The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

When Jiang Cheng heard that he was interested, he immediately agreed and said that Heilongjiang Province only needed to provide land and workers, and Jilin would be responsible for the rest of the investment, technology, and preliminary materials.

After hearing this, Wu Junsheng was so happy that he laughed out loud. He quickly took over the conversation and asked him to continue the conversation: "Okay, okay! As soon as I heard Feilan say this, I knew you were a show-off..."

"No wonder everyone is willing to cooperate with you, Jiang Feilan. You are really a very approachable person."

After saying that, he picked up the teacup and offered tea instead of wine. Seeing that he was so happy, Jiang Cheng thought that he really had the intention to cooperate, so he also picked up the teacup and toasted him back.

Wu Taixun said, "Dad, we are taking advantage of Fei Lan. We will pay whatever money is due."

"I don't want outsiders to say that my father and I are not open-minded and always try to take advantage of others."

Jiang Cheng laughed: "We are all under the command of the handsome man, so what is the difference between yours and mine?"

The more Wu Junsheng listened, the happier he became, and he kept saying polite words like "That's right, what's the difference between you and me?" and "Since we're cooperating, we'll be a family from now on."

He was being polite, but the "family" that Jiang Cheng mentioned was more than just talk.

The time has come to 1923, and then the second Zhi-Feng movement, Guo Songling's anti-Feng movement...one thing after another is inevitable.

Jiang Cheng looked at the father and son coldly, and couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.

Jilin, Mongolia and the entire territory of Rehe are currently basically controlled by the Jiang family. If we start from now on, we can gradually reach out to Heilongjiang Province by investing money and inputting talents.

After the Huanggutun Incident, Wu Dashetou went there with the Marshal... With Wu Taixun's ability, if he uses some more tricks, he will have no problem controlling Heilongjiang Province.

When that time comes, will I be able to...

Without thinking further, Jiang Cheng waved to Han Ming and asked him to arrange for the hotel staff to serve wine and food and entertain the Wu father and son well.

After three rounds of drinking, the father and son thought of Wu Chifang at the same time... When they mentioned the Japs, they both felt hatred for them:

Over the years, they have strictly controlled Japanese forces in Heilongjiang Province and strictly investigated Japanese spies - so Jiang Cheng's safety can be guaranteed if he cooperates with them.

As agreed, the father and son, accompanied by Jiang Cheng and his party, went to the monument at the end of Central Street to pay tribute to Wu Chifang.

The expressions of the father and son were very gloomy. After all, in the minds of Northeastern men, it is a particularly shameful thing to be unable to protect even the female relatives.

Jiang Cheng kept his eyes down and remained silent, staring at the group of people from Heilongjiang Province who were secretly swearing -

No wonder Heilongjiang Province was the first province to fire the first shot of the domestic war of resistance, and fought against the invaders in the snowy forests until the war was completely won...

These men are real men of steel.

While he was thinking about these things, Feng Qing came up from behind the team and whispered a few words in his master's ear.

Jiang Cheng was shocked when he heard this, and looked back at him in astonishment: "When did you get the news?"

Feng Qing lowered his voice and said, "The news just came from the Marshal's Office. Wu Peifu went south and headed straight for Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin."

Jiang Cheng quickly glanced back at the Wu father and son. They were still facing the monument to commemorate Wu Chifang and didn't notice the little episode at all.

"Send a telegram and ask Congbin to come back quickly and continue discussing cooperation with the Second Master and his son... I have to go to Fengtian in a day or two." Normally, cooperation on the territory should be handled by Yan Ziwen and others, but he recently took Ivan to Baikal... Such a big matter as cooperation between the two provinces should be handed over to reliable people.

But Jiang Cheng was very confused. Why did the Marshal's Mansion inform him but not Wu Junsheng?

You must know that after the Zhi-Feng War, he and Wu Junsheng and others all expressed their loyalty to the Marshal. Logically speaking, they were equals. Why didn't he tell his second brother about such a thing?
Are they planning to use the Jilin Army to enter the country and go south to interfere in the war between Jiangsu and Zhejiang?
If we just call him, this possibility is really high.

The greater Jiang Cheng's power, the more cautious he became in his actions outside the Great Wall. He had developed the habit of considering each other's intentions and mentality before doing anything.

After arranging Duan Congbin to receive the visitors from Heilongjiang Province, Jiang Cheng boarded a southbound train and headed straight for Fengtian.

The people who came to pick them up were Jiang Dengxuan and Feng Yong - the two followed Zhang Hanqing in reorganizing the army and were transferred out of the Jilin Army and took up posts in Fengtian respectively.

Within a year, Jiang Dengxuan was promoted to the commander of the 27th Army, while Feng Yong was recommended by Zhang Hanqing to continue serving as the air force commander in the Fengtian Army.

The brothers were naturally happy to meet each other. After exchanging some greetings, they went straight to the lobby of the office.

Passing by the staff office on the second floor, there was smoke everywhere and people coming in with documents in their hands were all in a hurry. The smell of gunpowder was very strong.

On the way here, Jiang Dengxuan mentioned the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to him. Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin successively asked for help from the Marshal's Mansion.

"Qi Xieyuan and Wu Peifu have already joined forces in two places, and are obviously heading for Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. If they are lost, the power of the Zhili clique will be too great."

While leading Jiang Cheng upstairs, Jiang Dengxuan lowered his voice and said to him, "Wu Peifu had long planned to pacify the south, consolidate his power, and then move north."

Jiang Cheng nodded silently.

Even if they go south, the heavy siege on Shandong will be transferred to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions...but the Marshal will not allow this to happen.

Soon after they sat down, the Marshal came in with Yang Yuting and his son.

Jiang Cheng supported himself with his hands on his knees, stood up and saluted. The Marshal waved to him with a heavy face and asked everyone to sit down.

"You all know the news, right? Mr. Wu is really ambitious. He actually set his sights on going to Shanghai."

The Marshal rubbed his hands, took out his old pipe and added tobacco while saying, "Old Duan was driven out of the capital, and his old subordinates all stayed in their respective territories and lived peacefully."

"His old subordinate Lu Yongxiang is now asking us for help - how can we just sit there and watch Wu Xiucai do whatever he wants?"

Duan Qirui was originally considered one of the enemies of the Fengtian clique, but later with the joining of Xu Shuzheng, the easing of relations over the years, and the deterioration of relations between the Marshal and the Zhili clique, a brief "honeymoon period" appeared between the Anhui clique and the Fengtian clique.

It’s actually easy to understand. The enemy of my enemy… is my friend.

Jiang Cheng considered his words for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Shanghai in the International Concession is a big piece of fat meat... Mr. Wu is not giving us face by making plans at this time."

Yang Yuting looked at him and thought that this kind of words that go with the flow are not what you, Jiang Feilan, like to say.

He rolled his eyes and said, "If he takes over the south, it will be easy for him to attack Shandong—"

"If we really enter the country at that time, we will be in a very passive position." (End of this chapter)
