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

[On August 1728, 8 of the Blue Star Calendar, the United States announced that it would carry out a national military reform, cutting 12 million troops, setting up 300 army groups in the army, adding two new fleets to the fleet, a total of 30 fleets to defend the sea, and setting up 80 air teams in the air force.]

The military reform of the United States has caused some fluctuations around the world, because the military reform symbolizes that the United States has taken a step forward and its weapons and equipment have become more advanced.

In the first half of this year, the United States invested 50 billion U.S. dollars in the comprehensive improvement of light weapons and equipment, and 80 billion U.S. dollars in the comprehensive improvement of heavy weapons. In addition, the Blue Star Alliance developed the world's second main battle tank, named "Warhawk."

At the same time, major powers such as Tsarist Russia, Eagle Country, France, and even the Holy Free Federation and the Blue Dragon Country began to develop main battle tanks. Their main battle tanks were roughly heavy tanks that had been comprehensively optimized to reach a perfect state. Therefore, as long as a country can develop heavy tanks, it only needs to invest time and money to develop main battle tanks.

Not only that, in the second half of the year, the South Sea countries, mainly the Holy Free Federation and the Qinglong Kingdom, successfully tested missiles in the North Sea and successfully developed the world's third missile, the Holy Dragon.

The Blue Star Alliance was no exception. It upgraded the Angel Missile again and created the Angel D-class medium-range missile, which is considered the pinnacle of medium-range missiles.

The global military competition has begun in full swing. Seeing the emergence of advanced weapons and equipment, countries have begun to increase their investment in research and development. With an investment of more than tens of billions or hundreds of billions of funds, one advanced weapon and equipment after another has been successfully launched.

A year was spent in the global military competition. Faced with this global military competition, the Qin Empire had no interest in participating, because now the global military competition was imitating the Qin Empire's path, with main battle tanks, medium- and long-range missiles, missile destroyers, new aircraft carriers, new warships, submarines, light weapons, and jet fighters.

To be honest, in the process of catching up with the Qin Empire, all countries felt pressure, because the more manpower, material resources and financial resources they invested in catching up, the more they discovered how powerful the Qin Empire was.

This is also the driving force behind countries around the world, especially the United States, which has vigorously reorganized its economy and invested more than 200 billion US dollars in research and development each year. The same is true for major military industrial groups, which have concentrated high-end scientific research forces to accelerate the development of cutting-edge weapons and equipment.

It is worth mentioning that Tsarist Russia, which was next to the Qin Empire, had surpassed the United States in overall military strength due to several years of missions, and was comparable to the United States.

After all, the strength that this powerful country with an area of ​​more than 2000 million square kilometers can unleash when it fully develops is extraordinary.

Therefore, there are new changes in the global military strength rankings. It is divided into levels. Among them, there is only one super-level military power, which is the Qin Empire.

Next is the first-level power, there are three, namely the United States, Tsarist Russia, Eagle Country, the second-level power has four, namely the Holy Freedom Alliance, Qinglong Country, France, Saint Petersburg, the second-level military country has multiple, namely the Desert King Court, Sirius Empire, Greater Empire, Mayan Empire, South Vietnam (because South Vietnam annexed the four surrounding countries in this year, the country's area exceeded one million square kilometers, and the national armed forces exceeded 300 million.)

The rest are level three military states and weak level four military states. These level four military states are equivalent to the party-states in Black Africa and their strength is relatively average.

This military level division is also relatively accurate, because the global war has just ended, and the ratings based on the strength of each country are not too different. It's just that the super-first-level military power, the Qin Empire, is more eye-catching and stands out from the crowd, causing the other first-level and second-level military powers to desperately catch up.

Kyoto Holy Palace, Military Headquarters.

At this time, the commanders-in-chief of the five major military regions of the Great Qin Empire and the five major members of the military, namely Chief of General Staff Deng Wenzhong, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Military Yang Wenbing, Commander-in-Chief of the Army Yan Haokong, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Ding Luhai, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force Wang Feilong, and the commanders-in-chief of the five major military regions were all here, a total of nine senior members of the military were gathered together.

"With the help of our Great Qin Empire, Nanyue annexed the neighboring Wanfo Kingdom, Wanxiang Kingdom, Qiandan Kingdom, and Myanmar Kingdom in a year and a half," Qin Lin said, "Now it's time for our Great Qin Empire to seek justice for Academician Chen of our Great Qin Empire."

"Old Deng, tell us about the situation of these four countries and the current situation of South Vietnam."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Deng Wenzhong continued, "The specific situation of the four countries that Nanyue has annexed is as follows: Wanfo Kingdom, with a land area of ​​71 square kilometers and a population of about 3000 million. Vientiane Kingdom, with a land area of ​​43 square kilometers and a population of 260 million. Qiandan Kingdom, with a land area of ​​38 square kilometers and a population of 550 million. Myanmar Kingdom, with a land area of ​​87 square kilometers and a population of 2800 million."

"In addition," Deng Wenzhong continued, "at this time, the troops of South Vietnam are heading straight for the Black Country. The Black Country has a land area of ​​330 million square kilometers and a population of 3 million. At this time, more than half of it has been occupied by South Vietnam."

"The specific situation of South Vietnam now is that it is too big to shake off. As a small country, it has conquered a land area of ​​millions of square kilometers and fought against the Black Empire across three countries. Now the rear is empty of troops and logistics. It is the best time for us to send troops."

"The Nanyue Kingdom's actions were extremely excessive. In order to develop new weapons, they captured the scientific research academicians of our Great Qin Empire. If I hadn't dispatched the Intelligence Department to rescue them, I'm afraid that our Great Qin Empire would have lost a top scientific research academician."

Qin Lin said in a heavier tone, "That's why I set up a conspiracy to support Nanyue, so that Nanyue's ambitions can expand and Nanyue can annex the other surrounding countries. Then my Great Qin Empire will take action to resolve Nanyue. In this way, the problem of my Great Qin Empire's southern border will no longer exist. This can also be regarded as a benefit to future generations."

"I still say the same thing. If we fight the wars that will happen in ten or a hundred years, the future generations of our Great Qin Empire can enjoy peace. So we old guys will have to work harder. After all, the tradition of our Great Qin Empire is that each generation will serve the next."

"Your Majesty is right."

Zhang Beishan, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region, said excitedly, "I, Zhang Beishan, swear to follow Your Majesty until death."
