The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 320 Communication
On the day after signing the contract with the Americans, Jiang Cheng boarded a bus to Beijing.

With the experience from the last time, they met the British and French consuls much more smoothly... Unexpectedly, they also met the Czechs through the French consul.

You should know that Belgium also had colonies, and during World War I and World War II, Czechoslovakia was still a military power, especially the Sudetenland, which was known as the "Arsenal of Europe" -

Later, the little mustache wanted to annex this place because of this advantage.

If this line is drawn, as long as Jiang Cheng has a steady supply of money, he will have a steady supply of new weapons.

Originally, Zhang Tingxue planned to use the "old method" to negotiate with these arms dealers, but he didn't expect that the Czechs were more honest than Hai Pingchuan. When they heard that they were buying weapons, they immediately planned to sell all their "excess production capacity" to them.

At this time, Italy turned against the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the European battlefield, stabbed it in the back and made it unable to get up.

Germany is now being attacked by Britain and France, especially the ferocious Russians, who are fighting wildly on the Eastern Front, and people's heads are almost beaten into dog heads.

He is now taking advantage of the late stage of the arms race among countries. He can accomplish great things by spending some money, so why not do it?

The next few business deals were very successful. Many countries took advantage of this young master's generosity and the willingness to settle payments in gold to promote their products to them.

Rifles and pistols were nothing, they also planned to sell him cannons of various calibers.

This made Jiang Cheng feel that the price he had signed with the Americans was a bit too high... He couldn't settle the bill based on the price;
After World War I, the United States rose rapidly through arms trade... If he could establish a relationship with the Americans, he would be able to develop his own territory quickly.

The business talks were very successful, but it seemed that there was a lot of tension on the part of the capital.

Especially when the news of Lu Jianzhang's death in the military headquarters in Tianjin reached the capital, Jiang Cheng clearly felt that the vortex of power struggle in the entire city suddenly became turbulent.

Military and police were rampant in the streets. Jiang Cheng then realized that Feng Huafu had actually approved Lao Duan's resignation. The military governor's meeting in Tianjin had also ended. Cao Kun united with many warlords and jointly sent a telegram to the capital to issue an order to attack the southwest.

"It's true what the handsome man said. The water inside the pass is deep and muddy."

In fact, Jiang Cheng was also very clear that there were some warlords fighting to the death in the wars in the Republic of China, but there were not many battles that were fought to the death.

But at this moment, Old Duan and Little Xu were clearly risking their lives, and shot Lu Jianzhang dead with one shot...

If the person behind them wasn't Marshal Zhang, whom Old Duan wanted to win over, I'm afraid the three of them would have been killed that night.

Everything has been done, so the most important thing is to return to Siping as soon as possible.

After returning to Tianjin again, Jiang Cheng planned to ask Shanghai Pingchuan to go back to Siping together.

In fact, even if he didn't know this history, he could tell from the Marshal's current performance that the old fox was clearly leaning towards Cao Kun's side.

But he didn't want to have any contact with Cao Saner at all.

When he was trying to get that batch of equipment, he had fooled the Zhi army and escaped from Wu Peifu, who was known as the "Jade Marshal";

When he was in Shanhaiguan, he left slogans to tease him... How could he not meet Cao Kun when dealing with him?

Moreover, after they kill Old Duan, they will inevitably be in opposition to Cao Kun, and Mr. Wu will become their mortal enemy!
But there’s an old saying: Enemies often meet on a narrow road.

On the second day after Jiang Cheng arrived in Tianjin, Cao Kun, who had just finished the military governor's meeting, sent a message to Jiang Cheng, inviting him to the largest International Conference Hall in Tianjin.

The scene was extremely grand. He, a young officer of the Fengtian Army, came to the appointment in a formal dress with his beautiful wife.

I thought I would just show up, but as soon as I got off the car, I faced Wu Peifu.

This man had a heroic look on his face, and his figure was the unique "big man" image of Shandong people. He looked up at Jiang Cheng, and in an instant his tiger eyes widened, and his two thick eyebrows were almost raised to the sky.

"Jiang Feilan."

The man raised his chin slightly, and smiled an unclear smile. "I heard that the governor of Siping is a young boy under 20 years old. Seeing him today... he is indeed extraordinary!"

Although he could clearly tell that the other party was not praising him, Jiang Cheng still put on a sweet smile: "I am in the bitter cold land outside the Great Wall, and I have also heard that Master Cao's Jade Marshal is very capable."

"You forced Yuan Datou to go south to deal with that matter. I really admire you!"

This guy is about to go south to attack Xiangyang, all the way from Hankou to Xiaogan, and will soon occupy Changsha...

It’s a pity that all this was to help Zhang Jingyao and Xu Shuzheng.

Glancing at him coldly again, Jiang Cheng really didn't feel like arguing with this bad-tempered guy. He turned around, pulled Zhang Tingxue up, said "excuse me", and went straight to the hall.

The reason why he showed up on this occasion today was just a courtesy. The situation in the Northeast was not peaceful at the moment. There were still the aggressive Meng Enyuan and the Japanese invaders in the North.

In addition, the October Revolution broke out in Russia, and Jiang Cheng was now thinking about returning to Siping to deal with the General with the Hairpin.

Once he has completely taken control of Jilin, he will have more capital.

So he watched the entire banquet with Zhang Tingxue, and did not actively interact with anyone;
On the other hand, the protagonist of this scene, his good brother Pingchuan, is in an even more awkward situation.

This kid has always been a straightforward person. He's good at charging into battle, but in situations like this, all he can do is smile.

Come on, bro, I won't help you anymore.

Of course, there is another purpose for coming here today, which is to accompany this new son-in-law.

"You are just standing here making fun of your brother!"

Zhang Tingxue pulled him up and went over there.

Just as they were socializing, inside the Marshal's Northeast Army Headquarters, the real master was losing his temper.

In the large office of the headquarters, except for Wu Junsheng, Yang Yuting, Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuoxiang and other old-school confidants who were going to Zhengjiatun to take up their posts, all of them stood straight like stakes.

"If I let Xu Shuzheng take over for a few more days, are you planning to destroy my headquarters?"

Marshal Zhang sat coldly behind his desk, looking coldly at his increasingly nervous subordinates.

As if seeing Yang Yuting, who was standing at the front, about to speak, he slammed the table hard and then immediately raised his finger and pointed at his nose, "Don't say a word!"

"In the Tianjin meeting, the protagonists are his old Duan and the man surnamed Feng, and at most Cao Saner will be involved!"

"When did I ever agree to go south? Damn it, I've already asked Ji Jinchun to follow him, which is against the interests of our Fengtian Army..."

"I didn't expect that this bastard actually used the banner of our Fengtian Army to shoot and kill Feng Huafu's assistant Lu Jianzhang!"

At this point, he fixed his eyes on Yang Yuting, who was becoming increasingly nervous, and shouted coldly, "Who will be held responsible for this in the end?"
