The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Firstly, he did have the intention of revenge; and the reason why he had to kill Jiang Cheng was to prove to all the tobacco dealers, big and small, that whoever dared to mess with him would not be spared.

However, he thought that his revenge was against a "greenhorn" who had just turned 19, but in fact, this kick hit a wall.

Coupled with the fact that Duan Xinyu, the "insider", leaked the information, he was in big trouble this time.

On the third day after Jiang Cheng returned to Fengtian, while a meeting was arranged in the office hall, these tobacco dealers were shot. The main culprit was taken to Jilin Prefecture in a swaggering manner under Jiang Cheng's orders.

"You look unwell, why don't you say anything?"

Sitting on the bed and looking at the woman curled up in the quilt, Jiang Cheng raised his hand and touched her forehead again, "Well, fortunately, the fever has subsided!"

As soon as he retracted his hand, Shuai Ye's fifth wife Shou Yi knocked on the door and came in with a smile: "Oh, it's really Fei Lan, you just know how to care for people!"

Behind her, Zhang Hanqing and his wife followed. When they saw his appearance, they didn't expect their friend to say in a muffled voice: "I heard that you were attacked again? Stand up quickly and let me see if there are any parts missing from your body?"

Clearly seeing his worry, Jiang Cheng looked at Shou Yi and Yu Fengzhi's smiles again, and immediately said unhappily: "Even if I have less, I can't take it off in front of you two ladies!"

Yu Fengzhi laughed out loud, and Shou Yi slapped him with a handkerchief in an angry tone: "You are already a father, but you still speak without restraint!"

"Alright, alright, at least you're okay!"

Yu Fengzhi turned around and glanced at the bed: "Where's Xinyu? Is she okay? Do you want me to find two more doctors to take a look?"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand to thank him, then turned and saw that Zhang Hanqing seemed to have something to say, so he exchanged a few words of greeting and walked out with him.

"Don't you need to wake up? You always go against the Japanese - how many times have you done this? If they succeed one day, who will take care of your family?"

As soon as he left the house, Zhang Hanqing dragged him to another empty room and asked, "I heard that you asked Duan Zhigui to stay in Shandong and talked to Machino about it?"

When did he start paying attention to these military and national affairs?

Glancing at him, Jiang Cheng gave him a sidelong smile: "Look, I'm still alive and well!"

"Besides, I have a big family, including my father-in-law and brothers, so how can I be left alone to take care of them? Hahaha!"

Zhang Hanqing curled his lips and punched him in the chest: "Stop talking nonsense, I heard that even mortars were used this time. A dozen of your guards died in one round of bombardment..."

"Do cannonballs have eyes? If they hit you, your head will be gone!"

Jiang Cheng put his hands on his hips and smiled arrogantly, then turned to a serious tone and said, "Why, are you worried about me, or are you worried that after I die, no one will help Northeast China build tanks and cannons?"

Seeing that the other party's handsome face suddenly showed some displeasure, he turned and gently gave Zhang Hanqing a shoulder and said: "Alright, alright, we are brothers, let's not joke about this anymore--"

After telling him everything that had happened, Jiang Cheng continued, "Shandong is currently unstable... Feng Guozhang and his people know this clearly."

"So, even Wu Peifu, who was the most noisy, had no intention of intervening in the affairs of Jinan Prefecture by force. They regarded Duan Zhigui's dispatch of troops to Shandong as an internal strife of the Anhui clique, but in fact they were waiting for us to fight with the devils in Qingdao."

Zhang Hanqing nodded thoughtfully.

"Feilan, from what you said, my father wants to send more troops to Shandong this time. Is this not possible?"

When he saw Jiang Cheng was about to take out a cigarette, he took out his cigarette box first, "I was not very willing to come here today -"

"He believes that now is the best time to drive out foreign enemies. Since the capital is determined to regain Shandong's rights and interests after the European war, it should work together with our Fengtian Army." Work together?

Such naive words were said by our tactical instructor?

But if you think about it carefully, he has followed Mr. Sun and participated in the Northern Expedition. He has always had the so-called righteousness in his heart, so it is normal for him to misjudge the current situation.

Jiang Cheng took the cigarette handed to him and lit it with a smile.

"Han Qing, do you know how many soldiers and how much money I have now?"

Not knowing why he suddenly brought up this, Zhang Hanqing was stunned but started to joke: "You, Jiang Feilan, have a nickname of the Three Unknown General. You don't know how many soldiers you have, how much money you have, and how much territory you have!"

Jiang Cheng smiled: "It's not about how many women I have... I'll be conservative and tell you, I have as many soldiers and property as your father. I have European tanks and cannons, and I have ships, too."

Seeing his eyes gradually change from meaningful to solemn and awe-inspiring, the Jilin governor continued,

"But given this strength, I dare not rush into the country rashly - because although this may seem strong, once a real fight breaks out, how much military expenditure, material resources and manpower will be consumed, you and I are both very clear."

"Take tanks for example. The battle is all about gasoline consumption and shells and bullets... Right now the French are still willing to cooperate with me, but if I really conquer most of the Central Plains, will they still be willing to sell me things?"

So far, he has not been able to imitate any advanced weapons, let alone surpass them.

"You mean... But the European war is over! According to Mao Chen, all countries will remain stable for a long time in the future."

Seeing a hint of hesitation in his eyes, Jiang Cheng quickly took two puffs of his cigarette and said softly: "It is said that it is a confrontation between countries, but to put it bluntly, it is because of the uneven distribution of spoils due to development;"

"After the war, the balance between countries will inevitably be broken, and the next war is inevitable! Therefore, if we want to seize the initiative in the next war, we must first seek stability."

After World War I, countries were eager to recover and were bound to scramble for territory; among these countries, there was one that was most eager to expand its interests...and that was the United States.

They lent money to Germany, sent various resources to various places, and now they are interfering in Siberia...

Therefore, Jiang Cheng’s next cooperation partner will inevitably gradually turn to the United States.

Gasoline, steel—

The next step was to introduce all kinds of aircraft, cannons, tanks and heavy weapons and imitate them in their entirety.

Before Japan lost its balance and the fanatics in the military provoked an invasion, they had to retain a large amount of equipment and troops and layout for the entire Northeast.

And one of the conditions required for all this is you, the Crown Prince of Northeast China...

Should I "support" you and help you get to the top?

Holding a cigarette with smoke curling between his teeth, Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at his peer beside him, with a look of arrogance and scrutiny.

"what happened?"

As if frightened by his gaze, Zhang Hanqing was startled and subconsciously moved to the outside of the sofa. "What else do you want to say?" (End of this chapter)
