Section 7 Sekter (1)
With the announcement of the treaty, China and Japan were in a state of great anger. Students from major universities in Peking rushed to the streets and demanded that the government remove Xiong Bin and He Yingqin and recover Rehe and the three eastern provinces. Major newspapers in Peking also reported that the military branches had betrayed the victory results of the anti-Japanese soldiers with their blood. On June 3, students in Peking rushed to Xinhua Gate and had a fierce conflict with the guards of the military police. Twenty-six students were injured in the picture, and more than one hundred students were arrested, leading to the Sixth and Third Tragedy.
Zhuang Jihua did not expect that the result of the Battle of the Great Wall not only did not calm the domestic political environment, but also made the situation more complicated. He was a little confused. In his opinion, it was already very good to achieve such a result. The Great Wall defense line was kept, and the Japanese invasion of China slowed down, but why did the people not accept it even more?
"This is not simple. Just give Mien to fight Mihou." Wu Ziniu explained it in a simple rural language. Looking at Zhuang Jihua's confused expression, he continued to explain: "In the past, it was believed that China's poor and weak could not win, but when you do this on the Great Wall, people's understanding changed, and it became that the government was unwilling to resist. The students believed that as long as they were willing to resist, we could win. So the responsibility of losing most of the Rehe River was naturally the government's treason. Fortunately, it was not you who signed the signature, and the students didn't know it, otherwise..."
Wu Ziniu shook his head with great gratitude, while Zhuang Jihua was stunned. He was speechless. He looked at Song Yunfei in a demand for help. Song Yunfei shrugged as he imitated him, saying that he had nothing to do.
The situation was similar to that in China. When the treaty was passed to Japan, it was also in an uproar in Japan. People protested everywhere, believing that Okamura Yasuji betrayed Japan and was not worthy of serving as the commander of the army. The lower-level officer of the Kanto Army broke into Okamura Yasuji's office in anger and asked him to apologize to the emperor. Muto Nobuyoshi came forward in time to stop the recklessness of the lower-level officers.
Muto Nobuyoshi understood that Okamura was given this time. It was precisely because of his double-layered mistakes in strategy and tactics that the Eighth Division was surrounded and Okamura had to sign the treaty. But Muto Nobuyoshi's protection was limited to the Kanto Army. Under the strong domestic public opinion, civil servants had long been dissatisfied with the Kanto Army, and civil servants took the opportunity to force the military headquarters to adjust the Kanto Army command. In mid-June, Muto Nobuyoshi was transferred back to China and served as the military officer of the Emperor's attendant, but he did not receive the title of marshal. Two months later, he died in Tokyo. Koiki Showa Okamura Yasuji was also transferred back to China. Koiki Aki became a military senator, and Okamura was still the Minister of the Second Department of the General Staff Headquarters under the protection of one night. The positions left by Hiraki Takashi, Nishio Shozuo, Itagaki Seishiro, and Itagaki were replaced by Kenji Doihara.
"It seems that we have to be prepared to fight." Zhuang Jihua told Du Yuming after receiving the personnel appointment letter for Japan. All the main generals appointed by the Kwantung Army were hawks. Commander Rikikari Takashi was the commander-in-chief of the front line during the 128th Songhu War. Nishio Shozuo, Itagaki Seishiro, and Kento Doihara were all the generals who advocated accelerating the pace of invasion of China. Du Yuming nodded while looking at the resumes of these people. He was a little worried. After the signing of the agreement, the front line began to retreat. The soldiers generally could not understand and were very resentful. On the contrary, the leadership of the military branch was optimistic, believing that after this battle, the Japanese army would not invade the territory again within three to five years.
"Guangting, please write me a review of the situation in the mainland in the next two years and the countermeasures you should take." Zhuang Jihua suddenly gave an order to Du Yuming.
Du Yuming agreed calmly, but he was wondering why he asked him to write it. Zhuang Jihua himself didn't write it?
"There is another thing that you need to do." Zhuang Jihua continued: "The guerrilla detachment we sent is returning to the front line of the Great Wall one after another. You and Wu Ziniu go together. Recruit people and go back to Sichuan with us."
"What?" Du Yuming asked in confusion: "The military branch is unwilling to accept them?"
"Chairman He means that these people are bandits, and incorporation is just a temporary solution. It is better to dismiss it. I fought for a while and finally agreed to incorporate them.
Du Yuming understood that with Zhuang Jihua's habit, he could never sit idly by and watch those volunteers in Rehe who were dismissed at his request. If he could, he would bring them all to Sichuan.
"If you don't want to participate, give them double severance payments," Zhuang Jihua sighed: "It was the best thing I did, but the principal has an order to let me be in Beiping with General Seckert."
According to the prior arrangement, Feng Seckert and his wife had the arrangement to travel to Peking, but Chiang Kai-shek instructed Zhu Jiahua to delay the time of Seckert's northward journey to the Treaty of Rehe so that Zhuang Jihua had time to accompany them, and at the same time he had time to convince them to accept Chiang Kai-shek's employment.
Zhuang Jihua's emotions have been going on these days. Even hearing about Secker's coming to Peking did not make him happy. A slogan was heard outside the window. Faced with this emotion, he really didn't know what to do. He did not agree with He Yingqin's suppression, nor did he agree with the students' accusations of treason or the demand for a full-scale war.
The evaluation given by Western journalists may be more accurate in this treaty. In the reports of Western journalists, this is a double victory for the Chinese team and diplomacy, but they generally judge that Japan's pace of invasion of China will slow down, which is something that Zhuang Jihua disagrees.
Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with this result. He basically fulfilled his pre-war commitment. All the troops consumed by each army remained in numbers. The troops that suffered heavy losses were rebuilt by each army themselves. The expenses were allocated from the funds obtained by the Southwest Development Team. Zhuang Jihua paid more than 10 million oceans for this.
"Cultural Revolution, when did you have a friendship with General Seckert?" Du Yuming saw that Zhuang Jihua was in a bad mood, stood up and walked to the window and pulled the window door over.
"That was still the case when he was in Germany. Guderian often took me to his house and attended his national defense salon, and met many senior German generals. He became familiar with him after a while." Zhuang Jihua said, remembering the fact that Guderian, who was enthusiastic at the Secette family, had a conflict with him. He was really accepted by this salon, and the debate over France's decision to allocate funds to build the Maginot Line. Among all the people, he and Guderian believed that the Maginot Line was not very useful. The future war was a decisive battle of tanks. He further believed that the Maginot Line represented the weakening of the French offensive spirit, and at the same time, it was through
The Maginot Line occupied a large amount of national defense funds, which would inevitably affect the construction of the French army, which was beneficial to Germany. In another salon, he said that the Maginot Line was paper-based and could be easily captured. For this reason, he had a map contest with Manstein, and naturally he won a great victory. From then on, he was truly accepted as a member of the national defense salon. But shortly after that, he took off his military uniform and went to business. For this reason, Seckert and Guderian made a special trip to his house to persuade him, but he eventually refused their kindness, but this experience gave him real respect for Seckert.
"He is a respectable old soldier." Zhuang Jihua finally added. However, he was not sure about Chiang Kai-shek's request. Based on his understanding of Seckert, he was a patriot. His words and deeds were based on the principle of safeguarding Germany's national interests. Without the consent of the German government, he would not accept Chiang Kai-shek's invitation.
"Wu Ziniu, after you go, you should pay attention to recruiting people with special abilities, such as outstanding marksmanship, good at climbing, and lurking makeup," Zhuang Jihua said, looking at Song Yunfei, who had been silent. Song Yunfei knew that this was a confession for his special forces, but he didn't understand why Zhuang Jihua wanted Wu Ziniu to go, rather than the commander of his troops.
"Originally, Yunfei was the most suitable, but those people didn't know him. You and I have been to Chadong. They knew you. When you went there, they knew that this was what I mean, not what the military branch meant." Zhuang Jihua looked like both a supplement and an explanation.
"The total number of troops attacking behind enemy lines is about 10,000," Zhuang Jihua calculated silently: "Even if there is any loss, there will be seven or eight thousand people left. Guangting, if you bring three million oceans, double severance payment may not be enough. Anyone who is willing to leave will have 100 oceans per person, and 200 oceans per person who dies."
"So high!" Du Yuming was very surprised. He nodded Zhuang Jihua and immediately opposed: "This is not OK, too high. Cultural Revolution, I know what you think, but you have thought about the troops. They must know that the pension of the Volunteer Army is so high, and they must mutiny. If not, it will definitely not work."
Zhuang Jihua thought about it and felt that what Du Yuming said made sense. If this was to be spread, the sentiment of the army would definitely be affected. It would be nothing in normal times, but the situation on the Great Wall still recurs, and there are still many opportunities to require soldiers to contribute.
"Okay, you can do it, but try to give it as much as possible," Zhuang Jihua suddenly had an idea: "You can calculate the money and reward the leaders of their rewards, and secretly tell them that this is a pension for the fallen soldiers, so that they can find a way to send it to their families."
This method is obviously feasible. Du Yuming shook his head helplessly: "Cultural Revolution, are you too much money? I don't know how to spend it? Is it easy for overseas Chinese to donate this little money? Just give it this way, it's better to use it to build two roads. Besides, they don't spend money to fight. If you want to develop this habit, what should you do in the future? What should you do after spending the money?"
