Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

Within the territory of Youzhou—Youdu.

"General, the Emperor has abdicated!"

"That old fox Xie Kangnian has finally taken this step!"

Having just listened to Emperor Yongsheng's abdication speech, Ge Daqiang smacked his lips and said, "You know what, Xie Kangnian, that old guy, is quite the trickster."

"I estimate that most of the military governors in other provinces are completely bewildered right now."

"How can you not be confused? You just listened to the radio and found out about the emperor abdicating." Shen Moshen said calmly.

It was clear that Shen Moshen was not at all surprised by Emperor Yongsheng's "sudden" announcement of abdication in favor of Xie Kangnian.

Because Shen Moshen, who was focused on developing his skills in Youzhou, was constantly keeping track of intelligence information from all over Daqian through the intelligence network he had obtained as a reward for his mission.

In particular, the capital city, a strategic location, has become a key focus for Shen Moshen.

In terms of the importance attached to the intelligence system, all the warlords in the Great Qian Dynasty, including Xie Kangnian who was stationed in the capital, could not compare to Shen Moshen, this transmigrator.

Therefore, based on the system rewards, Shen Moshen strengthened and built up the intelligence system of the Youzhou army almost without regard to cost.

In order to supply the secret intelligence agency with high-quality agents, Shen Moshen also made great efforts to establish a special intelligence training academy in Youzhou to specifically train agents.

Therefore, Xie Kangnian, who thought he had been very discreet, was still exposed by Shen Moshen's all-pervasive intelligence network!

The fact that Xie Kangnian had secretly cooperated with the Gelian people could not be kept from Shen Moshen.

Therefore, Shen Moshen was probably one of the few people besides Xie Kangnian who knew Xie Kangnian's true intentions in planning to become emperor.

However, Shen Moshen, who was still under protection, did not interfere in matters outside of Youzhou.

All he did was observe how the situation developed.

During this special period, various intelligence information was gathered in Youdu daily via telegram. Up to now, Xie Kangnian's every move has been basically under Shen Moshen's control and prediction.

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

"Great chaos is about to break out."

"Wait!"

"Once Xie Kangnian finally confirms his acceptance of Emperor Yongsheng's 'abdication,' those warlords who are not Xie's faction will definitely form an anti-Xie alliance under the pretext of 'purging the emperor's inner circle.'"

In the blink of an eye, Shen Moshen has been developing peacefully in Youzhou for more than two years under the newbie protection period.

The three-year "development" goal set at the beginning is now progressing rapidly at a gratifying pace.

With the support of the system, Shen Moshen has now established a very complete industrial system in Youzhou.

It can be said that it can benefit both people's livelihood and military affairs.

Relying on the territory of Youzhou and its population of 6000 million, Shen Moshen has now transformed Youzhou into an industrial "country within a country" that is in no way inferior to the powerful nations of the Western Luo Continent.

The province is surrounded by railways, highways, and airports.

The people living in Youzhou became the luckiest group in the entire Daqian Empire.

They never dreamed that their lives would undergo such a dramatic change in less than three years.

It's no exaggeration to say that, under the influence of Shen Moshen's relentless efforts to complete the "Popular Support" series of missions...

The lives and welfare benefits enjoyed by the people of Youzhou have surpassed those of many powerful nations.

As the living standards and sense of happiness of the people of Youzhou have been comprehensively improved, a powerful armed force covering the army, navy and air force has also emerged.

It can be said that everything in Youzhou has been completely transformed.

A new Youzhou has emerged, one that will shock the entire world...

The largest penicillin production line in Youzhou has an annual capacity to treat 1000 million patients.

It's important to know that this production capacity is already higher than the total annual penicillin production capacity of the entire United States at the end of 1942 during World War II.

The Katyusha rocket launcher, known as the "King of Firepower" in land warfare during World War II, was also being mass-produced in the Youzhou Army's arsenal.

包括STG-44突击步枪、MG42通用机枪、豹式坦克、虎王坦克、“野蜂”自行火炮、88毫米高射炮、P51野马战斗机、JU87斯图卡俯冲轰炸机、B-29轰炸机等等计划列表内的武器生产线基本上已经全部到位。

In the naval sphere, U-XXI-class submarines are being built in large numbers.

Shipyards capable of building aircraft carriers and other large warships are also operating at full capacity, constructing various types of warships.

Thanks to Shen Moshen's tireless efforts, the value of the Super Domination System was fully realized.

To date, Shen Moshen's Youzhou army has completed its previously set expansion target ahead of schedule, with a total strength of 330 million troops across the army, navy, and air force.

It's no exaggeration to say that Youzhou, after its systematic transformation, is a treasure trove.

With its astonishing reserves of various mineral resources, Youzhou can guarantee all its military and civilian production activities without relying on imports from outside, achieving complete self-sufficiency across the entire industrial chain.

The world's largest military industrial base, the world's most productive agricultural breeding base, and the largest meat and poultry industry base in the Great Qian Empire have become the most solid logistical support for the Youzhou Army.

Youzhou had become a force that no one dared to underestimate.

In fact, if Shen Moshen wanted to, he could immediately send troops out of Youzhou to forcefully sweep across the entire Daqian Empire and end the warlord chaos.

However, considering the current situation of the Great Qian Dynasty and various other factors,

Shen Moshen decided he couldn't waste the safety protection period—he had to survive for the full three years!

Allow the Youzhou army to train for as long as possible and produce more strategic materials and weapons.

After all, Shen Moshen knew better than anyone else that the real enemy facing the Youzhou Army was never the various warlord armies within the Great Qian Empire.

Unifying the Great Qian Empire by force is not difficult!

However, you must be prepared to break ties with the world's major powers at any time.

Furthermore, you must be prepared to confront multiple powerful nations head-on simultaneously.

Shen Moshen had done his homework in this regard.

The world's major powers are taking the Great Qian Empire very seriously.

According to Shen Moshen's understanding, the vast and resource-rich Great Qian Empire actually possesses more than 50% of the world's mineral resources!

The world's largest gold mine, largest silver mine, largest iron mine, largest oil field, largest copper mine, largest tin mine, largest aluminum mine, largest molybdenum mine, largest manganese mine, and so on, are all located in the Great Qian Empire!

With the largest population and the richest resources, it can be said that it has a winning hand and the world is in its grasp.

Yet, the Great Qian Empire, holding such a winning hand, has somehow managed to turn itself into a laughingstock of the world....................

The adage "If you fall behind, you will be bullied" applies to any era!

The Western Luo states, which were among the first to enter the industrial age, flocked to the Great Qian Dynasty to frantically seize profits.

Faced with the Great Qian Empire, such a "super fat sheep," the various powers all had their own plans.

Furthermore, the Western Luo kingdoms have long been engaged in open and covert struggles on the territory of Daqian, and none of them want to see the other gain more advantage.

The Gelian people once astutely pointed out that the resources of the Great Qian are so abundant that a slight misstep could directly affect the balance of power in the Western Luo Continent!

Therefore, we absolutely cannot tolerate other countries having interests in Georgia that exceed those of the Georgian Union.

If that situation were to occur, we would face a tremendous crisis.

It was precisely for this reason that the Great Qian Empire experienced a period of warlordism that lasted for decades.

While the major powers were doing everything they could to seize interests in China, they also maintained an even more intense system of checks and balances.

Otherwise, the Great Qian Empire would probably have been completely divided up by the great powers long ago.

The Western Luo kingdoms even signed many mutually restrictive agreements because of the problems with the Great Qian Empire.

The fundamental reason why Georgian, Dunli, Lanxi, and Pulun actively supported Xie Kangnian's military unification of Daqian was that the expanding interests of the Salo people and the Yi people in Daqian in recent years had seriously threatened Georgian and other countries.

Furthermore, watching helplessly as the Sharo and Yi people rapidly grow stronger with the help of the Great Qian's resources is absolutely not in the long-term interests of the Western Luo kingdoms.
