Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 77 Zhang Zizhong's Calculation
If the 29th Army wants to guard the land of Yicha, the importance of Tanggukou is self-evident-not to mention its commercial value, it is considered from a strategic point of view, as the throat of the Haihe River, it is known as the "Gyeonggi Gateway" Tanggu is absolutely not to be missed.

After the Second Opium War, the Qing government opened up Tianjin as a treaty port under the pressure of the big powers. Although it was an act of losing power, it also made Tianjin's shipping industry develop. , accelerated this development, and in 1880 the Jingshan Railway was extended from Tanggu to Tianjin, all of which provided favorable conditions for the development of modern industry in Tianjin and made it possible for Tianjin to become an industrial center in northern China.

Two people have to be mentioned here. One is the famous patriotic industrialist Fan Xudong. It was he who opened the Jiuda Refined Salt Factory in Tanggu in 1914. Three years later, he built the first soda factory in Asia - Yongli Soda plant, so that Tianjin gradually became a chemical base in northern China; another person is a famous chemist, Dr. Hou Debang who created the Hou's soda production method - this person can be called the pioneer of China's chemical industry, it was under his leadership Under such circumstances, the "Red Triangle" brand of soda ash produced by Yongli Soda Factory was once famous all over the world.

Ouyang Yun valued Tanggu so much, on the one hand because of its special geographical conditions, it was the only entrance to the sea that the 29th Army could use, and on the other hand because of its special status in the field of China's chemical industry.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, he said sternly: "I can't guarantee that other countries won't be able to manufacture other things, but it should be difficult for them to master the technology of penicillin within a year or two. And the importance of penicillin is It goes without saying that we can define it as a 'strategic material', and then make a fuss about export quotas, so that they can actively cooperate with us in implementing military control on Tanggukou."

Export quota is a new term, but the meaning is very simple, and everyone can understand it as soon as they hear it. Song Zheyuan smiled and asked: "You mean to blackmail those foreigners with the amount of exports?"

"Ah."

Zhao Dengyu frowned and asked: "But what about the Japanese? Could it be sold to them too? That's a problem for raising tigers—I read the description of penicillin, which is particularly effective in treating injuries such as infections. Does that mean that We are healing the enemy, helping them recover?!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Song Zheyuan and then at Ouyang Yun, wondering how they would deal with this matter.

Song Zheyuan felt that this problem was very difficult, but he had already communicated with Ouyang Yun before, and felt that selling to the Japanese was not a bad thing, and thought it would be better for him to explain, so he kicked the ball to Ouyang Yun and said: "This matter is Ouyang Yun. Take responsibility, let’s listen to his opinion.”

After Ouyang Yun went back last night, he thought about this matter carefully, his thoughts were mature, and he said with a smile: "The Japanese must sell what they sell. If we have money but don't make money, then we will be fools. However, The goods given to them must be treated differently."

"Oh, you don't want to shoddy, do you?"

"This is a commercial secret, bosses, please forgive me for not being able to say it."

Song Zheyuan said: "Ouyang, the Japanese are not fools, and their technological level is quite high. If they see through it, the loss outweighs the gain!"

"Military seat, I have my own measure. When I go to the United States this time, I will find some experts to discuss this amount in detail."

"Is Ouyang going to America?" Someone asked curiously after hearing this.

Song Zheyuan said: "As I said, our brigade commander Ouyang is not simple. The president of Harvard University in the United States invited him to give lectures."

"Ah! A foreign university invites him to give lectures?" The eyes of the people looking at Ouyang Yun couldn't help but change again. They no longer peeped into his thoughts, and looked at his smooth face with a bit of research. look.

Ouyang Yun didn't want to show off the limelight, but he couldn't say that the reason why he was able to enjoy this treatment was the result of plagiarism, so he smiled modestly and explained: "The real purpose of my going to America is to buy some Equipment. Our country’s industrial base is too poor, and some important equipment can only rely on imports, and there is no way.”

When everyone thought about it, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the current state of the country. Looking at Ouyang Yun again, it was like a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law.

Just like various meetings in modern society, there must be a big banquet after the meeting. After the military meeting of the 29th Army was over, Song Zheyuan waved his hand and opened four tables in the living room of the military headquarters. The members sat at three tables outside, and Ouyang Yun participated in the highest-level banquet since time travel.

In the old days, soldiers liked to drink alcohol. Song Zheyuan is a little older. Although he has begun to pay attention to health, he is no longer as addicted to the contents of the cup as he was when he was young, but he still has the ability to mobilize his subordinates' enthusiasm for drinking. No, there is always a little in his cup. , but already let other people divide up three jars of sorghum.As a junior, Ouyang Yun had to show some performance in order to win the goodwill of the generals present. If he hadn't mastered some methods to prevent drunkenness, he would have already been lying down.

After the three jars of wine went down, he ran to the toilet twice and scratched his throat twice. Even so, he still drank too much, felt dizzy, his feet were light, and he didn't have so many scruples when talking, and his voice started to grow louder .

Seeing him like this, Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhian and the others couldn't help but smile slightly, and then the former shouted loudly: "Xiao Lizi, the commanders in the army are here today, why don't you come over to toast?" ? If you want to have a bright future in the future, you can get a lot of support from the officers!"

"Little Lizi!?" In a daze, Ouyang Yun thought he was drinking in the palace, or why even the eunuchs came out?When Zhang Zizhong's adjutant named Li Mangzhu ran over to toast everyone, he realized that this little plum was not that little plum. This was Zhang Zizhong's nickname for his adjutant, so he grinned at that time.

Ouyang Yun present here is the youngest and the least qualified. Toasts at the wine table are always based on seniority. Li Mangzhu is obviously a drinker. After turning around, Zhang Zizhong introduced him to Ouyang Yun and had already drank six bowls.Looking at Ouyang Yun, he raised the bowl that had just been filled with wine in his hand, and said: "Mr. Ouyang, I have heard of your name as 'Anti-Japanese Two Heroes' for a long time. With this bowl, I respect you for eliminating bandits for the country and showing that I am a Chinese man." True color!" After speaking, he handed the bowl to his mouth and began to drink vigorously, and soon the bowl bottomed out, he lit the bottom of the bowl, and quietly looked at Ouyang Yun.

Ouyang Yun was originally a generous person. According to his comrades in the special forces, drinking wine was super refreshing. He stood up and waved his hand, saying: "Thank you!" Then he picked up the bowl and poured it Get up, and then also showed the empty bottom of the bowl.

Li Mangzhu said hello, filled the bowls for both of them, raised his own wine bowl and said, "This bowl is for me as a subordinate to respect the officer," and then without saying a word, he gurgled again. Finished.

Ouyang Yun didn't expect that there would be a second bowl. He had already drank the first bowl so that his chest was on fire, and his throat was steaming. He thought that he would have to get down on the ground after drinking the second bowl. He showed embarrassment on his face and said: "We are all brothers. You are older than me. Logically speaking, I have to call you big brother. Brother Li, my younger brother has a limited drinking capacity. Can you accommodate me?"

Before Li Mangzhu could speak, Zhang Zizhong laughed and said, "Ouyang, since you said that we are brothers, how can the elder brother toast the younger brother's wine to be more accommodating? Otherwise, let Xiao Li drink this bowl of wine for you. But, your cadet brigade is about to expand, so there must be insufficient manpower, do you want to help your elder brother and let him be a deputy brigade commander or something?" He slapped his chest, "Xiao Lizi is also a regiment under my command. Commander, I have assigned all the veterans of his regiment to your apprentice brigade, how about it?"

Ouyang Yun didn't expect that there was such an article hidden behind the toast, so he didn't know what to do for a while, and said with a smile: "The student brigade is full of students with no experience in war. If you can get elite soldiers from your veterans , Naturally, it is a wishful thing - but my brigade commander is appointed by the military seat, so the military seat must decide on such a big matter."

Zhang Zizhong immediately turned his attention to Song Zheyuan, and said with a smile: "Everyone is from the 29th Army, and Li Mangzhu also grew up under the watchful eye of the military seat. He won't have any opinions."

Song Zheyuan was not a fool, since Zhang Zizhong said that he wanted Li Mangzhu to be the deputy brigade commander of the cadet brigade, he knew what he had in mind.The independent brigade is a new force, and the brigade commander Ouyang Yun is so capable. If this force is close to him, then if a war breaks out in the future, it will be equivalent to an extra strong support.He frowned slightly, and was thinking about how to solve this difficult problem. Feng Zhi'an picked up the wine bowl and said to Zhang Zizhong in one fell swoop: "Old Zhang, the military seat also said in the meeting just now that Tianjin's defense is the most arduous, so I don't think so." We have transferred manpower from your division." He turned to Song Zheyuan and said, "Army seat, our division has more than enough troops to guard Beiping. I think it is better to transfer Ji Xingwen and his regiment to the student brigade. The commander of Ji Xingwen has rich experience in leading troops. He has also fought tough battles, and if he serves as the deputy brigade commander, he will definitely complement the brigade commander Ouyang and turn the student brigade into an iron army."

Feng Zhi'an and Zhang Zizhong were so eager to put their subordinates into the student brigade, so naturally they didn't have any good intentions.In their opinion, due to the existence of Li Tieshu's former 51st Army Guards Third Company, and Ouyang Yun's young age and outsider, the independent brigade's nearly [-]-strong team is naturally better controlled by their own people.

The officialdom is the field of intrigue. Most of the veterans of the 29th Army present here have experienced the scenes of warlords in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and they all know what determines their destiny-people and guns.

Song Zheyuan saw that Feng Zhi'an had also made a move, and thought about it. If Ouyang Yun was really allowed to control a team of so many soldiers in the Xuebing Brigade by himself, it would not be very safe. It would be a good thing to mix in some of his own people, so he played tricks and said : "The student brigade now has a total of more than 600 people. It is necessary to transfer people from other troops, but since Ouyang is the brigade commander, let him make up his mind."

Although Ouyang Yun had drunk a little too much, but fortunately his head was still clear. Just now when he heard Zhang Zizhong's words, he inevitably felt resentment in his heart. It should be a man who changed his mind and said: "The military seat and the two division commanders love the student brigade so much, but I will be disrespectful to you. I think I should invite the regiment commander to come to our brigade. However, the candidate for the deputy brigade commander I have already discussed with the military seat, and Li Tieshu, an old man from the academy brigade, will be the chief of staff, then I will ask the head of the regiment Ji to be the chief of staff, and at the same time be the commander of a regiment, military seat, do you think this is good?"

Song Zheyuan thought he knew Ouyang Yun well, and was afraid that he would see through Zhang Zizhong and others' Xiaojiujiu, who would use the strength of alcohol to play drunk, and then it would not end well. Hearing what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, saying : "You are the commander of the brigade, so naturally you have the final say on the affairs of the student brigade, um, let's settle this matter like this."

The position of chief of staff is higher than that of deputy brigade commander. Besides, Ji Xingwen can also serve as the head of a regiment. Naturally, Feng Zhian has no objection to this arrangement.It's just that Zhang Zizhong, who proposed this idea first, but Feng Zhi'an picked the fruit, inevitably felt depressed.However, Ouyang Yun got a strong general like Ji Xingwen, so he couldn't care about this much anymore. When he was in a good mood, he actually drank the wine that Li Mangzhu respected himself, which made Zhao Dengyu and others repeatedly Exclaimed: The 29th Army has another wine general.
