The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

In this situation, regardless of whether it was the Zhili Army, the Fengtian Army, or the Anhui Army and other warlords, they would just rob whatever they could.

Take these six planes for example, they were ordered by Old Duan several years ago, and have nothing to do with Cao Saner...

This old guy not only took advantage of the situation by driving Old Duan away, but also planned to default on the Germans' money.
When the Marshal learned about this, he immediately ordered Sun Liechen to go to Langfang to make contact. He was so shameless that he took the pilots with him, took control of the airport and took it away. He even saw that the airport's searchlights were good, so he simply cut the cables and took them away.

Although Fengtian did not lose a penny afterwards and paid the full amount to the Germans, Cao Saner would not let it go after his plane was "openly robbed". He complained to his subordinate Wu Xiucai, saying that Zhang Yuting was a pure bandit who even liked two broken lamps.

Wu Peifu was even more literary and disclosed the incident in major newspapers and periodicals, scolding Zhang Yuting for being a shameless villain and intercepting friendly forces' planes.

"Bullshit, can he afford the plane fare in Beijing now?"

The Marshal's mouth was almost pouted to the ceiling, and his smile was full of contempt. "Last month, Mr. Xu told me that there were financial problems in the capital, and all the banks in the city, big and small, could not cash out."

"The capital has become a poor government office that can't even afford to pay the military salaries. Tsk tsk, if I hadn't given him 300 million silver dollars for free to deal with this matter, it's still unclear whether the imperial court can open its doors now."

The cunning Wu Junsheng immediately echoed, "Master, what you said is true... We also had a financial run in Fengtian before, and it was you who was so wise and brave that you successfully calmed it down! Hehe, these good-for-nothings in the capital, how could they do such a thing!"

Although the flattery was just right, the Marshal did not respond: "This is thanks to the ability of Yongjiang and Feilan - one of them is good at finance, and the other is smart enough to spot the clues. Otherwise, this matter would not have been so easy to get through."

Jiang Cheng quickly waved his hands and said, "This is not my credit. It was clearly Han Qing who discovered it—"

"But, Master, having said that, it seems that the capital has been causing us a lot of trouble. I'm afraid there will be even more trouble in the future! They keep causing trouble for Shandong and Shanhaiguan, aren't they also causing trouble for us?"

"We just helped them chase Old Duan away, right..."

Having said that, everyone actually understands it.

The Zhili and Feng families have gone from cooperation to sharing the same bed but dreaming different dreams, and finally to feuding with each other. If things go any further, I'm afraid they will even start fighting against each other.

Jiang Cheng, who was well-versed in history, knew that soon after the confrontation began, a war would break out between the Zhi and Feng families, and he,
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng clenched his fists lightly. To be honest, he didn't want to be involved in the First Zhi-Feng War at all.

Because he knew very well that after this war in Mobei, Jilin had been seriously injured - a large amount of military funds had been spent on it, and if it followed the Marshal to fight the Zhi-Feng War, it would definitely suffer a major setback.

In addition, although the Fengtian Army now seems to have a large number of strong soldiers and horses, in fact, the generals leading the troops from top to bottom are all from the outlaws, and they will be defeated as soon as they face the Zhi Army... No matter how strong I am, I can't pull these losers, and instead I will waste my time.

But how does he push it?
The Marshal called him here today, clearly intending to discuss this matter. If there was really no need for the Jilin Army to go into battle, there would be no need to call him up from Jilin Prefecture.

While they were daydreaming, the topic of their conversation shifted from the confrontation with the Zhi army to Jin Yunpeng.

This person is one of the cabinet members supported by the Marshal, but because this guy has a soft personality, even as the consul-general, he still has a tragic attitude of being neither soft nor hard and completely avoids the door, and he really cannot help the Fengtian clique to gain benefits.

The Marshal at this time had already begun to think of replacing him and supporting Liang Shiyi to take the position.

But from what they said, it might not be enough for this guy to take the position alone, and a military chief and a financial supervisor must be promoted. For the position of military chief, the Marshal thought of his relative Bao Guiqing, who was once the governor of Heilongjiang Province and now lived in Shandong.
As for the financial supervisor, this old fox actually loudly proposed that Duan Congbin should do it.

what! ?

Jiang Cheng couldn't sit still any longer.

Depend on!
So it was waiting for me here! No wonder I was asked to ask Xiaoyu to come with me to Fengtian. It turned out that he was here to investigate this matter.

This won't do. Duan Congbin was helping him manage the port in Vladivostok in an orderly manner. Now that he suddenly changed people, where could he find such a capable and sensible person who is proficient in Russian, trade, etc.?
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes quickly and said, "Master Shuai, what are you doing? Yuanhe has just established a foothold in Vladivostok, and he is indispensable in everything."

"Besides, he doesn't understand finance. Even if they arranged it, they would send Chief Wang, right? You just said that he helped you solve the bank run in Fengtian. Why did you replace him so quickly?"

After Jiang Cheng said this, the Marshal was not happy: "Damn it, I asked you for something in the past two years... I just gave it to someone, but you got angry and took it away? You can't bear to part with it?"

How dare you bring this up?

Jiang Cheng was a little angry, and his eyes quickly turned to Yu Fengzhi:
From 17 to now, I have been cooperating with my elder sister to invest in stocks in the United States. It has been so long and I have not given you less money.

Even when the oil refinery in the United States wanted to invest, I took the initiative to think of you, an old fox. How dare you not let even one person go?

Jiang Cheng was about to retort, but Duan Xinyu beside him spoke softly: "Master Shuai, if you want a financial supervisor... my father is just the right one."

Everyone turned their eyes in unison. The Marshal did not mind her taking the initiative to speak, but smiled and said with a little curiosity: "Why, little girl, does your father know finance?"

Jiang Chengxin's heart suddenly rose to his throat: Damn! Why are you talking like this at this time?

The old man's question is clearly a trap. No matter how you answer, it will be wrong!
But Duan Xinyu immediately stood up and answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I know! Master Shuai, you should have heard that my father was an official in Anhui who was in charge of the tax and grain there!"

"When Yuan Datou was still alive, he personally commended my father for Anhui's clear accounts and sufficient money and grain."

"Besides, my father has said it again and again at home - saying that you, Master, are a rare hero in the history of the world. There is really no chance. Otherwise, I really want to serve under you!"

After saying this series of words, the Marshal burst into laughter.

Jiang Cheng never expected that this little girl would be so eloquent. She first talked about her father's ability, and then immediately jumped to the point of wanting to work for the Fengtian Army... Wouldn't it be a pity not to use such a person?

However, as the matter was finalized, bad news unexpectedly arrived——

Japan's Combined Fleet suddenly blockaded Japanese waters! (End of this chapter)
