On the morning of January 27th, Zhou Jixian called Zhou Weiguo to the study.
Zhou Jixian frowned and said,"Yesterday, the Wei Nation sent a letter of grief to our government."”
"The Book of Sad Medon?"
Zhou Jixian nodded and said,"Yes, it means an ultimatum." The Japanese had set a deadline of January 28th, 6 PM, to give Murai a satisfactory answer to his unreasonable request. If not, the Wei Nation would act freely.”
"Free movement?"
"You just want to fight, don't you?" Zhou Weiguo sneered. Do we have to be afraid of them?"
Zhou Jixian sighed helplessly and said,""We are not afraid, but some people are! According to the information I received, the Nanjing government is already seeking a compromise with the Wei Nation.”
"Humph!"
Zhou Weiguo snorted and said angrily,""I really don't know what these guys are thinking. Is there any use in compromising? It would only make the Japanese push their luck.”
"I think the politicians of the Nanjing government are a bunch of old fools. They only care about their own interests and completely ignore the national interests.”
Zhou Jixian sighed helplessly and said,""From the looks of it, I'm afraid this battle won't be fought.”
"Father, you're wrong," said Zhou Weiguo hurriedly.”
"Oh? What do you think, my son?" Zhou Jixian raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly.
Zhou Weiguo explained," This time, the Japanese are deliberately causing trouble. If we compromise, will the Japanese let it go?"”
"Did they cause trouble just to make us apologize, ban the anti-Japanese organization, and compensate them for their losses?”
"Obviously not. Their ambitions are much bigger. They want Shanghai, East China, and even the entire Huaxia.”
"Therefore, no matter how much the government compromises, the Japanese will not let it go. Those five unreasonable demands are just the Japanese looking for a cover for their invasion.”
Zhou Jixian frowned and pondered for a moment, then said,""In that case, if the Japanese don't take down Shanghai, they definitely won't stop.”
"Yes!"
Zhou Weiguo nodded and said," The Japanese will definitely attack Shanghai. I heard that the first batch of Japanese reinforcements have already arrived in Shanghai. In addition, the Japanese have also organized thousands of Japanese and equipped them with weapons. They are ready to fight at any time."”
"Therefore, I conclude that the Japanese will definitely attack by tomorrow night at the latest.”
Zhou Jixian's expression became even more serious when he heard that. He frowned and said,""How are the preparations on your side?”
Zhou Weiguo promised solemnly,""Father, don't worry. After a few days of training, our factory protection team already has a certain combat strength. Once the war breaks out, we will go to the front line to fight against the Japanese pirates and protect our country.”
"Therefore, I specially changed my name to Zhou Weiguo to protect the country and to show my ambition. I hope father will agree."
Zhou Jixian nodded and said," Previously, I named you Zhou Wen because I wanted you to be a scholar. Technology can save the country."”
"Today, since my son has the intention to join the army and protect the country, I am very pleased. Zhou Weiguo, this name is very good."
"However, son! You chose this path yourself. If you really enter the battlefield, you will not only represent yourself, but all of us.”
"So, if you don't do well and embarrass yourself, you'll also embarrass all of China.”
" Don't worry, Father," Zhou Weiguo quickly said." I will fight bravely to kill the enemy and bring glory to the country."”
……
Sure enough, as Zhou Jixian said, the Shanghai City government followed Old Jiang's instruction principle of 'enduring humiliation and shouldering heavy burdens', and ordered the police to close down the Shanghai Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association and other anti-Japanese groups.
In this way, he sought to compromise with the Japanese in exchange for peace.
At the same time, in order to prevent the 19th Route Army from disobeying orders and clashing with the Japanese pirates.
Old Jiang personally ordered the 6th Military Police Regiment to take the train to Shanghai to take over the 19th Route Army Weng Zhaoyuan's defense area.
It was placed between the 19th Route Army and the Japanese pirates to act as a buffer. To avoid conflict.
On January 28, the Shanghai City responded to the Japanese's ultimatum, accepting all five unreasonable demands and completely compromising with the Wei Nation.
The Wei Nation's Consul General in Shanghai expressed his satisfaction after receiving the Shanghai City's reply.
He also informed the Japanese fleet commander, Shiozawa Koichi, of this reply.
Shiozawa Koichi tore the document into pieces and threw it into the trash can.
"I didn't expect the Chinese to be so patient and accept our request.”
"Commander, we have no excuse now.”a Japanese officer said.
"Humph! Isn't it easy to find an excuse?"
" The previous request was made by the embassy," Shiozawa Koichi sneered." It doesn't represent our military."”
"Immediately issue an ultimatum to the Chinese government in the name of this commander and the imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire.”
"In order to protect the safety of our citizens, order the 19th route army to withdraw from the Zhabei area and let our army take over.”
"I don't believe that they can accept such a request.”
"Your Excellency is wise. But what if…what if the Chinese accept it?”the Japanese officer said carefully.
"There's no 'what if'!"
"I won't give them that chance," Shiozawa Koichi sneered.”
"Immediately order the Marine Corps and the Japanese volunteers to prepare to attack the Zhabei area.”
"The attack time is set for tonight.”
"Commander, you're wise. If that's the case, the Chinese won't be able to reply to us in time. We can use this as an excuse to attack.”The Japanese officer said with a flattering expression.
"Immediately execute the order!" Shiozawa Koichi sneered.
"Ha Yi!"
