The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

At this time, Jiang Cheng had already stopped smiling and slowly hung up the phone.

Sun Zhengnan, who was standing by, saw him looking at him and immediately said, "Master Shuai, I'm afraid this matter is difficult to handle. Can we ask Machino or Suzuki to handle it?"

Jiang Cheng nodded without comment, but...quickly shook his head.

"We must report the situation to our allies, but right now, we can't handle it cleanly just by the two of them."

Sun Zhengnan couldn't figure out his master's intentions.

But if you think about it carefully, since the Russo-Japanese War, Japan's sphere of interests in China has been expanding...

Especially now, with the tacit approval of Western powers, a large number of interests for China were gained at the Paris Peace Conference.

"The meat is almost in their mouths. You want them to spit it out. Is that possible?"

Staring at the map of Jinan, Jiang Cheng's tone and expression were very cold, "How long will these devils wait for this opportunity? Shandong is clearly a piece of fat meat now!"

Sun Zhengnan nodded and said, "So, with their power, they are not enough to balance the domestic side that swallowed up Shandong—"

"Besides, even if it's Machino and Matsushita, they are Japanese after all."

So far, Machino, Matsushita and other devils have been "cooperating" with Jiang Cheng in different ways;
But no matter how "friendly" and "cooperative" their behavior is, their identity as aliens or even enemies cannot be changed.

"Once there is a conflict of interest, who do you think they will help?"

Jiang Cheng's expression was self-evident, but he quickly added, "But if there is a conflict of interest between them, we can gain the interests of Jinan from it."

"It's unlikely that we can take back coastal cities like Qingdao, but as long as our Fengtian Army can continue to maintain its garrison in Shandong and make them suffer a setback in Jinan, they will have to think twice before they want to cause trouble in Shandong again."

After saying these words, Jiang Cheng summarized the circumstances of the riot and casualties in Jinan Commercial Street, and asked him to exaggerate the situation and send it to Okawa Masao at the consulate.

And he was planning to cause some trouble for the Japs in Siberia.

And there’s that guy inside the pass… Yu Shuai who keeps causing trouble for them.

Jiang Cheng clenched his fists silently, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

…………

The next morning, Jiang Dengxuan, who was still on the front line in Siberia, received an order to secretly go to a military camp near Vladivostok with the support of Anthony's guerrillas.

Logically speaking, when Master Jiang ordered a sneak attack, they thought they were going to fight off the Japanese, but they didn't expect that when they arrived at the place, it turned out to be a US military camp.

Even Anthony was a little confused by the blue and red American flag, and kept gesturing to Ivan who was acting as the translator: Why is it here?
Before Ivan could ask, Jiang Dengxuan scratched his chin and understood a little bit -

The purpose of the higher-ups should be to ruin Japan's plan to send troops north and force them to withdraw their troops from Vladivostok!

The Japanese gradually deployed troops in Siberia, and the number of troops...has far exceeded the "limited troop deployment plan" signed with the US military.

The United States has long been dissatisfied with this, but due to its long-standing "appeasement policy" and the huge "economic effect" that Japan's cooperation has brought to itself,
The United States turned a blind eye to the Japanese military intervention.

"But if we beat up the American soldiers here, it will greatly arouse their dissatisfaction with Japan." Jiang Dengxuan showed a slightly smug smile, "Master Jiang, this is a great move!"

The Slavs have never been so cunning, and they couldn't speak the same language as Jiang Dengxuan.
The troops had changed their uniforms before setting off, and took advantage of the cover of night to beat up these American soldiers, so they couldn't tell who was who at all.

Even though they have experienced the Civil War and the War of Independence, the only wars the Americans have fought are basically bullying the "vulnerable groups" in North America or Latin America. Although they have combat effectiveness, their vigilance is indeed lacking.

Not to mention that this time Jiang Dengxuan brought the elite of his 30th Division, who were not only well-equipped but also had been rigorously trained at the Songhua Lake Military Base.

After a heavy bombardment and brutal beating, they didn't even have time to react before they were all beaten into pig heads, with countless casualties.

That night, the highest commander of the U.S. Northern Expeditionary Force, Graves, went straight to the forward command post of Tanaka Yoshiichi and Fukushima Yasumasa and cursed them angrily.

In addition, they were asked to withdraw their troops from the Caucasus region immediately.

The reason is very clear, it's because you guys can't even defend the area near Vladivostok, and you caused us to suffer heavy losses in a surprise attack. As allies, you only know how to fight and expand your sphere of influence, don't you know how to guard the rear?

Tanaka didn't take Graves' accusations seriously at all, but Fukushima was furious.

This old guy had studied in England and could speak fluent English. He immediately started fighting with the arrogant American, despite Tanaka's attempts to stop him.

Graves is not a high-ranking official in the United States, but since cooperating with Japan, he has always appeared in Asia as a "special envoy".

I've long been accustomed to others' groveling and flattery - I didn't expect that this short Japanese guy would dare to challenge me, so I immediately gave him annoyance and slapped him in the face.

The accompanying American soldiers also rushed in and fought with the Japanese guards led by Tanaka and Fukushima.

In the chaos, all the high-ranking officers, whether American or Japanese, were involved. Tanaka, who was even shorter, was hit twice by the butt of a rifle, and blood gushed out...

After the fight, of course the stronger American had the upper hand and left the place with a huff.

Such a conflict occurred, but unexpectedly, both Tanaka and Fukushima chose to suppress the matter and did not report it to the Japanese top leaders;
He did not inform the entire Northern Expeditionary Army...but instead continued to deploy troops in the Siberia region.

Jiang Cheng, who had already received the news, informed his ally Matsushita Hideki of the message and, through him, conveyed his personal dissatisfaction to the Japanese cabinet.

You know, because of the success in the Siberian war, it was a foregone conclusion that Tanaka Giichi would join the cabinet.

During this critical stage, many political opponents were keeping a close eye on the overall situation of the military, waiting to find some minor problems to ruin his chances of joining the cabinet.

Therefore, Tanaka Giichi had to turn his attention from Jinan to Siberia...

After all, the Caucasus region is the meat that is already in one's mouth, and forcing Jinan to withdraw its troops may actually result in not getting a single bite of the meat, but being bitten to death instead.

"Besides, the Fengtian Army is still our main partner. Whether it is Vladivostok or the Caucasus region, they all need Jilin's combat readiness support. We..."

Fukushima Yasumasa pointed out the problem.

Of course, Tanaka Yoshiichi also agreed with this, but he just couldn't get over it. (End of this chapter)
