September 11th. In the basement of a building in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, six young men and women sit around a table, discussing something.

They were the heads of the Foreign Affairs Department of Hong Kong, and what they were discussing at the moment was how to obtain evidence of peace between the Nationalist Government and the Japanese.

After Ouyang Yun received Mu Jiandie's telegram, he gave a positive reply to his plan for "military advice". After all, Ouyang Yun did not study history, and although he knew very well about the military process of World War II, he knew very little about some secret events in its historical process, and even less about some aspects. Therefore, when his attention was completely attracted by Wang Jingwei, the matter of Lao Jiang making peace with the Japanese suddenly appeared, and his square inch was a little messy.

As a traverser, he was clearly so heavily influenced by the history books that he only noticed the things on those levels, completely ignoring the undercurrents below.

If he knew Lao Chiang's personality and his complete psychological transformation process at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, I believe he would be alert to this matter. It's a pity that from a purely political point of view, he is still too immature to know that the deceit in the political arena is sometimes more dirty and bloody than war.

The Cadet Army has developed to the present day, and the navy, army, and air force are complete, of which the main force of the army consists of five armies and one guest army (three divisions of Zhang Zizhong's 57th Army), and if we add two divisions of the Jews and security forces and guerrillas in various localities, the total number is nearly 300,000.

300,000! It's a lot, but if you want to face Japan's forces in China alone, then this number of troops is too little. At the beginning of the year, the Japanese had only 14 divisions in China, but because of the defeat in the Battle of Nanjing, the number has now increased to 25. The Japanese have the largest number of first-class divisions of 50,000, and the smallest of the C-class is nearly 20,000, and roughly calculate that their total strength is **100,000, so as long as the Japanese army invests half of the troops, the student army will definitely be finished - Ouyang Yun has a clear understanding of this even if his heart is high, after all, the cultivation of a strong army is not an overnight thing, and the Japanese have been preparing for this for more than 200 years! The Cadet Army is known as 300,000, but what can really be done is actually only the five main forces.

When the Cadet Army was only one division, it was remembered by the old Jiang, and it was only then that Zhang Zhen led a regiment of military police to the north, and only then did he have the big knife, and then there was the current big knife regiment of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade. On this level alone, Lao Jiang contributed to the Scholar Army, and without him, the Scholar Army would not have expanded so quickly. Lao Jiang began to despise Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army, which made him gradually fall into a complete passivity in this matter. Later, as the Sino-Japanese war expanded, he had no chance. But Ouyang Yun knew that Lao Jiang had never given up from beginning to end, and he couldn't bear it now, but he was just waiting for the best opportunity. And this time, he wanted to make peace with the Japanese, but he didn't have a thief's heart, and wanted to weaken, disintegrate, and even eventually annex the Xuebing Army. Therefore, once they succeed in making peace, the enemy that the Cadet Army will face at that time will definitely not only be the Japanese, but also the Central Army behind them.

The two sides must not be allowed to reach a peace agreement! At this moment, this became Ouyang Yun's only choice. Therefore, although he knew that the evil consequences brought by the military advice would be unpredictable, and the country might even fall into division because of this, thus completely losing the current situation of the War of Resistance, Ouyang Yun had no choice. Rather than entrusting your fate to others, it is better to grasp it yourself - "Lao Tzu is resolutely anti-Japanese, better than some people at both ends of the snake and mouse," Ouyang Yun comforted himself with this excuse, and immediately made up his mind, telegraphing Mu Jiandie, if it really doesn't work, the soldiers will advise the soldiers!

After obtaining Ouyang Yun's approval, Mu Jiandie planned this matter in Chongqing, and the first thing he did was to let the fox pupil team in Hong Kong investigate and collect evidence to obtain evidence of peace between the Nationalist Government and the Japanese. So, there is the scene above.

As an international metropolis, Hong Kong has always been a battleground for intelligence organizations of various governments. After several years of development, Hong Kong now has a relatively complete spy network and a complete range of subordinate departments. The head of the foreign affairs department in Hong Kong is Gao Yang, a young man of medium build, slightly fat, and glasses. At first glance, Gao Yang's appearance is unremarkable, but if you pay attention, you will find that his eyes occasionally become very sharp, like a dagger shining with cold light. The existence of the Hong Kong Fox Pupil Group was indeed preserved by Ouyang Yun as a dagger, and now it is time for this dagger to be unsheathed - unlike other places, although the Hong Kong Fox Pupil Organization is still called a group, it has actually reached the scale of a "department", among which there is a "Foreign Affairs Group for Japan" that is specifically responsible for dealing with the Japanese. The leader of the "Foreign Affairs Group" is composed of all overseas Chinese, and its leader, Xu Xiaoshan, is a native of Hong Kong, and he is sitting on Gao Yang's right hand side at this time, and he is speaking: "We have found the residence of Toyoichi Nakamura, but it is difficult to infiltrate it. The Japanese were very well guarded, and we stared at it for three days, and Toyoichi Nakamura did not come out once. Every time the two sides meet, it is that Qiao Fusan who enters. Now it is impossible to infiltrate through infiltration, and the only way to do this is to eavesdropping. I have an idea that there is a gym of the Black Dragon Society in Japan, and we can go to the gym through the 'Foshan Wing Chun Gym' under the 'Canton Association', and then find an opportunity to install bugs. As long as the bugs are installed, we can invite newspapers and media in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States to listen through informants. ”

Gao Yang shook his head: "No, don't make a fuss for the time being." Our task is to get concrete information, and we don't need to do anything unprovoked. ”

Xu Xiaoshan said: "How can this be called unprovoked? Only then can we sabotage their peace talks. Gaotou, have you thought about the consequences in case they succeed in the peace talks? In that case, we will be alone! The Japanese had been reluctant to negotiate with the Nationalist Government before, so why are they so active now? Because they are afraid of us! They want to free up their hands and concentrate their efforts on attacking our student army! ”

Xu Xiaoshan's voice was very loud, which made Gao Yang a little dissatisfied, he glared at the former, and said: "These things are not something we should consider, the plan you just proposed is worth trying, but I don't approve of inviting foreign media." Didn't you understand the contents of the telegram from Kikoto thoroughly? He's asking us for evidence, not sabotage. If this incident is known to passers-by, it will be uncontrollable. Well, that's how to decide. Wu Liang, the 'Guangdong Guild Hall' will be handled by you, Xiaoshan, your foreign affairs team has been keeping a close eye on it recently, to see if it is possible to directly obtain these articles from the current resources, and if it is the worst case, you must also find out whether the Japanese have the sincerity of peace talks! ”

Gao Yang is a close confidant of Mu Jiandie, so he understands Mu Jiandie's orders very thoroughly. Mu Jiandie was different from Ouyang Yun, he was a complete opportunist. This time the peace talks between the Nationalist Government and the Japanese are certainly an opportunity for Lao Jiang to eliminate political enemies, but in Mu Jiandie's view, this is not an opportunity for Ouyang Yun to enter the Central Committee of the Nationalist Government? As long as he obtained conclusive evidence, he was fully confident that he would be able to persuade the young marshal to launch a military admonition, after all, the latter had already done it once in Xi'an, and he would definitely not mind coming again. And once the military admonition is successful this time, then Lao Jiang will definitely not be as lucky as last time. As long as Lao Jiang is taken away, then with the relationship between Ouyang Yun and the young marshal, they will join forces to enter the meeting of the Military Committee, and with the strength of the Xuebing Army and the Northeast Army, it will be decided to replace him.

This matter is contrary to Ouyang Yun's original intention of handling this matter, Mu Jiandie is not good to say it in the telegram, but with Gao Yang's political sense, he keenly feels it, so he will abandon Xu Xiaoshan's proposal and only collect evidence for the time being and not disclose it.

The limitations of their identities, Xu Xiaoshan and they would not have thought of so much. Gao Yang has absolute authority in Hong Kong, and although Xu Xiaoshan feels that it is a pity, he can only choose to obey. As for Wu Liang and the others, they were originally Gao Yang's henchmen, and everyone had no objections, and the action plan and purpose were unanimously approved. Immediately, everyone quietly left and began to prepare for the matter.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, in the No. 2 conference room of the headquarters of the Guangzhou Cadet Army, the military and political bigwigs of the Cadet Army headed by Ouyang Yun gathered together and held the first large-scale meeting since the "Sink It" operation.

Ouyang Yun was the last to enter the venue, and before that, everyone else had already arrived, and they were talking in twos and threes.

Ouyang Yun's somewhat abrupt order aroused everyone's suspicions, and they all smelled an unusual smell of war, some were worried about the early arrival of war and were uneasy, while others became particularly excited because they had a battle to fight. As for the heads of civil affairs departments such as Jiang Shuren, Fan Xudong, and Lao Bonn, they became worried because they were worried about the bad situation.

"Everyone, be silent! Rise! The Commander-in-Chief has arrived! As Chen Shichang vigorously shouted these words, the venue fell silent, and everyone looked at the inner door of the conference room with different faces, waiting for Ouyang Yun to enter.

Ouyang Yun walked in, he was wearing the same military uniform that went to Hainan, and it was still stained with dust. Someone who cares noticed that his face looked a little tired, and his beard was stubble, and it seemed that he hadn't shaved for several days, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

In everyone's impression, Ouyang Yun attaches great importance to personal appearance, and his appearance in this image at least shows one problem: something big has indeed happened!

The larger the scale of the student army, the stronger the combat power, and the aura on Ouyang Yun's body is getting bigger and bigger, even Li Tieshu and the others, who are very familiar with him, now feel that their little commander already has the "official authority" that a superior person should have. Ouyang Yun's change is a good thing in the eyes of many people - today's student army really needs such a person with a strong aura to be able to cover it. As the highest commander of the Cadet Army, his strength will make the middle and low-level officers below feel a sense of security and belonging as if they had taken a reassuring pill.

Ouyang Yun galloped all the way, and it was no more than half an hour before he returned to Guangzhou. He gave Pan Meiren and Chen Shichang an order to prepare for the meeting halfway, and after returning to the headquarters, he immediately asked Ji Xingwen to convene a meeting of all the participants, and rushed here after eating something hastily.

He walked to his place, inspected the crowd, and found that everyone had arrived, and immediately saluted the military salute. He said, "Sit down, everybody," and he took the lead in sitting down. Everyone sat down one after another, and at this time, Pan Meiren walked in quickly with a stack of documents and distributed a pile to Chen Shichang, and the two of them immediately distributed them to each participant.

It is said to be a document, but in fact it is a copy of a telegram. And this telegram was the one sent by Mu Jiandie to Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun glanced at everyone again and said, "Let's take a look." Then he opened the notebook in front of him and removed the pen cover.

After reading the contents of the telegram, everyone was stunned without exception.

Jiang Shuren said in a tone of disbelief: "There is such a thing? What is this? **Naked betrayal and betrayal! In this case, what should be done with those soldiers who are still fighting bloody battles on the front line? What about the souls of those who died in battle? What about the people in the occupied areas? What would they think about it? ”

Jiang Guangnai and Li Hansoul sat next to each other, the two of them glanced at each other, Jiang Guangnai looked at Ouyang Yun and asked, "Commander-in-chief, is this information credible?" ”

Ouyang Yun nodded and said: "There is no need to doubt the authenticity of this information, although our fox pupil is not as large and extensive as the military and central commands, but in terms of intelligence collection capabilities, it is not much worse than them." At present, the comrades of the Hong Kong branch of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have inquired about the candidates for both the Japanese and Chinese representatives. The chief representative of the Japanese side is Toyoichi Nakamura, the consul general in Hong Kong, and the Chinese side is Qiao Fusan, secretary to the President of the Executive Yuan, Kong Xiangxi. If I'm not bad, these two guys should be at the front, and once they've negotiated a rough framework for peace talks, there's a heavyweight underneath. ”

The participants were already speculating about the reason for Ouyang Yun's big move this time, but after reading this telegram, they understood the reason. However, because the stakes are so great, it is really incredible, although many people did not immediately question it like Jiang Guangnai, they all doubted in their hearts - did the one in Chongqing really dare to do such a thing at this moment? Doesn't he know the consequences of leaking this matter? Also, once the peace talks are reached, what will happen to the war that has been fought for more than half a year? Do you want to let the Japanese invade the territory and swallow your anger? These are all large-scale, and further down, once the Central Plains and the north do not fight, then what will the Japanese want to do with so many troops? All of you here are good people, and after careful analysis, you can think of the serious threat that this incident has brought to the student army. This made them more and more afraid to believe this matter easily, but at this time, after Ouyang Yun's affirmative answer, the luck mentality in their hearts no longer existed, and their faces became quite ugly, and many people even showed angry faces, looking like they were about to split.

Ouyang Yun saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, he suddenly slapped the table vigorously, and shouted in a deep voice: "Comrades, why don't you speak?" Are you afraid? ”

"Afraid, who is afraid!" Chu Tiange immediately stood up and shouted, "Isn't it possible to face the army of devils alone?" Ha Luha, the original intention of the establishment of our student army is to fight devils, and it is impossible to seize this kind of opportunity! Although our guerrillas and reserves are considered partial troops, they are not much worse than the regular army if they really want to pull them out! Hmph, if the Japanese dare to come, let them understand the pain of 'sinking' again! ”

Ouyang Yun convened this meeting, not so much to discuss countermeasures with everyone, but to check everyone's determination. You must know that Lu Dao, his previous series of orders have completely expressed his attitude, and the reason why he is still asking for everyone's opinions is just to improve and go through the motions. Of course, if someone is ready to go against the grain for the sake of his own interests or that of a small group, he is also prepared to deal with it with an iron fist, and it is imperative to completely unify the anti-Japanese determination of the whole army before the start of the war.

Chu Tiange, as Ouyang Yun's brother, is now the supreme commander of the guerrillas and reserves, and after several years of training, he is no longer the stunned young man he was at the beginning. Therefore, after reading Ouyang Yun's thoughts, he was the first to stand up and express his support without hesitation.

Everyone who is qualified to be here, Chu Tiange is the youngest, and he has all experienced Ouyang Yun's intentions, if others don't understand. Moreover, Ouyang Yun's move was completely righteous, so the others didn't have time to think about it and immediately made a choice-Li Tieshu and Ji Xingwen stood up after them, before they could express their determination, Ouyang Stern, Li Hansoul, Shan Renxiong and others had already stood up one after another, everyone looked at each other, and suddenly shouted in unison: "The Japanese really dare to come, then we will fight!" It hurts them completely! ”

Ouyang Yun asked, "What if the Central Army also comes?" ”

"Treat it the same!" Jiang Guangnai was the last to stand up, and his expression was also the most calm, he had never had a good impression of the old Jiang Ji's lineage, and said at this time: "Looking at the growth process of our apprentices, although we will not take the initiative to provoke a civil war, but we can't allow others to bully, they really dare to ignore the overall situation, regardless of the safety of the nation and the state to do this kind of thing that relatives hate enemies, then don't blame us for being ruthless!" Hmph, I can see through Lao Jiang's troops, except for a few of them, most of them are soft eggs who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard. Don't look at the large number of the Central Army, it's just a rabble! ”

Old Bonn's face has always been very unkind, and he said at this time: "I have grown so big, I have seen a lot of governments in the East and the West, but it is the first time I have seen such a shameless one. The Cadet Corps helped us when we Jews needed help the most, and now is the time for us to reciprocate, and we Jewish soldiers and civilians will always stand with the Cadet Corps. ”

Ouyang Yun's face did not move, but he quietly exhaled a breath in his heart.

The larger the size of the Cadet Army, the emergence of various interest groups, which made Ouyang Yun very worried that there would be a scene of catastrophe flying separately. The reason why he issued a series of orders without warning was actually a test of his control. As it turned out, he still had absolute control over the various units of the Cadet Army, and he was relieved that the senior generals were still tightly rally around him and had no intention of starting a new business.

He felt that if he really wanted to fight, he would already have a 30% chance of winning this battle.
