Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

Within Youzhou territory—Youdu, the military governor's mansion.

"There are probably only a handful of people in the entire Great Qian Dynasty who have two gold stars on their shoulders at the age of twenty-something, right?"

One of a kind!

Ge Daqiang flattered him earnestly: "Your title of Lieutenant General Division Commander is officially registered with the Imperial Military Affairs Department. Lieutenant General Division Commander, Governor of a Province, you are the only one like that in the entire Great Qian Empire!"

"Adding another star would make it even more fitting..."

"That's only a matter of time!" Shen Moshen confidently straightened his collar: "The Empire's youngest general..."

"Hmm! That does sound good."

Shen Moshen smiled and said, "For the past two years, we have focused wholeheartedly on our work in Youzhou and strived to make Youzhou an ideal rear base as soon as possible."

Seeing that the food was already laid out, Ge Daqiang quickly and considerately reminded him, "General, lunch is served."

"Okay! Let's eat and chat..."

Shen Moshen had already devised a detailed plan for his path to domination.

Becoming the military governor of Youzhou was only the first step in the struggle for supremacy.

Now, Shen Moshen has taken this first step, and he did so cleanly and decisively, without any hesitation or delay.

After taking the first step, the second step is to "make a fortune in silence"—with the support of the system, transform what others see as a remote and barren land into the place where the Youzhou Army rises!

It should be noted that the total territory of the Great Qian Empire in this world is as high as 3000 million square kilometers.

Among the thirty-six provinces of the Great Qian Empire, Youzhou Province was relatively small in area, only 1,000 square kilometers.

However, "small" here refers only to the vast Great Qian Empire.

A very intuitive comparison is that during World War II, the territory of Country D was even tens of thousands of square kilometers smaller than the area of ​​Youzhou Province.

Therefore, if the system can be used to transform Youzhou Province into an industrial and energy base comparable to that of the great powers, the Youzhou army can definitely rise to prominence!

At that time, unifying the Great Qian Empire will not be a difficult task for the Youzhou army...

Shen Moshen, who became the military governor of Youzhou, was very fulfilled every day as he pursued this goal.

After unlocking the [Daily Tasks] feature, the system will refresh the daily tasks every day.

Shen Moshen naturally wanted to use every penny he could to get his hands on the rewards.

After all, resource sites, various factories, and other durable, high-value items are quite expensive to obtain in the system's exchange shop, requiring a significant amount of mission points.

If you want to quickly transform Youzhou Province into an ideal place for rise, purchasing and obtaining this type of finished item is naturally the most efficient way.

Therefore, Shen Moshen is now focused solely on finding ways to farm mission points.

It's no exaggeration to say that Shen Moshen, the military governor of Youzhou, was truly busy every day, like a grandson.

Therefore, Shen Moshen directly refused the offer of women to his door—women would only slow down my ability to draw my sword!

I'm so tired from working all day, I don't have time to indulge in romance.

It's not that Shen Moshen is indifferent to women.

Without a doubt—in this respect, Shen Moshen is absolutely a perfectly normal, pure man.

Isn't there a saying that goes like this?

Every man who is still breathing is a womanizer.

Shen Moshen was the same.

However, Shen Moshen, who is busy with his grand ambition of conquering the world, is currently at a critical stage in his career.

These days, even meals are mostly eaten while discussing business; I simply don't have the energy to attract any romantic attention...

Besides, once I've completed my conquest, there'll be plenty of time to make up for it, won't there?

"General, as per your instructions, all local armed forces within Youzhou have essentially completed their reorganization."

"The recruitment of new soldiers is also progressing steadily."

"All new recruits are recruited strictly in accordance with the recruitment standards of the Youzhou Army, ensuring the quality of the Youzhou Army's soldiers from the source."

While having lunch with Shen Moshen, Ge Daqiang reported on the progress of official business.

"Well, the efficiency is acceptable; at least it meets expectations."

Shen Moshen emphasized, "This must be arranged—our Youzhou army is following the elite force route."

"First of all, we must be strict with the standards for recruits."

"We need quantity, but we must also focus on quality. We absolutely cannot be like other warlord armies—accepting anyone from twelve or thirteen-year-old brats to fifty or sixty-year-old old men!"

Speaking of this chaotic situation, Shen Moshen couldn't help but complain, "Even if it's about conscripting men, shouldn't you at least pick the strongest ones?"

"General, you can rest assured about this issue. Such a phenomenon will absolutely not occur in the recruitment of our Youzhou army."

"That's good."

"By the way, while actively developing military capabilities, we must also pay attention to people's livelihoods."

While drinking his soup, Shen Moshen said, "Never underestimate the power of public opinion."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

"We must understand this principle."

"General, ever since you made the decision to wipe out all those unscrupulous landlords and gentry in Youzhou, the people of Youzhou have been clamoring every day that General Shen has brought them a better life..."

"The commander-in-chief now holds an absolutely unparalleled position in the hearts of the people of Youzhou!"

"Then you'd better think about it carefully for me."

"Let's see if there are any other good measures that can quickly help improve public morale," Shen Moshen casually suggested.

Shen Moshen has completed 29 missions in the "Popular Will" series.

Shen Moshen is currently stuck at [Popular Support 30].

The reward for the "Popular Support 30" mission is incredibly generous—a "Welfare Edition Pharmaceutical Industry Gift Pack".

Just from the item's name, you can tell this reward is sure to be a surprise!

Whether the pharmaceutical industry can keep up is also an important factor that can influence the course of the war.

So when Shen Moshen saw the reward for the "Popular Support 30" task, his eyes widened in amazement!

We have to get it done as soon as possible, no matter what...

Under Shen Moshen's leadership, Youzhou is now bustling with activity—everyone is engaged in development!

Build roads, build bridges, and set up factories.

"Everyone has food to eat, everyone has something to do, and together we will build a better Youzhou" is the slogan that Shen Moshen personally shouted for everyone.

We focus on both people's livelihood and military affairs, aiming for comprehensive development.

Speaking of which, the thing that Shen Moshen is most satisfied with about this system is that its existence is justified!

Within Shen Moshen's sphere of influence, he no longer needed to rack his brains for explanations regarding the sudden deployment of props such as factories.

These systems have already solved everything for you.

Under the systematic arrangement, the local people will form a reasonable and vague memory of the suddenly appearing arsenals, steel mills and other industries.

In short—it won't cause the host any trouble or worry about these things!
