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

The sudden explosion disrupted everyone's plans and caused heavy losses to the staff inside and outside the station.

The director of the Donglu Provincial Police Department, who was in charge of security work, ran into the station with his men. When he saw the dead bodies everywhere and the bombed trains, he collapsed to the ground, pointing tremblingly at the still burning carriages and letting out a shrill roar.

"Save them! Hurry and put out the fire in the supply car first. It's full of ammunition and explosives!"

Upon hearing this, the police officers felt their scalps tingling and hurriedly looked for fire-fighting equipment on the spot to put out the fire in the material carriage.

If it catches fire there, not only the station will be affected, but no one within the surrounding five kilometers will be able to escape!

"Director Qi!"

A shout was heard from the crack in the collapsed office wall, and Fang Yu's secretary was seen lying in the rubble with glass shards on his face, breathing very weakly.

"Save Mr. Fang! Hurry up and bring people to save Mr. Fang! He's buried in the rubble!"

"What!!"

Director Qi, who was already in a panic, looked at the ruins overturned by the explosion, and his calves began to cramp uncontrollably.

"Someone, hurry up and find Mr. Fang! Damn it, don't let me catch the murderer, or I'll skin him alive!"

As he spoke, Director Qi and other police officers rushed into the devastated and dusty ruins. He had only one thought in his mind: he must find Fang Yu as soon as possible!

If Fang Yu met with an accident, not only would he, the police chief, lose his job, but all the security personnel involved in the operation would also be implicated and suffer the consequences.

You know, Fang Yu is the highest-ranking official in the three provinces of East Shandong, the real top official in government affairs.

On weekdays, Zhang Ye does not interfere in provincial affairs, and all departments are coordinated and managed by him.

Now, Fang Yu has been severely injured and his life or death is uncertain. This is a huge loss for the entire independent army.

……

On the Yudu front, less than ten minutes later, the news of the explosion at Qizhou Station spread like wildfire to everyone's ears.

When hearing the tragic news that Fang Yu was seriously injured in the explosion and was in critical condition, even Zhang Ye, who was calm and experienced and had experienced many ups and downs, couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and a trace of panic that was hard to conceal appeared on his face.

These days, he has been busy with the fighting on the front line, studying the enemy's tactics and defensive formations day and night, so much so that he has neglected the management and security work in the rear.

Who would have thought that the coalition forces were so good at seizing opportunities. They chose to attack the station and cause an explosion at this critical moment, which not only caused huge damage and casualties in the local area, but also almost took away Zhang Ye's capable right-hand men.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Ye, who was furious, couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"These bastards are so despicable! They deserve to be cut into pieces!"

"Marshal, Fang Yu has suffered heavy losses, and the rear is already leaderless. Why don't you go back and take charge of the work?"

Chang Rui stepped forward, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to let Zhang Ye return to the rear to avoid an unexpected attack on the front line.

Now the two sides have entered into a state of hostility to the death, and all kinds of dirty tricks are used. If you are not careful, you may fall into the enemy's trap. You really have to be on guard.

"No, I can't solve the fundamental problem if I go back now."

Zhang Ye calmed down and rejected his proposal. He turned to look at Lu Shan beside him and gave instructions.

"From now on, all material support work will be taken over by the Qizhou Guard Division, including transportation, loading, escorting, and many other matters!"

"Also, the 400-kilometer railway line from Qizhou to Shangdu Station must be strictly guarded and no accidents can occur!"

"Yes, Marshal, I promise to complete the mission!"

Lu Shan realized the seriousness of the problem and took on the task with an extremely serious expression.

There are still about 50,000 people left in the Qizhou Guard Division, which is more than enough to do this logistical work. They do not need any coordination or help from any department, they can do it themselves.

In this way, personnel management will be convenient, there will definitely not be a mixed situation, and the possibility of outsiders sneaking in will be fundamentally eliminated.

Another thing is that the military management system is relatively complete. Everyone obeys orders and does what they are told to do, and there will never be any disputes.

"Marshal, this kind of thing is hard to prevent. Even if they don't bomb the station, they can bomb the railway later. I've calculated that even if the entire guard division is deployed, it will be difficult to completely eliminate the enemy's tricks on such a long transportation line."

Chang Rui looked at the transport line that was more than 400 kilometers long and reminded with a headache.

"We still have to make plans early."

"Let's think about this together."

A smile appeared on Zhang Ye's stern face, and he pointed to the ground under his feet and said in a deep voice.

"From now on, the transportation line between the three provinces of East Shandong will only be used for food, drink, defecation and urination."

"All problems with the supply of bullets and artillery shells will be solved right under my nose. I'm going to build a new arsenal here!"

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Chang Rui was speechless for a moment, scratching his head and asked in confusion.

"Marshal, we don't have a copper mine, a gunpowder factory, or a smelting plant here. Building all of this would take too long and cost too much time. We simply don't have enough time."

"Can you please use your brain? It's definitely too late to start from scratch. You can't think of a way around it!"

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.

"The Central Plains battlefield has been fought for so long, and the piles of empty shell casings alone are as high as a mountain. These things can still be used."

"I'm planning to set up a large-scale repair shop to reshape these shells for reloading. It would save time rather than just making new ones!"

"That's an idea. It can indeed solve the current urgent problem in a short period of time."

Chang Rui thought about it and felt that it was indeed a solution.

This can at least save some transportation time and ensure that we will not be attacked by the enemy.

"Get out of here! Stop getting in the way! I need to hurry up and research this and build all these facilities within three days!"

Zhang Ye, who was anxious, waved his hand to disperse the soldiers surrounding the cabin.

He now has limited public support. He has to build a construction workshop and obtain a large amount of gunpowder. For a while, he is really stretched to the limit and unable to make ends meet.
