The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 416 Raising troops to investigate crimes
Guo Songling's face was longer than a donkey's. According to the impressions of Jiang Chenghai and Pingchuan, this guy always had an expression that asked for a beating...

Now that these words were said, an unprecedented look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

As soon as he arrived at the government office hall in the capital of Jilin, he showed his authority to the provincial governor in front of so many people.

When I gave way to you at the Military Academy, did I give you too much credit?

You know, when he was studying, he was in the mixed capital of Fengtian, and the first batch was basically to train the handsome man's personal followers, and there were Zhang Hanqing and Wu Taixun and other noble young men...

He more or less kept a low profile in front of Mr. Guo and several instructors. After all, even Jiang Lanxuan had told him to try not to cause trouble.

Do you think I'm a coward?

Jiang Cheng did not answer him. Instead, he took off his military cap coldly and handed it to Han Ming, who was standing beside him timidly.

"You said this to me?"

Jiang Cheng's words suddenly turned cold, and he glanced at the other party, "Mao Chen, we have a good personal relationship... but personal relationships are personal relationships, and official business is official business."

"Since we are discussing official business, we still need to pay attention to military construction and the etiquette between superiors and subordinates. Maochen, you were also an instructor at the Military Academy. You should understand the importance of this, right?"

At present, the commander of the Guard Brigade is still Zhang Hanqing. Even if there is any problem in Siping, it should be Zhang Hanqing who will contact me.

He hasn't said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry?

Besides, even if he is Xiao Zhang, he should be polite to me. Why are you trying to be the big shot?
Jiang Cheng's words made everyone hold their breath, especially the subordinates who had experienced the "Cai Family Incident", who were all silent as a mouse.

"Why, doesn't Maochen know etiquette?"

Seeing that the young commander-in-chief was serious, Guo Songling, who had originally been ready to call the shots, suddenly became speechless.

Even in the Guards Brigade, he was only Zhang Hanqing’s deputy;
And the former student in front of him has become a high-ranking provincial governor.

"I……"

After being speechless for a while, Guo Songling still used honorifics to address him and called him superior.

"Feilan, do you think this is fun? We all knew it at the beginning... Forget it!"

Seeing his confidant being humiliated in public, Zhang Hanqing could no longer hold back.

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, Jiang Cheng couldn't find anything wrong with what he said, and he even used the special identity of "instructor" to pressure him to submit -

Is that so? Even you, an instructor of the Fengtian Army, don’t observe the etiquette between superiors and subordinates in the army. Are there any rules in the entire Northeast?
Seeing the handsome face turn pale, Jiang Cheng smiled again in an instant: "Well, that's what I said, but nothing is absolute! It's not a good idea to always stand in the wind. It makes me, Jilin, look like I don't care about anyone!"

This changed the tone of the conversation. Zhang Hanqing couldn't follow his train of thought, but Sun Zhengnan, the chief of staff, was very smart and quickly invited them upstairs to exchange pleasantries.

At this time, the office hall was already busy. Especially since Jiang Cheng had just moved the capital here, all work had not yet been put on track. Civil servants holding documents were everywhere upstairs and downstairs.

"You seem quite busy here, but I heard people say... you are doing a good job as a warlord!"

After entering and sitting down, Zhang Hanqing looked at the tea served to him, as if he had forgotten what happened just now. "Is everything okay at home? I heard that my sister-in-law gave birth to a pair of children for you, but why didn't I hear that you held a full-month banquet?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Haha, I wanted to invite everyone to the provincial capital to have some fun... but Xue'er has not been in good health. Besides, we have just moved to the capital, and there are a lot of things to do inside and outside. So, we thought, "

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly noticed Guo Songling's cold eyes. He finished the second half of his sentence, "I'm thinking of opening a 100-day bar."

Then he leaned forward and turned his gaze to Guo Songling without any emotion, "Let's get back to the point. Maochen, what did you say about Siping...?" Guo Songling snorted softly, his half-smile expression just as annoying as he was back then:

"It turns out that General Jiang still remembers these trivial matters of ours - I thought you were so busy with important matters day and night that you would not care about the trivial matter of suppressing bandits in Jiamusi!"

bang.

As soon as he finished speaking, the teacup in Jiang Cheng's hand fell to the ground.

It looked like it was dropped by accident, but even a fool could see that Master Jiang did it on purpose.

The large office suddenly fell silent again. Zhang Hanqing turned to Guo Songling with helplessness, but after a brief eye contact, Zhang's expression became even more helpless.

You can make a fuss all you want, you don't really think that he, Jiang Feilan, is still the little captain of the Military Academy who only knows how to be clever and keep a low profile, right?

"Mao Chen went north to suppress bandits?"

Jiang Cheng spoke each word slowly, took out a silk handkerchief from his shirt and wiped his hands slowly, "Use your mouth?"

Guo Songling's eyes suddenly sparked, and he sneered but still spoke sharply: "What I am here for, the Marshal's Office knows it - but General Jiang, you are blocking the march north, what you are trying to do, no one knows, right?"

Sun Zhengnan could no longer bear it: "Maochen, you just accused us in Jilin of not cooperating with the Guard Brigade to go north, saying that Siping Station refused to allow the military train to stop... This matter has nothing to do with us!"

"If you want to find someone, you should go to the Japanese.

Guo Songling raised his hand and interrupted him: "Matsushita Hideki entered the pass to fight, and the Siping Railway Station was handed over to Suzuki Hiroshi and others;"

"As for the customs clearance documents for the military train, I asked Wu Dongyun to hand them over to Hai Rushong, the current garrison commander of Siping. Suzuki said that he had never seen the document."

"Who among you was the one who delayed the military intelligence?"

Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone knows that the Guard Brigade passed through South Manchuria and headed north. Even if there were any customs clearance documents, they would be handled by the General Staff Department. What does it have to do with us?

But if the procedure is that the Guard Brigade issues the customs clearance documents and asks Siping to handle it, although it does not conform to common sense, it is possible.

If it was really Hai Rushong who delayed the event, if it were someone else, they would probably just drink three cups of wine as punishment and let it go... But who is Guo Songling?
He looks like he's ready to accuse someone of something when he stands in front of him. If he really catches him with evidence, he'll make a big fuss about it, right?
Turning his gaze to Hai Pingchuan, the latter was really getting nervous.

You are such a father.

Jiang Cheng could understand why Hai Rushong made a mistake in a hurry - Hai Rushong, who had just taken over the garrison of Siping since the Japanese troops from the General Staff Headquarters moved south to Qingdao, was in a mess.

In addition, there were epidemics in Changchun and Liufangzi, as well as bandits near Siping, which made him even more anxious.

"Well, it's just a matter of one sentence."

Jiang Cheng smiled calmly, "Old Sun, call Suzuki in Changchun right now and tell him it was my idea."

"Let Siping Railway Station open to traffic. Haha, if the trains don't come in, how will the soldiers get off and how will the equipment and food be transported?"

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged at the train station."
