Attitude towards Song Zheyuan. Not to mention that Xiao Zhikun and Guo Da, the two ordinary officers of the Cadet Division who had only met with them a few times, were suspicious, even Ouyang Yun, who had a lot of contacts with them, was now unaware of them.

Compared with the Central Army, and even Chen Jitang, Yan Xishan and other powerful forces, the rootless student division is like a small boat in the ocean, and there is a danger of repeating mistakes at any time. In order to maintain this increasingly delicate relationship, he not only gave the "Weiqing-style" automatic rifle and the "disease-free" multi-functional machine gun to the 38th Division for equipment, but also painstakingly set up a special line between Nanyuan and Renqiu. He thought that there was always a reward for paying, and he always thought that the 29th Army was worthy of being the "vanguard of resistance against Japan", and that he would definitely stand with the cadet division at a critical time, but now it seems that this is just his wishful thinking.

Just a week before Chen Guangming and others launched the military mutiny, the special line first failed, causing Ouyang Yun and Song Zheyuan to break off contact, and when the special line was repaired, news came from Nanyuan that Song Zheyuan went back to Shandong to repair the ancestral tomb, and now it is Feng Zhi'an who temporarily replaces him.

At the same time, news came from Nanjing that Feng Zhi'an, in the name of the acting commander of the 29th Army, submitted a petition to the Nationalist Government, claiming that he was unable to reconcile the contradictions between the cadet division and the North China Tun garrison, and asked the central government to send personnel to contact him.

One day later, Tada Jun, commander of the Huabeitun garrison, handed over a strongly-worded ultimatum to the Nationalist Government, saying that under the protection and connivance of Ouyang Yun and others, the Yunrenqiu Special Administrative Region Government had rampant anti-Japanese elements in its territory, which had seriously threatened the safety of the Japanese overseas Chinese in Renqiu, and in order to protect the lives and property of the overseas Chinese from being harmed, the Huabeitun garrison had decided to send troops to Renqiu, and if it encountered resistance, it would be regarded as an enemy of the Japanese Empire and would be resolutely eradicated!

On the day that Tada Jun issued this letter of protest, it coincided with the smooth return of the inspection group led by Jiang Shuren to Renqiu, and the entire Renqiu, both the officers and soldiers and the common people, were immersed in joy.

With Mu Jiandie's planning, the people of Renqiu have long heard that the delegation's trip to the United States not only introduced a lot of new techniques, but also absorbed a lot of investment, and there will be more factories and mines in Renqiu......

The common people are the most simple, and their desires are also the lowest. Although many of them did not understand the specific meaning of "investment" and "employment", they saw that the living standards of the families who were working in the factories had improved significantly, and they also thought that they would be able to do this one day.

Leaving the homeland for nearly three months, during which I experienced a few ups and downs, and now I can return safely, and find the smiling and tearful faces of my relatives in the crowd, whether it is Jiang Shuren, a scholar who has always been a temperament, or a businessman who has always been snobbish like a business wolf, everyone can't help but surge with passion in their hearts.

The United States and his party touched everyone, and the so-called "no one is more frightened than not knowing the way", and only when they see the prosperity and strength of other people can they realize their own poverty and backwardness. Thinking of the cars coming and going on the streets of the United States, and then looking at the smooth rickshaws on Renqiu Street, a force is sprouting in everyone's hearts - when will we become like the United States?!

Ouyang Yun returned to Renqiu from Hong Kong, and after he stabilized, he tried to take over most of the families of the delegation.

Jiang Shuren heard a familiar child's voice shouting "Daddy", his gaze swept over Ouyang Yun's face, and then, his rare big mouth grinned, happy.

His wife was standing behind the crowd with her five-year-old son Duoduo in her arms, waving her chubby little hands and shouting excitedly, "Daddy! ”

He nodded at Madame, smiled at Duoduo, his eyes fell on Ouyang Yun's young face again, and said, "Ouyang, thank you!" ”

Ouyang Yun smiled slightly.

On the way, Jiang Shuren had roughly figured out the current situation of the Cadet Division and the Renqiu government, and remembered the scene he saw when he entered the territory of Renqiu - every household was busy digging air-raid shelters, his smile slowly faded, and his brows furrowed. Jiang Shuren had already expected today's scene - he had been a staff member of Song Zheyuan for several years, Song's personality was clear, and the cooperation between Ouyang Yun and Song Zheyuan, what he was most worried about was that the latter would start from the "overall situation" and treat Ouyang Yun as an outcast.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the petitions and ultimatums issued by the 29th Army and the Huabeitun garrison one after another are absolutely not accidental, but are premeditated and communicated, and the two sides, which should have been the enemy, have already unified their positions on the matter of dealing with the cadet division.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Shuren felt that the mutiny launched by Chen Guangming and the others before was not so simple, and in a trance, he seemed to see several fishermen holding one end, covering a large net towards Ren Qiu, Ouyang Yun and more than 10,000 officers and soldiers behind him.

Ren Qiu military camp, the conference room of the division headquarters of the cadet division, Ouyang Yun, Li Tieshu, Zhang Zhen, Guo Biao, Mu Jiandie, Kang Dafu, Fan Xudong and Jiang Shuren sat around a table with a sand table, Ouyang Yun said apologetically to Fan Xudong and Jiang Shuren: "Mr. Fan, Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry, I was going to wash the dust for you, but the current situation facing Ren Qiu is so severe that I can only make up for it later." After speaking, he looked at Fan Xudong and said: "Mr. Fan, I'm really sorry, I invited you to Renqiu originally to ask you to give some guidance to Renqiu's economic construction, but now it has put you and your family in danger, thank you again for standing with us at this critical moment!" After saying this, he stood up and solemnly saluted Fan Xudong.

The day after the ultimatum was issued, Tada Jun issued another statement, saying that the Huabeitun garrison's advance into Renqiu was only aimed at the Renqiu government and the military division, and that as long as the businessmen and entrepreneurs who were doing business and investing in Renqiu withdrew before the war, they would not be held accountable for aiding and abetting the abuse.

On the day the statement was issued, some businessmen who had just arrived in Renqiu returned home one after another, while some who had already invested became anxious and began to look for buyers, hoping to sell the factory to leave the land of right and wrong.

In response to this situation, Ouyang Yun, Jiang Shuren and others immediately discussed corresponding countermeasures, first announcing the position of the Renqiu government, allowing other enterprises to enter and exit freely except for official joint ventures, and giving preferential tax rates to private enterprises if they were damaged in the war.

Fan Xudong participated in the delegation as an economic adviser to Renqiu Special Economic Zone, because he has not yet invested in Renqiu, and if he leaves at this time, not only will there be no material loss, but no one can say anything from a moral point of view. However, in the face of the threat of the Japanese, he not only did not retreat but bravely took possession, and found Ouyang Yun the day after Tada Jun issued a statement, proposing to set up a joint venture with the Renqiu government to set up a television factory, and said that the site of the factory had been selected, so it was chosen in Tucheng, north of Renqiu City, facing the direction of Tianjin. As a well-known industrialist in Pingjin, Fan Xudong can be said to play the role of a weather vane with every word and action. He made such a decision at this time, which was the greatest support for the Renqiu government and the junior soldiers, so Ouyang Yun would make the above expression.

Fan Xudong has always been engaged in chemical industry before, and the reason why he wants to start a TV factory in a completely new field at this time can be said to be completely based on the overall situation, and what he wants to do is to develop the country's weak projects with his own efforts, so that the country's scientific and technological level will not be pulled too much by European and American countries. Seeing Ouyang Yun being so cautious, he was a little embarrassed, stood up and shook his hand and said: "Chief Ouyang is too polite, Xudong is not a soldier, and he can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but I still understand the truth that 'the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband', I just do what I should do." ”

Jiang Shuren looked at this scene with satisfaction, feeling that compared to when he went to the United States, Ouyang Yun had grown a lot, and this was undoubtedly exactly what the young Renqiu government and the junior soldier needed. He smiled and said, "Okay, you two don't give in to these modest courtesies anymore, it's better to analyze the current situation and make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Today's meeting was presided over by Ji Xingwen, he waited for Ouyang Yun and Fan Xudong to sit down, stood up and said, "Everyone, then let's get into today's topic!" Everyone must know very well that the Japanese are sharpening their knives near Wen'an, and there must be a battle between our military division and them. The Japanese claim to be a division, but in fact, in terms of overall strength, since we do not have an air force, the real strength of the Japanese, who have air superiority, is far from being as simple as it seems. The core content of our meeting was not how to defeat the Japanese attack, but how to continue to develop in the face of continuous Japanese harassment. ”

Hearing Ji Xingwen say so surely, Fan Xudong smiled and said: "Listen to Chief of Staff Ji, you have confidence in winning this battle!" ”

Ji Xingwen nodded, his tone a little heavy: "Confidence is a must, because we have no way out at all!" ”

"There is no way back!" These words named the current real situation of the cadet soldier, and everyone couldn't help but turn pale when they heard it.

Ouyang Yun saw that everyone's faces became too solemn for a while, and he said: "It is beyond my expectations that Ren Qiu and the Cadet Division can have today's situation, I will not hide it from you, my original ambition is not to become a 'warlord'-" Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly, "Now many people in the country regard me as a warlord, this is really elevating me, my original plan was just to build the 29th Army into a real 'anti-Japanese vanguard' under the leadership of Commander Song, but it is okay to make people worse, The 29th Army is not a monolith, rather than waiting to see it slowly being eaten away and divided, it is better to make a decision with it as soon as possible, I only hope that there are still people in the 29th Army who attach importance to the honor of 'anti-Japanese pioneer'! Jiandie, you are in charge of intelligence work, let's talk about our current real situation, everyone here can sit together, it is already a person in the same boat, everyone has reason to know their real situation! ”
