The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 278 Meeting with a Foreigner
Old Duan was also a commander-in-chief, so the foreigners had to think about him.

Collecting the stuff these foreigners have is much more important than things like blind dates and marriages.

The marriage can only guarantee his stability within the Fengtian Army. Having the support of the assistant commander can also guarantee his wealth and prosperity for a long time in the future.

But after going through so many things, what Jiang Cheng wants is more than just wealth and glory?

Warlords are warlords. They rob money, food, and women... They can only share wealth but never adversity.

The future of Northeast China and even the entire China depends only on ourselves.

While he was thinking about these things, Xuecheng kept talking to him: "Hey! What are you thinking about when I'm talking to you?"

After cursing twice, he finally came back to his senses. Jiang Cheng cried out, "What's going on?"

Xuecheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "What else? Are you thinking about my uncle's daughter?"

"I'm asking you, is it safe for us to go to Luanzhou... I heard that things are not peaceful anywhere in the interior of the country recently!"

The pigtail army entered the capital, and Zhang Xun supported the young emperor in his perverse actions and became the emperor again.

Even if Jiang Cheng did not enter Beijing, we know from some historical documents of later generations that although this farce lasted only 12 days... the disturbance it caused was not small.

Except for the old fox Marshal Zhang, all parties and forces could no longer hold back.

The capital city is now full of yellow dragon flags and big braids, and the braid commander has driven Commander Li off the stage.

But as soon as the restoration was announced, people from all over the country began to flock to the city to fight against the rebellion. Feng Delin went to Beijing to seek his death.

"Don't worry, we have Lao Duan in Luanzhou, and Xiao Xu has already arranged everything for us... As I said, let's get settled and then contact the two young ladies."

On the day they arrived in Luanzhou along the road, Yu Shanchang came to greet them in person.

This officer, who was nearly forty years old, had been promoted to a higher rank at this time, and the seven regiments near Luanzhou were all under his command.

But he still showed his greatest enthusiasm towards Jiang Cheng, his friend regardless of age difference.

He first arranged the accompanying personal soldiers, and then took them to the largest red building in Luanzhou.

After a delicious meal, drinking, bathing and smoking opium, Xuecheng was so happy that he forgot about his injuries and had a passionate affair with the two red girls.

Jiang Cheng, Hai Pingchuan and the others were not interested in these things at all, especially Jiang Cheng, who was afraid that he would get sick, so he simply declined Lao Yu's kindness.

But after learning how to have sex, he was in high spirits. Apart from looking for women, he smoked opium and played mahjong. He kept going until late at night and finally checked into the Western Hotel that had been arranged in advance.

Jiang Cheng was already exhausted after the long journey, but he was still calm when he just checked into the hotel and took a look around the surroundings first.

"Pingchuan, bring a squad of people here early tomorrow morning... It's better to be safe than sorry."

Before going back to his room to sleep, Jiang Cheng deliberately gave instructions about this.

He slept until noon. Ye Hai brought in the ironed shirts and suits, while Han Ming had someone prepare meals.

In the foreigners' hotel, the food is naturally sausages, milk, bread and the like; as a visitor from the 21st century, Jiang Cheng is not unfamiliar with these imported goods.

"Feilan, I've inquired. Old Duan is not in Luanzhou now. He has gone to Tianjin."

Sun Zhengnan came in and reported, "Zhang Xun acted perversely and drove Li out of office. Then Duan published a manifesto in Tianjin to attack him, and the whole country has received the message."

So fast?
Although he was very clear about this history, Jiang Cheng never thought that they would catch up with the "good show" as soon as they entered the pass.

Old Duan's anti-rebel army won victory after victory, and within a few days they invaded the capital.
Under the two-pronged attack of the anti-rebel army, some raised the white flag to surrender, while others cut off their braids and threw away their guns to escape. At this time, discarded braids were everywhere on the streets of the capital.

As for Feng Delin, he was detained by Feng Huafu as soon as he entered the capital...

He wanted to escape, but was told, "Haha, this braided general was hired by Old Duan to drive Commander Li out of office... and now he has betrayed him again."

Jiang Cheng smiled calmly.

He was not interested in this farce. Now he just wanted to meet a few foreigners around Lao Duan in Luanzhou as soon as possible.

"Where's Yucheng?"

Hearing his boss' question, he quickly replied, "He left early in the morning... He said a classmate had contacted him, so you don't need to worry about the company's affairs."

I know that Yang Yucheng has always been sensible in doing things, and although he is not good at using force, no one can match him in terms of literature.

"Oh, this guy, his movements are so fast."

Jiang Cheng pretended to smile and said, "Okay, since Yucheng is taking care of the foreign company's affairs, let's make an appointment with the two ladies."

…………

In fact, Zhang Zuoxiang already knew it when they passed through Luanzhou.

First, she scolded the brat for being so cunning, but he still contacted her own daughter.

It was the summer vacation at Yenching University and there was war in the capital, so Zhang Tingxue was invited by Cao Shiying to live in the Cao Mansion in Tianjin.

However, when they heard that the meeting place was changed from the capital to Luanzhou, the two young ladies immediately became unhappy.

"Really? How can you play this trick on me? You want two girls like us to go after them?"

Zhang Tingxue complained a few words, but she had to listen to her father's words, so she obediently conveyed his words to Cao Shiying.

Miss Cao, on the contrary, was quite happy: ever since Old Duan and Feng Huafu had a quarrel, she hadn't traveled far for some time.

When he heard that he could go to Luanzhou for fun, he was so happy that he called the maids and started packing.

The Cao family attached much more importance to this marriage than Zhang Zuoxiang, and was willing to respond to any requests for change.

Guards were immediately arranged to take the two young ladies to Luanzhou. However, before departure, Marshal Wu Peifu raised objections, saying that after all, that place was Duan's territory and it was too dangerous to go there.

But the last time the Fengtian Army entered the pass to steal those 4000 million worth of equipment, it left a psychological trauma on Cao Saner.

He was obsessed with winning over the blind bears and prairie wolves outside the Great Wall, so how could he listen to any opposing opinions?

Unlike the Marshal who "will give you everything except his wife", now if he can really bring all the Fengtian Army into the pass to help him fight for power, let alone a wife... he can even give you all the women in his family.

Wu Peifu was so angry that he was fuming, but this handsome general had always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he did not disobey his superior.

Under the protection of a large group of people, the two young ladies went to Luanzhou.

At this time, Jiang Cheng was in heated talks with several French businessmen led by Yang Yucheng.

Jiang Cheng knew that as an old capitalist country in Europe, France participated in both world wars.

Especially during World War I, the French almost threw all their national strength into the war in order to avenge the shame of the Franco-Prussian War and make a comeback in Europe.

Therefore, during the entire World War I, the French military equipment level and combat strength were definitely world-class.

When Britain's big iron "tank" made its first appearance on the battlefield and inflicted heavy damage on Germany, the French were also stunned.

Can weapons be used like this? Can wars be fought like this?
We... also want to build tanks!
