If the 29th Army wants to hold the place of Yicha, the importance of Tanggu Pass is self-evident - not to mention its commercial value, that is, from a strategic point of view, as the throat of the Haihe River, Tanggu, known as the "Gyeonggi Gateway", is absolutely not to be missed.

After the Second Opium War, the Qing government was forced by the pressure of the foreign powers to open up Tianjin as a treaty port, although it was a loss of power, but also made the development of Tianjin's shipping industry, and the construction of the Beiyang Navy Division Dagu dock in 1880 accelerated this development, and in 1888 the Jingshan Railway extended from Tanggu to Tianjin, which provided favorable conditions for the development of modern industry in Tianjin, and also made it possible for Tianjin to become an industrial powerhouse in northern China.

I have to mention two people here, one is the famous patriotic industrialist Fan Xudong, who opened the Jiuda Refined Salt Factory in Tanggu in 1914, and three years later built the first alkali factory in Asia - Yongli Alkali Factory, so that Tianjin gradually became a chemical base in northern China; The other person is the famous chemist, Dr. Hou Debang, who created the Hou's alkali making method - this person can be described as a pioneer of China's chemical industry, and it is under his leadership that the "Red Triangle" brand soda ash produced by Yongli Alkali Plant was once famous all over the world.

Ouyang Yun attached great importance to Tanggu on the one hand, on the one hand, because of its special geographical conditions, it was the only outlet that the 29th Army could use, and on the other hand, because of its special position in the field of China's chemical industry.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, Zhengse said: "I don't dare to guarantee that other countries can't make other things, but penicillin is within a year or two, and it should be difficult for them to master its technique." The importance of penicillin is self-evident, and we can characterize it as a 'strategic material', and then make a fuss about export quotas, so that they can take the initiative to cooperate with us in implementing military control at Tanggukou." ”

Export quota is a new term, but the meaning is very shallow, everyone will understand it as soon as they hear it, Song Zheyuan smiled and asked: "You mean to blackmail those foreigners with the number of exports?" ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Dengyu frowned and asked, "But what about the Japanese?" Do you sell it to them too? That's a tiger - I read penicillin's description, it's especially effective in treating injuries like infections, doesn't that mean we're healing our enemies and helping them recover?! ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Song Zheyuan and then at Ouyang Yun, wondering what they were going to do with it.

Song Zheyuan felt that this problem was very tricky, but he had communicated with Ouyang Yun before, and felt that it was not a bad thing to sell it to the Japanese, and felt that it was better to let him explain, so he kicked the ball to Ouyang Yun and said: "Ouyang is responsible for this matter, let's listen to his opinion." ”

After Ouyang Yun went back last night, he thought about this matter carefully, his thoughts were mature, and he said with a smile: "Japanese, if you sell it, you must sell it, if you don't make money, then we won't become fools." However, the goods given to them must be treated differently. ”

"Oh, you don't want to be shoddy, right?"

"This is a trade secret, bosses, please forgive me for not being able to say it."

Song Zheyuan said: "Ouyang, the Japanese are not fools, their level of science and technology is also quite high, if they see through it, it will be worth the loss!" ”

"Junza, I have my own measure, this time I go to the United States, I will find some experts to discuss this amount of issues specifically."

"Is Ouyang going to the United States?" Someone heard this and asked curiously.

Song Zheyuan said: "As I said, our Brigadier Ouyang is not simple, and the president of Harvard University in the United States invited him to give a lecture. ”

"Ahh Foreign universities invited him to give lectures? Everyone looked at Ouyang Yun's gaze and couldn't help but change again, one by one they no longer had the mind to peep at him, looking at his smooth face, they all had a bit of a look of study.

Ouyang Yun didn't want to be in the limelight, but he couldn't say that the reason why he could enjoy this treatment was because of the result of plagiarism, so he had to smile very modestly and explain: "The real purpose of my trip to the United States is to purchase some equipment. Our country's industrial base is too poor, and some important equipment can only rely on imports, which is also no way. ”

Everyone thought about it, and they couldn't help but sigh at the current situation of the country, and then looked at Ouyang Yun, just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it.

As with all kinds of meetings in modern society, there must be a big feast after the meeting. After the end of the military meeting of the 29th Army, Song Zheyuan waved his hand and opened four tables in the meeting room of the military department, the heads and brains sat at one table in a separate private room, and the subordinates of the chief officers, the staff officers and clerks of the military department sat outside at three tables, and Ouyang Yun participated in a banquet of the highest grade since the crossing.

In the old days, soldiers liked to drink, Song Zheyuan was older, although he began to pay attention to health and no longer had the same hobby for the things in the cup as he did when he was young, but the ability to mobilize his subordinates' enthusiasm for drinking was still there. Ouyang Yun, as a junior character, wanted to win the favor of all the generals present, so he naturally had to show some performance, if it wasn't for his mastery of some means to prevent drunkenness, it is estimated that he would have already laid down.

After the three jars of wine went down, he ran to the toilet twice and picked his throat twice, even so, he still drank high, dizzy, his feet were fluttering, he didn't have so many scruples about talking, and his voice began to get louder.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhi'an and the others couldn't help but smile slightly at the corners of their mouths, and then the former shouted loudly: "Xiao Lizi, the commanders in the army are all here today, why don't you kid come over to toast?" If you want to have a bright future in the future, you can get a lot of support from your superiors! ”

"Little Plum!?" In a trance, Ouyang Yun thought that he was drinking in the palace, otherwise why did even the eunuchs come out? When Zhang Zizhong's adjutant named Li Mangzhu ran over to toast everyone, he realized that this little plum was not his little plum, which was Zhang Zizhong's affectionate name for his adjutant, and he grinned at that time.

Ouyang Yun is the youngest and has the least qualifications, the toast at the wine table has always been based on seniority, Li Mangzhu is obviously a drinker, no matter how much the toast object drinks, he will kill the bowl in his hand, turn it around, and under Zhang Zizhong's introduction, he has already drunk six bowls in front of Ouyang Yun. Looking at Ouyang Yun, he raised the bowl in his hand that had just been filled with wine, and said: "Chief Ouyang, I have heard your name of 'Anti-Japanese Twin Heroes' for a long time, this bowl, first respect you for the country, and show my true colors as a Chinese man!" After speaking, he handed the bowl to his mouth and began to drink it violently, and soon the bottom of the bowl was reached, he lit up the bottom of the bowl and quietly looked at Ouyang Yun.

Ouyang Yun was originally a bold person, in the words of his comrades-in-arms in the special forces, he was super cool after drinking, he stood up and waved his hand, and said: "Thank you!" Then he picked up the bowl and poured it with a clatter, and then the empty bottom of the bowl was also revealed.

Li Mangzhu shouted hello, filled the bowls for the two people, raised his wine bowl and said, "This bowl is for me as the subordinate and the chief," and then without saying a word, he drank it again.

Ouyang Yun didn't expect that there would be a second bowl, the first bowl had already drunk a flame in his chest, and his throat was hot, thinking that this second bowl had to lie down directly, his face was sad, and said: "Everyone is brothers, you are older than me, it stands to reason that I have to call you big brother, Brother Li, the younger brother has limited alcohol, do you see if you can be accommodating?" ”

Before Li Mangzhu could speak, Zhang Zizhong laughed and said: "Ouyang, since you said that everyone is brothers, how can this eldest brother's wine be accommodating to respect the younger brother, otherwise how about this, this bowl of wine will be drunk by Xiao Li Zi on your behalf, but well, your cadet brigade is about to be expanded, and there must be insufficient manpower, do you want to promote your eldest brother and let him be a deputy brigade commander or something?" Saying that, he patted his chest, "Xiao Lizi is also a regiment commander under me, and I have allocated all the veterans of his regiment to your student brigade, how about it?" ”

Ouyang Yun didn't expect that there was such an article hidden behind this toast, and he didn't know how to do it for a while, so he said with a smile: "The student brigade is full of students, and there is no experience in fighting, if you can get the elite soldiers and strong generals under your old men, it is naturally something that you can't ask for - but my brigade commander is sealed by the military seat, and this kind of major event naturally requires the military seat to take the idea." ”

Zhang Zizhong immediately set his eyes on Song Zheyuan, and said with a smile: "Everyone is from the 29th Army, and Li Mangzhu has also grown up watching the military seat, so he will not have any opinions." ”

Song Zheyuan is not a fool, since Zhang Zizhong said that he wanted Li Mangzhu to be the deputy commander of the Cadet Brigade, he knew what idea he had in mind. As a new force, the independent brigade is so capable, and the brigade commander Ouyang Yun is so capable, if this force is close to him, then in the event of a war in the future, it is equivalent to an extra strong help. His brows furrowed slightly, and he was thinking about how to solve this thorny problem, Feng Zhi'an picked up the wine bowl and said to Zhang Zizhong: "Lao Zhang, the military seat also said at the meeting just now that Tianjin's defense is the most onerous, I don't think we should transfer manpower from your division," he turned to Song Zheyuan and said: "Military seat, our division guards Beiping, and the strength is more than enough, I think it is better to transfer Ji Xingwen and their regiment to the Cadet Brigade, Commander Ji has rich experience in leading troops and has fought hard battles, and he will definitely be able to complement Brigade Commander Ouyang by serving as deputy brigade commander, Build the Cadet Brigade into an iron army. ”

Feng Zhi'an and Zhang Zizhong were so eager to stuff their subordinates into the Cadet Brigade, so they naturally didn't have any good intentions. In their opinion, due to the existence of Li Tieshu's original 51st Army Guard Third Company, and Ouyang Yun was too young and an outsider, the team of nearly 10,000 people in the Independent Brigade was naturally better controlled by his own people.

Officialdom is a conspiracy field, and the veterans of the 29th Army here have all experienced the scene of warlords in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and they all know what their fate is - people and guns.

Song Zheyuan saw that Feng Zhi'an also made a move, and thought about it for a while, if Ouyang Yun really let him control the team of so many people in the Cadet Brigade, it would indeed be not very safe, and it should be a good thing to mix a little bit of his own people in it, so he played a trick and said: "The Cadet Brigade now has a total of more than 600 people, and it is necessary to transfer manpower from other troops, but since Ouyang is the brigade commander, let him take the idea." ”

Although Ouyang Yun drank a little high, fortunately, his mind was still sober, and when he heard Zhang Zizhong's words, he inevitably felt resentment in his heart, but when Feng Zhi'an reported Ji Xingwen's name, he remembered that this person who had fired the first shot of resistance against Japan at Lugou Bridge should be a man, and changed his mind in his heart, and said: "The military seat and the two division commanders love the cadet brigade so much, but they are disrespectful below, I think I will invite Regiment Commander Ji to come to our brigade, but I have already discussed the candidate for deputy brigade commander with the military seat, and Li Tieshu, the old man of the cadet brigade, will serve as the old man of the cadet brigade. Then ask Regiment Commander Ji to take the post of Chief of Staff, and at the same time be the head of a regiment, the military seat, do you think this is good? ”

Song Zheyuan thought that he knew Ouyang Yun, and he was once afraid that he would see through Zhang Zizhong and the others' Xiao Jiujiu, and use the strength of alcohol to play drunkard, and it would not end well, but when he said this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "You are the brigade commander, and you naturally have the final say in the affairs of the student brigade, well, this matter will be settled like this." ”

The position of chief of staff is higher than that of the deputy brigade commander, and besides, Ji Xingwen can also serve as the commander of a regiment, so Feng Zhi'an naturally has no opinion on this arrangement. It's just Zhang Zizhong, this idea was originally proposed by him first, but it was picked by Feng Zhi'an, and he was inevitably depressed. However, Ouyang Yun got Ji Xingwen, a fierce general, and he couldn't take care of it anymore, and in a good mood, he actually drank a lot of wine, and he drank Li Mangzhu's wine to himself, which caused Zhao Dengyu and others to exclaim again and again: The 29th Army has another wine general.

(There will be another chapter today, there is a lot of wine at noon, and it has not been changed until now, everyone Dahaihan :))
