Chapter 238 Warm-up before the military parade!
On October 25, the Kuomintang officially announced the signing of a peace agreement with the Japanese.
The Japanese handed over all regions except Shanghai to the Kuomintang to express their friendship with the Chinese people. As for Shanghai, they will return it to China within three years, and will be subject to Japan's jurisdiction within these three years.
At the same time, Japan will provide a large amount of free aid and military loans to the Kuomintang so that the Kuomintang can resist the invasion from the evil 98th Army.
In addition, Japan will return the military relics seized from China to China in the next few years.
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar because it did not mention any compensation issues to China.
Since the war of aggression against China, Japan has carried out large-scale bombings on China. I don’t know how many civilians were killed by the Japanese and how many houses were blown up by Japan.
Now there is no explanation!
This certainly aroused the anger of the people across the country!
If China is not strong enough, they may endure it, but now with the support of the 98th Army, they believe that the country is still able to recover the blood debt.
So a large-scale demonstration spontaneously started across the country. Countless people shouted the slogan of the Japanese getting out of China and took to the streets. They all asked that the Japanese should not only respect the Chinese Daoqian, but also follow the requirements of the 98th Army.
Make compensation.
Even the leaders of major warlords were not satisfied with this peace agreement, because some of the agreements were too vague.
For example, Japan will return the military relics seized from China to China in the next few years. How many years will it be? 10 years or 20 years? Or 100 years?
How many other cultural relics are there? More than a dozen times or thousands of them?
The operable empty parts here are too big.
Therefore, Li Zongren and others also spoke out, expressing their dissatisfaction with the peace agreement, believing that China suffered a great loss in this agreement.
Faced with this kind of opposition from the whole nation, Chiang Kai-shek could only send envoys and grant officials the promise of the warlords.
Now it is not as good as before. With the 98th Army, a great enemy, he must listen carefully to the opinions of those local warlords, otherwise they may turn to the 98th Army in full.
What surprised people was that the 98th Army did not comment too much on this agreement, but said that the Japanese would interfere in China's internal affairs and regret that there was nothing else. Then they began to prepare for military parades and military exercises with all their might.
The country has been very lively recently. In addition to the peace agreement, the 98th Army's military parade and military exercises are the most attractive. Now all kinds of rumors about the military parade and military exercises are spreading everywhere.
It is said that in order to prepare for this military exercise, even some troops participating in the Northeast war were transferred back to Jiyuan.
It is also rumored that in order to show its military strength to the greatest extent, the 98th Army planned to use more than 100,000 troops and thousands of tanks to participate in the military parade.
When many people think of thousands of tanks and heavy artillery, they were deeply moved. When did China have such a powerful army?
Therefore, in addition to the major forces, those who believe that they have the strength to bet on the side in the future war also sent their own personnel to Jiyuan in order to understand the real strength of the 98th Army.
For a moment, Jiyuan was filled with crowds of people and celebrities gathered.
And Chen Cheng arrived in Jiyuan under this situation.
This time, Zhang Yushu was still here to pick him up, but this time his attitude was different from last time, and he seemed particularly confident.
"Sorry, Commander Chen. Today our military squad has a very full schedule. I'm afraid we won't be able to see you anymore."
After arranging Chen Cheng to a car, Zhang Yushu said to Chen Cheng with a humble look on his face.
"Oh. I didn't expect that your military captains were so busy that they didn't even have time to meet the people sent by the central government. I wonder who you military captains were planning to meet today?"
After hearing his words, Chen Cheng was stunned at first, and then said sarcastically.
"Our military throne schedule was already arranged a few days ago. Today he will meet with the Japanese envoy, Okamura Yasuji, the envoy of Director Yan of Shanxi, and the ministers of Britain and France. In addition, he will also arrange some
Matters of military exercises.”
Zhang Yushu said with a smile on his face, as if he had not heard the irony in his words.
"You even invited the Japanese?"
Chen Cheng said with surprise.
"That's right, our 98th Army has always won by the king's way, and we are never afraid of some clowns spying on our strength."
Zhang Yushu said confidently.
After hearing his words, Chen Cheng looked dark.
Who else is the clown in his mouth besides the Military Control Commission and the Japanese spies?
Soon the convoy left the airport. In order to protect Chen Cheng's safety, Lu Mingxuan made very detailed arrangements and sent out a total of 8 wheeled armored personnel carriers and two M8 wheeled armored vehicles.
Chen Cheng took a casual look at the armored vehicles, and then said to Zhang Yushu: "I wonder if Colonel Zhang can reveal the content of your military parade in advance? I am very curious about this. I heard that your army went to the military parade for this military parade.
He made a lot of money and planned to use more than 100,000 troops."
"Although it's not too far after spending a lot of money."
Zhang Yushu said with a smile.
"As for the content of the military parade, please forgive me for keeping me here. Our military officer gave an order, and this must not be disclosed in advance. But what I can guarantee is that it is definitely a shocking scene that will never be forgotten by everyone for life.
.”
"Is that true? I will see what big scenes your army can create at that time."
Although Chen Cheng looked indifferent on the surface, his mood was not at all relaxed.
Because he knew that if Lu Mingxuan was willing, he would definitely have the ability to create a huge scene that was extremely shocking.
Once the families in China who are changing their minds find that the strength of the Kuomintang is far inferior to that of the 98th Army, then they are likely to surrender to the 98th Army behind their backs, and then the Kuomintang will be really in danger.
When Chen Cheng thought of this, he felt extremely worried.
He knew what kind of virtues are among some big families in China. He could even do something like betting on the Japanese, the Kuomintang, and the Communist Party, let alone surrendering to the 98th Army.
"Actually, our military captains value Commander Chen very much. Why didn't Commander Chen turn to our military captain? I believe that Commander Chen will definitely be highly valued by my military captain. Why do you have to die on the Kuomintang tree?"
Zhang Yushu said to Chen Cheng.
"Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not served the second master, and the chairman is so kind to me. How can I betray the chairman? You should not say such words again, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Chen Cheng said coldly.
"So good."
Zhang Yushu smiled and said.
In fact, he did not have much confidence in winning over Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng is now the de facto second-in-command of the Kuomintang and is deeply trusted by Chiang Kai-shek. These are things that Lu Mingxuan cannot give.
He did this just because of Lu Mingxuan's instructions.
"Since your military throne doesn't have time to see me, I'll take a look around. Last time I came in a hurry and didn't have time to see the scenery of Jiyuan. I heard that your industrial expo was very lively, so why not take me to see it?
one time."
Chen Chengyi said with some meaning.
"Of course there is no problem. Even if Commander Chen doesn't mention it, we will arrange for Commander Chen to visit our Industrial Expo."
Zhang Yushu said with a smile on his face.
"You must know that there are many good things at our industrial expo, in addition to various industrial finished products, there are also various production lines, such as production lines for producing bicycles, motorcycles, cars, and tractors. You must know our tractors
The production line can be converted into a tank."
"Oh, do you sell your tractor production line?"
Chen Cheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up after hearing his words.
But soon he realized, how could the 98th Army sell them? So he quickly changed his words and said, "Okay, just pretend that I didn't say what I said just now."
Zhang Yushu also laughed loudly and stopped mentioning what he said just now.
Not long after, they arrived on a big road, and the convoy drove quickly along the big road towards the city.
Soon Chen Cheng discovered that there were a large number of checkpoints on this road, and at least five tanks were deployed on each checkpoint.
In addition, there are basically two grams and a large number of soldiers stationed every two hundred meters.
Seeing this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but frown tightly.
"Why did you send so many tanks and soldiers to maintain public order? Do they don't need to train?"
Chen Cheng said to Zhang Yushu.
Zhang Yushu said with a smile: "No more, no more! Not much at all! It's just more than 1,000 tanks and 20,000 soldiers! You should know that we have come here recently. If these big shots come out, they will be a little bit.
We can't afford any accidents. So we had to send a large number of tanks and soldiers to maintain public order."
After hearing his words, Chen Cheng couldn't help but take a breath.
Isn’t this a lot?
And it's just maintaining public order. Do they need to send so many tanks?
Chen Cheng can guarantee that they did this on purpose, and the 98th Army has already begun to show its strength since now.
Looking at the people outside who were pointing around the tank, Chen Cheng couldn't help but feel worried.
When people discovered that the 98th Army had such strong strength, how many people were willing to follow the Kuomintang?
Zhang Yushu was very happy when he saw Chen Cheng's uncertain face.
At first, he was very puzzled by Lu Mingxuan's spending a lot of financial resources and material resources to hold a so-called military parade and military exercise that he didn't know, but as time went by, he felt more and more the beauty of the military throne doing this.
Judging from the information he has collected in the past few days, these more than 1,000 tanks alone make people feel very awe of the strength of the 98th Army.
After a series of battles, I'm afraid the total tanks of the Kuomintang and Japan were less than 1,000, not to mention that the tanks of the 98th Army were far stronger than those of the Kuomintang and the Japanese.
What's more, I saw thousands of tanks and heavy artillery of the 98th Army a few days later. How many people are confident of continuing to fight against the 98th Army? This is the real army that will defeat others without fighting. Zhang Yushu's approach to Lu Mingxuan
I can be said to be extremely impressed.
After several miles, the convoy finally arrived in front of a huge hall.
"Commander Chen, we're here."
Zhang Yushu said.
Chen Cheng nodded, and after that, he opened the door and walked down.
I just don’t know why he had a premonition, and he would definitely encounter something here that he was very reluctant to see.
Chapter completed!
