Chapter 40 Treat others the way they do
The war that took place in Daliuhe Town came to an end, and just like the Renqiu incident, Tu Feiyuan came full of hope, but turned out to be disgraced.
In this rainy season, the situation in North China is as unpredictable as the weather.
After the failure of military deterrence, Tu Feiyuan was not reconciled, and relied on his title of the top adviser of the Yicha Political Committee to find Song Zheyuan on this day.
Song Zheyuan was in a good mood today, he had just spoken with Ouyang Yun on the phone, and was invited to name the newly "developed" multifunctional machine gun of the Second Ordnance Industry Factory. I heard that the gun can be to the air and the ground, the rare thing is that the weight is very light, not as cumbersome as Makqin, after he took a lot of effort, he named the Han Dynasty general Huo Qubing as the "to sick" multi-functional machine gun.
THE "GO TO THE SICK" MULTI-FUNCTION MACHINE GUN IS A COPY OF THE GERMAN GM42 MACHINE GUN, THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE AMMUNITION FEEDING METHOD AND BOLT ADOPT THE STANDARD CONFIGURATION OF ITS IMPROVED GM1 TYPE, AND THE CALIBER IS STILL 7.92MM.
Ouyang Yun chose to reveal GM42 to Lao Song at this time, which can be described as well-intentioned. After the Renqiu incident, when he learned that the Japanese would garrison Renqiu, Lao Song thought that it was not the time for a showdown with the Japanese, and he did not have the strength, so he advocated a negotiated settlement. As a result, Ouyang Yun disobeyed the order and fought with the Japanese in Daliuhe Town. The battle was won, but it also betrayed Lao Song's trust, and he invited GM42 out at this time, just to find a medium to make up for the gap between the two sides.
Tu Feiyuan and Song Zheyuan met in Nanyuan, because the battle was won, and because Ouyang Yun took the lead, the Renqiu incident was not taken advantage of by the Japanese, so Lao Song unconsciously raised his chest and welcomed Tu Feiyuan in with a victorious attitude.
Tu Feiyuan Xu understood the state of mind of the old Song at this time, so it was rare that he did not act arrogant, but said softly with a mysterious smile on his face: "Congratulations to Commander Song, congratulations to Commander Song." ”
"What's my joy?" He made Lao Song confused like this.
Tu Feiyuan aroused his curiosity, and then he got to the point, saying, "Commander Song should have heard the news that Renqiu has oil, right?" Hehe, if Renqiu is owned by the 29th Army, do you think this is a happy event? ! ”
"Ahh Lao Song understood a little, but he was still a little confused - Ren Qiu is now from the 29th Army, because Ouyang Yun privately regarded the Cadet Division as a member of the 29th Army. Besides, the initiator of the news of this Ren Qiu You Oil is Ouyang Yun, and he is still the first batch of people to know the news - what does this soil and fertilizer yuan mean?!
Tu Feiyuan said seriously: "The truth of the Renqiu incident should be known to Commander Song, Ouyang Yun is clearly challenging the dignity of our Great Japanese Empire." Commander Song, as you know, Commander Nanjiro has already placed two divisions on the border of Rehe, ready to enter the Renqiu Punishment Division at any time. However, considering that Yicha is now under the control of the 29th Army, he thinks it is necessary to ask for your consent first. And I mean, since Renqiu is under the control of Hebei Province, why bother the imperial army to meddle in things? Our imperial army doesn't want to fully occupy North China, so ah, as long as the 29th Army makes a move, it's fine. ”
Tu Feiyuan's words were full enough, but fortunately, Lao Song still understood, he frowned and asked: "Mr. Tu Feiyuan means to let our 29th Army attack Renqiu?!" ”
"That's exactly what it means, in that case, Renqiu's oil resources will be yours. By the way, Commander Minamijiro said that since the 29th Army sent troops to vent the anger of the people of the Japanese Empire, we will sponsor some artillery pieces from your department as a token of appreciation. ”
"No, no, no," Lao Song shook his head again and again, and said, "In this case, won't our 29th Army become the sinners referred to by Qianfu in China?" Mr. Tu Feiyuan, you should be clear, because the cadet division has recently won a great victory in Daliuhe Town, and the division commander Ouyang Yun personally shot down two planes, they are now domestic heroes, and their names are ringing? At this time you let us beat them......" He shook his head and said, "No kidding. ”
Tu Feiyuan's face changed, and he said: "Then it can only be solved by the imperial army itself, but at that time, if the Kwantung Army can't hold its foot, occupies the territory outside Renqiu, or has any conflict with your army, then can't I blame you for not warning you in advance?!" ”
This is a naked threat, Lao Song's face also changed, put away the smile on his face and said coldly: "I don't want to get involved in the entanglement between your country and the student soldier, but I also want to advise you, the student soldier is not easy to mess with, in addition, our 29th army has a wide range of generals, and it is inevitable that there will be unruly people, in case they don't listen to my orders to defend the country to the death, then I can't blame what kind of damage is caused to your army!" You know, although our 29th Army is poorly equipped, the broadswords in the hands of the soldiers are not ornaments! ”
At this point, Tu Feiyuan knew that the purpose of this trip failed, so he had to brush his sleeves and return.
On July 29, at the mouth of Dagu, Tianjin, the cargo ship Douglason finally arrived at its destination after more than a month of sea turbulence. Captain Fryne, who accompanied the Bonn father and son on the aft balcony, pointed to the humble factory in the distance and said, "Bonn, are you really going to start a second venture here?" Fryne, a friend of old Bonn, felt obligated to persuade them to change their minds when he learned that the Bonn father and son were going to move the factory to China.
Old Bonn said a little hesitantly: "Old friend, you know, Germany is my hometown, our family has lived there for generations, we don't want to leave, but...... I actually wanted to move to the United States, but Bonn said that there are more opportunities in China, and there is no competition. I'm getting older, and sooner or later the business will have to fall into his hands. By the way, Flane, you should have heard of Ouyang Yun, the cover character of the June issue of Science magazine, who invented a drug called penicillin, which can effectively curb bacterial infections. We moved here at the invitation of him, and he gave us a guarantee of profit. ”
"Ouyang Yun? I've heard of it, but are the Chinese so smart? I heard that he came back from the United States, maybe it was a plagiarized American invention," Flion said, looking at Bonn and asking, "You have been in contact with him, is this person reliable?" ”
Bonn nodded and said, "Although he is not very old, he is already a professor at Yan University, and he has a good relationship with my friend Mr. Situ Leiden. Dad, Stuart Leiden, you've seen him, he's an honest man. ”
"The last time I saw him in China, he was indeed a person worth associating, and if he was a guarantor, I think the risk would be much less."
Bonn said to Flenn: "Uncle, there is another important reason why I chose to come to China, Ouyang Yun is not only a professor at Yan University, but also a military position. As you know, China is a strange country, and soldiers often enjoy privileges in this country, and I think there must be some kind of general force behind him. ”
Fryan sighed, "I hope you are right, old friend, and I wish you a happy family." Well, will someone pick you up? ”
"I have already sent a telegram to Situ Leiden, he said that he has informed Ouyang Yun and will come with Ouyang Yun to pick us up," Byrne said and looked towards the dock, and soon found Situ Leiden's shadow from the crowd, but he did not see Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun was actually in Tianjin at this time, but he was in Zhang Zizhong's office.
I don't know what Ouyang Yun said to Zhang Zizhong, which made his expression quite solemn, and he asked, "Is this okay?" ”
Ouyang Yun said confidently: "Tianjin has been a concession of all nations since the end of the Qing Dynasty, if this kind of incident does not happen, how can we carry out military management logically?" Rest assured, I've already arranged all of this. Hehe, don't the Japanese like to create incidents? We also make them a taste. ”
"But how many innocent people will be hurt?"
"I don't want to, but is there a better way? It seems that compensation will have to wait until the situation stabilizes. Penicillin will soon be put into production, and at that time, all countries in the world will ask us to increase rations, and we will take the opportunity to legalize and rationalize the military management of Tanggu. ”
Zhang Zizhong thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Just do as you say!" ”
At the mouth of Dagu, Situ Leiden received the Bonn family very smoothly, and after greeting them under the escort of the wolf-tooth soldiers, they were ready to leave the dock by car and go directly to Renqiu. At that moment, about fifty meters away from them, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and then a group of people quickly ran and chased after them, some of whom were muttering something in Japanese. The group quickly split into two groups, and the camps were clearly located to find a place to hide and shoot at each other. And where they had just stayed, there were two corpses, one of which was obviously Western, with yellow hair, white skin, and a high nose.
Xu often encountered such abrupt incidents in China, and the gunfire frightened them very lightly, and Bonn asked Situ Leiden: "Old friend, what happened?" They're not going to be targeting us, are they? Does it matter if we want our equipment and goods? ”
Situ Leiden was well-informed, heard the presence of the Japanese, and comforted: "No, no, it is definitely not aimed at you, Tianjin is a chaotic place, and the Japanese and Chinese often compete here, it should be a similar incident." Adjutant Liu, let's go quickly. ”
Liu Zheliang answered, and immediately ordered to set off, and a group of six cars avoided the warring sides, quickly drove out of the dock, and then drove along the suburban road in the direction of Renqiu.
Soon after the convoy left, the battlefield of the two warring sides immediately expanded, and soon entered Tanggu, and then, because it was not controlled, it went all the way to the city of Tianjin, which caused large-scale riots.
