The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

This is no joke. The Marshal's expression suddenly became restrained, and the warlords around him were also shocked.

"Damn it, we just chased the Japanese away...are these old Russians going to attack us because they see the benefits?"

Among all the high-ranking officials of the Fengtian Army, the one who seemed the most excited was Sun Liechen.

He stood up and said that if the Russians dared to do anything, he would lead the whole army to give them a hard time... This made the Marshal curl his lips and grumble a few times: "Tsk tsk, Sixth Brother, what are you thinking of?"

"This matter is the brat's own backyard matter, why are you interfering in it? Besides--"

Having said this, his pair of clever little eyes had clearly taken on a more complex expression.

Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that the Marshal might think that he was forming a clique. He immediately opened his mouth to express his opinion, but a loud noise mixed with clanging came from the other end of the round table.

Everyone turned their eyes at the same time and saw Wu Junsheng, who was drunk and had a red face and thick neck. He seemed to have become extremely excited after hearing the content of their conversation and stood up while cursing.
Under the influence of alcohol, his movements were slow and clumsy, and he knocked over wine glasses and other objects, but he was still cursing: "Who the hell is it? Who wants to die? Give it to me, cough cough... give it to me, damn, You Quan! You Quan!"

His voice became louder and louder, attracting the attention of almost everyone in the banquet hall.

The originally noisy banquet suddenly fell silent. People stared at Wu Junsheng with wide eyes. Some people whispered to each other in low voices. But they just listened to the old man yelling, his voice getting louder and louder:

"Youquan, damn, there are foreigners who are eyeing our Northeast again! Prepare the troops... prepare the guns and artillery, inform the brothers, we are going to kill those Japanese devils!"

Hearing that he was obviously drunk, the Marshal raised his beard, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Look at my second brother, he is really..."

He patted his thigh, turned around and shouted to the person behind him: "Xishun, Xishun! Hurry up and call two people over——"

"Hurry up, hurry up, send our Second Master upstairs to rest and sleep!"

In fact, the Marshal himself drank a lot, but he was still rational after all; especially when he saw his brother was so out of control, he didn't want to delve into anything else.

Jiang Cheng said goodbye to the young marshal and others in a timely manner, took his staff and quickly left the marshal's mansion.

"I think the old man might really be suspicious of me!"

As the convoy turned out of Fengtian City, Sun Zhengnan, who was sitting next to Jiang Cheng, said softly, "I think if the internal troubles are not controlled well, they will be even bigger than what the Russians will give us in the future!"

Staring at the receding scenery outside the window, Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "You are right—"

"It's easy to deal with enemies outside, but it's hard to quell internal conflicts..."

Feng Yong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said softly: "Feilan, I'm watching from a distance. Uncle Six should be completely on our side..."

"But Jinzhou is too far away from Jilin, and there is also the Marshal in between. It's a good thing that he wants to help; but not only can distant water not quench nearby thirst, the key is that he is coming towards us, and the Marshal will definitely have a grudge in his heart."

Looking back, Jiang Cheng could see that his two confidants were both worried about the current situation.

"Do you think Master Shuai doesn't doubt me? He has been dissatisfied with me for a long time!"

Sun Zhengnan's expression was serious. "Yang Yuting warned us many times before that we should try to avoid forming cliques and factions - and we must always remain loyal to our master."

Jiang Cheng nodded silently: Because the marriage was not happy, Zhang Shoufang was never willing to return to the Zhang family after leaving the Bao family.

As long as she stayed in the Jiang family for one day, regardless of whether it was Jiang Cheng's instruction or not, she would almost be like a "hostage". In addition, Yu Fengzhi's cooperation with them had been continuing, and the Zhang family had sufficient military funds and would cause less trouble for them.

"The Russians' affairs are related to the future development of Jilin - so we must not be careless and must treat them as a top priority."

Jiang Cheng held his chin and thought for a moment before turning back to the two of them and saying, "Also...Brother Feng!"

He suddenly raised his voice, causing the latter to respond immediately. Jiang Cheng said seriously, "After thinking about it, I think we have to start the military construction in Jilin."

"Over the past three years, the army has been reorganized and each unit has recruited soldiers on its own to form a force."

"But to be honest, I, Jiang Cheng, have really become a general who knows nothing... I don't know who you have employed, how many soldiers I have, and the specific structure of my troops."

"Especially when Pingchuan and Lao Huang came to the border and started their own business, I felt even more stretched."

Sun Zhengnan quickly understood what Jiang Cheng meant and nodded repeatedly, "Do you want to restart the military training?"

Ding Chunxi’s previous “Jiutai Incident” prompted Jiang Cheng to start an internal operation called “Military Reorganization”.

However, due to the struggle between the Kwantung Army and the Fengtian Army, this operation did not last long and was also carried out in a very gentle manner.

"Correct!"

Jiang Cheng slapped his thigh and said, "After we open up the Russian port, we need to start over with military and other reforms—"

"Brother Feng, I transferred you from Dapingzhuang because I wanted you and Old Sun to jointly lead this matter."

"We currently have advanced weapons and equipment, and have begun to integrate advanced external technologies... However, our power and military are still at the level of the old-fashioned gangsters, and are still far from being accepted by the upper class."

Feng Yong was shocked: "Feilan, you, you gave me such a heavy task, I..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Jiang Cheng continued: "Don't worry——"

"In terms of innovation, I think even the content of the military academy is very superficial... Old Sun has the advanced ideas I introduced, including dozens of points of attention, seven principles, etc."

"You two should study these carefully recently, and when I come back from the Russians, come up with an innovative plan for me."

Sun Zhengnan looked full of confidence, but Feng Yong looked troubled.

Jiang Cheng understood his personality - seemingly gentle and elegant but actually quite tough. He could do the job well.

After traveling day and night, Jiang Cheng soon returned to the capital of Jilin.

Without even going home, he ran to the hospital to see Zhang Tingxue who had just given birth.

He had a new baby daughter, who was fair and cute. Jiang Cheng happily hugged and kissed her, and named her Shilan.

After making arrangements with Hai Huixin, Jiang Cheng and Li Shitou set out for the north that evening. (End of this chapter)
