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

"What!?"

The exclamation was like thunder out of nowhere.

Before the ship loaded with munitions reached the shore, the National Army far away in Guangzhou received this shocking news.

Mr. Sun, who has always been known for his steadiness and composure, lost his usual composure on his face when he heard the sad news.

The face that was originally as calm as water now looked as if it had been ravaged by a storm, and was terrifyingly gloomy.

Especially when he learned that this batch of arms was hijacked by the Independence Army, the pain in his heart was simply indescribable.

If there were no other people in the house, Mr. Sun would have been unable to contain his anger and would have started cursing.

After all, that’s not a small amount of money!

A whole shipload of arms and military supplies is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This is half of the profit they got in exchange for signing a cooperation agreement with the Eagle Sauce!

Now, as the ship full of hope was about to arrive and victory was in sight, they unexpectedly encountered the patrol fleet of the Independence Army, which snatched away the precious cargo.

At this moment, not only was Mr. Sun heartbroken, but the senior officers of the National Army were also extremely angry. They gritted their teeth and wished they could rush out to settle the score with the Second Fleet.

You know, they had already worked out a detailed distribution plan and were eagerly waiting for the equipment to be unloaded smoothly to strengthen their respective forces.

As a result, the banquet was already set up, but you suddenly told me that the new bride was kidnapped on the way!

No one would be able to tolerate this!

"Sir! Zhang Ye is completely lawless and reckless! Not only has he forcibly occupied the southern waters, but now he's even going so far as to openly plunder our supplies! This behavior is truly arrogant and utterly disrespectful!"

Wang Wei was so angry that his face turned red, veins popped out on his forehead, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he was gasping for breath.

He put his hands on his hips and turned around quickly several times on the spot, just like a donkey pulling a mill. The anger in his heart had reached its peak, and he wanted to rush forward and fight the other party to the death.

A considerable portion of this batch of supplies has been clearly assigned to the sphere of influence under his control.

Now, the Independence Army has intervened without any scruples, not only hijacking the entire cargo ship, but also leaving no room for negotiation.

This undoubtedly cut off his retreat and put him in an extremely passive and difficult situation.

This is too much bullying, how can we tolerate it?

At this moment, Mr. Sun, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke slowly.

"Alas... now that things have come to this, what can we do? They have a powerful fleet at their disposal and can impose a blockade and control on this sea area at will. Even if we are unwilling and unconvinced, we can only endure it for now!"

After saying this, Mr. Sun sighed, curled up in his chair with a helpless look on his face, closed his eyes and said no more.

"Humph! Isn't this the so-called cycle of cause and effect? ​​Wu Zhongwen blew up Qizhou Station, and right after that, our ship carrying supplies was robbed by the Independence Army!"

Someone is fanning the flames and trying to divert trouble away.

"Sir, Wu Zhongwen recklessly caused trouble, why should we bear such serious consequences!?"

Wang Wei's anger was still burning in his heart. He widened his eyes, his face full of anger and unwillingness, and he shouted loudly and rudely.

"The Feng Clan has always only engaged in shady and low-brow activities! They are undoubtedly fully responsible for the huge losses caused this time!"

The more Wang Wei spoke, the more excited he became, his chest heaving violently, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment.

"That's absolutely right! They should be the ones shouldering this responsibility!"

As soon as Wang Wei finished speaking, the other generals in the room echoed and shouted in unison.

Everyone knows that anyone would feel extremely aggrieved and helpless to lose such a large amount of equipment for no reason.

In any case, we must try our best to find a scapegoat to make up for some of the losses.

Take the current situation for example. If Wu Zhongwen had not madly blown up the Qizhou Station, the Independence Army might not have discovered their supply ships hidden in the dark.

In the final analysis, it was the Feng faction that provoked the incident first and secretly attacked the other party's strategic rear, so it is reasonable and logical that they should bear the responsibility!

"Sir, if you don't feel comfortable handling this matter personally, then leave it to me. I'll draft and send this telegram immediately. After all, how can we let go of advanced weaponry worth hundreds of millions of dollars so easily?"

Wang Wei clenched his fists tightly, his eyes determined, and volunteered.

He has now entered a state of madness. No matter whether you are an ally of the coalition or not, his family is almost starving to death. There is no need to be so merciful. He must grab some food from the Feng faction's bowl.

After all, we don't eat from the same pot, and even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone such a huge amount.

"Alright, alright, let's discuss this later."

Mr. Sun frowned and waved his hand impatiently, signaling the people around him to stop chattering. His eyes swept over the crowd, revealing a hint of helplessness and fatigue.

"The Feng clique has been cornered by the overwhelmingly powerful Independence Army. Like a trapped beast, it can barely survive. How can there be any profit for us to exploit? Your idea is simply wishful thinking and a foolish dream!"

Mr. Sun snorted coldly and continued, "In my opinion, they are lucky to have managed to survive for a while and not be quickly defeated by the Independence Army."

However, Wang Wei was unwilling to give up. He moved step by step to Mr. Sun, with a sad face, and tried to persuade him earnestly.

"Sir, you'd better think twice! The contract we signed with the Eagle Sauce only provides for a mere 200 million in aid. A full 100 million in cash was already taken by that Jiang Xiansheng! And our Yangcheng headquarters is currently relying on the remaining 100 million in equipment to maintain the situation!"

At this point, Wang Wei became more and more excited, and his voice unconsciously rose an octave.

"But now, look what's happened. We have no money, no guns, nothing to show for it, and we've even sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers into the meat grinder of war in the Central Plains. This deal is just too suffocating!"
