Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"Colonel Yao, I am Augustus Boude, a reporter from United Weekly."

“I have a question – if the military actions taken by the Daqian Zhenguo Army against Puwa, Tongluo, Hewa, Dantu, Jiala, and Ganla were for the purpose of avenging the people of Daqian.”

"Then I would like to ask—what is the explanation for the military actions taken by the Daqian Zhenguo Army against Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa?"

"There are reports that several naval fleets of the Daqian Zhenguo Army are moving towards Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa."

"All indications suggest that the Daqian Zhenguo Army plans to take military action against Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa."

Augustus Boude, who asked the question, then added: "What I just said has been confirmed by the relevant intelligence agencies in the Western Route."

"Therefore, there is no problem with the source and reliability of this information."

"I don't think Colonel Yao would deny the veracity of this news, would he?"

"It seems that the intelligence work of the Western Luo Kingdoms is quite good."

Yao Yuanwu smiled and made no attempt to hide anything: "That's right, the Daqian Zhenguo Army does have such a combat plan."

"There's nothing to hide."

"However, as I said before, all military actions of the Daqian Zhenguo Army must have a reason."

"Our intelligence agencies have confirmed that a large number of remnants of the Yi Kingdom are lurking in Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa."

"Moreover, they are the armed remnants of a foreign country."

Yao Yuanwu emphasized: "According to the intelligence we have, the remnants of the Yi Kingdom's armed forces, who are lurking in the territories of Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa, are planning a military attack against Daqian."

"We have reason to believe that the remnants of the Yi Kingdom's armed forces lurking in Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa have posed a serious threat to the national security of Daqian."

"Furthermore, the presence of these armed men constantly threatens the safety of merchants from the Great Qian Dynasty."

"This also poses a huge threat to the maritime trade and transportation environment in the waters of Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Posa."

"Therefore, the Daqian Zhenguo Army, considering the need to combat the remnants of the foreign armed forces and to safeguard the security of regional maritime trade routes, decided to dispatch a naval fleet to eliminate the threat."

As he spoke, Yao Yuanwu added casually, "By the way, besides the reasons I just mentioned..."

"Another very important reason that forced our Great Qian Zhenguo Army to take corresponding 'rescue' actions against Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa?"

"Rescue operation?" Upon hearing Yao Yuanwu's choice of words, a reporter from Xiluo immediately raised a question.

"That's right, it's a rescue operation—a military rescue operation!"

Yao Yuanwu nodded solemnly: "Not long ago, envoys from the four kingdoms of Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa secretly arrived in the capital."

"General Shen personally received the envoys from the four countries and accepted their requests for assistance."

"As you all probably know, the countries of Qianzhou, including Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa, have always been vassal states of our Great Qian."

“They have always regarded our Great Qian as their suzerain state, and the kings of these countries were all appointed by our Great Qian.”

"Until one day, the arrival of a group of Western bandits forcibly changed everything."

"Under the manipulation of the Western Luo Kingdoms, the vassal states of Daqian broke away from Daqian and became 'independent' one after another."

"Then, these countries became overseas colonies of the Western Luo Kingdoms."

"Although they are no longer a vassal state of our Great Qian, there are still old feelings between us."

"No matter what, we in Daqian are quite nostalgic."

"They have now traveled thousands of miles, crossed oceans and come to the capital to ask the Great Qian Dynasty for help—requesting that the Great Qian Dynasty send troops to help them drive away the bandits who have invaded their homes."

"Furthermore, they also expressed to Chief of Staff Shen their strong desire to return to the status of a vassal state of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"It is conceivable that their colonial life was not pleasant."

"The Great Qian Dynasty has always been benevolent and virtuous, and naturally could not bear to see the people of the four kingdoms of Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa living in misery every day."

"Moreover, the countries of Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa have repeatedly requested to return to the embrace of the Great Qian."

"Therefore, Chief of Staff Shen personally instructed that, based on the principle of helping whenever possible and in accordance with public opinion, the Daqian Zhenguo Army must not stand idly by."

"By the way, this matter can't be kept secret anyway, so there's no need to hide it."

Yao Yuanwu seemed to have thought of something else and continued, "There is one more thing, which I will announce on behalf of the Great Qian Dynasty on this occasion."

"As a countermeasure to the formation of the 'Anti-Qian Alliance' by the Western Luo Kingdoms, we, the Great Qian, have also decided to form an alliance."

"It's called: Revitalizing the Alliance!"

"The first batch of member states of the alliance were all countries in the Qianzhou region."

"We must not only revitalize the Great Qian Dynasty, but also the entire Qianzhou!"

"Colonel Yao, now that you have announced this news..."

A reporter from the West immediately followed up with, "Would it be convenient to release the list of member states of the Revitalization Alliance?"

"Didn't we just say that?"

"The first members of the Revitalization Alliance were all countries in Qianzhou."

"Oh!"

"I'm sorry, what I said earlier might not have been very clear..."

Yao Yuanwu smiled and said, "What I mean is that the first batch of member states of the Revitalization Alliance includes fifty-one Qianzhou countries, including the Great Qian Empire."

These words caused an uproar among the reporters present!

Because, according to Yao Guangwu, that means—the entire Qianzhou has joined the Revitalization Alliance.......................

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

"We didn't expect the countries of Qianzhou to be so proactive in joining the revitalization alliance."

"However, after thinking about it for a while, I felt relieved."

"After all, nobody wants to live a life of being colonized by bandits every day..."

Looking at the chattering reporters from Xiluo, Yao Yuanwu continued calmly, "We just released the news of forming the Revitalization Alliance."

"The countries of Qianzhou immediately expressed their eagerness to join the alliance to the capital and submitted their applications for membership directly."

"General Shen has agreed to the request of the Qianzhou countries to join the alliance."

"Therefore, the newly formed Revitalization Alliance now has a total of fifty-one member countries."

"I'd like to take this opportunity to do a quick advertisement."

"Although our original intention in revitalizing the alliance was to realize the revitalization of the entire Qianzhou, all member states are now Qianzhou countries."

"However, we still warmly welcome every country with a sense of justice to join the Revitalization Alliance family."

"Interested countries can learn more about it and consider it carefully."

"Choosing a side is also a skill..."

Yao Yuanwu offered a "kind" reminder: "The current world situation needs no further explanation."

No country can remain unaffected.

"Whether you choose to stand against the Great Qian Empire or against the 'Anti-Qian Alliance,' this is a question you need to think carefully about..."

"Shameless! Utterly shameless!" a Western Roman journalist stood up and roared, "Excuse my bluntness—the actions of you Qian people are truly despicable..."

When did the Qianzhou nation submit its application to join the alliance?

"I can guarantee that most of the countries in Qianzhou don't even know that Qian is going to form a 'Revitalization Alliance'!"

"This is a terrible farce that you all staged yourself!"

"You're just making excuses for the Daqian Zhenguo Army's military operations abroad..."

“My friend in the media, I have to remind you of something.”

“In our Great Qian Dynasty—defamation is a serious crime!” Yao Yuanwu looked at the Xiluo reporter with complete indifference and gave him another “well-intentioned” reminder.

"Never make statements without evidence."

"Especially in such official public occasions."

"Slanderous words like yours, spoken without restraint."

"That could lead to a huge loss!"

"Have you all forgotten what happened to that Xiluo 'comrade' who openly slandered the Great Qian Dynasty by taking advantage of the Yi Kingdom's affairs?"

Although Yao Yuanwu said this, he directly denied the doubts raised by the Xiluo reporter.

However, Yao Yuanwu's gaze and expression clearly conveyed: So what? This is all a show we put on ourselves, what can you do about it!

The journalist from Ciro's questioning and speculation were quite accurate.

And that's exactly what the reporter from Ciro said.

What kind of membership application is this...?

Moreover, the countries of Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa did not send anyone to ask for help.

As for the requests from Ludan, Roujia, Qianzhao, and Bosa to become vassal states of the Great Qian again, that's completely unfounded...

The truth is that the Great Qian government made the decision directly on behalf of the Qianzhou countries, forcibly adding them to the list of members of the Revitalization Alliance.

If anyone has any doubts, just say this: everything should be based on the official announcements from the Great Qian Dynasty. Any different statements from other sources are malicious smears!

Even if the Western Luo people get all the countries in Qianzhou to issue denial statements, it won't work!

The Daqian side had already prepared their explanation for this.

The ones issuing the denial statement are the puppet forces cultivated by the Western Roman colonists, and those puppet forces are not recognized by the Great Qian.

Those who submitted applications to join the alliance to the Great Qian Dynasty are the legitimate representatives of the Qianzhou states......................

The Great Qian government will only recognize the status of these resistance forces who dared to resist the colonizers and fight for freedom in the Qianzhou countries.

This time, Daqian has truly mastered the art of "creating something out of nothing."

Although everyone knows what's going on.

But what can you do about it?

Everything is subject to the official announcements of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Last time, the Daqian side did the same thing regarding the issue of barbarian countries.

Practice has proven that this trick works quite well.

This once again proves a fact to people—the most effective way to deal with hooligans and scoundrels is to be more "hooligan" and more "scoundrel" than them.

That's how the Western Romans once manipulated the world.

Whatever they say goes.

What you say today, you can renege on tomorrow...

However, all of this must be based on a fundamental premise.

That is—a strong national defense capability!

Without strong military backing, you don't even have the right to cheat...
