The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"Haha, speaking of the last time we met, it should have been at Mr. Shuai's Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, right?"

Jiang Cheng was very polite to him. "During the Spring Festival family dinner, I was in charge of work in Jinzhou. Alas, who would have thought that it would be the last reunion dinner with Mr. Shuai!"

"I feel really bad. The murderer who murdered Mr. Shuai has not been caught yet—"

The hearts of Shinta Mahara and Yuichi Yasuda skipped a beat almost at the same time.

In fact, they both knew that Jiang Cheng was most likely aware that the people who murdered Marshal Zhang were the Japanese.

This layer of window paper has not been broken yet. Perhaps it is because the current situation in Northeast China is stuck in a very strange balance... Now, no one can directly break this balance.

"Yes! None of us feel good about the departure of the Marshal, and we also ask Commander Jiang to express our condolences."

Shinta Shinhara ended the topic very simply and said, "Captain Jiang, I came here today because of a misunderstanding—"

"The two major newspapers in Harbin have written headlines about our great country of Japan, saying that we are creating trouble in the local area and destroying the friendship between the two countries... This is completely false!"

"You ordered the newspapers to write nonsense like this. Is that any different from letting a dog bite someone? As if... this is what would destroy our friendship?"

Jiang Chengxin sneered:
I knew that you Japanese were good at biting people - and you still said that I released the dogs to bite you. Now you should figure out who is the dog.

"Hehe, in Jilin, newspapers, magazines and other media are relatively free individuals... To be honest, I have very little control over them."

Jiang Cheng rejected it outright, "It's normal for a writer to complain and curse in a newspaper."

"Besides, I've read the entire manuscript. The wording is quite tactful, and the author also claims that these things are his personal speculations. How did he say that? Oh, by the way... any similarities are purely coincidental!"

Zhenyuan Xintai almost laughed out of anger: What a great sentence! Any similarity is purely coincidental!
The newspaper was so full of nonsense that it was comparable to a storytelling book. In addition to describing scenes and actions, it even extended to long sections of psychological activities. It was written so damn immersive -

It's as if the writer is really in the situation, a participant... and you still say it's too euphemistic?!
How do you want to write it? Just ask the printing factory to work overtime and publish a book!

"Whether it is euphemistic or not is another matter, but the key point is that this kind of inexplicable speculation really puts us under a lot of pressure."

Shinta Mahara suppressed his anger and continued in a steady tone, "We still hope that you can personally publish a notice in these two newspapers to clarify the matter. In addition, please severely punish the author of this article."

Jiang Cheng was also angry at this time.

I've already had someone write it out, and you want me to take it back? I have to do this myself.

Also, what do you mean by severely punishing the author of this article? Are you planning to arrest him and execute him?
Jiang Cheng folded his elbows and said, "I'm busy with official duties. I don't have time to do this."

After saying this, he leaned back lazily, "Whether to clarify or not is up to the people. We both know who is the one who carried out the espionage operation in Harbin."

"If you Japanese are really that clean, then even if I, Jiang Cheng, pour dirty water, it will still be very clean, right?"

Shinta Mahara was immediately furious: "Captain Jiang, what do you mean?"

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at him: "Literally."

Staring back at him with gnashed teeth, the confidant continued to press: "There is another thing. We received a tip that you borrowed money from us not to purchase arms, but to buy a batch of oil from the United States."

"Also, I heard that you have no intention of paying back the money, right?" Jiang Cheng acted shocked: "Mr. Zhenyuan, I think your imagination is several times better than the person who wrote this report!"

"If I don't pay back the money, where will my reputation be? Think about it, Northeast China has a free trade zone and a cooperative port. If I default on my debt, who will dare to do business with me in the future?"

"Besides, if I don't pay you back, will your country, with its powerful ships and artillery, still allow me to do whatever I want?"

"But then again, you're really interesting... I lent me the money, so why do you care so much about what I do with it?"

"Even if I use it to marry eighteen concubines, it's my own will, right?"

Shinta Mahara knew that he was no match for the young man in front of him when it came to talking, so he simply acted like a rogue: "Well, if Commander Jiang insists on not clarifying this matter, then the General Staff will be very disappointed."

"I'm afraid that cooperation between us will soon turn into confrontation, or even hatred and confrontation."

Jiang Cheng scratched his ears and smiled like a scoundrel: "Are you threatening me?"

The two Japanese were stunned at the same time:
Because this smile looks too familiar! This, this is almost exactly the same as the old fox back then.

The evil aura, revealing shrewdness and calculation... made the two Japanese, who had known they had been taken advantage of before, suddenly feel a chill.

Yuichi Yasuda was winking at the other person.

"Why should we actually turn to a confrontation, Commander Jiang?"

Shinta Mahara's tone soon softened, "In fact, cooperation is in our mutual interests."

"In terms of water transportation, we can guarantee trade, and there is a wide market waiting for us to open up... In addition, we have said before that we can help the Northeast Front move south to truly unify China."

Jiang Cheng simply didn't respond to such words: "That's not my turn, Jiang Cheng. It's my young master's business."

At this point, he simply revealed his true colors, "But the current situation is really hard to say: the murderer who killed the Marshal and my Master Wu has not been found yet..."

"Haha, if we find them, I think some people will not only have problems with cooperation, but I'm afraid - hey, why am I saying this, Mr. Zhenyuan is definitely not such a despicable and shameless villain, right?"

This is totally unacceptable.

Shinta Mahara glared at Jiang Cheng, his chest rising and falling with anger... He understood everything:
Even though the murder was committed by their military, the boy in front of him was planning to hold all of them Japanese accountable.

Jiang Cheng half raised his face and sneered: "So, for what Mr. Zhenyuan wants, I think it's better to exchange it for equal value."

"For example, we should be frank and honest. If we want to cooperate, we have to show each other our cards and discuss how to play them."

What he said was clearly telling Shinta Mahara that no matter what you Japanese are planning to do, it is better to do it openly.

If you want to play dirty tricks on me, I’ll really fight you!

Yasuda Yuichi licked his lips and gave the other person a guilty look. (End of this chapter)
