Nanjing Huangpu Road, Rest House.

Qilu is Chairman Jiang’s official residence. Chairman Jiang’s other two official residences in Nanjing, Tangshan Villa and Meiling Palace, are more for vacation and leisure.

After taking a walk every morning, Chairman Jiang would rest on the terrace on the second floor of the official residence for a while, look at the scenery, listen to the sound of the horns of the students of the Central Military Academy during training, and then he would be in a good mood and full of energy all day!

However, after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, all the students of the Central Military Academy had graduated early and rushed to the front line, so the entire campus suddenly became silent.

Chairman Jiang stood on the terrace on the second floor, and the scenery was still the same, but he always felt that something was missing.

After a while, Chairman Jiang said to Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant's office standing behind him: "Mu Yin, turn on the radio."

Qian Dajun agreed, immediately stepped forward and turned on the radio on the coffee table, and switched to the Central News Agency.

Because Qian Dajun knew very well that Shanghai Mayor Yu Hongjun was going to deliver a radio speech this morning, and Chairman Jiang was going to listen to Yu Hongjun's speech.

As soon as the radio was turned on, Yu Hongjun's low voice came from inside: "Soldiers from all over the world, Wen Yi was in trouble, and their lives arrived every day. They built a trench with flesh and blood on the front line, and they had to die without retreat! The position turned into ashes, and the morale of the army was still as solid as iron and stone. The courage to trap the battle and the fierceness of death were enough to show the spirit of national independence! Lay the foundation for the rejuvenation of China!"

Before he finished speaking, Chairman Jiang sighed and said, "Mu Yin, let's just shut it down."

"Yes!" Qian Dajun agreed and turned off the radio. Yu Hongjun's voice was immediately unable to hear it.

Qian Dajun could probably guess Chairman Jiang’s mood at this moment. No matter how good Yu Hongjun spoke, he could not change the fact that Shanghai had fallen! This largest and most prosperous international metropolis in the Far East will no longer belong to China from this day, and I don’t know when and when will it return to China’s embrace?

Perhaps, it will never be possible to return.

Of course, what Chairman Jiang cares most is that after the fall of Shanghai, the National Government will lose 40% of its tax revenue. The already stretched financial situation is probably even worse!

However, at this moment, the chief guard Wang Shihe suddenly came up.

"Commission, good news!" Wang Shihe couldn't hide the joy between his eyebrows and said, "Dai Li, director of the Operations Department of the Revival Society, called and said that the 367th Regiment had killed the division headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division in one fell swoop last night and killed more than 200 people from the division commander of the Sixth Division!"

"Is that true?" Chairman Jiang suddenly turned around, "Shoot a lieutenant general?"

"Yes!" Wang Shihe said with a head-on focus, "Shoot a lieutenant general, plus seven assistants!"

"My mom, you're doing a pretty job!" Chairman Jiang hit the climax hard and said to Qian Dajun again, "Mu Yin, please call the Central News Agency and ask Yu Hongjun to add this good news! This proves that my Chinese martial spirit is still there. No matter how cruel the foreign enemy is, my dignified China will not surrender easily!"

"Yes!" Qian Dajun turned around and hurried away.

Watching Qian Dajun's figure leave, Chairman Jiang finally showed a smile on his face and said softly: "This Zhong Yi is really unrestless, and he will create some noise from time to time."

Wang Shihe said: "However, the noise he made is a bit big."

"Not." Chairman Jiang said, "Firstly, he destroyed a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army, and then took down a division headquarters of the Japanese army, killing a Japanese lieutenant general. This is really a big deal!"

Wang Shihe said: "But in this way, Zhong Yi will be in danger."

After pausing, Wang Shihe whispered again: "Committee, should you send troops to respond?"

Chairman Jiang hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Forget it, forget it."

It’s not that Chairman Jiang didn’t want to, but that he really couldn’t find the troops to pick up the 367th Regiment now.

...

Almost at the same time, the Japanese army also officially held a press conference at the Shanghai Marine Corps Command.

Originally, the Japanese army did not dare to blatantly publicize the Sino-Japanese War, and it was even more unimaginable to hold a press conference, because the Japanese side has always been concerned about the reactions of Western powers and was worried that the West would interfere.

But the just-concluded Nine-Nation Conference gave Japan confidence.

Because the Nine-Country Convention only symbolically exhorted Japan at the meeting in Brussels.

Now, the Japanese government has completely figured out the bottom line of Western countries - it will not interfere with the Chinese incident!

Therefore, as soon as the Battle of Shanghai ended, the Japanese side could not wait to hold a press conference with the goal of announcing a fact to the West: from today on, the Chinese community in Shanghai will be controlled by Japan!

This press conference invited reporters from all Western countries in Shanghai.

In addition, the Japanese army's lineup attending the press conference was unprecedented.

In addition to Japanese Consul General Okamotoshi Kazumasa, military officer Honda Suichi, who was stationed in China, even invited Shanghai Condemnation Army Commander Matsui Ishione and the commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Shin.

Fujita Min first showed a photo to the Western reporter present.

The photo was taken from the Shanghai Municipal Government in Longhua, but the originally magnificent city government building has now turned into ruins, and a group of Japanese soldiers with live ammunition were standing on the ruins and raising their hands to cheer.

Fujita Jin pointed to the photo and said proudly: "Here, I will first inform you of good news. Before yesterday evening, the Imperial Army had already captured the municipal government in Shanghai. In other words, the Imperial Army had completely expelled the Chinese government army from Shanghai and had completely won the victory of the Battle of Shanghai!"

Okamoto was immediately following: "I want to tell you a good news. In no time, the Chinese government will announce its surrender, and Shanghai and the entire Far East will soon be restored to its original order! In addition, I can also assure everyone that the Great Japanese Empire will do its best to safeguard the interests of all countries in China."

At this time, a reporter asked: "Sir Consul General, are you really sure that the Chinese government will announce its surrender soon?"

"Yes, I'm very sure." Okamotoshi, "Before the Battle of Songhu, I said that the Chinese government will announce its surrender within three months. This is not nonsense, but evidenced!"

Another reporter retorted: "But as far as I know, the Chinese jun team does not seem to have lost their will to resist."
