The Japanese special agent did not make any substantial progress!
Yan Zhikuan also understood.
In his previous life, the ceasefire was not China's wish. In fact, it was a tacit agreement between both sides!
Japan was also not prepared for war!
There were many reasons why Japan invaded China.
One of the important reasons was that the M Nation's stock market crash had caused a worldwide economic crisis!
Japan.
He was also affected!
The collapse of the cabinet and the revival of militarism were the major environmental prerequisites!
It just so happened that Jiang Zhongzheng had just finished the war in the Central Plains.
The national treasury was empty, and there were only a few hundred thousand troops under his command!
Unable to fight against Japan!
Similarly,
Japan also urgently needed to digest the strength of the three eastern provinces and transfer the domestic pressure to the three eastern provinces!
It all required time!
As for the 128th Songhu War,
It was a test by Japan!
Because the three eastern provinces were occupied too easily.
It gave the Japanese the ambition to occupy China for four months!
This could be seen from the first Japanese commander clamoring to occupy Shanghai in four hours!
However, after encountering such powerful resistance,
In fact, Japan was also hesitant to start an all-out war!
The Japanese were afraid that after the full-scale expansion, the United States, Britain, and other countries would interfere because of their interests in China. This would increase the difficulty of Japan's occupation of China!
Especially the M Nation on the other side of the ocean, which had always been regarded as Japan's number one enemy!
After the Japanese special agent left,
Yan Zhikuan frowned!
"Master, you're too amazing. You even dare to scold the Japanese!”
Ma Yongzhen was also very happy to see the truce.
In this world…
No one disliked peace!
Even the craziest warlord of the Second World War had only wanted to fight for the survival of the Third Reich!
"What's there to be happy about!"
"The Japanese have been defeated by me, so I think they'll find another way!" Yan Zhikuan said unhappily.”
"Then let them look for us. We're the heroes of the war now!”
Ma Yongzhen definitely wouldn't understand Yan Zhikuan's worries!
"By the way, when is Xu Yongchang coming over?”
"In these two days!"
"Okay, let's go and take a look at the soldiers of the 19th route army first!”
Since the war had ceased,
Yan Zhikuan was also preparing to return to the front line for an inspection!
At this moment, more than half of the 19th Army had suffered casualties.
However, most of the soldiers were strictly guarding their positions, constantly on guard against the Japanese's attack at any time!
"Major!"
"Yan Shao Shuai!"
Seeing that Yan Zhikuan had come to the front line, the soldiers of the 19th Route Army saluted and expressed their respect!
All of them were extremely touched!
He was a great commander,
I came to the front line despite the danger,
This greatly comforted the hearts of the soldiers at all levels!
"How are the injured?"
"He has been sent to the nearby battlefield hospital!”
In the frontline command center, Cai Tingkai reported to Yan Zhikuan.
"The Japanese intend to stop the exchange of fire!"
"It's all thanks to your resources and Zhou Xuan that this situation can happen!”
Cai Tingkai said excitedly.
He did not want to fight either.
But sometimes, he had to fight!
Hearing the truce,
He actually agreed with both hands!
"Tell the soldiers not to let their guard down!”
"Understood!"
"When Xu Yongchang comes, let's have a meeting first!”
"Yes, sir! Young Marshal!"
When Cai Tingkai heard this, he was immediately excited!
Hearing Yan Zhikuan's words,
This was not treating him as an outsider!
Dissatisfied with Jiang Zhongzheng, he actually had the idea of defecting to him!
After all, apart from the Jinsui Army, Yan Zhikuan was the one who had provided the supplies for this lone battle. As someone who wasn't directly under Jiang Zhongzheng's command, he was disappointed!
This kind of coldness later contributed to the Fuzhou Incident!
However, in this life…
Cai Tingkai had a new candidate to seek refuge with--Yan Zhikuan!
Xu Yongchang arrived in Shanghai.
Cai Tingkai, Jiang Guangnai, Yan Zhikuan, Chu Yunfei, and the others held a meeting first!
Yan Zhikuan also expressed his views on the current situation and his personal bottom line for the armistice agreement!
"The Japanese army must withdraw. This is my bottom line! However, Principal Jiang would probably compromise with the Japanese and let them station their troops in Shanghai!”
Yan Zhikuan voiced his concerns.
"Why? We didn't lose this battle!"
Jiang Guangnai said discontentedly.
"That's right. Why should the Japanese be stationed on our territory? This won't do!"
Cai Tingkai also felt that it was ridiculous!
Chu Yunfei was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yan Zhikuan to start considering the armistice agreement and post-war matters!
"Young Marshal, I understand your heartache and patriotic feelings. However, he is the chairman after all. I'm afraid it's difficult for us to interfere in the peace talks between countries!”
Although Xu Yongchang admired Yan Zhikuan's patriotic sentiments, he also felt that the possibility of Yan Zhikuan making the decision was very low!
Of course, Yan Zhikuan would not agree!
Motherf * cker,
He had worked hard for half a day just to occupy Shanghai and develop his own shipyard and other military industries!
The Japanese want to station troops,
Then wouldn't he be placing his shipyard under the Japanese's nose?
Wasn't this just looking for trouble?
He definitely wouldn't do it!
He had the territory, the army, and the army. He was just one step away!
No matter what, he had to take it down!
Of course,
These thoughts needed to be kept in mind!
You can't say that to outsiders!
"Cough cough!"
After sorting out his thoughts, Yan Zhikuan looked indignant and patriotic."As a Chinese, do we have to watch our land fall?”
"Yes, Young Marshal, you make the decision!”
Cai Tingkai was the first to support.
Then, Jiang Guangnai also supported him." We, the 19th Route Army, are not convinced by anyone except you. Tell us, what should we do?"”
Seeing this, Xu Yongchang said,
"Young Marshal, we can't have internal strife at a time like this! The Japanese will take advantage of it!"
"I'm not stupid!"
Yan Zhikuan rolled his eyes.
"You have a way?"
Xu Yongchang immediately asked when he saw that Yan Zhikuan agreed with him.
"Yes!"
Yan Zhikuan nodded hesitantly.
"What is it?"
Xu Yongchang asked excitedly.
"Use money!"
Just as he finished speaking,
All the officers were speechless.
On the third day of the ceasefire,
The surrounding areas of Shanghai were filled with the sound of paperboys hawking again!
"Breaking news, breaking news! The hero of the war against Japan, Yan Zhikuan, has been loitering around the brothels for two days after the ceasefire!”
This news immediately spread to the surrounding areas of Shanghai!
People held the newspapers and discussed,"Look, this prodigal hasn't finished fighting yet, and he's starting to squander again!"”
"Sigh, I just changed my opinion of him. As expected, a dog can't change its ways!”
"We shouldn't have trusted such a prodigal!”
Just as all the townsfolk were condemning Yan Zhikuan…
At this moment, Yan Zhikuan was having a bath with the envoy of the Great Britain Empire, Lampson, who was also the leader of this armistice agreement!
The two of them were surrounded by more than a dozen beautiful women, massaging their shoulders and feeding them grapes!
