Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Zhao Mingfei and Li Chong both waved their hands and said, "You're welcome, Brother Lu, you're too polite. The future of our three companies working together is limitless."

"Shanghai in the future, and even half of the Republic of China, will be ours."

The three of them were already discussing occupying Shanghai and even expanding to the entire Republic of China in the future.

After all, they now have the people, guns, planes and warships.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

……

At this time, in Lido.

Ye Yunfei was also making intensive preparations for a war with Lu Yongxiang.

It was originally planned to take action against Lu Yongxiang three days later.

Therefore, we must make good use of these three days.

Whether Longmen can dominate Shanghai depends on this battle.

Just as he was planning, the office door was pushed open and Xu Wenqiang walked in.

Seeing Xu Wenqiang, Ye Yunfei said, "Wenqiang, didn't I ask you to stay in Longmen to deploy the battle three days later? Why are you here in Lido?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "Brother Fei, there is an emergency right now, I need to report to you."

Ye Yunfei said: "What emergency?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "I just received news that Li Chong, the governor of Jiangnan, and Zhao Mingfei, the governor of Jiangbei, came to Shanghai today, and it was Lu Yongxiang who invited them."

"According to the information sent back by the spies I planted in Lu Yongxiang's place, it seems that these two people are here to help Lu Yongxiang, and they have also brought a lot of troops and weapons for Lu Yongxiang."

Hearing Xu Wenqiang's words, Ye Yunfei frowned.

This is what he was worried about. If it was just Lu Yongxiang, he would not be afraid now.

However, if Lu Yongxiang finds help, things will become complicated.

Moreover, as a famous warlord in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Lu Yongxiang must have some friends, and these friends are basically warlords.

Therefore, he decided to take action three days later, to make a quick decision, not to delay, and to try not to give him time to react.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yongxiang seemed to have heard the news and brought helpers in advance.

Moreover, he also knew something about Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei.

Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei were the governors-general of Jiangnan and Jiangbei respectively. Both of them were famous warlords.

Although their power is not as strong as those of the top warlords, each of them still has tens of thousands of people under their command.

It is not good news to let them cooperate with Lu Yongxiang.

After thinking for a while, Ye Yunfei said, "So, Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei have been mixed up with Lu Yongxiang."

Xu Wenqiang nodded and said, "From the current perspective, it is indeed the case."

"And I heard that Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei both brought secret weapons for Lu Yongxiang. As for what the secret weapons are, I haven't found out, but I guess they should be some powerful weapons."

"Both of them are warlords. What they call secret weapons should be things related to munitions."

Ye Yunfei nodded: "They are two fools who are helping Lu Yongxiang to deal with me."

"They are both tired of living."

Xu Wenqiang said: "Brother Fei, although these two people are not very powerful individually, they are still very difficult to deal with now that they are working with Lu Yongxiang."

"Lu Yongxiang's strength has improved a lot. If we fight now, I'm afraid we won't have much chance of winning."

"After three days, should we continue to attack?"

Ye Yunfei narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "The attack three days later has been decided long ago and cannot be changed."

"Whether Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei come or not, we have to take action in three days."

"Besides, even if we don't do anything to Lu Yongxiang now, Lu Yongxiang will definitely do something to us."

"He has already found helpers. His wolfish ambitions are obvious. Is there any need to say anything?"

Xu Wenqiang said, "I understand. Then I will proceed as planned in three days. However, what about Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei?"

Ye Yunfei said: "Don't worry about these two people, just leave them to me. I will go meet them now."

Xu Wenqiang was startled and said, "Brother Fei, you are going to meet Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei. This is not okay. It's too dangerous."

"They have already cooperated with Lu Yongxiang and are clearly on his side. If you go looking for them, you're just asking for trouble. That's absolutely not allowed."

Ye Yunfei sneered and said, "Even if I deliver myself to their door, they still can't kill me with just the two of them."

"Don't worry, I'll go talk to these two people. Maybe there will be a chance for a turnaround."

Xu Wenqiang said: "You want to persuade them to withdraw from the dispute in Shanghai. This is impossible. They have a close relationship with Lu Yongxiang. And this time, Lu Yongxiang must have promised them huge benefits, so they came here."

"It is basically impossible to ask them to withdraw voluntarily now."

Ye Yunfei said: "If you don't try, how do you know if it's possible or not?"

"Besides, even if it's really impossible, I'm confident that I can get out of this unscathed. Don't worry. I still have this confidence."

Seeing Ye Yunfei's firm attitude, Xu Wenqiang had no choice but to say, "Well, since Brother Fei has made up your mind, I will go with you."

"It's safer this way."

Ye Yunfei glanced at Xu Wenqiang and said, "You don't have to accompany me. The war will start in three days. What you need to do now is to prepare all matters before the war. Longmen's major events need you to manage them. How can you accompany me?"

"How about this, let Ali go with me. This time we go to see Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei, we're just going to talk to them, we don't necessarily have to take action."

"If a fight really breaks out, we'll talk about it then."

At this point, Xu Wenqiang had no choice but to nod.

Afterwards, he called Ding Li over, and after giving Ding Li some instructions, asking him to protect Ye Yunfei at all costs, he returned to Longmen and continued to prepare for the war.

On this side, Ye Yunfei and Ding Li also came to Jinjiang Hotel.

This is the accommodation that Lu Yongxiang arranged for Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei. It is extremely luxurious.

And Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei's men were everywhere.

Ye Yunfei walked directly to the entrance of Jinjiang Hotel and said to the guard, "Go tell Li Chong, Zhao Mingfei and the others that Longmen Ye Yunfei is here to visit."

When the guard heard the name Ye Yunfei, he was startled and immediately went in to report.

……

At this time in the Jinjiang Hotel, Li Chong and Zhao Mingfei were still discussing how to deal with Ye Yunfei together.

"Brother Zhao, the two of us will come to Shanghai Beach to help Lu Yongxiang deal with Ye Yunfei."

"Once Ye Yunfei is dealt with, we should share a share of Shanghai's interests. Otherwise, it would be a big loss for us to put in so much effort and get nothing."

Li Chongdao.

Zhao Mingfei said: "Of course, we dispatched tens of thousands of people, and also gave Lu Yongxiang planes and warships. With such a huge cost, of course we have to get some rewards."

"When this battle is over, we must have a share of Shanghai."
