Chapter 249: Spoiling the situation
The U.S. government initially took two attitudes toward the two aggressor countries, Germany and Japan. The natural blood relationship between the United States and Britain determined that the United States could not sit idly by and watch Germany invade Britain. Although US President Franklin D. Roosevelt called for measures to be taken against Japan to force it to withdraw its troops from China and stop its military expansion, the US Senate and the House of Representatives have always adhered to the "Neutrality Act" and used this as an excuse to allow the Japanese army to invade China. The big discussion about Ling Chi is just an introduction, and the key to why the US Congress suddenly discussed the imposition of an embargo on Japan is the connection between the following two things. The first is that Germany has made a gesture to invade France, while Britain and France have formed a military alliance; Second, Germany suddenly sent a delegation to Japan, and Germany and Japan were already showing signs of forming a military alliance.
The United States will impose an embargo on Japan, which seems to have nothing to do with the Jews, but Germany and Japan may therefore speed up their alliance with the Jews. The Jews multiplied in Fujian, Guangdong, and Qiong, and it was impossible to relocate again. Moreover, the Chongqing government is called the central government, but the situation is not as good as that of the student army. For example, the biggest dilemma facing the Chongqing government is the food problem. In this case, if the Cadet Army were defeated by the Japanese, it would be a nightmare for the Jews.
Ouyang Yun's purchase and sale of Japanese islands not only found it ridiculous by the Jews, but also Shang Wolf and others felt that the commander-in-chief was both a leader and a chastity monument, which was a standard warlord style. Shang Wolf agreed to Ouyang Yun's request very happily on the surface, and bought Guohou Island the next day, and secretly used this matter to teach his daughter, he said to Shang Lian'er: Buying and selling islands is just an excuse, the key lies in our position. Daughter, you remember this, no matter what happens in the future, we all belong to the younger chief's lineage, so even if his decision is wrong, we can only look ahead. But fortunately, the little chief is not a ruthless person, and our efforts today will be rewarded in the future......
Although the merchant wolf was born in a reckless manner, the price of eyesight was much higher than that of old Bonn. Old Bonn reacted a little slower, and when he reacted, he sent Little Bonn to buy the island, but was told by Jiang Shuren that all the four northern islands had been sold. Little Bonn was stupid at the time. He went back to report the matter to old Bonn, and after careful analysis by the heads of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce, it immediately became clear that the Cadets were ready to kick them out of the gameβthe island was still in vain, but the trade was real, and if you weren't even qualified to enter the market, it was self-evident what it meant. "Aren't there other islands? No matter how much money it is, pick up the big ones and buy a few more," Bonn Sr. learned from the pain and gritted his teeth and made a decision. As a result, Little Bonn went to Jiang Shuren for the second time and bought six Japanese islands, including the Goto Islands and the Tsushima Islands, in one go.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Yun was accompanying Falkenhausen and others to visit the training of the Wolf Tooth Special Brigade organized by Guo Kui in the old military camp in Guangzhou. β
Ouyang Yun said hello to Falkenhausen and the others, and walked out of the crowd with her, while laughing: "Isn't there nothing to do if you have been like this for a long time?" The Jews are walnut. What about You Xiaolian? How's the job done with her? β
"People are in control."
"Send it to the Jewish Chamber of Commerce, and ask her to bring two invitations to old Bonn, and say that I will hold a banquet for the German military delegation in the evening, and invite their father and son to the banquet."
"I know."
Returning to Falkenhausen, Ouyang Yun was much more refreshed.
Falkenhausen and his entourage of German officers came all the way from Cangnan, and although they were not lightly surprised by what they saw along the way, they were only shocked. However, after watching the training of the wolf fangs, the eyes of them, including Falkenhausen, when they looked at Ouyang Yun and the other generals of the Cadet Army, completely changed. As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one - as an old army power, German soldiers had their own pride. The Japanese, who claimed to be the second largest in the army, believed that they were only inferior to the Germans. The Germans were not as arrogant and ignorant as the Japanese, so they never openly admitted that they were the number one army power, but they also never denied the international evaluation of their own army. The realm of origin is high, and the vision is naturally high. Coming from Cangnan, the reason why I was surprised was because of the armament of the student army and the morale of the soldiers and civilians. And now, when I found that the training methods of the wolf's teeth were so advanced and practical, I couldn't help but make a comparison in my heart, and realized that this had surpassed the level of the German army, which was not surprised but shocked - is this still the Chinese army? When did the Chinese army reach such a level? If, if the Germans were to engage such an adversary, what were the odds of victory?
"Commander-in-Chief, I was so shocked. I have seen the training and methods of the Japanese army, and to be honest, it is outdated compared to your army, no wonder your army was able to achieve such a great victory at the beginning of the year. If the Chinese army is like this, then it is only a matter of time before Japan is defeated," Falkenhausen said to Ouyang Yun sincerely, without hesitating his praise words.
Ouyang Yun smiled: "The general has won the award, the wolf tooth is the most elite unit of our army, and the establishment is only one regiment." After all, our Cadet Army is only a local government, and we are not able to feed too many troops. Our ordinary troops are still too immature compared to the Japanese army, and they still need time to temper. β
Many of the means and methods of training of the wolf's teeth were not available to the German army. This aroused the strong interest of the members of the delegation, some of whom proposed to the accompanying general of the Cadet Army to experience the battle, and some of them were interested in trying their marksmanship with the wolf fangs. Watching his subordinates change into the training uniforms of the school soldiers and the wolf fangs rolling together, Falkenhausen said with great feeling: "When I first came to your country, I once made a great wish to train at least fifty German mechanics for your country, but unfortunately-" Shaking his head and sighing, he looked at Ouyang Yun and said: "Commander-in-chief, forgive me for taking the liberty of doing so, why didn't you go to Chongqing for development?" The current national army is in need of talents like you. The war between China and Japan was a confrontation between countries and countries. Japan's military-industrial and economic strength is stronger than that of your country, and your country should devote all its strength to confronting it. Commander-in-chief, I heard that you are not on good terms with the Chongqing government, is there any misunderstanding? I have a good personal relationship with Chairman Chiang, and I can help you mediate if necessary. β
Falkenhausen really thinks about China, which is why he says this kind of thing. The reason why Ouyang Yun received him with such a high standard was precisely because of his selflessness in this regard. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "General, thank you for your kindness. However, this kind of political level matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Let's not talk about this, general, after all, our student army is a new armed force, and there are deficiencies in many aspects. You are an old man in the German Army, and the strength of the German Army has been recognized by the world. We also hope that you will give us valuable suggestions for improvement......"
"David" is not the name of a single person, but an armed group affiliated with the Jewish Chamber of Commerce. "David" was established by the Zionist Organization with the help of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose of self-evident, precisely to protect the local Jews. It had been nearly a year since the establishment of "David", and because its members behaved fairly decently, Ouyang Yun had always tolerated their existence and did not take measures. However, because Benjamin, who caused the Koshalin tragedy, had come to Guangdong with a German military delegation, he could no longer sit idly by.
Benjamin naturally deserves to die, but he must not die in the territory of the Cadet Army. Old Bonn asked Leif and the others to find "David" because he was afraid that they would cause trouble. However, he obviously underestimated the ability to control the Cadet Army. Leif hadn't come back yet, and You Xiaolian took a platoon of female soldiers to send a dozen "Davids" back to the Jewish Chamber of Commerce. More than a dozen burly men, with red faces, were escorted down by more than 30 female soldiers in two caravans, two of which were carried down, which surprised the heads of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel apprehensive, not knowing what this meant.
You Xiaolian got out of the car last, she walked straight to old Bonn, handed him two invitations, and said, "President Bonn, this is what the commander-in-chief asked me to hand over to you." He said that a welcome banquet would be held for the German military delegation in the evening, and that you and Mr. Bonn Jr. were invited to attend. By the way, the commander-in-chief also let me tell you that in Fujian Yueqiong, as long as they are not enemies of the Cadet Army, anyone will be protected by the Cadet Army - not an example! β
You Xiaolian was in a hurry, leaving "David" and two invitations to leave. Seeing their vehicles leave, the Jewish Chamber of Commerce and the others looked at the red-faced "Davids", their faces were tense, and the eyes of many people flashed with irrepressible anger.
Ouyang Yun's high-profile reception of the German military delegation in Guangzhou not only stung the Jews, but also made the Japanese and some Chinese in Chongqing sleepless. During that period of time, the scolding of "Niang Xipi" in a certain apartment in Chongqing continued, and the generals of the national army who entered and exited it were silent one by one, and even the entire Chongqing political arena was covered with a layer of gray.
Germany sent two delegations at the same time, one to Tokyo and the other to Guangzhou, which completely disturbed the situation in Asia. The effect of this was first the formation of a German-Japanese-Italian military alliance, and secondly, a dialogue between the Chongqing government and the military government.
A few days after Jiang was in the "Niang Xipi" camp, at the suggestion of several think tanks, he sent heavyweights to Guangdong in the name of "reward", hoping to invite a German military delegation to Chongqing. Ouyang Yun generously let him go, and in order to show his grandeur and prudence, he sent three divisions of cadets to escort Falkenhausen and his party into the Guotong area. Thus, there was a trip to the west of Falkenhausen and his entourage.
Falkenhausen helped the Cadet Army to complete the adjustment of the strength of the five main divisions in disguise, and Ouyang Yun reciprocated and reached a military cooperation agreement with him, stipulating that the two sides would share technical innovations in certain aspects, and at the same time send Lu Zhibai to lead a team of wolf teeth to Germany for exchanges.
The German military delegation left Guangdong in early July to return to Germany, and after leaving Cangnan on the front foot, the Japanese launched a new offensive in the Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi areas on the back foot. At the same time, Japan's military counterattack in Taiwan began.
