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

Civil war broke out, the worst in the Central Plains.

The Hunan Army with 20 troops attacked Changbei Province, the Wolf Army of Guangdong and Guangxi joined forces with the Cao Army of Yunnan and Guizhou, with a total of 30 troops attacking Fujian and Xia, and the Black Army sent 20 soldiers to attack Meng Province. The imperial court's million-strong old army began to fight with various rebel forces. The entire Central Plains region was in full swing, but the Qin family in the northwest sat back and watched the fight, and did not compete with the world.

"The fighting in the Central Plains is really fierce," said Deng Wenzhong, who was in the passenger seat. "The sky is about to break. It is estimated that there are 180 million troops deployed on the battlefield, and five provinces are caught in the flames of war."

"Let them fight."

Qin Lin said, "We can build high walls, store up food, slowly claim the throne, and train our troops well. As for the rest, as my father said, we can just sit back and watch the world's situation. As long as we don't enter the pass, no one can do anything to the Qin army."

"arrive."

The car arrived at the Dongsheng Group headquarters. Qin Lin finally made time to come to the Dongsheng Group headquarters today to learn about the group's revenue last year. As for Deng Wenzhong, he took a car to the Northern Sichuan Military Factory.

"Young Marshal, you are here."

Jian Nanchun, vice president of Dongsheng Group, welcomed Qin Lin to the office, and then asked his secretary to make a pot of fine tea. He said, "Last year, our Dongsheng Group's total domestic revenue reached 2550 million, and the total overseas revenue reached 4990 million, a total of 7540 million, which is nearly 2000 million higher than last year. This is mainly because all products in Citigroup have doubled in price, and we have sold more products this year, which has greatly increased our revenue."

"Ah."

Qin Lin was very satisfied with this figure. This year, the tax revenue of the six northwestern provinces reached a huge amount of 6200 million, which was several million higher than the previous year. Especially with the investment in a large number of production machines, he believed that the economy of the six northwestern provinces would become more prosperous.

"Has my father arranged for this money?"

"Master Marshal reserved 2000 million, saying it would be used as a war reserve fund, and the remaining 5540 million will be distributed by Young Marshal."

"Well," Qin Lin thought for a while and said, "You can use the 1540 million for the development of the group this year, mainly to produce penicillin, anesthetics and other war drugs developed this year, and keep the remaining 4000 million for me."

Qin Lin has a great use for the 4000 million, because the reason Deng Wenzhong went to the military factory was because the first type of tank armor on the blueprint had been developed. Deng Wenzhong went to inspect it, and if there were no major problems, it could be mass-produced. Therefore, the 4000 million had to be kept, because once the war broke out, armored tanks had to be produced continuously and put into front-line combat.

In the end, what wars are fought for is money, people, and territory. These three things are indispensable if you want to dominate the world, and it just so happens that the Qin family has all three.

After understanding the basic situation of Dongsheng Group, Qin Lin made some instructions, such as the drugs must be kept confidential and circulated within the war-torn country as quickly as possible.

Another thing is that they can start the arms trade. There are factional struggles breaking out in many countries surrounding the Daqian Kingdom. The weapons of the big powers are too expensive, so his Qin family can sell them at a slightly lower price and win by quantity. Because one of the three major military factories can meet the needs of the Qin army, the seven arsenals are also full, and three more are being built, so they can open up the arms route first.

Everything the Qin family is doing now is in preparation for the final battle.

"Young Marshal."

At this time, Zhang Hu came up to Qin Lin and said, "Master Shuai asked you to go to the headquarters."

"Prepare the car."

Soon, Qin Lin arrived at the headquarters. At that time, there were more than a dozen generals sitting in the headquarters. These people were the iron brothers who had conquered the world with his father Qin Yuanzhong, and each of them was an expert in leading troops.

"Young Marshal."

Seeing Qin Lin coming in, everyone stood up to show respect. Qin Yuanzhong was also very satisfied with this. Since the battle of Shanglu, the soldiers in the Qin army have become more and more satisfied with Qin Lin's recognition, especially the generals.

"Ah."

"All sit down."

"Across."

Everyone sat down quickly, and Qin Lin also sat down at the first seat. He didn't know why his father called him here, so he didn't say anything.

"For more than a month, the Central Plains has been fighting fiercely. I see that you guys are getting anxious, so I'm holding a meeting here," Qin Yuanzhong said. "We are all brothers, and I won't say much. Anyway, you have to follow the military orders, keep your troops still, and don't participate in the Central Plains war."

"Please rest assured, Master."

The commander of the 37th Army, Tang Yuanjun, said, "As long as you don't speak, even if there are a million young women in the Central Plains, I, Old Tang, will not move."

"Hahaha."

The commander of the 29th Army, Guan Qirui, said with a smile, "You! Looks like I'll have to punish you by making you face the wall to change your temper."

"Don't, I was so depressed after facing the wall for half a month last time." Tang Yuanjun patted his chest and said to Qin Yuanzhong, "I understand what you mean, sir. We can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. After all, the imperial court has 60 new troops, so it's not that easy to fight."

"Old Tang is right."

Qin Yuanzhong pointed at Tang Yuanzhong and said, "So what we have to do now is not just to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but also to accumulate strength. I have thought about expanding the army."

"Expand the army?"

Wu Xingde, the chief of staff of the Qin Army, said, "My Qin Army has three armies, 26 brigades, plus two newly equipped armored divisions, a total of 36 troops, and the young marshal's more than 9 troops, a total of 45 troops, and 2 air force troops, that is, 47 troops. If we expand the army further, the military expenditure will have to increase again!"

"How much is our military budget now?"

"Let me put it this way!" Wu Xingde said, "The average military pay for 47 soldiers is six yuan a month, twelve months a year, and we have to spend more than 3300 million yuan a year on military pay alone, plus subsidies and other food, drink, and defecation. This year's military expenditure is expected to be 5500 million, and the fiscal revenue of the six northwestern provinces last year was 6200 million. After this reduction, there is only 700 million left. Fortunately, each province has reserved funds for subsequent use, otherwise even the operation of the six northwestern provinces would be a problem."

"How much money does Dongsheng Group have on its books?"

Qin Yuanzhong asked Qin Lin.

"4000."

"Then we will use 9.4 million to expand the army," Qin Yuanzhong said. "This expansion will be based on the recruitment of % of the number of troops in each unit. In other words, we need a total of reserve personnel. In this way, once the war starts and there are losses, we can quickly fill them with reserves to prevent the entire army from losing its combat effectiveness."

"I agree."

Deputy Commander Su Jianzhong said, "During the chaos in the Central Plains, more than 100,000 people died in the past month, especially the old imperial army, who were killed or captured in large numbers, and all forces were also damaged, so our reserve recruitment plan should be implemented to prepare for the war."
