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

"The first option," Howard Harry said with a smile, "is that your country cedes Shanglu and makes the entire Shanglu a concession of the United States. Then the United States will be on good terms with Daqian, and we will be one. The United States will regard you as an ally. As an ally, the United States can provide weapons and equipment to you. Of course, the price will be preferential."

"The second option is also very simple, that is, all the islands of Daqian Country will be ceded to the United States. The United States will build these islands into the Hanzhou military base. When the time comes for you to go to war with the East Ocean Country, the United States can also help you."

"The third option is!"

Howard Harry looked into Qin Lin's eyes and said, "Daqian will become a vassal state of the United States. In this way, even the East Asian country will not dare to touch your Daqian, because you are a vassal state protected by the United States. No country in the world dares to pay attention to your Daqian."

"How about it?"

Howard Harry looked at Qin Lin and said, "I suggest that you choose the third option, Marshal Qin. This way you can avoid the impact of the war and develop with peace of mind."

In fact, in Howard Harry's heart, he also hoped that Qin Lin would choose the third option, because in this way, as the ambassador of the United States to the Daqian Kingdom, he could make a lot of money in this vassal state, and who would dare to say anything!

"Haha."

After hearing the three options proposed by Howard Harry, Qin Lin shook his head and laughed out loud. Howard Harry next to him thought that Qin Lin was laughing happily, so he laughed too.

After three years of walking on thin ice, Qin Lin found that he was not as courageous as he was when he was in the small northwest. At least at that time he dared to confront the Eagle Empire. During these three years, the strength of Daqian Kingdom was thousands of times stronger than that of the Qin family in the northwest. But now it was treated as a sick cat!

He was always worried that the hard-earned peace of Daqian would be lost, that Daqian would be invaded by other countries again and fall apart, and that the calculations of more than a decade would eventually come to nothing.

But the more you fear something, the more God seems to like to use the thing you fear to test you, to intimidate you, to make you succumb to this fear, and become a slave to fate.

He was always waiting, waiting for the economy of Daqian to develop, waiting for the advent of advanced weapons. Even if he was bullied by others, he would only send a telegram of warning. In the long run, the deterrent effect of this telegram would be as thin as a piece of paper and not worth mentioning.

So, Qin Lin didn’t want to wait anymore, nor did he want to be afraid anymore!

The worst that could happen is that the country would be torn apart and the economy would collapse, but even so what? Qin Lin had the ability to unify the Great Qian Kingdom, so he had the ability to unify the Great Qian Kingdom again. Qin Lin had the ability to drive out the Japanese pirates, so he had the ability to drive out all powerful enemies.

He has the support of hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians, what is he afraid of?

"Snapped!"

The table was shaken by a soft white hand, and Howard Harry, who was still laughing beside him, suddenly shut his mouth and looked at Qin Lin with a puzzled look, "Master Qin, what are you doing?"

He was laughing just now, how come his expression changed so suddenly?

"Ambassador Howard, do you really think that our Daqian Kingdom is easy to bully?"

Qin Lin glanced at Howard Harry with cold eyes and said, "Whatever the Daqian Kingdom is like, we don't need you, the United States, to make decisions. As for the bullshit options you mentioned, I just have one thing to say. If you, the United States, dare to get involved, I will fight you too!"

"see a visitor out!"

After saying that, Qin Lin just flicked his sleeves and left.

Howard Harry was slightly stunned as he watched Qin Lin leave. He thought to himself, is this Young Marshal Qin stupid? Does he not know what he is talking about? Even attacking the United States, how can the other party have the confidence to say this!

With Daqian's backward economy? Or with Daqian's backward armaments? Or with this passion, can they defeat the United States, which is known as the world's military hegemon?

"ridiculous!"

Howard Harry could only use these two words to evaluate the naive young commander Qin. To use an idiom from the Daqian Kingdom to describe him, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating one's own capabilities.

Seeing a silver-haired old man expelling him, Howard Harry also walked out of the Saint Palace with his head held high. The next time he comes here, the high-spirited young commander will come to the bed and greet him in person.

After leaving, Qin Lin called all eight cabinet ministers and five senior military officers to the Qiandian meeting room. This is an independent meeting room exclusively for senior officials. Everything discussed here is a major event that can determine the future direction of the Great Qian Kingdom.

"Damn it!"

After Qin Lin put forward Howard Harry's three options, Yang Wenbin was the first to slam the table and shouted, "These bastards really treat us as soft persimmons and want us to become a vassal state of the United States to fulfill his dream of a great country."

Everyone was talking at once, and they all supported Qin Lin. As long as there was a war, they would fight to the end!

"Young Marshal."

Ji Lao, one of the eight ministers of the cabinet, said, "Since these people regard our Daqian Kingdom as a soft persimmon, then we don't need to pretend anymore. With our current strength, even if several countries unite, they have to consider whether they can bear the price of attacking our Daqian Kingdom!"

"There is another point," Ji Lao continued, "since you don't intend to hide, then I suggest that you can start your plan to build a country. We have been walking on thin ice for three years, and we have survived the most difficult time."

"Now the food in our granaries is enough for the annual consumption of 6 million people in Daqian. The ammunition in our arsenal is enough for Daqian to fight several national wars. Our military-industrial system and our industrial capacity, under your promotion, young commander, are catching up with the old powers!"

"And the boast I made back then, that we would make Daqian's economy the best in Hanzhou within three years, has now been accomplished," Ji Deyuan shrugged. "Now I'm going to boast again, that our annual revenue this year will exceed 10 billion, and in three years we'll be among the top three in the world. This is the third boast I've made, and I'll make sure it's implemented."

"so!"

Ji Lao said with a firm look, "We have money and people. We are the world's most populous country and we have resources. Why should we fear these evil spirits? We will fight them to create a bright and prosperous world for our descendants. We will show the might of the Han people and let these foreigners see that the Han people cannot be insulted."

"If you anger us, you will have to bear the consequences!"

Ji Lao was the first to raise his hand and said, "I agree with the young marshal. We should show the muscle of our Daqian country and beat up these arrogant foreigners. Let's drag them down and let them taste the suffering of the world!"
