So when Song Zheyuan proposed to establish a military government in Yicha, first carry out Yicha autonomy and strengthen its own strength, no one, including Ouyang Yun, raised any objections.
Historically, the 29th Army's North China Autonomy was a matter of November. However, due to the emergence of Ouyang Yun, the pace of history seems to have become faster. First, the "Qin Tu Agreement" and the "He Mei Agreement" were signed in advance, and then directly triggered the "One or Two"
The Yicha autonomy of the "Nine Movements" also took place in advance.
"If you have any ideas, feel free to mention them now, but after the meeting, I hope that everyone will firmly use this as a guideline for future actions and never act emotionally!" Song Zheyuan said, his eyes fell on Ouyang Yun's face, and said: "Don't just think about it.
Laugh, I’m most worried about you! It’s a good thing that young people are passionate, but since you are a member of the 29th Army, you must think about the future of tens of thousands of soldiers before doing anything. You can no longer do things just based on your preferences like before.
There is a reason for what he said. The reason why the 29th Army took the risk of setting up a military government was actually coerced by the Japanese. Three days ago, when he was still in Tianjin, Doihara Ken
The second came to the door, took out the North China Autonomy Plan that had been planned for an unknown period of time, asked him to sign it, and threatened that if Song Dynasty could not implement this plan before the end of June, the Japanese army would send troops to Hebei and Shandong. Song Zheyuan was forced to
Helpless, on the one hand, I did not dare to sign and become a national sinner, but on the other hand, I was already ready to compromise. After communicating with Qin Dechun, Zhang Weifan, and Xiao Zhenying, I decided to first pass this opinion within the military, and then choose the appropriate time to issue it.
The whole country was electrified and autonomy was declared in a euphemistic way.
Everyone present here is a veteran in the officialdom, so they naturally understand the ambiguous relationship. Ouyang Yun is familiar with this period of history, and also knows what Song’s words mean. Everyone looked at him, and Qin Dechun laughed and said: "Military seat
This is a good reminder. Brigadier Ouyang is the 'two heroes of the Anti-Japanese War'. Today is different from the past. Brigadier Ouyang, you are now the representative of the new force of the 29th Army. You cannot rely solely on your will to do things."
Yicha autonomy is the result that Ouyang Yun dreams of. Otherwise, many of his grand plans will not be carried out at all. After this period of experience, he has an understanding of the domestic political environment and the personalities of Song Zheyuan and others.
, Hearing this, he nodded and said seriously: "Thank you two commanders for your teachings. I have learned from you. Deputy Commander Qin, Ouyang is a junior. If you don't want to give up, please call me Ouyang." He looked at everyone and said.
: "We are all older than me and are Ouyang's father-in-law and elder brother. If we don't see anyone else, please call me by my name."
Song Zheyuan said: "That's how it should be - since we are destined to work together, we are like a family. Ouyang is the youngest among us and has the most junior qualifications. In many places, we need your guidance and support. Well, we will all work together from now on."
Call him by his first name, it sounds more friendly."
Zhang Zizhong looked at Ouyang Yun and said: "Since the military commander said so, then from now on we will rely on our elders and call brother Ouyang by his first name."
Song Zheyuan said: "Everyone, everyone has a clear understanding of the current situation of our army. Let's talk about expansion and defense issues."
This is the theme of today's meeting and the essence of sharing the cake. Everyone's spirits were lifted and they straightened their postures. The atmosphere in the conference room became a little serious for a while.
"After discussions with Lao Qin and Lao Zhang, Xiong Bin also agreed on behalf of Lao Jiang. Based on the original framework, our army plans to expand as follows - among them, the 37th Division will be 4 brigades and 9 regiments, and an additional brigade and 3 regiments will be added.
, responsible for the defense of Peiping; the 38th Division is composed of 5 brigades and 11 regiments, adding 2 brigades and 5 regiments, and is responsible for the defense of Tianjin; the 132 Division is expanded to 4 brigades and 8 regiments, adding 1 brigade and 2 regiments, and moves to the front line of Neiqiu and Xingtai; the 143 Division adds 2 brigades
The establishment of the 5th regiment is responsible for all the defense of Chahar; the student regiment has been expanded into an independent student brigade, with three regiments and one special agent battalion, responsible for the defense of the Qiu area. In addition, certain security forces will be set up in each region according to the situation.
Directly under the command of the local garrison..."
Since it concerned the overall situation, it took Song Zheyuan about twenty minutes to read out the order for the deployment and expansion of the 29th Army. Finally, he asked: "Do you have any opinions?"
Zhao Dengyu immediately stood up and said: "Military seat, Renqiu is in the heart of Hebei and is close to Pingjin. Is it inappropriate to let the independent brigade defend it? Once a war breaks out in Pingjin, the independent brigade is a second-line force, and its reaction and strength will have a huge impact on the battle situation.
It’s quite big!”
Renqiu was originally the defense line of the 132nd Division. After Zhao Dengyu led his troops there, he had already built a military camp and made some personnel arrangements. If the defense was suddenly moved like this, the previous arrangements would be in vain. In addition, as he said,
Renqiu is the rear area of Pingjin. Once the battle between Pingjin and Pingjin begins, the response and mobilization of the Renqiu garrison will have a very important impact on the battle situation. The independent brigade is mainly composed of students, and the brigade commander Ouyang Yun is so young. Can he be qualified for such an important task?
The independent brigade was able to mobilize and defend Renqiu, and naturally it was Qin Dechun who played a role. The 29th Army stationed in Hebei, and a military government will definitely be formed in the future. In this way, the top administrator of Renqiu will naturally be Ouyang Yun. As the think tank of the 29th Army, Qin Dechun naturally understands
The importance of Renqiu to the overall situation of the 29th Army - Ouyang Yun didn't know what method Chen Hanlin used to convince Qin Dechun to help him, but this was not his biggest concern. What he wanted most now was Renqiu's underground
of oil.
Since Qin Dechun was able to persuade Song Zheyuan to transfer the independent brigade to Renqiu, his reasons were of course very good. He smiled and said: "Deng Yu, this is actually what I meant. You don't know yet, but there are treasures hidden under Renqiu."
Woolen cloth."
"Huh?" Everyone couldn't help but wonder, thinking that since there is treasure underground in Renqiu, why should Ouyang Yun, a foreigner, be taken advantage of?
Qin Dechun's next sentence solved everyone's doubts: "There is oil underground in Renqiu, and Ouyang happens to have the technology to mine and refine it. This is the reason why the independent brigade is dispatched to Renqiu. As for the independent brigade in the event of a war in the future,
Can it play its due role?" He glanced at Song Zheyuan and said: "The military positions have been decided. An all-army drill will be held on New Year's Day next year. If the independent brigade cannot enter the top three, Renqiu's defense will be rearranged.
—Deng Yu, do you think this is good?"
What does oil mean in modern society? No one among the generals in the 29th army was clear. For a moment, many people's eyes became hot. Zhao Dengyu said: "My dear, is this true?" Looking at Qin Dechun, he asked: "Vice Deputy Qin
Commander, how did you know?"
Qin Dechun smiled slightly and said: "I have an old friend who knows an American exploration team and got the news from them. Everyone, once we have fuel, it is possible for us to form a tank and aircraft force-"
His eyes fell on Ouyang Yun's face and asked: "Ouyang, my old friend said that you have mastered the technology of extracting and refining oil. Is this true?"
Ouyang Yun nodded and said: "Yes, I have also seen information about oil in Renqiu in American geographical magazines. I think as long as we can buy the equipment, mining and refining will not be a problem." He stood up and faced Song Zheyuan.
He saluted and said: "Military Commander, I have a question I would like to ask."
Song Zheyuan nodded and said, "Please speak."
"Is Tianjin Tanggukou Terminal in our hands?"
"Tianjin is covered with concessions from various countries. As a treaty port, Tanggu Port is not allowed to station troops. It is currently under the jurisdiction of the Tianjin Security Command, so it is considered to be in our hands."
"Military seat, this is not possible. If our army wants to truly develop and grow, Tanggukou must be firmly in our hands. At the boundary between Pingjin and Tianjin, the only channel we can rely on for import and export is sea. On land, freight will increase naturally.
Needless to say, we will inevitably be plucked by local governments. In that case, no matter how hard we try and how good the products we produce, we may just make wedding dresses for others."
Song Zheyuan frowned and thought for a while, realized that this was a problem, and said: "The importance of Tanggukou is self-evident, but this matter involves too many things. If it is not handled well, it may cause international disputes."
Everyone else present, except Guo Biao and Qin Dechun, could not quite understand the conversation between the two. Tianjin was under the jurisdiction of the 38th Division. Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but ask: "Military commander, what do you mean, are you ready to start the battle?"
A factory-run enterprise?"
Song Zheyuan said "Oh" and said: "I forgot to tell you about this. Our little Ouyang is not simple. He is full of wealth in his head. Haha, Zi Zhong is right, we just have to do something about it.
Factory, and it’s going to be big!” As he said that, he asked Guo Biao to take out Ouyang Yun’s plan and circulate it to everyone, saying, “This is Ouyang’s plan, and there are many technologies involved in it.
They are all leading in the world. Let’s talk about penicillin. I heard from Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Jiang that foreigners are still researching it. If all these factories were to be built, it would be huge!” Thinking of the problem in Tanggukou,
He said: "As Ouyang said, if the Tanggukou is not handled well, we may really be worried about holding a hen that can lay eggs! Tanggukou, Tanggukou - do you have any good suggestions?
"
Everyone circulated the plan because they had no idea what some of the technical terms in it meant, and it was like reading from heaven. Zhang Zizhong was the first to read it, then scratched his head and said, "I am a soldier, and I really can't understand."
Understand these academic things, but if these things have various magical effects as written in the book, they should be quite valuable, then Tanggukou is really very important to our army!"
Zhao Dengyu stood up, waved his hand and said: "If there is any trouble, if it can't be done, martial law will be implemented. The Western powers only have small-scale security forces in Tianjin, and they certainly don't dare to fight us. As for little Japan, I don't believe they dare to do it now."
Do it!"
Feng Zhi'an echoed: "Deng Yu's approach is good, I agree!"
Ouyang Yun saw that they were all in trouble, and said with a smile: "Military seat, generals, military control is necessary, but if it is done in the right way, I guess the big powers, including little Japan, will not only not object, but even be eager to do so."
Song Zheyuan hurriedly asked: "How to say?"
The eyes of the others lit up when they heard this, and when they looked at this young man, they felt that he was much more pleasing to their eyes.
