So when Song Zheyuan proposed to prepare for the establishment of a military government in Yicha, first carry out Yicha autonomy, and strengthen his own strength, no one including Ouyang Yun raised any objections.

Historically, the autonomy of the 29th Army in North China was a matter of November, but due to the appearance of Ouyang Yun, the pace of history seems to have become faster, first the "Qin-Tu Agreement" and the "Hemei Agreement" were signed in advance, and then the Yicha autonomy that directly triggered the "129 Movement" also happened in advance.

"If you have any ideas, please mention them now, but after the meeting, I hope that you must resolutely take this as your code of conduct in the future, and you must not be emotional!" Song Zheyuan said, his eyes fell on Ouyang Yun's face, and said, "Don't just smile, I'm most worried about you!" It's a good thing that young people have blood, but since they are a member of the 29th Army, they must think about the future of tens of thousands of soldiers before doing anything, and they can't do things just according to their preferences like before! There is a source for what he said, the reason why the 29th Army wanted to set up a military government at the risk of disapproval was actually coerced by the Japanese. Three days ago, when he was still in Tianjin, Kenji Dohihara came to his door, took out the plan for the autonomy of North China, which he had been planning for for an unknown period of time, asked him to sign it, and threatened that if Song could not implement this plan by the end of June, then the Japanese army would send troops to Hebei and Shandong. Song Zheyuan was forced to be helpless, on the one hand, he did not dare to sign and become a national sinner, but on the other hand, he was already ready to compromise, and after communicating with Qin Dechun, Zhang Weifan, and Xiao Zhenying, he decided to adopt this opinion in the army first, and then choose the right time to issue a national telegram to announce autonomy in a euphemistic way.

The people present are all old fritters in the officialdom, so they naturally understand the ambiguous relationship, Ouyang Yun is familiar with this history, and he also knows what the words of Dao Song mean. Everyone looked at him, Qin Dechun laughed, and said, "The military seat is a good awakening, Brigade Commander Ouyang is a 'double hero of resistance against Japan'." This time is different from the past, Brigadier Ouyang, you are now the representative of the new strength of the 29th Army, and you really can't just rely on your will. ”

Yicha autonomy is the result of Ouyang Yun's undesirable results, otherwise there is no soil for many of his grand plans to be carried out at all. After this period of experience, he also has an understanding of the domestic political environment and the character characteristics of Song Zheyuan and others, and when he heard this, he nodded and said: "Thank you for the teachings of the two military commanders, the kid has been taught-Deputy Commander Qin, Ouyang is a junior, if you don't give up, please call me Ouyang." He looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone is older than me, and they are all Ouyang's father's brother and elder, if you don't see the outside, please call me by my name." ”

Song Zheyuan said: "That's how it should be - since everyone is destined to work together, it's like a family, Ouyang is the youngest among us, the youngest and the least qualified, and many places need to be well guided and supported here, well, everyone will call him by his name in the future, so it sounds more cordial." ”

Zhang Zizhong looked at Ouyang Yun and said: "Since the military seat also said so, then we will rely on the old and sell the old in the future, and call Brother Ouyang by his name." ”

Song Zheyuan said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a clear understanding of the current situation of our army, so let's talk about the issue of expansion and deployment. ”

This is the theme of today's meeting, and it is also the essence of the cake, everyone is in good spirits, correct shape, and the atmosphere in the conference room has become a little serious for a while.

"After my discussion with Lao Qin and Lao Zhang, Xiong Bin also agreed on behalf of Lao Jiang, and on the basis of the original framework, our army plans to expand as follows - among them, the 37th Division is 4 brigades and 9 regiments, and 1 brigade and 3 regiments are added, which are responsible for the defense of Beiping; The 38th Division was 5 brigades and 11 regiments, with an increase of 2 brigades and 5 regiments, which were responsible for the defense of Tianjin; The 132nd Division was expanded to 4 brigades and 8 regiments, and 1 brigade and 2 regiments were added to move to the front line of Neiqiu and Xingtai; The 143rd Division increased the establishment of 2 brigades and 5 regiments, which were responsible for all the defense of Chahar; The Cadet Corps was expanded into an independent brigade of cadet soldiers, with three regiments and a special battalion under it, which was responsible for the defense of the Qiu area. In addition, a certain number of security forces will be set up in each region as appropriate, and they will be placed under the direct command of the local garrison......"

Because it was a matter of the overall situation, it took Song Zheyuan about 20 minutes to read out the order for the deployment and expansion of the 29th Army. ”

Zhao Dengyu immediately stood up and said: "Military seat, Renqiu is the hinterland of Hebei, close to Pingjin, is it a little inappropriate to let the independent brigade defend?" Once a war breaks out in Pingjin, the independent brigade, as a second-line force, will have a considerable impact on the battle situation! ”

Renqiu was originally the defense ground of the 132nd Division, and after Zhao Dengyu led his troops to arrive there, he had already built a military camp and made some personnel arrangements. In addition, as he said, Renqiu is the rear of Pingjin, once Pingjin starts, the reaction of Renqiu garrison and the impact of the transfer on the battle situation will be very important, the independent brigade is mainly a soldier, and the brigade commander Ouyang Yun is so young, can he be competent for such a heavy burden?

The independent brigade was able to transfer Renqiu, naturally Qin Dechun played a role, the 29th Army was stationed in Hebei, and a military government would definitely be formed in the future, so that the supreme administrator of Renqiu would naturally be Ouyang Yun. As the think tank of the 29th Army, Qin Dechun naturally understands the importance of Renqiu to the overall situation of the 29th Army - Ouyang Yun does not know what method Chen Hanlin used to say that Qin Dechun helped this great favor, but this is not the problem he is most concerned about, what he wants most now is the oil under Renqiu.

Since Qin Dechun was able to say that Song Zheyuan would transfer the Independent Brigade to Renqiu, the reason was of course very sufficient, and he said with a smile: "Dengyu, this is actually what I mean, you don't know the way, there are treasures hidden under Renqiu." ”

"Huh?" Everyone couldn't help but be puzzled, and said in their hearts that since there is a treasure in Renqiu's underground, why should Ouyang Yun, an outsider, be cheap?

Qin Dechun's next sentence solved everyone's doubts: "There is oil underground in Renqiu, and Ouyang happens to master the techniques of extraction and refining, which is the reason why the Independent Brigade is transferred to defend Renqiu." As for whether the independent brigade can play its due role in the event of a war in the future," he glanced at Song Zheyuan and said: "The military seat has been decided, and the whole army will be held on New Year's Day next year. ”

What does oil mean in modern society? No one in the 29th Army was unclear, and for a while, many people's eyes became hot, and Zhao Dengyu said: "Obediently, is this true?" Looking at Qin Dechun and asking, "Deputy Commander Qin, how do you know the Dao?" ”

Qin Dechun smiled slightly and said, "I have an old friend who knows an exploration team from the Americans, and I got the news from them. Ladies and gentlemen, once we have fuel, then it is also possible for us to form a tank and aircraft force-" His gaze fell on Ouyang Yun's face and asked, "Ouyang, listen to my old friend, you have mastered the art of extracting and refining oil, is this true?" ”

Ouyang Yun nodded and said: "Yes, I have also read information about the existence of oil in Renqiu in the American geographical magazine, and I think that as long as you can buy equipment, extraction and refining are not a problem." He stood up and saluted Song Zheyuan and said, "Junzao, I have a question I want to ask." ”

Song Zheyuan nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

"Is Tianjin Tanggukou Wharf in our hands?"

"Tianjin is all over the concessions of various countries, and Tanggukou, as a treaty port, is not allowed to garrison, and it is currently under the jurisdiction of the Tianjin Garrison Command, so it can be regarded as in our hands."

"Throne, this is not going to work. If our army wants to truly develop and grow, Tanggukou must be firmly in our hands -- the Pingjin territory, and the only channel we can rely on for import and export is the sea route. On land, not to mention the increase in freight, it is inevitable that the local government will pluck the feathers, in that case, no matter how hard we work and how good the products are, it may just be to make wedding dresses for others. ”

Song Zheyuan frowned and thought about it, realized that this was a problem, and said: "The importance of Tanggukou is naturally self-evident, but this matter is too wide-ranging, and if it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will cause international disputes." ”

The other people here, except for Guo Biao and Qin Dechun, everyone else couldn't understand the content of the conversation between the two, Tianjin belongs to the jurisdiction of the 38th Division, Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but ask: "Junzao, do you mean that you are going to open a factory and run a business?" ”

Song Zheyuan said "oh" and said: "I forgot to tell you about this, our little Ouyang is not simple, his head is full of wealth, hehe, Zizhong is right, we just want to set up a factory, and we want to do it big!" Saying that, he asked Guo Biao to take out Ouyang Yun's plan and hand it over to everyone to circulate one by one, saying: "This is Ouyang's plan, and many of the techniques involved in it are leading in the world. Thinking of the problem of Tanggukou, he said: "As Ouyang said, if this Tanggukou is not handled well, it may really make us anxious with a hen that can lay eggs!" Tanggukou, Tanggukou - do you have any suggestions? ”

Everyone circulated the plan book, because they didn't understand the meaning of some of the technical terms, as if they were reading a book from heaven. Zhang Zizhong was the first to read it, then scratched his head and said: "I'm a military man, I really can't understand these academic things, but if these things have all kinds of magical effects as written in the book, they should be quite valuable, then Tanggukou is really very important to our army!" ”

Zhao Dengyu stood up, waved his hand and said: "If there is anything difficult, if it is really not possible, military management will be carried out, the Western powers only have a small security force in Tianjin, and they will definitely not dare to carry it with us, as for little Japan, I don't believe they dare to do it now!" ”

Feng Zhi'an echoed: "Dengyu's method is good, I agree!" ”

Ouyang Yun saw that they were all on the tip of the horns, and said with a smile: "Military seats, generals, military management is necessary, but if it is done in a proper way, I estimate that the great powers, including Little Japan, will not only not object, but even wish to do so." ”

Song Zheyuan hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”

The other people's eyes lit up when they heard this, and when they looked at this young man, they all felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye.
