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

"Hahahaha... Welcome, welcome, Marshal Zhang, come and visit us!"

In the reception room of the Independence Army, Zhang Ye brought a group of generals to organize a grand welcome ceremony, which was a great honor.

Old Zhang was not stingy. Not only did he bring a group of old friends to show his support, he also brought a lot of Fengbei specialties, including a lot of food, drinks and entertainment. It took two military vehicles to transport them all.

"Brother, we have known each other for a long time, and today we finally meet."

In front of the crowd, Old Zhang held Zhang Ye's hand tightly, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and was very affectionate.

"The last time Liuzi came, I wanted to go with him, but I was too busy with official duties and really didn't have time. What a pity."

"There's nothing to regret about this. As the old saying goes, good food is never too late. Our two families have a long history, and my brother Liuzi and I are as close as brothers. I'm not afraid of not having the chance to meet."

Zhang Ye spoke politely and eloquently, not at all inferior to Lao Zhang. As soon as he opened his mouth, he brought the two closer together.

This made many high-ranking officials of the Fengbei Army who came with them feel warm in their hearts.

"General, it's so lively today, how about taking a photo together?"

On the side, Lu Shan picked up a camera and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Zhang Ye was a considerate person. He was afraid that calling them Marshal would cause embarrassment to the two of them, so he specifically told his subordinates to just call him "General" today.

"Okay, okay, today is a day we must take a group photo."

Zhang Ye held Old Zhang and stood in front of the crowd. The old man and the child smiled happily at the camera. If you didn't know, you would think they were father and son.

"Come on, three, two, one, get ready!"

Bang!

As the flash of a bulb erupted and a puff of white smoke appeared, the first meeting between the two military leaders was preserved forever.

"Please give me a photo. This must be preserved."

Old Zhang shouted loudly, saying that he also attached great importance to this meeting, otherwise he would not have come here in person.

"Don't worry, Marshal. Just leave this matter to the people below to arrange."

Zhang Ye led everyone back to the long table and greeted them with a smile.

"Sit down, sit down, don't be polite. It's like being at home here. We're all family. Don't be polite."

After saying this, he did not forget to take care of the old man, gave up the main seat in the front and invited him.

"Marshal, please take a seat!"

"Oh, that's not possible!" Old Zhang, who had been smiling a second ago, quickly waved his hand to refuse when he heard that he was asked to sit down. He pulled out a chair nearby and said with a smile: "Although the guest should follow the host's wishes, he shouldn't steal the show. I'm fine sitting here."

"There is no distinction between host and guest today. You are the elder and the senior. Come on."

Zhang Ye was still being polite while holding onto the chair.

No matter what, the fact that they came all the way from the capital to support this event is a great honor.

He is just like this. If someone respects me an inch, I will respect him a yard. If you treat me, Zhang Ye, as your friend, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss!

"Alright, it's just one seat. It would be hypocritical to give it up. Come on and sit down."

In the end, Old Zhang waved his hand, signaling him not to worry about this issue anymore.

We are all family in this room, so just say what you want to say. Who would really care about this matter?

Besides, this is the base of the Independence Army, Zhang Ye's territory. People may be polite and call you senior, but you can't really treat them like a child.

If Lao Zhang believed it and sat down, the atmosphere here would instantly become half as bad as before.

The most important thing for people is to know themselves and know when to do what. This is very important.

……

"This place is bustling today. Many high-ranking officials from the Independence Army and Fengbei Army are here."

After solving the seating problem, Zhang Ye smiled and looked at Old Zhang on his left and asked.

"Marshal, would you please say a few words?"

"Come on, come on. I'm uneducated. I only have a few catchphrases when I open my mouth. I'm not presentable."

Lao Zhang smiled modestly.

After he said this, everyone at the scene relaxed a little.

After the fruits, pastries and various drinks were almost placed in the place, the door of the conference room was completely closed.

At this moment, Zhang Ye cleared his throat, looked at everyone, and spoke softly.

"First of all, I would like to welcome the generals of the Fengbei Army. Everyone should be aware of the reason for this charity dinner."

"To be honest, it's not a big deal, but it's pretty damn infuriating to have those foreigners do it."

"I welcome everyone's willingness to come and show their support, and I'm very grateful. Fundamentally, this incident was caused by me, so even if no one is willing to come, I can understand."

"Hey, what are you talking about? We are all from Daxia. Why don't we support our own place and flatter those foreigners?"

Taking advantage of this gap, Old Zhang took over the conversation and stated his position in a very domineering manner.

"On weekdays, when there's nothing to do, we can fight however we want behind closed doors. But when we encounter external incidents like this, we still have to unite and work together."

"The hundreds of millions of people in Daxia are all our brothers and sisters by blood. Fathers and sons fight together, and brothers fight together. At this critical moment, we must not fall behind!"

At this point, Old Zhang's tone became even lower and he expressed it in a very particular tone.

"This time, not only are we, the Fengbei Army, coming here, but before we leave, I personally sent a telegram to Cao Xin of the Feng Clan, demanding that he send a representative!"

"No one can be absent from the affairs of our Daxia people!"

clap clap clap...

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ye led the applause, with an admiring smile on his face, and praised.

"The Marshal's broad-mindedness and courage are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. It would be great if Daxia could have more heroes like you."

"Hey, I'm a worthless hero. The future still depends on you young people."

Old Zhang smiled very modestly.

He was very satisfied with the speech just now. Apart from anything else, it was very contagious. This wave of good popularity in front of Zhang Ye was enough to improve his popularity.

As for how to develop cooperation in the future, we will see in practice.

"The young have their uses, and the veterans have their style. These two classes are not mutually exclusive. The right way is to integrate with each other and learn from each other's strengths to make up for their weaknesses."

Zhang Ye added a very timely sentence.

It can be said that this touched the hearts of many senior officials of the Fengbei Army.

Recently, the establishment of the Fengbei Military Academy has brought them considerable pressure and a sense of urgency.

Seeing batches of young officers appearing one after another, they were extremely nervous and did not dare to give up even a little bit of their power, for fear that they would not be able to take it back once they gave it out.

Now, after hearing what Zhang Ye said, everyone's tense expressions relaxed a little.

It’s no wonder that this kid is popular. With just a few words, he even fooled these old guys.

Some people have even started to secretly make plans.

If Zhang Zuolin were to strip him of power one day, perhaps joining the Independence Army would be a good way out.
