The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 311 Reaching Agreement

The ones who went to attack Zhengjiatun were none other than the fast mobile force led by Bayin and Hai Pingchuan.

Jiang Cheng's tactic is based on time difference!
"By the time the Japanese or someone else realizes what's happening, we'll have already taken Zhengjiatun back!"

As soon as the news of the victory was reported back to Siping, Jiang Cheng immediately called the Marshal in Fengtian.

It was not yet 11 o'clock in the evening, and he knew that Shuai Ye must not have gone to bed yet.

Upon hearing the series of good news, Marshal Zhang's laughter could have broken the microphone, and he kept praising the good boy for his great work.

Based on Jiang Cheng's understanding of this "black-handed warlord", he has now captured Siping and is about to attack Liaoyuan.

Plus, we have to build a factory next, and get those French tanks back from the Japanese...

Now, we should seize the opportunity to give this handsome man some benefits.

Because for now, no matter whether it is the capital or the various forces entrenched in the Northeast, except for old man Meng, Marshal Zhang is the recognized boss.

He didn't want to be the target of public criticism at the beginning of the development, so he immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Master, look, I have taken back Zhengjiatun. Who do you plan to give it to?"

Unexpectedly, the opponent paused for a few seconds, then laughed again: "You little brat, are you waiting for my order?"

"You brought it back, so I'll definitely give it to you!"

Jiang Cheng frowned.

Give it to me? That's so easy to say.

Jiang Cheng turned around and looked at Hai Huixin, who was standing beside him with a beautiful lady, and immediately said in a panic, "Oh my God!"

"Are you dissatisfied with the kid's brain not being big enough or what? Giving me a Siping is not enough - you also gave me Zhengjiatun?"

"Oh my god, I don't have a big stomach. If I force myself to eat it, I might die from it!"

These words sounded like he was begging for mercy, and the Marshal laughed happily again: "Fuck you, you're pretending to be me?"

"But it's true. I still want to keep you to beat up that old man Meng."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's face immediately darkened.

Before the war, he arrested Yu Baozhong and Wang Huaiye from the Chamber of Commerce...

Jiang Cheng had thought about it before the interrogation. These two were definitely not clean. During Du Haisheng's short tenure, they must have done a lot of trouble.

They covered their faces with towels and poured water on them. After a while, they confessed:

Yu Baozhong was Meng Enyuan's man, while Wang Huaiye was completely bribed by the Japanese not long after the Liufangzi Coal Mine was developed.

Before the war, the two men were at loggerheads over the Liufangzi coal mine:
One wanted to take back the operating rights of the coal mine and honor his Jilin boss;

The other wanted to monopolize the coal mines and gain more benefits from the Japanese devils.

In addition, the Feng family was involved... Similar power struggles in Siping became more and more intense, making him deeply understand the saying "the world is full of human relationships and worldly wisdom."

"Master, please rest assured about this matter."

Jiang Cheng replied calmly, "As long as I'm here, old man Meng can forget about it."

After hearing what he said, laughter came from the other end of the phone:
"Brat, I was right about you! Okay, brat, the wedding preparations are almost done, right—"

"Cao San'er has also negotiated with us... After a few rounds of arguments, he still couldn't persuade his own girl, so he finally agreed."

He was talking about the separate marriages between Zhang Tingxue and Cao Shiying: when she married Pingchuan, Jiang Cheng's camp also won over the forces within the Great Wall - and what about the Marshal?

It is said that Cao Kun's youngest daughter remarried the Marshal's youngest son Zhang Xuesi - they seemed to be only seven or eight years old.

The Zhili-Fengtian alliance was clearly a done deal. "Master, I think you should be on the lookout for Xiao Xu these days."

It was clear that the Anhui clique had reached the end of its strength, and Xu Shuzheng was the second-in-command of the Fengtian clique, and their minds were never on the same page.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a while, the Marshal's voice suddenly turned colder: "Boy, have you heard any news?"

Knowing that he would be suspicious, Jiang Cheng added the second half of the sentence calmly: "I didn't say that, but I heard Maochen say it when I was studying abroad."

Realizing that the old man had no intention of interrupting him, Jiang Cheng continued to pretend to be calm and said, "I heard him and Han Qing say that Staff Officer Yang and Xiao Xu are from the same group."

"They are all trained professionals. Unlike the devoted Chao Liu, they have no intention of developing in the Northeast. I'm afraid our Fengtian Army is just a temporary stepping stone for him."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

"Master? Are you listening?"

Jiang Cheng knew very well that he was now making the matter clear to Marshal Zhang through Guo Maochen.

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

At this moment, the Marshal's cold and chilling laughter came from the receiver: "You are such a good Guo Guizi——"

"You actually whispered something in Xiao Liuzi's ear and even set your sights on my General Staff Department!"

It seemed that he hadn't finished speaking when the phone was hung up with a bang.

Two days later, Zhengjiatun was successfully returned to the hands of the Fengtian Army.

Hideki Matsushita, who learned that his lair had been raided, did not seem to take it to heart.

Unlike the seriously dissatisfied Machino, this young officer who had received a rigorous education at the Japanese Army University knew very well:

Even though they were able to station troops in Zhengjiatun, this place was adjacent to Mongolia and there was no direct railway.

Regardless of the education he received at Lu University or the military tactics he knew, this kind of area where one is almost alone in the depths of the enemy's territory is basically impossible to defend.

Moreover, the task assigned to him by the General Staff this time was to seize the Siping Railway Station and thus take back the entire South Manchuria Railway from the military.

Now that the mission has been successfully completed, why bother fighting with those Chinese for a city that is like an isolated island?

Moreover, whenever there is a conflict of interest, there will be casualties, which is not what he wants to see.

Every warrior of the empire is precious.

Besides, if they really want to take Zhengjiatun back in the future, given the empire's strength, wouldn't it be possible to get it whenever they want?

Just when Matsushita was boasting about his achievements to his superiors, the General Staff was actually very dissatisfied with Machino's loss of Zhengjiatun.

However, the entire South Manchuria Railway was almost under the control of Matsushita, so the headquarters no longer pursued Machino's responsibilities.

The Japanese military finally saw the situation in the Northeast clearly.

That little guy Zhang has become a powerful figure. After he blocked Shanhaiguan and took over Rehe, his power became increasingly solid.

Therefore, supporting this little guy to serve the Empire of Japan became their only choice to consolidate their rights and interests in the "Manchuria and Mongolia region".

Moreover, a new round of disputes between the government and the parliament has caused their interference in China to become out of control. Using him as the spokesperson for the Northeast is a foolproof strategy.

Thus, for the first, last, and only time, these two Japanese forces reached a consensus on their attitude towards Marshal Zhang.
