Although Yang Yongtai's words suppressed the rise of everyone's emotions, Zhang Zhizhong's He Yingqin's mood was still very good, Chen Cheng's performance was acceptable, he knew more about Chongqing, but he had great opinions on some of Zhuang Jihua's practices, especially the equipment of the Sichuan army, but since Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything, he couldn't insist on it. /.qb V, c0М// [Chinese. ]

"Something is better than nothing, and these problems can always be solved," Zhang Zhizhong said with a smile: "Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, the policy decision on the development of southwest China was really clever, and it is really unimaginable that such great achievements have been made in just five years." ”

"If only there were five more years." Yang Yongtai sighed: "I talked to the Cultural Revolution, the development of the southwest is only on the right track now, and it will take five years to achieve success." ”

Lin Wei glanced at Yang Yongtai, he knew why Yang Yongtai repeatedly emphasized the difficulties today, Yang Yongtai did not want to start a war now, he thought that he could make some concessions, in exchange for time for concessions, when Chiang Kai-shek consulted him before, he strongly advocated for approving the results of the negotiations between the Beiping side.

"Let's not talk about these first," Chiang Kai-shek said lightly: "Everyone understands our situation, now let's talk about the Lugou Bridge incident and how we should deal with it." First of all, is this a deliberate provocation by Japan, just like 918 and 128 and Rehe. /”

There was silence in the room for a while, and it took a long time for Zhang Zhizhong to ask: "What reports do you have from Beiping?" What is the status of the negotiations? And what about the movement of Japanese troops? Brother Weiwen. ”

"No, there are no specific reports other than the two clashes reported last night and this afternoon." Lin Wei replied: "The report obtained by the central government is still transmitted through the Beiping Station of the Secret Service. ”

"What's going on? The results of the negotiations were not reported? What does Song Mingxuan want to do? Zhang Zhizhong immediately became vigilant, this is too abnormal. The central authorities have long ordered that any conflict and negotiation with the Japanese must be reported to the central authorities, and the central authorities will make unified arrangements and guidance. But why did Peiping not report the progress of the incident?

"Brother Wen Bai, this is still not easy to understand," Yang Yongtai sighed and said: "Song Mingxuan is to defend both the Japanese and the central government, and I am afraid that the latter means something stronger." ”

"This condition is acceptable, and it can be explained to domestic public opinion." He Yingqin pondered and said: "I don't know if you have seen the telegram on the Communist Party side today, hum. Hmph, what Pingjin is in danger, North China is in danger, and the Chinese nation is in danger; It seems that the sky is about to fall, lest the world will not be chaotic. ”

Their goal is obvious: as soon as the Sino-Japanese war breaks out, the pressure of the central government on them will disappear immediately. Their situation changed immediately. Shift from passive to active in negotiations. Lin Wei added that the KMT-CCP negotiations have been going on for several rounds. The two sides repeatedly argued over territory and organization, and ****** demanded that the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region be abolished. Mao Zdong and Zhu D went abroad and did not agree to implement cooperation outside the party. It was proposed that the National Revolutionary League be formed, and that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should send the same cadres to join. Chaired by Chiang Kai-shek; The Communists apparently could not agree, and the two sides formed a stalemate, and Zhou Enlai returned to Yan'an in mid-June.

However, once the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression begins, the Central Army currently gathered in Shaanxi will move east to the front, and the Red Army has 40,000 or 50,000 officers and soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, which is also a huge force in the War of Resistance, but it will also become an important weight to raise requirements.

"This result is basically acceptable," Chiang Kai-shek pondered, and said: "Judging from the information coming from all sides, the Japanese are transferring troops from Northeast Korea to Beiping, and there are endless debates within the Japanese government. ”

"The principal is right," Chen Cheng immediately said, he didn't speak just now, and the negotiation with ** was presided over by him, but at the same time there was another negotiation held in Shanghai, that is, the negotiation with Deng Yanda's third party presided over by Chen Lifu, and the two sides also formed a stalemate, but the third party did not have its own armed forces after all, so the government's initiative was obvious, but their local party leader Deng Yanda had too much influence, and many Huangpu students still regarded it as an idol, and the relationship between Chen Cheng and Deng Yanda was also very irreversible. This is the reason why Chiang Kai-shek refused to hand over the negotiation to Chen Chengdi, and Chen Cheng took a Zhuang Jihua style in dealing with his relationship with Deng Yanda, and his personal relationship was not concealed or denied, but his political position was not affected in the slightest, and he hoped that the negotiations with Deng Yanda would go smoothly, and the news from all sides showed that the third party was immediately very firm, and the negotiations did not make much progress, and he was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would send him to persuade Deng Yanda, which would put him in an embarrassing situation, because he knew that Deng Yanda's character could not accept his advice at all, Therefore, I am very reluctant to continue talking about the topic of negotiations, so as not to talk about this negotiation from one talk to another.

"In 918, we made a mistake in judgment, and as a result, we lost the three eastern provinces, and Zhang Xueliang made the mistake of underestimating the enemy during the Rehe period, and as a result, we lost Rehe and the Great Wall. Chen Cheng's words were sonorous and powerful: "I propose to immediately transfer troops to the north to strengthen the defense of Beiping, and at the same time send heavy troops to Nankou, on the one hand, to threaten the Japanese flank, and on the other hand, to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Shanxi after the loss of Pingjin; second, establish a former enemy headquarters in Shijiazhuang, transfer heavy troops to North China, and prepare in advance; The headquarters of the 29th Army should be moved to Baoding immediately. /”

Chen Cheng's suggestion was undoubtedly a kind of deployment based on warfare, which made He Yingqin, who had a wandering attitude, feel a little inappropriate: "Cixiu, you are adding fuel to the fire, our transfer of troops, the Japanese will soon know, and they will react accordingly, so that the saber rattling will escalate the conflict." ”

"I don't think necessarily, at present, Japan is strong and China is weak, and it is impossible for the weak to take the initiative to challenge the strong, but we must show our attitude and let the Japanese understand our bottom line. Lin Wei interjected unceremoniously.

"Brother Weiwen is right," Zhang Zhizhong also interjected: "If Pingjin is lost without a fight, or if it loses quickly, can the central government accept it; After acceptance, how to explain to the people of the whole country. ”

"Pingjin must not be lost, if Pingjin is lost like the three eastern provinces or Rehe, the national government should step down." Chiang Kai-shek stood up and said resolutely, Chen Cheng's words just now reminded him that you must let the other party understand your determination, and Zhang Zhizhong was warning him that if that happens, there will inevitably be a new round of protest anger across the country, and the political environment that has gradually improved will immediately become very bad, and the prestige he has accumulated in the Xi'an Incident will immediately collapse, and those who originally supported him in the party and the army will turn against him, and the Huangpu classmates will also split, and the people who replace him, such as Wang Jingwei, if he can pull Deng Yanda over, Then most of the people in the Whampoa system will not oppose this regime.

"Respectfully, you will go back to Nanjing tomorrow and contact the Japanese ambassador and tell them that the handling of the Lugou Bridge incident should be based on not damaging the national dignity, not harming China's sovereignty, not withdrawing troops, and not replacing local officials. Chiang Kai-shek's expression was serious.

He Yingqin opened his mouth to object, but in the end he replied: "Yes, chairman, I will go back early tomorrow morning." ”

"Song Mingxuan wants to remind him there, Changqing, record," Chiang Kai-shek pondered and said: "The Lu case must not be resolved peacefully, the Japanese side will gain an inch, and there is no end to it, the central government has decided to resist Japan with all its might, and would rather be broken than jade, in order to maintain the personality of our country, this victory or defeat is all in the same agreement between the brother and the central government, regardless of the peace and battle, do not carry it out alone, so as not to be broken by the enemy, brother can move the headquarters to Baoding, so as not to be surrounded by the Japanese army After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, Yang Yongtai also finished remembering, Chiang Kai-shek immediately signed the three words Chiang Zhongzheng on the telegram draft, Then he said to Chen Cheng: "Song Mingxuan is guarding against the Central Army, so that even his colleagues in the Northwest Army are on guard, Sun Lianzhong is in the officer training regiment, let him come to see me tomorrow, transfer him to the front line in Beiping, Song Zheyuan will not have any ideas." ”

"The chairman is smart." A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Cheng's mouth.

As Chiang Kai-shek feared, on 9 July, the commander of the Japanese Infantry Brigade of the Japanese garrison army Shozo Kawabe mobilized a brigade to attack the Lugou Bridge again, but the reinforcements of the 29th Army had already arrived, and after three hours of fierce fighting between the two sides, the squadron once again repelled the Japanese attack, and at the same time began to outflank Shozo Riverside. The riverside is retreating in embarrassment.

The war did not make progress, and the Japanese army had to return to the negotiating table, but at this time the news had already come out, and the anti-Japanese anger in the country was rising, and Peiping, led by Tsinghua Yanjing Peking University students, took to the streets to support the 29th Army's anti-Japanese war, and a large number of Beiping citizens participated in their actions, and angry citizens smashed Japanese stores in Beiping; Wuhan, Nanjing, Taiyuan, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Nanning, and all parts of the country, all social strata have telegraphed to the central government, demanding to resist the Japanese attack and launch a thorough war of resistance.

The same situation also happened in Japan, where the Asahi Shimbun, Tokyo Nikichi Shimbun, and Yomiuri Shimbun, headed by the three major newspapers, vigorously publicized the tyranny of the squadron, believing that the Lugou Bridge incident was provoked by the squadron and broke out by the Japanese troops who were training, and was an affront to the Japanese Empire, and that the frequent anti-Japanese incidents that broke out in various parts of China were instigated by Zhengguo.

The news media added fuel to the fire, which made the Japanese feel high, and in recent years, the Japanese Imperial Army made great achievements in war, opened up territories, and added supreme glory to the imperial country. Social organizations in various localities have launched activities to demand that the tyrannical squadrons be punished and that the Japanese troops in China be protected.

However, there are serious differences of opinion within the Japanese government and the military, and the new Japanese Prime Minister Fumi Konoe is a member of the Konoe family, the head of Japan's famous five regent families, and is very respected in aristocratic circles. Konoe's father was the president of the House of Nobles, a position he later took over as well. After the resignation of the cabinet, he was recommended to be prime minister by the emperor's ministers, especially his teacher Saionji, the only surviving veteran of the Meiji Restoration, but Saionji also felt that his character was somewhat weak, and it was difficult for him to stand up for his ideas in times of crisis.
