The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 169: Bright fall and dark rise
"I understand what you mean, father."

Jiang Cheng looked around at Cai Yuanzong and the others, especially exchanging glances with the Hai family father and son, before continuing, "With my current strength, if we really fight the Japanese, the ones who will benefit most are Heilongjiang and Jilin."

The Japanese will certainly counterattack on all fronts, and the capital is now getting closer and closer to the Japanese devils:

Borrowing money, buying equipment, hiring Japanese consultants to supervise the construction of factories, etc.

If any war breaks out again, even the people of his own country will not side with him, and will most likely send a telegram to force the Marshal to step down.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng broke out in a cold sweat, and he admired the Marshal's theory that "the world is full of human relationships and worldly wisdom."

Seeing that he understood everything, Jiang Lanxuan showed approval and also cast his eyes on Cai Yuanzong: "Yuanzong and Yuanming fought side by side this time. Their heart to defend their country is obvious to everyone - but it is useless to fight the Japanese head-on."

"War is always going to cost you money. Is it really worth it for Daping Village to fight like this? Even Yu Shuai is temporarily hiding from the limelight."

"Feilan, when you were young, your father told you the story of Han Xin's humiliation under crotch. Even the Marquis of Huaiyin, who later dominated the world, could temporarily tolerate it for the sake of the overall situation. How can you, the future talents of the Northeast, not tolerate it?"

Hai Rusong interrupted, "Brother, what you are talking about is - I think Sanpu will go back and make trouble with the Japanese leader. Then he will attack you from multiple sides, which may be disadvantageous to us."

Hai Pingchuan was furious: "It's really too frustrating! They are the ones who started the trouble, they are the ones who attacked... and we still can't succeed? Do we just have to leave the door wide open and wait for them to slap us in the face?"

Several people were angry, but Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I think this matter is disadvantageous to us, but it may not really turn into a dead end."

Jiang Lanxuan was stunned while holding the teacup, and looked at him with a slightly hesitant look.

"Everyone, think about it carefully. The Japanese are using the name of Japanese business to target us this time, but I don't need to tell you what they really want to do, right?"

Jiang Cheng slammed his right fist into his palm, his eyes sparkling at this moment, "They have been supporting us to fight against the Marshal, but they have all failed one after another - Feng Laosan may not only be the best choice, but also the only choice!"

Jiang Lanxuan stared at his son hesitantly: "What do you mean?"

"I think these little devils have no interest in occupying Daping Village themselves... They just want to use our piece of meat to feed Feng Delin and make him cooperate with them wholeheartedly."

"But in yesterday's battle, even with their personal efforts, Feng Delin still didn't gain any advantage... As long as we give him another push, he will definitely become the third abandoned pawn after Babuzab and the Zongshe Party!"

Jiang Lanxuan's eyes lit up after hearing such a well-reasoned analysis. "There is also a struggle between two factions in Japan. Once Miura realizes that Feng Delin is useless, he will abandon him to protect himself. But will Kikuchi Takeo and Machino Takema let these people go?"

Jiang Cheng smiled: "Master Shuai is so smart, how could he not think of this? Today, he took Feng Delin away, isn't it to tell these little Japanese who has the final say in Feng Province?"

Jiang Lanxuan was somewhat dazed and almost didn't recognize the son in front of her - he had changed so much in the past six months.

"Feilan, let's not waste time, just tell us what we are going to do next!"

Hai Rusong straightened his back and said, "As long as this Japanese leader or Feng Laosan suffers, I will risk my life for Pingchuan!"

The angry brothers present also expressed the same opinion as Hai Rushong.

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Dad, you didn't come to Fengtian alone this time, did you?"

He must have heard about the war in Daping Village, so he must have brought his elite troops to rescue.

Jiang Lanxuan did not comment: "Bringing a group, what do you mean?"

"Dad, Captain Liu has done such a big favor, can we not take responsibility for it?"

Jiang Cheng showed a sly smile on his face, "Should I help him clean up the West Camp?" Because of this conflict, Zhang Yuting, the governor of Fengtian Province, was furious. He ordered Feng Delin to lead his main force to immediately break camp and withdraw from the vicinity of the provincial capital and move to Zhengjiatun, a major military town at the junction of Fengtian Province and Jilin.

The Japanese military and consulate made many negotiations. In order to shut the Japanese up, the Marshal ordered the 2nd Regiment of Dapingzhuang to be downgraded by one grade, incorporated into Wu Junsheng's unit, and temporarily stationed in Dapingzhuang.

However, this decree seemed to be a downgrade in name only and an uplift in reality. On the second day after the main force of Feng Delin's 28th Division withdrew from the vicinity of the provincial capital:

The remaining troops stationed in the Fengtian West Camp were surrounded and disarmed by Jiang Lanxuan's troops.

Commander Yang Hong, who led the army, brought with him the order from Governor Zhang, and ordered that the Xiyingchang be incorporated into the 2nd Battalion of Dapingzhuang. Anyone who disobeyed would be shot on the spot.

Just when the Japanese thought they had given the little governor a good slap in the face, the Japanese merchants who had been "safely protected" out of Dapingzhuang gathered at the Japanese consulate and made trouble.

They said they were escorted to the provincial capital empty-handed, and all their goods, payments and even household items were still in Dapingzhuang.

Okawa Masao asked Jiang Cheng and Zhang Dashuai for the things successively, and the result he got was always "the things were burned when your country attacked the city."

Although all the Japanese knew that most of these things were embezzled by Jiang Cheng and Cai Yuanzong under the pretext of burning, and it would be harder than climbing to the sky to get them back.

The angry Japanese businessmen approached the Marshal's close advisor Machino Takema to make trouble, but this greedy advisor had already reached an agreement with the Fengtian Army in advance.

Not only did he know nothing about anything, but he also complained to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff on the grounds that he was "protecting Japanese businessmen at a disadvantage" and "being unworthy of the trust of His Majesty the Emperor", which became an excuse for attacking the other faction at this time.

Under pressure, the military ordered the Kanto Governor-General's Office to dismiss Kazuya Miura and send him back to his country.

This Japanese officer who thought he had won the battle and was feeling smug and thinking he was going to be promoted was struck by more than a bolt from the blue.
This extremely depressed Japanese soldier shot himself on the ship on his way back home.

Various undercurrents began to flow to the Governor's Office. The capital issued a decree appointing Fengtian Governor Zhang Yuting as the "Inspector of the Three Eastern Provinces" -

There were only two and a half years left before he expelled Jilin Governor Meng Enyuan and unified the areas outside the Great Wall.

…………

"Haha, if you ask me, Fei Lan is Fei Lan. He is not afraid of fighting against the Japanese. He is really a real man!"

On the day when Jiang Chenghai, Pingchuan and Cai Yuanming returned to the Military Academy after their vacation, they were warmly welcomed by all the students of the first class of the Academy, especially Zhang Zhuqing, who put his arm around his shoulders and was beaming with joy.

"That's right. If it were you, I would give that bastard a good beating!"

"It's not just one or two days that we have been bullied by them."

Bao Yulin and Wu Taixun also echoed the voice, and the barracks was filled with a lively atmosphere.

"I think it's time to treat everyone after a long holiday in a few days."

Zhang Hanqing walked in and pushed him with a smile, "Hey, have you grown taller? You're almost as tall as Pingchuan."

I have watched a lot of videos about Northeast China recently: the 731 Exhibition Hall in Heilongjiang, the mass graves throughout Northeast China... Evidence of the brutal crimes of the Japanese devils is all over Northeast China!

How important is a strong and stable country? When the nest is overturned, no egg will be left unbroken. We should not forget the national humiliation and work harder to become stronger.
