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

At the Chengbei headquarters, the four major war zones were at war, and the headquarters was naturally very busy. The logistics director came to Song Guoan and said, "Commander-in-chief, the consumption of ammunition is too high, and we can't afford it at all!"

"Can't afford it?"

Song Guoan frowned and said, "The two major arsenals and the Ministry of Industry have a combined monthly output of 1900 million bullets. You tell me you can't afford it?"

"Commander-in-chief, this consumption is far beyond your imagination."

The logistics minister said with a bitter face, "In the past half month on the front line alone, we have consumed 680 million rounds of bullets, of which 280 million rounds were fired in the Third War Zone alone. Their throughput is too strong. Now they are applying for another 500 million rounds of bullets. What about me?"

"Give."

Song Guoan said, "If we don't give them ammunition, how can we fight this war? Are we going to throw stones at them? The three war zones are defending a 33-kilometer front line against more than 30 Japanese troops. The pressure is very high. The Battle of Jincheng annihilated more than 5000 Japanese troops, which is the first major victory since the expedition. If we don't give them ammunition at this time, it will be cursed by the people!"

"My commander-in-chief, I know this, but it's not enough!"

The logistics minister said, "I still have 1800 million rounds of ammunition. The First War Zone has requested 500 million rounds, and the Fourth War Zone has requested 500 million rounds. They need to wipe out the devils in the Yingnan area, so they will be given priority. The Second War Zone has requested 600 million rounds. They need to contain the Sixth Front Army of the Japanese Empire, so they also need priority supply. This leaves only 200 million rounds of ammunition."

"Don't think I'm old and confused!"

Song Guoan shouted, "There are at least 8000 million rounds of bullets in the imperial arsenal. Let the Ministry of Industry use them all to support the war on the front line. If the lack of ammunition affects the layout of this major battle, then you and I will die!"

"When you write to His Majesty, just say that it was I who said it."

"no need."

Foreign Minister Lei He walked into the headquarters and said, "This is what your majesty meant. If we follow this consumption, the ammunition consumption alone will cost a million silver dollars a month, which will bankrupt the court. Therefore, we must let all major forces jointly bear the consumption of ammunition. Our court can send out special trains to transport the ammunition to the front line for them."

"What's your idea?"

Song Guoan frowned and said, "I said, you can make plans, but you can't affect the battle situation on the front line. You have crossed the line!"

"The treasury is empty," Lei He said, "We owe 2 million yuan in foreign debt to equip your new army with German weapons. Now the inspectors of more than a dozen provinces refuse to pay taxes. Our tax revenue has been reduced by more than half, and we can only supply our internal operations. If we supply the consumption of more than 160 million troops on the front line, the court will be defeated, so we must let the major forces provide their own supplies."

"Then at least the ammunition consumed this month should be supplied to the troops on the front line, right?"

Song Guoan sighed, "If we win this battle, we will be able to effectively prevent the Japanese from advancing into Kyoto. If any accidents occur, Kyoto will become the territory of the Eastern Kingdom, so I hope you can tell His Majesty to weigh the pros and cons!"

"You just need to do your duty as a subject!"

Lei He said dissatisfiedly, "As for the issue of supplies, the court has already discussed it with several major forces. Marshal Song, you don't need to worry about it. Just command the troops to fight!"

Watching the Minister of Logistics and Lei He leave the headquarters, Song Guoan was so angry that he almost vomited blood! No one knows the importance of this battle. Once it fails, the door to Daqian will be opened, and Dongyang's million-strong army will be able to push all the way, and Daqian will be in danger!

But these people are still scheming and trying to sabotage the united war of resistance. As long as the united war of resistance breaks down, the first force to be destroyed by the Japanese will be the imperial court!

"Your Majesty, you are confused!"

Song Guoan slammed the table and cried out in pain, their Majesty was a man of great talent and strategy, but one bad thing was that he was very suspicious, which was a shortcoming of most emperors. Another thing was that he was easily convinced by the words of his trusted ministers. His previous trusted minister was Cao Beiwang, and there were naturally many benefits in listening to him. But now that Cao Beiwang was gone, his trusted minister was the powerful minister Qin Hui, who served as the Prime Minister and the Prince's Grand Tutor!

"Brother Cao!"

Song Guoan shook his head and shouted, "This is all I can do, eh!"

This sigh seemed to have aged him ten years. Before, he and Cao Beiwang cooperated with each other, one in charge of external affairs and the other in charge of internal affairs. They cooperated with each other. He trained the army in Meng Province, and Cao Beiwang suppressed the local areas with 60 new troops, allowing the fire of the court to continue. Their next plan was to build 120 million new troops, one person would go out to sweep the local areas, and the other would suppress the central dynasty, making this court a new look. The key point was the holy fire, but man could not defeat God after all!

"Old He."

Song Guoan said to the Chief of Staff He Chengji, "Let the First and Fourth War Zones speed up their pace and try to wipe out these devils in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, there may be changes within the court, and this battle will be difficult to fight!"

......

At the Jincheng Command Headquarters, Yang Wenbin's shouting was heard from inside, but no one knew who had made the political commissar unhappy again.

"Damn the imperial court. They stopped providing us with ammunition after only half a month of fighting. What did they say before? All the ammunition consumed on the front lines would be supplied by the imperial court. But now what's going on!"

"Since the imperial court has no moral principles, then we don't need to be polite!"

Yang Wenbin pointed at Daye Town and said, "Three Japanese tank brigades are pushing across the front-line positions. Tell Chang Xingwang to let these Japanese tank brigades pass through the defense zone."

"I think so."

Deng Wenzhong said, "We held out for five days and defeated the Japanese three times. This was very costly. Since the imperial court won't give us ammunition, then we can just implement this furnace refining plan."

At this time, Qin Lin closed his eyes and was thinking, and everyone was waiting for Qin Lin's orders.

"Let the war correspondents record and publicize it," Qin Lin said. "The fire hasn't started yet. If a large number of devils enter the south of the camp at this time, be careful of the furnace explosion, so we still have to resist. As for the ammunition, let the court use trains to transport it from the northwest to us. I believe they will be happy to do so. But the Propaganda Department must let the people of the whole country know that the court is not trustworthy and is undermining the joint war of resistance. Also, we must publicize our achievements during this period."

"The war of resistance is a big deal after all," Qin Lin continued. "We must unite against the enemy. I don't care what the court does, but we cannot let down the expectations of the people of Daqian. Of course, we must protect ourselves and not be cheated by the court!"

"As for the furnace refining plan," Qin Lin suddenly opened his eyes and said, "We will hold out for another 20 days, and then let the Japanese through in batches. I believe that after 20 days, the First and Fourth War Zones will be able to gain a firm foothold and eliminate many Japanese. Then we can add more fuel, so that the furnace will not explode!"
