The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 473: Commander-in-Chief
"Master, who on earth is this late at night..."

On the intricately carved Western bed, the Marshal's fifth wife, Shou Yi, turned over and hummed something incoherently.

Without answering his concubine's question, the Marshal got out of bed holding the pile of papers, put on a European silk robe and sat down on the leather sofa.

"Go turn on that light for me..."

The Marshal waved his hand at Zhao Xishun, and he calmed down.

What are you panicking about?
There is a Japanese consulate in Fengtian City. If the matter is really big enough, no matter it is the government office hall or the governor's mansion, the Japanese will have to break in.

Zhao Xi went over to turn on the headlights, but turned back and whispered, "Chief of Staff Yang is already here, and he's waiting for you downstairs!"

As if she had heard the words of her personal guard, Shou Yi, who was originally half asleep, showed her physical fitness as a descendant of a military general and jumped out of bed with a somersault.

She ran barefoot to the large wardrobe against the wall, took out her underwear and robe, and handed them to the commander carefully: "Don't delay, don't you have something important to do?"

Marshal Zhang just said "hmm" and asked his concubine to put the clothes aside.

Marshal Zhang lowered his head and quickly glanced over the contents of the telegram, and couldn't help but gasp.

He quickly grabbed his reading glasses from the coffee table and put them on, then read the contents carefully again. The old fox suddenly jumped up: "What is this? What does it say here is... Lin Ge has arrived? Hurry up and get him to my study!"

After saying this, he didn't even bother to change the clothes that his concubine had found for him. He said to her, "Old Fifth, you go to sleep first," and almost trotted to the study.

Seeing his usually calm and composed master like this, Shou Yi quickly grabbed Zhao Xishun and said, "Hey, Xishun, what happened that made Master so anxious?"

In fact, he himself was also confused. He did not read the entire content of the telegram, let alone understand it... Of course, even if he understood it, how could he dare to publicize the affairs of his superiors?

"Madam, you should go back and ask Master. Master has already gone upstairs, so I better hurry upstairs!"

Zhao Xishun bowed to Shou Yi in a panic, turned around and ran downstairs to call Yang Yuting.

The Fengtian Army's top chief of staff had only been reporting for three minutes when Marshal Zhang slammed the table and said, "What on earth is that thing you were talking about? Look, there's a telegram from Xiao Liuzi here."

"The description is similar. What is this?"

Yang Yuting's thoughts were disrupted by his old boss, but he blinked his shrewd eyes quickly and immediately calmed down and said: "Tanks are a new type of weapon equipment on the European battlefield--"

"Master, if I'm not mistaken, this is not the first time that Jiang Feilan has used this foreign thing in actual combat."

"The Jiang Bridge where he fought with Gao Shibin should be this thing... He raided Yanji this time and led his troops to Tumen. This,"

Marshal Zhang fanned his hands anxiously: "Alright, let's not talk about this foreigner in such detail - let's discuss it now. Now that this brat has caused such a big incident, what should we do next?"

"Also, this Jilin Governor...can he still do his job?"

really!

Yang Yuting's heart was shocked.

He knew very well that Jiang Cheng's current behavior was no different from disobeying the commander's orders. Add to that the tanks with excessive firepower and his embryonic mechanized troops... Yanji, which was heavily guarded by the Kwantung Army, couldn't hold on, so what about them?

The Fengtian Army now has more soldiers and generals, and its weapons and equipment have also been improved; but as the Chief of the General Staff, Yang Yuting still has a clear idea of ​​the strength of the entire army.

With their current strength, there is still a certain gap between them and the Zhi army, not to mention the Japanese devils -

"Master Shuai, to be honest, your worries are not unnecessary."

Yang Yuting took a deep breath and said, "If this Jiang kid really has rebellious intentions, we can't defend ourselves against him!"

"The Jilin Army is huge in number. They have been given two divisions, but this is only the number of standing troops... The actual number could be doubled."

At this point, his expression calmed down a little, but he changed the subject, "But no matter what, I think the Jiang family father and son are still trustworthy."

Marshal Zhang raised a corner of his eyelids and looked at him coldly for more than ten seconds: "Oh?"

Yang Yuting straightened his chest immediately: "Master, after what happened with Xu Shuzheng before, I admit that I have never sent any private messages!"

"It goes without saying that Jiang Jingyan has a good reputation as an official in Rehe, and he loves the people like his own children. The production development on the ground is also going well. The same is true in Jilin. Sir... Have you ever heard of an official stepping out to provide food and drink and medical treatment when there was an epidemic in a certain place?"

When he mentioned the epidemic in Changchun, Marshal Zhang's face relaxed a little. Yang Yuting continued, "For this reason, I still trust the Jiang family - in addition,"

At this point, his tone suddenly became stiff: "We have to think about why the Japanese wanted to kill him and support Master Zhang Wu?"

If that series of preparations were to "sing praises" to the Jiang family, then this last sentence to Zhang Jinghui was a bombshell!
"Don't tell me, I've been thinking about this too."

The old fox lowered his eyes and sneered, "Their opinions are too consistent: from Kikuchi to Tanaka, and even Fukushima Yasumasa, they are all recommending Zhang Jinghui to me..."

"Haha, my fifth brother probably spent a lot of money!"

Knowing that his boss had already followed his train of thought, Yang Yuting immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "Master, I'm not afraid of gold and silver."

"After all, money is limited. Even if Master Zhang Wu takes over Jinzhou and Jilin, the benefits he can bring to the Japanese are limited."

"Master, have you ever thought about this? If the Fifth Master flirts with them and sells the land in Jilin to them, it will become their rear support for Haikou. In less than a year, the whole Jilin will become a country within a country of Japan."

"By then, their power will extend along the North and South Manchuria Railway, and we will be unable to defend ourselves!"

"I know very well that Jiang Feilan and his son are too powerful now, but they are the people the devil hates the most after all - let them resist the devil in Jilin and seize the Tumen River outlet... Once they succeed, the rise of Northeast China is just around the corner!"

A blueprint was laid out before Marshal Zhang...With this old fox's shrewdness, how could he not figure this out?
He let out a long breath: "Yes, even if the father and son are unreliable, the Fuchen family is always reliable... Even if even the Fuchen is unreliable, the Fengzhi girl is always trustworthy."

If he can't even trust the daughter-in-law he has carefully selected, then he should stop being the King of Northeast China.

But at this point, the Marshal's eyes quickly turned to Yang Yuting, and his eyes immediately became mischievous, "You must have spent a lot of money to speak up for them, right?"
