My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

But after thinking for a while, he immediately found a loophole and refuted: "This is absolutely impossible. Even if you occupied Guangxi, you just took it. How could you have so many troops?"

Jiang Li laughed again when he heard this, "Is it important?"

"Even if there are only half of a million troops, it will be enough to swallow up those small warlords around us one by one."

"By the way, let me tell you a secret. I built more than a hundred artillery batteries along the Minjiang River, installed thousands of cannons, and built several airports."

"Any enemy who wants to enter Guangdong from the Minjiang River will be beaten so hard that they can't find their way home."

"And even if they land, I only need to leave 100,000 or 200,000 troops to guard the border, and I can safely mobilize 700,000 or 800,000 troops to encircle and suppress those ignorant enemies!"

"Does Mr. Henry still think I should be afraid of an enemy from the sea?"

Henry was very anxious when he heard this, but he still tried his best to argue, "Even if you can gather so many people, they are just farmers with old weapons and have never participated in any wars. They have no fighting power at all!"

Jiang Li curled his lips after hearing this, "It seems that Mr. Henry, your intelligence is not very good. My territory was won through fighting one battle after another. I have more than 300,000 men under my command, and they are elite troops who have fought and won battles for many years!"

"Later, when we occupied Guangdong, we took in more than 200,000 prisoners, and when we occupied Guangxi, we took in more than 400,000 prisoners. These more than 600,000 people were veterans who had fought for many years, and during this period, we recruited more than 400,000 new soldiers."

"As long as we train them for a few more months and send them out to fight in a couple of battles, they will become veterans, too."

"As for weapons, you are even more ignorant. The vampire Earl Edward spent a huge amount of money to get the warhorse blessed by the gods from me."

"I am willing to trade all kinds of weapons and their production lines. Now my soldiers are all equipped with British equipment, which is no worse than any other country!"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask William how much money he made from it!"

After hearing what the translator said, Henry immediately looked at William and smiled embarrassedly. When he saw that William did not deny it, he trusted Jiang Li's words a little more.

He had a rough idea in his mind and no longer worried about it, but suddenly he remembered what Jiang Li had just said, and then his attention was successfully drawn by Jiang Li to the gods and vampires.

So, he began to ask about the five lower gods and Earl Edward that Jiang Li mentioned.

But there are huge differences between Eastern gods and Western gods. Jiang Li explained it for a long time but he still couldn't understand it. In the end, he could only continue to ask about Edward.

At first he thought that Jiang Li was trying to instigate him by saying that Edward was a vampire, but the more he listened to their description, the more he suspected that Edward might really be a vampire.

But he would never admit it, so he forced himself to find a way out, "Since Commander Jiang, you said there is a misunderstanding, then I will go back and tell the Queen what you said. Goodbye!"

He turned around and was about to leave, but William stopped him at this time, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Henry, I will leave with you!"

After saying that, he turned back to look at Jiang Li, but got a please-come-at-home gesture from him.

Upon seeing this, William immediately became very happy and left with Henry.

Watching these British people leave, Zhao Hong couldn't help himself any longer and stepped forward to ask Jiang Li tentatively, "Commander, the two million troops you just mentioned shouldn't be true!"

Jiang Li looked at the head of the intelligence team in silence. He never expected that this guy actually had a hint of doubt that such an outrageous number was true.

Seeing his inquiring eyes, he said nothing, rolled his eyes at him, and then waved his hands impatiently, "Go down, go down, don't disturb me from handling government affairs!"

Seeing that Jiang Li was so impatient, Zhao Hong stopped pestering him and tactfully retreated.

But after he went down, he did not give up. Instead, he returned to the intelligence group and continued to organize the information about military pay and rations, hoping to determine a rough figure.

...

On the other side, Henry Thomas and William set off immediately after getting on the boat. Along the way, he took a special look at the sky and happened to see several training planes in training.

However, since they were flying at a high altitude, he couldn't see clearly what kind of plane it was. He just took note of it as a fighter jet. "There are six in total. It seems there is indeed an airport nearby!"

On his way back, he carefully observed the river bank with a telescope and indeed found a large number of artillery batteries. However, due to the long distance and the obstruction of trees, he could not see clearly how many guns there were.

However, he could confirm that this Dongfang Jun surnamed Jiang did not lie to him. He really deployed a large number of coastal defense artillery on the shore and built an airport.

"If the British Empire really wanted to enter Guangdong from the Minjiang River, we would be in big trouble!"

"No, I have to go back and tell the Queen about this as soon as possible, so as to avoid a big loss. As for the matter of Earl Edward, I should also let the people of the Vatican to confirm it!"

...

By the time he got off work in the evening, Jiang Li had finally finished dealing with most of the government affairs, but since his wife and children were not here, he did not plan to practice.

Instead, he took out the relics of the Black Mountain Ghost King, ready to see if they could be of any help to his own cultivation.

He had already handed the Netherworld Battle Flag to Li Lin, asking him to take it back to Maoshan and try to repair it. Now in his hand, he had a blood-red battle sword, the soul crystal of the Black Mountain Ghost King, and the Ghost King Order that recorded the Black Mountain Ghost King's practice methods and spells.

The soul crystal is evil and cold, and its use is currently unknown. The blood-red sword is 1.8 meters long and feels heavy and cold in the hand, and no one knows what it is made of.

In addition to the evil aura around it, there is also a fierce aura. Since it is a ghost weapon, it should have extra damage against ghosts.

But he really didn't need it for now, so he put it aside.

Next is the Ghost King's Order, which contains many spells and a cultivation method called the Battle Soul Art.

The most important thing is that this Battle Soul Art is a complete and very advanced method for cultivating spiritual consciousness.

You know, since ancient times, the techniques for cultivating immortals and refining the body have not been scarce, but the techniques for cultivating the soul are much rarer.

Although the underworld has methods for cultivating the soul, they are not allowed to be passed on to outsiders.

Jiang Li became very excited when he thought of this. In addition to the thin spiritual energy, another key factor that restricts practitioners in the Dharma Ending Age is the strength of the practitioners' spiritual consciousness.
