Chapter 59: The Meeting (II)
The original development direction of the student army was very simple, that is, to resist Japan. Of course, many people don't believe this, especially Lao Jiang and the interest groups he says he represents. Therefore, when the Cadet Army was only a small military group, the Nationalist Government tried to take it into its own possession. However, it backfired, and the combat power or energy shown by the small student army was very amazing, and the Nationalist Government not only failed to pocket it, but also took a regiment of military police elite. After that, the development of the Scholar Army was quite amazing, because there was no financial constraint, Ouyang Yun recruited troops and horses, and in a short period of time, the Scholar Army became the same existence as the 29th Army, and began to have a real voice in North China. At this time, the Nationalist Government still did not take the Cadet Army too seriously, and of course, now, they paid a heavy price for their negligence at that time.
If the members of the Nationalist Government also had time-travelers, then they should be happy about the current situation of the Cadet Army, because at that time and space, whether it was Guangdong or Fujian, it was occupied by the Japanese early. The place that the Cadet Army now occupies was actually snatched from the Japanese. The old soldier is powerful, and he can snatch food from the tiger's mouth, which is a good thing for the national government. Unfortunately, no one in the Nationalist Government realized this, so they instinctively thought that the Cadet Army was the territory they had snatched, and that the tiger was biting the Japanese and biting them at the same time.
After the Cadet Army arrived in Guangdong, it can be said that there have been some changes in the direction of development, but this change is not artificial, not because of Ouyang Yun's personal ambitions, but the inevitable trend of the Cadet Army to develop to a certain scale. The student army has become a big group, and there are also small factions in it, and there are all kinds of people. People have ambitions, even if Ouyang Yun himself does not have the ambition to win the world, it does not mean that they do not have the ambition to be a dragon. Who called the Cadet Army to have this strength? Let's see, so far, under the iron heel of the Japanese, which army has always been able to maintain the balance of power or even superiority, only the student army. Since our student army can fight the little devils obediently, should there be an innate sense of superiority for the central army that has been beaten by the little devils? The process of the development and growth of the student army in Guangdong was seen by some people in the Nationalist Government, and they could not help but be blushing. The Central Army is also the largest military organization in China at present, but look at it, the students of the army are flying all over the sky and the tanks are running all over the ground, what does our Central Army have? I finally got some planes, and as soon as I got into the sky, I was beaten all over the ground by the Japanese, and as for the tanks, not to mention, it would be nice to have more anti-aircraft guns. Where did the planes of the Cadet Corps and the tank divisions come from? It's all Cantonese. These Cantonese furniture should have belonged to our Central Army. Many people in the national government thought self-righteously, watching the growing growth of the student army, that red-eyed, eager to pull Ouyang Yun to Chongqing to cook and eat.
The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, in this case, even if Ouyang Yun is really bent on resisting Japan, no one believes it. If the low-level officers and soldiers of the Chongqing government and even the whole of China were happy with the strength of the Cadet Army, then those in power felt a serious threat, and they even felt suffocated. Because they knew that if the current situation continued, the defeat of the Japanese would be a matter of time, and even as long as the students and soldiers came out. But what about after defeating the Japanese? What to do after defeating the Japanese? At that time, will the student soldiers who have served as the saviors of China still be willing to live in the same place? It is impossible, at that time, they will definitely want to enter the central government and rule the whole of China.
Since the Xuebing Army entered Guangdong, Lao Jiang has not behaved excessively on the issue of Xuebing the Army, but the more this is the case, the more it shows that he has thoughts in his heart. It can be said that the reason why the Nationalist Government was willing to make peace with the Japanese was a great factor because of the soldiers. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, why was Lao Jiang so keen on the outside world and the inside first? Although there are certainly positive ideas in this, such as the unification of the whole of China in order to better resist Japan, on the other hand, it also shows that the selfishness of his people is extremely heavy, and he can even give up the interests of the country for personal ambitions.
Is it really just because Zhang Shaomarshal wants to preserve his strength and chooses to back down? No, maybe Lao Jiang's selfishness is the most important. What he was worried about was not the Japanese, but the strength of the Red Army, which had grown and strengthened in the northwest.
The student army has developed to such a point today, even if Ouyang Yun has the heart to live in peace with the Chongqing government, it is no longer possible. Originally, because of the invasion of foreign enemies, in line with the purpose of unanimously resisting Japan, the two sides were still able to live in peace and go to the national disaster together, but now that the Chongqing government doesn't even want this fig leaf, what else does the student army have to fear? What else does he Ouyang Yun have to scruple about? Lao Jiang's current mentality, Ouyang Yun has basically seen through it, he just wants to take advantage of this national disaster to eradicate dissidents in the name of righteousness. The Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Xuzhou, when these two major wars occurred, there were Japanese troops around Fujian and Yueqiong, and Ouyang Yun had enough reasons to refuse to send troops. But he still resolutely chose to send troops for what to do, he just didn't want to be told the truth to Jiang because of this. Well, the compromise of the Xuebing Army was not exchanged for Jiang someone's understanding, on the contrary, Jiang and those behind him became even more shameless, and they didn't even care about the safety of the country. They did this to threaten the Xuebing Army with the survival of the country, and threaten him Ouyang Yun.
As a matter of fact, Ouyang Yun was 90 percent sure of the transfer of the Central Army, believing that they would not dare to shoot black guns in the back when the Cadet Army fought a decisive battle with Japan. However, not shooting black guns at that time does not mean that black guns will not be fired in the future. The Japanese do not have the pressure to defend in North China and Central China, and can go all out to deal with the Cadet Army, so with the current strength of the Cadet Army, even if they can resist this crazy attack of the Japanese, their strength will inevitably be greatly damaged, and at that time, will they still have the strength to resist the infiltration and even invasion of the Central Army? No. Presumably, this is the ultimate goal of Lao Chiang's agreement to reach this peace talks with Japan.
These words can't be said in front of everyone, so Ouyang Yun can say them in front of Jiang Shuren, Li Tieshu, and Ji Xingwen. As for Jiang Guangnai, he should have seen this, so he would give Ouyang Yun such an opportunity by asking rhetorically.
All of them looked at Ouyang Yun, and some of them even felt suffocated in their hearts when they looked at Ouyang Yun's thin pale lips. They knew that no matter what Ouyang Yun said, there was one fact that was inevitable, in the next period of time, the Xuebing Army would definitely encounter a stormy attack by the Japanese. Regardless of whether the student army can hold on or not, the result is inevitable, and the central army will certainly take advantage of the situation to advance, and the student army will inevitably sacrifice great interests in order to maintain its current position. At that time, they will be faced with a dilemma, whether to continue to stay in the Cadet Army or throw themselves into the arms of the Central Army, and either choice means that their future is stopped.
Ouyang Yun slowly glanced at everyone, and when he looked at Jiang Guangnai, he felt the firmness in the other party's eyes, nodded lightly, and said, "I just said that I hate and hate fighting civil wars, which means that I will not take the initiative to provoke civil wars." However, if someone wants to take advantage of the danger of others and want to throw himself into the well when it is difficult for us to study the army, then I am sorry, and I will resolutely choose to meet it. The next year will definitely be the most difficult year for our student army. Since the establishment of the Cadet Army, it has actually experienced many dangers, but this time is different. Our cadet army is no longer a regiment, a brigade, or even a division. Our student army is not only an army, but also a political force. Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever thought about it, but in fact, the reason why our student army has been able to come to this point is that we are strong enough to be soldiers and resolute enough to fight devils, but on the other hand, we have a certain mass base. We have taken root in Fujian, Yueqiong. Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever been to the countryside? Did you feel any difference? Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever thought that if we fail or even disappear from the long river of history, we will be the only ones who will suffer? No, there are also the people of the three places who stand behind us and resolutely support us. Therefore, we must not fall, even if there is only one person left, we must not fall, we must know that behind us, nearly 10,000 compatriots are living happily. Ladies and gentlemen, look a little bigger, the burden on us is heavy. This burden is also an honor. Ladies and gentlemen, the soldiers of the Central Army want to wait to eat the fruit, okay, let's let them feel what the fruit of our army tastes like. Li Ziwen! ”
Li Ziwen was blinking at him at this time, the commander-in-chief's speech was a bit general, as a politician from a literati background, he Li Ziwen was a little dazed when he heard it. He didn't understand how the army had anything to do with the common people, and when Ouyang Yun called his name, he didn't hear it at all.
Sitting next to Li Ziwen was Tie Linfei, Tie Linfei quickly patted him and reminded in a low voice: "The commander-in-chief called you." ”
"Ahh Li Ziwen was taken aback, quickly stood up, looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "Commander-in-chief." ”
Seeing his embarrassment, many people laughed. Ouyang Yun also chuckled, and he asked, "How is the receiving tower in Guangxi being built?" ”
Since Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi asked Ouyang Yun for help to rebuild Guangxi, Ouyang Yun not only gave military support, but also selected many people to enrich the political team of the Gui family. At the same time, the Guangzhou Broadcasting Station was also invited to build electronic signal receiving towers in urban and rural areas to encourage the masses to listen to and watch the television and radio programs of the Cadet Army. Ouyang Yun pointed to Li Ziwen at this time, and he was preparing to launch a public opinion war in Guangxi.
TNND, you Lao Jiang and Lao Tzu are in the yin, Lao Tzu is a cartilage shrimp pinched at will. Wait and see, Lao Tzu can choke you to death if he doesn't send an army.
