The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

After a while, he lowered his head again, sighed miserably and shook his head: "Feilan...even you want to go against me?"

Jiang Cheng said nothing.

But he knew the weight of this sentence: the brothers who had been classmates and carried guns together in the past, some were dead and some were traitors.

There are already only a few people left who can fight alongside him and give him firm support.

"I'm not going against you. I've always said: no matter what we do, it's for the benefit of us outside the Great Wall and for the benefit of all the people."

Jiang Cheng spoke to the young commander-in-chief in a rare firm tone, "I have also said that no matter who it is...if he does something that is not in the interests of the Northeast and the public, he is my enemy, Jiang Cheng!"

This was the first time he used such harsh words to Zhang Hanqing.

The stare lasted for half a minute, and the other party finally sighed: "In your opinion, my entry into the customs... is contrary to the interests of the Northeast?"

"But have you ever thought about it? There are so many internal and external troubles now. How can we solve this problem without bringing in more forces?"

Jiang Cheng said calmly: "I still say the same thing, it is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else... If someone is not convinced, just beat him up."

Zhang Hanqing propped his chin up with his hand, looking distressed and said, "In fact, it's not just you, even my uncle and the third uncle said the same thing—"

"Especially Uncle Three, he was holding a walking stick and almost hit me on the head when he got angry."

Jiang Cheng looked back at him silently.

Among this group of old guys, the one who can match the Marshal in terms of mental ability and vision is Feng Delin.

This is also the reason why I tried to help him survive until now... With him in charge of Fengtian, the old faction is at least half as stable;

If we stabilize the new faction, the possibility of chaos in the Northeast Army will be minimized.

"Well, since you all don't agree with me going, I won't go."

Zhang Hanqing finally said something soft, "But I still have to go to the capital to do something."

After saying this, he gently passed by Jiang Cheng and called Wu Dongyun to walk towards the gate.

Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment, then blurted out, "Is it for Miss Zhao Si?"

Suddenly turning back to look at Jiang Cheng, the latter's face completely darkened: "I said, are you meddling too much? Why are you becoming more and more like your father-in-law... This is not good."

Having said this, isn't it a tacit agreement?

Jiang Cheng simply shut up: Okay, at least he has given up the idea of ​​leading the main force into the pass.

Following him out of the study, Jiang Cheng said that the situation in Fengtian had gradually stabilized recently, and with the considerable amount of loan, it was unlikely that Japan would cause trouble.

He handed over the affairs at hand to Zhang Zuoxiang, and the military power was temporarily handled by Feng Yong. He planned to go to Harbin as some trade needed to be negotiated in person.

In fact, they were rushing back to promote the relocation of Jilin's industry to the north and to speed up the construction of Heilongjiang.

The number of the Kwantung Army in Fengtian Province is too large. The most important thing is that, except for Zhang Zuoxiang, Feng Delin, and Sun Jiunian, who are considered the "regular troops" under his control, the others are very likely to have been infiltrated by the Japanese.

It is unlikely that Jiang Cheng would arrest all these officers. This would undoubtedly undermine the foundation of the Northeast Army and would instead provoke even greater changes.

It would be better to return to Jilin as soon as possible to make arrangements, because time is getting closer.

"Going back to Jilin at this time? Uncle hasn't been feeling well lately... I also want to go to Beijing for a while, and I'm worried about you without me."

Looking back at his slightly uneasy expression, Jiang Cheng said that besides Zhang Zuoxiang, there was also his son Tinglan. Moreover, communication and transportation were convenient nowadays. If there was any problem, he could just fly directly from Harbin back to Fengtian. "By the way, Hanqing, don't take the train or bus to Beijing this time--"

Jiang Cheng winked at him and smiled, "I ordered three commercial aircraft from the Americans, and one of them is yours... as a birthday present for you!"

"Haha, it's a little late, but it's my gift to you, brother."

When he heard the word "birthday", his expression clearly changed a little.

"I know you just changed your birthday because of Mr. Shuai."

Looking at his slightly gloomy face, Jiang Cheng continued, "I have a child named Shengshi. His father was killed by the devils on his birthday."

"And think about it, what was the old coach most afraid of when he was alive? What was he most worried about? And if he were still alive, what would he want us to do?"

He did not continue speaking, but left the words unsaid.

He knew the other party's temperament very well, and forcing him too hastily would have the opposite effect.

"I understand. Once everything is done, return to Fengtian as soon as possible. We—"

At this point, Zhang Hanqing turned around and smiled at him, "Let's work together to revive the Northeast."

…………

On the second day after Zhang Hanqing entered the customs, Jiang Cheng flew to Kulun on a special plane from Fengtian Airport.

After landing, Xu Shuzheng, Yang Yucheng and local senior officials came forward to greet him. Everyone gathered around and laughed, sweeping away the depression Jiang Cheng had been feeling for the past few days.

"Pingchuan's incident was too sudden—"

When they arrived at the Governor's Mansion in Kulun, Yang Yucheng poured Jiang Cheng a cup of Elaeagnus angustifolia tea. "After all, we have been brothers for many years. We didn't even see him off."

The right hand holding the teacup paused slightly, but he smiled calmly in the next moment: "It's a thoughtful gesture... I've said we've been brothers for many years, I believe Pingchuan won't care about these."

When the news reached Northeast China, Xu Shuzheng had actually gone straight to Jilin Prefecture with several officials, and on behalf of Kulun, they presented funeral rites to Hai Huixin.

"Hey, it's me on the other hand. It's been over half a year, and I haven't gone back to see them... I'm a man!"

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Xu Shuzheng hurriedly bowed and said, "We also know that you, Mr. Jiang, are busy with official business, so that's why you went to Jilin Prefecture--"

"It is certain that my sister-in-law feels bad, but she knows in her heart that sacrificing her own family is for the sake of everyone."

Of course Jiang Cheng understood that part of what he said was out of courtesy, but he had been feeling guilty towards Hai Huixin for a long time.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Shu Zheng Yu Cheng, I came to Mengbei this time to announce a big plan."

Seeing the two of them quickly exchange glances, Jiang Cheng rubbed his hands and finished the second half of the sentence, "I plan to move north!"

Yang Yucheng asked first: "Are you going to take over all the industries in Jilin?"

Jiang Cheng turned slightly and winked at Han Ming who was standing not far away. The latter immediately stood at attention, turned around, and got a map from the accompanying civil servant Guan Zhiyuan.

Yang and Xu stood up with Jiang Cheng and walked towards the conference table. Then a large map that was two meters long and one meter wide unfolded in front of them.

"I mobilized two staff officers from the General Staff Headquarters and Zhiyuan to draw this together." (End of this chapter)
