"Peking Telegram, on April 18th, the Japanese Consulate Agency, Zhongshan Xiang, visited He Jingzhi. The two sides talked for about ten minutes, but the content was unknown!"

"Reported from the East China Station of the Intelligence Bureau, Executive Yuan Finance Minister Song Ziwen set out from Shanghai to the United States!"

"Reported from the Guangzhou Political Committee, we discussed going north to fight against Japan, and we officially elected General Cai Tingkai as the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese war in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian..."

"On the 19th, the United States abandoned the gold standard and replied to a ban on gold exports!"

...

"Huang Yu had a secret meeting with the Japanese Martial Arts Museum in Shanghai. Behind it was probably the secret instruction of Chiang Kai-shek, and the secret talk lasted for more than two hours. [br />

"It seems that the possibility of peace between the government and Japan has increased greatly!" Qin Shiyu sighed.

"This is unquestionable. But once the government and the Japanese start formal negotiations, what should we do?" Lu Shan said, "Even if we finally choose to endure, we cannot make any sound without making any sounds because of this. This is not normal!"

"Yes, we should have our opinions!" Ying Ruoyu said.

"I think we can follow the proposals of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Only when Japan agrees to accept the documents mediated by the League of Nations, we can negotiate with the Japanese side on the issue of arbitrage!" Qin Shiyu said.

"This is somewhat inconsistent with the principles we insisted on before. The people will think that we retreat and are afraid of the Japanese!"

"This is also impossible. If we stick to our principles and do not waver, there will be no room for maneuvering!"

"The Yuguan issue and the Rehe issue have little to do with us. If we don't get involved, our attitude is still the same. Japan first withdraws troops from Yuguan and then talks about the issue of arbitrage!" Lu Shan said.

"The Rehe issue is the same principle. We will not recognize any agreement reached based on this principle!" Lu Shan said, "This is our bottom line!"

"I'm afraid the Japanese will not agree to this!"

"It's okay if you don't agree. Let our army take back our territory in person!" Lu Shan said.

"I want to create a tension artificially. The Japanese are not using the joint fleet to put pressure on us. Their warships cannot be driven on land, and we cannot be blackmailed by the other party like this!" Lu Shan said.

"The 36th Division and the 183rd Division have completed the training work. It's been winter, so it's time to pull out and move your muscles!"

"Notify the publicity department. I will release a message to the outside world, saying that our 36th Division and the 41st Army of the East Anti-Japanese War will hold a confrontational act, and the time will be between late April and early May!" Lu Shan said.

"Do you tell Sun Kuiyuan?"

"Of course, we have to invite friendly troops to come and watch the exercise!" Lu Shan said with a smile, "I will be there in person at that time!"

"Okay. This method is good. Let's give the Japanese some color. Don't think that having a navy is great!" Ying Ruoyu said.

“What about the scale of the exercise?”

"The two sides each sent a brigade of troops to carry out live-force confrontation without plans within the designated area, successfully conquering the opponent's headquarters and destroying more than 70% of the opponent's troops as the winner!"

"Is this too general?" Ying Ruoyu asked.

"I just roughly set a framework and make a standard. We will have a good implementation in the future!"

"Okay, it's time for us to revise the charter for a live-fire confrontation exercise, otherwise the officers and soldiers would be at a loss!" Ying Ruoyu said.

"Draft it as soon as possible, and then hand it over to the Military Commission for review and approval. Make the charter!" Lu Shan said.

"Okay, I'll come up with a charter as soon as possible!"

Guyuan, the headquarters of the 41st Army.

"Military captain, Dong Kang sent a telegram to the exercise!" Adjutant Liu Tingjie walked into Sun Kuiyuan's command center.

"An exercise invitation telegram?"

"Yes. The Dong Kang side wants to hold a joint confrontation exercise with us, and each side will set up a brigade. There is no plan to fight in real soldiers to test the actual combat effectiveness of the troops!" Liu Tingjie said.

"Staff, what does this Dong Kang want to do?" Chief of Staff Feng Yangtian said, "Are you demonstrating to us?"

"Consultant Li, what do you think?"

"Military seat, I think Dong Kang's move may not be for us?" Li Yongsheng thought for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand and said.

"How to say it?"

"First of all, there is no rift between us and the Dong Kang. On the contrary, there are many cooperation between the two families. When we have difficulties, Dong Kang has extended his hand to help us. Moreover, Dong Kang has always abide by the agreement between our two armies. The 36th Division has never surpassed a step. Secondly, Dong Kang has no intention of annexing our army. If we really want to do this, we will not wait until now. Thirdly, only we are the closest distance from Dong Kang. I think this is still the other person's good intention. Dong Kang is a powerful force that has fought with Japanese arms. Fighting with real soldiers will definitely increase the combat effectiveness of our army. This is a great good thing. No matter how many people ask for it, they can't get it!"

"Consultant Li's words are reasonable. I think they have no malice. This is a good opportunity for us to understand the East Anti-Japanese War and increase our combat effectiveness!" Sun Kuiyuan was not stupid. The Forty-first Army had so many families. In terms of strength, I'm afraid even a division is worse than others, and they are not as rare as anyone else's mind!

"Will this expose our army's combat effectiveness?"

"If you are exposed, why not? Keep the headquarters in the office. When the war starts, it will be too late!"

"Consultant Li is right. The live-fire confrontation exercise is good for everyone, especially for us. Don't be afraid. If Dong Kang really has ideas about us, will we definitely be able to surrender?" Sun Kuiyuan said, "What's more, my 41st Army only has one brigade?"

"Martial Officer, I have a suggestion. I don't know if you want to listen!" said consultant Li Yongsheng.

"Consultant Li, please tell me!"

"Temporarily organize the most elite team of the Forty-first Army into a brigade to participate in this confrontation and act!" Li Yongsheng said.

"Is this necessary again?" Feng Yangtian said dissatisfied.

"If we don't want to lose too badly, I suggest that the military officers do what I said!" said Li Yongsheng.

"Li Yongsheng, do you mean we will definitely lose this live-fire confrontation exercise?"

"It's certain that you lose, but it's hard to say what level you lose. It depends on what they think!" Li Yongsheng said.

"It's ridiculous, I don't believe it. The Dong Kang is made of iron, and our 41st Army is made of mud!" Feng Yangtian said.

"According to my speculation, Dong Kang is conducting a confrontation exercise at this time, with the purpose of the Japanese!"

"Just for the Japanese, why don't they fight against the Japanese directly? What's the point of fighting with us?" Feng Yangtian said angrily.

"Does the genitals think Dong Kang doesn't want to fight with the Japanese?" Li Yongsheng smiled and said, "Actually, they want to fight but can't."

"why is that?"

"First, the power of the East Anti-Africa Army is difficult to compete with Japan. Japan's war potential has not yet been opened. Once it is fought, the weak foundation of the East Anti-Africa may not be the opponent of the Japanese. Second, if China and Japan are fully launched, the coastal and Yangtze River Basin will become the targets of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet. This is our most prosperous area now. Once these places are destroyed by war, the losses will be heavy. All the achievements of the Westernization Movement will be gone. Third, if Japan wants to negotiate with us, it will definitely put pressure on us to force us to agree to the harsh conditions they put forward. Remember the Sino-French War. We won the French but lost a lot at the negotiating table. Why? The poor people are weak!"

"What does that matter if this live-fire confrontation exercise?"

"It's a big deal to join the seat. The Sino-Japanese conflict is now concentrated in the north, North China and Northeast China. Peace talks must be held in North China. The Japanese threatened us with the navy. Of course, we can't be scared by it just like this. We should be rude!" Li Yongsheng said.

"What you mean is that the purpose of the exercise is to put pressure on the Japanese army and let them know that we are not easy to mess with!" Feng Yangtian finally understood!

"The military captain has understood a long time ago. This is to warn the Japanese that if you have warships on the sea, we are not afraid of you. If you really want to do it, we will accompany you!"

Jurentang, Zhongnanhai, Beiping.

"The East Anti-Japanese War will conduct a joint military exercise with the 41st Army at Rehe Eidang, and the time will be between late April and early May!" He Jingzhi was shocked when he received this news.

"Yes, the East Anti-Japanese Propaganda Department just sent this news to the outside world. In addition, Sun Kuiyuan of the 41st Army has agreed to send troops to participate in the exercise!" Secretary Xiong said.

"These two families are in harmony, and they cooperate well!" He Jingzhidao.

"Minister, they didn't notify us in advance when they conducted the exercise. Isn't that too unreasonable?" Secretary Xiong said.

"The Eastern Anti-Japanese War is not under the jurisdiction of the Beiping Military Branch. They conduct exercises and are on their own territory. There is no need to tell us at all. As for the Forty-first Army, Sun Kuiyuan, who is a rebellious person, do you think he will buy me He Jingzhi's account?" He Jingzhi said.

"What minister, how should we respond?"

"What to respond to? Exercise, the troops conduct exercises, it's a normal thing. Could it be that I'm going to order them not to do it?"

"Minister, at this time they suddenly conducted exercises, obviously for the Japanese!" Secretary Xiong said.

"Yes, the Japanese drove all the warships to our house, and the British didn't even make a fart. What can we do?" He Jingzhi was angry and a little helpless.

"Dongdong..."

"Come in!" He Jingzhi opened his tired eyes and ordered.

"Minister, I'll go out first!" The door was pushed open, and Li Genius, who was wearing a major general's uniform, walked in quickly. Secretary Xiong said quickly.

"Go!" He Jingzhi responded.

"Genius, what's the matter?" He Jingzhi asked seriously.

"The telegram from Dong Kang to me, let me take the initiative to act as the chairman!" Li Tiancai took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it over.

"I respect my brother. I have been separated for three months. I am very worried about it. How can I have good health? Can I eat three bowls of food for one meal..."
