"Brig Commander He, do you understand why Mr. Lu transferred you back tightly?" Ying Ruoyu said, "The fewer people please know about this, the better. Even you, Sergeant Ries, don't know. *Literature Museum*"

"Don't Riestron know?"

"We will vent to him in the future. For safety reasons, we did not tell him in the telegram. This was not intentional concealment, and it would be more convenient to call you over and tell you directly!" Lu Shan said, "I just didn't expect you to be so in a big mood!"

"Mr. Lu, I was wrong!" He Shili lowered his head in shame and admitted his mistake.

"We have some things that we don't consider properly. You are also devoted to the training of the troops. You can't blame you!"

"Prepare it. I told Feng Yun to buy some small gifts for Ling Zun and his family. You can take them back together. It is a little bit of your son, husband and father!" Lu Shan said.

"Mr. Lu needs you to set off right away, so you will definitely not have time to buy gifts." Ying Ruoyu explained.

He Shili was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and even thought of the gifts he brought to his family when he got home.

"Let me go back and let Feng Yun give you the things, leave early tomorrow morning, take the train to Tongliao, and then go to Chifeng to Zhangjiakou. You can decide how to get down there!" Lu Shan said.

"Yes, Mr. Lu!"

"By the way, this is my handwritten letter to Ling Zun. You can take it back." Lu Shan walked over, opened the drawer, and pulled out an envelope from it, with six big words "Sir He Dong's personal opening" written on it.

The envelope was not sealed. He believed in He Shili's character and would not peek at the letter.

"Mr. Lu, I will definitely hand it over to my father with my own hands!" He Shili said solemnly.

"This time you go back, you are in the name of visiting relatives, but the time cannot be long. I can only give you two months. Can you do it?" Lu Shan asked.

"Two months are enough!" He Shili thought for a moment. If everything goes well, it would take a month to go back and forth, and then stay at home for a month.

"Okay, I'll let the monk take you down to rest. Where is the train ticket in Feng Yun? He will deliver it to you later!" Lu Shan said.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. I'll leave first!" He Shili saluted excitedly and left!

"Will he come back?" Looking at He Shili's back, Ying Ruoyu asked in a low voice.

"I'm not worried, he will definitely come back!" Lu Shan replied with great certainty.

"This move is very risky!" Ying Ruoyu said, "Even if he is willing to come back, once Nanjing knows, he will definitely not let it go."

"He Shili's father has British nationality. Although He Shili insists that he is not British nationality, they are father and son after all. Do you think the national government dares to use those tricks?" Lu Shan said with a smile.

"That's true!" Ying Ruoyu smiled mockingly.

"Old fox reports that Doihara is very active in North China. Almost every day some of our people meet and have dinner, playing the card of goodwill and friendship. Some people from the Beiyang political circles were convinced by him and acted as lobbyists between the National Government and the Japanese!" Lu Shan said.

"These people are simply shameless!"

"Haha, only when the country is in trouble can we see a person's positive appearance clearly. It would be better if these people were exposed, which would make us more vigilant!" Lu Shan said.

"It's already April, why is there no movement on Zhang Hanqing's side?"

"It is not an easy task to enter Tianjin. Even if Zhang Hanqing wants to do this, he will convince the generals below. Nanjing seems to be willing to let go. Chiang Kai-shek's attitude is very important. When Chiang Kai-shek sends a secret telegram to He Jing, he wants to hear his opinions!" Lu Shan said.

"What is He Jingzhi's attitude?"

"He Jingzhi is a meticulous person. He figured out what Chiang Kai-shek meant that he might agree to hand over Tianjin to us, but there must be conditions!" Lu Shan said.

"Limit the number of people entering the pass?" Ying Ruoyu said.

"This is probably just one of them. How could Chiang Kai-shek let us completely control Tianjin?" Lu Shan said, "I think it will definitely set obstacles for us. Zhang Hanqing is not stupid either. He will definitely arrange some of his people in key positions before withdrawing from Tianjin, and these people are not noticed by us!"

"It seems that politics is not something that ordinary people can afford!" Ying Ruoyu sighed.

"This is all forced. I would rather live a peaceful life, but if someone doesn't let me, what can I do? I can only do it with them!" Lu Shan said.

"Then wait a little longer, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

"This is right, this is really a matter of rush!" Lu Shan nodded, "The reorganization of the army is almost over, and the work of awarding ranks can begin. In principle, the award of colonel-level officers will be awarded by the headquarters or theater command in person, and the lieutenant officers will be awarded after assessment by the first-level organ of the division and brigade of the troops. General-level officers must be reported to Nanjing and awarded after assessment by the Military Commission!"

"Are we holding a rank award ceremony in the army?"

"This ceremony is to be done. This is something that can increase the collective sense of honor of the troops. You can formulate a charter. It should not be too complicated. It is both simple and solemn, and it will not increase the additional expenditure and burden of the troops!" Lu Shan said.

"good!"

"The general-level rank awarding ceremony will not be carried out in a unified manner, everything will be simple." Lu Shan thought for a while and said.

"Brave Commander He, this is the gift that President Lu asked me to give you. They are all in this box. Look at who should I give those gifts? And this is the train ticket tomorrow morning. The Security Department will send a car to you at the fifth train station!"

"Thank you Secretary Feng, and you have to send it here in person!"

"You're welcome, this is all Mr. Lu's order!" Feng Yun hurriedly explained, "And Mr. Lu's special order, if you go to Shanghai, go see General Zhang Hanqing and say hello to General Zhang Hanqing for him."

"Okay, Secretary Feng, I will definitely bring Mr. Lu's words!" He Shili nodded. Even without Lu Shan's instructions, he would go and see Zhang Hanqing. After all, Zhang Hanqing still had the kindness of knowing him and his old commander. Although others are no longer in the Northeast Army, Zhang Hanqing is still very good to him. People must not forget their roots!

"It's nothing, I won't disturb Brigade Commander He's rest!" Feng Yun retreated from the room.

Sending Feng Yun away. He Shili was filled with mixed feelings. When he opened the box, there were a box full of things, including ginseng, fox fur, tiger leather shoes and hats (given for children)...

These are all unique products in the Northeast, and they are also very valuable, so this gift is a bit expensive.

Of course, He Shili also prepared two sets of changing clothes in the box. One set of casual clothes, the other set of military uniforms, and the major general’s military uniforms!

The next morning, He Shili embarked on the way home with gifts full of boxes, and Lu Shan sent Feng Yun to the train station to see him off.

"Nanjing, April 5. The National Zfzy Political Conference decided that Kong Xiangxi would serve as the president of the Central Bank and announced that from April 6, the whole country would be reformed into two Yuan!"

"On the sixth day, Chairman Jiang flew to Nanchang to deploy the fifth bandit suppression operation, and on the seventh day, he arrived in Fuzhou. He held a high-level meeting of the generals of the Central Army to talk about the latest research on bandit suppression tactics..."

...

"On the tenth day, Chairman Jiang gave a public speech in Nanchang to commemorate Zhou. He said that he would first stabilize the country when he said that he would fight against foreign countries. Before the bandits were suppressed, they should never speak of resisting Japan. Violators would be punished severely. Public opinion was in a turmoil..."

"A large number of Japanese fleets arrived in Shanghai, Hankou..."

"It seems that Nanjing has been threatened by the Japanese fleet. In the Pacific Ocean, the only one that can compete with the Japanese fleet is the US Pacific Fleet. But the US fleet will never go to war with the Japanese!"

"We have ignored the Japanese sea power, and it is obvious that Japan now forces us to retreat with its powerful navy!"

"Yes, our navy had already lost all the losses in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. Today's national navy said it was three major fleets, but in fact it could only patrol offshore. If the Japanese army attacked a large amount from the sea, then our fragile coastal defense was vulnerable!"

"The Japanese Navy's target opponent is not us, but the American Pacific Fleet. Moreover, the army and the navy have always been in disagreement. This time the army suffered a loss, and the navy actually came to help. This is very rare!"

"Although the Japanese Army and Navy are not in harmony, the idea of ​​external expansion is consistent. Moreover, the current Japanese Prime Minister Saito was originally a navy general. It is not surprising that he would like to support the Navy!"

"It seems that the government cannot withstand the pressure and is going to negotiate with the Japanese!"

"Well, Chairman Jiang's policy is very clear, and it is only a matter of time to negotiate with the Japanese." Lu Shan made a judgment at the military information briefing.

"Director Yan from the Eastern Anti-Peking Office called the Japanese Embassy in Peking, and the Japanese Embassy in Peking, met with British Ambassador Lan Pusheng, asking him to mediate the Sino-Japanese negotiations, and also mentioned the idea of ​​establishing a direct dialogue with us!"

"Oh, the Japanese want us to have a direct conversation?"

"This is a conspiracy. If we agree to talk directly with the Japanese, it means we do not respect the government at all. This is to induce conflicts with the government and thus provoke our relationship with zy!" Qin Shiyu said decisively.

"Yes, Lao Qin is right!" Lu Shan added, "We can't be fooled, let alone we can't reach an agreement with the Japanese. There is no need to step in and strictly order Yan Baohang not to express his opinion on any negotiations between China and Japan. Even if Dong Kang wants to negotiate with the Japanese, he will only have to be under the authorization of the Japanese, and will not negotiate with the Japanese alone!"

"Old Lu is right. Now we can't let the Japanese have the opportunity to take advantage of it!" Ying Ruoyu said.

"What should we do if the people reached an armistice agreement with the government that day?" Liu Yushu asked.

"We neither admit nor deny it, two words: silence!"

"Yes, we are silent. First, it means that we are unwilling to fight against the government and destroy the government. Second, we are silent. There is also a second meaning, that is, we may not be satisfied with the armistice agreement reached." Qin Shiyu explained.
