Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Ye Yunfei said: "Wu Fatian, stop dreaming. I will never give Jiangnan and Jiangbei to you."

"Jiangnan and Jiangbei, don't think about it anymore. These two places will never belong to you in this life. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Fatian's face suddenly turned very ugly and he said, "Mr. Ye, I came here today to have a good discussion with you. I have expressed enough sincerity. I think I have done enough. I hope you won't go too far."

"No matter what you do, you must consider the consequences. Mr. Ye, have you considered the consequences before you say this?"

Ye Yunfei smiled and said to Zhang Hanqing beside him: "Hanqing, did you hear that? Commander Wu asked me to consider the consequences. Can I think that he is threatening me?"

"He asked you to be the middleman and meet with me just to threaten me? Commander Wu is really sincere."

Zhang Hanqing said to Wu Fatian: "Commander Wu, if you have anything to say, please speak in a nice way. Don't say such threatening words."

"Since everyone is here to negotiate, let's talk properly. If you say something like this, it will hurt our feelings."

Wu Fatian said, "Han Qing, you heard what I just said to Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye stole my Jiangnan and Jiangbei. These two places have always belonged to me. I want to take them back. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Besides, I'm not asking for it directly now, but I want to take back the two places with some rewards. As long as Ye Yunfei puts forward the conditions, I can basically agree to them."

"I have made my words so simple and clear, but Ye Yunfei still refuses to agree. Isn't this a bit too much?"

"Han Qing, please judge for yourself. Is it reasonable for him to do this?"

Zhang Hanqing said: "South and north of the Yangtze River, fundamentally speaking, belong to the Republic of China, not to any one person."

"Before, you just used your powerful strength to occupy Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Now someone uses even more powerful strength to snatch Jiangnan and Jiangbei from you. It seems that there is no problem."

"In today's Republic of China, strength is paramount. Whoever is stronger can gain more territory, and whoever is stronger can gain more say."

"Commander Wu, as the commander-in-chief of the five southeastern provinces' coalition forces, should be more aware of this."

"I said it's ok."

Wu Fatian said with a dark face: "I heard it, Han Qing, you are now completely in collusion with Ye Yunfei, right?"

"I came to you because I hope you can mediate the conflict between us, let Ye Yunfei return Jiangnan and Jiangbei to me, and we can reconcile again."

"I have high hopes for you, Han Qing, but now you are so partial to Ye Yunfei. This is totally inappropriate."

"You are also a very famous and reputable person in the entire Republic of China. Isn't it a bit too much to act like this?"

Zhang Hanqing said, "Commander Wu, I am here today with all my heart to mediate the conflict between your two families."

"If I didn't hope that your two families could reconcile, do you think I would interfere in such trivial matters?"

"But Commander Wu, before we met, you never said that you wanted both Jiangnan and Jiangbei."

"If you had told me in advance that you wanted both Jiangnan and Jiangbei, I wouldn't have been the peacemaker because I know very well that this is impossible."

“Who would be willing to give away the territory they have worked so hard to obtain to others for nothing?”

"Commander Wu, you are a top figure, don't you even know this most basic rule?"

Wu Fatian said, "South and north of the Yangtze River originally belonged to me. What's wrong with me taking them back?"

"Han Qing, you and I are both warlords. We can't just give our territory to others for free."

Zhang Hanqing said: "It is true that you and I are both warlords, but there are differences among warlords, and each warlord has his own faction. You and I are not on the same path."

"Long before you besieged Shanghai, I had already issued a statement to reach a cooperation with Longmen to form a military alliance."

"So, from the beginning to the end, I have always been on Ye Yunfei's side. As for agreeing to your request this time and asking Ye Yunfei to meet together, it is entirely because we have had a small amount of cooperation before."

"If not, do you think I would help you? It's impossible."

The Northeast Army and Wu Fatian had cooperated several times before.

Because both sides were among the top warlords in the Republic of China, and both were considered very powerful figures.

Therefore, it is inevitable that both sides will cooperate on some matters.

Not only him, but also his father, Marshal Zhang, had some cooperation with Wu Fatian.

So there is some relationship between the two sides.

It was for this reason that he agreed to be the middleman when Wu Fatian found him this time.

But no one expected that Wu Fatian’s target was Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

If he knew that Wu Fatian's destination was Jiangnan and Jiangbei, he would not let Wu Fatian and Ye Yunfei meet.

When Wu Fatian heard what Zhang Hanqing said, he clenched his fists and said, "So, we can't reach an agreement on this matter today."

Zhang Hanqing said: "The matter is mainly between you and Ye Yunfei, so whether the discussion is successful or not depends mainly on the two of you and has nothing to do with me."

"I'm just a middleman."

Wu Fatian nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Then I will ask Ye Yunfei directly."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Yunfei and said, "Ye Yunfei, I'm asking you one last time, Jiangnan and Jiangbei, are you going to give it back to me?"

Ye Yunfei said: "Wu Fatian, if there is nothing wrong with your ears, I think I have answered this question for you countless times."

"If you want Jiangnan or Jiangbei, there's no way. Not to mention Jiangnan or Jiangbei, I won't give you even a hair from any place around Shanghai. Do you understand?"

boom.

Wu Fatian slammed the table and stood up, saying sternly, "Okay, I get it. It looks like we have nothing to discuss today."

"Since you are unwilling to return Jiangnan and Jiangbei to me, I will have to take them back using my own methods. I just hope you won't regret it when the time comes."

Ye Yunfei said calmly: "No problem, I'm waiting for Commander Wu to come and take my Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Of course, the premise is that Commander Wu has the ability to do so."

After that, Ye Yunfei said to Zhang Hanqing: "Hanqing, we have almost finished talking about this matter. We can leave now."

Zhang Hanqing said: "Okay, let's go."

After saying that, the two left.

Wu Fatian was shaking all over, veins all over his body were about to burst.

His main purpose today is to take back Jiangnan and Jiangbei from Ye Yunfei.

Unexpectedly, Jiangnan and Jiangbei did not get it back. On the contrary, they were severely humiliated by Ye Yunfei and Zhang Hanqing.

"Ye Yunfei, Zhang Hanqing, sooner or later, I will kill you."

"And your territories, Shanghai and the Northeast, are also mine."

Wu Fatian said.
