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

At the end of November, the Qinglong Kingdom withdrew all its front-line troops. The five major naval fleets, as well as the air force and army forces, abandoned all islands and retreated to the Giant Lizard Island.

On the Monitor Lizard Island, the Qinglong Kingdom built a defense line that is 188 kilometers long and 13 kilometers wide. It also has underground air force bases, naval bases and other military buildings, with very complete military facilities. This is one of the reasons why Qin Lin asked the Qinglong Kingdom to choose the Monitor Lizard Island as a defensive fortress.

"Brother Qin."

After getting to know Qin Lin for a few days, Zhou Sheng and Qin Lin began to call each other brothers.

"Take a look at the construction of Wenyu Island." Zhou Sheng pointed at the firepower deployment in front of him and said, "There are 50 coastal defense guns with a range of up to 45 kilometers and a caliber of 460 mm. The surrounding area is completely wrapped in cement, and the defense is amazing. There are also 88 anti-aircraft guns, plus an infantry brigade stationed here."

"very good."

Qin Lin inspected the area and said, "There are sixty-eight small islands like this around the Giant Lizard Island. These small islands alone can cause great trouble to the United States."

"Of course," Zhou Sheng nodded. "There are 2,000 coastal defense guns on these 68 islands. Fortunately, Brother Qin, your Great Qin Empire has provided us with 1,000 coastal defense guns. Otherwise, our Qinglong Country really wouldn't be able to provide so many coastal defense guns all at once. There are also more than 3,000 anti-aircraft guns, which will definitely bring a strong obstacle to the United States."

"How is the construction of Monitor Lizard Island going?" Qin Lin asked.

"There are complete defenses on the Giant Lizard Island. Over the past thirty years, our Qinglong Nation has invested tens of millions of dollars every year to strengthen the defenses of the Giant Lizard Island. Now that the army of 180 million has been added to the defenses, the Giant Lizard Island is a huge war machine, waiting for the arrival of the U.S. Army."

After the inspection, Zhou Sheng took Qin Lin back to Xiacheng, the capital of Qinglong Kingdom, and began to visit this international metropolis in Xiacheng. He also inspected other cities in Qinglong Kingdom to understand the national conditions of Qinglong Kingdom, which would be more conducive to cooperation between the two countries.

During the inspection, the situation on the front line also underwent tremendous changes. After Qinglong Country gave up the 300 islands in Qinghai, the United States quickly seized these islands and began to build air force bases, naval bases, and army bases on these islands. It also began to transport large numbers of army troops to the 300 islands in Qinghai.

After transporting nearly one million troops, the United States began to attack the Giant Lizard Island.

Three main fleets were dispatched, with hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of air force fighter planes. They were coming with great momentum and were determined to capture the Monitor Lizard Island in one fell swoop.

but!

Under the blocking of 2,000 coastal defense guns, the interception of 3,000 anti-aircraft guns, and the attack of Qinglong's main fleet, the three main fleets of the United States and the thousands of fighter planes dispatched suffered heavy losses. The fighting around the island was very fierce, but in less than a day, the United States army was forced to retreat quickly.

"Won!"

The commanders of the Qinglong Army looked at the casualty ratio. The United States lost six warships, 101 fighter planes, and more than 30,000 soldiers, while their Qinglong country only lost a few coastal defense guns and anti-aircraft guns. None of the warships were damaged, and the loss of soldiers was less than 3,000. The casualty ratio with the United States was ten to one, which was simply terrifying.

"Damn, this battle was such a joy!"

Navy Marshal Xia Yingzong shouted, "The three main fleets of the United States were hit by the firepower of our island's coastal defense artillery and had no power to fight back. The main fleet of our navy suddenly rushed out from the flank and killed the main fleet of the United States by surprise. In a row, four 10,000-ton warships of the United States were destroyed. Four of them!"

"Old Xia!"

The Field Marshal said, "So, it's still your command level that's not good enough. The Emperor Qin just said a few words and killed more than 30,000 soldiers of the United States and sank six main warships of the United States. Your navy said this and that before, I think it's your navy that's not good enough."

"fart!"

Hearing this, Xia Yingzong immediately shouted in displeasure, "When your army comes on the field, we'll see how good you are."

"Okay, stop arguing."

The Air Force Marshal spoke up to stop them, "Since the United States has been defeated and withdrawn its troops, the next attack will surely be even more fierce, so we cannot be careless and must be ready to prepare for the next strong attack from the United States at any time."

Under the deployment of the three army marshals, the army of the United States came again, and this time was no exception, and was repelled by the Qinglong Kingdom.

The U.S. army became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and finally dispatched seven main fleets and nearly three hundred warships to attack the Monitor Lizard Island. They began to eliminate the small islands around the Monitor Lizard Island one by one, using gunpowder to raze these small islands to the ground.

Thousands of tons of gunpowder began to pour down. On Wenyu Island, the United States dropped 1200 aerial bombs, 4880 naval artillery shells, 1900 howitzer shells, and 7700 rocket shells. In total, tens of thousands of shells were fired on this small island with an area of ​​only 88 square kilometers, plowing the entire island from top to bottom.

However, there are sixty-seven small islands like Wenyu Island around the Giant Lizard Island. It took the United States a month or so just to remove these small islands, and the ammunition consumption reached an astronomical figure.

Rocket launchers and howitzers alone consumed 58 rounds, naval guns fired 18 rounds, and aerial bombs dropped 8 rounds. The total amount of ammunition fired was as high as 39 tons, which finally destroyed all the small islands around Monitor Lizard Island.

From this we can see how powerful the military strength of the United States is. However, in order to destroy these islands, the United States also consumed too much energy, losing more than 8 personnel and 7 warships, causing serious losses to the United States.

"Next, attack with all your strength."

The military of the United States issued an order to gather all its strength to attack the mainland of Qinglong Kingdom. Now, of the 8 islands of Qinglong Kingdom in Qinghai, only one Giant Lizard Island remains. This Giant Lizard Island can actually be said to be the mainland of Qinglong Kingdom, because the area of ​​this island is as high as square kilometers and the terrain resembles a lizard, so it is called Giant Lizard Island.

After the order was issued by the Citigroup military, the front-line troops began to move out. One million ground forces have been transported to 300 islands in Qinghai. Army, navy and air force bases have been built on dozens of islands, as well as logistics and food storage bases to continuously supply supplies to the one million troops on the front line.

When all these were ready, seven of the nine naval fleets of the United States were dispatched to launch a full-scale attack on the Giant Lizard Island, which had lost the defenses of sixty-eight islands.
