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

"Notify Fang Yu and coordinate with the logistics department to quickly transfer all available resources within the three provinces of Donglu, including the arsenal's inventory, to the Central Plains battlefield."

"Ammunition reserves, in particular, must be absolutely secure and must be mobilized in the shortest possible time. If the quantity is insufficient, please report it immediately and I will find a solution."

Since it was time for a decisive battle, there was no need to hesitate. Zhang Ye had already made up his mind to fight to the bitter end. He would clear out all the resources of the three provinces of East Shandong in the past year at once and go all in. Even if something unexpected happened in the end, he would accept defeat!

"Marshal, there's no need to do this. The Feng clique has already been held back by the Zhili. As long as we hold on to the Central Plains battlefield, the Feng clique will be destroyed within two months!"

After hearing his plan, Lu Shan immediately spoke out to stop him and gave urgent advice.

"Your plan is far too radical. If uncontrollable factors arise, it could very well ripple through the entire system, leading to a logistical collapse for all troops."

"I can't wait any longer. The flood in Zhijiang Province is a huge project. If we don't deal with these bastards, they'll keep popping up in front of you."

Zhang Ye shook his head upon hearing this and murmured softly.

"Xu Zhenlin is right. Now is an opportunity. Although we cannot achieve unification, we can use this war to perform surgery on Daxia and clean up those dirty, mutated virus organs."

"But the price is too high. We're using all our resources to help others, and in the end, we don't get any benefit at all!"

Lu Shan held his head high, no longer caring about status or hierarchy, and insisted on persuading him.

If Zhang Ye only mobilized the existing resources of several large corps to fight, he would definitely strongly support it. At worst, he could recuperate slowly after the battle and recover bit by bit.

But if we use the hard-earned wealth of the three provinces of East Lu to fight this war, it would be too risky.

What war is about is resources and logistics, especially in large-scale military operations, which often involve tens or even hundreds of thousands of people. Not to mention food, drink, and toileting, medical resources, weapons, ammunition, and daily necessities are all of paramount importance.

The losses from the previous battles were basically exchanged by Zhang Ye from the system, and only a small amount of food and artillery shells needed to be provided by the three provinces of Donglu.

Now, the floods in Zhijiang Province require a large amount of rescue equipment and various medical resources every day. The little public opinion points Zhang Ye collected are not enough to spend, and the savings he had saved before are almost used up.

There is no problem in fighting a small-scale offensive or protracted war at this time, but if all resources are gathered for a final battle, I am afraid that the finances of the three provinces of East Lu and the foundations they have painstakingly built will be destroyed in one fell swoop!

In order to fulfill his promise to the Duan family, he used up all his family's wealth and worked hard to death. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a fool!

"Shanzi, you still don't understand. The greatest benefit is to beat them into submission and stop them from provoking further war."

Zhang Ye took a deep breath, pointed at Qujiang not far in front of him, and said softly.

"The people of Daxia are suffering terribly. They struggle to get enough food year-round, yet they still have to endure the ravages of war. Xu Zhenlin's bombing of Qujiang is the most direct example. His single action caused disaster for millions of people north of Wulin."

"So, my idea is very simple. Whether or not we can achieve unification is another matter. First, I want to use this opportunity to cripple those ambitious forces, rendering them unable to continue fighting and forcing them to lie low. This is the safest approach at the moment."

"They have foreign support behind them. They have money and weapons. It will be difficult to defeat them."

Lu Shan had been lurking in the intelligence department these days and had some knowledge of the inside information of these domestic forces, so he spoke frankly.

"Besides, whether it's the Feng and Duan factions of the Nationalist Army or the Hedong Army and Fengbei Army, they're all the same. They all see us as a thorn in their side. If it really comes to a life-or-death situation, I'm afraid these people will join forces to resist the Independence Army's attack."

"Chuzhou Shipyard, the second fleet is about to be launched, right?"

As the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Zhang Ye suddenly changed the subject and directly changed the topic of conversation.

This scene made Lu Shan stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and nodded in response.

"It's expected to launch at noon tomorrow. From what we've heard so far, the only fleet in the surrounding waters is the Eagle Sauce fleet, temporarily docked at the port of Sakura Country. I guess they're determined to continue stirring up trouble."

"Inform them that launching the vessel officially marks the beginning of the battlefield. Starting tomorrow, their target is clear: head straight for the South China Sea. Keep a close eye on all foreign vessels. If they dare approach Daxia waters, open fire!"

Zhang Ye rubbed the cigarette ash on his fingertips and gave the order in a slow and firm tone.

"Don't these guys rely on foreign supplies to survive? I'll cut them to pieces right here on the sea!"

"The radiation in the southern seas is widespread. It would be difficult for a single fleet to handle it. How about asking Qindao's First Fleet to send some support?"

Lu Shan held the small notebook and made a suggestion while taking notes.

Due to the imminent war and the turbulent situation, the first fleet of Qindao Shipyard was successfully launched three days ago after a long period of overtime.

It is currently swimming near the West Sea (another name), adapting to the waters while conducting its first live-fire exercise. The surrounding waters are like Chinese New Year every day, with rumbling explosions and countless waves.

"No need. Even if they have escort ships, it's only a fleet at most. Do they really think that thing is cabbage and everyone has it?"

Zhang Ye rejected his proposal. After arranging all the affairs, he still felt uneasy in his heart, as if there was something important that he had not paid attention to.

Sakura country!

Carefully recalling the conversation just now, the three words "Sakura Country" suddenly appeared in his mind.

Yes, it’s these little dwarfs!

From the previous parade in Shanghai to the charity dinner, and up to the current warlord chaos, these bastards never seem to step forward to express their views. Even in this warlord chaos, they have not made any big moves. This is really abnormal and totally inconsistent with their usual style!

"What bad things are Sakura Country planning lately? Why haven't they made any moves?"

"This one……"

Lu Shan paused when he heard this, then hurriedly searched for news about Sakura Country in recent days. After sorting it out a little, he responded.

"They've been quite quiet lately. There hasn't been any activity from the Ito Trading Company in Donglu. They're just busy doing business every day, dealing in textiles, silk, and other items."

"The situation on the Silla battlefield is quite interesting. The Jin family's rebels have been relentless and appear to be capable of resisting head-on. This has forced the Sakura Kingdom to send more troops to suppress them."

"Perhaps because of this, they don't have the energy to pay attention to the Daxia battlefield."

"Tsk...you still have to be careful. None of these bastards are good. They will definitely not let go of the opportunity to take your life when you are sick. It's better to be careful."

Zhang Ye had a complicated expression, knowing very well that this group of people were of the same character. In comparison, the Sakura Country was even more despicable than countries like the Eagle Sauce. They were like hyenas hiding in the dark, not showing up easily. Once they showed up, they would definitely bite hard at the most critical moment!
