With the fall of Jehol in 1933, the Tangku Truce laid down that certain portions of Hopel were to be demilitarised. In 1935, Japan demanded the dismissal or certain Military Oficials in Hopel who were recalcitrant to Japanese per suasion. In the summer of the same year, when the Chinese Goy- ernment was concentrating on a drive against the Communists, Japan tried her old trick of spion- soring an, autonomous movement in the Ave northern provinces of Hopel, Shantung, Shansi, Chahar, and Bulyuan.""The plan went to pieces against the patriotism of the Chinese in these provinces, and Japan had to be content with the creation of an East-Hopel autonomous puppet Government in the demilitarised zone. To coun- teract the Japanese designs in North China, the Central Govern- ment created the Hopel-Chahar, Political Council.
