The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Facing his second brother's questioning words, the Marshal instead acted like a rogue and took sides: "Hey, hey, hey, hey... I'm talking to my second master,"

"You keep saying that you know it, your son is just a temporary guardian, and everyone just tacitly agrees - to put it bluntly, our Taixun has never been the legitimate garrison commander of Harbin!"

"Now that you heard that the brat wanted to take Harbin back, you got angry but didn't do anything about it."

Wu Junsheng didn't expect that the old man would be so partial to Jiang Feilan. He blinked and was suddenly at a loss for words.

When he thought about the threat to his son and the power of the Wu family, his face darkened and he said in a muffled voice: "Well, how about you issue an order immediately to officially appoint my son!"

"Anyway, he has been in charge for two years, so he should be more familiar with the situation in Harbin than that Jiang Chaoliu. Besides, how can we let the good things flow to outsiders?"

"I was wondering where did Jiang Chaoliu come from? You must know which one is near and which one is far away..."

Listening to Wu Junsheng's chatter, Marshal Zhang glanced at his son beside him, and at Yang Yuting, who was standing not far away and sorting documents slowly and calmly as if nothing had happened.

Wu Datou had never been very fluent in his speech, and as a horse breeder from the lower class, he always spoke in a rough and loud voice.

Zhang Yuting knew clearly that his chief of general staff must have heard it clearly... He, the King of Northeast China, felt a little embarrassed to be shown such a big "face" in front of him.

Damn it, are you trying to force me to abdicate?

I won’t give Harbin to your Wu family, let’s see what you can do to me?

In fact, judging from the current situation in Northeast China, although it has been stabilized on the surface, all political regions have been firmly under control.

But the stability of his power depends on his brothers, but none of these brothers are easy to deal with;
Although the Jiang family has risen from the ground and is becoming more and more prosperous, at present, the father and son can really be regarded as a clear stream among the numerous mountains in the northeast...

The fiscal revenue was shared, the military expenses of the Fengtian Army were shared equally, and the family was willing to make money with their daughter-in-law, and be obedient; even though they had fought so many battles in a row and their territory and influence had expanded, the Jiang family had always raised money on their own.

In addition, he solved the food problem at the beginning of this year, rescued his son in Shandong, etc. His contributions are too numerous to count.

When such subordinates become powerful, the commander-in-chief, as the highest commander, will naturally worry about rebellion;
But now, comparing them with these old brothers, the Jiang family's faces are obviously much cuter.

Thinking of this, the Marshal turned his body towards his son and retracted his gaze from Yang Yuting: "Brother, you are really being harsh to me--"

"After the Bao family drove you away, have we ever treated you badly? How many acres of cultivated land are there in Heilongjiang Province? Moreover, the fertile fields along the north side of the Songhua River are all yours, brother?"

Hearing this, Wu Junsheng's tiger eyes flashed with vigilance - how shrewd is this old guy?

He was one of the few people under the Marshal who made the transition from the old school to the new school, and who had the last laugh after training his troops and climbing higher and higher.

If he had not died together with the Marshal at Huanggutun, Wu Junsheng would have surely been the most powerful evergreen figure in the Northeast Army.

"Yes, Yu Shuai, haha, what do you mean by appointment or not? I was just kidding you. What kind of life-and-death relationship do we have? Isn't the Wu family yours?"

"I... Haha, I'll call Youquan right now and ask him to spend half a day preparing to hand over the official finances to Chaoliu—"

"Well, I will ask Youquan's troops to withdraw to Heilongjiang Province. It's not appropriate for them to occupy Feilan's territory all the time. I..." But before he finished speaking, his boss opposite him suddenly said grimly: "Wait... I didn't ask you to withdraw."

"Let's hurry up and stay in Harbin. The military affairs over there will probably depend on your son for a while!"

…………

On the third day after the appointment was officially issued, Jiang Dengxuan led his family and close personal soldiers to Harbin to take up his post.

For such a large-scale operation, Jiang Cheng had to go in person to see it off. All the people in the Governor's Mansion went out together, even Cui Ni Shengshi came along.

On the way back, Jiang Cheng and Zhang Tingxue were in the same car. Sun Zhengnan, the chief of the general staff, turned around and said softly, "Master Jiang, do you think the Wu family is willing to hand over all their power?"

At this time, Jiang Cheng was holding his daughter Fenghua in his arms, and was pointing out that when the Spring Festival was approaching, there would be lights and decorations everywhere to tease her. Hearing this, the governor of Jilin suddenly narrowed his eyes and gave him a cold look.

"Oh... is it possible?"

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, handed his beautiful daughter to his wife, and said calmly, "It has a unique transportation environment and is located on the bank of the Songhua River... plus it is a hub for many important roads."

"I don't need to tell you how fertile and important that place is. Besides, if Mr. Wu can block Harbin, there will be a strategic buffer for us if we really have any chance of advancing north."

After first glancing at the slightly worried face of the governor's wife, Sun Zhengnan continued, "Yes, when the young marshal led his troops to Jiamusi to suppress the bandits, Mr. Wu was afraid that his authority in Heilongjiang Province would be threatened, so he sent his son Wu Youquan to help. He stayed in Harbin and never left."

During the Republic of China, the dividing line between Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces was the Songhua River - the north belonged to Heilongjiang Province, and the south belonged to Jilin:

Places like Harbin, Jiamusi, Fuxin and Tongjiang are all under the jurisdiction of Jilin.

Previously, Young Marshal Zhang Hanqing went to Jiamusi to suppress bandits and chased them all the way across the Songhua River to Hegang, Yichun and other places. Wu Junsheng was worried that the crown prince was leading Guo Songling to seize territory, so he sent his son Wu Taixun to "help".

Later, he openly or secretly drove away Lin Qing, the former garrison commander of Harbin, and he continued to occupy the city in the name of maintaining public order.

"Master Shuai did agree to Chao Liu's appointment, but the General Staff Department left a way out for the Wu family - You Quan's troops can still stay in Harbin."

Jiang Cheng took out a cigarette from his arms and tried to light it, but he turned his head to look at his daughter with big eyes and couldn't bear to smoke her... He continued,
"Is there anything you don't understand? In fact, Master Shuai is not completely at ease with either of our families."

"If Mr. Wu and I really get into a fight, there's no need to tell me who will benefit from it, right?"

Zhang Tingxue bit her lip lightly: "Feilan... I think, should I use my father to contact Mr. Wu and Mr. Shuai?"

"After all, we are all family. We just chased those troublemakers away, but haven't we been able to live peacefully for a few days?"

After Tanaka Yoshiichi's plan in Vladivostok failed, he put all the blame on Fukushima Yasumasa:

This made Hirohito furious, and he completely abolished the Kwantung Military Governor's Office. (End of this chapter)
