Chapter 369: Chapter 369
The sunlight streamed in, and the sun outside was already high. As Fang Ming sat up, he bumped into something.
Silver coins scattered all over the floor. Fang Ming was stunned and looked around. The room was piled with silver coins. Fang Ming bent down to pick up some and showed them to the live stream:
"Look at this! What do you see here?!"
Just as he was speaking, footsteps sounded from outside, and Zhang Zuolin’s adjutant walked in:
"Mr. Fang, you’re awake."
"These silver coins were specially arranged by Master Zhang last night so that you could see the money as soon as you woke up."
"He went to the Capital City this morning."
"So he couldn’t tell you himself and arranged for me instead."
As he spoke, the adjutant handed over a note:
"This is a bank note from the United States of America, and the money for purchasing weapons and equipment is all in here."
Fang Ming cheerfully accepted the money. Although he didn’t say anything, his smug expression was clearly taunting the haters in the live stream chat:
"No problem, no problem."
"Does my big brother have any other instructions?"
Zhang Zuolin’s adjutant spoke:
"Actually, he mainly wanted to trouble you to take another trip."
"Because to fully arm with this equipment is quite difficult. Master Zhang said that after he finishes dealing with that bastard Duan Qirui and comes back, he wants you to take full payment and go...."
Who knows how long that will take.
"That’s going to take a while."
"How about this? You look into what’s missing."
"I’ll buy everything in one go, and by the time I get back, it should be about over."
Zhang Zuolin’s adjutant looked pleased:
"That’s great, Mr. Fang."
"You’re really helping us out a lot!"
Fang Ming quickly raised his hand:
"Among family, there’s no need for formalities."
Zhang Zuolin’s adjutant smiled:
"Exactly, that’s right!"
After Zhang Zuolin’s adjutant left, Fang Ming clicked his tongue and said to the haters in the live stream:
"Look at that attitude."
"The streamer has this kind of power; can’t help it~"
His smug demeanor made many of the haters in the live stream grind their teeth.
They silently prayed that Zhang Zuolin would be defeated so that there would be no money to pay.
This wish was destined not to come true.
Because the start time of the [Custom Mode] can be freely chosen.
Fang Ming was in 1920 of the ’Republic’.
And in the [Custom Mode] plot of the streamer who chose 1921, the Zhiwan War had already been fought, and Zhang Zuolin was one of the victors.
The scene switches to the 1921 live stream of the streamer Tian Kai.
Western Xiangxi Ancient Path.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Intense gunfire echoed in the forests of the Tea Horse Road, and the roads in the distance were in chaos. The soldiers escorting the convoy under the warlord were in panic, some lying on the ground, others fleeing in all directions.
The leading officer cursed angrily and shot a few deserters, directing other soldiers to counterattack.
Tian Kai lay behind a cover, continually firing his gun, while bullets whistled past his ears.
The voice of an officer sounded below:
"First Platoon, flank from the left! Third Platoon, provide cover!"
Compared to the panicking warlord soldiers, Tian Kai’s troops, though not formal and in mismatched uniforms, were nevertheless suppressing the better-equipped warlord soldiers.
The fierce battle lasted nearly an hour.
After the escorting officer was killed, the soldiers under the warlord began to flee, leaving the trucks full of supplies for the soldiers to inventory.
Large boxes were carried down one by one and placed on the ground.
Tian Kai casually opened a few large boxes, finding them full of silver coins, opium, or gold and silver jewelry, and showed them to the Blue Star friends in the live stream:
"The situation in the ’Republic’ really is tough right now."
"Warlord infighting, the people can’t live in peace."
"Even a small warlord can amass so much. Imagine how bad the ’Republic’ is right now."
The hubbub over the [May Fourth Movement] hadn’t died down yet, and there was still chatter on the player forums, but his starting time was in 1921.
The [May Fourth Movement] in 1919 was already two years past.
And after the 1920 [Zhiwan War], warlords sprouted up like mushrooms after rain, with this one fighting that one, and that one fighting this one.
Especially after hearing that Feng Guozhang and Zhang Zuolin were going to war, leaving small warlords unchecked.
This made the small warlords even crazier.
Forget about controlling a city or a province.
Even controlling a few townships can make one a warlord, showing how chaotic the situation is.
If there were a real-time map right now.
Tian Kai estimated there would be no fewer than a hundred warlords throughout the ’Republic’, and there was fighting everywhere.
After all, controlling a few towns allows you to claim to be a warlord; gathering a hundred warlords in such a big Republic is a piece of cake, maybe even too few.
Tian Kai continued to clear the battlefield, and some new Blue Star viewers in the live stream were puzzled by his equipment.
[Is the streamer this destitute?]
[What identity did you choose at the start to be this down-and-out, or did you just not do well?]
[Why hasn’t the streamer given up yet?]
[Hurry up and restart.]
Seeing the comments flashing by, Tian Kai gave a mysterious smile:
"Restarting is impossible."
"Look at what I have here."
Tian Kai mysteriously revealed a gray plot card.
[Nanchang Uprising, also known as the August 1 Uprising, fired the first shot of armed resistance against the reactionaries.]
