Chapter 29 Profiteers

Maybe the emergency assembly at night was too stressful. During the morning exercises the next day, all the members of the cadet corps, including Ouyang Yun, didn't have dark circles under their eyes. Ouyang Yun didn't care at first. When he was a special forces soldier,

He has endured this training that was ten times crueler, and he is still in high spirits? Perhaps as the leader of the group, he has never paid much attention to his image, and he has very high requirements for his current image, so although he clearly feels that his body

He was a little uncomfortable, but his face still looked energetic. Of course, what he didn't expect was that such energy coupled with two dark circles under his eyes would make the combined effect somewhat funny.

No one among the cadets noticed this at first. When everyone was woken up by the morning exercise number, all they wanted to do was scold their mothers, yawned, and waited without even having time to wash their faces. However, after running for a few laps, they felt sleepy.

After washing off the sweat, everyone slowly discovered the abnormality of the comrades around them - Oops, why have we not seen each other for two hours, and this buddy next to us has turned into a giant panda? Discovering this, many people's mouths couldn't help but grin. Then,

Looking back, left, and right, I found that I was in a panda garden, and this laughing fruit was quite good.

As the chief officer, Ouyang Yun was running beside the team, so he was naturally the focus of everyone's attention. Therefore, after everyone looked at each other and smiled, their eyes finally focused on his face. Many

People couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At this time, Ouyang Yun also discovered something strange about the students. He was still lamenting that the physical fitness of the students was so poor. It seemed that he would have to strengthen training in the future. When he saw that everyone's eyes suddenly fell on his face, and each one of them

He looked overjoyed and didn't know what was going on. He looked at his clothes and saw that none of the buttons were buttoned wrong. Looking at his shoes, there was no one on his left foot and one on his right foot. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

The morning exercise finally ended, and when everyone gathered to wait for dismissal, he asked everyone: "What's going on? Is there grass growing on my face or crops growing on my face? Are you all staring at me?"

Everyone laughed. Chen Shichang stood in front of the team, holding back his laughter and said: "Team leader, it's like this. Everyone thinks you are an iron man. I didn't expect you would get dark circles under your eyes if you stayed up late."

"Ah! No way? I haven't had dark circles under my eyes for many years?" Ouyang Yun's eyes widened with disbelief - he had never had dark circles since he joined the special forces brigade.

When the trainees heard this, they were all happy. Some of them thought: The regiment leader is so funny. How old is he? He hasn't had dark circles under his eyes for many years, haha!

Seeing everyone smiling, Ouyang Yun was not angry, but a little happy. Originally, he was worried that the emergency gathering early this morning would arouse everyone's resentment. After all, these are the proud men of heaven! Well, proud men, but also

There is a saying that she is Jiao Didi... Now it seems that he is overly worried.

After everyone had laughed for a while and felt relaxed, Ouyang Yun suddenly said loudly: "Stand at attention!" Then he took the lead in standing at attention, with his chest straight.

Seeing his serious expression, the students were unconsciously infected, and they all stood at attention and stood upright.

"Take a break! Now, let me talk about the problems that occurred during the emergency gathering this morning. Problem 1: The gathering time was too slow. It took more than 200 people about eight minutes! Problem 2: Many people did not fasten their clothes properly.

Some even ran out with bare feet. Comrades, think about it, if the enemy was attacking us at that time, with our speed, could this battle still be fought? Please pay attention to our weapons.

The equipment has not been distributed yet. If you include the time of carrying the equipment, it is estimated that our team will not be able to assemble in less than a quarter of an hour." After Ouyang Yun said this, he stared at the students one by one with panda eyes.

The inspection went by.

The school grounds were completely silent for a moment, and many people lowered their heads.

Seeing someone lowering his head, Ouyang Yun frowned and said, "The person who lowered his head raised his head, what? Do you think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill? Or am I embarrassed because I realized my mistake? I declare that this is definitely not making a fuss out of a molehill.

On the battlefield, time is life - how long does it take for a bullet to fly a thousand meters? Everyone has read and learned arithmetic. This answer is not difficult to obtain. It only takes seconds! Maybe it is one second.

The difference is that you and I may lose our lives if we delay the gathering! Because of your and my death, the strength of our team will be affected and we will lose the opportunity. Perhaps, we will fail because of this. If our team fails, then,

Our entire large army may be destroyed because of our destruction, which will lead to the failure of a battle. Further, our country may perish - this is by no means alarmist! The embankment collapsed in the ant nest. This truth, I think all of you here

Everyone must understand - everyone raises their heads, we don't need to blame ourselves now, we still have a lot of things to do!? What awaits us will be a cruel battlefield, where we will become a man who stands upright and become a

The backbone of a nation - this is the mission of our soldiers! Now I announce that after breakfast, we will hold a ceremony to bid farewell to the remains of the martyrs. Comrades, think about it, yesterday, they were still training with us

, dreaming together that one day we can regain the rivers and mountains, but today, they have fallen asleep - comrades, the legacy of the martyrs needs us to fulfill, so please raise your heads!..."

In fact, Ouyang Yun still had a lot to say and many matters to draw the attention of the students. But when he mentioned the students who had sacrificed their lives this morning, he choked up and could not continue, so he had to give up the long sermon.

At 7:30 in the morning, all the members of the cadet corps who stayed at the station, except for the two sentries, participated in the farewell ceremony for the martyrs' remains. During the ceremony, many cadets cried, and many more gritted their teeth.

I secretly made a vow in my heart: one day, I will drive all the Japanese devils out of China, so that my comrades and comrades can smile.

After the ceremony, Ouyang Yun announced two more regulations. First, in order to commemorate the first battle of the Xue Corps, today, May 5th, was designated as the founding day of the Xue Xing Corps; secondly, it was stipulated that on the founding day, unless there are special circumstances,

If this happens, an event will be held to commemorate the martyrs of the Corps.

This gradually became an unshakable rule on the Army Day of the Cadet Corps. From now on, no matter where the officers and soldiers of the Cadet Corps are or what their status is, May 5th is a special day for them.

days.

What Ouyang Yun himself didn't expect was that his move, which seemed to be a whim at the time, would gradually become the soul of the "Iron-Blooded Academic Corps" growing into an iron army.

After the event to bid farewell to the remains of the martyrs, Ouyang Yun arranged for Chen Shichang to take a few people to the city to purchase coffins and tombstones, and then drove a truck to return the remains of the four martyrs of the 51st Army to the munitions department of the 51st Army. Chen Shaohua learned about the attack on the convoy.

, the first reaction was to gnash his teeth and murmur the name "Ma Benqian". It turned out that yesterday afternoon, Ma Benqian came to see him, but was blocked by the guard at the door. According to the guard, Ma Benqian wandered at the door.

It took a long time to leave. It was obvious that it was him who revealed the whereabouts of the convoy to the Japanese. Ouyang Yun learned this and even suspected that the news that he went to Song Mansion and temporarily stayed in Cai's Garden was also passed on to the Japanese by this traitor

of.

At the end of the day, Chen Shaohua said bitterly: "Ma Benqian, you are dead!"

Ouyang Yun had no time to take care of Ma Benqian now. He took out four gold bars and handed them to Chen Shaohua and said, "Uncle Chen, your subordinates have suffered accidents because of me. Please find a way to give this money to their relatives for compensation."

Bar."

Chen Shaohua turned to smile and said: "No problem, Ouyang, I didn't expect that you are so young but have a good heart."

Ouyang Yun curled his lips and said, "Uncle Chen, please deliver it to me. I'll take my leave now."

Chen Shaohua, a smart man, heard the meaning of his words and said sternly: "Ouyang, you underestimate me too much. A gentleman has a way of making money. How dare I reach out for this kind of money! Don't worry, they

I will definitely make arrangements for the family members."

Ouyang Yun didn't want to get too entangled with him on this topic. Chen Shaohua's city was too deep and he couldn't figure out his background at all. He did this just for peace of mind, so he solemnly saluted him and drove away.

After leaving the 51st Army Military Supplies Office, Ouyang Yun, under the guidance of Liu Zheliang, the orderly in the same car, drove to the 25th Division Chang Zhi'an's station. Then, under the guidance of Chang Zhi'an, they successfully met the 25th Division Military Supplies Office

Director Chang Zhilin.

After listening to his cousin's introduction, Chang Zhilin decided that Ouyang Yun, a returned overseas Chinese, was a rich man, so he took him directly into the warehouse, then pointed to the various firearms, cannons, etc. in the warehouse and asked him what he wanted.

It's strange to say that the 25th Division is a division in size, but the inventory in the warehouse is only much larger than that of the 51st Army. Not to mention brand-new guns and cannons, the broken guns and cannons piled together as scraps have simply piled up into a hill.

What caught Ouyang Yun's eye the most was a hydraulic punch and several lathes, milling machines, and boring machines that were not old but covered with dust.

He pretended not to care and looked around the entire warehouse, then shook his head and pretended to be disappointed.

Seeing his expression, the two brothers Chang Zhi'an and Chang Zhilin were puzzled. Chang Zhi'an asked: "Brother Ouyang, you don't seem to be satisfied with your appearance?"

Ouyang Yun smiled reservedly, his trait of a profiteer evident, and said slowly: "To be honest with you two, we bought a lot of guns and cannons from the 51st Army, and the bullets are enough for a year -"

Chang Zhilin felt very disappointed after hearing this and said, "So Ouyang doesn't like our things anymore?" He glared at his cousin, apparently dissatisfied with him for attracting such an uninterested buyer.

.

The purpose of Ouyang Yun's hard acting was just to lower the price and buy the machine tool he wanted most. He thought about it and said without hesitation: "Both brothers, thank you for your respect. Now that you are here, I am embarrassed to go back empty-handed. Well,

, I opened a thrift store in Peiping, and you seem to have a lot of scrap metal and stuff here, I wonder if I can sell it?"

"Sell, sell, of course!" Chang Zhilin shouted immediately, but as soon as the words came out, he didn't know why he felt inappropriate. He looked at Ouyang Yun and asked doubtfully: "You are a major opening a thrift store, I didn't listen.

Wrong?"

Ouyang Yun smiled sheepishly and nodded sheepishly.

In Chang Zhilin's eyes, the damaged guns and cannons were scrap metal, which had to be disposed of anyway. Although he felt it was inappropriate and felt like he had been cheated, he still agreed. Then, together with several machine tools, he sold them all at the price of scrap metal.

Gave it to Ouyang Yun.

Ouyang Yun got the machine tool he wanted most. In the eyes of the Chang brothers, he seemed to have suddenly become generous. He didn't think guns and guns were enough. He also bought two trucks and ten barrels of engine oil at a very fair price.

Twenty barrels of gasoline; ten light machine guns, ten boxes of bullets; ten mortars, three 75mm mountain guns and hundreds of rounds of artillery shells. Afterwards, he gave each of the two brothers a gold bar weighing half a kilogram.

He didn't want to break the self-righteous rules of the industry, but he was so moved that Chang Zhilin cut off one-third of the agreed price with a stroke of his pen. Suddenly, he was charged five kilograms less gold, which made his intestines turn green with regret.

I thought if I had known this, why not just give each of them five kilograms of gold? Does that mean that the guns here can be taken freely? I thought of the slaughter I suffered at Chen Shaohua's place, and my heart was like thousands of ants eating my heart.

of discomfort.

On the way back, Liu Zheliang saw that he looked unhappy and confused, and asked: "Is the group seat too expensive?"

Ouyang Yun grinned widely. He was worried that the car behind him was driven by Chang Zhi'an. He didn't dare to laugh too loudly and said softly: "Expensive? Silly boy? It's so cheap. I regret not sooner."

Get to know them, otherwise, you wouldn’t have spent so much money on the 51st Army. Let me tell you, two trucks cost 1,500 yuan, ten barrels of oil cost 1,000 yuan, twenty barrels of gasoline cost 4,000 yuan, and ten machine guns cost 2,500 yuan.

, Ten boxes of bullets only cost 500 yuan... In the end, I only gave 11 kilograms of gold, which converted into silver dollars is 9,240 yuan, haha! Several lathes and those cannons and shells are like giving away for free!"

Liu Zheliang was stunned when he heard this, and said to himself: Darling, I didn’t expect that our regiment leader is still a profiteer! But, how come people like the 25th Division are still smiling when their business is like this?!

——This question is difficult to explain!
