The deeper the German delegation entered the area controlled by the Xuebing Army, the more and more Falkenhausen became curious about Ouyang Yun. At the same time, after reviewing a large amount of information, Ouyang Yun became more and more curious about Falkenhausen and the troops he led.
The favorability of the delegation has also skyrocketed. In the history of China's Anti-Japanese War, there are some foreign friends who deserve to be remembered forever. Among these people, Falkenhausen is definitely at the forefront. Before this, although Ouyang Yun knew Falkenhausen
Sen was the last head of the German military advisory group to aid China. He had contributed to the country's Anti-Japanese War, but he did not know much about his deeds. As the understanding deepened, he learned that Falkenhausen served the country for the sake of the country.
After discovering what contribution he had made during the Anti-Japanese War, he was in awe of the old German man and began to really pay attention to this visit.
On April 28, Ouyang Yun led Ji Xing, Li Tieshu, Chu Tiange, Guo Kui, He Zhengjiang, Tie Linfei, Stern and Chen Yuanyang, who was stranded in Guangzhou, and other high-level students of the student army at the German Consulate in Guangzhou such as Ridian.
Accompanied by personnel, the German delegation led by Falkenhausen was welcomed out of Guangzhou City ten miles away and entered Guangzhou City.
Fakenhausen might have disapproved of being treated with such courtesy by the Xuebing Army if he had not seen many miracles of the Xuebing Army. But now, the old man was excited. Ouyang Yun welcomed the German representatives with an unprecedented high standard for the Xuebing Military Government.
Even Lidian was surprised and puzzled by the delegation's visit.
What is the plan of this oriental barbarian? Is he acting for the Chongqing government and the Japanese? Reed thought this with peace of mind, but did not forget his responsibilities on his face. He followed Ouyang Yun to greet him. He was about to introduce him.
But he saw that Ouyang Yun had already walked quickly to Falkenhausen, stretched out his hands and said: "General Falkenhausen, welcome to Guangzhou!"
Falkenhausen had already guessed the identity of the young admiral. The excited old man was already ready to take the initiative to greet him, but he was still a step too slow.
Ridian took a step slower, with sweat on his forehead. He felt more and more that Ouyang Yun had a conspiracy, and quickly stood between the two of them and said to Falkenhausen: "General Fankenhausen, this is the highest commander of the Fujian, Guangdong, and Qiongzhou Special Administrative Region.
And General Ouyang Yun, the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army. Commander-in-Chief Ouyang is so enthusiastic. He took the generals of the Xuebing Army ten miles out of Guangzhou to greet them. General, have you met before?"
"No, no, this is my first time, the first time I have met the Commander-in-Chief," the old man was a little incoherent with excitement. Apparently he was a little flattered by this kind of courtesy. However, after all, he had seen big scenes, so he quickly
He calmed down, shook Ouyang Yun's hand and said, "Before I came here, I heard how young the Commander-in-Chief of the Xuebing Army was, but when I saw him in person, I was still shocked - Commander-in-Chief, you are really
Too young and promising. Standing with you, I suddenly developed a serious inferiority complex!"
Everyone in the world thinks that Germans are more calm than humorous, but Falkenhausen does not seem to be one of them. The old man looked at Ouyang Yun carefully and felt the enthusiasm and respect from the other side's eyes. He suddenly understood.
What? He let go of his hand and continued: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please allow me to introduce you to the other members of the delegation." Then he turned to Ouyang Yun and introduced his members one by one.
"Welcome back to China!" "You can regard this place as your second hometown!" "I have heard of you, thank you for risking your life to go to our front line of the Anti-Japanese War."... Ouyang Yunhe delegation
The members shook hands one by one. To everyone's expectation, he seemed to know every member of the delegation. His welcome words were not falsely polite, but were all on target. This made Reid feel more and more uneasy.
As he went deeper, he suddenly thought: "Could it be that the Eastern barbarians want to keep the delegation in Guangzhou? This is not possible."
Ridian was secretly frightened, and Ji Xing and others were also confused. Everyone in the Xuebing Army had no objection to going out of the city to greet the German delegation. After all, these people had helped the country and could be regarded as friends of the people of the country. The people of the country have always known that
Repaying a favor, it is a rare opportunity to repay Li's favor. But now it seems, did the commander-in-chief go too far?
Falkenhausen introduced the members of the delegation to Ouyang Yun one by one, and Ridian also introduced everyone behind Ouyang Yun to Falkenhausen and the others. Because Ouyang Yun deliberately showed great courtesy, Ji Xing and others naturally had no choice but to
They followed suit, but when it was Stern's turn, an embarrassing situation still arose.
Stern had convinced himself in his heart that he must behave like a soldier, but when he came to a member of the delegation named Benjamin, he still could not control his emotions. "I will not fight with someone who kills me."
Shake hands with the executioners of the tribe," Stern said to Ridian, tilting his head and walking away from Benjamin.
Benjamin's outstretched hand froze, and the atmosphere at the scene also froze. Almost everyone felt embarrassed. In addition, some members of the delegation could no longer conceal their anger. Their sharp eyes stared at Stern, if
If Falkenhausen had not stopped them with his eyes, someone would probably have fought back on the spot.
Ouyang Yun had expected that such a scene would occur, but underestimated the seriousness of the matter. He frowned slightly, and then said: "Everyone, we are all soldiers, so I think we all understand the sacred meaning of the term soldier.
Soldiers must obey the will of the country. This is determined by the bounden duty of soldiers. But I think this should not involve other things such as ethnic disputes and personal likes and dislikes. General Falkenhausen, what do you think?"
Falkenhausen thought for a while and replied calmly: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I agree with your point of view. War is a stage for soldiers and has nothing to do with other people. Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, in order to show the sincerity of our visit, Your Excellency the Head of State specially asked me to
I have brought you a gift and asked me to express my sincerest greetings to you on his behalf. Major Benjamin, please go and get the gift from His Excellency the Head of State."
Hitler's gift to Ouyang Yun was a brand new MP38|40 submachine gun. This is currently the best individual weapon for the German infantry and is also the product that best represents the level of German engineering. The relevant information collected by the German intelligence agency
The intelligence on the army was not detailed, such as Wei Qing-style firearms. Of course, they may have done this deliberately to suit Hitler's preferences.
Falkenhausen originally did not want to present it at this time. After seeing the power of the Wei Qing submachine gun, the "sincerity" represented by this gift has been greatly reduced. Falkenhausen originally wanted to present this gift on a more private occasion.
It was a gift, but now in order to lighten the atmosphere, I can only shamelessly offer the treasure in public.
Ouyang Yun took the MP38|40 from Benjamin, skillfully opened the safety and pulled the bolt, then fired a shot into the sky, smiled at Falkenhausen and said: "Please express my gratitude to Hitler's Führer for me. Very good.
submachine gun, I think I will keep it as a private collection. Haha, this will be the second mp38|40 in my collection."
