The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 340 Dismissal
Sun Zhengnan, the Chief of the General Staff, immediately stood at attention, his riding boots knocking loudly.

Jiang Cheng glanced coldly at his subordinates whose faces were becoming more solemn and dignified, and continued in an aggressive tone: "Guo Xipeng's 132nd Brigade will escort the entire journey... After the 134th Brigade arrives in Liaoyuan, Zhang Fushan will take over Cai Yuanming's position as the leader."

"The order to abolish the position was issued at the same time as the order to hand over the chief officer."

"After Cai Yuanming is dismissed on the spot, he is not allowed to leave the Liaoyuan Brigade Headquarters... I have another position for him!"

Although he said he had other arrangements, in fact, it was almost the same as Yang Yuting's.

Hai Pingchuan basically knew the content of today's meeting, but when he heard the announcement from this superior who was as close as a brother to him, he still showed a trace of pain on his face and glanced at Jiang Cheng with the smallest movement.

"plain."

Seeing his cold gaze coming back at him, Hai Pingchuan immediately straightened his expression and stood up: "Yes!"

Jiang Cheng suddenly sighed, took off his military cap and gently stroked his hair.

He calmly threw his military cap onto the table. All the officers present straightened their backs and looked straight ahead unconsciously.

But everyone was nervous, not knowing what the young commander would do next.

"The friendship we've had over the years doesn't mean anything, does it? I can't hand over the troops to someone who has selfish motives and plans to set up his own faction."

"Pingchuan, after the relocation order is issued, take me with you to see Cai Yuanming off... After all, we are brothers, so we should part ways in peace and avoid any conflict."

Hai Pingchuan immediately agreed.

But he knew as well as everyone else that even if Cai Yuanming really rebelled at this moment, with Jiang Cheng's current military strength, he could be killed in Changchun immediately.

"Let's adjourn."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and sent all his subordinates away.

"Master...drink some water."

After a long while, Ye Hai carefully brought a cup of hot water to Jiang Cheng who was standing by the window looking out.

He took it silently, and that cold look made the usually bold Ye Hai lower his head quickly, not even daring to breathe.

Turning his gaze to the window again, Jiang Cheng spoke calmly, as if speaking to the heavy snow falling outside: "You think I'm too heartless and ungrateful, right?"

"We are brothers, so I'll just give it up - just because of 10,000 yuan in cash."

Ye Hai waved his hands quickly: "Master Jiang, your words are unreasonable... I have never heard of such a thing in our community!"

"They all say that Chief Cai has gone too far and is only taking money and pursuing his own agenda. Some people even say that he wants to split up the family business, which has pissed off our master."

Jiang Cheng took two sips of hot water, shook his head and smiled.

Ever since he traveled through time, he has always believed that as long as they are true brothers and their mutual interests are solid enough, they can advance and retreat together.

But now it seems that some people can only share adversity but not wealth.

Cai Yuanming is definitely not the first... and of course, definitely not the last.

"Human beings, haha ​​- they are the most complicated."

He said in the calmest tone, something that Ye Hai would probably never understand in his life.

…………

At one o'clock in the morning, when the order was issued from the General Staff, Cai Yuanming, who was at the command center, had already fallen asleep.

Although he is a slick and selfish person who only thinks about saving some money and benefits for himself and the Cai family, he is still diligent and responsible in leading the troops.

Ever since he was promoted to regimental commander in Siping, many people around him and even at home have proposed marriages to him, but he seems to only have his soldiers in his heart... and has no interest in women at all.

However, when the order came to his hands, Cai Yuanming shook as if he had been electrocuted. If it were not for the adjutant Zheng Yangguang who quickly supported him, the young senior officer would have sat on the ground.

The news was blocked, and he didn't hear anything. Moreover, the order was issued so quickly that even if he knew in advance, it would be useless to do anything.

While I was trembling all over, the 132nd Brigade and Hai Pingchuan who came to "escort" me had arrived.

Neither brother spoke, they just exchanged glances for a moment... they had said everything that needed to be said.

Cai Yuanming gritted his teeth, grabbed his cotton coat and put it on, then sat on the edge of the kang with his eyes closed. After an unknown amount of time, he still gritted his teeth and gave the order for everyone to assemble and set off.

There is no point anymore.

If anyone dared to give such an order, Jiang Cheng would not be afraid of his rebellion.

Not to mention that Changchun was surrounded by his troops, Siping, Liaoyuan, Liufangzi... were all his troops.

Add to that the Jilin Prefecture and Wu Junsheng, and he would really jump up and overturn the table, fearing that he would lose his life.

"Pingchuan, the eldest wife of the Jiang family, will you take good care of my sister?"

Pushing open the door and facing the blade-like heavy snow and wind, Cai Yuanming took a deep breath of the cold air.

Hai Pingchuan swallowed hard, his body as cold as his lungs after inhaling the breath of wind and snow. After a long while, he responded firmly: "Chief Jiang - also agreed!"

Ah.

Cai Yuanming sneered in the wind and snow, and shuddered as he asked, "Is it Commander Jiang already?"

"Let's go, don't delay the departure time... Military orders are as heavy as a mountain!"

The huge snowflakes soon dyed them and the quickly assembled troops white.

The east gate of Changchun was wide open, and the two troops marched out in parallel, like a long dragon made of flesh and steel.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng rolled up his military coat tightly, stood silently at the window of the city gate tower, and looked at the troops going away.

Beside him was Hai Huixin, who was holding Jiang Chengye. The woman's amber eyes flashed with trust, but also a little bit of trepidation.

"Son, watch carefully—this is your father's world."

After saying this, he turned his head slightly to meet the child's eyes that seemed to understand, but Hai Huixin said with a bit of sadness: "He is still too young... How can he understand this?"

Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at her, but then said, "They will grow up eventually - the sons of soldiers all have the same fate."

Chengye called out "Dad" in a daze. Jiang Cheng reached out to take his son from his wife's hands, pointed at the long dragon of fire formed by the torches in the soldiers' hands, and earnestly explained some principles to him.

Flickering sparks could be vaguely seen in the father and son's eyes, like a wild dance in the wind and snow.

Hai Huixin lowered her eyelids and smiled faintly, then walked forward gently and leaned beside him.

Jiang Cheng was startled, he lifted a corner of his military coat and hugged her tightly in his arms: "Are you cold?"

Hai Huixin snuggled up to him, raised her face and smiled sweetly at him: "With you here, everywhere is warm."

After saying that, she calmed down, stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently on the face, then pressed against his chest: "Feilan, I also want to give you a son!"

With a sudden thought, Jiang Cheng hugged her even tighter: "Let's give birth, right now. Let's go home..."

…………

When Cai Yuanming and his troops arrived safely in Liaoyuan, the order to relieve Cai Yuanming of his command and Zhang Fushan arrived immediately.

Cai Yuanming was not surprised when he received the order, but his sister hid in the room and cried secretly. All the women went to comfort her, even Cao Shiying went.

But she just hid in the bed and cried, and the women were really helpless... That night, she called her elder brother Cai Yuanzong who was in Siping.
