The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

The boss's words completely silenced the warlords who were sitting upright.

There is no one who can do this job. The brutal Kwantung Army came with aircraft carriers, but they were beaten all the way and had no choice but to flee... Just relying on them? They are dreaming!

"Now, he wants a letter of appointment."

The boss's voice was filled with helplessness. "Unite the seven provinces outside the Great Wall, Shandong, and also drag in Zhili and Shanxi—"

"Once he succeeds, he will become the largest force! Even if we count the number of standing troops, the number of people will be close to 800,000."

"Besides that, he also has a large number of armored divisions. We have to fight back and be attacked by the rebels all the way. What should we do?"

The boss’s meaning was very clear—you idiots can’t beat Jiang Cheng, so I have no choice but to give him this letter of appointment.

Now he just wants a letter of appointment, and that will be enough to appease him.

If he is really provoked to join forces with the rebels, it will be a big trouble.

"But the negotiations must continue... We can't let the Japanese attack Nanjing."

…………

When the letter of appointment as the chief of the United Provinces' Anti-Japanese War reached Jiang Cheng, he was not surprised by the South's choice.

With his current strength, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to push all the way forward.

However, after a series of battles, Jiang Cheng actually realized that the problem here was not that simple.

According to the original timeline, the Japanese army became truly powerful because the Northeast was lost. The Japanese obtained a large amount of material replenishment in this vast territory, which enabled them to develop rapidly and increase their military strength.

But now Japan had aircraft carriers, airplanes, artillery, and tanks that would not appear until several years later—even individual weapons were close to the standards of the later Kwantung Army;

Except that the devils were spies hiding in the Northeast and "stole" their equipment parameters back...

In addition, the biggest possibility is that there is a larger force behind the scenes supporting Japan.

Taking all factors into consideration, the biggest possibility is the American who is known as the "global troublemaker."

Moreover, before Pearl Harbor, the Americans had been secretly betting on both sides... They were also Japan's largest exporter of steel, oil, etc.

To put it bluntly, the fact that Japan, this wild dog, is stirring up trouble in Asia is directly related to their support.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel irritated.

With the current comprehensive strength outside the Great Wall, these areas of the Federation are sufficient to fight the Japanese army to a draw.

But what if the Americans want to cause trouble?

Or would he support the South and stab them in the back when they were fighting the Japanese to the death?
Judging from the nature of those people in the South: the money used to buy airplanes for the Anti-Japanese War was later diverted to buy stocks, and they are still thinking about making money everywhere when the country is in crisis... Once the Americans throw a delicious bone, most of them will jump on it and eat it and bite it!
No matter how dark his thoughts were, they were not excessive, because these ridiculous old warlords would do anything for the sake of profit.

Jiang Cheng leaned heavily on the chair and fell into deep thought... After a while, he slowly took out the cigarette box and started smoking in big puffs.

A fiery red flag flashed through his mind, and he shuddered violently. At this moment, his personal bodyguard Xu Fushan ran in: "Master Jiang, the young marshal is here!"

What is he here for?
But he soon realized: He should be delivering the appointment letter to himself - "The devils haven't been completely eliminated yet, and you suddenly came here. Did everything go smoothly on the way?"

Jiang Cheng has always been polite to him.

Zhang Hanqing walked in and sat down with him. He asked Zhao Xishun, who came in with him, to take out the appointment letter with the seal on it. He added, "You are really getting higher and higher in your position... From now on, I will probably have to accept your orders."

After saying this, he avoided Jiang Cheng's gaze and said insincerely, "I have also decided that Zhili, Shanxi and other places will also join the United Provinces to fight against Japan."

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

Although Jiang Cheng was not surprised by his choice, he was actually uncomfortable with the other party's straightforwardness.

"That's what I said. I entered the country... to fight the Japanese devils and avenge our commander, Master Wu, and the millions of people who died in Northeast China and Shandong."

Jiang Cheng smiled gently, "I'm not here to take your power."

Even though the other party would most likely not believe what he said, he still looked up at Zhao Xishun who was worried, and continued, "I still say the same thing. If I really wanted to seize power, I probably wouldn't have waited until today."

"I won't do that now. I'm here to fight the devils."

Zhang Hanqing suddenly raised his head and looked back in a trance.

He seemed to ponder for a long time, and finally frowned and said: "Now many people think that you came to the interior to grab territory under the banner of anti-Japanese war."

"Not only one person said... many people said that you are related to the Reds - that you got involved with the Russians and planned to join in the chaos."

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel angry.

Sure enough, his worries were not unnecessary.

These warlords thought that after entering the pass, they would take advantage of the opportunity to wipe out the Japanese invaders and seize cities and territories, driving them out of power or even destroying them altogether.

Of course, it’s not that he is incapable of doing such a thing; on the contrary, if he and they were switched places, Jiang Cheng would also be worried about the unnecessary trouble caused by the passage of an "ally" who is too powerful.

"It's already this late, and you're still thinking about protecting your territory?"

Jiang Cheng's tone suddenly turned cold. "Hmph, Han Qing, don't say that I, Jiang Feilan, don't say that I don't have this idea. I really do - when the foreign enemy invades, their first thought is to guard against their own people. Isn't that too stupid?"

Zhang Hanqing was helpless: "This matter has nothing to do with stupidity. Everyone has seen the strength of the Northeast Army. Even the aggressive Kwantung Army is no match for it. "

"Then it's normal for them to be afraid that you'll go south to 'fight the Japanese', right?"

Jiang Cheng kicked the table in front of him and said, "Han Qing, please forgive my rudeness. These idiots have never seen the brutality of the Japanese. As soldiers from the Northeast, haven't you and I been bullied enough by them?"

"Let's not talk about far away places, just take Shandong... The civilians in Weifang were slaughtered by the Japanese! The military trains couldn't even get into the train station. The railroad ties were filled with corpses of civilians, one after another!"

"The old, the weak, women, and children... even the babies in their arms, these beasts didn't spare them - think about it, if the Japs were a group of wild beasts that broke into Weifang City, they wouldn't eat people after they were full, right?"

"And what did these beasts do? From the oldest to the youngest, there were only about twenty people left to carry the corpses. There was a new soldier next to me named Song. He managed to escape by luck thanks to his excellent kung fu skills!"

Facing Zhang Hanqing's surprise, he was furious and said the second half of the sentence: "As the chief commander, you should tell them the truth. Do you want to fight the Japanese or not? If not, I will go south!" (End of this chapter)
