Although Lu Wenzhao felt bad and anxious, he did not expect that he would definitely lose, because the heroic resistance of the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army gave him confidence.

Moreover, Shanghai is the largest economic and financial center and trading port in the East, the place where the interests of the great powers in China are most concentrated, and the center where the interests of the Kuomintang high-level converge.

For this reason, the European and American powers adopted a different attitude from that of the September 18 Incident, and exerted pressure on the European and American powers one after another.

On 2 February, Britain, France, the United States, and Italy jointly proposed a ceasefire between the two sides, and condemned the breach of international public law, such as the Covenant of the League of Nations and the Non-War Convention. Britain and the United States also jointly protested against Ben's use of the Public Concession as a base of operations; The British increased their troops in Shanghai, with 10 warships and more than 6,000 soldiers; The United States concentrated almost all of its warships in Asia in Shanghai, amounting to 17; The French presence in Shanghai also increased to more than 3,000 troops. The League of Nations also decided to convene a special meeting to discuss the Shanghai issue on 3 March when it convened a conference on the reduction of the army in Neva.

What's more, once the war expands in scale and becomes a long-lasting trend, the supply of the book will inevitably not be able to keep up, and it will be defeated if it is not defeated at that time.

"Mr. Han, where did you start?" After being stunned for a moment, Lu Wenzhao asked.

Han Lihong said: "Mr. Lu, think about it, if Chiang Kai-shek really wants to fight to the death with Yu himself, will he only send a Fifth Army?" He just couldn't stand the pressure, he just put on a show. ”

Lu Wenzhao's heart sank.

No more than Ticket Er and Zhang Yueming, he knew the detailed process since the outbreak of the war, so it was easier for him to agree with Han Lihong's judgment than Ticket Er and Zhang Yueming.

On his own side, he is indifferent, and he keeps reinforcing himself, eliminating the strengths of the other, and the result can be known without asking.

As for why Ben didn't advance into Nanjing, but wanted a truce, Lu Wenzhao didn't need Han Lihong to say, he himself understood the reason.

The heroic resistance of the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army chilled his feverish brain, knowing that relying on sea transportation and supplies alone would not be able to expand the results of the war, let alone resist the subsequent intervention of the United States and Britain.

This result, in fact, if you think about it deeply, Lu Wenzhao can think of it himself, but he doesn't want to think about it and don't want to face it.

At this time, Lu Wenzhao no longer had the slightest contempt for Han Lihong, he was silent for a long time, he raised his head, looked at Han Lihong, and asked solemnly: "Mr. Han, how do you think the situation will develop in the future?" ”

Han Lihong's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "Mr. Lu, I think that Chairman Chiang's wish will definitely be frustrated, and he will eventually start a full-scale war against China, and Shanghai will also become a base for a full-scale invasion of China in the future." ”

"Ahh Lu Wenzhao was taken aback and asked, "How is this possible?" ”

Although it is much more advanced than China in all aspects, it is no matter how advanced it is, the country is too small compared to China after all, and its national strength is limited, and this determines that it can bully China, but it would be crazy to want to conquer China in an all-round way.

Moreover, if he wants to conquer China in an all-round way, this is not only a matter between China and China, but there are so many great powers that they will never allow China to monopolize China.

This kind of thinking of Lu Wenzhao is very common, Chiang Kai-shek thinks so, and many people think this way.

Yes, this idea would have been good, but who would have thought that it would be so crazy? Also, the outbreak of World War II.

In fact, although the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has brought the Chinese people great suffering, from another point of view, this is a great blessing for the Chinese nation.

At that time, the company was divided into two factions, one faction advocated reaping the benefits of the situation and consolidating the fruits of victory in the northeast, while the other faction advocated taking advantage of China's weakening national strength to conquer the whole of China in one fell swoop.

In the end, the latter faction, whose claim to total conquest of China, prevailed.

For the Chinese nation, this is truly a blessing in misfortune.

If there had been no 77 Incident and no full-scale war of aggression against China, the Chinese nation might have really declined, and there would have been no possibility of its rise.

If he had not gone mad, then he would have been able to meet the two sides in the Second World War, and his role would have been more advantageous than that of the United States.

At that time, taking advantage of the fact that the Western powers were all involved in the war, they would accumulate strength and consolidate the land they had already occupied, so that after the war, in addition to the mainland, Benben would at least possess the three eastern provinces, Rehe Province, Inner and Outer Mongolia, Korea, Taiwan, and possibly even a large area of land in Siberia.

In this way, regardless of the outcome of World War II, Ben will dominate Asia and become one of the most powerful countries in the world.

If this is the case, is there any hope for China? The answer is no, the answer is that China will become dough in the hands of the great powers such as the Lord, and the answer is that China will continue to be divided, and Xinjiang Province, Tibet Province, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi Province, ......

This was all what Han Lihong had just thought of, and in an instant, cold sweat soaked his back.

It's horrible!

Fortunately, at the most critical moment, the so-called elites who decided the fate of the country were all blind. They are now, seventy years later, still, and this is the ultimate fate of the Ben.

It seems that in the dark, there is a way of heaven.

After being afraid for a while, Han Lihong said: "Mr. Lu, whether or not they have the determination to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China now, they will definitely do this preparation, and they will definitely complete the most favorable attack posture for launching a full-scale war of aggression against China." ”

Lu Wenzhao was puzzled, he was stunned and asked, "What attack situation?" ”

Han Lihong explained: "Mr. Lu, the so-called offensive posture is to occupy Rehe and Chahar provinces, and then try to promote the autonomy of North China. ”

Occupying Rehe is tantamount to putting the muzzle of the gun on the gate of Beiping, Lu Wenzhao asked in surprise: "If Ben invades Rehe and Cha Province, can the national political axe still retreat?" ”

Sighing softly, Han Lihong said, "Mr. Lu, I think the national political axe still has to be retreated." ”

Shaking his head, Lu Wenzhao said: "If that's the case, wouldn't it be the whole of North China to Yue himself?" No way! ”

Han Lihong didn't speak.

After a pause, Lu Wenzhao said again: "Even if it is true that as you said, Yueben invaded and occupied Rehe and Cha Province, I feel that it is unlikely that Yueben will be so crazy and launch a full-scale war of aggression against China." ”

Who would normally think that my ambition is? Shaking his head slightly, Han Lihong said, "I said that I took the Manchu Qing as an example. ”

Lu Wenzhao shook his head and said, "That's different. ”

Han Lihong nodded and said, "It's different, but I think it's the same." ”

Lu Wenzhao was silent.

After a while, Han Lihong said again: "Mr. Lu, I don't have the ability to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China now, but that doesn't mean that I won't have it in the future. ”

Lu Wenzhao was still silent, he knew what Han Lihong meant, and said that he occupied the Eastern Province and would use the Eastern Province to quickly accumulate strength.

After a long time, Lu Wenzhao asked: "Mr. Han, if it is really unfortunate that you say it, then what do you think will be the outcome of the war?" ”

Without hesitation, Han Lihong said: "I will lose, we will win." ”

Lu Wenzhao asked, "Why?" ”

Han Lihong said: "The only possible hope for victory is to force the national political axe to surrender as soon as possible, if it can't be done, then the war will be entangled, and once entangled, then the shortcomings of the country's lack of strength will be more and more affected with the passage of time." ”

After being silent for a long time, Lu Wenzhao looked at Han Lihong and said, "Mr. Han is here today, won't it be just to relieve Lu?" ”

Han Lihong smiled: "Of course not, I just want you to help me." ”

"Ugh." With a slight sigh, Lu Wenzhao said, "I don't know what Lu can help Mr. Han?" ”

Han Lihong said with a straight face: "Mr. Lu, I want to take precautions, I want to pull up a team, if the war really breaks out in the future, I can also make a little effort for the country and the people." ”

Today's words, Lu Wenzhao can be sure that Han Lihong is by no means an ordinary person, he pondered for a while, and said, "If Mr. Han needs money, Lu can help." ”

Han Lihong shook his head and said, "I want Mr. Lu to help more than just money. ”

Lu Wenzhao was a little strange, he asked, "Mr. Han doesn't want money, so what do you want?" ”

Han Lihong smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, let me sell it, and I won't talk about it for the time being." ”

Lu Wenzhao said: "Mr. Han is casual, when he needs to, when he speaks, Lu will definitely be a little weak." ”

"Then I'll thank Mr. Lu in advance." With that, Han Lihong stood up and said, "I've bothered Mr. Lu today, then I'll leave." ”

Lu Wenzhao also stood up, and he personally sent Han Lihong out of the mansion.
