Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

Just looking at the equipment of the South China Navy and Army, let alone the present era, even in another twenty years, the strength of the South China National Defense Force will still be among the best in the world.

In addition to the military reforms, although South China has not yet entered a wartime economy, the country had already begun stockpiling various military supplies two years ago.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you."

"Jingwen is here, let him come over."

As the country was founded longer and longer, the rules in the palace became stricter and stricter. In order to maintain the authority of the monarch Sun Tong, family members now changed their names when in front of outsiders.

"My son, please see your father!"

With the start of the European war, the last obstacle to Nanhua's upgrading to an empire was gone. Seeing that the founding ceremony of the Nanhua Empire was about to begin, it was not an exaggeration for Sun Jingwen to call Sun Tong "Father Emperor".

Today, Nanhua is the largest food supplier and the second largest material supplier of Ying Kingdom. What the other party wants to do most at this moment is to bring the four African countries and the Kingdom of Nanhua into the ranks of the allied forces. As for Nanhua's plan to upgrade the kingdom to an empire, they can only envy it in their hearts at most, and it is absolutely impossible for them to oppose it.

As for the Ugly Country, the two countries have already reached a series of cooperation in secret for Xiaorizi. In order to get South China to form an alliance with itself, the Ugly Country even threw out the Luzon Islands as a "treasure" to South China.

Ever since the Ugly Country snatched Luzon from the Bull Country, the Ugly people suddenly realized that they had been fooled by the "devils" this time.

Who could have thought that Luzon, which looked so beautiful, would turn out to be a huge pit after falling into the hands of the Ugly Country.

In order to ensure the stability of the colony, the Ugly Country not only did not gain any benefits in Luzon over the years, but also spent a lot of money on it.

Today's Luzon is a useless thing to the Ugly Country. Keeping it is not only useless but also a waste of money. But if they give it up, the Ugly Country will be reluctant to do so. After all, they spent money to get this colony in the first place.

Just when Chou Country was in a dilemma, Nanhua appeared.

For Nanhua, which has basically unified Southeast Asia, Luzon is a place of some interest.

Although this is a critical point, it is actually not as critical as imagined. The problem is that if the Luzon Islands are left to other countries, as long as they establish military bases there, it will pose a threat to the entire South China.

Especially after South China mastered missile technology, they would never allow such an alien to exist on the border of their country.

This time, the Ugly Country brought up Luzon as a condition for alliance, which obviously hit Nanhua's sore spot. Nanhua has been coveting this place for a long time. In the past, because of the Ugly Country standing behind the Luzon Islands, Nanhua had never made any move. But now, the Ugly Country actually brought this delicious little sweet treat directly to Nanhua's mouth.

Isn't it just an alliance?

Is this even a big deal?

Even if Chouguo doesn't mention the matter of dealing with the Japanese, Nanhua will also take action when necessary. Now we can get Luzon by the way, which is really an unexpected surprise.

"How are the preparations for the founding ceremony going?"

"Everything is ready. Now we just need to wait for the envoys from various countries to arrive in Nanhua, and then the ceremony can begin."

Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, you have reached the age to get married. What do you think about your future marriage?

"I will leave it to the Emperor to make the final decision!"

"Forget it, you are the only one in our family who has the best ideas. Now you are just saying nice things, but I have to make the final decision. When I really choose a princess who doesn't suit your taste, I don't know what trouble you will cause me. Besides, given our current situation, there is really no need to risk your lifelong happiness for a marriage. So, as for your future princess, you should try to choose someone you like. But we have to make it clear that you must get married before you are 22 years old. Remember?"

"Yes, I have remembered it!"

Sun Jingwen was not surprised by Sun Tong's answer. After all, for a long time, Sun Tong's father had not given him the impression of a traditional feudal patriarch, so Sun Jingwen still had great expectations for his future marriage.

As for what he said before about letting Sun Tong make the decision, it was just nice talk in front of his father, and neither of them would take it seriously.

"Have you contacted the second brother recently?"

"Yes, we contacted each other and talked on the phone yesterday."

"Is that kid used to being in the army?"

"Habit. I even think he is happier than staying at home."

It has been some time since Sun Jingwu went to military school. Because he went there only for further studies, he graduated after only one year. Now he has joined the Fifth Division stationed in Dongzhou Province as a battalion commander.

Because his identity as a prince has never been revealed to the public, he got the position of battalion commander based on his own ability. The only problem that people criticize him for now is that he is too young.

After all, when you reach the level of battalion commander, you are a colonel-level officer. A colonel-level officer under the age of 18 is quite explosive in any era. You know, in the Nanhua army, there are many people who are over 40 and still have the rank of major in military academy.
