Tianjin, facing the Bohai Sea in the east and Yanshan in the north, is located in the lower reaches of the Haihe River, spanning the two sides of the Haihe River. It is the transportation throat and ocean shipping port of the railway from Beiping to the northeast and East China. It is known as the "pioneering rivers and seas" and the gateway of the capital and auxiliary portal".

Such a fertile land is also the capital city of Hebei Province. Zhang Hanqing is willing to hand it over to himself? Lu Shan would not believe it at all.

Tianjin is also the headquarters of the Japanese North China Garage Army, and the great powers even opened up concessions in Tianjin.

Lu Shan won’t be fooled. Tianjin is an enclave for Dong Kang. This is certainly a piece of fat. If you want to stretch your neck to eat it, then I’m sorry, someone will cut your head with one knife!

If Dong Kang controls Tianjin, the Japanese should be frightened and uneasy, which will aggravate the instability in North China.

Lu Shan knew clearly that although he fought with Kanto's arms several times and achieved some victory, the overall strength of Dong Kang was not as good as that of Japan.

Let me put it this way, Dong Kang used his hard work to repel the Kwantung Army, and Japan's war potential was not launched at all. The losses were only a drop in the bull. The war was not fought in Japan.

In addition to the casualties of soldiers, Japan's gains benefited compared to the losses.

The war is on its own land, and the casualties paid by Dong Kang does not have to be small. Such victory can only be said to be the spiritual victory of the weak!

Repelling the enemy is not a victory, only annihilation of the enemy is the real victory!

Lu Shan focused on the future, a base area, which took five to ten years to grow and grow, waiting for the decisive battle, rather than rushing to the front and being used as a gun!

Japan is unwilling to fail, they will provoke disputes, and North China will be the area they covet.

Lu Shan didn't want to intervene, but was concerned about local forces like North China. It caused regional turmoil, pain from relatives, and happiness from enemys, but he didn't have the strength, and he had not digested what he had eaten. If he wanted to eat it again, it would be easy to burst his stomach!

Also, he doesn't want to become a victim of these people's secret battles.

"The deputy commander-in-chief joked that Tianjin is the capital of Hebei. Give me Tianjin to me and let General Wang Shutang's Hebei Province go where? Also, you and I will give it to each other here. Can Nanjing agree?" Lu Shan said. "I don't have a soldier in the pass. I don't know who to give it to me for such a huge Tianjin?"

"Director Lu, you recommend one person to be the mayor of Tianjin, and Wang Yizhe will be the commander of Tianjin's security. Tianjin was designated from Hebei Province and became a special city in Tianjin. Before that, Tianjin was a special city directly under the government. The capital of Hebei could be moved to Baoding!" Zhang Hanqing said.

"The mayor I recommend is just a decoration, right?" Lu Shan asked bluntly. Just as he was a three-year-old child, he was responsible for all the risks, but you dragged me into the quagmire in order to protect his elite troops. How could such a good thing be in the world?

"Director Lu, don't be angry first. In fact, you need a stable estuary more than me. Tianjin is the most suitable one. Am I right?" Zhang Hanqing was not angry, but asked calmly.

Lu Shan couldn't deny it. Yes, he wanted to have a stable outlet so that he could import equipment and weapons from abroad, etc.!

If Tianjin is controlled, this can be done completely. You can also bypass Nanjing. The freighter can directly dock at the Tianjin wharf, saving a lot of trouble!

However, there are Japanese garrison troops in Tianjin and Japanese concessions. The Japanese are very powerful. If they are handled improperly, it is easy for the war to be detonated in advance!

But Tianjin is indeed the closest sea outlet to it, and it is still under the control of the Chinese.

If Tianjin is in his own hands, it will indeed have many conveniences, and it will accelerate the development of North Manchuria.

However, if I really take over Tianjin, many people will probably be unable to sleep or eat, and they will try their best to stop it.

So, even if he wants to eat Tianjin, even if Zhang Hanqing supports it, it will be very difficult, especially if he has no foundation in Tianjin.

"All the Northeast Army's industries in Tianjin belong to you, and only one of my apartments in Tianjin is retained!" Zhang Hanqing added another weight!

Lu Shan did not intend to move, you left. If I take over Tianjin, these industries of the Northeast Army will be accepted by me sooner or later. This is not a condition.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I think so. We can form a joint command center to unify all the troops along the Great Wall. Your four divisions join in and establish a deep defense system, divided into the first and second echelons to prepare for possible provocations or attacks by the Japanese army?" Lu Shan weighed for a moment. He was unwilling to take risks at this time. Once the decision was wrong, it would give Dong Kang a devastating blow.

"Director Lu, please tell me?" Zhang Hanqing frowned slightly.

"This is my initial idea. To prevent provocations or attacks that the Japanese army may launch, we can make a defense plan, take the Great Wall as the first line of defense, deploy relevant forces as the first echelon, and then take a step back and arrange the second line of defense, as the second echelon, and so on, there can be a third echelon, or more!" Lu Shan said, "As long as we fix the troops in the defense zone, if Nanjing wants to mobilize us, we must have considerable strength to fill it. Where does this filling force come from, and who is willing to come?" Lu Shan said his thoughts.

"This is just a stopgap measure and there is no binding force at all. Director Lu, your idea won't work!" Zhang Hanqing said in a bloody mood.

The Republic of China has been established for 22 years. The country has not yet ended its disputes, civil wars continue, and the changes in the king's flag on the city wall happen every day.

Although Lu Shan’s idea is good, even if the Eastern Anti-Japanese and Northeast Army work together, will the others be united?

As long as there is a slight shake, this deep defense system will fall apart and become fragmented.

At that time, you will lose no money in East Anti-Japanese War. Chiang Kai-shek will not be able to mobilize your troops, but his troops will not work!

This is the pain of losing territory and becoming rootless duckweed.

Perhaps if you had the courage to fight at the beginning, at least you could guarantee that half of the northeast would not have fallen to such a level.

However, in the battle between the Middle East and Central Road, he lost the war and the courage, and did not have the courage to fight to the death with the Japanese army.

Now he regrets it, but it's too late.

Of course, the dishonest thoughts cannot withstand refutation. Lu Shan also knew that even if they were done, it was just a temporary solution.

Zhang Hanqing still doesn’t know when he will come back after this spell, three years, five years, or longer?

He was also mentally unsure and lost his army. Without a gun, his dignified deputy commander-in-chief of the sea, land and air was just a vacant air.

"Director Lu, I still stick to my ideas. The Japanese have ambitions for North China, and now you are the only one who can suppress the Japanese. As long as you are in Tianjin, they dare not move abnormally and can keep the peace in North China!" Zhang Hanqing said earnestly.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, you overestimate me!" Lu Shan smiled bitterly. Tianjin is a powder keg, a quagmire, and he really doesn't want to get involved.

Once the East Anti-Japanese war is involved in the North China affairs, the Japanese should be nervous, and at the same time, Han Xiangfang from Shandong and Yan Baichuan from Shanxi are nervous.

Can these people not be alert?

Even Chiang Kai-shek would obstruct the eastward resistance and enter the pass. It was a nightmare for the Japanese army, but for these local powerful factions with their own thoughts, it was also a signal!

Even if Lu Shan shouted, I was not here to grab the territory. This was something that Zhang Xiaoliu begged for nothing and insisted on giving it to me!

But who would believe this?

Who would give such a strategic place to others? Is Xiao Liuzi stupid to suck opium ointment?

"No, you won consecutive victories in the Northeast. The Japanese have long been chilling towards you. This is the Japanese nation. They can be said to be cruel and unjust to the weak, but they will be extremely awe of the strong. When they are not absolutely sure to defeat their opponents, they will be very tolerant!" Zhang Hanqing said.

Lu Shan nodded. Zhang Hanqing's analysis of the Japanese personality is correct. This is the characteristic of the Japanese nation!

He is extremely respectful to the strong and bullies the weak.

But Lu Shan also needs to make comprehensive considerations and accept Tianjin. It is not an hour. Even if he agrees, he must have a comprehensive plan.

Of course, he still tends to refuse!

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, this matter is too serious. I don't think I can decide by myself, but can I go back and think about it?" Lu Shan said.

Lu Shan was very confused. On the one hand, he was unwilling to interfere in North China and was determined to develop and strengthen himself and prepare for the outbreak of future wars.

But it is impossible to develop quietly. The external environment is so harsh, and the various talents, materials, equipment, technology, etc. needed for development need to be introduced or purchased from the outside!

He needs a relatively stable channel!

Zhang Hanqing hit his weakness all of a sudden!

The Japanese were unwilling to watch the development and growth of the East Anti-Japanese War. They may not directly use war means, but Japan could completely blockade the East Anti-Japanese War.

Then, except for receiving assistance from the Soviet Union, the assistance in other aspects will be minimal. As for Nanjing, they are not enough!

Then you can only obtain it from a third country. Once the Dongkang obtains aid or transaction from a third country, the Japanese will definitely pursue and block it from various channels, disrupt the transaction and assistance to achieve the purpose of blockade!

Zhang Hanqing also understood that this decision was difficult to make. If Lu Shan agreed immediately, he would think it was a wrong decision.

But Lu Shan refused several times and even gave him some advice. Obviously, Director Lu, who was more than ten years younger than him, saw through his thoughts.

However, he was still hesitant in his heart, perhaps because of the incense relationship between him and the Northeast Army, or perhaps for some other reason.

At the same time, Zhang Hanqing also knew that even if Lu Shan agreed, it would be very difficult to operate this matter.

Nanjing may find it difficult to accept his decision, not to mention that he has stepped down, and the generals of the Northeast Army will also object!

It will be very difficult for him to convince these two aspects, and he cannot let the outside world know in advance, otherwise the resistance will be greater!

Therefore, this can not be solved by just a private consultation between two people.

"Please give me an answer as soon as possible. I haven't stayed in Peking for long!" Zhang Hanqing said slowly.

"Don't worry, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, at least three days, no more than half a month at most. Lu Shan must give the Deputy Commander-in-Chief an accurate reply!" Lu Shan nodded.

"Okay, then we'll make up for it!" Zhang Hanqing nodded, and he believed Lu Shan's promise.

"A word is determined!" Lu Shan said solemnly, "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, it's almost time. It's time for me to board the plane. Take care of yourself and say goodbye!"

"I can do it!" Zhang Hanqing nodded and called out, "Tan Hai, take Director Lu to the airport for me."

"Yes, Director Lu, please!"

"Lu Shan, if I had discovered a talent like you, maybe today would be different!" Zhang Hanqing looked at Lu Shan's departure back and murmured to himself.

"My master, what did you say to this person named Lu?" Miss Zhao Si appeared behind Zhang Hanqing and asked whisperedly.

"Women, don't worry about politics!" Zhang Hanqing rebuked lightly.

"Also, don't call him Director Lu or General Lu, either!"

"Isn't it just a lucky soldier? What's so great about it!" Miss Zhao Si said contemptuously.

"What do you know!" Zhang Hanqing glared at her, "Cleaning up, we will go back to Peking tomorrow."

"Yes, my master!" Miss Zhao Si pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hey!" Zhang Hanqing sighed, Xiao Si, I really spoiled you.

"What did Mr. Lu, Zhang Hanqing tell you?"

Feng Yun was almost dying at the airport. The plane was about to be in an atmosphere ten minutes later, but Lu Shan disappeared for a long time. Fortunately, he finally arrived before the plane took off.

After getting on the plane and after taking off, Feng Yun couldn't help asking curiously.

"Let's talk about it when you go back!" Lu Shan ignored him. The problem he talked with Zhang Hanqing was too serious. Although there were all his own people in the cabin, the pilot was separated by an iron door and the wall was separated by an ear.
