The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"General Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you with your late visit."

Jin Junli came to the door, shook off the snowflakes on his shoulders, and bowed politely to apologize.

"Haha, what are you talking about? I just got some midnight snack, let's have a couple of bites together."

Zhang Ye smiled nonchalantly. Compared to those polite words, he wanted to know more about the purpose of this kid's late-night visit.

If I'm not mistaken, this guy must have something to ask for.

"Then I'm sorry to bother General Zhang."

Jin Junli walked quickly to the table, lowered his head somewhat awkwardly, and did not dare to look directly into Zhang Ye's eyes.

At that time, Lu Shan brought him a new set of bowls and chopsticks, and then he retreated behind Zhang Ye and resumed his daily work as an adjutant.

"What's wrong, Brother Jin? Do you think the food is not to your liking?"

Zhang Ye looked at him like a stupid goose without any movement, and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

How could the descendants of the royal family of Silla become so timid and cowardly?

Has he really been tamed by those Sakura people?

"No, no, no, General Zhang, don't get me wrong. I had a full meal at night and I'm not very hungry now!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Junli hurriedly shook his head, forced a flattering smile, and waved his hand.

"You eat, you eat first..."

"Okay, then please do as you please."

Zhang Ye was not in a hurry either. He wanted to see how long this kid could hold it in.

"Have you enjoyed your time in Hong Kong these past few days? We don't have anything special here. If there's anything we haven't done well for you, I hope Brother Jin won't mind."

"No, no, it's a huge honor for General Zhang to take time out of his busy schedule to accompany me."

Jin Junli smiled awkwardly, but was thinking about how to start the conversation.

Today's opportunity is very suitable and must not be missed.

"Hahaha, as long as Brother Jin is satisfied."

Zhang Ye just didn't lead the way anywhere else. He picked up the soup spoon and started to scoop the soup.

……

After about ten minutes, the meal was almost finished. Zhang Ye wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, stood up, walked to the stove, and yawned.

He now admires this kid a little. He just sits there and chats awkwardly for a long time. He doesn't know what he is waiting for and just doesn't talk about business.

In this case, Zhang Ye didn't plan to continue playing with him and immediately ordered him to leave.

"Brother Jin, it's getting late. If you don't have anything else, how about we talk later?"

"Ah good!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Junli nodded stupidly and stood up to leave.

But before he stood up completely, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip. He was struck by lightning and sat there like a statue.

Damn it, Jin Junli, you are such a waste. What are you hesitating about with such a good opportunity today!

Do you know what the current situation in the country is like? Do you know what kind of life the resistance army is going through?

If you can reach a cooperation with General Zhang during this trip, it will be great news for the rebels!

Jin Junli, for your family, parents, relatives, and the future of Silla, you must shoulder your responsibilities!

Thinking of this, Jin Junli's face turned red and he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Yes, something's up, General Zhang."

At this point, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he has to bite the bullet and give it a try.

For the future of Silla, he would accept it even if he was humiliated!

"We are all friends, but it's okay to say it..."

Zhang Ye returned to the living room and picked up the teacup to rinse his mouth.

You can't eat too much late at night. He now feels like there is food accumulation in his stomach and it has no sign of digestion at all.

"I, I came here today because I have something I want to ask General Zhang for help."

Jin Junli stood up, took two steps back, bent down, and asked very sincerely.

"Silla has been occupied by the Sakura Kingdom for a long time. They have been oppressing our people for years and treating us like livestock and slaves, exploiting us like crazy!"

"My resistance army has been established for many years, but due to lack of resources and support, we have never been able to compete with them. We can only watch helplessly as the people in our country live a life worse than pigs and dogs."

Perhaps it was because he was reminded of the sad things in the past, Jin Junli's eyes were red and filled with unspeakable anger, and every word he said was sonorous and powerful.

"Today, on behalf of the Silla royal family and the people of Silla, I, Jin Junli, ask General Zhang to lend a helping hand and save our country and our people!"

Having said this, Jin Junli seemed to have made up his mind. He fell to his knees and kowtowed three times to Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye did not have much emotion about this. He expected that this boy had something to ask for, but he did not expect that it was so big.

Support Silla and fight against Sakura Country?

This idea sounded very exciting to Zhang Ye, but it was extremely difficult to actually put it into practice!

Now Silla has become a colony of the Sakura Country, and their troops and spies are everywhere. No matter whether you are providing manpower or material support, you will definitely be discovered as soon as you dock.

Not to mention whether doing so will lead to retaliation from the Sakura Country, even if they turn a blind eye and just confiscate your supplies, it will be enough to make you feel distressed for a while.

Unless this group of people has their own channels to get things in.

But if that was the case, why didn't he seek support from the Fengbei Army?

Lao Zhang was so close to Silla that he could reach the other side in the time it took to urinate. Logically, he should have secretly planned such an opportunity a long time ago.

"Why not look for the Fengbei Army?"

Zhang Ye asked the most crucial question. He wanted to hear what Lao Zhang’s attitude was towards this.

"Marshal Zhang doesn't want to break up with the Sakura people..."

Jin Junli raised his head, tears glistening in his eyes, and responded very honestly.

"Also, we can't afford to buy weapons and equipment."

"Heh..." Zhang Ye laughed out loud when he heard this.

It's understandable that Lao Zhang is unwilling to help since there is no money to be made and no advantage to be gained.

"Then why did you come to me? Do you think I would help you for free?"

"I really have no other choice."

Jin Junli knelt on the ground and replied in a very low voice.

"I've also looked for the Eagle Sauce, but they don't care about a small country like ours. In Daxia, apart from you and the Fengbei Army, I don't have any connections with other warlords. I don't even have a chance to meet them."

“General, it’s not free. As long as you can provide us with support, once we drive away the Sakura people, Silla will definitely be willing to mobilize the entire country to repay this debt!”

"Fuck it, you're just painting cakes for me!"

Zhang Ye was amused by the boy's remarks.

In the past, he was the one who made promises to others, but now, this guy has fooled him.

How brave!

“It’s not a cake, General, what I said is true. As long as you are willing to help Silla, we can agree to any conditions!”

Jin Junli didn't understand what the meaning of "cake" was, he had already given it his all.

Even if I lose all my face today, I must give it a try and do my utmost to get the support of the Independence Army!
