The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 492 Learn from the barbarians and learn skills
Jiang Cheng couldn't hold back and laughed mockingly, "I'm not talking about you, Dad. I'm talking about those old guys in Beijing."

I remember that in modern times, Jiang Cheng watched the movie "My 1919", in which Chen Daoming played the diplomat Gu Weijun, who argued with reason and courage at the Paris Peace Conference.
It is nothing more than taking back the legitimate interests of one's own country.

"Can negotiations without strength stand?"

Before Jiang Cheng could say anything, Zhang Tingshu sneered, "Dad, don't blame me for being too direct... If you want to take back Shandong and other places from the Japanese as a victorious country just by relying on these,

"I think the same as Fei Lan. These old fools are too naive!"

The young people in the office were all amused by him, but Zhang Zuoxiang did not laugh. He still stared at Jiang Cheng with a cold and stern look.

As if asking: Boy, do you really think so?

Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled: "Alright, alright, second brother! Let me think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with what our father said... Our handsome master said a long time ago that the martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom."

"We currently have soldiers, territory, guns, cannons, and tanks - but we still have to do some superficial work."

Whether the capital will appoint him or not is one thing, and whether Duan Zhigui dares to come is another...but the Fengtian Army might not be able to come openly.

I'm not so afraid of his direct clique and Anhui clique, but once it becomes too obvious, even foreigners will find it difficult to cooperate with this weak link.

Although Jilin has developed, schools, power plants, steel mills, etc. have sprung up.

But compared with those great powers that have developed for nearly a hundred years, there is still a considerable distance.

Jiang Cheng understood that if he wanted to achieve full industrialization and seize the advantages in economy, science and technology, and military before World War II, he would have to import foreign materials and learn for a long time...

If we can develop by working in isolation, we will be able to gain a tiny outlet to the sea.

"Dad, isn't Old Sun here too? I'll hand over the work in Hunchun to him and go to Fengtian in half a day. I..."

Unexpectedly, the father-in-law was much more impatient than him. He immediately shook his head and said, "What half a day? Today is the day! You two, quickly exchange opinions on the situation in Hunchun and follow me back to Jilin Prefecture--"

"Han Qing and Mao Chen are waiting for you at home... I say, you little brat, stop glaring at me. How dare you disobey your father's words?"

"Ting Shu won't go with you, let him stay here and watch; Ting Lan will go to Fengtian with you, that's it! Damn it, I finally see that your father is right, sometimes you have to be a little bit stubborn!"

Knowing that he was definitely serious, Jiang Cheng didn't want to reject his kindness, so he shook his head and smiled and said, "How dare I?"
Then he quickly stood up and asked them to call Zhang Xuecheng and Guo Xipeng, and also gathered all the officers above the brigade level at the front line to hold a meeting to arrange defense, etc.

More than two hours later, the group set out on their journey back to Jilin Prefecture... Although Jiang Cheng was a little worried, with Sun Zhengnan and others there, Hunchun's safety could be guaranteed.

The port will also be able to complete all renovation tasks before the coastal port is closed in winter and continue Jilin's foreign trade.

He had to do everything he could to buy more equipment from Europe and America before the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, and to attract more people with lofty ideals to work for him in Jilin with high salaries. Sitting in the back seat of the car, Jiang Cheng looked out the window with a cold look in his eyes. Since September, the autumn harvest of grain has begun, and the temperature has been getting colder day by day. Many crops have been harvested almost completely, and the scene is clearly grim.

"Feilan, don't worry--"

His beloved wife's voice interrupted his thoughts. Her slightly cold and warm little hand gently pressed on his rough and thick palm. "With Brother Hanqing and the others accompanying you this time, nothing serious should happen!"

Jiang Cheng turned around and stared at her charming appearance, then hugged her in his arms: "Don't think too much! In fact, I don't take this matter to heart at all."

Jiang Cheng had no intention of hiding anything from her, and told her everything that was on his mind, and then added, "But I've also thought about it. It's a bit unreasonable not to go and see the commander in person after we mobilized troops to take back Hunchun and caused such a big war."

"Besides, I plan to go to Beijing again to meet the American ambassador."

Previously, all business with the United States, including buying stocks and launching penicillin, was done through Yu Fengzhi or his third brother-in-law Yan Ziwen.

Although penicillin had not been approved in the United States, Yan Ziwen went to the Xietong Foreign Company in Shanghai to sell the drug to Europe.
He still planned to sell his products in the United States. Besides... Jiang Cheng planned to buy more American equipment, even production lines!
"I don't dare to make any big moves now. I also want to make a fortune quietly... Although the foreigners will not give up colonizing and demarcating territory in China just because they actively show goodwill;"

"But if we show ourselves to be too powerful and ambitious, the foreigners will be wary of us, and it will be even more difficult for us to buy some goods!"

Moreover, after the Paris Peace Conference, all countries passed a treaty to embargo arms exports to China, although before the outbreak of World War II, all countries lifted the embargo for some interests;
But the first few years of implementation will inevitably be quite strict. If Jiang Cheng does not prepare early and win over a few close European and American businessmen, it will be difficult for him to buy large quantities of goods during the arms embargo.

"I do not know how to put it."

Zhang Tingxue looked at the faint glow in her husband's eyes and gently threw herself into his solid and warm embrace, "Sister Bi Xin, I'm a fool who knows nothing and I don't know how to help you!"

"But I know that you are the sky of Jilin, and also the sky of us mothers - I have to pull my father and brothers to help you!"

At this point, she couldn't help but hug Jiang Cheng's neck and kissed his cheek, "Feilan, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you so much!"

At this moment, his mind was full of military and national affairs, and such a gentle embrace immediately made his heart move.

Looking up at Han Ming who was driving and Ye Hai who was sitting in the passenger seat, Jiang Cheng pinched her small nose affectionately: "You are such a little kid... Let's go home first, I will accompany you well in the next few days."

They rested in Yanji along the way, bought supplies and refueled the car. Jiang Cheng and his party still rushed towards Jilin Prefecture as fast as possible.

After several months of bandit suppression and management, the situation in Jilin was noticeably more peaceful, and we returned to the capital smoothly along the way.

It was completely dark. Jiang Cheng took out the gold pocket watch that Cao Kun had given him and saw that it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Tingxue beside him had already fallen asleep in his arms, so Jiang Cheng carefully took off his military jacket and covered her with it, then looked out the side window at the street.
