I, Qi Tongwei, cultivate demonic arts and will begin my reign as emperor in northern Myanmar!

"what's up?"

Lu Bingkun said in a deep voice.

"As our reputation grows, many investment companies have taken a liking to our development prospects. They have been frequently contacting us lately, asking if we need investment."

"Look at this matter..."

Qi Tongwei's gaze sharpened, and without even thinking, he immediately rejected the idea.

"Just refuse them directly. Our Great Han Empire is not without strength. Why should we share the money we can earn with them?"

"Those investment companies are all driven by profit; just ignore them."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I know what to do."

After Lu Bingkun left, Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought.

Although their Great Han Empire has achieved certain successes, he is not complacent about them.

The global cosmetics market is worth a staggering $5000 billion, a truly enormous and enviable figure.

Although their Great Han Empire has entered the cosmetics industry, it is only just beginning. Although business is good, it is still far behind such a huge market share.

In his opinion, it would be terrifying if he could capture more than a third of the global market!

However, Qi Tongwei was not too worried about this goal.

Because he is confident in his product.

He is a demon cultivator with unpredictable abilities. If nothing unexpected happens, he is the only one in the world who can refine pills.

This is his unique advantage, because he can easily make one or two products that become bestsellers.

Currently, their Royal Anti-Aging Essence is widely favored by consumers.

To ensure sustainable development, he deliberately kept a backup plan: although the Royal Youth Preservation Elixir was highly effective, its effects had an expiration date.

Once the expiration date has passed, if you don't use the Royal Anti-Aging Essence, your skin will revert to its previous state.

However, he didn't tell anyone about this, not even Lu Bingkun.

For any company to survive and thrive, its product quality must be up to standard, but if the quality is too good, it will be digging its own grave.

Once consumers have experienced the benefits of their products, and if their skin returns to its previous condition, they will definitely return to purchase Royal Anti-Aging Essence again.

During this process, they neither think nor notice that the skin problems on their faces are due to the expiration date of the Royal Anti-Aging Essence.

Following their habitual way of thinking, they would attribute it to his (4) other reasons. 2…←9�≯〇〓∏wu*

After using the Royal Anti-Aging Essence a second time to solve their skin problems, they will become even more fond of this product.

In this way, the Royal Anti-Aging Essence alone can secure them a loyal customer base and generate a continuous stream of profits.

This is what sustainable development truly means!

Of course, Qi Tongwei's goals are not limited to the Chinese market and the Korean and Japanese markets; his sights are set on other countries around the world.

He had already instructed Lu Bingkun on this matter, and the export formalities are currently being processed.

To capture more than a third of the world's market share, exports are essential, because the population and profits of a country or region are limited.

If the market becomes saturated, they will enter a bottleneck period.

However, while the Royal Anti-Aging Elixir brought huge profits, Qi Tongwei's thinking was also very clear.

He understands that relying on just one or two products cannot drive significant economic growth. Although they are making a lot of money now, it doesn't last long when considering the national scale.

The money we have now can only be considered a royal treasury at best.

However, no matter what, they are now rich, and their 60,000-strong army can be fully equipped with the most advanced weapons.

Qi Tongwei has already instructed Su Qidu to handle this matter.

After several transactions, he also discovered that the Dragon Kingdom seemed very willing to sell weapons to them.

As for purchasing weapons from other countries, Qi Tongwei had considered it, but for the time being, there was no need for it, because China could fully meet their current needs and consumption.

Besides, weapons from other countries are expensive and not as cheap and effective as those from China.

Most importantly, the other party is very considerate, not only trustworthy but also providing door-to-door delivery service.

This saved them a lot of trouble.

With the army's numbers increasing, Qi Tongwei had new ideas in mind.

He plans to select a group of people to form a heavily armed combined arms brigade.

This brigade will be fully equipped with heavy weapons, and will be equipped with the most advanced and powerful weapons and equipment to maximize their combat effectiveness.

His idea wasn't just about fighting in northern Myanmar; it was preparation for the future.

Northern Myanmar is nothing.

According to his estimate, with the current military strength and manpower of their Great Han Empire, it wouldn't be long before they could unify northern Myanmar.

As for the goals after unification, Qi Tongwei already has some ideas.

Siam!

He targeted Siam because Siam is the second largest economy in Southeast Asia with a very developed economy, but its overall military strength is not particularly strong.

The Kingdom of Siam currently has a total active-duty military force of approximately 30. Their army's main equipment consists of T-84 main battle tanks manufactured by Russia and VT40 main battle tanks manufactured by China.

In addition, they also have very advanced infantry fighting vehicles, which are the mainstay equipment of the Siamese army and have very strong combat capabilities.

Despite this, the Siamese army still has a large amount of outdated equipment, including more than 700 old tanks and more than 800 armored personnel carriers, as well as large and small caliber artillery.

These weapons and equipment have not been phased out and continue to be used in the military, which has greatly affected the combat effectiveness of the Siamese army.

Qi Tongwei plans to purchase only the most advanced weapons from China; he doesn't want the junk.

Once he unifies northern Burma and goes to war with Siam, they will definitely not lose to Siam in terms of advanced weaponry.

Besides, they were well-equipped and faced no pressure against the outdated equipment of the Siamese Kingdom, not to mention that the entire army of their Great Han Empire consisted of elite soldiers capable of fighting ten men each.

Therefore, it is entirely possible for them to defeat 300,000 with only 60,000 men!

Once Siam is conquered, the Han Empire will see a significant boost in both its territory and economic strength.

In that way, their Great Han Empire would have a firm foothold in Southeast Asia.

Of course, with its current military strength, it would be very difficult for the Great Han Empire to destroy the Kingdom of Siam. However, Qi Tongwei had already come up with a plan.

When the Great Han Empire was first established, it defined its armed forces as land, sea, and air.

The air force is currently nowhere to be seen, and their air defense capabilities are very weak. Although they are protected by formations, they will still be in a very passive position if the enemy launches an air strike against them.

If the formation's energy is depleted, it will be quite dangerous if the enemy attacks from the air.

Therefore, he emphasized to Su Qidu this time that he should purchase weapons from China, specifically a batch of air defense weapons.

After all, if they wipe out those warlords in northern Myanmar this time, the entire northern Myanmar will become the territory of their Great Han Empire.

However, with his current strength, the array he can set up is not enough to cover the entire northern Myanmar.

Therefore, they urgently need air defense weapons.

He certainly didn't want to go to war with Siam after 9/40, only to have his home base stolen by the enemy's air force. [5■] (6□) 4□

Ugh!

Qi Tongwei suddenly sighed.

He now understands somewhat why the United States values ​​scientists so much.

All those powerful weapons and scientific research achievements rely on top talents for research and production.

Take China as an example. They have successfully developed devastating weapons. One top scientist in this field is worth more than an army of hundreds of thousands!

The strategy of strengthening the nation through talent is not only applicable to the Dragon Kingdom, but also to the Great Han Empire.

He plans to train a group of scientists!

The cultivation resources in this world are limited, and he cannot make everyone follow him to cultivate demonic arts. Therefore, if he wants to dominate the world, he still needs to rely on the technology and weapons of mortals.

Moreover, some of the weapons and technologies in this world are quite valuable.

It should be understood that even powerful weapons pose a significant threat to cultivators with high levels of skill.

Qi Tongwei decided that he would establish a Royal Academy of Sciences of the Great Han Empire.

But those are things that happened later.

Currently, their sphere of influence is only the tiny state of Karen, which is still too small a territory.

Those top talents are all proud and arrogant individuals.

If they cannot see the promising future of the Great Han Empire, they probably won't come even if they are offered generous treatment.

A presentable image is important, but for a country, a strong nation is essential to attracting talent—this is an age-old truth.

Qi Tongwei was well aware of this, which is why he was so eager to launch a war and annex northern Myanmar!

He had already devised a plan to attack northern Myanmar.

……

the next day.

Qi Tongwei summoned Su Qidu.

"Su Qing, send someone to deliver a message to the United Wa State Army, telling Bao Youxiang that our Great Han Empire intends to unify northern Myanmar. If he is willing to surrender, we can spare his life. If he is obstinate and insists on opposing our Great Han Empire, our Great Han Iron-Blooded Army will crush the entire Wa State!"

hiss!

Su Qidu was shocked by the kingly aura emanating from Qi Tongwei.

He gasped, his heart pounding with excitement.

This is Wa State!

In the past, he wouldn't have had the confidence to challenge the United Wa State Army.

After all, the United Wa State Army has 3 people, while he only had a little over 1 at most.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is still quite significant.

But now, those members of the United Wa State Army have become lambs to the slaughter in his eyes.

Their Great Han Empire now has 6 elite troops. Not to mention that their numbers are twice that of the enemy, their weaponry and military combat power are also unmatched by the enemy.

They are now truly in a position to put pressure on Wa State!

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away."

...Swelling! |:9si△＼㈧2「↓like∮>Three Umbrellas·Evoking∫∨Covering

After Su Qidu left, he immediately sent someone to deliver a message.

Wa State, headquarters of the United Army.

Bao Youxiang was drinking tea in his tent when one of his trusted men walked in.

The other person was holding a letter.

"Commander, we have received a letter from the Great Han Empire. The person sent by Su Qidu said that it was delivered to you by Emperor Qi Tongwei of the Great Han Empire."

Qi Tongwei!

The Great Han Empire?

Upon hearing these two names, Bao Youxiang frowned.

He had heard of Qi Tongwei.

The other party is quite capable. He fled from being a desperate fugitive wanted by the Dragon Kingdom to northern Myanmar. Now, he is lucky. Somehow, he subdued Suqidu, defeated the Burmese army, occupied Kayin State, became a local emperor, and even established a country.

However, in his view, Qi Tongwei was just playing house, and he estimated that he would not last long before being wiped out by the Burmese army.

He didn't take Qi Tongwei and the Great Han Empire seriously at all, but he didn't expect that more than half a month later, Qi Tongwei and his Great Han Empire would still exist.

However, he soon became less surprised.

After all, the Burmese army's reputation for being useless is well-known among the warlords in northern Myanmar.

"show me."

A trusted aide stepped forward and respectfully handed the letter to Bao Youxiang.
