When the Xuebing Army was in Renqiu, it already had its own financial system. However, due to the lack of generals who could lead the overall situation, there were still various flaws in the financial industry. When the Xuebing Army's economic scale was not significant, it was still able to However, once it develops to today's scale, its limitations appear. This is one of the reasons why Ouyang Yun is so eager to recruit Rost.
Another reason is due to a condition Jiang Shuren made during the relocation negotiations with Nanjing. Because Ouyang Yun was unconscious at that time, Jiang Shuren was eager to change the plight of the Xuebing Army and promised Nanjing that if the Xuebing Military Government could be transferred to Nanjing within a year, If you cannot come up with a more advanced financial policy, then you will accept the "fiat currency reform plan", abolish the circulation of silver dollars, and use fiat currency as the only official currency. If Xuebingjun accepts "fiat currency" as the official currency, then its financial industry will It is bound to be controlled by Nanjing, which is obviously extremely detrimental to the Xuebing Military Government that seeks de facto independence. Seeing that the deadline agreed upon by both parties is getting closer and closer, no one from the Xuebing Army has been able to come up with an effective financial plan. Policy, it is not difficult to understand Ouyang Yun's mood at this moment.
Ouyang Yun obviously made the right move by bringing Bonn and his son to the United States.
In Gu Lianyun's narration, Rost was very aloof and looked at people sideways. However, maybe it was Daboll who played a role, or maybe it was because the old Bonn father and son came here across the ocean. Ouyang Yun was quite polite. After listening to Ouyang Yun's words, the old man thought for a while and said: "Well, being young is not a weakness. However, I am living very well in the United States now. I feel a little reluctant to leave rashly. Shall I think about it for a while?"
Seeing that his words were loosening, without Ouyang Yun's hint, Old Bon said: "Mr. Rossiter, our Xuebing Army really needs you. For the sake of more than one million compatriots in Guangdong, please agree to our request." .”
Looking at Old Bonn with some surprise, perhaps because of the words "We are a student army", Rost asked: "Mr. Bonn, do you hold an important position in the Xuebing Army?"
"Yes, I am the chairman of the Jewish Autonomous Council."
The Jewish Autonomous Council was a product that only came into existence after arriving in Guangdong. The reason why Ouyang Yun wanted to upgrade the Jewish Chamber of Commerce to such an organization was to rule the Jews with Jews. After several months of practice, it was proved that his original decision was Wisely, now, Jews are much more enthusiastic about participating in military activities. This is secondary. The most important thing is that Cantonese people are no longer as sensitive to Jews as they were in the past. The reason is that the Jewish Autonomous Committee Internal legislation began to regulate the business and daily behavior of Jews, which reduced the friction between Jews and Cantonese people a lot, and naturally allowed the latter to gradually eliminate their dislike of the former.
"Jewish Autonomous Committee, are you able to govern yourself?" Rost asked Old Bonn, but looked at Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun nodded affirmatively and said: "Of course, the territory we control now is too small, so we can only demarcate residential areas for you. When the area we control becomes larger in the future, it is entirely possible to demarcate a county or even a province for you to govern yourself. Yes, Mr. Rossiter, have you studied your history?" After receiving Rossiter's affirmative answer, Ouyang Yun continued: "Then, you don't know the fundamental reason why your nation has suffered so many disasters. "
Rost's face turned ugly,
Ouyang Yun curled his lips slightly, knowing that he had hit the opponent's vital point. He said: "I have also done a little research on the history of your nation. According to my personal opinion, I think the reason why you are always bullied is , the key point is that you don’t have your own country. The term country may be too broad, so to speak more narrowly, you don’t have your own territory. Mr. Rossiter, please forgive me for being arrogant. I think in the next ten years, you Jews will be the one who owns it. Looking for their own territory, or even the opportunity to establish their own country, in the West, Hitler will launch a war of aggression sooner or later; in the East, Japan has always been ambitious to expand outwards, and it is foreseeable that a war will be no smaller than World War I. The range war is about to start, and when the time comes, your opportunity will come. As long as you see the situation clearly now and choose to stand on the side of the victor, I think you should be able to win a place by then. I dare not say that in other places. In the East, our Xuebing Army should be able to help you win it."
Ouyang Yun's words were shocking no matter who heard them, but he was by no means speaking in general terms. From the day he prepared and absorbed the Jews, he had mature ideas.
The territory he envisioned for the Jews was the four northern islands of Japan.
In his time and space, the four northern islands were finally controlled by the Soviets and then inherited by Russia. To change this outcome, China must replace the Soviet Union and become the main anti-fascist force in Asia. Can China do this? It's very confusing. There are two difficulties. First, China's own strength must be strong enough. Second, how to limit the performance of the Soviet Union.
From Ouyang Yun's various arrangements when he was in Renqiu, we can actually find the long-term arrangements for the above two points. The most obvious point is that in terms of military technology, the Xuebing Army let go of the Japanese army. Of course, doing so would be playing with fire and burning oneself. possibility, and in order to prevent this, it must be a prerequisite that the Xuebing Army is strong enough.
Roosevelt was obviously frightened by Ouyang Yun's bold idea. The biggest dream of Jews, young and old, rich and poor, was undoubtedly to build their own country. However, after many years and generations of struggle, they still It still failed to come true. Roosevelt stood up and looked at Ouyang Yun deeply for nearly five minutes. Seeing that the other person's expression remained the same, he bent down, bowed, and choked up and said: "Sir, if this is true, you will be our Jews." As your savior, we will erect a monument for you so that future generations will never dare to forget your kindness."
After helping him up, Ouyang Yun said: "It's too early to talk about this. Now, we need your help."
"No problem. Regardless of whether it is possible or not, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it is worth our struggle. Sir, you have ignited the light in my heart that was almost extinguished. Thank you so much."
After successfully capturing Rost, it was much easier to convince the next two. With Rost's assistance, Sharif and Huaboz finally agreed to Ouyang Yun's request, although they had their doubts. At this point, Ouyang Yun's U.S. execution It is more than half successful, and the next step is to negotiate the transfer of some core technologies.
Because Ouyang Yun has a massive amount of information provided by his handheld computer, he has mastered too many key technologies. Unfortunately, the territory controlled by Xuebingjun is too small, and the Chinese authorities are not trustworthy. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to sharing these interests with the Americans,
Ouyang Yun stayed in the United States for a total of six days, and he spent the last three days in New York.
On the second day after arriving in New York, he experienced a false alarm. He never expected that he would be noticed by Hitler, the demon king of World War II. The reason why the latter chose to send people to contact him at this time and place was actually because Want to cooperate with him,
No matter how future generations evaluate Hitler, there is a period of history that should not be forgotten by the Chinese, and that is Hitler's goodwill towards the Chinese. According to reliable historical records, the reason why Hitler regarded the Chinese as different from other people of color stems from When he was a boy, he received support from an overseas Chinese couple. As for Germany's help and support for China, it was particularly outstanding in its military cooperation in the years before the start of World War II. This is also the true origin of the Central Army's German Arms Division. If it were not for China The performance was too weak at that time. It is not difficult to believe that Hitler would even choose China as his ally in Asia.
Back to New York,
The person who secretly met with Ouyang Yun was a military attache from the German Embassy in the United States. When he was first introduced to Ouyang Yun, the latter thought he was an American businessman. But after he reported his family name, he learned that he was actually an American businessman. is German,
The German military attache was not too polite. After exchanging pleasantries, he directly took out a document and handed it to Ouyang Yun, saying that one of the letters was dictated by the head of state himself.
Hitler stated in the letter that although he was far away in Europe, he still noticed the rise of the Xuebing Army and the strong technology displayed by the Xuebing Army, and believed that the Xuebing Army was the only advanced army in the world that could keep up with the German army. , hoping that the two parties can cooperate more in the military field. At the end of the letter, he proposed that the two parties establish a military research laboratory. The laboratory will be composed of the smartest Aryans and Han people in the world, and joint research can represent the world's most advanced level of military technology, and gave examples: such as missiles, a big bomb that can destroy a city. Of course, in order to show sincerity, the Xuebing Army must expel the Jews... and so on.
The German government has a military cooperation agreement with the central government in Nanjing. Ouyang Yun is clear that the reforms initiated by the Central Military Army last year actually originated from the recommendations of the German Military Advisory Group.
The astute Gu Lianyun did not let anyone know about the German military attache's request. However, in the United States, it is almost impossible to remain unknown. Considering this, Ouyang Yun only accepted the document and immediately He waved the guest off and asked Liu Kui to invite the former out.
Cooperating with Hitler, just kidding, let’s not talk about success or failure. Even if he succeeds, he will definitely become a notorious figure in the history of future generations. By then, history still doesn’t know what changes will occur. This issue does not need to be considered at all. , Ouyang Yun is now worried about how to solve the possible sequelae of this meeting.
Are you directly confessing to the Jews? This will undoubtedly make them feel more confident about themselves. However, the Germans must have spies in the United States, so they can accurately grasp their whereabouts. Once they know this, the Germans will be crazy at the moment. ,Ouyang Yun is worried that he will become a target of targeted eradication.
He is not afraid of death, but if he dies now, the student army will inevitably fall into division, and then it may be eaten or even eliminated. In that case, everything he has done before will be in vain, and he will lose the student army. To check and balance Japan, God knows what the future war of resistance will be like. If it really leads to defeat, he will not be able to escape the blame even if he dies... After thinking about it, he finally decided to conceal this matter from the Jews, but he had to If he confessed to Roosevelt, the Americans would definitely find out about the German military attache's visit, and asking them to help them hide the Jews would become their only option.
So before leaving, Ouyang Yun had another phone call with Roosevelt.
This was a move he made out of necessity, but unexpectedly it planted a root of disaster, and the reason why it happened was because he said the following words in order to make Roosevelt believe that the United States would sooner or later be dragged into a world war in the near future: I I know you don't believe it now, so let's make a bet. I bet that Germany will launch an attack on Poland on September 1, 1939, and then you will issue a "Declaration of Neutrality." Don't ask me where I got this information. , in short, before my prediction or lie is confirmed, please help me keep this secret,
The last American guest that Ouyang Yun met in the United States was Juan Tripp, who was the manager of American Airlines, the predecessor of Pan Am Airways. Previously, Pan Am Airways had obtained the mail from San Francisco to Guangdong in 1935. transportation contract, and intended to establish a wholly-owned airline in China, so that passengers traveling to China could transfer to the company's aircraft in Hong Kong and go to other places with open routes. However, it had to be delayed due to the subsequent Guangdong and Guangxi Incident and regime changes. For this plan, Ouyang Yun is now the actual person in power in Guangdong. If he can get his recognition, it will undoubtedly be conducive to Pan American's development of this business. Ouyang Yun, who is familiar with this history, has no choice but to get a share of the pie. After his suggestion Next, Juan agreed to establish a joint venture company, in which Pan American held 51% of the shares and Xuebingjun held 49% of the shares. The two parties would collaborate to develop aviation business in China.
Don’t think that Ouyang Yun reached this agreement because he took a fancy to the domestic aviation industry market and future. In doing so, his first consideration was actually to facilitate the recruitment of talents for the Xuebing Army. After all, the distance between the United States and Guangdong is too far. , and the ship's sailing time is too long. Secondly, it is to make Guangdong and the United States more closely connected, which is naturally of great benefit to promoting economic and trade exchanges between the two places, and for the subordinate enterprises of Xuebingjun Development is naturally extremely beneficial.
Before they knew it, the scheduled return date arrived. For nearly a week, Ouyang Yun and Gu Lianyun almost went out in pairs, and they spent several hours together at night. In the former's private words to the latter: I was almost drained by you. However, when the breakup came, Gu Lianyun still felt reluctant to leave. He said more than once: I want to go back with you. I don’t want to stay in this damn America for a minute without you. What's the point of living around me?
This was said, but both of them knew it, so they could only talk about it. Before boarding the plane, for the first time, Ouyang Yun did not shy away from everyone. He hugged Gu Lianyun tightly in his arms and used American talent to Some people have a habit of kissing her lips and whispering in her ear: "Believe me, it won't be long before we are separated again, I promise."
"I just believe you once." Gu Lianyun said, trying hard to give him a smile to make his journey more comfortable, but in the end he still couldn't help but burst into tears.
