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

"Two cakes!"

At the poker table, after being able to see the opponent's specific situation, Zhang Ye was obviously much more relaxed and had more smiles on his face.

"Master Zhang, your industry in Fengbei is developing quite well. Have you considered doing some research and development in recent years?"

"How is the research and development?"

Zhang Liuzi asked casually.

"Military industry development, things like tanks, aircraft, and warships, although those things are difficult, they are not completely impossible."

Zhang Ye shuffled the cards and chatted seemingly casually.

He couldn't go into too much depth right now, so it would be the best thing if the other party could understand the deeper meaning.

If he were placed in Fengbei, with his vision and knowledge, he would definitely start large-scale R&D and production work without hesitation.

After all, the Fengbei region is vast and has rich mineral resources. It is fully capable of achieving self-sufficiency and does not need to cooperate with the external powers.

"Brother Chao Rong, you're such a jokester! We can't even build airplanes, tanks, or warships like those things you mentioned."

Zhang Liuzi narrowed his eyes and glanced at him quietly. Although he felt a little strange in his heart, he did not show it.

"Let's not talk about anything else. We can't make that kind of steel right now. Besides, just having the materials is useless. We still need the guidance of professionals."

"Take your time. You can't get fat in one bite."

Zhang Ye took this opportunity to continue.

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Your Fengbei territory is vast and rich in mineral resources. It's a treasure land. You must make good use of it."

"Haha, from what you said, it seems that you have a strong yearning for Fengbei."

The more Zhang Liuzi listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Although he still kept smiling, his tone became much colder.

"How about coming back with us in a couple of days and having some fun?"

"If it doesn't work, I have a solution. You can just join my Fengbei Army. Other brothers can't guarantee it, but as long as you come, we can immediately resist the stars!"

"We were just playing cards, chatting about work, how did it get to the point again?" Zhang Ye laughed and stopped talking. Instead, he focused his attention on the cards in front of him. "My hand is quite big, you guys better pay attention."

"What a coincidence! I'm not small either!"

Feng Laowu happily responded, threw out a card casually, and was about to show off to everyone when he saw Zhang Ye holding a mahjong tile and smiling.

"Okay, today I finally made my money back!"

As he spoke, the guy pushed the cards in front of him, causing everyone to stick their heads out to check.

"All the same, one dragon! Hurry up, give me the money!!"

At this moment, Xu Linlin, who was sitting next to him and about to fall asleep, immediately became energetic. Her fair and tender face was full of joyful smiles, and she happily stretched out her little hands to urge him.

"Hurry up and pay us, we won, don't refuse to pay!!!"

……

At two o'clock in the morning, the card game ended and everyone was exhausted. They yawned with their mouths open.

At this moment, the situation on the table has been completely reversed. There is a large amount of money piled in front of Zhang Ye. Not only did he win back all the money he had lost before, but he also won almost all the money of the other three parties.

"Are you still playing?"

Feng Laowu, who had lost the whole night, could hardly open his eyes and asked in a daze as he sat on the chair.

He has now entered a numb state. Winning or losing doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to play, I will play with you.

"Stop playing, go upstairs and sleep."

Zhang Liuzi waved his hands repeatedly, his eyes were red and he couldn't stop yawning.

Tonight he finally got to see what it meant to be the "chosen one."

In the first half of the night, I was winning a lot here, but I ended up counting money for others. In the second half of the night, the situation suddenly changed and everyone went to Zhang Ye's side.

He lost so much that he almost couldn't even wear his pants.

"Okay, that's it, let's go."

Zhang Ye rubbed his eyes, stood up and waved to the door.

"Shanzi, deposit this money into the accounts of the gentlemen. That's it."

"Hey, hey, hey, that won't do!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liuzi quickly stood up and stopped him.

"Brother Chao Rong, we can afford to lose. Don't slap me in the face just for this little money."

"That's right, playing cards means winning and losing. Don't worry about such a small matter. Whoever wins takes it. It's not like you're going to lose everything on this. You can play it another day."

Feng Laowu also advised with an indifferent look on his face.

For these young masters, this little money is really not a big deal at the moment. What they want when they go out to have fun is just face.

"Well, since you say so, I'll take it."

Zhang Ye was just being polite. Since they didn't want it, he just kept it.

Don’t miss out on free money!

"Okay, that's it for today. If you want to play again tomorrow, have Lao Wu call me."

Zhang Ye glanced at the time, then patted Xu Linlin who was napping in the corner and asked.

"Miss, are you going home?"

"Hmm!" Xu Linlin, who was half asleep, opened her eyes and nodded bewilderedly: "Go back, of course I can go back, take me back..."

"I really fucking owe you!"

Zhang Ye cursed softly, then waved goodbye to everyone.

"Brothers, see you next time. I'll take the young lady home first."

"Alright, Brother Chao Rong, we'll continue tomorrow night. Just go slow!"

Feng Laowu said with a very haggard look.

With their departure, the people in the box finally relaxed.

Zhang Liuzi collapsed directly into the chair, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked.

"Old Five, was that bastard just now cheating? How come the cards changed so quickly? He won money as soon as he said he would?"

"I felt the same way when you won earlier in the night."

Feng Laowu grinned.

"These days, talented people are everywhere. Don't think you're the one and only chosen one. Zhang Ye is no ordinary person either."

"He's already a colonel in his early twenties. You should understand the significance of this better than I do."

"Depending on my wife..." Zhang Liuzi said with a hint of sarcasm, and chuckled, "But this is also a skill. After all, not everyone can eat soft rice."

"And what did this kid mean just now? He kept talking nonsense and pointing fingers, acting like a senior who could give guidance on Fengbei's development."

"You're such a sensitive person. Every time someone farts, you have to open their mouth and smell it carefully."

Feng Laowu knew his childhood friend very well, and immediately teased him with a smile.

"Besides, if you think about it from another angle, what they said is not wrong. Fengbei is rich in mineral resources and has a certain industrial foundation. If they really engage in military industry, they might be able to succeed."

"Whether it works or not is none of our business. That's something the old man needs to consider."

Zhang Liuzi got up lazily, not caring about those trivial matters at all. He hugged his wife and smiled.

"Come on, go upstairs and go to bed!"
