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

Ten minutes later, after a series of extremely complicated and lengthy etiquette handover procedures, Zhang Ye finally appeared.

He was wearing a black suit with exquisite tailoring and smooth lines. Every detail perfectly showed his tall and slender figure and elegant temperament.

There was a faint smile on that young and handsome face, which was as warm as the spring sun.

He walked down the escalator slowly and steadily, as if the whole world had become quiet because of his arrival.

At this moment, the already lively welcome ceremony suddenly reached its climax!

People cheered and applauded. Standing at the front of the crowd, Jin Zaishan stared intently at Zhang Ye as he approached.

When he saw Zhang Ye's true face, he couldn't help but be surprised. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He sighed sincerely: "He is so young! Look at this, he seems even younger than you."

Hearing his father's words, Jin Junli smiled slightly and explained softly, "Dad, you don't know that Marshal Zhang is not even 26 years old this year, so he is naturally younger than me."

After saying that, he shook his head slightly, recalling the scene when he first met Zhang Ye. Wasn't he just like his father now, deeply shocked by Zhang Ye's slightly immature yet energetic and confident image?

Not long after, Zhang Ye walked down the boat steadily.

He was seen with an upright figure and steady steps, followed closely by Lu Shan and Qin Fan, one on his left and one on his right, protecting him like guardians.

Behind them followed a group of civil servants from the diplomatic department. All of them were well-mannered and dignified. In addition, there were several translators who followed the team closely.

At this moment, Jin Zaishan and others were already waiting here.

They were all extremely humble, especially Jin Zaishan. Although he was old, he seemed to be full of youthful vitality at this moment. His originally slightly hunched body became straight and strong in an instant.

He quickly rushed over to Zhang Ye, a warm smile plastered on his face. He shook Zhang Ye's hands tightly and said, "Welcome to Silla, Marshal! On behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the resistance army, I sincerely thank you for your long-term support and deep love!"

After hearing these words, Zhang Ye's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile as warm and gentle as the spring breeze.

However, just as he was thinking about how to respond, Lu Shan quietly moved closer to him and reminded him in a low voice, "This is Jin Junli's father, the only remaining prince of the Silla royal family, and the leader of the resistance army, Jin Zaishan!"

After receiving this important hint, Zhang Ye immediately felt relieved.

He gently patted the back of Jin Zaishan's wrinkled hand, then replied calmly and calmly, "Senior, you're so polite! We're just working together, each taking what we need. There's really no need to talk about favoritism or support!"

"General, you can't say that!" At this moment, Jin Junli bent down slightly, leaning forward slightly, his face full of respect, and said in an extremely humble tone, "If it weren't for your unwavering help and support, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to get out of that remote and desolate valley, let alone achieve the scale and situation we have today."

Jin Junli paused briefly before adding, "Before coming to greet you today, His Majesty sent a special messenger with a secret letter, repeatedly instructing us to treat you with the utmost respect and hospitality."

Then, Jin Junli raised his head, looked at Zhang Ye with a sincere and firm gaze, and said solemnly, "His Majesty considers you a great benefactor to the people of Silla! If it were not for your unwavering and full support, our Silla would never have achieved the prosperity it has today."

Hearing this, Zhang Ye couldn't help but point his finger at Jin Junli's serious face and laughed heartily. His laughter was hearty and loud, echoing in the air around him.

At the same time, through Jin Junli's words and the attitude he showed, Zhang Ye's original views on the Silla royal family also underwent some subtle changes.

Although there are all kinds of rumors and gossip about the Silla royal family in the outside world, as far as the current actual situation is concerned, these people do know some truth and understand the principle of gratitude.

Although they may occasionally do some inconspicuous little things, they are generally within the controllable and tolerable range.

“Marshal, this is your first visit to our Silla! Such a rare moment, why don’t we take a photo together as a souvenir.”

Just as everyone was greeting each other, Jin Junli came over quickly with a professional photographer, smiling, and enthusiastically suggested that Zhang Ye take a photo together.

Faced with this request, Zhang Ye thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

He knew that taking group photos had almost become a routine and necessary procedure when visiting abroad or participating in important meetings.

Doing so will not only fully demonstrate the friendly and close cooperative relationship between the two sides, but also provide the media of both sides with an excellent opportunity for publicity and reporting, which can further highlight the positive results achieved in this exchange activity.

You know, Zhang Ye’s visit abroad this time is not just to represent the Independence Army, but also to shoulder the important task of showcasing the image and strength of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, every detail needs to be handled with extreme caution to ensure that the entire trip is smooth and successful.

"Marshal, please come this way. You can stand in the middle." After the military and political representatives of both sides quickly lined up in the established order, Jin Zaishan behaved extremely humbly and politely, and insisted on giving the central position that should have belonged to him to Zhang Ye.

In his eyes, this moment was undoubtedly a great opportunity to express his loyalty to Zhang Ye.

As long as we can successfully win Zhang Ye's favor through this opportunity, then we may be able to obtain more favorable price terms when conducting arms procurement transactions with Daxia in the future.

After all, Silla is currently in a period of economic hardship and the national finances are very tight.

If Silla could save even a few percentage points in weapons procurement, it would be a considerable fortune.
