Chapter 4 Nanjing (5)
When Ouyang Yun set foot on the land of Guangzhou. What he didn't expect was that although he connived at his subordinates to kill a group of flies in Xuzhou, the followers behind him did not decrease at all, but had a tendency to gather more and more.
The "Weiqing Automatic Rifle" and the "Sick Multi-Function Machine Gun", one plagiarized from the G3 and the other plagiarized from the MC43, both of which were sensational boutiques at the beginning of their birth. The sudden appearance of these two products, which did not belong to this era, will inevitably attract the attention of the military powers around the world.
Tianjin used to be the so-called Universal Concession, and no matter how well Ouyang Yun did his protection work in Renqiu, from the day they were sent to the 38th Division, they were already doomed to be discovered by the world sooner or later.
The United States was the first country to know about this secret, because of the good personal relationship between Hua Zhi and Ouyang Yun, and the frequent cooperation between businessmen in the two places, its intelligence officers easily obtained the top-secret information they needed. When a report more detailed than Dai Li's delivery to Lao Jiang arrived at President Roosevelt's desk in the White House, the wise old man couldn't help but take a keen interest in Ouyang Yun and the cadet division he had created. As a result, the "U.S. Consulate in North China," which was originally regarded as a chicken rib department, suddenly became important, and Consul General Huaji also changed from an unknown diplomatic envoy to a key figure of inquiry in the White House.
After his status and power rose, Consul General Huazhi did not live up to the trust of the president and the Congress, and began to use his good personal relationship with Ouyang Yun to start frequent visits to Renqiu, and later simply relied on Renqiu and did not leave. A group of elite spies affiliated with the Strategic Services Bureau of the US intelligence organization also came to China and began to operate frequently in Renqiu as consular staff......
After the United States, the spy personnel of the Soviet Union, Britain, France and other Western powers also appeared one after another, and their mission was not only limited to obtaining top-secret data on relevant ordnance, but also began to care about the development of Ren Qiu and the cadet division. Clearly, the politicians in power in these countries are beginning to look at the Cadet from a different perspective, perhaps wondering how far the Cadet can go in a warlord-dominated place like China, and whether he is likely to have a positive impact on their global interests.
Compared with other Western powers, the attitude of the German government is rather playful. Perhaps under the influence of Nazism, the Germans believed that the Germans were the best people in the world, and naturally, the Germans made the best things in the world, so although the German spies obtained information about this from the spy systems of Western countries, their heads did not take it seriously. If it weren't for General Falkenhausen sending back a crucial drawing in time, these arrogant fellows would never know how many years later, their juniors would have been able to develop such sophisticated and advanced weapons.
Unlike Germany, Japan was arguably the first country to learn about this secret, but no one took it seriously because Dohihara, who presided over the matter, was bent on unearthing the secrets of Renqiuka's oil, and Japan's small cabinet and the military were arguing over the distribution of power. However, a small number of ordnance research fanatics began to study day and night after obtaining the infrared-sighted pistol that Ouyang Yun had left in Hong Kong (hint: Ouyang Yun's gun was obtained by Matsui Kutaro in Hong Kong, see Volume 2, Chapter 20). Because at present, the political clowns in Japan still fantasize about solving North China through a bloodless battle with a high degree of autonomy, and Nanjiro is disturbed by the attacks of the "Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance" and has no time to take care of it, so although Dohihara has put forward more than once a proposal to solve the most unstable factor in North China, the student division, as soon as possible, he has not received any support. In desperation, he had no choice but to use the influence he had accumulated in the past to let Kutaro Matsui, who is currently the head of the Beiping secret service, send someone to keep an eye on Ouyang Yun and "grasp the latest developments of the student division at all costs." Matsui also lived up to his trust, and was stunned to find a gap in the impenetrable defense of the cadet soldiers, not only mastered the information of Ouyang Yun's envoy to Nanjing, but also found out that Ouyang Yun turned halfway through Xuzhou and quietly followed him to Guangzhou.
At the Guangzhou Railway Station, Zhang Da and several Cantonese generals stood at the exit and waited quietly, behind them were several brand-new cars, and behind the sedans were a company-sized Cantonese soldiers. The two soldiers at the front of the queue each held a flagpole with a banner tied to it, on which a line of large characters was written in official script: "Warmly welcome General Ouyang Yun, commander of the Cadet Division of the Anti-Japanese Heroic Unit and director of the Qiu Autonomous Government, to lead a delegation to visit Guangdong." To the left of the queue is a military band of about twenty. On the right side of the queue are hundreds of delegates, led by a pair of young men and girls, dressed in brand new clothes and holding a bouquet of flowers in their hands.
"The commander is too fussful, can the commander of a mere cadet division put on such a big battle?" Behind Zhang Da, Miao Peinan, who was the instructor at the time, whispered softly and sniffled disapprehantly.
Zhang Da listened to the complaints of his companions, and said with a slight smile: "Peinan, it seems that you haven't understood the deep meaning of the commander-in-chief?" ”
"What's the meaning? It's just a little nouveau riche who doesn't know where the road came from. Hmph, the commander-in-chief must have made such a strange move today, it must be Chen Weizhou's idea again!" Chen Weizhou is Chen Jitang's brother, it is said that he knows the art of astrology, and in the rise of Chen Jitang, he did make a lot of efforts, influenced by it, Chen Jitang is more superstitious, and believes in astrology, fortune-telling and the like, which is also the main reason why Huang Banxian can get close to him and be relied on as a staff member.
"Otherwise," Zhang Da looked at the passengers who avoided his pedestrian, estimating that Ouyang Yun and his party were still behind, and he whispered to Miao Peinan: "This is Mr. Hu's idea." Ouyang Yun went to Nanjing before coming to Guangzhou, where he was received and rewarded by Lao Jiang, who is said to have awarded a large number of medals to the cadet soldiers. However, I don't know if it was because they were afraid of angering the Japanese, so they didn't dare to make a big show. Peinan, you should have heard of the Battle of Wen'an, right? ”
"Isn't it just two wins, what's the big deal?"
Zhang Da glanced at him seriously, obviously disagreeing with his point of view, and said: "What's the matter is two victories, their opponent is the Japanese Kwantung Army!" ”
Miao Peinan didn't know much about this, and didn't say anything when he heard it.
Zhang Da continued: "Nanjing really made a mistake this time, don't they know the voice of the people? The heroes of the anti-Japanese war were treated so coldly, hehe, the commander-in-chief is much smarter than Lao Jiang in this regard, our Guangdong army welcomes the anti-Japanese heroes so politely, and in the eyes of the world, what will they think? Of course, there's another reason for that. According to the Office of the Cadet Division, Ouyang Yun's trip to Guangzhou was a confidential trip. Hehe, have you ever thought about it, since he wants to cooperate with us, why should he be so mysterious? ”
Miao Peinan was not a fool, and immediately gave an answer: "He doesn't want Nanjing to know the truth." Could it be that what agreement did he reach with Nanjing? ”
Nodding with a smile, Zhang Da said: "This young man is very cunning, he actually wants to please both ends, hum, we don't want him to get his wish." ”
Although he figured out the reason, Miao Peinan still didn't think so, he said: "Is there this necessary? In the land of Renqiu, there are at most 10,000 soldiers. Hebei and Chahar are the territory of the 29th Army......"
Shaking his head, Zhang Da looked at him suspiciously and said, "Peinan, haven't you heard?" Feng Zhi'an and Liu Ruming have been forced into exile, and now Chahar has become the territory of the cadet division. ”
"How is it possible, the Northwest Army is not easy to get along with, can Song Zheyuan endure this breath?"
Seeing that he really didn't know about this, Zhang Da was about to talk to him in detail, but he was pulled by another Cantonese officer behind him, who whispered: "Zhang Junzuo, look, that person seems to be Ouyang Yun." ”
Ouyang Yun had been in the newspaper because of the name of "Anti-Japanese Heroes", and Zhang Da and others were familiar with his appearance from the newspaper before they came, so as soon as Ouyang Yun and others walked into their field of vision, someone immediately recognized him.
Zhang Da looked intently and saw that the eight people who came over were the first one, and it was really quite similar to Ouyang Yun described in the newspaper, and he said to the person who spoke just now: "Ren Huan, you go up and confirm." ”
Huang Renhuan replied and stepped forward. After meeting with the group, he said something to them, and after a while, turned around and nodded.
Zhang Da nodded, waved his hand at the military band behind him, and immediately, the drums behind him rang out, and those people also started to follow them in an orderly manner. Zhang Da and the other people on the right followed, straightened their clothes, and strode forward to meet them.
"What a young man!" Following Zhang Da to meet him, Miao Peinan sighed with emotion.
When he stepped into this square, Ouyang Yun felt that something was wrong. When Bai Tassel and the others saw the column of Cantonese soldiers with loaded guns, they put their hands in their pockets or waists one by one, and they were engrossed in guarding. Liu Zheliang and Bai Tassel subconsciously sandwiched Ouyang Yun in the middle, and then exchanged opinions softly: "What happened?" Is it directed at us? "What about Liu Chengyu and them? Why don't you give a warning in advance? "Master, I think we'd better go back first, right?" ……
Liu Chengyu is the person in charge of the Guangzhou office of the Cadet Division, according to the previous agreement, they should come to the station to pick them up, but now it seems that they have an accident, which makes Bai Tassel and others even more worried.
The scene outside the square was too weird, where would they have thought that Chen Jitang had discharged such a big battle, in fact, he was specifically welcoming them.
