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

"In fact, there is no need to worry too much," Qin Lin said, "It is the most difficult to go from zero to one. We have paved a way, and those behind us will be able to catch up. This is inevitable, it is just sooner or later. Now that the Blue Star Alliance can develop it, this time is within our expectations."

"Besides, wars are now fought with technology, economy and resources. The cost of a large-scale battle now is enough to last for a year, or even two or three years."

"Take this missile battle for example," Qin Lin said after taking a sip of tea, "the alliance army launched 200 angel long-range missiles, each costing 230 million US dollars. 200 missiles is 4.6 million US dollars, which is 9.2 million star coins. Think about it, the annual fiscal revenue of the Great Qin Empire used to be this much, but now in less than a day, the funds consumed are as high as 9.2 million."

"On the other hand, we launched 1100 interceptor missiles. The cost of a single interceptor missile is 35 star coins. The interception fee consumed this time is as high as 3.85 million star coins. With other expenses, it is no less than million. The total cost of both sides in one day alone is more than billion. So, now the war is fought with money, resources, and technology."

"Your Majesty is right."

Yang Wenbin agreed, "Why can the Great Qin Empire fight against an alliance with its own strength? The reason is that we have sufficient money and top-notch technology. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to withstand the 2000 million troops that came directly at us without any need to fight."

"so."

Qin Lin looked at the people in front of him and said, "Now, we don't need to take the initiative to attack. We can just drag it out and kill the Blue Star Alliance. The current international oil price is 1880 star coins per barrel. The price will be higher in the local area, but no matter how high the price is, countries like the Blue Star Alliance will have to buy it."

"In the past two days, the sales volume of the oil industry under my Dongsheng Group has dropped rapidly. The sales volume in two days is 110 million barrels, but the price of one barrel is 1880 star coins. The oil revenue in these two days is as high as more than 20 billion. As for the consumption of mining and refining, it can be ignored at the price of 1880 star coins per barrel."

"Adding the share of Hanzhong, a major oil producer, our revenue from oil in the past two days has reached more than 50 billion. It has reached more than 50 billion in just two days. This is when all countries have stocks. If the stocks are used up, then our oil sales will skyrocket."

"And oil is only one aspect. Not to mention other commodities, except for the automotive sector, the money earned from the export of goods in our Great Qin Empire is beyond your imagination. This year, the fiscal revenue of our Great Qin Empire will set a world precedent."

"It seems," Deng Wenzhong said, "the war now is completely different from what we imagined back then. War now is not just war. In invisible places, war has actually become a means of profiteering. For example, for my Great Qin Empire, war can bring us five or ten times more income than before, so war is beneficial to us."

"You're right."

Qin Lin said, "To put it another way, the current war is to promote consumption and raise prices globally. It is a game of redistributing the pie. Whoever wins this game will get more of the pie. The more pie they get, the more benefits they will naturally gain."

"okay."

Qin Lin looked at the map in front of him and said, "I heard that the alliance army sent out six naval fleets to blockade our Great Qin Empire's waters. In this case, we should send out the Qianhai Fleet to play with these six naval fleets, walk the dog, oh no, walk the six navies of the alliance army. Even if we don't fight, we have to use up all the fuel inside them, so that they can spend a lot of money to purchase oil from us, right?"

"Hahaha."

......

In the East China Sea, the Qianhai Fleet began to set off urgently after receiving the order. After three upgrades and renovations, the Qianhai Fleet has changed a lot and is very different from before.

Today, after three renovations and upgrades, the Qianhai Fleet has the same number of warships as the other four fleets, reaching an astonishing 56.

Among them, the 56 warships include three large aircraft carriers, named "Dahan" class aircraft carriers, with a full load displacement of 8.17 tons, a total length of 323.6 meters, a range of 1.2 nautical miles, and weapons equipped with three eight-unit ship-to-air missile launchers and four six-tube 3mm "CIWS" close-in weapon systems.

There are also carrier-based aircraft, including 30 carrier-based fighters, 12 carrier-based bombers, 6 carrier-based tankers, 6 carrier-based early warning aircraft, and 18 carrier-based armed helicopters, totaling 70 aircraft of various types.

It is worth mentioning that the Han-class aircraft carrier can store 7800 tons of ship fuel, 6000 tons of aviation fuel, 1800 tons of aviation weapons and ammunition, and 1200 tons of ship weapons and ammunition. It has a continuous combat capability of half a month and its internal living facilities are very complete.

The five major fleets of the Qin Empire own 15 of these large aircraft carriers, each of which costs 12 billion star coins, making it one of the most expensive warships in the world.

Of course, in addition to the "Han" class aircraft carrier, the Qin Empire also has a super aircraft carrier of more than 10 tons, the "Tang" class aircraft carrier, which is equipped for each of the five fleets, with one aircraft carrier.

In addition, there are two medium-sized aircraft carriers. The entire Qianhai Fleet is equipped with one super-large aircraft carrier, three large aircraft carriers, and two medium-sized aircraft carriers, for a total of six aircraft carriers.

Next are the missile destroyers, which include 8 Changnan-class 12-ton destroyers and 20 Hanwu-class -ton destroyers, for a total of missile destroyers.

Next are the frigates, including 20 multifunctional frigates capable of carrying various types of missiles, radars, air defense, anti-missile, anti-ship, anti-submarine, etc., which cooperate with aircraft carriers, missile destroyers, and submarines to form an all-round maritime battle group.

Finally, there are submarines. Ten advanced submarines form such a powerful dry sea fleet.

There are a total of 5 naval soldiers serving in the entire Qianhai Fleet. The fleet captain is Ding Wenchang, the son of Navy Commander-in-Chief Ding Luhai. He is one of the new naval generals and is known as one of the Navy's eight new stars. He has top naval command level and skilled practical experience. He serves as the fleet commander-in-chief with the rank of lieutenant general.

Ding Wenchang, who had received the mission, set out with the Qianhai Fleet. Their target was the six hostile naval fleets roaming in the East China Sea. These six naval fleets had blocked off the entire sea area in the East China Sea. The instructions given were "Operation Dog Walking".
