Chapter 5: No Country Founded
Two days later, after four days of journey, we finally arrived at Dufu Railway Station in Northwest Sichuan.
Because there was no direct train from Shanglu to Beidufu in western Sichuan Province, after arriving in Jiangbei Province by train, we changed to a car and then took another train to Beidufu Railway Station in western Sichuan Province. Therefore, the journey of more than 2,000 kilometers took four and a half days.
"Master, you are finally back!"
As soon as he got off the train, a silver-haired old man in brocade clothes came up to Qin Lin and looked him up and down. Seeing this, Qin Lin shook his head and smiled, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I'm fine. Hu Zi is fine too. He's doing something for me in Shanglu and will be back in a few days."
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay," Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "As long as the young master is okay, otherwise I will definitely break the legs of that little bastard. Well, let's go back to the mansion first. The handsome man is very angry that you took action without permission this time."
"understood."
Then, Qin Lin took a bulletproof jeep from the train station to the Sichuan-West Inspectorate's Mansion. Because the train station was in the south city, it took more than half an hour to reach the Sichuan-West Inspectorate's Mansion.
Looking out the window, you can see a street lamp every 100 meters, and even in the suburbs of the southern city, you can see eight-meter-wide roads and neat streets. As time goes by, the prosperous scene of the central area of the northern capital begins to emerge, with skyscrapers, roads more than ten meters wide, famous treasure streets, and branches of famous brands from all over the world. It is completely the foundation of a world-class first-class city.
In order to develop business, the commercial tax in the six northwestern provinces has been very low in recent years, and a five-year commercial tax reduction policy has been given to merchants. Even so, the fiscal revenue of western Sichuan Province has reached a huge amount of 3500 million. After the five-year period is over, this number will have to double. The most important thing is that western Sichuan, and even the entire six northwestern provinces, are very rich in resources, so this is the real foundation of the Qin family.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Sichuan North Inspectorate's Mansion.
After years of renovation and expansion, the area of this Inspector General's Mansion has reached more than 9 square meters. It has a traditional garden layout and loft-style buildings, divided into three areas. The central area houses the Inspector General's residence and office, the central garden, the military command center, the General Staff Headquarters, etc. The western area mainly includes the Executive Yuan, the Cabinet, the West Garden, the Finance Department, the Transportation Department, the Education Department and other departments. The eastern area is mainly the residence of the Qin Army's Guards, which protect the safety of the entire Inspector General's Mansion.
"Master, the young master is back."
The office of the Inspector General is dozens of square meters and has a mahogany chair with peeling paint, a set of file storage cabinets, and a set of tables, chairs and sofas. It is very simple.
"You brat!"
Qin Yuanzhong put down the pen in his hand and wanted to throw it on the table, but when he thought that this was his son's 60th birthday present to him, he gently put it on the document and cursed, "You said you were going to Shanglu to buy a batch of armored tanks, but now you have caused such a big mess for me. If I don't beat you up today and put you in solitary confinement for half a month, don't even think about leaving my house!"
"Master, calm down!"
Zhang Zhong got the look from his master and started to act like an old actor. "This time, the master shouldn't punish the young master, but reward him. You see, the young master's trick of Nezha making trouble in the sea has brought out all the demons and monsters. If it weren't for the young master, we would still be kept in the dark. The Japanese devils have hidden thousands of soldiers on our land and want to invade our Daqian country. If it weren't for the young master, the consequences would be disastrous!"
"Humph!"
Qin Yuanzhong snorted coldly, "You can't put yourself in danger, that's the worst option! If anything happens to him, the Qin family and the northwest will be in chaos, so we have to consider the overall situation!"
"Your Excellency is right about this."
Zhang Zhong looked at Qin Lin and said, "Master, you are the only heir of our Qin family. You are everything to the Qin family, so you can't have any accidents, otherwise all our efforts will go to waste."
"Father, I know I was wrong."
Seeing Qin Lin sincerely admit his mistake, Qin Yuanzhong was reluctant to punish him, so he said, "Don't do it again next time, or I will definitely put you in solitary confinement. Okay, sit down and talk."
"This time, the Eastern Kingdom has completely exposed its ambitions," Qin Yuanzhong asked Zhang Zhong to make a cup of tea and said, "Killing Kudo Kuramatsu and his son can be regarded as a blow to their arrogance and strengthen the military power of our Daqian Kingdom!"
"However," Qin Yuanzhong said after taking a sip of tea, "we have become the target of the Eastern Kingdom's attack and a thorn in the court's side. This time when we dispatched the flying corps, it really frightened the court, and the old woman in the palace was also frightened. Fortunately, the whole country is now united against foreign enemies, and the court will not point its troops at us for the time being. As for the Eastern Kingdom's attack, we don't need to care. There will definitely be a war between us and the Eastern Kingdom."
"What is the situation in Shanglu now?"
Qin Lin asked.
"The situation is very tense," Qin Yuanlin said with murderous intent in his eyes, "It's nothing more than the old three things. They want us to give money and land to appease the anger of the Eastern Country."
"What does the court say?"
"What do you think?" Qin Yuanzhong asked back.
"Give me money and land!" Qin Lin shook his head and smiled, "As expected, this court never disappoints people, it only makes people despair!"
"but."
Qin Yuanzhong said, "This time the boy in yellow robe insisted on fighting and would never give in. I think this is also what Cao Beiwang meant. Otherwise, the 27th Army of the New Army and the 10 troops of Jiangbei would not have approached Shanglu. As for the other four inspectors, Zhang Beizhan, the inspector of Guangdong and Guangxi, advocated fighting, the inspectors of Yunnan and Guizhou, the inspectors of Hunan and Hubei, and Chen Ying, the inspector of the three northeastern provinces, advocated peace."
"Chen Ying!"
Qin Lin frowned and said, "This Chen Ying has close contacts with the Eastern Kingdom. I'm afraid he has become a running dog!"
"Most likely."
Qin Yuanzhong said, "However, due to the pressure from the whole country, the pro-war faction will surely have the upper hand in this negotiation. Once the pro-war faction has the upper hand, Shanglu will surely become the first battlefield. Then my Qin family will bear the brunt and we will have to send troops to support them."
"I want to fight."
Qin Lin quickly stood up and said, "I have been in special training for two years in the Independent First Division and have been fighting bandits for a year, all for this moment!"
"We'll discuss this later!"
Just as Qin Yuanzhong refused, the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau quickly came to the office. Seeing that there was no one in the office, he said directly, "Marshal, I just got the news that the Japanese couldn't help but send troops."
"what!"
"So fast!"
Qin Yuanzhong didn't expect it to come so soon. He thought the Japanese would wait for a while, but he didn't expect them to attack directly. It was beyond his expectations!
