Immediately after the Supreme Council of Japan's Dispatch Army, Shirakawa Yoshinori contacted the Shanghai government to express the Japanese side's desire to actively seek a peaceful settlement of the Shanghai dispute.

The Shanghai government, which had already been occupied by the Japanese army, was of course overjoyed by the unilateral overtures made by the Japanese army, and immediately conveyed the Japanese request to the Nationalist Provisional Government in Luoyang.

Commander Chiang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard this, and immediately ordered the southern troops to postpone their northward march and rest on the spot to wait for the final order.

He then immediately sent several government officials to Shanghai to consult with the Japanese representatives on the peaceful settlement of the Shanghai dispute.

Dai Li saw that there was really hope for a peaceful settlement of the Shanghai dispute, and couldn't help but admire Li Tie greatly: "This little brother of his own time has been harmed, he really let the Red Bandits suspend the attack, and he really let the Japanese military take the initiative to sue for peace."

Of course, he also let himself change Commander Jiang's order without authorization, although I don't know what the effect of this is, but you can imagine how deep the water is? How complicated is the sermon? ”

In any case, Dai Li can see that this little brother Li Tie is not as harmless as he seems on the surface, and all kinds of signs indicate that his relationship with the base-organization-organization is really unclear.

No matter what his identity is, as long as he is good to himself and the country, he will not demolish Li Tie, and he will defend Li Tie everywhere.

However, since Li Tie's identity is so special, then the third cousin recommended by Li Tie is probably not ordinary. Do you want to guard against him? Or continue to reuse him? Alas, this is a real headache.

When the Nationalist Government learned that Japan had taken the initiative to sue for peace, there was jubilation from top to bottom, but now the Japanese army had a clear advantage, not only occupying the entire urban area of Shanghai, but also driving 50,000 Shanghai defenders to the Shanghai service area.

Although there are still more troops in various parts of China, it is really impossible to transfer so many troops from various places to Shanghai and then organize an offensive in less than ten days and half a month.

However, once the Japanese army does not want to negotiate peace and wants to expand the results of the war, it will be very easy for the Japanese army in Shanghai to eat Jiang Guangnai's 50,000 defenders first, and then turn south and north to capture Hangzhou, or Nanjing.

This was because the current lack of troops in these two places was a good time to attack, but the Japanese army not only stopped attacking, but instead asked for peace talks, which really greatly surprised the Nationalist Government and even people of insight among the people.

So when the news spread in China, it naturally caused jubilation in the government.

Contrary to the Chinese government's reaction, when Shirakawa Yoshinori brought the news of the peace talks with China back to Japan, the main war party in Japan attacked Shirakawa Yoshinori in a big way, saying that he was a traitor to Japan.

Many Japanese soldiers went to Shirakawa Yoshinori's house to make trouble, and there were even those who threatened to kill Shirakawa Yoshinori's family.

Of course, these terrorist acts were forcefully suppressed by the Japanese police before they were carried out. Because Shirakawa Yoshinori's actions were approved by the Emperor of Japan.

The Japanese emperor also personally sent a telegram of commendation to the Shanghai army, in which he praised Shirakawa Yoshinori for his immortal exploits and told Shirakawa Yoshinori.

As long as the joint talks are signed, the Shanghai Dispatch Army will be disbanded on the spot, and in addition to maintaining the original troops, part of the rest of the troops will be withdrawn to the country, and part will be reinforced in the northeast.

At the same time, the emperor also promised in a telegram that he would reward Shirakawa Yoshinori with the nobility of a baron, and he would be officially honored after his return.

The continuous good news made Shirakawa Yoshinori's bones lighter, and he was full of fighting spirit, and he seemed to be a lot younger, and he had already recruited Shanghai's high-level courtesans for three consecutive days and nights.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still a lot of military situations that he needed to deal with, he would want to sing songs every night and ignore the government.

In this way, with the positive response of the Chinese government, with the joint efforts of ministers from various countries, and with the single-minded promotion of Shirakawa Yoshinori. Although the armistice agreement went through several twists and turns, under the bottom line that both sides wanted to negotiate together, a basic agreement was finally reached and made public.

This agreement stipulated that Shanghai would henceforth be an undefended city, and all squadrons would be withdrawn to the front line of Hangzhou, while Japan would only retain the 2,500-strong marines that existed before the war and continue to be stationed in the Japanese concession. On the surface, Shanghai has returned to its former calm.

At the same time, with regard to the losses of both sides, the agreement adopted the Spring and Autumn brushwork method, that is, it did not mention that Japan first attacked Shanghai without reason, nor did it mention that Japan blew up nearly 20,000 houses, bombed thousands of shops, and even destroyed dozens of schools of various types, including Tongji University, Li Tie's alma mater.

In the agreement, only one sentence was used, because China and Japan have suffered losses from each other, and everyone does not compensate each other, and from then on, the two do not owe each other, but pass them off.

At the same time, the agreement stipulates that a corresponding number of police forces can be retained in Shanghai.

If a military conflict breaks out in various parts of Shanghai, it can be resolved through consultation among the major powers of various countries, and China and Japan must not start a war lightly.

The agreement will come into effect on May 5. This announcement will be made separately if there are major changes.

As soon as this agreement came out, it also aroused opposition from patriots from all walks of life in Shanghai, because there was no Chinese garrison in Shanghai, so Shanghai would not become meat on the board from now on, and the Japanese would not cut the butcher's knife if they wanted to.

However, the Nationalist Government was bent on ending the war as soon as possible, although the masses from all walks of life in Shanghai marched and demonstrated every day, and at the same time, the officers and men of the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army also petitioned every day to fight again. But Commander Chiang ignored it. He was determined to end this war. As for what happened to Shanghai as an undefended city, isn't there still a police force? If it really doesn't work, you can let the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army take off their military uniforms and put on police clothes. These common people are ordinary people, not at all like us officials who are easy to use, we all know the way to work. These people know that when they run into the dark, they are about to hit the wall, so why don't they know how to turn the corner? Commander Jiang complained in his heart about the IQ of Shanghai citizens. He ordered the negotiators in Shanghai to fully accept the Japanese side's conditions.

Therefore, this Songhu armistice agreement was adopted amid the curses of surrendering to the enemy and betraying the country.

Because the Shanghai War of Resistance was a great victory for the Japanese army, General Shirakawa decided to hold a celebration meeting to celebrate the victory of the Sino-Japanese Songhu War in Hongkou Park in Shanghai on the birthday of the Japanese emperor, that is, on April 29.

The citizens of Shanghai were extremely indignant when the news came out of the news of the celebration of Japan's victory in China, but the celebration was also a military parade of the Japanese army, which was to be attended by 15,000 Japanese soldiers.

Moreover, the whole congress was only allowed to be attended by Japanese, Koreans and Taiwanese, so many patriots who wanted to take the opportunity to infiltrate the congress and make trouble did not succeed.

After more than a month of consultations, China and Japan finally reached an agreement, and as long as it was signed and put into effect on 5 May, Commander Chiang, as the Nationalist Government, was overjoyed, and the troops in the south did not need to be transferred to Shanghai, and he could be regarded as having received Li Tie's 30 million yuan in war funds for nothing.

However, Jiang Guangnai, the commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, as the main battle faction, and Cai Tingkai were all resentful, and the defense in the Jiading area was still within the scope of the Shanghai service area.

However, with the acceleration of the Sino-Japanese peace talks, Commander Chiang repeatedly ordered the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army to withdraw from Shanghai and garrison in the vicinity of Hangzhou.

The Central Zhang Zhi of the Fifth Army was transferred to Nanjing to take over the defense of the 60th and 61st Divisions of the former 19th Route Army.

Because the Fifth Army was the main force of the Nationalist Army, Zhang Zhizhong could only obey orders, and on the day he received the order, he took the initiative to evacuate Shanghai and sail for Nanjing.

However, the 19th Route Army was not willing to lose, and the armistice agreement had not yet been signed, so it was really impossible to take the initiative to evacuate, otherwise it would cause Japan to take advantage of the situation and attack Nanjing and other places.

In the end, the 19th Route Army once again disobeyed Commander Chiang's order to withdraw his troops first. Now Shanghai has almost become an undefended city, and in their eyes, their 19th Route Army has the ability to protect the citizens of Shanghai until the moment they finish signing.

Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai asked for another battle several times, but they were suppressed by Commander Jiang, and the promised supplies and troop replenishment were also cut off, if it weren't for the support of the patriotic people in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles and Li Tie, their 19th Route Army would be hungry now.

However, it would not be possible for the 19th Route Army to withdraw immediately, because Chen Mingshu, the head of the 19th Route Army, also sent a telegram, asking them to obey the arrangements of the Nationalist Government and evacuate Shanghai.

The two of them could not listen to Lao Jiang's orders, but for their own food and clothing, their parents, and even the orders of their own top boss Chen Mingshu, the two had to listen.

Because when it comes to home, the 19th Route Army is actually Chen Mingshu's troops, and the two of them were Chen Mingshu's subordinates when they were soldiers.

The two had no choice but to secretly feel sad, only hating the weakness of the country and the weakness of the people, and they were powerless to fight. When the two packed up their army and prepared to leave for Hangzhou, patriots from all walks of life in Shanghai rushed to see each other off.

Looking at the citizens of Shanghai who were fighting against the Japanese army together, the two wept bitterly, and Li Tie also came to see them off, and gave them another million military expenses to let them be in Hangzhou in case of emergency.

After this Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Guangnai and Cai Junchang established a deep relationship with Li Tie, and both sides were admired by each other's feelings for the country and the people.

Li Tie admired the two of them for fighting for the country, daring to fight against the Japanese army's aircraft and artillery with flesh and blood, and still fighting to the death when the ammunition and food were exhausted.

Commander Cai and Jiang Guangnai admired Li Tie as a businessman and an ignorant young man, but his patriotism moved the world, not only donated hundreds of millions of net worth, but even his company's escort team was sent to the front line.

In the past month, the 19th Route Army has suffered more than 10,000 casualties, but his Li Tie's guards have also suffered nearly 1,000 casualties. Although Li Tie is wealthy. Almost all the casualties were covered with pensions.

However, nearly 100 million dollars spent did not save Shanghai's defeat. Jiang Guangnai and Commander Cai both felt sorry for Li Tie's generosity.

Li Tie is much more open-minded than the two, Li Tie deeply looked at the two battle-hardened generals, Li Tie remembered well, the two were defeated by Commander Jiang a year later, and until the establishment of New China, the two never led troops again.

In this way, two patriotic military talents and the Nationalist Government actually abandoned them. A few years later, who of the so-called generals under Commander Chiang could fight the same number of Japanese troops with such a large gap in equipment? It is no wonder that Commander Chiang finally sent people to Taiwan, completely to blame.

Therefore, Li Tie, who had just obtained the development rights of Hainan Island and was ready to work Hainan Island, couldn't help but put his mind on the two great talents.

"I look at the two of them with gloomy complexions, and I'm afraid that many things will not go well in the future. It's better to be like this, when the two of them are discouraged, can they give the brother a chance to get close?

The future escort team of my Huaxing company will at least develop into tens of thousands of people in the future, and I will invite two to give in at that time. ”

Jiang Cai and the others didn't expect Li Tie to openly recruit the two at this time. Jiang Guangnai thinks that even if he and Commander Cai are down, they will not be reduced to the point of working as a security guard for a company.

Commander Cai was very appreciative of Li Tie's sincerity, and said on the spot that if there was really such a day, he asked Li Tie not to be reluctant to spend money, because maybe he would raise an army to vote.

watched the two get into the car, and looked at the long line of the 19th Route Army. Li Tie was ruthless in his heart, and his mouth unconsciously sounded:

"Don't worry, I'll get you both of you. Hey? Why does that sound so awkward? Li Tie couldn't help but muttered to himself.
