Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"The latest order from the Supreme Command has been issued."

"We only have three months."

"The war on the barbarian homeland must be ended within three months."

Hu Chengyi, commander of the Daqian Zhenguo Army's Special Task Force for the Expedition against the Barbarians, waved the telegram he had just received and casually placed it on the table for the others in the headquarters to read.

"The situation in Xiluo has changed, and we don't have much time left."

"Effective immediately, comprehensive channel control will be implemented on the battlefield in the Yi Kingdom."

"All reports on the battlefield in the barbarian lands must be reviewed by the legion's propaganda department before they can be published."

"The Supreme Command's order is very clear—don't have any reservations, just go for it!"

As he spoke, Hu Chengyi walked to the huge war sand table: "The Chief of Staff will not ask about the process, he will only look at our results."

"The fighting spirit of these barbarian people is even stronger than we imagined."

"Moreover, all sorts of suicide attacks have emerged one after another, causing a lot of trouble for our army."

"Since the General Headquarters has given us three months to resolve the battle, let's fight freely. There's nothing more to say."

"Activate 'Plowing' mode now!"

Hu Chengyi pointed to the battle sand table and said in a deep voice, "The command headquarters' operational requirement for us is to 'plow' every inch of land five times."

"Then let's do the 'plowing' seven or eight times!"

"At this rate of attack, won't the entire Yi Kingdom become a veritable 'land of ruins' in three months?"

Guo Quansheng, deputy commander of the Daqian Zhenguo Army's Special Task Force for the Expedition against the Barbarians, also walked to the battle sand table and sighed, "It's a pity, the barbarian countries' industrial base is still quite good."

"Destroying so many industrial facilities is truly a waste..."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Han Zhixing, chief of staff of the Daqian Zhenguo Army's Expeditionary Force, smiled. "The General Headquarters only gave us three months."

“Without adopting the ‘ruins’ tactics, it would be impossible to complete the order issued by the General Headquarters.”

"But it doesn't matter. These barbarian people always destroy everything they can before they leave."

"They never intended to leave these things to us."

"Instead of doing that, why not just do it all at once?"

"We don't need to rush to burn down the city when the barbarians retreat; we'll handle everything for them with our 'one-stop service'!"

Han Zhixing said with a relieved expression, "We were just having a meeting yesterday to discuss how to reduce troop casualties under the constant suicide attacks by the barbarians."

"Now it's all good, we don't need to discuss it anymore."

"With this kind of playing style, all problems are easily solved."

“Yes, with this tactic, taking over the Yi Kingdom’s mainland in three months shouldn’t be a problem.” Hu Chengyi nodded. “And it will also minimize our casualties.”

"Originally, the Supreme Command expected that we would suffer at least a million casualties on the battlefield in the foreign country."

"I think we definitely won't have to pay such a high price now."

Guo Quansheng smiled and said, "Yes! The only tricky problem is that the post-war cleanup and reconstruction of the entire Yi Kingdom battlefield will be an unimaginable undertaking."

“That’s true…” Han Zhixing shrugged: “It’s practically a complete rebuild.”

"At that time, just clearing the ruins of the entire Yi Kingdom's cities will be a super huge project."

"Just thinking about it gives me a headache."

"Moreover, this massive project will most likely require our legion to handle it..."

"Eighty percent?" Hu Chengyi shook his head: "Too little!"

"We can basically forget about this huge project."

"It's almost certain that our legion will have to handle this."

“With our fighting style, we’ve turned the entire Yi Kingdom into a ‘land of ruins’.”

"The scene was so tragic that it goes without saying."

"Whoever did it is responsible; we'll have to clean up this mess ourselves."

"This kind of project can only be done by ourselves."

"If we outsource to local companies, they'll be so scared they'll have nightmares all the time."

"This is also detrimental to the positive image of our Great Qian Zhenguo Army."

"Furthermore, why would the General Headquarters implement information control on the battlefield in the barbarian lands?"

Isn't the meaning obvious enough?

"That's true... Fine! We'll have to handle this massive project from start to finish..."

As he spoke, a hint of excitement flashed across Han Zhixing's face: "However, the thought of using the 'ruins' tactic on these barbarians makes me wonder if we should have an extra meal and a couple of drinks tonight to celebrate?"

"Adding more dishes is a must," Hu Chengyi smiled. "However, let's skip the wine."

"We must set an example and take the lead in observing the rules when it's not time to drink."

"Moreover, the countdown starts tomorrow, so we need to decide on the actions to be taken tomorrow today."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy; there is no room for carelessness..."

"After we finish this battle, we must have a full-scale celebration—we'll drink until we drop!"

-------------------------------------

The next morning at 9:30.

The Daqian Zhenguo army's ground offensive on the Yi Kingdom battlefield has come to a complete halt.

It's ten o'clock sharp.

Tens of thousands of aircraft from the Daqian side took off from various field airfields and flew to the nearest unoccupied areas.....................

In accordance with the orders issued by the Supreme Command, the Daqian Zhenguo Army's Special Task Force for the Expedition against the Barbarians formulated an operational plan called "Operation Plowing the Land" overnight.

The entire "Operation Plowing" operation plan was very simple and straightforward, or rather, simple and brutal.

That was basically the home ground of the Great Qian Air Force.

Ground troops are responsible for taking over and clearing the battlefield after the target city has been "plowed" into ruins.

Fuel-air explosives, cluster bombs, napalm bombs, and other "land-ploughing" weapons were continuously transported from the Great Qian Kingdom to the battlefield in the foreign lands.

The day "Operation Plowing the Land" was carried out.

An unprecedented "feast of white mist" unfolded within the territory of the Yi Kingdom.

The first day's "Operation Plow" mainly involved airdropping fuel-air explosives.

Moreover, in order to more reliably complete the three-month operational instructions from the Supreme Command, the Daqian Zhenguo Army's Expeditionary Force against the Yi people immediately gave them a strong dose of medicine!

The command of the Special Task Force for the Expedition against the Barbarians issued the following operational requirements to the air force to carry out "Operation Plowing the Land": on the first day of the operation, all tons of fuel-air bombs must be dropped on all target locations.

After careful consideration, Hu Chengyi and others decided that the minimum daily output should be 2 tons, with no upper limit!

Clearly, in order to carry out the orders of the Supreme Command, the entire Expeditionary Force Command was going all out.

There is no such thing as wasting anything; the only concern is that insufficient dosage might affect the overall strategic progress!

Therefore, Hu Chengyi ultimately decided—build as much as you want, there's no limit...................

From the first wave of bombing in "Operation Plowing the Land," the bombing of the Yi Kingdom by the Daqian Zhenguo Army could not be stopped and continued until the end of the three-month period!

In other words, the Daqian aircraft directly entered continuous operation mode.

They carried out bombing missions 24 hours a day without stopping.

In response to night bombing missions, a large number of Lancaster bombers, Halifax bombers, Mosquito bombers, and other night bombers, as well as night fighters, were deployed to the battlefield in the foreign country.

In this way, the Daqian Zhenguo Army has completely achieved its 24/7 operational objective.

The launch of "Operation Plowing the Land" also signified that the entire Yi Kingdom had entered its darkest hour........................

If the Western Luo Kingdoms knew the daily bomb consumption of the Great Qian Zhenguo Army's Expeditionary Force on the barbarian battlefields, they would be utterly astonished!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the fighting style of the Daqian Zhenguo Army on the battlefield against the barbarians.

Perhaps only the Daqian Zhenguo Army, which has been given a cheat code, could support this in the whole world!

Moreover, no one in the entire Western Luo world, including the Yi people, expected that the Great Qian Zhenguo army would act so ruthlessly on the Yi battlefield..................

Before this, no one could have imagined that the Daqian Zhenguo Army would actually turn the entire Yi Kingdom into a "ruinous country" as its ultimate operational objective against the Yi.

This is something even the most fervent and ambitious people couldn't possibly imagine...

It is foreseeable that after this battle, the Great Qian Zhenguo Army will perfectly help the barbarian people fulfill their "bold statement" of "rather die than live in dishonor"!

-------------------------------------

The main base of the barbarian kingdom.

"Everyone!"

"The Great Yi Empire has now entered its most difficult moment of life and death."

"The people of Qian have gone completely mad!"

"In the eyes of the people of Qianguo, international conventions have virtually no binding force."

"They are launching indiscriminate attacks against us."

"The aerial bombardment by the Qian Kingdom has continued for a week without stopping!"

"Whether it's day or night, we are being bombed by the Qian people every moment..."

"Every day, cities are reduced to ruins by the bombing of the Qian Kingdom!"

"At this rate of development, it won't be long before the entire Yi Kingdom is turned into a huge ruin by the Qian Kingdom..."

At this moment, the chief minister of the Yi Kingdom, Honno Yo, was in a state of utter despair.

The sudden "Plowing Operation" launched by the Daqian Zhenguo Army dealt a fatal blow to the entire Yi Kingdom headquarters.

For the first time, Honno Yo and the other high-ranking officials of the foreign country felt such despair!

Although "good news" has already come from Siro.

It is said that the Western Luo countries are discussing and planning in earnest to jointly confront the Daqian Zhenguo Army.

Moreover, there should be results soon.

The time is not far off for the Western Luo kingdoms to provide military support to the Shaluo and Yi kingdoms.

If they persevere for a little longer, their predicament will be fundamentally resolved by the military intervention of the Western Luo Kingdoms!

This good news once filled the Yi Kingdom's headquarters with hope for a comeback.

Honno Yo and the entire Yi Kingdom headquarters firmly believed that once a military alliance to encircle and annihilate Daqian was formed, it would be the moment of Daqian's Zhenguo Army's destruction.

According to intelligence obtained by the Yi people, the Western Luo states are expected to launch a full-scale military operation against the Qian state within three to four months.

In other words, if they can hold out for at most four more months, everything will turn around.

But surprises and unexpected events are always unpredictable.

Just two days after the Yi Kingdom's headquarters confirmed the good news that the Western Luo Kingdoms would intervene militarily to jointly suppress the Da Qian Zhenguo Army.

The Yi people's joy lasted only two days before they were met with the "Plowing Operation" of the Daqian Zhenguo army.

The fall from heaven to hell happens so quickly...

The people of the Yi Kingdom truly experienced a rollercoaster-like "thrill".

"We must prepare for the worst for the continuation of the Great Yi race."

The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive; apart from Honno Yo, the other high-ranking officials of the Yi Kingdom remained completely silent...

"Fortunately, the Imperial Navy evacuated in advance."

"Otherwise, the Imperial Navy would probably no longer exist..."

Despair was evident in Honno Yo's words: "The people of Qian are trying to wipe us out!"

"For the sake of the survival of the Great Yi race, the 'Doomsday Migration' plan can no longer be delayed."

"It must be done immediately!"

"Otherwise, the entire Great Yi race will be completely annihilated because of the Qian people......................."
