Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Therefore, when Lin Yi asked Li Fu to transform domestic factories, Li Fu almost did not hesitate.

At the same time, Li Fu is still worried that there are not enough factories in Daxia and they are not good enough.

Li Fu was not a professional soldier, and when he became the first minister, the military and civilian factories of the Great Xia Empire had already been separated.

In other words, Li Fu is not very clear about how much steel and how many factories need to be transformed to launch a war.

Therefore, Li Fu could only transform as many factories as possible from civilian factories into military factories.

Of course, this is without lowering the living standards of the people of the empire. If you choose to lower it, then the number of this transformation can be even greater.

Now that civilian use has begun to be converted to military use, it was originally a military factory, which maximizes production efficiency.

All military factories directly implement wartime regulations, working in three shifts 24 hours a day, without rest for workers and machines.

Therefore, after Li Fu returned to the cabinet, a "Letter to All Citizens" was spread throughout the country by the cabinet in the form of a newspaper.

This "Message to All Citizens" was read out at radio stations in major cities in Daxia.

This letter to all the people was written by Hu Xijiang, a great contemporary writer from Teikyo University.

The full text has only 1248 words, but it begins with the decline of the empire and narrates the history of its revitalization.

Especially the sentence "After three generations of hardships, we can achieve the prosperity of the current world, the sacrifices of our ancestors, and the stability of future generations."

"This will never give up the desire of the great powers to destroy me, and the world should remember this."

This article begins by saying that it is not easy for the empire to be what it is now. It was all bought with the blood of our ancestors.

But now other countries can't see that Daxia can live a good life, and they want Daxia to return to the way it used to be, but they could be bullied by other countries.

Since our ancestors were able to create such a prosperous age for future generations in the face of adversity, then what do we, who are already in a prosperous age, have to fear?

As soon as Hu Xijiang's article was published, it was greatly sought after by the Chinese people.

Suddenly, students in major cities took to the streets and held demonstrations to demand that the empire take a tough stance against Sakura Country.

On major streets, citizens also set up donation boxes, and people donated money one after another.

After receiving intelligence from various places, Li Fu formally recalled the Empire's ambassador to Sakura Country on the third day after the exchange of fire in Kyoto Bay, and expelled the Sakura Country ambassador.

Subsequently, the imperial emperor Zhao Xi formally issued the combat order through a television recording and appointed himself the general marshal of the imperial navy, land and air force.

Prince Rui Lin Yi was appointed deputy marshal of the three armies and assisted in commanding the three armies.

And asked Lin Yi to punish Sakura Country as soon as possible.

In short, it was a formal declaration of war on Sakura Country.

The Sakura Country also issued a statement half a day behind Daxia.

Sakura Country pointed out that the Kyoto Bay incident was a drama written and directed by Daxia to befuddle the world.

Sakura Country will resist to the end for the dignity of its own country.

He also called on all conscientious people around the world to join the Sakura Kingdom in resisting Daxia.

At the same time, it called on those countries such as Annam Java, Fanglan Kingdom, Khmer, and Siam Feng that were under the rule of Bactria to resist the colonial rule of Bactria.

Regarding the proposal of the Sakura Kingdom, let alone whether the people in their country supported it, let's talk about the vassal states of Daxia that he nominated, all of them looked at the Sakura Kingdom as if they were fools.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what kind of life these countries were living in the past and what kind of life these countries are living now.

They became colonies of Westerners, and everything in these countries was decided by Westerners.

Looking back now, except for some diplomatic and tax matters that need to be negotiated with Daxia, Daxia generally ignores them.

Even for their domestic resources, Daxia jointly develops them with the local area.

Although Daxia made a lot of money, they also continued to eat meat and drink soup.

Anyone who came out of Daxia's system would not do this as long as he was a normal person.

Therefore, after being named by the Sakura Kingdom, these countries wrote to the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs one after another, requesting that they join Daxia in punishing the Sakura Kingdom, which does not know the heights of the sky.

Daxia has such a request. Naturally, it’s hard to refuse. They were only asked to hand over the command of the troops and cooperate with the empire's actions.

After these countries learned of Daxia's attitude, they returned home one after another and began preparations for war.

However, the Sakura Kingdom saw that its declaration to instigate relations between Daxia and Southeast Asian countries did not have any positive effect. Instead, it made all countries extremely hostile to the Sakura Kingdom.

It felt like I had eaten ten thousand flies.

Of course, this Sakura Country's declaration is not without effect. At least some countries responded.

Just like John Empire and Millican.

In fact, the John Empire and Millijan had their own selfish motives for supporting the Sakura Kingdom.

They knew very well that a large part of the reason why the Hans Empire and the Gallic Empire were so difficult to fight and developed so powerfully was because of the support of Daxia.

Daxia's resources were transported continuously via railways from Daxia to the Bupa Republic or the Middle East to the Hans Empire.

The Hans Empire used these resources to produce weapons and ammunition, and then invested in the war.

If a rival is established for Daxia in East Asia, will Daxia reduce its aid to the Hans Empire?

Once there is no blood transfusion from the Daxia Empire, the combat effectiveness of the Hans Empire will immediately be reduced by half.

That way, it would be much easier for them to defeat the Hans Empire.

And now, Sakura Country is a very good chess piece.

Let him confront Daxia in East Asia and hold Daxia back. As long as they are given one to two years, the John Empire and Milician are confident that they can defeat the Hans Empire.

And for this, all they need to pay are some supplies.

And these supplies are not all free, they need to be paid by Sakura Country.

Therefore, for the John Empire and the Gallic Empire, they encouraged the Sakura Kingdom and Bactria to confront each other in East Asia.

As for whether the casualties in Sakura Country will be heavy if they do this, that is not something they need to consider.

Anyway, wasn’t all this initiated by your Sakura Country?

Therefore, after Sakura Country issued a declaration of resistance, John Empire immediately expressed support for Sakura Country.

At the same time, the two countries also stated that they would provide a batch of humanitarian supplies to Sakura Country.

These supplies will include crude oil, food, warm clothing, etc.

This clearly means telling Daxia that what I send are civilian supplies. Do you dare to intercept them?

If you intercept it, you are inhumane and have no regard for the life and death of civilians.

If I don't intercept it, do you think I will secretly stuff the weapon inside?

Moreover, these ships are flying the flag of their country. If you intercept and search them, you will undermine free trade and declare war on the two countries.

Will Lin Yi be afraid of the sinister intentions of John Empire and Milician?

In other words, does he have a way to deal with it?
