The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 156: Japs? Japs again

Jiang Cheng held the wine glass and stared at the man with a sad face without saying a word.

The scene became dead silent again. Lu Haowen bravely raised his eyes halfway and carefully glanced at the young officer.

However, as soon as my eyes met his, I found that he was holding a wine glass in one hand and playing with a dark pistol in the other.

The man's body immediately trembled violently, and he fell to the ground sideways, while the woman tied to him screamed, "Dad, Dad?"

"This military lord! I am the one who caused all this..."

He burst into tears immediately, "I went out with my mother, and the Japanese kidnapped me - they said that if Dad didn't obey, they would ruin my reputation and send me to the Japanese bathhouse!"

He was handsome, but his pale face looked tearful and pitiful.

This should be Lu Haowen’s daughter Caixia, who got engaged to Cai Yuanzong two years ago.

"Xia'er! Don't..."

Seeing the cold-faced young officer suddenly turn his gaze towards her, Mrs. Lu also became anxious. She thought he was one of those soldiers who robbed women, and hurriedly turned around to block her.

"President Lu, why did the Japanese suddenly kidnap your daughter? There must be some hidden story behind this, right?"

Jiang Cheng put the wine glass on the table with a snap, his expression became even colder, "This Sanpu, if I remember correctly, should be the commander of the railway protection army of the Mantetsu, right?"

"I don't believe there is nothing wrong with kidnapping your daughter all of a sudden."

Seeing his expression becoming more hesitant and entangled, Jiang Cheng sneered: "I advise President Lu to tell you everything, otherwise I, Jiang Feilan, will do the same thing as the Japanese!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the barracks behind him was opened with a bang, and Cai Yuanzong appeared in front of everyone with a cold face.

"Feilan, let me handle this matter."

The leader's voice was colder than ever before.

…………

"So, your brother got Caixia pregnant before?"

Jiang Cheng flipped the roasted sweet potatoes in the oven with a charcoal tongs, and said with a playful expression, "Your brother is quite capable - but what I wonder is, why hasn't he finished his job yet, now that his daughter is pregnant?"

Unlike modern times when people’s minds are relatively open, getting pregnant before marriage is definitely not a glorious thing, and getting married immediately is the choice of almost everyone.

So there is a saying here, which goes "the rice has been cooked".

"Yes, my brother has never figured it out either... Logically speaking, the two families have promised the marriage, and they have always been doing well."

"But I think that after this Mr. Lu became the president, he felt that our Cai family was not rich enough."

Jiang Cheng shook his head: "If it's really because of money, then your father robbed Duan Zhigui's stuff, and the Lu family should have wanted to marry their daughter off... Now it seems that this is not the case."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yuanzong returned to the barracks with a gloomy face and squatted beside the two of them.

He snatched the lighter from Jiang Cheng's hand, pinched a piece of red charcoal and lit a cigarette, puffing away with a sound.

Jiang Cheng tilted his head to look at him: he didn't look like he was craving for cigarettes at all, but was just using the cigarette to vent his anger.

"Brother, this is not like you. It's just a woman. Why would you be reluctant to give her up?"

Cai Yuanming looked at him with disdain, "If you really softened your heart because of Caixia, then it would be really boring!"

Jiang Cheng hit his calf twice with his foot, then pulled Cai Yuanzong to sit down: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"He wants to get close to the Rong family!"

Cai Yuanzong suddenly threw the cigarette on the ground, "It's that damn Rong Baoning... It turns out that the Lu family is so arrogant!" "The news that Rong Baoning died in prison was spread by the Japanese - since the marriage couldn't be completed, he naturally hated me, and now he and Feng Laosan and the Japanese are planning to trick me together!"

"After the matter was accomplished, Feng Delin promised him that Caixia would be Feng Yong's mistress and that she would have to obey his silly nephew as the head of the group..."

Jiang Cheng burst into laughter: "Become Feng Yong's concubine? Haha, one dares to agree, and the other dares to deliver himself to the door!"

"dare you laugh……"

Cai Yuanzong's face darkened. "He said that Sanpu was the commander of the nearby Manchurian Railway Section and was in charge of the Kwantung Army that protected the railway from Jinzhou to the provincial capital Fengtian."

"Right now, Sanpu and Feng Delin are mixed together, is it good for us?"

Jiang Cheng smiled: "Okay, I think I understand... It's not because a woman gets so angry that it's fine."

Seeing that Cai Yuanzong's face darkened even more, he became more serious. "He can even think of such a trick and he has extended his hand all the way to Daping Village. He thinks too highly of our Second Regiment."

"But in other words, Old Feng must have run out of tricks to do... As a military supervisor, he is bound to be no match for the more powerful general."

"The Lu family wants the territory, and the Feng family should be interested in our troops and equipment. As for the Japanese, I think it's because the Mongols and the Zongli Party are unreliable, so they are planning to support Old Feng as their agent, right?"

Things have come to this point and are no longer a simple dispute over territorial disputes or personal grudges.

Unlike the Marshal, this gentleman cooperated with the devils, but he used them to gain benefits;

He was principledly wary of the private plots in the Northeast;

But Feng Delin is different.

His thirst for power had clearly reached an outrageous level.

In order to fight for power and profit right now, I'm afraid he will agree to any conditions.

You know, in order to plunder the resources of Northeast China, Xiaozi established the South Manchuria Railway Company as early as 1907.

Then, they continued to send out exploration teams to survey the area and collect a large amount of resource data in the Northeast.

This bunch of bastards also infiltrated large and small mining areas by "granting loans" and "providing technical assistance".

Since Zhang Dashuai established his foothold in Fengtian, he has been gradually regaining control of these mining industries...

Later, when the Northeast was completely under control, a decree was issued prohibiting any foreigners from operating coal mines, iron mines, etc. in the Northeast.

Jiang Cheng knew very well what the Japanese were trying to do now.

Once the cooperation between the two is successful, it will be equivalent to releasing the evil devils on this evil iron line to come out and suck blood.

Then, it’s not far from the Blood and Tears Factory, the Death Mine and other places where you can plunder resources.

Internal fighting is internal fighting, but you working in cahoots with the Japanese to betray your own people is violating my biggest taboo.

"Feilan?"

Seeing his brothers staring at the fire with their eyes like burning ice, even Cai Yuanming, who was always laughing, stopped smiling.

"Brother, I think... you still have to marry this wife."

Jiang Cheng's words seemed to be directed to Na Huo, "We have to control the Chamber of Commerce through this Lu, and also paralyze Feng Lao San to lure the snake out of its hole!"

Cai Yuanzong nodded: "That's what I meant, too."
