"Ci Xiu, how could you let them go?"
Chairman Jiang panicked. He had been afraid of Wanjie Lou and his men, but now he panicked after hearing that they had all left.
Those people came and went in a hurry, and their whereabouts were mysterious. It was extremely difficult to see them again. He had wanted them to help him govern the country, but they had left just like that. He suddenly felt empty, and lost his sense of security.
Although he was full of fear and worry about those martial arts masters, he did not worry about his own safety. On the contrary, he felt as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart.
His guards couldn't stop those martial arts masters. If they wanted to kill him, he would have killed them a long time ago.
Instead, those martial arts masters had become weapons to intimidate the leaders of other countries. If they dared to attack him, he would kill the emperor, the queen, the president, and the prime minister tomorrow.
"Don't worry, Chairman. Those martial arts masters were worried about the safety of the country, so they left ten rare martial arts manuals and a formula."
Chen Cheng carefully took out a stack of white paper from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Chen.
"Golden Bell Shield, Iron Shirt, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Nine Yang Magic Skill, Nine Yin Magic Skill …"
Senior Chairman Jiang flipped through it quickly, then deftly put it back into his pocket. He patted it a few more times worriedly. Only when he felt the bulge inside did he feel slightly relieved.
"Didn't they say anything else?"
Although Senior Chairman Jiang tried his best to maintain a stern expression, the faint smile in his eyes betrayed him.
With these martial arts manuals, he would be able to train some martial arts masters who were loyal to him.
"No."
Chen Cheng shook his head. Those martial arts masters left after killing the last Japanese captive. They didn't ask for anything else.
"They are real martial arts masters. Order all the newspapers and broadcasters in the country to publicize their help in the Battle of Songhu to express our sincere gratitude."
Chairman Jiang turned to the guard beside him and gave the order.
Since they didn't want anything, he couldn't be stingy. He would try his best to give them names.
"Bring all the Japanese captives to Nanjing. I'm going to hold a press conference."
Chairman Jiang turned around and instructed Chen Cheng after giving his instructions.
He had to expand the influence of the Battle of Songhu so that all the countries in the world would know about it. He might even be able to defeat the Japanese without a fight.
"Cough cough cough … Headmaster, the Japanese Army is very brave …"
When Chen Cheng heard this, he coughed a few times and didn't answer the question.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Chairman Jiang. "Don't worry, I won't forget the brave soldiers at the frontline. This time, the government will reward the frontline soldiers with 100 million French currency. It will be distributed immediately."
He was well aware of the importance of this battle. Not only had they repelled the Japanese army, but they had also left behind hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were no longer afraid of the Japanese.
As long as these troops were trained well, they would become an elite army of hundreds of thousands. He naturally had to comfort them.
The commander-in-chief of the Right Wing Army, Zhang Fakui, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, Zhu Shaoliang, and the others walked in happily, ready to welcome Jiang Chen. When they heard the conversation between Chen Cheng and Jiang Chen, the smiles on their faces instantly froze.
However, they still braced themselves and walked in. Everyone knew that this matter was not serious at all. They just needed to give Chairman Jiang a way out.
Would Chiang Kai-shek punish those masters or the victorious generals for the sake of some Japanese captives?
"Chairman, you have no idea how tenacious the Japanese army is. Even those who had fainted pulled the grenades and tried to die with us …"
Zhu Shaoliang, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, said after a moment of hesitation.
If they died, so be it. He still had the Nine Yang Divine Skill Manual in his pocket. If it weren't for Chairman Jiang, he would have tried to practice it in his own headquarters.
"That's right. They would rather kill themselves than become our captives."
Zhang Fakui, the commander-in-chief of the Right Wing Army, said with a strange expression on his face.
The morale of the Japanese army had long been shattered by the Wanjie Lou soldiers. Many of them knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The Wanjie Lou soldiers all knew Kung Fu. In order to win more kills and save energy, it was only natural for them to kill with one strike.
There were only two ways to kill with one strike and save energy. One was to stab through the heart, and the other was to cut off the head.
Faced with the constant falling heads on the battlefield, even the most valiant soldiers could not withstand it.
"How many of them are left?"
Hearing that, Chairman Jiang was slightly surprised, but he didn't show any anger.
Because this matter was not worthy of his anger.
Although the excuses made up by the soldiers were absurd, such as fainting and pulling the grenade, it didn't matter.
He only needed some captives to support his press conference. How many Japanese soldiers could be captured in one photo?
"None left."
Chen Cheng lowered his head as if he was counting ants and replied softly.
Senior Chairman Jiang was speechless.
"It was those Kung Fu masters who did it."
Dai Li reminded him in a low voice.
"How do you expect me to explain this to the international community?"
Chairman Jiang's mouth twitched. He pretended that he didn't hear Chen Cheng and said angrily.
If the international community knew that they had killed every single Japanese soldier, how would they condemn them? It would seriously affect international relations.
"Principal, I found some Japanese soldiers on the run at the concession in Shanghai. We can catch them and bring them back."
Chen Cheng put on a serious face and said the suggestion that he had been suppressing in his heart.
From the moment Wanjie Lou soldiers made their move, he had been thinking about how to deal with Chairman Jiang.
"I will make sure that the Japanese soldiers are obedient."
Dai Li stood at attention, saluted, and said with a solemn expression.
They just needed some Japanese soldiers to make up the numbers. They could catch some from the concession, then torture them and make them wear Japanese clothes.
"Then why don't you go and catch them now? What if those routed Japanese soldiers hurt our international friends in the concession? "
Chairman Jiang said angrily.
No matter what, they couldn't let all the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield of Shanghai die. They had to keep some captives alive.
"Excuse me."
Hearing that, everyone felt relieved. They knew that the problem had been solved, so they rushed out. Right then, Chairman Jiang suddenly stopped Chen Cheng.
"In the future, if there are any missing Japanese or accidents in our country, you will be responsible for it. You should understand."
After that, Chairman Jiang gave Chen Cheng a meaningful look, then waved his hand to let Chen Cheng leave.
"Our two countries are at war, so there are many spies. Do you understand?"
Afraid that Chen Cheng would misunderstand him, Chiang Kai-shek added.
Chen Cheng was speechless.
