Chapter 310: Looking West at Shaanxi and Gansu

Tang Qiuli's solemn farewell to Deputy Army Commander Qin Dechun aroused strong repercussions in Pingjin and Tianjin, and all major newspapers reported this heavy news with heavy pen and ink.

During the period of the Republic of China, there was a change of power in various local powerful factions, and the losers ended miserably, and even lost their lives, which was not uncommon, and the press also regarded Qin Dechun as a loser.

However, there are a lot of praises and praises for Tang Qiuli's approach, saying that Qin Dechun retreated with his whole body and was able to preserve his reputation, which is really rare, and Tang Qiuli's gift out of the country won a lot of applause, and those who are unkind and unkind, and the people who fall into the well are no less than worlds apart, Tang Qiuli's reputation has been pushed to the peak.

However, there are also rumors in Pingjin and Tianjin, saying that Tang Qiuli is purging dissidents, first Song Zheyuan, then Xiao Zhenying, and then Qin Dechun, to clean up the older generation of the 29th Army, so that he can monopolize power.

The only people who are depressed are the Japanese, they can always get some benefits when they deal with the old faction of the 29th Army, take Qin Dechun as an example, he signed the "Qin-Tu Agreement" with Kenji Dohihara, the former head of the Japanese army's North China secret service, which allowed Japan to reap enough benefits in North China.

Now, he has also left, there are almost no figures of the older generation of the 29th Army, and what has been replaced is Tang Qiuli, who makes the Japanese grit their teeth with hatred, but is helpless, not to mention the benefits from him, that is, the benefits that have been taken, whether they can keep it or not, it is still unknown.

How can the outside world rumor, Tang Qiuli has no time to pay attention to it, it is impossible to satisfy everyone by doing one thing, in that way, even if he is tired to death, he can't please it, why bother, just treat it as if it was a gust of wind.

Tang Qiuli's mind had already been put on another matter, not far from the day when the major event that would happen that would affect the course of Chinese history, and his appearance in this major event would directly affect the future fate of the 29th Army and the Independent Division.

But he and the two protagonists in the incident have never met, and they have no friendship at all, and when the time comes, they can't speak, but they will miss the opportunity.

Standing in the right position and following the right person is a test of political wisdom, although Tang Qiuli knows the upcoming events well, and there are countless descriptions in later films, television and literary works, but you also have to prepare in advance and take precautions.

In August of the 26th year of the Republic of China, Tang Qiuli took the guard brigade, Liu Chun's first cavalry brigade, and three detachments of the special operations detachment to leave the North China Plain, all the way west, and marched towards the Yellow River.

He went to Shaanxi and Gansu this time for two purposes, one is to make friends with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, and in the future, his words will have weight, and at a critical time, he will give the old man a hand, and the grace of saving his life will make Chairman Jiang grateful for a lifetime.

You can also see the idol in my heart, the Zhou Gong Zhou Enlai who worships the five-body throwing to the ground, and I feel my blood boiling when I think about it, that is the inextinguishable light in Tang Qiu's centrifugation.

The main thing is that he knew from the information of later generations that in the Shaanxi and Gansu areas, there are oil resources, although it is not as famous as the Daqing Oilfield in later generations, and the size is also a place where oil can be produced.

He has a lot of iron guys who drink oil in his hands, and soon there is an armored unit, and the younger brother Battle has been studying at the Berlin Military Academy in Germany for more than a year, and when he returns from his studies, he will give him a big gift, a tank brigade full of personnel.

For this reason, before leaving, he sent a telegram to the old man Zhu Zixuan in the United States to purchase complete sets of oil production and refining equipment.

Regarding the issue of funds, the old man Zhu Zixuan called back and said that the money remitted last time had not been touched at all, and the money earned by the Japanese in Germany had not been used up yet, and there was no need to remit it again.

The old man didn't mention it, Tang Qiuli almost forgot about it, in Germany, there were still a large number of Japanese who owed him usury, working hard for him, and it was a steady stream of banknotes.

Accompanied by Tang Qiuquan, the head of the special operations detachment, with Brother Qiuquan, Tang Qiuli can be lazy, regardless of the daily affairs of the troops, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, Director of Intelligence Yu Deshui, Director of Baggage Zhou Yushan, and one more person is impressively listed, that is, the director of the political work of the independent division (not yet in office), the current position is the chief of the inspection department of the Pingjin Garrison Command, the big beauty Mei Ting.

Originally, Mei Ting's body was just healing from her injuries and was not suitable for long-distance travel, but this girl couldn't leave Tang Qiuli for a day, for fear that he would disappear from sight, knowing that Tang Qiuli was gone, and he couldn't come back for a month, how could he stand it.

Soft grinding and hard bubbles, tears rippling, pear blossoms with rain, made Tang Qiuli cry and laugh, headache, this girl also moved to the garrison headquarters of a few veteran and talkative directors to intercede.

Tang Qiuli could only agree with the doctor's consent, he knew that Mei Ting, in order to be able to join him, even bribed and threatened to take down Union Hospital from the president to the ordinary doctor, and the little girl took a lot of effort.

Tang Qiuli considered another layer, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, who were about to deal with each other, both had family members, especially Zhang Dagongzi, his wife Miss Zhao Si was the best among women, Zhang Xueliang relied on him a lot, with Mei Ting here, it was conducive to communication, taking the lady route, and sometimes it was more convenient to do things.

This girl, now she is more and more forgetting her own identity and special mission, Tang Qiuli can selectively give her some tasks, and the little girl is so happy that she doesn't know the north, and she promises that after she arrives in Xi'an, she will definitely take Miss Zhao Si down and build another bridge between Zhang and Yang for the teacher.

In addition to these people, there is also a group of people in civilian clothes, who are particularly eye-catching, this is Tang Qiuli's petroleum geology experts invited from Yenching University, they will do a detailed geological investigation of the site provided by Tang Qiuli, and determine the location of the future oil field and refinery.

From the information of later generations, Tang Qiuli knew that there was oil in the four counties of Dingbian, Zhidan, Wuqi and Yanchi in Yan'an, which belonged to the low-content, high-permeability type of oil storage geological structure, and the mining technology requirements were high, the difficulty was greater, and the output was also low.

There is no such thing as the Daqing Oilfield in later generations, and it is not a high-yield oilfield that produces oil when drilling, there is no way, Tang Qiuli can't go to the Qaidam Basin in Qinghai, just the length of the transportation route, it will be worrying to death, and the five horses in the northwest are not fuel-efficient lamps, just answering them, it is enough to have a headache, and they can't send troops all the way over.

Daqing in Heilongjiang is the forbidden place of the Kwantung Army, don't even think about it, you can only retreat to the second, during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in northern Shaanxi, the Japanese did not set foot on this land, and the Yellow River natural danger is certainly a factor on the one hand.

It may be that the barren people in northern Shaanxi, the poor mountains and bad waters, there are no resources, it is not worth the Japanese army to fight for this, pour troops, ** to be able to be in a corner of northern Shaanxi, recuperate, and finally after eight years, carefully cultivated cadres, like a tide all over northern China, after three years of competition, can finally get the world.

Now, in the northern Shaanxi area, in the first control area, Tang Qiuli took a large group of people and horses to enter rashly, and if he didn't fight with the Vermilion Red Army and smoke everywhere, then he would burn high incense, so he asked the soldiers of the special operations detachment to disguise themselves as attachés and enter in disguise.

These people are the treasures in Tang Qiuli's eyes, they are professionals, led by Professor Ouyang, who is in his sixties, and took more than 30 of his students to participate in this trip to Shaanxi and Gansu.

Tang Qiuli didn't dare to be careless, these people were fat in the eyes of the bandits, tied up the ticket, knocked Tang Qiuli a lot, didn't let him be depressed to death, he did this professionally, and called some little thieves to calculate, and the soldiers of the special operations detachment also acted as guards.

Before leaving, he had a long talk with Professor Ouyang, Tang Qiuli's understanding and knowledge of geology impressed Professor Ouyang's arrogant heart, and Tang Qiuli's bright prospects for him immediately ignited the old professor's blood.

In particular, Tang Qiuli affirmed that the oil fields in Yan'an in northern Shaanxi aroused Professor Ouyang's competitive spirit, and he had studied it for most of his life, and so far, he did not dare to say that there was oil in a certain place in China.

He claimed that during this trip to Shaanxi and Gansu, General Tang did not need a penny, and he led the students to lead the students to find oil on Chinese soil, exploit the first oil field in China, benefit future generations, go down in history, and realize his lifelong wish.

Two people with their own purposes, each take what they need, hit it off, and soon reached an agreement to develop the oil field, Tang Qiuli is responsible for all the investment, and ask Professor Ouyang to be the chief engineer, the treatment, the generous let Professor Ouyang faint, including his students, can stay in the oil field to work, the treatment is not said.

Although Professor Ouyang said this, how could Tang Qiuli dare to be slow, with the treatment of a national treasure, carefully waiting for these technicians, including him, all marched on horseback, and gave them all the cars to sit, Mei Ting was also like everyone, and was forced to sit in the car by Tang Qiuli on the grounds of physical weakness.

However, Mei Ting's expression made everyone quite appreciated, only Tang Qiuli vaguely guessed this girl's thoughts, and smiled silently.

The logistical supply of the independent division did not say that under Tang Qiuli's orders, the treatment of these technicians was staggering, and these professors and students who were accustomed to hard work were deeply impressed by Tang Qiuli's wealth and generosity.

In his report to the Nanjing Military and Political Department for instructions, Tang Qiuli enumerated the reasons for his visit to Shaanxi and Gansu, which were very convincing; otherwise, it would be a great taboo for a local military official to leave the defense area without authorization and enter the non-responsible defense area, especially the sensitive area where he has contact with the Communist Party.

Those officials in Nanjing who have eaten deflated in Tang Qiuli's hands can not make irresponsible remarks, especially He Yingqin, if they don't make a big fuss about this, it won't be him, it is possible to say that they are ill-intentioned and secretly united with the Communist Party, and Tang Qiuli has to guard against it.

Coming to this era, Tang Qiuli, who has been trained a lot, will certainly not make such a low-level mistake and do enough superficial articles.
