Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

At the Longcheng headquarters, Qin Lin had investigated why the Japanese sent 25 troops to the front. The reason was simple. Cai Jianming's infantry division was about to capture the Giant Stone City. The Giant Stone City was one of the gateways to Yizhou. Once it was opened, the next section would be a hundred kilometers of flat land, so how could the Japanese not be anxious!

"That's it."

Qin Lin said to Deng Wenzhong and Yang Wenbing, "Then the overall grand strategy can almost be finalized."

"What do you mean?" Deng Wenzhong asked.

"Come and see," Qin Lin said as he came to the sand table. "The two heavy armies in the rear have a total strength of nearly 40. We can use these nearly 40 troops to contain the Japs' Sixth Front Army. If the Japs' Sixth Front Army doesn't go, that would be the best. We can then take back the three black provinces. But this possibility is not great. The Japs' Sixth Front Army will definitely come back to support the rear."

"So we only used two heavy armies to pin down the main front army of the Japanese, the Sixth Front Army."

Qin Lin continued, "We have five army groups, 75 troops, and flying troops at our frontline headquarters, no less than 80 troops to fight against the Japanese Third Front Army. Although the Japanese Third Front Army claims to have 155 million troops, the puppet army has 110 million. Therefore, our 80 troops are against the Japanese 45 troops. Who has the advantage?"

"My grand strategic deployment is still divided into three steps," Qin Lin pointed at the map and said, "The first step is to destroy the Japanese Third Front Army. The second step is to encircle the Japanese Sixth Front Army and take back the entire northern region. The third step is to point the sword at the southern Japanese. Of course, if the imperial court has not been severely damaged by the Japanese by that time, then we will take care of the imperial court as well. After these three steps, the whole country will be unified."

"My grand strategy must be completed within two years. In other words," Qin Lin said, looking at the two people in front of him, "the whole country will be unified within two years."

"During these two years, our air force must double, at least 60 flight divisions must be established, the number of fighter planes must not be less than 6000, the structure of our first naval fleet must be built, and our army must exceed 300 million. This is what your military needs to do in the next two years."

"This is not a difficult problem," Yang Wenbin said, "As long as the economy and industrial strength are improved, fighter planes, armor, and warships can all be completed. The key issue is the three-step process. It may not be easy to defeat the Japanese in two years. After all, the Japanese are a new power with strong military and industrial strength. If the other party sends out troops, with a population of 60 to 70 million and economic strength, it is not difficult for them to send out an army of 5 to 7 million. So two years!"

"That depends on how we fight and command this war," Qin Lin responded. "The current situation in Heizhou is likely to affect our Hanzhou region, and the first to bear the brunt will be our Daqian country, so we must complete the unification within two years to deter neighboring countries and the powerful countries."

"Otherwise, if we go to war with the East Ocean Kingdom, other countries will likely come to get a piece of the pie. This can be seen from the negotiations with the Eagle Empire. The other party already wants to get a piece of the pie from our Daqian Kingdom. As long as the Eagle Empire establishes a military base in Black Continent, then the other party will likely use Black Continent as a springboard to invade our Daqian Kingdom."

"Humph!"

Yang Wenbin snorted coldly, "They are all full of wolfish ambitions!"

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is an eternal truth, so we have to stand up. The first step to stand up is to defeat Dongyang Country, so as to show the muscle of my Qin family. If other countries want to invade my Daqian Country, then you have to weigh your own abilities!"

Qin Lin said, "In just two years, our industrial level will be able to catch up with the great powers. Don't worry about that. So you just need to develop your military strength and win this battle."

Qin Lin has absolute confidence in industrial development.

As time went by, the industries in various regions developed, agriculture was promoted, and the number of technology points increased, so all the spent technology points were earned back, and now the accumulated number has reached 160 million.

Most of these technology points will definitely be used to exchange equipment blueprints and promote military development. For example, radar technology, satellite technology, infrared night combat systems, missile technology, jet fighters, anti-missile systems, and fire control systems, etc., are all key research projects of the Qin family's scientific research base in the future.

But! Another part has to be used to develop industry, such as generators, third-generation steam engines, communication equipment, giant computers, civilian airliners, large excavators, third-generation linear production lines, etc. Qin Lin exchanged a total of 300 types of civilian technology, consuming 20 technology points. He specially established a civilian research institute to develop these civilian industrial equipment to promote local development.

Therefore, there has been a detailed plan for the development of industry, called the Shenghan Eight-Year Plan, which aims to use eight years to build the Daqian Kingdom into a top industrial power.

"As long as there is industrial support," Deng Wenzhong said, "it is not impossible to defeat the Japanese within two years."

After the three of them discussed the overall strategy, they began to focus on the present, because the most important thing now was to fight the battle in front of them well.

"Since the Japanese have come to our door, we will accept them with reluctance," Qin Lin pointed at the map and said, "The Japanese have 25 troops supporting Giant Stone City, of which 20 are puppet troops. However, my two major armies with 30 troops stationed here should have no problem defeating the Japanese's three divisions and 20 puppet troops!"

"how to eat?"

Yang Wenbin said, "As soon as the war starts, if the Japanese are at a disadvantage, the surrounding Japanese divisions will quickly support the direction of Boulder City. So we have to eat up these 25 troops before the surrounding Japanese troops arrive. It seems that this is not very realistic!"

"Then continue to send more troops."

Qin Lin looked at Yang Wenbin and said, "I have five armies, 75 troops, the Imperial Guards, and the flying troops, which is no less than 80 elite troops. It would be best if the Japanese Third Front Army dared to start a battle in this Giant Stone City to decide the outcome. But from what I know about Tianchi Shota, he doesn't have the guts to do that!"

"Haha."

Deng Wenzhong laughed when he heard this, "Young Marshal is sure to defeat Tianchi Jiangta. That's right, I have a deep understanding of Tianchi Jiangta. The opponent does not have this courage. As long as the 25 troops are in a weak position, Tianchi Jiangta will quickly withdraw troops and then rely on the terrain to block the attack."

"you two!"

Yang Wenbin laughed and said, "It's true what the old saying says, 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll win every battle.' You guys even know what kind of shit the other side does, so how can you beat them?"
