The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Haha, this woman is quite suspicious.
But I really underestimated her. She actually went to Zhang Tinglan to inquire for "intelligence".

Unfortunately, although this kind of thought exists, it is really not much and is rather crude.

Jiang Cheng smiled awkwardly, then shook his head and said, "What's the point of this?"

"Just let her go back and stay in peace. I'm busy with the war every day, so I don't have time to have a private relationship with her children."

Zhang Tinglan obviously wanted to say something else, but Jiang Cheng raised his head again, his expression more serious than before: "Brother, you know what's going on behind her... The assassination was tricked by the devils."

"They think that I, Jiang Cheng, am a womanizing scoundrel who can resort to such tactics."

He lowered his eyes slightly, and his tone softened a little, "Now, the devil behind her, Minamoto Yoshimasa, has escaped... Northeast China is so big, if he doesn't show up, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find such a formally trained Japanese officer."

Zhang Tinglan looked back at him: "Now the White Russians have successfully captured Jinan City under the banner of Duan Zhigui. What are you going to do with this woman?"

"From what I can see, it seems that she doesn't have a good relationship with her father."

Jiang Cheng had a feeling that this girl's mentality changed when her father planned to "give her away" repeatedly.

Even in front of her deceased wife's grave, after being instigated by the Japanese devils, she still retained some kindness.

"The drama in Shandong has just begun, this woman cannot be touched."

Jiang Cheng sat down behind his desk. "If she doesn't cause any trouble, there's no need to say anything more to her. I'll also have Yanni pass on the message. As long as she behaves herself and doesn't cause any trouble, I'll ensure that she lives in peace for the rest of her life."

Therefore, I have done my best.

…………

That night, the reinforcement troops sent by Rehe set out from Shanhaiguan and entered Luanzhou, heading south along the route straight to Jinan.

The next morning, Machino Takema took the South Manchuria Railway from Changchun to Jinzhou and headed straight for Sun Liechen's residence.

Upon hearing that his Japanese consultant had arrived, Jiang Cheng grabbed the coat hanging by the door, changed into it, and went out to greet him personally.

"Mr. Machino! Haha, thank you for your hard work... It's such a small matter, but you still have to trouble me to come here in person, haha."

Even though Machino Takema is now well-fed, Jiang Cheng has always been polite to him.

After all, the money-hungry devils are the easiest to exploit.

"General Jiang, you are so polite."

Machino Takema came up to him with a flattering smile on his face, and shook his sponsor's hand vigorously. "The weather is getting colder, and you still came to greet me in person. You are so approachable, it really makes me feel terrified!"

Hearing him speak so politely, Jiang Cheng naturally wanted to exchange a few words of greeting -

But even Machino Takema himself knew how much sincerity was contained in each of these words.

The three of them just said polite words and stood side by side making a "please" gesture as they went towards the office.

But before they entered, Jiang Cheng, at Feng Qing's reminder, noticed Duan Xinyu sneaking over here from the distance in the corridor.

He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Mr. Machino, please come in," and then he walked in through the curtain as the guard lifted it.

Jiang Cheng asked his men to bring exquisite tea and snacks, but he did not rush to speak. Instead, he took the teacup and drank Biluochun slowly. Unlike the three people who were talking nonsense just now, they all became quiet after entering the room...

Even though the two charcoal basins were burning fiercely, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and cold.

"General Jiang, I think you should stop keeping me in suspense. You are so anxious to summon me from Changchun. Is it because of the war in Jinan Prefecture?"

After drinking two cups of tea in a row, the old guy finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Putting the teacup back far away with a snap, he frowned and asked softly, "I heard that whether it is your White Russian regiment's frontal offensive or the subsequent battlefield cleanup, reinforcements will follow up,"

"Through this series of actions, you have achieved your goals and gained substantial benefits—"

"Are you trying to take back the entire Shandong region from our Great Japanese Empire?"

If you insist on saying so, it's not impossible...

Jiang Cheng brought the cup close to his lips and continued to sip the tea carefully with his brows lowered.

Unexpectedly, this Japanese guy who always likes to beat around the bush actually made such a straightforward statement this time.

It can be seen that the situation in Jinan Prefecture... and its surrounding areas did not attract the attention of the Beiyang government, but instead made the Japanese garrisons in coastal cities such as Qingdao nervous.

and,

Jiang Cheng slowly put down the teacup and looked at Machino Takema's face without looking away.

Although he tried again and again to suppress his mind and control the changes in his facial expression, Jiang Cheng still saw that Machino Takema was in a stalemate.

The Japanese had finally driven the Germans out of Qingdao and seized so many benefits... Now someone from the Northeast has come, and it's one of their mortal enemies, the Russians;
Adding the subsequent reinforcements from Rehe, how could they accommodate them?
"Oh, my dear advisor, your information is synchronized with my forward command post, right?"

Under Jiang Cheng's gaze, the other party avoided his gaze; so he leaned back heavily, making a lazy and carefree expression.
"And you, who are in Changchun, Jilin, have received exactly the same news as I did in Jinzhou. Tsk tsk, what should I, a general on the front line, think of this?"

Machino Takema froze instantly.

How to answer this?
All his information was provided by some insiders of the Special High Section...

And these people have already spread and infiltrated the entire Northeast.

Even some Northeastern military officers who were not Japanese became important members of their intelligence agencies.

"I... I heard about this from Kikuchi-kun, I didn't, ahem!"

Seeing him talking nonsense in embarrassment, Jiang Cheng interrupted him with a laugh and continued, "Well, I just said it casually - but I do know that the Japanese will not feel at ease after seeing our army send troops to Shandong."

"We Chinese have an old saying: How can you allow others to sleep peacefully beside your bed? I think Mr. Machino must be troubled by this, right?"

After saying this, Jiang Cheng deliberately coughed heavily and faced the other party's stunned gaze.

In a flash, Machino Takema shook his head, laughed, clapped his hands, and said softly: "Haha - General Jiang is really a young hero, so smart!"

"That's true. Now the country is putting pressure on us. People think that the Northeast is attacking Shandong under the banner of Duan Zhigui, and they want to compete with the empire for territory, so..."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "So, the confrontation and quarrels in Japan have already begun, right?" (End of this chapter)
