Even though he obviously felt Zhuang Jihua's body tremble, he seemed to know that in early January of Zhuang Jihua, the Japanese side passed over seven peace conditions through Germany, the content of which was the autonomy of Inner Mongolia; the establishment of a demilitarized zone along the border of Manchukuo in North China; Expand the demilitarized zone of Shanghai, with patrols in the public concession under Japanese control; cessation of anti-Japanese policies; Common opposition**; Reduction of tariffs on Japan; Respect for foreign rights and interests. Some time ago, Todman met with President Kong in Wuhan and said that the conditions on the Japanese side had not changed, and the chairman of the committee decided to accept these conditions. ”

"Accepted?" Zhuang Jihua frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Then what are you doing in the meeting?" ”

"Oh, it's not decided yet, today's meeting is to discuss whether to accept these conditions." Tang Zong felt that he had gone too far, but he knew that Chiang Kai-shek had no other way, the 700,000 troops on the Songhu front had been beaten down, and the situation in the north was not good.

Taiyuan held for a month longer than in the previous life, thanks to Deng Xihou's 23rd Group Army in the battle at Niangzi Pass, but what made Deng Xihou depressed was that his group army was divided and used in Kou and Niangzi Pass, as a result, the Japanese army finally broke through from Niangzi Pass, and the Battle of Kou ended without a problem.

When the war came to this, Tang Zong thought about it for Chiang Kai-shek, and there was indeed no other way but peace talks.

"Senior, do you think peace talks can be done now?" Tang Zongjian Zhuang Jihua's demeanor was always not high, so he asked.

Zhuang Jihua looked out the window of the car, the chaotic flow of people, Nanjing was already in chaos, the streets were full of people, and the demeanor of these people was all very panicked. In Nanjing, which has a population of one million, 300,000 people were killed in the massacre, of which 100,000 were soldiers, indicating that many people had fled the city before, 300,000 people.

"Senior, senior," Tang Zong saw Zhuang Jihua looking out of the car window unwillingly, so he greeted him repeatedly.

"Oh, what did you just say?" Only then did Zhuang Jihua come back to his senses and turned his head to look at Tang Zong.

"Do you think the Japanese will negotiate with us so easily now?" Tang Zong asked repeatedly.

"The conditions of the Japanese will not be just like this," Zhuang Jihua shook his head lightly, sighed and said: "We have fought with the Japanese a lot, the Japanese government is essentially not honest, I estimate that they will adopt the method to induce us to negotiate peacefully, lower our resistance heart, disintegrate morale and popular will, and then raise the conditions." ”

Historically, whether Chiang Kai-shek negotiated with the Japanese. Zhuang Jihua didn't know. But China has always resisted. So he doesn't worry about whether the negotiations will work out or not. He was already aware that the storm he had caused by his butterfly was getting bigger and bigger. However, he still believes that he is not enough to influence Sino-Japanese diplomacy. In particular, Japanese diplomacy.

Tang Zong also sighed heavily. If according to the current conditions. He thought it was possible to negotiate with the Japanese. If according to this condition. China can recover most of the land in the interior, including Pingjin. And you can win a few years of détente. And in the seven. At least three are the public concession, the reduction of tariffs on Japan, and the demilitarized zone. The Chinese government no longer has actual control.

Needless to say, the concession is not to be said. The borders of Manchukuo were already occupied by the Japanese. Tariff. China has never been autonomous. So the Chinese government can't really decide on these three points. Trail can promise to come down.

But Zhuang Jihua doesn't see it that way. He thought about it and said slowly, "Naijian." Have you read General Baili's national defense theory? General Baili has a saying that is very true. It's good to win. Defeat or not. Just keep fighting. This is the best strategy to deal with the Japanese. If the principal now negotiates with the Japanese. I am afraid that I will lose the hearts and minds of the people of the whole country. It does more harm than good to the principal. ”

"Yes. Can we still fight now? The losses of the army were too great. Tang Zongdi's eyes showed deep worry.

"Strategy is better than tactics. Battle of Songhu. We failed tactically. But strategically. We are victorious. There is no doubt that the main force of the Japanese army will advance westward along the Yangtze River. Not to mention. We are tired. Isn't the Japanese army tired as well. The Japanese army reinforced about 100,000 people. Our 49th Group Army also has more than 100,000 men. And there was also the 46th Group Army led by Guangting in the back. There are also more than 100,000 people. Liu Xiang was in Sichuan in the process of reorganizing the 26 th Group Army. I believe it will be possible to form it in a month at most. It only takes three months to replenish the soldiers lost in the Shanghai war. After three months of training. The troops will be able to recover. Zhuang Jihua spoke a little slowly. The tone is steady. Without the slightest ambiguity.

Tang Zong shook his head slightly, if he hadn't worked in Chongqing for so many years, he would have immediately retorted, and after being silent for a while, he asked softly: "Will the Japanese give us half a year?" And now Nanjing is in danger. ”

"The Japanese army also needs to be replenished, and not only Sichuan, but also Guangxi, Hubei, and Guangdong also have troops, and we have time, at least to buy time. Secondly, the Japanese army occupies so many places, can it not leave troops for defense? Look at southern Zhejiang, Hangzhou has been lost, the Japanese army has to keep at least 2,000 people, Shanghai has to keep at least 35,000 people, Suzhou has to keep 1,000 people, stay and stay, the Japanese army has already gone to at least one division, stepping on 300,000 people, how can you leave 100,000 people

Jiangxi Defense. There aren't many troops left to send out. ”

"As for Nanjing, it's better to say, let them, in this war, we don't fight with them for the gains and losses of one city or one place, but only want to destroy their living forces. It takes eighteen years to feed a Japanese soldier. Zhuang Jihua's tone became a little wandering, his gaze passed through the windshield, looking at the streets of Nanjing, the streets full of Jiangnan atmosphere, and the restless people on the streets.

The car moved slowly down the street, stopping from time to time to make way for those who were fleeing in a hurry, and the attendant in the front seat was so anxious that he pushed the door and yelled at the front.

"Nanjing will become a battlefield, will you organize a retreat?"

"Most of the government departments have been withdrawn." Tang Zong replied.

"What about the non-governmental sector? Schools, hospitals, and ordinary citizens, did they organize a retreat? Zhuang Jihua turned his head and stared at Tang Zong.

"Some of the situations are different, most of the public schools have begun to retreat, but mainly the universities, the situation of the secondary schools is not clear, and the church schools at that time did not want to leave, thinking that they were affiliated with the church and would be fine; The situation is the same with hospitals, public hospitals are beginning to retreat, church hospitals are reluctant to go, and as for the citizens, there is no one to organize. Tang Zong said simply.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head and objected, these people must be driven out of Nanjing, if possible, it is best for Nanjing to have only soldiers left. Zhuang Jihua didn't say much, Tang Zong just conveyed or executed, not made decisions, no matter how much he said, it was useless.

The car finally started again, and soon arrived at the Ministry of Military Affairs, Zhuang Jihua got out of the car and went straight to the conference room of the Ministry of Military Affairs, there were not many people in the conference room at the moment, but the military and political brains in Nanjing were already in the conference room, and everyone was talking together in twos and threes, obviously Chiang Kai-shek had not yet arrived.

Zhuang Jihua looked around the room, he knew a lot of people, in addition to He Yingqin and Lin Wei, there was also Xu Yongchang, who met in Beiping, and He Jian, who met in Nanjing some time ago.

Seeing Zhuang Jihua come in, Lin Wei came over to greet him first, and Zhuang Jihua also chatted with him casually, and at the same time quietly asked him about these two people.

Lin Wei couldn't help but be a little funny, this Zhuang Jihua was alone in the high-level, holding the three southwestern provinces, but he had no relationship with any life, and he did not encircle any forces, which may be one of the reasons why Chiang Kai-shek trusted him.

Lin Wei gently introduced that the older one was Tang Shengzhi, president of the Military Senate, and the younger one who was talking to Bai Chongxi was Liu Fei, vice minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Gu Zhenglun, commander of the military police, and Xu Yongchang, director of the General Office of the Central Military Commission.

"Cultural Revolution, you have been sharpening your knife for five years, and it will finally come in handy." Lin Wei said meaningfully.

Zhuang Jihua nodded carelessly, and then felt that the taste in his words was wrong: "Brother Weiwen, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Don't you know what it means?" Lin Wei said in a low voice: "The front-line troops have suffered serious losses and cannot stop the Japanese attack, and the chairman of the committee is considering the issue of defending Nanjing. They," Lin Wei raised his chin lightly: "None of them are in favor of defending Nanjing." ”

"What do you mean by headmaster?" Zhuang Jihua was very calm, he understood a little in his heart, no wonder he must rush to Nanjing today, and let him attend the meeting as soon as he got off the ship.

Lin Wei saw that he was very calm, and he couldn't help admiring in his heart, now defending Nanjing is not a good errand, the front-line armies are extremely tired and extremely consumed, and the morale of the Japanese army is extremely high, a brigade dares to carry out a long-distance pursuit, and I am afraid that the only way to defend Nanjing is to rely on the four divisions of Zhuang Jihua's 49th Group Army: "I heard that when you were in Guangzhou, whenever you encountered difficulties, the chairman of the committee would let you take action, and this time I am afraid that you will have to shoulder a heavy responsibility again." ”

Zhuang Jihua breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was willing to defend Nanjing, it was better than giving it to others, at least it would not create a Nanjing Massacre.

"If that's the case, then the four divisions can't go to the front line anymore for attrition." Zhuang Jihua made up his mind that the four divisions must stay, which is the main force to defend Nanjing.

"The chairman has arrived!"

With a loud shout, the movements of the people in the room immediately maintained a straight posture, Chiang Kai-shek in front and Yang Yongtai in the back, the two walked in quickly, and the honest Dai Li.

"You may be seated."

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he sat down, and the others sat down immediately. Chiang Kai-shek's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the room for a week and then said: "Today, we have summoned everyone to discuss two things, the first is that Tao Deman has sent news that the Japanese are willing to negotiate on the original terms, Mr. Changqing, you can read the Japanese conditions to everyone." ”

Yang Yongtai stood up and read the seven articles proposed by the Japanese to the congregational generals, Tang Zong's memory is good, most of the seven articles are about the same, at most they are the difference of individual words.

After Yang Yongtai finished reading, the conference room fell silent for a moment, this is not easy to say, it is to bear historical responsibility.
