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

Shanglu became a ruin after the war.

The first main fleet of the Eastern Kingdom was showing off its might in the coastal waters. The 460mm naval guns on the Yamato-class battleships could aim at targets 40 kilometers away and carry out bombing. Half of Shanglu was within the bombing range. The imperial court had no way to stop this and could only let the devils show off their might.

The Japanese 11th Front Army, with 17 army divisions, 3 armored divisions, a total of 20 divisions, and troops, arrived in Shanglu one after another under the transportation of the transport fleet and established a military front in Shanglu.

The imperial court fought and retreated for more than a month, and completely lost Shanglu.

After the 11th Front Army of the Japanese invaders entered Shanglu, the entire Shanglu was littered with corpses and cries of complaint. The reason why the Japanese invaders were called Japanese invaders was that they were not human and committed all kinds of atrocities such as burning, killing, looting and so on.

On a street in southern Beijing, a Japanese lieutenant colonel and several non-commissioned officers were drunk. When they saw a girl on the street, they raped her and shot her to death without mercy.

During this period, after the Japanese invaders entered Shanglu, they killed no less than 100,000 people from the Daqian Kingdom, seized no less than 10 million worth of supplies, and destroyed more than 10,000 houses.

"You beasts!"

A man saw the Japanese treating an unarmed girl like that, so he immediately stood up, picked up a shovel and hit the Japanese on the head, causing the Japanese to scream "Baga" in pain.

"boom!"

When the Japanese soldiers saw someone dared to hit their commander, they just opened fire without any hesitation, because in their eyes, the Daqian people were worthless.

This scene was photographed by a reporter, who took the initiative to apply to hand over these materials to the National Daily in order to confirm the evidence of the Japanese devils' numerous atrocities in the Daqian Kingdom.

Within a few days, a large amount of evidence about the Japanese devils' atrocities in Shanglu was exposed. Looking at the contents in the newspapers, 5 million people in Daqian Kingdom were furious, because it was only a few days since the Japanese devils took over Shanglu, and more than people were killed in Shanglu.

A full 100,000 unarmed civilians!

In the past few days, they were ruthlessly killed by the Japanese devils. Many unarmed women were defiled by the Japanese devils and then ruthlessly killed. Such actions completely angered the 500 million people of the Daqian Kingdom.

College students are on strike to join the army, and workers are on strike to join the army. They are determined to avenge their dead compatriots and make the Japanese pay the price in blood!

[I want to take my three-foot sword and go east to kill Fusang! ]

The Japanese burned, killed and looted on their Daqian land, so they must be prepared to pay ten or a hundred times the price.

Hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions of young people began to join the army, but no one joined the imperial army. It was because the imperial court gave up Shanglu that caused such a tragic situation, so millions of people began to want to join the Qin army to drive out the Japanese pirates and return our land to us.

Those who wanted to join the army declared that they did not want military pay, any casualty allowance, or a cemetery, and all they wanted was a meal and a gun.

Faced with this situation, Qin Lin personally recited the famous line from ancient times, "A hundred battles in the yellow sand will wear out the golden armor, and I will never return until I have conquered the East."

In order not to discourage the people, Qin Lin, under tremendous financial pressure, asked the military to start selecting civilians who were excellent and met the standards to join the army, and to expand the reserve force by 200 million at one time.

According to Qin Lin's plan, these 200 million reservists were to be moved to the northern region for six months of soldier training, 150 of them would be eliminated in half a year, leaving million to join the regular army.

However, the number of 200 million reservists is far from enough to satisfy the determination of the people of Daqian to join the army, so Qin Lin spoke again, asking students to return to the classroom and workers to join in the construction. The Qin army will make the Japanese pay the price in blood for what they did, and specifically pointed out that the court's inaction and non-resistance attitude was shameful.

Now, Qin Lin's reputation in the hearts of the people of Daqian has reached the top. As long as Qin Lin raises his hand and calls for help, hundreds of millions of people in Daqian will firmly believe in and support Qin Lin. So after Qin Lin came forward, the turmoil began to stabilize.

Factories resumed operations and students returned to the classroom, but 200 million reservists also began to arrive in the northern region by train for a six-month training.

The imperial court that was named by Qin Lin was also greatly shaken at this time because they could not pay the soldiers, and because they did not resist, the soldiers under their command felt somewhat disgusted, because the Japanese killed the parents of their compatriots. So would the Japanese butcher knives be directed at their families one day?

As a result, soldiers mutinied within the seven legions on the imperial front, and the commanders led their soldiers to leave the imperial court, declaring that such a court was not worthy of their loyalty.

Nine other legions jointly threatened the imperial court to pay military salaries and order the imperial court to take back Shanglu, otherwise they would go to Shanglu in person to fight the Japanese.

"Son of a bitch!"

In Jinling City, an angry curse was heard from the Army Headquarters. This curse was uttered by Liao Xingchao, the temporary infantry marshal of the Army, who slammed the table and cursed.

"What does the Ministry of Finance want to do?!"

Liao Xingchao yelled at a general commander, "It has been two months since we received the military pay. How can the soldiers fight so hard? Now, seven legions have mutinied. This means that nearly 500,000 soldiers are gone. Nine legions have also jointly called on the court to pay their salaries. I want to see how Zhou Yangbo will respond."

"Marshal, be careful with your words!"

"Be careful with your words," Liao Xingchao couldn't help but shout as his temper flared up. "Damn it, old commander, Marshal Song gave him a good hand, but he played it badly. Before he was in power, he was humble and listened to advice and valued the old commander, but now that he is in power, he listens to the treacherous ministers and lets the civil officials supervise the war. Isn't this just forcing us military officers to death! He keeps retreating, I don't know how far he can retreat to."

"marshal."

At this time, a colonel adjutant quickly came to Liao Xingchao and said, "The emperor has ordered you to see him."

"Humph!"

Liao Xingchao snorted coldly and said, "Prepare the car."

When Liao Xingchao entered the palace to meet the emperor, Acting Navy Marshal Ding Luhai and Air Force Marshal Chen Dehua gathered at Xuanwu Gate. Seeing Liao Xingchao's aggressive expression, Ding Luhai, an old classmate, said to Liao Xingchao, "Marshal Liao, are you really angry?"

"The soldiers mutinied, and sixteen legions were affected. How can we not be angry?"

"How can I not be angry when the devils show off their might in my Great Qian Country, burning, killing and looting?"

"My imperial court's million-strong army retreated again and again, and let the civilian officials supervise and command the battle, which delayed the battle opportunity. How can I not be angry?"

"You may be angry, but the power of heaven is unpredictable. You have to hold back your hot temper in front of His Majesty, after all!" Ding Luhai frowned and said, "The current His Majesty is not the one who was humble and courteous to others back then."

"I!"

"Lao Liao, for the sake of your wife and children, please be patient!"

Ding Luhai said with a serious face, "If you say what's in your heart, your entire clan will be killed! This matter just needs someone to take the blame, you should not ruin your lifelong reputation. The current court is no longer worth our desperate support, the world now belongs to the Qin family."

"you!"

When Liao Xingchao heard the Qin family, his face suddenly changed.

"Lao Liao, you and I have been classmates for five years. I know your character."

Ding Luhai said, "It must be because of the old marshal's request that you are so devoted to the court, otherwise you would have quit long ago. But I am telling you now, the old marshal's request is not to ask you to be devoted to the court, but to be devoted to the world and the people. If you trust me, come to my Ding Mansion in the evening."
