"Old Lu, the Japanese are jumping up and down. I think the possibility of peace talks agreed to by Nanjing is relatively high!" Ying Ruoyu said.

"This is indeed not a big suspense. Now that Mr. Jiang has encircled and suppressed the Red Army, the Japanese have actively proposed peace talks, and he is still eager!" Lu Shan said, "The question is what conditions can he accept, and what conditions will the Japanese give?"

"The Japanese take the initiative to negotiate, they will definitely make concessions, right?"

"This is not necessarily the case. Why is the Japanese trying hard to create momentum? It is to create an identity of peace envoy internationally. Once we accept peace talks and they put forward harsh conditions, we will definitely not agree. At that time, the Japanese will put the hat of no peace and sincerity on us!" Lu Shan said.

"How is this possible? Are those people fools?"

"Followers, they are not fools. Japan and China, who are stronger and weak, and who should they support?" Lu Shan smiled, "They are all birds of a feather. Since the Opium War, how many people have spoken for China internationally?"

Ying Ruoyu was silent for a moment.

"In the eyes of Westerners, justice is based on fists!" Lu Shan said, "If your fists are not hard enough, don't imagine that others will give you fair treatment. This is their law!"

"Are we all wrong to learn from the West for so many years?"

"We learn from Western technology and their enterprising spirit, but we don't say we have to accept their culture in full. We have our own culture, but we just deviate from the direction!" Lu Shan said, "Once we correct the direction, we will also be on an equal footing with the West. It is not impossible to surpass them even."

“Beyond them?”

"Of course. Old Ying, the West has been surpassing us for only two or three hundred years, but before that, we have been ahead of them for thousands of years. Do you still understand the truth?"

"Okay, I can't tell you!" Ying Ruoyu said.

"That's because everything I'm talking about is the truth!" Lu Shan smiled.

"Okay, stop showing off. I'll tell me what kind of solution to help you with a major disease?" Ying Ruoyu asked with concern.

"Yes. In addition to free treatment for disabilities on the battlefield, our officers and soldiers usually don't spend a lot of money on a minor problem, but once they get serious illness, it's not something they can afford. At this stage, all free medical treatment is definitely not possible, and we can't afford it. So I plan to establish such a relief medical system to help them overcome difficulties and not to do so as in the past. Soldiers are seriously ill, so they give some money and then clear the matter. This is irresponsible to them and a huge harm to the team!" Lu Shan explained.

"Old Lu, you think of everything before. Although this method is introduced, although there are not many people who will benefit, it is a great enhancement of the morale of the army and the army. It is a good way!" Ying Ruoyu said with a thumbs up.

"Although we have added more expenses, this expense is spent on the blade and can save the lives of many officers and soldiers. If we give them hope, our team will become more and more united!" Lu Shan said.

"Didn't Mr. Jiang just gave us some money? You can make a portion of it from it and set up a special rescue fund. What do you think?" Ying Ruoyu said.

"Well, that's good. Not only do you need to set up a fund, but you can also accept social donations. The combination of the two aspects will bring greater strength to this end!" Lu Shan said.

"Okay, I'll let the people below discuss it and see how this charter is formulated?"

"No need, I'll ask Feng Yun to get a first draft first, and then focus on his thoughts, which will save a lot of time and manpower!" Lu Shan said.

"It's good, it's decided!" Ying Ruoyu said.

"Mr. Lu, please sign this document?" A staff officer walked in and handed Lu Shan a document.

"What?"

"The commander Wang of the 183rd Division applied to keep the equipment of the artillery battalion of the 1st Brigade, and asked the artillery battalion to help train a group of artillery. This is their application!"

"Wang Rong, he has a big appetite. When he captured Taonan, he had seized two artillery brigades under Zhang Haipeng, which was enough for him to equip two artillery battalions. Why, it wasn't enough? He still wanted to organize an artillery regiment?" Ying Ruoyu said.

"The two artillery teams were captured, but the Zhengjiatun defense battle was not used, but the 183rd Division really needs to increase its firepower!"

"Old Lu, are you really going to give it to him?" Ying Ruoyu said in surprise, "Is that a battalion of artillery?"

"This is a legitimate request. If I don't want to give it to me, I have to find a reason?" Lu Shan said with a smile.

"What should I do with the artillery battalion of the 1st Brigade? I can't let them go back to be infantry, right?" Ying Ruoyu said.

"How is that possible? I plan to change the cannons for the 1st brigade of the 1st brigade!" Lu Shan said.

"Change the cannon?" Ying Ruoyu said in surprise.

"Yes, I plan to buy a batch of large-caliber howitzers from Germany and form a howitzer regiment!" Lu Shan said.

"Lao Lu, do you really dare to think about buying cannons from Germany?" Ying Ruoyu was stunned and then smiled bitterly.

"Why don't you dare to think? Nanjing has a good relationship with Germany. We also have a certain relationship in Germany. Germans may not dare to sell large caliber howitzers for us in violation of regulations. But you can buy parts, right?" Lu Shan said with a smile.

"Do you want to buy parts and then go back to China to assemble?"

"As right, we have a skilled armed production team. After we buy it, we can imitate it and make it ourselves later!" Lu Shan said, "This way you don't have to look at others' faces!"

"Well, this is a way. It's better to make it yourself than to buy someone else's. I support this!" Ying Ruoyu was said to be hot. Having his own large-caliber artillery is what every Chinese soldier longs for the most in his heart.

"What I am worried about now is Mr. Jiang. He likes red-eyed children the most. When he sees good things that he doesn't have, we get them and intercept them for us, and that will be troublesome!" Lu Shan said.

"What can we do? What's the matter if we spend money to buy something, what's going on?" Ying Ruoyu was anxious when he heard this.

"In name, they are our boss. We can't ignore them at all. Besides, when buying things, they have to pass through their territory. The geese pass by, and even though Mr. Jiang is rich and powerful, he doesn't care about anything he doesn't have?"

"That's true. If this is not solved well, good things will not be our hands!" Ying Ruoyu nodded.

"Why should we do this business with Mr. Jiang?"

"Well, you can try it, don't worry. If you are anxious, you can't eat hot tofu!" Lu Shan nodded.

Lu Shan waved his hand and signed the two words "Agree" on the application form.

Wang Rong probably didn't expect that it would be so easy to keep the equipment of the Artillery Battalion of the 1st Brigade. If he knew Lu Shan's thoughts, he would probably regret it to death. It would be like picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons.

Zhang Yihu was even more worried, fearing that the agreement he had reached and Wang Rong had been secretly exposed, it would be more than just feeding the horse and was probably going to be exiled.

"Mr. Lu, Haidongqing urgently powered!"

"Let's take a look." Lu Shan took the message and browsed it, "This is a bit interesting. Hirota Hirota ran to Shanghai, and the Japanese really put a lot of effort into the peace talks!"

"I guess I hope to convince Nanjing and then put pressure on us to negotiate with the Kwantung Army?" Ying Ruoyu said.

"This is only one aspect, and on the other hand, the Japanese may have other intentions. Things that they cannot get on the battlefield can be obtained through negotiation!" Lu Shan said, "Although we have won some victories, for Japan, it has not yet reached the point of being hurt. If we really fight, we may not be able to win forever!"

"I agree with this point. Japan does not want to fight. It is probably because it is under pressure from both domestic and international levels. We have reached the limit and need to rest and recover urgently. Therefore, negotiations are inevitable. Whether an agreement can be reached is another matter!" Ying Ruoyu said.

"The more you are at this time, the more you need to stabilize it. You cannot give the Japanese army an opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, we must be more vigilant to prevent the Japanese army from attacking!" Lu Shan said.

"Yeah, I agree!"

"Report, telegram from Nanjing Military Commission!"

"read!"

"All officers and soldiers of the 183rd Division and the 1st East Anti-Church Brigade who participated in the Zhengjiatun Defense Battle will be promoted to the first level. The commander of the 183rd Division, Wang Rong, chief of staff, Li Yuan, brigade commander of the 1st Brigade, Zhang Yihu, awarded a medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun, Lin Nan, deputy commander of the 1st Brigade, Guan Xiangyin...

This order was issued by the Military Committee of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek, November 24, 21st year of the Republic of China.

"Wang Rong and Zhang Yihu both have the ranks of colonels, now they have become major generals?" Ying Ruoyu said.

"This is worth it. If you don't get promoted, Mr. Jiang will be criticized. However, this military rank is of little significance to us. The medal has some real benefits, and everything else is just a cloud of clouds!" Lu Shan said with a smile.

"This is a cheap one and a good person!"

"Mr. Lu, this is also your private telegram!"

"Private Telegram?" Lu Shan was a little surprised, "Whose?"

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Oh, this is a strange thing. Mr. Jiang remembered to send me a private telegram?" Lu Shan was a little surprised.

"Look at what content?" Ying Ruoyu said.

"Haide my brother: Although my brother is not a match, my brother's achievements make me feel very pleased. I fight against the Japanese invaders in the Northeast and fight bloodyly. I am a model for revolutionary soldiers..." After the telegram, a strong Jiang style came to me. His words were earnest and the words were not expressed in words. The feelings were sincere, as if a brother was standing in front of him, his earnest teachings and deep concern made people feel very comfortable to read!

Chiang Kai-shek does have extremely strong abilities in controlling people's hearts and buying people's hearts. There are many arrogant soldiers and powerful generals in the GMD, but why they all obey Chiang's leadership? This also shows that Chiang Kai-shek still has a certain charm in personality!

With less than three hundred words of telegram, Jiang Jiang spent almost half of the time praising Lu Shan and Dong Kang's achievements. If ordinary people read this, they would feel a little fluttering after reading it.

Lu Shan has long been immune to this. This is Lao Jiang’s sugar-coated shell, so he cannot be confused by appearances.

"What did Lao Jiang say?"

"Put the overall situation first. I hope we can repair relations with the Northeast Army and work together to fight against the Kwantung Army!" Lu Shan said.

"What does it mean?" Ying Ruoyu said indifferently.

"I can't guess thoroughly, but I guessed about two points. First, he hopes that we will compromise and not make any trouble when discussing with the Japanese. Second, on the surface, we hope that we will live in harmony with the Northeast Army and work together to fight the enemy, but the actual meaning is probably the opposite. He hopes that we will maintain superficial cooperation and confrontation in our bones, which is the most beneficial to him!" Lu Shan said.

"This old Jiang is really hiding a needle in the cotton!" Ying Ruoyu exclaimed.

"There is no simple politician. It depends on everyone's ability to comprehend!" Lu Shan said, "There is no problem with this telegram. He will not put the handle into anyone's hands!"

"Yes, it's too tiring to deal with this type of person!"

"The conflicts with the Northeast Army are mainly concentrated at two points. First, we annexed one of their brigade troops, which made the generals of the Northeast Army hostile and misunderstand us. They were afraid that they would become the second 22nd Brigade. Also, we captured Tang Yulin, and the wealth that Tang Yulin has accumulated over the years has also been gained by me. This greatly increased our strength, and the Northeast Army naturally believed that this wealth belonged to them. If the Northeast Army obtained this wealth, they could get rid of the current predicament and then strengthen themselves, and would not be restrained by Nanjing as they are now!" Lu Shan explained.

"We will not hand over whether it is the 22nd Brigade, Tang Yulin and the people's money he plundered. Therefore, the relationship between the Northeast Army and us will only be worse and will not get better. This can be regarded as a dead end!" Lu Shan said.

"Can the Northeast Army people not ignore this interest?"

"Enterprise is the driving force of desire. The Northeast Army is getting weaker and weaker, and we are getting stronger and stronger. This gap and sense of loss will make the conflict between our two armies deeper and deeper. This is not an easy thing to solve!" Lu Shan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"How do you plan to go back to Mr. Jiang?"

"We can only revise our relationship with the Northeast Army slowly by time. We are friendly forces, not enemies, so there is no need to worry for the time being. We will not do things that are happy with relatives and enemies, and they will not do them. This is the bottom line. Whoever moves this bottom line will become the target of public criticism!" Lu Shan said, "Just discussing issues, I think it is better to take the initiative!"

"What is taking preemptively?" Ying Ruoyu asked.

"The Japanese want to negotiate with us, so we simply show the conditions for the negotiation before the Japanese propose it!" Lu Shan said.

"Let's show the conditions first?" Ying Ruoyu said in surprise, "Isn't this..."

"Yes, this may be under great pressure, which is unimaginable. But if we show the conditions first, then the Japanese want to use public opinion and the conspiracy of pressure on China by the international community, will go bankrupt. We can turn passive into initiative. Now whoever raises the conditions first will take the initiative!"

"I understand what you mean. Don't the Japanese want to negotiate? We have raised the conditions. You can decide whether to discuss it or not. This will depend on your pressure on the Japanese?" Ying Ruoyu understood.

But somehow, no matter what kind of peace negotiation conditions the Chinese side has issued, it will not satisfy or agree with. It will even be regarded as traitorism. Active traitorism will make the people even more dissatisfied, which will double its own pressure. Especially now that the domestic anti-Japanese sentiment is rising, it is easy to imagine how big the impact it will have!

They would not understand that doing so is winning the initiative in diplomacy. They only recognize one thing: selling the country is selling the country. There is a huge reason, and there is no important thing about selling the country!

The Japanese set up this game is so perfect. No matter what kind of reaction GMZF reacts, he is a loser!

"Is it possible to propose a peace treaty that does not harm sovereignty or treason the country?"

"Impossible, something that is beyond reality has no basis for peace talks. At that time, the international community will think that we are the ones who lack sincerity, and it is impossible to please both sides!" Lu Shan said.

"Yeah, it's hard!"

"However, we can do some work. Didn't Hirota Hiroshi hide in secret and control it? We simply rushed to the front!" A trace of sharp light flashed in Lu Shan's eyes.

"What you mean is that we will take the lead to give Nanjing a chance to buffer?" Ying Ruoyu said.
