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

Half a year passed in a flash. During this half year, the situation in Daqian was very lively. The new army and the old army of the imperial court almost came to a head. If it weren't for Cao Beiwang's suppression, the entire Kyoto would have been in chaos.

For this reason, the new army's combat plan to attack the Qin army was shelved again because the old demon queen was very dissatisfied with the yellow-robed boy. Nearly 50 old troops were stationed around Kyoto. These 50 old troops also made the yellow-robed boy jealous, because a few months ago the old demon queen suddenly had a 23-year-old biological son. This made the yellow-robed boy very scared and afraid that the other party would replace her, so he mobilized new troops to enter Kyoto.

After the 100,000-strong army entered Kyoto, there were many frictions between the old army and the new army. More than a dozen senior commanders died in the new army, making the new army soldiers even more hostile to the old army soldiers. So in the past six months, there have been many minor frictions between the two armies. These minor frictions also consumed most of the energy of the old demon queen and the yellow-robed boy, so they had no time to take care of the Qin family in the northwest.

During the past six months, the six northwestern provinces have lived a very comfortable life. Qin Lin's main task in the past six months has been to expand the only division, expand the division into an army, incorporate it into the Qin Army sequence, and number it as the Qin Army's 7th Infantry Army.

As for this infantry army, Qin Lin thought again and again and decided to follow his own ideas. The previous two infantry brigades were expanded into a division. The organization of each division was still the same as the previous single division, with a full staff of 2.5 people, two brigades and four regiments, plus a heavy artillery brigade. As for the guard regiment, it was changed to a guard battalion, so the number of personnel was less.

In addition, the equipment of the three armored divisions and the aviation division were all delivered two months ago. Therefore, in addition to establishing infantry, the 7th Army also added an armored division, a heavy artillery division directly under the army, a transport brigade directly under the army, and a guard brigade, with a total of 9 personnel, comparable to a legion.

"One, two, one, one, two, three, four. Sweat more during training, bleed less during battle."

The Great Snow Mountain was covered in white at this time. There had been a heavy snowfall in December. Qin Lin had moved his troops to the Great Snow Mountain area several months ago to start special training. After three months of special training for the new troops, they began a two-month actual combat exercise.

The veterans led the new recruits in a 6.5-kilometer cross-country run in the early morning. The soldiers started their morning run before dawn.

"Beep beep."

The armored soldiers are also becoming more proficient in the armored tanks in their hands. Night training is the best way to reflect whether an armored soldier is qualified, because night combat raids are the norm for armored forces. They must adapt to fighting in the dark and be able to drive flexibly in various environments to annihilate the enemy.

"boom!"

Snipers and precision shooters conduct combat exercises and hunt in the snowy mountains to hone their sniper instincts.

After the five-hour special training in the morning, we had lunch. The lunch was very rich, with vegetables, meat and white rice. We had an hour's rest, and in the afternoon, we had tactical and combat exercises. In the evening, we had theoretical studies. The artillery soldiers learned about artillery, and the armored soldiers learned about tanks and armor. Anyway, the whole day was packed.

Among them, the most tiring is the Guard Brigade. The 13 soldiers of the Guard Brigade undergo hours of high-intensity training every day. Qin Lin's subsequent arrangement for the Guard Brigade is to build the first special forces of the Daqian Kingdom, which is still under experimentation.

"Young Marshal."

On the three-inch snowy ground, Chief of Staff Deng Wenzhong took a puff of a cigarette and said, "Three months of recruit training is over, and the assessment results are out. All of them passed, and more than half of them were excellent. I think we should let the brothers take a break. They have been so tense for three months."

"Alright."

Qin Lin was silent for a moment and then said, "Ask the logistics department to mobilize 200 farmed cattle. I will pay for beef hotpot for the brothers out of my own pocket. Hotpot is perfect in this cold weather."

"Haha, that's a good feeling."

Deng Wenzhong smiled and said, "It's a waste of money for the young commander."

After saying that, Deng Wenzhong went to notify them happily, leaving Qin Lin and Zhang Hu Wubei walking on the white snow. Seeing the soldiers training hard on the snow, Qin Lin was very satisfied.

"Zhang Hu."

Qin Lin asked, "How is your guard brigade training going?"

"very good."

Zhang Hu responded, "It's still a long way from what the young marshal described as a special forces unit, but we will continue to work hard to build one."

"very good."

Walking on the snow, Qin Lin asked Wu Bei, "How is the Military Intelligence Bureau?"

“Steady progress.”

Wu Bei responded, "The Military Intelligence Bureau has already established a foundation throughout the country and overseas. Now we just need to develop steadily. Please rest assured, Marshal."

"Ah."

"What is the current situation of the court?"

"As usual, no one is willing to give in to the other. From time to time, I give them some small tricks to keep the old demon queen and the yellow-robed boy busy. Oh, by the way," Wu Bei continued, "Cao Beiwang seems to have had an accident."

"Oh!"

Qin Lin's eyes lit up and he asked, "Tell me more about it."

"Half of the dozen commanders we assassinated were Cao Beiwang's close disciples and the backbone of the new army. The death of these people was a great blow to Cao Beiwang. Coupled with the civil strife in the court, General Cao's old injuries relapsed and he is now being treated in the Imperial Hospital."

"It looks like Marshal Cao won't be able to hold on for much longer. Sigh," Qin Lin said with a sigh, "Once Marshal Cao dies, the world will be in chaos! But it's time for chaos!"

"How about the others?"

"The Hunan Army, Wolf Army, Cao Army, and Black Army are all developing steadily," Wu Bei said. "The Hunan Army purchased a batch of heavy firepower from Tsarist Russia, and the Wolf Army and Cao Army purchased heavy firepower from the United States, mainly light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and mountain cannons, etc."

"It seems that the battle of Shanglu has had a great impact on them!" Qin Lin shook his head and smiled, "But it's a bit late to realize this problem now."

"It's getting dark, let's go back!"

As night fell, Qin Lin returned to the military headquarters. At this time, the political commissar, the chief of staff, and the two deputy chiefs of staff were discussing the subsequent development plan of the 7th Army, as well as tactical simulations, etc. Anyway, everyone had their own work to do.

Instead, Qin Lin was the only one free. He smiled and went back to his room to take a nap.

In the evening of the next day, 200 cows were turned into fresh beef slices thanks to the efforts of the cooking company. In addition to beef, there was also a lot of wine, wild vegetables picked by the soldiers, and hunted game. Everyone sat in the open air and started to eat beef hotpot in platoons, enjoying the meal very much.

"brothers!"

Qin Lin's voice began to spread across the snow. He shouted, "Brothers, you have worked hard for several months of training. I toast to you all for your great work."

"Done!"

"Oh, snap."

The soldiers screamed excitedly, then raised the wine in their hands and drank it all. After that, they began to drink and brag with their comrades. It was because of this big party that the hearts of more than 7 soldiers of the 9th Army were connected together. On this cold snowy land, hot hearts exuded a temperature that could resist the cold.
