The two places of Ping and Tianjin were lost, and the railway and surrounding areas could not be defended. Zhang Zizhong, who was in Peking after the accident, immediately ordered the generals of the 29th Army to retreat.

It is easier to retreat the peripheral troops of Peking, but it is not so easy for the 29th Army troops in the city of Peking, which is surrounded by the Japanese army. According to the requirements of the Japanese army, the two troops of the 27th Independent Brigade of the 132nd Division, the 38th Independent Brigade of the 39th Independent Brigade and some other scattered armed forces must be disarmed.

However, Liu Ruzhen's troops of the 679th Regiment of the 27th Independent Brigade of the 132nd Division firmly disagreed with the Japanese army! The regiment had originally had a fire with the Japanese army during the Guang'anmen incident, but because the division commander Zhao Dengyu had just died shortly, it was the time when the officers and soldiers hated the Japanese army. Under the leadership of Liu Ruzhen, the officers and soldiers of the regiment were never willing to put down their weapons and let the Japanese army slaughter! Under the influence of the 679th Regiment, Shi Zhengang, the commander of the 27th Independent Brigade, also resisted the order from above to ask the brigade to be disarmed. Under the leadership of Shi and Liu, the 27th Independent Brigade broke through on August 1 and left Peiping.

Although the 27th Independent Brigade highlighted the Japanese encirclement, it also paid a heavy price under the pursuit of enemy aircraft, armored vehicles, etc. After experiencing this incident, the brigade commander Shi Zhengang found that the 29th Army, which was originally famous for its anti-Japanese war, had all kinds of disastrousness, and felt slim in the future against Japan. After breaking through, he left the troops. Liu Ruzhen led the surviving personnel several times to Chahar to meet with his brother Liu Ruming's 143rd Division.

The 27th Independent Brigade broke through, but the Ruan Xuanwu unit of the Independent Brigade of the 39th Independent Brigade belonging to the 38th Division in Peking City disarmed the Japanese army! Some people later debated about whom the order of disarming the brigade was given by him. Some said it was Zhang Zizhong's order, and some said it was Ruan Xuanwu's order, but no matter what, Zhang Zizhong could not refuse to blame!

As the supreme leader of the 29th Army in Beiping, during his time, the incident of the soldiers of the 29th Army disarming the Japanese army during his responsibility, and Zhang Zizhong's responsibility cannot be avoided! As the commander of the 38th Division, his subordinate Independent 39th Brigade disarming the Japanese army, and Zhang Zizhong's responsibility cannot be rejected! Moreover, Zhang Zizhong, like Song Zheyuan, still had fantasies about the Japanese army, and did not have the awareness of fighting against Japan later. In terms of disarming, he should undoubtedly bear the main responsibility!

As early as March 1937, Zhang Zizhong led a delegation to visit Japan as a member of the Hebei-Chahar Government Affairs Committee and the mayor of Tianjin. Zhang Zizhong and his party stayed in Japan for more than 20 people for more than a month, and during this period he was received by the Japanese emperor and celebrated the emperor's birthday. The Japanese reception specifications for Zhang Zizhong and others exceeded the specifications for receiving Zhang Qun, the Foreign Minister of Nanjing Government, a month ago.

In any case, Zhang Zizhong spent a huge amount of money to celebrate Hirohito's birthday as a mayor under the Chinese government and accepted high-standard courtesy, which was a matter of losing his national character and even more of a violation of the regulations of the Nanjing authorities! After the news reached the country, it was rumored that Zhang Zizhong signed a secret agreement with the Japanese and received a huge sum of money and Eastern beauties from Japan. The Wuhan Daily in Hankou reported the news as news.

Although the so-called secret agreement during his visit to Japan was purely a rumor, in July, Zhang Zizhong really signed a secret agreement with the Japanese.

On July 19, after Song Zheyuan left Tianjin for Peking, Zhang Zizhong and Zhang Yunrong found the Tianjin Japanese Governor Army Command to visit Hashimoto, and signed the implementation clause that was still to be resolved at 23:00 that night. This agreement is the historical "Kanyue Details", and its main content involves anti-communist, suppressing anti-Japanese words and deeds, and exempting government personnel with anti-Japanese tendencies.

The relevant clauses in "The Fragrance Moon" are obviously inconsistent with Song Zheyuan's previous attitude, and the agreement was obtained from Japan's surrender in history. At that time, Song Zheyuan and Zhang Zizhong had already passed away, especially Zhang Zizhong died in battle and was commended by the Nanjing authorities, so the relevant parties did not pursue the matter any more.

Of course, the disclosure of "Fragrant Moon Review" and Zhang Zizhong's negotiations with the Japanese army before and after the July and 7 Incident also had a lot of impact on his historical evaluation. The most obvious thing is that 49 years later, Mao signed a martyr's certificate for Zhao Dengyu, and then the descendants of Tong Lingge also obtained a martyr's certificate issued by the domestic government. However, during the 27 years of Zhou Enlai's rule, he never approved the martyr's certificate for Zhang Zizhong. It was not until 82 that the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued a martyr's certificate in the indiscriminate "rehabilitation" tide at that time. The reason is self-evident.

Although "The Details of Xiangyue" were not disclosed at this time, it is an indisputable fact that Zhang Zizhong contacted Matsui Tokuro in Peking in Peking. In addition to the aftermath of his previous visit to Japan, reports such as "Self-thinking as a loyal", "After Zhang Bangchang", "After Zhang Zizhong's visit to Matsui, the gates of Peking opened" appeared in newspapers in various places. He also called it "Zhang Nizizhong" and treated him the same as Wang Zhaoming!

Although he believed that his actions were for the overall interests of the 29th Army, Zhang Zizhong was still ashamed of the "traitor" hat that people from all walks of life put on him. In early August, when Zhang Zizhong realized that there was no possibility of compromise with the Japanese army, he managed to escape from Peking and go to Nanjing to apologize.

When passing Shandong, Zhang Zizhong went to meet Han Fuju, who was also from the Northwest Army. Unexpectedly, Han Fuju asked Zhang Zizhong and others to be in the reception room of the compartment, and he yelled to the adjutant next door: "Zhang Zizhong? No see! He, Zhang Zizhong, go to be his traitor, I, Old Han, go to fight against me, everyone does their own things, what does he do when he sees me?"

Apart from a wall, Han Fuju deliberately opened his voice again, and Zhang Zizhong naturally listened to Han's words. In shame and anger, Zhang Zizhong turned his head and left! But on the way out, Zhang Zizhong met several former subordinates of the former Northwest Army who were currently listening to Han Fuju. These people were originally quite respectful to Zhang Zizhong, but now they were sarcastic after meeting. Some of them asked, "Sir Zhang, you used to educate us all day long, how can you be so embarrassed to do such things now? Where have you read your sage books?"

Zhang Zizhong's heart was stinging with contempt and heart-killing words, but he was speechless. Now he would attract more sarcasm when he left Shandong Provincial Government, Zhang Zizhong sighed to the sky and regretted it! When he arrived in Nanjing, Zhang Zizhong was dismissed from office and investigated by Chiang Kai-shek and placed under house arrest for about half a year.

Zhang Zizhong knew his shame and bravely, that's a story later. Looking back at Pingjin.

After the 27th Independent Brigade broke through on August 1, the situation in the Pingjin area became even more severe. In the Pingjin area, the 29th Army units, except for a small scattered troops and the 38th Division Ruan Xuanwu Brigade, which was disarmed in the city, most of the other units have retreated to Zhuozhou, Hebei, and the Jinghai line. The Pingjin area has fallen!

Although the grassroots officers and soldiers of the 29th Army were willing to stain the battlefield with blood, fighting bravely and paying the price of more than 10,000 casualties, the strength of our enemies was already very different. The top leaders of the 29th Army headed by Song Zheyuan fantasized about engaging in Japan, which eventually led to the situation where the Japanese army controlled Pingjin in just a few days. Even after the Japanese army cleared the periphery of Peking on the 27th, the 29th Army only lasted for 6 days!

Faced with such a result, Song Zheyuan had to express his responsibility for the situation of war. He first called Lao Chiang on the 30th and asked for punishment, saying that he "had a headache and should take a rest in an emergency", and wanted to hand over the position of commander of the 29th Army as Feng Zhian. Later, he issued a telegram nationwide on August 3, declaring his resignation as commander of the 29th Army and appointed Feng Zhian as commander of the 29th Army.

But in fact, Song Zheyuan still did not give up the dream of establishing an independent kingdom in Ji and the Cha area. He still intervened in various subordinate departments of the 29th Army and even instructed Liu Ruming to master the territory of Chahar. Song Zheyuan's instructions and Liu Ruming's own unique consciousness of Chahar's territory brought extremely serious negative impacts to the subsequent Nankou battle and Pingsui Line battle!

As for the development of the situation in the Pingjin area, except for the northwest, the Nanjing authorities and all walks of life in China were unexpected. No one would have thought that the 29th Army, which had relied on a big blade, dared to fight with the Japanese army and created the great victory in Xifengkou, would not fight after having territory and strong troops! It was lost to Pingjin in less than a week!

The result of this battle also cast a heavy shadow on the prospects of the Sino-Japanese War. Now the strong 29th Army was defeated by the Japanese army. Could it be that the Japanese army is even more powerful? In some troops under the rule of the Nanjing authorities, especially in those local miscellaneous units, the emotions of fear of fighting, fear of war, and even surrender inevitably began to breed.

In fact, it was not that the Japanese army had stronger combat effectiveness, but that the 29th Army had seriously retreated! Compared with the Great Wall's War of Resistance Against Japan, the current 29th Army's military strength was more than three times that of that year, and its equipment was even more like a bird gun replacement. In contrast, the Japanese army's equipment has not made much progress. In other words, the gap between the 29th Army and the Japanese army is narrowing in terms of hardware.

But on the other hand, the gap between the 29th Army and the Japanese Army in software is widening. The spirit of daring to fight is gone!

During the Great Wall War, Song Zheyuan and others were barefoot and were not afraid of wearing shoes. Now they had some possessions, and there were too many bottles and jars, and they had more concerns and concerns. In order to avoid offending the Japanese, Song Zheyuan and others controlled Hebei and investigated, and ignored Chiang Kai-shek's repeated instructions and did not build decent national defense fortifications. After the war began, Song Zheyuan and others were not thinking about how to fight with the Japanese army, but blocking the troops sent by Chiang Kai-shek in Shijiazhuang and Baoding, and blindly fantasizing about peace with Japan. In this way, under both ends of the head and rat, the 29th Army's forces were scattered in many places, and the command was chaotic. If the 29th Army was undefeated, it would be a ghost.

Although some officers and soldiers of the 29th Army also counterattacked the Japanese in Tianjin and other places, and fought vigorously, even the troops of Zhang Qingyu, the puppet army of Tongxian County, attacked the Japanese and achieved good results, these counterattacks were basically fought on their own and lacked support from reinforcements. After the Japanese army launched large-scale reinforcements, they soon became unsustainable.

Based on all aspects, it can be said that the failure of the Pingjin war was certainly due to the strong Japanese army's strength, but such serious consequences occurred in such a short period of time, which was more caused by Song Zheyuan and others' "will be without fighting spirit".

Knowing that defeat is destined to be one thing, but the result of losing troops and land in just a few days is another. Although Chiang Kai-shek's result is difficult to accept, he has to prepare according to reality at present. In order to reduce the impact of the defeat of the 29th Army, Chiang Kai-shek has delivered consecutive speeches since July 29 to boost morale and restore the influence.

On July 29, Chiang Kai-shek publicly stated: "The Battle of Pingjin is by no means the end of the war. The government can only launch the entire plan, lead the whole country to fight and sacrifice to the end, and there will be no possibility of partial resolution or compromise or surrender."

On the 31st, while the Nanjing government explicitly ordered Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu to express their support to the soldiers of the entire army, saying, "Peace and despair, only when the war of resistance is over, the whole country must be united, and sacrifices must be fought to the death with the Japanese pirates and reviving the nation."

On August 2, Lao Chiang spoke to the members of the training team in Lushan, saying, "The fall of Pingjin was the beginning of the war, and it was a great shame and humiliation. There was no room for negotiation with the enemy and would never stand in harmony with the enemy."

Although Chiang Kai-shek made consecutive speeches, it was still difficult to completely dispel the lucky mentality that some Chinese people had. In addition to Song Zheyuan and other 29th Army members, there were also people who had expectations for the Hi-Central Site in the Nanjing government. Influenced by Japan's previous ultimatum to the 29th Army, these people believed that the Japanese had now obtained Pingjin and punished the so-called "violent 29th Army". Then there should be no war later, and perhaps the Japanese would withdraw their troops soon.

In fact, after occupying Pektsu, Japan also had different opinions. Ishihara Kanir was the representative of the non-expanding faction. He believed that it would be best to seek a peaceful solution under the current situation. Otherwise, once Japan falls into protracted warfare and the force is difficult to resolve, it will eventually be resolved through negotiations.

Ishihara Kanir was one of the planners of the September 18th Incident and was also a sought after the Japanese mainland strategy. However, after the Northeast Incident, he had a new understanding of China.

In Ishihara Kanr's view, it took several years for the Japanese army to eliminate the Northeast Volunteers, which lacked strict organization and logistics supplies. If the mainland of China, which is more extensive and has a larger population, falls into a long-term war, it will inevitably put a huge burden on Japan's national strength. The biggest enemy of the Japanese army is the Soviet Union. According to the number of Soviet troops stationed in the Far East, Siberia and Outer Mongolia, Japan must leave enough troops to deal with the possible attacks by the Soviet Union. In this way, the maximum limit for Japan's existing troops to be transferred to China is 400,000. Although the Japanese army has a lot of combat effectiveness than the Chinese army, it is impossible to conquer China with just 400,000 Japanese troops! Moreover, in northwest China, there is a People's Army that is unfamiliar in northwest China, but has defeated the Soviets and British people one after another, which is absolutely unnegable.

Okamura Yasuji believed that the Japanese army had occupied Manchuria for nearly six years, but it had not yet fully digested this area, and some places still had resistance forces; the exploration, development and utilization of local mineral resources were not high. Under such circumstances, it was not appropriate to occupy North China. Moreover, the Japanese army's long-term imaginary enemy has always been the Soviet Union, and the army's combat preparations were more directed against the Soviet Union. Before the decisive battle with the Soviet Union, it would be more worth the loss if it fell into a protracted war in China.

Ishihara Kanir and Okamura Yasuji were among the few Japanese soldiers with strategic vision. However, their opinions were not as good as those of the expansionists who were high and powerful and were keen on establishing merits for the empire.

The army expanded faction believes that the Japanese army currently have an advantage in the Pingjin area, and with the increase of troops, this advantage will be expanded to the entire North China. In such a situation, it is inappropriate to negotiate with China. We should take advantage of the favorable opportunity that the Chinese army has not yet gathered in North China and do our best to draw troops from Japan to North China to North China, and conquer five provinces in one fell swoop. It is best to annihilate the main force of the Chinese army and then force China to surrender.

The naval generals led by the maritime minister Mine Hiromasaki were not interested in the current war of aggression against China. After all, no matter how lively the army was in mainland China, there was no navy. At best, the navy was just transporting troops and materials to help others. They were unwilling to be a foil and wanted to obtain more resources to develop and strengthen the navy. Mine Hiromasaki and others also disagreed with continuing to fight, believing that it would be best to negotiate peacefully.

After debate, the top Japanese officials decided to negotiate with China before domestic reinforcements arrived in North China. If China agrees with Japan's conditions, they will ask them to withdraw their troops in Hebei and wait for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive in North China before attacking in full; if China does not agree, they will use this as an excuse to continue the attack.

In other words, in the end, Japan will still expand the war of aggression against China. The so-called negotiations are just a cover to confuse China and block the mouths of some people in Japan!

The main content of the negotiation conditions formulated by Japan is to require the Chinese army to withdraw from Hebei and recognize Manchuria. What is speechless is that even with such harsh conditions, the Japanese still think it is "graceful"!

However, Chiang Kai-shek did not see the so-called negotiator of Japan at all, so he flatly rejected Japan's conditions! Through the fact that the Japanese army continued to increase its troops in North China, Chiang Kai-shek clearly determined that the Japanese army would never stop in Pingjin or Hebei this time, and its purpose was the entire North China and even the entire China!

As for the temporary stop of the Japanese army, it was just waiting for the subsequent troops to arrive and taking the opportunity to determine the direction of the main attack. The things promoted by the Japanese could only deceive Song Zheyuan and others, but it was concealed by Chiang Kai-shek, who now has a relatively clear understanding of Japan's intentions.

As of August 1, the Japanese army's troops in North China were added from the original division and three brigades, and the total troop was transferred from the Kwantung Army, with a total force of more than 100,000. In addition, the heavy weapons such as aircraft, tanks and other heavy weapons equipped by the Japanese army were not only sufficient to defend Pingjin, but also to defend the entire Hebei Province. But at present, the Japanese army is still increasing troops from its country to North China, which only means that the Japanese army has no intention of stopping, but wants to further upgrade the scale of the war and expand the scope of aggression.

In fact, on July 29, the Japanese military had formulated the "Outline of the Battle Plan against China", which clearly stated that the Chinese garrison defeated the Chinese army in Hebei Province with four divisions as the backbone, occupied the Qingdao area with one division, and occupied Shanghai with one force.

Previously, the Japanese government had decided to urgently transfer three permanent divisions from the country to North China. The total strength of these three divisions is about 100,000. That is to say, after this part of the troops arrives, the Japanese troops in North China will reach 200,000!

The target of the 200,000 Japanese army is definitely not the 29th Army, which has lost its troops and lost its generals! It will never stop in Hebei! What the Japanese army is planning is at least the entire North China! It is precisely because of this understanding that Chiang Kai-shek delivered speeches one after another to cheer up all walks of life.

Yan Xishan was most shocked about the 29th Army's rapid retreat in the Pingjin area. Although Yan Xishan had heard the saying "The 29th Army won only last a week", when this judgment became a reality, he was still stunned for a while.

After the Japanese occupied Peiping, it was not far from Shanxi. Yan Xishan believed that Zhao Zhenzhong's previous analysis that once the Japanese army captured Pingjin, the next goal would be to attack Shanxi along the Pingsui Line and Zhengtai Road. Although there were also Chahar and Hebei regions as buffers, Yan Xishan understood that Song Zheyuan and others had put all the national defense construction costs allocated by Chiang Kai-shek in recent years, and there was no trace of fortifications at all. They could not withstand the Japanese planes and cannons.

"There are great powers in the northwest!" After exclaiming in a complicated mood, Yan Xishan said to himself again, "The disaster in Jinsui will come in the future."

According to Yan Xishan's original intention, he really wanted to go to the northwest to negotiate with Zhao Zhenzhong on anti-Japanese matters. Although the northwest pursued independence and independence, even if it was union and was not in harmony, it would be of great benefit to the future war of resistance in Jinsui. However, there were telegrams from Nanjing that he had to urge Yan Xishan to arrive in Nanjing 3 days ago to attend the upcoming military meeting. He had to temporarily press the idea of ​​going to the northwest and talk about it after he came back.

The northwest is naturally paying attention to the development of the situation in Ping and Tianjin.

Although I had already understood that the 29th Army is a general, I learned that after the Pingjin area changed hands completely in just 6 days, Li Jishen, Cai Tingkai, Weng Zhaoyuan and others still found it difficult to accept it.

"If there are fortifications, there are no fortifications, there are no commands, and the troops are scattered everywhere, and they are timid. What kind of confusing battle is this?! Song Zheyuan should go to the military court!" Cai Tingkai, who was upright by nature, couldn't help but pat the table and said angrily.

"It's so unreasonable! Fighting such a war makes people feel so depressed!" Weng Zhaoyuan also said angrily.

"As in this way, the next step for the Japanese army should be to advance west or south along the Pingsui, Pinghan, Jinpu and other railways." After years of experience and becoming more cunning, Li Jishen sighed and did not join the accusation of the 29th Army, but analyzed the movements of the Japanese army. "There is a natural danger of the Yellow River to the south. Before the winter begins, the Japanese army will occupy Hebei at most, and it is impossible to make much progress. Progressing along the Pingsui Line or from Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road to the west should be the main attack direction of the Japanese army in the next stage."

Speaking of this, Li Jishen turned to Cai Tingkai and asked: "Xianchu, if you were in charge of the Pingsui Line defense, how would you arrange it? How long can it last?"

Cai Tingkai was stunned at first, and then thought about it: "It depends on the number of troops on both sides, firepower configuration and logistics status. However, if the troops of Liu Ruming's troops, Yan Xishan troops, and Nanjing Central Army on the Pingsui Line and surrounding areas are based on the forces of the Central Army in the Pingsui Line and surrounding areas, and then the earthwork is strengthened, and more than 200,000 troops are formed into a staging configuration. With the logistics support, it should be fine to resist the Japanese army's 100,000 troops for 3,4 months. If the troops arranged is 200,000 people's army, I am sure to eliminate the Japanese army!"

In history, the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War commanded by Cai Tingkai and others had fought more than a month of attacks by the Japanese army. With Zhao Zhenzhong's secret support, Cai Tingkai and others had more than 20 days more than in history. Although the time was not long, the 19th Route Army's own casualties were significantly reduced, and the casualties caused to the Japanese army were much greater. If Cai Tingkai was really allowed to command the Pingsui Line, it would be possible to withstand the Japanese army for 3 or 4 months with a double advantage of force. And if the well-trained and well-equipped 200,000 People's Army commanded him, and the cooperation of the People's Army Air Force, it would be impossible to destroy 100,000 Japanese troops.

After nodding, Li Ji pondered for a while, then exchanged a knowing look with Chen Qiyou, and said to Zhao Zhenzhong: "Chairman Zhao, yesterday we received a telegram from Chairman Chen from Lan Fang. We want to form a 100,000 volunteer army to Shannan to receive strict training from the army. If possible, I hope they can experience it on the domestic anti-Japanese battlefield. In this way, when there is a war in Lan Fang in the future, they can play a greater role when they go back."

After pausing, Li Jishen looked at Cai Tingkai and Weng Zhaoyuan, and said again: "Chairman Chen has signed an order. Xian Chu will be appointed as the commander of the Volunteer Army of Lan Fang, and Zhaoyuan will be appointed as the deputy commander, and Sihua will be appointed as the chief of staff. I beg Chairman Zhao to agree."

"It's okay for us to accept it here. But Lan Fang sent the two commanders Cai, Weng and Li here one after another, and dispatched 100,000 troops. What should we do if Lan Fang's domestic construction?" Unexpectedly, Li Jishen made such a request, and Zhao Zhenzhong was a little surprised.

Lan Fang's total strength is only more than 300,000, and now one-third of the force is drawn to Shannan or northwest for training. In addition, there are also the Deputy Chief of Staff, the Navy and Air Force Commander, this scale is really good.

Cai Tingkai, Weng Zhaoyuan, and Li Sihua were also stunned after hearing Li Jishen's words. They came to visit the northwest, but they didn't expect to stay here.

"In terms of military strength, Lan Fang will send 50,000 people over, and another 50,000 people will be recruited from Lan Fang's relatives who arrived in the northwest. In this way, the impact on Lan Fang's country will not be too great." Li Jishen explained, "As for Xianchu, if he was allowed to stay in Lan Fang, he would probably not be able to hold it in. Although Zhaoyuan and Sihua held the position of commander of the troops, the Air Force and Navy had just been formed, and they all rely on the support of comrades of the People's Party, so that they could learn and master relevant combat theories and practices nearby here. I beg Chairman Zhao to make it difficult."

"Since Chairman Chen has this intention, I can agree. But it depends on the meaning of the two commanders, Deputy Chief Cai, Weng and Li." Zhao Zhenzhong looked at Cai Tingkai, Weng Zhaoyuan, and Li Sihua, who were a little excited, and said, "I can first agree that since I went to the northwest for training, I have to put down my previous burdens. Before the training is completed, you are the role of recruits or trainees. They are not the deputy chief, commander."

"As long as I can go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese devils in advance, Chairman Zhao will make me a soldier!" Cai Tingkai didn't mind at all, and agreed with a laugh.

Weng Zhaoyuan and Li Sihua also laughed and said that there was no problem.

"Looking at Xianchu's spirit, I was so envious that I wanted to stay." After joking Cai Tingkai, Li Jishen shook his head regretfully and said, "Lan Fang also urged me to go back and implement the layout plan proposed by Chairman Zhao before. Zhenru and Jingran have already started to work hard."

After receiving a long telegram from Li Jishen and others, Chen Jiongming praised: "This brother Zhao is becoming more and more admirable! He is so clear about the situation on Lan Fang's side that he has made such a wonderful article!"

Chen Mingshu and Jiang Guangnai are also old people in the army, so they naturally know the benefits that Zhao Zhenzhong's layout brings to Lan Fang. By blocking the relevant sea areas, it is equivalent to adding 1,200 kilometers of depth out of thin air to Lan Fang out of thin air to 1,400 kilometers of depth. With this depth as a buffer, plus the materials accumulated by Lan Fang in the next few years and the output of the rear base during the war, even if Lan Fang cuts off material exchanges with the outside world, he will definitely be able to persist until the final victory. Moreover, Lan Fang can build enough armed forces for strategic counterattacks and finally determine the four outer boundaries of Lan Fang.

"The East Sea Dragon Palace once had a Dinghai Dinghai Sword Needle, we are the heroes of Zhenhai." Chen Mingshu also exclaimed.

"It's really good. I think this plan is called 'Zhenhai'!" Chen Jiongming smiled, "If we suppress the sea, we can win!"

"But such a huge project, manpower and material resources are amazing." Jiang Guangnai frowned and said, "In terms of material resources, we can also find solutions through the Huamei Company we took over. But the manpower needed is difficult for us to solve at present. We can't stop all industrial and agricultural production and specialize in construction, right?"

"We have insufficient manpower here, but Java in the south is overcrowded. It is not a problem to recruit some people to build roads," Chen Mingshu laughed, "Since Java has too many people, it is difficult for us to make some ideas there, but it is always no problem to get some labor to work."

Java Island has an area of ​​more than 120,000 square kilometers, but the population here is very large. In later generations, Java had a population of more than 130 million, and even in this era, it had a population of more than 40 million. Such a large population makes it difficult for Lan Fang to make any decisions about Java Island. Otherwise, even if Java is captured, Lan Fang, mainly Chinese, will find it difficult to digest such a huge alien population, and may even bear a heavy burden.

"This should be feasible." Chen Jiongming nodded in agreement, "Wait for you to study with Jingxian and see how it works appropriately."

Chen Jiongming and others were ready to implement the "Zhenhai" plan after Lan Fang finalized the "Zhenhai" plan. At the same time, Chen Jiongming called Li Jishen and Chen Qiyou, who were in the northwest, and made arrangements for the actions of Cai Tingkai and others. Li Jishen and Chen Qiyou came forward to communicate and coordinate with Zhao Zhenzhong.

Zhao Zhenzhong did not have any difficulties with Lan Fang's request to help the Northwest train 100,000 people. After all, this is equivalent to adding 100,000 reliable friendly forces. Such a force will not only deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army entering the South China Sea in the future, but may even join the Northwest's future strategic counter-offensive operations.

After confirming relevant cooperation matters with the Northwest, although Li Jishen, Chen Qiyou, Chen Juefu and others were concerned about the domestic anti-Japanese war situation and were a little reluctant to part with the Northwest, it was time to return to Lanfang. On August 4, Zhao Zhenzhong and others sent Li Jishen and others on the plane and watched them fly towards Lhasa. From there, they would transfer to Chittagang and then return to Lanfang on a cargo ship.
Chapter completed!
