I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Chapter 39 Dongyang's Conspiracy

As the Minister of Military Industry, Lu Hangxuan quickly reported the good news to Qin Ruihua: "Your Majesty, we have sold more than 20 warships of various sizes these days, including two cruisers."

"We sold more than 300 I-15 fighters, several hundred tanks, and several thousand artillery pieces of various sizes."

"There are over 98 guns, mostly Type 34k rifles and MG general-purpose machine guns."

Qin Ruihua was very satisfied after hearing this, and said to Lu Hangxuan with a smile: "Minister Lu, it seems that your Military Industry Department will be very busy during this period of time."

Lu Hangxuan immediately replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, we can make a lot of money this time, and then we can vigorously develop industry."

Qin Ruihua nodded in agreement and said, "Very good, pay attention to the time of weapon delivery."

Lu Hangxuan quickly agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Ruihua waved his hand and told him to leave: "If you have nothing else to do, go back and get busy first."

Lu Hangxuan bowed respectfully: "Yes, I'll take my leave." Then he turned and left.

The next day, Qin Ruihua found the Minister of Construction and said with a serious expression: "I called you here today because there is something important that I need you to do."

Lin Wenxuan, who holds the important position of Minister of Construction, responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, please give your instructions."

After thinking for a while, Qin Ruihua said, "I plan to build a brand new palace."

"Today, buildings like the old royal palace are no longer commonly used in various countries. Most of them are preserved for people to visit."

“And this new palace must be built in a modern style and equipped with complete defenses.”

Lin Wenxuan nodded to show his understanding: "Your Majesty, there is no great difficulty in this regard. I will start building a brand new palace as soon as possible."

Then, Qin Ruihua added firmly: "Minister Lin, roads across the country must be extended to township-level units and above."

"In addition, more railways need to be built to ensure unimpeded train travel, as well as infrastructure such as civil airports, so as to achieve a comprehensive national transportation network."

After listening carefully, Lin Wenxuan replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"These projects are already underway, but such a large project cannot be completed overnight."

Qin Ruihua nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the difficulty: "Of course I understand, you go ahead and do your work."

After Lin Wenxuan bowed, he slowly left the room.

As night fell, the entire palace was shrouded in silence.

Qin Ruihua passed through many palaces and came to the bedroom of Queen Xiao Zixuan.

The queen had been waiting for a long time. She was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe and a golden crown on her head. She was very beautiful.

Seeing Qin Ruihua coming in, she smiled slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are finally here."

Qin Ruihua smiled and nodded, walked to the queen, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Yes, my queen."

The queen looked at Qin Ruihua, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and asked: "Why didn't your majesty go to find other concubines today?"

Qin Ruihua smiled and replied, "I don't want to go."

His eyes fell on the queen, and he continued, "I have two new concubines in my harem recently. They are both beautiful women, but they are still slightly inferior to the queen."

After hearing this, the queen couldn't help but feel a sense of sweetness and satisfaction. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so sweet."

Qin Ruihua gently put his arm around the queen's shoulders and said seriously, "I hope that you and your harem can live in peace and avoid fighting and conflict."

"I don't want to see any palace fighting happen. Do you understand what I mean?"

The queen nodded and replied meekly, "Your Majesty, I understand."

Qin Ruihua nodded with relief, then turned and walked towards the bed, taking off his clothes and saying, "I'll stay here with you tonight to rest."

The queen was slightly startled, and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to look for those two sisters?"

Qin Ruihua stopped what he was doing, turned around, and said with a helpless smile: "If I go to see them often, won't I be exhausted?"

"So you should stay here and have a good night's rest."

The queen lowered her head shyly, a blush on her face, and said softly: "In that case, let me wait for Your Majesty to rest."

Qin Ruihua smiled and nodded, then lay down on the bed.

The two lay quietly, feeling each other's warmth, and soon fell asleep.

As the night deepened, moonlight poured into the room through the window, illuminating their quiet faces.

On this quiet night, the two enjoyed a rare moment of peace.

The scene came to the headquarters of Dongyang State. Army Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to Yan State. It rose all of a sudden."

"And they also have the ability to produce battleships, which is a great threat to our future."

Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki echoed, "Yes, this is a great obstacle to our future occupation of the South Pacific. I suggest that we completely destroy them before they fully rise up."

Emperor Ito Eiji frowned, thought for a moment, and responded: "But if we suddenly start a war, other countries might intervene."

Navy Minister Noriyuki Yamamoto quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I think other countries will not interfere in this matter."

"After all, they don't want to see a new powerful country rise."

"The world is such a small pie, and now there is one more person to share it, other countries will definitely not sit idly by."

After listening to this, Emperor Ito Eiji nodded, but still asked with some concern: "Then, if we wage war against Yan Country, what is our chance of winning?"

Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki bowed his head slightly, looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, as far as the Navy is concerned, our Navy Department is 100% sure."

Army Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe then said, "Your Majesty, as long as the navy destroys the Yan Kingdom's fleet, it will not be a problem for our Army to capture the Yan Kingdom's land."

Emperor Ito Eiji did not immediately express his opinion after hearing this. Instead, he looked at the two ministers with sharp eyes, and then asked in a serious tone: "Are you sure you have such a high chance of winning?"

"Don't be too arrogant. No one knows what cards Yan Nation has now."

"And they also have a large number of advanced fighter planes and tanks. Can our aviation and tank forces be their opponents?"

"And their naval warships seem to be more powerful than ours. Is that really true?"

Yamamoto Noriyuki and Watanabe Kiyotaka looked at each other, then lowered their heads and answered in unison: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the two of us have taken all possible situations into consideration."

"Although Yan Country is a bit powerful at the moment, it is not strong enough to compete with our country."

The emperor was silent for a while again, and then he slowly spoke: "I know you have made a lot of preparations, but you still have to act with caution."

"What if this operation fails? We can't afford to take that gamble now."

The two of them felt nervous when they heard this, and they quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty! This operation will definitely succeed. We will do our best and will not let you down!"

"Let's talk about this later."

"Hi, His Majesty the Emperor."

Then the two ministers left with solemn expressions. His Majesty the Emperor did not want to risk all their wealth because their main target was the Oshu Kingdom.
