at this time, which has great consequences for the Renqiu government and the military division. In other words, that is the greatest support, so Ouyang Yun made the above statement,
Fan Xudong has been engaged in chemical industry before. The reason why he wants to start a TV factory in a new field at this time can be said to be based on the overall situation. His purpose is to develop the country's weak projects through his own efforts and let the country's The level of science and technology should not be influenced too much by European and American countries. Seeing that Ouyang Yun was so cautious, he was a little embarrassed. He stood up and waved his hands and said: "Sir Ouyang is too polite. Xudong is not a soldier and cannot go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. But' I still understand that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, I just do what I should do."
Jiang Shuren looked at this scene with relief, feeling that Ouyang Yun had grown much compared to when he went to the United States, and this was undoubtedly what the young Renqiu government and military training division needed. He smiled and said: "Okay, You two should stop being humble with these false courtesy, it would be better to analyze the current situation and make an early decision."
Today's meeting was chaired by Ji Xingwen. After Ouyang Yun and Fan Xudong sat down, he stood up and said, "Everyone, let's get into the main topic today. Everyone must be well aware that the Japanese are sharpening their knives near Wen'an. , there must be a battle between our military training division and them. The Japanese claim to be one division, but in fact, in terms of comprehensive strength, since we do not have an air force, the real strength of the Japanese who have air superiority is far away. It is not as simple as it seems on the surface, the core content of our meeting is not how to defeat the Japanese attack, but how to continue to develop under the continued harassment of the Japanese."
Hearing what Ji Xingwen said so confidently, Fan Xudong smiled and said: "From what Chief Ji said, you are confident of winning this battle."
Ji Xingwen nodded, his tone a little heavy: "Confidence is necessary, because we have no retreat at all."
"There is no way out." These words pointed out the current real situation of the military training division. Everyone couldn't help but look stern after hearing this.
Ouyang Yun saw that everyone's expressions became too solemn for a moment, and he said: "The situation that Ren Qiu and Xubingshi are in today is beyond my expectation. To be honest with you, my original ambition was not to become a 'warlord'. ." At this point, he smiled bitterly, "Many people in the country now regard me as a warlord. This really flatters me. My original plan was just to build the 29th Army into a real army under the leadership of Commander Song. It's just an anti-Japanese vanguard, but fate has its way. No matter what, the 29th Army is not monolithic in the first place. Instead of waiting to see it slowly being eroded and divided, it is better to make a decision with it earlier. I just hope that there are still people in the 29th Army who take it seriously. "Anti-Japanese Pioneer" This honor, Jiandie, you are in charge of intelligence work. Please tell us about our current true situation. If all of you can sit together, we are already on the same boat. Everyone has reason to know their true situation. situation."
