The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Jiang Cheng was not surprised because he had heard of these things in later generations.

"Dad, what do you think this money is?"

As he walked forward, he snorted and laughed, "To put it bluntly, this money is for buying lives!"

Zhang Zuoxiang was stunned, stopped and looked at his son-in-law in surprise.

"You have to be clear about what you say, right, Dad?"

Jiang Cheng bared his teeth and smiled even more happily, "Otherwise, there are always some idiots who have illusions and think that Nanjing can help us deal with the Japanese."

Zhang Zuoxiang was at a loss for words for a moment... because he knew very well that there were more than one or two "idiots" as his son-in-law referred to in the Northeast.

Besides, the biggest of these fools is the person they are about to meet.

"Don't say this to anyone else in the future."

Zhang Zuoxiang took a deep breath and said this, then walked into the reception room with his hands clasped behind his back.

Jiang Cheng worked with him. After two cups of tea and a break, Zhang Zuoxiang spoke to him softly about the recent situation.

Compared to the chaos in the south, the capital was relatively peaceful.

It is obvious that the people who are most eager to cause trouble nowadays are the Japanese.

Because all the conditions that the Marshal had promised before his death were delayed, not to mention the road construction, even some mines and forests in Fengtian Province were taken back;
"The Japanese also wanted to cause trouble in Harbin before... They planned to create some chaos, and then send troops in the name of protecting overseas Chinese—"

Jiang Cheng finished explaining the whole story and added, "But the devils themselves should also consider this."

Zhang Zuoxiang was worried: "Yes, I was in a hurry to come to the capital because of this matter."

"The Japanese say the situation is unstable and have sent more troops to Liaodong. There are also moves in Japanese-controlled Korea. Feilan, my suggestion is that we should let Hanqing return to the Northeast to discuss this matter with Honjo Shigeru and the others."

Jiang Cheng said nothing.

Among the brothers that the Marshal swore an oath of brotherhood, the most loyal ones were Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang.

But in terms of various abilities, Zhang Zuoxiang is far inferior to Sun Liechen - and his personality is relatively conservative and gentle. Even in this situation that has already tended to a confrontation, Zhang Zuoxiang is still thinking about negotiation.

Moreover, let Zhang Hanqing go back to negotiate!

"Dad, the Japanese don't just want to fight. The most important thing now is that they want to occupy Northeast China and even China!"

At this point, Jiang Cheng's tone became a little excited. "Think about what they have done in Northeast China over the years. They all want to take away everything in Northeast China?"

"Besides, it's self-evident who killed the Marshal. If we still have illusions about the Japanese, we'd be sorry for the Marshal, if nothing else."

Just as he was saying this, Zhang Hanqing's rhythmic voice came from the corridor: "Who said that I'm going to let my father down?"

The two turned around at the same time, saw the highest northern officer, and then stood up to greet him...

Zhang Zuoxiang laughed and said, "Well, just talking about the Japanese - everyone knows that Marshal Yu was killed by the Japanese, and they always think about this blood feud."

Zhang Hanqing glanced at Jiang Cheng, but did not respond. Instead, he turned around, lifted the door curtain, winked at the open hall, and then stretched out his right hand and pulled a beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress into the room. Is this Miss Zhao Si?
Jiang Cheng was slightly startled, and looked at the other person meaningfully:

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a slightly loose light blue cheongsam and a white crocheted shawl decorated with small pearls. The exquisite accessories not only made her look radiant, but also made her look more bright and charming.

The situation is so chaotic now, you are just picking up girls inside the country, right?

As if sensing his good brother's displeasure, Zhang Hanqing actually began to introduce beauties... Jiang Cheng shrugged his nose and said, "I know this is also my sister-in-law. Apart from anything else, your vision is really impeccable."

"It's just that the assistant commander and I have something important to discuss with you right now - the current situation in the Northeast."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Hanqing interrupted him: "Wang Yize has explained the situation in the Northeast to me one by one. The Japanese have been under our noses for so many years, but nothing serious has happened!"

"The key thing that is threatened now is the situation inside the Great Wall. After much thought, I think we have to enter the Great Wall, otherwise this war will be unstoppable!"

This time, Zhang Zuobi was much more active than Jiang Cheng: "Hanqing, this doesn't make sense--"

"No matter how many things happen inside the pass, they are all Baldy's business. Why should we interfere?"

Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and thought to himself: This time I've really been hit by a sugar-coated bullet! Then I'm going to enter the pass and help him fight the Central Plains War, and then Feng Province will have no main force at all, right?
"Assuming we enter the country, who will be responsible for the defense of Northeast China?"

Jiang Cheng was still angry, "Han Qing, why can't you recognize the situation?"

"How many times have I said in Fengtian before that they cannot enter the pass, they cannot enter the pass... Once the Northeast Army enters the pass, let alone who will defend the rear, think about it, what is the difference between the Northeast Army entering the pass and rootless duckweed?"

"How could you believe what Jiang said?!"

Zhang Hanqing's face sank. "What do I believe? Jiang Feilan, you need to clarify your identity. I know you are powerful and have a large territory. Large tracts of territory outside the Great Wall have been taken away by your Jiang family. You have the support of your uncle, so you don't take me seriously now, right?"

"I'm telling you, the Northern Chief Commander is me, my last name is Zhang! My last name is not Jiang yet!"

Jiang Cheng never expected the other party's reaction to be so big. He was slightly startled and then laughed.

He raised his right hand to signal Zhang Zuoxiang beside him to keep quiet, and sneered, "Oh, it sounds like someone is trying to sow discord between us brothers in front of you."

Clearly seeing a trace of guilt in Zhang Hanqing's eyes, Jiang Cheng continued to press on and said, "It seems that I was right!"

"But you are right. In fact, from the perspective of a master, my Jiang Cheng's achievements and strength are indeed greater than your Zhang family..."

Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly became nervous: "Fei Lan!"

Jiang Cheng seemed not to hear it, and continued to pursue the victory and said: "But not only me, Jiang Cheng, but also the Jiang family behind me, have they ever rebelled for a day?"

"From the time Marshal entered Fengtian in 16, to the two Zhi-Fengtian movements, and Guo Songling and Feng Yuxiang's rebellion against Fengtian, every time did my family not take the initiative to stand up?"

"Rather than saying that those are my Jiang family's territories, it's better to say that we are just leading the people to protect that piece of heaven and earth!"

Zhang Hanqing was speechless after hearing his words. He avoided his gaze and said nothing. Miss Zhao Si beside him quickly tried to smooth things over, "Chief Jiang, you also know Hanqing's temper... This, this is just a conversation."

"In fact, Han Qing has been thinking of you all these days, and often said: You are the most loyal and capable among these brothers. If it weren't for you and your son, I'm afraid the Northeast would not be stable!" (End of this chapter)
