Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Ding Li said: "If this continues, our income will continue to decrease. There are no people in all the venues, and there are no people walking on the streets. I feel that we will not be able to sustain it for a long time."

Ye Yunfei said: "Don't worry, as long as we deal with the Tianlong Society and Wu Fatian, everything will be fine."

Ding Li said: "Solve it, I'm afraid it's not that easy to solve. Now we are really facing internal and external troubles, ah."

Speaking of this, Ding Li let out a long sigh.

Ye Yunfei looked at Xu Wenqiang and said, "Wenqiang, have you found out how many people Wu Fatian has outside Shanghai?"

These days, what he was most concerned about were the people brought by Wu Fatian.

The Tianlong Society is not that important; Wu Fati is the top priority.

Therefore, we must first find out how many talents Wu Fatian has.

Xu Wenqiang said: "We have found out that Wu Fatian, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the five southeastern provinces, has a large number of soldiers under his command."

"Although he did not bring all his troops this time, the army he brought to Shanghai was still 400,000."

"There are now 400,000 troops surrounding Shanghai."

Ye Yunfei frowned when he heard this and said, "Four hundred thousand people? It seems that Wu Fatian is really quite powerful, with four hundred thousand troops."

"Among the warlords of the Republic of China, this one can already be ranked in the top five."

Four hundred thousand warlords is definitely a huge number.

Ordinary warlords in the Republic of China only had a few tens of thousands of troops. A warlord with a hundred thousand troops was already well-known and famous.

And Wu Fatian had an army of 400,000.

It's really unusual.

Xu Wenqiang said: "Wu Fatian is indeed extraordinary, otherwise, he would not be able to sit in the position of commander-in-chief of the five southeastern provinces coalition forces."

"Even these 400,000 troops are not all his troops. He still left some people in his headquarters."

"This Wu Fatian is not easy to deal with."

Ye Yunfei said: "Then how many people do we have now?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "Although we have recruited some people recently, even if we count them all, the total amount is only 250,000."

"There is a big gap between me and Wu Fatian."

Ye Yunfei nodded.

Indeed, in this sense, Wu Fatian’s troops are almost twice as many as Longmen’s.

Xu Wenqiang said: "Wu Fatian surrounded Shanghai with an army of 400,000, and he also announced that if Longmen did not leave Shanghai within three days, he would launch an attack."

"Brother Fei, Wu Fatian is coming with such force, how should we respond?"

Ye Yunfei asked: "How about Wu Fatian's weapons and equipment?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "Wu Fatian also has the support of foreign forces behind him. He has cooperated with Eagle Country, so Eagle Country supports him behind the scenes and gave him a batch of good weapons and equipment."

"This man has planes, cannons, and tanks. He has everything, including those that can fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the sea. His weapons and equipment should not be underestimated."

After listening to this, Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "He is indeed a strong enemy."

Ding Li, who was standing by, listened to what the two had said and immediately said, "This Wu Fatian is so powerful, how are we going to deal with him?"

"I feel like he's much better than Lu Yongxiang before."

Xu Wenqiang said: "Lu Yongxiang can only be regarded as one of Wu Fatian's subordinates. He is the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, while Wu Fatian is the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the five southeastern provinces. The difference between the two sides is huge."

"Comparing Lu Yongxiang and Wu Fatian, there is no comparison at all."

"Moreover, Lu Yongxiang was able to take the position of the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang because of Wu Fatian's support. Wu Fatian is his boss."

"How can a younger brother compare with a boss?"

After hearing what Xu Wenqiang said, Ding Li looked even more worried and said, "From what you said, it seems like we have no hope of winning."

Xu Wenqiang looked at Ye Yunfei and said, "Brother Fei, this Wu Fatian is indeed a tough opponent. Now he has surrounded Shanghai. We are in a bad situation."

"We really need to find a way."

Ye Yunfei said: "How do you think we should solve this problem?"

Xu Wenqiang frowned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I think that if we keep the green mountains, we will not be afraid of running out of firewood. It is not a bad idea for us to temporarily give Shanghai to him."

"We have people and troops in our hands. As the saying goes, land is dead, but people are alive. If we leave Shanghai, we can temporarily develop our power in other places."

"When Longmen has more people and becomes stronger, we will fight back and retake Shanghai."

"Shanghai Beach won't run away anyway. It will always be here. So, as long as we become stronger in the future, we will be able to regroup and take back Shanghai Beach from Wu Fatian."

"Shanghai will be ours sooner or later."

After Xu Wenqiang finished speaking, Ye Yunfei looked at him and said, "You mean to give up Shanghai and give it to Wu Fatian."

Xu Wenqiang said: "Yes, this is the best option at the moment."

Ye Yunfei took a puff of cigarette and said, "Leaving is indeed the best choice, but in my dictionary, there is no such option at all."

"I have never thought about leaving Shanghai. Shanghai is my home, so why would I want to leave?"

He actually knew that leaving as Xu Wenqiang said was indeed the best choice.

Because Shanghai today is indeed a place of controversy.

With the Tianlong Society inside and Wu Fatian outside, Longmen is hard to contend with.

However, Tianlong Club is where he has been staying for such a long time.

Ever since he came to Shanghai, he has regarded this place as his foothold. From a small gang, he has developed into the leader of Shanghai. The whole of Shanghai is under his control.

It is impossible for him to give up Shanghai at this time.

Hearing Ye Yunfei's reply, Xu Wenqiang sighed slightly.

He actually guessed Ye Yunfei's thoughts. Even if leaving was the best option, Ye Yunfei would not choose that because he was Ye Yunfei.

If it were someone else, they might have left, but Ye Yunfei would never leave.

He was just proposing it tentatively to see what Ye Yunfei thought.

Now that Ye Yunfei has decided to stay, there is nothing more to say.

At this time, Ding Li also said: "That's right, we can't leave. Shanghai is our foundation that we have worked so hard to build. We have paid so much in Shanghai and have worked so hard to develop Shanghai to its current level. How can we give up so easily?"

"If Wu Fatian wants to go to the beach, then we'll fight him. It doesn't matter if he outnumbers us. We've fought against those with more people before."

"Before, Lu Yongxiang had more people than us, but we still wiped them out in the end."

"So, fight him."

Ding Li’s idea was very direct, which was to just do it without leaving.

See who lives and who dies in the end.

Anyway, he has been through so many things and has never been a coward.
