The troops of the Sixth Corps stationed in Suiyuan, Rehe, Chahar and other places have begun to assemble. The security regiment and militia are responsible for maintaining local security, and the border defense troops are responsible for guarding the border.

Jiang Dong inspected the agriculture, mining and oil refining work in the northwest region in Guisui, then left Guisui and got on the northbound train in Zhangbei.

Jiangdong's trip has an important purpose, which is to take a train to the newly completed Sino-Soviet Railway.

This railway will be the material transportation artery for future wars. Jiangdong will not know it until he has seen it himself.

The end of the railway is the Lake Baikal region and is connected to the Trans-Siberian Railway.

After arriving in the Lake Baikal region, the train Jiangdong took will turn east and go to Chita, where he will meet with senior officials of the Soviet Far East Front.

As the general person in charge of the Sino-Soviet Railway Project, Cui Hao, Commander of the Engineering Corps, and Jiang Dong boarded the train in Zhangbei.

After the train started, Jiang Dong had been standing by the window, looking at the scenery outside the Great Wall that was starting to feel lonely, with deep eyes.

Cui Hao stood behind Jiangdong, carefully observing Jiangdong's reaction, for fear that Jiangdong would be dissatisfied with the railway under his feet.

After watching it for a while, Jiang Dong felt tired and turned back to the carriage to sit down.

"Cui... Commander Cui..." He raised a hand, and for a moment he didn't know how to address Cui Hao.

Cui Hao acted like he was walking on thin ice in front of Jiang Dong.

"Commander-in-Chief, is the railway not repaired well? Wherever you think needs improvement, I will send someone to do it immediately!"

Cui Hao's appearance made Jiang Dong laugh a little. He moved his fingers and said:

"At present, it seems that this railway is in good repair. Thank you to the brothers of the Engineering Corps for their hard work!"

"No, no, as long as the commander-in-chief is satisfied..."

Jiang Dong shook his head and chuckled, not intending to correct Cui Hao's humble appearance, and continued to ask:

"I remember that the General Staff also expanded the engineering force. How many technical talents, soldiers and engineering equipment do you have under your command now?"

Cui Hao bowed and replied seriously:

"The largest establishment is 150,000, with dozens of engineering teams. The talents and engineering equipment can meet the construction requirements!"

North China has been able to independently produce bulldozers and other engineering equipment and vehicles. The engineering troops are equipped with the most advanced construction equipment, which is also one of the reasons for the high construction efficiency.

Jiang Dong nodded,

"Brothers will also need to contribute in this battle. Are you ready?"

"Back to the Commander-in-Chief, we have received notification from the staff and everything is going according to plan!"

"good!"

Jiang Dong touched his chin and suddenly thought of someone,

"The commander of the 4th Division, Shigeru Sawada, is responsible for commanding and dispatching Japanese prisoners of war and expatriates. How is his performance? Is he still honest?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Cui Hao's mouth, but disappeared immediately and said:

"The soldiers are always supervising him. This man is quite honest. He is on the train. Does the Commander-in-Chief want to see him?"

"Oh..." Jiang Dong became interested,

"Call me over and have a chat."

"yes!"

Not long after, a short, thin man with a dark face and a hunched back walked into the carriage.

He came straight to Jiang Dong and bowed to the end.

Looking at the weathered and tired Sawada Shigeru, Jiangdong wanted to say something, you old devil, you have today too.

I remember that when I was doing business with the Fourth Division, Sawada Shigeru was so proud that he didn't want this and I wouldn't give him that. It took a lot of effort from the Military Intelligence Bureau to get the two sides to do business.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

Koto's knuckles lightly pressed against the table, and Sawada Shigeru raised his head upon hearing the sound.

"Jiang...Chief Jiang..."

Jiang Dong had no intention of hiding the sarcasm on his face. He leaned back on the chair, crossed his arms, and asked:

"Your Excellency Shigeru Sawada, are you adaptable to the environment outside the Great Wall?"

Sawada Shigeru felt extremely bitter in his heart. Under Jiangdong's mocking and condescending gaze, he felt like he was about to shed tears. He lowered his head and replied:

"Thank you for your concern, sir. Everything is fine, everything is fine..."

Cui Hao had no expression on his face, but he actually snorted in his heart.

"Well, how are the expatriates and prisoners of war doing? Is anyone sick?"

Sawada Shigeru has already understood that the Chinese are giving them a bad check. Once they enter the construction site, there is no chance of getting out.

But as a defeated general under his command, and wanting to escape with his life, he didn't dare to think of resistance, so he could only work down-to-earth, and immediately replied:

"The Japanese are not used to the wind and frost outside the Great Wall. A few people died when they first arrived, but they got used to it after staying for a long time!"

Sawada Shigeru didn't dare to tell the truth. He didn't know whether Jiangdong really cared or was deliberately trying to trick him.

The environment outside the Great Wall was difficult, and they were engaged in high-intensity physical labor. In order to repair the Sino-Soviet Railway, more than 2,000 Japanese people have died forever.

Jiang Dong was very satisfied with this answer. He slowed down and said:

"You have been wreaking havoc and killing people on Chinese soil. Many of your hands are stained with blood. Instead of shooting you, you have been given a job. You must cherish and be grateful!"

"Yes, yes..."

"When the war is over, I will give you your freedom and send you back to Japan. As I said before, you will be the new force in the construction of Japan in the future!"

"Thank you, sir..."

Regardless of whether he believed Koto's words or not, Sawada Shigeru had to pretend to listen carefully.

Beyond the Great Wall is a vast and lofty place, and sometimes the scenery is exactly the same for dozens of miles.

At noon on the 28th, the train stopped at Brutus.

De Wang, Li Shouxin and others were already waiting at the edge of the platform. They immediately greeted Jiang Dong after he got off the bus.

Jiangdong was very satisfied with the work of the two men on the grassland, so he specially asked the train to stop to meet them.

At the train station, Jiang Dong said while eating the mutton he had prepared earlier:

"The grassland forces of Chahar, Rehe and Suiyuan have been unified!"

"It turns out that with the support of Chief Jiang, the Inner Mongolia grasslands have now been unified!" King De replied respectfully, with Batu standing not far behind him.

Jiang Dong was busy eating meat and said without raising his head:

"I heard that you have been very prosperous recently because of your strong army and horses. Tell me about it..."

King De and Li Shouxin looked at each other, and the former said:

"Chief Jiang, there are currently 35,000 cavalry on the grassland! As long as you need it, the Mongolian warriors are the sword in your hand. No matter the reason or emotion, we will cut wherever you point us!"

We and the thirty-five thousand warriors are always ready to die for Commander Jiang..."

"If your brain is ruined, you will not give up even if you die!" Li Shouxin agreed!

Jiang Dong put down the bones in his hands, raised his head and said:

"Well... 35,000 cavalry are quite a force!

Let's do this, gather everyone first, prepare for battle, and wait for my orders!

If there is a shortage of supplies, you can report it to the staff department!"

"Yes!" Li Shouxin replied without hesitation.

King De, however, subconsciously asked the question of who to fight.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Dong's eyes, and King De immediately thought of what he had just said, slapped himself in the face, and repeatedly promised to resolutely obey the order.

"Well, good!"

Jiang Dong wiped his oil-stained hands, greeted Zhao Erniu and the soldiers of the inner guard, and boarded the train again.

"Huhu..."

After seeing the train go away, King De and Li Shouxin breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
