The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 457 Bandit Logic
The Elizabeth Hotel was invested and built by the White Russian businessman Alexander and is the highest-end hotel in the entire Jilin Prefecture.

In the past, when Meng Enyuan was in power, all larger activities were held here.

Jiang Cheng ordered people to book the top floor to entertain his "allies" as a way to show his "importance".

The convoy turned into this large European-style garden-like hotel, and even Gao Wensheng's expression could no longer be relaxed.

The blond Russian boss led several receptionists in formal attire to wait at the door - not only because he was the top leader of Jilin, but also because he had taken in Vasily's troops and had said he was willing to take in the displaced people in the Soviet area.

This Slav was so kind and respectful, so Jiang Cheng naturally showed corresponding respect as well. He raised his hand and shook hands with him gently, then walked upstairs with him.

"I have a distinguished guest to entertain today, so you have nothing to do... Also, keep an eye on the passages to the top floor. No one is allowed to approach."

Jiang Cheng was polite to Alexander, but the latter seemed to have something to say. However, facing his subordinates, the blond Russian boss said nothing with a flickering look in his eyes.

"Old Sun, let's make an appointment later."

Jiang Cheng nodded and winked at him, then headed straight for the newly decorated grand banquet hall.

Masao Okawa, Takema Machino and their party had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Jiang Cheng, Sun Zhengnan, Jiang Dengxuan, Gao Wensheng and Zhang Xuecheng arriving, they all stood up immediately to greet them.

"Jiang is late. Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Jiang Cheng gave a diplomatic smile, walked over with steady steps, and shook hands with his two allies.

In addition to Okawa and Machino, Suzuki Hiroshi was also there, and Jiang Cheng quickly remembered who the middle-aged military officer who was accompanying Okawa was.

All of Zhang Tingshu's snow foxes were scattered around, and Jiang Cheng even bought a batch of cameras for them through French businessman Fernando.

The man in front of me is tall and strong among the short and stocky Japanese.

Takeuchi Nishiya, the highest commander of the Kwantung Army stationed in Hunchun, was 37 years old and a member of the younger generation of the Japanese military... a close confidant of Fukushima Yasumasa and Tanaka Giichi.

When Machino Takema introduced him and shook hands, Jiang Cheng clearly felt that the other party was secretly competing with him.

I heard that this guy is a radical in Japan, and his ideas are similar to those of Minamoto no Yoshihei and Miura who were killed in the past: the Fengtian Army is a bunch of bumpkins who cannot govern the vast black soil, and these inferior races should be completely eliminated.

Then a powerful empire will establish a strong order on this map - letting these low-level races stay here would be a waste of resources.

"It's Commander Takeuchi! I've heard Commanders Fukushima and Ochiai mention you before... They both praised your talent and honor."

Jiang Cheng's words were meant to be polite, but he didn't expect the little devil to directly cover it up: "The evaluation of the two commanders is indeed very objective - this is also an affirmation of me as the commander."

This devil is quite interesting. Can't you hear the compliments?
Immediately his smile became even wider. Jiang Cheng made a "please" gesture and sat down first in the seat that symbolized the first seat.

In fact, logically speaking, both Okawa and Machino are higher in political status than Takeuchi;

According to the Fengtian Army's seating arrangement, Sun Zhengnan should have sat second, but Takeuchi sat to Jiang Cheng's right without saying a word.

Jiang Cheng's face darkened slightly, but after a brief pause, Sun Zhengnan turned to the seat on his left. As soon as Takeuchi sat down, he spoke: "Chief Jiang, I actually don't want to attend this meeting today." "After all, although we have a mission to cooperate, it's just normal official business... Regarding the rotation of guards, we should strictly follow the three steps proposed by our senior leaders. It's a waste of time to hold such a meeting."

He was quite good at talking and offended both the Chinese and Japanese people present.

Jiang Cheng, who was a little unhappy because he snatched the seat, soon became calm: It seems that this Takeuchi is not of the same mind as the other Japanese devils.

His eyes quickly shifted to his lackey Hiroshi Suzuki, who gave him a helpless smile.

It seems that the situation is very clear. Today's meeting was very sudden. It was obviously arranged by Machino again, and all parties related to the withdrawal of troops from Hunchun were dragged in to sit down for talks.

Jiang Cheng seemed not to hear the devil's nonsense. Instead, he calmly pinched the snacks that had been placed on the table.

He slowly broke it in half and handed it to Sun Zhengnan who was standing beside him. Then he lowered his face slightly and ate the snack bit by bit.

What is he in a hurry for?

The advantage is currently on his side. The area around Jilin Prefecture has been cleared and all the resources that were stolen by the Japanese have been recovered.

All the equipment for the power plant is in place and it will be fully operational in three months at the latest - the longer the delay, the better the situation will be for them.

Sure enough, after only two minutes of silence, Machino couldn't hold back any longer: "Chief Jiang, actually, our meeting today was a last-minute decision made by Mr. Okawa and I."

Although Jiang Cheng turned his gaze towards him, he leaned back heavily on the high-back chair and listened to him continue to talk. "But what we are here to discuss today is the official business of withdrawing troops and changing guard..."

"In fact, you know very well in your heart that the cooperation between our Great Japanese Empire and the Fengtian Army is already extremely close."

"That is why His Majesty the Emperor decided to withdraw the Kwantung Army from Hunchun and allow the Fengtian Army to take back the territory - this move will surely deepen the cooperation between our two sides."

Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, but Sun Zhengnan beside him had already received Jiang Cheng's instructions in advance, and immediately said coldly:

"Haha, you said you were promoting cooperation and facilitating our rotation of defenses, but your actions seem to be sending more personnel to Yanji, Tumen, Helong and other places!"

Machino's expression was a little ugly, but the highest commander of Hunchun made a shameless expression: "Then I would like to ask Commander Jiang, why does our Kwantung Army need to send more people to the three places?"

"Of course, I have one more thing I want to ask Chief Jiang... The recent military operations you carried out around Jilin City have infringed upon the interests of our Great Japanese Nation."

"The mines and forests that were originally operated by our merchants are all,"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng sneered, "The land is all mine. What are you thinking? You say that the mine and forest land belong to you, Japan?"

"Yes, you used your powerful ships and cannons to snatch the things from the Northeasterners and occupied them. So what you mean by that is that after taking them for a few days, the things belong to you, right?"

After saying that, Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at the arrogant Japanese soldier: "Bandit logic!"
