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

On April 4, less than ten days had passed, and the imperial court witnessed a scene of rapid change on the battlefield. In ten days, the situation changed drastically because of one action of the imperial court.

"The imperial court still has great influence!"

Yang Wenbin said to Qin Lin at the Bei'an Command Center, "The Han Army, the Wolf Army, and the Cao Army sent 65 troops to resist the Japs' Sixth Front Army. After the Japs took over Yuzhou, they rested for a few days and then began to send troops to the two lakes area, while the imperial army freed up troops to guard An'an Province. The four provinces of Dong Province, An'an Province, Changnan Province, and Fuxia Province form a line. It can be said that the imperial court is firmly in Jiangbei, without any worries!"

"uncertain."

Qin Lin pointed at the map and said, "The four provinces of the court are combined into one line, with nearly 200 million troops guarding it. It is indeed difficult to break through. After all, there are our Qin Army, Han Army, Cao Army, and Wolf Army to share the firepower. It is difficult for the Japanese army to break through the court's defense, but Shanglu is a troubled place. The court has no navy, and the Japanese navy is the best in Hanzhou. It is not impossible that they will open up a second battlefield!"

"If that's the case," Yang Wenbin said, "then the court is really flourishing!"

"Just wait and see," Qin Lin said after taking a sip of tea. "With the economic system of the East Asian country, once everyone becomes a soldier, 500 to 700 million troops can be raised, not to mention the rest. So, this is just the beginning, take your time!"

After that, Qin Lin turned his gaze towards the sand table and asked, "What is the current situation of the 7th Army?"

"We caught the Japanese off guard," Yang Wenbin said at the meeting. "We have started a major battle around the headquarters of the Japanese Third Front Army. We can say that we have surrounded the Japanese. As long as we win these four battles, the Japanese Third Front Army will be within our grasp."

"The 39th Army also began to launch a strong attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Taiyuan Province," Yang Wenbin continued, "and caught the Japanese off guard from Neiyuan Province. The 28-strong army will sweep the Japanese away and will soon be able to join the 7th Army."

"very good."

Qin Lin nodded and said, "We took the first step very steadily."

......

At the headquarters of the Third Front Army of the Japanese in Jincheng, the commander-in-chief General Tianchi had lost his previous high spirits because more than 20 Qin troops suddenly appeared around him. Who could be happy? The 37 troops on the front line were firmly pinned down by the th Army of the Qin Army. Once they were forced to retreat, the losses would be immeasurable!

The local garrison was pinned down by the 39th Army of the Qin Army, so it had no troops to deploy. How could it not panic?

"The Qin army has finally become a serious threat!"

Tianchi Jiangtai said, "Let the troops fight back, and then request support from the military. First mobilize the puppet troops to support, and then send the main army to support. We must eat up the Qin army in one go, and we can't let the Qin army develop further, otherwise it will become the strongest obstacle for my Great East Ocean Empire to take down the Great Qian Kingdom."

"Hi Yi!"

The adjutant quickly went to carry out Tenchi Shota's order.

Tianchi Jiangtai sat in the command chair and stared at the map. The purpose of the Qin army was very clear, which was to take down its front headquarters. There were only 100,000 troops stationed at its front headquarters. The Qin army sent more than 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress its general army headquarters. Now the front-line army was tied up again, and the local garrisons were also tied up, so they could only rely on the 100,000 troops at the headquarters to hold on until the military sent support troops.

"Your Excellency General."

The Chief of Staff said to Tianchi Shota, "The Qin army is coming with great force. According to intelligence, the Qin army has dispatched 600,000 to 700,000 troops this time. The army of our Great East Ocean Empire has fought with the Qin army dozens of times, and we have suffered the most casualties in each battle. This is an indisputable fact. Therefore, if we want to devour the 600,000 to 700,000 Qin army, the military must reinforce one of our fronts, but now the military has no troops to mobilize!"

"There are no troops to deploy!"

General Tianchi did some calculations in his heart. Their East Asian country has four major field armies, namely the Third Field Army, the Sixth Field Army, the Ninth Field Army, and the Eleventh Field Army, with a total of 150 million troops, and the established Qiannan General Army of 85, which makes a total of 235 million.

The total number of army soldiers in the East Asian country is 260 million. The Daqian country alone has deployed two major field armies, the Qiannan General Army, with nearly 170 million army soldiers. There are also two general armies invading other countries. They have a maximum of 25 army soldiers in the country. If the reserve division is included, it will not exceed 50.

"The troops are at their limit!"

These four words popped up from Tianchi Jiangtai's heart, which made Tianchi Jiangtai gradually calm down. As one of the drafters of the plan to invade Daqian Kingdom, he suddenly felt that the battle of Daqian Kingdom was not as simple as they thought. What about destroying Daqian Kingdom in half a year and sending out a million troops to sweep across Daqian Kingdom? Now it seems a bit ridiculous!

Scenes after scenes replayed in Tianchi Shota's mind, and Tianchi Shota discovered that the biggest change was the Qin Army in the Northwest!

If the Northwest Qin family had not been involved in the Shanglu War, they would not have been defeated so badly. In the northern battlefield, the Northwest Qin army wiped out more than 60,000 troops of the Third Front Army, disrupting their strategic deployment. The Qin army recruited hundreds of thousands of troops to return to the northwest, and now has an army of 600,000 to siege them.

"General," the chief of staff continued, "the Qin Army's flying units, tanks, armored units, and firepower configuration are not weaker than our Great East Ocean Empire. Even though the flying units are a little weaker, the fighter planes they purchased are all more advanced fighter planes from the United States. We are at a disadvantage in terms of performance, so this is one of the reasons why we are frequently defeated and lose air superiority!"

"Also, our strategies and tactics seem to be within the Qin family's expectations, but we don't know anything about their strategies and tactics."

"For example, during the siege of our headquarters, our Special High Technology Department and reconnaissance troops did not receive any news at all. Therefore, the Qin army's control over the northwest has reached an amazing level. They transported hundreds of thousands of troops to our rear area and to the gate of our general army headquarters before we discovered it! This is also the reason why we are frequently defeated. We must pay attention to it, otherwise we will lose this battle again."

Every word that Chief of Staff Daiki Akabane said awakened Shota Tenchi and made him begin to realize the current situation.

"There is a huge disparity in military strength, and our army is at a disadvantage," Tianchi Jiangtai stood up and said, "There is no hope for reinforcements, and our chances of winning are very small. In this case, if we want to preserve our strength, the only way is to give up Taiyuan Province and retreat to Yizhou Province?"

“This is the only way.”

Akabane Daiki said, "If we continue to fight the Qin army, according to the current situation, our army is surrounded and is already at a disadvantage. The result of fighting to the death is that our Third Front Army will suffer heavy losses and may even be annihilated by the Qin army!"

"Even the Qin army will pay a heavy price, but the final result will not change. The probability of our defeat is very high. We can only break through to Yizhou Province and join the local garrison, preserve our strength, and then slowly plan!"

"Such a major decision must be approved by the military. Otherwise, if we retreat without permission, we will be court-martialed!"

General Tianchi sighed and sat down helplessly. If he really gave up Taiyuan Province, it would have a great impact on the morale of his soldiers, which he did not want to see. So he still hoped that the military would send troops for support. Even if there were only a few hundred thousand puppet troops in Yizhou and local garrisons, he had the confidence to fight the Qin army!
