Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

"Brother Ye."

Hearing that it was Ye Yunfei, Zhang Hanqing was stunned, and then immediately said: "It turned out to be Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I thought it was an ignorant subordinate, so I said that, I didn't expect it to be you, sorry."

Ye Yunfei said: "It's okay, Hanqing, I called mainly to ask, I heard that there are some disagreements within your Northeast Army about the Northeast Army joining Longmen, I don't know what's going on."

When mentioning this, Zhang Hanqing sighed and said, "Brother Ye, this matter is really hard to explain. I don't know how to explain it to you."

"Originally, all the senior members of our Northeast Army have already discussed it and unanimously agreed to join Longmen. There is no problem."

"But this morning, didn't the four major warlords of the Republic of China suddenly issue a statement, saying that if the Northeast Army joined Longmen, they would unite and attack Peking fiercely to wipe out our Northeast Army in Peking."

"Moreover, they have already sent troops and are heading towards our Peking."

"After receiving this news, some of our Northeast Army's senior officials became a little scared. They believed that the safety of the Northeast Army should be given priority and that they should not join Longmen at this critical moment and bring danger to the Northeast Army."

"Some people also thought that we couldn't become enemies with the four major warlords of the Republic of China just for the sake of Longmen, so there were internal disagreements."

“I’m trying to figure it out now.”

Zhang Hanqing told Ye Yunfei the current situation within the Northeast Army.

After listening to what Zhang Hanqing said, Ye Yunfei said: "Hanqing, you are the commander of the Northeast Army, can't you be the master of the Northeast Army?"

"You give the order, how dare those senior elders not obey it?"

Zhang Hanqing sighed and said, "Although I am the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, I am still young after all. Some of the senior leaders of the Northeast Army will not completely listen to me."

"Some things are decided after they discuss them. Although I have a certain say in the Northeast Army, if I really encounter some particularly big things, I still have to get their consent."

"So, in this situation now, I am a little helpless."

After listening to what Zhang Hanqing said, Ye Yunfei cursed him in his heart as a waste.

This piece of Han Qing really disappointed him.

Even though he was the boss of the Northeast Army, he couldn't even manage the people under his command.

When encountering problems, we have to discuss them with the so-called senior veterans.

How is this different from being sidelined?

Zhang Hanqing, the leader of the Northeast Army, was indeed a bit cowardly.

He thought for a while, and finally said: "Han Qing, then how do you think the senior leaders of your Northeast Army can smoothly merge the Northeast Army into Longmen?"

Zhang Hanqing said: "I have already tried to persuade them, but they are still worried that the four major warlords will be detrimental to Peking."

“So, if we can’t deal with the four major warlords, it will still be difficult.”

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "I understand. That is to say, as long as I eliminate the threat of the four major warlords, the Northeast Army can smoothly join Longmen, right?"

Zhang Hanqing said: "That's what I mean."

Ye Yunfei said: "Okay, I understand, then you wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Yunfei looked at the map of the Republic of China in front of him.

According to Zhang Hanqing, only when the external threats from the four major warlords were eliminated, could the Northeast Army successfully join Longmen.

Xu Wenqiang also said that the four major warlords are now leading their troops towards the city of Beiping.

Does that mean we have to go to war with these four warlords in advance?

Ye Yunfei's eyes were somewhat solemn.

In fact, he actually planned to wait until the Northeast Army was incorporated into Longmen before going to war with these warlords.

With the joining of the Northeast Army, the total number of people in Longmen will reach one million, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced.

In this way, the probability of winning against these four warlords will be much higher.

He was worried that if Longmen was the only one with such a small number of troops, they would not be able to deal with the four major warlords.

Although Longmen is already very strong now, with an army of nearly 700,000, and has just obtained a large amount of weapons and equipment from the system.

However, these four warlords have been entrenched in the Republic of China for a long time and are deeply rooted.

Moreover, they are in collusion with some Western countries, and even their weapons, munitions, and funds are provided by some Western countries.

Therefore, their military combat effectiveness is equally strong.

If Longmen faced any warlord alone, he could deal with it easily and there would be no threat.

However, if we go to war with these four major warlords at the same time, it would probably be very dangerous.

One careless move, and the whole game is lost.

He doesn't want to take any risks now. He just wants to proceed steadily and take over the entire Republic of China.

But now, if these four warlords are not dealt with, the Northeast Army will not be able to join Longmen.

This will create a vicious cycle.

If the four major warlords are not dealt with, the Northeast Army cannot join.

If the Northeast Army does not join, it will be unable to deal with the four major warlords.

It's really troublesome.

Ye Yunfei frowned and thought for a while, and finally dialed Xu Wenqiang's number.

"Brother Fei, what's going on?"

Xu Wenqiang said.

Ye Yunfei said: "The situation is similar to what you said. There are disagreements within the Northeast Army. They are worried that the four major warlords will pose a threat to them. Therefore, we must first find a way to resolve the threat of the four major warlords before we can join Longmen."

Xu Wenqiang said: "But the threat from the four warlords may not be easy to resolve."

"They are now on their way to Peking with their troops. Moreover, I received news that they are coming by train. It is estimated that they will reach the city of Peking in less than a day."

"If they really bring a large number of troops to surround the city of Beiping, the situation will become very complicated."

After listening to Xu Wenqiang, Ye Yunfei said, "You mean, the armies of the four major warlords will reach Beiping City within one day, right?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "That's right, Brother Fei, according to their speed, they can reach the city of Beiping within a day."

"Moreover, if they have already set out now, it will probably take less than a day, and they will arrive in Peking City by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Ye Yunfei said in a deep voice: "In that case, I will have to go meet them first."

"Meet them."

Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Xu Wenqiang's eyes condensed and said, "Brother Fei, what do you want to do? Go to war with them directly?"

"This is too risky. We at Longmen have not made any preparations. Moreover, they are four families working together with strong forces and horses. If we rashly open fire on them, it may be very dangerous."

It would be fine if it was just one family.

The key is that the other side is the four major warlords, and these four warlords have joined forces.

Xu Wenqiang did not think that, without the Northeast Army joining Longmen, Longmen's current strength would be able to deal with the combined forces of the four major warlords...
