The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 120 Keep Your Distance from the Japs

Jiang Cheng knew that ever since Wu Junsheng led his team to Fengtian to suppress the Mongolian horse bandits, he had an unpleasant encounter with that "Shui Zhiqing".

Now that his son's matter has been added to the mix, he naturally wants to make a big fuss about it.

"I already know the truth, but - we were the ones who made the mistake first!"

Unexpectedly, after listening to this series of statements, Marshal Zhang’s last bit of anger completely disappeared.

"I told you two before that when the list is announced, we will select the best candidates... Look at you two, you have to be so competitive!"

"It would be fine if he just looked at the questions, but the brat took all the top spots. Even if Guo Maochen was a pig, he would know what was going on."

As he spoke, he pointed at his head impatiently, "This is also a lesson! From now on in our Fengtian Army, use your mind to do the right thing - I don't like this trick!"

Having said this, everyone, including Zhao Xishun, nodded and bowed.

"But having said that, this brat really doesn't give me, Old Zhang, face!"

He suddenly changed the subject and looked at Wu Junsheng and said, "Second brother, this Guo devil has come to me for help."

"We originally let him preside over the opening of the military academy because we saw that he had some talent and knowledge. But now it seems that this kid doesn't even take us brothers seriously. We can't give him the position of chief instructor."

Zhang Zuoxiang also quickly echoed, "Marshal Yu is right. This kid has been arrogant because of his talent for a long time. He has only been here for a few days, but he can't get along with the instructors at the Military Academy."

"If I continue to do it for the chief instructor, I'm afraid he will have to ride on my head again."

The Marshal snorted and laughed twice: "Alright! I think what he did today is more or less interesting! Why not just let him be a tactical instructor!"

"By the way, Fei Lan, it's too late to come in these two days. In a few days, I, the handsome man... hehe, will assign you an important task!"

Jiang Cheng half opened his mouth, but before he could figure out what the boss was going to do, Zhao Xi, under his gaze, asked the rest of them to leave.

"Master, what are you doing..."

Without answering him in a hurry, the Marshal first walked slowly to the window sill with his hands clasped behind his back, and watched the desperate people on the obstacle course with his chin half raised.

The room remained silent, and the tense atmosphere in the room made Jiang Cheng hold his breath unconsciously.

"Feilan, Master Shuai has something to ask you, you must answer truthfully."

After a long while, the old man spoke slowly.

"Master, what are you talking about? This brat has always been frank with you, telling you everything he knows!"

Jiang Cheng really couldn't remember for a while what he was bothering himself about.

"Then why did you call Xiaobenzi at night?"

The Marshal suddenly turned around, tilted his head slightly and stared at him coldly, "Also, the second kid from the Rong family suddenly died in prison. How much does it have to do with you?"

died?

I have to say, these little guys are really efficient at doing things...

I finally understood the old man's intention in asking the question.

Although there were no major surprises, Jiang Cheng was still a little surprised by Xiao Ri's efficiency.

Without any emotion on his face, Jiang Cheng sighed, "Oh my god, you didn't believe someone's accusation again and are planning to punish me, right?"

"I am wronged, it is really wronged!"

Marshal Zhang glared at him and said, "You little bastard, you still tell me everything you know! Don't pretend in front of me..." "You are brave, but you are so ruthless."

"I've ordered you to be locked up for half a year, and it's not enough, you still want to kill me!"

Jiang Cheng winked slyly: "Wait a minute - can this matter of waiting in line be blamed on me?"

"Isn't it because he was disrupting order at the entrance of the Military Academy? My hand was the real personal grudge."

Marshal Zhang raised his hand and pointed at his nose repeatedly: "What can I say about you... Oh, you and Xiao Benzi conspired to get rid of that person. If any news really leaks out, will you and the two boys from the Cai family still be alive?"

"Can I protect you in my own home for the rest of my life? You have to keep your distance from Xiao Benzi!"

Hearing this obvious intention of defending him, and seeing that although his words were half true and half false, his fatherly concern was genuine.

Jiang Cheng was touched, but he sighed and said, "Master Shuai, you know I am doing this for the Cai brothers, right?"

"I've told you I know everything, so just confess everything--"

"My eldest brother-in-law was severely beaten by Rong Shihong. He was beaten with 20 military sticks and lost half his life!"

"I'm really angry... But why do I always alarm you, Master? So, hey, you know everything, don't you?"

He simply acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, which made Marshal Zhang shake his head: "Rong Shihong has come to my house, how could I not know? After a careful investigation, I was really shocked!"

"Do you know, kid, that these little guys are not good people... Machino can sell this to me, but he can't sell it to Feng Laosan?"

"Besides, think about the assassin you encountered a few days ago. Do you feel guilty?"

Jiang Cheng put his hands on his hips and smiled: "Let him do whatever he wants. It's fine if Feng Laosan wants to confront me - I didn't say anything in his notebook!"

"As for the assassin, Uncle Hai and I will handle it carefully."

After saying this, Jiang Cheng said seriously: "Master Shuai, don't worry. As I said before, there are internal conflicts among these Japanese. Those who are in contact with Feng Laosan must be in opposition to Machino."

As if reminded by him, Marshal Zhang slowly raised his eyelids and looked back at him silently.

"Now it seems that it is more certain."

The Marshal raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder gently, "Boy...are you willing to follow me and take control of the outside world in the future?"

From the time he entered the door until just now, Jiang Cheng's emotions had always been relatively stable, but when the Marshal suddenly said this, he shuddered unconsciously and suddenly turned his gaze to the future boss outside the Great Wall.

"Master, go through fire and water!"

Unable to hold back his words, Jiang Cheng straightened his body and said, "Since my father and I have followed you, as long as you point your finger, we will charge forward without hesitation!"

After hearing this, Marshal Zhang punched him on the shoulder again: "I knew you were a tough guy!"

"Okay, that's all you need to say - I still say this, there's an important matter for you and Jing Yan..."

"Study hard these few days, and when the opportunity is right, lead the 53rd Brigade to attack me!"

…………

Coming out from the Marshal, the assessment has almost come to an end.

As expected, it was similar to what Jiang Cheng thought. The soldiers of Beidaying should have received instructions from Guo Maochen in advance:

We will be relatively lenient towards teams that have good physical fitness, some good formations and unified command.
