Thnak you for the quality of your discussion and most excellent maps. Some thoughts on context. Soviet-Sino accord of Aug, 22, 1937 rattled Japan and Russian assitance to China was much greater than anyone's else. In April a Japan note over Russian aid had been very roughly handled by Litvinov, and as Coox shows the late June sppech warning Japan would have gotten Japanese attention. The July 16 IQHA orders to Korean Army imply that by that date Japan took very serious Russian actions; enough to delay departure of 104th Div, as part of Naval Operation "A" the assault on Guangzhou (Canton). Japanese Naval history states that whole Operation on hold until agreement with Russia reached. Given Coox's passing reference to Stalin directives Far eastern forces; possible Soviets are trying to help China at time when defense of Wuhan (Hankow, etc) still possible.
i agreed with you .the quality of discussion is very good and the same with maps
thank you
