The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Sun Liechen was so excited that he was speechless: he had followed Lao Duan and Xiao Xu to the south before. Although his troops had good combat effectiveness, the Fengtian Army was short of money in the treasury. Only those who had some decent equipment were the direct subordinates of General Feng Houyu.

He had not been allocated any equipment, and had been worried recently about not having the right equipment at hand. Now Jiang Cheng was willing to transfer so many elite equipment to him. This, this simply solved his urgent problem!

"Feilan, you—"

Sun Liechen picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "Hey, I, what do you want me to say? Ahem..."

He was so excited that he started coughing violently again. It took him a long time to calm down and he said, "Hey, Marshal Yu asked me to be the garrison commander of Jinzhou. The time is really tight. I haven't made any preparations at all."

"To put it bluntly, some of my brothers can't even get a gun, and you—you're helping Uncle Six solve a big problem!"

Yang Yuting, who had been silent the whole time, slowly turned his gaze to Jiang Cheng, and a very playful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Jiang Cheng may or may not know about these situations...but it doesn't matter.

The eyes of the Fengtian Army Chief of Staff began to deepen little by little: Sun Liechen should be recaptured by him as a matter of course.

After all, among the provinces outside the Great Wall, Jilin is the richest!

In addition to the opened seaport, a large amount of goods can be shipped out and sold, and then exchanged for weapons and equipment. What he has now is actually just a small investment.

It's worth it, a few pieces of equipment in exchange for Sun Liechen's loyalty.

Jiang Cheng's idea was similar to Yang Yuting's guess:

Bribing Sun Liechen meant that he had taken Jinzhou into his own hands... This place was an important town on the South Manchuria Railway, and an important stronghold connecting Rehe, Fengtian and the interior of the country. Taking control of Jinzhou meant controlling the hub of entry and exit in his own hands!
Jiang Feilan...are you really planning to compete with your boss for the world?
At this time, he and Sun Liechen were becoming happier and happier as they talked, and he soon asked Ye Hai to go to Zhang's mansion to get some wine, and then asked them to go outside the city to hunt some game to go with the wine.

It was already very late at this time, and the women were feeling a little tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

The men began to drink and eat meat. Looking at the solemn and prosperous Western-style buildings, it was no different from a happy place for barbecue and drinking in the wild.

After talking about beating the Japanese and driving them out of Jinzhou, Sun Liechen turned the topic to the position of Jilin Governor.

Jiang Cheng knew that Sun Liechen was even more shameless than these brothers, and he was really grateful for what he had received.

So he started to talk about how Zhang Jinghui had colluded with the Japanese to plot against him, how Duan Zhigui had also done something secretly, and so on, picking out the most important things and exaggerating them to the extreme to complain to him.

Sun Liechen immediately said that these people were really shameless, fighting for power and profit to such an extent... It would be better to be more direct and just destroy that Duan guy.

Guo Maochen quickly interjected, saying that if they killed this guy, it would definitely bring big trouble to the Northeast.

Feng Guozhang threw Duan Zhigui outside the Great Wall in order to let him muddy the waters, and then he could use the excuse that the governor appointed by the capital had been killed to carry out military intervention in the Northeast.

And the trouble behind this was most likely caused by the Japanese devils.

Jiang Cheng also nodded repeatedly, repeatedly stating that he must not be fooled - not only must he treat Duan Zhigui well, but he must also escort him and his daughter all the way to Fengtian.

As long as we hand it over to Master Shuai, this extremely shrewd master of ours will definitely make Mr. Duan give up.

Zhang Hanqing replied with a smile, saying that even if our commander-in-chief couldn't get him to leave, he could just be taken to Jilin Prefecture and fed and well fed, and given the title of military commander and advisor - and asked questions when he had time. Several people laughed at his witty words, even Liu Runchuan, who was always serious, was the son of our commander-in-chief, and his brain was active, and he could come up with such witty remarks immediately.

In fact, in the current situation, Jiang Cheng doesn't care about Duan Zhigui at all, whether he goes to Jilin to take office or not.

If the capital wants to muddy the water, they can't let the water become muddy and dirty on its own... Instead, they can use Duan Zhigui to muddy the water in the capital.

After all, if you come, I must go back. This time, Feng Guozhang came up with this vicious plan, so they just drove him away. No one knows what tricks the Zhi army will play next time.

However, Jiang Cheng didn't know at the moment that this decision would bring him into a... rather unusual storm.

After a day of rest, the guard brigade handed over part of its equipment to Sun Liechen's troops. The entire army, led by Li Shitou, marched towards Jilin in a mighty manner.

Jiang Cheng and his group, on the other hand, took a special train back to Fengtian.

Before arriving at Fengtian, Jiang Cheng received a secret telegram from Matsushita Hideki - the content of which was roughly that the captain of the attack on Jinzhou had been reported by his superiors in the General Staff Headquarters, and even their Japanese emperor knew about it.

Jiang Cheng held the telegram and laughed coldly: If the Japanese emperor knows, he will definitely deal with it...

It would have been fine if we had won the battle of Jinzhou, but now we have been defeated, and it was a defeat with heavy losses: not only did we lose soldiers and generals, but the equipment that was sent to the front line was not taken away in time, and all was taken back by the troops that were killed.

For the rapidly impoverished imperialism of Japan, the death and loss of equipment are enough to make their mentally ill emperor furious.

It will definitely be dealt with. As for how it will be dealt with, it depends on the next report from the Japanese.

His thoughts had already returned to Jilin, especially the seaport of Hunchun - he had already thought about expanding the port and taking advantage of the opportunity before the Paris Peace Conference to get more military surplus and equipment from Europe.

While I was drawing up the development blueprint in my mind, the special train had already arrived in Fengtian.

They brought Duan Zhigui and his daughter to see the commander. The old fox was extremely polite to him, welcoming him and giving him gold, silver and other valuable things.

Duan Zhigui had the illusion that the actual ruler of the Northeast was really supporting him to take power!
Is this old fool really getting carried away?
While the two of them were chatting, Jiang Cheng and his colleagues from this trip to Jinzhou sat on the sofa.

Yang Yuting returned to his General Staff Headquarters. Official duties must have piled up in the past few days, and he had to go back to deal with them.

Except for Yu Fengzhi, the women were all resting in the Marshal's residence... At this moment, they all turned their eyes to Jiang Cheng with sympathy, surprise, or a little weirdness.

What the fuck are you all looking at me for!

Your meaning is quite clear, sir. Just give him some benefits and ask him to go back to your capital as soon as possible. Then tell Feng Guozhang that there is no place for him in the Northeast.

Even you, his own son, can't understand what your father means?

Jiang Cheng curled his lips and was about to take out a cigarette with a speechless look on his face, but he heard Duan Zhigui on the other side shamelessly talking about something -

He said that his daughter Xinyu had not yet been engaged and that he wanted to give her to the Marshal's son as a concubine.

Hearing this man's words, Jiang Cheng's face suddenly darkened. (End of this chapter)
