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

"Come, come, come, take a seat! You've been honored to visit us, and this must be your first time at our Qizhou Office, right? Haha, I'll definitely take you out for some fun tonight!"

Zhang Ye, with a smile on his face, warmly welcomed the other party into the reception room and accompanied him personally. He was very polite and gave the young marshal enough face.

Zhang Liuzi smiled faintly and replied, "Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Chaorong. I will naturally obey your orders. Now that I'm here, I'll leave everything to you, brother. I'll just have fun."

After saying that, Zhang Liuzi also smiled, with excitement shining in his eyes.

For this trip, he asked for a full half-month long vacation from the army, and did not bring his family with him. How could he not enjoy such a rare free time?

After the two of them took their seats, Zhang Ye bowed slightly and gracefully pulled out an exquisite cigarette case from his pocket. He flicked out a cigarette and placed it between his lips. He then expertly lit the lighter, took a leisurely puff, and exhaled a cloud of smoke before beginning to chat, "I wonder how you've been lately, brother? I heard earlier that you've joined the Fengbei Army and participated in several fierce battles. It's said that your record is quite brilliant!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, he's truly worthy of being the descendant of a military family. Like father, like son!"

"Hey, my achievements are nothing compared to yours, they're nothing!"

As Zhang Liuzi spoke, he pursed his lips and a slightly shy smile appeared on his face.

When this guy thought about his situation in the army, he knew it clearly.

If it weren't for his old man's relationship, how could he have become the commander of the guard brigade?

But then again, background is sometimes a sign of strength.

After all, this is not something you can choose, no matter how much you envy it, it will be of no use.

There is no way, everything is predetermined by God, there is no way, this is my fate!

"Don't worry, brother. You're still young and have a long way to go! As long as you're willing to work hard and strive for success, you'll definitely accomplish something earth-shattering and spectacular in the future!"

His words were full of sincere encouragement, as if an experienced elder brother was imparting life wisdom and experience to his younger brother.

As for Zhang Liuzi, Zhang Ye never looks at him with tinted glasses.

In Zhang Ye's view, everyone has his or her own unique path and choices, and for every decision they make, no matter what the final result is, they should bravely bear the corresponding consequences.

As to whether these decisions are right or wrong, let future generations judge them slowly.

"Difficult! You don't understand the old man's temperament. He's just an old, stubborn bandit. He's as stubborn and hard as a rock. No one even has a chance to talk to him!"

At the mention of the future, Zhang Liuzi slumped down in his chair like a deflated ball, looking as if his spine had been pulled out. He grumbled feebly, "Tell me, his military philosophy might have been useful ten years ago, but it's been a while now! Times have changed! Yet he's still clinging to his old ways of having the final say and relying on so-called brotherhood. If things keep going this way, our Fengbei Army will be destroyed by him sooner or later!"

Zhang Ye, who had been listening to Zhang Liuzi's complaints with a smile, finally couldn't help but waved his hand and interrupted his complaints and dissatisfaction.

Zhang Ye, still smiling, said calmly and pertinently, "Ah, you can't be so absolute! I think you're looking at this issue a little too one-sidedly."

"I'm sure you're well aware of the foundation and details of the Fengbei Army. It was built by the concerted efforts of this old man and his brothers. As long as this entire framework remains as solid as a rock, the Fengbei Army will definitely not fall easily."

"Well, you're absolutely right. But shouldn't we also carefully consider some issues?" Zhang Liuzi had no intention of arguing with the other party. Instead, he began to analyze the pros and cons of the situation: "The old man and his gang of brothers will eventually meet their end."

"Once they pass away, won't the various factions instantly lose their spiritual pillar? How will the successors then lead this chaotic situation?"

"Hehehe..." Zhang Ye couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this.

What an ignorant little bastard, he actually started thinking about what to do after his father passed away so early.

"Don't laugh, I'm discussing serious matters with you." Zhang Liuzi had a stern face and looked extremely solemn. It seemed that he sincerely hoped to get some opinions and suggestions on this issue from the other party.

"In my opinion, this question is actually not very relevant to them. After all, when they are all gone, they will not have the time to worry about the future development and other nonsense!"

Zhang Ye laughed so hard that he couldn't stop and joked.

"As the successor, if you don't even have the basic ability to lead and balance the various factions, then you should step down as soon as possible and leave this important position to someone who is truly capable." Zhang Ye said seriously, his words were loud and clear, and every word was of great weight.

"In today's world, no matter what industry or profession, the principle of merit prevails! Without true talent and extraordinary abilities, don't even think about holding a high position."

Hearing his merciless words, Zhang Liuzi's face turned sour and he completely drooped. After letting out a long sigh, he muttered to himself, "Forget it, forget it. I've finally seen through you all. None of you commanders are easy to deal with. Not only are your words blunt and harsh, but you also lack any humanity."

"Look, look, I'm just offering my personal opinions, and you're not happy when I actually tell you!" Zhang Ye smiled and shook his head, then took the teapot and stepped forward to add more water. He consoled her, "Don't overthink it. The Fengbei Army has produced many famous generals, most of whom are your father's direct descendants. Even if the old man dies in the future, you'll still be able to hold on to your position."

"Let's take a step back and say, if someone really has evil intentions, just come to me. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can definitely send a telegram to the whole country to express my support for you."

"Hahaha..." Zhang Liuzi burst into laughter upon hearing this. In response to his teasing words and actions, he said, "I thought you were going to send troops to help me, but in the end you just sent a telegram. What a good brother!"
