Chapter 202 Zhao Dengyu ([-])
In mid-October, the weather in North China had begun to turn cold, and Ouyang Yun was finally able to get rid of his crutches and escape from Pan Meiren's custody.

He spends most of his time in bed, giving him enough time to meditate. Under his remote control, the Xuebing Division and the Renqiu government have undergone little changes. Soldiers is no longer a hedgehog, it puts away the thorns on its body, and starts to accumulate strength while licking its wounds.

The Japanese were able to enter the Renqiu area again. On the newly built commercial street, the shops opened by the Japanese began to operate. Although the business was bleak, these people did not intend to make money. I feel that Ouyang Yun has been beaten by the Japanese, and he has begun to understand current affairs.

Of course, not everyone holds this view, such as Doihara, Kawabe Masamune, Feng Zhian, Liu Ruming and others.The change in Ouyang Yun's performance can fool some people who don't know him well. Doihara and others have suffered a lot from him and have dealt with him more or less, so they know what is in Ouyang Yun's heart , because of this, Doihara would tell Nakano and the others in private: "Ouyang Yun is more difficult to deal with than before, and this person will be the biggest stumbling block on the way forward for our empire.

Although the Battle of Oyanagi River Town ended with the Japanese retreating, "Your Excellency Chief Doihara's brilliant and advanced tactical thinking has been reflected" (Nakano), therefore, Nanjiro officially appointed him as the division commander of the 108th Division. This made his military rank jump directly from Dazuo to Lieutenant General, which is "a well-known story" among the officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army.

The land reform in Renqiu City has almost been completed, and it has begun to radiate to the surrounding areas. The difference is that the attitude of the working group composed of newly recruited soldiers is much more relaxed than before, and there is no such thing as forcing landlords and local tyrants to sell their land.However, more industrial and commercial projects hosted by the Renqiu government were launched. Under such circumstances, the landlords who knew the current affairs and the rich still gave up the land and started to engage in other livelihoods. The land reform was carried out subtly.

The first diesel engine of Hongguang Machinery Factory came out under the auspices of Hou Debang. Although it was a four-stroke single-cylinder in-line engine used only by tractors in later generations, Hou Debang relied on the brief information provided by Ouyang Yun (he dared not provide it) too detailed information) can turn it from a few messy drawings into reality, Ouyang Yun has to admit that this person is really a genius, no wonder he can make such brilliant achievements in the field of chemical engineering.

Although Hongguang Machinery Factory can only produce tractors now, Ouyang Yun believes that in time, it will be able to produce tanks.As long as the production line of four-stroke single-cylinder in-line diesel engines can be completed, it will be able to produce four-cylinder or even six-cylinder diesel engines in the future. With the heart of the engine, the production of tanks will not be a problem.

Then there are the aircraft engines...

With the mediation of Bonn and his son, the "Huayang Ship" was successfully admitted to the Dagu port. With the help of Zhang Zizhong, the large-caliber milling machine and oil refining equipment were transported to Renqiu without any danger. Then the first door was 75mm. The caliber field gun was pushed out.Now, the arsenal is already developing a 105mm caliber howitzer.I believe that it won't be long before 150mm or even larger cannons will be developed...

Today's weather was good, around two o'clock in the afternoon, although the sun was still scorching hot, but fortunately, there was wind to counteract the heat, so walking on the street where the recruiting place was, Ouyang Yun didn't feel the heat.

The recruitment of young students is going smoothly. At present, the young students who come from all over the country have basically entered the independent brigade. Come.According to Chen Shichang, who is in charge of the recruitment work, according to the current situation, there should be no problem meeting the establishment of an independent brigade.

The afternoon is a rare time for the recruitment office to be free. Of course, today is an exception. The reason is that two Jews asked to join the army, but they can only speak German. I don't know what the other party means at all.

The older of the two Jews was named Warn, and the younger was named Clive. They were both German soldiers, and Warn was a captain. They were purged from the army.

As soon as Ouyang Yun entered the courtyard of the recruitment office, Chen Shichang, who was making gestures with two Germans in the courtyard, seemed to see a savior.He wiped the sweat from his forehead, ran over quickly, first gave a standard military salute, and then asked, "Master, have you brought a German translator?"

Ouyang Yun introduced little Bonn to him, and then said, "He is German."

Little Bonn's Chinese level is actually quite average, which is why their father and son always bring Leighton Stuart when negotiating with Ouyang Yun.When Chen Shichang made an emergency call to Ouyang Yun, it happened that Little Bonn came to find Ouyang Yun with something to do. Ouyang Yun asked him to come and help.

After the last conversation, the old Bonn father and son quickly gave Ouyang Yun a clear answer, agreeing with his decision that the Jews in Renqiu can only have a single Chinese nationality.However, they made two requests. One is to have freedom of religious belief, and the other is to ask the Renqiu government to help them organize a Chinese language class.

Ouyang Yun had considered these two requirements, especially the latter one, because he felt that this would help assimilate the Jews, so naturally he would not object.So, after the two sides negotiated, Jews began to come to Renqiu from all over the world in a steady stream. Now they have their own settlements, and the population has expanded to 4 to [-].

Little Boen nodded to Chen Shichang, and then walked towards his brothers of the same clan. After some conversation, he brought them to Ouyang Yun. Those two retired Jewish soldiers obviously learned of Ouyang Yun's identity from Little Boen, and they almost Unanimously, they performed the military salute.

Seeing them like this, Ouyang Yun probably guessed their reason for coming, and asked little Bonn: "Do they want to join the army?"

Little Bonn replied: "Yes. They all once stayed in the German Army," pointing to Warn, he said: "He is still a captain in the army."

Ouyang Yun looked at the two of them again, maybe knowing that Ouyang Yun was examining himself, Hua En and Clive's chests were raised even higher.

The German Army in the present era is not exaggerated to be crowned the strongest army in the world. This is why the arrogant Japanese only call their own army "the second strongest army in the world".Seeing the two people's meticulous movements and stern expressions, Ouyang Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart: they are two good soldiers.He smiled and asked the names of the two, and then asked Chen Shichang to take everyone in and sit down.

Ouyang Yun took the lead, followed by little Bonn and his two fellow clansmen.Most of the Jews in Renqiu came to Renqiu directly or indirectly under the influence of the Bonn father and son, so they have different feelings for the Bonn father and son.Neither Hua En nor Clive had expected that the military apprentices and the top officials of the Renqiu government were so young. They looked at little Bonn with doubts in just a few steps—such a young man, he can manage How about this division-level army?I can't help but start to doubt my decision.

Out of politeness, they didn't ask any questions, but Little Bonn obviously read what was in their eyes, and he whispered to the two compatriots: "We Jews have an old saying that investment should be from a long-term perspective, not just limited to the immediate, but to Looking at ten or even twenty years from now, don’t look at Commander Ouyang as young, he defeated a division of the Japanese with just a brigade.”

Hua En is a very ambitious person. When he was a soldier, he had studied the military history of various countries in the world, so he was very familiar with the actual situation of the military establishment of various countries, and he clearly knew the difference in number between a division of the Japanese army and a brigade of China.He was quite surprised, and he couldn't help looking at Ouyang Yun with reverence.

Jews wanted to join the army. This was a new situation. Ouyang Yun thought a lot in just a few steps.In the end he decided it was a good thing, and decided that no matter what, the two Jews should be kept.After everyone sat down, he looked at Hua En and Clive with a smile and asked, "How did you think of joining the army?"

After listening to the translation, Hua En replied naturally: "Because I think the military is the most noble job in the world. Sir Ouyang, I have seen the document you issued to us Jews. I think, since I am already a If you are a Chinese, then you should do your part to defend your family, your compatriots, and your country."

As I said before, Little Bonn's Chinese level is really not good, so the passage he translated seems to be somewhat incomprehensible. The simple summary is: as Chinese people, they want to do their part to protect the environment and the people.

After hearing this, Ouyang Yun's eyes shone brightly, and he took the lead in applauding: "That's very good, if our people can be like you, then the little devil's population is not enough for us to spit together!"

Little Bonn himself couldn't understand these words.Ouyang Yun had no choice but to draw conclusions directly, stood up and held Hua En and Clive's hands and said, "Welcome to join the apprentice division!"

Then he immediately made arrangements for them to go to the Chinese language class to learn Chinese first, and then report directly to the division staff.Ouyang Yun has already made up his mind, he wants to make full use of these two people, let them train the junior officers of the cadet division after arriving in the army, and then use them as an example to see if he can form a mixed army, similar to The motorized troops of later generations.
