Chapter 236 Nanjing ([-])

One night in October, Nanjing, on the second floor of a painting boat on the Qinhuai River, Ouyang Yun, Jiang Shuren, and Chen Shichang were sitting around a garden table, each with a cup of tea in front of them.Not far from them, a woman in a cheongsam was playing the zither.

Ouyang Yun and his party consisted of more than [-] people. In order to ensure his safety, Shan Renxiong and Guo Biao each selected a dozen elite members from Dadao and Langya to form the guard team.In the dark, there is also a team of Hutong responsible for pathfinding and peripheral security.

When Ouyang Yun first heard about this security arrangement, he thought it was too exaggerated, as if he was suspected of ostentatiousness.Forget about the wolf teeth, the members of the Broadsword are all members of the former Chairman's Special Guard, and they must be familiar faces in Nanjing. If someone sees it and spreads it to someone's ears, God knows what the consequences will be.

Guo Biao insisted that even Zhang Zhen thought it was necessary. According to him, the water in Nanjing was too muddy and there were too many big fish. Many of them coveted Xuebing Division and Ren Qiu for a long time, so they were prepared good.

When Chen Shichang came to Nanjing for the first time, he was deeply impressed by the prosperity of Nanjing.They entered the city in the evening, which happened to be off work and dinner time. Looking at the hotels lined up on the street and the cars passing by from time to time, and hearing the bustling sounds of people, he couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know." When will our Renqiu develop like this?"

After they entered the city, the Hutong team sent someone to bring over the cars that they had rented early.The three of them sat in the same Ford, and Ouyang Yun said with a smile: "Shichang, you really dare to think, this is the capital, what is our Renqiu? It's not even a mid-level city, nothing compares to it."

Jiang Shuren also laughed, and said: "Ouyang, you are a bit self-deprecating. That's right, Renqiu was indeed only a small city before our cadet division entered, but the current scale is definitely within reach of a medium-sized city. As for Nanjing, it only depends on its deep roots, after all, it is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. However, I believe that according to Renqiu’s current development trend, if it has two to thirty years, it will definitely be worthy of Nanjing.”

Ouyang Yun shook his head and said nothing: I hope there will be 30 to [-] years of development time, but do the Japanese have other bandit countries willing to do so?

Before the delegation came to Nanjing, Mu Jiandie had already sent the arrangement of the division headquarters. For this reason, the Hutong Nanjing team specially chartered a painting boat as the delegation's shelter.

I have to say that this idea is a bit outrageous. Although the high-ranking officials in Nanjing all have leisure time to go on the boat, no one would have thought that a serious unit like the Xuebing Division delegation would choose it as a temporary residence.

The journey went relatively smoothly, and the delegation arrived one day earlier than the scheduled time. Amid the sound of the guzheng, Ouyang Yun gradually figured out how to arrange the extra day.Picking up the tea bowl, he said to Chen Shichang: "Shichang, Mr. Jiang and I are going to visit Chairman Lin Sen tomorrow. You can take a few more people to stroll around Nanjing's business district, inquire about the market conditions in NJ, and see what is currently the best seller. What is it, and if possible, help merchants popularize TV knowledge."

Chen Shichang nodded in acceptance, and Ouyang Yun turned to Jiang Shuren and said, "Mr. Jiang, if you say we don't make an appointment, is it possible to see Chairman Lin?"

"It shouldn't be difficult. Chairman Lin is called the head of state of our country, but he is actually very leisurely. But what are we going to visit him for? Generally speaking, people who are too leisurely have no real power." Jiang Shuren described Lin Sen in this way. It's polite, because among other people, Lin Sen's chairman title often has the word "puppet".

"Out of respect, is that enough reason?"

Jiang Shuren laughed, but he didn't believe this nonsense in his heart.Having interacted so deeply with Ouyang Yun, he already had a good understanding of him.On the surface, this young man seems to be simple-minded and easily impulsive, but after careful analysis, it is found that his impulsiveness can always produce some unexpected consequences.Obviously, this young man is actually good at calculating, otherwise, it is impossible for the cadet division to develop from a training class of more than 200 people to the size it is today, and it is about to be upgraded to an army.How long will it take, in time - Jiang Shuren thought this way, looking at Ouyang Yun's face that looked like a young man no matter what, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

As Jiang Shuren expected, of course Ouyang Yun would not visit Lin Sen just out of respect.Although, speaking from the bottom of his heart, Lin Sen was indeed someone he respected, but he had a bigger plan in mind.

As we all know, in history, although Lin Sen was the chairman of the National Government, and held this position until his unfortunate death in a car accident in 1943, because Chiang Kai-shek was impeached and stepped down in 1031, the government was reorganized and the real power was distributed to five houses. Therefore, the chairman is actually an honorary title and has no real power at all.And Lin Sen also deeply understood this, so not only did he never intervene in political affairs, but he also strictly restrained his subordinates, preventing them from getting involved in various political disputes.Regardless of whether Lin Sen really has a very broad mind or, as the world says: being cautious and silent, he has firmly secured the chairmanship.At least this forbearance made Ouyang Yun admire him.And his idea is, if Lao Jiang does not cooperate in order to change China's position in World War II, can he ask Lin Sen for help?Of course, there must be a prerequisite in order to achieve this step, that is, the word "puppet" in front of the chairman must be removed.

As Jiang Shuren described, although he is the head of state, Lin Sen's work is really very leisurely.When Ouyang Yun handed the business card to his secretary to report on his behalf, Chairman Lin was practicing big characters with a brush.

"Chairman, there is a young man named Ouyang Yun asking to see you outside," the secretary said as he glanced at the business card and handed it to Lin Sen respectfully.

Lin Sen replied without raising his head: "Didn't I tell you? Wu asked him to see Jiang, and Wen asked him to see Wang."

"I told him so, but he said you'd see him, because he wasn't one of those two."

"Oh?" Lin Sen became a little interested, picked up the business card and looked at it, and saw that it was printed with "Scholar Master, Director of Renqiu Autonomous Region Ouyang Yun", he first sneered: "It's not those two kinds of people, he is alone People have both." After finishing speaking, he looked at it for a while, and said: "But I heard that this person also has a name called 'Anti-Japanese Two Heroes', anyway, just because of this name, I will meet you." See you."

"Okay, I'll invite them in now."

"They? Are the two heroes of the Anti-Japanese War here?" Lin Sen was more interested.

"Probably not. The two heroes of the Anti-Japanese War are very young, but the one with Ouyang Yun is already in his thirties."

"Chairman Lin!" After Ouyang Yun and Jiang Shuren entered, the former immediately gave a standard military salute, while the latter bent over.Lin Sen was wiping his hands with a wet towel. He nodded to them and said, "Please sit down. Although my place is called an office, it is actually similar to my personal study. Feel free."

Ouyang Yun looked at the toilet paper that was still spread on the desk. There were a few lines of strong cursive written on it, and the brush on one side was resting on the inkstone. He and Jiang Shuren looked at each other, found a seat and sat down.Jiang Shuren said: "I didn't expect to disturb the chairman's handwriting practice. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, calligraphy can be practiced at any time, but some people can't be seen all the time," Lin Sen smiled kindly, first called the secretary to serve tea, and then looked at Ouyang Yun with great interest. Yun was a little embarrassed, he smiled slightly and asked, "Are you Ouyang Yun?"

Ouyang Yun stood up and replied respectfully, "Yes."

"Sit down, this is not a business meeting, otherwise I will not meet you. Ouyang Yun, you are very young. By the way, did you really kill more than 200 Japanese as reported in the newspaper? Beheading their heads? The Japanese are most afraid of being beheaded, so it’s no wonder they see you as a thorn in their side. Young man, you did a good job!” I don’t know if it’s because it’s hard to find someone to chat with during working hours, but once Lin Sen starts talking A little glib.

Ouyang Yun smiled modestly, and said: "Chairman, there are so many scribbles in the newspapers. If I really want to have that ability, do I have to go to great lengths to set up some kind of student army division, and just take a big knife to kill the devils?" Is that the head?"

Lin Sen smiled, and liked Ouyang Yun's tone of speaking very much, without official accent, and not hypocritical modesty.Thinking of the legendary cadets, he became curious, and he could not care about the self-discipline of political affairs. He asked: "You cadets fought two battles with the Japanese, and both won big. Is it true?"

As a veteran of the Kuomintang, Lin Sen was used to false reporting of military achievements, so he asked this question.

"The chairman read it from the newspapers again. Hey, these newspapermen like to exaggerate. The first game was a narrow victory. The second game, if it weren't for the help of the two commanders Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu of the 29th Army, then we are now The whole army must have been wiped out."

"Oh?!" Lin Sen felt a little surprised by Ouyang Yun's answer.The so-called family ugliness is not publicized, he did not expect that this young guy who is at a high-spirited age would be able to expose his family ugliness.His affection for him increased again, he thought of something, and asked with concern: "Are you coming to Nanjing this time for business?"

"It was the chairman who asked us to come."

"Oh? Is that so?!" Hearing that it was Jiang who asked them to come, Lin Sen couldn't help but doubt the relationship between them, thinking that what he was about to say might be suspected of sowing discord, so he stopped talking.

"Chairman Lin, if you are free, can you please visit Renqiu? I think the young men in our division will be more motivated if they know you are here."

Hearing him mention Ren Qiu, Lin Sen thought of the penicillin that was more expensive than gold and the scarce oil, and became interested again, and asked, "I heard that even foreigners can't make the penicillin produced by your pharmaceutical factory. The Americans and the Japanese actually fought each other at the auction, is this really true?"

Jiang Shuren replied with a smile: "It's true." Thinking of what Ouyang Yun said to Doihara at the meeting that day, he looked at Ouyang Yun and smiled even more.

Lowering his voice, Lin Sen moved his head closer to them and asked, "Then may I take the liberty to ask, does Renqiu really have oil? Did you find it?"

A thought quickly flashed through Ouyang Yun's mind, and he also lowered his voice and said, "I didn't expect the chairman to be interested in these gossips. It's hard to say, but if the chairman can visit Ren Qiu in person, I think the answer will be revealed." of."

Hearing that he changed the topic to the matter of inviting him to Renqiu, Lin Sen's eyes flashed a look of vigilance, he stared at Ouyang Yun's eyes and said: "Mr. Ouyang, thank you for inviting me so warmly, but you should be clear, I, the chairman, is just an empty post, and I have no real power." The implication is: If you want to get any benefits from me, it will be a waste of effort.

In Ouyang Yun's heart, he thought that although the description of this old man in the history books was not accurate, but now it seems that the comment of being cautious is not bad at all.He said with a straight face: "Chairman, it is really insulting for you to say that, why? We juniors must have something to look for when we come to you? If I say it is because of respect for your selfless contribution to the country and the people , I just want you to go and see how much the lives of local people have improved, and make some corrections on our work?"

What Ouyang Yun said was a bit like the temperament of the legendary "Anti-Japanese Two Heroes", and the words were quite sharp.Jiang Shuren looked at him, frowning slightly. He really didn't know what he wanted to spend so much time in front of this puppet.Thinking of the legend that Jiang and Lin were not on good terms, if this matter got to Jiang's ears, it would definitely have a bad effect on their purpose this time, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.Glancing at Lin Sen, he found that the other party seemed to appreciate Ouyang Yun's words. He pretended to look at his watch, and then reminded Ouyang Yun with just the right volume: "Master, it's almost ten o'clock now, don't worry about it." It has affected the chairman's work, and we should leave."

The reason why he used the right volume is because in Lin Sen's opinion, this was his whisper to Ouyang Yun, but it happened to be heard clearly by him.As if he just realized that there is such a person, Lin Sen looked at Jiang Shuren and asked Ouyang Yun, "Who is this?"

Ouyang Yun hurriedly got up and introduced him.

Lin Sen smiled, looked at Jiang Shuren and said, "It turns out to be the God of Wealth of the Military Academy, I didn't expect him to be so young." Turning his gaze to Ouyang Yun, he asked, "Your Military Academy and the local officials in Renqiu are all so young. Is it?"

"There are also elders like the chairman, but they are relatively rare, so they are our treasure."

"Rare, baby?" Lin Sen smiled, then stood up and said, "Since you have something to do, I will stay soon. I am very glad that you can come to my place, hehe, I am the anti-Japanese duo, including your apprentices. I’ve been fascinated for a long time! Today is finally a long-cherished wish of Yiyuan. Xiao Zhang, the guest is leaving, please help me see it off. Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Jiang, goodbye!”

"Chairman, you are welcome to Renqiu as a guest!" Ouyang Yun said after performing the standard military salute again before leaving.

Lin Sen nodded with a smile, not sure if he agreed.
