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

"I can't say I can give you any pointers," Qin Lin said as he looked at the generals in front of him. "These are all top students who graduated from famous military academies around the world and have made a great name for themselves internationally. Take General Xia for example. He used one fleet to counter the threat of three main fleets from powerful countries and maintained peace in the waters of Qinglong Nation for ten years."

"There is also General Liu, one of the five most famous military commanders in Nanyangzhou. He has commanded hundreds of large-scale battles with a victory rate of 95%. He is a well-known master of command tactics."

"So, in front of these famous generals, I really can't give you any advice. First of all, I, Qin Lin, have never been to a military school, and secondly, I don't understand the national conditions of your Qinglong country. The most I can say is that I can talk to you a little bit."

"I'll tell you what I think."

Qin Lin picked up the baton and said, "It is a very wise choice to fight with the United States in the three hundred islands in Qinghai. This way, the war can be kept away from the mainland and there will be a buffer zone, but!"

"For islands in the sea, naval warfare is the main focus. The U.S. Navy is known as the world's number one navy, with a tonnage of over 300 million tons. With such a strong naval force, choosing to fight a naval battle with the U.S. is not a very wise choice."

"Speaking of this, everyone may find it very contradictory. We want to keep the war away from the country, but we cannot fight a naval war with the United States. Isn't this a contradiction?"

“It’s indeed contradictory, but we can think outside of this.”

"Look," Qin Lin pointed his baton at Giant Lizard Island, the island closest to the coastal city of Qinglong Country, and said, "This island is 69 kilometers away from the coastal city of your Qinglong Country. This distance is beyond the range of the U.S. Navy's naval guns. So, wouldn't it be better to fight here?"

"Monitor Island?"

The Qinglong Army Marshal frowned and said, "This is the last island of the 300 islands in Qinghai. If this island is taken by the United States, our Qinglong country will have no buffer zone."

"There's actually not much difference between one and three hundred."

Qin Lin continued, "Monster Lizard Island is the largest of the 300 islands in Qinghai of your Qinglong Nation. There is a complete air force base and naval base on this island. There are also dozens of small islands around this Monster Lizard Island. It is an excellent place for defense."

"Look at the small islands around the Giant Lizard Island. Don't they look like sea fortresses? As long as we install coastal defense guns on these islands and send out army troops to garrison them, it will take a lot of time and energy for the United States to take down these small islands."

"Moreover, the area of ​​the Monitor Lizard Island is as high as 8 square kilometers, which is almost comparable to half of the East Asian country. With such a large island lying here, the United States will definitely take the Monitor Lizard Island first, and then use it as a springboard to march into the Azure Dragon Country. Otherwise, they will dare to march into the Azure Dragon Country without taking the Monitor Lizard Island. You can cut off the supply of the American army at any time."

“So the strategy of the United States must be to first seize the 300 islands in Qinghai, and then use these 300 islands to form a maritime chain to impose a maritime blockade on your Qinglong country.

Once this guide chain is completed, your Qinglong Nation will be trapped."

"You are very clear about this in your hearts, so you value every island very much. No matter if the terrain is favorable to you or unfavorable to you, you will not give up easily. This is exactly the strategy of the United States. They use these 300 islands to consume the manpower and national strength of your Qinglong country and undermine the morale of your Qinglong military."

"In fact, in my opinion, among the 300 islands in Qinghai, only this Giant Lizard Island has a terrain that is truly favorable to you. So if I were to command this battle, I would abandon all the islands and go to war with the United States on Giant Lizard Island."

"Use Giant Lizard Island as your base. Deploy the five major naval fleets of Qinglong Country and build a series of sea fortresses with the islands surrounding this Giant Lizard Island. Then, fight a land battle with the United States on this Giant Lizard Island."

"Given the size of the Giant Lizard Island, even if both sides deployed millions of troops, there would not be much of a problem. The Giant Lizard Island is only 60 to 70 kilometers away from your Qinglong Country, but it is thousands of kilometers away from the United States. It is very difficult to transport troops, support, and supplies."

"Even if the United States built military bases on 300 islands in Qinghai, it would not be as convenient as yours right next to us."

"Once a million troops are deployed to fight a land war, the cost will be huge, and the casualties will be very high. And your Qinglong country has so many famous generals. To fight a land war, you only need to unite the three armies, the army, the navy and the air force, with the army as the main force and the navy and the air force as the auxiliary. This will be beneficial to your Qinglong country."

Then, Qin Lin expressed his own views, such as building a large number of coastal defense artillery and mines in coastal cities, how to fight the United States on the Giant Lizard Island, and how to destroy the military bases built by the United States on the 300 islands in Qinghai. He talked about them in detail.

"For example, if the United States builds a military base and you bomb it, the logistical pressure on the United States will be great."

"It's hard."

"We wanted to bomb these military bases in the United States. Our navy was dispatched, but it didn't work. Our air force was dispatched, but it didn't work. As for the army, it was even more useless. So, the price we paid to bomb the military bases in the United States was very high."

“That’s not the case.”

Qin Lin smiled and said, "I came to Qinglong Country this time not to travel around, but to help you get rid of this military base of the United States."

At this point, the marshals of the various armies of Qinglong Kingdom suddenly brightened up, and they were looking forward to how His Majesty the Qin Emperor would help them get rid of the military base of the United States.

"Let me tell you."

Zhou Sheng continued, "After listening to Emperor Qin's inner thoughts, my eyes lit up and I saw hope. This idea of ​​using Giant Lizard Island as the main defense position is indeed the best way at the moment."

"We have 450 million Qinglong army troops and 150 million reserve troops. This should have been our advantage, but we just stood there helplessly during the six-month war, only sending out to troops. We failed to take advantage of the elite Qinglong army. If we had started the war on Giant Lizard Island and deployed a million troops, we would have been able to stun the United States."

"But it's not too late now," Zhou Sheng said. "Order the military to quickly withdraw the frontline troops. The armed forces will build the islands around the Giant Lizard Island into sea fortresses to form a sea island chain that will echo the Giant Lizard Island. The five major naval fleets will deploy defenses and start a war with the United States on the Giant Lizard Island."

"The Army Department mobilized a million elite troops to defend the Giant Lizard Island, and the Cabinet Department quickly evacuated the local people on the Giant Lizard Island."

"As for the naval military base of the United States, the Great Qin Empire donated 320 Red Arrow III missiles to our Qinglong country."

"what?"

"Hongjian III medium-range missile!!!"
