The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army
Chapter 742 The Navy is Too Weak
"Second Master also called me and kept asking me if I had any solution, but I'm not Sun Wukong, so where can I get the 72 transformations?"
Duan Congbin added, "I have discussed this with the Russians, but the Duchess is not in charge now, and the new Victor stays in his room drinking every day and can't do anything... I, I really have no idea, Master Jiang!"
Jiang Cheng didn't respond, just said, "Just do your job well first," and then hung up the phone.
Far away from the Russian mainland, Vladivostok and nearby Shuangchengzi and other places have not been able to develop... Even since the Jilin Army moved in along the railway, relying on the abundant water and marine resources in the surrounding areas, it has carried out a lot of agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery construction.
Otherwise, given the Russians' temper, they would not be able to develop this land even if they were given decades more.
"The goods are piled up in Vladivostok. I have ordered all freight routes to be stopped."
Jiang Cheng looked up and said to Jiang Dengxuan, "How much cargo is stored in Harbin? Are all the coal and other things shipped from Changchun..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Dengxuan suddenly covered his chest and burst into a violent coughing fit, almost falling down.
"What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Cheng's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly stepped forward and hugged his arm. Seeing that his pale face was almost completely buried in the handkerchief, and he was coughing so hard that he couldn't even stand steadily, Yun Wang beside him said anxiously:
"Sir, while our Master Jiang is here... you, please don't hide it, okay? Tell us everything. At least we can find a more reliable doctor to take a closer look at you!"
Hearing what he said, Jiang Cheng's face suddenly darkened.
But he did not rush to ask, but let the loyal adjutant help Jiang Dengxuan to sit down first, then he frowned and stared at Yun Wang, waiting for the report.
It was obvious that Jiang Dengxuan still wanted to conceal the truth, so Yun Wang sighed and chose to tell the truth:
Ever since that battle with the Japanese, Jiang Dengxuan's health has been much worse than before - at first he was afraid of the cold, and then he couldn't stand the drastic changes in temperature.
"Recently, I have been waking up several times during the night and coughing,"
Yun Wang didn't finish his words. Jiang Dengxuan put some effort into touching his chest and stopped talking. He glared at him and said, "Say less. No one thinks you're dumb... Well, it's not as serious as you say. It's just,"
He finally caught his breath halfway through his words and said calmly, "It's been very cold and windy this year, so I've been coughing for a few more days."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled, patted his shoulder, turned around and went to the phone to contact his wife Hai Huixin, asking her to contact a reliable doctor as soon as possible and to form a medical team to come to Harbin quickly.
This time, Jiang Dengxuan did not reject his kindness, but sighed and lamented that he was really useless.
"Don't talk about this. Nothing is more important than your health."
Jiang Cheng added, "Call Jinghui over and go back to rest first."
As he spoke, with the help of Yun Wang and Yang Sitong, he confirmed the quantity of goods stranded in Harbin: "Let the people from the Chamber of Commerce confirm and put them all into the warehouse...stones!"
He called the chief of his escort brigade and gave another order, "Until all roads along the route are cleared, the escort brigade must ensure the safety of the goods."
Li Shitou immediately stood at attention and saluted, then called his men to make arrangements. At this time, the people from the Chamber of Commerce also arrived and reported to him immediately:
After the route was blocked, they immediately took countermeasures. In addition to stopping the transportation of all goods that had not yet been started, all the goods that had been transferred to Harbin were sealed on the spot.
"You've done a good job - but let the Guard Brigade take over the safekeeping of all the goods." Jiang Cheng rubbed his hands and said, "In this hot weather, fresh products may not be able to be preserved for a long time. Please contact the delivery as soon as possible. It's better than letting them rot in the warehouse."
In addition to selling primary products such as ore, wood and coal, Jilin also has food factories: candy, biscuits, bread, canned food, etc. In those days, there was no technology and hard work, and the shelf life was generally shorter...
Jiang Cheng certainly has to consider these things, especially for some foods sold to Southeast Asia. He can't just sell a bunch of expired foods there.
"Master Jiang, we will do whatever you say...but this is definitely not a long-term solution. We still have to find a way to open up the route!"
"Yes, Master Jiang, the shipping route has been cut off for almost seven or eight days, and our losses are not small! Not to mention the liquidated damages for not being able to sell the goods, even the management fees for these things are a considerable amount!"
Several officials from the Chamber of Commerce were all worried, and Jiang Cheng understood the situation much better than they did.
Waving his hand for them to go back to their work, Jiang Cheng walked around the room with his hands clasped behind his back.
He was very clear about his current strength. If he fought the Japanese face to face on land, he would have at least a 70% chance of winning.
But it’s different at sea.
At present, his warships are just a few converted cargo ships. No matter in firepower or sailing speed, they are far inferior to the Japanese Combined Fleet.
Even the Feiying, Feipeng, and Feiyan ships, which were capable of main battle, could only sail at a speed of 10 knots, one-third the speed of the Japanese cruisers.
In terms of firepower configuration, each ship has two 120-caliber and two 75-caliber rapid-fire guns, four 3-pound guns, three mortars, 4 water-cooled machine guns and 3mm machine guns, and a full crew of 6.5 people.
These are modified firepower, which is much weaker than the Combined Fleet. Moreover, as of now, the logistics support at sea is not good enough, and it will be really not enough in a real battle.
It is definitely not enough to confront the Combined Fleet head-on...but we cannot rely on European and American countries for this matter.
Even though import and export are related to them, how can these big capitalists fight against the Japanese without any benefits?
The so-called appeasement when facing Sandezi will continue to give up the interests of other countries. It is impossible for them to interfere in the affairs of Northeast China.
"Master Jiang, the Japanese are blocking our waterways, so we're going to fucking destroy their army!"
Li Shitou's voice suddenly interrupted Jiang Cheng's thoughts, "Let them block it, and we'll kick all the Kwantung Army in Japanese-occupied Korea into the sea!"
Seeing the other party's serious look, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "It is indeed a trick... But have you ever thought about it, if this happens, wouldn't it be equivalent to declaring a full-scale war with Japan?"
"If they come in droves to attack the Northeast, we may not necessarily lose, but the losses will definitely be heavy."
Moreover, judging from the current confrontation between Cao Saner and Wu Xiucai, if the Japanese invaders attack the Northeast, they will not only help, but will definitely take advantage of the situation to rob -
By then, the entire Fengtian clique will be in an irretrievable situation! (End of this chapter)
