The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

But what none of them expected was that the battle had just begun, and the French army, under the pretext of "maintaining order in the concession", launched a massive bombardment of the combined fleet off the coast of Yuhang...

Soon after, the British troops cruising in the open sea also pressed forward, and even after sending out flag signals, they fired artillery shells twice in a row, forcing the Japanese navy to withdraw from the waters near Yuhang.

This seemingly farcical joint campaign also made the capital see through Japan's evil ambitions and project its evil idea of ​​"friendly peace" onto Western countries.

But Jiang Cheng knew very well that the Japanese had evil ambitions and attempted to colonize and occupy Northeast China and even the whole of China; Western countries such as Britain, France and the United States also had no good intentions.

However, China, which is currently surviving in the cracks, is too weak, and the warlords are not unified, making it difficult to form a unified main ideology towards the outside world.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Cheng can only rely on these Western countries to develop himself first, and then plan for the world!

On the day the dilemma was resolved, Feng Yong actually rushed to Harbin.

The two brothers hugged each other as soon as they met. Jiang Cheng took him into the Jiang Mansion with a gentle smile on his face, and sat down in the living room for a long chat.

After hearing that Feng Delin was in good health, Jiang Cheng asked about his family situation and responded to his concern: "As for me, it's all thanks to Huixin who takes care of the household for me! Otherwise, I would be so busy... I really can't do anything."

"Especially since Xiaoyu gave me another son and Xue'er is going to give birth next month - the Governor's Mansion is in chaos."

Feng Yong looked envious: "You are so lucky! You have many wives, concubines and children. Will you be able to have one in the future?"

Joking aside, the two of them went back and forth, and Feng Yong said seriously: "Hey, speaking of Xiaoyu, did you forget something?"

What did I forget?

Jiang Cheng blinked absentmindedly for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten it! Hey - you, didn't you come to Harbin with Duan Zhigui?"

After all the calculations, it has been twenty days since the group "set out". This means they have been walking upside down from Jilin Prefecture to Harbin, so it is time for them to reach their destination!
Where have all these people gone?
"Oh, don't mention it! On the second day after we set out, Duan Zhigui was so scared when he heard that something happened in Harbin that he didn't dare to move forward. He said something like: Being an official is important, but I won't come back if I lose my life!"

"So he took Duan Congbin and his burly bodyguard, as well as a group of men and women, young and old, and hid in Shuangcheng, saying that they would come back when Harbin was peaceful again!"

This damn old guy is really a thousand-year-old coward, and his mind is as cunning as a turtle.

Jiang Cheng was speechless, and looked back at Feng Yong with a grin: "Then why are you——"

The latter immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Haha... I heard that the capital has ordered a war with the Japanese. I thought the situation in the Northeast should be resolved, so I came here to explore the way!"

They actually want you, Master Feng, to lead the way? These people are so shameless.

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes. "You bastard, he came to see me and wanted me to find him a way out, right? Haha... Why didn't he be more diligent? Not only did he drag you along, but he also asked you to go and explore the way first?"

Feng Yong could hear his dissatisfaction, and hurriedly persuaded him with a wry smile: "My Lord Jiang, please don't say that. He is your father-in-law after all, you have to - you have to give him some face."

Jiang Cheng snorted twice: "Feng Yong, I'm not saying this to you... I don't really consider him my father-in-law!" "He forced Xiaoyu on me in the first place, and I don't know how many times he failed to send her to me before he bet his daughter on me - whenever I think of this, my mind is filled with thoughts of lawsuits!"

"Now Xiaoyu follows me wholeheartedly, and brings her family to help the Chinese medicine factory in Jilin Prefecture. We have made a lot of good medicines to cure diseases and save lives, and we have also earned a lot of foreign exchange. I am very happy from the bottom of my heart."

Feng Yong smiled bitterly again and said, "Really? She is Duan Zhigui's daughter after all. It will not look good if you criticize her father... Besides, you have to think about Jiaqi too!"

If I really want to recognize such a shitty grandpa, then I really,

Jiang Cheng still wanted to curse, but somehow, the image of Cai Chanjuan flashed through his mind - causing him to sigh unconsciously.

"Hey, this is Chunchun giving face to you, Brother Feng!"

Jiang Cheng also shook his head and smiled bitterly twice, then raised his hand and patted Feng Yong on the shoulder again, "Okay, then you notify Shuangcheng and ask Duan Zhigui to bring his nephew over... But there are quite a few positions available at this time, so I'll arrange them all at once, so you won't blame me for anything harsh."

Just as Duan Zhigui was on his way to Harbin, Yang Yuting also successfully found Okawa Masao.

In fact, this little Japanese is similar to Suzuki Hideki and others. He has also received a lot of benefits from Jiang Cheng.

This Sino-Japanese conflict made Okawa Masao extremely upset.

He knew that he was Japanese - but the income from Japan was not as much as the "charcoal money" and "ice water money" Jiang Cheng gave him every year;

In addition, he also has shares in Fengtian Dapingzhuang, and the commission amounts from those silk shops are astonishing. He has long been supported by them to the point that he can no longer tell which nationality he is.

If he really turns against this God of Wealth, Okawa Masao will be in great trouble.

But Yang Yuting's presence helped him solve the problem.

Little Zhuge first proposed that the fundamental cause of the conflict in Shanghai was the military's reckless advance;
In the final analysis, this is the problem of people like Nagata Tetsuzan and Tanaka Giichi. They were too greedy for merit and wanted to compete for power with the consulate and the General Staff, which led to this series of conflicts.

Yang Yuting's intention was to let him immediately contact the high-level officials of the General Staff and complain to the Cabinet and Crown Prince Hirohito to avoid any further war... After all, Britain, France and the United States are also involved in the war. No matter how powerful you Japanese are, you may not be able to defeat these old capitalist countries.

Although his words had some loopholes, to the Japanese who had benefited from Jiang Cheng for many years, they were the best "suggestions".

After all, what he wants now is to maintain the status quo. It would be best if the Army and Navy all choose to withdraw their troops so that he can continue to make money in the Northeast.

Who cares? The garrison in Fengtian Province has not been driven away, and there are not many troops in Jilin. The worst that can happen is that he can stay in Japanese-controlled Korea for a few days... When he has made enough money, wouldn't it be nice for him to secretly run away to the United States like Suzuki Hideki?

With this in mind, Okawa Masao shook Yang Yuting's hand and thanked him for a while, and sent a telegram back to the mainland that night. The message roughly reflected the Fengtian Army's chief of staff's opinion, and he even exaggerated the empire's loss and the cruelty of Britain, France and the United States. (End of this chapter)
