I, Qi Tongwei, cultivate demonic arts and will begin my reign as emperor in northern Myanmar!

A sudden pang of regret gripped him. II.

Because with his current cultivation level and abilities, he is not yet able to make the entire formation cover all areas of Karen State.

Otherwise, if they successfully conquer the entire territory of Karen State, they only need one magic array to be invincible.

However, things are not bad now. At least Myawaddy is very safe now, and there are very few things that can threaten it.

When missiles arrive, they are like pebbles thrown into water, not even causing a ripple.

Of course, if several hundred missiles were to be lost all at once, the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Array would not be able to withstand it.

However, it's unlikely that anyone would do that.

Let alone defeating a missile, even just one would cost astronomical sums.

Even developed countries would probably be overwhelmed by the sheer number of missiles they could launch at once.

However, just in case, Qi Tongwei decided to keep a backup plan.

He's going to set up an illusion array!

Because illusion arrays are relatively simpler and require fewer materials.

Most importantly, once the illusion array is successfully set up, the capital city of Myawaddy can be hidden at any time.

Even the most advanced satellites cannot detect the existence of Myawaddy.

We are now engaged in high-tech warfare.

Qi Tongwei naturally wanted to use every available resource to enhance the strength of the Great Han Empire.

When he decided to establish the Great Han Empire, he had already thought everything through.

The world's radar satellites are indeed very advanced. For powerful nations, they can detect secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to detect at any time, if they so choose.

The Great Han Empire has many secrets that cannot be known to others, and Qi Tongwei naturally had a plan in mind from the very beginning.

Even for those satellites, they are not omnipotent.

With the illusion array, they are blind.

Even in the face of high-tech warfare, including weapons like intercontinental ballistic missiles that can destroy targets, they will remain invincible.

Therefore, the arrangement of the illusion array is very necessary, as it involves national security.

Moreover, this is the most effective way to deal with satellites in this world, and it is the most suitable option for Qi Tongwei at present.

The Great Han Empire has only been established for a short time. Although its name is prestigious, Qi Tongwei knows in his heart that the country he founded is still very poor.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he received a lot of money from Suqidu and Lao Chong before, and that he also made a fortune through the wars. That money might be enough for personal use, but when it comes to the whole country, it's simply not enough.

Because war relies on firearms, but they currently lack the capacity to develop and produce firearms themselves. Every war results in huge expenditures, and once these weapons are depleted, they will need to purchase them from other countries.

The money he needs to purchase the nine weapons is not a small sum, so he naturally cannot do unrealistic things like those wealthy countries.

Fortunately, he is a demon cultivator, which is his unique advantage.

Although they currently cannot afford to build satellites and do not have the necessary conditions, they can use magic arrays to counter satellites.

When the country becomes powerful in the future, they will also have their own satellite and missile defense systems; this is not a dream.

However, he really didn't care about those missiles when it came to defense.

Because any formation he sets up can defend against most missile attacks.

Therefore, there is no need to go to great lengths to pursue those flashy but impractical things.

However, regardless of the circumstances, it is no exaggeration to describe the situation of a newly established country as being besieged on all sides.

War can break out at any time, and every war requires huge sums of money to sustain.

People come second.

Therefore, making money is now of paramount importance to them.

This is one of the main reasons why he emphasized to Su Qidu that it was essential to keep those jade mines under his control.

Besides what you need, any excess jade ore can be traded to make money.

The jade market in Myanmar is extremely popular, and the annual profits are very substantial.

Qi Tongwei is not opposed to the online gambling business.

Because it's a mutually agreeable transaction and a game within the normal rules, but he has absolutely no liking for telecom fraud.

Telecommunications fraud may seem lucrative, but the money involved is disproportionate to the damage to their reputation.

Moreover, since they don't have any other easy ways to make money, why would they bother with fraud?

However, they are not short of money at the moment.

In addition to the existing businesses of Su Qidu and Lao Chong, they can also generate considerable profits.

……

presidential palace.

After reading the announcement issued by the Great Han Empire, Aung San was so angry that his face turned ashen.

He went so far as to overturn all the food on the table and start smashing things indiscriminately.

They had previously held a meeting to discuss countermeasures against Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire, but after a long discussion, they still couldn't come up with an effective solution.

Because the fighting power displayed by the Great Han Empire's army was so strong, the Burmese army has now completely lost air superiority in the Kayin State region.

If they were to engage in a land-based skirmish, they would have no chance of winning.

Everyone knows that their weapons and equipment are very outdated. Due to limited military spending, their army's weapons and equipment are basically defective products discarded by other countries.

In contrast, the Han Empire, though its army numbered only 20,000, was equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry.

In particular, the individual rocket launchers of those five hundred Royal Special Operations soldiers are extremely powerful and have astonishing destructive force. If those five hundred men were to charge forward, no matter how strong a fighting force is, it would probably be unable to cope.

Besides these special forces soldiers, the other ordinary soldiers were no pushovers either. They were far superior to the Burmese army in terms of both physical strength and combat experience.

What terrified them even more was that the soldiers of the Great Han Empire wore bulletproof vests made of some unknown material; they were impervious to bullets, which was the most chilling thing!

Imagine, ordinary bullets would do no harm to them at all, like a tickle, unless they hit a vital spot.

Otherwise, even if the soldiers of the Great Han Empire were wounded, they would attack them tirelessly and without feeling pain, until they wiped them all out.

This is the most terrifying aspect of the Korean Empire's army!

Aung San even wanted to select a commander-in-chief to lead the expedition, but no one was willing to take on the task.

Because they dare not!

If the battle is won, things will be fine, but if it is lost, there is a high possibility that there will be danger to life.

Moreover, he also has to bear the criticism from the domestic public, so the pressure of being the commander-in-chief is enormous. This position is like a hot potato, and no one dares to take it!

The Aung San authorities are in an awkward position.

The Great Han Empire has already issued a notice demanding that their troops withdraw from Karen State within a specified period, but until now, they haven't dared to utter a single word.

Their weak actions have once again broken the hearts of the Burmese people.

The thought of the demonstrations and marches outside, and those protests, gave Aung San a headache.

His presidential palace was already surrounded by angry crowds, and he dared not go out at all.

Furthermore, fearing that the public might be blinded by anger and rush in, threatening his life, he specifically used his presidential privileges to mobilize an army to protect himself.

But he himself knew in his heart that this was not a long-term solution. They had to win a decisive victory to curb Qi Tongwei's arrogance.

This could boost the confidence of the people across the country and also help the authorities regain some face.

However, this is easier said than done.

Faced with such a fierce Han Empire, none of Myanmar's many famous generals dared to take on the heavy responsibility!

But now, they're being treated like dirt, and if they don't react, they'll completely lose public support.

Left with no other option, Aung San had to send his cousin, Aung Gula, to fight against Qi Tongwei's army in Kayin State.

This battle is a must!

Because they cannot withdraw from Kayin State and cede their territory.

That would be no different from selling out one's country for personal gain!

What's more, his own brother, his only brother, died at the hands of Qi Tongwei, a blood feud that is irreconcilable!

Aung Kula is one of the most renowned generals in Myanmar. Although he is not the most outstanding, he is very steady in battle and is the kind of person who is not greedy for credit or reckless.

Although he wasn't the best candidate, he had no other choice.

"Angula, you mustn't let me down."

Aung San stood at the window, looking in the direction of Kayin State, a deep worry in his eyes.

Whether they can salvage any face depends entirely on this battle.

If we lose this battle, we'll be in big trouble!

……

Kayin State, Myanmar Army Headquarters.

Angula looked at the military map in the command post, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

He was forced to take command of the battle this time, even though he was facing a formidable enemy like the Han Empire. To be honest, he really didn't want to come.

If it weren't for the fact that the president was his brother-in-law, he would definitely have refused.

Because this time, he doesn't have much of a chance of winning.

If they lose this battle, not only will they lose face, but his reputation as a famous general will be forever tarnished.

He was already of retirement age and could have been enjoying his golden years with his family.

But now, he found himself back on the battlefield, feeling utterly helpless.

After staring at the military map for a long time, he sighed inwardly.

Based on the intelligence they had previously obtained, the Han Empire's army was extremely well-equipped, far more advanced than theirs.

Moreover, those soldiers were all brave in battle, each one capable of fighting ten, and some of the core elites were even capable of fighting a hundred!

Their Burmese army not only has outdated weaponry, but also low morale.

Given such a stark contrast, he really didn't know how to win this battle.

"Ugh!"

Thinking of the difficult situation before him, Angula sighed deeply.

He felt very sorry.

If the Karen military airfield had not been destroyed, they could have used those fighter jets to gain air superiority.

In this way, they can make up for their lack of equipment and low morale to the greatest extent possible.

But now, the harsh reality makes him feel that he doesn't have much of a chance of winning.

However, he understood that regardless of whether he won or lost, lived or died, he had to fight this battle.

Because he represents the face of Myanmar!

If he flees without a fight, he will truly lose face. But if he is defeated, although he will also lose face, at least it will prove that the Burmese side has not bowed down to Qi Tongwei.

He summoned several mid- to high-ranking military officers and began making arrangements.

"Gentlemen, the enemy we are facing this time is extremely powerful. We must not be complacent in the slightest. You should know that although they have not fought many battles, they have a glorious record."

"Moreover, the enemy's weaponry is very sophisticated, and we are far behind in this respect. But they are not invincible. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat them, because we represent justice!"

"Now let's make some arrangements."

……

While Angula and others were formulating their battle plan, Suqidu was not idle either.

Although he was determined to win this war.

But he was not arrogant.
