"Extra, extra, the latest news of the Central Daily, the Japanese invaders have self-destructed the Manchurian Iron and slandered our Northeast Army, ignored the international order, and brazenly attacked the Beida Camp and Mukden of our Northeast Army at 10 o'clock yesterday evening...... Heiji Liao is in danger, and the fathers and elders of the Northeast are in dire straits From the vast black soil in the northeast to the gentle water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, this news quickly blew across the north and south of the river like a whirlwind, and the whole country was shocked!

Zhang Xueliang frowned early in the morning, this immature young marshal soldier was not a "handsome" talent, he miscalculated the situation, and the audacity of the Japanese not only surprised him, but also surprised the people of the whole country. His "little brother" Jiang Zhong. A telegram in August trapped him and the Northeast Army. Because of the policy of non-resistance, on September 19, nearly 20 cities in Liaoning and Jilin, including Fengtian, Changchun, Yingkou, Anshan, Fushun, and Andong, fell into the hands of the enemy. Later generations have different opinions about this non-resistance. It is said that it is Chiang Kai. Shi's order, some say that it is Zhang Xueliang's order, anyway, the two guys have been buried in the ground, how to verify? You can't dig it out and confront it, can you? And the final basis is Jiang Zhong. is giving Zhang Xueliang's milling electricity!

Early in the morning, Wang Zhengting, then the Chinese Foreign Minister, urgently made an appointment to meet with the Japanese Minister Shigemitsu Aoi to pass the customs. The Eastern Army's aggression lodged a serious protest against the Japanese side, and on the same day, he ordered Shi Zhaoji, China's plenipotentiary representative to the League of Nations, to report the incident to the League of Nations and ask the League of Nations to uphold justice. As far as Wang Zhengting knows, at this time, the political scene in Japan is also turbulent. The Eastern Army actually did such a thing, but their cabinet was powerless to stop it? This has to make Wang Zhengting surprised by such a strange phenomenon in Japan, which is really strange in the world!

Japan's strange king has no time to pay attention, and it is crucial that the current incident is properly resolved. I can only know the process of the incident roughly through the telegram, but Miji Kenkawa, the head of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, was killed in Mukden, and the corpse was robbed, who has such courage? What kind of deep hatred does not even spare the corpse? However, Wang Zhengting was very happy in his heart, although Jianchuan Miji did not approve of solving the Manchurian problem by force, but it was also a curve invasion of the Northeast, and it was also unforgivable, well, it was good to die! As for the intelligence officer of what flower valley is dead, he will die, and he who does intelligence is like the days of adding blood to the tip of a knife, who can say when he will die?

"Mr. Minister, my government expresses its grave protest against such a brutal act of your country!" Wang Zhengting didn't make a detour, and directly protested to Chongguang Kui. Chong Kuiguang rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said: "Mr. Wang's protest, I'm afraid that our country can't make any promises. I personally apologize for the unhappiness caused by the irritable behavior of the Eastern Army to Mukden! What's more, the murderer of my country's Northeast Army who assassinated my Major General Jianchuan Miji has not yet been handed over! As a senior diplomat, at this time, he was flamboyant, avoiding the important and light, and his ability was revealed. Wang Zhengting secretly scolded the old fox in his heart. What is irritable behavior? Is it off. Isn't the Eastern Army the Japanese army? Is the sound of gunfire all night just unpleasant? Wang Zhengting snorted coldly: "Mr. Minister's words are wrong, there is no evidence to prove that the murder of Major General Jianchuan was committed by the Northeast Army, and this matter needs to be investigated clearly." "With regard to the solemn representations made by Wang Zhengting on behalf of the national government, the Japanese side can be said to have played all the scoundrels. This deeply pierced Wang Zhengting's heart. The country is weak and the people are cheap, is there still justice in the face of power?

What made Wang Zhengting even more angry was that the Japanese went so far as to inform the League of Nations of the conflict between Japan and China one step ahead of the national government, and said that the Japanese government had taken all possible measures to avoid the escalation of this local incident? Wang Zhengting was about to ask him face-to-face what kind of measures he had taken. The Eastern Army is still sending troops everywhere to occupy my territory and violate my sovereignty? This is to avoid the escalation of the situation, is it simply adding fuel to the fire!

And this day Chiang Kai. Shi did not arrive in Jiangxi and saw the newspapers in Shanghai and immediately returned to Nanjing, which was a slight change from history. Shi returned to Nanjing on the 21st. "Niang Xipi!" JIANG Jie. The stone is quite fire-great. Why is this Japanese appetite so big? It won't shoot and eat too much? originally thought that the Japanese were a little arrogant in the Northeast, and they did not do less provocative things, and they just tolerated a little, but he never expected that the Japanese were really playing. In just one day, more than 20 major cities in the northeast have fallen into the hands of the enemy. This is a slap in the face of him Jiang. You must know that the Chinese have the best face, who can stand this slap?

In such a case, Chiang Kai. At 7 p.m. on the evening of the 19th, Shi convened an emergency meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang to discuss the strategy toward Japan. This is again two days ahead of history. This year's affairs have made him anxious, and on the surface, the country is unified, but how many people can he, the leader, summon? The strange image of the government decree not coming out of Jiangsu and Zhejiang made him angry, Yan Baichuan in Shanxi, Han Fuqu in Shandong, ** in Jiangxi, and the Cantonese national government in Guangzhou, not to mention Sichuan and Yungui, even the little six sons who support the central government are not all in the government, right? Who knows if he will turn against him one day? JIANG Jie. Shi quickly spun around in his mind before the meeting began. can climb from the bottom to the pinnacle of power, to say Chiang Kai. Shi has no ability, it's pure nonsense.

After some discussions, in view of the actual situation in the country, the final tone of the decision reached at the meeting was still forbearance. China, which has just been formally reunified, can only be described as weak in any respect. Those local warlords who listened to propaganda and did not listen to the tune were bent on racking their brains for their own status and rights, so how could they consider the problem from the perspective of the state? How similar is the embarrassing situation of not issuing government decrees to the four provinces and the political scene in Japan? Lao Jiang sits in the seat of the highest peak of power, which can be described as infinite on the surface, but who can understand his suffering? If you have the position of "country" and do not have the strength of "country", you still have to do the affairs of "country", isn't this tantamount to roasting him on the fire? It's no wonder that after Lao Jiang went into the wilderness, Sun Ke had to ask Lao Jiang to go back and preside over the overall situation! Who will carry such a stall? I have to get old Jiang!

In the end, the meeting decided: "(1) In terms of diplomacy, a special diplomatic committee will be established as a decision-making and discussion organ for Japan; (2) On the military side, troops will be dispatched to the north to assist in the defense, and the plan to discuss Guangdong and suppress the Communist Party will be suspended; (3) Politically, Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Ji, and Chen Mingshu were sent to Guangdong to call for unity and resistance to foreign aggression; (4) On the part of the people, the National Government and the Central Party Department shall issue notices respectively. The same as the whole country. The compatriot asks the people to be calm and patient, to strive for unity, to prepare for self-defense, and to trust in the justice of the League of Nations. (5) Cooperate with the Japanese side in investigating the case of the attack on Major General Miji Kenkawa and Masashi Hanaya. The last one is to add the meaning that the death of the enemy chieftain who is actively preparing to invade China will be investigated? Joke!

At this time, the government still had great hopes for an institution like the League of Nations. If the whole people resist the war with the anger of the moment, they will fall into the quagmire of turmoil, when will they be able to get out of the suffering? This is also the question that a group of bigwigs think about the most. War is not impossible, but once a full-scale war breaks out, how will the economy develop? Where can national defense construction come from without economic support? To put it bluntly, how can you raise an army if you don't have money? The absence of an army in such a big country is like a plate of fragrant and tempting big cakes!

But it is not blindly forbearing, and the bigwigs who participated in the meeting also said that if the Japanese army deviates again, our army can arm itself for self-defense. In other words, you can defend yourself when you can't bear it, but there is no such thing as fighting back. This can be seen from Lao Chiang's speech "The Survival of the Country, the Death and the Death of the Country": "At this moment, our people must be unanimous from top to bottom, first to justice against power, peace to barbarism, to endure pain and indignation, and to temporarily adopt an attitude of resignation and resignation, so as to wait for the judgment of international justice...... At this moment, forbearance, not yielding. If all international treaties of faith are null and void, peace is hopeless, and patience is no longer tolerable, and it should not be endured to the end, then the central authorities will have the final determination and the last preparation, and will then lead the people of the whole country to defend the survival of our nation and the national personality with the strength of 40,000 people. And at this night's meeting, the bigwigs actually had a full-scale war of resistance in their hearts.

The attitude of the state government is actually much more clever than Zhang Xueliang in the literal sense, at least there is no strict order of "non-resistance", which is also where Zhang Xueliang is criticized by the world. Shao Yuanchong, then vice president of the Legislative Yuan, once pointed out: "The so-called non-resistance refers to those who do not fire and attack people first, and it is not that when armed soldiers are attacked by the enemy and surrounded and disarmed, they can still be called non-resistants." Nationalism and the national spirit have been lost, and the strange patriarch has been driven into a no-man's land. Dai Jitao sent a letter to Chiang Kai-shek on the 20th. Shi's telegram also said: "The government can only always declare peace and make international efforts, but there is no one who dies in the local area, and I am afraid that there will be no way to inspire the world's trust in China, and there will be no example for future generations to follow." "In the foul language of later generations: you don't even want to be ashamed of yourself, and you still expect others to give you face?

However, it was not until March 20, 1932, that the League of Nations Investigation Team headed by British Sir Lytton arrived in Mukden belatedly and began to investigate the September 18 Incident. It's been half a year since the incident to start the investigation? This made Gu Weijun, a diplomat at the time, deeply angry and helpless. How sad is it that the Japanese army is committing murder on Chinese soil, and our national government cannot take the initiative to resist, so it should ask for help from an institution like the League of Nations?
