Chapter 4 Nanjing (10)

Ouyang Yun's words were very serious, and Li and Bai glanced at each other, and there was a hint of research in their eyes when they looked at him. Chen Jitang looked relieved, because the proposal to cooperate with the three parties was put forward by him first, so Ouyang Yun's performance made him feel very face-saving in front of Li Bai and the others, and he didn't choose the wrong object! He smiled and said, "Commander Ouyang is humble, and the glory achieved by the Yue Army and the Gui Army is all in the past. However, after two successive victories in the war against Japan, your prestige is now in full swing. Speaking of which, although our Guangdong and Guizhou armies have always adhered to the **** policy, but because of geographical reasons, they are not powerful, even if the soldiers are strong and the guns are sharp, they can only look at the sea and sigh! ”

As soon as Chen Jitang's voice fell, Hu Hanmin, as the oldest Kuomintang veteran among the four, lightly stroked the goat and spoke: "This is actually not a problem, the Cadet Division has now mastered the small part of Hebei and most of the Chahar, and the Cadet Division's current military strength is not rich, on the contrary, our Guangdong Army and the Gui Army are full of troops, so we can form an allied army to garrison North China." First, it can help our allies stabilize the region, and second, it will fully demonstrate to the world our determination to resist Japan. ”

Li Zongren said: "This method is good, I don't know if Senior Commander Ouyang is willing to let us intervene in North China affairs?" ”

After he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Ouyang Yun's face again.

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Chahar is a poor and remote country compared to Liangguang, and it is a good thing for me to send troops to Liangguang to station. Even if I personally disagree, I think the people of Chahar will welcome it with both hands. But—"

"But what?" Bai Chongxi asked.

"The composition of our cadet division is relatively complicated, including not only the first military police regiment that originally belonged to the descendant line of the Central Army, but also the guard battalion of the Yu Xuezhong Department, and the main force of the cadet division is the original 129th regiment of the 37th Division. I think they might have other opinions. ”

Li Zongren frowned when he heard this: "The composition of the Cadet Division is complex enough. ”

Bai Chongxi asked directly: "So, how can they have no opinions?" In other words, what do you want in exchange?

Faced with Bai Chongxi's questioning, Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly and did not answer immediately, his brain was running rapidly, but he was thinking about whether the meeting with Hu Hanmin that night would be a trap set by the other party.

Among the four people, Chen Jitang was the most impatient, and couldn't help but say at this time: "Ouyang, we have absolute sincerity in this cooperation. If you really feel embarrassed, then this is good, we will pay 500,000 Koyo to buy the 'Weiqing-style' manufacturing process from you. ”

Among the existing resources of the cadet division, the turf and penicillin and the "disease-free" multi-functional machine gun are actually not Chen Jitang's targets, and what he values most is the "Weiqing-style" automatic rifle.

Seeing that he wanted to obtain the "Wei Qing-style" manufacturing process for 500,000 yuan, not to mention Ouyang Yun's reaction, Li, Bai, and Hu Hanmin couldn't help but show a trace of disdain in their eyes when they looked at him. Hu Hanmin shook his head even more secretly, and said in his heart that the thin and tall guy really dared to open his mouth, hehe, it seems that he doesn't know what kind of person his opponent is.

Because he learned in advance from Hu Hanmin's mouth that Chen Jitang used to buy the bottom line of "Wei Qingshi", Ouyang Yun naturally had no reaction to Chen Jitang's first round of offer. Glancing at the other three, he said to Chen Jitang with a straight face: "Commander Chen, don't worry, since this time we are talking about cooperation, I think as long as everyone is sincere enough and can fully consider each other, after the agreement is reached, 'Wei Qing' is just a trivial matter." However, before that, I would like to state that although we are only junior juniors compared with Liangguang, our determination to resist Japan is absolutely not inferior to anyone else. It is not modest to say that we were born to resist Japan, so resistance is the primary mission of our existence. ”

"It's a good one who was born because of the anti-Japanese resistance, and Commander Ouyang's mind is admirable, but when the existence of the cadet is threatened by your own people, how will you react?" Li Zongren said, looking at Ouyang Yun with burning eyes.

"There's already a precedent for this, don't forget how the Cadet got Chahar!" Bai Chongxi said to Li Zongren with a smile.

Ouyang Yun smiled: "Yes." The internal principle of our military division is that if someone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, and if someone offends me, I will repay him tenfold. ”

Hearing such arrogant words, Chen Jitang's color changed, and Hu, Li, and Bai looked at Ouyang Yun with appreciative expressions. Then, Li Zongren smiled and said to Bai Chongxi: "Old Bai, the future is terrifying, I said before I came not to take chances, don't you believe it, now I know that the future is amazing?!" ”

Bai Chongxi also smiled, he glanced at Ouyang Yun with a smile and then said to Chen Jitang: "Commander Chen, I think it's better to take out the text of the agreement directly, our little friend is not a fool." ”

Chen Jitang's face had stabilized after a while, he nodded with a smile and took out a document from the drawer.

Ouyang Yun carefully read the document, and when he raised his head, he first threw a grateful glance at Hu Hanmin. What was said in the document is exactly the same as what Hu Hanmin revealed in advance, and now, it is time for him to bargain and pay back the money.

Seeing that he had finished reading the agreement, Chen, Li, and Bai looked at him expectantly, and Li Zongren asked, "How is it?" You don't suffer a loss as a soldier, do you? ”

Ouyang Yun shouted: "What, this is a big loss." ”

"Huh?!" The three of them looked at each other, and Hu Hanmin also pretended to be puzzled.

"Three seniors, you are pulling our cadet into the fire pit."

Chen Jitang stood up when he heard this, and said unhappily: "What are these words?" If it weren't for the sake of your apprentices and divisions to resist Japan, I would not have agreed to such a loss-making alliance agreement! Hmph, Senior Commander Ouyang, please give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! ”

Li and Bai's reactions were not as fierce and domineering as Chen Jitang's, but it was not difficult to see from their expressions that in their minds, in this agreement, Liangguang made concessions.

Ouyang Yun ignored Chen Jitang's threat and calmly explained: "From a literal point of view, our military division has indeed taken a lot of advantage, first of all, two million free aid, which is indeed of great help to our current economic situation; Secondly, the Cantonese army sent troops to Chahar, which undoubtedly helped us share part of the defensive pressure. However, if we carefully consider the relationship between Guangdong-Guizhou and Nanjing, we have lost more than we gained. The Liangguang army is strong and strong, so naturally we are not worried about the threat from Nanjing, but our military division is different, we currently have only more than 10,000 soldiers, most of whom are new recruits, and I am not stupid enough to confront the Central Army with such a troop lineup. Besides, everyone has seen the methods of the Nanjing one, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, in case they reach any agreement with the Kwantung Army, then we don't know how to die in the military division. ”

Chen Jitang said: "Speaking of which, you are still afraid of the Japanese. ”

Ouyang Yun sneered: "I'm afraid of the Japanese, Commander Chen, don't you think this sentence is funny?" ”

"Then are you afraid of Lao Jiang?!"

"I can't help but be afraid, your Cantonese family has a big business and a deep foundation, and we can't afford to toss a small family and a small business."

"Ouyang Yun, don't be ignorant!" Chen Jitang was angry and spoke a little unscrupulously.

Li and Bai looked at them coldly, and they had no intention of intermediating. Hu Hanmin couldn't sit still, he stood up and said: "Okay, today we can sit together and talk about cooperation, which has a common goal." Now that the cooperation has not been discussed, there has been a contradiction first, if this is rumored, with your current status, don't you want to be laughed out of your big teeth? Ouyang, please forgive me for leaning on the old man and saying a few words to you, it is a good thing that the young man's blood is strong, but now you are not facing an enemy but an ally who intends to cooperate with you, what difficulties do you have Just say it, there is no need to make a big fuss?! ”

Ouyang Yun borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, sat down and said, "Xie Lu Xie Hu Lao's reminder is the kid Meng Lang." He said to Chen Jitang again: "Commander Chen, you don't remember the villain, you didn't consider the words just now, please bear with Meng Lang." ”

Chen Jitang snorted and sat down.

Li Zongren said to Ouyang Yun: "Senior Commander Ouyang, Mr. Hu is right, if you really have difficulties, just say it, since we intend to form an alliance, then we will be comrades sitting in the same boat in the future, and if there are any difficulties, we will find a way to solve them together." ”

Ouyang Yun nodded and smiled gratefully at Li Zongren, and said, "The composition of the student division is complex, and you all know the Tao, and there is an irreconcilable contradiction between Liangguang and Nanjing. With all due respect, I think sooner or later there will be conflict between you. Then, the cadet division that is allied with you will definitely stand on your side at that time, in that case, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, because it is backed by the sea and has a strong navy, it will not be surrounded on all sides at the worst, and our cadet division will be different. The situation in North China is well known to you, and it has always been a place where the forces of all parties are intertwined, and although it has not been manifested at present, there must be many people behind the scenes who want to find an opportunity to swallow us. Since the Wen'an War, although our military division now seems to be infinitely beautiful, in fact, it is full of dangers......

Hearing this, Chen Jitang, who was in a bad mood, interrupted: "Ouyang Yun, I really don't understand how you got your name of 'Anti-Japanese Heroes', you are afraid of wolves and tigers, how can you have a little manhood!" ”

Bai Chongxi said: "Ouyang's worries are not unreasonable, the situation in North China is indeed complicated enough. ”

Chen Jitang said: "Isn't what he is worried about is that he is afraid that the whole army of the cadet division will be wiped out, this is easy to solve, and it is enough to leave a little seed in other places." Well, if the three of us can form an alliance, it will not be a problem to give you a county territory in our two provinces to save the seeds. ”

This was exactly what Ouyang Yun needed, he pretended to think about it and said, "Commander Chen's suggestion is not bad, but it's ......"

"But what, are you afraid that I will swallow up your troops? Hmph, then you underestimate me Chen too much. Not to mention the troops that you left as seeds, even your entire cadet division, I can't even look down on it. ”

Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "That's not what I mean. ”

Bai Chongxi looked at Ouyang Yun, something flashed in his mind, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, his eyes turned to Chen Jitang, and he couldn't help thinking: Chen Plague Pig, Chen Plague Pig, this time you are afraid that you will fall for someone else's job.

Chen Jitang didn't know that he had become a fool in Bai Chongxi's eyes, and he said loudly: "Since this is the case, the matter of the alliance is decided." Ouyang Yun, among the three parties of our alliance, you are the weakest in the military division, so you can choose a place to keep the seeds, but I want to state that you only have the right to garrison the army, and the other powers still belong to our Guangdong government. ”

"In this way, I don't dare to bear Commander Chen's kindness."

"What do you mean? This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what the hell are you going to think?! This time, Chen Jitang was really angry.

Ouyang Yun had a bitter face, as if he had received a lot of grievances, he touched his nose, and just when Chen Jitang's patience was about to reach the limit, he said: "This alliance is a test of life and death for our apprentices, Commander Chen, you have to let me think about it again." ”

"I'm lost-" Chen Jitang couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, just when he was about to make a disrespectful speech, Hu Hanmin stood up in time to stop him, he glared at Chen Jitang with disgust and said, "Jitang, don't forget your current identity." Then he said to Ouyang Yun: "Senior Commander Ouyang, are you not satisfied with Ji Tang's proposal?" ”

Ouyang Yun said: "Don't dare." Commander Chen's proposal is very tempting, but what is the exchange of things that our military division can't get? ”

Chen Jitang sneered: "Don't be modest, just Zhangjiakou." ”

Ouyang Yun, Li and Bai's faces changed. Zhangjiakou is the provincial capital of Chahar, and if the provincial capital is given to the Cantonese army, then the control of Chahar by the Cadet Division is equivalent to existing in name only.

Li Zongren said: "Lao Chen, your condition is a bit nonsense. Zhangjiakou is the provincial capital of Chahar, and as far as I know, it has now become the base camp of Ji Xingwen's 37th Division. Even if Ouyang agreed, I don't think Ji Xingwen would agree. ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say?"

Bai Chongxi said: "Why don't we find a piece of land for the cadet soldiers in Fujian?" ”

"Fujian?" Ouyang Yun said to himself: "That's the territory of the Central Army." ”

Chen Jitang said: "Then Fujian, Ouyang Yun, you can choose a place in Fujian, except for Chahar Zhangjiakou, I will also choose a place at will, how about it?" ”

Before Ouyang Yun could answer, Hu Hanmin said: "That's it, otherwise, if you bargain again, I don't know what year and month this alliance agreement will be signed." ”
