The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Knowing that his boss was an impatient person, Li Guiqi quickly told him everything that happened.

Because they wanted to investigate whether the Chamber of Commerce had any collusion with the Japanese, the Snow Fox members brought to Qiqihar immediately went to the Specie Bank in the city to begin their investigation.

The process was certainly troublesome, but since the people brought in were all experts among the Snow Foxes, they naturally succeeded in the investigation.

In fact, as early as when Jiang Cheng just started to cooperate with Wu Junsheng, the Japanese withdrew a large amount of gold and had dealings with many officials and wealthy businessmen in Qiqihar.

Even the Wu family was bribed by them——

Over the years, many people, including Wu Junsheng, Mi Zhongjing, Han Jingming, Feng Jingchang... and even Lin Xiaoyue's biological father, have profited from the Japanese invaders.

"You mean, the death of Lin Xiaoyue's father was most likely caused by the uneven distribution of spoils by the Chamber of Commerce?"

After listening to the other party's analysis, Jiang Cheng rubbed his chin and said while thinking, "Then I understand. No wonder Lin Xiaoyue looks so reluctant."

Li Guiqi nodded and continued, "Mr. Jiang, your guess is correct. People in the Lin residence said that their master's illness was very strange, and neither the traditional Chinese medicine doctors in the provincial capital nor the foreign hospitals could do anything about it. "

"He couldn't even speak, he just kept howling because he was afraid of water. He died of illness in two or three days... Afterwards, the city's coroner came to check and said it might be rabies."

The so-called mad dog disease is what modern people call rabies.

According to Li Guiqi's description of the symptoms, Mr. Lin was howling and afraid of water, which was indeed a rabies attack.

But it was really too strange that such a wealthy businessman suddenly developed rabies and died just like that.

"After investigation, we found out that there is a cloth merchant named Sang in the Chamber of Commerce. He said that the Lin family's business has been growing bigger and bigger in recent years, and his reputation in Qiqihar is higher than Mi Zhongjing's. Many people think that Mr. Lin may stand out in the three-year election for the chairman."

"Many people had already started to make plans and were running to the Lin family. Even the Japanese seemed to have spent a lot of money to win over the new person who might take over the position... But no one expected that he would suddenly pass away like this."

Jiang Cheng sneered: "I think it is very likely that Mr. Lin rejected some of the Japanese's conditions and was killed by them."

Li Guiqi immediately said, "At first, the brothers who went to investigate also thought so... But as they went deeper into the investigation, they soon discovered that Mr. Lin had always had close contacts with the Japanese. The Lin family had a large business in Heilongjiang Province, involving food, forestry, and mines;"

"And judging from the bank's bills, the Japanese have close business dealings with the Lin family—"

Jiang Cheng suddenly realized: "Now I understand: that is to say, this Mi Zhongjing is very likely the one who killed Mr. Lin; because he was afraid that he would have close contact with the Japanese, he took away his position as chairman."

Seeing that his superior finally understood, Li Guiqi nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, after repeated investigations, we believe that Mi Zhongjing is the most suspicious."

"Moreover, it seems that Mi Zhongjing is planning to bring the conflict to the Japanese and make Miss Lin hate the devils and us."

Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "I can understand that he wants to use the devil's knife to kill Miss Lin, but what does it mean? Oh, I understand, Mi Zhongjing must have told Lin Xiaoyue that Youquan is negotiating with the Japanese now..."

"Once this is done, we will bring disaster to the people of Qiqihar or Heilongjiang Province, right?"

Looking at the indescribable expressions of his subordinates, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile and stood up.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette. He was about to light it, but he didn't. "In the next one or two days, you go and compile the results of the investigation carefully and make a report for me... In addition,"

Jiang Cheng grinned, "Make a copy of this report and send one to Miss Lin!"

…………

As the first batch of American equipment arrived in Heilongjiang Province, the completed arsenal began to assemble -

In cooperation with the nearby power plant, the assembly speed of the arsenal is very fast, and it is expected that all debugging work will be completed by the middle of 30 years.

By then, this arsenal with welding and assembly capabilities will become the largest armored machinery factory in the entire China:
It can complete the assembly of tanks, aircraft, and heavy artillery - Jiang Cheng also carefully built a railway branch line;
All kinds of spare parts produced in Mengbei go directly to this machinery factory, and the products produced by the factory can also be continuously sent to Qiqihar and Harbin by rail.

After inspecting this place, Jiang Cheng was greatly impressed by the rapid development of science and technology and industry. In this way, after the September 18th Incident in the future, this factory will be able to continuously provide various heavy equipment to the front line.

Of course, such an important arsenal must be well protected... Jiang Cheng also purchased the latest air defense weapons from Europe and the United States. In conjunction with the radar station set up on the mountain nearby, any possible threats can be eliminated in the first place.

"Jiang, you're doing so much work, are you planning to threaten us too?"

On the third day of his factory inspection, Paul, the Russian diplomatic envoy who entered the country through the free trade zone, also came to meet with Jiang Cheng.

Of course, the Russians never beat around the bush. When they first met, without any greetings, they stated the purpose of their trip straight away.

"Haha, my old friend, if I wanted to threaten you, could I still build the factory in Heilongjiang Province?"

Jiang Cheng shook his hand and smiled happily, "I think with your iron torrent, you can easily break through the border of the Black River and blow my place into a flat land, right?"

"Please rest assured, your great superiors, because we are cooperating more and more closely with each other, I do these things only to maintain the stability of Northeast China... Actually, to put it bluntly, you also know that I am defending against the Japanese."

In the past few years, Jiang Cheng has learned Russian from Ivan. Although he is not fluent, he has almost no problem communicating with the Russians.

After listening to his words, Paul's light amber eyes flashed, and he finally chose to believe him.

Since Xu Shuzheng took back northern Mongolia, they opened several free trade zones, and their cooperation in the economic, industrial, agricultural and other fields has become increasingly close.

The Russians also need the vast market in Northeast China. Of course, there is another very important point:

If they had the Northeast as their strategic buffer, the Russians could also focus their energy on expansion into Europe.

Jiang Cheng knew all these things.

Of course, in addition to these, if we want the Russians to be completely at ease and cooperate, the most important thing is the interests of each other. In addition, we must make them understand that the threat from Europe is actually greater than themselves.

"Think about it, since the end of the European War, have the conflicts in Western Europe and Northern Europe become even greater?" (End of this chapter)
