Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Chapter 356 The final confession



Chapter 356 The final confession

When Zhang Hanqing said these words to Ye Yunfei, he actually felt very complicated.

He didn't want to lose the Northeast, but he knew he couldn't keep it.

The Northeast can only be given to Ye Yunfei.

It is better to give the Northeast to Ye Yunfei than to the Japanese.

As long as the Northeast is in Ye Yunfei's hands, he can at least come back and take a look in the future.

But if the Northeast fell into the hands of the Japanese, let alone coming back to take a look, even if he set foot in the Northeast, his life might be in danger.

So, for now, this is the best solution.

After listening to Zhang Hanqing's words, Ye Yunfei understood his thoughts.

He said: "Han Qing, although the Northeast is now occupied by me, we are allies. If you want to go back to the Northeast, you can come back anytime."

"Even if you want to live here for a while, there is no problem."

"Just treat this place as your own home."

Zhang Hanqing forced a smile and said, "Okay, I understand, Brother Ye, there are some more important things in the Northeast, as well as some strategic locations. I will tell you everything."

"This way, it will be easier for you to control it."

Ye Yunfei said: "Okay, go ahead."

Afterwards, Zhang Hanqing told Ye Yunfei all about some of the more important places and strategic locations in the Northeast.

Since he has already decided to give up the Northeast, there is nothing to hide anymore.

Everything that needs to be said has been said.

He told Ye Yunfei all the information about the situation in the Northeast without leaving out a single detail.

The two talked for the entire afternoon.

After listening to Zhang Hanqing's talk this afternoon, Ye Yunfei also had a deep understanding of all the situations in the Northeast.

It can be said that everything Zhang Hanqing told him was very important.

If Zhang Hanqing had not told him these things, even if he had reached the Northeast, it would have been difficult to control it.

Some places are totally unfamiliar.

But now it’s different. Zhang Hanqing told him almost everything about the situation in Northeast China.

He knows everything about the Northeast, and it will be easier to manage it.

"Thank you very much."

After finishing speaking, Ye Yunfei said to Zhang Hanqing: "I am very happy and relieved that you can tell me this."

"Don't worry, I will do my best to protect the Northeast and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Japanese."

Zhang Hanqing nodded and said, "I believe you."

"There is one more very important thing I want to give you."

As he spoke, Zhang Hanqing took out a huge map from the back of his office, placed it on the table and said, "This is a strategic map of the entire Northeast. It shows every place, every strategic location, and every railway in the Northeast."

"With this map, you can control the entire Northeast at a macro level, and easily observe any corner of the Northeast."

"You can keep this map too."

Not bad.

Looking at the map on the table, Ye Yunfei was also amazed.

This map is very clearly drawn, with smooth lines and clear markings. It is indeed a good thing.

After looking at it for a few seconds, Ye Yunfei put the map away.

"And the most important thing."

At this time, Zhang Hanqing stared at Ye Yunfei with a serious expression.

"what's up."

Ye Yunfei said.

Zhang Hanqing said: "Brother Ye, do you know what the most important thing in the Northeast is?"

The most important thing.

Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "It's the land. The land in the Northeast is the most important."

Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said, "No, it's not the land, it's the railway."

"The most important thing about the three northeastern provinces is the railway that runs through the entire northeast. Only by controlling all the railways in the northeast can your army go anywhere."

"Railways are the lifeblood of the Northeast. If we can't control the railways, the lifeblood of the Northeast will be gone."

"Although the Northeast was previously controlled by our Northeast Army, for various reasons, the control of the Northeast Railway was in the hands of foreigners."

"So, I was restricted everywhere in the Northeast. Without the railway, it was like losing my legs. I couldn't do anything."

"Now that your Longmen controls the Northeast, you must take good care of the railways."

Zhang Hanqing spoke these words extremely seriously, even more seriously than anything he had said before.

After hearing what Zhang Hanqing said, Ye Yunfei knew that the railway was very important to the Northeast.

In fact, during the Republic of China period, railways were important to every place.

When he was controlling the south and north of the Yangtze River, as well as the southeast, he asked people to control the railways first.

Railways are the guarantee of movement. With railways, everything else will be much more convenient.

He knew the importance of railways and had always done so.

However, for the Northeast, the importance of railways may be more important than that of the south and north of the Yangtze River and the southeast.

Ye Yunfei said: "I understand. I will follow your instructions and control the Northeast Railway to prevent it from falling into the hands of foreigners."

Zhang Hanqing nodded and said, "That's enough. I have nothing else to say."

"Brother Ye, I will continue to stay in the Northeast for three days. During these three days, if you have any questions or anything, you can come to me at any time and I will answer them for you."

"In three days, I will leave Northeast China. By then, I will no longer have any relationship with Northeast China."

Ye Yunfei said: "Okay, I got it. I will come to you if there is anything within three days."

"By the way, Hanqing, if you withdraw from the Northeast, where are you going to go?"

"You have an army of 300,000 or 400,000 people, and countless equipment. I'm afraid there are few places that can accommodate so many people."

Ye Yunfei was also a little curious about where Zhang Hanqing would go.

If it was just Zhang Hanqing alone, then of course he could go wherever he wanted.

Be free and don't have to worry about anything.

But it’s different now. Zhang Hanqing still has an army of 300,000 or 400,000 soldiers behind him.

This is a very large army. It is not easy to maintain such an army anywhere in the Republic of China.

Moreover, it is impossible for other warlords to allow so many of you to enter their territory.

Zhang Hanqing smiled and said, "Brother Ye, you don't have to worry about this. Before, Feng Yuxiang and I went to war and occupied the entire Beiping City."

"Now Beiping City is also my territory. After leaving the Northeast, I will lead my troops into Beiping City."

"Beiping is the largest city in the northern part of the Republic of China. It will be no problem to feed my 300,000-man army."

It turned out to be the case.

After listening to Zhang Hanqing, Ye Yunfei nodded.

He knew before that Zhang Hanqing was fighting with Feng Yuxiang, and the two sides fought fiercely for the control of Peking.

But he didn't ask about the final result.

Now it seems that Zhang Hanqing won the battle and captured Beiping...
