War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 339: Things in the circle are too messy! (Thanks to 'Cricket and Egg' for the reward!)
Why did Xu Chaoyang have to bite Hu Shi?
It's very simple. In this era, with Xu Chaoyang's background, it is almost a pipe dream to use his prestige to attract intellectuals by waving the silver bills in his hand. This is the main reason why he still cannot recruit real talents even though he already has the Dagu Shipyard.

So, is there no suitable university in Tianjin to help Dagu Shipyard conduct research?
Yes, there are, such as Nankai.

But, Nankai University is not doing well at the moment.

Nankai is a private school founded by Zhang Boling. Although it now has thirteen subjects mainly divided into three departments: the College of Arts, the College of Science, and the College of Business, and has also established electrical engineering, the Department of Chemistry was only established in the past two years. There are only about a hundred faculty members and more than 400 students.

Before the establishment of Southwest United University with Peking University and Tsinghua University, Nankai University was still very weak in the university field and was not enough to satisfy Xu Chaoyang's greed. The key point is that he has no relationship with them, and it is hard to say whether they will help him... How can it be so appropriate for the current situation as Hu Shilai.

Of course, what Xu Chaoyang wanted was not just guns, ships, tanks and armored vehicles. He also wanted radar, telegraph, telephone and a series of other things that were hailed as high-tech in that era.

In the past, he didn't dare to think about it because he had no money. Now that he has money, he naturally has to look higher. Hu Shi has come to him on his own, so how can he run away?
If you didn't come, Xu Chaoyang would have been thinking of tricking you. After all, you are the future president of Peking University!

So he appeared again at the Peking Military Branch to meet He Yingqin. This time Xu Chaoyang came to ask for an order, an order issued by He Yingqin himself, ordering Peking University to help Dagu Shipyard research the "General Liu's Rifle" and improve the performance of military equipment. After all, with this thing in hand, he, Xu Chaoyang, could speak more confidently.

However, no one expected He Yingqin to be so busy. He had been waiting in the courtyard next to the Peking Military Branch for a full hour, but the person he summoned had not yet arrived.

At this moment, a person whom he didn't know at all, but who knew him, walked into the room.

"Captain Xu, right?"

This person was very enthusiastic. As soon as he entered the door, Xu Chaoyang recognized him and immediately greeted him, "I've heard of your name for a long time!"

"you are?"

Xu Chaoyang even stood up and straightened his military uniform before going over to greet him.

"My surname is Yin, Yin Rugeng."

Yin Rugeng!
One of the culprits of the five-province autonomy, a die-hard traitor nailed to the pillar of shame by later generations?
"Oh~ Commander Yin."

Xu Chaoyang didn't know how to talk to him. The key point was that he was not wearing a military uniform, but a casual suit. It was obviously more appropriate to call him "Sir".

"Hi!"

Yin Rugeng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this. With your achievements in the anti-Japanese battlefield, I am willing to call you commander."

Xu Chaoyang suddenly felt something was wrong. He didn't think it was just a polite remark. It seemed that he really had a kind of respect for the anti-Japanese hero in his heart, but why did he start to cause chaos in the capital in 1935?
"Captain Xu."

As the two men started talking, a messenger came in: "Captain Xu, Commander He wants to see you."

Xu Chaoyang smiled and pointed outside the door. Yin Ru nodded repeatedly and said, "Go quickly, don't make Chief He wait anxiously." The two of them passed each other after only meeting once.

When Xu Chaoyang walked along the path under the eaves of the Beiping Military Branch and entered the main door of He Yingqin's office, he clearly heard a sentence standing at the door when the messenger reported again: "Commander He, Commander Xu is here... In addition, Commander Yin Rugeng is here too."

"What is he here for?"

"Let Xu Chaoyang in first."

Xu Chaoyang stepped into the room and saw He Yingqin's frowning expression gradually relaxing after seeing him. This expression alone proved the relationship between him and Yin Rugeng.

"Commander He!"

Xu Chaoyang straightened up and saluted. He Yingqin sat in his original position without moving and joked, "Isn't this our groom? Why are you here instead of preparing for the wedding?"

Xu Chaoyang then quickly reached into his pocket and said, "Officer He, please be the master of ceremonies for me."

When He Yingqin saw the wedding invitation, he looked up at Xu Chaoyang again and asked, "Right now, the whole country is calling me, He Yingqin, a traitor who betrayed North China. Aren't you afraid of getting a bad reputation?"

This question is too difficult to answer. If you say you are not afraid, that means you admit that He Yingqin is a traitor; if you say you are afraid, that means you are a bully.

"Chaoyang doesn't understand the current situation or politics, but he knows that Chief He has helped Chaoyang!"

This flattery brought out emotions on He Yingqin's face.

In fact, Xu Chaoyang did not fully understand He Yingqin's expression at the time, but the subsequent conversation made him understand everything completely.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" He Yingqin said this almost with disdain, as if Xu Chaoyang always came to him for something, and he was already impatient. But to Xu Chaoyang, these words sounded as if the relationship between the two of them had become much closer.

But the next sentence was equivalent to telling Xu Chaoyang that no matter what request he made today, He Yingqin would agree: "Did you see Yin Rugeng in the courtyard next door just now?" "I said hello. I don't know him, and it wouldn't be nice not to say hello."

"Yeah." He Yingqin nodded: "Stay away from him."

At this second, all the memories about Yin Rugeng in Xu Chaoyang's mind exploded, as if all the information about the character he had seen in his previous life appeared before his eyes, because He Yingqin's words clearly had a specific meaning!
Yin Rugeng studied in Japan at his own expense in 1904;
He returned to China in 1909 and joined Huang Xing in the Xinhai Revolution;
After the failed revolution in 1913, he went to Japan again and entered Waseda University to major in politics, which was nothing at the time, but nowadays seems to be a very dangerous subject;
In 1916, he returned to China for the second time and served as secretary of the House of Representatives of the Li Yuanhong Restoration Congress, and later became a special commissioner to Japan;

In 1920, he colluded with spies to set up the Xinnong Reclamation Company in Funing.

We have to pause here. Judging from his resume alone, he has become a traitor. What's more, it is said that this guy even married a Japanese woman.

In 1925, he served as the director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Northeastern Guo army. After the defeat of Guo's army, he hid in the Xinmin Japanese Embassy and fled to the ruined island under the escort of the Japanese soldier Imai Fusatarou. From then on, he escaped the revengeful slaughter of the Northeastern King.

At this point, anyone with eyesight can see that Yin Rugeng has become a die-hard traitor.

But in 1928, he became a special commissioner to Japan. In October, he returned to China and became the secretary of the Songhu government. In December, he was appointed director of the Navigation Department of the Ministry of Communications. Later, he became a counselor of the Army, Navy and Air Force Command. This rocket-like speed of climbing up the ranks may have been achieved before all the people in his original unit were recognized. If there was no one controlling this, who would believe it? In addition, the chief of staff of the Army, Navy and Air Force Command at that time was He Yingqin.

In 1932, he participated in the signing of the Songhu Armistice Agreement.

This year, he was transferred from Songhu to Beijing to participate in the signing of the Tanggu Agreement.

My goodness, there really is no one left in Peking, so we have to transfer people from Songhu.

But this resume is so strange. Why is it so strange? It’s strange that everyone seems to be blind. They know that it was the devil who sent him to Japan after Guo’s army was defeated, but they still use him.

This is also the most puzzling thing for Xu Chaoyang when he reads history.

The Blue Shirts Society is full of idlers? Don't you know that his surname Yin is very popular?

The problem is that after He Yingqin said "stay away from him", he was afraid that his beloved general would not understand, so he specifically said: "In the 15th year of the Republic of China, he was the director of the headquarters' Shanghai office and also served as an accompanying translator."

In 1925, the th year of the Republic of China, Xu Chaoyang remembered most clearly that the two teaching regiments of the Whampoa Military Academy were organized into the First Army, and the diary writer became the army commander. Who could a person like Yin Rugeng serve as an accompanying translator for?

If we turn back the history, the one who loved to write a diary went to the small island in 1906, and Yin Ru went there in 1904. The circle of overseas students at that time was not large, so how could these two people not know each other?
Let's go back to history. Who leaked the news that He Yingqin secretly signed the Tanggu Agreement with Japan?

Why was the secret leaked when Yin Rugeng, who participated in the Songhu Armistice Agreement, was transferred to Beijing to use his experience in diplomacy with Japan to handle the matter?
Expanding our perspective, in the world that Xu Chaoyang lived in, the 29th Army had made a name for itself at Xifengkou, and Xu Chaoyang had repelled the Japanese invaders at the Battle of Miyun. At that time, He Yingqin treated newspapers in various parts of Peiping as his circle of friends, appearing in them almost every day, and his status was growing day by day.

In this case, who would benefit the most from leaking the Tanggu Agreement?
If the Tanggu Agreement had not been leaked, would Old Feng dare to point at He Yingqin and call him a traitor during a meeting?
If they hadn't been sabotaging him from behind, would He Yingqin have stood up and insisted on "rescuing by force" after the "Xi'an" incident? The scheming and means of this internal struggle were amazing!

Of course, these are just Xu Chaoyang's guesses, but as he continued to guess based on this idea, it seemed that everything was going smoothly.

"Did you understand?"

After Xu Chaoyang stopped talking, He Yingqin raised his voice and asked.

Xu Chaoyang immediately shook his head: "I don't understand, but I will do whatever you say."

If Xu Chaoyang could understand this, he would not be able to enter He Yingqin's office!
Still want to station troops in Dagu? Dream on!
"You're not smart." He Yingqin looked at him and cursed, but his face was full of smiles. You couldn't figure out whether he hoped that Xu Chaoyang would be smart or not.

Fortunately, Xu Chaoyang came from another world. Otherwise, he would not be able to survive in his current position. Who could stand guessing riddles every day?
"I won't be the master of ceremonies. I think Deputy Director Li is quite suitable..." He Yingqin also thought about Xu Chaoyang, fearing that his presence would have too much of an impact: "No, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?" Only then did he remember to ask the main question.

"Ah, Commander He, I would like to ask you to issue an order to let Peking University..."

He Yingqin walked back to his desk after hearing what Xu Chaoyang said, picked up a piece of paper and pen, and said, "You still need me to do this for you? Can't you build up some connections yourself?"

But the speed of approving this order was faster than any other decree submitted by any department...

Xu Chaoyang was holding the order written by He Yingqin, but he was thinking: "If I go through Deputy Director Li's connections to approve this order, maybe the order won't be approved. Only when I have connections like you can I have your influence!"

He Yingqin looked at Xu Chaoyang standing beside him with a silly smile, raised his head and glanced at him: "Is there anything else? If there is anything else you need my help with at the wedding, it's not too late to ask now."

Xu Chaoyang was still smiling, and he could only smile...
