Chapter 622 King Lin Wen
Changshan County’s great victory caused a sensation. No one expected that the aggressive Elder Lin Yabo would be so vulnerable.
Not only were the conventional troops destroyed, but the main insect-man troops that he was proud of were also annihilated.
This made many forces start to think about it.
Should we take the opportunity to take a bite of this big piece of fat meat, Lin Yabo?
The territory currently occupied by Lin Yabo is very large, second only to the territory directly controlled by the Supreme Council.
To the west, it borders the Qin Group's territory, to the north, it borders the Luo Yuan-Wu Yao Group, and to the east, it almost covers the territory of the Supreme Association.
Lin Yabo's cronies plundered a large amount of wealth in the occupied territory, which made many people jealous, but no one acted rashly because of the huge insect army.
However, after his crushing defeat, many people began to get restless.
Among them, Luo Yuan and Wu Yao were the most excited.
These two commanders have always been marginalized figures. Even if they were to unite, they would not be powerful, but they just have restless hearts.
Seeing that Lin Yabo was overrated, he wanted to give him a try, but he was afraid that the Great Elder would take the opportunity to do something bad.
At this moment, they suddenly received a telegram from the Great Elder.
The telegram said a lot, but the general meaning was that Lin Yabo had rebelled against the empire and his crime was unforgivable, and they were asked to rise up and fight against the enemy. It was also stamped with the seal of the empire's highest military department.
In the past, this telegram was quite important.
But since the empire was actually divided, the imperial supreme military has become a hollow shell. The marshals either died in battle or rebelled, the commander-in-chief of the army refused to obey orders, and the imperial army was controlled by the Supreme Council and had no practical value.
But now, it gave the two commanders a shot in the arm. This telegram not only made their attitude clear, but also gave them a status, so that they would not be labeled as traitors by the elders when they started a rebellion.
Moreover, the Great Elder had already evacuated the imperial troops stationed near them, so there was no need to worry about a sneak attack from the rear.
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "God has finally favored us. This is a great opportunity."
Wu Yao laughed and said, "Could it be that we are the true children of destiny?"
They both laughed.
But before sending troops, there were some concerns.
Luo Yuan asked, "Are we being used as pawns by the Great Elder?"
Wu Yao sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? We'll just grab a bunch and run away. The brave ones will die of overeating, and the timid ones will die of starvation."
Luo Yuan was still a little hesitant, but when he thought of the Golden Lion King of the Third Empire of Narima and his personal army rushing towards them, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it! After this great victory, the Lion King can no longer look down on us."
——
"so."
The burly, thick-haired golden lion king sat in the upper seat and said indifferently.
"Is this the reason why you suffered such a crushing defeat and even lost Xiyan Province?"
Luo Yuan and Wu Yao were trembling and couldn't say a word.
"Humph, trash."
The Golden Lion King slammed the wine glass to the ground.
"To think such a useless person existed in this prestigious empire! It seems the legendary elder who brought down Li Longxing wasn't that great after all."
Luo Yuan hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, please send your troops immediately to defeat the Supreme Council and Lin Yabo."
"idiot!"
The Lion King roared like a lion, splashing saliva all over his face.
"Do you think I'm as stupid as you? Nareema has endured hardships for so many years. He won't take action unless he is sure of victory."
He pointed at them without the slightest courtesy.
"From now on, you are the captains of Narema's Lion Guard. Immediately declare your independence from the Empire and become a vassal of Narema."
Luo Yuan and Wu Yao cried out in alarm, "Your Majesty, this is impossible! Without absolute military victory, issuing such a statement will only lead to our downfall. Countless people in the territories we control will rebel, and the armies we control will not follow us. Our rule will crumble like sand, and everything will be over!"
"Shut up!" the Lion King roared. "If you don't agree, you'll die now. I can take Narima's things myself."
Luo Yuan and Wu Yao's faces were as pale as ghosts. They knew that things were beyond redemption.
——
The open rebellion of the imperial commanders Luo Yuan and Wu Yao and the direct intervention of the Narima Third Empire marked the beginning of external interference in the empire.
All the hidden conspiracies and intrigues were brought to the surface at once. Everyone in the world knew that the empire had been divided. This country, which was once so powerful and invincible, had finally come to this point.
All countries tried to grab a share of the wealth from this great change. In addition to the three major powers, countless countries also participated in this feast.
They frantically searched for representatives of their interests within the empire, trying to contact Qin Gang, Lin Yabo, Luo Yuanwuyao, Ren Zhengqing, some surviving minor governors, and even the great elders.
Changshan County was even more crowded with people.
In their eyes, this region, which is not very powerful but has many advanced technologies, is an undiscovered treasure, and Lin Wen is the super treasure boy in their eyes.
Investing in Changshan County at this time will definitely be a huge profit.
To their surprise, Changshan County signed numerous unequal agreements with them without any obstacles, countless treaties that could be described as treasonous, and even agreed to a marriage with the notorious old witch Singer of the Western Federation.
However, when the ecstatic Singh delivered the dowry, Changshan County did not send the fragrant handsome Lin as agreed, but continued to ask her for the fare.
After paying the boarding fee, she had to pay the getting off fee. After paying the getting off fee, she had to pay the changing of her statement fee, the entrance fee, the loss of youth fee, and finally even the loss of nutrition fee. Only then did Singer, the Saint of the Western Federation, realize that she had been fooled. She was so angry that she cursed and threatened to send troops to destroy Changshan County.
The other countries also discovered that something was wrong. Changshan County took all their benefits but did not fulfill the agreement. Later, Lin Wen publicly tore up the agreement on TV and declared that Changshan County would never be enslaved.
"If they don't see the evil in people's hearts, they won't know why flowers are so red."
This is what Lin Wen said privately to the backbone members of Changshan County.
Everyone in Changshan County was speechless about this, although they did receive generous rewards, which alleviated the pressure of Changshan County's severe shortage of military supplies, and they also gained popularity by tearing up the treaty.
But they have offended all the countries in the world.
Everyone was worried, except Lin Wen, who was smiling.
"Haha, I didn't expect there are such simple-minded and gullible people in the world. Are they all fools? I've used this trick so many times that it doesn't work in the empire anymore, but it still has a place to be used."
Xia Xiaoxiang rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "How can you live with your conscience by deceiving these naive people like this? You're destroying the environment by frying fish in the fish pond like this. How can you continue to cheat people in the future? You have to take things slow and steady, don't you understand?"
Qin Luoshuang covered her eyes and said, "How come I have two funny friends like you?"
Although Li Linyue couldn't quite accept Lin Wen's approach, she still tried to explain it to him: "The emperor can only resort to any means necessary and be ruthless. This is a helpless choice. He must be responsible for the interests of everyone. Justice, sunshine, and trustworthiness are luxuries for the successful."
"It's over, three hopeless ones..."
"Hey, we're still 20 million short of the total. Hey, Qin Luoshuang, do you still have some hidden money? Hand it over quickly."
Although Qin Luoshuang said no, she still handed over the Tiandi Bank card that she had hidden for a long time.
Looking at his private property decreasing rapidly, Qin Luoshuang did not feel distressed at all, but felt very happy instead.
"It's over, I'm hopeless..."
This large amount of supplies and money was eventually exchanged for weapons and ammunition, and they were still delivered through Qin Luoshuang's channels. She had a wide range of contacts, various identities, and a good reputation, so the sellers all trusted her.
Now, Changshan County finally has sufficient supplies, and the brothers no longer have to worry about the embarrassment of running out of bullets in the middle of a shoot.
Since repelling Lin Yabo's invasion, everyone has been in high spirits during this period. The battle process has been broadcast again and again. The exoskeleton armor, insect people, and big robots are all hot spots. They are scenes that you will never see or even imagine in your lifetime.
The battle between mechas and insect-men has become the hottest topic in Changshan County.
Among them, the story of their Chief of Staff Qin, who personally drove an angelic pure white robot to kill insects, was particularly popular.
It was said that with one shot, the sky would collapse and the earth would fall, and with one sword, millions of insects would be wiped out. It sounded so magical.
When Qin Luoshuang's photo was leaked by someone unknown, the boys and girls in Changshan County were almost boiling with excitement. For the first time, someone's reputation overshadowed County Chief Lin. The boys had their dream lover, and the girls had their idol to strive for.
Beautiful women driving robots into the battlefield has become their eternal dream.
Of course, no one has revealed the swimsuit issue yet, otherwise a large number of people would go crazy.
This also brought countless troubles to Qin Luoshuang. She received thousands of love letters almost every day. Every day, countless people crowded on the road leading to the county governor's guard department or the headquarters. The mysterious spy department was watched by people every day, and the number of people applying to transfer to the KGB skyrocketed.
A silhouette or a life photo of the beautiful Qin can attract countless followers, which makes Xia Xiaoxiang a little jealous. She pesters Lin Wen every day to build her a robot that is no less powerful than Qin Luoshuang.
"If my best friend has it, I want it too!"
These were Xia Xiaoxiang's original words, but Lin Wen didn't like what he said.
The craze quickly spread, and Li Linyue also came over. "Lin Wen, I want to drive a robot too. Build me a beautiful, noble, one-of-a-kind robot. It should be mainly gold to show the royal demeanor, but also pure white like snow to highlight my purity. It should also have long purple hair to symbolize mystery..."
Even Yun Qingshui, who had been farming, came over.
"Lin Wen, I want to go into battle and kill the enemy."
Lin Wen was overwhelmed with annoyance. "Why did you go into battle and kill the enemy? If anything happens to you, what will happen to the seeds I have painstakingly cultivated for years to plant in your body?"
Yun Qingshui's face flushed slightly. "I can't stand watching you fight from behind. I want to go into battle and kill the enemy. If you don't want me to, I'll go spread the seeds."
This sentence hit the nail on the head for Lin Wen. At this critical period of reincarnation, although he needed good karma, he was more afraid of bad karma.
He only wants good karma that he can control, and doesn't want good karma that carries the risk of huge bad karma.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it for you."
Yun Qingshui then smiled happily and said in a clear voice, "Lin Wen, I heard that you need to know martial arts to drive a robot. My Yun family's martial arts are very powerful and we won't let you down."
Lin Wen's face twisted. Now, the robots of the seven generals and the two aunts were nowhere to be seen, and now there was one more.
Not to mention the soul, he emptied Fermi's warehouse, added a few big locks, and wrote a seal: "County Chief Lin is not allowed to enter."
Lin Wen was very dissatisfied with this. It was just a small amount of experimental samples, but this was too stingy.
However, Lin Wen also knew that this was partly the reason why Fermi came to Lin Wen for advice but was unsuccessful after learning that his experimental product had been successfully transformed.
During this period, the only thing that made Lin Wen happy was that the production line of power armor was successfully expanded.
It has now become a very technologically mature production line. As long as there are enough raw materials, the daily output can exceed 1,800 sets.
In other words, 1,800 brothers can join the battlefield every day, and the mecha legion can increase by more than 50,000 people in a month.
Students who operate mechas don’t have to worry. The Mecha Academy is now very popular in Changshan County. If it weren’t for Lin Wen’s suppression, one million people could be admitted.
However, at present, the main recruits are still soldiers who have passed the assessment in the army. The academy also recruits ordinary people from Changshan County, but the number is relatively small.
The external recruitment trials for the Mecha Academy were set by Lin Wen himself. As long as one passed three tests and the matching degree exceeded 80%, one could enter the academy and become a glorious mecha warrior.
As soon as this legendary project appeared, it was enthusiastically welcomed by the residents of Changshan County.
Countless people rushed to register, and the registration office was packed every day. Even though there were 100 branch offices, it still couldn't ease the situation.
There is no one who doesn't want to become a mecha warrior of their dreams. Everyone firmly believes that they have hidden potential and are just waiting to make a splash in the trial.
This craze quickly exploded, and even mecha training classes emerged, including classes with a 100% passing rate, classes that guaranteed passing internal exams, classes for County Magistrate Lin's relatives, and so on.
Among them, the most popular group was the relatives of County Magistrate Lin. Without knowing it, Lin Wen also gained a lot of uncles, aunts, cousins, sons and daughters.
The most shocking thing is that when Fang Yaobo led the team to clean up the cancer here, he found that the cram school opened by County Chief Lin’s grandson was the most popular one.
Lin Wen was so angry that he issued a strict order that anyone who pretended to be a relative of County Magistrate Lin would be severely punished.
This evil trend must be eradicated. He can only have one daughter, and her position cannot be shaken.
Although there were some farces, it also indirectly demonstrated the stability and prosperity of Changshan County. It has become a dream place and a paradise.
But in the empire, the vast majority of people were sad and dejected.
The division of the empire made them feel terrified, the mutual accusations among all parties made them feel confused, and the former glory was far away from them. Many people could not believe that this was the truth when they woke up.
A powerful country was thus split into many pieces.
The Empire Network is filled with tyranny and pessimism. The traffic of the young ladies on the Yumaohu platform has dropped significantly, replaced by various survival videos, various theories and situation description videos. Outside of here, all discussions are banned, and many areas cannot even be connected.
Only the networks in Changshan County and the eastern region controlled by the Supreme Council are still in use.
Games became a channel for ordinary people to vent, but after the empire split, everything was getting worse, security was disappearing, welfare was decreasing, and work was becoming more and more onerous, and this was still in the relatively stable areas controlled by the Supreme Council.
In the areas where Lin Yabo, Ren Zhengqing, Wu Yao and others live, most people have almost turned into ants, worker bees, or something similar.
They have no freedom except eating and working.
In the Qin Group, the human trafficking business has become popular again. In order to pay for the huge military expenditure, the Qin Group is desperately trafficking in people, and most of the buyers are from countries such as Narema.
In this dark environment, the light of Changshan County became more and more obvious, but in the state of war, all borders have been blocked, and escape and migration have become impossible.
The population of Changshan County eventually settled at 50 million.
However, Changshan County itself is not without crisis.
Now, large-scale industries are facing serious difficulties in foreign trade sales. Major regions are only purchasing limited items they need, logistics are also facing difficulties, and some strategic materials have been banned from sale.
Fortunately, the Great Elder did not cut off the power, otherwise Changshan County would be in trouble.
But this also has a prerequisite. The Great Elder requires Changshan County to continue to repay the money and sell supplies to them at the lowest price.
If it was just this, he could still tolerate it. However, the Great Elder soon became more aggressive and asked Lin Wen for various technologies, various weapon production drawings, and even the production line of exoskeleton power armor.
Of course this is impossible.
Exoskeleton powered armor is the core combat capability of Changshan County. Its production line was completed by Lin Wen with painstaking efforts and countless souls.
It also contains the hard work of tens of thousands of engineers and countless scientists.
If this were given to him, Lin Wen wouldn't even be in the mood to reincarnate.
But the elder threatened the power supply:
"Without electricity, you can't produce anything. Your armor is just a pile of immobile scrap metal. Lin Yabo will tear you apart, and Qin Gang will swallow you up. To survive or to perish, it's your choice."
Changshan County.
In the large conference room.
Everyone who saw the telegram was furious.
Li Linyue and other imperial generals were reminded of the painful memories of being betrayed by the Supreme Council in Shenjing, and all of them were furious.
But Zhao Minggong, Yang Shaohu, Qin Luoshuang and others were very calm.
"Let's first feign compromise with the Great Elder and take this opportunity to build more thermal power stations. Mr. Fei, what is our electricity shortfall?"
Fermi said grimly, "It's huge, especially with the power armor. One power armor requires over 200 amps of current for 48 hours to fully charge from zero. We already have nearly 240,000 units, which means we're at least five Changshan Nuclear Power Plants short."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone calmed down.
The cold reality is before our eyes, and no one is unaware of the consequences of power outages.
This is destruction.
Compromise is inevitable.
But how to compromise is negotiable.
After a long discussion, everyone finally came up with a plan, trying to delay the Great Elder at the lowest cost and give Changshan County enough time to build a thermal power plant.
But no one has confidence that it will succeed.
"Should this telegram be sent to the Great Elder now?" Yang Shaohu asked.
"Report to County Magistrate Lin first." Zhao Minggong said calmly.
"Yes," said Cheng Hexin, Lin Wen's only secretary. "The telegram must at least be reviewed by County Magistrate Lin first."
Just as he finished speaking, Lin Wen pushed the door open.
Everyone gathered around and briefly explained the matter. After reading the telegram, Lin Wen nodded and asked, "Where is the transmitter?"
Everyone pointed to one side. Lin Wen walked over and asked, "How do we send it?"
The radio operator explained nervously, and Lin Wen concentrated on sending the message.
Everyone had mixed feelings. County Chief Lin chose to send such a humiliating and threatening telegram himself, which made everyone feel ashamed and moved.
Li Linyue clenched her fists tightly, gazing at Lin Wen's tall, handsome figure with his bright eyes and radiant eyebrows. She thought to herself, "To bear the country's disgrace is to be the master of the country; to bear the country's misfortune is to be the king of the world. Lin Wen is indeed qualified to be emperor... But what about my father? Should I persuade him to abdicate? Then I can become the queen..."
At this moment, Lin Wen's only aide, Ling Huayue, shouted, "No, what are you posting?"
Everyone looked together and saw only a short line of words written on the telegraph machine.
"Eat shit, Great Elder."
Ling Huayue screamed, "Quick, delete it..."
But it was too late. Lin Wen pressed the transmit button and the telegraph machine started to work. These six short words were instantly transmitted along the dedicated line to the Supreme Council.
"It's over." These two words popped up in everyone's mind.
"Okay." Lin Wen let out a long breath, and his depressed feeling disappeared.
