The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord
Chapter 118: Reactions from all parties, gathering at the station
The situation suddenly changed. Independence Army leader Zhang Ye faced the foreigners and sent a telegram to the whole country to support the student movement!
Gathering in Shanghai! Charity dinner becomes a competition scene!
"Independence Army leader Zhang Ye is about to host Daxia's first charity dinner. His intention is very clear: to slap the foreigners in the face!"
Peace talks conclude, student movement triggers new wave!!
As shocking news came out one after another, Zhang Ye's name spread quickly across the country like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake.
The usually staid and meticulously worded newspapers seemed to be under a spell, placing this news prominently on their front pages. Eye-catching topics popped up like mushrooms after rain, as if an endless treasure trove was waiting to be unearthed.
In the eyes of some people, Zhang Ye's move is purely under the banner of patriotism, taking advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and trying to gain the support and admiration of the younger generation.
However, there are also other people who hold different views. They think that Zhang Ye has always been disgusted with the arrogance and rudeness of foreigners. The reason why he held this dinner was to show his determination and to awaken the patriotism hidden in the minds of the public.
Regarding this matter, regardless of how various forces comment on it, the students who are marching or preparing to march are like they have been injected with chicken blood, and their emotions are even more excited and agitated.
Originally, they were planning to bring down those old Beiyang forces, hoping to force that group of people out and give everyone a satisfactory explanation.
After all, this group of people belonged to the old government and had risked their lives to serve the royal family of the previous dynasty.
Even if they did not sign the previous treaties, this group of people should still be responsible for them.
However, what they didn't expect was that Zhang Ye was the first to step forward without waiting for those old guys to come forward.
Although he did not verbally affirm or encourage the parade, a charity dinner was enough to express his position and attitude.
Moreover, he held it on the same day as the foreigners, and even the banquet venues were door to door. The meaning was obvious enough and did not require any explanation.
Zhang Ye's move was extremely tough and instantly won the support of college students across the country.
In this era when foreigners are rampant and warlord forces are complex, all the top officials live for themselves and bow down to money and power.
The fact that Zhang Ye was able to hold a charity dinner under such tremendous pressure clearly shows that he was facing challenges head-on and was unwilling to succumb to foreign forces.
Such passionate and tenacious behavior is a perfect match for these college students.
At the same time, it also greatly encouraged them and made them more determined in their choices and directions!
Of course, where there are joys, there are sorrows...
When the news came out, the foreigners in the Shanghai International Settlement all looked extremely ugly, as if their parents had died. They gathered together and held a small meeting.
"Mr. Morton, it looks like your investment plan is going to fail early."
In the crowd, Wells, who had failed to reach an agreement with Lu Shan, looked at the guy opposite him with a bit of gloating and teased him.
"Originally, a 100 million dollar investment wasn't a big deal, but Zhang Ye has been going against us time and time again. This isn't a good sign, and the higher-ups don't like overly aggressive partners."
"I don't think so." Morton, who had met with Zhang Ye before, faced the crowd's questioning gaze and asked, "Why are we seeking his cooperation? Isn't it to achieve armed unification as quickly as possible, so that we can obtain sufficient resources and benefits in the shortest possible time?"
"As things stand, there's no force more powerful, more determined, or more driven than Zhang Ye. Don't worry about whether he'll obey or not. As long as the contract is signed in black and white, it's legally binding. Why bother trying to control him?"
"What a joke! We didn't pick up our money. Such a tough and treacherous person is not worth investing in!"
Wells sneered and was the first to vote against it.
"Don't say he's powerful. As long as we have the funds, whoever we want to be powerful will be powerful!"
"Zhang Ye can be arrogant and have his own personality, but just wait and see, he will also be destroyed because of his arrogance!"
"That's right, he's just a small warlord, but he really thinks he's the savior."
At the long table, the British representatives held the same opinion as Wales and directly expressed their attitude in front of everyone.
"We've received orders from above to absolutely not provide any support or funding to the Independence Army. Their actions don't meet our aid standards and also go against our original intention of developing the colony!"
"See, there's no need to argue now."
Wells looked at Morton with a smug look on his face, feeling that his decision was correct, at least the adults above him thought so too.
If Zhang Ye was willing to listen, he would definitely be the first choice of these foreigners, but unfortunately, the little guy is still young, and the passion in his body has not suffered the beatings of secular society, and he is still self-centered.
Do things based on your own preferences, without considering the interests and feelings of others and partners.
If he continues to develop in this way, in three to five years at most, the Independence Army will become the target of everyone's siege.
Born in this era, we cannot see the current situation clearly. Instead of joining forces with the strong, we pity and empathize with the ants and cannon fodder at the bottom.
Do you really think you are invincible and have achieved national unification?
Trying to win over people's hearts by loving them like one's own children at this time is simply playing with fire and getting burned!
……
The next afternoon, the special train will arrive at Shanghu Station.
Because Zhang Ye had released the news in advance that he was going to hold a charity dinner here.
Reporters from newspapers in Shanghai began to wait near the train station the night before, hoping to get first-hand information as soon as possible, and also wanted to meet the leader of the independent army who was only heard of but not seen.
According to folk rumors, Zhang Ye is a very young and handsome leader in his early twenties, but he is extremely mysterious and has hardly ever been interviewed by any newspaper. Even his own newspaper has not revealed any information about him.
Only in August last year, when Zhang Ye was still working for the Duan faction, did he conduct a personal interview with a Beijing newspaper about the bandit suppression issue.
But unfortunately, that interview was conducted very hastily, only recording his personal words and deeds, without taking any photos.
It is also for this reason that this trip to Shanghai has attracted so much attention from newspapers.
After all, the Independence Army has long entered the public eye and become a topic of conversation among the masses. As their leader, Zhang Ye's personal news has also attracted a lot of public attention.
Everyone also wants to see what this legendary figure looks like!
Especially the college students, they are very curious about this.
As young people, they are already ahead of 99.9 percent of their peers by being able to go to college at this age.
But compared with Zhang Ye, those college grades are nothing!
While they were studying in the classroom, he had already led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the famous Beiyang warlord. Such a feat would be difficult to find anyone else in the whole world to accomplish!
