"What the f * ck? Where is this place?"
Lin Shu slowly opened his eyes. What entered his sight was a shabby mud house. The only glimmer of light was coming in from the crack in the corner of the wall above his head.
"What's going on?"
The sour smell of the pickled vegetables exploded or the meat rotting in the humidity assaulted his senses, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Where am I?"
Lin Shu pondered for a long time in the confusion of doubting his life. He opened the door and stared at the strange environment around him. He really doubted his life.
Did I transmigrate?
The memories surged like a tide, not giving him any chance to react. They forcefully entered his brain and rolled quickly.
Lin Shu, also known as Big Tree, was born in Siying Village, Luan County, Tangshan Town, Jizhou. His lips were red and his teeth were white. He was tall and mighty, and he was also a handsome young man from the countryside.
It was now early June 1919, the first world war had just ended, and the Versailles treaty had been signed in France.
The Great Powers ignored the contribution of China to the war and betrayed China as a victorious country. They refused to appeal and renegotiate, and they gave Luzhou, which was previously controlled by Germany, to Japan.
When the news reached Zhongxia, the whole country was furious.
A movement to reform the old and rebuild China erupted vigorously. First, it was initiated by the new young intelligentsia. A large number of workers and peasants responded, and it spread to the whole country like a spark.
While the people denounced the incompetence of the Beiyang rulers and bowed to the foreigners, they could not help but ponder from the bottom of their hearts how China could save itself.
Outside, the foreign powers had sealed off and humiliated them, raising their cannons and greedily sucking the blood of the ancient empires.
Within the country, the country was weak, the industry was zero, the economy collapsed, the rulers were incompetent, the warlords were divided, the north was in a drought, and the south was flooded.
Reforms? Failure, reform? Failure, industrialisation? Failure to enrich the people and strengthen the army? Failure? War? He had failed!
We seem to be really inferior to others because we can't do anything and can't beat them no matter how hard we fight.
No matter how they thought about it, there seemed to be no way to save themselves. The road ahead was bleak and there was no hope at all.
This made many of the educated youths feel despair, and they sighed as if their hearts were in pain." Could it be that there was only one way out?
Lin Shu stared at the letter of death left by his father with a heavy heart.
This was the darkest and humiliating era of the Central Xia Divine Prefecture. He should do something, and he had to do something.
"But I was just a butcher in my previous life, and in this life, I'm just a commoner who has just shaved my braids. What can I do without power or money?”
As soon as he thought of this, flames suddenly exploded in front of Lin Shu's eyes.
"Congratulations to the host for activating the Empire Rise System. Please place the Empire Center in half an hour. If you exceed the time limit, you will be considered to have given up.”
"System?"
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Shu was overjoyed after confirming that it was not an illusion. He could not help but jump up and punch.
As expected, transmigrators were not simple. A transmigrator whose parents had died was even more so.
"System, are there any requirements for settling in the Empire Center?”
"No, but please pay attention to concealment and safety.”The system's mechanical voice sounded.
Concealment and security?
Lin Shu thought for a moment, put on the broken shoes that revealed his big toe, and walked out.
Their destination was a large mountain forest with a radius of dozens of miles. Large beasts were active in the forest, and it was usually unfrequented by humans.
Because it was daytime, and Lin Shu was very careful along the way, after a long journey, he finally arrived at the middle of the forest.
The place was overgrown with weeds, and the ancient towering trees blocked most of the sunlight, making it very dark and humid.
" Place it in the center of the empire."
Lin Shu found a flat and spacious place. After cleaning up the surroundings, he gave the system an order.
As soon as he finished speaking, a row of green brick houses rose from the ground, and the plants that had originally grown there were nowhere to be seen.
The brick house was very ordinary. It was about ten meters long and four meters high. It did not look as imposing as some of the big families in town.
After entering, the furnishings inside were also very simple. There was only a large round table, a few chairs, and a bed.
"System, what abilities do you have?"
Lin Shu asked impatiently.
"The Empire Rise System is to help the host build a powerful empire. The host can obtain merit points by conquering land, defeating enemies, or building a country to exchange for equipment, soldiers, tools... anything can be exchanged.
[Note: Military weapons can only be exchanged for weapons from World War II, and will be unlocked after upgrading.]
"Anything can be exchanged?"
Lin Shu was stunned. Then, a page that no one else could see appeared in front of him.
[Ordinary soldier: 3 merit points]
[Elite Soldier: 4 merit points]
[Super Soldier: 5 merit points]
[High-level spy: 5 merit points]
[Special Talent: 10 merit points]
[10,000 Rifle Bullets: 1 Merit]
[K98K Rifle: 3 merit points]
[Garland semi-automatic rifle: 4 merit points]
[MG34 General Machine Gun: 5 merit points]
[German Tiger Tank: 120 merit points]
[Sherman M4 Tank: 55 merit points]
[P51 Fighter Jet: 50 merit points]
[Type Zero Fighter: 35 merit points]
[Changgate-class Battleship: 25500 merit points]
[Iowa-class Battleship: 50000 merit points]
[George V Battleship: 32000 merit points]
[406mm naval gun: 20 merit points]
……
……
They were all equipment developed during the Second World War and were twenty years more advanced than the main weapons of the various countries.
The entire exchange page seemed to be endless, making people's hearts stir and dazzle.
When the 50,000 merit points Iowa-class battleship appeared, Lin Shu felt his eyes heat up and his breathing quickened.
"Eva! A battleship from Eva!"
Lin Shu suddenly jumped up from his chair and slammed the table. He stared at the exchange page for a long time and finally sighed.
It was a pity that he only had 100 contribution points as a novice.
If he had enough points now, he would only need to exchange for five, no, three, and all the superpowers would be able to put away the cannons on top of the Chinese.
"Hey!"
Lin Shu sighed helplessly and quickly adjusted his mentality. He stared at the 50,000 merit points marked behind Yi Hua and made up his mind.
He had to exchange for it in the future.
"System, exchange for 10 normal soldiers, one super soldier, 11 Garand rifles, and 10,000 bullets.”
The current situation was turbulent, and bandits were emerging one after another. He lived alone in the remote village of Siying Village, far away from the other villagers. He had to pay attention to his safety, lest he was shot by a gentleman in the middle of the night.
"Host, please build the barracks first before summoning the soldiers.”The system's voice rang out," Host, please take note that a Level 1 military camp can only summon a maximum of 20 soldiers of various types. You can level up in the future, and the number of soldiers summoned will increase tenfold with each level.”
"We still need to build barracks?" Lin Shu frowned. After learning that the cost of building a level 1 military camp was 10 merit points, he ordered the construction.
In less than three minutes, a very simple and crude barracks appeared in front of them.
It was so simple that it was embarrassing to mention it. It was just a "tent" of no more than 50 square meters built from an army green woven cloth.
"Summon according to what I said just now!”
Lin Shu rubbed his forehead helplessly.
