Gu Lianyun's sudden poisoning made Ouyang Yun start to worry about the safety of the ghost house, it just so happened that the defense site of the Xuebing Brigade had been determined, and after the flag awarding ceremony was carried out the day after tomorrow, the whole brigade would be driven to Renqiu. Early the next morning, he and Bai Tassel took Gu Lianyun to the hospital for an examination, and after confirming that she was fine, they took them and the entire Fox Pupil Special Operations Team to Wanping.

That night, he took a few students from the original third company and drove five trucks from Wanping to the wolf's den. The next day, a few local old men were invited to help take care of the wolf's den, and then the training equipment that could be taken away was removed, and all the members of the wolf's tooth were taken to Wanping - so far, all the personnel of the Cadet Brigade gathered together and began to prepare for the flag ceremony on June 6.

On June 6, a sunny day, at 9:15 a.m., on the No. 2 training ground of Wanping Barracks, the establishment of the Cadet Independent Brigade and the flag awarding ceremony began. The three bigwigs of the 29th Army, Song Zheyuan, Qin Dechun, and Zhang Weifan, were all present, and in front of the square formed by the students, under the solemn gaze of the students, Song Zheyuan handed over a brand-new flag of the Independent Brigade of the Cadet to Ouyang Yun, and then delivered a speech entitled "I Die and the Country Survives" - "The soldiers of the Independent Brigade, today is a special day, and the Independent Brigade of the 29th Army has been established. Since then, there has been an additional team of both civil and military personnel on the land of China, and since then, you have become a warrior from a student! You will use the pen in your hand and the gun on your shoulder to defend the dignity of the country and realize your personal value...... One day we will be faced with such a choice, I will die for the country, or the country will die for me, so as a soldier, what will be your choice? "I'm dead!" The cadets made their choice with thunderous voices.

Song Zheyuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Very good, I am dead and the country survives, if all my descendants of Yan and Huang can have such determination, then what country in this world dares to underestimate us, and which robber dares to spy on our rivers and mountains?!" ……”

This flag-awarding ceremony was insisted on by Ouyang Yun - the military flag is the most important historical evidence of a unit's inheritance, inheriting the spiritual strength of a troop and the soul of the troop. Ouyang Yun wanted to make the soldiers realize the importance of the military flag and establish a sense of honor through the flag awarding ceremony.

After Song Zheyuan finished speaking, he ran to the other party, stood up and saluted, and then raised the military flag in his hand with both hands, and said in a loud voice: "Ouyang Yun, the first brigade commander of the Independent Brigade, assured the military seat that the people are in the flag, the flag is in the position, and the Cadet Independent Brigade has the confidence to let our military flag always fly high, always represent honor and victory, and always be loyal to the people and the 29th Army!" Then he turned around and yelled at the cadet team: "All the cadet brigades, take a break, stand upright, and swear!" Welcome the military flag! ”

Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu, who were standing at the front of the square, ran forward, stood upright and saluted, Ji Xingwen took the military flag and held it high, and said loudly with Li Tieshu: "Ji Xingwen, chief of staff of the Cadet Brigade (deputy brigade commander Li Tieshu), swears to the military flag - the people are in the flag, the flag is in the position, and the Cadet Independent Brigade has the confidence that our military flag will always fly high, always only represent honor and victory, and always be loyal to the people and the 29th Army!" ”

After the two of them, Ji Xingkai, a representative of other officers at the brigade headquarters, and others took the military flag and took the oath, and then the regimental and special service battalion commanders represented by Chen Shichang took the flag and took the oath.

For this flag-awarding ceremony, the Cadet Brigade has conducted two drills, everyone is in place in terms of both mental outlook and action, seeing Song Zheyuan and others can't help nodding, secretly applauding in their hearts, they all sighed that Ouyang Yun is deeply hidden, I didn't expect him to lead the troops so well, only through this one oath to welcome the military flag ceremony, they clearly feel that the team of nearly 600 people in the Cadet Brigade is gradually like five fingers leaning against the palm of the palm, is condensing into a strong fist.

On their way back to Nanyuan, Zhang Weifan said: "I really can't see it, Ouyang Yun, this little guy is very good at leading troops!" ”

Qin Dechun felt the same way, and said: "I look at the drill on New Year's Day next year, and the student brigade is very likely to win the first place!" ”

Song Zheyuan said: "Why do I think it's too fancy, it seems to be acting." ”

Qin Dechun said: "No, no, it's not acting, the expressions of the students are very dignified, and there is a clear amount of strength in it!" ”

Zhang Weifan said tentatively: "Song Gong, I said that I am not increasing the establishment of the Cadet Brigade?" Three regiments seem to be missing. ”

"Don't worry, let's wait until New Year's Day, putting them in Renqiu has already caused a lot of nonsense, and if we add them to the establishment at this time, I will provoke public anger in the Xuebing Brigade."

"Well, it's a possibility."

After sending off the three bigwigs, the Cadet Brigade conducted the flag awarding ceremony of the headquarters under the auspices of Ouyang Yun. After the cadet corps was officially expanded into a brigade, it now has three infantry regiments and one special battalion under its jurisdiction, and directly under the brigade headquarters are the Langya Brigade, the Special Service Brigade, the Fox Pupil Special Operations Group, the Communications Company, the Medical Company, and the Guard Company. The communications company, the medical company, and some units of the brigade headquarters are only frameworks at present because of the scarcity of personnel. The Renqiu Special Police Squadron will work with the Fox Tong counterintelligence department to be responsible for the security of the special service team.

In the flag awarding ceremony of the headquarters, Ouyang Yun integrated the enlistment procedures of the recruits, completely copying the enlistment ceremony of the recruits of the Seventh Steel Company in "Soldier Assault", and carried out them separately with the company as a unit. Because there were only more than 600 people in the original Xue Corps plus the new recruits, after consulting Ji Xingwen's opinion, based on the 219 Regiment, they formed the 2nd Xue Regiment and the 3rd Xue Regiment respectively. Then, with the original student corps as the framework, the 1st Xue Regiment and the special service battalion were formed. The communication company, the medical company, and the guard company can only be built slowly.

Ouyang Yun, Ji Xingwen, and Li Tieshu, as the three freshly baked bosses of the student corps, stood in front of the team with the staff members, and listened to the oath and flag in their ears: ...... The Nth soldier of a certain company swore to the military flag, the people are in the flag, the flag is in the position, and we swear to let our military flag always fly high, always represent only honor and victory, and always be loyal to the people and the 29th Army...... Ouyang Yun was of course smiling and enjoying this kind of scene; Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu looked at him and then at the resolute soldiers, and finally understood why he insisted on holding this oath ceremony - this is definitely not something that can be summed up in a fancy, when the soldiers took over the flag, their faces naturally became solemn and sacred, obviously, they had truly understood the honor represented by the military flag. There is reason to believe that in the next eventful years, they will use their blood and lives to protect the honor of being soldiers.

- They looked up to Ouyang Yun, the reason why he wanted to carry out this oath ceremony, which at least looked more fancy, was actually just to fulfill a dream of his own. Before enlisting in the army, he always thought that all the troops would be like the one described in "Soldier Assault", such as the third company of steel to carry out such an oath ceremony, and when he really joined the army, he realized that Lu Dao's imagination is always more beautiful than reality, and that is just a popular joke made by the screenwriter of "Soldier Assault".

Of course, in the thirties of the 20 th century, the effect of such a flag oath ceremony was different -- the oath ceremony of the student brigade was vigorous, and it caused great repercussions in all departments of the 29 th Army, and many troops followed the same example, and the oath and flag gradually became a procedure that the recruits of the 29 th Army had to go through after joining the army, which was unexpected by Ouyang Yun, the initiator. In the later battles between the 29th Army and the Japanese army, many touching stories happened because of this, so that this oath ceremony gradually became legendary, and also achieved the name of the 29th Army's Iron Army!

After the flag-awarding ceremony, it marked the official establishment of the Cadet Brigade, and the next day it was to be stationed in Renqiu. This is definitely a first-class event in Ouyang Yun's traversal career, to put it mildly, from now on, he will not be fighting alone. Originally, in his plan, the cadet brigade still needed to carry out some rectification, such as the establishment of a soldiers' committee with the function of supervising officers, and a military police unit responsible for military discipline supervision. However, because of the addition of the 219th regiment, he decided to slow down. The soldiers' committee will certainly not work in a unit like the 29th Army, which still has the color of a warlord, and if it is not done well, it will be labeled as a certain organization, and it will not be good if it causes public outrage. Fortunately, the Secretariat and the Archives Office have been established, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of the promise he made to the trainees in Tianjin at the beginning.

That night, after visiting Gu Lianyun, he returned to the dormitory, sat down at the desk, and was about to prepare for class, when a battalion commander on duty came and knocked on the door, saying that someone was looking for him outside the barracks.

When he saw Jiang Shuren who was blocked there at the gate of the barracks, he remembered the matter of the inspection group, and couldn't help patting his head hard, and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Jiang, looking at my memory, I forgot about the inspection team." ”

The affairs of the inspection group have been taken care of by Jiang Shuren recently, which obviously tired him enough. Ouyang Yun saw that his eye sockets were deeply sunken and obviously lack of sleep, and said guiltily: "I'm really sorry, I've worked hard lately." I wanted to ask him to sit down in the barracks and talk, but he waved his hand and said, "Don't go in, Brother Ouyang, someone has left the group today, and if it goes on like this, I think that by the day of departure, it is estimated that the businessmen will run out." ”

He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How can this be?" "Since the news of penicillin was released, the merchants of Peking have regarded him as a figure like the God of Wealth, and they are afraid that they will not even be able to find a way to give gifts. He couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"The businessmen were still very enthusiastic at first, but when they heard that they were going to take a ship for nearly a month, many people retreated, saying that it is naturally a good thing to make money, but the risk at sea is too great, and if there is a life to earn and no life to spend, it is better not to make money."

Ouyang Yun thought about it and understood what was going on, and said with a smile: "This is strange, don't businessmen value money more than life?" Well, it seems that the temptation is not enough. Then let's first come out of the two factories, set up a few typical examples, and put the interests under their noses, but we want to see if they are tempted. ”

Jiang Shuren shook his head helplessly and said, "That's it." Another thing, there is still a big gap in the funding of oil companies, is it to increase the scale of financing? ”

"How much is missing?"

"Chen Hanlin accounts for 10% of the shares, out of 1.5 million, a few days ago Adjutant Gu gave me about 2 million, at least 2 million short."

The drilling and refining equipment required by the oil company was discounted by about 800,000 US dollars, and Chen Hanlin accounted for 10% of the shares, bidding 1.5 million. The 29th Army and Song Zheyuan, Xuebing Brigade, and Ouyang Yun are the three largest shareholders, but the first two are cadre shares, of which the 29th Army and Song Zheyuan are 35%, and the Xuebing Brigade is 15%, plus 10% of the cadre shares of Renqiu County Government, and the remaining 40% of the shares, Ouyang Yun uses technology as 10% of the shares, and the remaining 30% is worth about 4 million yuan, which needs to be paid by him in cash.

Ouyang Yun considered that there were too many places to use money in the future, so the batch of gold was not used, and all the funds were raised by Gu Lianyun by selling those antique calligraphy and paintings. But because her friend of the American boss happened to return to China, without this big buyer, she could raise so much money just by selling to some retail investors.

"Two ways, first go to the military seat and see if he can help raise some; Or give Renqiu County Government a 20% stake and let them pay for it. ”

Jiang Shuren saw that he never mentioned financing from businessmen, and knew that oil was a strategic resource and must be firmly in his own hands, so he nodded in agreement. Then the two of them rushed to Nanyuan overnight to ask to see Song Zheyuan.

Song Zheyuan has been operating in Chahar for a few years, and he must have money in his hands, but I don't know if Lu Dao was because he was stimulated by the time in Shanxi, so that he is now very precious to his belongings.

Jiang Shuren actually expected such a result before he came, and seeing that Song Zheyuan looked at him with a sense of blame, he secretly smiled bitterly, and it was not good to say anything more.

Ouyang Yun didn't know whether it was true or not, and thought that Chahar was not a rich place, so he proposed the second plan, transferring 20% of the shares to the Renqiu County Government, and the county government would pay for it.

This plan is still good logically, Ouyang Yun is about to serve as the chief executive of Renqiu, and the shares held by the Renqiu County Government are equivalent to his control, however, Song Zheyuan smiled when he heard this suggestion, and reminded him: "The national government has just withdrawn from Hebei, do you think the local finance still has money?" ”

Song Zheyuan has been in officialdom for a long time and knows Lao Jiang's set very well, and this remark is not untargeted.
