Chapter 139 The Furious Thoughts of Yang Jiakai and Su Zhengyang
Su Zhengyang strode back to his seat, looked at the distraught and livid Zhang Chengxiang and said, "I tell you, if Fuso doesn't return Shunfeng Port, there's no need for him to start a war! I will be the first to transfer the Northwest Revolutionary Army to the Northeast to fight those Fuso devils!"
Jiang Dapao felt particularly relieved when watching this scene. If we talk about the lease of Shunfeng Port to the Fuso people, Jiang Dapao was the one who felt the most aggrieved. After all, Haizhou was his territory, so Jiang Dapao never had a good face towards the Fuso.
"Well said! It makes me happy! If you want to fight the Japanese devils, count me in as one of them!"
Yang Jiakai glared at Jiang Dapao with a gloomy expression and cursed in his heart, what kind of occasion is this? Su Zhengyang is still young, it is understandable for him to make some trouble, but why are you, Jiang Dapao, joining in the fun?
Yang Jiakai was about to scold Su Zhengyang, but Su Zhengyang spoke first.
"Councilman Zhang, if you don't take back the Shunfeng Port that you gave away with your own hands, you, including the entire Zhang family, will be sinners who will be infamous in China for thousands of years! I promise to make this matter a big deal and let 900 million people see your true face, Zhang Chengxiang!"
"Alright! Su Zhengyang! No matter what, Governor Zhang is your colleague and your elder, so shut up!"
The thorny issues to be discussed at the congressional meeting have been resolved, and the meeting ended quickly. Zhang Chengxiang, with a gloomy face, got into his private car without saying a word, without greeting anyone, and even ignored Yang Jiakai's attempts to comfort him, and went straight back to his Zhang Mansion in Beilong City.
After all the congressmen left, Yang Jiakai and Duan Jinshu stayed behind. After signaling the guards to close the door and leave, Yang Jiakai could no longer suppress his anger. He walked to Su Zhengyang with his hands behind his back and roared, "Who told you to take the initiative and speak up for this job? Do you know how dangerous Shanghai is now? You are a junior who has just become a congressman. You have neither connections in Bizhou nor prestige in the Northern Frontier system. So many old people are shirking their responsibilities, and you are the only one who is showing off, right!"
"You and Qi Yue are going to get married in less than a month. Do you want my daughter to be a widow? If I had known you were such an impulsive and reckless loser, I shouldn't have made such a bullshit agreement with you!"
As a close friend of Yang Jiakai who had fought side by side with him for decades, it was the first time that Duan Jinshu saw Yang Jiakai so angry. It was obvious that Su Zhengyang's actions made Yang Jiakai very angry.
After Yang Jiakai vented his anger, Su Zhengyang smiled ingratiatingly and said slowly, "Uncle Yang, don't worry. Since I dared to accept this task, I have already thought of a solution in my mind. Although Shanghai is now a powder keg that can explode at any time, if I don't stand up, who can you count on? Do you really want Governor Jiang to go there?"
Yang Jiakai sat on the chair, his chest heaving, and glared at Su Zhengyang with a look of disappointment.
"Tell me, what solution do you have?"
Su Zhengyang kept it a secret and said, "I can't tell you now. Anyway, I will do this beautifully and make you proud. I want to take that crucial step in the future. This is also an opportunity to accumulate prestige. It's a necessary path."
Duan Jinshu also advised, "Brother Yang, Zhengyang has always been a well-balanced person, and he is able to advance and retreat freely. Since he dared to agree, he must be sure of it. Don't worry about it, or you will get angry and hurt yourself."
"Zhengyang, you too, didn't discuss such a big thing with us in advance. Brother Yang is just too concerned. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. If anyone else did this, we would be too happy, but it's different for you. Your uncle Yang got angry with you because he was worried about your safety."
With Duan Jinshu's mediation, Yang Jiakai's anger finally subsided.
"Okay, even if you have your own considerations for this matter, you directly tore your face with Zhang Chengxiang at the congressional meeting and said such harsh words. Do you think this is appropriate? Now everyone knows that you, Su Zhengyang, are the son-in-law of my Yang family. Every word you say represents the attitude of me, the president of Northern Xinjiang. Now that the Civil War is about to break out, the Zhang faction plays an extremely important role in it. Have you considered the consequences of falling out with Zhang Chengxiang at this time?"
Su Zhengyang shook his head secretly. Yang Jiakai was a competent leader of Northern Xinjiang, but he lacked the courage to forge ahead and show his talents. He always considered everything from the overall situation. Even if he would not make any mistakes, he would still leave huge hidden dangers.
Although Zhang Chengxiang is one of the elders in Northern Frontier, times have changed and he has completely turned into a selfish, cunning and fickle person. Sooner or later, big problems will arise as the Zhang family controls the three states in the Central Plains.
"Why should I consider the consequences, or in other words, why should I care about the attitude of a dying person?"
"What did you say?"
Su Zhengyang looked at Yang Jiakai and said word by word with absolute certainty: "I want to get rid of Zhang Chengxiang!"
Su Zhengyang's words caused a storm of shock in Yang Jiakai and Duan Jinshu's hearts. A member of the Northern Frontier government who was in the top five core positions and the governor-general of the three provinces in the Central Plains, Su Zhengyang actually wanted to get rid of him directly?
"Zhang Chengxiang has already deviated from the original intention of the Northern Frontier Government. He is ambitious and only thinks about his own interests. He is so close to Fuso and may have deep connections with the Southern Government. I really can't think of what's the point of keeping such a two-faced person who is seemingly close to the Northern Frontier Government. It is better to cut the Gordian knot and get rid of him directly, take back the control of the three provinces of the Central Plains, and centralize power. This is the best solution."
Duan Jinshu pondered for a moment and responded, "Let's not talk about the consequences of killing Zhang Chengxiang. As the governor of Zhili, Zhang Chengxiang is closely guarded. He usually stays in the governor's mansion in Jiaozhou. He rarely leaves. How easy is it to get rid of him?"
"Leave this matter to me. You two just need to gather your troops and be ready to take over the three states of the Central Plains by force at any time."
Yang Jiakai looked at his future son-in-law meaningfully. Su Zhengyang's plan had brought a great psychological impact on him. He was decisive and courageous, and never showed mercy. This kind of person was either confident enough or a complete lunatic!
"At this point in time, getting rid of Zhang Chengxiang will most likely cause the three provinces in the Central Plains to completely break away from the control of our Northern Frontier government. Don't forget that Zhang's faction has 300,000 well-equipped troops under its command."
Su Zhengyang nodded and said, "Assassinating Zhang Chengxiang is not a trivial matter. I need a long time to prepare, and now is not the best time. What I mean is, wait until I have solved the hidden dangers in Shanghai and achieved a phased victory in the Civil War before taking action. If I don't act, it's fine. If I act, I must make a decisive move and try to minimize the impact and swallow up the Zhang family in one gulp."
Yang Jiakai and Duan Jinshu looked at each other. This Su Zhengyang always had a decisive and indomitable spirit. Perhaps in the future he would become the new leader of Northern Xinjiang or even China, and could bring a new look to the entire China.
