The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

In just a few years, Chengye and Shengshi were both in their teens. Especially Ye Shengshi, he was taller than Zhang Tingxue, and his eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to Ye Hai's back then.

"Uncle Jiang, please don't ask me about my homework. I just need to know a few words! You are planning to let me go to college, too—"

Ye Shengshi immediately expressed his opinion, "Please let me follow you, let's go fight the Japs together!"

Hearing their eldest son clamoring to fight the Japanese, several children said they didn't want to study and wanted to fight the Japanese.

Jiang Cheng was not angry, but rather relieved. He said, "Okay, we'll need you when we fight the Japanese in the future," and winked at Hai Huixin.

He was very worried because he didn't see Cao Shiying during the meal: before the Japanese attack, Hai Pingchuan sent them mother and daughter out of the city.

"And the boy—all upstairs."

Hai Huixin looked at Jiang Cheng very sadly and sighed, "When I heard that my brother was protecting the baby boy in the end, I insisted on taking him in and raising him. I named him Xiaochuan and wanted to bring him up by myself to kill the devils and avenge him."

Jiang Cheng sighed: "It's hard for her."

Hai Huixin held his hand and said firmly: "If you want to fight the Japanese in the future, you must take me with you!"

"My marksmanship is no worse than my brother's, and I can ride a horse, too—Fei Lan, I hate them so much!"

Jiang Cheng gently held her in his arms, his heart... already immersed in the flames of war several years later.

"Okay, let's fight side by side and kill all the devils!"

…………

That night, before Jiang Cheng fell asleep, a secret report from Wu Taixun came from Qiqihar.

The telegram said he had uncovered an assassination case—

He had previously encountered an assassination attempt in the provincial capital, and in order not to alert the enemy, he chose to suppress the matter.

The matter was suppressed and no one else was told about it, but the relevant investigations were not reduced at all.

The telegram said that the interrogation of the captured assassin had led to a wide range of connections, pointing directly to the current Heilongjiang Province Governor Chang Yinhuai.

"He is so impatient that he thinks that if he kills You Quan, he can control the military power himself?"

Jiang Cheng held the secret report sent by Sun Zhengnan in his hand, and his words were filled with resentment.

This is not the first move, but a series of unexpected things:
This guy named Chang is even more radical than Yang Yuting. He can't restrain himself. What he does is so superficial that he doesn't take other forces in the Northeast seriously at all.

"Master Jiang, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Sun Zhengnan stood straight in front of him, "This is so dangerous. If something happens to Youquan, this Chang guy will most likely take over the power of Heilongjiang Province. By then, all our investment in Heilongjiang Province will be used to help this guy."

Jiang Cheng nodded silently, then frowned and said, "Not only that, part of the industrial relocation...will be transferred to Heilongjiang Province. If Chang gets involved, it will affect my big plan."

He knew very well that even if he had tanks and cannons, most of Jilin’s territory would be a battlefield filled with smoke.

The best option is to transfer the manufacturing-oriented part to Kulun, and the light industry, ammunition supply, etc. to Heilongjiang Province.

By then, the front line will be set up in Zhengjiatun, Siping, and we will hold off the Japanese invaders coming from Yanji, Ji'an and other places. With continuous blood transfusions from Heilongjiang and Menggu, we can beat these bastards to the point of pissing blood.

But all of this depends on him and Wu Taixun's control over the entire Heilongjiang Province. Once this guy named Chang messes things up, they will be in trouble!

At this moment, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt murderous.

"It's impossible to keep him alive." Staring at the telegram that weighed a thousand pounds, a hint of murderous intent appeared in his dark eyes.

…………

May 1nd, afternoon.

Two telegrams summoned Yang Chang and the other man to the Tiger Hall in the Marshal's Mansion to discuss matters. However, they did not wait for the new king outside the Great Wall, but instead faced the cold muzzles of guns from Wu Dongyun, Zhao Xishun and others.

Yang Yuting looked back in astonishment at his adjutant Lin Feng, who had helped them open the door and was standing "on guard" at the door. Only then did he realize from his shock that his life might be coming to an end.

Two gunshots were heard from Tiger Hall, and Zhang Hanqing personally wrote a letter to the families of Yang Chang and Yang Chang:
My friendship with my neighbor Ge is so deep, like that of a brother. But for the sake of the country, I have been entrusted with the task of ruling the country and handling matters outside the Great Wall, so I cannot consider personal feelings.

In addition, Zhang Hanqing ordered Lin Feng to send 10,000 silver dollars in consolation money to the Yang and Chang families. He also sent a letter to his eldest son Yang Chunyuan who was studying in France, giving him consolation money and asking him to study with peace of mind.

After the two were killed, Jiang Cheng was entrusted by Zhang Hanqing to meet Xinshuai Sun Chuanfang.

When the latter heard about this, they repeatedly praised the young marshal for his courage and vision, saying that he could accomplish great things. They also repeatedly said that if he wanted to secure his rule over the country, how could he do so without killing a few people?
But he left Jiang Cheng and fled back to Dalian in a panic...But when he learned that Sun Chuanfang had left without saying goodbye, Zhang Hanqing didn't take it seriously, and even laughed at how dignified Xin Shuai could be so timid.

…………

As time went on, Jilin's industrial relocation to the north was progressing step by step. However, on the second day after Jiang Cheng arrived in Harbin to take charge of his work, he was assassinated while inspecting Central Avenue with Jiang Dengxuan.

But this assassination is really quite dramatic.

As soon as I got off the bus, a dozen tall and thin young men rushed out from the Russian store across the street.

The weapons they had were very amateurish. Only two of them were wielding earth spray guns, and the rest were using kitchen knives, sticks, farm tools and the like... So the "assassination" was suppressed by the guards led by Han Ming almost as soon as it began.

Jiang Dengxuan was so frightened that his face almost turned pale.

Knowing that Jiang Cheng was coming to Central Street, he deliberately ordered the patrol team to conduct a thorough search, and no suspicious persons were seen nearby:

God knows how these assassins sneaked in, and how they could have scouted the area in advance and known that Jiang Cheng was coming here.

"Master Jiang, I am incompetent! I frightened you... I, I failed in my duty!"

Jiang Dengxuan kept apologizing, but before he gave the order to take the assassins away and execute them, Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Wait!"

After saying this, he stepped forward with his hands behind his back, pushed aside the two guards blocking his way, and lowered his eyes slightly to examine these assassins.

"What assassins? Aren't these - just students?"

Jiang Cheng's face turned dark.

Aren’t you a student?

And it wasn't just male students, there were also pretty female students with two big braids.

Jiang Cheng was naturally very surprised: he had worked hard to govern the country over the years and believed that he had been very good to the people... and the feedback from the grassroots people had always been very good.

Why did these students want to assassinate him?

Before he could even open his mouth to ask a question, a male student, under the pressure of two guards, still raised his head stubbornly and shouted at Jiang Cheng: "Jiang! I think you are a hypocrite!"

"I have always loved the people like my own children, but who would have thought that I was actually such a shameless - ahem, shameless villain!"

After he finished speaking, the students became excited and raised their heads to curse at him. (End of this chapter)
