Chapter 21, the hasty war is over

In the end, the war for which neither China nor Japan was fully prepared came to an end, and both sides withdrew their minions like wounded beasts, silently licking their wounds, waiting for the next contest to come. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the Nationalist government believed that the Chinese warlords at that time were in a state of internal strife, military orders and government orders were not uniform, and their finances were extremely difficult, and they could not afford to start an all-out war with Japan, they hoped to reach an armistice at the minimum cost without "losing national power." On 5 May, Guo Taiqi, representative of the Nanjing Government, and Shigemitsu Aoi, Japan's Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, signed the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" on behalf of China and Japan. The agreement provided for an armistice between the two sides from the date of signing; All anti-Japanese activities were banned, the 19th Route Army remained on the armistice line, and Shanghai was designated as a demilitarized zone; China is not allowed to station troops from Shanghai to Suzhou and Kunshan (but China retains administrative and police powers); The Japanese troops retreated to the Public Concession and the Hongkou area to build a cross-border road, that is, to restore the status quo ante to the incident of January 28, 1932.

During the armistice negotiations (April 29, 1932), Yoon Bong-gil, a Korean anti-war activist, infiltrated the Tianchang Festival and the Japanese Army's victory parade to celebrate the birthday of the Japanese emperor at the instigation of the assassination of the Great King Wang Yaqiao, and threw bombs at the guest of honor, resulting in the death of Shirakawa Yoshinori, a Japanese army general and commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Dispatch Army.

No matter what other people think, at least Li Shunsheng and these soldiers feel this way, and the Japanese who can't find evidence can only suffer a secret loss, break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

But the war is over, and many things need to be dealt with immediately, such as rebuilding the urban area of Shanghai, which was damaged in the war, and replenishing the 19th Army, which was heavily damaged.

These things are finally over, Li Shunsheng also returned to the long-lost city of Nanjing, the city of Nanjing has not changed much, although it was bombed by the Japanese in the incident, but it cannot erase its role as the current capital of China, this thousand-year-old city is witnessing the gradual changes in China.

When he arrived in Nanjing, Li Shunsheng naturally got in touch with Zhou Enlai again, so he wrote a letter to the central government in Jiangxi, and some things he felt piled up in his heart and was not unhappy, he needed to find someone to talk to about these things, and Zhou Enlai, who was highly respected by himself, was a good object.

In the dim light of the night, Li Shunsheng held a pen in his hand and wrote on the paper, during which he occasionally stopped the pen in his hand to think about the language after a while, he didn't know what he would think of himself when the letter came to Zhou Enlai's hand, anyway, Li Shunsheng felt that he had worked hard, if it was useless, then the current life is also good.

Hats off to Mr. Enlai of love

Hello

It has been a few years since I parted in the past, and Shun Sheng missed Mr. very much, at this time, I had some words in my heart that were not unhappy, and I carefully considered it for a long time before I wrote this letter.

After the recently concluded '128 Shanghai Incident', Shun Sheng felt a lot of emotion after his personal experience, and the bravery of the soldiers of the national army in fighting far exceeded my imagination. I saw with my own eyes the groups of soldiers who knew that there was a dead end in front of them, but they still bravely rushed forward, and I saw in their eyes their love for this country.

When he first heard about the response of our Soviet government to the anti-Japanese war in Shanghai, to be honest, Shun Sheng felt a chill. Although Shun Sheng didn't know what the top of the Nationalist Government was like, Shun Sheng at least saw them fighting the front line for the war of resistance.

At the front, Shun Sheng saw the charge of the Nationalist army, whose non-commissioned officers of the platoon rank were all in the lead, and had nothing in common with what our Soviet government had said. Shun Sheng also saw General Zhang Zhizhong personally go to the line of fire to direct the war against Japan, and there was not the slightest resemblance to what our Soviet government said.

Shun Sheng did not know much about the current situation of the central government, so he could not agree with the central government's ideas.

Now, China has been humiliated by foreign enemies, and my country is really unable to truly unite as one to restore the majesty of our Han and Tang Dynasties?

Shun Sheng also received news that the Nationalist Government would send troops to Jiangxi Anwei and other places to encircle and suppress the base areas, and hoped that Mr. Enlai would be careful.

Although the Soviet Union is the origin of our party, we cannot be constrained by them in everything, and our Chinese affairs are handled by us Chinese, no matter how much help they have given us, they are the enemies of our Chinese descendants for hundreds of years. Although Shun Sheng had never seen them drive our Chinese people into the Songhua River, he knew that the territory occupied by Soviet Russia in the north was much greater than that of Japan.

Hearing that most of the important members of the central government were under the control of the Russian Soviet government, Shun Sheng thought that this matter was very inappropriate, and hoped that Mr. Enlai, Commissar Mao and other revolutionary predecessors would think carefully.

If possible, Shun Sheng felt that our Soviets could take advantage of the opportunity to move north, and the south was the hinterland of the Nationalist Government, which was located in Ruijin and surrounded on all sides.

At this juncture, our Soviets should retain their strength, not fight to the death of the Nationalist Government, and deal with foreign enemies is not an important task that can be accomplished by one party and one army after all.

Sincerely, respects

Your admirer, Lee Sun-sang

June 13, 21st year of the Republic of China

Recently, Zhou Enlai has been a little unsettled, and a few old guys who are not worried about him have teamed up to see him.

"Enlai, what's wrong with you lately, why are you always restless, it's not good for work." The future Chinese leader Mao Zedong quipped that he knew that Zhou Enlai had something on his mind, so he called the old guys to see what was going on, after all, the three stinkers decided that Zhuge Liang was not, let alone the smartest people of this era?

"Are you really interested in seeing it?" Seeing that his old buddies were all attracted over, Zhou Enlai knew that these guys must have seen their thoughts, so he changed his previous uneasiness and took out a letter from his personal pocket: "Since you want to read it, then I won't stop you." ”

"Runzhi, you look first."

"Okay, then you're welcome." Mao Zedong picked up the letter on the table, opened it, and read it carefully.

"This little guy sees far away, he sees everything we didn't expect."

"Yes, I knew that Comrade Wang Ming was too impulsive this time, and the national army would definitely retaliate against our Central Soviet Region."

"And we don't have the strength to compete with them, at least not yet."

"We're moving north?"

"Transfers are necessary, but not now."

"We still have things to do."

"We have to make up our minds."

"The Chinese deal with the affairs of the Chinese themselves, and there is no need for anyone to interfere."

"Vote by show of hands."

Everyone in the room raised their hands.

"Then let's act, for the sake of the future of our country, for the sake of the revolution."

"For the future of the country, for the revolution."

"By the way, how about introducing that little guy to me?" Mao Zedong rubbed his hands and asked.

Zhou Enlai shook his head: "The less people know the identity of this comrade, the better, and sooner or later you will see him." “

Li Shunsheng didn't know that one of his letters actually made the great people of Ruijin reach a consensus, maybe he just wanted to complain, but it had an unexpected effect.

The wheels of history began to turn in a strange direction.
