" Your Majesty, last night, the Fusang Guandong Army entrenched in the northeast of Fenghua City, according to a carefully planned plot, had the railway garrison blow up the South Manchurian railway track built by Fusang near Fengtian's Liutiao Lake and frame the Fenghua Army. The Fusang Army used this as an excuse to bombard the Northeast Army's North Camp. Today, the Fusang Army has invaded Fengtian.”
"Fusang's intention is very obvious. They want to completely occupy the three eastern provinces.”
In the spacious and bright office, the Minister of National Defense, Xiao Teng, finished his report and looked at the Emperor, Qin Zhen, who was sitting in a chair with a gloomy expression.
After a long silence, Qin Zhen sighed and waved his hand, signaling Xiao Teng to leave.
Noticing the Emperor's odd expression, Xiao Teng stood at attention and saluted. He then left the office respectfully and closed the door gently.
"Damn it, what should have come has come.”
Qin Zhen lit a cigarette, got up, and walked to the French window. Through the glass, he looked at the small but elegantly built palace.
He was a transmigrator. It had been two years since he had transmigrated to this strange parallel space and time, and he had even become the emperor.
Why was it strange?
This was because there was an island country called Great Qin in this parallel universe. It was located on the Indu Ocean, forming a triangle with Sumatra and Sri Lanka. Opposite it was the Bay of Bengal, which guarded the Strait of Malacca. It had an area of 108,000 square kilometers and a population of 15 million. 90% of it was Han.
The founding of the Great Qin Empire could be traced back to the 13th century, when the Yuan army went south to destroy the Song Dynasty.
In the autumn of 1278, the year before the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Xiao, the leader of the Qin family, the strongest family in the south, saw that the situation was hopeless. He immediately used up all his wealth to search for craftsmen, scholars, and other elite talents. He also invested enough money to buy a large number of ships and fled overseas with hundreds of thousands of Han people. After going through countless difficulties, he arrived at this island with a superior geographical location and was still occupied by the natives. He used force to expel the natives and established the Great Qin Empire.
In the 13th century, before the Great Voyage Era began, Qin Xiao had a very sharp vision. He used a large number of craftsmen and the rich resources of Dongnamya to build warships. He went to his homeland to fight against the Yuan army and took away the flower farmers who were unwilling to endure the cruel rule of the Yuan Dynasty to expand the population of Great Qin.
Apart from that, Great Qin's navy also attacked the countries of Dongnamya and plundered their wealth, resources, and slaves.
By the early 14th century, the population of the Great Qin Empire had exceeded 10 million, and it ruled over more than half of East Manya. It guarded the Strait of Malacca, and the Great Qin Navy became the world's number one.
Qin Xiao also vigorously developed maritime trade. The merchant ships of the Great Qin Empire shuttled across the ocean all year round, and their trade with the continent was the most frequent, indirectly causing the arrival of the Great Voyage Era.
In 1340, the 92-year-old founding emperor, Qin Xiao, passed away. The elegant Qin Wen Emperor took over the throne and gradually stopped expanding, focusing on developing maritime trade.
In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and ended the rule of the foreign races.
As the Ming Dynasty was a Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Qin took the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with it. Zhu Yuanzhang considered that the Great Qin Dynasty was too strong. The Ming Dynasty had just been established, and the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty had not been wiped out completely. The country had been ravaged by war all year round, and the people's livelihood was declining. Therefore, he and Emperor Wen of Qin became sworn brothers and became a country of brothers. They even swore an alliance of blood and swore never to invade each other.
Both countries were Han empires. One was the overlord of the land, and the other was the overlord of the sea. They controlled East Asia tightly. The other small countries complained endlessly and could only become vassal states.
However, as time passed, Zhu Yuanzhang died, Zhu Di died, Zhu Zhanji died, and a war god appeared in the Ming Dynasty. The change of the Tumu Fortress caused the Ming Dynasty's national strength to take a sharp turn.
Great Qin was not doing much better. It had two fatuous rulers and encountered the rise of the western countries. After a few disastrous defeats, Dongnamya was gradually devoured by the western countries.
However, Great Qin's foundations were strong, and in the early 17th century, it was the first to implement a constitution to prevent a fatuous ruler from harming the country. After its national strength recovered, it was able to withstand the attacks of the western countries and seize the opportunity of the first industrial revolution to once again become a world power.
The Great Ming Dynasty was not so lucky. Even though Great Qin had sent out many advanced firearms and cannons, they were still destroyed by the Mien Qing, and the flower farming people suffered an unprecedented calamity.
It wasn't that Great Qin didn't want to send troops to help, but that it didn't have the ability to do so.
The western countries did not want to see two superpowers appear in the Mute Continent, so they did their best to suppress and weaken Great Qin.
Great Britain was the most enthusiastic because their precious Indo Colony was less than 1000 kilometers away from Great Qin.
How can others sleep beside the couch?
As a result, after the First World War broke out, Great Qin was dragged into it. Due to the commander's misjudgment, Great Qin's navy suffered a fatal blow at the Indu Ocean, and the coastal industrial zones were also destroyed by the Great Britain Navy, never to recover.
In 1925, after the First World War, Great Qin encountered a powerful plague. Within three years, 10 million people had died, leaving only 15 million people, and Great Qin had almost been destroyed.
The Great British Kingdom had seized this opportunity to destroy Great Qin and occupy the incredibly important Qin Island.
However, in 1929, the economic crisis that engulfed the western countries saved Great Qin.
Even though Great Qin's light and heavy industries were still quite complete and it was still ranked among the top ten in the world, it was still an island country that had been locked down by Great Britain and the other western countries, so it lacked resources and could not develop at all.
After Qin Zhen transmigrated and understood the history, he felt terrible.
This was a f * cking hell of a start!
They had neither resources nor strength, and could only coop themselves up on the island and struggle to survive. Who knew when they would be wiped out and divided up by the superpowers.
Qin Island's geographical location was simply too domineering. It was the gatekeeper of the Bay of Bengal and the Strait of Malacca, and it was close to Indu. Great Britain would probably want to destroy Great Qin even in their dreams.
Qin Zhen's face was full of worry as he thought about how to break out of this situation!
In the industrial era, resources were national strength. Without resources, one would be meat on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
The headache was that although Qin Island was not small, it was 108,000 square kilometers, which was equivalent to the area of Zhejiang Province.
However, the island lacked resources, which were far from enough for development.
In the past, Dongnamya was still under Great Qin's control and did not lack resources.
After the First World War, Great Qin had been completely locked down by Great Britain and the other western countries, and they could not even buy ores.
It was difficult!
Qin Zhen raised his head in melancholy and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. The sense of crisis had already pressed down on him to the point that he could not breathe.
The current time was September 19th, 1931. The September 18th Incident had broken out, and there were less than eight years left until the Second World War.
If they could not find a way out of this situation, a world war would break out, and Xiao Ri would sweep through East Manya. With Xiao Ri's wild ambitions, Great Qin would definitely perish.
What should he do?
Thinking about how Great Qin had been destroyed and the ten million or so citizens enslaved by the devils, Qin Zhen smoked even faster, and his mood became worse.
