The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 423 The Beginning of Comprehensive Industrialization

As soon as he said this, the commander of the White Russian regiment became even more nervous.

Jiang Cheng laughed evilly twice, slowly raised his eyelids to look at Ye Hai, and then glanced at Vasily and Zhang Xuecheng.

Both of them held their breath, as if they didn't dare to breathe... and Yang Hongyi, who was following closely behind Ye Hai, also had a pale face.

"What's the matter? We just dealt with a few bad apples. This kind of thing happens every few days in our 29th Division."

On the contrary, at this time, Jiang Cheng smiled gently, "You forgot, didn't we just deal with a few people who smoked opium and played with women two days ago?"

Only he could speak of matters of life and death in this tone.

Vasily didn't dare to say anything anymore and looked at his two superiors nervously: he had just been recruited and had no idea of ​​Jiang Cheng's temper.

"Han Ming, go find some good brothers and take those dead soldiers out to the streets and parade them around the main streets, saying that all the soldiers from the 29th Division who were responsible for the incident have been dealt with."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Then throw it outside Jilin Prefecture, anywhere you want."

This way of handling the matter made Zhang Xuecheng quickly express his position that he would manage his two subordinates well and that such a thing would never happen again.

When dinner was served that night, these barbaric Russians, who usually made a fuss, lined up in order for the first time to get their meals.
We trained in the afternoon and turned off the lights at night. No one dared to be lazy and we learned the military rules quickly.

"You are supposed to do what you do. You are the one who is in charge of people. You were taught a lesson by these idiots in no time."

When Jiang Cheng returned to the office lobby, Sun Zhengnan, who had heard about this, said that this was a two-birds-with-one-stone move.

"I've thought before that these guys are likely to cause trouble. To us, they are just a group of outsiders... We don't have a sense of belonging. To put it bluntly, they are just a group of mercenaries who are paid to do things."

Picking up the documents sent by Han Zongyang and Guan Zhiyuan, Jiang Cheng calmly concluded this matter that seemed to have nothing to do with him, "Today's killing of the chicken to scare the monkey is not just aimed at those White Russians."

"Our troops are growing larger and larger. I deliberately transferred Ding Chunxi and Ye Qinglin here so that they can integrate into the 29th Division as soon as possible."

Looking back silently, Sun Zhengnan thought for a moment and said, "Master Jiang, what you said makes sense... Speaking of the troops that have been incorporated, our 29th Division probably has the most generals and the most complex team system."

"Especially the preparation of the tank unit, Ting Shu and I are both very troubled - we currently don't have enough talent in reserve; we don't even have enough drivers for the newly established baggage unit, and as for the tank drivers..."

Jiang Cheng threw the documents on the table in front of him and rubbed his temples - he had no shortage of money, gold, or even weapons and equipment;

But the current situation is that although he has many generals, among the young and middle-aged people, there is indeed no talent who can lead the tank unit.

Who should we dig inside the pass again?

Looking at the entire Beiyang clique, not many people had seen tanks in 1918. The Japanese soldiers in Jilin were frightened and became obedient. Where could they find a commander?
Moreover, he couldn't train many tank drivers in a short period of time.

The tank drivers that Fernan had brought with him earlier were already trying their best to train talents in his team.
But there are not many people who can drive these days, and the tank has been in production for at least half a year. How dare he pull it to the battlefield of Tumen River?
At that time, let alone the coordination between infantry and tanks, what if a few of these iron guys rush forward recklessly, wouldn't that harm their own people?

Jiang Cheng's head ached when he thought of this. He took out his cigarette box and quickly pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "I'm afraid we'll have to trouble our Chief of Staff for this matter!"

"He knows a lot of people, and he has been in Beijing for more than half a year, so he must have some connections."

After taking two puffs from his cigarette, Jiang Cheng pointed at the pile of documents in front of him and said, "Old Sun, take a look at these reports!" "The first batch of tank parts are being installed one after another, but our power system is too poor. There are power outages or unstable voltage all the time. The equipment here can't run, and even the welding machine can't work."

Sun Zhengnan was also worried when this matter was mentioned: "It's not a big deal, Mr. Jiang, this matter is also a headache for me! Previously, the senior staff said that he would be back by the middle of the month at the latest, and this has been delayed for a full ten days."

Jiang Cheng stopped talking.

It seems that all work in Jilin has been carried out, and mining, forestry, agriculture, and animal husbandry have all made great progress.

But if you think about it carefully, his industrialization is still at a very superficial level...

He licked his lips. Although Jilin Prefecture, under the governance of Meng Enyuan, had a factory that could produce gunpowder guns, the gunpowder could only meet the demand for guns, and the performance of Jilin's own guns was much worse than his current imported guns.

Fortunately, we already have a factory and the workers are all skilled. It will not be difficult to upgrade the advanced equipment from Europe and the United States and develop our own military industry.

Zhang Tinghui's research and development team is also stepping up research on smokeless gunpowder and alloy steel with better performance.

As long as Gao Wensheng successfully transported the batch of thermal power plant equipment hidden in the arms to Jilin, they would be able to rely on the anthracite produced by the Liufangzi Coal Mine to develop the most important facility for industrialization... the power station.

In this way, Jilin's industrialization can be accelerated comprehensively.

"I can't wait any longer."

Jiang Cheng slammed his fist on the thick document in front of him, "I plan to lead my troops into the pass and personally go to meet my uncle!"

Sun Zhengnan was quite shocked. "How can this be possible? You are now the most important person in Jilin! How can you lead the troops into the pass in person?"

He immediately volunteered: "Let my subordinates handle this matter. I..."

Before he could finish his words, the phone on the desk rang.

Jiang Cheng's expression changed when he picked it up.

"It seems that I have to go on this trip."

He put down the phone, his eyes more serious than ever before, "Uncle's troops were detained by the Zhili Army near Qinhuangdao."

…………

The call was from Yang Yuting himself. During the half year when he was unemployed in Beijing, his ears had actually been busy all the time.

In addition, Hai Huixin secretly funded him with a house and some gold and silver in her personal name, so that this little Zhuge had enough funds for his activities.

Relying on Xu Shuzheng's favor, Yang Yuting was able to move freely between the political arenas in Beijing and Tianjin, and he built up many relationships of his own.

"The person who seized this batch of equipment is Fang Shanyi, the regiment commander under the command of Wu Peifu, the Jade Marshal of the Zhi Army."

Jiang Cheng, who was traveling south on a military train, analyzed the situation to Zhang Xuecheng, Guo Xipeng and others who were traveling with him. "At present, the Corps has crowded the port of Qinhuangdao. Although they have not taken action, they have completely blocked all the roads for the baggage to go north."
