Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Xu Wenqiang said it very directly. In total, 40,000 people could be recruited.

Five thousand more people than Dingli.

This number may not seem like much, but in fact, it is definitely not easy to recruit tens of thousands of people at once in such a short period of time.

In particular, almost all warlords across the country are now recruiting soldiers.

Some places have been recruited by the warlords several times in a row.

In many families, there is not even a single male child.

Therefore, under this circumstance, it is very difficult to recruit tens of thousands of people within a few days.

It was actually not easy for Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang to recruit so many people in just a few days.

Ye Yunfei thought about it.

Ding Li has 35,000 people, and Xu Wenqiang has 40,000 people.

All together, there are more than 70,000 people.

Liu Zhengfeng had also recruited soldiers before, and recruited about 20,000 people.

This means that, in total, there are more than 90,000 people.

There are more than 90,000 people, only a few thousand left away from 100,000.

He could think of a way to deal with these thousands of people.

Ye Yunfei held the phone and said, "Wen Qiang, you've done a good job. Keep recruiting. When you have enough people, bring them all to Shanghai immediately."

Xu Wenqiang said: "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Yunfei looked at Tan Xiong.

"Tan Xiong, I have a task for you."

Tan Xiong said, "Brother Fei, give your orders."

Ye Yunfei said: "Longmen is still about a few thousand people away from one million people."

"In two days, recruit 10,000 young and strong men from Shanghai to join Longmen. Is that a problem?"

Shanghai has always been Longmen’s base camp.

It is also because of this that there was not much recruitment in Shanghai before.

Moreover, Shanghai is developing very well nowadays.

In the past, there were countless gangs fighting for supremacy in Shanghai, and many ordinary people lived under the oppression of gangs and actually led very ordinary lives.

However, since Longmen took control of Shanghai and eliminated all the gangs in Shanghai.

The people in Shanghai actually have a pretty good life now.

Moreover, Longmen's management of Shanghai was basically very relaxed, and the taxes collected were relatively low.

Because of this, Shanghai now has a large population, a developed economy, and a prosperous society.

Shanghai is far ahead of other cities in China.

The total population of Shanghai has now reached more than four million.

This city is definitely the number one in the Republic of China, and even ranks among the top three cities in terms of population in the world.

And there was very little conscription in Shanghai before, so Shanghai's human resources, material resources, military resources, and economy are now very developed.

In Shanghai, recruiting 10,000 people should not be a problem.

Of course, the number of people in Longmen is only a few thousand away from one million.

However, to be on the safe side, it would be best to recruit 10,000 people.

With these ten thousand people and a million-strong army, there will basically be no more accidents.

After hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Tan Xiong nodded and said, "Brother Fei, don't worry. Given the current situation on Shanghai Beach, it won't be a problem to recruit 10,000 people."

"I will definitely recruit 10,000 people within two days."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "Go ahead and wait for your news."

"Yes."

Tan Xiong immediately went to recruit people.

Ye Yunfei looked at the Huangpu River outside the window and smiled slightly.

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for the million-strong army to arrive.

In two days, everything will be decided.

……

At the same time, after talking with Ye Yunfei, Ryuichi Kitajima and Hiroshi Yamamoto also took a boat back to a small island.

This small island is controlled by the island country.

There are many warships, fighter jets and even dozens of aircraft carriers parked around the island.

This is basically a military base of the island country.

Of course, not all of the Japs' troops are here.

However, this island is close to Longguo, so it has about a quarter of the Japanese troops and its firepower weapons are also very powerful.

Kitajima Ryuichi and Yamamoto Hiroshi have already landed on the island.

After reaching the island, they headed straight for a military camp in the center of the island.

This is the Japanese military command base.

At this time, dozens of high-ranking military officers from the island countries gathered in the military command base.

They were looking at the topographic map of Shanghai and the entire Republic of China.

Several people were pointing and discussing something on the sand table.

However, almost everyone's eyes were focused on the location of Shanghai Beach on the sand table.

The leader was a very tall man wearing a military uniform and leather boots, with yellow epaulettes on his shoulders with two stars on them.

The two stars represent that this person is a lieutenant general of the island country and the person with the highest rank and status in this military base.

This man's name is Kawaki Kihide, and he is one of the best military generals in the island country. Although he is young, he has already become a lieutenant general of the island country and holds a high position of power.

In addition to this, he has another identity, that is, the commander-in-chief of the island country's army attacking Shanghai.

The attack on Shanghai and even the entire campaign to attack the Republic of China were commanded by him.

Now, Kawaki Kihide's eyes are fixed on the area on the sand table that belongs to Shanghai.

There was a solemn look in his eyes.

After watching for a while, Kawaki Guixiu said, "Have Kitajima Ryuichi and Yamamoto Hiroshi returned?"

A man nearby said, "Commander Kawaki, they haven't come back yet."

Kawaki Guixiu said: "It seems that the negotiation between Kitajima Ryuichi and Ye Yunfei is not going smoothly."

"Otherwise, he should have come back a long time ago."

The man next to him said, "Commander Kawaki, you mean that Ye Yunfei will reject our request."

"But the benefit we gave him was not small."

Kawaki Guixiu said: "Of course, Ye Yunfei is different from other Dragon people. This person has a strong sense of family and country."

“Although the benefits we give him are not low, they may be useful to some ordinary Dragon Country warlords, but they may not be useful to people like Ye Yunfei.”

"For people like them, perhaps national dignity and national sentiment are the most important."

"No one and nothing can compare to their country."

"So, he may not agree to the conditions we put forward."

The soldier next to him heard this, nodded and said, "I understand, Commander."

"If that's the case, can Kitajima Ryuichi and Yamamoto Hiroshi return safely? Will Ye Yunfei kill them directly?"

Kawaki Guixiu said: "It depends on Kitajima Ryuichi's luck. If he is unlucky, it is not impossible for him to be killed."

"However, I do hope that he can come back alive, because I still have something I need to know from him..."
