The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 188 Rejection
Have the orders been drawn up?
Jiang Cheng was shocked!

But in front of Marshal Zhang, he still stood straight and remained calm.

Jiang Dengxuan silently took out a piece of paper and held it in front of the Marshal with both hands.

But the old man did not take it. Instead, he raised his chin towards Jiang Cheng with a slightly playful expression, indicating that he should give the thing to him.

Jiang Dengxuan was stunned for a moment, but he turned his head, walked over gently and handed him the paper.

Jiang Cheng took it respectfully with both hands, and slowly lowered his eyes to scan——

This is obviously an order that has not been issued, as the time and signature are blank.

However, there is a big red seal from the General Staff.

After reading it carefully twice, I found that he was indeed appointed as the regiment commander and transferred to Siping to replace Du Haisheng as the garrison commander.

Thinking and considering quickly in his heart, Jiang Cheng sensed something.

Something is wrong!
Based on his understanding of Marshal Zhang's temperament, he had the temperament of a purely autocratic warlord, whether he was managing the army or his family.

In other words, if he really wanted to do something, he would have made the decision right away. How could he have asked the General Staff to sign a form and keep it without issuing it?

"Master, I..."

With an expression of trepidation in an instant, Jiang Cheng ran up cautiously.

Gently placed the order on the table in front of the Marshal: "Master, we can be joking, but we dare not take it seriously! I am just talking casually..."

"Fuck you, you are just saying it casually, but I, your grandfather, don't say it casually!"

The Marshal slapped the paper hard, "Is it a joke to be promoted to captain?"

Jiang Cheng wanted to cry but had no tears: "Master, my dear Master! Please don't scare me... Siping is such an important place, a strategic place where two provinces meet, you want me to be in charge?"

"I must have had diarrhea these past few days! Please stop kidding me... We were just joking when we said Han Qing was the head of the group!"

I saw the gentleman slightly tilt his head and slowly withdrew his right hand from the unissued order.

The sharp eyes looked him over carefully, and the commander smiled and said, "You little brat, I'm really giving you the chance to be the leader now."

Are you giving me the chance to be the team leader?
Jiang Cheng clasped his hands together and begged for mercy:

"You intend to flatter me, but I can't do that. But sir, I know my own worth!"

"Du Haisheng is my fifth uncle. How can a rookie like me who has just grown up be qualified to be his superior?"

"I know clearly that the Japanese are bullying us too much. Meng Enyuan is clearly hostile to them..."

Having said this, Jiang Cheng thought the time was almost right and immediately chose to shut up under his scorching gaze.

The cold, scrutinizing gaze quickly began to gather into a needle point.

But at the same time as the air froze, the shrewd commander suddenly burst into laughter, almost shaking the piles of documents on the table.

"Hahahaha... Tell me how can I say hello to you, you bad boy?"

"That's right. After what you said, it seems a bit inappropriate to give you the title of group leader over your fifth uncle!"

When he said this, Jiang Cheng clearly saw that there was still probing in his eyes, and quickly added: "It's not just a little inappropriate, it's really too inhumane..."

"My father and his brothers will talk about this matter in the future."

After blinking his eyes, Jiang Cheng said, "I might as well wait until the kid finishes school and arrange for him to be a platoon leader or company commander or something like that—" "But no matter how I arrange it, I must not let the kid go past my fifth uncle."

Marshal Zhang gave him a meaningful look and said, "Let's not talk about Jilin for now."

"The one that's giving me a headache is still the 28th Division..."

"The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh, how difficult is that!"

Jiang Cheng knew that he had no right to interrupt on this kind of topic, so he simply chose to keep silent.

Also...it's almost time for the dust to settle.

In the middle of this year, the queue army raised the banner of restoration and rushed into the city. The Marshal accepted the advice of his advisers and asked Feng Delin to lead the entire army to reinforce, but he ended up being imprisoned in the capital.

He never made a comeback until his death in 1926.

But for some reason, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but think of the time when Feng Delin came to Dapingzhuang and planned to kill him.

The face of his son Feng Yong appeared in his sight. This man, who later founded a university, persisted in resisting the Japanese invasion, and also... saved his life.

"Boy, if there really comes a day when the Japanese turn against us and attack Fengtian with guns and cannons, what will you do?"

I don't know why this wise future King of Northeast China asked this question.

Jiang Cheng shuddered slightly, took a deep breath and said, "The Northeast is our home!"

“Feilan can fight, charge, and shed blood on the battlefield.”

"Dedicate my life to the country and fight against the Japanese until death!"

Standing up because of his somewhat emotional words, Marshal Zhang shook his head and smiled, "You little brat, you are not afraid of taboos at such a young age."

"I still say the same thing. When you are really surrounded, run and pray for a child—"

"Take Hanqing with you and run to have a child!"

…………

On the second day after the celebration banquet, the order from the General Staff came down.

Cai Yuanzong and Jiang Cheng were promoted one level each in military rank, and the eldest son of the Cai family was reinstated as the head of the regiment, taking full control of Dapingzhuang, Erliangou and even Xiyingchang;
The territory expanded nearly twice in an instant, especially the fertile land on both sides of the Pu River, which made Jiang Cheng very greedy.

However, the order for Jiang Cheng to go to Siping did not come down. It was obvious that the order would be officially issued only after he graduated from the Military Academy.

"Damn it, you said I played with my life for a long time, and in the end your brother was promoted to the leader of the group?"

Jiang Cheng vividly described what he had seen and heard in the past month, and immediately expressed his displeasure, "I didn't even get a single cent?"

With constant rewards from the higher-ups, the regiment headquarters in Daping Village has changed a lot. Not only has it doubled in size, but Cai Yuanzong's large office has also been given a set of neat new furniture:
Sand tables, military maps, weapon racks, etc. are all included, making the place much more impressive than when Cai Junheng was still alive.

At this moment, Hai Pingchuan, Yang Yucheng and even several female relatives were present. After hearing what he said, Cai Yuanming stood up, punched Jiang Cheng and said with a smile: "We are brothers, and there is still room for you and me?"

"Even if something happens after the family splits up, your things...will still belong to my nephew in the future!"

As he said this, he moved his eyes to his sister's bulging belly and smirked twice, "Don't stare at me, can you point out my mistake if you can?"

Jiang Cheng glared at him: "Look how beautiful you are, you even slept with your nephew!"

"When your nephew grows up a little and realizes that his uncle is a jerk, see if he will still recognize you!"
