The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

With Jiang Cheng's "high sincerity" and the strong push from Hattori Aya, the loan amount was increased from 30 million to 60 million, and the limit was also changed from the original 20-year limit to 35 years.

After two more days of negotiations, the final interest rate was finalized.

Jiang Cheng also suggested that because he is currently short of money, he hopes to start repaying the loan in three years.

It was almost 1929, and he started paying back the money three years later... Anyway, Uncle Jiang had no intention of paying it back at all.

The Japanese were even happier when they heard this. After three years, wouldn't it be able to deeply bind their economy for a longer period of time?
Good things, good things, definitely good things!
But they are not time travelers, how can they imagine what will happen three years later?

Jiang Cheng took the money and contacted Lu Yongxiang in Shanghai, asking him to arrange for foreign merchants to go north as he wanted to order a large amount of oil.

On the other hand, after years of militarism and the impact of the major earthquake, Japan's economy is almost on the verge of collapse.

I want to use Zhang Dashuai in the Northeast to recover some blood and make him a cow that can produce milk by eating grass;

But unexpectedly, this cow ate handfuls of grass and almost emptied the military's pockets, but did not produce much milk.

Later, he blew up the Marshal and wanted to cooperate with his son to support a "new cow" to take power... Zhang Hanqing, who did not want to be involved in national hatred and family feuds, directly changed his flag.

This made the military very anxious - and Jiang Cheng's loan was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for them.

Although 50 million silver dollars is not a large sum... once repayment begins, it can help ease Japan's fragile economy a little.

As a result, this group of Japanese were extremely enthusiastic about this matter. They worked together to sell off all their belongings and raised the money for Jiang Cheng.

However, no one expected that this money would be like a river flowing east to the sea and would never come back in the future.

…………

"You plan to convert it all into oil and transport it all the way from Manchuria to the Baikal region?"

Zhang Hanqing looked up in shock, "This is such a big deal, can you tell me the reason?"

The day after signing the contract with the Rockefeller family, Jiang Cheng submitted a report to the Marshal's Mansion.

At this time, Zhang Hanqing had just got up and was still wearing a thick velvet nightgown.

After reading it twice, his face was full of disbelief... because he had always thought that Jiang Cheng wanted to use the money to replace weapons for the Fengtian Army.

“Yes, all of it is oil.”

This time, Jiang Cheng's face was full of seriousness. "After these years of development, the Kulun Industrial Zone, as well as the industrial zones in Jilin, Shuangchengzi and other places, can already independently produce weapons and equipment."

"But oil... is our blank area. In order to ensure future war preparedness needs, we must have enough oil!"

In fact, Northeast China also has its own oil fields, and Jiang Cheng even knows the exact location.

But once the war breaks out, how can he guarantee the safety there? Instead of doing this, it is better to import a large amount of goods and stockpile them.

I roughly explained the principle to Zhang Hanqing, who, after some deep thought, finally wrote the approval document.

Then he took out the seal and stood up. He said to Jiang Cheng solemnly: "Feilan, there is something I have been meaning to tell you."

"I plan to continue to station troops in the capital at the beginning of next spring."

Jiang Cheng was secretly shocked.

You--Could it be that you have been deceived by the bald man? Thinking of the future main force of the Northeast Army entering the customs, helping to fight but causing the three northeastern provinces to be robbed, his face suddenly sank and said: "Enter the customs, what for?"

The other party did not hide anything from him: "Enter the customs and maintain law and order."

"Nanjing said that as the highest official in the north, I have reason to stay in the capital... The world is not peaceful now, and the main force will be stationed in the future to ensure the safety of the Central Plains."

Safety you big watermelon.

Jiang Cheng wanted to curse——

He was deceived so easily and would help his "alliance brother" to fight Shi Yousan in the future. This trivial matter kept 200,000 Northeast Army troops trapped in the interior.

"I don't agree with this."

Jiang Cheng immediately expressed his attitude, "Whoever suggested you to enter the customs is trying to trick our Northeast Army!"

As he spoke, he explained the future situation to Zhang Hanqing one by one in a relatively restrained manner.

And told him, "Master Shuai has said many times that the Northeast is our home. Once we leave our territory, what is the difference between us and floating duckweed without attachment?"

"A tiger in troubled times will be bullied by dogs! I cannot agree to this... Besides, can't you see what Nanjing is planning to do? They are planning to use us as a pawn!"

Zhang Hanqing's face darkened: "I will go even if you disagree. Yes, that's it - but since I support the Three Principles of the People, that means I agree with unification. I am willing to maintain the stability of the Central Plains. If there is trouble in the Northeast in the future, Nanjing will definitely help us!"

"Can we alone resist the Japanese? Wouldn't it be better to have more friends to support us..."

You are so naive, even worse than Ye Hai’s son!
Jiang Cheng was almost laughing at his anger: "You simply misjudged the situation - Hanqing, I know you love this country. Maochen did teach you and me that the world will eventually unite after a long period of division."

"But you have to follow the general trend. Are the people you choose reliable? If you think Nanjing can help us fight the Japanese, you are totally wrong..."

"Think about it carefully. Such a big incident happened in Jinan that year, and countless people died in one go... My brother Hai Pingchuan was stabbed with more than a dozen bayonet holes in his body in order to resist the Japanese army. He shed his blood on that piece of homeland!"

"Does anyone support him? Apart from me, there are still people from Nanjing, Northwest Shanxi, Zhili and Henan - Pingchuan was also under the blue sky and broad daylight back then!"

At this point, Jiang Cheng became very excited again, "Hanqing, it's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. There is Shanhaiguan in the northeast... and it's too far away from Nanjing."

"Our rich land has long been a big piece of meat in the eyes of the Japanese. They have been coveting it for who knows how many years——"

"If you bring the main force into the pass, it will undoubtedly be..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Hanqing slammed the table and said, "Jiang Feilan! I want to ask you, who is in charge outside the pass? "

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

"I'm telling you, Jiang Feilan, don't think that just because you have made countless great contributions in the Northeast, you can surpass me!"

"Who is the commander-in-chief? Who is the leader? Even though the flag has changed, I am still the leader outside the Great Wall!"

Jiang Cheng sneered: "Yes, you are. But I have said before that everything I do is for the consideration of the Northeast - whether you are happy or not, I will say these words."

After saying this, he stared at the other person fiercely.

Within half a minute, Zhang Hanqing was defeated and sat down on the chair dejectedly: "You...are you going to go against me again?" (End of this chapter)
