"Cousin, you must also know that Miss Lu is being taken care of!" Ouyang Jian did not deny it. "Cousin, the Communist Party demands the release of all political prisoners, and once the peace talks are successful, the day of your reunion with Miss Lu is not far off. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart. Not long ago, I went to visit her in prison and called her sister-in-law for the first time, and the love between you touched me and made me sad. Cousin, Miss Lu has always had a clear love and hate, and in her mind, I am not a rival in love but a heinous enemy! ”

"This is Wen Ting's virtue, jealousy is like hatred, and she has a strong heart under her weak appearance!" Ouyang Jian said leisurely, with a trace of sadness on his face. "Cousin, I really wanted to save you at that time in Jiujiang, not to hurt you, and now I realize how naïve I was at that time!" "Frankly, cousin, you have the qualities of an agent, and I didn't notice any signs at the time. There are reasons for affection, but your performance is the main reason. I hope that your talents will be used in the war against Japan. Zhong Wenjuan nodded and said: "Cousin, although I have prejudices against the Communist Party, I am absolutely unambiguous in the general interests of the nation, and I can do it if I don't let women on the battlefield of resistance against Japan." ”

At this time, Ouyang Feng walked out, first nodded to his cousin and said, "Brother got up early!" "Years of military service have formed a habit, and when the time comes, I will wake up." "Two cousins, let's talk! I'm going to catch up on it! "Zhong Wenjuan knew that they had something to talk about, and left under the pretext." It seems that my cousin's early waking up was intentional, and I remind you that Cousin Wenjuan has a special background, and I suspect that he is an agent. At present, our troops at and above the battalion level have stationed political supervisors, but in fact, they have been sent from above to monitor us. Ouyang Feng showed displeasure. Ouyang Jian hesitated for a moment and decided not to say his cousin's true identity.

Through the information revealed by his brother, Ouyang Jian judged that the Kuomintang Military Investigation Bureau, that is, the military commander, began to officially infiltrate the troops, which also meant that Lao Chiang began to closely monitor the troops. "Big brother, according to the information I have, Lao Chiang's Military Investigation Bureau began to infiltrate the army, with the aim of effectively controlling the army. The so-called political supervisor is actually an agent of the Military Investigation Bureau, so you should pay attention to your behavior in the future, so as not to let them seize the truth. In particular, the relationship between you and me may attract their attention. "What am I afraid of if I have no second thoughts about the party-state?" Ouyang Feng didn't care.

Ouyang Jian saw that his brother was disdainful, and knew that he couldn't convince him, and said, "Anyway, it's better for you to be careful." Although our brothers belong to different camps and each is the master, I know that no one can convince anyone, we don't talk about politics, but there is one thing that the national righteousness is the same, big brother, you don't deny it! "Brother is very frank, yes, our anti-Japanese position is the same." Ouyang Jian continued: "At present, the peace talks are a foregone conclusion, and it is only a matter of time before the KMT and the Communist Party cooperate for the second time to form a national united front. But there are many factions in the party and army, even in the Central Army, so I don't need to say anything about the proximity and proximity! "I know that now that the national crisis is at hand, I won't care very much!"

"Big brother, as the saying goes, there will be a nest of bears, and there are too many generals in the party army. I had a personal acquaintance with General Wei Lihuang, who was an upright soldier and a very firm anti-Japanese stance. At present, your department has not been officially assigned to Wei Lihuang's department, and I wrote a letter asking him to take you under his command, and I think he will definitely give me face. "General Wei is indeed trustworthy, just what I want!" Ouyang Feng didn't expect his brother to understand his own mind. Ouyang Jian said: "This time I came to Shanghai to save relatives, and secondly, to buy some things by the way!" "Need my help?" "No need!"

After eating in the morning, Ouyang Jian said that he wanted to go to the street and take his uncle's car by the way. On the way, Zhong Lihan smiled and said: "Jian'er, you came to Shanghai secretly not only to see us, but what do you need my help with?" Ouyang Jian smiled: "Uncle is worthy of being a shrewd banker, and he can't hide anything from your eyes." Let's go to your office and talk! The car stopped in front of an imposing three-story building on Victoria Street, where my uncle's office was on the second floor. As a senior director of Standard Chartered Bank, it can be seen that Zhong Lihan has a high status in this foreign bank, and Ouyang Jian has already figured out his uncle's bottom line through the secret arrow, and he is in charge of the entire China business.

Entering his uncle's office and taking a seat, an Indian waiter brought in a cup of coffee and walked out. "Jian'er, tell me, what do you need me to help with? I know that your Communist Party is poor, and it is inevitable that you will be shy in your pocket, how much money do you need? "Zhong Lihan went straight to the point." Uncle, you're wrong, I personally don't need money. At present, we occupy Jiangxi, and I want to take out a loan in your bank. "It's your Communist Party that needs money, it must not be a small amount, I'm afraid it won't work, and the above will not agree." "I want you to vouch, please rest assured that my nephew will never be untrustworthy with his personality guarantee!"

"Jian'er, with your status, my uncle will not have any objections, but the British side will not agree to the loan to the Communist Party when it comes to politics, and I am only a senior executive, and the decision is not up to me." Zhong Lihan vetoed it. "Isn't it so difficult that my uncle can't use another name?" Zhong Lihan hesitated for a moment and said, "How much money do you need?" "100,000 pounds, guaranteed to be returned within one year with interest!" Ouyang Jian originally wanted to say 50,000 pounds, but one mouth became 100,000 pounds. "It's not a small amount, and now you are a prominent figure in the Communist Party, and this is not a lot of money for Standard Chartered, but the British will never say yes."

Since there was no hope of borrowing, he had to open his mouth to borrow money, and there was no problem in borrowing 50,000 pounds from his uncle's family. Ouyang Jiangang wanted to express Zhongli Han Dao: "Jian'er, I can't hide it, I fancy your future." At present I have £40,000 in savings, and in addition, your father has sold his property in Harbin totalling more than £20,000 in my deposit. There are also securities and gold jewelry, and the shortfall is about the same. Jian'er, if this loan is good for you personally. But your party has to pay interest to me, and I will lend it to you at the lowest interest rate at the moment, and I have agreed on a one-year term. ”

Ouyang Jian was overjoyed and said: "Uncle, thank you so much, rest assured that it won't take me more than a year to pay back the principal with interest." "Jian'er, you have a bright future, and now the Communist Party occupies Jiangxi and Fujian, and is completely in opposition to the Nationalist Government. Uncle invests in you as a risky investment, but the rewards are also huge. "Uncle, thank you for your help to us, I am going to spend 50,000 pounds to import rubber from Nanyang, and I will buy it at the CIF price, and the profit will be my return to my uncle." "Jian'er, you are very shrewd and let me fall into it, but there is no risk in buying Nanyang rubber, I can do it."

The fundraising went so smoothly that Ouyang Jian did not expect it, it is estimated that 20,000 pounds of cigarette equipment is enough, and the remaining 30,000 pounds can be used for emergency use, it seems that the secret trip to Shanghai has come to the right place. In the following days, Shangguan Fei quickly obtained the leaf curling equipment through his friends in Shanghai, spending 18,000 pounds. Ouyang Jian instructed Shangguan Yun to purchase some more relevant equipment and load it on the ship. Ouyang Jian's late stay in Shanghai was 10 days, and he didn't expect that his wish would come true in 6 days, so he planned to go back early, so as not to have too many dreams at night and extraneous branches. That night, Shangguan Fei personally escorted the cargo ship out of Shanghai to return home, and the ticket purchased by Ouyang Jian was the next day.

After dinner that day, Ouyang Jian played with his nephew and niece, and walked out when he found that his brother was not in the house. Seeing Ouyang Feng standing in the courtyard smoking, he said: "Big brother, I know you complain about me, as the saying goes, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, I can't stay in Shanghai for too long, please understand." In the future, when my father comes to Shanghai, please take me to apologize! "Dad promised to come to Shanghai for you, and it must be sad not to see you!" "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, there is no country where there is no small family, I believe my father will understand." Then the two brothers began to discuss how to deal with the future war against Japan, and they talked until late at night. The next day, Ouyang Jian said goodbye to his family and returned.

Just as Ouyang Jian was secretly heading to Shanghai, Peng Dehuai, commander of the 3rd Group Army, greeted an important guest in Xiao Feng's defense area of the 3rd Army in Anyuan County, southern Ganzhou. After the armistice agreement was initialed, Peng Dehuai led the 3rd Army Corps to assume the first-line defense of Ganzhou, and the corps headquarters was located in Ganzhou. Xiao Feng's 3rd Army under his command was located on the Anyuan line. The 4th Army was located on the front line of Pingxiang to serve as the western defense, and the military headquarters was located in Ji'an. At this time, Peng Dehuai and army commander Xiao Feng stood outside the city and looked at the southern continent. At the request of the Central Military Commission, Peng Dehuai invited Chen Cheng, commander of the 18th Guangdong Group, to come to the meeting in order to increase mutual trust and understanding.

Soon, a herd of horses appeared on the road in the distance. "Look, General Chen is here, and he is very much respected by old Jiang. I heard Enlai introduce him, and he has always had a good reputation among Kuomintang generals. As he spoke, the horse team galloped and raised dust all the way, and the horse team stopped from about 50 meters away from the generals and a platoon of guards to dismount. I saw a tall, slender general at the head step forward. The two sides exchanged military salutes and shook hands. In the past, he was an enemy on the battlefield, but now he has released his past suspicions and turned enemies into friends.

Chen Cheng was born in 1898 in Tian County, Zhejiang, and is 34 years old this year. Because his father was a former Qing Xiucai, he was influenced by a scholarly family since he was a child. Chen Cheng graduated from the Baoding Military Academy in 22 and entered the Whampoa Military Academy as an assistant instructor in 24. After all the party troops withdrew from Jiangxi, Chen Cheng led the 18th Group Army to serve as the defense of Guangdong. After receiving the invitation of Commander Peng Dehuai, Chen Cheng did not hesitate to rush to the meeting.

"Commander Chen, the ancients will unite for a long time in the world, this is the will of heaven. Today's invitation to Commander Chen is for no other purpose than to eliminate estrangement and enhance mutual understanding. Now that the peace talks between the KMT and the CPC have become a foregone conclusion, it is urgent to unite with the outside world in the face of national difficulties. "Commander Peng said it well, and he is deeply ashamed to be the general of the defeated army. The Ganzhou fiasco once again showed its might, which impressed me. In the future, it will be of great effect on the Japanese combat special combat team, if it is convenient for General Peng to let the contemptible people see it. Peng Dehuai said with a smile: "Our legion does have a special operations team, but it is far worse than the special combat team created by Commander Ouyang Jian of the 5th Legion. “

Peng Dehuai continued: "General Chen, don't hide it, this time the destruction of Ganzhou was done by the special combat team under Ouyang Jian!" "May I ask General Peng, how many people did Ouyang Jian's special combat team dispatch?" "More than 60 people in two detachments!" Chen Cheng gasped when he heard this: "It's incredible, the special operation is extremely brave." In order to deal with the contemptible people of the Japanese army, I also want to build a special combat team, but I don't know what to do! "General Chen, I will help you in order to fight against Japan. Regarding the characteristics of the special combat team, I will ask Commander Xiao to introduce it to you in a moment. Commander Xiao was once Ouyang Jian's subordinate. “

Peng Dehuai hosted a banquet to entertain Chen Cheng, during which Xiao Feng briefly briefed the special combat unit on the operational characteristics of the special combat unit, and after the meal, he visited the training of a certain unit of the 7th Division. After reading the daily training of the Red Army, Chen Cheng lamented in his heart that the training methods of the party army were too backward, especially the training intensity was far from enough. What Chen Cheng gained the most from his current visit was that he had a preliminary understanding of the operational characteristics of the special operation, and at the same time, he began to reorganize the troops in a drastic way.
