With the promulgation of the treaty, the whole country of China and the two countries was in an uproar, and students from various colleges and universities in Peiping rushed to the streets to march to demand that the political axe remove Xiong Bin and He Yingqin and recover the three provinces of Rehe and Dongdong. On 3 June, the students of Peiping stormed the Xinhua Gate and clashed fiercely with the military police, in which 26 students were injured and more than 100 students were arrested. Three tragic incidents.

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 made the situation more complicated. He didn't understand a little, in his opinion, it was already very good to be able to achieve such a result, the Great Wall defense line was preserved, and the pace of his invasion of China had slowed down, but why was it even more unacceptable to the people?

"It's not easy, Shengmi Endou Mi Hatred." Wu Ziniu explained very simply in a rural dialect, looking at Zhuang Jihua's confused look, he continued to explain: "I used to think that China was poor and weak and couldn't win, but as soon as you did it on the Great Wall, people's understanding changed, and it became that the political axe was unwilling to resist, and the students thought that as long as they were willing to resist, we could win." Therefore, the responsibility for losing most of Rehe is naturally a political axe and a traitor. Fortunately, it wasn't you who signed it, and the student didn't know it yet, otherwise.... ”

Wu Ziniu shook his head very happily, Zhuang Jihua was dumbfounded, he was completely speechless, he looked at Song Yunfei for help, Song Yunfei shrugged his shoulders like him, and said that he was helpless.

The situation in China is similar, the treaty reached the book, and there was an uproar in the country, and the people protested, believing that Okamura Ninji had betrayed the book and was not worthy of being the commander of the army, and the junior officers of the Kwantung Army broke into Okamura Ninji's office very angrily and demanded that he apologize to the emperor, and Muto Nobuyoshi stepped forward in time to stop the recklessness of the junior officers.

Muto Nobuyoshi understood that Okamura had received it on his behalf this time, and it was precisely because of his strategic and tactical mistakes that the Eighth Division was besieged, and Okamura had to sign this paper treaty. However, Muto Nobuyoshi's protection was limited to the Kwantung Army, and under the strong public opinion in the country, the civilian officials, who had long been dissatisfied with the Kwantung Army, took the opportunity to force the military department to adjust the command structure of the Kwantung Army. In mid-June, Muto Nobuyoshi was transferred back to Japan to serve as the emperor's attendant military attaché, but he was not awarded the title of marshal, and two months later, he died of depression in Tokyo. Koiso Kuni Showa and Okamura Ninji were also transferred back to Japan, Koiso Kuniaki was appointed military counselor, and Okamura remained the head of the Second Department of the General Staff Headquarters under the protection of his companions. They were succeeded by Takashi Hishikari, Toshizo Nishio, and Seishiro Itagaki, and the positions left by Itagaki were replaced by Kenji Dohihara.

"Looks like we're going to have to get ready to fight." Zhuang Jihua said to Du Yuming after he got the personnel appointment letter in this book. The main newly appointed generals of the Kwantung Army were all hawks, and the commander Takashi Hishigari was the front-line commander-in-chief during the 128th Songhu War of Resistance against Japan, and Nishio Toshizo, Itagaki Seishiro, and Tohihara Kenji were all cadres who advocated speeding up the pace of aggression against China.

Du Yuming nodded while looking at the resumes of these people, he was a little worried, after the peace treaty was signed, the departments on the front began to retreat, and the soldiers generally could not understand and were very resentful, but on the contrary, the leadership of the army branch was optimistic, thinking that after this battle, the army would not violate the border again in three or five years.

"Guangting, you write a study of the situation in the next two years and the countermeasures that should be taken to me." Zhuang Jihua suddenly gave an order to Du Yuming.

Du Yuming agreed calmly, but he was wondering in his heart, why did he let him write it, but Zhuang Jihua didn't write it himself?

"There is another thing that you need to do," Zhuang Jihua continued: "The guerrilla detachments we sent are returning to the front line of the Great Wall one after another, you and Wu Ziniu will go together, and the appreciators will return to Sichuan with us." ”

"How?" Du Yuming asked puzzledly: "The military branch is unwilling to accept them?" ”

"Chairman He means that these people are bandits in the first place, and the incorporation is only a temporary measure, and it is better to be dismissed, I fought for it, and finally agreed to absorb 30% of them."

Du Yuming understood that with Zhuang Jihua's habits, he absolutely could not sit idly by and watch the volunteers who attacked Rehe at his request be dismissed like this, and if he could, he would take all of them to Sichuan.

"If you don't want to participate, give them double severance pay," Zhuang Jihua sighed: "Originally, it was best for me to go to this matter, but the principal had an order to let me be in Beiping General Seckert." ”

According to the prior arrangement of von. The Seckert couple had arrangements to travel to Beiping during their trip to China, but Chiang Kai-shek instructed Zhu Jiahua to delay Seckert's northward journey until after the Treaty of Rehe, so that Zhuang Jihua would have time to accompany them, and at the same time, he would have time to persuade them to accept Chiang Kai-shek's offer.

In the past few days, Zhuang Jihua's mood has been all the same, and even hearing the news of Seckert's coming to Beiping has not made him happy, and there are slogans chanting outside the window, in the face of this emotion, he really doesn't know what to do, he does not agree with He Yingqin's repression, nor does he agree with the students' accusations of betrayal or the demand for an all-out war now.

Western reporters generally believe that this is a double victory for the Chinese [***] team and diplomacy, but they also generally judge that the pace of aggression against China will slow down, which Zhuang Jihua does not approve.

Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with this result, and he basically fulfilled his pre-war promise, and all the troops consumed by the various armies were kept numbered, and the troops with heavy losses were rebuilt by the armies themselves, and the expenses were allocated from the funds obtained by the Southwest Development Task Force, for which Zhuang Jihua spent more than 10 million yuan.

"Cultural Revolution, when did you have a relationship with General Seckert?" Du Yuming saw that Zhuang Jihua was in a bad mood, so he stood up and walked to the window and pulled the window door over.

"That was when I was in Germany, and Guderian often took me to his house, attended his defense salon, and got to know many high-ranking German generals. I got acquainted with him as soon as I came and went. Zhuang Jihua said and remembered that the enthusiastic Guderian had a conflict with people for him at Seckert's house, and he was really accepted by this salon, or the debate over France's decision to allocate funds to build the Maginot Line, among all of them, only he and Guderian thought that the Maginot Line was of little use, and the future war was a decisive battle for tanks, and he further believed that the Maginot Line represented the weakening of the French offensive spirit, and at the same time, because the Maginot Line occupied a lot of national defense funds, it would inevitably affect the construction of the French army. This is advantageous for Germany. In another salon, he made a shocking statement that the Maginot Line was papery and could be easily attacked; He had a contest with Manstein on the map, and the result was a great victory, and from then on he was truly accepted as a member of the National Defense Salon, but soon after that, he took off his military uniform and went to business, for which Seckert and Guderian made a special trip to his house to persuade him, but he eventually rejected their offer, but this experience gave him real respect for Seckert.

"He's a respectable veteran." Zhuang Jihua finally added. However, he was not sure of Chiang Kai-shek's demands, and with his understanding of Seckert, he was a patriot, and his words and deeds were based on the principle of safeguarding Germany's national interests, and he would not accept Chiang Kai-shek's invitation without the consent of the German political axe.

"Wu Ziniu, after you go, you should pay attention to recruiting those who have special abilities, such as outstanding marksmanship, good at climbing, and lurking makeup," Zhuang Jihua said and glanced 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 to let Wu Ziniu go, not the commander of his unit.

"Originally, Yun Fei was the most suitable to go, but those people didn't know him, you and I have been to Chadong, they know you, you go, they know, this is what I meant, not the meaning of the military branch." Zhuang Jihua is both like a supplement and like an explanation.

"The total number of troops attacking behind the enemy is about 10,000,000," Zhuang Jihua calculated silently: "Even if there are losses, there are still seven or eight thousand people left, Guangting, you take three million oceans, double severance pay is probably not enough, anyone who is willing to leave, severance pay of 100 yuan per person, and 200 yuan of ocean pension for each person who dies." ”

"So high!" Du Yuming was very surprised, nodded Zhuang Jihua, and immediately objected: "This is not good, it is too high, the Cultural Revolution, I know what you think, but you have not thought about the army, they must know that the pension of the volunteers is so high, it must mutiny, no, absolutely not." ”

Zhuang Jihua thought about it and felt that what Du Yuming said made sense, if this was to be spread, the mood of the troops would definitely be affected, which would be nothing in normal times, but the situation on the Great Wall was still repeated, and there were still many opportunities for soldiers to contribute.

"Okay, you can do it, but try to give as much as possible," Zhuang Jihua suddenly had an idea when he said this: "You can calculate this money, reward it to their leaders, and secretly tell them that this is a pension for the fallen soldiers, and let them find a way to send it to their families." ”

This method is obviously feasible, Du Yuming shook his head helplessly: "Cultural Revolution, do you have too much money, don't you know how to spend it, is it easy for overseas Chinese to donate this money, it is sent like this, it is better to use it to build two roads." Besides, people don't rush for money to fight, if you want to develop this habit, what will you do in the future? What happens when the money runs out? ”

Zhuang Jihua was stunned, he always wanted to use money to compensate those compatriots who were damaged by responding to him, but he didn't think about what to do after the outbreak of a full-scale war in the future, the army is like this, and the civil affairs are the same.
