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

At the Longcheng headquarters, after learning about the battle situation on the front line, Qin Lin made another troop deployment.

"Add more troops," Qin Lin said, looking at the map, "Send two more armies to attack. This time I want to completely wipe out the Japanese Third Front Army."

"More?"

Deng Wenzhong said, "If we add more, we will have 75 troops deployed on the front line."

"Yes!"

Yang Wenbin also spoke up, "This time, we have deployed 45 troops to the front line, more than 900 fighter planes, three armored tank divisions, and five heavy artillery divisions. The Japanese were defeated. In just a few days, the Japanese lost no less than 3 troops!"

"If we send more troops, it will only increase the pressure on logistics," Yang Wenbin frowned. "In just a few days, logistics has consumed 880 million silver dollars. If we continue to fight like this, Old Qian will be poor again."

"Don't worry about the money."

Qin Lin explained, "The imperial court lost 19 new army soldiers, and two marshals came to our Qin army, which made Zhou Yangbo so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot."

"Originally, Zhou Yangbo should have fainted, which would have been a chance for the powerful minister Lei He to take control of the government, but Lei He was in our hands, so we lost this opportunity."

"Now the Lei family has been negotiating with us again and again, saying that they want to redeem Lei He, and the ransom is enough to support the consumption of our front-line troops this time."

"So valuable?"

Deng Wenzhong sighed, "It will be difficult to end this battle without 2 million casualties!"

"Don't even mention 20 million. Will the other party give more?"

Yang Wenbin said, "This is a chance to control the government. This opportunity should not be missed. What I'm curious about is how this Lei family can come up with so much money?"

"Hey!"

Qin Lin said coldly, "You underestimate the aristocratic families of our Daqian country. The so-called century-old dynasties and thousand-year-old aristocratic families are true. The total amount of materials seized by my Qin family in the cleared areas is no less than 20 billion, but none of the eight great families are included. Their wealth is beyond your imagination."

"This Lei family is one of the eight great families, and they have produced five prime ministers in the past five hundred years. Can you imagine how much wealth they can amass?"

"In their view, 2000 million is not a small amount, but it will not break a bone."

"In that case," Deng Wenzhong said, "if someone gives us money, we can use these two armies to attack. Once we send out five armies and cooperate with the air force for support, the Japanese will not be able to jump around for long."

"My Qin family's military strength has surpassed that of the Eastern Kingdom. This is beyond reproach."

Yang Wenbin said, "According to data analysis, our military strength is six points higher than that of the Eastern Kingdom. Of course, the navy is an exception. As for other things, such as the economy, we are far behind the Eastern Kingdom."

"The Japanese have more than ten times more financial revenue than we do. That's why we can't engage in a full-scale war with them, because our logistics can't sustain it and we can't afford to fight them."

"Now that we have the Lei family's capital injection, we can start a firepower war with the Japanese, but that's all. Otherwise, the logistics pressure will be very great, and our economy can't keep up with the logistics output capacity."

"Old Yang is right," Qin Lin shook his head and sighed, "I do have 10 billion in funds, but I have to reserve 2 million just for military pay and other expenses, and another 16 million for the operation of 2 provinces. So, at most, this year's war funds are only 170 million. If our Qin army of 2 million troops is fully fired, we can consume this 6 million in months."

"So this is also our shortcoming. If I had 50 or 60 billion, I would be confident that I could defeat the Eastern Kingdom within a year. There is no need to take it so slowly."

"The reason why I set the war duration at two years is not to say that it will take my Qin army two years to defeat the Dongyang Kingdom, but that with a two-year buffer period, we will have the funds to win this war."

"money!"

Deng Wenzhong put down the pencil in his hand and said, "In the end, what is fought is money and industrial strength. The combat power of this unit will only be one of the key factors for victory in the war."

"You're right."

Qin Lin agreed, "Why are the five old powers scrambling to fight for territory in Black Continent? It's because they know the importance of resources, so they fight each other. Look at the economies of these five old powers, which country is not prosperous, and the annual fiscal revenue exceeds 10 billion, so money is very important."

"If I had money."

Qin Lin smiled wistfully and said, "The Qin army will be expanded to 300 million, armored tanks will be maintained at 2, and flying fighters will be maintained at 1.2 of various types. As for the navy! There must be at least five or six fleets."

"Hahaha."

Yang Wenbin and Deng Wenzhong laughed when they saw this scene, "Young Marshal, I didn't expect you would dream about money."

"you two!"

Qin Lin pretended to be angry and said, "You two have spent the most money this year."

"There's nothing we can do about it," Yang Wenbin spread his hands and said, "170 million soldiers need money to eat, drink, defecate and urinate every day! What's more, we are still at war with the Japanese, which makes us even more of a money-eating beast."

“These hardships are short-lived.”

Qin Lin consoled himself, "As long as we defeat the Eastern Kingdom and unify the country, I am confident that within three years, I can catch up with the great powers and make Daqian Kingdom no longer bullied by other countries."

"Ah."

Deng Wenzhong nodded and said, "Everything we are doing is to create the arrival of this moment."

"Yes!"

"But our situation is not too bad," Qin Lin said, "We have survived the most difficult time. Now we have the support of strong industrial capacity, the support of most of Daqian country, and the support of 5 million people. So our situation is much better than before."

"All right."

Qin Lin took out two flags and stuck them on the sand table, saying, "Mobilize the 115,116th and th armies to attack Ai County and Bei County. Destroy the Japanese in these two counties. Don't let any of them go."

"clear."

Deng Wenzhong said, "With the support of these two armies, our front-line troops will have 75 troops. The Japanese are already at the end of their strength. If these two armies can encircle and suppress them again, I'm afraid we can end the battle by mid-August."

"No need."

Qin Lin said, "Two and a half months is too long. We must severely damage the enemy's frontline army within two months and annihilate the enemy's Third Front Army within four months."

"When winter comes, our front-line army will join the two heavy armies in the rear to encircle and suppress the Japs' Sixth Front Army. By the beginning of next year, the Japs' Sixth Front Army will be severely damaged, and my Qin family must take back the northern provinces."

"By the end of next year, we must unify the Great Qian Kingdom and drive out the various armies from the East."
