Chapter 161: The True Colors of Heroes
Faced with financial difficulties, Ouyang Jian was a little anxious. At the moment, the water cigarette factory makes him worried. Now the site selection of the plant has been completed, and the tobacco leaves have begun to be purchased, but the cigarette machinery and equipment have not been landed for a long time. He patted his chest and promised in front of Runzhi that he would definitely build a cigarette factory before the end of the year, but the cigarette factory was not an urgent factory to be built after all, and Ouyang Jian had no reason to include the cigarette factory in the plan. I was expecting to plan a sum of money here in Zhou An, but all the funds in Zhou An's hands hoarded the goods, what should I do?
As the saying goes, a penny is hard for a hero, Ouyang Jian thought hard and decided to go to Shanghai for the white wolf of the empty glove. In order to hide people's eyes, he informed Mu Shixiong and Shangguan Fei to report to De'an County quickly. At the same time, he left the guard Pony at the headquarters of the 17th Division in De'an County, and lied to Zhao Liang, the commander of the 17th Division, that the Military Commission secretly excluded him from going to Shanghai to carry out special tasks, and asked Zhao Liang to cover up the false impression that he was still staying in De'an County, and was not allowed to tell anyone. The division commander Zhao Liang undoubtedly carried out the order to the letter, so Ouyang Jian, Mu Shixiong, and Shangguan Fei disguised themselves and secretly went to Shanghai on a cargo ship bound for Shanghai from Wuhan through Jiujiang Wharf.
After arriving in Shanghai, Ouyang Jian ordered Shangguan Fei to quickly contact his friends in the Qinggang to discuss the purchase of cigarette equipment. At dusk, Ouyang Jian and Mu Shixiong appeared in front of a bungalow with an iron fence courtyard on Victoria Street. Ouyang Jian was wearing a robe and a horse coat, a top hat, and a fake beard standing on his lips, making it difficult for outsiders to recognize his true face. After confirming the house number, Ouyang Jian stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
The doorbell rang, and a subordinate came out of the building. The subordinate carefully identified the visitor and asked vigilantly, "Who is the gentleman looking for?" "Does Mr. Zhong live here?" "This is Zhong Zhai, may I ask this distinguished guest, what are you looking for Mr. Zhong for? Do you have an appointment? "Briefing, I'm his nephew." The subordinate was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly went in to report. Ouyang Jian was anxious to remember, didn't there be an uncle in Shanghai? He is also an executive of Standard Chartered in the UK, so Ouyang Jian decided whether to take out a loan in the UK.
It stands to reason that Ouyang Jian, his uncle's residence, should be familiar with the road, but in fact, he doesn't know at all. The house number is still provided by his cousin Zhong Wenjuan, Ouyang Jian can be full of confidence, completely based on his current identity and status, you must know that human nature is inseparable from snobbery, and his "uncle" is nothing more than that. In addition, there is also family affection involved, so Ouyang Jian is very confident that he can get help from his uncle. In addition, Ouyang Jian also wants to partner with his uncle to do business, and his uncle will not refuse driven by interests.
At this time, in the living room of the bungalow, the male host, Zhong Lihan, was sitting on the sofa and listening to Ouyang Feng talk about the battle between the Jingdezhen brothers, and his daughter Zhong Wenjuan was sitting on the side listening. After Ouyang Feng withdrew from Jingdezhen without authorization, due to the sudden change in the domestic situation caused by the Fujian Incident, Lao Jiang did not punish him, but called to appease him. After all, he had a brutal battle with Ouyang Jian in Jingdezhen, which showed that Ouyang Feng was loyal to the party-state. Leng Xin's entire army was wiped out without punishment, on the contrary, he was reinstated, not to mention that Ouyang Feng led his troops to retreat.
After the 90th Division withdrew from Jiangxi, it was deployed to the front line of Hangzhou, and after the armistice agreement between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was signed, the clouds of war temporarily disappeared. Hangzhou is not far from Shanghai, Ouyang Feng asked Wei Lihuang for leave, and Wei Lihuang heard that he asked him to go to the Hangzhou headquarters. At the headquarters, Wei Lihuang politely invited Ouyang Feng to dinner, and during the banquet, he told the truth about the meeting with Ouyang Jian in Wannian County, and his words and words made his younger brother Ouyang Jian's future unlimited, and at the same time revealed reverence.
Ouyang Feng thought that Wei Lihuang would not grant leave, but it was very unexpected, Wei Lihuang not only granted leave, but also specially approved him to take a month off. Ouyang Feng came to Shanghai last night, and his cousin Zhong Wenjuan went back to Shanghai on business two days ago, so the cousins met at home. Ouyang Feng finished recounting the battle of Jingdezhen and said: "Uncle, I can't figure it out, is it possible to say that I don't know my brother, how can I not understand him as a compatriot. But in my impression, my brother is not particularly good, could it be that he was brainwashed by the Communist Party and reborn? ”
"This fight between the brothers in Jingdezhen can be regarded as a lesson in his cunning and toughness, especially the Red Army units he built, whose combat effectiveness is far worse than that of the national army, no wonder he has won many battles and is invincible. This made me even more confused, my brother shouldn't have this ability. This time, he took leave of absence from Commander Wei, and the commander informed him that he had met his brother. To my surprise, Commander Wei seemed to worship his brother very much, and this time Commander Wei was very happy to give me a month off, saying that it was not good to say that it was stained with the light of his brother. Ouyang Feng's expression was a little depressed.
Zhong Wenjuan said: "On the last trip to Jiujiang, I found that the second cousin seemed to have become a different person, he used to be silent, but now he has become articulate and extremely agile in thinking, maybe it is really a change caused by the brainwashing of the Communist Party, maybe we didn't pay attention to it before." He was seriously wounded in the Nanchang rebellion, perhaps returning from the brink of death, and his temperament changed drastically. I consulted with a psychologist, and the psychologist analyzed that it is possible for people to change their personality under special circumstances, and special potentials will be revealed, maybe this is the case with the second cousin. ”
"Wen Juan, you already knew that your second brother was in Jiujiang, why didn't you tell us?" "Dad, my second cousin is a communist, do I dare to tell you? If I tell you, I'm afraid I'll be scared all day long. "Yes, when I knew Ouyang Jian's name, I was really shocked. However, this kid has a long face, and he has not only become the plague god of the party-state, but also a prominent figure in the Communist Party. Wen Juan, let me ask you, is Ouyang Jian's marksmanship really superb? "I haven't seen my second cousin shoot, but I heard from his subordinates that he used a sniper rifle at four or five hundred meters to hit a hundred gray hairs."
"I heard from my colleagues in the army that my brother not only has his own marksmanship, but the most terrifying thing is that he has built a special combat team, all of which have the ability to penetrate the Yang in a hundred steps. Many national army units were frightened in the face of their brothers' battles, but this time my brothers did not use their special combat teams, which seemed to be to give me face. "Anyway, Ouyang Jian is your compatriot, and the bet on the battlefield is actually to take care of you, your brother is not only shrewd but also obviously superior in strategy, and it is understandable that he will be defeated by Jian'er."
Zhong Wenjuan said: "At present, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have initialed an armistice agreement, and there will be no more military conflicts between the two sides for the time being. The Communists occupy Jiangxi and Fujian, have the absolute initiative militarily, and already have the conditions for a large-scale offensive. Under such circumstances, the Nationalist Government has no choice but to hold peace talks, which is the trend of the times. Now that the second cousin is a prominent figure in the Communist Party, he probably doesn't recognize this family. "If you don't admit it, you won't admit it!" Isn't the Communist Party advocating anti-Japanese resistance? I am also in favor of resisting Japan, I don't believe that Ouyang Jian is so ruthless. Zhong Lihan took out the style of the elders.
"Now Ouyang Jian is a prominent figure in the Communist Party, and he will not easily come to Shanghai to save his relatives." As soon as Ouyang Feng's words fell, a subordinate hurriedly came in and said, "Master, there are two guests outside, one of whom claims to be your nephew and asks to see him!" Zhongli Han was stupid when he heard this, the eldest nephew in front of the "nephew" was beside him, why did another nephew appear. "The second cousin must be back!" Wen Juan ran out excitedly. Coming to the gate of the courtyard and passing through the iron fence gate, Zhong Wenjuan recognized Ouyang Jian at a glance.
"Cousin, it's really you, it's not a dream!" Zhong Wenjuan was overjoyed to open the door and threw herself into Ouyang Jian's arms. Ouyang Jian smiled and said, "Cousin, you still have the face to be close to me, you almost ruined me back then!" "So you're coming back to settle accounts with me." "Am I that careful?" "Cousin, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain. Now that the rain has passed, we can join forces to fight against Japan in the future! "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have let you go!" "Cousin, please don't reveal the matter of Jiujiang and expose my identity? I know you let me go! "Cousin, what's so good about being a spy, you don't dare to see the sun, and even your relatives have to keep it a secret."
"Cousin, aren't you Communist agents the same? Zhong Wenjuan fought back. At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Lihan, Mr. and Mrs. Ouyang Feng, and their two children all poured out of the room and into the courtyard. "Daddy! Mother! It's the second cousin who is back! ”
Ouyang Jian raised his eyes and looked at it, and quickly recognized his uncle and aunt, the soldier standing next to him was Ouyang Feng, and Ouyang Jian was slightly surprised that his brother was also at home. These "relatives" Ouyang Jian will not admit the photos obtained through the dark arrow, but the young woman standing next to Ouyang Feng has not seen it, but it is not difficult to judge that it must be a sister-in-law, and the two children, a man and a girl, are obviously his nephews and nieces.
Ouyang Jian stepped forward and said, "Uncle, aunt, the second elder is good, I came back to visit you." "Jian'er, sure enough, it's you, I didn't expect you to come back!" My aunt cried with joy. "What are you crying about, it's good if Jian'er can come back, it's good if you come back!" Zhong Lihan was obviously excited. Ouyang Jian nodded to Ouyang Feng and said, "Big brother, I didn't expect you to be at home, and you and my brother competed in Jingdezhen, which was very dramatic." "Brother, I am a soldier and I will not be so narrow-minded, but your boldness is big enough, and I am afraid that you will have to call forward and back with your identity."
"Big brother, there is a way to show the true character of a hero when the sea is crossed, although I can't compare myself to a hero, brother, but I am an iron-blooded man, what is there to fear. Now that I'm back in the arms of my loved ones, am I still worried about anything? "My cousin said that you have changed, and you are really not the brother I once knew. Speaking of heroic brothers, it is indeed well deserved, and I have already learned it. You can make a name for yourself in the Communist Party, and you can admire your brother! Let me introduce, this is your sister-in-law, when you left Harbin for Shanghai, I married your sister-in-law, and 10 years have passed. ”
"Hello uncle, call uncle!" The sister-in-law made a thousand blessings and then pushed the child in front of her. The two children shouted timidly, and Ouyang Jian picked up the youngest niece and said, "Big brother, you are so blessed, my sister-in-law is not only beautiful but also a virtuous person at first glance." Let me introduce, this is my special operations captain Mu Shixiong! "Mu Shixiong's head." Hurry up and ask Captain Mu to go down and rest! Zhong Lihan then said excitedly: "Today is the day of reunion, and the old man is so happy." Madame hurriedly arranged the wine and food, and I wanted to have a drink. ”
After everyone entered the living room and sat down, Ouyang Jian seemed to remember something and asked, "Big brother, how is our father's situation, do you have any news?" "You still know how to care about our father! Back then, you ran away from marriage and ran away without being heard from. Our mother was too sad for you and died a year later. "Big brother, I've heard my cousin talk about these situations. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, and there is no problem with you accusing me. "Later, our father Xu Xian gave birth to a daughter, that is, you and my sister named Ouyang Mei. Last year, the 918 incident broke out, and I informed my father. At present, our father is in Beiping. The old man said that the two sons are soldiers, and soldiers should be loyal to the country, and his old man is in Beiping, so let's go back to his hometown. ”
"I'm ashamed, you and I are both soldiers, but we don't have a bloody father. Please tell your father that his son's enthusiasm will definitely be sprinkled on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. We must not only drive away the Japanese bandits and recover the rivers and mountains, but also eliminate the Japanese bandits, and we will not give up until we achieve our goal. At present, the overall situation of the peace talks between the KMT and the CPC has been decided, and the next step of the war against Japan is the most important task for the whole nation. Big brother, although you and I are our own masters, the purpose of resisting Japan is the same. ”
"Jian'er said well, if Little Japan wants to kill my Huaxia, no one with a sense of justice will agree. I don't care about politics, but in the face of national crisis, your brothers can turn hostilities into jade silk and join forces to deal with Japanese bandits, which is the most gratifying thing for the old man. Come on, come on, let's drink. After a few glasses of wine, my aunt said: "Jian'er, you had a hard time running away from marriage back then, and we don't blame you." Now that the situation is stable, it's time to talk about marriage! "Aunt, I won't hide it from you, I joined the organization in Shanghai back then, and the organization made me go to a military school. It's a road of life and death, and I don't want to worry you, and I don't want to drag my cousin down. ”
"My cousin and I are destined to be lost, and now she is a member of the party-state, I am a communist, and the organization will not agree to our union." Ouyang Jian glanced at Zhong Wenjuan, so he had no choice but to make up a story. "That's it! Don't talk about this topic anymore、Maybe this is fate, they are all older, how to choose their own path is up to them! Jian'er, you are a legend of the Communist Party, and your name in Shanghai is like thunder, tell us your story and let us hear it. "Zhong Lihan is very reasonable. Ouyang Jian went from escaping marriage to going to the Whampoa Military Academy, from the Northern Expedition to the Nanchang Uprising ・・・・・・. ”
The next day, Ouyang Jian got up early to exercise, and Zhong Wenjuan also got up early. "Cousin, you lie without blinking your eyelids, I can convince you, but your lies are very true, and they all believe it." "I'm going to say they're going to be sad if they already have a fiancée. And you can't let the second elder know your identity as an agent! "You are always reasonable, don't you want to know Miss Lu's situation?" "I know you're on MI2, and I know that you often visit Wen Ting. Thank you for taking care of her for me. ”
"Your Communist Party's intelligence is simply pervasive, no wonder Director Dai often reprimands us for incompetence in private."
