Sun Tzu’s Art of War says:”Attack where the enemy is least prepared, take them by surprise. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!”

Faced with Lin Qiming’s sudden attack, the Ghanaian army was caught off guard and had not yet reacted to the fierce attack of the Black Dragon Army. They were defeated and lost important cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, and Victoria.

Even though they organized a large army to fight back, they could not gain any advantage in front of the Black Dragon Army, which had more advanced weapons and equipment and more brave and fearless soldiers. In addition, the incited people also formed a national defense army under the organization of the Black Ice Platform spies who mixed in and joined the battle. The balance of victory in the war quickly tilted towards the Black Dragon Army. On the

15th, they occupied British Columbia, on the 8th they occupied Alberta, and on the 12th they occupied Saskatchewan.

、……In just over 3 months and 100 days, the 10 provinces of Ghana were basically conquered, and only a few remnants of the government army were still resisting in the three regions of Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

The then senior officials of the Governor’s Office were not good at fighting, but they were very good at escaping.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they ran away and the Black Dragon Army could not catch up.

More than 100 senior officials and generals sailed out to sea on a steam-powered wooden sailing battleship from Toronto and disappeared in the vast ocean.

The fleet that Lin Qiming transferred back from the open sea had too few warships and had to guard against the navy that might be sent by the British Empire, so he had to give up chasing the escaping sailing battleship.

Immediately, at the suggestion of the officials and parliamentarians who had been bribed, the interim parliament and cabinet were quickly established. Naturally, there were many spies mixed in, and some people who fanatically supported Lin Qiming voted unanimously to pass the”Ghana National Constitution” and announced the presidential candidate for the special period.

On May 31, 1861, countless people gathered in Edmonton, crowding the city.

They shouted slogans of victory, excitedly waved the red national flag with a dragon holding a maple leaf, and waited for the savior in their hearts to take the stage.

Lin Qiming appeared on time at 10:00, walked up to the stage and began his speech.

“Fellow countrymen of Ghana:

With your concerted efforts and your sacrifice-free fighting, Ghana has finally stood up! From now on, you and your descendants will no longer have to endure the exploitation and oppression of the British Empire. You have the right to own all your property and will not be illegally invaded by anyone.

But we have not yet won a complete victory. The fleeing enemy will come back again.

The fate of you and your descendants depends on the bravery and fighting of our army in the future…

The dignity of the country and our dignity require us to continue to fight bravely and tenaciously…

Freedom, property, life, and honor are all at stake. We cannot escape from fighting and cannot be afraid of fighting, because the enemy will not pity us for this!

Here we gather together and agree to a vow at this time and forever that ignorant people, people without ambition, people without wisdom, people without courage, and people without kindness cannot be state officials, let alone heads of state!

《The Ghanaian Constitution will protect the rights of every citizen, and every (bech) citizen also has the obligation to abide by the provisions of the Ghanaian Constitution. For example, any citizen who meets the provisions of the Constitution shall not propose the termination of slavery contracts for black apes and primates, and shall not organize marches, rallies, protests and other actions that disrupt national and social order with such political demands…

All those who legally obtain Ghanaian nationality are legal citizens, and regardless of race, gender, or age, they have the natural and indisputable right to vote and be elected. It is illegal for any citizen to propagate and spread discriminatory remarks against other races, genders, and ages.……”

After his speech, the people cheered even louder than before. The warm applause and cheers hovered over the city for a long time, especially the plantation owners and slave traders who wanted to be killed on the spot.

After the abolitionist movement broke out in Europe and the United States, these people were in a state of panic every day, fearing that they would wake up bankrupt and become paupers with nothing.

From today on, they will become Lin Qiming’s die-hard supporters. Anyone who wants to overthrow the new government must step over their bodies, because this head of state is the only one in the world who makes decisions for them and does what normal humans should do.

Ghana’s declaration of independence undoubtedly touched the bottom line of the British Empire. The royal family and the cabinet sent telegrams again and again, threatening to send the Royal Navy and the Army across the Atlantic to quell the rebellion.

The former Prime Minister of Ghana, who was exiled abroad and taken in by the Northern Federation of America, even scolded the people of Ghana as traitors in the newspapers. The funny thing is that these remarks were openly published in major newspapers of the Northern Federation, forgetting that America was once a colony of the British Empire and established a country through the War of Independence decades ago.

Lin Qiming ignored the royal family and cabinet of the British Empire. Ghana, which had just experienced the Hundred Days War, was in urgent need of reconstruction.

A large number of gold bricks and pounds were taken out from the secret vault under the Lin family manor villa and lent to the Ghanaian government in the form of loans for the reconstruction of cities destroyed by wars in various places. This also added icing on the cake for him sitting on the presidential throne. After hearing the news, the people became more fanatical and believed that only he could bring them a better life and future.

Seeing that the Prime Minister of Ghana ignored his threats, the interests of the British Empire in the Far East were more important at this time. A large number of troops and fleets were maintaining the safety of shipping from Asia to Europe. It would be a thankless task to send troops on a long expedition.

Under desperation, the British royal family faced public questioning and passed the buck to the House of Commons, claiming that whether to declare war would depend on the resolution of Parliament and that the royal family would resolutely safeguard the national interests of Britain. The House of

Commons naturally did not want to be blamed for being weak and afraid of war, but they could not put the blame back on the royal family, so they could only bite the bullet and explain that they would immediately declare war on the illegally established Ghana as soon as the Far East Fleet and troops were transferred back.

When this news was sent back to Ghana in the form of a telegram, millions of people and government officials were all jubilant, believing that they had achieved a preliminary victory.

“We have won, Ghana has achieved independence!”

Accompanied by cheers, people walked out of their homes, holding high the red flying dragon maple leaf flag, forming a surging torrent, gathering in the square to sing and dance.

Bang bang bang!

With a soft knock on the door, the door of the president’s office slowly opened.

Lin Qiming heard the sound and nodded slightly. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

The secretary immediately walked over to open the door, and a tall officer walked in. He saluted neatly as soon as he entered the door, and then walked to the large desk.

“Master, all the former government troops in the entire territory of Ghana have been wiped out, and the Black Dragon Army is reorganizing the National Defense Army!”

“Please instruct the military on the next move!”

His voice was trembling with excitement. It was really an admirable achievement to conquer a country.

Lin Qiming put down the documents in his hand, smiled and said lightly[]

“Li Luoda, you did a good job, and the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army are also very good, they are brave and good at fighting and are not afraid of sacrifice!”

“The training and reorganization of the National Defense Army cannot be relaxed. It will take at least 3 months of training before it can barely be competent for the responsibility of defending the country. The main combat force in the short term will still be the Black Dragon Army.”

“Therefore, the military should be quiet for now, and cultivate internal strength before thinking about other things. You should sort out the list of Black Dragon Army soldiers who have made outstanding contributions in the Hundred Days War, as well as the list of National Defense Army soldiers who have performed outstandingly. I will choose an auspicious day to award them medals in front of the public.”

Li Luoda saluted again, choking a little and said

“Thank you for your concern, Master. I would like to thank you on behalf of the soldiers!”

He thought of the soldiers who died in the battle and the days when he trained them personally. His eyes were red and tears welled up, but he restrained himself from crying.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and Lin Qiming knew what he was thinking.

Every battle report from the front line would be reported, and he naturally knew that the Black Dragon Army had sacrificed many soldiers in a small force, and he understood the current mood of Li Luoda, the chief instructor.

“Well, war is not without its share of casualties. Oh, and I have something to give you.”

“Send one of the former guardian generals back to Daxia to find those surviving followers and missionaries. As for the elders and hall masters, it’s up to them to come or not.”

“Only Christianity and Catholicism are bad in this land. They all believe in God and are easily instigated by the church. I didn’t want to call back the Tianli Sect, but some people are getting ahead of themselves, so I’ll give them something to do.”

Lin Qiming was talking about the bishop of the Greater Ghana region, Caris, who hadn’t come to see him for so long after the founding of the country.

He understood that the other party had to wait for the order of the Holy See and the Pope, but he could not forgive him even if he understood. He had to teach the church, which was too self-righteous, a lesson and strengthen his ruling foundation.

After watching the re-energized Li Luoda leave, Lin Qiming left the Presidential Palace, which was rebuilt on the basis of the Edmonton City Government, after handling the work at hand, and got on a luxurious carriage to return to the Lin’s Manor. He hadn’t been home for many days. Tiffana and Lin Xianyin sent people to urge him many times. There were not many government affairs today, so he could go back to comfort them after he was done. Tonight, they might fight until dawn.
