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

On June 6, Dongyang Foreign Minister Tenchi Shota and Daqian Foreign Minister Li Sheng signed a peace treaty at Shanglu City Government. The content of the peace treaty was that Dongyang would no longer invade Daqian under any pretext, and that the number of Dongyang troops stationed in Daqian would not exceed 10.

As for the transaction with Qin Lin, it was not included in the contract. This was also the intention of both parties.

The Kingdom of Japan spent 5500 million silver dollars to redeem nearly 5500 prisoners from Qin Lin. In addition, this million also included a series of expenses such as subsidies for Qin army soldiers.

Qin Lin knew that it was unlikely to get the Japanese to pay hundreds of millions of dollars. Once the Japanese were angered, they might not want the prisoners. So he was able to get 5500 million, thanks to the help of the United States, otherwise he would have to give it half the amount.

However, Qin Lin has been taking good care of the nearly 10,000 prisoners returned to the Japanese these days. He makes them take a chronic poison of three insects and three grasses every day, which is mixed in their food and forced down their throats. According to Deng Wenzhong, in about half a month, almost all of their internal organs will be attacked by the poison in batches, and then their whole bodies will fester and they will die.

Deng Wenzhong's evil plan was most suitable for use against the Japanese.

After signing the contract, Qin Lin carried a huge sum of money and his unique division and began to return to the northwest, but he left first because according to the Military Intelligence Bureau, the old witch queen of the court wanted to capture him and take him to Kyoto as a hostage, so how could he not run away?

......

On June 6, Qin Lin arrived at Beidu Prefecture Railway Station accompanied by Zhang Hu and Wu Bei. Because they took a detour, they arrived at Beidu Prefecture almost at the same time as the Du Yi Division.

"Finally we're here!"

Qin Lin took a deep breath and got off the train. Outside the train stood rows of soldiers, including all eleven generals of the Qin army who had arrived, as well as Qin Yuanzhong, the Northwest Inspector General.

"salute."

Qin Yuanzhong shouted, and everyone saluted Qin Lin, the soldiers of the First Division, and the relics or ashes of the martyrs in the hands of the soldiers.

"Let the martyrs rest in peace!" Qin Yuanzhong shouted.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

The soldiers marched in step, each taking seven steps, then walked out of the train station and headed towards a Qin Army Martyrs Cemetery in the suburbs of Beidu. No one took a car, as everyone walked to see these 3000 martyrs off to rest in peace.

"We vowed to wipe out the Japanese pirates, regardless of our own safety, and three thousand minks and silks were lost in Lucheng!"

Three thousand Qin soldiers died on the battlefield, leaving behind piles of bones, but who knew that these soldiers were the husbands of young women's dreams, the support of their elderly mothers at home, and the backers of their underage children!

"My son!"

Tens of thousands of people came to see them off on the streets. Families of the dead soldiers also showed up. The streets and alleys of the entire Beidu Prefecture were filled with heart-wrenching cries that shook the sky and the earth. But the only thing they could not allow was their deceased loved ones to appear before their eyes.

Qin Lin's eyes also turned red. He sacrificed his life for the country and regarded death as returning home. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help crying. He became more determined in his heart to build a peaceful country without war. No one would die in the war anymore, and everyone could cultivate the land in their hands and live a peaceful and healthy life.

After walking 17 miles, everyone arrived at the Martyrs' Cemetery. As the commander of the sole division, Qin Lin asked the martyrs' families to personally see their loved ones off.

"Send the soldiers!"

Qin Lin choked up and shouted, "Rest in peace."

The military song sounded, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the First Division sang the military song with red eyes as they sent their comrades to rest in peace. After all the martyrs were buried, the soldiers of the First Division shouted, "Brothers, rest in peace."

"Go back!"

Qin Yuanzhong came up to Qin Lin and patted his shoulder to comfort him, then took Qin Lin away. The father and son took a car back to the Inspector General's Mansion.

"War means death!"

"This is just a minor fight," Qin Yuanzhong said. "The Dongyang country has evil ambitions and will not stop just because of this war. According to the Military Intelligence Bureau's senior intelligence team, the Dongyang country is urgently preparing for war and recruiting 100 divisions across the country. The wolfish ambitions will not die in devouring our Daqian, so we must be prepared for more deaths."

"I see."

Qin Lin responded, then was silent for a while before saying, "In this battle of Shanglu, I extorted 5500 million dollars from the devils, and seized 1250 million dollars from Beicheng. I want to use it to buy armored units and strengthen the construction of the flight headquarters. Because it is obvious in this battle that heavy weapons are one of the key elements that determine victory in the war."

"I leave it entirely to you."

Qin Yuanzhong said, "The Qin army of more than 300,000 soldiers has begun special training on your soldier training manual, and the equipment department is also vigorously producing weapons. We strive to complete the special training so that the weapons configuration of all troops can reach the level of your unique division."

"Ah."

Qin Lin nodded and said, "In the battle of Shanglu, the Japanese did not deploy large-scale flying units, armored units, and naval units. Therefore, we were able to win because we had the advantages of terrain and people. So we had almost all the advantages of time, place, and people. It is not a pity that we were able to win. Therefore, we must not rest on our laurels and must strengthen our development."

"There is also an industrial level," Qin Lin continued, "In addition to purchasing weapons, the rest of the seized money will be used to build industrial development. We must increase investment in our second-generation steam engines, thread machines, forging machines, and automatic linear production machines. The most important thing is wireless telecommunications equipment. Once it comes out, it will be of great help to the development of the army."

"We still have time, we can take it step by step."

Qin Yuanzhong said, "No matter what you want to do, I will support you unconditionally. Even if you want to turn the northwest upside down, I will cover it for you. Just do it."

After returning to the Inspector General's Mansion, Qin Lin went to his office to sort out his thoughts on how to develop the Northwest in the future. The technology points in his mind continued to increase, and the accumulated points reached 8 points, which were enough to exchange for a lot of technological fruits, but Qin Lin held back, because he kept these technology points to exchange for tanks, armor, and fighter production line drawings, as well as manufacturing drawings of aircraft, tanks and armor production lines.

In terms of heavy weapons, his Qin family still has not made any breakthroughs. The three major scientific research bases established several years ago have not been able to develop an armored tank and fighter jet of their own, so Qin Lin still places his hopes on the technology tree.

"Young Marshal."

Deng Wenzhong quickly came to Qin Lin's office and said, "The soldiers who died in the battle have been arranged. What about the pension?"

"What do you think?" Qin Lin asked.

"According to the standards of our Qin Army, the one-time pension for soldiers killed in battle is 40 yuan, and soldiers who have made meritorious service also receive an annual pension of 20 yuan per year. This time we lost 3000 soldiers, all of whom have made meritorious service. According to the calculation, our one-time pension should be 15 yuan, and the annual pension should be 8 yuan per year for 5 years, so the total is 55 yuan. Isn't this a little too little?"

"Can!"

Deng Yuanzhong said, "The rules can't be changed every day, otherwise it will be a mess, so this!"

"This is easy to handle."

Qin Lin said, "This time we seized a total of 6750 million in Japanese funds, so we can say that the extra pension is a dividend from the spoils of war. In this way, the pension for soldiers killed in battle will be doubled to 110 million."

"Young Marshal."

Wu Bei ran in and shouted, "The equipment for purchasing the United States has arrived."

"Leave the pension issue to the political commissar," Qin Lin said to Deng Wenzhong, "Your mission is to quickly restore the troops' combat effectiveness. I'll go check out the new weapons."

"clear."

The Qin army’s pension is reduced by half. This table shows the pension for the protagonist’s troops.
