Did Ouyang Yun just want to stir up trouble to avenge Chen Jitang's use of him? The answer is no.

After a number of thanks, similar to the obvious acceptance speech of the modern award, he changed his words and said: "The grandeur of today's scene is really breathtaking, which shows the determination of the military and civilian resistance of Guangdong. ”

When Chen Jitang and others heard this, they thought that he was finally going to speak on the topic of anti-Japanese resistance, and they couldn't help but feel relieved. And Zhang Da and other relevant people who went to the station to greet them laughed at each other, and they all thought: "It's so nonsense, after all, it's young, and the childlike heart is still there!" ”

"I really want to transmit such a magnificent scene back to Renqiu, so that the military and civilians of Renqiu can see it together and understand the determination of our Guangdong compatriots to resist Japan. I think if they were lucky enough to see such a scene, they would be inspired and motivated. Well, I heard someone say yes, you can ask a filmmaker to shoot it? No, no, I have a better idea. I'm happy today, and I'll tell you a secret of our apprenticeship! ”

"What does he want to do?" Watching Ouyang Yun's speech become a homely affair, all the generals of the Guangdong army couldn't help frowning.

However, many people below were interested, and looking at their eager eyes, they were obviously attracted by this "secret".

Pretending to be a mysterious gesture, Ouyang Yun said: "The secret is that we have invented the TV set in our military division. Some people may not know what a TV is, so I'll explain it to you......"

So, a speech, no, it should be said that a commendation meeting turned into a TV promotion meeting, and Ouyang Yun's identity changed from an anti-Japanese hero to a salesman. As for Chen Jitang and others, they naturally had to play the role of experts and guests at the promotion meeting.

The meeting was undoubtedly a success, with successful precedents such as penicillin and off-road vehicles, and businessmen in Guangdong were not worried at all that Ouyang Yun would be untrustworthy. So, after the commendation meeting was dispersed, Ouyang Yun was immediately surrounded by enthusiastic Guangdong businessmen, and everyone took out their own names, hoping that Ouyang Yun could hand over the sales rights of TV sets in Guangdong to himself......

A commendation with ulterior motives was messed up like this by Ouyang Yun, Chen Jitang felt very faceless, and after the meeting ended, he returned to his office with a gloomy face.

Seeing this, Hu Hanmin smiled and said to Xiang Hanping beside him: "The thin and tall guy (Chen Jitang's nickname, because he is tall and thin) is still so small-bellied. ”

Xiang Hanping used to be the "No. 2 person in the Cantonese system" and was relied on by Chen Jitang as his right and left hand, but he was too angry and would definitely speak out, and as a result, he failed in the political struggle with Chen Weizhou and others, and had to take the initiative to relinquish military power. He looked at Ouyang Yun, who was surrounded by businessmen, and said: "The thin and tall guy is a shallow and narrow person, he pretends to be smart and lays such a trap for Ouyang Yun, and the clinker people have already seen through it." If my guess is correct, Ouyang Yun's attitude after the most reluctance should be temporary. ”

Hu Hanmin pushed his glasses and smiled: "This young man is a little interesting, in this case, I have to let the thin and tall guy reach an agreement with him." Hanping, you take a chance to find Ouyang Yun and help me make an appointment with him, I want to talk to him face-to-face. ”

"It's good."

Hu Hanmin glanced at Ouyang Yun and walked in the direction where Chen Jitang had gone.

When he rushed outside Chen Jitang's office, the latter was roaring inside: "...... I don't know what to do, what do you think of me as a place in Guangzhou?! Dare to play this game with me, hum, when I Chen someone grew up eating dry rice? ”

When Chen Jitang's guards saw Hu Hanmin, they hurriedly saluted, and then wanted to go in to report. Hu Hanmin waved his hand and said, "I'll go in by myself." Then, he knocked lightly on the door, and without waiting for anyone inside, pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as Chen Jitang saw Hu Hanmin, he couldn't scold the following words, and the three of them shouted Chairman Hu together, and Chen Jitang asked: "Chairman Hu, why are you here." ”

Hu Hanmin smiled and asked, "Are you scolding Ouyang Yun?" ”

Chen Jitang was a little embarrassed, and Zhang Da said: "Ouyang Yun doesn't know what to do, and he made a mess of a good commendation meeting, so it's no wonder that the commander-in-chief is angry." ”

"What's so angry about this, isn't he just a little clever? Besides, no matter how he makes trouble now, Nanjing can't explain it anyway, speaking of which, he has already suffered a big loss! ”

Chen Jitang thought about it, and didn't know if Lu Dao had figured it out, so he said with a smile: "The chairman is reasonable, this is indeed the case." ”

"So, what are you going to do next?"

Chen Jitang sat down, it seemed that the evil fire in his heart had not dissipated, he said: "I thought he was a guy worthy of cooperation, but now it seems that he is just a naughty boy." Well, treat them to a good meal and drink, and then send them away. ”

Hu Hanmin had already guessed that he would plan to do this, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "In this way, if he is really our Cantonese nobleman, wouldn't this opportunity be in vain." ”

Hearing him mention this matter, Chen Jitang's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but hesitate. Some time ago, a meteor flew over Guangdong from north to south, and he was familiar with astrology, and he hurriedly found his brother Chen Weizhou and his staff member Huang Banxian to ask for good luck. As a result, after some pretentiousness, the two sides agreed that the astrological sign had a noble person from the north, so he had the motivation to set up today's situation. Because of the great alliance with the cadet division, he invited Hu Hanmin to discuss, so Hu Hanmin also knew about the matter. After careful consultations, their original strategy was to obtain a place from the cadet division in exchange for certain conditions by forming an alliance with the cadet division, and then transfer a force to the north in the name of resisting Japan to establish a base area in North China. As long as this step is achieved, the road behind the Cantonese system will be much easier. They can either fight against the Guangdong and Nanjing governments in court, or they can use the pretext of resisting Japan to send troops north to wait for an opportunity to launch a rebellion against the Nanjing government......

Today's commendation meeting is an important part of the alliance with the Cadet Division, which was originally intended to separate Nanjing and the Cadet Division so that the Cantonese Department could gain the initiative in the negotiations, but I didn't expect Ouyang Yun to come out so whimsically and destroy the solemn atmosphere that Chen Jitang had painstakingly created. It is conceivable that if the rumors of this matter spread, he Chen Jitang and the Cantonese department will definitely become the talk of the people of the whole country after dinner......

Chen Jitang struggled fiercely in his heart, looked at Hu Hanmin for a while, and asked, "What does the chairman mean?" ”

Hu Hanmin smiled slightly and said, "An alliance with the cadet division is a must. Sooner or later, there will be a conflict between us and Lao Chiang, so that one more ally will give us more strength. Although there are few cadet divisions, it is difficult to say what level they will develop to given the time and the territory they now control. Moreover, don't forget that penicillin and off-road vehicles, the cadet has such a high level of technology, I believe that as long as there are no accidents, its rise will be a historical trend. ”

Hu Hanmin is worthy of being a veteran of the Kuomintang and the spiritual leader of the powerful faction in the south, and the evidence for this exposition is conclusive and convincing.

Chen Jitang suddenly clapped his head and said, "Okay, then we will act according to the original plan." Zhang Da, you call the Gui Department now, please Li and He come over as soon as possible, this time, we are going to play a big vote. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Da walked out of the hall in response.

Chen Jitang said with a smile: "The big thing is decided, we should go and rescue Ouyang Yun from the merchants." After all, the other party is a guest from afar, and we can't afford to slack off. ”

Later, as if nothing had happened, Chen Jitang invited Ouyang Yun and his entourage to visit the Guangdong Headquarters and the Guangdong Provincial Government Office Building, and held a high-scale welcome banquet that night.

The next day, Ouyang Yun and others, accompanied by Zhang Da, visited the base camps of the First and Second Group Armies of the Guangdong Province in the suburbs of Guangzhou City in the morning, and in the afternoon attended a gathering of businessmen sponsored by the Guangdong Provincial Government......

In the evening, after attending a cocktail party held by the business community after the completion of the building, Ouyang Yun did not go directly to his apartment, but took a rickshaw under Liu Chengyu's arrangement and went straight to Hu Hanmin's residence in Guangzhou.

Somewhat sneakily entered the courtyard of Hu Hanmin's house from the back door, and Hu Hanmin and Xiang Hanping were already waiting in a room not far from the back door.

After the three of them met and greeted, when the maid brought tea, Hu Hanmin asked Ouyang Yun with a smile: "General Ouyang, no one knows your whereabouts, right?" ”

Although he wondered in his heart that Hu Hanmin wanted to hide from Chen Jitang to invite him, Ouyang Yun was not reckless to the extent of asking questions as soon as they met, he replied with a smile: "The back is very clean." President Hu was kindly invited, but I don't know what happened to Lu Dao? ”

"If I say it's just out of curiosity, does General Ouyang believe it?" Hu Hanmin picked up his book bag.

"Chairman Hu, Commissioner Xiang, Ouyang is a junior, thank you for looking up to it, if you can, please call me Ouyang!" Ouyang Yun saw Hu Hanmin's left one general after another, where did he dare to be arrogant in front of his old man, and said with a little trepidation.

Hu Hanmin and Xiang Hanping looked at each other and smiled, and Xiang Hanping said: "Sir, since General Ouyang is so polite, let's call it by name, which is also more cordial." ”

Hu Hanmin stroked his beard and smiled, as if he admired Ouyang Yun's modest performance. He looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "Then you don't want to be the old chairman, if you don't see anything else, just call me Mr. like Hanping and them." ”

Xiang Hanping continued: "As for me, how old are you, how about we call each other brothers?" ”

Ouyang Yun hurriedly expressed his courtesy and said, "That kid can climb high." ”

Hu and Xiang looked at each other and smiled again, and then, Hu Hanmin took out a document from the drawer and gently handed it to Ouyang Yun and said, "Ouyang, look at this, is the information in it informative?" ”

Ouyang Yun took it and opened it, his face changed after a glance, he stood up and asked, "This, this, where did you get this, sir?" ”

It is more accurate to say that it is a document, but it is more accurate to describe it as practical intelligence, because it contains a detailed record of the contents and data of the cadet division from establishment, personnel to weapons, and the most important thing is that it actually mentions things related to the oil field.

Hu Hanmin smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, this document has only been read by me and Hanping, and the person who obtained this information is dead." ”

At first, he sighed, but then a question came to mind, and Ouyang Yunfu became nervous again - what was Hu Hanmin's intention in showing this to himself?

As if guessing his thoughts, Hu Hanmin smiled and said, "This document will be given to you." You may wonder why we want to do this, hehe, don't think about it, you should know my proposition, I have always been a strong support. ”

"Xie Luxie, on behalf of all the officers of the Cadet Division and all the people of Renqiu and Chahar, thank you!" After Ouyang Yun finished speaking, he stood up and solemnly saluted them.

"Sit, that's what we're supposed to do. The national affairs are difficult, you cadets are on the front line of the anti-Japanese resistance, and you are fighting alone, and it should be said that we are old people who can only shout empty slogans. ”

"Sir, can you tell me who got this information?"

Hu Hanmin shook his head, and he said with a straight face: "Ouyang, the person who obtained this information has no ill intentions, otherwise, it would not have fallen into my hands." As you know, there is still Nanjing between North China and Guangzhou. ”

Thinking that this was indeed the case, Ouyang Yun didn't ask much. He smiled bitterly: "The reason why I want to ask is that I am really a little unwilling. To keep the two seniors to myself, I think I have a very high degree of control over the Cadet Division, so I can't think of any outsider who can get such confidential information. ”

Hu Hanmin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Listen to what you mean, the content of this information should be true." ”

"Mostly true!" Ouyang Yun told a little lie.

"What about the oil fields?"

Facing the aggressive gazes of Hu and Xiang, and remembering the intention of the two to return this information, Ouyang Yun really couldn't bear to pull the lie around, so he replied truthfully and falsely: "When I was in the United States, I met a priest who had preached in North China, and I learned from him that there was oil in North China, so I did not hesitate to invite three experts back from the United States at a high price, but unfortunately, I still haven't found it so far. ”

"Really?" Hu Hanmin was noncommittal to this answer and asked: "So is the content about 'Wei Qing' and 'going to the disease' true?" ”

"It's true."

Hu Xiang and the others glanced at each other, and looked at Ouyang Yun's eyes that suddenly brightened, and the latter smiled: "It's no wonder that you can even defeat the Kwantung Army!" With such sharp weapons, the cadet division can already be called the strongest army in China. ”

Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly, wanting to explain the real situation, but he was worried that he would be unable to control it and shift the topic to oil again, so he simply kept silent.

Hu Hanmin said: "The reason why the thin and tall guy wants to form an alliance with the Cadet Division is precisely the idea of these weapons, Ouyang, what do you think about this matter?" ”
