Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

It's impossible for an army to consist entirely of officers; a normal army must have a complete officer system.

Now, with the current officer system, the organizational structure of the Central Army is basically finalized.

The highest-ranking officials are Artoria and Jiang Shang. According to the traditional organization of the Chinese Empire, each of them can directly lead an army of up to 30,000 men.

However, if the two of them had more officers to assist them, they could easily form a combat army group. The number of troops in a combat army group could then be combined. Perhaps in the end, the army led by Artoria could exceed 100,000.

However, no one currently believes that Artoria actually has 100,000 men under her command.

The Luoyang Military Region originally had only 30,000 troops. Even with the integration of the Qilu and Yanjing Military Regions, and the ability to bring their forces under its control, loyalty and usability cannot be guaranteed in such a short time. If the Central Plains Military Region's truly usable troops double to 60,000, that would be quite good.

The second thing the emperor announced next, reforming the military system, seemed to confirm this.

The military system of the Chinese Empire, which was originally inherited from the Han Dynasty and improved upon, was changed again, and a military rank system was introduced.

In other words, the official titles conferred by the Emperor are equivalent to military ranks in the previous world of Momo, but the actual duties held in the military depend on separate appointments. Command of the army is primarily based on each officer's actual rank within the military.

This newly reformed military system immediately attracted everyone's attention; however, the detailed organizational structure of the army would certainly not be disclosed to the public.

Before the world's onlookers could even feel dissatisfied with the Chinese Empire's concealment of the new army's specific structure, the subsequent appointment of military officers once again gripped everyone's attention.

This was the third item announced by the Emperor.

Article 1: The First Army Group of the Chinese Empire shall be formed, with General Artoria as its core. The number of troops and the composition of the army shall be kept secret. The Second Army Group shall be formed, with General Jiang Shang as its core. All matters concerning this second army group shall also be kept secret.

The secrecy surrounding these details is infuriating to everyone, but if they want to keep their military composition secret, can outsiders force them to be completely transparent?

This press conference is already a world first. It's estimated that there's still a long way to go before all countries in the world can publish their own white papers and disclose their military strength.

And then, the four generals on the left, right, and front were not idle either.

Kuroyukihime was directly parachuted into the Air Force, establishing the First Air Force of the Chinese Empire and becoming its Commander-in-Chief. Li Xingke was parachuted into the Chinese Empire's Navy, establishing the First Navy of the Chinese Empire and becoming its Commander-in-Chief. The Rear General, whose name is also temporarily omitted, was put in charge of leading the First Artillery Force of the Chinese Empire.

As for Hong Gu, he remains the leader of the Central Army's Special Reaction Force. Although most of the personnel in the Special Reaction Force have been removed, its organizational structure remains intact and it has been reorganized. The specific tasks of this force are currently unknown.

This time, the composition of the Chinese Empire's army finally became clear to those who were interested.

At first, many people did not realize how powerful the central government was, but now, according to this organization, with two army groups and four special forces, the number of troops makes many people gasp.

Two army groups would require at least 30,000 men, and four special forces units would each require at least 15,000 men. Moreover, these forces would include the Chinese Empire's air force and navy, whose naval strength had never been weak.

These troops number at least 120,000, and possibly even 150,000. And this is only the army that the central government has publicly announced; the number of troops operating covertly is likely even greater.

In just three months, the Chinese Empire has built up such a massive army!

Even if we take the original 30,000 Imperial Guards as the core, and each soldier of the Imperial Guards is promoted to an official, it would only be enough to theoretically organize an army of 150,000.

How can we ensure the loyalty, operation, and combat effectiveness of such a large army?

Would the central government abandon loyalty altogether in its efforts to build up an army?

Some people began to shake their heads, wondering if the central government of the Chinese Empire had gone mad. What use was a large army if the 300,000 local troops who attacked Luoyang fully armed were the best proof of that?

Many people began to believe that the Central Military Region had gone mad due to its successive victories, and the last point announced by the Emperor almost convinced them of their own ideas.

It's not even appropriate to describe the old emperor as insane; rather, it's more accurate to say that the entire city of Luoyang has gone mad, completely insane, their minds clouded by victory!

Because, the emperor's final words were a declaration of war!

The Central Military Region and the Central Government of the Chinese Empire hereby declare war on all local military regions of the Chinese Empire that do not obey the orders of the Central Government!

……

September 18th is destined to be an extraordinary day in the history of the Chinese Empire.

On this day, the Chinese Empire officially announced its new military organization and reorganized its military system. Furthermore, what the world will remember even more is that the newly formed troops went directly to the battlefield that day, waging war against the remaining military regions of the entire Chinese Empire.

All the newly appointed generals, after receiving their sashes and seals, left the press conference and returned directly to their units to prepare for the upcoming war.

War can strike suddenly, like a tornado.

This sudden development finally made everyone realize that the true significance of this press conference was not just the announcement of the construction of a new army, but more of a declaration of war against the local authorities!

A declaration of war, a declaration of war by the central government against the local authorities!

A few months ago, 300,000 local troops marched into the Luoyang Military Region with great momentum, intending to take action against it. But now, the situation has completely reversed.

No one cared anymore about how the Central Committee handled the issues of loyalty and combat effectiveness among the various armies, nor did anyone ponder what gave the Central Committee the confidence to wage this war. The war had already begun and could not be avoided; the important thing was to focus on the upcoming battle situation.

The mobilization of such a large army would naturally be difficult to conceal from the eyes of various forces, given the sheer size of the army and the obvious objectives of the central government.

They could either head north to attack the Cao family in the Liaodong Military Region, or head south to attack the five military regions along the Yangtze River: the Jinling Military Region, the Panyu Military Region, the Jiangxia Military Region, the Dali Military Region, and the Yizhou Military Region.

However, no matter which direction you choose, it is destined to be an difficult choice.

Although the Liaodong Military Region has suffered a major loss of strength, it has now recovered somewhat with the support of the EU and is now determined to launch a counterattack against the mainland... cough cough, against the central government. This shows that Liaodong is still a tough nut to crack.

The five military regions along the Yangtze River have always been wealthy areas. With money, they can support their troops, and their weapons and equipment are usually good, so their combat effectiveness is unlikely to be weak. In addition, the Yangtze River serves as a natural barrier for defense, so it has never been an easy task to attack them.

So, what are the war options for the Central Army?

The answer came quickly.

Artoria led the First Army Group south, directly targeting the Nanjing Military Region from the Shandong Military Region. Meanwhile, Jiang Shang led the Second Army Group, defending the border between the Yanjing and Liaodong Military Regions, adopting a defensive posture.

The Nanjing Military Region became the primary target of the upcoming war.

The Jinling Military Region responded immediately, frantically mobilizing troops to prepare for defensive operations. Moreover, the five military regions along the Yangtze River have now formed an alliance. Apart from the Panyu and Dali Military Regions, which are too far away, the Jiangxia and Yizhou Military Regions have also mobilized troops to the north of their respective territories, showing a strong momentum to march north.

War was imminent, and the world's attention was once again focused on the Chinese Empire. Everyone wanted to see what kind of achievements the Central Army of the Chinese Empire, which had once created miracles, would make this time.

Moreover, this time, the strength of the Central Army will inevitably be fully exposed. Many people really want to see what exactly the Central Army relied on to win the Battle of Luoyang, and what it had to rely on to give it the courage to launch a direct attack on other forces.

The Chinese Empire has once again reached the brink of war. The EU's Grand Council is also in an uproar. After all, this is the last good opportunity to take action against the Chinese Empire. If they miss this opportunity and the Chinese Empire decides its internal conflict, then it will be none of their business, unless the EU really intends to go to war with the Chinese Empire.

Meanwhile, Britannia remained remarkably quiet under Charles's insistence on adhering to the deal. Since the emperor showed no interest in the Chinese Empire, the Britannian nobles once again threw themselves into the bitter struggle over the allocation of the vast Sakura Stone resources of District 11.

Even the Southeast Asian countries that had already occupied some of Britannia's territory became much more obedient and put away their mischievous thoughts after discovering that Britannia was not interested in the chaos of the Chinese Empire.

After all, neither Britannia nor the Chinese Empire could easily be dealt with by wielding a big stick. These small, sparsely populated countries were no match for a behemoth like India, which dared to pursue independence.

Just as the situation in the Chinese Empire was becoming increasingly tense, the entire Central Three Military Regions showed a thriving scene, as if the war was not being fought by them, but by the other side of the earth.

After several months of development, the petroleum industry system under Momer's leadership finally began to develop slowly.

Author's Note:

Third update

133 Our protagonist experienced guilt.

In the world of Code Geass, because oil has lost its most widespread use—as fuel and gasoline—the oil industry in Code Geass has remained stagnant.

The world still possesses a complete petroleum industry system, encompassing everything from extraction and refining to chemical synthesis. After all, societal development is inseparable from petrochemical industrial products; however, the applications of petrochemicals in this world are quite limited.

Because of Sakura Stone, the materials science of this world is quite advanced, and the technology of petrochemical synthesis is even slightly more advanced than that of Momo's previous life.

However, due to low demand, oil production is also low, and the overall oil industry does not have high quantity requirements. Therefore, many high-yield technologies have not been applied, and the overall industry scale is small.

The arrival of Momo brought a more complete petrochemical industrial system, expanding the original system and making the whole system more comprehensive.

Meanwhile, since Momo has introduced the internal combustion engine to this world, the demand for oil will naturally increase. Therefore, after the central government stabilized, the plan to increase oil extraction and refining production has been put on the agenda. As a key project personally designated by the Emperor, it has already begun to show results.

While further advancement would require a complete redesign of the production line and a fundamental overhaul, the current scale of expansion is sufficient for Momo's needs.

After all, the internal combustion engine is currently a military product of Momo's side, exclusively for military use, and the increase in oil production capacity is also exclusively supplied by the military.

The extensive petrochemical system that Momo brought to the table has been seized upon by those in the oil industry as if it were a treasure. They know very well that if oil truly has such diverse uses as Momo's data suggests, then the currently lackluster oil industry will definitely be revitalized!

Even without revealing the internal combustion engine, the role of petrochemicals in the three aspects of clothing, food, and housing is enough to make the petroleum industry in Lelouch's world one of the emerging leading industries.

However, time is limited, and the oil industry, which represents the lifeblood of a nation, cannot be built overnight. Currently, the focus is on patching up and improving the existing, weak industrial system. Only when the country is stable will the entire system have sufficient human, material, and financial resources for reform and revitalization.

The entire country's industrial system also needs to be reborn and developed. Only after the whole country is stabilized can it be developed with the full strength of the nation.

Otherwise, relying on just one or two military regions would still be at a small-scale level, and the goal of making the Chinese Empire a global industrial hub would remain a distant dream.

All of this is something that can't be rushed, and we can leave the matters on the battlefield to Artoria. Momo is finally feeling much more relaxed right now.

Although Momo still has many directional matters to deal with, three months have allowed everything he has come up with to start getting on track. Unless Momo comes up with a completely new technology that is beyond the understanding of this era, the rest can be left to the local technicians and engineers to rack their brains and exhaust themselves.

Therefore, Mo Mo's most important task right now is to spend time with the little loli Jiang Lihua, the little loli Karen, and the meat slave CC. Even Yuki, who is by Mo Mo's side, was bored and took on the role of a new recruit instructor, going to the military camp to torture and teach the rookie recruits.

As a result, the name "Absolute Sword Yuki" began to circulate among the central military forces, and many people began to take pride in receiving guidance from Yuki, with a large number of soldiers even wanting to directly become Yuki's disciples.

With Artoria and Kuroyukihime as role models, more and more women are choosing to join the military, and no man dares to openly look down on women in the military anymore.

This left Mo Mo both amused and exasperated. Even Yuki found it boring, which made Mo Mo feel a pang of guilt.

Is it a bit too shameless of me to be a hands-off manager and let the girls around me do all the work?

Thinking of this, Mo Mo could no longer bear the pain in her heart. She took CC, who was eating pizza, into her room and had a deep self-comfort session with CC to soothe her wounded heart.

"Karen, where did the teacher go? Those two always leave with smiles on their faces, did they secretly go to play some fun games?"

Jiang Lihua, who often witnessed this scene, was using the neural connection device to learn what Mo Mo had set up, while looking at Karen with innocent eyes. Karen's gaze, however, was somewhat unfocused. She said, "Who knows what they're doing? I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

Karen was feeling guilty when she said this, because she not only knew what Momo and CC were doing, but she had also actually seen it with her own eyes and even watched the whole thing.

At that time, Karen had no idea what strange things the two of them were doing, but now, with the neural connection device, no one can stop Karen's curiosity or prevent her from obtaining the knowledge she craves from the internet.

"Karen, you're lying! Why did you lie to me!"

However, Jiang Lihua, being naturally quick to notice, immediately noticed Karen's guilty conscience. She pulled Karen aside and said, "Karen, tell me, tell me what Teacher and Sister CC are doing, or I won't play with you anymore!"

"Don't be ridiculous, how could I tell you!"

Karen's face was full of helplessness, then she pointed to the maids in the distance and said, "Hey, why don't you tell the princess what Momo and CC were up to?"

The poor, innocent maids, unlike Karen, were shameless. They all blushed and lowered their heads. Even if they were beaten to death, they would never dare to tell Jiang Lihua such a thing!

"Waaah—"

"You're bullying me! I'm going to find my father!"

Hearing this, Karen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go, go quickly, go find the Emperor, the Emperor will answer you!"

So Jiang Lihua actually went to see the Emperor, who then sent the Imperial Guards to wake up Mo Mo, who was fast asleep from exhaustion after the exercise, and bring him to the palace for a long talk that lasted all night. The topic of their conversation was the education and guidance of teenagers.

Mo Mo expressed his deep remorse and vowed never again to show an expression unbecoming of a teacher in front of Jiang Lihua. After making these repeated promises, Mo Mo returned to the Mo residence under the disdainful gaze of Gao Hai, who came to report on official business that morning. Overwhelmed with grief and remorse, Mo Mo could only go to CC, who had just woken up, for another deep self-consolation.

Incidentally, while comforting herself, Mo Mo couldn't help but feel sympathy for Gao Hai; Gao Hai's life was truly imperfect.

Perhaps guessing what Mo Mo was thinking, CC, her face flushed, couldn't help but roll her eyes, let out a soft hum, and stretched her body, releasing a series of tremors that burst forth from the bottom of her heart.
