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

In the reception room, Sergei, the Vice President of Tsarist Russia, and Batur, the King of the Outer Steppes, were sitting on chairs and talking. Because the Great Qin Empire gave them a seven-day deadline, they had no choice but to come to the Great Qin Empire and negotiate with it.

Now they have witnessed the strength of the Great Qin Empire, which destroyed the 21-strong army of the Oriental Kingdom in ten hours. As a Tsarist Russia that had fought with the Oriental Kingdom and suffered losses at the hands of the Oriental Kingdom, it knew how powerful the combat effectiveness of the Oriental Kingdom's army divisions was.

Although they won the war at the beginning, the number of troops and firepower they deployed were several times that of the Oriental Kingdom, and they paid a huge price to repel the Oriental Kingdom. The Qin Empire destroyed the Oriental Kingdom’s 21 elite troops in just ten hours. At that time, they dispatched a million troops, thousands of heavy artillery, and thousands of armored tanks to severely damage the Oriental Kingdom’s 15 troops.

A glimpse of the situation will reveal how powerful the Qin Empire's military strength was at that time. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Tsarist Russia did not want to go to war with the Qin Empire, and the same was true for the outer steppes.

but!

Although they did not want to go to war with the Qin Empire, they did not want to hand over the Outer Steppes to the Qin Empire even more, because the Outer Steppes would be the only place that could sanction the Qin Empire. Once it was returned to the Qin Empire and the Qin Empire built a military base in the Outer Steppes, it would be a huge threat to Tsarist Russia.

"You two, long time no see."

Qin Lin, led by the Secretary-General, came to the reception room and greeted the Vice President of Tsarist Russia, the King of Outer Grassland. Then he sat in the first seat and went straight to the point, "According to historical records, this Outer Grassland is an inseparable part of my Great Qin Empire, so I gave you a seven-day appointment. I hope Batu will consider it carefully and make the right choice."

Batur felt a little unhappy when he heard Qin Lin calling him by his full name instead of "Your Majesty". As the number one warrior in the outer grassland, he had no good feelings towards the young man in front of him.

"Emperor Qin."

Batur responded, "My Outer Grassland Royal Court does not belong to anyone. It only belongs to the people of our Outer Grassland, not to your Great Qin Empire. As for the seven-day deadline you gave, please take it back. My Outer Grassland will only be in the hands of my Batu family."

"so!"

Qin Lin looked at the Vice President of Tsarist Russia and said, "Is this also what you Tsarist Russia meant?"

Hearing this, Sergei frowned slightly, because this was not what he meant. He meant to invite the Qin Empire to co-govern the outer grassland royal court and each occupy a piece of land, but he did not expect Batur to say this suddenly!

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that Tsarist Russia and the Qin Empire are fighting each other, and in the end the one who will benefit is likely to be Batu himself, so Batur suddenly said this, obviously he has his own little thoughts.

Because the other party knew that Tsarist Russia would never give up the Outer Steppes, and the Qin Empire would never give up the Outer Steppes either, so this was an open conspiracy, which would directly cause a head-on conflict between Tsarist Russia and the Qin Empire, and Batu would profit from it.

But now he couldn't refute Batur's statement, because if he refuted it, it would mean that they, the Tsarist Russia, were at odds with the Batur family. If they were at odds, what qualifications did they have to interfere in the affairs of the outer steppes? It was reasonable, so now he could only bite the bullet and nod his head.

"If that's the case, then why did you two come to my Great Qin Empire?"

Qin Lin stood up and said, "Secretary General, please show us around!"

After saying that, Qin Lin left directly. He really didn't understand why these two came to the Great Qin Empire. Didn't they have a clear choice, which was to choose not to return to the Great Qin Empire? Since they chose not to return, then they could just go to war directly.

Watching Qin Lin leave, Sergei angrily looked at Batur and said, "Who told you to say that? You said that because you want to make millions of people on your outer grassland die without a burial place!"

"madness!"

Sergei stood up and left, leaving Batur sitting alone in the reception room. However, for Batur, who had conquered the world on horseback, he did not know how serious the consequences of his words would be for the Batu clan.

Qin Lin left the reception room and came to the military headquarters, where he found Zhang Hu, the chief commander of the Excalibur Special Forces. When given a choice, Qin Lin transferred Zhang Hu back to the military headquarters from Western Xinjiang, and the Excalibur Special Forces were also transferred to Inner Grassland Province, where they were on standby.

"How to say?"

Deng Wenzhong asked, "I don't think they will simply return the outer grasslands, right?"

"Refused."

Qin Lin told Deng Wenzhong, Yang Wenbin, and Zhang Hu what happened in the reception room. They were stunned because the other party refused, and refused very straightforwardly. Then why did they go to the Qin Empire at great trouble to negotiate? Isn't this a contradiction?

"I guess."

Deng Wenzhong said, "Something must have gone wrong. This change is most likely caused by Batur, because the Russian Empire's reply to our military department was that they needed to negotiate. It was very clear that they were willing to jointly govern the outer grasslands with us. But now they suddenly said this, it must be Batur's unilateral intention."

"interesting."

Yang Wenbin laughed and said, "I thought these foreign grassland people were just muscular animals, but I didn't expect that there would be a person who can think."

"It's better to be a muscular animal than a thinking animal, because its thinking will almost plunge the entire outer grassland into war," Deng Wenzhong responded.

"Never mind that."

Qin Lin waved his hand and said, "Since the other party has made their choice, we don't need to worry too much. We can just take back the outer grasslands. Now the troops stationed by the United States, France, and Eagle Country have all withdrawn, leaving only Tsarist Russia. We don't need to worry about anything. We can just send out special forces to take it back."

"Zhang Hu."

"arrive."

Zhang Hu stepped forward and came in front of Qin Lin, waiting for orders.

"As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to train an army and only a day to deploy it. I have put all my efforts into building your Divine Sword Special Forces," Qin Lin said solemnly. "For your training, I have specially established a special military base and a special research institute for you. Your weapons and equipment are top-notch in the world. Now I have a task for you, which is to use your own means to take back the outer grasslands..."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Zhang Hu saluted and shouted, "Half a month, Your Majesty, please give the Divine Sword Special Forces half a month. After half a month, the outer grassland will be taken back by my Divine Sword Special Forces."

"very good."

Qin Lin said with satisfaction, "I'll wait and see."
