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

"Shooting more than a hundred prisoners, Lao Huang, this student of yours is not just an ordinary bloody and arrogant person."

On the other side, Xu Zhenlin looked at the latest battle report just delivered by his subordinates, his eyebrows full of smiles. He handed the news to the two and commented.

"The county-level security regiment defeated two elite companies head-on, even capturing six of the enemy's mountain cannons and taking over a hundred prisoners. Even a legitimate main force regiment might not be able to achieve this."

"Good, very good, this Zhang Ye really gave me a huge surprise!"

"Haha, Lao Xu, I told you to trust these young people. Times are changing, and we will eventually grow old."

After Huang Weize read the entire battle report word by word, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes were almost narrowed into slits with joy.

He was sincerely satisfied with Zhang Ye's performance today.

Clean and efficient, drastic measures, leaving no future troubles!

These are all essential qualities for a successful general.

From this battle report, it can be clearly seen that Zhang Ye has gradually acquired the qualities required to accomplish great things.

Especially the final shooting of the prisoners fully demonstrated his iron-blooded tactics and decisive decision-making ability.

Such an action can not only deter the enemy, but also establish a certain prestige in the army.

After this incident, the soldiers below will definitely be in awe of Zhang Ye when they meet him in the future, and will not dare to make sarcastic remarks or disrespectful remarks about him.

"That's really good. This Zhang Ye is truly amazing."

Another general read the entire battle report carefully, a scorching light flashed in his eyes, and then he came up to Huang Weize and chuckled.

"Old Huang, I'm still short of an ace brigade commander. What do you think? Do you think Zhang Ye is suitable? Otherwise, why not transfer this guy over to me..."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop it!"

Before he could finish his words, Xu Zhenlin was the first to step forward and directly put an end to his idea.

"Zhang Ye's current position is very important. Fushui County cannot be lost. Once he is transferred, we will have no reason to continue occupying that piece of land."

"Besides, your brigade commander has no future. I've already figured out what to do with him."

"We'll talk about the future later. Shouldn't we show up now?"

Huang Weize interrupted the two people who were talking, ran to the desk, handed the phone to them, nodded at them and asked.

"Who's going to make this call?"

"Let me do it!"

Xu Zhenlin took the initiative to answer the phone, picked up the receiver and started shouting.

"Connect me to Feng's Chief of Staff, General Cao Xin!"

……

Two days later, a news story about Zhang Ye's suppression of bandits was published in the Beijing Evening News, which attracted widespread attention.

Behind this news is actually a propaganda campaign carefully planned by the Duan faction headquarters.

Through this interview, they hope to show the public a positive image of Duan officers, and at the same time try to change people's traditional views on warlords.

Moreover, the purpose of doing so is not only to set an example, but also to let the public see the strength and determination of the Duan army.

As the protagonist, Zhang Ye naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. His heroic deeds and firm beliefs left a deep impression on people.

As the news spread, more and more people began to pay attention to Zhang Ye and the Duan faction army he represented.

Some people even began to have a new understanding of the warlords, no longer seeing them as a group of greedy and brutal soldiers.

Although this change is small, it has the potential to trigger larger social changes.

After all, in that turbulent era, any change could affect the fate of the entire country.

As the newspaper was being distributed in hot sales, Zhang Ye clearly felt that the public opinion value was increasing in a straight line. After only one hour of publication, the value exceeded 100,000.

You should know that before this, the two counties of Jingshan and Fushui alone could only contribute a maximum of 100,000 to 80,000 public opinion points a day.

But just one hour after this news was posted, it had already exceeded his daily accumulation. This shows that the channels for information dissemination in this era were very limited.

If you want to create a large-scale influence in a short period of time, you can only do it through broadcasting or newspaper advertising.

After tasting the sweetness of the surge in public opinion, Zhang Ye became more concerned about opening a newspaper. He sent three telegrams home in a row, urging them to send someone to Donglu Province as soon as possible to open the first newspaper.

He is now a little impatient. This feeling of wasting time makes him feel extremely tormented, especially when he sees those powerful people in the upper class living an extravagant life and not caring about the lives of ordinary people. The sense of urgency in his heart will increase exponentially.

"Sir, it's almost time, let's go."

Lu Shan changed into a carefully tailored black suit that perfectly outlined his upright posture and broad shoulders.

There is a special fountain pen in his breast pocket, which not only adds a touch of cultural atmosphere to him, but also serves as an offensive and defensive weapon. Once encountering special situations, he can use it as a weapon to fight the enemy at any time.

"Alright, kid, your looks are almost catching up with mine."

Zhang Ye pointed at his outfit and joked.

"It's quite handsome. Go back and make a few more sets. Don't wear military uniform all the time. You're still young and you should take your image into consideration."

"No, I feel good in a military uniform."

Lu Shan looked at the suit on his body and complained with a hint of disgust.

"This thing is uncomfortable to wear. I can't stretch my arms and legs and do anything."

"You, you will never be a young master in this life!"

Zhang Ye changed into his suit and looked at the handsome figure in the mirror, feeling a little emotional.

"With this outfit, I'll definitely charm the girls in Beijing to death."

"cough……"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shan didn't dare to respond, but just kept smiling with his lips pursed.

To be honest, Zhang Ye is really handsome. He is about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure and outstanding temperament.

Although that face is still a little childish, it exudes a unique charm.

Although he is still young, his expression reveals a maturity and stability that makes people curious and expectant about him.

Overall, this guy is quite good-looking. If he dresses up a little, he will definitely be a very outstanding young man.

"Is it funny?" Zhang Ye turned around and rolled his eyes at him, muttering in dissatisfaction, "I'm serious, okay?"

"Handsome, handsome, handsome, so handsome!" Lu Shan hurried forward, put his arm around his shoulders, and urged him like he was coaxing a child, "Hurry up, sir, we're running out of time."

"Today is a cocktail party led by the CEO. If you are late, you will definitely be scolded."
