Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

After Blair and others from the United States left, Ye Yunfei was thinking about the current situation.

There is only one week left before the Japanese invaders arrive.

It is not known whether Ding Li, Xu Wenqiang, Liu Zhengfeng and others can recruit 100,000 people within a week.

If we could recruit 100,000 people, that would be great.

However, he was worried that Xu Wenqiang, Liu Zhengfeng, Ding Li and others would not be able to recruit 100,000 people.

Although these three people are extremely capable people in Longmen.

However, one hundred thousand people is not a small number.

One hundred thousand people is enough to form a small warlord.

Moreover, the Republic of China’s source of manpower is generally exhausted.

It is quite difficult to recruit an army of 100,000 within ten days.

But now, he can only trust Xu Wenqiang, Ding Li, Liu Zhengfeng and others.

There is nothing to do but believe them.

Thinking about these things in his mind, Ye Yunfei suddenly felt a little irritated.

He wanted to go out for a walk and relax.

There have been so many things happening recently that it is hard for him to catch his breath.

Shanghai is now in the process of a storm, and I am afraid that it will soon become a ruin.

But for now, Shanghai is still safe for the time being.

So, Ye Yunfei planned to go out for a walk, relax, and take a good look at Shanghai.

He left Lido and walked to the Huangpu River.

Slowly go up along the Huangpu River and look at this prosperous and beautiful city.

Walking beside the Huangpu River, the river breeze blew and it was a little chilly.

It's just, it's really beautiful here.

Whether it is the bustling Shanghai in the distance or the slowly flowing Huangpu River here, they are all full of charm.

"What a beautiful city! It's a pity that it won't be long before it turns into a living hell."

Ye Yunfei sighed slightly and said.

If possible, he hopes to do his best to protect Shanghai and prevent it from being destroyed.

However, this is simply impossible.

The Japanese army of millions attacked Shanghai, and he also needed to dispatch countless troops to deal with the Japanese.

A week later, there may be an army of two to three million people engaging in a devastating battle on the beaches of Shanghai.

That battle must be earth-shattering and unprecedented.

By then, Shanghai will inevitably become a ruin.

Not only Shanghai, but the entire Republic of China may become a living hell.

Faced with this situation, Ye Yunfei could only shake his head and sigh.

Deep down, he doesn't like fighting.

Peace is what everyone pursues deep in their heart.

However, if someone wants to invade his country, bully his people, and humiliate his nation, then he will definitely not stand idly by.

Eliminate all those jackals that want to invade his country.

Ye Yunfei thought in his mind as he walked slowly forward.

Before he knew it, he had arrived in Zhabei District.

"How did you get here?"

Looking at the familiar Zhabei District in front of him, Ye Yunfei was slightly stunned.

He unexpectedly returned to the place where he had just started his career without realizing it.

Zhabei District, once the slums of Shanghai.

He has been here for more than ten years.

He spent his childhood, the poorest period of his life, here.

Including when Longmen was just starting out, he always lived in Zhabei District.

This was his home for a very long time.

It was also the place where he spent the happiest time.

It’s just that after Longmen grew up, he was too busy, plus various other reasons.

He hasn't been back here for a long, long time.

Now, as he walked along the Huangpu River, he unknowingly arrived in Zhabei District.

Perhaps it was fate that made him come back here to take a look.

Ye Yunfei entered Zhabei District and walked around casually in the district.

Everything here is so familiar.

All buildings are basically built of stone, and some are even built of wood.

It looks very backward and shabby.

However, it filled him with a warm feeling.

He spent a long period of his childhood and youth in this kind of wooden house.

At that time, we were really, really poor. We often didn’t even have enough to eat and were bullied by others all the time.

But looking back now, I was very happy at that time.

Now, he has everything, but he feels not as happy as before.

This may be what they mean when they say the older you get, the lonelier you become.

Ye Yunfei sighed slightly, he continued walking forward, and finally came to his former home.

This is still a stone house, built entirely of huge stones.

Surprisingly, the door was open.

Ye Yunfei walked straight in.

Everything in the room is very familiar.

There is no change compared to before.

As soon as he came in, he felt a strong sense of familiarity.

The room is simply furnished with a bed, a table, a stool and a stove.

Almost nothing else.

Such a small house is not even one percent of the size of where he lives now.

But after returning here, he felt a special sense of familiarity and closeness.

It feels like coming home.

Of course, this was originally his home.

"Brother Ye, you're back."

Just as Ye Yunfei was looking at the familiar room in front of him, a voice came from behind.

"Xiao Ya."

Ye Yunfei looked at the woman standing behind him in disbelief.

It turned out to be Xiao Ya.

Xiao Ya was also very surprised when she saw Ye Yunfei and said, "It's really you, Brother Ye. I just saw someone in the room and thought it was a thief. I didn't expect it to be you."

"Brother Ye, why are you back here?"

Xiao Ya was also very happy to see Ye Yunfei, and immediately walked up to Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei said: "I also returned here without realizing it."

"Just now I saw the door of the room was open, so I walked in. Xiaoya, why are you here?"

Xiao Ya said: "I will come back every few days to clean up the place."

"I came back to clean today as well. I didn't expect to see you, Brother Ye. It's great."

Xiao Ya's face was full of smiles. Obviously, she was very happy to see Ye Yunfei here today.

In fact, she hadn't seen Ye Yunfei for a long time.

These days, she missed Ye Yunfei very much.

But she knew that Ye Yunfei was very busy now, very busy, and was often not in Shanghai.

So, she didn't want to cause trouble for Ye Yunfei and didn't go to find him.

Only from time to time, I would come to Zhabei District to see where they used to live.

Clean up, tidy up the room.

Here, she could recall many things about being with Ye Yunfei...
