The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 481 US Army Avoids War
In this way, the United States and Japan will not only increase their investment for the sake of interests and alliances;

For the rear, they should also cause less trouble, right?
Although they knew this was unlikely, if there was a fight in the rear, they would have another excuse to counterattack.

Besides, Marshal Zhang is not Yan Laoxi from his hometown Shanxi. Can he be stingy and hold on to his purse and refuse to give anything to his own people when they go to fight in the battlefield?

There will definitely be enough food, fodder and ammunition. If they fight better on the front line, given Marshal Zhang's generous personality, he will definitely give them generous rewards.

but……

It is clear from this incident that no matter how great the benefits he showed, he would not be able to attract any old-school generals.

Apart from himself and Jilin's trusted generals, only his father, father-in-law and Gao Wensheng could be relied upon.

These old guys from the Northeast are all short-sighted and only want to grab territory.

Jiang Cheng looked back at Zhang Tingshu with narrowed eyes: Fortunately, I had some strategic vision. As soon as Zhang Hanqing returned from Jiamusi to suppress the bandits, I thought of dragging him into the water as well.

If he hadn't done this, he would probably have really done as he said and put the whole of Jilin into this battle.

"I think we should just settle this for now. The Guard Brigade will be heading to the frontline in the next half day. Jilin will definitely be responsible for the early supplies. Also,"

Jiang Cheng looked back at Zhang Tingshu with narrowed eyes, "Pingchuan will return to the capital in the next few days. I've been thinking about it. After all, it's too heavy a burden to leave such a big thing to Brother Chao Liu."

"Old Sun, a few of the staff officers and I have discussed this. Since our father is here, you will be in charge of the capital - Pingchuan and I will go to the front line."

Zhang Tingshu was shocked: "What? You want us to come...how can this be possible?"

"There are business meetings and exchanges between all parties, plus the big and small political affairs in Jilin. All of us combined are not as smart as you! Besides, I heard from Uncle Jiang that he will be going to Rehe in a few days. How can you leave all the things in the house to us?"

At this point, he waved his hands repeatedly, "If you want to leave the rear to us, I won't do it! If you let me and Pingchuan go to the front line, and if we can't fight... can you go?"

Seeing how determined he was, Jiang Cheng also gave a bitter smile: "Why do you think I can do anything? I just know how to play some tricks or something. You really think I'm a qualified leader."

Of course, having said that, Jiang Cheng didn't say anything else. He just went along with what he said and agreed to let him and Pingchuan go to Yanji.

Two days later, Hai Pingchuan, who had been the representative of the Fengtian Army and was stationed in Tianjin to manage the Fengtian Army affairs, returned.

Not only did he come back, he also brought back the third and fourth batches of equipment shipped from France to Qinhuangdao on a military train.

With Cao Saner's signature and approval, and with the supervision of Matsushita Hideki of the South Manchuria Railway and Suzuki Hiroshi of the North Manchuria Railway Protection Army along the way, transportation along the way was very smooth.

In addition to the equipment of the Second Power Plant, this batch of supplies also included the last twenty or so tanks of the first batch sold to Jiang Cheng, as well as several close-in defense guns and ammunition he ordered.

After completing the unloading, Jiang Cheng stared at the dark equipment under the tarpaulin, his whole body trembling slightly.

I dare not say anything else, but with these things, the Japanese in Jilin will probably not dare to covet his territory anymore.

Now, the first batch of purchases has been completed, and his power plant has been assembled. Next, the steel plant, arsenal, gunpowder factory, and even the oil refinery and other projects will all be launched. Yan Ziwen is negotiating business in this area with the Americans.

Once the Tumen River outlet is connected to Vladivostok, all kinds of equipment, technical personnel, etc. from the other side of the ocean will continue to flow into Jilin.

Indeed, these Western powers also have evil ambitions for China, but their involvement in the Northeast is almost zero.

By introducing them to the Northeast, they could develop Jilin with advanced Western technology, and at the same time, they could rely on Britain, France, and the United States to drive the Japanese out of the Northeast.
The war between China and Japan was inevitable. Jiang Cheng always believed that with his own abilities, he could quickly make Jilin rise and turn the tide in that war that swept across Asia!

…………

On the day when Zhang Tingshu Hai Pingchuan went to the Yanji front, the Siberia Logistics Command was established in the government office.

On July 1918, 7, as the Japanese Combined Fleet attacked Vladivostok, Jiang Dengxuan led the main force of the Jilin Army to attack the Soviet Russian garrison together with the Japanese and American coalition forces, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

However, as the Russian army was attacked by land and sea, the US Army General Graves ordered the US Army to stop the offensive across the board, which made the Japanese commander Kikuzo Otani extremely dissatisfied.

A verbal conflict broke out between the Japanese and American sides in the front military command post, and the situation was almost tense at one point.

Zhang Tingshu reported the situation back to Jilin Prefecture, and Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Some people say that the old-school warlords in the Northeast are only concerned with petty profits, but look at these foreign powers, aren't they the same?
"You say this is strange. The United States is one of the main forces behind the attack on Vladivostok. Now the war is going smoothly. Why don't they continue to fight and take over more territory?"

Sun Zhengnan was very angry about this matter. "The United States' investment this time is not small... Their actions are not beneficial to the war situation."

Jiang Cheng was reading some documents Yan Ziwen reported from Shanghai at this time. When he heard what he said, he shook his head and smiled: "This matter - I'm afraid it has to start with the intentions of the United States."

"In fact, they don't have much desire to have access to the sea. Think about it, the United States has almost no involvement outside the Great Wall, so why would they want to have access to the sea? Besides, a port like Vladivostok is not good for them."

Sun Zhengnan was stunned: "Then..."

Putting down the document in his hand, Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "In fact, the United States is pushing this matter just to prevent the Japanese from continuing to expand their influence in the Northeast."

"Especially as the European war was about to end, they were even more eager to seek a sphere of influence outside the Great Wall."

Jiang Cheng rubbed his hands. In fact, after officially sending troops, the United States also proposed a "limited troop deployment" plan to both China and Japan.

The content is to reiterate that the coalition forces are only required to send troops to Vladivostok, and the number of troops from the United States and Japan must not exceed 7000. The upper limit of the number of troops in the Kyrgyzstan Army is also this -

Moreover, the plan repeatedly required that all parties should withdraw their troops and cease fire immediately after achieving their strategic goals... However, the Russians seemed to be taking advantage of the momentum and continued to attack Russian territory deep along the line, which made the US military very dissatisfied.

Obviously, it was just to curb your expansion, but I didn't expect that you have such a big appetite for wolfish ambitions. How can I allow you to continue to attack northwards?

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is understandable that the US military avoids war.
