The trip to Guangdong, especially the signing of the tripartite alliance agreement between Guangdong, Guangxi and Xuebingshi, was a rare opportunity for both Ouyang Yun and Xuebingshi. This meant that Xuebingshi had truly become a warlord from a military collective. ,
If anyone compares the situation in China at this time with the separatist situation in the late Han Dynasty, they will find that there are many similarities between the two. Lao Jiang is like Cao Cao who held the emperor hostage to order the princes, while Chen Jitang A bit like Yuan Shao. As for the Gui clique and Han Fuqu and other forces, they are like Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others.
In December in Dongshan, Fujian, the weather was refreshing and pleasant. Ouyang Yun, Chen Jitang, Li, and Bai stood on a huge seaside reef under the supervision of many guards from a distance. Looking far into the distance, several small islands were hidden in the water and sky. ,
Dongshan County is adjacent to Chaozhou, Guangdong, and consists of 33 islands. It is 143 nautical miles away from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and only 210 nautical miles away from Hong Kong. Its strategic position is very important. After thoroughly understanding the geographical location of Dongshan, Ouyang Yun couldn't help but worry. Once he learns The military division and the Japs are fighting in North China, but how will Dongshan County face threats from the sea and the air? Taiwan is too close to Dongshan, and the Japs are currently the overlords in the Pacific. They have aircraft carriers. If they want to attack the Japs Dongshan seems to be too easy. The reason why Chen Jitang agreed to his conditions so generously is probably for this reason.
"Ouyang, you don't seem to be in a high mood." Seeing Ouyang Yun frown, Li Zongren said,
With a wry smile, Ouyang Yun said: "The distance between Dongshan and Taiwan is too close. The Japs have strong ships and powerful artillery, as well as aircraft carriers. As long as there is a war, Dongshan will definitely not be able to hold on for a day. When the time comes, I will put the seeds somewhere, so Situation, how can you make my mood so high?"
Chen Jitang said: "The little devil's ships are indeed strong and powerful, and our Cantonese army is not a vegetarian. Ouyang, since we have formed an alliance, you can rest assured that our Cantonese army will never sit back and watch Dongshan fall."
Bai Chongxi said: "Yes, the original intention of our alliance is to resist Japan. If we can't even protect our own territory, then what qualifications do we have to talk about other things? Don't worry, although our Guangxi is a bit far away from Dongshan, the Japanese really dare to send troops If Dongshan happens, our Gui army will never stand idly by."
Li Zongren said: "Among our three systems, only the Cantonese army has a navy. It cannot attack at sea, so shore defense should not be a problem. Although the Japanese have aircraft carriers, they also have a limited number of aircraft. We should not have a problem with defending alone."
Chen Jitang: "Speaking of aircraft carriers, I have always wanted to buy one. Unfortunately, aircraft carrier technology is in the hands of European and American powers. Japan has always been eyeing China and it is impossible to sell it to us..."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Ouyang Yun was moved when he heard this. From the perspective of future generations, the current aircraft carrier technology is not mysterious, but it costs a lot and requires a lot of special technical personnel. Therefore, he Although he had plans to build an aircraft early on, he had never thought of building an aircraft carrier. He looked at Chen Jitang and said: "Commander Chen, are you kidding me? The cost of building an aircraft carrier is not comparable to that of ordinary ships. Moreover, plus the aircraft and auxiliary ships, the cost..." Before he finished speaking, he shook his head,
Chen Jitang didn't know whether he was provoked by his words, or if he really had this intention, he replied loudly: "I know that the cost of building an aircraft carrier is extremely high, but as long as it can benefit the anti-Japanese cause, I will not hesitate to bankrupt it. Ouyang, It sounds like you can get an aircraft carrier."
His words were impassioned and upright. Li, Bai, and Ouyang listened, but they showed no expression at all. Ouyang Yun said: "I'm not 100% sure, but you can give it a try."
Chen Jitang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He was about to ask for some details when suddenly there was a gunshot, and Ouyang Yun's body shook, and he fell down.
"There is an assassin." Chen Jitang was startled, and while looking towards the place where the gunshot was fired, he shouted loudly: "Guard, guard." Li Zongren was closer to Ouyang Yun. At this time, he squatted down to carefully search for wounds, and Bai Chongxi also began to direct The men came to protect and catch the murderer,
Bai Liusu and Liu Zheliang quickly surrounded them with several Wolf Fang soldiers. They were few in number and did not dare to split up to hunt down the murderer. They were even more afraid that the murderer was sent by Chen, Li, and Bai. Therefore, Ouyang Yun's life and death were unknown. , rushed up to protect him immediately,
Due to the protection of the body armor, Ouyang Yun was naturally fine. Seeing Li Zongren searching for wounds on himself and tearing off the military uniform on his chest, he smiled and said, "Commander Li, don't worry, I'm fine." Then he sat up,
Li Zongren was shocked. He clearly saw the bullet hit his chest, but how could he be unharmed?
Seeing that Ouyang Yun was fine, everyone present felt relieved. At the same time, except for Bai Liusu and the others, everyone else looked at him with surprise.
The assassin had been discovered, a young man who was covered in water. He obviously came from the waterway. When he fired the shot, he was hiding behind a rock only sixty meters away from the giant reef where Ouyang Yun and the others were standing. One shot hit him. The goal, the conceited man must have thought that the mission was accomplished, so he threw the gun into the sea and then jumped in.
More than 30 guards from the Guangdong and Guangxi armies fired at the water where he escaped, but not even a fish was caught. They had no choice but to conduct a symbolic search on the beach.
This assassination was obviously premeditated. Seeing that Ouyang Yun was fine, Bai Liusu and others' hearts suddenly dropped to their stomachs. Bai Liusu ordered the Langya soldiers to surround Ouyang Yun and the others. Liu Zheliang said to Li Zongren: "Commander Li. , our master is invulnerable."
Rumors about Ouyang Yun's invulnerability have long spread across the country with the name of the "Anti-Japanese Heroes". However, how could a wise man like Li Zongren easily believe such bizarre rumors? Now, after hearing Liu Zheliang's words, how many people knew that the rumors were actually true? Yes, Chen Jitang believed this the most, and shouted at that time: "Ouyang, you are really invulnerable, what's the secret?" Li and Bai looked at Ouyang Yun with curious expressions on their faces,
In his heart, he blamed Liu Zheliang for talking too much. Ouyang Yun glared at him and said with a smile: "There's no secret. It's just good luck. I happened to turn sideways just now, and the bullet flew past my chest." As he said this, he tugged at Li Zongren. Show them your torn clothes,
His explanation was a bit far-fetched. Chen Jitang was dubious because he had not witnessed it with his own eyes. However, Li Zongren had witnessed the whole process and knew that he did not turn around. The bullet actually hit his chest, so he looked at him suspiciously. At a glance, Li Zongren did not expose it on the spot, but changed the subject and said angrily: "Who is so bold to come up with such a despicable method? If something really happens to Ouyang, we won't be able to clean it up even if we jump into the Yellow River."
Bai Chongxi sneered and said: "Who else is there? It must be someone from the Nanjing faction. Hum, he is the one who least wants to see us forming an alliance now."
Chen Jitang said bitterly: "Lao Bai is right. It seems that I have to ask my subordinates to be more vigilant during this period."
The original plan of the few people was to go to Dongshan County to have a look. Chen Jitang came forward and asked the county magistrate and security commander of Dongshan County to come out and meet Ouyang Yun. Now that something like this happened, Chen Jitang's guards However, the battalion commander felt that Dongshan was no longer safe and suggested returning to where he was.
Three days later, Ouyang Yun and his party, accompanied by Hu Hanmin and Xiang Hanping, who were representatives of the Guangdong government and businessmen, left Guangzhou and embarked on the journey back home. Following them was an advanced battalion of the Guangdong army. Army, they will go to Chahar to accept the North China base area where the middle school troops and divisions will be exchanged to the Guangdong Army in the agreement.
Because of the unexpected situation they encountered at the beach in Dongshan County, Bai Liusu and Liu Zheliang were particularly careful along the way. No matter where Ouyang Yun went, there were at least two Wolf Fang warriors accompanying him. Even if they went to the toilet, they would always go ahead. Following him closely made Ouyang Yun, who has a free and easy nature, take the trouble and almost got angry several times.
"I'm peeing, you go outside and wait."
"Boss, shopkeeper Bai has told us that we are not allowed to leave you for a step."
"This is the toilet, there is no one in it."
"As a precaution, we must stick to our posts."
"Go to hell."
"Boss, even if you shoot me, I will ensure your safety..."
"Okay, okay, come back, I can't urinate anymore."
Ouyang Yun really couldn't do it in front of others, so Ouyang Yun got up again before his butt even touched the seat.
Bai Liusu: "Master, what are you doing here?"
Ouyang Yun said with a sullen face: "Poop."
Hu Hanmin was surprised and asked: "Didn't you go there just now?"
Ouyang Yun rolled his eyes: "I didn't pull it out just now, so it doesn't matter."
Hu Hanmin: "Ah." Xiang Hanping: "..." Bai Liusu: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Huang, follow up."
Ouyang Yun was paralyzed on the ground and almost burst into tears: "Miss, please spare me. In front of them, I am really, really..."
"Pfft." Hu Hanmin couldn't help but laugh, while Bai Liusu couldn't help laughing or crying.
Fortunately, the passenger flow on the train was sparse at this time, so there would be no difficulty in walking for future generations. So, with Xiao Zhang or Xiao Huang as the leader, and Ouyang Yun in the middle, the three of them went to the toilet again, but this time Ouyang Yun was lucky. Not so good. When he got there, the toilet was already occupied. So, a few minutes later, Bai Liusu and others waited for Ouyang Yun and others to come back. They were anxious to go over and have a look, but finally stood up and went to the toilet. I heard Ouyang Yun scream: "Oh my god, it's going to leak."
