The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

“Yeah, this is the most difficult part for me.”

Wu Taixun pretended to be stupid, "Well, it's difficult for my Heilongjiang Province - it's located in the border area, the climate is very cold, and the population and development are not as good as Feng Province in the south."

"And Jilin has access to the sea, a port, and the favor of Marshal Zhang... Now Marshal Zhang also appreciates Jiang Feilan more than me, Wu Youquan!"

"Think about it, this is difficult—"

As he spoke, he smacked his lips and stole a glance at the two devils' reactions, then continued, "Hey, I'm the governor of this place, responsible for the entire Heilongjiang Province. So many people, so many soldiers, and such a large territory, all on my narrow shoulders!"

"It's difficult - we Chinese have a saying that when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!"

His words were intended to guide the Japanese to make conditions for him... Listen, the people of my territory, my soldiers, all did not fall out with Jiang Cheng because we "had to" cooperate with him.

If you Japanese can help me, I will definitely cooperate with you.

"Commander Wu, there is no need to worry."

Kawamoto Daisaku leaned forward slightly and said to him in an alluring tone, "In this world, there are many ways to grow and develop... Jilin, your neighbor, is a way of cooperation."

"But, I know another way, which should make you more comfortable!"

Having said that, he did not wait for Wu Taixun to express his opinion, but could not wait to continue, "Commander Wu just mentioned the Chinese saying. I know that in your country, there is another saying, which is that he who knows the times is a hero."

"The so-called current affairs are to see clearly the gains and losses of each other; and our Great Japanese Empire, whether in terms of economy, trade, military, or industrial capacity, is far stronger than Jiang Cheng's side, right?"

"Besides, Commander Wu, you are not comfortable working with him, so why not give it some thought?"

Wu Taixun opened his mouth wide and said, "What! You mean, you want me to cooperate with you Japanese?"

After saying this, he pretended to jump up excitedly, slammed the table and shouted: "How can this be possible? Let alone other things, our commander-in-chief Zhang Hanqing has such a bad temper. If he knew that I was cooperating with you Japanese, he would definitely dismiss me as the commander-in-chief and investigate me."

"Don't say it's impossible. This is bound to happen. Look, since the Blue Sky and White Sun flag was raised, no one in our Northeast Army will stand on your side anymore."

"Although there is no hostility, everyone knows that the higher-ups do not allow us to cooperate with Japan."

Kawamoto Daisaku smiled mysteriously: "Captain Wu, you don't have to worry about this. Since we dare to win you over to cooperate, we can definitely guarantee that in addition to greatly promoting your development, we can also guarantee your safety."

"After all, you don't know who else is cooperating with the Empire right now... right?"

Wu Taixun's face twitched slightly, and he looked back at the other party in astonishment: "You mean, I just didn't know about it, but in fact, there are still many people in our Northeast Army who cooperate with you Japanese?"

The other party did not comment, but just showed a slightly profound smile.

"This……"

Wu Taixun rolled his eyes and calmly sat down on the high-back chair.

Finally, he extended his right hand to the other party, "Then now, we are partners."…………

After a tug of war, the two devils left contentedly... The test was successful. Although there were no substantive negotiations today and no conditions were set, Kawamoto Daisaku was very sure that his idea was correct.

As the two of them left, Jiang Cheng, who had been hiding in the inner room, came out with a smile on his face: "I say, Governor Wu, I haven't seen you for a few years. Your acting skills have improved a lot, hahaha!"

Wu Taixun curled his lips and rolled his eyes at him: "I say don't think of me for this kind of 'good thing' in the future, find someone else to play the role!"

"But I really don't understand. What exactly is your brother trying to do? Is he trying to cheat the Japanese out of some benefits, or... is he trying to take this opportunity to find out who is working with the Japanese?"

At this time, Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Neither of them - as for the loan, the Japanese obviously can't get much benefit out of it. Think about it, they can use this opportunity to kill your father and Master, so they will probably want to get rid of me as well."

"The fact that they were looking for the bandits on Dajia Mountain is very telling... They were willing to resort to such despicable tactics, which shows that the Japanese were desperate."

Facing Wu Taixun's confused eyes, Jiang Cheng continued, "The bandits near Qiqihar must be completely eliminated in the near future - and at the same time, we have to release a smoke bomb for the devils, that is, you and I are not in harmony, so that the devils can relax their vigilance."

"Once this happens, they will do everything they can to sow discord between you and me. In this way, you can keep making demands on them."

Wu Taixun looked at Jiang Cheng in confusion: "Make a condition? Could it be like what Master Shuai did before?"

Jiang Cheng nodded with a smile: "Besides that, I want you to find out from them what the garrison outside Qiqihar is all about."

"We have to find ways to make the devils suffer a little."

…………

The next day, when meeting with the Japanese again, Wu Taixun took the initiative to say: I heard that the houses of the garrison outside Qiqihar City were severely damaged, and he wanted to send some bricklayers to help them repair the houses.

The severe winter in Heilongjiang Province was accompanied by heavy snow, which was fatal to the damage to houses.

Now that spring has quietly arrived and the ice is thawing, every household is repairing their houses. These devils have actually been thinking about this for a long time, but they are reluctant to spend the money and can't find anyone reliable.

Now General Wu actually took the initiative to propose it, which made Gao Muhui very happy.

"This...is not good!"

Although he was happy in his heart, this guy still put on airs. "Although there is damage to the house, it is not to the extent that repairs are necessary. You know, in recent years, the Empire has been cutting military spending year after year due to Yamanashi Hanzo's proposal to reduce military forces. We, our funds for repairing the house are very tight."

These devils want to repair their houses, but they don’t want to pay, right?

Wu Taixun knew their ulterior motives, so he smiled and said, "Since it was me who proposed to help your army repair the house, I will definitely bear all the expenses and personnel."

"Tsk tsk, don't worry, the people I find here are definitely top-notch experts... and the ingredients are definitely the best."

At this point, he added very seriously, "Since we want to cooperate, I must prove my sincerity - why not start with this?" (End of this chapter)
