Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

After Longmen captured Lido, Lido remained a dance hall for a long time because Longmen was in great need of money at that time.

As the largest dance hall in Shanghai, Lido was quite profitable.

So, Lido still operates as a dance hall.

But later, as Longmen grew larger, more and more people came.

There is no place for every meeting.

So in the end, Ye Yunfei directly changed the entire Lido into the Longmen headquarters.

The Lido Ballroom was also completely cancelled.

The current Lido has completely become the most core power organ in Longmen, and there is no trace of any dance hall anymore.

In the middle of the Lido, there are several very large sofas.

This is basically where we talk about things.

At this time, Ye Yunfei invited Long Han to sit here.

After sitting down, Ye Yunfei asked his men to serve tea to Long Han.

Ye Yunfei looked at Long Han and said, "Commander Long, you came to Shanghai Beach specifically for me today. Is there something going on?"

Long Han said: "Yes, I did come to see you for something."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "Then Commander Long, just tell me what you want from me. We are old friends, so there is no need to be polite."

Long Han said: "I heard that they are going to take action against our four major warlords, right?"

After asking the question, Long Han looked straight at Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Where did Commander Long get this kind of gossip? Isn't this nonsense? My Longmen and your four families are partners. How could I possibly fight against you four warlords? This is impossible."

"Commander Long, you may have misunderstood."

Long Han said: "Master Ye, I came to you today with sincerity. I said so, so I must have received the news, otherwise, I would not risk coming to Shanghai."

"I'm already very sincere, so I hope that Master Ye can also be a little sincere to me. If we can be more honest with each other, the communication will be much smoother."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "That's true, Commander Long."

"But I really don't have such plans."

Long Han said: "Forget it, whether you have such an intention or not, I'd better tell you my purpose directly."

"I don't want to be an enemy of your Longmen, nor do I want to go to war with you, so I plan to lead the army and retreat to the southwest."

"I hope that the fight between you, Longmen, and Yan Laoxi, Feng Yuxiang, and Li Bai will not affect me. No matter how you fight, I will not intervene, and similarly, I will not help any of you."

"I don't know. If I do this, will you accept it, Master Ye?"

After listening to Long Han, Ye Yunfei frowned and said, "Retreat to the southwest and don't participate in the battle between us."

"Commander Long, how could you have such an idea?"

Long Han said: "I know I am no match for you. I just want to protect myself now and don't want to get involved in any disputes."

"No matter how you fight, whoever wins or loses will suffer huge losses. I just want to manage my southwest well and don't want to suffer any losses myself."

"That's why I came to see you."

"You and Yan Laoxi are at war, and I will not get involved in either of your affairs."

"I just hope that your fight won't affect me. I don't know how."

After Long Han finished speaking, he looked at Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei lit a cigarette and said calmly: "Commander Long, I'm afraid you are a little naive to think so."

"Since you said we are going to go to war, then you should also know why we are going to go to war."

Long Han said: "I probably know."

Ye Yunfei, Yan Laoxi, Feng Yuxiang, Li Bai, these people started the war with only one purpose, which was to fight for the ownership of Longmen.

Today, the Dragon Kingdom is in great chaos, with countless warlords ruling the country and no unified regime.

Those warlords all want to obtain the Dragon Kingdom and all want to become the master of the Dragon Kingdom.

Ye Yunfei, Yan Laoxi, and Feng Yuxiang are all like this.

But now, Ye Yunfei is the strongest and most likely to do this.

As for others, such as Yan Laoxi and Feng Yuxiang, they are relatively weaker, so their chances are smaller.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Laoxi, Feng Yuxiang, and Li Bai have to unite and kill Ye Yunfei, the strongest one.

Then they will fight for the world.

This is already common knowledge.

Ye Yunfei said: "Since you know the purpose of our war, then you should know that your Xinnan is also part of the Dragon Kingdom."

"To unify the Dragon Kingdom, we must occupy your southwest. Without the southwest, can the Dragon Kingdom still be considered unified?"

"You want to retreat back to the southwest and not get involved in our dispute. Do you think that's possible?"

"Even if no one hits you now, after the fight between us is over, the winner will definitely hit you."

"Commander Long, everything I said is true. You are a smart man, you should understand."

After listening to Ye Yunfei's words, Long Han sighed deeply.

Of course he knew that what Ye Yunfei said was true.

It is simply impossible for the Southwest to break free from the constraints of the Dragon Kingdom and develop independently.

It is completely impossible for him to monopolize the southwest and become a hegemon.

But this was indeed the best outcome he hoped for.

He knew that this matter could not be implemented, but he still came to discuss it with Ye Yunfei, hoping to get a glimmer of hope.

But now, listening to what Ye Yunfei said, it is almost impossible.

No matter what, he, and Southwest, will inevitably be involved in this dispute.

It was absolutely impossible for him to get away unscathed.

Thinking of this, Long Han gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll tell you another thing."

"Master Ye should be interested in this matter."

Ye Yunfei took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Commander Long, please speak. I am all ears."

Long Han stared at Ye Yunfei for a while and said, "I plan to bring my troops to join your Longmen."

"What."

Ye Yunfei was originally smoking, but when he heard this, the whole cigarette fell out of his mouth.

Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang, who were sitting next to them, were also surprised.

It was obvious that he didn't expect Long Hanhui to say such a thing.

Ye Yunfei looked at Long Han and said, "Commander Long, I didn't hear clearly what you just said. Can you say it again?"

Long Han said: "I said, I want to lead troops and join Longmen."

"Master Ye, I have made it clear enough now."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "I understand. However, why do you suddenly want to join Longmen when you are one of the four major warlords in the Republic of China with powerful troops and horses?"

"There must be a reason for doing this."

Long Han said: "Of course there is a reason. I know that you are about to take action against other warlords in Longguo. I don't think I am your opponent."

"Besides, even if the four of us join forces, we can't defeat you. Rather than making a meaningless sacrifice, it's better to join you now..."
