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

"Marshal Qin, I have long heard of your great name," a middle-aged man in brocade clothes in the reception room stood up and bowed, "Deputy Foreign Envoy, Lu Peng."

"I wonder why Deputy Envoy Lu has come all the way to our northwest?" Qin Lin went straight to the point. He didn't have the time to argue with people from the court.

"It is the major plan of the country and the livelihood of the people."

Lu Peng said, "The Eastern Kingdom's Qiannan General Army has 85 troops, the Third Front Army has 45 troops, and the Sixth Front Army was supposed to have only 37 troops. Later, a heavy armored division was added, and the force reached 40. In addition, the six major Japanese flying divisions were stationed in our Kyoto Airport and Liaobei Airport. The total number of Japanese troops in our Great Qian Kingdom has reached an astonishing 170 million."

"Adding the puppet army, the number of puppet troops has now reached 70, almost doubling. Now the Dongyang Kingdom's military strength has skyrocketed to 240 million this winter. When the winter is over and Dongyang Kingdom has gained a firm foothold, it will be the time to fully invade our Daqian Kingdom. That's why His Majesty asked me to travel thousands of miles to the northwest, hoping that the Qin family can jointly establish a second coalition with the court to resist foreign enemies."

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Qin Lin couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth. He waved his hand and said to Lu Peng, "I'm sorry, Deputy Envoy Lu, I really can't help it, I can't help it!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Peng's face looked a little ugly. As a third-rank minister of the court and deputy envoy of diplomacy, he was now insulted by a young boy. He was angry in his heart, but when he thought that the other party was the young commander of the Qin family, he endured it.

"Young Marshal Qin!"

Lu Peng said in a somewhat cold tone, "When the whole family is in chaos, there will be no weakness. If my court is defeated, your Qin family will not live long. So why not keep it as it is? At least at that time, Daqian Kingdom will still belong to us Han people, Daqian Kingdom, don't you think?"

"Deputy Envoy Lu."

Qin Lin put away his smile and said, "I want to say one thing today, that is, the court should not treat everyone as fools. This first coalition was formed by me, Qin Lin, and I. But how did your court do it? You used the hands of the East Asian country to destroy your own army. The Cao army is a bloody example. There are also the Hunan Army and the Wolf Army. Do you think I will cooperate with the court again?"

"My court had no such intention. It was just a strategic oversight. How can you blame my court for using the hands of the East Asian country to destroy friendly forces? Besides, my court also lost hundreds of thousands of troops. How can you explain this?"

"All right."

Qin Lin put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and said, "My Qin Army will not join the Second Joint War of Resistance, because I don't want to be a fool again. As for whether other forces join or not, that is their business and has nothing to do with my Qin family."

After saying that, Qin Lin shouted to the housekeeper, "Show the guests away."

"Oh, by the way," Qin Lin turned to Lu Peng and said, "Tell your little boy in yellow robe that I have accepted dozens of high-level spies he said were secret agents. Don't send such people to my northwest next time, otherwise I will let him know what it means to be rude if you don't return the favor!"

"Damn it!"

Looking at Qin Lin's elegant back, Lu Peng clenched his fists. He could imagine that these local forces did not fear the imperial court and did not respect the imperial court, but he did not expect that they would address His Majesty as "the little boy in yellow robe". It was really treasonous!

"Deputy Envoy Lu, let's go!"

The butler said to Lu Peng, "We have bought five train tickets for you, directly to Jinling."

"you!"

Lu Peng wanted to lose his temper, but when he thought about what would happen if the Qin family got angry and buried him alive, he suddenly became speechless. He just shook his sleeves and left. He wanted to report all of Qin Lin's actions to His Majesty to let His Majesty see how these traitors and villains did not take the court seriously.

Qin Lin didn't know what Lu Peng was thinking, nor did he want to know. He went to Qin Yuanzhong's office and told him his grand strategy in full.

"The core of your strategy is to let the imperial court and the devils consume each other's energy. When the imperial court is defeated, we will take the opportunity to send troops to fight the devils, and then take over the territories lost by the imperial court, or the territories that the imperial court 'does not want', and our Qin army will quickly occupy them?"

"Yes."

Qin Lin nodded and said, "The Northwest is too remote after all. If we want to build a force that can truly compete with the great powers and the Eastern countries, we can't just rely on the resources of the Northwest for development. This is too slow. We have to fight to support the war and expand the territory. If we take back the territory lost by the court, then we can achieve three goals at once: win the hearts of the people, gain territory, and gain resources."

"You kid, you never stop talking until you're done shocking people!"

Qin Yuanzhong thought for a while, and in his mind he was also deducing the grand strategy that his son had described. To be honest, the more he deduced, the more surprised he was, because he found that the country seemed to be about to be unified, the imperial court had been destroyed by the East Yang Kingdom, and the forces of all parties were insignificant. It seemed that his Qin family had become the most powerful force in the Daqian Kingdom, occupying most of the Daqian Kingdom, and the East Yang Kingdom had become a grasshopper in autumn, and would not be able to jump for much longer.

"Boy, isn't this too idealistic?"

Qin Yuanzhong suddenly reacted and said, "According to your strategic deduction, my Qin family will be able to unify the Daqian Kingdom in three years, and defeat the Dongyang Kingdom in four years at most!"

"What's the problem?"

Qin Lin said, "Our Northwest industry ranks first in the country, far ahead, and has 125 million regular troops. These 125 million regular troops are now undergoing special training, and in three months they will become 125 million Qin Army elite soldiers. You should know that more than half of our 125 million soldiers are literate soldiers, and there are also many top students with extraordinary combat effectiveness. If we integrate our Qin Army philosophy and soldier training manuals, plus our Northwest's powerful military merit system, we can unify the Daqian Kingdom within three years and defeat the Dongyang Kingdom within four years. Is there any problem?"

"We fight to support the enemy. As long as we capture a piece of land, the strength of our Northwest Qin Army will surge. In this way, defeating the Dongyang Kingdom and unifying the Daqian Kingdom is a sure thing in my opinion."

"You kid, you have been so confident since you were young."

Qin Yuanzhong smiled and said, "If that's the case, and you think it's feasible, then let's arrange it this way!"

After saying that, Qin Yuanzhong asked his secretary to make a phone call and summoned the senior commanders of the four major army groups and the senior officers of the 7th Army, a total of 20 generals, to the Inspector General's Mansion for a meeting to discuss the specific implementation plan for this grand strategy on the table.

"Hahaha."

Commander Guan Qirui of the 29th Army Group laughed and said, "It has to be our young marshal. It's time for this million-strong army in the northwest to show its fangs."

"But the special training has not yet ended, and the coverage of weapons and equipment is still a little short."

Wu Xingde, the chief of staff of the Qin army, said, "The implementation of this grand strategy is very high. Once this strategic deployment is completed, we will be able to become the only force in Daqian and defeat the Dongyang Kingdom. But we can't rush it. We have to take steady steps. If we can win quickly, we will win quickly. If we can't win quickly, we will win steadily."

"Yes."

Su Jianzhong, deputy commander of the Qin Army, said, "So, when winter is over, our Qin Army soldiers have finished their training, and the weapons coverage rate reaches 100%, we can start to implement this grand strategic deployment map. What do you think? Of course, the premise is to see whether the court will really do this."

"I see no problem."

Qin Yuanzhong said, "Then let's do this. Since this strategy was thought up by Lin Er, he should be the one to implement it. Now I will appoint Qin Lin as the strategic commander-in-chief to lead the Qin army and complete this strategic combat plan."

"We swear to follow the young commander until death, and we will absolutely obey the orders of the commander-in-chief!"
