Ouyang, Zhao Gang and Ma Jiujin were all wearing plain clothes for this trip, and they were wearing valuable Zhongshan outfits.

Walking into the Wanguo Hotel, there is a cafe on the first floor, and the rooms are the top floors.

Their purpose is to sit upright and successful people, gorgeously dressed socialites, wealthy children, etc., and they burst into laughter from time to time during conversation.

Ma Jiujin pulled his clothes and whispered, "Brig Commander, this Zhongshan suit is so expensive. Just one day's rent is enough for us to eat and drink in the next restaurant."

Ouyang laughed and scolded: "Okay, you kid don't get cheaper and behave like a good person. Haven't you seen Shunyou's reaction? That kid envies you."

"Hehe!" Ma Jiujin smiled embarrassedly, his proud expression on his face.

Zhao Gang walked to the front desk and said a few words. After a while, a waiter arranged a seat to sit by the window for Ouyang and the other two.

Ouyang glanced around and immediately saw that the guests at the tables next to him were all his own people.

Xiaozhuang, Long Xiaoyun, and several soldiers from the Wolf Warrior Squadron.

Zhao Gang whispered: "Brig Commander, just don't worry about keeping confidential work."

"Yeah!" Ouyang nodded slightly.

The reason why I chose the Wanguo Hotel in the French Concession was that Ouyang didn't want to attract too much attention.

Since the victory of the Guangzhou Defense Battle, Ouyang has appeared in the hospital where some "malice" people often appear.

Ouyang judged that these people should be from the Military Control Commission.

The war was won, and the people of the National Government were of course worried about Ouyang and the 512th Brigade and began to monitor it in a planned manner. Therefore, the hospital, the 512th Brigade's resident, and even other places in Guangzhou were not very safe and could easily leak information. Only this Wanguo Hotel located in the French Concession was more appropriate.

Ouyang did not want Mr. Zhang Peicheng, a patriotic overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, to be intercepted by the party and the country. You should know that Mr. Zhang Peicheng traveled across the ocean to Guangzhou, but he came here specifically to support the War of Resistance. The money he brought was also planned to donate to the State Government for the War of Resistance.

Once this matter is known to the government, it will have a bad impact on Ouyang himself, the 512th Brigade, and even our party and army.

Therefore, this matter does not allow Ouyang to be careless or careless.

Zhao Gangyan said: "Brig Commander, although Mr. Zhang Peicheng promised to meet us, it is not difficult for me to see from his words that the first choice in his heart is still the 12th Army of Commander Yu Hanmou, not us."

Ouyang nodded and said, "This is not difficult to understand. After all, the party and the country are orthodox, not to mention that Mr. Zhang Peicheng's ancestral home is also Guangdong. For the sake of emotion and reason, the Guangdong Army is his first choice."

"Brig Commander, it is still very difficult for us to get the support of Mr. Zhang Peicheng."

Zhao Gang frowned.

It is indeed quite difficult to get the support of Zhang Peicheng, or even the support of the Overseas Chinese Organization in Nanyang where Zhang Peicheng is located!

Judging from the historical knowledge that Ouyang has mastered, during the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, many anti-Japanese and national salvation organizations were established in Southeast Asia, Europe, America, Australia, and even Africa. In the Philippines alone, in half a month after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, there were as many as 367 patriotic groups of overseas Chinese compatriots to support China's War of Resistance Against Japan.

From 1937 to 1940, the amount of donations from overseas Chinese in various places alone reached more than 600 million legal tender, equivalent to nearly 100 million oceans. Moreover, not only the rich but also the working people in the lower class also saved money and donated enthusiastically.

At the same time, patriotic overseas Chinese compatriots from all over the country also actively subscribed to Guofuxing's government bonds. From 1937 to 1942 alone, the total amount exceeded 1.1 billion yuan.

In addition, patriotic overseas Chinese not only provided financial assistance to China's war of resistance, but also provided great assistance to China's scarce materials, medicines, fuel, grain, as well as technicians, mechanics, military industry, drivers and other talents.

Such a large piece of fat, 99% of the party and the country have entered the pockets of the party and the country, and there is nothing wrong with our party and the Eighth Route Army!

If all these money and aid were used in China's War of Resistance, Ouyang would have nothing to say!

However, this is not the case.

Tens of millions of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia saved a lot of money. They were not used by the National Government for the War of Resistance, but were embezzled and intercepted by the borers of some countries, and used for their personal enjoyment.

How could Ouyang bear this?

How can you ignore it?

"I must never watch these borers and absorb the hard work of patriotic overseas Chinese again."

Ouyang made a secret promise in his heart and made up his mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~

At 6 p.m. that day, Mr. Zhang Peicheng, a patriotic overseas Chinese in Nanyang, arrived as promised.

Zhang Peicheng was wearing a black and not brand new dress, a pair of glasses with a slightly old black frame, and a black top hat on his head. The overall dress looked very simple, and there was no gorgeous dress that a wealthy Singaporean businessman should have.

Immediately, Ouyang and Zhao Gang respected Zhang Peicheng in awe!

He devoted all his money and his life to the motherland!

This is a respectable person!

After introducing each other, Ouyang went straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, I am here to represent my party, the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and I came here to get your support and assistance."

It's straightforward and has no mistakes at all.

If you use the winding, it is an insult to Mr. Zhang Peicheng and a disrespect to patriotic overseas Chinese compatriots.

Ouyang disdained this and could not do such despicable things.

Zhang Peicheng said: "Your Party and Political Commissar Zhao have told me about this. I also know your sincerity and the political propositions of your Communist Party. At the same time, I also admire your 512th Brigade's performance in Guangzhou's fight against the Japanese invaders!"

At present, Ouyang and Zhao Gang said "It's too much", "It should be", and "I have no choice" to say such words.

"But I'm sorry to say that the strength of your party and your army is too small after all, and its role in the great cause of the war of resistance in the motherland is not a little different than that of the State Government and **. I think this 30,000 yuan of money and future aid will be better used in Commander-in-Chief Yu's 12th Army and can play a greater role."

Zhang Peicheng analyzed reasonably.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang and Zhao Gang were not angry.

Not qualified to be annoyed.

During the War of Resistance of the whole nation, Chairman Jiang was the first force in the War of Resistance. Millions of officers and soldiers sacrificed their lives and shed their blood, which is worthy of respect!

Although the Eighth Route Army also fought against the Japanese army, compared to the above, as Zhang Peicheng said, our Eighth Route Army is far from the scale of the battle and the tragic extent of the battle.

Zhao Gang said: "Mr. Zhang, our Eighth Route Army is a real anti-Japanese team, but you may not know much about our specific situation."

"The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army under our party's leadership fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders in the Taihang Mountains, North China, South China, and Central China, and our casualties were very large."

"The most critical factor is that we have no extra guns, no extra money, and no extra supplies. In the cold winter, most of our soldiers are wearing shabby single clothes, walking among the snow-capped mountains and ridges, facing the cold wind and heavy snow, overcoming many difficulties, and fighting with the Japanese."

"You can't even imagine that our hungry soldiers were fighting the Japanese with old fire, swords with rolled blades, and even bricks."

"So, the brigade commander and I were so shameless that we were eager to get the support of you and our compatriots in South China!"

Understand it with reason and move it with emotion.

Everything Zhao Gang said is true!

Suddenly, Zhang Peicheng was moved.

He stood up and bowed to Ouyang and Zhao Gang.

Seeing this, how could Ouyang and Zhao Gang accept it?

Zhang Peicheng said seriously: "My bow is not only for you two, but for passionate men like you. You are good!"

After pausing, he said, "I won't say much about the extra money I brought on this trip. The money I saved from my overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, saving a total of 30,000 yuan. I will make a decision to give you part of your party and your army."

Zhao Gang quickly said, "That's so thankful!"

"It's all right!"

Zhang Peicheng bowed and said, "I can support you 50,000 oceans to the greatest extent, and do my best. I hope you don't mind it. After all, not all of this money is owned by me, Zhang Peicheng. I hope you can understand it."

After saying that, Zhang Peicheng's face was also filled with shame.

50,000 oceans.

Zhao Gang thanked repeatedly.

Ouyang's brows frowned.

50,000 oceans is indeed a lot, which is a very considerable number, but what Ouyang thought in his heart, he swallowed all 30,000 oceans in one bite.

And it also concerns future support, which is the top priority!

Ouyang bowed to Zhang Peicheng and said, "Mr. Zhang, please listen to me?"
Chapter completed!
