Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Now that there is a shortage of ammunition, there are actually only two solutions.

The first is to recruit four or five hundred thousand people to Longmen in a short period of time. In this way, the system task will be completed and a large amount of ammunition will definitely be obtained.

Not only ammunition, but also weapons and so on.

Although this system is rather tricky and rarely appears, it does have one thing in common: every time it appears, the rewards it gives out are very generous.

Moreover, the weapons provided by the system are basically extremely high-end and advanced.

Any weapon is extremely powerful.

For example, the previous fighter jets and warships can be said to be among the most advanced weapons of this era.

So it would be nice if the system could reward that again.

However, it is obviously very difficult to recruit 400,000 or 500,000 people to Longmen in a short period of time.

Although Xu Wenqiang had said before that there were many young and middle-aged people in the south and north of the Yangtze River who could be recruited to join Longmen.

However, recruiting people is a very tedious and complicated task.

When recruiting people, you must investigate their background and the comprehensive situation in all aspects. It is definitely not as simple as just recruiting them.

Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to recruit so many people in a short period of time.

Then there is only one other way left, which is to get some ammunition from other places.

In the Republic of China, arms were in short supply. Some small warlords did not have enough arms for themselves, and could not possibly give them to others. Therefore, they could only seek help from other big warlords.

While Ye Yunfei was thinking, he looked at Ding Li and said, "Ali, do you have any good suggestions?"

Ding Li said: "I thought, if it doesn't work, I can just grab some arms from other people."

"I heard that there are several warlords in the southeast region with a lot of guns and ammunition. I will take some people over to rob them and get some arms. It shouldn't be a problem."

Ye Yunfei looked at Ding Li and said helplessly: "Robbery, Ali, your method is really direct enough."

"Robbery can indeed get us some arms, but we are now a regular army, not bandits after all. If we rely on robbery to get arms, then if the news gets out, our Longmen's reputation will be very bad."

"Besides, the ones you can rob are basically those of small warlords. It's impossible for a big warlord to let you rob so easily."

"We can indeed get arms by robbing small warlords, but how much arms can those small warlords have? I estimate that the arms we robbed are not enough for our 200,000 people."

"So, the big warlords can't rob, and the small ones will be useless if they rob, and it will also ruin their reputation. There is no benefit in doing so."

After listening to Ye Yunfei, Ding Li touched his head and said, "Brother Fei, it seems to be true. What should we do? Tell me, I'll listen to you."

Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll find a way to deal with the arms. You stay in Shanghai for two days, and when I get the arms, you can go back with me."

Ding Li nodded: "Okay, Brother Fei, I'll wait for you then."

After agreeing, Ye Yunfei left Lido and went to find Zhang Yunwan.

The issue of arms is actually not difficult to solve. Just find a capable person and borrow some, or buy some.

Zhang Yunwan is undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, Zhang Yunwan was just a middleman, the person he was really looking for was Zhang Hanqing.

Zhang Hanqing is the King of Northeast China, and he has a lot of arms. Ye Yunfei also heard that there is a large military factory in Northeast China that specializes in the production of arms.

Ammunition and other things are produced in military factories in large quantities every day.

So, it should be no problem to ask Zhang Hanqing for some.

Ye Yunfei went to the Northeast Army’s office in Shanghai.

Zhang Yunwan is inside the office.

In fact, it was Ye Yunfei who helped her set up this office.

Because the Northeast Army is now one of the top three warlords in the Republic of China, there are a lot of things to do.

After arriving at the office, Ye Yunfei saw quite a few people inside, including many foreigners, who were probably discussing something.

Zhang Yunwan was also talking to a foreigner.

"Hey, Yunfei, why are you here?"

Zhang Yunwan also saw Ye Yunfei at this time, and immediately walked over and asked.

Ye Yunfei said: "Come to see you, you seem to be very busy."

Zhang Yunwan said: "It is quite busy. Since we are in the Northeast, we often have to deal with many foreigners and have a lot of things to deal with."

"My brother directly handles some of the more complicated matters, and he passes some of the simpler matters to me. So, there are many foreigners coming to the office to do business, and I have no way to deal with it."

Zhang Yunwan looked helpless.

After all, she is a member of the Zhang family, so she has to go if anything happens.

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "It's good to help your brother. It means that in your brother's heart, you are quite capable."

Zhang Yunwan said, "Come on, he's just lazy. Forget it, let's not talk about him. Freight, what are you doing here? You're not just missing me, are you? You have so many things to do in Longmen, you're dozens or hundreds of times busier than me, how can you have the time to come to see me?"

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Indeed, besides missing you a little, there is something else I want to ask you."

Zhang Yunwan pouted and said, "I knew you didn't come here to see me specifically. Tell me what's the matter."

Ye Yunfei said: "My army is very short of equipment recently. We have basically used up all the guns and ammunition, especially the bullets. We are almost out of them now."

"I heard that your Northeast Army has a huge ammunition depot, and there is also a special arsenal in the Northeast, so I want to ask your Northeast Army for help and see if you can lend me some arms first."

Zhang Yunwan said, "You are here to borrow arms."

Ye Yunfei said: "Yes, it is arms."

Zhang Yunwan said, "I don't know much about arms, and I definitely can't make the decision on this kind of thing. I have to ask my brother and see what he says."

Ye Yunfei said: "Then go ask your brother if he is willing to lend me some arms."

Zhang Yunwan looked at Ye Yunfei and said puzzledly: "You and my brother know each other, you can go find my brother yourself, why do you want me to go?"

"Besides, aren't you partners? It's normal for you to ask him for arms."

Ye Yunfei said: "No matter how good my relationship with your brother is, it is definitely not as good as your relationship with your brother. You two are blood relatives. It will definitely be better for you to find him than for me to find him."

"So, I have no choice but to trouble you."

Zhang Yunwan frowned and looked at Ye Yunfei. She always felt that Ye Yunfei had bad intentions and it was strange that he asked her to ask Zhang Hanqing for arms.
