The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 484 Login
Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled. These people... really don't know how to disguise themselves at all.

However, from this perspective, they were probably just ordinary people who were deceived by the Japanese into coming to China and used as "guns".

Even a smart man like Zhang Tingshu understood it, and asked a few questions softly to the only man who understood the Chinese language.

His name is Choi Jung-ho, he is 42 years old and was originally a fisherman near Incheon.

After the Japanese landed in Incheon and set up a naval command center nearby, the farmers in these places were killed or chased all the way to the shore.

The living space was greatly squeezed, and many people died of hunger and cold. Soon after, the Japanese proposed the policy of "pioneer group":

They promised to follow the army into the Northeast, and as long as they took on some of the work of "able-bodied men", they could be allocated land and so on.

"So, the land that the Kwantung Army is talking about is being snatched from the people of Yanji?"

When Zhang Tingshu had finished asking questions, Jiang Cheng gently waved his hand, signaling them to untie them, and said softly, "You are actually similar to the local farmers in Northeast China. You are also the invaded party."

"I, Jiang Cheng, am not unreasonable, but you are in Yanji, which is my Jilin territory. If you beat someone up and cause trouble, I can't just sit there and do nothing, right?"

Cui Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing these words, but soon became nervous again:
Because he didn't know to what extent the other party's "let it go" would "control" them.

Give him a beating?
Drive out of Yanji City?
Or even... drag them all out and shoot them?

Cui Zhenghao raised his head and changed his terrified expression: I heard from the Japanese that although this Jilin governor surnamed Jiang looks gentle and handsome, he is a vicious person who kills and robs people, and even buries alive the bandits he catches.

Seeing his uneasiness, Jiang Cheng calmed down instead, put on a cold and arrogant look of scrutiny, stared at the other person intently, and made him turn his eyes away quickly.

"As for me, I thought about it carefully--"

Jiang Cheng spoke word by word, "You are all poor people trying to make a living in Jilin... Tsk tsk, it's not appropriate to just drive you all away."

"But if we keep you there, conflicts will arise between you and the local people because of the limited land..."

"Now, there are many houses that can be resettled in Dunhua City. In addition, there is more land and more water resources there. I plan to build several villages for your Chao clan to govern themselves around Dunhua County—"

"You can cultivate the land, and just pay the rent in full and on time every year... All other rights are the same as those of our local soldiers and civilians! Do you think you are willing to move to Dunhua City?"

When Cui Zhenghao heard this, he smiled happily and immediately knelt down before Jiang Cheng with his fellow villagers, shouting that he was a god of this and that, and that he was the brightest sun and so on.

"Hey, don't rush to praise me. Can you do this?"

Facing the governor's question, Cui Zhenghao patted his chest and assured that there would be no problem: It is not easy for them to make a living in Yanji. Now the governor is willing to give them a piece of land to farm and produce crops and live a good life. What's there to be unwilling about?
After the matter was finalized, Jiang Cheng asked Zhang Tingshu to pick two suitable subordinates to handle the matter carefully;

The latter frowned in confusion, after all, in his opinion, the Koreans were not much different from the Japanese, and they were all the same invaders to the Northeast. But Jiang Cheng did not see it that way.

First of all, the Koreans were in a worse situation than the Northeasterners. Their regime had basically been destroyed by Japan. Within their borders, anti-Japanese actions could only be carried out on a small scale, as it was illegal after all.

In this case, the North Koreans must hate the Japanese more.

Secondly, once these common people enter the Northeast, he can completely assimilate them...

Before the September 18th Incident, the more exchanges there were between China and North Korea, the higher the assimilation would be. By then, these people would only regard a foreign land as their hometown and would defend the Northeast at all costs.

And the most important point is that there are still many Japanese devils in Dunhua City. Since the Japanese devils are using Koreans to deal with us, why can't General Jiang use their own method to fight back?
"If a conflict breaks out between Japan and North Korea, won't Fourth Uncle have more reasons to deal with the Japanese in Dunhua City?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and blinked, "If this matter can be resolved smoothly, we can defeat the Japanese again!"

Just as Jiang Cheng was resolving the territorial dispute on the Hunchun front, on July 7, Jiang Dengxuan and Japanese commander Otani Kikuzo broke through the Russian defenders in the Vladivostok area.

In this situation of consecutive victories, Kikuzo Otani believed that it was far from enough to just send troops to the Vladivostok area, and it was necessary to extend the scope of the troops to deeper locations in Siberia.

As for the Japanese military represented by Tanaka Giichi, they were more radical. They believed from the beginning that the "limited troop dispatch" plan was not feasible.
Now facing the results of victory, they believe that they should immediately break the "limited troop deployment" and realize the "independent troop deployment" they have always envisioned, so as to gain absolute control over armed intervention in Siberia and other places.

On July 7 of the same year, US Secretary of State Robert met with Chinese Ambassador to the United States Kikujiro Ishii, repeatedly demanding that the Japanese army should abide by the coalition plan of "limited troop dispatch" and requiring the Japanese and Kyrgyz armies not to send additional troops to the Siberia region.

Under such circumstances, not only did the Japanese army turn a deaf ear to it, but even Jiang Cheng simply treated it as a fart.

The Japanese army used the method of slow advance to secretly transfer nearly 10,000 Kwantung Army troops from the Northeast and Japanese-controlled Korea to the Vladivostok area.
Jiang Dengxuan and all the troops of his 30th Division also entered combat positions in the Siberia region before July 7.

Under such circumstances, the United States had no choice but to compromise on several clauses in the "limited troop deployment" plan, abandoning proposals such as the upper limit on the number of troops, and only repeatedly demanded that Japan not continue to advance northward.

On August 8, the Japanese Army, in coordination with the Navy, landed and occupied the port of Vladivostok; on the 12th of the same month, General Graves of the U.S. Army also arrived at the destination with all his troops.

The battle on the front line was in full swing, but Jiang Cheng was not idle in the rear.

While the mechanized equipment brigade was being replenished, he moved all the Korean expatriates in Yanji, Helong and Tumen to Dunhua.

As a result, the living space of Japanese expatriates in the city was further compressed.

The conditions Jiang Cheng offered to the Koreans were far better than those he offered to the Japanese:
Not only were the houses more spacious, but the fields outside the city were also allocated for military settlements; moreover, the children of overseas Chinese could attend schools opened in Dunhua and receive the same "clothing education" as the civilians in Jilin; if they were sick, there were also charity homes for medical treatment, etc.
