The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"No, in his eyes, my loyalty and bravery... is probably just a pretense for some ulterior motive, right?"

Jiang Cheng made it clear now, "Hanqing, how long have we been brothers? How long have you known that talent?"

"You believe him, but not me, right? Okay, because I am capable and because I was promoted, you should not believe me, but what about Brother Feng and Youquan? Are there more brothers in the Northeast or in the interior?"

"I'm just saying this clearly. Don't think that just because those people give you some benefits, you can really treat them as brothers. In the future, you have to get back every bit of benefits they give you from our Northeast Army."

I know that I talk too much and the other party can't actually listen.

But Jiang Cheng also understood that even though he and the Jiang family had greatly improved over the years, if the main force of Feng Province was transferred to the interior by this prodigal boy, it would be much more difficult for them to fight against the Kwantung Army.

"Feilan, please speak nicely and don't get angry over nothing."

Seeing that the two young men were angry, Zhang Zuoxiang persuaded them with an embarrassed look, "Actually, what Feilan said makes sense. It's all for the sake of the Northeast!"

"If you transfer the main force to the interior, who will really come to help if there is trouble in the Northeast in the future? You can't count on Nanjing... they can't even..."

The other party interrupted him rudely: "Uncle, please stop talking--"

"In fact, I know in my heart that, not to mention you, even my own brother has always felt that I am not a big shot and that I became the governor of the North only by taking advantage of my father, right?"

There was really no point in talking to each other. Jiang Cheng glared at him, turned around, angrily opened the door of the inner room and walked out, which made him even more angry and kept cursing behind him, "Look, look, these people really don't take me seriously."

How much have we done to fight against the Japanese in Northeast China?

I understand. You also want to use these outsiders to deal with the Japanese...but have you ever thought about whether they are reliable?
I am not strong enough, how can I rely on outsiders to do it?

It is true that according to what he did later, he was indeed concerned about the Northeast, but it is also an indisputable fact that he misjudged the situation.

Haha, your brother is not wrong, it’s true that you have been to the battlefield and risked your life, but if you hadn’t been born into such a good family, could you really have become the governor of the north?

Let's not talk about anything else, just compare it to how your father risked his life in the past - now Nanjing just makes a move and you fall for it, and I don't know how many disasters will be planted for the future of Northeast China...

"Master Jiang."

Han Ming's voice suddenly interrupted Jiang Cheng's thoughts. He then realized that he had walked a long way in anger.

"how?"

Looking back at his personal bodyguard, he turned his gaze behind him and pursed his lips slightly.

Jiang Cheng turned around suddenly and was shocked to find that the elegant and refined Fourth Miss had chased him out at some point:
When she faced me, she paused and looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Miss Zhao, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Cheng suppressed his anger and asked the question in a soft and calm tone as possible.

"Captain Jiang - can I talk to you?"

…………

It is just after Qingming Festival when all things come back to life. The back garden of the Marshal's Mansion in the capital is already full of greenery, and the apricot blossoms are in full bloom.

The two walked side by side, neither of them spoke first.

"I heard that you and Han Qing are the same age, and you went to private school together in the Marshal's Mansion when you were young. Later, you studied at the Military Academy together and carried guns together, right?" The fourth lady finally spoke first, but her questions were all about homely matters.

It seems that you want to resolve the awkward situation and then act as a lobbyist for your man, right?
Jiang Cheng has never been fooled by the "honey trap" and answered absent-mindedly, saying that when he was studying, the Marshal's Office selected some young people of the same age in the Fengtian Army. His father was under Feng Delin in the 28th Division and was close to Feng Yong, so he went to study together.

"So you two are brothers for life, right?"

The fourth young lady suddenly stopped, tilted her head beside him, squinted her eyes and smiled, "I really always heard Han Qing say that he actually admires you very much--"

"You grew up together. You have more military achievements than him, you have more soldiers under your command, and you have more officers willing to follow you into battle."

Jiang Cheng made a "stop" gesture and smiled faintly: "Miss Zhao, if you have anything to say, why not tell Fei Lan directly? Do you want me to support him, or do you want to tell me what Han Qing is struggling with?"

The reason for his hardship is probably that he is taking advantage of others and is not able to repay them. The military funds were fully paid, and he was also promised to help him eliminate the Japanese invaders outside the Great Wall in the future...

"That was not what I meant."

The fourth young lady shook her head and sighed, "I don't understand your men's affairs, whether it's fighting wars, managing the Northeast, or managing the interior."

"But I understand Han Qing - I know that in his eyes, there are too many people who are more dazzling than him. He became the chief commander of the North by stepping on the military exploits of people like you!"

"He knows in his heart that if he doesn't fight a decent battle to prove himself, there will always be people who will not submit to him...Brother Feilan, I know you men have your own considerations, but I just hope that you can keep an eye on him this time, okay?"

"I think Han Qing can definitely prove himself and fight a good fight!"

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and stared coldly at the other person's eager eyes.

At this moment, the fourth young lady felt as if she had received an electric shock. She withdrew her hands from his arms and stammered, "I... was rash!"

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath: "If he wants to prove himself, he might as well return to the Northeast as soon as possible and run his own business well, which is much better than fighting in this Central Plains War."

"Master Shuai once said that the water inside the pass is deep and muddy - but he eventually forgot what he said and was almost drowned in the muddy water."

"But if the devils hadn't attacked him, Marshal Zhang would have become a big shot outside the Great Wall by now—"

At this point, Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled, "But what can I say? No matter how much I say, I can't stop Han Qing, but he can't stop me, right?"

"It's his business if Feng Jun wants to enter the country, and it's also his business if he wants to prove himself... Miss Zhao, I'll tell him something through your mouth. This is what the commander told me back then:"

"The Northeast is our home, and the area outside the Great Wall is our territory - if anyone wants to covet it, we will make sure they never come back!"

After saying this, Jiang Cheng took out the gold pen that the Marshal had given him from his inner pocket and gently placed it in the fourth young lady's hand.

"I won't say goodbye to him."

Jiang Cheng looked back at her and said indifferently but firmly, "I'm going back to Jilin... The rest of the way, unless he is willing to go back to the Northeast!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the corridor. From a distance, Zhao Xishun looked at him with a sad face, but he bit his lip and looked at Zhang Hanqing who was standing in the backlight.

"Really, you don't want to keep him?"

Hearing this, Zhang Hanqing was startled: "Forget it, let him go back and keep an eye on the Northeast——"

"With him and my uncle here, I can rest assured about the things outside the Great Wall... No matter how good I am, I am not as good as him, right? Even my father said so—" (End of this chapter)
