May 31, 1933, China and Japan signed up the Tanggu Truce. Because Zhang Xueliang failed in the battles in Rehe and Great Wars, both came to an agreement in Tanggu, as the cease-fire truce for the September 18. Since this agreement implies that China recognized it legal for Japan to occupy Manchuria and Rehe, later China had many opposite opinions. On the other hand, for this agreement Japan had the time to settle down in its newly conquered lands, and prepare well for the future wars in 1937.
