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

"According to the intelligence sent by the foreigners, the current independence army not only has an advantage in numbers, but its equipment and weapons are also not to be underestimated."

Mr. Sun's slightly vicissitudes of life voice echoed in the conference room. Although those arrogant generals were not convinced, they did not dare to refute him face to face. They could only hang their heads and let his words go in one ear and out the other.

"The Heavy Armored Brigade is a tough nut to crack. We must treat it with caution. Moreover, after a year, no one knows what cards the Independence Army holds."

"Sir, you are right, but we are not third-rate people."

Jiang Xiansheng, who had been listening for a long time, still couldn't suppress his inner restlessness and was eager to speak to boost his own side's morale.

"The Nationalist Army currently commands nearly 300,000 troops. Although their weapons and equipment are inferior to those of the Independence Army, in terms of numbers, if we include the Feng faction, we have a force of 600,000 to 700,000."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, relying on the human wave tactic can also peel off a layer of skin of Zhang Ye!"

"Oh, that's not what I meant. You're oversimplifying the problem."

Without waiting for Mr. Sun to respond, Wang Wei, who had not spoken for a long time, corrected him with a smiling face, his hair combed like a dog licking it, and adjusted his suit.

"You only want to cooperate with the Feng faction, but haven't you considered that the Independence Army also has allies?"

"To be frank, I personally think this battle is not a good opportunity. We want to fight, and perhaps the Fengbei Army and the Independence Army want to fight even more!"

"Looking across Daxia, they have already occupied most of the more prosperous provinces in the north. Under such circumstances, King Fengbei has long been eager for a major war to expand his territory."

"If we go up now, it will play into their hands!"

"So what do you say we should do?"

Jiang Xiansheng didn't dare to contradict Mr. Sun, but he was not afraid of others.

Especially guys like Wang Wei, who have slicked back hair and sit in the office all day long talking, he is extremely disgusted and hates them.

"According to what you said, now is the time to fight. The Fengbei Army will eventually move south anyway. We might as well take this opportunity to join forces with Fengnanxi to fight against them. Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity and fight alone, we will have a hard time facing either side!"

"What do you mean by opportunity? You think this is an opportunity, but have you ever thought about the Feng Clan's attitude? Those guys are smarter than monkeys, and their geographical location is quite good, allowing them to attack or defend. Why would we travel thousands of miles to be their cannon fodder?"

Wang Wei immediately slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Jiang Xiansheng and scolding him.

He was just waiting for the other party to refute. The development of the National Army has reached a stage where one or two people can no longer influence decision-making.

Wang Wei and Jiang Xiansheng have never gotten along well, and both want to have more say at the conference table.

Today they finally came across a suitable opportunity, and none of them wanted to let it go.

"If you're afraid of death, just stay here!" Jiang Xiansheng didn't explain what happened just now, but directly attacked him personally: "Among the 120,000 brothers in our Min Prefecture, there are no cowards!"

"These days, whoever has the courage and strength, whoever can win the support of the people and the recognition of the tycoons, is the boss!"

"Besides, this battle not only involves the Feng faction, but also the support of the Eagle Sauce and British naval forces. In such a convenient situation, there are still people who oppose it and dare not draw their swords. I really don't know how he has survived until now with such a cowardly personality!"

"Who's a coward? You're just distorting the facts!" Wang Wei's face flushed slightly, his tone full of anger, staring at the other party and making excuses.

"Brothers, you risked your lives to follow us in order to complete the great cause of unification and save the people of the world, not to fight bravely and violently to satisfy the selfish desires of certain people!"

"Self-desire? Whose selfish desire? Who doesn't have selfish desire?"

Jiang Xiansheng looked at everyone in the room without hesitation and refuted in public.

"Who among those who can sit here today dares to say that they have no selfish desires?"

"Besides, isn't the purpose of conquering the independence army to complete unification as soon as possible?"

"Bullshit!" Wang Wei glared at him, his every word filled with resistance: "The Nationalist Army doesn't even have the strength to launch a large-scale campaign right now!"

"You're doing this just to send your brothers to their deaths!"

Bang!

"Okay!"

In the noisy conference room, Mr. Sun slammed his hand on the table, his serious expression showing indifference. He looked at the two of them and scolded them.

"What are you fighting for!?"

"The external battle hasn't even begun yet, and you two are going to have an internal fight first, right?"

"Sir, I absolutely have no intention of provoking internal strife, but the current national army is still too..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei was eager to explain.

He didn't want to be labeled a coward at this critical moment.

"Needless to say, foreign wars must be fought. This is an indisputable fact!"

Mr. Sun interrupted him and responded firmly.

The old man has his own plans. Although he is old, his mind is clear and he knows very well what he is doing.

In today's Daxia, the division of forces among various parties is clear and obvious.

Among them, the three most powerful factions are the Fengbei Army, the Independent Army and the Feng faction.

They respectively control the core areas of the country's economic and industrial development, which are home to countless business opportunities and advanced technologies, bringing them huge financial revenues and extremely precious resources every year.

In contrast, although there are some warlord forces in other remote or relatively backward areas, they are restricted by geographical conditions and their own development levels, and face many difficulties in recruiting soldiers and updating weapons and equipment. Further expansion has become almost a luxury.

Some warlords could only rely on collecting exorbitant taxes from local people to barely maintain the operation of their army, and their lives were very difficult.

This severely unbalanced distribution of power has also made the situation in the entire Great Xia Kingdom complicated and unstable.

As for the National Army, although it is not as powerful as the above three forces, its geographical location is not bad. Guangzhou and Fujian are close to the sea. Although some light industrial assets have not yet been fully developed, in general, some unexpected profits can be obtained every year.

Nowadays, their development has reached a bottleneck. If they want to continue to break through, there are only two ways. First, they can hold on to the occupied territory, rest for a few years, accumulate some assets, and promote the economic development of the province.

The second option is much simpler. It is to seize more territory through war, expand the territory rapidly, occupy more industrial development areas, form a war-to-war method, and launch a swallowing plan!

In comparison, the current situation in Daxia is more suitable for the second method.

Although most provinces have "beauties taken", the ruling officials have not done a good job in people's livelihood work. The warlords are only concerned with making money and do not care about the lives of the people at all.

On the surface, the financial report data is increasing every year, but in reality, the people have long been complaining, unable to get enough food, and full of hatred towards those in power.

In this environment, the governing philosophy of their national army appears particularly prominent and novel.

Therefore, it was for this reason that Mr. Sun decided to respond to the call of the Eagle Sauce and advance northward, taking advantage of the dissatisfaction of the Independence Army and taking the opportunity to expand his territory.

He knew clearly that Zhang Ye was still in a state of rapid development. If he did not fight now, in two years at most, no one in Daxia would be a match for the Independence Army!
