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

On September 10th, at 10 o'clock in the evening, on the Central Plains battlefield, a tense and depressing atmosphere permeated the Moshan position controlled by the Feng faction.

Wu Zhongwen's face, which was already a little haggard, now looked even paler and exhausted. His bloodshot eyes stared at his side's defense line which was constantly retreating and losing ground. The worry in his heart surged like a tide, making him feel even more heavy and depressed.

Once, when he set foot on this land with full confidence, he firmly believed that with his outstanding military talents and rich combat experience, he would be able to turn the tide and completely reverse the precarious situation on the Central Plains battlefield.

However, the cruel reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

After more than half a month of fierce fighting, his efforts not only failed to bring any substantial changes, but instead caused his side to lose a large amount of valuable positions.

During this long and arduous confrontation, Wu Zhongwen gradually gained a deeper understanding and analysis of his opponent.

As time went by, he finally realized how terrifying the Independence Army was.

This team led by young people not only has astonishingly strong combat effectiveness, but also has unprecedented highly unified execution capabilities.

Every action is like a precision-operated machine, accurate, efficient and fast.

Wu Zhongwen racked his brains but couldn't figure out what methods Zhang Ye used to "brainwash" these soldiers.

But it can be clearly seen from a series of events that these soldiers simply worship Zhang Ye. Their worship is almost crazy and has even reached an extremely fanatical level.

No matter how difficult the task or the life-or-death moment, as long as Zhang Ye gives the order, everyone will move forward without hesitation and never retreat. This level of loyalty and obedience is truly astonishing.

In response to this difficult problem, Wu Zhongwen tried every possible way.

He first tried to tempt the captured independence army soldiers with high positions and generous salaries, imagining that these people would surrender and tell the truth because of their desire for power and wealth.

However, what he never expected was that in the face of such tempting conditions, these soldiers were not moved at all, and did not even look at them.

When one plan failed, he came up with another one. Wu Zhongwen then used the "beauty trap".

He carefully selected a group of women with outstanding looks and charm and sent them to the prisoner-of-war camp, trying to break the hearts of these soldiers through their beauty.

But the result still disappointed him. Those independent army soldiers seemed to have developed indestructible bodies. They ignored these beauties and were completely unmoved.

Seeing that the first two moves were ineffective, the exasperated Wu Zhongwen decided to resort to more extreme means, such as torture and severe punishment!

But who could have expected that even though they were beaten to a pulp and tortured to a point worse than death, these soldiers still gritted their teeth and refused to say a word.

Failure again and again was like a loud slap in the face to Wu Zhongwen, leaving him dizzy and at a loss.

No matter what threats or inducements he used, he was unable to pry open the tightly closed mouths of the captured independence army soldiers.

Failure after failure made him doubt himself, and he even thought that it was his own stupidity and incompetence that led to the coalition's continuous failures and became a laughing stock of the world.

dong dong dong...

The heavy and rhythmic sound of military boots exploded on the ground like thunder, and every step seemed to step on people's hearts.

Zhang Kui, commander-in-chief of the National Army, was dressed in a neat military uniform, standing as straight as a pine tree, and walking in front with quick and powerful steps.

He was followed closely by several staff officers with serious expressions, holding documents and maps.

The group rushed to Feng's command headquarters at lightning speed.

Before even entering the door, the tense and oppressive atmosphere hit me.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Zhang Kui's eyes swept across everyone in the room like lightning, and finally fixed on Wu Zhongwen who was standing there in a daze.

Wu Zhongwen's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were lifeless, and he stood there blankly, as if he had lost his soul.

Zhang Kui was already in an extremely bad mood, and the anger in his heart suddenly erupted like a volcano.

He took two sudden steps forward and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Wu Zhongwen. With a loud bang, Zhang Kui's palm slammed down on the table, causing the teacup and documents on it to jump.

"General Wu!" Zhang Kui's eyes widened in anger, his voice roaring like thunder. "Since the beginning of this battle, our national army has been working tirelessly to cooperate with you!"

"Over the past half month, have you ever been prioritized in various material support and troop deployment plans?"

"But what's the result? We're losing ground, losing positions again and again, and are on the verge of retreating into Qianhu Province! How exactly did you command the troops? You must give me a clear explanation today!"

At this time, Zhang Kui's face was full of anger, and his chest was heaving violently, like a volcano about to erupt.

He put his hands on his hips and turned around twice quickly on the spot, his eyes wide open staring straight ahead, as if he wanted to penetrate the other person with his gaze.

However, after a long while, there was still no response from the other party.

Zhang Kui could no longer suppress his anger and kicked the stool in front of him. With a crisp "crack", the stool was kicked to the ground and wood chips flew everywhere.

Then, he suddenly raised his voice, and it resounded like thunder in the air: "Can we fight or not? Just tell me the truth! If not, then fart out as soon as possible!"

"Many of my brothers have already suffered casualties. If we keep dragging our feet like this, they'll chop off my head with knives!"

"When that happens, no one will have an easy time!"

"Boss Zhang, calm down, Boss Zhang!" Fearing a fight, Feng's staff officer hurried over with a cup of hot tea, apologizing profusely with a smile on his face. "The situation isn't looking good right now, but Boss Wu's under a lot of pressure too. Have a drink and rest for a while. We can talk it over."

"What are you talking about?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Kui didn't want to play Tai Chi with them anymore. He pointed at Wu Zhongwen's nose and cursed, "Look at him now. He's been beaten to a pulp by the Independence Army. Expecting him to continue commanding is pure nonsense!"
