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

The Qinglong National Army, the Military Chairman, that is, the President of Qinglong Zhou Sheng, plus the Qinglong National Army Marshals, the Three Armies Chiefs of Staff, the Three Armies Political Commissars and more than a dozen other senior military commanders gathered together at this time to discuss the battle plan to seize Niutou Island again.

"I don't think it's appropriate."

A middle-aged man in a handsome white navy uniform said, "With the naval strength of our Qinglong Nation, our chances of winning against the nine fleets of the United States are slim."

"Old Xia, when will your navy be able to say that it has a high chance of winning?"

A middle-aged man in an army uniform said with a slightly hot temper, "It was your navy's fault last time that the U.S. Navy fleet broke through the defense line, and our army sacrificed more than 70,000 people. If we can follow the battle plan and blockade Niutou Mountain Island for three days, our army guarantees to take back Niutou Island within three days."

"I want it too!"

Navy Marshal Xia Yingzong frowned and said, "Qinglong Country only has five major naval fleets, of which there are only three main fleets, and the United States has mobilized six main naval fleets to blockade our waters. How can we fight against the United States?"

"As for the number and quality of warships, we are far inferior to the United States, which has developed its navy for decades. Our Qinglong navy has only been developed in the past ten years or so, and it is still in its infancy. How can we compete with the United States, which has millions of tons of warships?"

"What about the Great Qin Empire?"

When everyone heard about the anomaly of the Qin Empire, they were all stunned, because the Qin Empire could not be viewed with common sense. Within three to five years, the other party quietly developed two major naval fleets. Relying on these two major naval fleets, the other party was invincible in the world. Who could they complain to?

"The Great Qin Empire!"

Xia Yingzong sighed and said, "If our Qinglong Country has missile destroyers and advanced aircraft carrier battle groups, we can also fight against the United States."

"Don't underestimate the Qin Empire, as it only has two main fleets. These two fleets are equipped with seven 10,000-ton aircraft carriers, which can carry more than 500 carrier-based aircraft. They are almost a walking air force base. There are also dozens of missile destroyers, which can defend against air, ships, and submarines. How can we compare with the Qin Empire?"

"I, Xia Yingzong, am not afraid of the U.S. Navy. The gap is just too big, and it is not something that can be made up by tactics. So, if we want our navy to defeat the U.S. Navy, there is only one way, and that is to fight to the death. But can our Qinglong Nation afford the consequences of this fight?"

"It's not time for a decisive battle yet."

Zhou Sheng said at this time, "To be honest, given the military strength of the United States, it is somewhat surprising that we can do this. I thought that the United States would definitely attack our Qinglong country in half a year, and then we could only rely on the depth of our land area to fight against the United States. I didn't expect that after half a year, the United States' army is still outside our waters."

"However, a land war is the worst scenario. If we can defend against the attack of the United States at sea, that would be the best outcome."

"Yes."

The Field Marshal agreed and said, "So, it all depends on the navy. As long as the navy can hold on, the sea blocking plan can be completed."

"Disaster."

Xia Yingzong only said one word, but no one refuted it because everyone knew how powerful the U.S. navy was. Let alone their five fleets, even if they doubled their strength, they might not be able to defeat the current U.S.

What's more!

The speed at which the U.S. Navy launches its warships is as fast as dumplings. If it weren't for the fact that the Qin Empire developed a missile destroyer and installed missiles on the warships, which caused the U.S. to stop all naval construction plans, the U.S. would now be able to complete at least the eleven main naval fleets planned by their navy.

If the United States had eleven main naval fleets, their Qinglong country would be even more unable to defeat them.

“It’s not that difficult.”

Just when everyone was silent, suddenly a deep voice broke the silent atmosphere.

Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw an elegant young man striding in. This man was Qin Lin who was invited by Zhou Sheng.

"Qin Huang, how was your breakfast? Was it to your liking?"

"very good."

Zhou Sheng stood up to greet Qin Lin, asked Qin Lin to sit next to him and said with a smile, "Come and see the military meeting of our Qinglong Country. The United States really beat our Qinglong Country badly!"

"Oh, can you tell me more about it?"

"of course."

Zhou Sheng personally explained to Qin Lin, "Take the war casualties for example. In the past six months, our Qinglong Country has lost about 48 soldiers, while the United States has not even half of our Qinglong Country, only 19. Judging from the war casualties, the other side is the attacking party, and our Qinglong Country is the defending party, which puts us at a disadvantage."

"There is also a battlefield in the sea. My Qinglong Country and the United States are engaged in a war on 300 islands in Qinghai. My Qinglong Country has lost 193 islands in the past six months. Now there are only the last 21 islands left. If these 21 islands are also taken away by the United States, then my Qinglong Country's coastal cities will be in danger."

Listening to Zhou Sheng's analysis and looking at the battle map in front of him, he could indeed see that the current situation of Qinglong Kingdom was very dangerous. If he was not careful, the United States might very likely take away all of its sea rights.

"Emperor Qin!"

Zhou Sheng shook his head and said, "My Qinglong country was divided for eighty years, and it was only truly unified thirty years ago. During these thirty years of unification, my Zhou family led Qinglong country from a backward empire to a newly-emerged power. However, compared with century-old powers like the United States, our foundation is too poor."

"My Qinglong Kingdom does not have the ability of your Great Qin Empire to overtake on the curve, so we can only develop step by step. Without the support of your Great Qin Empire's missiles and main battle tanks, my Qinglong Kingdom's current situation may be even more precarious. That's why I called you here today to ask for your advice."

"The Hundred Years of Friendship Covenant signed between our two countries is a true alliance. We have entered into in-depth cooperation in many areas. It is not just a piece of waste paper like other allies. Therefore, I, Zhou Sheng, dare to invite Emperor Qin to come to my military headquarters today to give Qinglong Kingdom some advice, hoping to save Qinglong Kingdom from its current predicament."

"of course."

Zhou Sheng looked at Qin Lin sincerely and said, "If you, Emperor Qin, have any unspeakable secrets, I, Zhou Sheng, will never complain. Our two countries are still as usual, two allies with deep friendship. I hope that you, Emperor Qin, will not feel any burden."
