The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 108 Interference

This scolding undoubtedly came from Marshal Zhang.

In fact, the old man was more unhappy than Zhang Jinghui: his fifth brother came to him today to discuss the matter concerning the 53rd Brigade.

Marshal Zhang is so smart, how could he not know the intrigues involved?
Naturally, it is also clear where Zhang Jinghui's dissatisfaction comes from.

It's simply that he felt that the duck that was about to be in his mouth flew away, and he had no place to vent his anger, so he used the Jiang family as an excuse.

After hearing the reprimand from his boss, Zhang Jinghui naturally didn't dare to do it anymore, but his thieving eyes were still shining, and he tilted his head and stared at Jiang Cheng.

"You little brat, why don't you let go?"

Zhang Dashuai showed a bit of sly pride in his eyes, but his expression was still tense. "What the hell, you came to the government office to cause trouble?"

"Fifth Brother is right, he should be shot!"

In fact, what he said was a double entendre: he was not only criticizing Jiang Feilan, but also insulting Zhang Jinghui's adjutant.

"General Yu, please forgive me. I failed to discipline my subordinates strictly."

Having said that, Zhang Jinghui lowered his head and said, "I'll take him back and teach him a lesson."

The old guy is not stupid either: even if Yu Shuai favors this kid now, it is not a smart move to go head-to-head with that kid Jiang when the Jiang family is at its peak.

Erhu died at his hands, but Wu Datou and Zhang Laoba all chimed in, saying that they were avenging their father-in-law, and that it had always been like this: if you stick your head out, you'll get a knife if you shrink your head...

Zhang Jinghui was much smarter than that tiger-like guy. He immediately showed humility and withdrew with his adjutant who was covered in dust.

"Fifth brother, please walk slowly...we need to find a place to stay the next day, haha!"

After walking a few steps, the old fox immediately stopped smiling, frowned and shouted, "Brat, follow me!"

Jiang Cheng made a face with his tongue out at Xishun who was following closely behind him, and hurriedly jogged off.

The large office was messy yet orderly, with the desks piled with documents, bills, and even newspapers from all over the Northeast.

Seeing that Wu Junsheng and Wang Yongjiang were there, Jiang Cheng quickly saluted and greeted them.

"Hey Feilan, I haven't seen you for a few days and you look so good..."

Wu Junsheng was very polite to him, "I heard from Youquan that you were the first one to hand in the exam, so you must have a sure win, right?"

Those questions are indeed not difficult for me.

However, Jiang Cheng still smiled modestly: "Brother Youquan, you are making fun of me again... How can you say I was the first to hand in the paper?"

"It was my brother Yucheng who was the first one! By the way, I haven't told you about this yet... My brother is a returned overseas student, and he has a lot of knowledge."

"I am full of passion to serve the commander and my hometown, so I applied to our military academy. I have good character and knowledge!"

The Marshal did not respond to him, but sat down behind his desk with a stern face.

After talking with Wang and Wu about official business for a few minutes, he waved his hand and told them to go about their respective duties.

"Master, I,"

Knowing that he must have been asked to come upstairs for something important, Jiang Cheng hurried forward after the two left and said anxiously, "What happened just now..."

"Okay, handsome man, I'm not confused yet!"

He waved his hands unhappily: "I called you today not because of a fight, haha, it can be considered a fight..."

"Hey, what's wrong with this brat? He can even fight with others just for taking the college entrance examination?"

"And you asked Lao Ba to send someone to me - what do you two want to do?"

He was so absorbed in thinking about the Japanese that he actually forgot about Rong Baoning, the big fool.

After all, this guy is the source of the incident. Jiang Cheng quickly explained the whole story to the Marshal, and also told him about the assassin last night.

"Master, Fei Lan feels that this group of bastards is most likely in the same group as the one that happened to Little Simon,"

Seeing him lost in thought, Jiang Cheng carefully considered his words and spoke again, "And I also feel that there is something going on among the Japanese."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Hearing his words, the Marshal leaned back and assumed a more comfortable posture.

"Think about it, sir. After the incident with Little Simon, the Japanese supported Mongolia and the former Qing princes... and used money to disrupt the financial system of our Fengtian Province—"

"But there is still a group of people who support us!"

After saying this, the Marshal looked up at Zhao Xishun with a playful expression and said, "Listen to this kid, he said a lot of things and even fooled me!"

Then he looked over and said with a smile, "Are you talking about my advisors? I heard that Machino is also in contact with you?"

Knowing that he could not hide this, Jiang Cheng simply admitted it immediately: "Let's not lie to him. Many things in the past were sold to us by this Machino."

"Especially the matter between the 53rd Brigade and the 28th Division this time. He told us a lot... I understand what you said before, no matter which group of Japanese people they are, they are unreliable, but what Machino said is still credible."

The Marshal stopped talking.

He lowered his head and folded his hands on his thighs, his thumbs circling and spinning repeatedly...

"Feilan, I understand what you said."

The Marshal looked calm, "But you also know that the strength of our Fengtian Army is still quite limited."

"Even to fight Erlin, one has to use up all his energy! Not to mention that this old Feng is actually colluding with the Japanese."

Jiang Cheng nodded silently, and waited until he finished speaking before stepping forward and saying, "Master Shuai, the people in the capital contacted Old Feng to force you to step down. Now let us use a series of moves to get rid of Yilin..."

"I think Jingcheng should be very clear that Old Feng is not a good partner, right?"

When he looked up suddenly, there was a hint of murderous intent in the Marshal's eyes.

"Feilan!"

Zhao Xishun tried to stop him from speaking immediately.

"Xishun, move aside and let this rascal turn out all the intestines in his stomach!"

After hearing this, Jiang Cheng took two steps forward with determination: "Sir, isn't there someone coming from the capital?"

"Old Duan doesn't get along with the new president."

It was clear that his words were based on historical events.

After Li Yuanhong resigned, Feng Guozhang of the Zhili clique took over as acting president...and Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui had never been on good terms.

So he sent his subordinate Xu Shuzheng to the north through Shanhaiguan to meet the Marshal - and their cooperation should begin soon.

"Boy, you mean..."

Jiang Cheng blinked lightly: "Well, boy, I don't know!"

"Hehe, we just know how to follow the handsome man, and then just follow your instructions and take advantage of the Japanese!"

"You should discuss this with Chief of Staff Yang. How can you understand this?"

After saying this, Marshal Zhang, who had been frowning all the time, suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you are so good, Jiang Feilan, you know everything about me!"
