Since then, resolute resistance against the war has become the strongest voice of the unification of the Chinese nation!

The main theme of the conversation was to show all the people the determination of the National Government to fight against the war; at the same time, they called on local forces such as Song Mingxuan and the peace-minded factions of the National Government to unite in the war of resistance.

In the end, it also left a step for "peace talks" to the Japanese government.

The National Government immediately set out four bottom lines of peace and war and gave Japan an ultimatum:

(1) No settlement shall infringe upon China's sovereignty and territorial integrity;

(2) The administrative organization of Hebei-Chahar cannot allow any illegal changes;

(III) Local officials sent by the central government, such as Song Zheyuan, chairman of the Hebei-Chahar Government Affairs Committee, cannot be allowed to request replacement;

(IV) The area where the 29th Army is now stationed cannot be subject to any restrictions.

After the conversation, the Kuomintang and the public groups were enthusiastic and advocated war, but the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other specific working departments advocated caution.

The National Government then waited for response from all parties, especially the Japanese side.

...

Two days later.

Japanese military officer Seiichi Kita arrived to meet with Minister of Military Affairs, Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Chief of Staff Cheng Qian, etc., and asked: The Chinese Army went north and the Air Force's mobilization was a challenge to Japan!

He Yingzhi told Xi Duan: the national army is all national army, and it doesn’t matter whether the Central Army or other army, the 29th Army is also national army; the movement of the national army is purely self-defense, and if the Japanese side retreats, China can further consider it.

When Kita Seiichi left, he said intimidatingly: If China thinks that it is necessary to wait for the Japanese army to retreat before the national army retreats, the situation will inevitably deteriorate and will not be cured in the future. I hope China will pay careful attention.

On the same day, the National Government secretly dispatched troops to North China.

After the talk in Lushan, Song Mingxuan in Peking still compromised and gave in exchange for peace and security, and took a series of measures to weaken the war preparedness.

Song Mingxuan repeatedly called Nanjing, demanding that the Central Committee of the National Government withdraw troops entering Hebei.

Chang Kaishen gave severe criticisms for this.

In contrast, the Japanese army has stepped up military deployment in an all-round way.

On the 19th, nearly 10,000 Japanese 20th Division (Section A) led by division commander Fumisaburo Kawakishima, arrived in Tianjin from Longshan, North Korea, and assembled in Tangshan and Shanhaiguan.

The next day, the main force of the Kwantung Army's Independence 11th Brigade arrived at the Koryo Camp.

At this point, all the first batch of Japanese reinforcements arrived at the designated location and formed an encirclement of Peking.

The top-secret information captured by the "Blue Bird" concerns the strategic deployment of the Japanese army, and has been verified one by one.

The Ministry of Military Affairs was shocked and praised the intelligence work of the Secret Service.

Dai Chunfeng, who was excited, sent a telegram to Shanghai and praised the "Blue Bird" independent lurking group, and said that he would be rewarded.

...

Three days later, Song Mingxuan from Peking submitted three peace talks to the Japanese side.

The three items proposed by Song Mingxuan are: the 29th Army apologized to the Japanese army; China did not garrison in the city walls of Lugou Bridge and the Longwang Temple; and completely banned anti-Japanese groups.

On the same day, Cheng Qianfan visited Imamura Hitaro.

When the two talked about the war in North China, Imamura Hitaro was quite excited in his words, saying that the Japanese army was ready to win with one blow.

Cheng Qianfan sent a telephone call to the Northwest Headquarters and the Daichu Seat in Lushan overnight, sending a warning that the Japanese army was preparing for a full-scale war.

late at night.

Chang Kaishen called Song Mingxuan again, angrily scolding his passive preparations for war.

The Northwest Headquarters also sent a message to Peking, and spoke sincerely, reminding Song Mingxuan to be careful of the Japanese army's full invasion of China.

Song Mingxuan ignored it and said that the peace talks between Japan were still normal, and he still insisted on the Central Army to evacuate from Hebei.

Two days later, the Japanese army showed their fangs.

Song Mingxuan woke up as if he was dreaming and found that he had fallen into the trap of the Japanese army. He realized that "the war was inevitable", so he could only resist with all his strength, but it was too late.

Two days later, all the Japanese military combat deployment was completed, and all the agreements signed by China and Japan since the incident were torn down; and a general attack on Pingjin was launched.

...

July 29th.

Bai Ruolan, Xiaobao, and Li Hao returned from their hometown in Jiangshan to worship their ancestors, and Cheng Qianfan picked up people at the Shanghai Railway Station.

"Thank you for your hard work, good wife." Cheng Qianfan hugged Bai Ruolan and said in her ear.

Bai Ruolan gently hit Cheng Qianfan and got into the car.

Just as I was about to drive the car and leave.

A newspaper boy shouted, waving the newspaper in his hand.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"

"General Tong Linge of the Twenty-ninth Army and General Zhao Dengyu died for his country!"

"The Japanese army entered Peiping, and Pingjin fell!"

Cheng Qianfan waved his hand, and Li Hao got out of the car and went to buy newspapers.

Cheng Qianfan sat in the car, pulled up the curtain, holding the newspaper with trembling hands.

The heart is like a knife.

Tears fell like rain.

...

The next day.

Cheng Qianfan led all members of the "Blue Bird" independent lurking team to secretly arrive at the Longhua Security Command.

"Sitting." Cheng Qianfan was very surprised when he saw Dai Chunfeng. He thought it was Qi Wu coming, but he didn't expect that Dai Chunfeng would come in person and immediately salute him respectfully.

The rest of the people were also shocked and hurriedly followed and saluted.

Dai Chunfeng patted Cheng Qianfan on the shoulder, "Qianfan, thank you for your hard work."

Cheng Qianfan's eyes were filled with tears, "For the seat, be loyal to the leader, where is his duty!"

"Very good, very good." Dai Chunfeng nodded with relief, waved his hand, "Change dress up."

"yes!"

Cheng Qianfan and others quickly changed their clothes.

Looking at Cheng Qianfan in a straight military uniform, Dai Chunfeng nodded with satisfaction, "He is full of heroic posture, the country is in a prosperous city! Very good!"

"Be loyal to the leader and be loyal to your seat!" Cheng Qianfan led everyone and said salutingly.

"'Blue Bird' group." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice.

"I am here." Everyone stood attentively and saluted.

"Commissioner Jun Order!"

With a bang, everyone stood upright.
Chapter completed!
