Ouyang Yun quickly mobilized all the known information in his heart, and quickly made a judgment on the relationship between Hu Hanmin and Chen Jitang: Although Hu Hanmin and Chen Jitang both belong to the Guangdong family, their positions are not the same. In the final analysis, it is a matter of the butt that determines the brain, although Hu Hanmin is the spiritual leader of the powerful faction in the south, but he has no real power in his hands, while Chen Jitang is the military and political power, perhaps, he wants to go further and replace Lao Jiang.

After thinking for a while, Ouyang Yun did not directly answer Hu Hanmin's question, but pretended to be confused and asked a question that had nothing to do with the question: "Who is the tall and thin guy?" ”

Hu Xiang laughed, and Xiang Hanping said: "Forget that Ouyang is not Cantonese, hehe, the thin and tall guy is Chen Jitang's nickname." ”

"Oh," Ouyang Yun said with a smile on his face, "This nickname is very clever. After a pause, he got to the point: "Regarding 'Wei Qing' and 'going to the sick', the principle of our military division is that as long as there is a Chinese army with the intention to resist Japan, anyone can have it. The Cantonese Army is a revolutionary army with a glorious tradition, and the boy has always admired it. And Commander-in-Chief Chen is also a wise leader who cares about the people's livelihood and the great cause of his family and country, and I have no opinion on selling weapons to the Cantonese army. However, with all due respect, I do not think that the current domestic situation is the best time for Guangzhou to replace Nanjing. ”

Hu Xiang and the two glanced at each other, and the former's expression became solemn: "Ouyang is very right, and I think so too." The internal contradictions of the Chinese people can be alleviated for a while, but external threats must be eradicated first. ”

The latter continued: "However, in the current situation, it is unlikely that our Cantonese department will directly participate in the anti-Japanese resistance, at least there is Nanjing in between, not to mention Han Fuyu, Fu Zuoyi, and Song Zheyuan, North China belongs to their territory." If the Cantonese tentacles are stretched too long, they will definitely not let it. Speaking of this, he looked at Ouyang Yun with some curiosity and asked, "Speaking of which, it makes me feel strange, Han Fuqu and the others are not vegetarians, how can they be indifferent to the rise of the Cadet Division?" ”

Ouyang Yun was stunned, he had never thought about this problem when he said it. Think about it, North China is the traditional power range of Han Fuqu and others, and as newcomers, how can they let it go?

"You underestimate Ouyang," Hu Hanmin glanced at Xiang Hanping and said, "Do you think that his regional sales rights for penicillin are issued casually?" Hmph, whether it's Han Fuqu or Yan Xishan, in the final analysis, it's just a few landlords and old wealth, how can they be qualified to compare with us in Guangdong. We have sugar factories and fertilizer factories in Guangdong, what do they have in Shandong and Shanxi? Getting back to business, Ouyang, aren't you surprised that we have to contact you behind our backs, I'll tell you the reason now. With your cleverness, you will definitely not refuse to cooperate with the tall and thin guy, and I will tell you some details of the cooperation now......"

The cooperation between the three departments of Guangdong, Gui, and Xue (Xuebingshi) was drafted when Ouyang Yun was still on the train, and Hu Hanmin, as a veteran of the Guangdong system, was fortunate to participate, so he knew the details.

With the cooperation of the three parties, the two old enemies of Guangdong and Guizhou as a whole will provide public opinion and political support for the cadet division to officially become an independent force, and Guangdong will also provide a one-time free financial assistance of 2 million oceans, while the Gui department will provide it with a division of veterans. The price that the cadet needs to pay is to provide a base for the Cantonese army in Chahar, and to help Yuegui establish a "Wei Qing" and "Go to Disease" production lines.

As the central element of the contract, the three parties must align themselves in military and political direction later. This is tantamount to tying the cadet division to the chariot of Yuegui against Chiang.

Under this condition, the Cadet Division did not seem to suffer a loss, but Chen Jitang planted the seeds of the Cantonese system in his own hinterland, and the officers and soldiers of the Gui Department of a division were mixed into the army, which was an unknown variable for the future development of the Cadet Division.

After introducing these situations, Hu Hanmin asked Ouyang Yun: "What do you think?" ”

Ouyang Yun didn't answer for a long time, his brows were tightly knit, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.

Seeing this, Xiang Hanping said to Hu Hanmin: "This matter is very important, and Ouyang definitely needs time to think about it." ”

Ouyang Yun's heart was indeed turbulent at the moment, and there were thousands of thoughts, but there was nothing about cooperation in it. His mind was completely attracted by Xiang Hanping's previous words - as Xiang Hanping said, Han Fuqu, Yan Xishan, Fu Zuoyi, none of these people are fuel-efficient lamps, so how can they tolerate the rise of the cadet division? Is it really because of profit? However, penicillin is supplied to North China in such a small amount. Also, by what means did Hu Hansan obtain the confidential information of the cadet division? How many spies have infiltrated into the cadet? It is conceivable that those who have access to oil secrets must be of no low rank.

After about a quarter of an hour, Hu Hanmin saw that Ouyang Yun was always frowning and did not speak, and asked impatiently: "Is it so difficult to decide?" ”

Under his urging, Ouyang Yun finally sorted out his thoughts and came to his senses, remembering that the Hu Han militia did not say the reason why he had been looking for him, he sighed and asked, "Sir, what advice do you have?" ”

"This agreement is acceptable to you. Of course, if you don't want to suffer a loss, you can add a condition. As far as I know, you and Zhang Zizhong are planning to build Dagukou into a treaty wharf? ”

"Yes!"

"Dagukou is facing the threat of the Japanese navy from the direction of Lushun, Ouyang, in the absence of a navy, are you sure that you will be able to hold Dagukou under the double blow of sea and air?"

Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "I'm not sure." ”

"Then why don't you just block it? It will be difficult to defend the mouth of Dagu, but it is not difficult to seal it down, so that you can completely ignore the threat from the sea. ”

"However, without access to the sea, how can the industrial advantage of our military division be transformed into an economic advantage?"

Hu Hanmin smiled: "That's why I want you to add a condition." As you know, there are many seaports in Guangdong and Guangxi, and now Fujian also belongs to the scope of Guangdong and Guangxi. It may be difficult to get a seaport in Guangdong and Guangdong, but there should be no problem in getting a port in Fujian. ”

Ouyang Yun's heart moved, but thinking of the actual distance between Renqiu and Fujian and the vast Nanjing-controlled area in between, he shook his head lightly and said: "It doesn't work, Renqiu and Fujian are too far away, and there is more Nanjing territory in the middle." ”

"Then it's good to move the factories, and of course, in order to ensure the safety of these factories, you can also send a force over."

"This plan is really good, but Chen Jitang and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are they willing?"

"I can solve this problem," Mr. Hu said confidently.

Ouyang Yun looked at him, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he asked, "So, what do I need to do for Mr." ”

Hu Xiang and the two smiled at each other, and the former smiled and said, "It's pleasure to talk to smart people, Ouyang, since you have already thought of it, then I'm not welcome." We would like to ask you to train an army for us in North China. ”

Ouyang Yun was puzzled: "If the agreement is reached, don't you already have a base in North China?" Oh, no—sir, do you ...... with Commander-in-Chief Chen," he asked tentatively, but did not finish his sentence.

Hu Hanmin stood up, his expression was very solemn, and he said leisurely: "As you said, our Guangdong family, as the prime minister's descendants, has a glorious revolutionary tradition. However, if you look at the current Cantonese lineage, can they still be called the prime minister's descendants? The current Cantonese system is equivalent to the private army of a tall and thin man. If the tall and thin guy is really iron-hearted to resist Japan and oppose Chiang, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives...... If we can have a loyal army, the situation in Guangdong and even in South China will change. General Ouyang, I need a new Cantonese army that can compete with the Fourth Army of the American Railway. ”

The Yue faction was established as the strength of Mr. Zhongshan's initial uprising, and after decades of development, the complexity of the faction was far beyond what Ouyang Yun could have imagined. After listening to Hu Hanmin's discussion, he frowned and fell into deep thought again. Do you cooperate with Hu Hanmin and the old Cantonese represented by them? However, these people did not have the strength to rely on, and no one knew how far they could go. Chen Jitang's new Cantonese system is the natural spokesperson of Guangdong now, although its personnel composition is not monolithic, but the condensed Cantonese system is undoubtedly powerful, and it is also needed by the military division. Perhaps, there is no inevitable connection between the two, anyway, Hu Hanmin just asked himself to help them secretly train a team in North China. And having a seaport in Fujian is undoubtedly important for the cadet division, and in the recent War of Resistance Against Japan, the cadet division has an extra place to live even if it can't hold Renqiu - Ouyang Yun thought so, and finally decided to accept Hu Hanmin's suggestion.

So, on this night in South China, Ouyang Yun reached an agreement with the Lao Yue faction headed by Hu Hanmin on behalf of the Xuebing Division.

"Senior Ouyang, happy cooperation!" When sending Ouyang Yun out, Hu Hanmin held his hand tightly and said.

Xiang Hanping stood aside and said with a smile, "Senior Ouyang, I hope it won't be too long for us to see each other again." ”

In the agreement, the army trained by the Cadet Division for the old Cantonese department will be commanded by Xiang Hanping, and this is why he said this.

Ouyang Yun said with a smile: "It will definitely not be long, as long as Dongshan starts to build a port, I think we will meet." "The so-called Dongshan port construction is what Ouyang Yun said about the conditions in the agreement. Hu Hanmin made a decision that the cadet could choose any place in the coastal area of Fujian to build a port, so Ouyang Yun chose Dongshan County, which is close to Guangdong.

Hu Hanmin smiled, he waved his hand and said: "Since the agreement has been signed, I, Hu Someone, will never break my word." It's just that Senior Commander Ouyang must not be frightened by the tall and thin guy, if you don't insist, it will be useless for me to do my best alone. ”

Ouyang Yun smiled and nodded, waved at them, and left.
