The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 75 The arena is not about fighting and killing
"Eight grenades?"

Hearing this, the Marshal was startled at first, then he laughed out loud and pointed at him tauntingly, "Wow, look at what you can do!"

"And he kicked two guns and eight grenades! What? Are you ready to get a golden egg hanging on your butt? And eight more..."

"It's okay to keep a gun close to your body, but never show it when someone is getting close to you!"

The old man frowned, raised his hand and slapped him on the head in a reproachful manner, "Foolish boy, if you meet a crowd of people, run away and ask for a child... You are the only one here, and you will see who will carry the gun when the time comes!"

"As the saying goes, two fists cannot defeat four hands. If the opponent grabs it from you, your 'smart' head will be in trouble!"

Jiang Cheng didn't feel disgusted at all by his scolding in such a scolding manner. In fact, when he looked back at his gentle smile, he felt a sense of intimacy as if he were an elder.

"Master, I..."

Slightly absent-minded, Jiang Cheng was still somewhat unhappy, "I'll listen to you!"

"But this matter with the Japanese is not over yet, right?"

"They deliberately took advantage of this loophole, and it's obvious that they want to take advantage of us and steal all our money!"

At this time, Zhang Hanqing had already prepared medicinal wine, gauze and cotton and other things and came back. Before he could wipe the wound on his face, the Marshal put away his smile and said, "Then what do you say, kid? What should we do?"

"I don't know anything about money and finance... Of course, you have Director Wang to assist you, so I'm sure this turmoil will soon pass."

Jiang Cheng said boldly, "Sir, these little Japanese are too arrogant. I think we have to find a way to catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Even if we can't catch them all, we have to find opportunities to catch a few of them - to dampen their arrogance!"

As if infected by his enthusiasm, Marshal Zhang was obviously touched.

He instantly suppressed the emotional changes in his eyes, lowered his brows and sat down on the sofa beside him.

"Dad, Fei Lan is right!"

Zhang Hanqing dipped some medicinal wine in it and wiped the bruises off his lips. "You didn't see today that a group of scoundrels were negotiating in the steamed bun shop on Main Street in broad daylight!"

"I don't really understand this, but I can see that if they succeed, it will be a huge loss for Fengtian! Dad, we must send people to arrest them all."

After his son finished speaking, the commander, who had remained relatively calm, said slowly:

"I understand what you two mean, but the current situation in Fengtian, and even the entire area outside the Great Wall, cannot be solved by simply sending troops and arresting all these Japanese who are making small moves!"

After saying this, he raised his chin slightly and smiled at his son: "Sixth son, what have I been telling you? What is the Jianghu?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhang Hanqing said impatiently, "The martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships and worldly wisdom."

"That's right!"

Marshal Zhang patted his thigh, then raised his face and continued to persuade the two, "Now that we have just stabilized in Fengtian... Do you think that the position of the governor and the top leader, as well as our territory, is only coveted by the Japanese?"

"We have soldiers on hand, so catching a few Japanese is no problem at all—"

"But on what grounds can we arrest them? And what should we do if the Japanese consulate comes to ask for them after we arrest them?"

"Liu Zi, I have been telling you this. Of course, I will also tell Fei Lan this today."

"From now on, we can't fight the Japanese openly, we have to do it here!"

As he spoke, he raised his right finger and tapped his temple. "If we can't do it openly, we'll just use soft and hard tactics to try and fool them if we can." Jiang Cheng nodded, and in his return gaze, he spoke, "I understand what Master Shuai means."

"The Japanese are here to do something bad. The most important thing is that we are afraid that they will join forces with others to oppose us."

In fact, Jiang Cheng understood what he said.

Foreign nationals living in China, including the Japanese, have extraterritoriality and cannot be bound by Chinese laws.

Even if there is enough evidence to accuse them of speculation and profiteering in China, with Zhang Yuting's current strength, he can only rely on negotiations to resolve the issue.

If the Japanese were really pushed into a corner, several forces would attack them together, which would be disadvantageous to them.

The Marshal laughed out loud after hearing this: "That's right, you are a smart boy!"

"Look, the Mongolian bandits around Fengtian were supported by them. And the bank ticket number incidents also show the Japanese behind them!"

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said immediately: "It is said that our handsome man is a top-notch person. He can see everything clearly!"

Obviously, the Marshal was pleased with the flattery. He laughed heartily: "Enough! You are using your scholars' sour farts to smother me again..."

"I say, boy, when I was studying with Liuzi and the others, why didn't I realize that you were quite smart?"

Jiang Cheng hurriedly said modestly: "Master, please stop praising me - you can see that Feilan is also a little smart."

"I always want to fight the Japanese face to face...using knives and guns, it really makes me look like a reckless man!"

Marshal Zhang glanced at his son, lowered his eyebrows and smiled twice: "Come on! You, kid, use your cleverness for something serious in the future."

"Remember, when you have exhausted all your tricks and schemes, and have no other options left, don't resort to violence - governing the Northeast cannot be done with brute force alone!"

"Alright, alright, go back and prepare for the entrance exam! That Guo Maochen is really capable of manipulation..."

"They insisted on posting the results of the unified assessment according to the rankings - I originally wanted to get places for you two and that brat Xuecheng, but in the end, they didn't give any places to any of you, haha!"

He laughed and waved his hands to ask the two of them to leave.

"Hey, I forgot to ask just now, did you capture so many people for nothing? Won't your father give me some reward?"

As soon as he left the house, Jiang Cheng regretted his decision and turned back to ask for more benefits. Zhang Hanqing was so angry that he grabbed him and said, "Aren't you too snobbish? It's just a few arrests, you shouldn't..."

"What do you mean not so? Can I show you my face? It hurts so much that I am dying!"

Jiang Cheng glanced at him sideways, but then smiled, "Okay! I'll give you a favor today and not ask you - but let's be frank first, things can't just end like this."

After saying that, he walked away, leaving Zhang Hanqing so angry that he pointed at his back and cursed: "You stinky boy, I will remember your behavior of not getting up early for no gain!"

"Hey wait, I have something to ask you."

Just as he chased after Jiang Cheng and started playing with him, the handsome man in the big office remained sitting on the sofa without moving.

"Come out, the two brats should be far away."

Lifting his eyelids and taking a sip from the teacup, the Marshal took a deep breath and smiled at the young man who came out from behind the bookshelf, "What do you think of this young man from the Jiang family?"
