The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

It was clear that the second half of the sentence was definitely a threat. Jiang Cheng had no intention of waiting for him to finish and immediately interrupted him impatiently: "What will happen? An all-out war?"

All the Japanese present changed color slightly, but Jiang Cheng had clearly accumulated a lot of anger. He slammed his palm hard on the table in front of him and said in a loud voice: "You said I was committing an act of war?"

"I would like to ask, what do you think about your Special High Police infiltrating a large number of assassins into Harbin?"

"During the three days of martial law in the city, the Guard Brigade seized a large amount of explosives, grenades, and various weapons produced in Japan... I would like to ask Commander Uehara:"

“Is the South Manchuria Railway stretching its hand too far?!”

Having served as a military commander for so many years, and with his greatly enhanced strength now, Jiang Cheng's aura is enough to suppress these evil ambitions.

Uehara Yusaku's eyes sparked, and as a member of the Special High Section, he immediately said shamelessly: "If Commander Jiang asks this, we have to explain it carefully--"

"You are well aware that the expatriates of our Great Japanese Empire have always been friendly businessmen. Whether in Shanghai, the Central Plains, or the Northeast, they are all doing business honestly."

"But there are some people who just can't stand honest businessmen and repeatedly create hostile incidents like the one in Zhengjiatun... Therefore, it is reasonable and legal for us to prepare some self-defense weapons in a town like Harbin where there are no Japanese police to maintain law and order."

Ma Zhanshan immediately responded, "Fuck you. Nearly 500 kilograms of explosives, more than 300 rifles and pistols, and more than ten boxes of melon grenades. You're telling us this is self-defense?"

How could he, who was born in a Huzi family, have the patience to negotiate? He had long been annoyed by the civil servants' back-and-forth, but Ma Zhanshan's "furious" speech was not as reckless as Li Shitou's;

After he sat down, he had been observing Jiang Cheng's intentions. When he realized that his superior had already made up his mind, Ma Zhanshan immediately became the vanguard as if he was attacking Suifenhe, and he started to curse these little Japanese.

To put it in modern terms, it was pure face-to-face attack, simple and direct, to completely infuriate these Japanese devils.

Jiang Cheng smiled.

Ma Zhanshan truly deserves to be a national hero who will go down in history. He displayed his extraordinary courage and quickly left the Japanese present speechless with his sharp words.

Almost every word he said revolved around Japan's evil ambitions, and he clearly intended to drag foreigners like Britain, France and the United States into the water:
The guidance was that the Japs intended to monopolize the Northeast and drive out all foreign forces.

Sure enough, as soon as the plan came out, the American ambassador on the other side began to speak:
Especially since the United States had previously cooperated with them to jointly form the Northern Expeditionary Force to intervene in Siberia, it has a deeper understanding of this country's wolfish ambitions.

They were able to attend the meeting today because they were afraid that this country with an overly big appetite would expand too much in China and affect their development power;
George was clearly taking sides when he first opened his mouth, stating that the current situation was caused by the Japanese provocation first.

First, they organized an assassination attempt on Harbin senior official Jiang Dengxuan, and then they shot the daughter of the Heilongjiang Province governor. Such actions were tantamount to declaring war.

Jilin sent troops to clear out the Japanese in Harbin and drive out the garrison on the South Manchuria Railway out of considerations of protecting the military and civilians in Northeast China and maintaining peace.

Not only Americans say this, Britain and France also express this view, and Johnson of the UK even said:
The current situation is entirely Japan's fault. Senior military officials are requested to exercise restraint and not escalate the situation in Northeast China to avoid any major trouble in the future... As one of the signatories and maintainers of the post-World War I system, Britain will reserve the right to send troops to intervene.

Now, the Japanese were completely confused.

They could see that these foreign powers were clearly on Jiang Cheng's side... As for whether they tacitly agreed to each other or had even signed some kind of agreement, that was certain.

In this case, if they really send troops, they won't be able to gain any benefit from China! Looking back at the half-smile on Jiang Cheng's face, Uehara Yusaku realized that today's negotiations would inevitably end in disharmony.

He pushed the table and stood up, and said loudly that the Great Japanese Empire had received the opinions of Governor Jiang and the ministers of various countries, but as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, he had to consult the emperor for the specific response.

Nothing more to talk about?

Okawa Masao was stunned. This fence-sitter was similar to Suzuki Hideki. He had also received many benefits from the Fengtian Army in the past few years.

Especially Jiang Cheng and Marshal Zhang. If he were to turn against them, wouldn't that be robbing him of his financial resources?

It can be seen that his colleagues all stood up to leave, and Okawa Masao also stood up quickly. He opened his mouth to persuade them to "continue the negotiations", but suddenly heard Jiang Cheng coldly say "stay".

This is--

Is Jiang Cheng going to admit defeat and then both sides take a step back?

Masao Okawa couldn't help but think about the idealized state he had imagined, but what he never expected was that what Jiang Cheng was going to do next was completely different from what he had imagined.

Just as these Japanese stood still and turned around after Jiang Cheng's order, the governor, with a condescending attitude, ordered the soldiers of the guard brigade behind him to remove the barriers behind them.

The strong sunlight penetrated into the entire conference room as the wooden boards moved away, instantly illuminating the brightly lit conference room.

Then an extremely cold wind blew into the place, instantly lowering the temperature in the solemn atmosphere of the venue by more than ten degrees!
Everyone turned around in shock, looking at the broken French windows and balcony before them, and looked around in confusion. Only the generals of the Jilin Army present knew what was happening before them.

"My Japanese friends, do you recognize where this is?"

Jiang Cheng was still sitting upright on the high-backed chair, his expression and words were so superior, "A few days ago, your country's assassins planted a bomb here, and it almost made me and Governor Wu die together!"

The Japanese men's faces changed immediately, but Jiang Cheng seemed to have a trick up his sleeve. He stood up and made a "please" gesture to Uehara Yusaku, inviting him to go to the window sill and take a look together.

A large amount of cold wind kept pouring in, making it difficult for him to open his eyes, but even so, as a high-ranking officer, he could still see clearly -

In the open space on the bank of the Songhua River in the distance, a stone statue is rising from the ground!

Surrounding the monument was the Heilongjiang Province Guard led by the Wu family father and son.

"That is……"

Before Uehara Yusaku realized what they were about to do, these fully armed and well-prepared soldiers suddenly pulled the bolts of their guns and fired the first round of shots under Wu Taixun's command.
