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

Ten minutes later, Jin Yunpeng finished narrating the whole cause and effect of the incident, and the three people in the room fell silent.

Duan Tianlin, who was already furious, was so angry that he felt like his head was about to explode when he heard that Sakura Country was planning to change its cooperation partner and only invest in Zhang Ye in the future.

Why is this bastard everywhere?

They hadn't had time to settle accounts with Zhang Ye for seizing Donglu's territory, but they didn't expect that this guy would come and seize their financial backer!

This is too fucking bullying!

You can't always grab a sheep and fleece it to death when you want to fleece it!

"Boss, now that things have come to this, let's not push it any further. Why don't we find someone to mediate and see if we can end this farce through negotiation?"

Xu Zhenlin adjusted his condition quickly, although it was really infuriating that the Japanese people cut off their retreat at this critical moment.

But now that the problem has arisen, it’s useless to get angry. You still have to find a way to solve it.

"Negotiation? Who would be willing to wade into muddy waters at this time?"

When Duan Tianlin heard this, a disdainful smile appeared on his face, but countless thoughts surged in his mind.

He never thought that he would face such a situation.

Looking back, Duan Xizong led five provinces and had an army of nearly 400,000 under his command. He was extremely powerful and feared the world.

However, now he has fallen into such an embarrassing situation.

Not to mention others, he even looks down on himself!

"How about this, let Old Xu come forward and give it a try. After all, they are both old men from the Beiyang period. Maybe he can gain some face over there."

Xu Zhenlin said with melancholy that he had no idea about this matter.

Nowadays, on the surface, Lao Xu is the incumbent president, which sounds pretty glorious.

In fact, he is also feeling extremely uncomfortable now. There are many factions in the country, and various forces occupy important provinces and declare themselves kings.

To put it nicely, he is the president, but if it comes to a real argument, who will listen to him?

Not to mention others, even the Duan and Feng factions only gave superficial support.

Why does Old Xu have to take the position? Isn't it because of his high status and seniority, and he is an elder in the Beiyang regime? Although he hasn't been doing well in recent years, people in this circle will still give him some face when they see him.

Another thing is that during the election, the Feng and Duan factions were deadlocked for a long time, and no one was willing to give in. In order to prevent a war because of this matter, they had to settle for the second best and chose Lao Xu, a hollow shell, to be elected, thinking that he was easy to control and could be manipulated at will.

Who would have thought that just a few months later, the situation suddenly changed and Old Xu, who was nicknamed a puppet by everyone, actually became the key figure in this battle.

I'm afraid even he himself could not have imagined this result.

"Alright, let's contact Old Xu and see if he's willing to come forward. As long as we can negotiate this time, I'll agree to whatever they ask for!"

Duan Tianlin agreed to the proposal without much thought.

Now he no longer has the desire to continue fighting. Without that heroic spirit, even with weapons support, it would be difficult to resist the coalition forces of the two sides.

Rather than losing everything in the end, it is better to cut your losses now and leave early.

At least in this way, we can retain some strength, and there may be hope of making a comeback someday.

……

On the other side, while Duan Tianlin was studying countermeasures, Lao Zhang and Cao Xin were also busy.

More than a year later, the two met again.

This time, Cao Xin replaced Old Feng and officially became the head of the Feng faction, and the status between the two was equalized at this moment.

"I say, Marshal Cao, this war has been going on for so long, and you're the boss. You have the final say. What should we do next?"

At the mahjong table, Old Zhang was shuffling the cards vigorously with his eyes narrowed. It looked like he could win at any time.

"Marshal Zhang, what you said is a bit ridiculous, brother. What boss or no boss? Let's work together and discuss any ideas."

Cao Xin no longer had the dejection he had felt when facing Zhang Ye some time ago. Instead, his face was beaming with joy. He tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and laughed happily.

"Old Duan is already a bit angry now. If they continue to fight, they will definitely lose!"

"And I heard that Sakura Country has severed its cooperation with them and turned to Zhang Ye in Donglu. Without the support of those dwarfs, what can they use to fight us?"

"Huh? Is that true?"

Old Zhang, who was still studying how to play his cards in the last second, frowned and became excited again after hearing his words.

The Sakura Country actually ended its cooperation with Lao Duan for Zhang Ye. This is no small matter.

You know, those bastards are very cunning. Zhang Ye is only twenty years old and has no experience. If he is not careful, he will easily fall into their trap.

It seems that we should hurry up and find someone to go and talk to Zhang Ye.

When a civil war breaks out among one's own people, no one will kill each other. But if the Sakura Country gets involved, the outcome will be hard to predict.

Over the years, although their shadows have been behind Old Duan, those old guys from the Beiyang period have all been very cunning. They have spent a lot of money on other people, but have not done much of anything useful. They are always on guard against the other party and will not make any big moves.

Zhang Ye is different. He is young and has not experienced the dark world of intrigue and scheming. Moreover, those dwarfs are good at talking and can praise the boy to the sky with just a few words. If they get carried away and promise him huge profits, it will be really bad.

From this point, we can see that Old Zhang is a pretty good person. Although he has little education, is greedy for money and lustful, deep down, he is still a qualified Da Xia person.

At least over the years, he has not really sold out the interests of the people of Fengbei for money.

In this regard, he has already won over many people. After all, these days, there are not many people who can truly stick to their principles!
