Chapter 1544
The deeper the German delegation entered the area controlled by the Academy Army, the more curious Falkenhausen became about Ouyang Yun.At the same time, after reviewing a large amount of information, Ouyang Yun's favorability towards Falkenhausen and the delegation led by him also skyrocketed.In the history of China's Anti-Japanese War, there are some foreign friends who are worth remembering forever.Among these people, Falkenhausen is definitely at the forefront.Before that, although Ouyang Yun knew that Falkenhausen was the last head of the German military advisory group to aid China and had contributed to China's war of resistance, but he didn't know much about his deeds.And with the deepening of understanding, after knowing what contribution Falkenhausen made to China's war of resistance, he respected the old German man and began to really pay attention to this visit.

On April 4th, Ouyang Yun led Ji Xingwen, Li Tieshu, Chu Tiange, Guo Kui, He Zhengjiang, Tielinfei, Stern, and Chen Yuanyang who was stranded in Guangzhou and other high-ranking student soldiers in Riedan and other German stationed in Guangzhou. Accompanied by the staff of the consulate, they welcomed the German delegation led by Falkenhausen into the city of Guangzhou ten miles away.

Falkenhausen might not take it seriously if he hadn't seen too many miracles in the style of the cadet army.But now, the old man was excited.Ouyang Yun welcomed the German delegation with a high standard never seen before in the Xuebing Military Government, and even Reidan was surprised and puzzled.

What was the idea of ​​this oriental savage?Acting for the Chongqing government and the Japanese?Rider'an thought this way in his heart, but he did not forget his responsibilities on the surface, and followed Ouyang Yun to meet him. He was about to introduce himself, but he saw that Ouyang Yun had already walked quickly to Falkenhausen, stretching out his hands and saying : "General Falkenhausen, welcome to Guangzhou!"

Falkenhausen had already guessed the identity of the young Chinese general, and the excited old man was about to take the initiative to greet him, but he was still a step behind.

Ridian took a step slower, sweat dripping from his forehead.He felt more and more that Ouyang Yun had a conspiracy, so he hurriedly stood between the two of them and said to Falkenhausen: "General Iankenhausen, this is General Ouyang Yun, the highest officer of the Fujian-Guangdong-Qiong Special Zone and the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army. General Ouyang The commander is so enthusiastic, he took the generals of the Xuebing Army out of Guangzhou City to meet him ten miles away, general, have you met before?"

"No, no, this is the first time for me, the first time I've seen the commander-in-chief," the old man was a little incoherent with excitement, obviously he was a little flattered by this courtesy.However, after all, he had seen the big scene, he quickly calmed down, shook Ouyang Yun's hand twice and said: "Before I came here, I heard how young the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army is, but after seeing him, I I was still stunned——Commander-in-Chief, you are so young and promising. Standing with you, I suddenly developed a serious sense of inferiority!"

It is widely said that the Germans are more than calm but not humorous, but Falkenhausen does not seem to be one of them.The old man looked at Ouyang Yun carefully, and felt the enthusiasm and respect from the heart of the other party. He suddenly understood something, let go of his hand and continued: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please allow me to introduce you to other members of the delegation. .” Then he turned around and introduced the members to Ouyang Yun one by one.

"Welcome back to China!" "You can take this place as your second hometown!" "I've heard of you, thank you for risking your life to go to the front line of our Anti-Japanese War."... Ouyang Yun and the delegation The members shook hands one by one. To everyone's surprise, he seemed to be familiar with everyone in the delegation. The welcome words he said were not hypocritical and polite, but targeted.This made Reed'an feel more and more uneasy, and suddenly thought: "Could it be that the Eastern barbarians want to keep the delegation in Guangzhou? This is not possible."

Rider'an was secretly startled, and Ji Xingwen and the others were also at a loss.The cadets had no objection to going out of the city to meet the German delegation. After all, these people had helped China before and could be regarded as friends of the Chinese people.The Chinese have always known how to repay their kindness, and it is a rare opportunity to repay them with Li.It's just that now it seems that the commander-in-chief's approach has passed?
Falkenhausen introduced the members of the delegation to Ouyang Yun one by one, and Rideran also introduced the people behind Ouyang Yun to Falkenhausen and the others.Because Ouyang Yun deliberately showed [-]% courtesy, Ji Xingwen and others could only follow suit. However, when it was Stern's turn, an embarrassing situation still appeared.

Stern had already convinced himself in his heart that he must show a soldier's demeanor, but when he came to a member of the delegation named Benjamin, he still couldn't control his emotions. "I will not shake hands with an executioner who kills my people," Stern said to Reidan, turning his head away from Benjamin.

Benjamin's outstretched hand froze there, and the atmosphere of the scene froze at the same time.Almost everyone felt embarrassed, and among them, some members of the delegation could hardly hide their anger.Their sharp eyes glared at Stern. If Falkenhausen hadn't stopped them with his eyes, someone would have fought back on the spot.

Ouyang Yun had expected such a scene to happen, but underestimated the seriousness of the matter.He frowned slightly, and then said: "Everyone, everyone is a soldier, so I think everyone should understand the sacred meaning of the term soldier. A soldier must obey the will of the country, which is determined by the bounden duty of a soldier. But I I think this should not involve other things such as ethnic disputes, personal likes and dislikes. General Falkenhausen, what do you think?"

Falkenhausen thought for a while and replied calmly: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I agree with you. War is a stage for soldiers and has nothing to do with other people. Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, in order to express the sincerity of our visit, Your Excellency the Head of State specially asked me to I have brought you a gift, and let me express my sincerest greetings to you on his behalf. Major Benjamin, please go and get the gift from His Excellency the Führer."

Hitler's gift to Ouyang Yun was a brand new MP38|40 submachine gun.This is currently the best individual weapon for the German infantry, and it is also a product that best represents the level of German military industry.The information collected by the German intelligence agency about the student army is not detailed, such as Weiqing-style firearms.Of course, they may have done this deliberately in favor of Hitler.

Falkenhausen didn't want to take it out at this time.After seeing the power of the Wei Qing submachine gun, the "sincerity" represented by this gift has been greatly reduced.Falkenhausen originally wanted to present this gift on a more private occasion, but now in order to ease the atmosphere at the scene, he had no choice but to present the treasure in public.

Ouyang Yun took the MP38|40 from Benjamin, opened the safety and pulled the bolt very skillfully, then fired a shot into the sky, smiled at Falkenhausen and said: "Please express my thanks to Hitler for me. Very good submachine gun, I think I will keep it in my personal collection. Huh, this will be the second MP38|40 in my collection."
