Chapter 30 Profiteering
Perhaps the emergency assembly at night was too much toss. During the morning exercises the next day, including Ouyang Yun, none of the members of the Academy Corps had dark circles under their eyes.Ouyang Yun didn't care at first. When he was a special soldier, he survived ten times more brutal training. Isn't he still in good spirits?Perhaps as the group leader, he has never paid much attention to his image, and he has high requirements on his current image, so although he obviously feels some discomfort in his body, he still has a very sharp spirit on his face.Of course, what he didn't expect was that the combined effect of such mental strength and two dark circles was a bit funny.

The apprentices didn't notice this at first. When everyone was called up by the morning exercises, they all wanted to scold their mothers, and those who yawned and waited didn't even have time to wash their faces.However, after running for a few laps, as the drowsiness was washed away by sweat, everyone gradually discovered the abnormality of the comrades around them-oh, why have we not seen each other for two hours, and this buddy next to me has become a giant panda?Upon discovering this, the corners of many people's mouths opened involuntarily.Then, I looked back, forth, left, and right, and found that I was in the whole panda garden, which was pretty good.

As the chief officer, Ouyang Yun was running beside the team, so he was naturally the focus of everyone's attention. Therefore, after everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and smiled at each other, their eyes finally focused on his face. People can't help laughing out loud.

At this time, Ouyang Yun also noticed the abnormality of the students, and he was still lamenting that the physical fitness of the students was too poor. It seemed that he had to strengthen training in the future. Seeing that everyone's eyes suddenly fell on his face, and one by one Looking overjoyed, he didn't know what happened, he looked at his clothes, didn't any button be buttoned wrong?Looking at the shoes, there is no left foot and the other right foot, so I can't help but wonder.

The morning exercises were finally over, and when the whole group was waiting to be disbanded, he asked everyone: "What's going on? Is grass growing on my face or crops? Why are you all staring at me?"

Everyone laughed, Chen Shichang stood in front of the team, held back his smile and said: "Tuan Zuo, it's like this, everyone thinks you are an iron man, I didn't expect you to have dark circles under your eyes when you stay up late."

"Ah! No way? I haven't had dark circles for many years?" Ouyang Yun's eyes widened with disbelief—he hasn't had dark circles since he joined the special forces brigade.

When the apprentices heard this, they were all overjoyed, and some of them thought: The commander is so humorous, how old is he, and he hasn't had dark circles for many years, ha ha!

Seeing everyone smiling, Ouyang Yun was not angry, but rather happy.Originally, he was worried that the emergency assembly in the early morning of this morning would arouse everyone's dislike. After all, these are the pride of heaven!As for the proud son, there is another way of saying that it is Jiao Didi's... Now it seems that he is worried too much.

After everyone had laughed for a while, it was considered relaxed, Ouyang Yun suddenly shouted: "Stand at attention!" Then he took the lead in standing at attention, with his chest straight.

Seeing his serious expression, the students were unconsciously infected, and hurriedly stood at attention and stood up straight.

"Relax! Now, let me talk about the problems that occurred in the emergency assembly this morning. Problem 200: The assembly time was too slow, and it took about 8 minutes for more than [-] people! Problem [-]: Many people did not button their clothes properly, and Yes, he even ran out with bare feet. Comrades, think about it, if the enemy was attacking us at that time, at our speed, could this battle still be fought? Please note that our weapons and equipment It hasn't been issued yet, and if you count the time to carry the equipment, it may not be a quarter of an hour, and our team will not be able to assemble," Ouyang Yun said, staring at the panda eyes from the faces of the students one by one. Tour the past.

There was a moment of silence in the school field, and many people even lowered their heads.

Seeing someone lower their head, Ouyang Yun frowned, and said: "The person who lowered his head raised his head, what? Do you think I am making a fuss out of a molehill? Or am I embarrassed because I realized my mistake? I declare that this is definitely not a fuss over a molehill. On the battlefield, time is life—how long does it take for a bullet to fly a distance of 1000 meters? Everyone has read books and learned arithmetic, and the answer is not difficult to obtain, just seconds! Maybe it’s just a second difference , you and I may lose our lives because of the delay in gathering! Because of you and me, the strength of our team will be affected and we will lose the opportunity. Maybe, we will fail because of this. If our team fails, then, we The entire large army may be destroyed because of our destruction, which will lead to the failure of a battle, and further, our country may perish-this is by no means alarmist! The levee collapsed in the ant's nest, this truth, I think everyone present I understand—everyone raise their heads, we don’t need to blame ourselves now, we still have a lot of things to do!? What awaits us will be a cruel battlefield, where we will become a man who stands up to the sky, becomes a The backbone of the nation—this is the mission of our soldiers! Now I announce that after the meeting is disbanded and we have breakfast, we will hold a ceremony to bid farewell to the remains of the martyrs. Comrades, think about it, yesterday, they were still training with us, Together we dreamed of recovering the rivers and mountains one day, but today, they have already died—comrades, the legacy of the martyrs needs us to fulfill, so please raise your heads!..."

In fact, Ouyang Yun still had a lot to say, many matters to be brought to the attention of the students, but when he mentioned the students who died this morning, he was choked up and could not continue, so he had to give up the long lecture.

At 07:30 in the morning, all the members of the Academy Corps, except for the two sentinels, participated in the farewell ceremony for the remains of the martyrs.During the ceremony, many students cried, and more people gritted their teeth and made an oath in their hearts: one day, they will drive all the Japanese devils out of China, so that their comrades and comrades can smile. .

After the ceremony, Ouyang Yun announced two more regulations. First, in order to commemorate the first battle of the Academy Corps, today, May 5, will be designated as the Army Founding Day of the Academy Corps; When the situation occurs, an event will be held to mourn the sacrifice of the martyrs of the Academy Corps.

This later gradually became an unshakable iron law on the day of the Academy's Army Day. From now on, no matter where the officers and soldiers of the Academy are and what their status is, May 5th is a special day for them. day.

What Ouyang Yun himself didn't expect was that what he seemed to have done on a whim at the time gradually became the soul of the "Iron Blood Scholar Corps" growing into an iron army.

After the activity of bidding farewell to the remains of the martyrs, Ouyang Yun arranged for Chen Shichang to take a few people to the city to buy coffins and tombstones, and then drive a truck to send the remains of the four martyrs of the 51st Army back to the 51st Army's Quartermaster.When Chen Shaohua learned about the attack on the convoy, his first reaction was to grit his teeth and say the name "Ma Benqian".It turned out that Ma Ben came to look for him yesterday afternoon, but the guards blocked the door.According to the guards, Ma Benqian lingered at the gate for a long time before leaving. Obviously, it was he who disclosed the whereabouts of the convoy to the Japanese.Knowing this, Ouyang Yun even suspected that the news that he went to the Song Mansion and temporarily stayed in Cai's Garden was also passed on to the Japanese by this traitor.

At the end, Chen Shaohua said bitterly: "Ma Benqian, you are dead!"

Ouyang Yun didn't have time to take care of Ma Benqian now, so he took out four gold bars and handed them to Chen Shaohua, saying, "Uncle Chen, your subordinates suffered an accident because of me, please find a way to give this money to their relatives, and use it as a pension." Bar."

Chen Shaohua turned his smile and said, "No problem, Ouyang, I didn't expect you to be so young but have a good heart."

Ouyang Yun curled his lips and said, "Uncle Chen, please make sure to deliver it. I'll take my leave first."

Chen Shaohua is a smart person, and he heard the meaning of his words, and said seriously: "Ouyang, you underestimate me too much, a gentleman seeks money in a proper way, how dare I stretch out this kind of money! Don't worry, they On the family side, I will definitely make arrangements."

Ouyang Yun didn't want to get too entangled with him on this topic, Chen Shaohua's city was too deep, he couldn't figure out his bottom line at all, he did this just for peace of mind, so he saluted him solemnly, and then drove away.

After leaving the 51st Army's Quartermaster Office, Ouyang Yun, under the guidance of Liu Zheliang, an orderly soldier in the same car, drove to the garrison of Chang Zhi'an of the 25th Division.Then, under the guidance of Chang Zhi'an, they met Chang Zhilin, the director of the 25th Division's Quartermaster Department.

After hearing his cousin's introduction, Chang Zhilin decided that Ouyang Yun, a returned overseas Chinese, was a rich man, so he led him directly into the warehouse, and then pointed to the various guns and cannons in the warehouse and asked him what he wanted.

It's strange to say that the 25th Division has a division size, and the inventory in the warehouse is only a lot more than that of the 51st Army. Needless to say, there are brand new guns, and the damaged guns that are put together as waste products are piled up like hills. What caught Ouyang Yun's attention the most was a hydraulic punching machine and several semi-new but dusty lathes, milling machines, and boring machines.

He pretended not to care and went around the entire warehouse, then shook his head and pretended to be disappointed.

Seeing his expression, the two brothers Chang Zhian and Chang Zhilin were puzzled. Chang Zhian asked: "Brother Ouyang, you don't seem very satisfied with your appearance?"

Ouyang Yun smiled reservedly, showing the characteristics of a profiteer, and said slowly: "To tell you the truth, we bought a lot of guns and guns from the 51st Army, and the bullets are enough for a year's consumption—"

Hearing half of Chang Zhilin's words, he felt very disappointed, and said: "So brother Ouyang doesn't like our things anymore?" He gave his cousin a look, and seemed a little dissatisfied with him for attracting such a master who only wants to see but not buy. .

Ouyang Yun's purpose of acting so painstakingly was just to lower the price and buy the machine tool he wanted the most. After thinking about it, he said calmly: "You two old brothers, thank you for looking after me. Now that I'm here, I'm embarrassed to go back empty-handed. En , I opened a thrift store in Beiping, and you seem to have a lot of scrap iron here, do you know if you sell it or not?"

"Sell, sell, of course!" Chang Zhilin yelled immediately, but he didn't know why he felt inappropriate as soon as the words came out. He looked at Ouyang Yun and asked suspiciously: "You are a major who opened a thrift store, I didn't hear wrong?"

Ouyang Yun smiled embarrassedly, and nodded embarrassingly.

In Chang Zhilin's eyes, broken guns are scrap iron, and they have to be dealt with anyway. Although he felt that it was inappropriate, he always felt like he was cheated, so he agreed.Then, all of them, together with several machine tools, were sold to Ouyang Yun at the price of scrap iron.

Ouyang Yun got the machine tool he wanted the most, and in the eyes of the Chang brothers, he seemed to have become generous all of a sudden. He didn't think the guns were enough, so he bought two trucks and ten barrels of engine oil at a very reasonable price. Twenty barrels of gasoline; ten light machine guns, ten boxes of ammunition; ten mortars, three 75mm mountain guns and hundreds of shells.Afterwards, he honored the two brothers with a gold bar weighing half a catty. He didn't want to break the self-righteous industry rules, but he was so moved that Chang Zhilin cut off one-third of the agreed price with a stroke of his pen. Zi is equivalent to taking five catties of gold from him, regretting so much that his intestines are green, he thought that if he knew this, he might as well just give them five catties of gold each, does that mean that the guns here can be taken casually!Thinking of the slaughter at Chen Shaohua's place again, my heart felt as uncomfortable as ten thousand ants devoured my heart.

On the way back, Liu Zheliang saw that he had a bad look on his face, so he went in without knowing it, and asked, "Is the group seat expensive?"

Ouyang Yun, however, grinned loudly, worried that there was a car behind that was driven by Chang Zhian, so he didn't dare to laugh too loudly, and said softly, "Expensive? Stupid boy? It's so cheap, I regret that I didn't come sooner." Know them, otherwise, you won’t spend so much money in the 51st Army. Let me tell you, two trucks cost 1500 yuan, ten barrels of engine oil cost 1000 yuan, twenty barrels of gasoline cost 4000 yuan, and ten machine guns cost 2500 yuan. , Ten boxes of bullets only cost 500 yuan... In the end, I only gave 11 catties of gold, which is 9240 yuan when converted into silver dollars, haha! A few lathes, those cannons, and shells are all free!"

Liu Zheliang was dumbfounded when he heard it, and said to himself: My dear, I didn't expect our team leader to be a profiteer!It's just that the 25th division and these people have such a business, why are they all smiling? !

——This question is hard to explain!
