(It's been two shifts a day for three consecutive days, book friends, isn't it pitiful, vote for me - vote for me, it's a popsicle in the hot summer) Since the official formation of the army, because it has a number of patents, including penicillin and TV, there are profiteering products such as penicillin and televisions, and the finances have been relatively loose, so Ouyang Yun has always behaved like a wealthy man.

With the opening of a pharmaceutical factory in the United States, and the production of televisions, off-road vehicles, large passenger planes, and L-19 long-range bombers in cooperation with RCA, Ford, and United Airlines, this financial resource has been rolling in, fully satisfying the rapid expansion and equipment renewal of the Cadet Army. However, as the scale of the Cadet Army became larger and larger, and more and more projects were developed, including some money-burning projects, Ouyang Yun unconsciously raised the amount of pensions for officers and soldiers, which made Jiang Shuren, who was in charge of finance, begin to complain.

In the Battle of Nanjing, the Xuebing Army completely made a reputation, and also achieved Ouyang Yun's reputation as "the nemesis of the Japanese Invaders". However, this is premised on huge financial expenditures.

In the course of the service, the number of fallen soldiers in the army alone reached an astonishing 14,000 men, and the expenditure on pensions alone reached an astonishing 2.8 million silver dollars at the standard of 200 silver dollars per person. When Ouyang Yun first assumed the post of commander of the Nanjing garrison, he boasted that the pensions of the fallen soldiers of the four divisions of the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army under his jurisdiction would be borne by the Cadet Army in accordance with the standards of the Cadet Army, which was again an expenditure of nearly 1.5 million silver dollars. Counting the loss of tanks and other ordnance and ammunition, the total cost of this battle reached a staggering 11 million silver dollars.

When this number was just counted, Jiang Shuren exclaimed again and again: "I can't afford to fight, I can't afford to fight, if we continue to fight like this, we will go bankrupt." ”

This report was sent to Ouyang Yun, and he was also stunned by this number. He remembered that in that time and space, he was familiar with several large-scale battles, and the Chinese side often invested hundreds of thousands of troops and killed tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, at every turn. You must know that the troops dispatched by the Xuebing Army this time are only 50,000 people. It is true that the pension of the cadet army is a little higher, but all the pensions add up to only about four million, so where is the other seven million spent? Is it really so money-burning to fight in the student army?

The report was very detailed, and he flipped through the pages one by one, and finally understood the reason for the high cost.

Among them, the loss of guns and ammunition is as high as more than 3 million - the performance of the Weiqing style and the disease-free type is superior, but the loss rate is not low. In the First Battle of Nanjing, an average of 20 Weiqing and 15 sick guns were damaged, not including the barrels that were replaced by the sick type. After the Battle of Nanjing, sooner or later the Japanese army will use force against Fujian and Guangdong, and this will certainly be a protracted war. Presumably, with the prolongation of wartime, this kind of attrition is definitely not low.

"No wonder there is a saying in later generations that this war will end up fighting with more money! I finally get it now! After Ouyang Yun had such a feeling, he began to think about how to open up sources and reduce expenditure. As a result, the Zhongzheng, the 38 big cover, the Czech ZB-26, and even the 92-type light machine gun of the little devil that he couldn't look at have entered his eyes. In this context, he also drafted a programme to encourage troops to switch to captured weapons. Guo Da once went to the headquarters to find him, and happened to see this plan, no, he immediately applied it.

Early in the morning of the second day after the end of the conflict in Dahe Mountain, when Xue Yue and Jiang were angry enough to scold their mothers and smash teacups in the office, and they were so angry that they wanted to eat someone in Ouyang, reports about this conflict appeared in the newspapers in various unoccupied areas of the country - "The civil war in Dahe Mountain, the Xuebing Army hit the new second division of the Jiangxi Department hard!" ”

"The Cadet Army brazenly challenged the central government and attacked the Jiangxi troops of the National Revolutionary Army!"

"Who provoked the civil war in northern Fujian?"

"Is it tolerable or unbearable, the student army angrily attacked, and severely damaged the 41st and 42nd divisions of the new Jiangxi department!"

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the freshly released "Guangdong Daily" and "Xuebing Army Times" expose the masterminds behind the civil war in northern Fujian!"

"Sir, buy a newspaper, explosive news, Xuebing Army and Xue Yuebu are fighting in Dahe Mountain, and a civil war is imminent!"

Ouyang Yun attaches great importance to public opinion reporting, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hutong has established friendly relations with almost all major well-known newspapers and periodicals across the country. As a result, except for the newspapers controlled by the National Central Committee, almost all the reports of other newspapers and periodicals tended to be on the side of Ouyang Yun and Xuebingjun. portrayed Xue as the culprit who provoked the incident and caused the civil war. In the eyes of Xue and Jiang, it is natural to reverse right and wrong, confusing black and white, which is tolerable or unbearable!

Forget about these, what makes some people particularly hateful is that the Cadet Army actually sued the wicked people first, preempted the Military Commission and the Ninth Theater Command, and sent a telegram to the whole country with the title of "The Japanese Invaders Are Certainly Hateful, but the National Thieves Are Especially Shameful", completely describing themselves as the victim party, and openly declaring that if the Central Committee and the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government do not strictly investigate this matter and find out the black hand behind it, the Cadet Army will reserve the right to hold the perpetrators accountable on its own!

It's a pity, Lao Jiang originally just wanted to incorporate the three Fujian divisions that originally belonged to the Central Department. It's a pity that Dai Li, who is good at figuring out the thoughts of the supreme leader, will be wrong this time, and he is stunned that he has done so many things, and he even wants to take the opportunity to kill Ouyang Yun.

The plan was formulated by him himself, and the part concerning cooperation with the Japanese has been repeatedly scrutinized. He originally thought that even if he couldn't get rid of Ouyang Yun with the help of the Japanese, he could still contain his energy, so as to provide assistance for the rebellion against the three Fujian divisions.

But the development of things is clearly out of the orbit he set.

Dai Li was scolded by Lao Jiang, and after being ordered to reflect, he realized where he lost - he thought he understood Ouyang Yun, thinking that since Ouyang Yun could accept the entrustment of the chairman of the committee and serve as a stay-behind guard when he was in Nanjing, he must have the overall situation in mind, so in the face of Xue Yue's provocation, he would start from the overall situation and choose to be patient. The truth is the opposite, let alone patience, this kid refuses to suffer even a small loss.

What does this mean?

If he sensed something, then this kid was really terrifying - his scheming was so deep and his methods were ruthless, he was afraid that his plot was not small.

I hope he is just angry for a while, otherwise, it will be too difficult to restrain him in the future. Well, if there is a chance, it is better to eradicate this kind of person as soon as possible.

Dai Li made up his mind and began to officially treat Ouyang Yun as his great enemy.

Dai Li racked his brains thinking about how to deal with Ouyang Yun, but the latter didn't have the leisure to invest energy in this matter at all.

After encountering a round of decapitating air raids, Ouyang Yun evacuated Fengling Pass and went to the Wuyi Mountains instead, where he changed the exercise ground. On 9 October, except for the 61st Division, all the other participating units arrived, and the second part of the exercise finally began. At this time, the pen sticks of the cadet army headed by Mei Lanshu were writing hard in the newspaper, and Ouyang Yun rushed back to Guangzhou overnight after inspecting and condolences to the participating troops.

The telegram was written after the exercise plan was decided, and it was just waiting for the time to send it out. In fact, after writing this power-up, Ouyang Yun forgot about it.

Such a large-scale air raid by the Japanese army was something that Ouyang Yun did not expect in advance. This is not only a challenge for the cadet army, but also an opportunity.

The vast sea area owned by Fujian and Guangdong has always been Ouyang Yun's heart disease. The naval strength of the Cadet Corps was so weak that it could not even organize a frontal confrontation. The aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy was like a sharp sword hanging above Ouyang Yun's head, making him think all the time, if this sword fell, how should he deal with it?

At the beginning of the Japanese air raid, Ouyang Yun strictly forbade the air force to dispatch, and let Tie Linfei and them just blindly dodge, which once aroused the extreme indignation of the air force officers and soldiers, and even a brigade of air forces collectively bit their fingers and wrote a bloody letter asking for battle - so it can be seen how unpopular his strategy is.

Ouyang Yun has his own troubles. This distress stems from the threat of the Japanese Navy's powerful aircraft carrier formation. After more than a year of accumulation, the Cadet Corps now has more than 350 fighters, and it is said that it can also fight with the Japanese Air Force. But what about after the First World War? Japan has the support of the whole country, and the lost fighters can be quickly remedied. This is something that the cadet army can't do. Although the Cadet Army has developed a fighter that is ahead of its contemporaries, its production capacity is too low. Purchase? What about money?

Ouyang Yun has been waiting for an opportunity - not to finish the first battle, but at least to sink aircraft carriers, so that the Japanese will be afraid from then on, and when they want to invade the waters of Fujian and Guangdong on a large scale, they must think about it first.

Now, here's your chance.

The Japanese bombing at any cost caused great losses to the city of Guangzhou. The bombing has been going on for five days, and at least three waves of Japanese planes will fly over Guangzhou every day to bomb valuable targets. Fortunately, the Cadet Army has always attached great importance to the construction of urban defense, and there are enough air-raid shelters dug and early warning radars can detect the direction of the sun in advance, so although the building was seriously damaged, it did not cause too many civilian casualties.

The Cadet Army and Air Force avoided fighting, and the task of air defense fell entirely to the ground troops. Under the organization of Guo Biao and Chu Tiange, the units of the Cadet Corps stationed in Guangzhou formed an air defense unit of three brigades, which took turns to intercept the Japanese planes in multiple positions, and at the cost of huge casualties, they also reaped certain results, shooting down nine Japanese planes, including one reconnaissance plane, in five days.

In the face of the attack from the air, the people of Guangzhou, after experiencing the initial hesitation and fear, gradually accepted it calmly. Now, they have become accustomed to entering air defense facilities when the air raid sirens sound, and then returning to the ground after the air raid sirens are lifted to continue living and working. The frequent bombing of the Japanese did not make the people of Guangzhou lose confidence in the Cadet Army, but made them hate the same enemy and stand more firmly behind the Cadet Army.
