The deeper the German delegation entered the control area of the Cadet Army, the more curious Falkenhausen became about Ouyang Yun. At the same time, after reading a large amount of information, Ouyang Yun's favorability towards Falkenhausen and the delegation led by him also skyrocketed. In the history of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there are some foreign friends who deserve to be remembered forever. Among these people, Falkenhausen is definitely at the forefront. Prior to this, although Ouyang Yun knew that Falkenhausen was the last head of the German military advisory group to aid China, and had contributed to China's anti-Japanese war cause, he did not know much about his deeds. As he learned more about what Falkenhausen had contributed to China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he was in awe of the old man in Germany and began to really attach importance to this visit.

On 28 April, Ouyang Yun led Ji Xingwen, Li Tieshu, Chu Tiange, Guo Kui, He Zhengchuan, Tie Linfei, Stern, and Chen Yuanyang, who was stranded in Guangzhou, and other high-ranking members of the Cadet Army, accompanied by Reedian and other personnel of the German Consulate in Guangzhou, to welcome the German delegation led by Falkenhausen into Guangzhou.

Receiving such courtesy from the Cadet Army, if it weren't for the fact that he had seen too many Cadet Soldiers-style miracles, Falkenhausen might not have thought so. And now, the old man was excited. Ouyang Yun welcomed the visit of the German delegation with an unprecedented high standard from the military junta, and even Rid'an was surprised and puzzled.

What exactly did this Eastern barbarian have in mind? Is acting for the Chongqing government and the Japanese? Reed thought like this in peace of mind, but he did not forget his duty on his face, and followed Ouyang Yun to greet him, he was about to come forward to introduce, but saw that Ouyang Yun had walked quickly to Falkenhausen, stretched out his hands and said: "General Falkenhausen, welcome to Guangzhou!" ”

Falkenhausen had already guessed the identity of the young Chinese general, and the excited old man was already ready to take the initiative to greet him, but he was still a step too slow.

Reedian took a step slower, sweat coming out of his forehead. He felt more and more that Ouyang Yun had a conspiracy, so he hurriedly stood between the two and said to Falkenhausen: "General Fankenhausen, this is General Ouyang Yun, the supreme commander of the Fujian-Guangdong-Qiong Special Administrative Region and the commander-in-chief of the Scholar Army. Commander-in-Chief Ouyang was so enthusiastic, he took the generals of the Cadet Army out of Guangzhou City for ten miles to greet him, General, have you met before? ”

"No, no, this is the first time I've seen the Commander-in-Chief," the old man was a little incoherent with excitement, apparently flattered by this courtesy. However, after all, he had seen a big scene, he quickly calmed down, shook Ouyang Yun's hand vigorously and said twice: "Before I came, I heard how young the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army is, but when I saw me, I was still stunned-Commander-in-chief, you are really too young and promising." Standing with you, I suddenly had a serious inferiority complex! ”

The Germans are calm and humorous, but Falkenhausen seems to be one of them. The old man looked at Ouyang Yun carefully, feeling the heartfelt enthusiasm and respect in the other party's eyes, he suddenly understood something, let go of his hand and continued: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, please allow me to introduce you to the other members of the delegation. Then he turned around and introduced his members to Ouyang Yun one by one.

"Welcome back to China!" "You can call this your second home!" "I've heard of you, Xie Lu, thank you for risking your life to go to the front line of our war of resistance." …… Ouyang Yun shook hands with the members of the delegation one by one, and to everyone's surprise, he seemed to be familiar with everyone in the delegation, and his welcome words were not hypocritical and polite, but all of them were targeted. This made Reed's uneasy feeling of peace of mind deeper and deeper, and he suddenly thought, "Could it be that the Eastern barbarians want to leave the delegation in Guangzhou?" That's not going to work. ”

Reid was secretly frightened, and Ji Xingwen and the others were also confused. The students had no objection to going out of the city to greet the German delegation, after all, these people had helped China and could be regarded as friends of the Chinese people. The Chinese have always known that Entu reported that it was a rare opportunity to repay Li Li. It's just that now it seems that the commander-in-chief's approach has gone too far?

Falkenhausen introduced the members of the delegation to Ouyang Yun one by one, and Lid'an introduced the people behind Ouyang Yun to Falkenhausen at the same time. Because Ouyang Yun deliberately showed twelve points of courtesy, Ji Xingwen and the others naturally had to follow suit, however, when it was Stern's turn, an embarrassing situation still appeared.

Stern had mentally convinced himself that he had to act like a soldier, but he couldn't control his emotions when he came to a member of the delegation named Benjamin. "I'm not going to shake hands with an executioner who kills my people," Stern said to Reedan, turning his head away from Benjamin.

Benjamin's outstretched hand froze there, and the atmosphere froze at the same time. Almost everyone was embarrassed, and some of the members of the delegation could not hide their anger. They glared at Stern with fierce eyes, and if it hadn't been for Falkenhausen stopping them with his eyes, someone would have fought back on the spot.

Ouyang Yun had thought that such a scene would occur, but he underestimated the seriousness of the matter. He frowned slightly, and then said: "Everyone, everyone is a soldier, so I think you should all understand the sacred meaning of the term soldier. Soldiers must obey the will of the state, which is determined by the duty of the soldiers. But I don't think it should involve anything like ethnic disputes, personal likes and dislikes, and so on. General Falkenhausen, what do you think? ”

Falkenhausen thought for a moment and calmly replied: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I agree with your point of view. War is a stage for military personnel, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, in order to show the sincerity of our visit, Your Excellency the Führer has asked me to bring you a gift and let me extend my most sincere greetings to you on his behalf. Major Benjamin, please go and bring me the gift of His Excellency the Führer. ”

Hitler's gift to Ouyang Yun was a brand-new MP38|40 submachine gun. This is the best individual weapon of the German infantry at present, and it is also a product that can best represent the level of the German military industry. The information collected by German intelligence about the Cadet Corps was not detailed, such as the Weiqing firearms. Of course, they may have done it deliberately to Hitler's liking.

Falkenhausen didn't want to show it at this time. After seeing the power of the Weiqing submachine gun, the "sincerity" that this gift can represent has been greatly reduced. Falkenhausen originally wanted to present this gift in a more private occasion, but now in order to ease the atmosphere of the scene, he can only present the treasure in public with a cheeky face.

Ouyang Yun took the MP38|40 from Benjamin's hand, skillfully opened the safety and pulled the bolt of the gun, then fired a shot into the sky, and smiled at Falkenhausen: "Please express my gratitude to Führer Hitler on my behalf." Very good submachine gun, I think I'll keep it as a private collection. Hehe, this will be the second MP38|40 in my collection. ”
