Chapter 706
When Ouyang Yun spoke, Jiang Shuren sat down sullenly, and glanced sideways at Bai Chongxi from time to time, obviously angry in his heart.Bai Chongxi also knew that he had offended many people with his words just now, so he happened to take the steps down at this time, raised his glass immediately, and compared it with Ouyang Yun, the two drank it down in one gulp.

Although Ouyang Yun intentionally created an atmosphere, because of the presence of Bai Chongxi and Jiang Shuren, the guests and guests of the banquet still broke up unhappy.

Ouyang Yun was waiting to go to the United States, and after dinner, he invited Bai Chongxi and his party into the conference room to discuss the dispatch of troops in detail.If it wasn't because of time constraints, he would have called an enlarged meeting to delay the time, but now, he can only make a quick decision.

Straight to the point, Ouyang Yun directly stated his decision, that he would use these two divisions to replace the three divisions reorganized from the 57th Army to Guangzhou, and supplement Zhang Zizhong's troops.

When Bai Chongxi heard this, his face became unnatural. He looked at Zhang Kexia and Su Zhijie with complicated expressions.What Jiang Shuren did just now, intentionally or unintentionally, is good for Ouyang Yun—look, there are so many people who oppose it in the army, but I still took out two divisions, isn't it interesting?He pondered for a while, then said, "I'm afraid the military committee won't pass this?"

"President Bai, that's up to you. After all, you've already promised us!" Ouyang Yun smiled relaxedly and said, "Please forgive us too. The Changping Incident has really hurt us. The 57th Army He Xuebingjun was born out of the original 29th Army, and I am relieved to hand it over to General Zhang Zizhong. Chief Bai, didn’t you just say that you wanted to talk to me? This official business has been successfully completed, so let’s hurry up How about time to kill the last game? The next time I have this chance, I don’t know when it will be!”

Bai Chongxi once hinted that he had something to do with Ouyang Yun alone, and the latter also created an opportunity to be alone at his request.

Bai Chongxi heard the sound and understood the elegant meaning, pretending to be helpless and said: "Okay."

Ouyang Yun asked Ji Xingwen to entertain the others, so he took Bai Chongxi to his study.

After entering the study and closing the door, Bai Chongxi relaxed a lot, found a chair and sat down, and said without hesitation: "Brother Ouyang, the reason why you did this is because of the care of brother Jinchen, right? This Zhang Jinchen made a good plan." Ah, hehe, I don't know if Jiang is serious, whether he can bear it."

There were no other people around, so Ouyang Yun didn't hide anything, and said: "I don't know what Jiang's plan is, anyway, he has been spying on our army of soldiers for a long time. This point, not only It's you and me, as long as you have eyes, you can tell. Hmph, he thinks he can control everything if he grasps the righteousness of the nation. I just don't buy it. Brother Bai, I treat you as a friend, and I'm not afraid to tell you. We The two divisions that went out to Guangdong this time, one is the direct descendant of our former Xuebing Army, and the other is the mountain division I just formed, which is composed of bandits on Bawang Mountain. I'm afraid I'll bring shame on myself. At that time, it won't be my responsibility. Brother Bai, I won't say much about what happened to your army in Nanjing this time. Do some people still have illusions?"

The Battle of Nanjing was an eternal pain in Bai Chongxi's heart. The main force of the [-] living dragons and tigers will be gone in a few days. Every time he thinks about it, his heart aches unbearably.He waved his hand and said: "The illusion has long since disappeared, otherwise we would not have tossed and defeated Chiang again and again. It's just a pity that every time we fail. Hey, if Little Japan didn't invade China, we would still have a chance. Now, what? For the sake of future generations, we can only firmly stand on the side of the central department. Are we still going to fight at this time and let Little Japan reap the benefits?"

Ouyang Yun nodded and said: "That's exactly what I thought, so I endured it. However, some things can be tolerated, but some things I will never endure. Once I succeed, I will eventually succeed." Instead, it's that general—this is unfair. The key to our Xuebing Army's development and growth to today's scale is to value everyone, so let alone two divisions, it is a big soldier. If I can't give up, I will never give up. Brother Bai, what plans do you and Commander Li have for the future? You won't just be content with the status quo and let Guangxi go its own way? Or, just hand it over?"

Bai Chongxi asked him to have a private meeting, and what he was doing was the future of Guangxi. Hearing the words, his eyes were burning, and he said, "Brother Ouyang, what you said speaks to the heart of a brother. To tell you the truth, I am here in Guangdong this time. Another purpose is to get assistance from your army to reorganize the army, and I hope that my brother will give me help within my ability!"

"It's easy to talk about. Guangdong and Guangxi have been close to each other since ancient times. They should help each other and spend time together. I just don't know. Regarding the reconstruction of Guangxi's military equipment, does my brother have a specific plan?"

"..." Bai Chongxi's requests are all related to people, one is military talents, the other is technical talents.Presumably, he had done his homework before, knowing that the Xuebing Army's current finances are also quite tight, so he didn't mention this aspect at all.

Ouyang Yun readily agreed, and came up with a specific implementation plan.The first is to deploy relevant personnel from the active forces to equip the Gui Army with a basic officer team of three divisions, and then help the Gui Army to completely remodel the three existing arsenals and train relevant technical personnel until they can completely produce independently.Then, there is the long-term plan. In each officer training class, at least [-] training places will be reserved for the Gui family.

He was only halfway through the arrangement, and Bai Chongxi's face was already brimming with joy.At first, he was worried that Ouyang Yun would prevaricate himself, and just give him some sweets like sending a beggar. Now that he heard such a detailed and feasible plan deployment, he knew that he really took it seriously. For the Guangxi family, it's like sending charcoal in the snow!Reciprocating, he immediately said in an emotional tone: "Brother Ouyang, I really appreciate it. Your army has treated our army so kindly, but how can we repay it!"

Ouyang Yun smiled and waved his hands: "Brother Bai's words are wrong. Could it be that we must repay you for helping you? Don't mention this in the future."

The more he said this, the more Bai Chongxi felt that this matter was inappropriate - as far as he knew, this army of apprentices was never the one who suffered.Perhaps Ouyang Yun really wanted to help the Guangxi Clique stabilize out of righteousness, so he had a lot of allies, but the Xuebing Army is no longer his opinion, and he offended Jiang Shuren very much today. This person is in charge of the government affairs of the Xuebing Military Government Financially, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no other ideas-for the sake of long-term consideration, I think it is better to take less of this kind of advantage.I remembered that last year a businessman from Guangzhou went to Guangxi to seek the development of non-ferrous metals. At that time, Delin refused immediately. Perhaps this was a gift that could be bought.So he said: "Our land in Guangxi is barren and our industry and commerce are underdeveloped. Speaking of which, the only things we can get out are buried underground mines. I heard that the Xuebing Army has a great demand for non-ferrous metals because of industrial needs. In this way, we The non-ferrous metals in Guangxi are allowed to be mined by you, and it should be regarded as the reward for this batch of aid from your army. Brother Ouyang, what do you think?"

Ouyang Yun thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Since brother Jiansheng insisted, then I can only be respectful rather than obedient. Well, please brother Jiansheng handle the relevant procedures for us as soon as possible. Hehe, brother Jiansheng, speaking of it, you It also helped us a lot. When I went to the United States this time, I wanted to discuss cooperation issues with the President of the United States. Now that I have your promise, I don’t need to humble myself to the Americans in this matter!”

Guangxi is one of the top ten non-ferrous metal producing areas in China in that time and space. It is rich in more than ten kinds of non-ferrous metals. Among them, arsenic, antimony, tungsten, manganese, and aluminum are necessary raw materials for military and electronic industries, and their industrial value is extremely high.Among them, arsenic, antimony, manganese and aluminum are urgently needed by the Xuebing army.

Compared with Guangdong, Guangxi's strategic geographical location is also very important. It is adjacent to Vietnam to the west, which is a barrier to the east of Guangdong.In the long run, Ouyang Yun naturally hopes that Guangxi will always be firmly in the hands of Li and Bai. Therefore, even if Bai Chongxi's demands are excessive, considering the overall situation, he will generously help him stabilize the situation in Guangxi.

After the Xuebing army entered Guangdong, some businessmen wanted to go to Guangxi to mine non-ferrous metals, but they never got the approval of the Guangxi military government.Ouyang Yun hit the right track and solved the resource problem that plagued the military industry and the electronics industry by the way. This can be regarded as good intentions and rewards, but it gave him no small surprise.

The private meeting with Bai Chongxi ended happily, and Ouyang Yun mentioned the few people around him who were clearly out of place.Regarding this, Bai Chongxi was also helpless: "The people in Dai Li are responsible for monitoring me and Zhang Kexia. Hehe, they are just clowns, so don't worry too much about it."

Ouyang Yun saw that it was as he had guessed, with a calm expression on his face, he secretly called Chang Gen over and told him that once these people behaved outrageously in Guangzhou, they would be eradicated mercilessly.

That night, Ouyang Yun hosted a private banquet for Bai Chongxi, Zhang Kexia, Su Zhijie and others. Bai Chongxi was relaxed because he achieved his expectations due to the balance between public and private interests. In the middle of it, he pushed the Jinshan down the jade pillar and whirred away.

Ouyang Yun knew that he was creating an opportunity for Zhang Kexia and Su Zhijie, and said sincerely: "President Bai is really a second person! He has a good character and good wine quality. Chief of Staff Zhang, Chief Su, let's continue."

Zhang and Su nodded with a smile.Zhang Kexia picked up a glass of wine and stood up and said to Guo Da and Huang Haifu: "Thanks to Commander Ouyang, Mr. Guo and Mr. Huang, Kexia borrowed flowers to present Buddha, and I respect you both!" After finishing speaking, he drank it down.

Guo Da's Xueyi division and Huang Haifu's mountain division were named by Ouyang Yun to go to Xuzhou. Guo and Huang had already been taken care of and did not dare to neglect. They stood up and said in unison: "Chief Zhang, you are welcome!" Then They drank the wine in the glass together.

Ouyang Yun and the other three sat down, poured wine for them in person, and said, "Xuzhou's strategic position is too important. The Japanese are bound to win this time, and it will definitely take a long time. This battle should be played wisely. The ultimate goal is to defend Xuzhou, but to consume the Japanese army's vital forces as much as possible, use time and space to offset the Japanese army's advantages, accumulate small victories into big victories, and buy time and experience for subsequent resistance. Guo Da, Huang Haifu, when you arrive in Xuzhou, you just Listen to Commander Zhang's orders alone. Remember, no matter what happens, his safety must be guaranteed. I don't care about the rest."

Guo Da and Huang Haifu looked at each other, stood up abruptly, and saluted, "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, we promise to complete the mission."

"Sit down, let me toast you a toast, and wish you a successful start——Chief of Staff Zhang, please tell us about the current situation in Xuzhou—"

"it is good……"
