The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Seeing the two of them staring at the full map of northern Mongolia in front of them, which was marked with various symbols, filled with infinite shock, Jiang Cheng continued with a smile:
"Industry, all moved north...Except for power stations, steel mills and other heavy industries, all moved to the northern part of Mongolia—"

Jiang Cheng took out a pencil from his jacket pocket and pointed on the map, "As for light industry, Jilin will only keep the part that can meet its own needs, and the rest will be moved to Heilongjiang Province."

"Also, south of the Baikal Free Trade Zone, near Irkutsk, I have already negotiated the renovation of two civilian oil depots to store the oil that will be shipped in later."

"From now until the 31st year, the two major refineries in Kulun must increase their capacity to produce at full capacity. By the middle of September of the 31st year, I want to have enough oil in reserve for the next ten to fifteen years!"

Xu Shuzheng and Yang Yucheng were more and more shocked as they listened. When he stopped speaking, they asked in unison: "What are you planning to do?"

Jiang Cheng thought he could tell the truth to them: "The conflict with the Japanese is getting deeper and deeper. I'm sure these bastards are planning an invasion!"

Seeing that the two people's eyes quickly became meaningful and shocked, Jiang Cheng continued: "That's right - invasion!"

"Think about it, how long have the Japanese been eyeing the Northeast? Not to mention when the Marshal was alive... I am now with my father-in-law to manage the official business in the Northeast, and I can clearly feel the Japanese infiltration."

After the September 18th Incident, there were actually more puppet troops in the Northeast than the Japanese devils, which was enough to show how deeply Japan had infiltrated the original Fengtian Army.

Of course, he will slowly solve this problem later, but the most important thing at the moment must be the issue of industrial relocation.

"Shu Zheng Yu Cheng, this matter will definitely affect hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, as well as the future of the Northeast Army... It's not easy!"

Jiang Cheng stared at the two of them, his eyes sparkling.

"Okay! You'll be right if you trust Master Jiang—"

Xu Shuzheng was a straightforward person, and he immediately said, "The hardest and most difficult days are long gone... Many years ago, Kulun was in ruins and everything was desolate. The conditions were much harsher than they are now."

Yang Yucheng also said: "Yes, let alone developing industry, if it weren't for the food from Jilin, I don't know how many people would have starved to death here."

"Now, not only can everyone have enough to eat, but electricity is available everywhere, and there are so many factories and mines... No matter how difficult it is, is it harder than the land reclamation a few years ago?"

Jiang Cheng was so moved after hearing this that he couldn't help but put his arms around the two of them: "You are really my good brothers!"

"Okay - with what you two said, I'll have the strength to deal with the Japanese in Fengtian."

At this moment, Xu Shuzheng looked at him with something strange in his eyes.

As if he was lowering his head to consider his words, he still found an excuse and sent Yang Yucheng out.

Knowing that he wanted to talk to him about something secret, Jiang Cheng waved his hand and asked Han Ming and Guan Zhiyuan to go out as well.

"Master Jiang, you are borrowing money from the Japanese this time. Are you also planning to deal with them?"

Xu Shuzheng's voice was clear, but his expression was a little worried. "I think you should also know that since the loan matter got out, too many people have scolded you."

"But you mentioned today that such a large-scale layout is to guard against the Japanese. This makes me a little confused."

Jiang Cheng smiled.

Knowing that he would definitely ask about this, I leaned back in my chair and gently tossed him a cigarette.

After the two of them finished smoking the cigarettes in their hands, Jiang Cheng slowly said, "Do you still remember this cigarette?"

After saying that, he raised the cigarette box in his hand - the silhouette was bright red, and it was clearly a tall man fighting.

This is a brand of cigarettes named after him, and Jiang Cheng has been smoking it for many years. "As soon as the news of my loan came out, the cigarette factory was smashed, and some people even ran to the gate to throw feces and urine—"

Jiang Cheng smiled gently, "Many newspapers have called me, Jiang Cheng, a traitor. The old marshal just died... and I also betrayed the Northeast and did such a shameless thing."

Xu Shuzheng took over his words: "There are also people who are talking about launching a new Northern Expedition to get rid of you, the shameless warlord."

Jiang Cheng's face was tense, and he looked back at him dimly, but he asked him in another way: "What does Yucheng think?"

Xu Shuzheng lowered his eyebrows: "Not only Yucheng, Chaoliu, but also Duan Congbin from Vladivostok - there are too many people, they all think that you must have a reason for doing this."

"But I... Hey! Now that I've heard your plan to move north, I feel relieved."

Jiang Cheng smiled again: "Are you completely relieved now? Actually, it doesn't matter. In a few years, everyone in the world..."

As he spoke, he told Xu Shuzheng his intention to embezzle the money... He was so bold that Xu Shuzheng was worried, but also extremely admired him.

"Master Jiang, you are like this, bearing so much infamy yet...Alas!"

But after Xu Shuzheng's worries were dispelled, Jiang Cheng opened up again and asked what he wanted to know: "Yang Yuting came to you, right?"

The other party suddenly became nervous, but he also knew that with this gentleman's spies all over the country, he would not be able to hide it from him even if he lied.

So they told the whole story, saying that the Marshal's death was kept secret until after the incident was resolved.
It was at this time, shortly after Yang Yuting returned to Fengtian, that he secretly came to Kulun to reminisce about the past as classmates and also intended to win him over.

"Master Jiang, you are the one who brought me to where I am today. If I were to think otherwise, would I still be a human being?"

After telling the whole story, Xu Shuzheng immediately stated, "In fact, it's not just me. My wife, children, and these subordinates, which one of them was not promoted by you?"

"I dare not say anything else. Even if Yang Yuting pointed a gun at me, I would not follow him."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have told you about the migration to the north."

"The Japanese have infiltrated the Northeast extensively. Even if we try to hide it, they will know about such a large operation."

His face suddenly darkened, "Since General Yang is so keen on poaching people...you should go to Fengtian."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered a few words in his ear until a smile appeared on Xu Shuzheng's face.

"Also, the most important point is that you must find out what happened between him and Chang Yinhuai."

"What I am most worried about now is the uncertainty in Heilongjiang Province."

It was originally thought that Wu Junsheng would die with the Marshal. With his relationship with Wu Taixun and his close contacts with Ma Zhanshan and others over the years, Heilongjiang Province would be no problem at all.

But Yang Yuting disrupted his rhythm, and with Hai Pingchuan's revenge -

"Youquan is probably in trouble."

Xu Shuzheng suddenly said quietly, "The free trade zone in Manchuria was originally under the jurisdiction of the Chamber of Commerce...but Chang Yinhuai stretched his hand too far."

"In the name of the highest management of Heilongjiang Province, he asked the Chamber of Commerce to submit the trade records for the past year." (End of this chapter)
