The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 239: I have to go
Jiang Cheng stopped talking.

Jiang Dengxuan, who was cooking, didn't seem to notice his changing expression and continued, "Feilan, now the entire General Staff Department is saying that you, Jiang Feilan, are now the regiment commander, but you are only stationed in the West Camp in Fengtian--"

"Everyone knows that place has no room for you, Jiang Feilan. Even the chief of staff said that you will have to go to Siping to take over in the future."

"This change of leadership is inevitable in the future."

Jiang Cheng understood the implication of his words. He shook his head and sighed, "Okay, Brother Chao Liu, I understand!"

"It seems that as someone who has been tacitly agreed to guard Siping, I have to go to Zhengjiatun."

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Jiang Cheng shrugged and said nothing more.

Helping him prepare three vegetarian dishes, Jiang Cheng had secretly made up his mind: while they were in Zhengjiatun, no matter whether it was Xiyingchang, Dapingzhuang or the horse farm, they had to be prepared at all times and places.

After asking a few more questions about the general plan, Jiang Cheng had a rough idea in mind, so he returned with him carrying the dishes.

Cai Yuanming saw them turn around and complained, "I say you two are too slow in cooking these few dishes! Have you been waiting since you planted the vegetables?"

Jiang Cheng knew that he was trying to shut Zhang Hanqing up first, so he immediately rolled his eyes at him and said, "Eat your food, good wine and good food, they won't fill your mouth!"

Brother Zhang Hanqing also smiled and turned the topic to an important point -

In fact, he also wanted to understand the situation of studying in Zhengjiatun today through this conversation;
But when facing this old man, Jiang Dengxuan was completely vague. Sometimes he said he was not sure, and sometimes he said he was just an errand boy and how could he hear so many confidential information.

Anyway, the subject was completely changed in just a few words, which made Zhang Hanqing anxious, but he also knew clearly that he could not ask any more questions this time.

The meal was over, but the young commander didn't find out what he wanted to know, and he felt a little unhappy.

After leaving Jiang Dengxuan's house and separating from the Zhang brothers, Jiang Cheng settled Cai Yuanming and Yang Yucheng, and immediately followed Hai Pingchuan out of the city and headed straight for Fengtian West Camp.

"The things have been retrieved and are safely hidden in the underground fortifications of the West Camp."

Upon entering the room, this confidant quickly reported, "Bayin and I carefully counted three times—"

"That eight tons is no more, no less!"

Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes became hot unconsciously as he felt his heart burning with heat: "That's great, Pingchuan, this, this is a huge fortune!"

Hai Pingchuan also said with envy: "I really never thought that this group of former Qing Dynasty Zongshe Party would be so wealthy!"

"But there is one thing I really don't understand... Since these people have so much money, they can use it to recruit soldiers, buy guns and cannons, and arm a large army."

Jiang Cheng stopped talking.

If the rise and fall of a dynasty can really be measured by money, then why did the Qing Dynasty fall?

He was taught from childhood that the Qing dynasty was backward and corrupt, that the national treasury had basically no money to spare, and that the so-called Beiyang clique was no different from the Boxers, using cold weapons against the foreign guns and cannons of foreign powers...

But later, when I really understood history, I realized that there was no pauper in the Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang Clique. All of them were extremely wealthy.

Their weak combat effectiveness is related to the gap in equipment.

But in the final analysis, a big part of the reason why the Qing Dynasty was destroyed and the subsequent Republic of China suffered a series of defeats against the Japanese devils was ideology!

Even the money for buying an airplane can be used by a certain lady to buy stocks in the United States. What kind of combat effectiveness can such a team have? He raised his chin to him and motioned Hai Pingchuan to take him to see the batch of gold that was retrieved. Jiang Cheng looked at the golden sight and smiled mockingly: "Pingchuan, these things can certainly make us rich and even realize our ambitions,"

"But once the news gets out, not only will our lives be in danger, but our entire family will also be in trouble!"

Hai Pingchuan looked back at him and said in a serious and honest manner: "Feilan, I decided to be on the same boat with you when I was young."

"Do you remember when we were little and we were studying in a foreign school together, you were often bullied, and our fathers were not high-ranking people—"

"Look at that time. Even Bao Yulin and Wu Taixun were protected by their families. We were close friends at that time, so there was no need to talk about whether it was harmful or not!"

"We're brothers, and that means we're brothers for life!"

Jiang Cheng looked at him with great admiration: "Now when I think of those Japanese spies, I am really a little scared."

"How many lives have been lost because of this gold? These things... should be used well in the future if they fall into our hands."

As he spoke, he told Hai Pingchuan everything he had heard from the letters at Jiang Dengxuan's house today, including his own guesses and predictions.

"I understand. It looks like this future is another life-and-death battle!"

Hai Pingchuan took a deep breath and said, "Then, let's stick to the old rules. You give us orders and we'll listen to you!"

Jiang Cheng shook his hand firmly: "Time is running out, there is no time for any more nonsense."

"Pingchuan, we have to take advantage of the long holiday to get the brothers in the West Camp ready..."

"Then the equipment must also be fully equipped. I will mention this to Yuan Zong and ask him to urgently transfer a batch of equipment to me from Daping Village."

"It's not certain that a fight will break out. You, me, and even Uncle Hai at Daping Village and the horse farm, all have to make sure everything is in place!"

…………

The long vacation passed quickly, and the next day after they returned to the Military Academy, Guo Maochen ordered everyone to set off.

After the last misjudgment, the trainees had learned their lesson this time, and they all carried large and small bags... and naturally they also carried guns and cold weapons.

Looking at this fully armed army with quite modern qualities, Guo Maochen showed a smile mixed with pride and pleasure.

Surprisingly, we thought they were going to take a train to Siping and then walk to Zhengjiatun;

However, Guo Maochen ordered them all to walk and march directly to Zhengjiatun at a rapid speed.

The journey is quite long. Do we have to let them camp along the way?

Even Jiang Cheng didn't know this detail. He looked sideways at Zhang Hanqing as he walked, and even he looked puzzled.

It was clear that even he didn't know that Guizi Guo was trying to make them go to Zhengjiatun by big feet, so there was really no one else who could know it.

I could vaguely hear someone complaining in the team, but Guo Maochen, who was walking in the front, seemed not to hear it at all. Instead, his steps became faster and more determined.
