Chapter 246: Falkenhausen

Ouyang Yun shook his sleeves and left, and after the high-level officials of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce looked at each other for a while, they saw that Stern's face was gloomy and they were about to leave, so they hurriedly kept him. Little Bonn said: "General Stern, please stay!" ”

Old Bonn stepped forward and fell to Stern's side, and said softly: "Stern, the current situation in Canton is very unfavorable to us Jews. You are here with the Commander-in-Chief, what is the purpose of the Commander-in-Chief's visit? ”

Stern was in a bad mood. If nothing else, it is for the ignorance of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce. There is an essential difference between a soldier's view of problems and that of a politician and a businessman, and he knows that the Jewish Chamber of Commerce's intentions are nothing more than to hug thicker thighs or have enough power to decide fate. They are also considered to be thinking about the interests of the Jews, but they are too short-sighted, and the selfishness mixed in them is too heavy. Out of extreme insecurity, they always want to control some of the core interests of the cadet army, such as the economic lifeline, or mineral resources or military enterprises, so as to gain a certain right to speak. But they didn't want to think about it, with the wisdom of the commander-in-chief, how could it be possible to hand over these core departments that were related to the survival of the student army into the hands of "aliens"? That's right, in the mind of the commander-in-chief, what is it that the Jews who have separated from the military junta are not aliens? Regarding the purpose of Ouyang Yun's sudden visit to the Jewish Chamber of Commerce, Stern guessed a little, and the fundamental reason should be to give an explanation to the Jewish Chamber of Commerce for the visit of the German ghostwriting group. Originally, this was an opportunity for the two sides to bridge the estrangement and re-establish a close relationship, but unfortunately, after thinking about it, he looked at old Bonn and said: "President Bourne, I dare not speculate on what the commander-in-chief is here for, but don't you feel the goodwill of the commander-in-chief?" ”

"Goodwill? Stern, why do I only feel a strong murderous aura? ”

"Murderous? Where does this begin? President Bonn, I think we really need to sit down and have a good talk," Stern said earnestly.

Don't mention that Stern stayed in the Jewish Chamber of Commerce and talked with Old Bonn and others, only after Ouyang Yun left the Jewish Chamber of Commerce. "Commander-in-chief, those old fellows from the Jewish Chamber of Commerce are getting more and more disagreeable," Liu Kui said indignantly on the way back to the headquarters.

Ouyang Yun's expression had calmed down, and he said softly, "Businessmen have always been short-sighted, this is not surprising. But don't worry, after this incident, they will be more behaved. ”

"Be better?" Liu Kui blinked.

Ouyang Yun sneered: "Some people belong to walnuts, if you don't knock him, you will forget what your surname is." Don't go back to the General Headquarters, go to President Jiang, this time, I will bleed the Jewish Chamber of Commerce! ”

What did Ouyang Yun suddenly do when he went to Jiang Shuren? The reason is simple, he wants to increase the price of some of the Japanese islands in the pre-sale. The Japanese islands that the Scholar Army sold at a clear price this time include the four northern islands and more than a dozen small islands in the Ryukyu Islands close to the Japanese mainland. Ouyang Yun originally reached a tacit agreement with the Jewish Chamber of Commerce to fight for the four northern islands to be given to the Jews to establish a state, but now, he has changed his mind. Kunashir Island, the second largest of the four northern islands, has been bought by Shang Wolf, and Shikotan Island, the third largest, has also been taken into his pocket, so let's just leave the island and the Hamai Islands to his own people. Perhaps, in the future, it will not be bad to hand it over to the national garrison. As for you Jews who want to establish a state, you have no objection, the Five Islands or the Tsushima Islands, just these two places, you can choose any one or take both. Anyway, don't think about the burden of guarding the gateway for China.

When Ouyang Yun asked Jiang Shuren to reprice the unsettled Japanese archipelago, the German delegation Falkenhausen and his entourage had already arrived in Zhangzhou at this time.

Falkenhausen has deep feelings for China. As a traditional soldier, Falkenhausen once had a strong desire to lead the weak Chinese army to defeat Japan, a military power in the East. Unfortunately, history did not give him this opportunity, and he was recalled to China as soon as his plan to transform the Chinese army began. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Falkenhausen traveled to many places in China and went to the front line. Therefore, for the Chinese people and the Chinese army, as long as they see it, they will have a sincere sense of intimacy. After coming ashore from Shanghai, before reaching the area controlled by the Cadet Army, what he saw along the way was a scene even more decaying than when he left; The Japanese officers and soldiers who flaunted their might and were rampant in various places, which made him feel more and more curious about the student army at the same time. All of Falkenhausen's impressions of the Cadet Army are obtained from newspapers or intelligence from spies. Out of the habit of a soldier, he imagined the situation of the Cadet Army and its rule. In his opinion, even if the military industry of the Cadet Army has certain characteristics, it cannot be compared with an old industrial country like Germany. However, as soon as he entered the area controlled by the Cadet Army, especially after entering Cangnan County, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

Cangnan County has now become a defensive stronghold on the southeast front of the Cadet Army. Because of the continuous destruction, Cangnan County was devastated, but because of the great victory just now, and Ling Chi executed Gu Shoufu, the spirit of the Cangnan army and people was excellent, not only did not have a trace of decadence, but also showed a kind of vitality.

What surprised Falkenhausen and his men the most was the mental outlook and equipment of the cadet officers and men. After they entered Cangnan, Liu Yuqing and Pang Deya warmly received them on Jiang Guangnai's orders. Out of politeness, Liu Yuqing and Pang Deya asked them to inspect their troops. In addition to the 2nd Special Artillery Brigade of 10,000 soldiers, the 10th Xue Division, the 2nd Fujian Guard Division, and the guerrilla troops in the Cangnan area were all taken out, which gave the Germans a great visual shock -- all camouflage combat uniforms, unified assault rifles, submachine guns, self-propelled guns, tanks, tanks, armored vehicles in camouflage in the mountains and forests, and silver fighters soaring in the sky from time to time. This sent Falkenhausen and his men back to Germany in a tranceβ€”the farther west, the more shocked Falkenhausen and the others became. Since the past of Fuzhou, the affluence of the Fujian people has slowly emerged - one factory after another with chimneys, bustling streets, and patches of green fields...... When he encountered a group of children singing nursery rhymes to school on the road, Falkenhausen asked Ding Xueyi, political director of the Fourth Army of Xuexue, who was accompanying the delegation to Guangzhou, to stop the convoy temporarily and get out of the SUV. He walked up to the queue of students, smiled and asked in proficient Chinese, "Children, where are you going?" ”

"Go to school!" The child who led the team replied, and then looked at Falkenhausen and the others vigilantly, and saw the figure of Ding Xueyi and other students, and his expression was much more relaxed.

Falkenhausen noticed this detail, and he introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Falkenhausen, German, and I am your friend. ”

The child scratched his head: "Germany? I know that Germany, like Japan, is a bandit country. After speaking, the eyes that looked at Falkenhausen and the others became vigilant again.

This is too unexpected, because it comes from the mouth of an innocent child, and the lethality is even more amazing. Falkenhausen's mouth was wide open, and he was speechless for a moment. Ding Xueyi was amused when he saw this, stepped forward to relieve the siege, and said with a smile to the child: "Go to school quickly, don't be late." Then he said to Falkenhausen: "General, please don't mind. ”

Falkenhausen smiled bitterly: "He is telling the truth, and of course I won't mind." Then he didn't know what Lu Dao remembered, shook his head and said: "A child actually knows what happened in Europe, it seems that the people of Fujian are different from other places. ”

"General, I don't agree with you. They are all Chinese, but the attitude of the authorities is different," Ding Xueyi said.

Falkenhausen thought for a moment and smiled: "That's right. Hehe, I'm getting more and more curious about the young General Ouyang. ”
