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

As the night deepened, covering the earth like ink, a convoy of cars trudged along the winding, rugged mountain road.

They are like a string of glowing pearls, shining faintly in the darkness.

Zhang Ye, who had already withdrawn from the territory of Zhili Province, sat in the car and looked back through the window.

On the distant skyline, artillery fire rang out. The sound of artillery and the light of fire intertwined, like a grand fireworks display. He couldn't help but laugh: "When these guys heard about the need to seize territory, they pounced like hungry wolves. Their speed was astonishing. I almost got trapped and couldn't get out."

Lu Shan sat next to Zhang Ye and laughed, "Yes, Commander-in-Chief, we have now safely entered the territory of Donglu. In the days to come, we can fly freely."

As he spoke, he handed Zhang Ye a copy of the latest telegram and reported, "Chang Rui just received good news. They have successfully broken through the border defense line of Donglu. From now on, we just need to strengthen our defense and hold on to this land."

However, Zhang Ye shook his head, expressing dissatisfaction: "No, this is far from enough. We can't just be satisfied with defending our existing territory. We must actively attack and continue to expand our sphere of influence."

As he spoke, he unfolded the map, looked around for a moment in the dim light of the car, and made a crazy decision.

"Since we want to play, let's play big. Head towards Qizhou immediately. We will launch a night raid on Huishan tonight."

"Huishan? Commander-in-Chief, this is a bit risky."

Lu Shan didn't expect that he would change his action plan again in such a short time.

If occupying the Donglu Province was still within their plan, then the decision to attack Huishan at night was a bit hasty.

You know, the Duan faction has deployed 40,000 to 50,000 troops on the Huishan border defense line. If the two sides go to war at this time, it may cause a chain reaction, and the Feng-Duan battle will immediately turn into a three-way melee.

This result is not a good thing for them now no matter how you look at it.

"Since you're going to swallow it, then eat it to your heart's content."

Zhang Ye had his own plans in mind. Although it was safer to occupy only the Donglu Province, if he missed this great opportunity today, people from other factions would know that he was a traitor in the future, and it would not be so easy to launch an attack on other provinces at that time.

Therefore, he decided not to sit still and wait for death, but to seize this rare opportunity.

Anyway, he can't get rid of the label of traitor, so he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and occupy as much territory as possible.

After all, they now have the ability to launch large-scale battles, swallow up as much Duanxi territory as possible, and start a new round of system drawings as soon as possible.

In future wars, they who are guarding the Donglu port cannot be without a warship of their own.

"Since we are going to fight, then we must completely eliminate the hidden dangers around us."

Lu Shan was also a man of great courage. After hearing Zhang Ye's idea, he pointed at the map and reminded him.

"We can drive a single sheep, and we can release a flock of sheep. Huishan and Wuyue should act together. As long as we hold on to these three provinces, even if we win, we can withstand any future risks!"

"Hahaha! Shanzi, you're the best! Great minds think alike! I think so too!"

Zhang Ye laughed out loud upon hearing this and was quite satisfied with his proposal.

Although he now has a system that allows him to summon hundreds of thousands of soldiers at any time, if he really fights a large-scale battle, his strength is still inferior to those old warlords.

If you want to survive in this chaotic world, cutting-edge technology is the key to victory or defeat.

That's why he took the risk and made such a crazy decision to raid Huishan and Wuyue provinces, just to build an SS-level arsenal in the shortest time possible.

……

In the capital, Duan’s headquarters.

A group of bigwigs stayed up all night, all waiting in the conference room for the latest battle report.

At that time, the closed room was filled with smoke, and a group of old smokers were busy all night, smoking one cigarette after another.

"Report, the 13th Division of the Western Route Army has engaged the enemy's 7th Division. The fighting is currently fierce. Judging from the positions of our positions, Fushui County is still in our hands."

"Report, the Northern Army has directly entered Canglan City, and Feng's troops are frantically sending reinforcements. Currently, both sides are stuck at the Canglan border defense line and are engaging in artillery fire. Both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and the situation is extremely stalemate!"

The Secretary-General's telegrams came one after another, making the already depressing meeting room even more suffocating.

Huang Weize stood in front of the windowsill. After listening to all the information, he put out the cigarette in his hand, turned around and asked.

"How's the situation in Fushui County? Has Zhang Ye's group received any new news?"

"Report, there is no new information at the moment. We have tried to establish contact with them, but have received no response."

The Secretary General lowered his head and added hesitantly.

"I suspect the radio signal was damaged during the battle, resulting in delayed message delivery."

"Damn it, with three divisions fighting around him, can he handle it with that little force?"

At this moment, Huang Weize was still worried about his good disciple. He would never have thought that this war was started by that traitor.

Now, with tens of thousands of people fighting on both sides and their heads almost beaten into pieces, he had already escaped and even took advantage of this gap to steal back home.

This is indeed a bit unkind.

"Old Huang, Zhang Ye is a smart guy. He has at least three combat regiments around him. He should have no problem defending the county. There's no need to worry at all."

Xu Zhenlin gave him a reassurance, then turned to everyone in the room and began the next round of discussion.

"Right now, our war with the Feng Clan is irreversible. Now that we've started, we must determine the winner."

"If it's just the two of us, then there's nothing much to discuss. Soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals, just fight to the death."

"What I'm most worried about now is the Fengbei Army. If they want to get involved, it will be really bad."

"We must be on guard..."

Upon hearing this, Duan Tianlin's bloodshot eyes were filled with a hint of worry, and he sighed softly.

"The horse bandit named Zhang has been eyeing the capital for a long time. Over the past few years, the tide has turned. All of us have tried to get close to the throne, but he has remained hidden in Fengbei and has not moved."

"If anyone says he doesn't covet this throne, I'll be the first to disbelieve it."

"Now that we are at war with the Feng Clan, it's the best opportunity for those people in Fengbei to break out."

"That's right, Mr. Duan. The horse bandit named Zhang may seem well-behaved, but in fact, he's more cunning than anyone else. He's the most sinister villain."

Xu Zhenlin agreed with this very much and suggested after thinking about it for a while.

"I think it's better to be on guard. If this old man attacks us from behind, we won't be able to take care of both ends."
