Ouyang Yun quickly mobilized all the known information in his mind and quickly made a judgment on the relationship between Hu Hanmin and Chen Jitang: Although Hu Hanmin and Chen Jitang both belong to the Cantonese family, their positions are not the same. In the final analysis, they are still butts. Determining the brain issue, although Hu Hanmin is the spiritual leader of the powerful southern faction, he has no real power in his hands, while Chen Jitang holds the military and political power. Perhaps, he wants to make further progress and replace the old Chiang Kai-shek of it,
After thinking for a while, Ouyang Yun did not answer Hu Hanmin's question directly. Instead, he pretended to be confused and asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic: "Who is the tall and thin man?"
Hu Xiang and the two laughed loudly, and Xiang Hanping said: "I forgot that Ouyang is not from Cantonese. Haha, the tall and thin guy is Chen Jitang's nickname."
"Oh." Ouyang Yun showed a smile on his face and said: "This nickname is really wonderful." After a pause, he got to the point: "Regarding 'Weiqing' and 'Qubing', the principle of our military training division is that as long as it is Anyone who is willing to resist Japan can own the Chinese army. The Guangdong Army is a revolutionary army with a glorious tradition. The boy has always admired it. Commander-in-Chief Chen is also a wise leader who cares about people's livelihood and the great cause of the country. He sold weapons to the Guangdong Army. ,I don’t have any opinion, but, with all due respect, the current domestic situation, I don’t think it is the best time to replace Nanjing with Guangzhou.”
Hu Xiang and the two looked at each other, and the former's expression became solemn: "Ouyang is absolutely right, and I think so too. The internal conflicts among the Chinese people can be postponed for a while, but external threats must be eradicated first."
The latter continued: "However, given the current situation, it is unlikely that our Guangdong clique will directly participate in the anti-Japanese war. At least Nanjing is in the middle, and Han Fuju, Fu Zuoyi, Song Zheyuan, let alone them, North China belongs to their territory, and the Cantonese clique If the tentacles are extended too long, they will definitely not let you go." At this point, he looked at Ouyang Yun curiously and asked, "This makes me feel strange. Han Fuqu and others are not vegetarians. How can they? They will be indifferent to the rise of the military academy."
Ouyang Yun was stunned. Speaking of which, he had never thought about this problem. Thinking about it, North China was the traditional sphere of influence of Han Fuqu and others. As a newcomer, how could they let Xuebingshi leave it alone?
"You underestimated Ouyang." Hu Hanmin glanced at Xiang Hanping and said, "Do you think his regional sales rights for penicillin were granted casually? Huh, Han Fuqu or Yan Xishan, in the final analysis, they are just a few landlords. We are just rich, how can we compare with our Guangdong? Our Guangdong has sugar factories and fertilizer factories. What do they have in Shandong and Shanxi? Let's get back to the subject, Ouyang, aren't you wondering why we have to contact you behind the back of a tall and thin man? I will do it now Let me tell you the reason. With your intelligence, you will definitely not refuse to cooperate with the lanky guy. I will tell you some cooperation details now..."
The treaty for cooperation between the three factions of Guangdong, Guangxi and Xue (Studying Military Division) was drawn up when Ouyang Yun was still on the train. Hu Hanmin, as a veteran of the Guangdong faction, was fortunate enough to participate, so he knew the details.
With the cooperation of the three parties, the old enemies of Guangdong and Guangxi as a whole will provide public opinion and political support for the Cadet Division to officially become an independent force. Moreover, Guangdong will also provide a one-time free financial aid of two million oceans. The Guangxi faction will provide it with one division of veteran soldiers, and the price the student division needs to pay is to provide a base for the Guangdong army in Chahar and help Guangdong and Guangxi each establish a "Weiqing" and "Body-removing" production line ,
As the central content of the contract, the three parties must maintain a consistent direction in the future military and political affairs. This is equivalent to tying the military training division to the chariot of Guangdong and Guangxi against Chiang Kai-shek.
Under this condition, the military training division does not seem to be at a disadvantage. However, Chen Jitang planted the seeds of the Guangdong style in its inner circle, and a division of Guangxi officers and soldiers was mixed into the army. This will be a good or bad thing for the future development of the military training division. variables,
After introducing these situations, Hu Hanmin asked Ouyang Yun: "What do you think?"
Ouyang Yun didn't answer for a long time. He frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Hanping said to Hu Hanmin: "This matter is of great importance. Ouyang definitely needs time to think about it carefully."
Ouyang Yun's heart was indeed turbulent at the moment, with thousands of thoughts, but there was nothing about cooperation among them. His thoughts were completely attracted by Xiang Hanping's previous words, as Xiang Hanping said, Han Fuqu, Yan Xishan, Fu Zuoyi, none of these people are fuel-efficient. So, how can they tolerate the rise of the military training division? Is it really because of profit? However, the supply of penicillin to North China is only a small amount, and whether Hu Hansan passed What method was used to obtain the confidential information of the Military Academy? How many spies had infiltrated into the Military Academy? It is conceivable that those who have access to oil secrets must be of high rank.
After about a quarter of an hour, Hu Hanmin saw that Ouyang Yun was still frowning and did not speak, so he asked impatiently: "Is it so difficult to decide?"
Under his urging, Ouyang Yun finally collected his thoughts and came to his senses. Remembering that the Hu Han militiamen had not told the reason why he had come to confront him, he sighed and asked, "Sir, what suggestions do you have?"
"You can accept this agreement. Of course, if you don't want to suffer a loss, you can add a condition. As far as I know, you and Zhang Zizhong are planning to build Dagukou into a trade terminal."
"yes."
"Dagukou faces the Japanese naval threat from the direction of Lushun. Ouyang, without a navy, are you sure you can defend Dagukou under a double attack by sea and air?"
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "Not sure."
"Then why not block it directly? It is difficult to defend Dagukou, but it is not difficult to block it. That way, you can completely ignore the threat from the sea."
"However, without the entrance to the sea, how can the industrial advantage of our military academy be transformed into an economic advantage?"
Hu Hanmin smiled: "That's why I want you to add a condition. You know, there are many seaports in Guangdong and Guangxi, and now Fujian also belongs to Guangdong and Guangxi's sphere of influence. It may be a little bit to get the seaports in Guangdong and Guangxi. Difficult, but getting a port in Fujian should not be a problem."
Ouyang Yun's heart moved, but when he thought about the actual distance between Renqiu and Fujian and the vast Nanjing-controlled area in between, he gently shook his head and said: "It won't work. The distance between Renqiu and Fujian is too far, and there are many places in between. Nanjing’s territory.”
"Then just move the factories here. Of course, in order to ensure the safety of these factories, you can also dispatch an army here."
"This plan is indeed good, but are Chen Jitang, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi willing to do it?"
"This can be solved by me." Hu Hanmin said confidently,
Ouyang Yun looked at him, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he asked: "So, what do I need to do for sir."
Hu Xiang and Hu Xiang smiled at each other. The former smiled and said: "It's a pleasure to talk to smart people. Ouyang, since you have already thought of it, I won't be polite. We would like to ask you to train an army for us in North China." .”
Ouyang Yun was puzzled: "If the agreement is reached, don't you already have a base in North China? Oh, no, sir, could it be said that you and Commander-in-Chief Chen..." He asked tentatively, without finishing his words.
Hu Hanmin stood up, his expression very solemn, and he said leisurely: "As you said, our Cantonese clique, as the direct descendants of the Prime Minister, has a glorious revolutionary tradition. However, if you look at the current Cantonese clique, they still have Can they be called direct descendants of the Prime Minister? Today's Cantonese clique is equivalent to the lanky man's private army. If the lanky man is really determined to resist Japan and just oppose Chiang Kai-shek, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives... If we can If there is an army that is loyal to itself, the situation in Guangdong and even South China will change. General Ouyang, I need a new Guangdong army that can compare with the U.S. Army."
As the force established by Mr. Zhongshan in his initial uprising, the Cantonese clique has developed over the past few decades. The complexity of the factions has been far beyond what Ouyang Yun, a young boy, could have imagined. After listening to Hu Hanmin's discussion, he frowned I fell into deep thought again, should I cooperate with the old Cantonese clique represented by Hu Hanmin and others? However, these people have no real power to rely on, and no one knows how far they can go. As for Chen Jitang's new Cantonese clique, Guangdong is now the natural spokesperson. Although its personnel composition is not monolithic, the condensed Cantonese clique is undoubtedly powerful and is what the military training division needs. Perhaps, there is no inevitable connection between the two. Anyway, Hu The Han people just asked themselves to help them secretly train a team in North China, and having a seaport in Fujian was undoubtedly important to the military training division. In the near future of the Anti-Japanese War, even if the military training division could not defend Renqiu, it would be difficult for them to do so. A place to stay, Ouyang Yun thought, and finally decided to accept Hu Hanmin's suggestion.
So, on this night in South China, Ouyang Yun, on behalf of the Xuebing Division, reached an agreement with the old Cantonese clique headed by Hu Hanmin.
"Mr. Ouyang, it's a pleasure to cooperate." When sending Ouyang Yun out, Hu Hanmin held his hand tightly and said,
Xiang Hanping stood aside and said with a smile: "Mr. Ouyang, I hope it won't be too long before we meet again."
In the agreement, the army trained by the Xuebing Division for the old Cantonese clan will be commanded by Xiang Hanping. This is why he said this,
Ouyang Yun said with a smile: "It won't be long. As long as Dongshan starts building the port, I think we will meet." The so-called Dongshan port construction was what Ouyang Yun said in response to his own conditions in the agreement, and Hu Hanmin made the decision. It was said that the Xuebing Division could choose any place in the coastal area of Fujian to build a port, so Ouyang Yun chose Dongshan County, which is adjacent to Guangdong.
Hu Hanmin smiled, waved his hand and said: "Now that the agreement has been signed, I, Mr. Hu, will never break my promise. However, Mr. Ouyang must not be intimidated by the tall and thin man. If you don't insist, I will be alone." It’s useless to try your best.”
Ouyang Yun smiled and nodded, waved to them, and then left.
