Chapter 301 I am the Commander-in-Chief
In the empire, except for one governor who defected, more than half of the 28 governors participated in this game, and they all chose the powerful Shizhou with a population of 200 million.
Everyone was unanimously pessimistic about Changshan County, which had a population of less than two million (excluding refugees), an army of just over 40,000, and no advanced weapons.
The Empire Gaming Company, which has a strong background, has adjusted the odds of Changshan County to five decimal places, and some people are also coming to invest in Shizhou.
Even with such a small profit, some people still come to make money. However, the trader still says with a sad face: "Boss, we can't make any money here."
Another trader suggested: "Why don't we open a new market and bet on how long Changshan County can hold out, how much losses there are, and how high the compensation will be."
This is also a common tactic used by companies. When the positive and negative aspects of a project are too obvious, the conditions will be changed. This will create competition and allow the dealer to make more money.
After studying the matter, the company's top management agreed to the proposal.
As a result, the new market opened up quickly.
If Changshan County surrenders within three days, the odds are 10 to 1; if it surrenders within seven days, the odds are 5 to 1; if it surrenders within fifteen days, the odds are 2 to 1; if it surrenders within twenty days, the odds are 1 to 1; if it surrenders within thirty days, the odds are 0.1 to 1.
It can’t last any longer. The trader believes that Changshan County cannot hold out for more than 30 days.
The losses of Changshan County and the amount of compensation after surrender were all revealed one by one.
As soon as the new project was launched, more and more people started to invest. But what made the boss even happier was that there were still fools who came to bet on Changshan County to win in the old market, and they even bet 100 million at a time.
He immediately closed the market to prevent anyone else from following suit and investing in Shizhou, which would reduce the dealer's profits.
"Hahaha, I can make a lot of money again this time."
Changshan County.
Old Xie said with a bitter face: "Chief Lin, the other side has closed the game!"
Lin Wen was very unhappy: "I told you to buy it quickly, but you kept dithering. If you had known earlier, it would have been better to put in 1 billion at once."
Old Xie shouted, "Chief Lin! The upper limit for a single bet is 100 million. I can only place 100 million. This kind of huge order requires confirmation from multiple parties, and the process is very complicated!"
"Alright, alright, that's it. Just hurry up and finish your financial work."
Old Xie said loudly, "Don't worry. Changshan County's finances are very healthy. This month's total fiscal revenue was 4.2 billion yuan, of which Changshan Iron and Steel Plant contributed 2.9 billion yuan and Tenglibaba Company contributed 800 million yuan. Due to the influx of merchants into Huaizhen, tax revenue has skyrocketed to 300 million yuan, mainly from commercial taxes and value-added taxes. The remaining 200 million yuan in revenue comes from Changshan Food Factory, Tianjiang Fishery Company, and some miscellaneous items."
"3.7 billion was spent, and there is still 1.2 billion left on the books."
He recited a series of numbers fluently, clearly having practiced them many times. He then glanced at Lei Tiantong, as if to say, "Look! I'm much more professional than you."
Lei Tiantong nodded slightly to Lin Wen, indicating that there was no problem with the Finance Department.
Lin Wen smiled and said to Lei Tiantong, "Old Xie is relying on you to protect him."
Lei Tiantong understood immediately.
County Chief Lin obviously has a way to identify whether Old Xie has embezzled money. Once he makes a mistake, given County Chief Lin's character, he will not show mercy.
Then, Lei Tiantong, who was supervising him from the side, was the one who pulled himself in before it was too late.
Old Xie is the horse.
Before Old Xie understood what County Chief Lin meant, he jumped up, ripped open his shirt, and flexed his biceps.
"Chief Lin, I'm much stronger than Lei Tiantong! He's the one who needs my protection!"
But Lin Wen had disappeared.
Changshan County Headquarters.
Thanks to the efforts of Fang Dashan and others, the battle plan has been basically finalized. Qin Luoshuang's agents have confirmed that the Shizhou Army is preparing to invade Changshan County on foot.
This is the slowest way, but to the west of Changshan County is a mountainous area stretching for more than 300 kilometers, with Gobi, swamps, rivers and other complex terrain, which is not suitable for motor vehicles at all.
In other words, they had to trek more than 300 kilometers through the mountains, along a 300-kilometer-long supply line, and fight the Changshan County army within the Changshan County.
This is something only the dumbest general would do.
Wang Jing has been in the army for many years. Although he has no outstanding military achievements, he is not so stupid.
After a long discussion, they couldn't find any other intentions. As soon as Lin Wen arrived, Qin Luoshuang asked, "Can you get the battle plan from Shizhou?"
Lin Wen simply closed his eyes and asked [Xianrenzhilu] a question.
Consumption: 10%.
Huh? So little?
After halving, only 5% is used.
Lin Wen used the spell without hesitation.
Soul remaining: 101%
"He wants to attack the villages and towns in the mountains and then declare victory over Changshan County."
Except for Qin Luoshuang who understood, everyone else was confused.
Lin Wen thought to himself, "It seems like this group of people needs to improve their skills. They only think about fighting and don't think about the bigger picture."
Qin Luoshuang didn't think of it at the first time because she didn't realize that there were villages and towns in the mountains.
But Lin Wen knew that the mountainous area in the west of Changshan County was extremely vast, covering an area of nearly 40,000 square kilometers. There were more than a thousand mountain villages and towns of various sizes, with a total population of 700,000. They were extremely closed and had a strong sense of self-preservation.
There are many criminal gangs hiding in the mountains. There is no law, no order, and not many traces of civilization here. Villages and towns that cannot protect themselves have disappeared.
Lin Wen suddenly realized two things.
1. If these 700,000 people can be incorporated into civilized society and allowed to enjoy the conveniences brought about by the development of Changshan County, it will bring a lot of good karma.
Second, he must not allow the Shizhou army to harm these residents. Otherwise, as the head of a county, he would fail to fulfill his responsibility to protect the residents of the county, and there would definitely be bad karma.
Lin Wen immediately overturned the battle plan that they had spent a whole day to come up with.
"Go into the mountains immediately. We must drive them back to their homeland before they can attack any village or town in the mountains."
Lin Wen directly opened his seven orifices to encourage morale.
It shouted: "The blue sea and white clouds darken the long mountains, and the lonely city looks towards Yumen Pass in the distance. I have worn my golden armor through a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and I will not return until I have conquered Shizhou!"
Fang Dashan and the others felt their blood boiling in an instant, their faces turned red, and their necks became thick.
Qin Luoshuang was the only one who objected: "Then we'd have to cross 300 kilometers, with a 300-kilometer supply line, to fight an enemy with more than twice our number!"
"Shut up! I'm the commander-in-chief! Listen to me."
——
Although Qin Luoshuang was very angry, she still helped them to re-make the battle plan. She was not really against Lin Wen, but she was against Lin Wen's reckless behavior.
He looked just now like a hot-blooded young man, doing things regardless of the consequences.
Qin Luoshuang has seen too many people like this, and their final outcome is basically a tragic failure.
That's why she raised objections in order to calm Lin Wen down.
However, this passionate young man is different. Not only is he passionate, he can also force others to be passionate with him.
The most important thing is that Qin Luoshuang discovered that he had the ability to realize the passionate dreams that other passionate young people could not achieve.
When his slogan was shouted out, Qin Luoshuang felt a long-lost surge of passion, as well as an urge to break through all worldly obstacles, no longer care about all the interests involved, and just do what he wanted to do.
She covered her face and listened to Lin Wen stating his magical idea, a strange feeling spreading in her heart.
"I was actually infected by this idiot!"
