The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

In addition to exporting various minerals, coal, and logs, Jilin also exports penicillin, various medicines for injuries, porcelain, wooden products and other products to overseas.

With the development of agriculture, industry, economy and people's livelihood, Jiang Cheng began a military reorganization activity with the theme of "reorganizing the army and strengthening military power".

The first group to be laid off were soldiers over 40 years old - in addition to a one-time retirement pay, they were also arranged to work nearby or in their hometowns farming and so on.

The second batch to be laid off were the unqualified officers in the team…When Jiang Cheng personally led the expeditionary force to fight in Vladivostok, Feng Yong and his staff from the Military Reorganization Office prepared a test paper.

In addition to this exam, the Military Reorganization Office will also include the quality of leadership, local people's reputation, and front-line combat conditions as part of the assessment.

Each major item is divided into 30 small subjects, each of which has a score. Once the comprehensive assessment is lower than the average score, the soldier will be directly demoted. In serious cases, all military positions will be terminated and the soldier will have to start again as a private.

At the beginning, many people were not convinced. For example, many officers under Zhang Xuecheng, relying on the fact that they were the "Second Prince's" men, did not take the Military Reorganization Office headed by Feng Yong seriously at all and even went against it.

As the superior, Zhang Xuecheng not only did not punish his subordinates, but instead said strange things to Feng Yong like "Don't be so serious", which made the elegant young man very angry.

When the governor of Jilin Prefecture heard about this, he immediately changed his attitude and ordered Feng Yong to bring the man back to the capital and execute him in front of the whole city to set an example for the Jilin army.

Not to mention Zhang Xuecheng was stunned, even Sun Zhengnan, who had always supported the work of strengthening the army, was stunned.

He quickly took people to persuade him, but he didn't expect Jiang Cheng to give a strict order to shoot him.

The second prince was so angry that he jumped up and down, and he rushed to the capital with his wife without stopping.

On that day, Jiang Cheng was having a meeting with Yan Ziwen and the researchers at the steel plant. This guy barged in angrily and slammed his pistol in front of the general in front of a group of people. He said angrily, "Jiang, you killed my two brothers. What do you mean by that?!"

In an instant, several guards led by Li Shitou surrounded the venue.

Jiang Cheng, who was at the end of the long table, lazily raised his head and looked back at the other person, his tone was calm and indifferent: "What's wrong, Xuecheng? Is it necessary to have such a big temper?"

As he spoke, he gestured to the guards around him who were on high alert to retreat, and at the same time waved to Yan Ziwen and others, indicating that they should find another place to continue the meeting.

Zhang Xuecheng saw all of this and became even more furious: "Mr. Jiang, you did a great job, didn't you?"

"My two brothers have been with me through thick and thin since Siping - and now, you're just... just because of some bullshit assessment, actually..."

He was so angry that he stuttered for the second half of his sentence and couldn't continue at all.

"They are your brothers, so who am I?"

Jiang Cheng's expression was calm, but even Zhang Xuecheng could feel that a storm was brewing beneath this calm.

"Brother, we have known each other since we were six years old in private school... You always said that Taixun and Yulin were your brother's followers, and I, Jiang Cheng, was your follower,"

Jiang Cheng looked back at him with clear eyes, "Later, we went to the Military Academy together. We studied hard, but we also went through life and death together—"

"Brother, I, Jiang Cheng, don't believe that you don't understand what's going on here!"

Zhang Xuecheng became excited again after hearing this: "Feilan! Since you mentioned Yu Lin, let's talk about it..."

"When we were studying abroad, he lost his life and I lost my eyes. It has been so difficult for us brothers to come this far!"

"Now, we have driven the Japanese out of Jilin and opened up Vladivostok. Seeing that our lives are getting better and better, why are the brothers so relieved?"

"You, how can you just..." Jiang Cheng interrupted him: "If you think that military construction is a small matter, then you are destined to not go far with me, Jiang Cheng."

Stimulated by his words, Zhang Xuecheng couldn't help but take a step back.

"The Heavy Mechanized Brigade will be separated from your 137th Brigade... But you know in your heart, brother, that the Army is the foundation of everything."

"In the future, if we want to develop the air force and navy, we have to select talents from the army... Just think about it, what can we select with the people we have now?"

"I know that the brothers have been fighting for more than three years. It's time to take a good rest."

"But have the Japanese really left? Think about Brother Chao Liu who was injured by the poison gas, and think about the brothers who sacrificed their lives over the years - the Japanese are actually separated from us by the Yalu River!"

"There are still devils in our handsome man's Feng Province and Mr. Wu's Heilongjiang Province!"

Zhang Xuecheng waved his hand, but his tone was not as fierce as before: "Don't tell me these things! I just don't understand why you want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, and start with me?"

"I'm fucking shameless, am I?"

Seeing him being so stubborn, Jiang Cheng slammed the table and stood up: "Then tell me, what did they do on your land?"

"Let me ask you, there is another case of opium being found near Jiamusi. Where did it come from?"

"Also, I heard that these two guys, in the name of our Jilin Army, were plundering the rich and the common people in Jiamusi New City. Whose idea was this?"

"And on the tenth day of this month, who allowed the soldiers to do evil and insult several female students in your area? Two of the girls were even raped to death."

"Who the hell did this!?"

His face turned pale all of a sudden, and Zhang Xuecheng was speechless for a long time.

He was well aware that since Jiang Cheng was in charge of Siping and later served as acting military governor in Changchun, he had promulgated military discipline based on "discipline".

Although there have been some deviations in the implementation of the rules at all levels over the past three years, Jiang Cheng has always strictly enforced this discipline, and it is still a shame to put it on the table.

"I."

Just when he couldn't answer, Jiang Cheng continued, "Think about it yourself, in the entire Ji army, is there any other unit that is so presumptuous?"

"Even Wang Junshan from Zhengjiatun and Hai Pingchuan from the interior of the country - who would harass the people, or smoke opium, if they are under my command, Jiang Cheng?"

"As for you, your 137th Brigade not only smokes, drinks and plays with women, but also plays the game of scraping the ground three feet high in your own garrison."

"I just shot two people! If we really investigate further, will you, as a leader, survive?"

Zhang Xuecheng was stunned when he didn't expect that the criticism would be directed at him all of a sudden.

"Mr. Jiang, are you really serious about this?"

He grabbed the pistol and said, "Okay, I'm the leader, you can kill me now!" (End of this chapter)
