The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Since Jiang Cheng took over the management of Jilin, some Japanese-owned factories in Jilin have been gradually squeezed out and have difficulty in operating;

Most of the Japanese-owned factories in Feng Province were mainly engaged in resource erosion, with almost no light industry.

As for North Korea, which they invaded, the territory is small, mountainous, and has few resources; therefore, there are very few factories opened on the Korean Peninsula...

As a result, all supplies such as cotton clothes, quilts, military equipment, etc. had to be supplied from Japan.

In addition to testing the command capabilities of generals, the combat qualities of the army, etc., there is another important and decisive factor in war... that is, rear-end supplies.

Wars are fought for money, especially after World War I, when the battles were fought for steel, oil, food, and resources in the rear.

The damn Japanese have always relied on war to support war, but at present, apart from its strategic significance, there are almost no useful resources to be found in Vladivostok.

Jiang Cheng knew very well that the Japanese were relying on the United States to keep them going north to Siberia.

Now that World War I has ceased fire, the United States has achieved its goal of delaying Japan's encroachment on Northeast China;
These capitalist countries are after colonies and money, how can they continue to invest just for a crappy life?

Jiang Cheng knew very well that as the Paris Peace Conference ended World War I, the United States not only repeatedly weakened its support for Siberia, but also chose to withdraw its troops across the board in early 1920.

As a result, the Japanese lost support and were attacked from all sides by the Soviet army, so they had to evacuate from Khabarovsk, Baikal and other places.

Although the war in Siberia delayed Japan's control over the Northeast to a certain extent, things were different after they withdrew across the board.

Thinking of this, an idea came to Jiang Cheng's mind:
Americans are becoming less and less supportive of a normal life. Can we give the Japanese a blood transfusion?

If we can hold back the Japanese in Siberia, we can develop Northeast China peacefully.

correct!

We can also contact the Soviet army through people like Vasily... How can we just feed the Japanese?

In addition to making a profit by sending food and strategic materials to both sides, the two sides could also weaken each other by fighting each other.

Whether it is the Japanese army or the Soviet army that will become powerful in the future, they are both great threats to the Northeast... If we use Siberia to delay them for a few more years, Jilin's development prospects will be better.

Looking at the telegram, Jiang Cheng had already figured out the general strategy for the next course of action. At this time, Zhang Tingxue had finished washing and dressing up, and was walking out the door in a radiant manner.

"Hey Feilan, why are you still here? Hurry up, I asked Jingqiu to bring the ironed shirt a long time ago."

His young wife stepped forward, stretched out her arms and put them around his long neck, urging him to change his clothes and go downstairs quickly.

Taking advantage of Shengshi’s birthday, Jiang Cheng also felt that he hadn’t socialized for a long time, so he found an excuse to hold a party and invited some celebrities to come and have a chat.

There weren't many guests at this time, but it was still quite lively because the troupe and the chefs were preparing.

"Master Jiang!"

Jiang Cheng heard someone calling him in the front hall. He looked up and found that it was Liu Yuzhu from Liu's house.

After driving the Japanese away, Liu Yuzhu and his fellow miners took back the coal mine... Jiang Cheng arranged for Wang Junshan and him, one a civil servant and one a military officer, to run Liu's house, and they were doing very well.

"How did you find time to come to Jilin Prefecture? You didn't even write me a letter in advance."

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and shook hands with him. Jiang Cheng was always very polite to his loyal subordinates.

"Isn't winter coming soon? Chief of Staff Sun told me that he wants to transfer a batch of coal to the front line..." After half a year, Liu Yuzhu has gained a lot of weight and his face is much rosier. "Originally, the mine was closed as soon as winter came. Recently, the brothers have been leaving work and going home one after another."

"After the chief of staff told me this, I quickly mobilized the brothers back to the mine and urgently produced another batch of coal."

"Look, we can't neglect the things going to the front line, so hurry up and follow Commander Wang to escort them here."

Unfortunately, Wang Junshan went to Hunchun to deliver coal, but he fell behind due to acclimatization. He happened to catch up with the party in the mansion, so he hurried over.

"I heard it was Shengshi's birthday, so I didn't bring anything nice. I just bought some food in the city and brought a piece of cloth for Trini."

As he spoke, he handed over some gifts and other things, which made Cui Ni blush even more embarrassed.

She had traveled a lot with Ye Hai, but as a woman from a farming family, she was far from being able to act gracefully in such a grand occasion.

At the moment, she was wearing a bright new cheongsam and had her hair combed like a beautiful woman, which made her look very pretty, but she could not hide the panic and discomfort in her eyes.

"Are you still standing there? These are all our masters' people!"

Zhang Tingxue saw it, and walked forward with a smile to guide Cui Ni to accept the gift, and then said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, please sit in the backyard. The mansion has prepared good tea and snacks."

Jiang Cheng nodded and smiled at her, motioning Cui Ni to accompany Liu Yuzhu to the back to greet them; he then took Zhang Tingxue's hand and walked towards the front door, intending to personally welcome his father-in-law in.

My father-in-law had suffered a head injury before and had been recuperating in the villa in Jilin Prefecture. Hearing that the mansion was bustling today, he decided to come over and sit with us.

At this time, the guests who arrived one after another entered the house under the greetings of Hai Huixin and Luo Rong. Jiang Cheng also waited for his father-in-law, and hurriedly helped the old man out of the car with Zhang Tingxue on both sides.

"Hey, can you two stop treating me like a seriously ill patient?"

Behind him was his second son Zhang Tingshu. Seeing his daughter and son-in-law showing such concern, he smiled bitterly and waved his hands, "This kind of heart is better than anything else, but don't treat me like an old loser!"

Jiang Cheng laughed: "It depends on what you said! Okay, if you don't want to help me, then I won't help you--"

Although he said so, he could see that his father-in-law's gait was still a little unsteady, so he quickly winked at Zhang Tingshu and his wife, and accompanied him to the back garden which had been decorated in advance.

"Daddy!"

Just as he was about to follow with his guards, Jiang Cheng heard his son Chengye calling him. He turned around and the fat boy jumped into his arms.

Seeing the two wet nurses following behind him panting with exhaustion and sweat all over their faces, Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled as he picked up his son: "You little brat, you're running around again, aren't you? Watch out for your butt if you bump into something!"

He asked the two nurses again, "Where's Shengshi?" Jiang Chengye in his arms chuckled and said, "He's playing with guns over there! Daddy, look, there's one given to us by our uncle!"

As he said this, he showed a small wooden carved pistol and pointed at Ye Shengshi who was running over - the two boys started fighting again.

"Master Jiang, please don't blame me. Both children are at the age where they love to play. This..."

The wet nurse was afraid that Jiang Cheng would be unhappy and take his anger out on them, so she hurriedly explained tremblingly.

"It's okay, just watch out and don't fall—"

Jiang Cheng stared at the two children playing, but he felt something was a little strange. "Who gave the two children the guns? The appearance of this gun, why..."

As he was asking the question, Jiang Cheng suddenly heard Duan Zhigui's voice coming from the other side of the gate. (End of this chapter)
