Chapter 2: War and Politics? quiet
"Love clouds. Great work! In front of everyone's eyes, Ouyang Yun took the lead towards Gu Lianyun. He looked at her, at her delicate face, and there was a hint of tenderness on his face.
The hardships of a woman going overseas to develop, especially in the United States, where there is still a Qihua mood, may only be understood by a person like him who knows history well. Gu Lianyun's work in the United States is very well done, so it can be seen that she has put a lot of thought into it, and because of this, he sincerely feels guilty about her.
Gu Lianyun smiled at him, then half-turned around and looked at the deputies behind him, first saying in English to John, the head of the delegation: "Mr. John, this is Commander Ouyang Yun, the supreme commander of our student army," and then said to Ouyang Yun in Chinese: "Military seat, this is the head of this delegation, John. Ford, who is also a vice president and vice president of Ford Company. β
"Mr. John, welcome to Renqiu!" Ouyang Yun stretched out his hand towards John and said enthusiastically.
The latter hurriedly stretched out his hand as well, the hands of the two men clasped together, and John said, "General Ouyang, you are the youngest general I have ever met. I think the term young and promising is set for you. β
"Mr. John has won the award," Ouyang Yun said with a smile, and then under Gu Lianyun's introduction, he shook hands with everyone in the delegation one by one. When he came to several representatives of overseas Chinese, he opened his hands and said to them with emotion: "Welcome back to the motherland." β
When he hugged one of the elders, Gu Mingzhi, president of the San Francisco Chinese Association, he remembered the things that the other party had done for Ren Qiu and the Cadet Army, and he said sincerely: "Mr. Gu, thank you for your concern and care for the motherland, thank you for the young men you sent back, they are all very good, and they will become the pride of you and the Chinese people in the United States." β
Gu Mingzhi was also very excited, not for anything else, just because there were such strong figures and forces in his homeland. The role played by the Cadet Army in the Wen'an and Tianjin victories is no longer news in the United States because of media hype. As an overseas Chinese of the older generation, how could he not be excited by hearing too much news of the defeat of the Chinese army in the face of the Japanese. "Commander Ouyang, this is what we should do, no matter where we are, we are the descendants of Yan and Huang after all, aren't we? We have the blood of our homeland in our bodies. Those little guys, they didn't bother you. β
After Ouyang Yun, Jiang Shuren, Fan Xudong and others also greeted all the members of the delegation one by one, and after that, the two groups of people took a group photo together, and held the first meeting in that inn.
After a brief meeting, Ouyang Yun hosted a banquet for all the members of the delegation, and then took a short rest before heading straight to the barracks. There, the first military parade since the formation of the Cadet Army will be held.
Just yesterday after the decision was made, the General Staff of the Cadet Corps began to take action, and now, at the southern end of the playground of the old camp of the Cadet Corps, a viewing platform has been erected, and all the units participating in the parade have also moved into the old camp and carried out a run-in. Now, they are quietly waiting in the area left behind, waiting for that moment to come.
The start time of the military parade was set at half past one, and it was 1:20 when Ouyang Yun and his party walked up to the viewing platform, and the audience area was already crowded with the people of Renqiu and the representatives of all parties who were invited. Ouyang Yun's purpose in holding this military parade was to show his strength and inspire, so not only the public was able to participate with community certificates, but also advanced elements and representatives from all walks of life were invited to participate. At the same time, in order to create a certain deterrent effect on the enemy, under the arrangement of Mu Jiandie, a lot of Jin Bihui's people were also mixed in (now, it is difficult for the Japanese to infiltrate Renqiu - after several months of construction, the functions of anti-infiltration and counter-espionage have been perfected, which makes the Japanese spy department suffer a lot).
"Dear General Ouyang, listen to Miss Gu, you designed this dress?" After the delegation went to the viewing platform, they have been inconspicuous in the delegation, but in fact they are heavyweights, and the military representative Ge Laiming. Lieutenant Colonel Buden walked up to Ouyang Yun and asked softly.
Pan Meiren translated as soon as possible, and Gu Lianyun took a step behind, and after smiling lightly, she closed her slightly open mouth.
As soon as Ge Lai Ming entered the old camp, his eyes were attracted by the camouflage uniforms on the soldiers of the Cadet Army. Ouyang Yun had already noticed this. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said, "Yes, what does Mr. Lieutenant Colonel think?" β
Ge Laiming's gaze returned to the soldier closest to him, looked at it seriously, looked back at Ouyang Yun and said, "General, I have to admit that this costume is really suitable as a combat uniform. General, can be a genius. I heard that your army's off-road vehicles and anti-aircraft tanks also have your efforts? β
Ouyang Yun was also not modest, and replied frankly: "Yes." Personally, I believe that the outcome of modern warfare is not only determined by the number of troops, but also by speed in some cases. Of course, there is a premise for this, and that is that other equipment must also keep up. Compared with your country, our country's foundation is too thin, take the aircraft as an example, although through hard work, we have been able to manufacture, but it is not large-scale, and we cannot find a manufacturer of supporting parts. Therefore, such a half-finished weapon as an anti-aircraft tank had to be introduced. Personally, I am reluctant to produce any anti-aircraft tanks, if possible. Spear and shield fight, no matter how strong the shield is, it always belongs to the passive side. β
Ge Lai Ming nodded, thoughtful. After a while, he whispered, "Perhaps, our two armies can carry out some cooperation." General, your military talent is greatly appreciated by many generals in our country, and they also appreciate the ability of your army to innovate. It is true that your country's foundation is very thin, but I personally believe that this should not be an obstacle to your development of advanced weapons. β
Regarding Ge Laiming's intention and what kind of price he can offer, Ouyang Yun has long had a reverie. At that time, he hated the United States as a country, but here, he had to admit the fact that if he really wanted to change China's fate in World War II, it was impossible not to find a strong country to cooperate and die. For a variety of reasons, the United States is undoubtedly the most suitable.
After listening to Pan Meiren's translation, he pretended to ask casually: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, is this your personal opinion?" β
"No, no, no, that's what we always meanβno, our chief!" Ge Lai Ming didn't know what Lu Dao's purpose was, and he didn't tell the truth, but fortunately, Ouyang Yun could understand English, so he didn't miss the secrets leaked in his words. Therefore, after listening to Pan Meiren's translation, he couldn't help but show a smile, and he really had a reason to be happy.
If Ge Lai Ming really got the signal of the President of the United States before he came, it would really be the best news for the Cadet Army at the moment. Cooperation with the United States is an idea that Ouyang Yun has always had.
