The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 408: So Many Soldiers
He has bribed Machino Takema with gold and made him his loyal lackey.

However, if one wants to open up the ports, land transportation, etc. in the Northeast, it is far from enough to rely solely on Machino, an outsider in the General Staff Headquarters.

In addition to relying on him to continue infiltrating the General Staff, he also has to manage Consul Masao Okawa, and it would be best if he could coordinate with someone in the military.

Since he traveled through time, almost every time he fought with the Japanese, he had to fight against the military forces.

Using strategies to make them obey is one thing, now it’s time to use both kindness and force to give them some benefits.

Once he helps Suzuki Hiroshi to overcome this crisis and feeds him some dog food like Machino, he will be his loyal lackey.

"Let's eat first, second brother. You said that your family starved two of Jilin's top officers to death. Who is to blame?"

Jiang Cheng didn't explain his thoughts to him clearly, but sat down in the restaurant, waiting for the servants to bring up dishes, fried rice, etc., while shouting, "Hey, Sister Lin, didn't the French send us some bacon last time? Heat it up and let our Second Master have some!"

Zhang Tingshu curled his lips and waved his hands after hearing this: "Just make do with it - don't make a big fuss about it."

"I'm wondering if you haven't seen Xue'er and the others in a while. The two babies are almost two months old. As a father, have you seen them ten times in total?"

Upon hearing what he said, Jiang Cheng actually felt as surprised as if he had seen Cai Yuanming.

In the past, he often persuaded me to meet Cai Chanjuan and take a look at Chengye and so on...

The hand holding the chopsticks trembled unconsciously, and Jiang Cheng quickly looked away from his face.

How smart is Zhang Tingshu? He immediately understood what he meant, rolled his eyes and said, "And Huixin, she takes care of everything at home for you every day, you should at least coax her."

Jiang Cheng took two bites of food, lowered his brows and nodded, "What are you saying——"

"Once we manage Suzuki Hiroshi in Changchun, we can go north to Jilin Prefecture with peace of mind... But Huixin will have to take care of the Governor's Mansion over there. Alas, her belly is getting bigger, and it's not right to let her worry about it all the time."

Zhang Tingshu picked up a piece of braised pork for him and said, "The more capable you are, the more work you should do. If you are worried that she will be too tired, just look around Jilin and see which girl is good at managing her household. Marry her and you'll be fine..."

Jiang Cheng glared at him angrily: "Fuck you, don't say that again, it will be terrible if your sister hears it."

"Alright, alright, let's go back to the house and rest after eating... I'll go upstairs to check on Hongye and Lingxi too. You know what, I really miss these two little guys."

The two brothers chatted about family matters and gradually felt more relaxed.

After the meal, they both went back to their rooms, while Sun Zhengnan stayed in the lobby of the office and continued to coordinate the price of penicillin with the Japanese side.

In fact, the bid was not too high… You have to know that after the advent of penicillin in World War II, the price soared to the price of a small yellow croaker;
If Jiang Cheng had not been worried about the spread of pneumonia in Changchun, this epoch-making antibiotic would not have been a medicine that ordinary people could "enjoy".

But Nakamura Ikki was too greedy. After obtaining the agency rights, he thought it was a unique deal and immediately drove up the price - and he still refused to reduce his profits until both parties wanted to cooperate.

Sun Zhengnan became nervous when he heard this, and immediately followed Jiang Cheng's instructions and secretly handed him over to Machino Takema.

This greedy Japanese consultant actually colluded with Suzuki Hiroshi and jointly reported that Nakamura and Yoshimoto of Guangjitang had raised prices together, causing great harm to the overseas Chinese in the Japanese territory of Kuanchengzi.

After receiving the report, the Governor's Office was furious. Not only did they report the matter to their Japanese emperor, they also blamed the two unlucky guys for the outbreak of the pneumonia in the Japanese territory of Kuanchengzi and the bloody time caused by overseas Chinese's dissatisfaction with drug prices.

As a result, Nakamura Ikki, who was still immersed in making money from the national crisis, and his loyal subordinate Yoshimoto were secretly arrested and executed by the "righteous" Japanese territorial governor, Suzuki Hiroshi.

This time, the incident of attacking civilians with a "virus" was solved so smoothly. Guangjitang Pharmacy was fully managed by Machino Takema, and this consultant was quite "generous" and gave Suzuki and Okawa some shares.

Of course, this is also what Jiang Cheng meant -

If you want to make the relationship between them closer, it is better to tie them together with absolute interests.

The incident was successfully resolved, and Jiang Cheng made nearly 50,000 yuan using penicillin. In addition, it was also because he loved the people like his own children.
When a typhoid epidemic broke out, he ordered the army to maintain order, reopen water sources, and standardize infrastructure in Changchun City, winning the hearts of countless people.

Except when Jiang Cheng's main force moved away from the capital, the whole city's people came out to see them off, and there was an endless stream of young people coming to the Changchun military camp to sign up for the army... This made Zhang Tinglan, who stayed in Changchun, a little overwhelmed.

With abundant money and food, Jiang Cheng had the idea of ​​expanding his army. Currently, he had nearly 20,000 men under his command, including the garrison troops in Siping.

Before, Jiang Cheng had been busy talking about business and intrigue, and had never really paid attention to the army. After all, he was very confident with Sun Zhengnan and Hai Pingchuan.

He was shocked when he learned the number.

Moreover, when Sun Zhengnan reported, the troops in Dapingzhuang, Fengtian were not counted. If the troops under Jiang Dengxuan and Feng Yong were included, the number would probably be close to 30,000.

Adding his father's death to his count... he finally understood why the Marshal was beginning to be wary of their family.

Fortunately, I dragged my elder sister into this, otherwise, would that old fox be able to rest assured that he could develop Jilin?

As Jiang Cheng thought about it, he turned his body to look at Yu Fengzhi who was following closely beside him.

Ever since Zhang Hanqing got involved with Gu Ruiyu, this elder sister stayed in Changchun for a while under the pretext of visiting Hai Huixin.

Later, because Xiaozhu wanted to do business with Jiang Cheng, he became a permanent resident at the instruction of the Marshal.

Now that they have just moved to Jilin Prefecture and settled down, Jiang Cheng brought his staff to inspect the pharmaceutical factory, and Yu Fengzhi was also going to follow.

"Why is it such a big deal?"

Yu Fengzhi looked at the factory building that was a hundred meters long, then raised his head to look at the beams on the roof. "How big of a business are you planning to do?"

Jiang Cheng smiled but said nothing.

The war will be fought again, and typhoid, pneumonia, wound infections and other diseases will spread in the camps and on the front lines.

The same goes for the rear. By that time, antibiotics will be needed everywhere, and it will be an exclusive copy. He can sell it however he wants and at whatever price he wants.

"You don't know his character yet. Either he won't do this business, or he will definitely do it to be the biggest and the strongest."

Zhang Tingshu immediately took over the conversation and said, "Big sister, you have to add shares, otherwise where would we get so much capital!"

Good man, how do you know what I want to say?

Jiang Cheng just wanted Yu Fengzhi to give more money to the pharmaceutical factory and the clothing factory. After all, all of Shuai Ye’s assets were in the hands of this elder sister.

Even when Xiao Zhang asks for money, he has to be timid... He has to be more deceitful.
